2:01 pm
what lies behind the scenes power. in the footsteps of the fab 4 we report from abbey road 50 years after the beatles created one of the most recognized album covers in music history. one of a will continue i'm honored that she. italy has plunged into a political crisis the far right league party now says it will go ahead with a no confidence motion after calling for snap elections this after its leader interior minister matteo salvini announced at the coalition with a populist 5 star movement has collapsed over policy differences italy's prime minister has accused salvini of fabricating a crisis. this is not an election rally. but it looks like mathias
2:02 pm
salvini is already gearing up for a vote. i do my job with my heart with with pride if i can do it freely and until the end i mean if i realize that someone is trying to stop me then the decision must go back to the italian people with no ifs and buts. you decide you and no one else is not a people. boy. any is leader of the far right league party currently in coalition with the end he established in 5 star movement but after the 2 parties failed to agree on the financing of a multi-billion euro trainline something he called for fresh elections although he has no power to do so. italian prime ministers reset the continent is not a member of either party but he did criticize salvini. evident that it's not up to matters salvini to convene parliament it's not up to him to set the timeframe for
2:03 pm
a political crisis where now other institutional figures will have to step in. to the authorities on the country it will be after him as a senator a leader of the league. explained to the nation and the justified in front of the voters who had believed in the promise of change. the reasons why he has decided to disrupt the work of government ahead of time. but the main coming let's go ahead and but conti has agreed to convene parliament for a vote of confidence in the government. as for south in its coalition partners fellow deputy prime minister luigi maya from the 5 star movement says they want to do the job of government then go to the electorate make them or not at all are we going to end our time in government with some good work which can be done by senators and deputies voting to cut their numbers and saving italians 500000000
2:04 pm
euros then everyone can go to the polls. the coalition has only been in existence for 14 months in that time south ynys lake county has doubled in popularity close watches of italian politics will be wondering if that has more to do with the timing of his demands than any internal bickering. and for the very latest let's go straight to room and to journalist a jew yes how daily judea critics are saying that much your salvini has many factions this political crisis now he's currently very high in opinion polls in the country why is he so popular. well so gainey has been writing in popularity over the last year and that has allowed him to basically have free reign within his government now polls now project him if elections were to take place now actually getting up to 37 percent of the votes and there's a 20 percent increase on what his party that gained in elections in $1.00 to
2:05 pm
$20000.00 that is a huge increase and he is basically taking the spot of the 5 star movement which was the 1st party back then and has receded to 3rd party so the tables have completely turned now also b.d. has become the prime anti establishment figure within the italian political spectrum and that has the most huge popularity he has also used a very aggressive communication strategy he has portrayed himself as a very strong leader but at the same time as someone who is just a normal citizen winter is going to the beach eating his message out in needles and that really does appeal to you telling people so how serious is the crisis in the government is really heading for elections at the moment the crisis seems to be quite significant and elections are looking likely. and the man you're also the head of the 5 star movement at least have been going for attention through the last
2:06 pm
few months and it appears that since he has decided to escalate the crisis with this important vote on training infrastructure in italy now so venus offered the prime minister does that the quantity resigned the think the issue is now going to head to parliament which will have to vote no confidence votes and probably go to elections. barely thank you very much this i'm going to perspective from brussels i'm not joined by our correspond bent to get there how are these developments in if you will be viewed by the european union. the stumbling italy is never good news for europe of cause italy is the 3rd biggest economy in the eurozone and italy's economy is not going well and the debt is much too high there's a lingering budget dro with the commission and on the other hand. is perceived as a dangerous man by many european politicians here in brussels because he said gifted riving populist and he wants to deconstruct the e.u.
2:07 pm
he wants a revolution in the european union and of course he is against any resolution of the migration issue in europe but he also has friends in europe the hunger ariens the pows and also the doj land on the side of matteo savini so it will be very interesting to watch how this plays out for u.p.a. and union in the full band he gets in darfur thank you very much. that's been i'll bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world authorities in indian controlled kashmir have announced they will ease a strict curfew in the main city for friday prayers the muslim majority region is under intense security lockdown after delhi announced it was revoking its autonomy status pakistan and india lay claim to the reach and. pro-democracy activists in hong kong last teaching in airport city in as they moved to gone to international support for. the group plans to demonstrate in the for 3 days protests began months

2:10 pm
welcome emily now so i think putin became president at a time of great political turbulence in both soviet russia did people back then think he would still be here today 20 years later. well when he was appointed prime minister he was basically an unknown on the political scene in russia in fact so much so that when he became president just a few later a few months later excuse me one american journalist famously asked who is mr putin but he always represented a contrast to the former president boris yeltsin who was kind of known as a bit of a drunk putin was young report represented a new face always emphasize that he didn't drink and he has come to represent stability here you have to remember that he came to power just after the ninety's which was a time of huge social and economic upheaval and even chaos here in russia after the
2:11 pm
fall of the soviet union and for many russians it really represents a kind of trauma that they have been struggling to get over for the last for the last 20 years while he has been in power he came to power to rising oil prices so that brought an economic upturn and many russians see him as really having as they say raised russia from its knees and he's come to represent the restoration of of kind of dignity and a sense of national pride here in russia and that seems to be one of his key goals as president to distill the building of russia in the. ija how does this good shift his foreign policy do you think emily. i think it's been very fundamental to shaping his foreign policy kind of presenting russia after having having that loss of dignity of the fall of the soviet union kind of restoring russia's great power status has been his main goal when it comes to international policy when he 1st
2:12 pm
came to power in the early 2000 he really tried to kind of build good relations with the west he was the 1st leader for example who expressed his condolences to george w. bush after 911 in 2001 but there is a perception here among observers that he kind of was knocking on the closed doors when it comes to the west and that in a way that has also defined the way russia's foreign policy has often been to science towards the west including for example with the annexation of the crimean peninsula in 2014 which was condemned broadly in the international community even though it has been very popular here in russia and i think you're putin has in many ways successfully managed to get a seat at the table for russia when it comes to the international stage when we look at the crisis in syria when we look at kind of its attempt to
2:13 pm
putin's attempt to be a mediator in the middle east and in the denuclearize ation of the korean peninsula as well i think his main goal is to present russia as an important world power and he's been pushing for that for the last 20 years and he might you have made you know restored russia's national pride but he's a little just politicians whose more popular tool then he's overseas explain his of p.d. to the people of russia. well yes he has been hugely popular throughout his career even though newest polls show that trust and writing are put in is actually at an all time low at the moment of just just over 30 percent we spoke to some russians here in moscow to find out what they think of him 20 years after he came on to the political scene let's take a look. you couldn't you there's never been
2:14 pm
a tradition in russia the power voluntarily 1st several hundreds of years ours ruled until this year so the traditions are. new. and since we have jobs. freeze on the rise the army. i quite like. debility is a good thing as of today i don't see if it. well putin's image really here in russia and putin's popularity has been based on this idea of stability of restoring order of restoring national pride but we've seen that recent economic stagnation does seem to be de king a bite out of his popularity there have been protests across the country in recent months and kind of in the past year after the unpopular pensions reform as well and
2:15 pm
also against a plan to garbage dumps for example in the north of the country and there have been these recent protests for the last month or so in moscow for the registration of independent candidates to the moscow duma elections there does seem to be a growing sense of dissatisfaction here in russia especially with the economic situation and putin in the last few months and even since the beginning of his last term has kind of been trying to shift his focus away from the international stage to really get to grips with those domestic issues that used to w.'s emily show and from moscow assessing 20 years. here watching the news coming up ahead recreating one of them was recognizing album combos in music history the report from abbey road 50 years off the top traffic there. but 1st when this over the hugely damaging environmental impact of single use

2:17 pm
based ones. the production process is simple after cutting the said grass is trimmed to the right length. after that it's washed and sterilized in boiling water. the natural straws then dried outside in the sun. the process makes them ready to use and reuse entry use today the small company employs 13 people. already has 8 regular clients buying his 100 percent organic product they include up and coming restaurants in the capital kampala. we've been seeing a lot of plastic waste pile up actually in our restaurant among others and really in plastic containers with straws and this is one of the forefront items which we
2:18 pm
see in a glass in front of a client every day and really it's because this is a really great way to start. plastic straws need 200 years to decompose so customers here and welcoming the natural alternative. this is the 1st time i still get the point is that if this proves that there must be that thing that when you said oh that's a little used that way they feel like you could clean them. and i mean it's natural that. has his sights set high for his business he wants to see plastic straw usage in uganda drop by almost half in the next 5 years. shift in by i have sold on reports the german companies offer to be $8000000000.00 to settle thousands of lawsuits the legal cases relate to the black to say to base to be to kill or round up need by pimps the duty month until some of the came in

save the chemical gave them can sell the bias is there's no evidence of a link with the disease the company's talk shows as much as 11 percent during early trading. and for more on this story guess how the fs from on business desk joins me it was how significant is this the bias well actually it is very significant is this a bit of spin hanging over by a for a year now and that you can see how significant it was by the fact that investors thought it was quite significant shares were up like 11 percent at times today at the county they're around a 3 percent up and it takes the pressure off of an a bomb in the sea off by a he has been under fire tremendously for buying this company and not for seeing this massive wave of losses coming by as way but $8000000000.00 sounds like a lot of money it still is but it's very reasonable if it if you put it into perspective this tool the figures i'd like to give you the market by a lost market value of $34000000000.00 in market value so $8000000000.00 doesn't
2:20 pm
sound so much anymore and secondly with this wave of trials $18000.00 lawsuits filed against by in the us where juries tend to give a david. david against goliath cases that they give david the david's huge payouts and it just one more figure the last. payout that was given to. a plaintiff was $2000000000.00 to a couple in california and if you divide $88.00 there divide $8000000000.00 580-0000 you end up at 443000 dollars per plaintive so that i think these figures put into perspective is actually quite a reasonable deal of via own good thank you thank you very much. for that explanation and information. tourism is

komodo dragon will return to water. conservation and that is our goal of course at sea komodo national park will not be closed entirely but the closure is only limited to komodo island there are still many other beautiful islands in the national park by. so i got into. the local government says the temporary closure of komodo island would be an opportunity to plant more trees and to give all animals a chance to recover. afterwards high entrance fees and a limited tourist permits could become a reality angering some residents who depend on the giant lizards for their livelihood. but indonesia's authorities are. coming to island meets a break from simmons. and. tennis momentum leading into the u.s. open continued as he cruised to victory at the ranch just cup in montreal the
