authoritarian rule of law. marks 2 decades in office a moscow correspondent what's behind the scenes power. and the search for china just a single use plastic bottle a company in uganda is rediscovering a traditional and completely natural substitute. drinking straw. to have you with us. italy has been times in diplomatic crisis off the far right league party said it would go ahead with a no confidence motion and its own government that's after the party leader a deputy prime minister. announced that his coalition with a populist a 5 star movement had collapsed over policy differences the prime minister has

accused salvini of fabricating a crisis. this is not an election rally but it looks like mathias salvini is already gearing up for a vote. i do my job with my heart with with pride if i can do it freely until the end i mean if i realise 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 paper. boy. little. self any is leader of the far right league party currently in coalition with the anti establishment 5 star movement but after the 2 parties fail to agree on the financing of a multi-billion euro train line something called for fresh elections although he has no power to do so. the italian prime minister's reset picante is not

a member of either party but he did criticize salvini. evident that it's not up to my tears salvini to convene parliament. it's not up to him to set the timeframe for a political crisis where now other institutional figures will have to step in. on the country it will be after him as a senator a leader of the league. explained to the nation and the justify 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 governing. but conti has agreed to convene poem and for a vote of confidence in the government as herself in its coalition partners fellow deputy prime minister luigi the 5 star movement says they want to do the job of government then go to the electorate make them or not at all overnight when 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 euros then everyone can go to the polls. the coalition has only been in existence for 14 months in that time solving these lake county has doubled in popularity close watch as 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 journalists julius how delhi nigeria critics are saying that much you salvini has manufactured this political crisis now he's currently very high in opinion polls in the country why is he so popular. but so d.d. has been rising 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 going up to 37 percent of the votes and there's a 20 percent increase on what his party that gained in the elections in march of $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 said 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 or is going to the beach eating his message out in news and that really does appeal to you telling people so how serious is the crisis in the government is it 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 have been going for attention through the last few months and it appears that since he has decided to escalate the crisis with this important vote aren't training infrastructure a bit early now so venus scoffed at the prime minister is 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 just barely thank you very much and if i'm going to perspective from brussels i'm not joined by our cars fine bentley good but how are these developments in italy being viewed by the european union. that's something 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 right wing populist and he wants to deconstruct the e.u. he wants a revolution in the european union and of course he is against any resolution of the migration issue in europe and but he also has friends in europe the hunger ariens the pows and also the doj now and on the side of matteo savini so it would be very interesting to watch how this plays out for european union in the full band to get in darfur thank you very much. that's been having yesterday but some of the stories making news around the bond he was sufficient say they've released some tree 100 booker's stepped up in a massive immigration raid 700 meter back machine workers were rounded up in the state of mississippi on wednesday on suspicion of working illegally in the country the reeds have drawn criticism from democrats off to children were left without

cube at the center of mecca grand mosque. it was 20 years ago today that russian president vladimir putin came to power at the time he was a relatively unknown figure he was singled out by post soviet leader boris yeltsin no one knew back then that he would have an iron grip on the country for the next 2 decades and pushing one public supported by his military successes including cracking down on separatists in chechnya and during his 1st presidency the economy grew for straight 8 years now playing on his hard man image he won a series of election victories his current runs for another 5 yes in 2014 it was widely condemned internationally for russia's annexation of the crimea since then sacking shins and falling oil prices have squeezed the russian economy now relations with the united states and dollar trump are also tense both sides recently walked away from a key nuclear missile treaty raising fears of

a new arms race despite a solid support at home opposition to putin is growing always a targeted and repression of political opponents but it will look about vladimir putin i'm joined by do w.'s emily sheldon from our moscow bureau welcome emily now still 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 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 distil the building of russia in the soviet eva how has 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 and when he 1st 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 your 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 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 made you know restored russia's national pride but he's a little just politicians who's more popular tool than 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 when you put in is actually at an all time low at the moment of just just over 30 percent we

spoke to some russians here and moscow to find out what they think of him 20 years after he came on to the political scene let's take a look. there's never been 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. on the rise the army. i quite like and i think debility is a good thing as of today i don't see if it replacement for. 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 also against planned garbage dumps for example in it 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 the buffalo's moscow correspondent and really showing with the assessment of his 20 years in power tinning now to india where the government has eased

a few destructions needs to allow people in the muslim majority region to attend friday prayers but otherwise the indian controlled part of the state remains on troops on the streets telecommunications content hundreds of politicians on the rest india's prime minister has proclaimed what he calls a new era for me following his decision to devote the region sending a toll on the misstate is not in the will of the said his government action would free the region from terrorism and separatism have a listen. those supplemental as a family. and the whole nation have taken and historic decision. and arrangement in which our brothers and sisters from jammu kashmir and lubbock had been deprived of their rights which have been a great obstacle in their development. is being removed as

a result of how it should walk you. now do you have this new show just one is following this story from delhi nisha movie says he wants to integrate closely with the rest of the nation but bush league is still in lockdown is any indication how long this will last. well yes on the thought porting to prime minister naji and more the on the beach if the government this move will basically have the shmita integrated better and also develop fausto and gain national and international investment but of course there is no clear indication of when the security lockdown in the state they did come to a close he did mention briefly as to be that he understands that the be put off question we have been affected by the security but he came that they also understand why this is happening and are supportive off the move but of course it's been difficult to actually get better if occasion all of this from but the question

itself that has been easing all for restrictions that's what's being reported because of friday press traditionally friday prayers within islam and of course events coming up on monday and his speech as well from the sunni and more they did mention that every effort from be made to make sure eagles of small would meet and say if you. look at politicians in kashmir have been arrested what do we know about their fate. well again number thought i would bring you back to prime senator and remove these species yesterday he did say that he wants elections to go off smoothly in fish need he assured the fish midis that they able to get to 2 was dead on representatives but on the counter point critics have pointed out that if bush meaning is afraid to choose that at present why are politicians who have represented in the past still under lockdown there's no reports yet about if those politicians will be released or not but we're also hearing reports that politicians

from other parts of the country who perhaps a flew in from denny parliamentarians who want to go see the situation on the ground have been detained so clearly it looks like so far but of politicians are not going to be relieved anytime soon but again we're waiting for statements we waiting for more information all of which is difficult to get during this communications blackout in pakistan is very angry with india's move in kashmir but it has ruled on military action how tense are relations between the 2 nuclear neighbors. well definitely on the pup aka stan has already suspended trade and diplomatic ties with india india has and cottaging it to not to do so barca stand also suspended an important scene so it was that runs between pakistan and india this decision was taken yesterday but another key aspect of what pakistan tries to do with the kashmir issue is to internationalize it this

has been the case for others on of the issue for the 4 decades of the boss why it pakistan and india have gone through conflicts over the region and once again pakistan has appealed to the united nations and the international community to weigh in we have heard from the un and from america as well but both have india and pakistan to exercise restraint to promote dialogue and to not take a state military action it's also important to note that in deference to the us focused on stance alarmist and does not see that avocation of the special status as any kind of an aggression it simply says this was a temporary vision and it's time for it to end and we should just well in delhi thank you very much. and we have more on push me later on deja news asia when it's about the dim damaging environmental impact of single use plastics is growing things like straws and still increasingly being bantered around the was and for those who don't want to go with them there's a renewable tentative from uganda. going back to their roots

these young ugandans have found a way of making money from a free not to resource and protecting the environment. mambo started his business 4 months ago with just 50 euros he only had to remember the wisdom of his grandparents. these straws are long ago our sister has used them for drinking. in uganda and it's true as we used to they used to get them from. and other places so we saw that it would be a great opportunity for us to buy single use plastic straws are we plant 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 are then dried outside in the sun. the process makes them ready to use and reuse entry use today this 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 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 this last bit of thing for us but i would absolutely use them if they feel like you can clean them. and they mean it's natural. has his sights set high for his business he wants to see plastic straw usage in uganda dropped by almost half in the next 5 years. tourism is a huge money spinner all of the world but it's coming at an ever increasing cost to the environment and some countries have begun to take action including indonesia is considering shutting down part of national park next year to help save its famous but endangered inhabitants the komodo dragon. well come to komodo island part of the komodo national park and home of the world's largest lizard the komodo dragon. wellcome for now because the island could be off

limits to tourists from the start of next year to get the dragon and the honest ecosystem some much needed time to recover. komodo dragons must be saved and preserved because there's only one komodo dragon in the world and i always joke that even in heaven there are no komodo dragons you know they exist only here in komodo national park before the main principle is how can we preserve the komodo dragon in its natural habitat. that. the komodo dragon is the fibrosis predator it grows up to 3 metres long and can bring down a water buffalo with its strong limbs and separated teeth which deliver a venomous bite it's the perfect tourist attraction every month 10000 visitors make the long journey to this remote part of indonesia to lay their eyes on the red

reptile it's the only place in the world where the komodo dragon is found in the wild. for conservationist that's too many people they say mass tourism interferes with the dragons natural habitat and it increases the very real risk of poaching. police in east java fault an attempt to smuggle $41.00 komodo dragons earlier this year. at last it's about conservation so that the habitat of the komodo dragon will return to water. conservation and dance is our goal lassie 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 . the local government says the temporary closure of the island would be an opportunity to plant more trees and

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 elicits for their livelihood but indonesia's authorities are clear cut major island needs a break from humans. and then in tennis as often adults momentum continued to build ahead of the u.s. open as he cruised to victory at the rogers cup in montreal the spawn is in action for the 1st time since losing to georgia phèdre in last month's wimbledon final and he easily dispatch a good appeal washington up 6364 to advance to the quarterfinals madonna has won this tournament 4 times and now faces it to these fabio fognini. coming up next on news asia india's find this in the in the hills a new era for the region off the coast trailing its autonomy but as eases its go
