solitary and brutal russians flooding the clocks 28 years in office so what's behind a script. i'm phil gayle welcome to the program italy's far right league party has announced that it will call for a vote of no confidence in its own government party leader. who's also one of the country's deputy prime minister has announced that political differences with populist coalition partners the 5 star movement could not be mended at least prime minister who's a member of neither party has accused mr selvi of fabricating a potentially destabilizing crisis. this is not an election rally but it looks like mathias salvini is already gearing up for a vote your 5 children i do my job with my heart with with pride if i can do it
9:02 pm
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 paper. 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 recep ican take 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 a political crisis where now other institutional figures will have to step in.
9:03 pm
to the authorities on the country it will be asked to 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 scumming let's go have him but conti has agreed to convene parliament for a vote of confidence in the government with as far south in its coalition partners fellow deputy prime minister luigi to maya from the 5 star movement says they want to do the job of government then go to the electorate. make them or not all are going to end their time in government with some good work which can be done by senators and deputies voting to count their numbers and saving italians 500000000 euros then everyone can go to the polls. the coalition has only been in existence
9:04 pm
for 14 months in that time so he needs league penalty has doubled in popularity close watches of italian politics will be wondering if that has moved to do with the timing of his demands than any internal bickering was going on and let's bring in t.w. journalist julia. wrote for mobile come to hear it's being said that mattel salvini has manufactured this political crisis because he thinks he could win an election without these 5 star coalition partners a could well he's popular already has been increasing over the last year especially since the elections in march of 28 teams recent polls put him at 37 percent that's a 20 percent increase compared to last year and it is quite astounding that has allowed him to have free reign within the government and the 5 star movement in the meantime has fallen back the same amount 20 percent to 30 days so it is looking
9:05 pm
likely that he might win it an election if it were to take place so he calls for a vote of no confidence in his own government that what happens because there it's hard to tell if this is a crisis or just how italy does politics. well sometimes actually there's politics does take place in a constant crisis situation but it does look like that elections will happen a government reshuffle does not seem to be on the table on monday we will have a clearer idea of when the vote of no confidence might happen then depending on that results in a lease president of the republic will likely call for elections that might happen between near to end of october time so this happens on monday as far as i'm a i'm aware that the telling parliament is on recess is that right exactly so italian parliament terence has been called back to convene and have to vote on this
9:06 pm
vote of no confidence and said he has actually pointed out how. parliamentarians should start coming back to work as there are things that need to be done instead of lounging in their vacations so matthew salbi let's presume then that this is about him wanting to become prime minister what does he want that he can't achieve within this coalition. there have been many problems with the with between the 2 coalition partners. starting from the beginning they've had to agree on a coalition contract to try to govern together one important point of mattel says the news program was themis flat tax so trying to learn the tax. system so that taxes would be on the same level and reduce for everybody the firestarter movement has never really been in favor of that so that is one of the mean program
9:07 pm
points that somebody wants to bring forward to joining us are that we can run thank you. oh take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world renewed fighting between government forces and separatists in yemen has continued into a 3rd day killing moving 20 people including civilians which really round back truthy yemen's government has claimed tens of thousands of lives since 2050. calls chief executive carried herself a continuing protest against a controversial extradition bill hurting the territories economy more than the sars outbreak pro-democracy activists started another weekend of protest by staging a sit in at the airport and plan to be there for 3 days. according to a former nuclear plant to be the river right in the west of germany has been demolished and we are to fuse from 30 years of germany plans to abandon nuclear power by 2022 because of safety concerns compounded by the fukushima disaster back
9:08 pm
in 21. now around $450.00 student activists from the fridays for future movement of and it's a 5 day summit in switzerland by unanimously adopting what they've called the climate declaration of luzon the announcement comes just hundreds of thousands of students skipped classes to join fridays for future protests in both $120.00 countries around the world of the global movement was inspired by 16 year old environmental campaign the gratitude of art in sweden. so let's get more on that declaration from one of the movement's organizers here in sofia lehmann welcome to day w. so this declaration is was well basically what it is if it's a representation of our realize ation as a global movement of students that this is a problem affecting everybody across the world and not just people within germany or within sweden and i think about the really big important step for us to take
9:09 pm
because there are a lot of countries right now where politics are not reflecting the ideals on the demand that we're putting forth the students. one wonders why it takes you 53 days or 5 days what was to come up with this read there's nothing it doesn't sound like there's anything in there that we didn't already know yeah i guess that's true but i think that there's a big difference between knowing it and saying it and i think that's part of our job especially as young people you may say you may know these facts already the science has not been is not been created in the last few years we know these things free for decades but the difference is that we as students are coming together internationally to say that this is something that we are scared about this something we are frightened for and this is something that we will continue to fight for as a group together so the main points of this declaration of what the main points are 1st and foremost holding the 1.5 global warming goal in our in our in our view. fizzes going to be very important to minimize the effects of climate change
9:10 pm
and we know this with the scientifically proven and another commitment that we want to make is that we as young people are going to use our voices in politics to continue to fight for climate justice which i think is also really important thing to just have written down and have stated collectively she would look at this is a 450 have you have travelled to switzerland from all over europe to tell us what we already knew how does that benefit us i think it gives people courage i think that it gives people hope i think that it gives us an inside view into what other countries are doing i feel that that's very important as well if you will from this what what is the inside view that i believe that the biggest thing we've learned is there are many different political actions being taken around the world but there are the same fears in every state and i think you didn't know that before well i think it's different to hear it from the people you're sitting with at one table to hear you know hey i may be sitting half
9:11 pm
a world away but i'm also afraid for my future and i think that that is the basis of this feature as a movement how do people get to this. all over europe. well a lot of us took trains and some of us flew with some of the flu how do we feel about we feel conflicted. we definitely would never advocate as climate activists is this is this is this is this not all you know it not part of the problem if by fly you to by sliding across europe to get together to say things that you already knew to produce something the changes nothing how does that benefit the planet i don't think it changes nothing i really don't believe that because i think that we have an immense power as a group and i think that standing together and sitting together at this table and discussing these things. this makes us make us feel like the problem is being addressed we're saying that you're not being at home we're not sitting at home and
9:12 pm
thinking hey i'm scared about my future we're going to all you know of all you know like the very politicians the you don't like for having done nothing because that's what they will do they fly all over the world to sit down and talk about it and they already know you'll get your just the next generation of the same problem i don't know i don't think i can say that because i feel that what we're doing is we're turning our actions into where we're turning our words and actions and i think what actions well striking every friday has definitely helped us with the vote in the in the spring we definitely saw an increase here in berlin both for the green party but i think that the fridays for movement. movement not existed that the e.u. parliament would have voted a different way i do think that i think that pride is the future has brought this issue to a lot of dinner tables where politics wouldn't normally get to we are going through the students through the children through the grandchildren if you're talking about politics if you see it on television if you hear it in the news maybe you don't feel it affects you if your child is telling you hey you know what about climate
9:13 pm
change and you're sitting there as a parent or as a grandparent i think it hits you in a different way and i think that's our job is to work on the social aspect you know we can't make policies ourselves. but we can be the voices that advocate for policy change and so what do you do when you if you don't mind me saying this in this report and i say when you grow up when you when you finish the news coverage when you finish school nothing is changed so what do you do that you go on to go to work or you go and continue this sort of. i think there's a lot of ways to combine the 2 i think i'm going to be studying geography i think that there is a lot of possibility to enter the job market and be a person who's saying hey i'm going to find work where i feel like i'm pushing for these values and pushing for this work we can go into politics we can also work as activists to make pressure from the streets there's a lot of different ways that we can still use our voices probably even more so as grown ups and arguably the most important way is by voting so now which you will thank you so many commemoratives a circular thank you thank you. climate change has certainly been affecting the
9:14 pm
europe this summer with 2 heat waves in quick succession sweeping across much of the continent rising sea levels another symptom of climate change and some coastal regions are in danger of being inundated on the western side of britain the small welsh village of is preparing for just such a possibility. i mike throssell has the sea right on his doorstep he's a dedicated angler who's lived on the coast of wales for over 40 years i right now the irish sea is bright and shiny but the people here have seen their share of storm surges i my house stands right behind this dike it's held firm against wind and tide so far. it's hard to realize that i was rising sea levels always could be gone.
9:15 pm
they say in as little as 50 years i it's hard to believe i said born is a seaside village of about a 1000 people and say the experts doomed by climate change several 1000000 pounds have gone into building dams and dikes to protect the houses from the sea. but now the welsh authorities are throwing in the towel and calling on the villages to find new homes. when measuring the sea levels in the area across the north wales coast i'm way off finding evidence the sea levels are rising is that reality and so before and a catastrophe happens before anything big happens we really really need to be making sure that people are aware of those risks and that we're talking to them and involving them in the solutions. but what solutions can there possibly be mike and his partner see their lives their home and lots of money at stake quite amazing how
9:16 pm
the situation where it's not a symbol for them as pensioners to buy a new house elsewhere they feel the state has left them on their own 25 years in the future the fact is that they have no answers for us they can't tell us where to go to move us they can't tell us when they're going to move us there's no. financial support no compensation tool and the sting in the tail to that if the insists that everybody moves out. they would expect michael knight pay for the demolishment art his thoughts. it's true that they're born won't be the only town to face imminent danger in coming years. over 30 communities and way of dealing with erosion and flooding from rising seas. and infrastructure such as rail and power lines and roads are also at risk climate experts say it's a massive financial time bomb for britain's coasts. the residents of fairborn

falling oil prices of squeeze the russian economy relations with the united states and donald trump are also tense both sides recently walked away from a key nuclear missile treaty raising fears of a new arms race opposition to putin however is growing because of his or thora tarion repression of political opponent. still he has solid support. then you there's never been a tradition in russia to keep up the power voluntarily 1st several hundreds of years ours ruled until this year so the traditions are. new. and since we have jobs going to freeze on the rise the army. which i quite like i think the stability is a good thing as of today i don't see if it replacement for.
9:19 pm
well let me or putin was largely unknown when he became prime minister 20 years ago today in fact so much so that when he became president just a few months later one famous one journalist american journalist famously asked who is mr putin now he has always represented stability he was very much in contrast to boris yeltsin yeltsin his predecessor as president who was kind of known as a bit of a drunk putin represented a fresh face he didn't drink he represented stability particularly because he came to power just after the ninety's which was a decade of huge social upheaval and economic chaos here in russia just after the fall of the soviet union it's a decade that many here in russia still see as traumatic and vladimir putin was
9:20 pm
aided kind of in his 1st few years in office by rising oil prices which brought a broader economic an economic up upswing of sorts but that really still that sense that he has raised russia from his knees as many people say here in russia repeatedly about him that really is still at the core of his popularity today i'm a showman moscow like many other cities in europe lin's local government is struggling with skyrocketing brunson the shortage of housing it's introduced a 5 year rent freeze but many people renting apartments to continue to be worried about being priced out of their neighborhoods. has been meeting with a group of tenants facing the future. this is style spec of plots in the fleetly signed neighborhood of east berlin alexander pushkin like this historic area the same area where his grandmother lived. from the shops this is my home

9:22 pm
a big heart. the sack ok we want to find someone who says i just don't want the renters to have to move to the suburbs as is so often the case someone who wants to give berliners a chance to continue living here is a moment i have here past yet that's not so easy most investors are looking to maximize their profits when buying an apartment in berlin. expires a study with real estate prices are rising so buyers have to pay a high price for these apartments to get a return on their investment they have to charge more rent or some decide to use the apartments themselves because that's the best option from a financial point of view. this has resulted in the rents doubling over the past few years and berlin foreign investors have played a role in this but the short housing supply and large demand has helped push up the prices. alexander pushed and his neighbors are hoping an investor will come to
