8:07 pm
the widow of kremlin critic, i'll explain of all me who died in a siberian prison. earlier this year, several 1000 people joined the rally, calling for an end to the warren ukraine and an end to vladimir putin. this rule in russia to send the goal now which is held snap elections after the president dissolved parliament, hoping to sweep through ambitious reforms present bussey rules on my 5 scene here, casting his ballad earlier today is hoping for a legislative majority. in march, he became africa as the youngest elected leader running on an anti establishment platform which appealed to synagogues, large population of young voters. but the opposition led parliament has hampered his government's efforts to implement its reports. leading finds it as all parliament in september and called snap elections as soon as the constitution allowed him to do so. or for more, i'm joined in the studio by mama duty,
8:08 pm
although he is a teaching fellow and p h. the candidate at columbia university. welcome. i'm going to great to have you at the w. so this is a legislative election, but as we've explained, it really is being seen as an attempt for the president to actually be able to push through his promised reforms and to get a mandate from the people to do so. will he succeed, given the way the campaign has unfolded and the co trajectory of the past f over the last 10 years and the past f is the president's political party. i think that darrell high chances that they will have a comfortable majority at the sending of these parties and, and the question is how broad the majority will be. well, senegal is facing a variety of challenges. one very crucial challenge is the spiral cooling fiscal crisis. the deficit it was a much larger than was thought to be the case. what kind of an impact is this
8:09 pm
having on the citizens? i think what is really singular in the moment that we are living is not so much the fiscal crisis. because seneca has only been wired in all kinds of deficits, quite the budgetary or of the balance as of payment and so on. but the fact that the current government has decided to be transparent about public accounts. both these are the defending of these public and its international partners. so it is the fact that the government decided to be open uh, transparent about uh, the lack of transparency of previous reviews that as in use the current moment as to the difficulties of the population. i think salaries are being paid to civil servants up to now the government is not defaulting on any of its obligations. and what some of these people are mostly facing and it's been going on for a couple of years, has been the installation. so you mention the salaries are still being paid,
8:10 pm
but the government has been promising that it would boost the economy. it would create jobs. how are they likely to to do this? i think uh they have been, rather despite the cold to transform the economy, they didn't notice that the same time they have announced the plan for 2015. and the idea is to raise the a g d p per capita from 1600 u. s. d. uh that it is now to 4600 usd by 2050, which is quite modest. synagogue has just started while exploitation and natural gas production we presume soon. so one can expect a groove to happen, but which will be really challenging. who's changing the structure of the,
8:11 pm
of the economy, from an economy that is dominated by the service sector to one where there is actual transformation of rule materials in the industry and so on. what about the regional implications of this election? what kind of an impact is it likely to have? i think it is very important because a bus, what do i say? came to power under folders of a and then to the sticky, young and popular elect rate and signing of these democracy and institutions allowed. uh for the now except for that political sensibility in a region where military cool has happened repeatedly over the last years. the success of this regime of this mandate will send a message for the region as to whether liberal democracy can be a vehicle for the kind of changes that the you for the region are expecting to
8:12 pm
happen. well, in the run up the, to the presidential election that took place in march, there was some very serious violence. are people worried that there might be similar levels of unrest now, i don't think so. i was just speaking to my father a few hours ago. he went and voted that he always do. everything was quiet. i think political violence incentive go. usually it doesn't go beyond or doesn't affect those that are not directly involved into party politics. what happened these last years was actually the exception and violence was grateful to an ethics that is absolutely not customary in san diego. well, let's all hope that it stays as quiet as your family has described. mamma, do d o a pleasure to speak to you. thank you so much for all of your insights. thank you for having me as well here in germany, the green party has nominated economic affairs minister robert how back to be their

disappointing ones. recently, and 3 state elections with a collapse of the government in which he has a minister of a topic now finds himself as the face of a fairly rough campaign with elections as scheduled to happen, likely at the end of february, instead of as planned in september of 2025. now little the topic is the chancellor candidates of the greens. but that doesn't mean that he is likely to become chancellor. usually pass falls. so the leader of the party that comes in 1st in the elections. but looking at current polls, the greens are far from that pulling at only 11 percent. but how they can deliver is a sufficient amount of votes to allow the greens to join a coalition government starting from a strong position. and according to what we hear here, the party congress and these buttons with the greens really want is to stay in government. and that's the latest on the w news. this our up next. how are it's became a money spinner in the netherlands some 400 years ago. stay tuned for our
