dismiss the mayor of moscow the decree i signed states that i am just president that i have lost trust in. and it is a legal reason for his dismissal and yes i cannot work in the seychelles i can't trust that was the willing to let you finish the job is the professional relations between the president and most of the midwest and demand subordinate to the president and the other way round with a certain steps should have been taken to return the situation things in mind as we are the bush folks stayed in office as the mayor of moscow for eighteen years that is a tremendous amount of time that is that's why his sacking caused quite a mixed reaction from most whites because many people supported he was called for his policies on pension years so the average level of pensions in moscow is higher than in other russian cities many people said that it was because of you you will scoff about moscow receive a new modern look however there are lots of people who accuse you do what's called

a feeling to solve moscow's traffic problem of failing to protect many buildings which bore off the cultural importance not only to the city of moscow but to before nation and there's also a lot of controversy going on around you of course wife again about good enough to start to be russia's richest wealthiest business woman and many people do say that she managed to be so consul successful because of her husband being the mayor of moscow under the law the united russia party as the majority within the russian parliament now has ten days to submit at least the candidacies to the russian president for the whole of moscow's we are then he will have to choose one of them and submit this tendency to the moscow city parliament he was called also have the right to appeal he said i think for however we haven't heard any reports obvious

intentions to do so here if this can offer porting there and while muscovites are weighing up their mayor sacking former c.b.s. correspondent in moscow jonathan sanders described the ousted chief as a bulldozer. across eighteen years yuri but it was a combination combination of four kinds of per piece though he was really a renaissance prince running a city state he was in american terms a combination of mayor daley and robert moses the great city builder who ruthlessly did things he was a little dictator he was a kind of robin hood he would put his finger on the pulse around the throat of the new landlords the people building buildings making money in moscow and force them to do other things there was a time when you're you're a mikhail each was quite particular popular because he ripped off the rip off artists who are making money on the new bush moscow and did things like build

christ the savior cathedral i think his legacy will be that he's a bulldozer bulldozers get things done but they sometimes are rude and crude if you were to go back and look in the middle of the one nine hundred ninety s. i think a lot of muscovites would say we'll take coffee with all his rough edges because he got a lot done because he did have a populist unfortunately i think many times people are influenced by their spouses . wife elaine and nick alive no but hard charging in the plastics business in the construction business widely said to be in the corruption business and some of that sloshed over and a man who stayed in his job just to. yuri luzhkov will have a mixed legacy but his legacy is evident on the new face of the new moscow. now spain has been gripped by twenty four hour general strike against the government's plans to slash its budget thousands of passengers were left stranded

a disservice by having this artificial currency imposed on it it can only lead to political tensions like in greece where the greece population greek population has to suffer the taxpayers germany has to suffer if they didn't suffer and greece with a bang speaker. rescued so that's to me is a deal that does not quiet equitable luck theo will be processed in its nineteen percent unemployment rates and spain's unions will be out on the streets by saying their government's plans to save fifty billion euros over the next four years by slashing public sector jobs and pensions despite new countries are still striving to join the stone is a sister group that will join in january throwing its economic fortunes in with countries struggling to avoid collapse in may riots in greece resulted in the deaths of three people and while everyone will be hoping nothing like that happens again it's clear that political on rest in europe is far from over. reporting there
