7:40 am
hamas in total fifteen sites were hit in response to three rockets fired from gaza into israel. this was a weird story in the way it was an it journalist worldwide of ranted on ukrainian authorities for faking the assassination of russian opposition journalist our cardi bob genco in kiev a slander stunt as deplorable and regrettable the staged murder of journalists arkady buckton could by the ukrainian security service is distressing well the reappearance of the reporter may be a great relief it is deeply regrettable he crane's authorities have played with the truth no matter what the motive relieved that are currently but junket was alive i deplore the decision to spread false information on the life of a journalist it is the duty of the state to provide correct information to the public. on tuesday ukrainian authorities claim they found the journalist with gunshot wounds outside his flat in the ukrainian capital they said he died of his way to hospital however less than twenty four hours later it was revealed the
7:41 am
murder had been staged ukrainian security forces said it was carried out to fall in a russian plot to kill the journalist on his double quarter reports on the fallout from the blast. when a russian journalist was pronounced murdered in the ukrainian capital it didn't take long for the ceremonial finger pointing at russia to begin he was only working on things that were critical and investigative of russia and of the russian government as well he said there was nothing that was critical of ukrainians of course that network and its boss placing the blame on the kremlin and on russia journalist known political leanings have led some to point the finger in one direction it was a calculated deliberate international terrorist crime committed on the direct instruction of the russian authorities who can blame them when the story has all the perfect ingredients the russian totalitarian machine putin's regime going after the kremlin critic except the guy turned up alive and well a magic in everyone's confusion what on earth is that we want to read all these
7:42 am
developments in just the last hour or so i know absolutely gobsmacked and second so what the heck actually have been here russia said it was relieved that our change was alive but also fiore us and understandably so after being falsely accused of murder questions of life and death in ukraine as well as the international community's trust in its politics are not being more than a bargaining chip for the kids regime to stir up on t.v. russian hysteria fellow journalists were outraged too when a state says a prominent journalist who had received threats was murdered i think the media have to report it but with the fake news in ukraine have reduced all of our credibility trump would be proud had learned not to trust ukrainian authorities on don't best. but assuming something like this official confirmation was solid apologies it's on wikipedia's most notable fake death so what gives all the murder was staged by the
7:43 am
ukrainian secret service to foil an alleged kremlin plot they say they did it secretly not even his wife knew imagine what the poor woman went through but one ukrainian lawmaker thinks this is ok because sherlock holmes successfully used the method of staging his own death to effectively investigate difficult and complicated crimes well if it happened in fiction must be good in real life too whether ukraine will produce evidence that there was ever a russian plot in the first place remains to be seen but after a stunt like this it's hard to imagine many will take anything he says at face value. only when someone manipulates information they can see the road it's clear that it isn't in there and sits across the actions of the ukrainian authorities are absolutely unacceptable and the free media have suffered most from this i can't comment on what it did or didn't do i don't know the exact circumstances do know
7:44 am
that he's participated in a big circus a masquerade which is of course a big problem for him and for the credibility of journalists. responded to one article in the british media that claimed the serb to shoot huge had done more harm than good and he posted a response on his facebook page using offensive language he went on to say if the press wants to do good they should give him a british passport and protection. for thanks for watching out international live from moscow that's a wrap of some of the big news stories and other panned out around us all in the last seven days live from moscow this sunday morning at seven are you saying thanks for watching the international. you know. you never know what's around the
7:45 am
corner you never know what's in the pub you can walk into excitement it's that not knowing that's where the adrenalin much comes from. and you can easily move by definition and the extremes will support. the violence he's a pug and it's almost a schizophrenia. where you can do all these things and behave badly. they're going to be full of all this colorful little wall for the political schools also focus on the last. on this movie and infirmed. role and good on all those in the thoughts. of a broader where no really did a poll down down went up with a good. many reason is that beast if you don't let me involves it's constantly
7:46 am
evolving in the. long. term. parking lot of. part of welcome to all the parts talian politics is once again putting be concept of democratic governance to the task at large implications for the rest of the european union. what do you do one day do you believe to be deeply harmful for your country gain enough support to be implemented do you rely on the old wisdom to suppress the will of the voters or do you make way for your political dream to be dismantled before you are old to discuss that i'm now joined by paul of angry director of the italian institute for international political studies mr migrates
7:47 am
pleasure talking to you thank you very much well let me start with domestic politics the two parties that have. gained the most of the seats in. the march elections have just been prevented from forming the government of their choice because of the president's objections and there are two ways of analyzing that you can say that the president is taking the country's responsibility for the country's future in his own hands at this very pivotal moment or you can interpret it as him being authoritative if suppressing the will of the people. it's a very sensitive issue which is the splitting of the come to some of it's there is no easy answer to your question but i would not the. position of the president of the republic. italian did not leave
7:48 am
or leave. the election. you. mention form of the option what you said worn away by a theme was prominent during the public discussion. in the program of the two parties but the program is. we know the program. i mean mr memory i'm sure you know the president made it very clear that he's objections to the proposed government specifically on. future with the euro zone and i want to ask. him of the no objection. and he did not prevented the formation of the government he did not receive from the two parties. and yet the objection that name
7:49 am
since that first of respect to the congress all due respect to the economy is a very provocative view. in any program for as sensitive as it is do you think such an idea should be put out for a popular vote because i'm pretty sure that there are some people within the italian electorate who thought that they have something in common the economist policy of want to win. the election. but clearly. the public. of the part of the group. and europe again. if there is no such a danger then why do you think mr someone who as you mentioned is
7:50 am
a well established economist his serve for central bank he was a minister of industry before he is not some in a random populace from the street this man knows a thing or two about economics why do you think he was prevented from taking the post of the finance minister even having the. economic vision that he has. because . the one we're discussing given. the pressure. against you in the game and i think. using is moral suasion at the beginning in trying to get. in the league. there are people which are respected which have. transferred to the market and to european politics
7:51 am
very different position now even without mr someone i suppose if you're government had raised many concerns with its promises of tax cuts about its promises off welfare benefits. rein in massive dad there were even some speculation that they were going to lobby for its full cancellation do you still believe it was all about . general economic agenda which is still. someone i'm sorry is the leader. do you think there perhaps have been some more general reluctance to see this government from you know prevent this government from taking the reins of power. the president and government being formed. the election of course. concern. about the fuse ability of the you know the program was a coalition. which means that they have to put together requests from.
7:52 am
which means. the. proposing. to satisfy the people. you have to do both and bulls are really expensive. thirty percent. from what i've read the leaders of both of the five star movement and the leak not particularly deterred by the prospect of fresh elections if there is elections were held do you think the results would have been different. i think. they may. but if you election. clearly. until you rule something needs change goes the italian public opinion is
7:53 am
upset. but i'm not sure the majority would have to risk a venturing into. europe. i think there are also multiple ways and how you can sort of had your bad sound out because some could argue. they tell and voters me grow more resentful if they have to go to the polls again or you can argue that it would give them more time to sort of gather over these populism virus as if it was some kind of chicken pox i wonder how deep rooted do you believe the political mood in italy is is it more fleeting or is it more of a permanent nature. permanent we don't know but for sure. italy is like a fool. who is feeding by the economic problems.
7:54 am
of migration. and the continent which is together with greece paying more respect so. created deep into the public. i'm not sure that. italian voter are presented to alternative to the decision and election result would be. quiet interesting that they are actually out of a cave far far more straightforward articulation of this issue do you have any concerns. and opposite result because many people thought for example that trump could never win the white house because he's ideas. here we are your life and we. have to respect something which.
7:55 am
lets you. two years ago look like. all come to. join the. movement and then we have seen that did not happen in. and. and the leader of the party of freedom in holland drop the strong. and deny you. so. let's see what happens if and when there. is. now i think this. all discussion goes to the very heart of what is meant by the democratic or even the european governments i'm sure you have heard mr. germany should not be in the position of dictating in chile and i'm
7:56 am
sure it's not as complicated or as simple as he said chest but there's still a question of how much divergence and how much autonomy should a chile or any other country be allowed in economic matters when it comes to. general line how much space is there a lot of it i mean. is the value for everybody and the poor them what they have to be when you have one. that. your is limited by definition all unless you call for leaving that whole union all together and starting the new project that's. should be given and should be able to walk the implication is not on the table. at the. table in any democracy but what i'm saying is that. need to be
7:57 am
clearly presented. but never dared to say. come to. well good to know about our own mr munder we have. to be honest with you and to be perfectly straightforward to your i think there is a sense that maybe it's biased at least in this country and. certain ideas are not particularly up for discussion in the european union on certain issues so it is praised much more than an exchange of controversial ideas do you think. on the. effect of democracy in other countries but that's. that's not the issue you are now asking me about and if you say that either the. them across the country i have to say no you don't suggesting any of that i'm
7:58 am
asking you specifically about the limits of democracy and there are certain people who have argued that you know on certain ideas the decision to join the european union has been made and that's over you should not be rediscussed saying that in fact that you can bet if they meet you try to because there is no procedure for leaving you. and you know and you know what i mean. generalized as in many other countries we have been watching at the in the is creating. and so this is one of the told to tell you and french and dutch and german and then. east and when they would. read that to see what they said this is the third time the roof it's nice that italians when they voted two months ago the we have no. that's prince mr margaret let us take a very short break now we will be back in just a few seconds. welcome
7:59 am
8:00 am
well you know the fires they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i've been there in this mall a ball it's next to the hard pool of ships and it's standing. up and. the little self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dots need to fall on the collar and. cons of fifteen scoops seventy five tons true and they do it several times a day with the big fleets now you get an idea of why the ocean which. we have to understand we could not stay still would just. be within this the deal for you. i'm doing this because i want the future world too.
