deputy of the save zuma the. chairman of the government that got all the ministers . and they had some doctorate in the federal agencies and they just can't have a. residence permit or any other document that would allow with them to leave. another foreign country. this is the idea of governing is in being served and a person could chooses this path to decide for themselves and that they can nag for a future of their lives with russia with its people without any shades of meeting. and even stricter demands be given to the people who want to become a president of the russian federation that come. with. those residents

for more than 25 here is and no for him or is your residence in. any other country and not only for the time of the election but. even the original person's mind. i know that in our society and there are a dog said about. this tape elation that one person can stay as a president for more than 2 terms in a row i don't think it's an important matter but i do agree with the stipulation. was you do you go national this year and i have a right it's sad that our goal is to provide the high standards of live equal opportunities for each person. although where i think county trading in. the national project is going to see all our development by and i am you and the same time you know what kind of problems. in cajun help here and other sectors.

we're going to have to take a gap when the governmental level and the municipal level and. these conclusions as it. has a negative impact on people's. general drive for all the citizens and all the municipalities from the all the regions is being implemented in different waves which is a very good person and there's a direct threat to our society in. unity of the country and the constitution if you believe that principle is solve the unified system on the government has to have at the fact efficient cop ratio between. date and the municipal authorities. and local levels are meant to be expanded and strengthened at the same time. we would. with any situation all over the. social.

responsibility of the state be implemented sold the. people laid the norm about what i see. the city and see where it can be less of the less and then the wage so we have a mold so if these people waited and the constitution. and the constitution should all just get delayed that principle. is. in retirement well for and then just moments of such payments. and for those to be russia the huge country now being a region has its own specific problems specific experience at all must be taking into consideration of course. and i think it is important to the role of the governors in the decision making proses that little federal level in no way in the year in detail. by my own initiative but i want to this day this console

was reached durrant. all of the regions were a good player and it proved its high efficiency its working groups. and the travel awaiting the most important matters that were 600 on the presidential level and so i think the constitution should stipulate what this state is and the role of the state console to. get there but i see it will just as don't know is to believe that when russian society is becoming more obvious to mature more responsible. as the more demanding main political forces of the country. broaches to resolve the. issues that we have our. stance but them but i and at the same time almost all the. represented in the state. when they can we see james and you know that we meet with

their leaders on a regular to save his bed the better less assembly candidate who are responsibility for it forming all big government. actions then i expect that this kind of reaction which was. but i think you will have a chance to applaud a bit more when you will finish what i have to say when i will finish listening to what i have to say for me and they have. there is more responsibility of your support of the government really means that there is more get the story has been civility for the policies there's the government is executing i agree with these phrasing day i agree completely what the we have now according to the 111 article in 112 articles solved the constitution the president is only getting there cordova this is a on not voiding but as a chairman of the government and i cannot predict that he has appointed. used head of the. government and his deputy and all the ministers want to change.

things and believe it's very expensive believe it was not only up to jefferson but also be giving their riders straight standing they had. and offered that old the vice prime minister is sand the federal minister is going to be appointed by a yes and the president must join them to be off this so let president who can have the right to decline candidates that were suggested by the parliament. have. all these in itself is a serious change to the political as you see it stand but i would like to reiterate that keeping in mind what maturity or political. power of the all day but our civic society i think the suggestion is going to start justified it will increase

their all of that moral and roll all deceit they do moderate all parties in this and their responsibility all the chairman of the government and all of the members shall be audited it's going to make more provocative between the executive thing administrative branch itself stage which and that i would like to emphasize that all of. that are a concrete way listen to bass and very. complicated. and. historical traditions which can develop and can tell when it sees as a parliamentary repopulate. a strong presidential repopulate the. president will maintain the right to define their goals and the priority is for the government as well as the right to remove the chairman altogether for a man in his deputies and the federal minister they don't do their job properly or

they lose the president and rise to putting the president also directly with the armed forces and go in short and agencies but even in this case you might think. it's important to make one more establish to provide a better balance between the branches of state so. in that you know there are 2 boys meant they had. put away the military edge into the president they will do offer it consulting with their ration council i think this approach will make the worry called. low important agencies and bands edge into this but into. the more transparent. principle of their consulting the federal council it can also be done examples also with prosecutors in their regions where. the most of your colleagues in the practice. current system could lead to some

responsibility is death in front of the local government and there risking. their own number look at what you can still see if their judgment because. when the federal council it could be used at the body at that point prosecutors and we can't have any kind of local justice in the regions. so you prosecutor is the only when using something that is coming from the highest level of government in all matters me what a difference that regions have google sloan and the prosecutor in august independence from the local authority is. going to make things better the poorest citizens in to show lads have very interests in mind 1st of all incredible for a people's spinal in number 7 i think you can roll through the protection the rise and freedom so for a country have the justice system is

a supreme court. record and so he judges should be not only professionally they should have the trust issue and you know how to get more of the right to make decisions about the destinies of the people it was some of the. the most important thing is in russia. there's judges. only answer to the county and the federal laws and the context. of your and he. can still to. leave but it arises from the judges as they are doing something that would seem dangerous but there are real people in and in other cases people late and unconstitutional laws that. should have final say the ballots so i am suggesting that. on the current practice that they have because that's something you are missing at the moment. with the.

local legislation to protect the foreign citizens and i want to strengthen the role of constitutional authority to use the power by request of the president. to bring it to. you but you should check a bill that was crisp on to the contributions the floor of the earth signed by the presidential weekend think about extending its authority in not only. laws to respond. to some other regulation of the nation and federal level but you're a colleague so i would like to emphasize that the suggestion that you have been they do not limit their discussion regarding that just means to the constitution i am sure. that party is send a region in the sand the legal community will express their opinion that you see it isn't a selfish onto going express their opinion and we need a public discussion on the wider scale but starting to discussion i would like to

give it a certain direction because that at least showing me what kind of challenges we face as a board to us when we can't forget that decision with what happened with our country after 9. solution of the soviet union we still have the same ambitions. and there is still enormous potential human resources intellectual resources historical resources and so on and so forth but there is some threats to threats which are. such scale. as you know one is that has ever even thought before and which is updated should have been. time to develop the county. we have quite contradictory to the goal of. that it. might seem incompatible with. which that we

create. strong. and absolutely. 0 until it's independence and sovereignty and at the same time this system that would stay if we accept that the adjustable and. keeping of consideration of what is happening around the counts 3 and see how the russian society is changing the system that would provide the. changes to those who are holding. high authorities position it is necessary for the evolution of the society and for the stable development one that maintains to remain strong the interests of russia. and what else is in jordan and i would like to have the risk or it had adjustments that they will have to disk as they don't concern the fundamental basis of the

constitution and they could be. proved by the parliament according. to current law by adoption of the. constitution. adjustments and this innovation say in the current political. system i think. we should have a falling. among the people of the country regarding the whole package of their amendments to their constitution. and only operate these kind of we can my final decision that being in a bowl of power as citizens. as the main storage for all that power it must be definite usually. because after all it's up to the people to decide now and in the future and that choice of the strategy that developed then and now for a date with you mattered sanabria down. the strong successful.

russia can be building only by respecting their pain and i'll get people to vote so the day here in 2020 is largely. very important so the russia facing breakthrough. question achieve these goals shall be personal matters working together jointly we're going to change life for a better i'm saying this working together because russia is i mean you do not judge those who are here in the audience but i mean all the citizens so far account. believe that success is defined by our. creation to the developmental to achieve being and making. as much your most interesting plans and working for the future of their families and working for the future and the

greatness of russia and dignity of that city so i think you are.

well that wraps up president putin federal assembly address 22 and 2 you going soon of course to go who's in that audience watching very closely to give us some more analysis and update not so much focus this year on foreign policy matters as the makes a change from last year lots of focus though on the domestic economy on social issues on the importance of supporting families through russia's demographic difficulties the importance of having a digital transformation investing in high tech and artificial intelligence increasing public sector salaries and life expectancy as well lot of expectation out of speculation about the constitution of the russian federation would there be any changes announced would there be any sort of grand reviews there where the president said that the constitution from 25 years ago is solid that it serves its purpose however there may be some amendments that would be worth making interesting

also on the government president putin calling for a better balance of power between the executive and the presidential office calling for parliament to have the authority not only to approve the president's choice of ministers but to appoint the. selves as well and whilst retaining the presidential power to remove the prime minister and ministers should they be proven ineffective also of course 75 years since the victory in world war 2 mentioning the importance of what he described as protecting the truth in that victory challenging lies and creating a an archive of photos or videos on the 2nd world war to be accessible to all to well to get a picture of what happened all those years ago and preserve that memory. we are going to go very shortly to our correspondent. in just a few moments time as you said to bring you that analysis.

still lots of lots of updates coming for you as we said demographic issue was a big big question addressed by mr putin the importance of addressing russia's demographic crisis of supporting families with children increasing benefits increasing social services to increase the. rather to to improve the democratic situation by 2026 improving and extending the maternity capital that's something many people were interested in hearing certainly here in russia extending that program from 2021 until 2026 as well this is what was the to say regarding that demographic question. can you recall. on how many people will have in our country i would like to start the sport with the demographics depend on how many children will be born in russian families any

here in the 5 year is in town here which you mcgrath takes. you new version or agency of state solution of every step we made law we adopt. programmatically ever waited through should all from the point of view of the higher priority. keeping at multiplying the population of russia. well the demographic issue was of course a central one addressed by mr putin the russian economy as well of course its g.d.p. growth rate prediction has been cut this year there was a lot of focus on supporting domestic production domestic business that includes both corporations companies and small business as well ensuring an increase in nursery places in college places investing in health care as well you mentioned that the russian life expectancy has exceeded 73 years for the 1st time since

russian independence you said that it's creased by 8 years since 2000 when he came to power but a priority of the government very much was ensuring that health care was adequate and was widespread especially in rural areas and. filling up places for doctors for emergency services of primary health care was a protein by 2024 and that grants help would be increased to ensure that could be the case a big focus on internet is one of those little technology stating that the government should push for free access to domestic internet for everybody by 2021 making sure that russia leads the way in high tech artificial intelligence and internet as well. more emphasis once again on domestic issues like streamlining the taxation system the legal framework to ensure that businesses can be free to operate to provide employment to people foreign policy as you mentioned before not

so much a focus this year one thing interesting was the putin did say it was saying that international law must rush the russian constitution rather is a priority over international law he stated that russia is not a threat to anyone who doesn't seek to impose its will or dictate anything that russia does seek dialogue but that russian independence and russian sovereignty was something key and something that needs to be ensured now regarding the russian constitution as you mentioned a few moments ago a lot of speculation regarding that mr putin did say that the current constitution is solid and that any amendments must come from the russian people he said that the power of the russian people. is anything is the main driving factor behind the path of development of the country and that any changes to laws any changes to the constitution must be done in consultation with that. we will be going as

we've said to he was there listening to this speech as well i believe we can go to him in just a few moments time a lot of focus on domestic issues like a mentioned hardly anything mention about foreign policy of course a lot a lot to do with demographic crisis with the economy what can we go garner from from this year's speech. again well this speech has just wrapped up behind the massive crowds of all kinds of russian officials that were all 'd present that we're all listening to the messages from vladimir putin and i do have to say that we have one of the reasons for breaking. i should say because quite surprisingly the russian president proposed some changes to the russian constitution that isn't something that's too that we hear from the russian president especially during such speeches speeches quite often well 1st of all

you see what mr putin house proposed it is expanding with powers 2 of the russian foreign money for example they do from now on in washington peace will approve the kind of the season you know of the russian capital ministers including the prime minister himself and the president will not be able to say you notice that well it used to be the other way around when it comes to other proposed changes to the constitution is further on mr putin also said that tougher rules should be applied for all future presidential candidates in russia so one of the requirement is that the candidate should have lived in russia for at least 25 years and more over there's a ban on having the citizenship of other countries and also even

a residency permit so this is something very important as well but daniel like you said he did bring up an international issues as well although this time this wasn't the main focus just before this. address began i was telling you about how in the previous years in 28 saying in 29 tinct a lot of our show tonight was actually you know revealing some of the capabilities that the russian next generation highly advanced weaponry is supposed to have while at this time mr putin only said that everything that was planned for $22019.00 in terms of the development. this weaponry at has been complete and mr putin even said that russia is since now a country that has to do any catching up its rather some of the russian competitors on a global sea that should do the catching up and besides this mr putin went on to say

that despite the fact that russia does possess these technological capabilities at this point russia is not trying to threaten anyone it's only doing that in response to some of the actions that are being undertaken by other major powers including the u.s. including the administration of donald trump here in washington mr putin also pointed out that he told the 5 nuclear powers that are as the permanent members of the u.n. security council bear a massive responsibility in terms of she's going to be this climate stable now what was very important during this speech by the russian president was that for the forest for 30 or 45 minutes or so a step initially by steps he just focused on the economy in terms

of fixing it was clear many things that many issues that these poor layers of the russian society are facing and demographics as well education medicine and i do have to say that mr hu will of course a whole lot of pressure on the russian government ministers as well because he promised that a lot of the sums from the russian budget should now be always hated to young families and. to families that have just sent their children to school the question is for instance after going through a very difficult pension reform well where will the government get that money so hopefully i will be able to talk to some of the russian officials right here. live on r t 2 ask them these questions because we are definitely curious to see how they see the new proposed reforms for the constitution and also where that budget money it will come from what i do have to point out though is that all the proposed changes

to the main russian legislation that is the constitution will have to be approved by the nation all together so perhaps we are to expect some kind of referendum for now that's just a proposal by the president yet it still makes it very important obviously and yes certain important time in russia domestic politics interesting to see what sort of people there are going to make of the speech as well what they're going to make care of those proposals and what i'd like to see we're going to have you know we're going to let you go and talk to some of those guests and get back to you but later on thanks for that update. now in other headlines the u.s. secretary of state has again been justifying washington's assassination of a top iranian general and a drone strike at the start of the year and a thinly veiled warning he also said russia and china could be next in what's being called the terrence policy. picks up a story. in u.s. foreign policy buzz words are everything administrations love to have

a single term they can use in order to explain their international actions so let's review some of the greatest hits showing to be ready for preemptive action a reset in relations between the united states and russia might bomb peo seems to be rolling out a new one when defending the actions of the white house in dealing with international adversaries of the united states might pompei ohs new favorite word seems to be deterrence reestablishing deterrence real deterrence military deterrence deterrence is hard to establish an easy to loose so according to the white house and its surrogates the killing of top iranian general qassam solomonic was necessary as part of this deterrence strategy but want to lay this out in context of what we've been trying to do there's a bigger strategy a strategy to this we have reestablished deterrence but we know it's not everlasting that risk remains we are determined not to lose that deterrence but the

iraqi prime minister has a different version of events according to the iraqi prime minister soleimani was on a diplomatic mission he was trying to make peace when he was ruthlessly cut down furthermore reports seem to indicate that somani was not the only official to be targeted reports now show that a different iranian general was also in their sights but the strike was unsuccessful so who else could now be on the list as the united states claims it has the right to assassinate top iranian general extrajudicial lee and explain later well mike pompei o has thrown not only iran but also russia and china into the mix we saw not just in iran but in other places too where american deterrence was weak we watch russia's 2014 occupation of the crimea china's island building too in the south china sea and it's brazen attempts to coerce american allies undermine to deterrence so if the united states dislikes you it can pressure you economically

diplomatically isolate you or brutally assassinate you this is jill.
