you're watching the weekly here on our team a recap of the biggest stories from the past 7 days thanks for joining. russia got a new prime minister this week after the previous cabinet stepped down the resignation of all president putin's proposal to change the country's constitution . but. just to do not affect the fundamental basis of the constitution they move through russia's development as a lawful state that's when homes the fixedness of the country's institutions to strengthen the role of civil society and to enable the political parties in the regions to make decisions vital to the country's development. you have take a look at the proposed reforms and the reaction they've already received from the west. try explaining this lead putin and power as the office of president the media

accuses of it seizing more power who control over russia but when putin gives up that power and hands it over at the parliament at his own expense it is also because he seizing more control over russia 1st to discover this syndrome i name it paranoid putin a friend here and there's a real epidemic. paranoid putin a friendly aside he is what he actually proposed to guarantee that no president ever wields as much power as he did including putin himself he's got 4 more years in office.

this is unprecedented in a quarter of a century every constitutional amendment was designed to empower the president for example increase the presidential term from 4 years to 6 years or give the president the power to appoint prosecutors and now he turns it all upside down it used to be that hooten appointed the prime. ministers parliament rubber stamp that

now parliament appoints heads of government and putin rubber stamps it with no power object. according to the constitution of the russian federation the president leaves only the state duma's consent to make official appointments the president appoints the cabinet he's deputy and all the ministers are supposed shifting this power to the duma and also the approval of the russian government chairman and the chairman suggestion all the deputy prime ministers and federal ministers will have to be appointed by the president without the right to reject any candidates so this is of course all subject to a popular vote if these passes russia will be a change country with a very different future russia is changing into a new face of democracy freedom and now the basis of 1st. time when president limits his old howard this is something in the later control the country is not known at all then the president limits its own power and once

you let the people there cite the new constitution many in the west see president putin is a mental power is the one that wants to remain in power for ever and so on and so forth but if you look at the reforms if you look at the proposals i see myself some reasons to find in these proposals some balance of power between the president power and the parliament power i see some ideas leading to a better modernization of this state very often it happens that. many media make comments on amendments on lol song project or reforming constitution we doubt knowing. in details what is the reform or the rules

what are the proposals so i would suggest before putting for sole negative comments to study to understand won't work talking about what is did reform announcement and then maybe we can make some comments now before that to pave the way the government handed in its resignation it's worth mentioning it wasn't all that popular that failed on a number of fronts and their diff the now caretaker prime minister said himself it's time for something new you have all heard the address of the russian president vladimir putin as president he outlined the major priorities of our work for the upcoming year but he also outlined a number of fundamental changes to the constitution of the russian federation these changes when they take place and this will be done after discussions and as was said they will significantly alter a number of past the constitution and change the balance of power if there's one thing we know about putin it's that we don't know him he loves the surprise and

there was no warning not even rumors that the country was about to be turned on its head we now have a new prime minister because i'll miss in an unknown quantity he's largely stayed out of the spotlight for the past decade head in the federal tax agency and i must say he did wonders teaching russians to pay their taxes fact some would argue he's done too good a job it is now clear putin hangs up the gloves in 2024 he will run for another term time change so does russia it is a revolutionary change from this distance i would say that it gives more power to the parliament but it downgrades the importance of the prime ministership of the stability of iraq. leadership quality which is not

a separate issue has been one of the most positive aspects of world governance in the 21st century. berlin has confirmed that donald trump threatened to slap huge tariffs on european carmakers if they didn't move away from the iran nuclear deal this week germany the u.k. and france triggered the deals dispute resolution mechanism which could lead to the agreements collapse iran's supreme leader slammed the 3 european states as u.s. pawns sparking a rebuke from donald trump. i said from the beginning that after the u.s. withdraw from the j.c. these 3 governments were just playing with service and renting a does not trust them and they would carry out anything and they would be of the service of the us it has been cleared up the us born in the true sense of the word the so-called supremely leader of iran who has not been so supreme lately had some nasty things to say about the united states and europe their economy is crashing

and their people are suffering he should be very careful with his words. the trio of berlin london and paris claim iran's noncompliance with the nuclear deal is forcing them to trigger the dispute mechanism it right now has 30 days to return to compliance failing which it will be referred to the un security council that could reinstate sanctions now let's take a look at what led to the current crisis the nuclear deal officially called the joint a comprehensive plan of action it was signed in 2015 by iran and key world powers the agreement was designed to limit to iran's nuclear activities an exchange for the easing of sanctions but washington pulled out in 2018 and swiftly imposed economic penalties iran then began scaling back its compliance which accelerated after the u.s. assassinated tehran's top general must ave professor of political science at the university of tehran believes that when the u.s. withdrew from the deal the abandoned iran. it's very hypocritical for the europeans

to trigger the dispute resolution mechanism now i mean if they were sincerely and truly committed to the deal they should've triggered this dispute resolution mechanism a year and a half ago when the trumpet ministration decided to leave the deal when the u.s. left the deal it was actually the europeans that convinced you want to stay in the deal with the promise that they would shield your own from american sanctions and all those promises turned out to be empty and right now when iran is for its share of the deal its backing away from the deal now they are treating the this so-called dispute resolution mechanism and this has actually brought a lot of anger in a lot of brigit or in this in tehran regarding the europeans meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state has doubled down on washington's much criticized assassination of iran's top general custom salmoni earlier this month by pump

a way to add that this is just the start of a far more aggressive deterrence policy on mentioning both russia and china as well and picks up the 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 mike pompei ohs new favorite word seems to be deterrence reestablishing deterrence real deterrence military deterrence deterrence is hard to establish an easy to lose 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 not just in iran but in other places too where american deterrence was weak we watched 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 deter us so if the . states dislikes you they can pressure you economically diplomatically isolate you or brutally assassinate your own this is geopolitics in the age of deterrence mask is come and ask this idea of supremacy that we we have you know this is you can call it american supremacy that we can do whatever we want and it's up to us to decide who is a threat or not this is it really really disturbing and very dangerous i think and it's not normal here does come an hour to somebody who is running the state department and this is extremely disturbing and i'm very disappointed that damage it can political class is not speaking out against this. crazy idea that we can go ahead and just kill anyone we don't like it doesn't mean people are not

guilty of things but if we take this principle and this. approach to every nationality to every country we are going to have really the mess and our. british police knew children were suffering the most profound sexual abuse in the northern city of manchester but failed to protect them that's according to a new independent report after centered on and for it launched operation against it to investigate the issue but the probe was shut down and few perpetrators were brought to justice.

officially the problem's closed due to lack of resources now a criminal investigation has been opened into potential failures by the police the u.k. independent office for police conduct found that racial tensions were one of the reasons given for stopping operation augusta as well but whistleblower maggy all over a former manchester police detective who also works on the operation says there are many more disturbing reasons. the decision to close down operational cost was driven by the decision of senior officers to remove the resources from the investigation this was because it was a very complex investigation but the work of the factors involved in the decision

to close it down there was definitely an element of concern about the ethnicity of the offenders being pakistani man and the children being very vulnerable white children there was also the resources issue and because it's very labor intensive it takes a lot of time it takes a lot of commitment from an organization to resource a child like this and also and that was a focus on what we call acquisitive crime so burglaries theft from motor vehicle robberies if somebody reported that kind of a crime to the police you would get a 1st class response if you were a child being raped it wasn't being reflected in performance indicators hence the police did not respond mitchell investigation was triggered by the death of victoria go where she was in the care of manchester city council after her mother's death the girl was subjected to sexual assault and injected with heroin by

a 15 year old man the report says that carers knew that abuse was going on but did not act 15 year old victoria died after being administered a heroin overdose grandmother says that since her death she has been battling for the troops. she was such a lovely girl she didn't deserve to die i've been fighting all my life for this she told herself with these men. the authorities knew that many victims were being subjected to the most profound abuse and exploitation but did not protect them from the perpetrators and as a result very few of the relevant perpetrators were brought to justice and neither were their activities disrupted this is a depressingly familiar picture and has been seen in many other towns and cities across the country the chief constable of manchester police has offered his condolences to the victim i think that officers will do everything to get justice for the children it was a bar magnet all over again one senior police and other officials themselves to be

investigated this cover up and that's the only word there is for it was absolutely deliberate this report this review it's an independent 3 view makes it crystal clear that this was a deliberate cover up there was a reluctance to knowledge that it was pakistani men predominantly who were abusing vulnerable young white children and very young children that became a political hot potato it was often said that these kids of 11 and 12 were making a lifestyle choice that they were working as prostitutes that they were care if that is never the case they were vulnerable kids who we had a duty to protect and the orthorexic failed time and time again to do that this is criminal neglect in my opinion it is misconduct in

a public office at the highest level and i want to see accountability criminal charges brought against senior police officers senior social workers and potentially going right up to the government if culpability can be shown there for the neglect of people in public office. still to come libya's rival governments step up their conflicts ahead of an international peace conference details after this break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you the .

does many shifts this chaos for years and years to come sometimes by military means sometimes by political means conferences negotiations economic sanctions you end the crees european union involvement all of this is to keep the country under control so they can rock its national wealth and control its political system and prevent more importantly its population from rising up and making sure that their country is sovereign and independent from foreign influence they change their role it's their assigned roles between different parties in any conflict because for every single libyan party political current to come together in a libyan city not in berlin under these simple vision of the african union because
