no. the news rich week for russia with a new prime minister and constitutional reform proposed by president bush and changes if approved would best parliament with greater power get there depicted as a put in power play by many western media outlets. berlin confirms that donald trump threatened tariffs on e.u. carmakers if it didn't move away from the iran's nuclear deal germany the u.k. and france this week triggered the deals dispute resolution mechanism which could lead to the agreements collapse. and a criminal investigation is opened in the u.k. police after an independent report reveals that years of ignoring sexual exploitation of children and social care.

this is the weekly here on r.t. international law come to our roundup of the headlines that shape the week. russia got a new prime minister this week after the previous cabinet stepped down resignation fall president putin's proposal to change the country's constitution but what if you could leave but it shouldn't 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 effectiveness 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. takes a look at the proposed reforms and the reaction they've already received from the west. try explain this limp to boom 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 to 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 for any aside he is what he actually proposed to guaranteed 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 leads only the state duma is consent to make official appointments the president appoints the cabinet he's deputy and 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 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 the 1st. time when the president limits his old how this is something in the later controlled country is not known at all then the president limits its own power and

once to 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 the state very often it happens that. many media make comments on amendments on noles on projects or reform and constitution we doubt knowing. in details what is the reform or the rules what are the proposals so i would suggest before putting forward so negative

comments to study to understand wild what talking about what is did reform announce it 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 parts of 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 ahead 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. as 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's 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. well you know you. the beginning but after the u.s. withdraw from the j.c. these 3 governments are 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 euro trio of berlin london and paris claim iran's noncompliance with the nuclear deal is forcing them to trigger the dispute mechanism iran now has 30 days to return to compliance failing which it will be swofford to the un security council that could reinstate sanctions and let's take a look at what led to the current crisis the nuclear deal officially called the joint comprehensive plan of action that was signed in 2015 by iran and key world powers their agreement was designed to limit iran's nuclear activities and exchange for the easing of sanctions but washington pulled out in 2018 and swiftly imposed economic penalty as iran then began scaling back its compliance which accelerated after the u.s. assassinated tehran's top general moussavi a professor of political science at the university of tehran believes that when the u.s. withdrew from the deal the e.u. abandoned him around. 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 us secretary of state has doubled down on washington's much criticized assassination of iran's top general custom salmoni earlier this month like on pay or added this is just the start of

a far more aggressive deterrence policy on mentioning russia and china as well kill up 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 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 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 watched russia's 2014 occupation of the crimea china's island building too in the south

china sea and its brazen attempts to coerce american allies undermine to deter this so if the. states dislikes you it can pressure you economically diplomatically isolate you or brutally assassinate hero this is geopolitics in the age of deterrence the 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 a really really mess and i want to. british police new children were suffering the most profound sexual abuse in the northern city of manchester but failed to protect them as according to a new independent report officers in 2004 launched operation augusta to investigate the issue at the proper shutdown and few perpetrators were ever brought to justice . but. but. but. but.

but. but. the official prob was closed due to a lack of resources. and has been opened and the 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 it was a war maggie arbor a former manchester police detective who worked on the operation so there were many more disturbing reasons. the decision to close down operation orchestra 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 there were other 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 job like this and also and there was a focus on what we call acquisitive crime so burglaries. is that for motor vehicle rope or is 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 initial investigation was triggered by the death of victoria 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 50 year old man 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 or tori's grandmother says that since her death she has been battling for justice. she was such a lovely girl she didn't deserve to die i've been fighting all my life for this she told me herself while these men had done to her the authorities knew that many victims were being subjected to the most profound abuse and exploitation but did not protect him 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 victims adding that officers will do everything to get justice for the children but whistleblower maggie all over again once senior police and other officials themselves to be investigated. this coverup 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 acknowledge that it was pakistani man predominantly who were abusing vulnerable young white children and very young children that became a political hot potato it was often sad that these kids at 11 and 12 were making a lifestyle choice that they were working as prostitutes that they were kids that is never the case that they were vulnerable kids who we have a duty to protect and they all surratt is 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 conflict ahead of an international peace conference details on that after this break. in the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the u.s. and the world. max kaiser and stacy herbert dig into the burning questions of this election cycle oneself every week. checks student debt trade wars corporate money universal basic. and more catch up with what's from drowning this

sunday exclusively on our. wisdom is the application of practical knowledge in a rope or your weight in novel con but if you learn a particular scenario being a class could be a dream and you encounter that exact same scenario knowing what to do is just memory that's not wisdom that's not learning it's just memorizing some wisdom comes when you are facing a brain new context and you can draw upon tools you learned in other contexts systematically to know what to do. welcome back forces loyal to libya's military strongman khalifa haftar have blocked

a truce following that meeting in the russian capital it's understood that those talks with a catalyst for the summit in berlin remember the would be the firing me to do resume each of the region we have been promoting does this. need to mostly as a contribution to the conference of believe if you don't overdramatize the situation this think up of the bust the there will only be you know. a lot of you know the hope is that these talks will bring an end to an increase in violence that's been brewing since the end of 2019 since general hafta announced he has his eyes on the libyan capital tripoli. 0 discomfort the broad and total assault expected by every 3 and. today we're now it's the decisive battle and

advancement towards the heart of the capital said 3 advance now. that saw one of the major regional powers turkey getting directly involved in the conflict and kerr rushed to the rescue of the tripoli government by sending its troops into the country libya there. you mean really for the legitimate government in libya to remain standing and for stability to be established it was you that we are now sending our soldiers jewish company the spice all up painting a relatively gloomy picture of the situation in libya german foreign minister heiko russ is relatively upbeat about getting a result from this summit we've been able to reach agreement so many important points for the future political process in libya the mere fact that we've managed to do this in the prison difficult situation give those grounds to be cautiously optimistic make no mistake though despite that cautious optimism from mr last time is running out to find

a diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflict in libya that's why global heavy hitters are heading here to berlin before they saw it in an attempt to stop us going conflict boiling over into more scenes of our right war in the north african country peter all of our r.t. world. and paris hundreds gathered on saturday for the latest protest against the government's pension reform plans at least 59 people were arrested as the demonstration turned violent. the government has agreed to compromise and drop some of the most controversial aspects of its reforms and a strike by public transport workers is continuing to bring chaos to the french capital with no end to the unrest in sight.

amid the term all members of the paris opera have held another free concert and central paris to express their anger at the pension reforms it's just one of the many unusual approaches by people to show their opposition to go across a charlatan penske report. as the strike continues in fronts we've brought you the congo we've discontentment we've even put you to violet's the other thing that is quite interesting about protests like this all the fine is that really brings the cholera if you just look behind me you can get a sense of just some of these banners that are out today people are spending

tireless hours crating these panels to try and get them for a moment say on t.v. or social networks to try and get their voices of course we're going to speak to the ballot he's got this sad very nice sign by british on slating sirup nice english basically saying not going loves to our professors particularly at the age of $65.00. failed reference to the fact he married his schoolteacher i he's a plan. to be fair to say bunkum. normally teachers retire at 62 like everyone else but if this reform for the past will go up to 64 we've been moving from this man as the we are told the president is a teacher. so just spotted what looks like quite a nice cargo placard here in paris it's a train let's have a chat to the person behind this. expect why.

we have been on strike for 42 days which we really are striking against marcos. michael i think we're witnessing some sort of humorous show here we've got some of the huge looks like the son of margaret thatcher and mr mack all that hair style this is really the art of margaret thatcher particularly with what will look like to be pearls on the is around her. for me no protest in paris is complete intil we have met this gentleman this is baptist and every protest he is out with a new so i mean in this distinctive color in germany 1st. joining the fight for social justice the environment democracy democracy everything is going wrong this is a democratic emergency the politicians are not performing tonight to get help. from

everybody we've spoken to it seems that the reason why people are really keen to get their protest band out here in sharing is to make sure that they seen in the crowds show that you can ski r.t. in paris. lastly some world news in brief police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at protesters in lebanon on friday $100.00 were injured as police broke up the crowd in the capital demonstrators are into a 3rd month a protest demanding economic reform and early elections the prime minister has been . expected to announce a new cabinet on friday but failed to do so. officers have responded with tear gas as a large pro-democracy rally in a central hong kong park spills on to the streets of protesters blocking roads and starting fires a significant armed police presence is visible on sunday as demonstrators defy an official ban on marching through the area hong kong continues to be rocked by violent rallies despite the original reason for their anger and extradition bill

being withdrawn by beijing months ago. and efforts are underway to rescue animals survivors of bushfires that have ravaged south australia's kangaroo island area is home to unique as well as endangered species experts fear that the fires which have already devastated a 3rd of the island may have killed large numbers of animals. that's a recap of just some of the stories that help shape the world these last 7 days thanks for tuning in. what politicians do something. to put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. wanted. to go right to proceed with the white woman for free in the morning can't be good.

i'm interested always in the wives of. course. you know before george soros became vilified as a global market manipulator and electioneering or he wrote a lot of interesting books and of course c.n.n. jim rogers at the quantum fund which was one of the best performing hedge funds ever kind of invented the modern hedge fund and he's got a lot of things to say if you look at his old work and we're going to get into it.
