and america's program with chatham house, the royal institute of international affairs and she joins me live from london. thanks so much for being here. i want to start with that increase to the minimum wage even before the senate parliamentarian ruled against it. some democrats were crafting plans for an alternative. so what do you think happens next for that? what is the most realistic way forward here? >> well, i think that people have anticipated that this would be the sticking point, especially since there's this desire to take it through the budget reconciliation process because it only requires that simple majority. my guess is that it gets pulled from the legislation simply to make it possible to pass it in a timely fashion because it -- as you know, those unemployment benefits rin oun out for so man americans in the middle of march and the number one priority is to get that stimulus into the pockets of people across the country, including the $1400 check. so the democrats in the house have made it pretty clear that even if that minimum wage provision is pulled, they will sti

who's a specialist in constitutional law or the armenian institute of international and security affairs glad to have you on r.t. international tonight can bash me and survive this. first of all of a low good evening. i think that this attempted coup in my opinion it was an attempted cloak. by the military was unsuccessful because it's it was not only unconstitutional but also all. has not any social basis under it 1st of all.

foundation and from moscow nina khrushchev a professor of international affairs at the new school and senior fellow of the world policy institute thank you both for joining me in the arena i want to start with you let's involve me has been the russian president's fiercest challenger for years he's been called the man vladimir putin fears the most putin doesn't even like to say this person's name if you could help it. he had to know when he comes home he's going to be immediately arrested why choose jail over. that was his personal choice i don't think we should now discuss the belittle this choice a lot of people myself included thought that you know it could be probably more effective to stay abroad to know exactly. how to sanctions meet 4 leaders but it was an act of heroism he knew that he would be detained arrested and he was sure you know how many years not months he would spend in prison but he also thought that coming back he would have a much stronger case for for the protesters and he was not wrong. he's a arrest and conviction hundreds of cells russians made to the streets and it was the biggest protest both geographi

the german institute for international and security affairs welcome to the program and thank you for joining us do you see a path out of this political crisis in myanmar. at the moment not really to be honest the coup. has created a new status quo as europe alluded to. the end though the leadership de facto has been detained. this military patrolling this is key areas and key cities at the moment i don't see really a way out i also do not see the military. reacting to international pressure that will come one way or the other the u.n. why the u.s. and other states and organizations are actually i do not see a quick way i don't know why is that i'd like to ask you why you're skeptical about the results that international pressure can have in myanmar because you know over the past years we have seen mixed results from the international community on me on maher there was limited action following the crackdown against the hinge of muslims for example in the country and in 2017 is it just because of a lack of consistency with regard to me on maher or is it something else. well i think it's a lot more not causal in the sense

he is now president of the national democratic institute for international affairs. >> derek mitchellck to the "newshour." why do you think the military launched this coup on this day? >> the reason, the one they're saying, is that they detected electoral fraud that is not being adjudicated properly, and their strange logic is they should take over in order to restore and protect democracy. but, you know, there are a lot of people asking the question, why did they decide now? i think they thought they would do much better. their political party, in the latest election in november, and they didn't do very well, they ver do as well as they expect. the commander in chief had to retire in july at age 65, and he had political aspirations. >> and there are questions about experts i talked about whether the commander in chief was worried personally about his own finances after he stepped down this summer. do you believe that he has considered that when deciding what to do today? >> we can't rule that out. there is no question his family is lucrative in myanmar, and he, himself, has his own p

is political analyst and professor of communication business school and eleanor poly is a political scientist and senior fellow at the institute for international affairs a very warm welcome to you all thank you for joining us here on inside story about to begin with you from india saka one of the challenges that darky faces in attempting to form a national unity government. ah good question i have to say easily of course and it's quite difficult to predict anything here osiris planets and sunspots i decided just to say not to you rick. not as. many you know fish ations world knows or any city so i believe that's for the time being there is a well that. amongst the areas that is to try not to make it doesn't mean that it will have a start he will have a strong support but it means that for example sabinus evening will probably not object to his government that makes things a little bit easier for him at the time thinks what could change is eating of course. what's your take do you think that iraqi will have the numbers i want them to have it he will find the numbers in the end because no one of the parties who are now sitting in parliament wants really

put occult cult analyst and professor of communication at a business school and a put a cool scientist and senior fellow at the institute for international affairs. a warm welcome to you. i'd like to begin with you -- what are the challenges mario draghi faces attempting to form a unity government? >> good question. it's italy and it's difficult to predict anything here as far as politics is concerned, but it is difficult to say no to such a figure who has many appreciations worldwide. i believe that for the time being, there's a will among various parties, but that doesn't mean he will have strong support. it means he will probably not object to the government. that makes things a little easier and things could change this evening, of course. kim: do you think you will have the numbers? >> i think you will find the numbers in the end because no one of the parties now sitting in parliament want to go to elections at the moment. in the end, if he doesn't find the numbers, they will be forced to call for snap elections, but this is what everyone seems to be eager to avoid. there is a bumpy and choppy road ahead for mario draghi because he is an ex

of the federal government but by the library's private support foundation. in our case it's the harry s. truman library institute for national and international affairs. they had to raise the money to do our new exhibit. that takes time, too. you have to have a coherent statement of purpose. you have to get people excited to donate to the project. in our case, the design and the fundraising kind of went hand in hand. it couldn't have been done in any shorter period of time because in addition to the design and so forth you've got to make sure the money is in hand to do it. >> yeah. these things always have i think a longer time frame both for fundraising and creating them than i think people often think. i want to talk about some of the key elements that go into this whole process. one thing right off the bat is understanding your audience and understanding the needs of your audience. in our case, you may have had a similar experience, we recognize that our audience was changing. like you, i'm sure we draw from a local audience. we also have regional audience and people come from across the country and some international visitors. what stood out for us
