in terms of the powers of parliament some debate over whether parliament is actually going to get more powers because of this constitution and should it get more power. apparently it will have because the prime minister will be more dependent on the on the duma saw to a certain extent duma will be a something in teach you more powerful down here and your earlier even if. of course russia still will be a presidential country. which is of course something girling to is the history of russia and if the communists criticize darter taking into account. their former tradition which was the tradition of the. post revolutionary soviets but in the same time soviet union was also a state a very autocratic early governed during the. stalin times when the 3rd sense they are put in a situation quite difficult because to which. tradition of communism they refer but didn't put them in a strange let's say situation so they have to want to fight against a constitution. and in the same time they hold the portrait of stallion and part of the argument of having a new constitution is meeting with the times

as a hostile communist control parliament tried to impeach yeltsin he resorted to the military to keep in power. 187 people were killed that autumn. one of the most important proposals today is to end that hyper presidential system while keeping the fundamentals of the constitution intact so what powers does the president currently have only he alone can nominate the prime minister and other cabinet members parliament just gives a formal green light to the candidates. the proposal would flip that giving parliament the final say on who serves in government and the president would not be able to reject the m.p.'s choices. powers would be redistributed between various branches of government intended to lock in more checks and balances into russia's government system another big change would limit the president's tenure to only 2 terms in total as opposed to no more than 2 terms in a row as it is now. that means future leaders won't be able to serve for as long as putin has but it's not a member which has got western media excited perceive trick to stay in power forever the existing rules

the amendment they have just voted against would have kept the virtual parliament, so the virtual parliamentat has caused no end of controversy because there are some mps who are shielding, not allowed to leave the house asking what are they supposed to do, they can't vote in the next few weeks and potentially the next few weeks and potentially the next few months. mps from different parts of the uk, scotland, wales and northern ireland, are saying they don't want to be a super spreader. if they catch coronavirus in london they don't want to take it back to their constituency so real concern there. at the moment mps are voting again, it is a lengthy process, the first one took around 45 minutes and this might be slightly quicker because i think fewer are voting because i think fewer are voting because they think it is a foregone conclusion this time. this one basically means things go back to normal apart from some mps who have a medical reason who will be able to contribute remotely through zoom over the next few weeks. the parliamentary arrangements we have seen over parliamentary arrangem

send a- we need to strong message from the european parliament. this is about the need to stand up against racism and also police forces. this multicolored movement has led to many young people having hope for the future. i would like to express my and ration for other police officials who do their job. being a police officer is not a job, it is a vocation. history, we are not going to rewrite it. we can not also have shame. that shame is evident when we think about the concentration camps of the second world war and should be equally self-evident when talking about boats filled with slaves. proud of the values underpinning this european union and the rules we give ourselves today to improve the future but we have to respond on a daily basis, give ourselves the possibility of having a policy that will provide everybody the same opportunities. that is the only way of eradicating racism. thank you. >> thank you. >> i can't breathe. these were the words of george floyd which he tried to say during a very long agony. out were not just a shout of that

to allow catholics to sit in that parliament. they were very well to do merchants but required a certain amount of keeping your head down, not attracting negative attention from authorities and playing the game successfully and that's what collin's family did. they were not the only ones who achieved that kind of status, able to hang on to some of their wealth and their lands and their privileges as part of the catholic majority which otherwise suffered badly during the course of the 18th century. so, most irish people, if you ask an irish person, give me a significant event in the 18th century. i would say hardly a single irish person will name an event in the first 80 years of that century. not that nothing happened. but there's no memory of anything significant in that period. we're seen as kind of the low point for irish identity, if you like. the first thing they might mention if they were reasonably well informed was 1782. 1782 was what? six years after the american revolution. the american declaration of independence. what

and the poles parliament approves changes to the country's map to include areas under indian control. so then far rights protesters in london have been involved in clashes with police these are live pictures right now above london hundreds of people have been gathering near the house of the parliament despite police warnings to stay at home early we're looking at scuffles in london's trafalgar square as fireworks were set off and bottles were thrown at leaders of far right groups say they intend to protect statues and one humans from anti racism demonstrators who are also marching in the city speak to across want to join how who's just the other side of the river thames from westminster genocide to. what's the latest from your point of view. all well i think this is a very fluid situation for the police and for protesters here in central london in westminster across the river over their parliament square and just up whitehall trafalgar square the 2 focus is now of on going protests and rolling clashes between right wing protesters and the police it all began 3 or 4 hours ago in parlia

they gathered around parliament square.houting england, some chanting the national anthem, some saying all lives matter. there has been some violent missiles thrown at police officers who are out in advance. this is bbc news. let us bring you some more events today. the queen's official birthday has been marked with a ceremony at windsor castle this morning. it took place instead of the annual trooping the colour parade, due to the coronavirus lockdown. it is only the second time in her majesty's 68—year reign that the parade in london has not gone ahead. instead, windsor castle hosted a ceremony with a small number of welsh guardsmen and military musicians. social distancing rules were in place for those who were marching. i can now speak to angela levin who's a royal commentator. amazing images, but not what we are used to. not at all. but i found it very comforting. i was riveted to see how they manage to keep the 2.2 metres social distancing of the time, how they did new matches, a feathered one where they walked from a

or with parliament. is this ring a bell for anybody? i think it's john wilts. there's a freedom of the press conversation happening in london and in parliament at the time. there are really incredible conversations about liberty with john lock and things like that. if you come and visit me in the revolution museum in new york town, virginia. we have this really gorgeous silver spoons and it's called pick sure back spoons. the back of these spoons have this engraving, that say i love liberty and it's over a picture of the bird fleeing an open cage. the story that we tell with the spoons in the galleries, you think these are made in 1774 1775. no they're not they're made in london in 1770. it goes to show you the ideals, and the conversations of liberty, what it means to have freedom. and what those freedoms are. that is something happening on both sides of the atlantic. i think it is more interesting, to say why didn't it happen in and around london. it's just a thought. >> another question why did it hap

we saw some in parliament square and we re saw some in parliament square and were facing a lot of hostility. what we have not seen is clashes between the two groups. it was clashes with the police. thanks very much indeed forjoining us. home secretary responds to bbc footage of clashes outside downing street. "throughly unacceptable thuggery. any perpetrators of violence or vandalism should expect to face the full force of the law. violence towards our police officers will not be tolerated. coronavirus remains a threat to us all. go home to stop the spread of this virus and save lives." the mayor of london has said this is totally u na cce pta ble, we the mayor of london has said this is totally unacceptable, we will not tolerate attacks on our police and they will feel the full force of the love. it is clear far right groups are causing violence and disorder in central london. i urge people to stay away. we also know the black lives matter group who gathered in hyde park have urged their supporters to disperse and leave the area. obviously nobody wants any violence to escalate and the poli
