Follow live from the Arts International World News Center here in moscow is kevin and we did this half hour update hope you can stay with me too on the news from within russia with the developing story the last couple of hours russia has now gotten a new Prime Minister this thursday after lawmakers approved the shoes to scan to the sea and president putin then signed off on the appointment of. 12 it only took this country what was it slightly more than 24 hours to come from the point when the president proposed to tweak some elements of russias constitution which by the way didnt automatically mean that the cabinet would have to step down to a moving towards the point when the russian state duma approved the name of the countrys new Prime Minister that is mikhail so the result was 383. 00 votes. Favor about 40 abstentions and 0 votes again so this is the kind of backing the and coming Prime Minister is getting which is very important obviously in his position and clearly we were listening to his speech right before the vote which was obviously filled with quite a few promises so here are some of them. Used to produce them i can do it too i like to insure you thats all members of the new government carry personal responsibility for achieving National Goals i know that some talks in this room can even an intensive and i believe its very important that the government feels that it would always be questioned him on it it remains open and constructive critics help us improve and do the members of Parliament Give us regional feedback you know what they think what people talk about how they sense the situations and whether they think that there are changes needed for the past. Just to look at the background of mr mishra stand a little bit i can tell you that he was in charge of the Russian Federal Tax Authority for about a decade he rarely appeared on t. V. So when on wednesday the now former Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev i can tell you that theres really no other way to put it shocked the country shocked the world by saying that his government was stepping down only a few hours after the russian leader delivered his annual state of the nation address pundits were calling out different names and i can tell you that in most cases wasnt even on the list but then again boom the name. Came out of the kremlin so you cant help wondering what are the reasons for this appointment why so much trust well i can tell you that the new Prime Minister while he was working in the federal Tax Authority managed to accomplish a mission that seemed absolutely impossible at one point to get rid of a very painful state of bureaucracy and russias taxes i can tell you that previously to pay taxes or to deal with some problems russians have to stand in line fill out hundreds of papers they say that at this point now it can all be done through smartphones or tablets p. C. s you name it. Well then a matter of minutes and people say that this is really the achievement of me and in fact spoke to our to a few years ago about exactly that about the digital izing the paper work in russia and how its important for the development of the country he was talking about the Younger Generation that will shape the future of the nation its important that the young generation whose form of whose future taxpayers to morrow use the friendly user interface which is suitable for the as we know the research is showing us the young generation now not using p. C. Computers so the mobile phones mobile applications and then social networks so basically we should exit the streets. To com we should come to the such is social networks and make sure that its a friendly interface for them so basically this is the maybe main reason why we collaborate can be the commissioners to make sure that to be servicing kotex peers because between service and confuse call part of the administration servicing part this not only more and more coming clearly there will be something for d the audience outside this country to point out russias new pm is fluent in english that is something that we hadnt seen for a very long while now before the vote in the Upper Chamber of the Russian Parliament began i managed to catch up with some of russias most senior lawmakers and i asked them why they are about to support the candidacy of me. Was thinking about efficiency. If you look at the different ministries in russia the tax collection is one of the best it is all. He knows everything about every payment officially made. Russian. Created the most. Useful usable. Tronic government it has a ph d. In economics he writes books on economics here rates textbooks he teaches that the Financial University in moscow also hears an intellectual. Very more than the intellectual of more than a bureaucrat who can. Have a very systematic view on issues because heres actuals fish elative. Which he got at the university was systems and functional the systems so. I think its a good choice he hears it i think a very quick. Reminder you know which i think its also important for a politician. In developed an efficient tax service one of the most efficient departments in the country hes a strong leader tax Service Management is being done correctly both in terms of leadership im cutting edge technology. But for the 1st time the Prime Minister has proven business capability hes shown that with his work on the tax service and if you polishes all our ministries in the same way it works Bush National income and streamline expenditure he is an engineer awesome you bring strong accurate in the sciences and Innovative Technology ideas politically is neither left nor right as you nor centrist we really have a specialist coming into power of the so this major shakeup in russian politics came after the government resigned on wednesday that was in response to Vladimir Putin suggesting amendments to the constitution effectively diminishing the president s powers while boosting those of parliament. But. The amendment i suggested yesterday do not affect the fundamental basis of the constitution further in russias development as a lot of state the goal is also to enhance the effectiveness of the countrys institutions to strengthen the role of Civil Society and to enable the Political Parties in our regions to make decisions vital to the countrys Development Next our Senior Correspondent were gathered to have explains more about the last move that happened over the last 24 hours and the reaction there everything from the west. Try explaining this led 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 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 theres a real epidemic. Paranoid putin a for any aside he is what he actually proposed to guaranteed that new president ever wields as much power as he did including putin himself hes 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 president ial 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 problem. 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 hes the president needs only the state dumas consent to make official appointments the president appoints the cabinet his deputies and all the ministers i propose shifting this power to the state duma and also the approval of the russian governments chairman and that the german suggestion all the deputy Prime Ministers and federal ministers will have to be appointed by the president with the right to reject any candidates yes this is of course all subject to a popular vote if these passes russia will be a changed country with a very different future russia is changing into a new face of democracy freedom and now this 1st. Time when the president limits his old power and this is something in the later controlled country is not known at all the president limits at all and wants to let the people decide on the new constitution and to pave the way the government handed in its resignation its worth mentioning it wasnt all that popular that failed at a number of fronts and there diff the now caretaker Prime Minister said himself its 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 theres one thing we know about putin its that we dont. You know him he loves to surprise and there was no warning not even rule is that the country was about to be turned on its head we now have a new Prime Minister we heil michoud in an unknown quantity hes 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 hes done too good a job it is now clear putin hangs up the gloves in 2024 he wont run for another term times change so does russia that 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 russias leadership and its quality which is not a separate issue has been one of the most positive aspects of World Governance in the 21st century.
