Blast even if youre never watched a single episode youve most likely heard of fit the cult series of Game Of Thrones ended after 8 as the kids but not the core fans are happy with the finale and if you havent seen it yet dont worry no spoilers here. Hello and welcome im a touchy about good to have you with us former can we didnt all do is a lenski has been sworn in as the president of Ukraine Selenski immediately announced he would dissolve parliament and hold a new election in 2 months time he said his 1st Challenge was to end the conflict would russia and the east of the country. I. Think not it is
a lengthy and full list many supporters. To being president elect on his way to being sworn in embracing the enthusiastic crowd. You know variation is a Reality Check for you not long ago played the role of president in a popular t. V. Comedy show. The outsider had been voted in on the promise of change. And the country did not have to wait long for the new president to shake things up i think is of parliament only moments after being sworn in. The great i dissolved of a cover of the 8th convocation. So lets get calls for shop elections which you hope will give a majority in parliament. The president he says backing off the house to tackle ukraines mounting debt flagging economy and to make good on its promise to taco corruption. Another pressing issue is a simmering conflict in the donbass which has claimed 13000 lives to date selenski
has called for a cease fire with russian backed separatists but its not clear if moscow is open to dialogue with the pro western president. So you can count on the support of the people but he also had sort of up to their expectations. It was wonderful to hear simple easy to understand words for ordinary people we hope that everything will be alright the hopes riding on him are Enormous Growth is going to chance. Taking away politicians immunity and fighting corruption those are the 3 main things that need to be done. Let me shift the land looking no no i do so i hope his actions match his words if they do i think ukraine will live in peace and plenty tough challenges lie ahead and the former actor will find its much harder to remain popular as an actual president. And feel more did obviously colony joins
me from the Ukrainian Capital Kiev left the new president did away with some of the formality if you know as we saw in our report a lot of fuss in c. And also say hes going to dissolve parliament how did that go down there. Well i could see a lot of heads being scratched and lots of fairly confounded expressions on the benches of ukraines Parliament Just a couple of meters away from because he made that announcement he really had kept the tension going initially going with all the normal protocol and you have the anthem being sung and the seal of state being handed over lots of pomp and ceremony and then yes he says he would be taking this opportunity to dissolve parliament and then the 2 months that now between todays date and those elections at least if things go to his plan he wants the members of parliament to pass a law stripping themselves of immunity from prosecution not only that he also wants to change the Electoral System and live on t. V. With most of ukraine watching he fired some of the heads of ukraines top security
services the prosecutor general so it really was a morning of great Political Drama and seeing a sign that you know he knows how to play this game having those parliamentary elections is crucial because he doesnt have a party yet he doesnt have that support in parliament if hes really wants translate on those huge expectations that people have on him he will need to have people in parliament and obviously he wants those elections to happen while hes still riding high in the polls as a lens is a political novice and make for many who voted for him that spot of his shot but what is expected to be the focus of his presidency. Well exactly and that was the worry among many observers here that he might be good at campaigning but that he wouldnt be too good at day to day politics its very early now to tell how well hell do based on todays performance hes pretty canny operator he really took that opportunity everyone watching to really put his opponents of an ultimatum put him in
a position they couldnt really get out of in terms of the issues well he really he campaigned on a platform of very sort of Broad Brushstroke Change and you generation and you tone a new approach to Politics Fighting Corruption and allowing ukraine to kind of move forward really this is a country that. Has failed to make good on its huge potential its the 2nd poorest country in europe despite huge resources in terms of the details well theres been a lot of criticism that he hasnt really given us a lot of detail that hes stayed very vague but it seems that isnt hurting him ukrainians are wanting that message of change and for now theyre except in the fact that hes not giving them too much in the way of small print and that ukraine has a troubled relations with rochelle whats the reaction from moscow been to the inauguration of the new president. There was a very very catchy snide response from the kremlin from Vladimir Putins press spokesman saying that. Woods. Congratulate his ukrainian counterpart when
he when he zelinsky had shown that he had brought about improvements in the russian ukrainian relationship and had done taken steps to improve the situation so a very provisional a very big grudging message there from moscow i think in terms of these relations we didnt hear anything direct about russia from zelinsky his speech but he did say that Dont Bason Ending the war the conflict there would be his priority and given that those separatists are backed by russia theres no way around the kremlin i dont think will see zelinsky getting on a plane and trying to talk one to one man to man with putin. Ukraines society off to 5 years of war really wouldnt accept that so theres a pretty narrow path that he can take now without angering all those people who have been at war and who have kept this country going and hell probably be looking to get the west europe in the u. S. On his side to join him theres a geisha with the kremlin and not go there alone and risk as many observers have said being taken of on shore by Vladimir Putin who as we know is a very experienced and very shrewd political operator right and economy in kid

Now which is this to go before the european elections the chancellor of austria struggling to restore stability and thats after he pulled the plug on his governing coalition with the far right Freedom Party which is now in the grip of a Corruption Scandal speaking just a short while ago Sebastien Court said his Conservative Party here not in this case supports a thorough investigation of Bribery Allegations against his Vice Chancellor heinz christiane. Last week a video in most of. Legibly offering Government Contracts in exchange for Campaign Funding he has since attended his resignation. It was this video released by
a german news outlets to speak. To the broadcasters governing coalition to its knees and in a Labyrinth Sting OperationVice Chancellor heinz because general of austrias far right party f p earlier is heard and seen offering Government Contracts to a fake gresson backer in return for Campaign Help while the video was filmed in 2017 it didnt become public until last friday. Resigned in disgrace and chancellors a Bastion Courts responded by calling for early elections but courts question whether the Interior Minister habit kiki also from the far right party should stay on in the meantime kiku would be in charge of investigating this scandal despite being the head of the far right party at the time of the sting the far right party however said their ministers would collectively step down should their Interior Minister be sacked.

of australia chances of boston coats he spoke earlier today what do you make Office Handling of this crisis. This whole saga here in austria seems to be descending and farce of rita because we just saw it suppressed in quotes the Chancellor Step into the president s office practically the 2 offices his and the one of alexander found pundit palin the president just opposite each other talking to him so the press was just standing on him when he came out but then he sort of fled through the Back Entrance without saying another word local interpretation here has it that he has not told the president please kick out kill the contentious Interior Minister but the president is waiting for course to communicate that to the Freedom Party minister and then afterwards theres going to be a statement but weve had these waiting periods several times and nothing happened
so far and who are its really has a hard time throwing the Freedom Party overboard he somehow seems to still be playing tactical games here and that what you bought at the Freedom Party that is a far right party is is in disarray after these revelations and ahead of elections which have been called in the country. Theyre really trying to avoid that impression by all means we saw a Press Conference by their leading people earlier in the day and their closing ranks 1st they said yes sorry that was a mistake but then the former party leader karlheinz traveled the man figuring in the video he had to step down and now we are ready to move on lets continue those successful politics that we had here in austria lets continue with the coalition and they even went on the attack and said if things go wrong now well be used running out of government will be thrown out of government that it will be the fault of the chancellor of course because hes ready to jettison us jefferson us
and to sort of. Look to his party to move further to the middle like and so its there on the attack again because theyre of course fighting to keep their voters on court.
