people who oppose us our who have tried and continued to try to stop us from coming to power somebody and to prevent a government committed to change from succeeding, offering precisely the criminal political clause, the which is imbedded in the political system, you see i need suggestions of the state we are located. i mean those of them that still remain have realized the victory given to us by the people of quite tomato. and what is a mandate for a future free of corruption? which implies that the end of a business model based on corruption, the has a right to see what's going to. yeah. well let's go straight over to our latin america correspondent, nicole res, who's in guatemala city. following the story, nicole, we've seen pictures of clashes between protesters and the police in front of the congress in guatemala. so it's clear that tensions are pretty high right now. can you tell us a little bit more about what's actually going on,

where you are as well head out this morning and this afternoon has been pretty much a roller coaster ride with lots of delays coming from congress. actually protest those have gathered in the center of the city or in the center around the congress early, already to celebrate this integration day. and a less of the mood obviously has a turned and due to the latest given by congress that have been some classes that we hear heard about here because we're at the cultural center. well, actually the integration should be taking place at some point. and we have on verified videos that show also the use of a gas. so we're on show at the moment, if this continues, i've been told that it's coming down because congress apparently is moving on. the problem was that not only and moving in to send me of the party of out a little was suspended. there were also problems with the credentials that outgoing

congressmen should be giving today to the new congressman. this is the unusual procedure here, and also they hadn't announced and elected a president of congress yet because there was a struggle between the outgoing party and the new commerce. but it seems that someone coming out already going forward. the commission of equitation said congress has now finished finished its work, so may be in the few hours in the evening today, available will actually be invested and then will be the next president of this country. yeah, exactly. so that was going to be my next question. about congress at moving forward . i mean, do you actually think the area below is going to be sworn in today? and if not, what else can we expect to see happen now? or at the moment everybody is waiting here, as you can also see behind me in the front past hour. many people have arrived that

will take part in this ceremony and we're expecting him actually to arrive at some point. we don't have any confirmation about that. as though, because as things happened developing throughout the day, anything can really happened and change from one moment to the other. and then was actually also fear of many who support. i believe i know that in the last minute there will be some intent to throw this whole ceremony over and to put an interim president instead of him at the moment. still, we are optimistic that we will have a ceremony with out of the, of our little sewage. okay, so let's say that does happen. what are the most urgent issues or able to needs tackle now for guatemala, looking forward? well, the 1st thing that would be valuable uh told me that he wants to do because we interviewed him yesterday is to ask for the resignation of the general attorney consuela ford of us. it's one of the people who has been involved in trying to

topple over his presidency by trying to in know the results of the elections. so he says that's the 1st action that he wants to take, call her into his office and then say that she should resign the other very urgent issues. here is corruption. this is the biggest topic moving around, everybody talks about as everybody wants this to be a am tackled at a little will probably announce measures very soon, one of them being maybe a cabinet that takes care of anti corruption. and also maybe then the persecution of these people involved in corruption, so they can not take public office anymore. and this is, i think, what the political establishment here fears most, because this would be then the end of that curious. yeah. in guatemala. the ws nicole was in guatemala. thank you so much i i will be following that story for you as it unfolds. that's all from us for now.
