5:01 am
presidency gang up on donald trump anger this india over the release of a gang rape convict who was a juvenile when the rape was committed three years ago this hour - more than 40 people were missing after a landslide buries buildings at an industrial park in southern china we begin with the landmark elections in spain, which could end its two party system. the newcomers, an anti-austerity party and citizens, a liberal party, are challenging the ruling people party and the socialists who dominated politics for decades. no one party is predicted to win a majority in the polls. david chater joins us from madrid. on the face of it it looks as if the monopoly held in place by the other party is about to go.
5:02 am
>> yes, more than 30 years a duopoly held the center of power in spain. from what we have seen, there seems to be a resurgence from the youth. the people that took the burden of the austerity measure here in spain. remember, unemployment for them is hovering around 50%, national average 20%. they have taken an unfair burden of the cuts, and they want their voice heard. it's coming through on two sides. the prime minister at the moment, holding power. and on the left there's a party led by pablo dabius, with a ponytail, a stud - he's removed. he's charismatic, a university
5:03 am
academic. he's captured the move on the left wing on the antiausterity side of the youth movement. on the other side is the citizens party, taking a lot out of the poor electorate. that is led by a young leader. alberta barer, casting his vote in barcelona. he's created a party in the catalan district, opposing independence movements and is turning it into a national movement. this is pressing on both sides of the people's party, and taking votes away from the socialist workers party. so we do expect a change in critical landscape. a difference to be made. and there'll be a long complex probably set of negotiations, lasting up to two months, to try
5:04 am
to form a coalition government. as to what the state of play is, i cannot say. all opinion polls are banned, five days before they take to the polling booth. looking here at the moment, it's brisk, crowded, and the turn out on the last election under 31%. i suspect it will be higher because of the youth involved. we'll probably see in the mid to high 70s at the very least. that vote by the youth is going to make a huge difference to the political handescape here thank you very much. u.s. foreign policy and national security dominated the third tv debate between the democratic presidential hopefuls, hillary clinton, martin o'mallee laid out their plans, and were united in the contempt for donald trump
5:05 am
republican party hopeful. >> reporter: hundreds stood for the third democratic debate. supporters convinced another democrat in the white house is needed. >> the economy is better, there's better job creation. if you look at the general policies the republicans have been trying to push, especially in the house and the senate through the last several years, we don't want more than that. >> inside the debate candidates worked to convince voters of the same thing. distancing themselves from donald trump, who believes the solution to u.s. security problems is to ban muslims entering the united states. comments third-placed candidate martin o-mallee called... >> billionaires with big mouths. >> we need to make sure the discriminatory messages that trump is sending around the
5:06 am
world do not fall on receptive ears. he is i.s.i.s.'s best recruiter. >> reporter: hillary clinton said ground troops on the ground, leading to an change. >> if the united states does not lead, there's not another leader, there's a vacuum. we have to lead if we are going to be successful senator sanders, a last word. >> the united states must lead bit they are not the policeman of the world and must not be involved in perpetual warfare. >> the debate was not sold on national security, and income in security highlighting a difference between themselves and the front runner. clinton has accepted donations. hillary has not. >> hillary clinton and i have a
5:07 am
prince. c.e.o.s ain't going to like hillary clinton and me. wall street will like me less. despite bernie sanders's strong attack, there's little time to close in on hillary clinton's lead. the first nominating contest will be held in less than two months. at the national polls, hillary clinton leads as much as 30 ahead of her nearest competitor protests in india's capital, new delhi, where the latest convicted rapist is about to be released. he was 17 at the time of the crime, he was given the maximum sentence, much three years. campaigners are trying to get the law changed so longer sentences are imposed on
5:08 am
criminals. take us through why this case is causing so much controversy there? >> well, particularly you are looking at a case that captured the nation and the world in 2012, and in particular given the age of the offender, aged 19 at the time of the crime, and now 21. the question asked is is he able to be released into society and be reintegrated, is society willing to accept him. there's arguments on both sides on why he should or should not be released. on one hand the delhi commissioner said there hasn't been a proper assessment conducted. and during his time in detention, he didn't know remorse, and may be able to reoffend. on the other hand, those following the offender's case and what could happen, they suggest there's a fear for his
5:09 am
listen. given the fear and loathing of the criminal and the case he's connected to. given the crime and what he's connected to, he'll never live a normal life in india. there's concerns of debate and violence. they are some of the big things discussed. >> he was living inside the correctional facility. has he been corrected, has he shown signs of rehabilitation? >> that's a big question. he has served a 3-year sentence, that he was given. way back in the last few years. the big question that the activists and those calling for release, is the call they have is what kind of rehabilitation has he gone through inside the
5:10 am
system and what provisions exist once he is released to make sure he is monitored and his rehabilitation in society continues the way it should, and the way that many people are expected. it's also raising questions about the juvenile justice system, and the amendments to the juvenile justice acknowledgement which is hugely contentious throughout the years, particularly in the last year as the amendments came up. >> the pictures of the demonstrations against him being released, not set free, walking free, that is not what is going to happen. they are pretty compelling. we understand the victim's mother is going to be there. the victim's mother is taking a step of naming her daughter. i suppose it's fair to say that is a measure of how much anger there is, that this mother is crossing a line in a way that's never been crossed before. >> it's certainly the way in
5:11 am
which the mother or the father, the family of the victim, they deserve to be named, she is a person and should be identified as the person whom the crime was committed against. there's anger three years on. we have covered numerous cases of sexual violence and rape. there has been a discussion about how to deal with the group, problems and social. at the patriarchal system. many will tell you three years on little has changed and this case, the potential release of the offender may aggravate very, very inflamed feelings across the country thank you vest. >> there were nationwide protests in the delhi gang rape cases. there has been a 43% increase, mainly attributed to the
5:12 am
willingness of victims to keep out. three times as many rapes are being reported in new delhi compared to the same in 2012. this year an average of six rapes have been reported every day. one woman was raped every 14 minutes. a lawyer at the indian supreme court blames the indian parliament for allowing the raped convict to be released from prison. >> there is no rule, no procedure, no provision under any law as of now which can stop him from being released. having said that, it is really something for me, knowing, it is disturbing and frustrating that the parliament has been - has failed to bring about the amendment in terms of providing harsh parliament to criminals. parents must take it to itself. political parties should rise above their differences, should
5:13 am
come together and act in unison. and without wasting even a single minute. must pass the bill which has been pending for one year. to bring about the amendment in the juvenile justice system, so that such criminals be tried and must be given the proper sentence, not according to their age but the crime they have committed 80 people are missing 24 hours after a ferry went down off the indonesian island of sulo weesy. it was carrying around 120 passengers. we are joined from jakarta. what happened here? . >>. >> the beat was leaving the
