hello there i'm julie mcdonald this is the news hour live from london coming up sebastian curse is said to become the world's youngest leader promising a new style of politics in austria. mogadishu and mourning the death toll after a massive bomb attack in somalia is reported to have risen above two hundred. kenyans opposition leaders stages a mass rally urging his supporters to boycott the presidential election plus. i'm just not in california in a moment i'll explain why the government is looking at smacking something mine size into something that size to save the earth. in sport roger federer gets the better of a fish rival rafa nadal federer repeating no doubt for the fourth time issued so we make sure you can match just.

a very warm welcome to the news hour of serious swung to the right in its general election voting in thirty one year old conservative leader sebastian curtis with almost all will not counted chris's right wing people's party's won thirty one point seven percent chancellor christian kerns social democrat great into second place on twenty six point nine percent that's now really ahead of heinz christian strokes far right freedom party on twenty six percent but stark may end up forming a coalition with courses still some of us on the bike talking tough immigration well the leader of the conservative people's party says he plans to talk to all parties and hanumant. let us not celebrate this as a victory over others this is not a day to triumph over others this is the day when the women and men of austria put their confidence and trust in us for a dialogue of respect with each other

a culture of respect for one another. well the leader of the far right freedom party says the results show that australians want change. because it's up to our lawyers to see it's the movies because i'm sure at first this is important to wait for the official results and not to start speculating about coalitions but one thing i can tell you the freedom party remains true to themselves and to austrians and therefore it is crucial to introduce the direct democracy of switzerland here that david chase here has more now from the end. and in fact big victory for sebastien kurds and the movement that he essentially created he broke up the coalition back in may and he formed a party in his own image. thirty one many people didn't believe he had the experience all the time in politics to engineer this victory but he did do it by stealing the clothes of the extreme right party the hard right party and that has

been very worrying to many a political analyst say believed that perhaps the high tide of the populace right wing movements the turbulence in europe had been over but then we saw what had happened in the bundestag the hard right guard in for the first time and the hard right once again looked like here they're coming back into a coalition with the kurds his party will know about that coalition over the next few days and sebastian curse of stopping called on by the president to try and form a government there are one hundred eighty three seats in the national parliament here in vienna and no one party has enough votes for an absolute majority so those coalition talks will continue and it's expected that this will be just like the whole debate during the course of this election the center right and the hard drive that will coalesce into the new party the new face the new politics of austria

well for more on the austrian election the apoel trial got in the studio not his political analyst at the open you were at. the program allowed to see your a few of the results. well there certainly didn't come as a surprise to too many predictions we had an election both came true first of all the people's party led by the young sebastian course came in first with a clear majority and certainly the far right freedom party also the very strong showing not being second but third directly behind us of the democrats what kind of coalition are really i know there are several potentials but what do you think is going to happen this very difficult to say no because so far none of the parties leaders have given any indication of what they actually want as a coalition afterwords. most people expect the far right coalition to be much between the people's party and the freedom party which is likely as a vast overlap on issues particularly on immigration it might also have to look at

in another coalition of the conservatives with the social democrats or even a coalition between social democrats and of our freedom party the move that we've seen to wards the right has that kind of incremental moves you know over months years perhaps and i guess it never is a move that we've seen in other countries as well it certainly has developed over time particularly since the refugee crisis in twenty fifteen. in the time between that and today the freedom party in the polls was first for a while the other parties particularly conservatives but also social democrats to adapt to our own agenda in rhetorics to move to right themselves and i was in electoral terms overall the share of votes going to party us on the right of the center increased by more than twelve percent compared to twenty thirteen so this clearly present what is this idea and we've seen in other countries where we've seen it even around here in the u.k. where there is not just an immigration feeling but there's also an empty

globalization feeling you know there is a for to be to be smaller and then words letting would you say there is something similar going on here too definitely particularly if you look at the forward freedom party you see a party on the one hand is against the whole globalization in terms of limiting immigration keeping austria austrian culturally traditional but the same time also economically has a gender of protectionism was what is the small man going to you pensions in your wages etc. the man himself thirty one years old what kind of personality did to cultivate throughout the election and what do you expect that he will you know bring into the job should it come to pass. to portray himself as someone who can deliver change which is kind of odd if you look at the fact that his party govern for the last ten years and that he was for most of the last four years still gives himself the least history of the party colors years compared with change the need

for change was true and so that's his main agenda what he wants to portray bringing change slimming down the state lowering taxes but also clinton legal immigration so that's what he promised or do you like to see if you and serve in government will be talking again in another few years we can discuss whether he managed it leopold thanks very much but. now a massive bomb attack in the center of somalia's capital on saturday is now reported to have killed more than two hundred people hundreds of people have been protesting on the streets of mogadishu voicing their anger at what happened it was the most powerful bomb blast to ever hit the city which suffers regular attacks a residential district was also hit by a smaller car bomb somalia's declared three days of national mourning well it's still not clear who carried out the bombing a senior al shabaab members denied responsibility catherine so reports now from neighboring nairobi in neighboring kenya. when people in somalia's capital

mogadishu are trying to come to terms with one of the worst car bomb attacks ever a truck bomb exploded outside a hotel at an intersection lined with government offices restaurants and shops hours later a second blast struck another business district in the city most of the buildings in those areas have been destroyed still being pulled out of the rubble president mohammed up to life from a jew visited the scene his government has declared three days of mourning and you know the. target of these terrorist is not government officials but civilians as you see here there are no government buildings only civilians who are going about their daily life we have to come together and fight these monsters until we eradicate them from our country and speaking to our jazeera the united nations deputy special envoy to somalia say despite such attacks the security situation around the country has improved a great efforts have been made by the government to particularly secure the city

but also other areas in in the country but nevertheless when one is desperate enough to get through these kind of things do happen and we've seen it yet again into mali and fortunately doctors are doing their best with limited resources to deal with the many people who have the injured dozens are in critical condition several have lost limbs so. what happened yesterday was incredible i have never seen such a thing before and the death toll is uncountable corpses were burned and no one could recognize them. attacks on soft targets like markets and restaurants have become common in somalia says this one apart is just how large it was and the devastation it has caused right now people are in shock hospital supplies like blood are i didn't need it many are wondering how someone was able to drive a year called power. to the explosives into the heart of the city cathy zoi all

and she have returned see reports several members of the trumpet ministration have appeared on u.s. television on sunday to defend the white house's position on the iranian nuclear deal. u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley brushed off european criticism of the trumpet ministrations unilateral approach to what is a multilateral nuclear deal with iran specifically the german foreign minister is warning that should the u.s. withdraw the danger of war would return iran is not right now saying death to germany they're saying death to america and when you look at the ballistic missile testing when you look at all that they're done with arms sales and things like that they are not proportionate to what the concessions that we gave she also addressed reports of divisions in the trumpet ministration on iran notably between herself and secretary of state rex tillerson some have even suggested haley could soon replace tillerson that's so dramatic that that's so ridiculous no i think what you

have is sometimes secretary tell us and i have different opinions but when we come into the n.s.a. everybody has different opinions also doing the rounds of the u.s. and they talk shows the israeli prime minister if they want to save the deal then the european allies should start working with their the united states to actually correct its deficiencies and there are many they have to they're very clear and they have to be changed and it's an opportunity that president trump has created for them to fix this very bad deal i'm donald trump's national security adviser argued the president's position was already having an effect in europe they already are revisiting the terms of the deal on the implementation of the deal and our european allies the three they're called france germany and the u.k. are supporting much more rigorous enforcement of the j c.p.o. and monitoring however it was iran's foreign minister also interviewed on u.s. network t.v. whose position seemed closer to the other signatories to the deal except the u.s.

this is not a bilateral treaty between you know on monday night. you know the united states is a permanent member of the security council and if it's not going to oppose a resolution that now. but you keep on hearing then the credibility of the institution that the united states considers to be very important would be actually it will now be up to the u.s. congress to bounce with the reef called domestic politicking u.s. is international strategic interest she abrahams the old user a washington israeli army has confirmed that at least two rockets were fired from egypt's sinai peninsula towards the region near gaza on sunday a cold red missile warning was sounded after the rockets were detected that the army reported that the missile apparently exploded in gaza airspace and investigations been started by israeli authorities but it's not known in the summer if there are any casualties staying in sinai and the egyptian army says it's foiled

commission demanding its reform very very we have already said that we will not go for election if thieves are in charge we want to go for election on a level field we will brutal with foreigners we will remove all the tree stumps will remove all the stones we will cover all the holes and we will enter that failed and see each other man to man. the commission says it will go ahead with presidential elections in ten days that's despite a dinger withdrawing he says the rerun will not be free and fair after claiming the august vote which he lost was rigged with a nod. on a fishing expeditions where we put a down a document which was a good basis for carrying out this that the sessions were called the mighty disavowal minimum and the commission didn't even attempt to respond to the demands of the supreme court and now the results of that election last month saying

they were neither transparent no verifiable with so much uncertainty already clouding the upcoming vote kenyans are waiting for president to sign the amended election laws and those nos would allow kenyatta to be named the winner after his withdrawal but it's not clear if indeed these laws would apply to this month's rerun by the way people here are saying as long as a thing as not taking part they won't be any election. one and several opposition protests have so far turned violent with looting and police using tear gas to disperse protesters police are accused of killing at least three demonstrators meanwhile kenyatta is campaigning across the country he says the election should go ahead and expects his governing jubilee party. to get more than the fifty four percent of votes it got in august but there's still uncertainty about exactly who will take part after a court ruled more candidates can't participate the rest of the presidential

candidates don't have the kind of support that very low has and it really doesn't participate that means half of the country is not going to participate in them actions and that would put us in a very difficult situation because. the jubilee government can continue and then half of the country would still be rolling. the political battle looks it to continue on kenyan streets and even the courts under the dingo not adhering to commission requirements to properly withdraw from the election many kenyans watching say anything is possible for me to al-jazeera. liberia is heading for a run a full in the presidential election former footballer george will and vice president joseph. who progress to the second round after both failed to win more than half of the vote with almost all the votes counted we had to thirty nine percent with book life and twenty nine point one percent there is economies growing rapidly in the last decade but many complain of poor public services and corruption

these hit the earth about every hundred to two hundred years. so flip a coin that's the odds that somewhere on earth during your lifetime it's going to happen again nasa even has a department called planetary defense no really that's its name and the agency tracks asteroids larger than a kilometer across those big enough to end human civilization now the agency has greenlit the next phase of the dart project which will try to push a nearby asteroid called did it most be off course the asteroid they were talking about is about the same size as the ship you see behind me just shy of two hundred meters long and i am roughly the same size as the projectile they're going to smack into it now in this context that seems ridiculous right i mean for me to just kick as hard as i can is going to have no effect at all on this ship but in the vast openness of space and the slippery in this of a vacuum smacking me into the bad at something like three times the speed of

a bullet well you get the effect you want basically it would be using a spacecraft to ram the incoming object and change its orbit so it would not hit. so this would be kind of a dress rehearsal for a first show we hope never to stage the test will take place in twenty twenty two here's hoping we won't need to knock anything off course in the mean time take aboard al-jazeera san francisco. still to come on the. ball in the general elections which could hand the opposition another victory over president. a surprise first round victory for former prime minister presidential contests and in sport the squawks double act making history the u.s. open.

house to flee once more and a huge sea of police officers from all over the state basically came in with their bills horns mandatory evacuation leave immediately amidst the devastation one family unexpectedly found life if you can maybe. the weaver family's house was destroyed but their dog izzy somehow survived and harmed after running away as the flames approached it was one of the greatest moments of my life it was elation we came off here on the corner and we can expect to see here we are just there to video the house from my parents and see what we can find and. praying that she might be there she came bounding out of this race tears and officials say firefighters are making good progress in containing some of the sixteen separate fires burning in the area aircraft have dropped nearly eight million liters of fire retardant on the flames there is rain in the forecast for later in the week which

east of the capital caracas. we're here in a polling station in baghdad if you're following neighborhood of about two million people seven thousand of them i'm expecting to come here to vote with been told that turnout has been pretty low here compared to previous elections where you could see long lines of people coming here and this mostly affects the opposition because many are different chanted after months and months of violent protests that they were not able to achieve what they were expecting which was presidential elections and national presidential elections when it's well known for have been struggling with a deep political and economic crisis with shortages of forms of medicines i'm on the other things. i'm a single mother i have three children and my daughter can't find work we have to find a solution and will need to find a solution to venezuela's problems in the last election that happened here in venezuela last july smartmatic the company in charge of the electronic voting

system denounced that the turnout had been manipulated by the government but the opposition is from vince the baby able to control this because they fully quoted the previous election and their money tours were not press and well that's not the situation this sunday their monitors from the opposition press and in this voting center and that's what makes a big big difference this election for the government is a way of seeing whether their support base continued to be strong since they were charges took office the governorship where the bastions of chevy's most of the socialist party and if they lose in some crucial areas this will certainly show that the economic crisis has in a way affected the popularity of the president and off the party for the opposition however this is a way of showing that their strength on the streets during the protests is also happening in the violence and it's definitely a preview for the presidential elections that could happen next year. catalonia as president has less than twenty four hours to say whether or not he'll declare

independence following the controversial session referendum at the start of the month if call is proved long says yes spain's prime minister may take the unprecedented step of moving the region's political autonomy sonia daigle reports. facing up to the biggest challenge of his political career all eyes are on catalonia as president catalyst bleijie want a man who could be about to declare europe's newest state here remembering the life of the last man who declared an independent cattle and republic. in one thousand nine hundred forty this was with former castle and president louis combines was executed by firing squad for a belling against the military rule of general francisco franco with only hours to go until this to please you want to accept or defy is the order from madrid to end his drive for secession he gave no clue as to his intention.

on behalf of the government and myself i want to reiterate our commitment to peace civility serenity and also from this our democracy as the inspiration for the decisions we have to make. on the eve of the day when mr pritchard want is expected to confirm or deny his declaration of independence his presence here at memorial ceremony for a hero of catalan independence is not going unnoticed and many here are drawing parallels with that situation. there has been much emotion stoked here in the past few weeks but the attempt to frame this as a story of oppression of a wealthy region by the central government is not convincing the european union despite the violent crackdown by madrid on any attempt to push ahead with self-determination if the spanish government try. to catalonia army i'm convinced that the catalan. answer them with a very peaceful. position will never use the balance to defend our arguments.

at all all of. the catalonia of today is different from the embattled place it was during the spanish civil war but for those gathered here the specter of past heroes of the cause is never far away even if catalonia is pro independence politicians step back there's no guarantee that they will pay the price for their part in spain's current constitutional crisis so now you go. south african president jacob zuma is holding talks in democratic republic of congo with his counterpart joseph could be the leaders discussed regional stability in the great lakes countries but in particular the security situation in d.r. congo itself more than a million people have been displaced in the. where several armed groups are waging attacks against state and international institutions welcome with has more now from goma. the security situation here in the democratic republic of congo has
