have been voting in a parliamentary election following a hated campaign dominated by immigration prime minister viktor orban a seeking a third consecutive term that's despite claims of widespread corruption with his government has clashed with the e.u. over us and i am a gratian rhetoric and clampdown on civil society to hall has more from budapest. hungary's election is likely to return viktor orban to a third consecutive term in power his feet as party consistently polls in the lead as much as anything else because of a divided opposition on the left on the far right that has found it impossible to cooperate with each other reducing the chances of a meaningful challenge what will be watched extremely closely however is whether he is able to regain the absolute majority that he's used in the past to alter the constitution to change the media laws the electoral law gradually over time

reducing the boyce's of dissent in the press and in civil society this is a country in which a majority of voters probably don't support the government but probably aren't able to beat it at the ballot box this is a country in which corruption is rife in which public services in health and education are crumbling but in which the public discourse is dominated by stories of fear and hate put out by the state run media to do with refugees to do with george soros the billionaire philanthropist and to do with outside meddling powers it is a system that viktor orban has built he calls it a liberal democracy basically nationalist values over individual freedoms but his critics call it simply authoritarianism. so let's look at the main contenders right now viktor orbán has been in power since two thousand and ten the fifty four year old leader of the fidesz party is a fierce nationalist as critics say he has rigged the electoral system and reduce

the power of the press to his nearest rival as a leader of the party. the thirty nine year old has tried to make the former far right party more moderate and has tapped into anger against government corruption socialist party leader gay cortana started as a green party member and has been criticised for changing allegiance tracking child hunger is his top priority and peter marcus a has come from relative obscurity after defying the polls to hand over his party a huge loss in the oral election join this via skype from budapest is well shoe. he is an analyst at the political capital institute is a political thing tank in hungary we appreciate your time very much of the prime minister. has an anti immigration stance why has that resonated with people. what's your mom from an injured hungry has been doing again claiming great campaign doesn't being the year when hungary was. strongly by migrants and refugees coming.

on the door only thing but the card migration being the only thing this is big for the future of europe or hungary i don't think that it resonates with the electorate hungary specially where the scientists preach homogeneous and don't have direct experience from other codgers groups or with refugees in mind. for once and for trade refugees and migrants. who are. fine many people by action. has clamped down on on the press and civil society how how will that affect the election today . because the governing party has been building since two thousand and eight precincts al gore in a little graphic states meaning that system of checks and balances. of independence

institutions and independent directors such as independent media and fans of the organization. targets mountfield and are increasingly by the by the government by. the road traffic measured by financial matters are measured by your measure the election which is hungry for reelection in the desert and everyone has the right. action. conference treated by not a bad reaction in terms of the system the election system is very much favor. so they direction that hungry seems to be gelling that these elections seem to be going how might that affect the country's relationship with the. you know that all your action will strongly that really you know recent years. confronting the european union and major about actually one of. your

unit cred secretly times with the leaders of the european union. and before about gains again and then joined in the parliament and european union them exact that the you know all the contacts that actually continue in one ok thank you so much for joining us we appreciate it. and you don't still ahead on al-jazeera the state of emergency in gaza where the hospital struggling to treat hundreds of people injured in protests last. i just don't understand why the law abiding citizens will be punished for the holiday resort that's been called a cesspool now its residents have a new concerns. how

the last few days since some pretty vicious showers in southeast asia and especially be about thailand was hail damaging many houses but more recently it's raining and it's in sudden tolerance from from seventy three min to beaches in twenty four hours the same area that includes probably sumatra will be the wettest area in this part of the world although there is an increase in shower forecast for the philippines which has been actually relatively dry leons been fairly dry in the last couple of weeks to be honest and of course throughout born year and some places further south there are still occasional showers not as frequent as they were. the story in australia is no longer one of particularly wet weather there's not a lot of cloud of violence you can see it's more a case of nice but of late summer warms i know we're well beyond some and i but the temperatures are on their way out from the forecast for adelaide is thirty two degrees melbourne is twenty three but the warmth has come down across the heart of australia this red plume here is pushing down towards a.c.t as well the

temperatures like to hit the thirty bark here as well so a real bit of late heat pianist probably record breaking can't say the same for new zealand the prospects of weather in new zealand are rather more in the way of wintry weather certainly unpleasant. we're heading to the place some deep in the true remember zone it's taken us two days this boat just to get there from the search current dangerous macaws looks at what is being done to protect one of the region's most iconic creatures cars are disappearing because the legal pad trained with the main researchers say wanted to see if reintroduction of narcotics was a viable option to save some of these population pretty good you know techno on al-jazeera and.

there in terms of rescuers and medical care personnel to get to those who are injured and to get a broader sense of just how many people we're talking about in terms of casualties numbers appear to be again about eighty five people killed more than a thousand injured and the videos that are emerging on social media are simply heart wrenching entire families from babies to children teenagers and grandparents or so it appears dead in their basements. this is one of the things that people who have remained in duma which has seen a steady transfer of evacuations in the coming weeks have been dealing with as they tried to seek shelter in their basements. there are reports that they were suffocated now there is a report duma is one of the last rebel strongholds in eastern damascus it's

hundreds of supporters outside the base of the metal workers union in the city of. a city which is very much his heartland but the crowds will not shoot because it became clear he was going to hand himself in to the police many in brazil also began celebrating they feel that he should should serve the sentence for crimes that they believe he did commit it just sets an example in brazil which is at the moment going through sweeping investigations into corruption right across the political spectrum and into business has now begun that twelve year sentence it feels like the end of an era. doctors in gaza are struggling to treat hundreds of palestinians entered by israeli forces during friday's protests along the israel border hospitals have declared a state of emergency due to a severe shortage of supplies to delamater ports. there isn't an easy atmosphere in the ward the patients are in pain but this is silent worry of those
