down we held the view on the stand and make sense of it. iraq council some results from the first elections it's held since the defeat of eiffel. and i'm not seeing division with al-jazeera life and also coming up political deadlock in one of europe's biggest economies italy's prime minister designate says new possibilities of a match which could end the stalemate plus. the. explosions and gunfire in a high security zone in the afghan capital also. among the darker on the west coast of florida work babcock brunch something that's turning into one of the biggest

solar powered cities in the world. the first iraq's electoral commission says it's canceling the results for more than a thousand polling stations used in this month's parliamentary vote it says it has evidence of fraud of voting centers both inside iraq and for some of those who voted abroad now many are concerned that this could impact the final result meanwhile the shia cleric. and his block a continuing to negotiate in order to form a new government charles stratford has more from the iraqi capital baghdad. the announcement by iraq's independent election commission for the cancellation of votes in certain predominantly sunni muslim areas of northern iraq and outside iraq a number of countries were rocky's living abroad voted comes amid mounting pressure

by a group of parliamentarians calling today for the complete cancellation and recount of votes right the way across the country twenty eight members of parliament saying that they want all votes recounted manually and they want this to be supervised by the iraqi judiciary and the u.n. mission here now it's too early to say just how this crisis will pan out after what can only be described as. a safe and secure and relatively incident free election earlier this month prime minister hydro a body yesterday saying that he was warning of a political vacuum if indeed this crisis isn't sorted out before the thirtieth of june where the current government constitutionally has to end our bodies saying that if this crisis goes on then it will jeopardize the forming of a new government in iraq now italy's prime minister designate says new possibilities of a match which could help him form a government carlos quarterly

a former i.m.f. official had been named by the president but he's now putting on hold the formation of a technocratic government meanwhile the two populous part is that one the most seats in the recent election every new deference to form a ruling coalition both the five star movement and the far left league oppose the appointment of mr carter dolly let's go live to rome our correspondent then the team barber said mr carr so they really seeming to have an idea that might help italy at least get some sort of government in place. that's right martine although it is rather confusing as to where these talks have been going on what is the informal talks between mr quarterly and the president's. mystical to release on to raj being quoted in the local press here is saying that they are waiting because there is a possibility of

a political government being formed what does that mean it means one that made up of the five star movement and the league the so-called populist coalition who were all set last week to form a government until sunday when president. vetoed in effect their choice of economy minister but which be behind the scenes there's talk that those two parties are now perhaps looking at an alternative candidate for economy minister seeing if they can actually thrush together a cabinet that will get through that won't be vetoed by the president the their choice who was vetoed was a known euro skeptic and the president said that his his appointment would have both scared the international markets and hits the financial interests of ordinary italian families but of course there's been unrest on the financial markets since sunday since that happens because we don't know exactly where we're going in terms of the makeup of the government and whether or when they'll be fresh elections

indeed italy is used to this kind of holds trading and these rather difficult and fragile alliance is constructed it deals with coalition governments on a regular basis and it is this particular scenario different i mean it is three months now since europe's fourth largest economy has been without a government. yeah i mean it's business as usual in some respects. but for the for the nature of the election results in march which delivered a strong message that people wanted change and even though there's no strong majority for leaving the euro currency there are a lot of people unhappy with the way the economy italy's economy has shrunk since the adoption of the single currency and the fact that they have to meet budgetary rules set in brussels and so on and that's certainly something that people are

really talking about here the the democratic debate can you continue to say no you can't have this economy minister no you have to you have to you have to pass our not only our judgment but the judgment of the international financial markets people in brussels like donald tusk the european council boss of made it clear that they don't want to send that message a message to italian voters because that would just boost the popularity of figures and movements which is seen as anti e.u. in some circles and just on wednesday a new public opinion poll published in the press suggests that the year the league party has jumped eight percent to around twenty five percent and the five star movement which did best in march now around thirty two percent so if there was an election tomorrow then there won't be but currently they're in a strong position to say that we have

a greater mandate to demand change within europe so many people those point to the fact that italy needs to pass a budget over the summer there's a big e.u. summit coming up in june in july there's a nato summit so perhaps there will be some kind of consensus to approve for a short term an interim government as long as the powers that be can guarantee those parties new elections in the autumn. ok nadine barber live for us in rome thanks very much now russia has rejected allegations by ukraine that it wouldn't the killing of a russian journalist living in kiev. because a known critic of the kremlin was shot dead in his apartment in the ukrainian capital orry challenge ripples from moscow. janko fled russia fearing that he wasn't safe there he wasn't safe in ukraine either. as a list of a journalist was killed as a result of several shots to his back at least two shots his wife was at home and

heard pops she went out of the bathroom and saw her husband in a pool of blood right after she called an ambulance and unfortunately he died in the ambulance but janko was an outspoken and uncompromising journalist a war correspondent who'd fought as a russian soldier in chechnya and emerged disgusted by conflict. in the empty putin protest movement of two thousand and eleven two thousand and twelve bob janko had tried to walk in eyes a much more forceful campaign of civil disobedience he fled russia early last year after an unsympathetic online post about a russian military air crash in sochi triggered an angry media campaign against him is that friends and colleagues have been speaking of their shock. carty loved freedom very much loved ukraine he planned to stay here and live here he planned to live here with his family he planned to work here it's a tragic loss

a huge loss for international journalism because he is one of the few who want the actual truth about what is doing in russia has a well used playbook for responding to incidents it's likely to be blamed for it calls for an unbiased and independent investigation it says that the incident itself looks like a provocation and it suggests that adversaries will use the incident to attack russia all of these boxes have already been ticked by parts of the russian state. foreign minister sergey lavrov used to going to school the ukrainian prime minister has already said it was russian special services although the investigation hasn't even started this trend set by the authors of such conduct of international affairs is very sad but you can see much of it just picked up especially as our ukrainian neighbors enjoy complete impunity from their western curators and ignored fights from them about how to put their house in order ukraine doesn't have a great record in prosecuting calcutta killings in its territory the death of bella

a highly fortified of building it had just recently been moved to the outskirts of town to allow for more room and to make sure that it could be better protected so very very clearly an audacious attack on a major target here now the taliban launched its spring offensive last month and in recent days it issued a warning to afghans to stay away from ministries from police stations from anything associated with the military or the governments of both the taliban and i still have launched a number of attacks here in kabul and the taliban is on the offensive around the country as well taking over a district in the north east of the country and south har province today as well as launching attacks on police stations around the country as well so it's been a very very a difficult fighting season so far for the afghan military and as we get closer to elections coming up in october it's really believes that the violence will continue and possibly escalate the worst flare up of volunteer in four years between the

in gaza saying while they have agreed to a cease fire what happened in the throughout the night was that because islamic jihad was the main protagonist and started firing these rockets into israeli territory then the kassam brigade hamas is armed wing felt obliged to join in there was pressure on the street to show its strength so this is when more and more groups started joining in firing rockets and mortars into israel and israel continued to fire rockets into gaza hit targets in gaza both sides exchange all of this fire till four o'clock when find that message seems to have come through and the palestinian groups have taken notice. still to come here it out there as the u.s. moves towards a possible summit with north korea relations with pyongyang places the ally china growing around the time. and as greece's financial aid program nears its end where his friend the energy sector i'm green over that mall reform.
