11:19 am
with humility and on our i tell the colombian people that i will give all my energies to unite our country no more divisions let's think about a country for all and everyone for me it's very important to tell you and the whole of colombia that today there are no defeated citizens because i want to be the president that gives the same love to those who voted for me and those who didn't the polls closed across colombia at four pm but it soon became clear that duke a had a commanding lead handpicked by former president alvaro uribe has promised to modify the peace accords with falk rebels they ended fifty years of conflict but it's not yet clear what any changes he makes will mean for an already fragile process despite losing gustavo puts it was colombia's most successful leftist candidate the former rebel secured more than forty percent of the vote and has pledged to continue his fight for a fairer society and less dependence on fossil fuels. if you can governs with those who helped him win government suffers
11:20 am
a fatal injury hopefully he is able to hopefully i am able to trick myself about his personality and the one elected has sufficient strength to separate himself from those who helped him become elected because they are the worst associations for colombia this was one of the safest elections in colombia's recent history there were no reports of violence across the country a sign say analysts the democracy here is maturing these are elections that have been peaceful. has been polarized seen because citizens are. not used to have a left option and the right option with very different programs but i do think that this is the first time in columbus history that we're discussing politics. in other democracies in the world if he has a lot to prove his critics say he's nothing more than a puppet of. a hardliner that's both popular and polarizing but it's what he might do with those peace accords with the people watch most closely because through may
11:21 am
have lost but the less voice here has never been stronger on the gallacher al-jazeera bogota colombia german chancellor angela merkel is scrambling to hold together her conservative government coalition and follows a deepening divide over her handling of the european migrant crisis now the question social and social union is on the verge of splitting the government i mean again has more from berlin where he is watching all this what is happening today dominic. well michel we have a series of meetings taking place today specifically involving the christian democratic union that angela merkel's party the executive of that party meeting right about now and also the the senior elements the leadership of the christian social union rep a very an allies of angular merkel specifically under the leadership of the federal interior minister horst zehava he is the man at the at the center of this storm as it were because it's he who wants to reinstitute border controls effectively to
11:22 am
send back people who come to germany claiming asylum you've already claimed asylum in another e.u. state that's what he wants to do but angle americal does not want to do that she says a european solution is the best answer not just for germany but for the whole of the e.u. that's what seen in play here and over the course of today there will be news conferences given both by mr hoffa and by angle americal later on today she'll be back here in the chancery behind me meeting the italian prime minister and clearly that will be an issue there as well so lots of meetings but lots of tension today about what each party is going to do so let's talk about that tension and this particular moment how significant is this moment in german politics. well the point to make here is it shouldn't be so tense because these are historic allies the christian social union the christian democratic union have worked
11:23 am
together in the german parliament as a united bloc for decades effectively they've been in control of germany for the past thirteen years the chancellor candidate in bavaria is the same chancellor candidate as the whole country angular merkel of the detention is playing at there and the interesting thing is the way that the media has been reporting on this so i show you some of the front pages today from the newspapers here we have diverge going on about the loss yesterday in the world cup of germany against mexico saying wake up to the team but some people might say that's the that's a cry to the leaders of the two parties to wake up to see the precipice they've marched themselves up and up towards and to think will stop and you have a sense of that here with a headline saying they hope a singles perhaps he's prepared to find a compromise and then another of the papers this is the frankfurter allgemeine zeitung you see i'm going to merkel here and the headline saying from mr zero for quoting him saying the situation is serious but manageable and then finally if i show you the front page of the zoo dog shit citing no that's printed in bavaria so
11:24 am
in other words where the c.s.u. has its base and you have here again a reference to the german defeat yesterday but here a reference saying that mr zale finds himself in the unpleasant position of having to make some sort of move but whatever move he makes he might lose that because the fundamental point here is the brinkmanship that his party has been playing in some ways may cost it electorally that's the point here that the party the c.s.u. in bavaria is facing a state election there this autumn this fall as it were and the problem he faces is that the alternative for germany the far right party which is very strongly trying to get immigration a very serious issue to toughen up immigration some people say that is why the c.s.u. is playing this tactic now of trying to be seen to be tough on immigration question will be what will emerge from the meetings being held today but as i say the tension is is very palpable all right i mean again live for us and our land thank

toddlers and others most vulnerable these migrants and refugees were forced to spend all the we can see on european union leaders squabble over migration policy and show ships are just doing their work are saving lives as in the ben and humanitarian organization saving lives is not a crime or not a course of this situation we're also not a solution well we are at the end this is a symptom of a failing of the european governments relief workers say many migrants landing in spain were tortured in libyan detention centers or may have been traded a six slaves after a health check from medical workers migrants disembarked to be registered by police and assessed it's the start of a months long process while the recounts are scrutinised and the government decides who will be allowed to stay as refugees it's unacceptable that the those ones we wish to protect. i don't understand what's going on here i mean imagine that you
