been a day of big celebrations for him and his party given they almost won the last election five years ago the assumption is they became too popular so had to be removed by a government determined to stay in power c n n p is desirable. it is and our party so we don't want to raise about this matter we wondered what can more do you can do for the future of democracy across town the prime minister voted early in an election that's been dismissed as illegitimate by many even longtime supporter japan refused to send election monitors. among cambodians choosing to stay away was conveyed out who won a seat in local elections last year only to lose it when his party was dissolved he now drives for a living and hopes one day he can reenter politics. i will never give up and i strongly hope that in the future my party can be revived through cambodians voting for it and i believe that come bowden's will provide justice for the c.n.n. r.p.

with fingers stained purple for those who voted there will be no hiding for those who didn't and may now fear repercussions the government including the prime minister tried to intimidate people into voting even though it's optional another sign say critics of his increasingly all thora tyrian rule that seems set to continue. so that counting underway now in the rooms behind me scene a scene that is replicated at polling stations right around the country and those results will start to filter into the national election committee here in nonpaying what will also be interesting is the number of spoilt ballots because while we mentioned there had been this boycott campaign by the c.n.n. r.p. many people were afraid to not turn up to vote because of that intimidation campaign the. i mean in syria we appear to have lost when hey there in phnom penh many apologies i think you got the gist of what

and we back up to twenty in paris only london and possibly parts of belgium and the netherlands will suffer suffer we see a drop in temperature compared to the last few weeks and even that may not last a rainy day then if i move you ahead twenty four hours that rain spreads across the low countries and then disappears and tries to stay in the northwest corner everything is normal further east in the thirty's just some pretty big showers through remain here bella roosts the baltic states and down to nice northern greece twenty four in london thirty in paris the temperatures are on their way up again even on monday. that's right the mediterranean fire was a bit of a breeze a fanatic and occasional showers not much to it really north africa much the same with temperatures very good when the wind direction such five in two days about twenty five back in row back not a shower in size so they have quite a long way north every now and again you'll see something substantial niqab to. the weather sponsored by cattle and peace. as armenia's velvet

earthquake a lot of people have been they were under all these the breeze that came down when their houses collapsed though so the situation is pretty severe that the damage is pretty severe especially in the north and east side of lombok given the strength of the earthquake step we can probably expect the death toll to rise. well the authorities say they have now been in contact with all the regions on lombok so they have had all the reports from those regions already it's a not very densely populated island so they don't expect the death toll to rise a lot but they probably would be more that especially also looking at the severe condition of people in the hospital too right now seventy six diddums a serious step first reporting live from jakarta entire neighborhoods destroyed in northern california by what's being described as flaming
