we're challenging companies who are going to places where nobody else is going. early election results in sweden show the center left and center right blocks neck and neck and the surge in support for the far right. hello i'm barbara starr you're watching al-jazeera life from london also coming up on the program fighting flares again around the whole day killing eighty four people after talks to end the civil war in yemen collapse. barrel bombs and there are strikes continue to follow and have a province is in syria taking another hospital out of action.

and floats and flags but no missiles as north korea marks its seventieth anniversary with a huge military parade. let's begin in sweden where early results show the country turning right to and heading for a hung parliament with around eighty percent of districts now counted the center left bloc led by the prime minister stephan loaf and has just over forty percent of the vote and that is almost a dead heat with the center right alliance led by the moderates significantly the far right and hammer gratian and d.e.u.s. sweden democrats led by jimmy opus and are on track to be the second biggest party with more than seventeen point eight percent of the vote well john holl is live for us at the headquarters of the center left social democrats so i guess the results are starting to be a little bit more clear now how are they going down so far. well

here at the social democrats headquarters the center left party that's been the ruling party going into this election they've been celebrating barbara bush still the number one party in sweden politics swedish politics as they have been for a century albeit having seen their worst result ever in this election it's an illustration really of the way this election has peeled support away from the center ground the mainstream old parties of the center ground benefiting the smaller parties in particular those in the extremes the extreme left doing pretty well and of course the far right to sweden democrats they're the big winners of the night really although they've not done nearly as well as they hoped and many fear has medical. the center left social democrats have been the biggest party in every swedish election for a century true again this time but not by far and it's

a relief it's been their worst result of a i think it's fine big problem now is how can we make it. how can you be a government with this since it's really hard to see. how to how to make us table government this is an election that scene support shift from the center to the extremes coalition building will be tough one big winner has been the anti immigrant sweden democrats are not as big as they'd hoped the story of the night is that while the far right has become a force in swedish politics they won't be taking over just yet what would seem hairy is a political earthquake. really brought to sweep this political history and i think that they're the leaders of the two big parties social democrats and the moderate party need to listen to this single from the swedish people need to say is the policies. that the sweetest people want to see the rise of the far right in sweden

meant voters took to the election with customary. suzy hasn't even if many harbored deep concerns terrible i just want to cry when i think about it the see. awful thing is i mean yeah of course we have a lot of refugees here we need to take care of them they come from a terrible place terrible for us we can't just throw them out immigration and integration have been front and center in a divisive vote with this country's famous values of tolerance and openness at stake so sweet it isn't in danger of becoming a far right state and nor are the sweden democrats even likely to make it into government no party at this stage will even talk to them but they are likely to continue to exert and in direct influence on the wear head having already succeeded to the horror of many in putting nationalism and identity politics on the swedish agenda peter waller dusky is editor in chief of one of sweden's major daily

newspapers the tone has already changed it has changed a lot and i think the major change came in two thousand and fifteen after the big refugee crisis a lot of refugees came in sweden in a very short time span and the systems here didn't work properly and lot of people reacted to that and the sweden democrats sort of logical consequence of the well they searched in the polls as a result of that crisis and they've stayed on that kind of result since some swedes will tell you the rise of the far right is overblown that this country has never been happier or more prosperous but extrusion politics are in sweden to state now and many other swedes see trouble ahead. well jonah following on from the end of your report there how big a change do you think this will be for the political landscape of sweden.

well i think it's been a pretty put flexing election in many respects barbara and more perplexing still will be the coalition talks to come people talk of it taking on weeks there is literally no space at all between the center left of center right coalition you see who will form a government one or other of them the center right leader has called on stefan lluvia in the center left social democrats prime minister to step down saying his party is his coalition has run its course and i think we're going to hear a lot of that sort of talk in the coming days of one thing is clear the sweden democrats are unlikely to get a look in the government nobody will talk to them they've already reiterated that as the results are coming in this evening but yes it's an election that has drawn a new political landscape here in sweden the two big parties much diminished though still dominant with the extremes now having to be listened to jimmy ackerson the sweden democrats the far right party leader saying that the result means his party

will have major influence in events here in sweden in the coming weeks and in the coming years and i'm sure he's probably right the election has demonstrated that immigration is a big problem in this country the foreigners coming in and not nearly as welcome as they once were also that nationalism and identity are big issues and these are major revelations in a country that has been long famous for its openness preach tolerance that has held high the sort of moral mantle in europe and far beyond a country that must now put forward a rather different face to the world and how with the latest from stockholm jelena thank you. ferrite protesters have held a rally in the eastern german town of coton following the death of a twenty two year old man two afghan migrants were detained in relation to his death police have since revealed the victim died of heart failure the two afghans aged eighteen and twenty two are being investigated on suspicion of causing bodily

that the release sixty strikes on who date or city and its surroundings and also the province as a whole reports from multiple sources suggests that there were schools of deaths exactly how many in which category is unclear but civilians were amongst them naturally there is fear right across the city right now this is the response of some farmers. eventually you're not going to we're living in fear shrouded day and night in fear squadrons of forty five warplanes are frequently have written about our hats. with fear we cannot sleep at night yesterday the far she kept shelling out the living in fear night and day the saudi coalition planes are homeless everything going to be. a shell hit my neighbor's house it destroyed the wall where my neighbor was sleeping it just missed him by few inches. now that a city has a seaport and an airport naturally there military targets if there is

a checkpoint if if the lines up cut between her data and sound then that's a disaster not just militarily for the hooter's but in humanitarians terms it's absolute catastrophe no martin gryphus warned about this he said that people had to sort of concentrate on the economy he was really forceful in his words but had to admit that he had not got the talks together he had not been able to separate the passage of the rebels to geneva that's all history no situation on the ground as ever with warfare negotiations are far out of the minds of anyone there is a fight going on a fight that's got much more serious. syria's government has resumed its heavy bombardment of rebel positions in italy province observer groups say helicopters dropped more than sixty barrel bombs on the village of beit in southern idlib and russian jets reportedly carried out more than ten strikes in neighboring hama

calls terrorist teams attacking revolutionary guards in towns inside iran's own kurdish region iran says leaders of the group attacked on saturday have been ignoring its warnings to dismantle their camps this is a rainy an attack comes just a couple of days after violence on the streets of the southern city of basra which the iranian consulate was one of several buildings that were attacked and burned now there's no evidence to suggest that that incident is in any way connected with this latest attack but iraqis are speculating here that this is iran's way of showing it can strike back and strike back powerfully iran's missile attack has been condemned by must the former kurdish president he says he's urging all sites not to use the codis region to settle their confrontations iraq's foreign ministry has also criticized what it's calling a violation of iraq's sovereignty but it didn't mention iran by name in its statement this is

that helps the people of sudan to afford the busy commodities which has been very difficult in the last sort of decades of course you know about the sanctions and the mismanagement of the economy and the corruption issues in sudan very easy in an economic vision for sudan they need to come up the next president. has clearly that is not going to be running for the next for the next election but they need to have a clear economic vision i think they can do it it's a very small country quite wealthy with some oil or oil reserves so they can do it but they need to move away a key issue same core corruption minded they can only it's not rocket science it can be done at least one thousand people have died after a plane crashed into a lake in south sudan the aircraft was traveling from juba two year old in the middle of the country local reports say that three children were among the twenty two passengers one of the survivors is an italian doctor who was working for a charity. cos of us president has urged restraint has

the balkans. and patriotic fervor runs high serbia lost control of kosovo nearly twenty years ago after a bitter conflict with rebels fighting for an independent state nato is a defense and eventually bought the fighting to an end but the government in belgrade has never accepted kosovo's two thousand and eight declaration of independence addressing one of the most nationalists of communities in the region was always going to be a challenge from east of which the community here has always railed against compromise but compromise is exactly what most of which has been urging saying that war and violence of any serve to isolate the serb community here. the idea is to save our people our country our institutions to preserve peace and at least try to build bridges of trust towards the open eons. to strive for an agreement even when we know it's nearly impossible because the alternative leads up

to an abyss and catastrophe. the crowd may have listened and politely applauded but not quite prepared to let go of the past to the medulla we got the message that we should continue to stay here to fight for kosovo until we die even then our children will carry on. we have to continue our presence here and i believe better days are coming those hopes rest on how both serbs and albanians can not only live together but also thrive this is one of the poorest regions in europe and both communities are equally affected joining the european union would many here hope help financially but there is much that needs to be done for that to happen missing the only memory of them until we have no other alternative serbia cannot continue to talk of accession to the you approach normalizing relations with kosovo and kosovo in turn needs to fulfill its obligations prior to the parliament elections in the coming spring and in
