a free man. sudan's president dissolves his government and picks a new prime minister in hopes of fixing the country's struggling economy. sweden is facing a period of lengthy political wrangling after an election which ended in stalemate though with big gains for the far right the center left bloc led by the prime minister stefan lawson came out was just over forty percent of the vote he's rejected calls for his resignation and says he'll hold talks with political opponents about forming a coalition government the center right alliance led by the moderates say it's they who are being given the mandate to lead the country they want virtually the same share as the leftist outgoing government block the far right anti immigration n.t.e.u. sweden democrats led by you me of course and gain support seeing their vote rising to seventeen percent talks to form
8:02 am
a new government begin on monday but all parties have so far refused to work with the sweet and democrats is the obvious we can. well defacto of course i'm disappointed that the party with nazi roots could gain psion once ground it's a party that in this election has had representatives that want a journalist to die which is glorified hitler and humiliated victims of the holocaust this weekend democrats could never offer a change or improvements in society the only thing they could offer is widening the gap in society and growing hatred journal whole now from stockholm. 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 be their worst result ever i think it's fine the problem now is how can we make it. how can you be governed with this since it's really hard to see.
8:03 am
how it is about to make a stable government this is an election that seen support shift from the center to the extremes coalition building will be tough one big winner has been the empty 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 harry is a political earthquake. regards me as 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 do saying that 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 enthusiasm even if many harbored deep concerns terrible i just want to cry when i think about it they see.
8:04 am
awful things 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 course 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 choice 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 way ahead 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
8:05 am
a very short time span and the systems here didn't work properly and lot of people reacted to that and the sweden democrats are 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 extreme politics are in sweden to state now and many other swedes see trouble ahead jonah hill al jazeera stocco eighty four people have been killed in renewed fighting in yemen's port city of the data that comes after talks in geneva collapsed when the rebel delegation failed to show up claiming they weren't given an aircraft for the journey to switzerland hospital sources say the dead include dozens of who three rebel fighters and at least eleven government troops who daters seen heavy fighting between saudi backed government forces and rebels for several months displacing tens of thousands of civilians and

8:10 am
. now staying with her story madonna is a senior communications officer at the world food program she says the international community must commit to ending conflicts around the world. well i think that the world needs to make it very clear to the parties to this conflict that they won't accept this kind of callous brutal and vicious assaults on innocents conflicts disrupt people's ability to farm to keep their livestock jobs disappear it can lead to economic collapse that causes food prices to skyrocket so even people who are miles and miles and miles away from any active fighting will find that they are no longer able to afford the simplest of meals in south sudan for example it takes a day and a half's wages for an average person to be able to afford a simple plate of beliefs of beans do so it's absolutely imperative that the world . makes
8:11 am
a political commitment to ending these conflicts and to ending them quickly and in most countries we are still making very good progress in dealing with the chronic systemic problems that keep people chronically hungry the poverty and the un unemployment and the other sort of development challenges we're making progress against those things in almost every country on earth that's just a handful of places. save the children has outlines ten of them where things are so bad that they're actually reversing the progress they're outweighing the progress that's being made in all of the other countries on earth and that is deeply shocking and it has to stop. the former cambodian opposition leader kim carr has been released from jail he'd been in prison for about a year awaiting trial on charges of treason he's accused of plotting to overthrow the government his daughter says he's been freed on bail and placed under house arrest the supreme court dissolved his cum buddy international rescue party last

an east africa economic and political analyst she believes many people will welcome the move. it's certainly a welcome or a very difficult political move for a mother shill to take but suddenly one that many people who've been struggling and of course. crying out to the government to come to come up with an economic vision that helps the people of sudan to afford the basic 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 they could only have been struggling and everybody expected there would peak it would pick up in october when the sanctions against iran were lifted by a present trump but it didn't and of course there is an election in the coming months perhaps next year so i think there's a political. plan and obviously one that hopefully will sustain and give the country or the government an upper hand the government has from clearly felt and the need to be seen to be doing something to appease the public
8:21 am
who are struggling as they too are for the busy commodity so suddenly up of this move one but is not not you know side of the politicians have been dropped will obviously be going up again some of the show but it's interesting time for sudan i think one important thing which the country has been advised by the world bank in there the bigger west is to diversify sudan's economy to move away from other depending on all the in focus on investing in a great catcher and the health care which that they have completely failed and also spending so much of the country's revenue on military it's just more country seventy five percent of sudan's budget goes to military to the military and security and failing to to invest in other sectors. the ugandan president has warned other countries not to interfere in the country's politics here very much seventy accused unnamed countries of funneling money to opposition parties opposition m.p. and musician bobby wine has been urging the united states to suspend military aid
