yale university his first accuser christine blood before will appear before the senate judiciary committee on thursday but those are the headlines the stream is next. getting to the heart of the matter the three big challenges facing in the twenty first century war climate change and technological disruption facing reality what is there to fear is not. in the people around here their story on talk to how. i am really could be today a presidential shift in the following sunday's historic election so what does new leadership mean for the country tweet us your thoughts or leave them in our lives you tube chat and you too can be in the stream.

for many of us this has been a difficult journey. a journey that has led to a prism so. it's been a journey that took complete politicizes from the. public institutions. but it has been it's been a journey that has ended at the ballot box. on sunday maldives opposition leader ibrahim mohammad saw that one country's presidential election the stunning defeat of president. many observers off guard the country has suffered a difficult transition to democracy since the end of three decades of authoritarian rule in two thousand and eight following his election in two thousand and thirteen you mean routinely used his power to crack down on political dissent jelling rivals and even supreme court justices so what does this win mean for democracy in the maltese here to discuss that in geneva jeffrey where he'd his deputy ambassador to

the united nations representing the maltese and mali. she's a member of the maldives democratic party and also a member of parliament and in london will jordan a journalist with al-jazeera investigations his documentary stealing paradise took an in-depth look at government corruption during your means tenure us president welcome back to the stream all of you i want to start with our communities several of them are very excited to show you here via pictures this is she says people are overwhelmed by the victory over injustice the lack of freedom and fairness and shares a picture of people in the streets celebrating after the election here's another ongoing celebrations at tweets to the stream by the opposition and you can see them gathered there late at night eva how significant is this win by the opposition candidate a candidate who is from your own party. i hope i think as.

night said in a moment and since that moment of hope. i mean that's exactly how a lot of people a moment. one of those things that it fails impossible until it was done but now it feels the next of a. we knew we had the votes we knew people wanted justice we knew people wanted democracy back. we knew people wanted their fundamental right says stuart so it's good to see that people who voted for them all of these but it feels like the course has been righted again for the wealthy. the course has been righted just three years. thanks. i have to begin by saying at least i have to offer a warm congratulations to our panelists. to the modern democratic party to the

party to the entire opposition coalition for the victory of their candidates in this presidential election you know honorable brian soul and honorable ice on the seam want to election that was by all measures free fair and credible this election stands the testament to the strength of our institutions and you know with fifty five days to go there are no gration. just not an easy task to keep the coalition together to figure out how they're going to create a government and a presidential system and over these next fifty plus days the government is going to come together with the opposition to create a transition team that ensures the continuity of government but also ensures that the services they need to be frighted to the people are still provided thankfully they have a very strong foundation to build on we have a number of projects that will benefit the people the multi-verse and sleep a number of initiatives that will really put. it on the right footing when

he does take over as president in november of this year and not an easy task before we go too much further in the future i want to pause for a second to remember what happened earlier today on monday so how did the election many people were predicting that we might not see a concession speech immediately by the president i believe mean did concede you see the headline here a delay mean concedes defeat and maldives presidential election he gave a televised speech on monday doing just that have a look. around there not a been a money. do you know you do people have decided what they want. i have accepted the results from yesterday. earlier today i met with abraham mohammed sali. who the mole to be an electorate is chosen to be the next president but what do you get. lost if you can overlook what i would do with

this research. it would be if i had given in every time i faced an issue it was. the rights of the people would have been compromised and so. you know you can we must i was just i felt that there was a one up with the well you heard the speech right there what are your thoughts well i mean i don't i don't think the president you know i mean is particularly worried about the rights of the people he's been caught out. all of the tricks he's used over the last five years i've worked is been voted out and you know democracy is the least worst option and in this case it seems to work but you know jeffrey talked about the strength of the institutions there i don't think despite the fact that we pulled off an election that those things will be credible that the institutions are strong and that's going to be the big challenge of them all these places from here first off the television strong which is

a pretty crude parties and there's a lot of challenges you know those institutions are pretty weak now. so to people even have mentioned the challenges ahead and not being an easy task people are panelists of course this is well and jeffrey both are forecasting that there is a hard road ahead what do you make of that in terms of what the opposition has as a hurdle. i think without a doubt the task ahead to be difficult as we said band of different political parties is very different backgrounds. but i think our candidate i think the brand was probably is well placed to keep the coalition together he's sold it's man he's a dependable man was built a reputation around being around listening to people and pulling people together he's been at the center also keeping this well bringing this coalition together and

also keeping it together for the past year and a half. hours because. i was key moment i think was a common candidate which took the government by surprise and which the government really couldn't come back from and i hope we say committed to governance. and i'm told that wanted to come and counter that you know this very well we've always i don't recommend tended to be put forward ones that actually run in the election really. maybe up to the government to ask for the opposition's candidate is no legal obligation on coal government as government or the other for the head democracy is all but of elite in this country at the moment we have no functioning independent commissions we have no functioning constitutional commission select. the media needs to build the human rights commission the broadcasting commission

all the independent commissions we need to us from ground zero we need to rest of the palm and as you know since last year has been done to me sound to me the tree sees of it so we need to build the military see. and with the last sunday was that . unlike you i'm not a member of parliament was i am going to mention i'm not allowed i'm not allowed inside the military and mission i'm not allowed inside the chambers without their permission and as well into the rules and guidelines of your very own if you don't release new rules we learned where i mean i think we're. ready to leave here you're saying even finish your sentence there because i i see will kind of nodding his head wanting to get in there even though what. the military the soldiers have taken off their uniforms their plain clothes now control the entire column. and. twelve members of parliament opposition members have been unconstitutionally op

from entering the parliament you've been me i've not been i'm still i still hold to all the members who got it wrong to cross party but i can't get into running there's no place for bribery in a democratic governing system so as part of the as a part of what he was saying there is allegations of bribery there are allegations of corruption but also. allegations that president i mean jailed his political opponents and so will give us some context here for that dispute. well i mean it depends how far you want to go back but to talk about democracy in a mole leaves. you know to an outsider that it sounds like something that has existed there's not really been a fully functioning democracy in the mold if there was a thirty year dictatorship under maumoon abdul go you know in the opposition coalition they were. a complicated transition there was there was some time under my arm in a sheet but he didn't have the time all the space or you know some of his partners

the inclination to build that and now we've we've. just term of up till ya means where there's been an assault on many many institutions and individuals and the media within the country and so we need to go right back to the start you know building those democratic institutions is going to take a lot of work and we're not in a place where we can just say ok this is a change of government now just just get it going again with the democracy that has not been built and it needs to be well to illustrate that point you mentioned the time in the sea that is the country's first democratically elected president he tweeted he writes congratulations to president elect you've done an extremely good service to not only to the people of the maldives but also to freedom loving people everywhere democracy is a historical inevitability and supports this tweet of circulated it's got about

nearly five thousand likes but he is in exile and he's not the only one we actually heard from a fellow al jazeera journalist her name is that he never she'd who is also in exile in sri lanka right now and here's what she tells a stream about how she's feeling. so the opposition's victory means that a lot of people living in it's out can go home now so here in colombia there's more than a dozen people and their families who've been out of the country for several years i've been speaking to some of them here and there's a lot of joy about the possibility of returning home but many of them say they're not taking chances until there's a smooth transition of power for me personally i've been outside of them all this for more than two years now and i'm really looking forward to seeing my family especially my niece who is one year old and why haven't yet. geoffrey what do you make of that comment there are several.
