fifteen meters away and go off half cocked to her she's a nurse so there were children who were sort of bolted towards her and landed right next door to she was treating them she said there were bodies all over the place and particularly a lot of children because she saw. a lot of children come into the church from the sunday school right before they. went to. happen sort of at the entrance so it was extremely gruesome and the hospital there in the east which is. a district by far than colombo was really struggling to cope with all of the casualties. pope francis has also condemned what he described as the cruel violence of the attacks in thousands of washed up has joined the roman catholic leader in some peter's square faced a mass seven and a half percent of the christians of whom eighty percent a catholic the pope expressed sadness over the attacks offering his heartfelt closeness to the community there. dear brothers and

sisters i heard with sadness use of the horrendous attacks which on this very day sunday have brought morning pain to churches and other places and true long i would like to express my heartfelt closeness to the christian community attacked while gathered in prayer and to all the victims of such cruel acts of violence i entrust to the lord all who so tragically died and i pray for the rooted in all those who suffered because of this tragic event. a comedian is set to be ukraine's next president saddam is a lensky was the wildcard in the election with no political experience other than playing the president on television but he has now secured a resoundingly victory in the runoff vote exit polls give him seventy three percent of the vote while the incumbent petro poroshenko got twenty five percent. i will never let you down i may not formally be president yet but as

a citizen of ukraine i could tell all close soviet countries look at us everything is possible. bar shanghai was already conceded defeat but also says he has no plans to quit politics altogether. the ukraine's ukraine. do you crane's this month i will leave the post of the head of state this is what most of you have decided and i accept this decision i will leave office but i want to announce firmly i will not leave politics. or open for stare walker spoke to us from ukrainian capital kiev i'm standing outside the headquarters of the load immediate zelinsky his campaign where his organizers and the media have been gathered to hear this extraordinary results this exit poll giving him seventy three percent extraordinary because he is a man with no political experience who's come from seemingly nowhere in just four

months to being the head of this race of course we're still waiting for those final results to come in as they will be doing over the next few hours but in the meantime everyone is assuming that a lot of me at selenski will be the next president of ukraine he spoke to supporters earlier and he said he thanked the people of ukraine he said he would never let ukrainians down and he said that this election could serve as an example to other soviet post soviet countries in their efforts to develop further along the democratic path right now mr zelinsky is going to have to think about forming a government and deciding on which ministers that he's going to have he is able to select several key positions he's going to be likely to have to do deals and at some point people expect that mr simlins ski's political party which is also called servant of the people named after the television series in which he starred as that

fictional president that this political party when elections were called will pick up a lot of. and that would enable ms dizzy lenski to proceed all the kind of reforms that he wants to achieve here we still don't really know exactly what mr zielinski has in store for the crane because his policies were very poorly elaborated on during this campaign and how he is going to deal with the problem of russia in the east of the country where the conflict continues where more than thirteen thousand people have toyed over the last few days these are the issues that the fellow to me is the instant now faces michael booker q. is a global affairs analyst and former diplomat in ukraine he says lensky will now have to work with a fractious parliament to deliver on his promises i think what's going to happen there is going to be a very short honeymoon and then he's going to have to start delivering very quickly on the bread and butter issues that ukrainians voted him in for i think the main

reason he did get in is because polish uncle campaign was tone deaf to a lot of the issues that ukrainians care about rooting out corruption better standard of living better pensions but that was very little talked about now having said all that what the landscape will have to do the moment he wakes up tomorrow morning is to probably try it up to the hill to parliament here and start working on finding a way to work with the coalitions it's very fractious right there right now there's not a feasible working coalition because they are need they are all needed to get legislation through and also a lot of his appointments the other problem he has he doesn't have a party in parliament it's only exists on paper so he is going to have to make deals and there are a lot of people it has to be said that do not like this man whatsoever to see don now a protest leader as the saying they no longer recognise the military group put in place for a transition period of up to two years it follows talks between the army and the demonstrators who are calling for an immediate transition to

a civilian government the head of the transitional military council says they're considering protests as demands for a joint military civilian council. the military council is political committee has established communication with all political parties they were asked to provide their respective suggested visions and solutions for the transitional period and beyond more than one hundred views have been submitted and currently examined by the political committee within one week from now the military council will return to them with answers and a final conclusion it is agreed that the former ruling national congress party is out of the process most of the view is centered on a civil authority an executive government. we reaffirm that we cannot go back to square one we cannot be intrigued by the military plus we cannot allow the former regime to regain power the regime is attempting to reproduce itself as we stood.
