saying he asked his supporters to to calm down is there any indication that that's actually what's going to happen what other options does he have. whoa i mean people in probables camps have actually been people probables camp have actually urged the porters to come out on the streets in a show of people power to demonstrate how angry they are at the election results that they're that they're not happy with what they say was an election that was stolen from them now of course if these protests continue for a couple of days they could disrupt commers they could paralyze the heart of jakarta there's it's very hard to say though what sort of support they're getting don't forget jacoby won the elections by 11 percentage points that translates to nearly 17000000 votes and it's also interesting to note that 2 political parties that are part of probables coalition have actually come out to say that they support the election result that they accept the election results and one leader and a leader of one of those parties has even congratulated president joke o.e.

on his election victory now there's also a legal avenue that's open to proper war he is expected to mount a legal challenge for the constitutional court if he chooses this route he has to do this by friday and the court's ruling is final and it cannot be appealed and if you take this route we could expect a decision sometime in june he's given in when we spoke to him a few hours ago in the sort to people in propose camp a few hours ago they said they're still not sure they haven't decided whether they are taking this route so it really remains to be seen. analysts have said that because we didn't because your one by quite a big margin it somehow undermines the opposition's claim that the elections widely bricked and don't forget also the election supervisor report just very recently on monday dismissed claims of systematic cheating citing lack of credible evidence ok unsling live for us in jakarta thank you. and i asked our son oh isn't indonesia

consultant for human rights watch is has president title has not done enough to address political violence president took over he has no option but to address human rights violation in indonesia then there's a joke we have all to address the deepening political it's between let's say conservative muslim indonesia mostly super problem now and the more poorly small slim areas of the country plus christian areas there are supported by splits and jocko. over the last 20 years there are many many political violence involving ethnic and religious violence in the nation i just read them published a book about that and i estimate about 90 percent of people were killed in the 1st 67 years after the fall of soeharto these are the political violence and of course there are many many victims 90000 of them there should be a press presenter probably should not be shying away infesting political capital in

dealing with less human rights violation plus their rights seeing. hundreds of discriminatory regulation mostly passed by. the people who are on bravo campus i miss them also on the job we can do this to me. mostly made in the name of islam in the name of peace let me tell you go read these these communication and read all of these legal infrastructure it is becoming more and more difficult for minority views woman included to do their daily life and this is something that. the islamic feel that they can force lower and trying to bring down the president that they consider to be the late this hodo to implement what they claim to be. perfect islamic jihad in indonesia. accident certainty may have led to another business casualty with manufacturing giant british steel collapsing it's a base company was hoping to secure

a bailout from the government but the high court has ordered it into compulsory liquidation industrial giant employs 5000 workers directly with another 20000 jobs and volved in its supply chain meanwhile british prime minister theresa may is coming under renewed pressure from right wing m.p.'s within her own party over her latest plans to steer her bracks and deal with the e.u. through parliament she set out her latest plan for britain's departure from the telling politicians they have one last chance to deliver prax it m.p.'s have already rejected her plan 3 times so to cover all this john hall is live for us and london so john what is happening with british steel. well british steel is one of the last remaining big pieces of british heavy industry in decline since the seventy's particularly steel making in more rapid decline recently with big competition from china the company itself blaming its difficulties now on brakes it

related issues weak pound which is way down the cost of raw materials and a big drop in its order books because of concerns about a possible no deal breaker that would see tariffs slapped on british steel exports to its biggest biggest market the european union with a big blow came earlier today with the business minister greg clark declining to offer the company a $30000000.00 pound $40000000.00 loan as it had required or asked for saying that it was simply not lawful for the government to offer a loan of the sort on a commercial basis or something like british steel and that of course will come as very bad news for the 5000 employees or 20000 further employees in the wider supply chain and of course to the area of scunthorpe in the north of england adding massively to pressure on the government at this time over british 70 percent of people in scunthorpe voted for breakfast if you believe that part of the underlying reason for that was a sense in the north of england of being ignored overlooked and cared for by the

big politicians in westminster well they'll feel vindicated now i think. the whole essence or what kind of pressure is theresa may and are today. the prime minister is in prime minister's questions in parliament now just after that she's expected to make a statement of the house of commons presumably laying out the nuts and bolts of a so-called new deal on briggs it a 10 point plan that she unveiled on tuesday but i think she won't be kidding herself she's in for a pretty hostile reception reaction so far has been negative almost universally she's failed to win over those she hoped she might who want to see a 2nd referendum she dangled that tantalizingly on tuesday but in fact it was an empty offer merely a vote in parliament on whether to hold a 2nd referendum only if they 1st pos breaks it deals she's also managed to alienate further those on the right of her party with offers of compromise and

a customs union that designed to woo the labor party in opposition labor and we would buy any of this including workers' rights and environmental protections as part of this 10 point plan everybody knows of course that this vote if it goes ahead will be the last act of this prime minister she's pledged to either step down or set a timetable for her departure immediately afterwards win or lose and everyone will know that the person who comes after will likely come from the right of her party brick city a so-called that will simply junk any concessions made and push for an even harder form of bricks it and with the latest in london town a bank. so starting on thursday voters across the e.u. were elected members of the european parliament will have the power to approve e.u. laws the e.u. budget and choose the president of the european commission there are 751 seats up for grabs with each of the $28.00 e.u. countries getting a number of seats proportional to their population the u.k.

is still taking part because it's bracks that plans have not passed the 2 major blocks of parliament or of the right leaning in the center left s n d but the dominance of those coalitions could be eroded by the rise of europe's populists for to laugh in as the director of the global governance program at the european university institute says euro skeptic in me peace may increase but will not dominate will we should remember that the anti european radical right won about 25 percent of the vote already in 2014 this will rise this time but probably no higher than 3033 percent in other words it will not be a dramatic rise although it will be put trade as such i see no way in which the socialists and the p.p. the center left and right can continue to be the dominant grand coalition in the parliament they're going to have to do

a deal and the question is will that be with the liberals and. which could well when about $100.00 seats or will it would be the greens because of course another important political development in europe is the resurgence of the greens so the political arithmetic on monday will determine who the next president of the european parliament will be will it come from will it be a compromise come to dish will it come from the party with the largest number of seats it will not be determined by the anti european forces because although they will rise they will not be the dominant force in the parliament. hungary's ethnic roma community is living in fear of racially motivated violence after far right protesters held a rally in a town nice to be oppressed the demonstration was organized by our homeland movement a far right party that was established last year its leader described roma as gypsy terrorists responsible for crime. saudi arabia and the united arab emirates will

of assets to turn attacks against american forces. our biggest focus at this point is to prevent iranian miscalculation. we do not want the situation to escalate. this is about deterrence not about war. or not about going to war we're ready to respond if we have to the best thing to happen is for everybody to calm down and iran to back off and i'm hoping that this show of force will result in deescalating not escalating nobody is talking about a military solution to the current friction with the iranians i haven't heard anybody discuss that r.t. thank you all very much but the briefing still did not convince skeptical democrats make no mistake this president and his administrator itching for a confrontation with iran i believe that a war with iran. it would be. an absolute disaster.
