who is experiencing that in fact we had a recent report from a trade bodies on the austrian outrage board in the country which says at least $4.00 draws jobs jobs have been have been created only the embassy me sector which is the medium and small scale industries so i think all of these issues have been exaggerated far beyond the real you know the situation and the hands and the opposition of actually. also during these elections ok and just briefly as you say may progress on the economic issues but there under which he has called for a more inclusive n.z. in saying this is he recognising the stark to visions in the country divisions which may have energized the b.g.p. base and arguably deliver that back to me see that again as you know is an issue which has been exaggerated far more than what the real situation on the ground is on the other hand we believe that we have put an end to the minority

appeasement regime been going on for for the last 70 years and which in effect was just once available the minority community not being able to progress in a way which the other communities have progressed minorities have always been treated as a war bank by the by the congress and the opposition we have by what them as the previous government invested so much in love just one of those issues the way we have. i think you know our policies are more futuristic we don't believe in back to us and you know i don't get is and that is precisely what doesn't go down well with the opposition parties and so far as some of you know some of the law and order order issues which which are you may be referring to or which you may have been mind let me tell you that the law and order issues are a state subject in our control structure and in most cases all rather i would say 95 percent of the cases the culprits have been blocked or have been treated in

a way in which any other criminal would be dealt with ok to. imagine we could discuss to continue this discussion for much longer unfortunately have to leave it there but thank you so much to you in san spokesman for the b j p joining us from new delhi where voting is underway across in the european union as well to elect members of the european parliament between now and some day people from 20 eight's nations well she's any piece to represent them the u.k. and the netherlands are the 1st countries to vote. well britain's prime minister to resign may as resisting calls to resign after her latest breck's it plan backfired may's new page failed to win over both the opposition and many in her own party one of her senior cabinet ministers the leader of the house of commons andrew led some resigned after saying she doesn't believe the new proposals can deliver breck's its revised plan included provision for a possible 2nd breck said referendum well ensley has the latest from london. well

she hasn't gone yet and as of thursday afternoon evening she was still trying cesspit lisa resurrects a further iteration of her withdrawal agreement thing that she could puts a parliament for a 4th vote at some point in the middle of june but the problem is that her whole party is rather patience with her and on friday morning she knows full well that it's the head of the but benches the rank and file concerned and peace is going to go to her and say that if she doesn't announce when she's going to step down as prime minister they will try to change their own rules and force her out of office and so really it's impossible to escape the closure to reason it has totally run out of road and the smart thinking at the moment seems to be that on friday morning what she's most likely to do is to announce that she is stepping down as leader of

the conservative party but staying on for the time being as prime minister that would allow the race to begin to replace her as conservative party leader but she will carry on as prime minister actually name only until that process is completed an up process will carry on through the whole of june and into july and all the divisions inside the conservative party will be laid bare between the moderates who want to retain some sort of relationship with the european union and the hardliners who don't and in the end it will get with. down to 2 and it will be the conservative party membership which will get to decide who becomes the next conservative party leader and therefore in the interim any way prime minister the conservative party membership in large is very old or someone who is prepared to take the u.k. out of the european union with no deal at all and that's leaving everybody at the conclusion the next promise of the time being at least is likely to be boris johnson but don't expect the bricks psychodrama and that inside the conservative

a key campaign several years ago against the muslims that also what many people say led to and to muslim violence down in the south in 2014 so given the current situation in the country which is just recovering from some violent and riots in the northwest part of the country his release by a presidential pardon is seen as sending the wrong messages in terms of sri lanka way stands its commitment to ensuring. interracially into common olah sectarian harmony and this is what many people are beginning to question one constitutional lawyer basically saying that this presidential pardon was a slap in the face of an independent judiciary given the 5 basically reason he was convicted so as sort of the whole thing begins to sort of seep in. many

continuous outrage as this number ticks higher hala and some more details on the 6th desk which we only learned about in fact this is a 10 year old girl from el salvador who passed away last september the details about how that happened are still quite scams but what we do know is according to the government agency that we settles refugees that she was admitted to that agency in a week medical states that required a surgery she developed complications that put her into a coma. for 6 months before she ultimately died so these stories keep coming and coming and of course the public is outraged by this speaker of the house democrat nancy pelosi just spoke how this is simply unacceptable yet it continues to happen despite the public pressure the political pressure and even despite laws that were designed to try to prevent this sort of thing the 16 year old young boy who died

and robs report he had been staying in a border patrol facility for a 6 days in a place where legally children can only be kept for 72 hours so despite those legal protections being flouted the deaths continue hala. we already this hyper partisan environment in the states we've had these oversight hearings they're continuing of course today but realistically is there anything to change with regard to immigration policy in the way these children are being treated. will list a cli in the short term no it's not likely to change not until there is an election and perhaps a new government because we're seeing a repetition of the same thing over and over again the outrage coming from the left and from the right c representing the trauma ministration saying that they are simply overwhelmed by the number of people coming across the border which is at a 10 year high at this moment with more than 100000 people crossing in

a single month and as you say these oversight hearings continue the department of human homeland security's afternoon she's back on capitol hill today repeating that his agency is overwhelmed and needs more funding he's there again to ask congress for the $8000000000.00 that trump has requested to build the border wall we all know the democrats have said adamantly there is no way it will give up that money and thus the continued standoff and the continued dangerous conditions that these central american families find themselves in for their hard in washington d.c. thank you. the u.s. federal aviation administration is hosting officials from around the world in texas there to discuss the boeing 737 max but the meeting isn't open to the public or the media comes a week to boeing said it completed a software update $346.00 people were killed in 2 crashes less than 5 months

apart she reports. the global fleet of nearly 400 boeing 737 max has been grounded since mid march the federal aviation administration in the u.s. says thursday's meeting will provide international aviation officials insist to any questions they have as they weigh whether the jets should fly again representatives from boeing will not be present however since the 2 recent 737 max crashes in indonesia and ethiopia scrutiny of the aircraft developments some wondering whether the f.a.a. and boeing should a century be treated as a single entity for example members of congress wondered why the f.a.a. took so long to ground the 737 max that public perception wise and it was took so long for us to do it because f.a.a. was just too cozy with. the 737 max was reportedly rushed to market after surprise boeing with a new fuel efficient plane in 2010 instead of developing a new aircraft boeing updated its 737 model with larger engines that needed to be

placed further forward on the plane but that meant the aircraft could pitch upwards in some circumstances and lead to the engine stalling to compensate boeing developed a software fix em cas or the maneuvering characteristics mentation system however not only did the system rely on just one sensor with a record of malfunctioning boeing didn't highlight the new system to the f.a.a. or to pilots part of being sales pitch was that despite the major design changes this was fundamentally the same plane as the 737 so the reset of a cation process was speedy and costly additional pilot training would be minimal the f.a.a. took boeing at its word. they made changes in 2005 that affected lee handed over all this sort of occasion process to the manufacturers and i say you know there's there's very little evidence that shows that boeing is in any way gauging any kind of robust testing. but the challenge for boeing and the f.a.a.

is to reestablish that credibility the c.e.o. of ethiopian airlines for one says he'll take a lot of convincing to use the 737 max i cannot fully say that they had pain when for my back on it you're paralyzed so i'm wonder whether the economic importance of returning the 77 marks to the skies will drive the plane swift recertification in the current system that we have the wobbly wein airbus and boeing there's a sense that this is all too big to fail you know the airlines need to get these airplanes because they are likely to upgrade their fleets they need to better fuel economy of the airplanes so there's an eval to build the of the plane coming back to service it sort of the old days of dying in a plane crash or one in several 1000000 none of us what we've learned from the development of the 737 max is cause for concern i'm shihab rattansi al-jazeera. a video has emerged appearing to show israeli settlers setting far to palestinian

history i think the security issue has been protected in a way that people's imagination was fixed on that and then you start feeding them constantly. so it seems that in the post independence india the 1st time for the 1st time security issue has become such a big issue. india has 29 states and 7 union territories and is the world's largest democracy there are over 8000 candidates all fighting for 543 seats in the lok sabha the incumbent prime minister narendra modi and his b j p party won the last election with a landslide victory of the 1st majority led government since 1904 repeating that in 2019 might be difficult but early exit polls suggest modi is heading to victory once again. the indian prime minister narendra modi addresses supporters at the party headquarters and thank the people for their vote. during my campaign i

appealed to the people to vote for the bt for a new india they have responded to my appeal and i am humbled i bow my head and thank them all. and we've also heard from the main opposition challenger rahul gandhi he congratulated me on the results many campaign make during the campaign i said the people will decide who will rule the country and they have made a decision so firstly let me congratulate prime minister modi i must also thank my party workers who are putting up a tough fight a battle is of ideology and vision and the people seem to have chosen to be j.p. . has crossed life now to new delhi where so hell raman is standing by and saw her lab results coming in but spears the campaign was forced on the b j p focusing on the nationalist agenda and more these persona and it appears to have paid off as in it despite the opposition attempts to discredit him.

indeed yes there has to be said that the campaign itself sort of had a huge turn for both sides in this election in set theory where we had that massive attack on indian paramilitary forces an indian administered kashmir and the response of the indian government by bombing parts of pakistan that but this to smear the ongoing diplomatic spat between the 2 countries that have caused the opposition wanting more clarification as to what had been targeted who had been killed what sort of intelligence had been gathered before that attack and that criticism of the government seemed to backfire on the b.b.c. in that it was not supporting the state in the time of need it was seen as not being nationalistic and being an indian and the whole concept of being an

indian was. what the b.g.p. clung on to and they use that as a club to hit opposition parties over the head with by saying how dare you criticize us when we are trying to defend our country you seem to be supporting the other side and that rhetoric of that line of thought seems to her you might say. resonated with the public where we've been talking to people across the country through this whole election period myself my colleagues that was the one thing that seemed to really be a pivotal issue in a pivotal statement that divided the 2 sides to them and the fact that even though the opposition themselves tried time and time again to really bring the conversation back to the issues that mattered to monetise ation to the loss of those 502-1000 rupee notes in 2060 decimated the rural and agricultural

work done in the next 5 years and that's what modi came in over 2014 was to stop corruption to stop corruption and develop the country. and joining us there from new delhi thank you. well from the largest democratic exercise in the world to the 2nd largest sporting is on the way in the european union to elect members of the european parliament's between now and sunday people from 28 nations will choose any piece to represent them the u.k. and the ins are the 1st countries civil. now in northwestern syria rebels have launched a counterattack against pro-government forces fighting has been intensifying in on the province's that's despite turkish and russian brokered cease fire say no whether has the reports. the rebels have beat back gains by the syrian army and its allies in the countryside of hama province in northwest syria the town of
