parties al-jazeera style raman reports now from new delhi. he is on course to win a 2nd term as prime minister of india he arrived at his governing b.g.p. head. waters' late on thursday evening jubilant by what his party had achieved. today we have witnessed citizens from every nook and corner of the country filling this beggar's hand i banged my head before india's 1300000000 citizen. but celebrations at b j p headquarters began earlier in the day and vote counting wasn't even over yet the votes of hundreds of millions of indians were tallied and candidates and their agents are focusing on the district centers and each constituency. the election commission says the turnout was the largest in indian election history more than 600000000 people voted out of the 900000000 who are

eligible to take part in the 6 week election the issues a clear for some. people have voted for nationalism for the good of the country and for development work done by trust. the only person who can fight. this is the reason only. as a prime minister. this election has been one of the most divisive in recent years i think the security. that people's imagination was fixed on 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 in india the opposition have congratulated modi many. 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 murty i must also thank my

party workers for putting up a tough fight our battle is of ideology and vision and the people seem to have chosen to be j.p. . for now it's a moment for the j.p. supporters to save the prime minister in the b j p one of the last election. with a landslide victory and that led to the 1st majority led government since 1980 fall repeating that in 2019 doesn't appear to have been that difficult counting suggests that modi is on course for another huge election victory the people have handed him a 10 year mandate a mandate that he asked for back in 2014 so a whole raft of al-jazeera new delhi. from the b j pieces it was policies and faith in modi's leadership that secured the web. piers it's been an absolutely historic would it because after 971 went in there are ground he won no or a 2nd term with a robust majority i think after 48 years this is the 1st time

a sitting prime minister has been. through this before mintz and the zogby speaks about dogs are going to trust in the going to feed the implicit faith that people of the country have in our woman then don't let the prime minister know in them or the know there are 3 or 4 factors which are responsible and which bits are primarily responsible for this big tree number one you know there are those social empowerment schemes which have a great delivery mechanism and go under this government have reached was sections of the society which previously been deprived of it so whether it does you know the predominately housing scheme which reaches to the bridge from wades or low cost housing to the poor or who are the electrification all of these it had an impact which of the population get or what the issues which would previously come into play unfortunately the opposition you know somehow isn't that they walk it didn't realise that in the last by rio's the people of this country. have shown about it

a change in the way they think about issues trafford and stuff ansari is a senior political analyst he says the modi run a strong campaign but has much more work to do to win the confidence of india's minorities mr more than on his part says all the right things but. the fact is that right when it comes to reinforcing all or inning in some of the fringe elements within his party and his government mr modi has not been able to match his words with action so while mr modi says one thing the lankan fi does quite another and if you take the sisters doing his past 5 years of fizzy bread with targeted lynchings it happen where people have been you have lost their lives on suspicion that they've been carrying that they've been euro eating me for beef or transporting beef so all that doesn't lend itself to

a great amount of confidence amongst the minorities u.s. president on the trump says that he's meeting pentagon officials to discuss tensions with iran the u.s. has already sent extra warships and find the jets to the region over the past few weeks saying it's facing unspecified threats from tehran the acting defense secretary downplayed the possibility of war with iran but strongly defended the military buildup in the gulf. what to. discovering there's just so. i think those are there for commerce and you know our job is to trance this is about we have a mission abilities freedom of navigation. counterterrorism serious. security israel jordan the trumpet ministration is being accused of trying to bypass a congressional ban on weapon sales to saudi arabia there's concern that u.s.

secretary of state mike compared other senior aides may use a loophole allowing the president to approve the sale without the approval of congress with a proposal emerged publicly when democrat senator christopher s. murphy criticized it on twitter i am hearing that trump may use an obscure loophole in the arms control act and notice a major new sale of bombs to saudi arabia once they drop in yemen in a way that will prevent congress from objecting could happen this week he tweeted let's go live now to washington more on this al-jazeera as alan fischer is following developments these are 2 the saudis were previously put on hold why does it look like they they could be going ahead again that all of. us laws says that if you're going to go ahead with foreign arm sales you've got to give congress 30 days notice in that time congress can see ye or ne no you can sidestep that and it looks

as if that's the move this being considered by donald trump being pushed by might pompey or his secretary of state if you didn't clear the weapons sales and national emergency and then you can just go ahead and congress has not come back to it at all but the president does have to deliver a written justification for the decision under national emergency powers to congress at some point there's a very unusual step how unusual the last time this happened was back in the 1980 s. when normal reagan declared a national emergency so they could sell weapons to saudi arabia because of the perceived threat from iran. so what's been the reaction to this. well if there is a gap between donald trump and republicans in congress it's really over its relationship with saudi arabia and in particular the war in yemen you remember earlier this year there was bipartisan support for a measure that went through both the house and the senate that said the u.s.

should stop giving support to saudi arabia in the war in yemen but that was vetoed by donald trump and people like lindsey graham a republican senator who is a huge supporter of donald trump has said he doesn't want to see any more arms sales to saudi arabia until sodium deals with mohammed bin selman not least because of the role that lindsey graham believes he played in the death of the journalist jamal khashoggi but it's not just lindsey graham marco rubio a republican senator from florida has also his concern and there are many others on the republican side who would be very concerned if the white house were to take this side step and push through these arm sales and there are plenty of democrats who would oppose it as well so they may well be looking at their options but this is really going to cause another split between republicans in both the house and the senate and the white house over sodium arabia allen many thanks alan fischer
