battling long time leader one cent he's been in power since 1985 and is one of the world's longest serving prime ministers rights groups and political opponents say he's repeatedly stifle dissent it's. is following developments from bangkok. this would appear to be a tactical move by the government in cambodia on 2 fronts one is that we know sam rainsy the acting leader of the cambodian national rescue party arrived back in the region on saturday flying into kuala lumpur the malaysian capital still vowing to return from exile to cambodia to lead an uprising against the government this would appear to be a move by the government in cambodia to take the wind out of the sails of sam rainsy and to call into question the relevance of any plans returned by him the other thing is the european union has been investigating the decline in democracy and human rights in cambodia and is threatening to withdraw or cambodia's tariff

free status for its goods that are exported to the european union it delivers its report to the government of cambodia on choose day one of the key demands of the e.u. is that kim should be released from house arrest and the charges against him should be dropped or seen one of those steps taken by the government he has been released from house arrest but still some severe restrictions remaining on him and the case against camps a car still stands or polling is underway in spain's general election prime minister petra sanchez has already cast his ballot in the country's 4th election in 4 years sanchez called for the latest vote after failing to rally enough support to form a coalition government but opinion polls suggest that it might not break the deadlock the elections come amid weeks of violent clashes between catalan separatists and police let's bring in her adopted home means she's joining us from barcelona from

what you've been seeing how is turnout ben hooda. well actually we've been at this polling station there are some of the university for the past few hours that i have to say there has been a steady stream of voters you can see from me it's quite hacked. early hours it's about noon here in barcelona so it seems that there is quite a significant turnout at least here we also heard from the interior ministry that elsewhere voting is good according to plan peacefully that all the polling stations are opened and operating but i think here in catalonia people feel that they have much at stake and maybe that's why we see such a large turnout so far yeah and what are these issues that are at stake talk us through some of them. well the main issue really is how to get out of this. crisis how to get. to solve it for

independence gap has picked up steam again over the past few weeks and ever since those 9. sentenced to jail by a court in madrid over several charges including sedition now a lot of people here were very angry about that they were handed sentences that went from 9 to 13 years and people think that that was way too harsh and ever since that you did see a sort of energy into this floor independents move certainly yes yesterday for example there was a big rally here in barcelona just outside this university dad is an issue that has paralyzed the country at least since 2017 that is one of the reasons the caretaker prime minister wasn't able to form a coalition back in following the elections earlier this year in april they

couldn't agree on a budget dysfunction is running in 2019 over the budget of 2018 still is certainly the dominant issue in the political stalemate of this country and i ask anyone if they think that after casting their ballots things will change many would tell you that they have little hope for dad because even though polls predict that sanchez and his socialist party would get a majority he still doesn't have that outright majority to be able to form a government alone you would still have to hold coalition talks and when it comes to the issues there is no meeting point at this stage ok thank you. they were going to zation of american states it's unlikely bolivian president evo morales secured enough votes in last month's election to win outright it's recommending a new vote helped accusations that murali rate the election count to secure a 4th term triggered widespread protests in bolivia on saturday police in several

love the feel was out in spite of its legal troubles and they say many here believe that he's the man to challenge joey was one of those precedences i was. says is the only one that can save brazil sposato is most afraid of the it's over because he is our representative he's our leader and this country will change flew real will. do to see them outside. but in the capitol. thousands marched through of any. to protest against their last release they condemned the supreme court's decision and are calling for a change in the law that would imprison those who lose their case in a 1st appeal was 1000000 people hear that even as there is so much impunity in brazil and we want things to change we are denouncing the decision so looking go back to prison. jade also maddow asked his followers on twitter not to give

ammunition to a man he called the scoundrel he also defended his minister of justice said your model as a judge led the carwash corruption investigation his impartiality has been questioned and that's why lula is requesting a retrial. brazil is polarized between those who love him and want him back in the presidency. and those who are angry with the corruption that happened while he was in office. he is planning his political comeback he's already. the biggest political rival. that is how will. the gamble brazil. at least 4 more people have been killed in violent protests against the government in iraq's capital clashes continued in baghdad on saturday night as demonstrators lit fires and threw petrol bombs they were met with tear gas and live ammunition for weeks people have been demanding better public services as

well as an end to corruption let's cross live to baghdad and speak to her about death toll continues to climb higher mode according to the human rights commission in the country. you know that's right and 1st let me start by mentioning that we are hearing from eyewitnesses that there are renewed clashes that are going on in an area on and around sinek bridge this is one of the bridges that leads from the area close to your square which is the epicenter of the protests here and by that that 2 other area other parts of the other heavily fortified parts like the green zone and government installations and these these protesters that were killed according to eyewitnesses on saturday a saturday evening that happened because you had to add up the security forces trying to clear those areas likes in that bridge like other bridges and to push the protesters from those areas that lead to other parts of it that back to square

tension we're told right now is rising and people are concerned there could be more clashes throughout the day in that violence that occurred yesterday over 100 people were injured now i should also mention to you there has been a statement that has been released just today by amnesty international they are urging it off the authorities to immediately rein in security forces after these protesters were killed on saturday let me just read you one sentence from the statement it says but dead and busted i have seen yet more bloody days of excessive force meted out against protesters and off the authorities must immediately order and into this relentless unlawful use of lethal force of course we should also mention that the government here officials have denied that any protesters were killed in bucket on saturday all that being said there are also still protests and clashes we were told going on in busta also in asia and also in nasiriyah which is south of baghdad we're told that there have been clashes throughout the day there are protesters that are taking up space and sitting in front of the education

building we are basically essentially right now waiting to find out if there's going to be any more violence throughout the day as you mentioned the protesters even though they have been targeted and they continue to say they are determined to come out day. after day that they want to ensure that their demands get met now you did have these statements that emerged from the prime minister's office that i've been mighty yesterday in which he promised that there would be some electoral reform and that all that would be made clear in the coming days also one interesting development you know the internet has been blocked several days the past few weeks over and over again in baghdad and other parts of iraq well yesterday just about a half an hour or so after the statement emerged from the prime minister you had the internet restored in about an hour after that it was cut again today it is running but it is a rather much slower speed than it usually is so this is interesting because you had the prime minister mentioned yesterday in his statement that the internet had

been blocked and that they were doing that because social media platforms had been used to incite violence here the fact that the internet keeps getting cut is one thing that's really irritated the demonstrators here and it's another reason they say they continue to come out because they don't believe the government is working for them or taking their demands seriously at all that in ok and how much jim thank you very much for that update from baghdad it's still ahead in just a moment on all the syria saudi aramco reveals details of its plans to sell shares highlighted risks including include terrorism and armed conflict 50 years and counting what's behind the global success of the children's show sesame street. hello welcome to another look at the international forecast was not looking too bad across japan at the moment we have got some right in the forecast that's moving out
