10:18 pm
challenge the governing conservative party seats in next month's general election in a significant boost for prime minister boris johnson for irish said that his aim was to stall and he breaks apart he's winning that the sum of vote he says the move would hopefully prevent another referendum and make a hung parliament much less likely johnson has welcomed the situation saying he's glad that there is recognition that only his party can get rex at the un paul brennan has more now from central. this is an extraordinary u. turn by nigel farage who on november the 1st when he launched the bricks of party campaign said that boris johnson's bracks it deal was not rex it's a tall and he vowed to stand his party candidates in all $650.00 seats across the u.k. now he's saying that boris johnson's deal is close enough to that he will do a deal whereby he won't compete against the conservatives it's an extraordinary
10:19 pm
setback and you turn for the bracks of party the reaction has been across the spectrum boris johnson the prime minister said he was glad that there was a recognition there's only one way to get done and that was a vote for conservatives but the labor leader jeremy corbyn said that it was a pact between nigel farage and boris johnson and it was a pact with donald trump's backing and that the trump alliance was thatcherism on steroids meanwhile the lib dems leader joe swinson said the conservative party is effectively the bracks it party now they are out the arithmetic is going to be intriguing if the party contests against labor seats it may be that they split the vote in those seats and give labor a better chance of holding on to some of those marginals that would otherwise have been threatened so the impact on the election could be profound but the contradiction in nigel farage his position was probably best summed up by one
10:20 pm
commentator who said well look if boris johnson's deal really is brecht's it then frankly the bracks of party shouldn't shouldn't be standing in any seats at all. spain's socialist party says it will act fast at the former government after winning the most seats in sunday's parliamentary election the leader paid a sanchez had hoped that the vote which was the 2nd this year would break the country's political that bloc but with the far right vox party more than doubling its support for the country appears more fragmented than ever before joanna hall has more from madrid this is the final resting place of francisco franco the spanish generals memory well tended despite his often brutal one party rule that ended with his death more than 4 decades ago he's been here in a private family tomb for less than a month franco's final journey began in october when the socialist government ordered the former fascist leaders remains removed from
10:21 pm
a grand more the live in madrid famous valley of the forward it's easy of course to see parallels here the memory of franco does all moved in the view of many and then less than a month later the country's 1st far right party in parliament since his death war that doubles its count becoming spain's 3rd largest political force but the reality owes more to post economic crises disaffection with mainstream politics and the threat posed to spanish unity by catalonia his drive for independence it's still early to say which sort of far right we have here because. initially it was a splinter group from the people's party and its leaders came from the people's party it was more of a hard right than a far right party but now we're beginning to see some elements within vox that perhaps have some. some nostalgie form of franco's symes sunday's election
10:22 pm
result will only deepen the concerns of the far right with socialist leader pedro sanchez force now to consider a friend john alliance of the left that might even include cattle and probably independence parties. that's an ugly prospect across large swathes of sprain particularly as they watch separatist protesters blocking roads and even the border with france in the north west on monday and as disaffection with politics increases amid signs of economic slowdown in spain so the list of grievances will likely grow there my hopes will help us by stopping benefits for people who don't deserve it i don't think it's normal that people come from abroad to live on state benefits i myself have worked abroad but i didn't go there to commit crimes and live on benefits it's not that the vox party was created in the m.b. to franco and what he stood for but in a country with a living memory of fascist rule the party's popularity could yet unleash sinister

this is the opinion of outlawed rebels who have always taken up the issue of the cambodian government came so because case is under the control of the courts so it's not relevant. the developments come in the middle of an important holiday in cambodia the annual water festival. politics is absent as crews in boats from around the country converge on the capital to mark the end of the whip season when the tunnel asap river changes direction even if the government is able to appease the european union there are big. question marks over whether they'll be any significant space in the short term for the cambodian national risk party prime minister gordon sin has tried very hard to destroy the threat posed by the opposition that undoing the damage completely now seems unlikely. still the members of the band party see the international pressure and attention as an opportunity to try to restart their political careers and resume a campaign to change this country's direction. phnom penh.
