central parts of vietnam as we go into the middle part of the weeks of the flooding problems coming in here still quite a legacy of showers coming back in across the philippines although the winds will ease more heavy downpours coming in and then just notice offshore there we have yet another developing thai food that's likely to feed its way towards northern parts of luzon for the 2nd half of this week elsewhere across southeast asia well it is a case of sunshine and showers some lively showers now showing their hand across a good part of indonesia some lively showers moving away from the eastern side of australia massive pile storms just around breastbone recently things have quieted down as we go through the next couple of days warming up nicely adelaide 31. think of some of the biggest companies in the world today all of the big tech with algorithms that they call them all that we use them the more data we produce we're

a 1000000 people have been forced to leave their homes. police in hong kong have arrested 7 pro-democracy politicians on charges related to a legislative council meeting more than 5 months ago the group is accused of contempt and obstructing a session. also the turkish president visited earlier one has visited the site of a collapsed building in the city of his near following friday's powerful earthquake at least 51 people were killed. an election is taking place in moldova were voters are deciding between candidates who favor closer ties with either the e.u. or russia president igor dawn is the moscow frontrunner hoping to win a 2nd term so you go you go has more from the capital which is not. a last minute quest to chase every possible vote the frontrunner and current president eagled on hold over is

a country of traditional values and should remain within russia's sphere of influence a populist championing family and strong ties with other nations now don has been leading in the polls despite not having taken part in any debates what he has is the support of the country's mass media heavily backed by members of his own party the socialists as well as a ringing endorsement from russia's president vladimir putin. following closely is the former prime minister meyer sandow who wants to shift away from russian dominance we're trying to unite people of course we share the values because we believe in democracy we believe in human rights we believe in economic opportunities for everybody and we do see the european model of development as the most suitable from all over what's at stake 2 different visions for moldova's future voters opt for change and decide if they want stronger ties with the west or

with a stick with what they already have and remain under moscow's influence. but many here are skeptical that either candidate can improve their lives. personally i don't believe any of the candidates their actions important for the young people and put those who in the better future for themselves for america to this moment if the people come to power and not corrupt and won't be traitors who bring the country down then we have a chance to do something good for. the sometimes bitter campaigns have been fought amid allegations of potential voter fraud and russian interference one place of concern say election observers is the breakaway region of transnistria an area recognized as an independent state by russia but not moldova and a bedrock of support for don it has been beset by allegations of vote rigging in favor of the socialist party of course russia would do whatever it takes to make

sure that secure and continue their. influence over population and over over the leadership of this country there is also the question of the economy and migration moldova is one of the poorest countries in europe with a population of 2700000 people more than a 1000000 have emigrated for work and their remittances account for 16 percent of the nation's g.d.p. but the country is betting on is strong alliances with other nations willing to support it with a light to the east or west is what the people will decide. joins me now. i mean often we talk about what's at stake for these former soviet nations in 2020 i mean what seems to be the main issue considering you know we're talking normally about the economy you mentioned migration in your report health and of course 19 has become really a global issue. yes

and really when we talk about east versus west that very much counts here because when you consider that moldova is a former it's an x. state as well it's still wrestling very much with those other issues that other former soviet states ex soviet states would have in this day and age but really what is the main thrust of people's concerns is in fact the economy issues such as migration corruption as well is also another really important issue one of the reasons why so many moldovans feel they have to leave the country and try and find work elsewhere or simply there aren't enough opportunities here or that simply corruption is too endemic in the system for them to be able to establish successful businesses to be able to conduct without any into for their businesses about any interference a toll and that brain drain has been very damaging for the country because of

course it is mainly young people who are leaving the country therefore you have here an aging population not as able to work therefore contributing far less to the economy and it is inevitably the younger generations who are working abroad who are contributing to the moldova an economy so together that as well as trying to look forward to what kind of country does want to be does it still want to continue under the influence of moscow or does it see itself as being part of an integrated of a closer integration with the european union and all the values that that represents . family but events through the day certainly those results for the french is not for the moment thank you. well voting is also underway in algeria in a referendum on whether to rewrite the constitution if past the political system would be reformed jury and troops would be allowed to fight abroad for the 1st time since the one $960.00 s. the new government says it's responding to demands from the testers our senior

correspondent who says the deciding factor in algeria is referendum is voter turnout those who talk to the streets last year and toppled president idolizes both of you say that the new political establishment is the continuation of the old establishment they have hijacked the demands of the people they managed to take over and they stole our dreams and the biggest concern today why today's a critical moment for the jury is that voter turn out if you see a higher voter turnout this is going to be good news for the for president i've been busy to board if you see a very low turnout voter turnout this is going to just further deepen the political crisis why people are not happy with the constitution the reforms because ultimately huge powers will stay with the president he has the right to sack the prime minister the government he has absolute say over the judiciary and people are saying this is not the kind of president we need in the near future we want

a strong independent judiciary we want a strong prime minister and we want a prime minute a president who should go after 2 terms and people don't believe that this is something that could happen in the near future if they vote yes for this constitution one last thing here president is in germany where he's being treated we don't know exactly where he's suffering from but many people think that could be he contracted coronavirus a few days ago and this is raising many concerns about the future of the country. well police in ivory coast are fired tear gas at protesters following saturday's election they're angry over the president running for a 3rd term there have been rallies in the economic capital abidjan and several towns and interests has more president a lesson or terra cast his ballot hoping it will help keep him in office for another 5 years he sounded upbeat and optimistic about the democratic process in

a united front against ouattara something observers say could peeved the way for the president's throat. while voting was largely peaceful in many parts of the country there were reports of dozens of incidents including ballot snatching and destruction of the vote at least. wherever the votes of register was destroyed a new one was printed to replace it the election process has been largely peaceful at the beginning people were a bit hesitant but later people went out to vote the result is expected within 3 days more than $35500.00 security personnel were mobilized for saturday's election i had of the vote the united nations called for calm and for those who voted pieces to belittle were the major factors. hopefully the situation will be resolved so that things can go back to the way they were before. ivory coast was plunged into
