the cut on parliament still go for independent these parties that means that colonia is not very great to move on without talking about. the kind of answer to action the thing is that seems 282017 before previously him 2017 all parties were sticking together but right now there are a lot of divisions because independent this movement here in catalonia it's a very diverse movement it comes from. her relation to the right so there are all types of in the brain that this party so that means that all these the visions have brought. different seats different parties drink now we have 93 parties at the capitol and parliament in final tomorrow to print this and then there are more than 50 percent of the suits but these men also that we have no

cattle in parliament and a stream stream right party that west not previously her presented here at the council on parliament but i don't think it's also a reaction to the fact that all these independent small men that want to do to get out from a strain. has been a reaction from the part of the. population that doesn't want these independents or preliminary results in kosovo's election suggest they will be a major political change but victory for the anti establishment of that party now early vote counts give the left wing party led by former prime minister alvin kirti just over 46 percent of the votes he's fighting he's promising to fight corruption but also to take a hard line in relations with serbia the semi autonomous region of kosovo declared its independence in 2008 it doesn't recognise that. now a day after donald trump's acquittal and his 2nd pietschmann trial politicians are

the question is what is the republican party going forward is this the party of trump ism or is a party of more moderate people moderate people like out of kinzinger for instance who who voted that he was guilty so there are swirling questions here and there's no doubt that trump still casts a long shadow over the republican party but it's important to remember i think in the time that trump was president many people have now left the republican party in record numbers in states like arizona or in georgia which both flipped blue so while he does still loom large there's also the fact that criminal charges may be coming is why there's also a couple of investigations already being opened in new york and that one in georgia after that hour long phone call with broad reference to the republican secretary of state when trump asked for a specific number of votes there are all sorts of questions swirling meanwhile trump staying very quiet here in florida and the former president of argentina carlos menem has died at the age of 90 his casket has arrived at the national
