opinions, national communities on the go with create a government does no legitimacy in depth analysis of the days global headlines. this is going to be very hard for people to explain to the public that instead of pushing back, no, it's actually got 2 members inside story on al jazeera. ah 1st of all. 2 0, i see, i see them for columbia. shes in a new iraq, a one time rebel. gustavo petro is elected the 1st to have a leftist president. ah, i'm about this, and this is out here, alive from doha. also coming up the gains in france

for the fall right on the left wing alliance, removed president to my you're microns majority in parliament. the was flooding and decades and bangladesh leaves millions of people homeless. how is it fair that we are being dictated as to what to do, what to say, how to act a push for greater workplace protection in america for the 1st time workers at a u. s. apple store vote to form a union? ah, years of conservative role does know a left wing president in columbia who was that through a former gorilla at one time marrow bogota has won a clear majority over the right wing populace. hold all for hernandez, was nearly all the votes counted petros, one more than 50 percent against 47 percent for his rival is considered defeat the

president elect has promised will change the story. this history that we are writing at the moment is a new history for columbia, for latin america, for the world news story, because undoubtedly what has happened to day with these 11000000 voters, men and women who voted to bring us to this stage and bring us to the presidency is a change. what is coming now is real change. we will not betray the voters who have cried out today that from today. columbia is changing. was wanting, made fancy. a mock has become columbia as 1st black female vice president. she's a single mother and environmental activist who's challenged mining companies in the whole region. you're all good. i said, i want to thank all colombians who have given their life for this moment. all our brothers and sisters who have unfortunately been killed in this country, men to the youth who have been killed and disappeared to the women who have been raped and who are disappeared to all of them. they are with us in this historic

moment. now here we give them, thanks. thanks for having taken the path. thank you for planting the seed of resistance and hope that by theresa ball has more from bo guitar. well, it's definitely a historic day for many people in columbia. we were just bear with double paper weighs, and there were thousands and thousands of people taken to the st showing up here to show their support thing that this is the time for real change in columbia for profound reforms that will improve people's lives in this country. a country that has read at war for many, many years have been to a peace agreement, was signed with the left wing, reveled the fark conflict continued to affect many, many parts of the country. listening to the president elect. the book that we'll get there with very, very interesting method, talking about leaving hate behind how. why, how important, what change means right now is leaving hate behind it. the other thing that he says

is that this is going to be a government of feet. and that piece means in this country, or social justice and environmental justice and speed. there has been speaking of the reforms that he wants to implement, how it's necessary to rethink environmental policies to we think oil and gas exploitation in columbia to put an end to fracking for example. i think that one of the most interesting phrases i have heard is that a huge because they will not use the president won't use his power to put an end to destroy the opponent. so we will have to listen and see how he implement many of the reforms. elizabeth dickenson is a senior analyst who has an international crisis group, and she says petros, when changes the political landscape across latin america leaking is really into this cited moment. i would point to 2 things specifically. the 1st one is really the extent to which day to day bread and butter concerns dominated this election campaign. a columbus, an enormously unequal country,

with the lack of social mobility that has been started to great against the majority of what that means and what petrol has pitched himself as, as of course, is as a person who can affect change to that inequality. i think the 2nd thing is we have to remember that when i'm is just freshly emerging from 50 years of civil war, turned up civil war. the political left was really stigmatized as being some post sympathetic video. movements to really left is guerrillas and what catches victory demonstrates is that that stigmatization at that sort of shadow pumps. it no longer dominates the come in political face with one of the most interesting things that came out of his acceptance speech tonight was actually just mentioned that columbia needs to see itself as a latin american country 1st. which would be a shift, frankly, because the most important bias for columbia, for so many years has been to the united states that in many ways it has neglected these regional relationships. we have to think about what's happening here tonight in columbia, in the context of the rest of the continents. we have a left leaning president now and she may,

we have upcoming elections and been in brazil. it's done to put a left leading, a left leaning president in power. i think there's a real potential that the regional alliance could be reactivated in a way that could benefit the region to combat precisely things such as deforestation. and other challenges under projections indicate president munger mccall has fallen short of an outright majority in france, his parliamentary elections after a strong performance by rival parties. the final result could see macros, health and environment ministers losing their seats. and it means he could struggle to push through reforms. natasha battle reports from paris. the day that seemed to start well for emmanuel, my craw as he met supporters in northern france ended in disappointment by sunday evening. an estimated results showed the french president's sentries block, failing to secure a majority in the final round of france, his parliamentary elections, some of macros, top officials, and ministers even lost their seats, where the dro,

through this situation represents a risk for our country. given the challenges, we have to face both at national and international levels. but we've got to respect this vote, andrew, the consequences. as you know, there was celebrations at the headquarters of a new left wing alliance that is emerged as the main opposition. the block that includes the far left greens, communists and socialists has galvanized, voters fed up with the macros, policies ship, you know, it's a totally unexpected situation. one never seen before. the derailment of the president spotty, is absolute, and we have achieved a political goal and less than a month celebrations also for the fall, right? marine, the pens party projected to win 10 times more seeds than it previously held. it set to become a significant parliamentary force, was already less checked it. you'd be wrong before you. you'll be sure to see your ideas on immigration. security and unemployment defended in parliament. turn out

was low reflecting in electorate increasingly disillusioned by politics. few than half of those eligible cast ballots. among those who did issues including inflation and climate change were on their minds. the projected results are a major set back for president mcgraw. he wants to fall to head with his agenda that includes welfare and pension reforms as well as tax cuts. but to do so, his century lines needs to work with other parties that are unlikely to make the president's life easy. we'll have to negotiate those missing seats together majority and the only a party that seems available for that is the traditional right. the republican party, which comes force in the number of seats, but enough to produce a majority with mr. michael's party. it's a very big surprise because the republicans did very badly in the presidential election only 2 months ago. and they come out as a king,

maker of the political situation in france. in 2017 macros party won a parliamentary majority in a landslide that enabled the president to push through often controversial reforms . at times in the face of street protests, his 2nd term is already shaping up to be very different. and so is the parliament more fragmented than ever? perhaps a more accurate reflection. the francis political landscape. natasha butler, al jazeera paris. more than 200 people have reported the been killed in ethiopia and an attack in the automobile region. witnesses say the victims belong to the i'm ha, ethnic group. the aroma liberation on he's been blamed for the attack, but it says it's not involved. independent journalist, son, or get a sure has more from out of some of us in this particular gender region, which we can't access because it's become more off limits. the joke and government

d min business is the continent shipping lines and access to reserve budget one little andy terminal it as our so constricted in the sense that there's 63000 square meters of storage unit is available. importers, an export to say, doing business here is becoming more expensive. officious, as much as 20 percent of the cargo meant for the gambia is being diverted to the west african ports. if you ask the government businessman, they're allowed to have their containers come through neighboring ports for cost, timeliness and things of that sort. but as i keep seeing, the abilene gumby and customer, we lose job opportunities and the taxes that we supposed to pay for. the taxman in 2019 the ports oppression a loss of succeeded $200000000.00. and while no recent figures are publicly available, economists say that amount has only increased the is prashant wendell port. the government wants to open another in the south of the country to some parts of synagogue and landlocked miley moment. countries not ports development is expected

well, we don't get anything, any of the things that are happening in our everyday life. apple has yet to publicly respond, but they did recently, res, hourly wages from $20.00 to $22.00. this is just the latest massive company to see its workers move to unionize. what amazon warehouse in new york did the same recently as your employees restore books and buffalo voted unionize. more than $150.00 of the company own stores have now voted to follow suit. given the tight labor market analyst expect this to continue a labor shortage. workers are emboldened to as a general proposition. and also because of the consequences will follow to speak of the pandemic, these maryland workers and a message to try and make sure that happens. don't be scared because it's scary and that's ok. but don't be realised that if we can do it, you can do it. but this is just

freedom demand equality, our freedom demand, that transformation of the political, economic and social system of the united states, which still hasn't happened. i think this is why you had the black power movement coming on. the hills of the civil rights movement by people are full citizens. but then as a demand at the society transform at a more fundamental level, i think this is the same thing that came out of the black lives matter movement. where the demands were that the society transform at a more fundamental level than mere inclusion. which is why you had culminating particularly after the murder choice floyd in 2020, not only a national, but a global series of protest. but then this radical demand for the funding and abolishing police and abolishing the prison system, which has been a long demand and the long objective of black radical movements. but i think this is a sign of how that takes on a national book becomes a part of the national conversation. i think if that is in focus in acknowledging

june 18th and celebrating it. if that becomes part of the conversation that i think it can have some value nationally. but i think what it does also point out is that this is the practice of the united states of the federal government states and local government is to knowledge and take something that like people have done cultural practices, political ideas. and then one of them down and strip them of their ability to really transformed the society to really calling the question some of those long held assumptions that we have and make it something that is merely a celebration, as opposed to a political ah, this is, are the 0, these are the top stories after decades of concern.
