me w h, making a healthy a, won't you every one. 0 oh, stub will throw a so he so what i see then for a new era in columbia, one time rob gustavo petro is elected the 1st ever leftist president. ah, i know about this in, and this is all the 0 live from do have also coming up big games in funds for the fall. right. and the left wing alliance. why pose presidency?

manual macros majority in parliament. the was flooding in decades in bangladesh, leaves millions of people homeless. how's it there that we are being dictated as to what to do, what to say? how to act post for greater work place protection in america for the 1st time workers to the us. apple store vote to form a union. ah . all 3 years of conservative rule in columbia is to have its 1st left wing presidents, former gorilla fighter, and one time myrtle bo guitar. gustavo petro, as defeated the right wing populous rodolfo hernandez. petra was running late, fancy marquez will be columbia's 1st black female vice president teresa. both reports from bogota, yet the rain did not stop thousands of people from gathering outside group towel, peters headquarters, o economist and former left when guerrilla,

when the elections with just over 50 percent of the vote. it's anywhere in columbia the 1st time and left when candidate has won the presidency, i don't know why you're not, i want to cry. this is the 1st time we are going to have a popular government from the left, from the people of those who have suffered the armed conflict. and he is someone who represents us. the people on the streets. these people have been demanding change in this country, were liberals and conservatives have been sharing power for years. i agree with they believe that the beginning of change, these was petros 30 to presidential bid. he's now a seasoned politician whose victory at columbia to the list of latin american

countries, the have elected center, left precedence in recent years. on sunday evening, he was presented to his supporters by his running mate, france, jamarkis, who will be columbia's 1st, afro colombian woman vice president. locate we are writing a history right now. a new history for latin america. what is coming here is change real change in which we commit to life itself. we are not going to distant chantelle voters that have been screaming that from now on columbia changes. oh, petro defeated, 77 year old populous world for a man this who was referred by many as the king of tick tock. oh, but bit that a will face many challenges. 47 percent of the country did not vote for him. and only say, he will have to negotiate his reforms in congress for this is not only the 1st time that oliver and candy a dismal like that in columbia. but also the 1st time that we have op left when congress to because factory story got the social movement behind gustavo veteran

was able to elect arm a good number of congress members. so he will have our, a congress that is in favor of him, not a complete majority, hasn't harbor majority in congress, but he has a good number of congress members. and dad is also a something that the signs that he could harbor success in his turn. i saw peter will take off his in august for many, his government will empower the people in the country who have been ignored by authorities for years. but he said, well as a cedar border, elizabeth dickinson's a senior analyst with international crisis group. she says petros, when it changes the political landscape or cross latin america, we think this really is a decisive 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 columbia is an enormously unequal country,

with the lack of social mobility that has been started to great against the majority of colombians and what petro has pitched himself as, as a person, is as a person who can affect change to that inequality. i think the 2nd thing is we have to remember that when i was just freshly emerging from 50 years of civil war, there are enough civil war. the political left was really stigmatized as being somehow sympathetic to read your movements to really left us gorillas. and what petros victory demonstrates is that, that stigmatization and that sort of shadow pumps. it no longer dominates the common political space with it. 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 lions 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 continent. we have a left leaning president. now in china,

we have upcoming elections and been in brazil that stand to put a less leading, 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. vice president emmanuel macros, centrist alliances lost outright majority after a strong performance by rivals and parliamentary elections. the far right on a new left wing block made significant gains was sent back. could make it difficult for michael to push through reforms. latasha bottom reports from powers a day that seemed to start well for emmanuel mcgraw as he met supporters in northern france ended in disappointment by sunday evening. estimated results showed the french president sentries block, failing to secure a majority in the final round to france. his parliamentary elections, some of macros, top officials and ministers even lost their seats survey, that city with you. 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 consequence in, 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. so derailment of the president, spotty, is absolute, and we have achieved a political goal and less than a moms 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 left it you the ra before you. you'll be sure to see your ideas on immigration, security and unemployment defended in parliament. turn out who's lo,

reflecting in the electorate increasingly disillusioned by politics, fewer than half of those eligible cast pallets among those who did issues including inflation and climate change were on their minds. the protected results are a major set back for president micro. he wants to for, to head with his agenda that includes welfare and pension reforms as well as tax cuts. but to do so, his centrist lines needs to work with other parties that are unlikely to make the president's life easy. you will have to negotiate those missing seats together majority and the only party that seems available for that is the traditional right . the republican party which comes force in the, in the number of for sits but enough to produce a majority with mr. mccullough'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 st. protests is 2nd term is already shaping up to be very different. and so is the parliament more fragmented than ever, but perhaps a more accurate reflection of france? his political landscape? natasha butler, al jazeera, paris officials from the international monetary fund, or ensure a lanka for bailout talks. the government says it means at least $5000000000.00 from the i m f as well as really international community. a lack of. busy foreign currencies led to shortages of food fuel medicine that have been months of anti government protests as it struggles with its worst economic crisis since independence were for modern us. let's go to from al fernandez, was outside the primers office in columbia. were the meetings are happening, what are you hearing about what's happening at the talks middle

right now the focus is very much debt restructuring. i mean, it has been all the way in terms of all of those loans, a trill anchor has it has to a present, a proper credible proposal as to how it's going to pay back those loans. and that is the sort of vital thing in terms of these talks with the international monetary fund. obviously the fund does not provide monies to countries in trouble to pay off their debts. they're obviously loans and things like that. but it needs to 1st be assured that sri lanka has the proper plan to go forward. and what we're hearing one source of the prime minister's office told me a short while ago that debt restructuring. the sort of mechanism that trolanda is offering to adopt is very much a, one of the top priorities in this engagement with the i am if team now they are having talks in the building behind me,

the official office of the prime minister head and shall anchor we heard that the 1st set of meetings has concluded, but obviously there will be over the 10 days that this. so our country mission, i headed by peter brewer, the scene emission chief. obviously they would be talking to different parties. the central bank we had the governor is also at that meeting in the morning with some of his deputies. there's the security, the ministry of finance, as a prime minister. so all of these people trying to put their heads together and look for a way forward. but obviously she lanka is going to have to show that he does have a plan, you know, from the rear describing the sounds as through. this is a very complex process. and is not going to be rushed ultimately, does this mean do that? sure. line cause money. borders are over, at least in the short term i . 8 i think that's just being overly optimistic to be very fair. i mean the

situation in the country is daya. i mean, we've heard, obviously of, from the prime minister down, we've had the world food program or, you know, all of these people are, are putting it out there that food shortages are a very real concern. right now. the world food program has also said that it's indicated as some of the reports and research it has done, has shown that the crisis is ordered pinching people. it's affecting their ability to put food on the table, the kinds of food at the level of nutrition, you know, by going in for cheapest up the fuel cues we had the minister of energy, basically ask people, you know, motorists not to q for the next 3 days because the veteran is just not being distributed, but if you look at any of the fuel sheds around the country, particularly here around colombo, they're a shed. there are cues that stretch for kilometers, unit 3, deep. so it is very much a dire time for sure. lanka,

and even if the talks in there are, you know, make progress, it's going to be longer rather than the short term that very, some really well, thank you very much. indeed. minim fernandez, talking to us from colombo prototyping out in pakistan. i guess the rising cost of living the demonstration in islamabad was organized by support is a form of primary. so imminent con, there blending con successor slash honey crisis. fil subsidies were slashed recently under pressure from the i m f. but government trying to revive a $6000000000.00 below package. still, i had on al jazeera, ah, in protest as voice their discontent over the president's plans with a new constitution accusing, ty, side of a power, grab ah, coals for justice as americans observed june 10th holiday to commemorate the end of

harmed are hard during the flood as far as the military and navy goes there right now, very much concentrating and rescuing people who are in maryland. but people are also in desperate need for fresh water and food. i mean there is really a major challenge right now, particularly when you go into the sure i'm going to valley of the lead division. it is basically a lake area. a lot of the village are, are very remote just to reach them. itself is challenge whether many of the houses are filled. there is a question you got understanding contacted zillow, just select an indian, not just us experience, a major flood, just end of last month somewhere and may. so they're just recovered. when we have the 2nd wave of flood unit 7 warned in last may during the flood that at least 1500000 children in this lot affected areas are prone to via water burn disease as malnutrition and even drowning. so obviously every much challenging environment.

huge shuttle to atlanta because they prepared for a lot of the stuff that they were going to buy nearly 2 to one margin workers at the apple store and house in maryland boated to unionize the 1st apple store to take that step in may, these workers send a letter to apple, c e o. tim cook saying they had the support from a solid majority, adding they wanted more rights to information and collective bargaining for literally the face of apple. how is it fair that we are being dictated as to what to do? what to say? how to ask, what 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 in bold as a general proposition. and also because of the consequences. the fallout. so to speak of the pandemic, these maryland workers send 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 a 1st step for workers. now they have to try to negotiate, and when concessions from some of the richest and most powerful companies in the world. patty calhane al jazeera, washington celebrations and marches, had begun in the us to mock june teams the national holiday commemorating the end of slavery. it's the 1st time the days been a federal holiday after it was signed into law by president joe biden last year,

but has already been criticism because not all states have made it a paid day off. work. and corporations are accused of capitalizing on what should be a moment of remembrance. when come a kalani is the director of the center for african studies at johns hopkins university. he says, june 18th, isn't just about remembering slavery. it's also a political movement pushing for change. with the celebration, it was never simply about being pre it was now we are free, but we demand that freedom be more than simply being included and the society are freedom demands, equality are freedom, demand, the 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 that 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 of george 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 and becomes a part of the national conversation. i think if that is kept 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, what it is,

and then water them down and strip them of their ability to really transformed the society to really call 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 book. ah, this is artist, here. these are the top stories. gustavo petro has been elected columbia's 1st left wing president, ending decades of conservative rule. with nearly all the votes counted petros, one more than.
