6:03 am
is 1st democratically elected president. he is. he was still seeing here in guatemala as a political outside or is it sort of dark horse who came out of relative obscurity ahead of the primary elections back in june to become the front runner in this runoff election leading in double digits. in fact, these uh, these uh, scores that we're seeing here reflect very much the polls that we're seeing in the run out in the run up to the run off election. today on sunday, we've now heard from guatemala as president how they handle gemma. they. we took the twitter to congratulate president elect read them out of the audio. of course, what we're hearing from political analysts. listen, those fireworks people are really, are really celebrating right now. but what we're hearing for political analyst that experts here is that there are challenges, legal challenges, apart from the governance challenges for the president elect. the next few days will be very telling and the get a better sense of what all that means. i want to bring in a political analyst,
6:04 am
if god or these who's joining us here today. i've got to take you so much for taking the time to speak to us today. this is a bit of controversial election even before the primaries. what are your initial observations? based off of what we're hearing right now. well good. i have. well, we'll see now is that that a one a one because this election was a referendum against the system. so name that's on the phone and she represents the old system. the old one of the go far is, and the from 70, you know, they, they represent this young party that was born in 2015 when the protest movement took place right here in this a central park we have in our backs. so there's hope for people that, that they want to can do things different. thank you. can't fight corruption because we, we leave this a short period right from 2015 to 2019. uh would you say, i think corruption, the 5, and that was so completely these articulated by german phase governments. so right now there's hope there also challenges for, i don't know. you mentioned the public
6:05 am
a particular as office will try to attack dave on this party and also probably only we'll try some legal charlie sions to these that results. although i don't think they are going to succeed in challenging the results, but they will gain some time. maybe they will try to, to, to seed some doubts about the elections if they can, that we were noticing something, something that raise eyebrows this morning was the more conservative candidates found that those who certainly um, has the backing and support from the more conservative elements of guatemalan society when asked by a local reporter here this morning, if she would respect the results of today's election, she didn't answer that question. in fact, just moments ago, a hard time paying announce that they wouldn't they be canceled their speech for this evening. how should we be reading into this? well, 1st of all, the very is very funny to say to consider a sign that i can survey because she completely changed her bully because the
6:06 am
position over the years she used to be think or they used to be. i left as far as i mean she, she gets photos with feeling capital with the child is, but all from the sudden she is now a conservative, but the thing is, she knew she was going to lose. i mean, she always lives in, in run up from del seems 2015. no matter who is the candidate. you are the only positive candidates. she went always lose. so she knew she's going to this. and she now is trying to save doubts about the election. she's trying to not concede and to claim that, you know, there are so many consistencies in the system or that some electro boards. they are the ones who can develop the votes that they are members of send me uh or they are members of, uh, you know, the conspiracy of whatever. uh so she would try to fly the election because she's incapable of winning in the falls and get it. there are so many challenges that the incoming president is going to chase a be, be faced with when it comes to the economy when it comes to climate change when it
6:07 am
comes to poverty, which stands at 60 percent right now, we're sitting crime. there are so many of these challenges that for the most part, many people, the greek cannot be fixed overnight, isn't that right? so it is right then that it was a big challenge because people has really high expectations about what they want to can do as president. but the thing is, if the government of what am i like, you know, you think about it as a car, we are cars with no tires, with no gasoline. and. 5 you know, a running, you know, driving this car is very hard. so for him to deliver results in a short term, it will be very difficult. and people who would be very impatient and you will have congress. i mean, we have to speak that later. but congress, he has a minority congress, the only $23.00 congressman over $160.00 so it will be very hard for him. they will have to be very, very creative in order to bring some tangible results in the 1st 3 or 4 months in order to gain over natalie. because it will be very hard to govern these country
6:08 am
with all the positions they are going to face. and, and get any concerns over the coming days. yeah, absolutely. i think we may see some action from the public receptors office. i mean, as i mentioned the earlier, what do you mean to send me a basis? uh, you know, a very dubious case about the attorney general rock. they wrote charges arguing that back in 2018 when they were conforming to party. they include its own faults, says signatures over to the members of the party, and they turned the scales in that whole scheme of organized crime. and they, they are coming out for some members of the in the end, the following days. probably if god or these. thank you so much. political analysts are in guatemala, a lot of celebrations taking place here in the city, in the, in the town square, but also to other parts of guatemala city. a lot of challenges taking place. all of that tables for now. now is the time for celebration. kimberly back to you. that's right and celebration, but tomorrow the hard work begins. all right,

6:28 am
to stay relevant and you know, this versioning field of everyone wanting to go to the moon. china has a lender on the far side of the moon. the united states has been to the moon countless times and are planning missions to go back. but in terms of other countries, you know, access to space is more readily available than it's ever been in history. so now all of these countries are trying to do the impossible to do the great things of, of getting to the moon. and they're realizing that it's more difficult than what they expect in spain has been in england to win the women's football world cup for the 1st time, fan secured and when no victories to take home, the trophy and sydney, australia, they are this 5th nation to hold the title and have now become the 1st country to win. both the women's and men's world caps full, renee washington,

6:30 am
the overall balance on and off the field. so now we're seeing more and more teams players that are providing the necessary everything from waiting rooms to stay beyond the training to, to of course i'd be solved with the world called the overall experience of being a to full time professional athlete that you now can play the sports you love, provide for your family and mother, you're in season or adults even be a full time year round soccer player. the you're watching out 0. these are the top stores of this. our celebrations in guatemala, is congressman bernardo era. raven, a raven low wins the presidents are run off the center less candidate ran on a platform of anti corruption. a raven low was on the ballot with conservative candidates. sandra torres, boat counseling is also underway in equities presidential primary elections.
