louisa gonzales and her prize challenger daniel nibble are heading to a run off after they beat 6 other contenders and tropical storm hillary makes land fall and mexico had stored southern california. there are warnings of tried, his profit floods, and women make history at the football world, tops stainless the strongly for the 1st time beating england one. now the, we began in guatemala, where the anti corruption presidential candidate, bernardo, a raven low has won the run off election in a landslide victory. these are the scenes in the capital, guatemala city, where his supporters are celebrating his. why when
7:02 am
a raven lo is the son of the 1st democratically elected president, round against conservative candidates and former 1st lady sandra torres. well, manual rap hello is live for us in guatemala city. and mandy talk to us about this when it's a bit of a surprise for this outside are candidates, the good to be with you. kimberly. and as you mentioned there in your introduction, despite the fact that bill amount of the audio is the sort of got them all as 1st, democratically elected president, he is largely seen as a political outside are here in guatemala. for many, this was a, a surprise to see an idea of i'll come out of relative obscurity and the 1st round of voting that took place in june to, to sort of jump to become the front runner. and in terms of the polling that we saw in the lead up to this runoff election that took place on sunday. those numbers match very well with what we saw in the pulling ahead of a head of the election,
7:03 am
but still very much a surprise. and the party is still going on, we had to move away from the center of the constitutional plaza here in guatemala city, just to kind of way from a bit of that noise and uh at the, to be able to talk to you and talk a little bit about these big surprises, you know, there's a lot of challenges that lie ahead for the president elect bill. amount of the idea of although he was just congratulated by, i bought him on president, i had to jump it say via twitter. but, but again, a lot of challenges this has been a controversial election season more by allegations of, of election interference allegations of fraud. so the next couple of days will actually still be tell me, i want to bring a political analyst. this is, you have got, or these who's joining us here to help us sort of break down a little bit of what we might be able to expect over the course of the next few days. because they will be quite telly to share your thoughts on that. yeah, sure. so we're going to see 1st, i mean, we haven't seen some,
7:04 am
the thought is the rival it's you can see the name on his victory. so that tells you something that she was saying in the afternoon that she had some doubts about the web system in which the results are transmitted, which are not the official results by the way, which is very interesting thing to say. and uh, probably tomorrow or tuesday and the official hearing surgery official results will begin. and those curious are usually, uh, you know, a formality, uh sometimes uh, some objections can be brought but the, in the 2nd round in round of these objections are not important. so we'll see if we, if, when that body tries to, you know, boycotts of these hearings, that, that's a possibility. and also as we mentioned earlier, it is possible to see the problem to protect yourself is to bring charges against the members of the media. and uh, so that, that's the sort of things we can see in the following days. right. and then you, we talk about the sound, the thought as, who is, has
7:05 am
a lot of support from the conservative elements of guatemalan society saying that she's not going to be speaking this evening. she'd already failed to answer questions about whether or not she was going to respect the results of the election . how critical is this question over democratic institution, ality? in guatemala? how critical is this selection as a test of guatemalan democracy? well, it is that it's a huge step for our democracy because 22 months ago we were speaking how democracy was in pearl. and now i have no clue to democrats. candidates has won't be election, but the thing is signed up by now clause seating. she's trying to, to, to, you know, seed some doubts about the election. but at the same time, i don't see how something that i can have for the ability to actually say it's a water mile and people that the selection was stolen or that the selection is really mad. and given that, if we remember, 3 candidates were 3 serious,
7:06 am
i'm cavities were fired from running the race. i mean, and the 3 were candidates from the opposition. so who was responsible for dining, preventing those, those candidates was done. so it's very, very funny, very ironic to listen uh, something i thought is now claiming a fraud or you know, an equal raise when they were 5 of this uh, this uh, exercise of binding the rivals. so i, i don't see they're going to succeed. what i'm trying to say by bringing these narrative of fraud, but they will try the efforts by the judiciary, by the attorney general's office. the bar candidates was seen by many as election interference. it was seen by many as another example of the rapid corruption that exist. that's very imbedded here in guatemala and what are the things which happens to be the platform that bill amount of the was running on when it comes to the issue of corruption. when it comes to fixing these many challenges,
7:07 am
facing the country, this isn't something that this candidates that president select, i'm sorry, the envelope is going to be able to fix overnight, isn't that right now is at the end. the thing is, these said these a bar enough candidates have what's supposed to work for them because they know that the bell counting system is very, i mean works very good. i mean it's administered by volunteers so they can't just steal any election. they're not about counting is impossible due to correct because everything is on paper. everything is in the hands of volunteers. so they thought that they were fixing this election by banning the, you know, possible winners. and they never imagined that a low will be the president by now. and so he has this huge challenges. he's that, you know, he doesn't face a position only from congress, but from the uni. sure. are you from the portfolio executors office from, you know, organized crime? i mean, what am all that has a big influence of
7:08 am
a drug cartels and organized crime. we were not happy with that a by those election. so, you know, those are tough guys and get out of these. thank you so much for your time. political analysts. and again, the many challenges facing the country we, i've just been informed by my producer here that, that about, about a little has, is now speaking to the guatemalan people saying he accepts this electoral when with humility again and many challenges facing the incoming president. a part from the issue of tackling corruption, a struggle in economy poverty that sits summer at around 60 percent. of course, all of these are challenges that are being put on the table for now today. and right now, this moment is a moment of celebration, factory and studio. kimberly, that's right. then. then the hard work begins. all right, man, we'll wrap. hello. we appreciate you joining us there. live from guatemala city. thank you. okay. and turning to ecuador, where the left is the presidential candidate, louisa gonzales has taken in early lead there as votes are still being counted in
7:09 am
that presidential and parliamentary election. now former m. p. daniel, the book is coming in at a surprise. second place, the top electoral authority reported no violent incidents and describe the election there as both peaceful and safe. our latin america editor, lucy, a newman reports for us from quito. the doors will be going back to the polls for runoff election on the 15th of october, following a race that had surprising results. release of themselves of the left wing citizens revolution party did come in 1st as predicted, but by a far smaller margin than she had hoped. just 9 percentage points behind or was the surprising result and that is done in the war. he has a 35 year old businessman, the son of one of the richest men in this country, a banana magnate. and he has been a congressman in the past, but many see him as the anti politician. so they will be going back to campaigning
7:10 am
very, very shortly. the situation is the know most of the attendance it's the did not make it into the 2nd round. are expected to vote for this more conservative than in an oval. and that puts the, the candidate from the left wing party in a very, very difficult position for the run off. so far, not all of the votes had been counted, but off the record on officially. the officials from the electoral commission tell us that they are in reversible and that there will be a runoff election of more on this. how verify, hey, is a political analyst and he explains the kind of voters who supported the surprised, candid daniel navarre. the people, the young volt, volt full of people who are very unhappy with its political system make what they'll do the same franchise. he appeals to those votes in less than an hour ago. he give a press conference when he pulled about once again the young both he wants to appeal to young people. he's a young interpreter to say 5 years old,

but also he said that he was prepared to take the jump up in the hard line candidate who wants to implement hard forties in relation to crime control can, will security. so he's appealing to the young both of those, like he's appealing to the people who are fairly disappointed. i'm afraid because of the way a crime has gone in, in, in the quote, especially because of the presence of guns within the cortico work for the mexican drug cartels. so he's appealing to both the young people, those one, he talked about education for everybody. he took several chances, opportunities for everybody apprenticeship, but also he's appealing to the people who are afraid of the coming the security situation by saying that he will be prepared to talk to jump puppy issues related to security. that is the key of jesus, which i q reiterate to that less than an hour ago and a press conference, but he offered a chest to celebrate the many ways he's taking place in this election. the
