necessarily with guns, with saw videos of polling stations being attacked by unknown activists from one side or the other, voting being shut down in oaxaca at one point, so sporadic elements of electoral intimidation or violence but by and large this has been an election day that is passed off peacefully and most voters turned out because they were angry about a variety of things or very much behind president manuel lopez obligor. find or very much behind president manuel lopez obligor. and you will be waiting _ manuel lopez obligor. and you will be waiting to _ manuel lopez obligor. and you will be waiting to see - manuel lopez obligor. and you will be waiting to see how - manuel lopez obligor. and you | will be waiting to see how much of his support he is hanging onto? , ., , onto? he is in a very unassailable - onto? he is in a very. unassailable position, certainly as president, because there is only one term of office of six years but also in terms of, i think, that grants will support at the state

level, the local level, but this will be the litmus test because of course since the point that he came into office there has been the coronavirus pandemic, 230,000 mexicans have lost their lives during the pandemic at least and i think the referendum that you mentioned will be very much on how he was seen to handle that and all eyes, really, in terms of mexico watchers, are looking at the congress and the boat there to see if he retains the majority of two—thirds of the parliament. majority of two-thirds of the parliament.— majority of two-thirds of the parliament. �* ' . parliament. and the difference beinu parliament. and the difference bein: if parliament. and the difference being if he _ parliament. and the difference being if he loses _ parliament. and the difference being if he loses two-thirds i being if he loses two—thirds but keeps a majority, how much of an impact does that have on him rolling out his own programme? i him rolling out his own programme?— him rolling out his own programme? i think it 'ust makes matters * programme? i think it 'ust makes matters a i programme? i think it 'ust makes matters a lot h programme? i think itjust| makes matters a lot harder programme? i think itjust - makes matters a lot harder for him. this is a very ambitious programme that he calls the fourth transformation of mexico, he put that on a par with hectic and independence and he says that he wants nothing less than the root and branch redrawing of the political landscape in mexico,

the social landscape, basically to break the stranglehold of the traditional parties. it does look like to some extent moorina has managed to do that over the years but whether he will be able to push forward with the social reforms, pension reforms, things like that, that very much depends on how his turnout has been today. —— morena. how his turnout has been today. -- morena-— -- morena. that is will grant there. polls have closed in peru's run—off presidential election, which offered voters a stark choice between candidates of the left and right. the conservative keiko fujimori, the daughter of a jailed former president, has promised to follow the free market model introduced by her father. her socialist rival pedro castillo, who's the son of peasant farmers, advocates a stronger role for the state to ensure wealth is shared more widely.

the royal family. daniela relph, bbc news. human rights experts have raised concerns over a billion—dollar tourism project on the indonesian island dubbed the �*new bali'. more than 200 families have been forced to move to make way for resorts and an international grand prix motorcycle circuit. the project is part of a push by the indonesian government to create a new international tourism destination. bbc indonesia's valdya baraputri went to south lombok, to take a look at the controversial development. the beaches of south lombok have long attracted tourists, particularly surfers. but now the indonesian government wants mass tourism here. i'm standing on a decades long plan of the indonesian government of turning this area into a luxurious tourism complex.

they will be in temporary settlements without means of livelihood, without an ability to make a decent living and that is just not acceptable. the state owned developer insists they have paid their compensation and says the un critics have failed to show evidence of land grabbing. translation: it's an attempt to give indonesia a bad name. | we paid the locals as much as we could, even though the tourism industry is experiencing a slump at the moment. a total of us$96 million has been paid to the locals to fulfil their rights. developers have built this new village around two kilometres from the project. but families like erni's say there is no land to farm there. translation: there isjust a space at the new case. . it is difficult to get across.

—— it is difficult to get grass. honestly, i'm really upset. we have no power. we will have to move. we have no voice because we are just poor people. surfing instructor damar�*s only hope now is he will be able to get a job in this new world of mass tourism. translation: god forbid, when the construction's . finished we only become respected in our own home. jakarta says it is about bringing economic development. but locals fear it will only benefit a few at the top. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: two tennis legends depart from the french open, are we seeing the end of an era in tennis?

so, this is the new house. ok, but no bombs, and no shooting. and the generosity abundant. as usual, lunch! at 7a, they're making a new home. the old one is lost forever. translation: we will never get back. - we believe that pesky is almost destroyed. everything is ruined or burned. only the chimneys are left standing. our house burned down. there is no roof. but the bond between them is as strong as it's ever been in their more than 50 years of marriage. what makes you happy? what's the secret to being happy? translation: how could i not be happy with such a wife? _

go away from here. she needs to go everywhere. but even away from the front line, life is hemmed in by the war. i'm on my way now to meet a woman i met seven years ago, early in the conflict, when she was one of the wounded carried across the front lines, on a day when her grandchildren were killed beside her. translation: i don't know how i'm going to survive this. - the images of them are in front of my eyes. six—year—old karolina, and nikita — aged 12 and disabled, were killed by a long—range shell. translation: even though seven years have passed, . i still feel like they're next to me. i cry often and deeply. it's very hard, but that's what it is with me. they're always next to me.

does make it look as if he was using it as a bit of a warm—up. well, i would say that is about roger —— i will say this about roger —— i will say this about roger federer. he has essentially earned emeritus status in the atp tour and the grand slams. he has done so much for both the tours and the grand slams and that was his decision and certainly there was a lot of conversation, especially on social media, because he didn't have a specific injury that prevented him from carrying on in paris. but that was his decision and if that is what helps him move forward to compete, especially at wimbledon, where he is probably going to have much better chances of potentially winning the title, that was his decision and he has kind of earned that right to make that case. . ., ., , case. fair enough, then. he has done enough — case. fair enough, then. he has done enough to _ case. fair enough, then. he has done enough to be _ case. fair enough, then. he has done enough to be allowed - case. fair enough, then. he has done enough to be allowed a . done enough to be allowed a little bit of an art there. is it a smart move? do you see him

she is certainly on, i don't want to say an easier position in roger federer, it is depends on how she is physically and she certainly has the will. again, she has been very consistent. she has been reaching the semifinals of grand slams for the last couple of years as well, so she has still been in the mix. $5 of years as well, so she has still been in the mix. as you ut it, still been in the mix. as you put it. eric. _ still been in the mix. as you put it, eric, never— still been in the mix. as you put it, eric, never say - still been in the mix. as you | put it, eric, never say never. maybe they both have one last shot at glory, or more than one, let's not write them off. have to stop there, good to see you. let's you show you some pictures that've come through in the last hour or so. this is us vice president kamala harris touching down on what is her first official overseas trip since taking office. she arrved in guatamela a little delayed after a techinical fault initially forced her aircraft to turn back. ms harris is expected to announce steps to try

to lower migration into the us from central america. ms harris will also visit mexico on tuesday. white house officials say the vice president will emphasize cooperation with ngos. hello there. last week was the first week ofjune but it was also half term and the weather could not have been better. we quite literally had sunshine topping and tailing the country — as you can see by this weather watch picture sent in, from fyfe, all the way down to cornwall, not a cloud in the sky, light winds, lots of sunshine. the warmth peaked on wednesday and in fact it was the warmest day of the year so far across scotland, northern island, wales and also into england. 0ur week ahead will be a little bit more mixed, unfortunately. particularly into the far north and west as we see weather fronts just toppling in across an area of high pressure.

that's going to bring some cloud and increasing, strengthening wind at well at times, and this further south in the east will keep warmer, drier and sunnier weather. so let's take a look in a little more detail then. monday morning, it starts off a little on the cloudy side with some mist and fog shrouding the coast. that will thin and break, we'll see some sunshine developing but into the afternoon, we could have a few sharp showers, particularly to the east of the pennines, some of these heavy and thundery. temperatures widely high teens, low 20s, just that little bit cooler into the far north and east. now, as we move into tuesday, high—pressure clings on across england and wales. across the top of that high, we'll start to see some weather fronts pushing in. the winds will start to increase, will have a little bit of showery rain in northern ireland in the western fringes of scotland. and generally a little more cloud into scotland. sheltered eastern areas should keep some sun and highs of 20 degrees, but we could see 22 celsius, 72 fahrenheit across south east england.

as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, more of the same, really. if anything, the isobars squeeze together and the winds are set to increase. some of the rain could be heavy along west facing slopes and there'll be more cloud generally pushing across northern england, wales and down into the south—west. the best of the sunshine on wednesday into the south—east. but because the wind direction is coming from south—westerly, it's going to be quite a humid feel to the day. temperatures widely into the low to mid 20s to the south, a little bit cooler further north. thursday into friday looks likely to see a good deal of dry weather. but again, always the warmest of the weather down to the south. that's it, take care.
