with most votes counted in spain's general election — the make—up of the new government still isn't clear. thousands of people on the greek island of rhodes have been moved to safety, as wildfires burn out of control. as anger grows in manipur over a sexual assault case, there's been more accounts of atrocities. live from our studio in singapore, this is bbc news. it's newsday. welcome to the programme. we begin in spain now where the opposition conservatives appear to have fallen short of overall majority with most votes counted.

the leader of the popular party says he will try and form a government that would probably include the far right party vox. but it's far from clear whether he'll be able to do it. our reporter sergi fulcada has sent this update from madrid. this is a bittersweet victory but those were celebrating at the headquarters of the party. evenif the headquarters of the party. even if they adopt the votes of the far right party vox, it will not add up. the conservative leader has celebrated victory. their leader, alberto nunes feijoo has claimed victory and sang as largest party he should be the new prime minister but is unlikely that he will be able to form a government. on the other hand, prime minister pedro sanchez has also claimed victory for the whole of the left, not necessarily for his socialist party that came second in these elections. mathematically, mr sanchez would still be elected as prime minister if you got

all of the votes from the left and also from the catalan and basque nationalists. negotiations now will start in the coming weeks, have enough support in parliament to secure majority, the country may end up going to new elections again. so spain which is the largest fourth economy in the european union now has a new parliament. but the country is still looking for their new prime minister. that was sergi fulcada in madrid. earlier i wasjoined by ignacio hurado, associate professor at the universidad carlos tercero in madrid. i think it's been a very exciting night. the result has been somewhat surprising so i think mostly pointing out the majority of pp in the far right

party vox as possible, not super likely but it was the central scenario but in the end, the rightful short of the majority. i think we are heading to some months of negotiations but it's very unclear who is going to be able to form government and the possibility of a new election is quite high stop at was going to be my next party. haw is quite high stop at was going to be my next party.- to be my next party. how long these negotiations _ to be my next party. how long these negotiations could - to be my next party. how long these negotiations could go i to be my next party. how long| these negotiations could go for and how likely another election might be. and how likely another election miaht be. ,, and how likely another election miaht be. , ., ~ and how likely another election miaht be. , n ., and how likely another election miahtbe. , ., might be. this can take long so i think peeple _ might be. this can take long so i think people are _ might be. this can take long so i think people are saying - might be. this can take long so i think people are saying if - i think people are saying if there was a repeated election, this would be no earlier than november. it's not possible to say exactly what it basically depends on when the king, meeting all parties, decides to appoint a candidate for an investiture. once there is an investiture. once there is an investitu re vote, investiture. once there is an investiture vote, if it fails, we have basically two months to form a government or a new election will be called. we

need to be basically waiting to see if it happens, and two months since then would be defined, we have a new election. defined, we have a new election-— defined, we have a new election. ~ �* , , election. we've seen the rise ofthe election. we've seen the rise of the far— election. we've seen the rise of the far right _ election. we've seen the rise of the far right parties - election. we've seen the rise of the far right parties acrossj of the far right parties across europe including italy, germany and greece and so on. pedro sanchez the prime minister said this is the defeat of the far right party vox. do you agree with his assessment? i right party vox. do you agree with his assessment?- with his assessment? i think it's not completely _ with his assessment? i think it's not completely wrong . it's not completely wrong assessment. the whole campaign of the left has been centred around vox being a party in government and this is the way the left is mobilised its electorate. the selection was 14 may because it was an important defeat for the government in the elections and since then, the main motive of the left has been, let's have an election to rule out the possibility of the far right being part of the government so

this has been the central motto of the campaign, somehow they have succeeded with that. the israeli president held an emergency meeting with benjamin netanyahu at the hospital where the prime minister is recovering from an overnight operation to fit a pacemaker. it comes as thousands of israelis are continuing protests outside parliament, where a debate is continuing on the government's planned overhaul of the judiciary. security forces attempted to diffuse the demonstration with water cannons. it's 100 days since fighting broke out between sudan's army and its paramilitary rival, the rapid support forces. the conflict has devastated the capital khartoum and displaced more than 3 million people. there's still no sign that either side is ready to negotiate peace. the number of people who've died in a landslide in india's western state of maharashtra has risen to 27. more than 50 are still missing. the landslide was triggered by monsoon rains. rescue teams are looking for survivors under the mounds of earth and rubble.

local media say whole families have been killed. staying in india. graphic accounts are emerging of further atrocities in the indian state of manipur during an outbreak of ethnic violence. several other incidents have now come to light. internet restrictions have slowed the release of information. there's already been pain and anger over a video showing two women being paraded naked and assaulted by a mob. our reporter divya arya has more from manipur. shops are shut in this part of manipur�*s capital city imphal because another violent incident was reported here. this road leads to the airport, so you do see some vehicles going from here. but mostly residents in this area are staying indoors, stepping out only if they need some essentials. now, what really strikes you when you come to manipur is that the city and the state has seen no internet for more than two and a half months now.

so while some areas might be returning to normalcy, it is really hard to communicate and resume normal life. and despite the fact that there is no internet, when we travelled around the state, we found that the video that shows two women being disrobed, paraded naked and then sexually assaulted was still being shared widely. and people would just take out their phones and show that video to us. it has fuelled more anger, despair and discontent amongst both communities. thousands are still displaced and in relief camps, unable to go back to their homes after they were set on fire in the violence that happened in the month of may. while there have been arrests after the video came out and there has been condemnation from both communities, especially spearheaded by women, everybody has been pointing out that the state government and the central government hasn't done enough, that the prime minister has spoken, but spoken too little and too late. until there is a concerted effort to find a political resolution to the dispute, sporadic incidents of violence can continue. we've heard of reports of fighting across the border overnight.

curfew is clamped every evening and it will be very difficult for people to go back from relief camps and even think of rebuilding their lives. jagannath panda is from the institute for security & development policy, a non—profit and non—partisan research and policy organisation. i asked him what he thought of the response by state authorities. i think let me start by saying that the images you are showing those are clearly disturbing. and this is not really a good state of affairs in manipur and we should condemn it. this is a sorry state of affairs, but i think the response of the local administration has been quite slow. instead of really trying to address the situation. i think the violence, the ethnic violence, conflict, there has been quite a prolonged state of affairs for the last two

to three months and the local government should have shown a lot of urgency, a lot of on the spot, many offerings to address the situation. and that has not really happened. and that's why i would say that this is a negligence on the part of the local administration and particularly at the police and the state administration are those who are responsible to address this situation. what about prime minister narendra modi's condemnation, in your view? did he go far enough? i don't think here it is wise to link it with the central leadership. i think if we look at india, almost every state has a unique ethnic configuration. and in every state, what we have seen since the post—independence of india over the last 70 years, ethnic violence has been a common feature

of every state politics. so i don't think the central leadership has to be brought here in terms of trying to link it. and i think prime minister modi has already reacted to the situation. that's a positive signal because we have seen that prime minister modi has not really spoken to the media, to the public on this kind of matters since he had assumed the power in from 2014 onwards. but this is one of the unique occasion where he has spoken and that should be welcomed. of course, as you said, state police have been nice accused of not doing enough to help the victims. they say they were outnumbered. what is stopping them from asking for more support from the central government? i think it's not only about the state government, i think it's about the coordination, it's about the response pattern. it's about how to deal with the situation here. the situation is quite dense. if we see what has been the root cause behind this behind this ethnic violence, the root cause has been about upholding the status when the local the multiple

high court actually asks the state government to consider offering the scheduled tribe status for the meitei community, meitei community, which is the dominant community in manipur. so it's between the two communities, the meitei communities and the kuki communities. so it's a ethnic conflict where the state government should have actually played a strong role in terms of building the gap and bridging the gap and also trying to establish peace, even even though knowing the fact that it is there for last two to three months, the situation was unfolding. so to that effect, i will hold responsible to the local administration rather than trying to link it with the central government of india. in cambodia prime minister

hun sen has declared victory in a general election. but the main opposition party was banned, so it's been dismissed by some as a one—sided sham. jonathan head reports. the man who's held onto power here for nearly four decades was among the first to vote. hun sen had made sure his party faced no rival in this election. it was dismissed by many as a sham, but he still needed it to go well. and here's why. his son, hun manet, will soon succeed him in a once in a generation dynastic power transfer that's fraught with risk. the disqualification of the main opposition party left people with no real choices. the 17 others permitted to contest the election were either too small or too new to attract more than a handful of votes. "it was a boring campaign for the people", said the spokesman for the banned candle light party, which was forced to sit out this election with no opposition. "it was like a soup with no flavour." the ruling party still campaigned hard, though its colourful rallies

were the only ones that most cambodians got to see. the cpp was pushing for a strong turnout, and it looks like it got that. we've just finished counting the votes here in this polling station in phnom penh. quite a surprisingly number of spoiled ballots here. it's quite high, which is the only way people can really show their support for the opposition, which, of course, was banned from contesting. but once this is over, the bigger question really facing cambodia is how the planned transition of power from hun sen, who's been there so long, to his son goes. that's expected to happen within a few weeks. hun sen hopes that this will be seen as his legacy, a once war—torn country transformed under his rule. but all this glittering growth has come at a high price with levels of corruption, injustice and inequality that

would certainly have cost him many more votes in a freer election. jonathan head, bbc news, phnom penh. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. time is ticking to bring down soaring prices. when he made that promise, the flesh had been at over 10% to his target is to get down around five. richman in north yorkshire is an historic market town that relies on tourism. with household budget squeeze, the people cutting back on things like many breaks and eating out. s like many breaks and eating out. _ , like many breaks and eating out. s out. our occupancy levels are an hinu out. our occupancy levels are anything between _ out. our occupancy levels are anything between 1900% - out. our occupancy levels are l anything between 1900% most nights, including the weeknights.- nights, including the weeknights. nights, including the weekniuhts. , weeknights. there is some good news. weeknights. there is some good news- food _ weeknights. there is some good news. food prices _ weeknights. there is some good news. food prices not _ weeknights. there is some good news. food prices not rising - news. food prices not rising quite as fast as they were. the average grocery shop is still costing significantly more than

this report from jenny hill in rhodes. tonight reported large flowers on all three fronts of the fire. you can probably see how windy it is right now. that windy it is right now. that wind is expected to strengthen significantly tomorrow. that is going to make their task much more difficult and indeed much more difficult and indeed much more dangerous. he mentioned at the same time fire has also broken out on the island in the north forcing the evacuation of several settlements there. as if that weren't enough, this region in southern europe is expected to be hit by yet another heatwave. in the coming days. some people did get away on flights this evening back to the uk. some of them had been waiting at the airport since the early hours of this morning. evacuated from their hotels, didn't have anywhere to

go so they just hotels, didn't have anywhere to go so theyjust went hotels, didn't have anywhere to go so they just went to hotels, didn't have anywhere to go so theyjust went to the airport and whether sleeping on the floor. surprisingly few seats at roodepoort, people squatting by walls and as i say, sleeping, young children in particular covered loosely by bankers while they are parents and worried for those people are the lucky ones, they want to either got a flight out this evening or know they got a flight out in the coming days. i have spoken to so many people today who say they argue until next week but not in a hotel anymore. they fled with passport and a phone but left everything else, including valuables and the room. they are saying what are we supposed to do? spending little time at the airport this afternoon and time in emergency shelter and accommodation shelters. normally a basketball court, the kind surrounded on all sides by plastic seating. we met people there who said as they were betting down for the night on the court, the lucky ones on mattresses, some told us the night before they were

so many people there that actually had to sleep on the plastic chairs around the side of the court. it was extremely hot. there were mosquitoes, very unpleasant. people were very unpleasant. people were very conscious of the fact that had a very difficult night ahead of them. that is before you add in the mental stress of them not knowing whether they can get back into the hotel �*s, whether they are going to be able to get home, a lot of people actually expressing real frustration and anger with some of the tour companies. saying they had not been on the receiving end of any communication at all. while we were in that particular emergency shelter, some british government officials arrived to try and try to give people a little bit of advice. the overwhelming sense this exhaustion, most people have not slept and have been doing extremely traumatic experience some cases. also the sense of frustration of not knowing what is going to happen next.

now let's focus more on evacuations — here is our news reporter courtney bembridge. conflicting reports we're hearing there from the tourism minister. it'll be back to normal in a few days. and on the other side, passengers who are saying they're not getting enough information and many of them are spending the night in, as you said, sports halls and other places like that. let's get another perspective from some of the tour companies and airlines that fly into rhodes —jet2 have said that they'll be sending no tourists there for at least the next week, but they are sending empty planes there to help get people home. tui has also cancelled flights until at least wednesday. easyjet has said that they are running as normal, but they're sending extra flights to tomorrow and one the next day to try to help get people home. and they have cancelled package holidays. so those ones, including the hotels and flights all in one. and british airways and ryanair have said they're flying as normal as have other airlines like air france and condor. so many airlines, again, are operating as normal

as the tourism minister said. they're expecting to continue their operations. another thing to show you, though, is what happened to these easyjet passengers. they were waiting on the tarmac for about three hours before their flight took off. you can see them there fanning themselves with the in—flight safety instructions. and we have had word that this flight, while it did take off, had to land in milan because the crew had timed out. so these people still not home. their destination was london. another thing to show you is the amount of people that are in the airport waiting for flights, and some of them may be waiting for some time for the reasons we've outlined. and we know that the uk foreign office is sending a support team to help british nationals at the airport. some of the things they'll be focusing on is getting people emergency documents. many of these people may have headed to the airport without those documents, not able to go back to the resorts and hotels where they were staying to pick up luggage and passports, things like that. so that's also under way.

and this is an important thing to look at. these here are where the fires are and these are the areas that have been where people have been evacuated from. 19,000 people we know have so far had to leave. now, that includes tourists and locals as well. and we've seen images of hotels that have been damaged in this area. now, this is rhodes. you can see the aegean sea marked here. but i also want to show you some pictures from another island. so this is corfu, just off the coast of albania here and not far away from italy here. and it's also experiencing fires. we've had these images shared on social media from people who are there. and i can show you this video as well, where you can see smoke and fires burning in the distance. so we know that there's been wildfires on the mainland as well. but certainly two islands tonight that are dealing with fires and many people

trapped in the ensuing chaos as flights and hotels are closed and delayed. it's day five of the women's world cup down under. three more fascinating fixtures to look forward to today. including italy versus argentiana and also brazil taking on panama. let's start with france versus jamaica. what an amazing achievement from the corinthian nation. ~ ,,., , .,, achievement from the corinthian nation. ~ , , .,, nation. absolutely. it was most unexpected- — nation. absolutely. it was most unexpected. took _ nation. absolutely. it was most unexpected. took place - nation. absolutely. it was most unexpected. took place about i nation. absolutely. it was most| unexpected. took place about 15 minutes that way last night. france were well and truly the favourites going into that match. they have a new manager that provides often something called a new manager bounce is momentum and enthusiasm. the team can perform well there. this time yesterday was not

the full uk forecast in a moment — but first of all, the extreme heat continues to affect parts of the mediterranean. and later on monday, we might actually see one of europe's highest ever temperatures — 48 celsius possible to the southwest of catania. now, the significance of that is the all—time european record currently stands at 118.8, so we'll be very, very close to that. on sunday, though, here in the uk, it was a very wet day across central portions of the uk. we have 91 millimetres of rainfall in preston, three—and—a—half inches — that's about a month's worth. these figures only go up to saturday, but even at that stage, there were a number of places that were getting close to double the july average rainfall. our weather pattern, then, is a bit stuck at the moment, and it was this weather from the kind of rained off the cricket in greater manchester. the front itself is starting to push its way southwards, so the rain is going to eventually swing across wales, into the midlands and parts of east anglia, with the skies clearing behind. now for scotland, northern england, northern ireland, with those clearer

skies, temperatures get down into single figures, so it'll be quite chilly air. but underneath the front into the south, it's a relatively mild start to the day for monday. cloudy, though, with further rain — east anglia, south midlands selling hounds of england. the rain then pulls away to leave us with a day of sunny spells and showers. and, ok, the showers shouldn't last too long, there'll be large portions of the day that stay entirely dry. our temperatures a little bit below average for the time of year, but still feeling ok in the july sunshine. now, i think there should be a bit more of that sunshine to look forward to across england and wales, with not many showers here for tuesday. further north, though, for scotland and for northern ireland, there will be quite a few downpours developing through tuesday afternoon, so another fairly unsettled day. now, heading into wednesday and thursday, another area of low pressure will form in the atlantic and move towards our shores, so we have more rain on the cards. now wednesday, it might well be to the northeast of the uk that it stays largely dry with some sunshine.

but certainly further west, the cloud will gather, outbreaks of rain will swing into northern ireland, and probably reach western parts of england, wales, and scotland. certainly through wednesday night, it turns wet for most of us, with the rain still hanging around for thursday. might start to clear for western areas with, again, the weather brightening up. but on the whole, temperatures staying below average. the weather staying unsettled.
