3:05 pm
a more muted response but yet some of these far right parties did not make such a game that they have in austria so i mean what's the distinction that what propelled the far right to a strong part of the vote in austria. well the freedom party certainly positioned itself as more moderate than in previous years campaigned very heavily as did the people's party on immigration and the fact that during the the refugee crisis a large number of asylum seekers came to australia ninety thousand people it's a small country and that certainly had an impact on voter opinion particularly in rural areas now straka the head of the freedom party and sebastian kurtz have both said that they want to make fighting radical islam a priority and of course people have seen attacks across europe and that has spread

minister and pose as an atlanta knees or not and she's a leftist who's vowed to improve the prospects for the country's black majority he's up against deputy president ramaphosa he's a business friendly trade unionist and one of the wealthiest people on the continent. for more on this we're joined by journalist philip divest from the mail and guardian in jenna's backflip the a.n.c. is deeply divided some of the delegates have been a exclude it from this convention at the very last minute tell us more about that last six hours be i'm sure julie. is this conference a great deal of their time was taken up by. trying to figure out what to do with a number of cases that came to me yesterday that excluded some of its delegates now today up to this afternoon we have cases way branches of the a.n.c.
3:08 pm
say that they wish to object to the delegates who had been appointed to vote on the behalf they're saying that there are names on these lists that they've never seen before and we have to look more legal action should some of these delegates be alot in on the other hand we have and the delegates who believed that they were legitimately elected they have not been allowed to present the credentials that's they have not been allowed to register that's the extent of the motions that means they won't be able to vote for it let's take a look at the two main candidates now and let me assume that ramaphosa could either of them surely bring about change within the party. that is really the question in the war we watch today just how deeply divided because our tears right down the middle is the split the more difficult to see to bring it together again the. history of making its policy seem says it's very much consensus driven party but at the moment there's a ribbon party and the question so much is not who will be the next even but will
