i gave the don't. tell us i'm going to make. the famous potato. this is the news live from baghdad the return of the far right in austria as a conservative strike a coalition deal with the anti immigration freedom party arming them control of key ministries europe's youngest media promises his gulf will crack down on illegal

immigration and strengthen the economy so what is all three has moved to the right mean for the constant also coming down. south africa's ruling african national congress here at a crossroads policy needed jacob zuma warns internal divisions pose a threat to the a.n.c. survival as delegates meets to elect his successor. and a gym in saudi arabia where women all testing the boundaries says the arch conservative kingdom starts to give women more rights. by having a home free good to have you with us in austria the far right freedom policy will fill the posts of foreign minister and defense minister in a new coalition government that will take office on monday there's you want your old sebastian coats off the conservative people's. he will become chancellor he and

hines coast hitched leading the freedom party presented their government in vienna today they affirmed that commitment to the european union saying the government would not hold a referendum on why the austria should leave the european union well we'll talk to our correspondent in vienna shortly but first this report the deal is done for a new government in austria and it has shifted sharply to the right as a bust and court's leader of the conservative austrian people's party will become chancellor and europe's youngest head of government at just thirty one. he is partnered with heinz crist. the leader of the far right freedom party their top goal to curb immigration also its unison currents go our goals are very clear we want to reduce the burden on taxpayers we want to strengthen our position to secure a social security system above all we want to ensure more security in our country

including fighting illegal immigration. court says hardline stance on immigration was one of the main reasons he top the october poll he addressed the anxieties of many voters about the refugee crisis calling for tougher border controls and promising change his party won the election with thirty one point five percent of the vote. for you know it's my moment exactly two months ago the austrian people voted. they made a clear decision for a change in our country. and we want to secure this change together in the next five years history. of the past three and president alexander funded belen is expected to swear in the new government on monday but it's not one that he'll like the green leaning politician is an open critic of the far right just one year ago he narrowly won the presidential election against the freedom party's candidate.

and with me now is very easy weights from austria's public will cost r s rosie we're talking about the foreign ministry the defense ministry these a big schools for the freedom party what can we expect them to do with these ministries that's right they'll also be in control of the interior ministry another key ministry for a junior coalition partner this means the freedom party will control austria security apparatus and they have promised to secure austria's borders to stop illegal immigration until the e.u. secure as its borders that is so i mean we will have to wait and see what the do in the foreign some defense in the foreign and defense ministries and they've had to present their plans to the green party president i mean what do you think that he will make of their plans he's his office has already said that the government will

be sworn in on monday morning so he's approved the list of ministers and presumably the broad program of the government as well. i think he he's going to keep an eye on what happens obviously and if he doesn't if he's doesn't approve of certain things i'm sure he will speak up. the far right freedom party has been in coalition governments in austria before so this is not the first time but i with regards to the european union can we expect any reaction that. we think that the reaction is going to be muted we don't expect there will be sanctions us there were when the freedom party was last in government and that's really due to the rise of other far right parties and anti establishment parties across europe for example the f.t. getting into parliament in germany and the the front national making france's presidential runoff a freedom party there was a euro skeptic party i mean do we know if they would be any plans later for asking

the austrian people whether they'd like her main part of the european union well sébastien could today rule that out and heinz christians track of the leader of the freedom party was with them at a press conference and also confirmed that the new government will be pro european or though it's going to seek increased devolution of power from brussels so could that the e.u. should focus on few a task such as securing its borders and hand more powers back to member states let's just remind our viewers about how these parties came to power what were the flashpoint issues in this election the major issue was the refugee crisis back in two thousand and fifteen austria saw a massive influx of refugees and migrants ninety thousand in a country of eight million so it did have

a big impact on voter opinion particularly in rural areas and although there haven't been any terrorist attacks in austria i think the attacks in other european countries also had an effect on voters and structure and puts both say they want to make fighting radical islam a priority and they want to ensure greater security in austria including tackling illegal immigration raising rates in vienna thanks very much indeed. south africa's ruling african national congress is fighting for its future those the words of party need to encompass a country's president jacob zuma the more appeal to the party tonight as thousands of delegates gather to elect his successor and race to replace the scandal hit president has caused deep divisions in the a.n.c. observers say it's in danger of splitting into the a.n.c. and at the battle against apartheid and has governed south africa since the country's first democratic elections in one thousand nine hundred ninety four for

more on this we're joined by journalist philip divest from the man and guardian in johannesburg philip jacob zuma just gave a speech and admitted failings which have weakened the ruling party the a.n.c. has been plagued by scandal and corruption allegations nevertheless it is almost certain to win the elections next year so why is that well voters on the ground tell us that they have a reasonable and that they could vote well so it does look like the weather and coalition will not retain at least a great deal of power throughout south africa but this extraordinary speech by president jacob zuma showing us that he realizes just how much trouble he's using he was actually very angry figure on that saying she was talking about how the media acted against africa in a certain trait called ox members with tears in his own party alliance partners the judiciary holiness people he ceases to be gives the a c.

so now for the first time we get in the sense that president jacob zuma realizes that his party is very trouble and that it's becoming unified a good time for between two nineteen elections might be a very tough job well let's consider the two main candidates now that i mean ramaphosa could either of them truly bring about change within the party. both of them have promised to reunite the party both of them have promised change sir of course this campaign has be largely focused on change in the sense of doing away with corruption written new will of the party making sure that this idea of the eight years of corrupt party is put to be because i know let me assume assuming the some of which equals a radical economic transformation so she has promised to change the economy full of it to the she for black people in south africa but given the split between them in the party and the delegates you need to be slow to write in the middle seems that

there are big portions of the a.n.c. that doesn't believe that it's a wonder why either of them are telling the truth philip why didn't jacob judging the put his hat in their writing. and there was some talk about jacob zuma taking on a third term as president of the a.n.c. however it will be slow to the kite about changing the constitution and so allowing him to be the third term president of the country of south africa that was shut down very quickly it was made very clear within the a.n.c. that no one will allow such changes to the constitution and then see decided that the simply cannot have to see the ideology remains that the president of the party must be the president of the country and that's jacob zuma so must come to an end predict events in ghana is that thanks for that and in india again he has taken over as the need of the main opposition congress party forty seven year old becomes the sick man that of the country's narry gandy political family to head the party

candy faces the tough task of resurrecting a posse that's struggling to make a comeback from its worst ever election cherie in twenty fourteen and any respect to the editor all the quotes india website that is dead yet in india and i also asked him what the main challenge would now be for raw again today. the main challenge would be reviving the electoral fortunes of the congress party after the driving in the twenty forty general elections which was the party's worst ever performance where they want only forty four seats the bodies also lost a string of provincial elections so to hold on the in a house to overhaul the organization that's something he claims he's been doing for some time now but specifically he needs to reject the leadership team we need to infuse new life into the rank and file he needs to sort of reexamined re craft the party's electoral strategy and essentially rebuild the congress party. into a force to be reckoned with that was deputy the editor of the
