against the socialist government. for nicolas maduro and his supporters a celebration with few surprises it's a second six year term for the venezuelan president who won over two thirds of the vote. in the we won again. we have triumphed again. where we are the force of victory. for in the face of all the challenges. but it's a hollow victory the country's electoral authorities say only forty six percent of voters turned out at the polls opposition parties say the real figure is closer to thirty percent they boycotted the election claiming it was rigged. one challenger who ran a little more than a prayer says the vote was marred by irregularities. we don't recognize this electoral process as valid as having taken place.

for us there were no elections or were the new elections in venezuela need to take place. much doodles opponents say the empty polling stations were kept open for hours past the prescribed closing time in a desperate bid to draw in voters people behave voting was very low one it didn't used to be like this and they're hoping more people will eventually come out but the truth is it's been very very weak we poke people and there were only a few voters it was not like this in other years when there was a lot of people today i've been walking through town and the voting centers are mc . it doesn't feel. well you know what there haven't been many people because there was a campaign asking people not to vote they told people not to turn nights but some

people from the other side have voted and we should be says have gladly come by that look what i've done i can't. do it all has been handed a second term as venezuela suffers under crippling inflation and food shortages his victory has been rejected by several countries including the u.s. which says it may impose new oil sanctions against the struggling state. did abuse ophelia harms already is following developments for us in the venezuelan capital caracas good morning ophelia you know after this is expected result what now for venezuela with most of this economy in complete tatters. well we will probably not see many new different roads mr murderer didn't present specific changes he would have to change the economic model in the country and we don't think this is going to happen like we heard we right seymour's international

sanctions the u.s. has threatened to cut oil imports from venezuela which would affect the people even further people are already suffering in the country from all these sanctions imposed. to this country and this would also mean that more multinational companies will probably leave the country as we just saw this week kellogg's leaving and this will mean less jobs more poverty and probably more venezuelans being the country and increasing this humanitarian crisis that the government has not been willing to recognize you know the turnout was exceptionally low it's looking like an historic low the opposition is things thirty percent somewhere between thirty and forty six percent voter turnout well forty six percent turnout seems a lot for many people who are looking at the polls today i was

traveling around the city and they seem empty as never before people said they had never seen something like that and we did actually see more longer lines supermarkets or bus stations and this is because people nowadays are more worried about getting food because of this food shortages they sometimes don't get to see a kilo of of. of sugar in two weeks so they have to stand in line for hours and they decided to do that instead of going to vote ok you know mature as main challenger henry for calling he's of course rejecting this vote he's called it rigged what's the opposition going to do can we expect demonstrations. well he asked for new elections in october the opposition was really easy by that during this election time actually the people against kong were the ones boycotting

the election in the first place they were actually not supporting him at all because they were blaming him of being a supporter of the government because he's well known as a friend of the of the former president chavez now as the devitt as he is now rejecting this result we might see united opposition the vice president and of governmental party called for a dialogue this morning we are not sure if this is going to work because the four last attempts did fail ok no doors as the economic plight is not his fault he says it's the result of an imperialist plot led by the united states to venezuelans by that unfortunately a lot of them do it must be said that this country holds a really strong propaganda body state run media is really.

it's always sending out this message and people do believe that it is not the mismanagement of this government and yeah well the young cannot make. the economic. well what they've been doing for so long they think that it isn't the government's fault and well what we've seen is that the venezuelan government did rely on its already served for too long and they imposed social programs that conflict with the current all prize any longer did abuse ophelia harms really bring us up to date on that election result in caracas because rock is thanks very much. turkey is holding an election next month and to shore up support president. has taken his campaign abroad he dressed thousands of expatriate

were on during the coup attempt on july fifteenth. some three million expatriate turks are allowed to vote nearly half of them in germany the bosnian capital is the only campaign stop president everyone will be making in europe austria germany and the netherlands announced they would not allow him to hold election rallies erda one supporters called the ban undemocratic. there are twenty eight thousand people who came here the ban on airline in the e.u. is not good for europe this is not democracy in a democracy you can do whatever you want there's no democracy in europe it's a modern dictatorship. the election on june twenty fourth will usher in the beginning of a new system of governance which will concentrate more powers in the president's hands and abolish the office of prime minister but support for everyone in bosnia

is not unanimous the croatian member of the bosnian presidency has warned it could hurt the country's aspirations to join the e.u. . now for some of the other stories making the news at this hour the u.s. department of justice will investigate whether the f.b.i. spied on donald trump's twenty six election campaign and tweet the president said he demands to know whether any requests for spying were made by the obama administration. the democratic republic of congo is preparing to launch an ebola vaccination program today in a bid to stop the latest outbreak of the disease health workers have shipped four thousand doses of the vaccine to areas along the congo river where the first cases of the potentially deadly deadly virus there have been reported. a palestinian official says president mahmoud abbas has been hospitalized with fever abbas has

thirty five billion dollar trade surplus with the united states trade representatives on both sides say they're discussing the possibility of china importing more u.s. agricultural products as well as energy suppliers that said the u.s. has gone through the necessary legislative process to impose tariffs on chinese goods at a moment's notice. irish low cost airline ryanair has released its full year results for twenty seventeen spurred by an increase in passengers net profits soared so one point five four five billion euros up ten percent compared to the year before ryanair seems to have weathered a difficult twelve months of cancellations of thousands of flights two drawstring problems and pilot strikes apparently failed to have a big impact on the company's bottom line in a bumpy year for the entire island in l. an industry. two thousand and seventeen was a turbulent year for the airline industry alitalia started bankruptcy proceedings

and air berlin disappeared from the skies fuel prices climbed and with fewer competitors it was full throttle among the remaining airlines to score passengers germany's lufthansa group came out on top in terms of passenger numbers selling one hundred sixteen million tickets in two thousand and seventeen ireland's low cost ryanair remain the most popular budget carrier with over one hundred nine million passengers beating out. the company behind british airways iberia and air lingus and it was followed by air france k l m and ryanair is bitter rival easyjet. whether ryanair can keep the momentum going this year is another matter c.e.o. michael o'leary finally agreed to recognize unions and pay pilots more in return passengers are footing the bill now the ultimate no frills airline has made checking times shorter and even cabin baggage comes at

a cost. of portage one isn't joins is not in the studio. looks a bit close ryan as number you just heard the report number two behind. in europe the ride that had a turbulent year but one thing always sticks out that the part that pilots this stuff don't seem to be happy that no they're not and we have heard in the last twenty four hours that the irish pilots union has more demands from ryan air they want systems for different systems for face allocations so that's basically where the pilots as opposed to living and also in terms of promotion the way people are promoted within the company they want more transparency so with basal locations basically ryan air has a mandatory people have to move the pilots have to move to where they are flying from the exact right to tell them where to live exactly and that's sort of a problem because people don't always want to move and some people want to move but

they don't know who gets to move so they want to think well more transparency about that and how that works obviously and of course moving affects families so it's a big deal and if ryanair doesn't respond by may twenty fourth and there might be a strike an island. as you said there might be another strike one of the other challenges facing ryanair arayan is facing this year with the strike like we said are a huge challenge they had that last year and that might be an ongoing. issue for an air the other issue they are facing of course of possibly rising oil costs ryanair has hedged ninety percent of its fuel call. as for two thousand and eighteen meaning that they don't have to worry too much for this year but the cost for the fuel dry is that means ryanair will be spending more on that so that's something that might be an issue and they did say that also in the air full year results release and then at some stage brags it will combine a c.e.o.

michael o'leary has been a consistent critic for for several years actually. why is that one how will it impact ryanair who of course he has been a critic because he knows that ryanair might actually lose out as a result they may have to pay fees when landing in the u.k. they don't have to do that because of course the u.k. is part of the e.u. and that means they don't need to pay any fees for that but that would change as of march next year with briggs it unless of course some sort of agreement takes that into consideration the other problem is with the ownership of ryan air there's a wriggle regulation within the e.u. that stipulates that more than fifty percent the majority of e.u. based airlines should be zero and by e.u. nationals with ryan air when you factor out u.k. nationals that goes down to forty percent so that's sort of going to be an issue because that's going to be against irregular asians of course what happens when that happens we cannot say at this point it hasn't happened yet so break that we

might find out you might say and we will for you very much supernatural over thank you. it's to southern mexico now where a group of people known as much shares are born with male bodies but take on feminine roles as they grow older now they don't identify as men or women and they don't describe themselves as transgender either in one area shares are said to have been around for centuries as we see in our next report today they're facing a number of challenges. it's friday in santiago kneel to pack and diana is getting ready to go for a drink with her friends. both people born with male bodies but. at home they often take on traditional female roles but they're not viewed as women either share often confused as transgender but their identity is unique to the

region as it is to be more in other communities move said to be less accepted and more discriminated against and it's said that this region is the new ship paradise when it really isn't there's a lot of discrimination and violence it's still necessary to work hard to change the way people treat us. it was history and. i are an inseparable part of this culture life here revolves around family social events and keeping the men company despite their long history mexican law doesn't yet recognize them. and society generally accepts them the new share say there's still much progress to be made. from a very early age we identify with our feminine side we dress up as women at ten twelve thirteen years of age but we can no longer access secondary school dressed as women so we leave school and devote ourselves to informal trades such as embroideries

stylists six workers and cooks. there's a kind of a glass ceiling over our heads society won't allow us to advance at all. every year the me share arrive from all over the region to celebrate their identity in the festival of candles they wear traditional dress and dance to compete for the title of festival queen. what hackers is an example for the rest of mixed. if acceptance and tolerance of gender diversity may still be a lot of work to do for the people here the existence of a third gender is a way of life. it's to mozambique now in four years that country was ravaged by civil war conservation was of course not a top priority but the country's rich in natural resources and both some

breathtaking national parks but hit a national park for example the country sells its own to extensive wetlands and populations of animal life the delegation of german scientists is now working with local partners to breathe new life into that park and make it more attractive for international tourists. ranges of the body national hog taking a group of scientists from germany on safari. it's a huge grassland park with wetland areas that are paradise. stretching seven thousand square kilometers the park is the home for countless pelicans on the for which the park is best known the ostrich there the only ostrich is in mozambique. the group has found something else of interest is not big do this is an elephant corridor. when the elephants pass through the

area they leave their dung behind. these days the park has no large animals of its own lions buffaloes and rhinos were driven away first by the civil war then by poachers or by going or form it's not that poachers need food that's not a problem right now people have enough to eat. they set these traps because they want to make money. so the park has been a protected area for more than forty years there are stiff penalties for coaches but illegal killing of animals remains a problem it disrupts the ecosystem in the reserve ranges document their findings and remove the carcasses. while driving to some of the villages situated inside the park it becomes clear there are other problems these a sacks of charcoal made illegally from wood and confiscated by the ranges. i just

watched the minute that the villagers cut down the trees and destroy the natural habitat the animals are forced to flee end up entering the residential areas which leads to new problems the animals' habitat is being destroyed. there are twenty villages in around the park home to nearly six thousand people many residents can't understand the need for such strict conservation laws. so how can the national park foster better relations with local residents that's the question that interests the great from germany together with the ranges they want to convey the message that the park is keen to support local residents one man's lights the example of another park nearby one shekel feat one at the end of each year the park gives twenty percent of its income to the local community they can then use the money to buy something for the benefit of the entire village. that would be a good model here and help local people to see tourism as an opportunity to earn

money visitors from abroad would also get a taste of the traditional lifestyle of people living in the park. this family profited from the german group and enjoyed the encounter to ok nothing out clearly out of it ok. but it's all early days yet. it's a drop in the ocean obviously we're not yet teaching people how to preserve their environment. the volunteers are committed to a long term partnership with the national park and the local community they want to know what other activities could interest visitors like wading through wetlands. it's just what we need to preserve this to attract tourists. we'd like to offer something that other reserves don't have so that people say if we want to see that we need to go devise you know just so put them to the better. a nighttime

safari is one idea the park specializes in small animals here it's not the big five visit it's unlikely to see the frogs. on a rich variety of. ice hockey now and after winning all their matches leading up to the final of the world championships sweden put the icing on the cake by winning it all they defeated switzerland in a nail biting final in copenhagen retaining their title. the first goal went to the underdogs need to try to break the deadlock late in the first period. did not last long just two minutes later sweden equalised two seventy could be used to fight home to level the schools. in the second period of a swiss game for upper hand once again team i might have finished off a counterattack to make it to war on. foot again switzerland couldn't hold on to

their advantage sweden powered on the pressure and eventually made it count because the bomb yet put them level it to wall and that is how we stage for the rest of the game and over time. in the decisive penalty shoot up philip force but scored his sweden but need it i missed switzerland giving sweden the victory disappointment of a swiss who have still never won the well championship well sweden set up a parallel title. tennis now and rafael nadal overcame german number one and defending champion alexander's they have to win the italian open for a record time that all seen here in yellow took the first set without even breaking a sweat winning at sixteen's two one they have responded in the second set turned the tables on the spaniard this time it was six games to one in his favor but the doll bounced back in one the deciding third set six games to three this one means
