mexico voters are going to the polls in a presidential election that has been overshadowed by violence at least one hundred and forty five politicians and activists have been killed since campaigning began last year twenty seventeen it was the most violent year in mexico's recent history a fragmented criminal landscape has enabled powerful drug cartels to tighten their grip and create a culture of fear presidential candidate and former mexico city mayor on that as manuel lopez obrador has vowed to end violence stamp out corruption and transform the country he was among the first to cast his vote. well for the very latest we're joined now by our correspondent a few harms i.o.t. who is in mexico city so a few of the frontrunner lopez obrador has already run twice for the presidency so

how good are his chances this time around becoming the next mexican president. while he has a lead of twenty find points on top of his nearest challenger which is we got it on now yes from a call ition led by the conservative party national action and on the third place an independent candidate who was picked by the governing party the institutional revolutionary party close antonio me it is also very likely that lopez or whatever would end his coalition will hold control of both chambers of congress which will probably help him to pass some of the major reforms he wants to make especially in the telecommunications and electricity sector. all this candidate lopez obrador has vowed to completely change mexico what does he mean by that and why do people trust him. well mexicans are so fed up with

their ruling class that they are taking a chance on a populist for the first time and this is mainly because the traditional parties and pretty they haven't been able to fight the biggest problems in mexico corruption impunity violence and the economic growth of the past decades has only benefited a very small elite now look at other ones to make major changes he wants to redress this imbalance between they returned the poorer parts of mexico but some of his drastic measures like urging people for example to stop paying for their electricity bills when the prices went up scarce and because it was so way and some investors and his his opponents say that he will well. with the market friendly policies that have characterized the past governments here in mexico. a feeling it seems we're getting some breaking news now from mexico that political

activist has been shot dead this is the latest in a string of killings over the past year leading up to this election can you talk to us about the violence that we've seen leading up to this poll. you have violence has always been present and the electoral process is here in mexico but this one has been the bloodiest the country has ever seen since september there have been hundred well you said it before a one hundred forty five politicians that were killed many of them were running for local offices and this is mainly because the brutal drug cartels that control many of the areas in mexico have been taking control over politics and over local offices and now what is really frightening to many mexicans is that they are going to choose and vote for candidates that have been put in politics by the organized crime and this is not only happening to politicians we see this is

happening to journalists this is happening it's happening to human act as well all right a few reporting from mexico city many thanks. in the united states hundreds of thousands of demonstrators have been taking part in nationwide protests to show their opposition to the trump administration's immigration policy rallies come despite president trunks decision to end to the for separation of migrant families nevertheless thousands of children remain in custody without their parents . they marched on the east coast thousands streaming across new york's landmark brooklyn bridge. they staged mass protests in the west coast cities of san francisco and los angeles from chicago in the north to florida in the deep south crowds gathered outside the white house in washington still angry at recent

emotional scenes of children being separated from their parents but the us mexico border there was particular scorn as protesters filed past the trump. they called for the scrapping of the u.s. customs and immigration agency known as ice it's inhumane and it's recess and it's also pretty ineffective is it i want them to mollify my family moved to the u.s. when i was a child i'm great in poland and when i came here i wasn't put in a cage i think it's important my duty now to be here sure immigration is a huge issue for any country but to be there to be the reason we actually keep these people to decency that is are i think really passionate about their families also i gather on the mexican side of the border with the u.s. to protest against separations and deportations. since donald trump took office policies of hate have begun we all know people only migrate out of necessity we demand an end to the racist policies of donald trump you know president trump may have backed down on in forced separations but not all families have been reunited

and immigration from mexico remains an incendiary issue. israel has stepped up its security in the border region between syria and the israeli occupied golan heights as the violence in syria's daraa province continues thousands of syrians have set up makeshift camps near the israeli border the israeli government has said it will continue to provide medical treatment to booted civilians and aid syrians across the fence but prime minister binyamin netanyahu stress that syrians fleeing war will not be let into the country. where twelve days ago the regime in damascus backed by its ally russia began a deadly bombing campaign that has forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes. this is syrian t.v. a constant barrage of unending brutal merciless gunfire with no regard for the

civilian population. it's the eleventh day of the joint syrian russian offensive in the province southwest of syria's capital damascus president assad's troops and their allies are looking for a quick victory over the rebels by any means necessary. and. has enormous significance for the regime this is where the uprising began in twenty eleven and it will be crushed here. assad is making it clear that the opposition in syria has no future. but there's been barely any news for days and only a few signs of life from rescue workers in rebel held areas. the russian air attacks have targeted and destroyed numerous hospitals the civil defense appears to be largely eliminated. some cities in the province have surrendered to government troops after russian brokered talks. state t.v.

shows the jubilant celebrations of a pro assad public. late saturday evening ceasefire talks with the islamist rebels that would have affected the whole province failed. tens of thousands have been fleeing the violence for days the united nations estimates at least one hundred and sixty thousand people are in need of help but the precarious security situation means international aid organizations cannot reach them. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world. thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of hong kong as the city marks the twenty first anniversary of its handover from britain to china hong kong became part of china in one nine hundred ninety seven after more than a century of british rule beijing has since been tightening its grip on the semi autonomous city. a days after twelve boys and their soccer coach went missing in

what most people expected of being doing particularly well in this torrent of course they are the hosts and spain have well they were rather on their wellman but i think what we need to do is actually take a look at this report from that much. when marco asensio swung in a deep free kick on the own sergio ramos made himself a nuisance ignatiev it was overwhelmed and unfortunate a goal sourced by front but the hosts pulled themselves back a corner shortly before half time was met with a hand boom from gerrard case the referee gave a penalty which also in juba smashed home to bring russian that i need credible moment for the hosts in front of an elite speed trap. and they continue to growing through the second hall foundation time with the favorites finding no relief this one was destined to go the distance. it was the russians who had been converting who outs a four penalties i when ego acking fayad saved for the second time this incredible

set was complete russia continue to write history i dream world cup campaign marches on i pretty of markel stuff they are from russia i have to admit pablo i had written off russia right from the beginning they were the lowest ranked team in the tournaments and now they're in the quarter final what do you think just how far will they be able to do a like you said i mean i think a lot of people thought like you were they didn't really think the russia would get out of the group stages of course being the host they have to be there but they've sort of shown a different sides of them and they i mean in the group stages they did win two or three much as they lost against your require of course and the kind that made me think ok maybe they don't really have it and they're going to be playing spain even though they were underwhelming i did think i don't know if they're going to go that far but after seeing their performance today i think they're doing quite well and of course the mood after that match was rather different somber and supreme the

spawn aside and of course jubilation from the russian side so let's hear from both captains. every child got up to going up against the host a great team that forced us to go to penalties but it was very tough very physical . we did everything we could as it seemed he donated for most of the game created chances pretty much all the time we gave it our all out there it's a difficult time because the world cup is a dream for every footballer that's going home early is a very painful this year but i am with a lot of. pressure but you must thank you for all the supports i already said before the tournament we have to believe in ourselves and we did it but i would have had an amazing championship and it's not just the russian founds the fans from all the countries that have been infected by the atmosphere here and they understand that russia knows how to how far that's a little bit that incident was was all right so euphoric russia captain very euphoric fans how well just how significant was this home advantage for russia was

incredible because when you're watching the match here in berlin i mean or anywhere around the world you probably would have noticed that the you know the fans were really behind russia they were there chanting showing their wrists their their their support for the squad and it's like almost having a twelfth or even thirteenth player ahead on the pitch but our colleague barbara moore who had the look of actually being there and watching all the action live at sends us that this report a little bit earlier on. what a drama what an incredible day for the russian fans i say this is their victory spain with clearly the better team they had more quality more ball position but russian menace to hold strong make it through extra time into the penalty shoot out and then also have the nerves to win i say this is because they had this enormous crowd behind them there was a little going lots of cheering also in that sense the victory was absolutely deserved and the support as we had been so skeptical about their very own steam ahead of the tournament they still supported the team all the way through so i say

having russia win here as the best that could happen to this work out. of there you have the best thing that could happen for the world cup of course it's always great to have the hosts in there because like barbara was saying you know they've really really rooted for their team even though you know a lot of people including those written them all for the tournament but they've proven that you know they are a squad that people really need to take a look at now and we're just seeing images there of all that support in different russian cities of course where people came together and i was talking to barbara nor their colleagues who were out there and they were saying that you know the support for the team is incredible people are really rooting for them and there was sort of this they were quite skeptical they were skeptical that they could really go this far and look at them they're there now they beat spain and you know how far can they go well it's not going to have to wait that long to find out all right pablo so after this victory russia will now play croatia they looked impressive in the group stage what about tonight's game.
