will ask what this means for the future of germany's shaky coalition government. i'm gonna welcome to the show brazil has a new president far right candidate sharples so narrow has won a sweeping victory official results gave him more than fifty five percent of the vote well ahead of the leftist candidates fernando dot as the final results rolled in there were intense displays of both grief and joy on the streets a sign of the country's bitter divide after its most polarizing election in decades . thousands of people gathered outside jaya both sinatra's home in rio de janeiro to celebrate. for his supporters the result marks a new beginning for brazil. with many shedding tears of joy as the news broke that was the election campaign was tough and particularly divisive

i just sing the nation for the first time as the country's president elect from inside his own home also now a spark of unity but also live north of oh this is a country for a saw brazilians by birth or heart or do you know brazil of diverse opinions colors and orientations as a defender of freedom i will lead a government which defends and protects the rights of citizens who comply with their duties and respect the laws i think there were some very different scenes in sao paulo amongst supporters of his leftist opponent fernando had out. and out on the street there was anger towards the winner. many protesters shouting not him. clark yeah i'm in mourning not for me but for purcell it doesn't deserve this it doesn't deserve this ignorance. all scenarios are highly

polarizing figure in brazil critics charge him with repeatedly making me such a mystic homophobic and racist comments and defending torture he's also praised the military dictatorship which led the country from one thousand nine hundred sixty four to nine hundred eighty five many political analysts say his sudden popularity is a symptom of the multiple crises besetting brazil. sinatra's pledged to crack down on rampant corruption and to rescue an economy in turmoil. but the captain's major promises being to get tough on crime he says violence in brazil has reached epidemic levels in early september post and i was stabbed during a campaign rally possibly only proving this point and many people saw as i normally do i did not join campaigning both painted himself as a man phone removed from the country's political elite but now he's in power brazilians will be wondering what he's going to do with it. curliness you moya's

been following the election for us and she joins us from rio de janeiro hi carolyn you were in front of both house as the news came that he won surrounded by supporters there what was the reaction like. well his supporters were euphoric they were in a party they talked about finally a change for brazil a positive change to someone who would organize brazil bring order and the only man who will is not involved in corruption scandals and this will be the president for a full brazil they were all in the party mood and it was very loud and you know the president's know how to party that was pretty clear there. currently do you know has promised to change the country what is going to happen now what does he promise to do. that is the big question to me what is going to happen now that someone has been elected as the next president

for president while he has been doing a different controversial announcements during his political campaign at one of the things he said is that he wants to legalize carrying weapons for each. citizen and that is how he sees a way of fighting crime here in brazil another thing he said is that he wants to open more military. schools in brazil at least one in each brazilian state on the international level he said the president is going to withdraw from the united nations literally he said that he sees the united nations as a group often nonsense communist however two days later he said that this is not going to happen and this shows as probably the most important and the most worrying point. and that is his and predictability we already know this kind. of making policies from the president of the united states mr donald trump. clearly and you know we saw that there was not only joy on the streets from both in our supporters

but also a lot of pain a lot of sorrow how divided is brazil right now. president is completely we also noticed that yesterday when we went to the. well where the supporters of the workers party gathered they were of course not only sad but also applied laurie because we have to complete the really have seen two completely different candidates here and this is how the country also looks like people who support the far right populists and the other one support a leftist candidate this already shows two completely different faces of the country and also the political mood in this country. for us in rio de janeiro thank you very much. now a passenger plane with one hundred eighty nine people on board has crashed into the sea shortly after taking off from indonesia's jakarta airport emergency personnel

the s.p.d. headquarters in berlin a where a press conference is going on at the moment thomas you know we've seen two state elections this month and bavaria and has said to terrible results for the for the social democrats what are going to be the consequences. also i mean first of all you have to forgive me for not being able to speak very loudly but as you can probably see behind me and not is the lead candidate in speaking there at precisely i don't rise ing the results of that election has and they're talking in particular about a two fold strategy what's going to happen in the party now on the one hundred internally in other words trying to strengthen that profile they have to realize that the s.p.d. the social democrats have lost that sort of profile in voters' minds in the summing up they have to strengthen on the other areas obviously working more in the grand coalition and trying to show some concrete results because and they're not it's just said right here but as you also said previously it seems that the problems

within the grand coalition played a key role in the social democrats having such a bad result and has a and also having such a bad result in bavaria a few weeks ago thomas what does all of this mean for a chance i'm going marco and her shaky coalition government. she was already under pressure under merkel and this will probably only increase that pressure even more the fact that not only her own conservatives lost a lot of support in hazard but also her partners here at the federal level the social democrats also lost a lot of support means that angela merkel must now also have to she also has to actually have to react to these election results and try and present projects that can be solved not only in content but also in tone on tone or something particularly important here so it because the grand coalition conservatives and social democrats have to show the german public that they are no longer fighting that they're no longer struggling and clashing on personnel issues on migration or that they're willing to actually bring on make

a reality of those plans that they signed in the coalition agreement when they formed their grand coalition so frankly michel certainly a very bitter moment as well although the conservatives do have a clear mandate to form a regional government in the state of us tell us this election results seem to indicate that germany's political landscape is changing tell us more about that. it is indeed changing it is becoming more and more fragmented that something that was absolutely evident yesterday has he was also evident in bavaria it was also evident for example in the federal elections of last year the fact that more and all parties are coming to the fore that more and more party is willing to have a say and they're also getting support by the voters or something absolutely clear and it comes hand in hand with another phenomenon namely that the traditional parties are losing ground the conservatives and the social democrats have been losing ground nationally and also regionally and that by the way show me something that is not only happening here in germany it is also happening in other parts of europe the fact that big traditional parties are losing ground and those votes are

going to smaller parties and some occasions parties that are also on the fringes of the political spectrum in the german case that is particularly true for the far right alternative for germany. thomas pair of course at the social democratic party headquarters here in berlin thank you very much thomas. to sports now and in formula one lewis hamilton a storm to a fifth world championship when the mexican grand prix on sunday how often went into the race needing to finish in or above seventh place to clinch the championship he started third on the grid made an early bid for the lead but red bulls max for stop an edge him aside and went on to win the race for a second year in a row but it was hamilton's day and he claimed fourth spot handing him his fifth world title. only one driver in the history of the sport is that for one more world championships than lewis hamilton the retired racing legend with seven but the britain is closing in having secured that fifth crown on sunday here's the story of

this season's title defense. lewis hamilton champion again his fifth formula one world title has arguably been his toughest the miss a driver expected and initially got a big challenge from ferrari before he was able to streak away to overall victory i think it's just really about been consistently been the most consistent so far. but says it seen it started off a little bit up and down to begin the season initially the briton struggled to keep up with title rival sebastian fettle at the mid-season break the ferrari driver was in the lead with four wins and eight podium finishes defending champion hamilton was trailing sat in a technically inferior car. but the team and their star driver didn't pan. spirit within the team is stronger than them and these experiences that we've been

having and how we've been handling them have really united us more than any of the year the team's engineers showed their worth they moved quickly to modify a few parts and make technical changes which got rid of the traction issues that had slowed the car down they were ruthless his mercedes teammate valtteri bottas was relegated to a supporting role fassel didn't have that type of support from his teammates and while the ferrari driver faltered hamilton cruised through the second half of the season with aplomb michelle schumacher his record of seven world titles may now be in sight for a dominant. or minor now of our top stories here and celebrations in brazil for supporters of the far right president elect shire both sonora the man they call tropical tramp comfortably fending off a moderate left wing challenger brazil also saw protests after the polarizing election and voters punished germany's shaky coalition both chancellor merkel's
