12:02 am
is divided many now think bragg's it is a mistake wales has flipped a majority here voted to leave the e.u. two years ago latest polls suggest that's changed. i did but. that's just for us to make our own decisions. that's. not sure i think we've got a bad deal staining the blocks at the moment we're going to come right i think is a lot of regret because i think a lot of people thought leaves me just walk up but i knew it wouldn't be quite like this so complicated you know. you know with populations millions and it's just it's not as easy as shutting the door and saying goodbye theresa may is under attack from those who want to stay in the e.u. and those who want to leave but think her deal is not good enough she insists what she agreed with the e.u. and presented to parliament last week is the best possible option she and her loyalists rejected suggestions that they would delay the vote it is going ahead and
12:03 am
not because it is a good deal it's the only deal and it's important that we don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good and what of parliament rejects the deal and unregulated exit new elections or even a second referendum the only sure thing seems to be that nearly everyone will be unhappy. well earlier i spoke to toby helm political editor of the british newspaper the observer based in london and i asked him why the prime minister theresa may will go ahead with that brags that vote in parliament is what he told me i would guess she would probably go ahead with it to fail to release the huge margin which in any normal person would be the end of the prime minister to think that this way she could the entire country because every party not just the province of the hold every party within itself is to be split represented there is a big question as to who would be better than. to sort it out and the answer is
12:04 am
nobody knows who would be better than her so i think despite the fact she might and indeed she will probably lose it i think she'll probably stay on as prime minister the question is we can then go through what we do about threats there are low the possibility she could either go try to negotiate some deal very unlikely could very well have it or possibly call a certain referendum or possibly with no deal to. tell you the helm that the political editor of the british newspaper the observer speaking to me earlier well the alliance of armenia's acting prime minister nick called paasschen yan has a sizable lead in parliamentary elections that's according to early results the counting is still underway in sunday's now ballot passion and had pushed for the vote off to a peaceful anticorruption uprising took him to power this year and marked the most sweeping political shift in on media since it gained independence from the state
12:05 am
the union in the one nine hundred ninety s. and sunday's poll saw passion yani aiming for a strong mandate from the otis his reform agenda. looking for a mandate nicole passion ian has a reform agenda and he needs political support he's hoping the snap elections will deliver it but he also says it's about more than just his program. i can see that we would have preached all over the general goal and it is really free transparent and the more practical elections past me and has written a wave of anti corruption sentiment and indeed for many voters that was the central theme of the election. well the thought of an opera we vote for equality and against corruption these are the most important things a solution of these two issues will satisfy me the rest is not that important neither salary not anything outside only these two major issues corruption and equality. international monitors were on hand to observe the election proceedings
12:06 am
this after decades of single party rule and the arrest just last week of a former president for trying to overthrow the constitutional order. we are aware of the unique atmosphere around these elections however we have to be nonpartizan absolutely independent so we cannot be swayed by any political sympathies we are here to observe the process to make sure that it complies with international standards to make sure it complies with all meaning in collect chilcote and other law. for many armenians there's real hope that this election could mark the advent of real democratic change. and for more i'm joined now by journalist joshua kuchera he is in the capital yerevan hi there joshua we have the first preliminary results coming in what are you hearing that. well it looks like
12:07 am
from the other preliminary results which are quite early at this point they're more or less tracking what we expected want to impose we're saying and that's that you go cautiously arms my stuff alliance is winning early commanding victory. i don't think we'll know complete results for a while now but everyone expected and these results are showing that he's going to have the overwhelming majority in parliament and what about voter turnout how's that looking. that's been interesting we do have more concrete numbers on that the central election commission announced the turnout was forty nine percent which compared to the last parliamentary elections which was last year that was sixty one percent so it's down quite a bit and there's been a lot of speculation about why that might be part of it is certainly that that the old regime used a variety is of unsavory about it's to get people to the polls they would organize
12:08 am
government workers to go on to go together or or in many cases just bribing them and that's not happening this time around so that's sort of the accounts for some of that some pro pasha yon analysts were suggesting but there are also might be some complacency among the electorate because the polls showed him with such a huge victory that a lot of people thought maybe they just stay home or as these votes come in then let's take a brief look ahead what are the real challenges that passion young face if he does indeed gain at that part of the tree majority. well the u.s. is going to have a lot of challenges i mean that he's made very big promises. and especially in terms of the economy yeah i mean as economy has been stagnant for a very long time and he has raised expectations quite high and talked a lot about. bringing new jobs in our salaries and doing that by bringing foreign
12:09 am
investment so far in the seven months that he's been prime minister the economy hasn't really changed in there hasn't been any significant new foreign investment he's always been able to say well this is because i don't have control of the parliament and they're blocking my and students ask you this what you should have full control of everything and that's going to make you not have any more since the journalists of joshua cherry in the media capital yerevan thank you let's get you up to date now on some of the other stories making news around the world saudi arabia says it will not extradite two suspects wanted in turkey for the killing of journalist. turkish prosecutors a filed warrants for the arrest of a top saudi aid on the country's deputy head of foreign intelligence was last seen alive through king into the saudi consulate in istanbul in early october. a drive by shooting in the occupied west bank has left at least seven people wounded
