welcome to. it's good to have you with us we begin in india where people are at the polls today to elect a new parliament and prime minister narendra modi from the ruling in the nationalist b j p is seeking a second term. of the opposition congress party run. the election is the world's biggest with nine hundred million voters eligible to vote they have to elect five hundred forty three m.p.'s to the lower house of parliament . has been spread out across the cut in seven phases today the polls across twenty states and territories all. the country this includes. a state

with sense of number of m.p.'s to parliament key to the election will be a number of first time voters aged eighteen to nineteen. traveled to one of them using his talents to get his. twenty year old. frankie would be voting in india's general election for the first time. and he wants others to do. his song. to cast the ballot. in these times it's easy to get manipulated there are lots of.

truths and hard. paddled everywhere it's all mixed up. socially conscious music with such as the futility of rising incidents of sexual assault and peer pressure. is little creation it plays on a popular radio station in calcutta. franke says he wrote it in a couple of hours since he felt so strongly about the topic. but the. first. were decide the future you know it's. the youth of today probably have the least knowledge about politics so i felt it's important to shake them up and urge them to do some research and be aware before they cast their vote . if that's what the rapper often does with his own friends who also post on.

social media is where they go to for information. to the frankie shows them a video of a popular you to create or group who makes him the language of videos analyzing political issues. this guy doesn't give opinions he gives a lot of facts and data he mentions his sources you get a lot of information on social media but there's also a lot of misinformation it's hard to know what's real and what's not. it's a message that has massive implications for india a staggering eighty four million people will be casting ballots for the first time in this election young voters could have a huge influence on the outcome for some casting their vote is an exciting thing of each moment but others are disenchanted. by you know fixated i know i was at the same thing how the country when we take in forward in the part of progress i think

that is the me in my gun toting is important but. i wish there was some. land on my way to give my fate to the new government because they want india into a hindu nation if that happens where we muslims go. to frankly to the rise of religious intolerance under prime minister nuri in the movies watch at the expense of muslims like him is a major problem. for the. news like unemployment and poverty are huge but now there are religious tensions and hatreds that's a new issue india is so diverse it has so many religions you can't afford to fuel hatred among people which ever government comes to power i appeal to them to please and this. for young voters like frankie the very post

election is the same and it won a battle for the idea of india as a tall different democracy but a space for everyone and you must remember that voters like frankie eighty four million first time voters in this election. correspondent michelle just spoke to another first time voter and began by asking her what her hopes and expectations from the next government. i guess i. wasn't i was just getting out of college i want more joel whopper to need because unemployment is is something that scares us few would because we want to work but we don't have that work opportunity and i think the second most important thing woman myself would be women safety because we can see in the past things have not worked out that well but hopefully in the future if they go man is that. they've been vigilant you might have some

prospectors for women and more experienced workers of course a lot so be a deciding factor mom what do you want from the next government basically the same thing employment for my kids and of course better infrastructure if. safety for women goes is a major issue as a as a mother i would want to feel safe as my girl is coming out from job or a party anywhere it should be her right at all times but joining us for more dollars on truth about he's the founder of. the use a digital platform that publishes content from young people in india i'm so glad you could make it this is the first election in india's history where you have fifteen million young voters aged eighteen to nineteen years who. vote how significant a moment is this for india. well see that you said that it should have been. your

question actually i mean you can see but it's also you're going to get you don't want me to suck. a big moment we're going to be particularly because is the cost and you have such a dodge. that you still get it when we go into the will to see if this one somebody's going to be involved because that idea. that is the bomb this. let it go up i'll have. more of it and soon and sort of even the back end of the betting closed. and most of the bottoms that exact off are going to. be about so i think just in that one visit i think it's a bit more info. there that they will standing. beside the thing that in terms of talking to young people do something that your organization is doing as well you care of us conducts ahead of the election just

trying to gauge the mood of the young people what is it that you want to follow and what issues that are important to you on people. you know of course the source of your opinion about our jobs and got of of a rock band it is not a million people eat about it but also. they can. see. if this is going to. say she has got to be action specially that this is a nothing about going to finish most of these the actually did a survey at one of the emails and yet didn't come up to us and she almost was one of those who said. that it's on the other. randomly because the politicians have gone on about issues that affect them and the unique circumstance that the model of the what the what actions not is actually going to. use this

and what is it actually going up what are important concerns finally making the national and international mills until they're already funded have you care about thank you so much for speaking to us. to south korea next what a law that has been in force for six to six years we're now soon be defunct the abortion law in acted in one hundred fifty three has been ruled to be unconstitutional by the constitutional court it has ordered it scrapped by the end of next year until then the current law remains in effect which means abortions are illegal except in cases of rape incest or when the mother's health is at risk women who undergo the procedures and the doctors who carry them out the face criminal charges and jail time opponents of the ban had this to say after the verdict. i understand and respect the voices of those who oppose this ruling. however our

position doesn't mean that we don't care for the life so often bone babies. those women who had to resort to apportion respects to life's often born babies oh we brought this case forward because we found it and just put the law to punish women who had no other choice but to terminate a pregnancy. that will. now activists also say the official ban left women at risk of unsafe procedures and social stigma but support for the law by social conservatives had remained staunch double correspondent fabiani was outside the constitutional court and he told us what the verdict means for women seeking abortions in south korea. so effective the issue was rarely enforced you had in the last five years thirty to forty doctors and nurses who were actually prosecuted because of the law and thirty to forty. women who were prosecuted but abortion

services are usually offered in secret hidden and they carry a big social stigma so many women for example prefer to travel to china and get abortion services there or also were rejected several times so actually it is a big step but it's more about a social taboo that is slowly beginning beginning to lift on the topic and we did have a corresponding five encroachment of vaulting from seoul for us that story and more on our website that still have a dot com forward slash and you can check us out on facebook as well. it's not social because they were needed all the time for this trophy modified with elephants to celebrate a song cross the tide consuming start by. playing .
