went off today as a bomb disposal team try to diffuse that they've been no immediate reports of injuries from the blast so far no one has claimed responsibility for the attacks but officials believe a local extremist group was behind them. the bombings have left families in grief and shock around the country. this woman is being forced to endure what no parent wants to go through. she's waiting outside the hospital hoping to hear news of her daughter the teenager went to one of the churches attacked on easter sunday and hasn't been seen since to begin before we kept calling her after we heard of the incident but there was no response we didn't hear from her even in the night that is why we came here first thing in the morning.

for others the certainty of knowing brings no relief. as the scale of the tragedy starts to sink in many are unable to contain their grief. most of the dead austria lankan many including at this church north of the capital where children. dozens of foreigners were also killed among those who lost their lives on nationals from the u.s. britain turkey india china portugal and denmark. but you. along side the sadness there is also disbelief and a growing sense of outrage this is a very sad moment this is a very public believe. it to. be said it's not just an attack it's a pretty gross to some extent on humanity. in the aftermath of the carnage

sure lank is a nation in shock and looking for answers. and the song goes straight to colombo have on the line and. she's the editor of news in asia jim media news of another explosion in the sri lankan capital and what's been happening. yet so we are hearing reports that there has been another mine explosion in iraq a skeptic or colombo in an area called. to say that any church is located. what we are hearing according to the authorities is that the. talks were when the bomb disposal card was applying to defuse it so so far that has been going to be reported. so we should understand this as a new born but not a new attack so what else are apologies finding. very basic i mean didn't particular case authorities have found an abandoned way he could cost

around fifty meters away from the tent and then the church ain't going to cut it where one of the bombs went off the day getting several people when they were trying to turn it to defuse the bomb the bomb exploded the according to the controlled explosion which is why no injuries. have been reported now just a short while ago of the police also found eighty seven really explosives vendor in that crumbled main bus station and at the same time yes the deny the police also recovered and not the bomb which was a consulate in close proximity to the monday and i think a national that for so several bombs are being bought being the pilot and the police at the expense fully thing is so the situation still seems to me as people start building the did what security measures are being put in place. and then tonight the government the president michel platini senate office released

a sharp shock statement saying that state of emergency declared from midnight tonight. and at the same time security is remaining i think the maximum never seen the explosion vs the date now most of the time of the victims are going to be very tomorrow which is why the government has declared a national day of mourning at the same time the police is saying that just stepped on the field forms if there is any work or else paying those now in today there are almost all the shops and schools and fifteen to two seasons remain closed following the explosions yesterday so we are not seeing much movement on the roads all the all what we can see is a very heavy police and military presence on their own. security has been beefed up a tremendously and the health minister came looking a radical group was behind these explosions what well can you tell us about this

group and why would an attack christians don't it's like churches and luxury hotels . well yes that has communities that dave mentioned the talk while ago that the locos of the radical group called the national town he's just not the lodge responsible for the attacks and he also said that they were probing to see if this group had any farting brings the local me get it both courting present my participation i also said a short while ago that the president is going to cause pain to nationalise eastern people he's at that speech itself against that demi has being a foreign hand behind these attacks what the am of these cool. talking christan and all happen it go was she put it on the sunday is yet not clear but it's very obvious that the fact that they had mud on easter sunday to them and talk about was catholic well she says intelligence officials apparently received warnings about the downside of time whistles being also why this information was not passed on to

the deliberate departments into being the prime minister. that he could a defense of recreated because top surface the evidence prime minister on it become a thing to publicly announce it last night saying that they think intelligence was informed that that was a threat to offer terror attacks that much then nothing had been done in fact he said that the f.e.m.a. says and his cabinet of ministers were not kept informed so they gave a sense of the creole knowledge go to being spread obviously people are a bit angry but the government is looking into it in fact the government ministers and the prime minister himself have said that they're going to launch an investigation into why this information was not possible on to that island cabinet minister and in fact just a short while ago one of the cabinet ministers as the cause for all the sacking of the longest police chief of all of these miscommunication. jimmy knowledge would

be in thank you very much for being us up to date on the situation at a very difficult time for she lanka. that may not be up to some of the stories making news around the five people are reported to have been killed after an earthquake hit the northern philippines constans fled their offices and homes in the competition money into the quake measuring a magnitude of six point three caused blackouts in some areas. at least seventeen people are reported dead in colombia after heavy rains set off a landslide and blocked the pan-american highway present even to key has been to inspect the damage in the monsoon the southwest of the country risky work as a still searching for victims. opposition protesters in sudan have broken off talks with the ruling military council off to defuse to hand over power to a civilian led government saddam has been under the control since former president

omar a machine was forced to resign two weeks ago. do you create now where the comedian of all to me is the lenski has won a landslide victory in the presidential election with a count almost complete selenski has taken seventy three percent of the vote while the incumbent but supporter shingo has managed only twenty four that's a crushing defeat for ukraine's political establishment specially given that selenski has no political experience. it was a stunning victory for a political novice demas in n.c. has appended the status quo in ukraine shortly after exit polls delivered him a landslide he addressed his supporters on social media. to what he said hello everyone which was i wanted to thank all of you for joining me on this journey for the four months of important work great work that you did we did it together we united ukraine we united our people united our country must not let us

know. the result was a bitch have loads. incumbent petro poroshenko who conceded defeat the divide to stay in politics par shango had presented himself as an experienced pair of hands but it seems many ukrainians were looking for a fresh approach where when he says i think we'll see some changes let's hope there for the better and that ukraine sees some real development but you know the most important thing is that the war and the solution. you have to move the system we've nothing to lose things can't get any worse than they already are selenski as young and full of energy fighting care if he's an actor and a clown we're going to see some big changes he'll be better than portion one hundred percent. but if you craniums believe fail to solve their problems it's not clear hi zelinsky will either the close as he's being to political power is playing

a fictional president in a sitcom. and while his campaign with media savvy it was light on concrete policy ideas he inherits a country burdened by a separatist war in the east rampant corruption and a sluggish economy selenski has much to prevent his helping him in an era of change . and this is i'm joined by you have been head of its political scientists in kiev and welcome mr have a big scheme what. is that incredible success in this election. well first of all it's the end of the mists of ukrainian nationalism of posing significant threat in ukraine actually ukraine and israel are now the only two countries in the world where both the president and the prime ministers are jewish but seriously talking about the poli sci issues it's

a good question of where mr zilinskas going to take his country it's. a very good question what his stands are he was trying to conduct a complain that was focused on. the weaknesses of the incumbent mr bush encore and he was actually a more efficient in. criticizing mr bush unquote than in actually proposing what he is about to do so for many people in ukraine it's a good question what exactly is the future agenda that mr selenski is going to pursue the people have voted him in by a huge landslide a given is the lack of political experience what to do you create means hope to get from the new president. i think this is part of what we see in other european countries as well there's a huge and systemic backlash people are voting not for particular

offers on the table but they're actually voting against the existing system in ukraine this issue is excess or baited by the years off to the literary and trauma that people. had accumulated through the last century ukraine was under to still a tarion rule for a few generations not and they were fifteen years like other countries on the european continent so we have to understand that the figure of seventy two percent consists for the large part not only with hopes but also with a lot of pain that people have taken not from the vector of reforms but from the way how reforms work and conduct it but they ask questions among. a billionaire businessman who is shot is a famous what does a lens his critics fear might happen. zilinskas critics are fearful that actually selenski is a troyan horse that will bring in the old oligarchs to the nest and basically what

that selenski critics are saying that he himself is not actually capable of governing bt he will be a run by some other people who would like to stay on the council and the risk with that is that there will be a significant social protest against this the decision of moving towards european integration has been made in the society and if the president would try to reverse it there would be a significant amount of protests in ukraine which in conditions all for war and many people being able to use arms professionally is really troubling and what the incumbent petro poroshenko he has conceded defeat but he says he is going to stay on in politics how do you see that playing out. has quite a record of achievement of the same time he has accumulated quite

a lot of criticism for not being accountable enough not hearing the people not hearing the pain from inside the society which basically was one of the reasons why he was voted out but at the same time his twenty five percent of supporters is actually a very strong core and these twenty five percent of supporters are not about to be demobilized that they are actually planning to stay active and resist should there be attempts to change the direction in which ukraine is moving so you have a political scientist in can thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us on. turning now to egypt where people are voting for a third and final day in a referendum on constitutional amendments that would allow president of the fatah el-sisi to remain in office until two thousand and thirty voters are expected to

back the changes a supporter says these would give as sisi more time to complete major projects critics however fear it would mean more authoritarian jor el's sisi came to pass to leading a military coup in two thousand and thirteen. turning to spain now which is gearing up for a general election next weekend it will be the third in just four years as the country struggles to find a way out of political turmoil prime minister pederast sanchez called the election early after losing the support of lawmakers from catalonia one party that is surging in the polls is a small far right euro skeptic party called vox it sees itself as a potential ally in a possible right wing coalition but opponents say vox is divisive agenda inflammatory rhetoric and dangerous. it was the most terrible experience of his life billy merrow was just nineteen when he was thrown into this prison in madrid.

today it's hard to imagine the horrors that took place here during the fascist regime of francisco franco to force mayor to speak the police staged his execution . when they point to post and press the trigger with no bullet in that split second two things can happen you can just stammer speechless like i did or you fall apart. or so that. the young communist did not reveal any names his time in prison in the early one nine hundred seventy s. helped spur his decision to enter politics where here benchley served as m.e.p. for the united left block mayor fears that right wing populist are gaining support in twenty eighteen. the far right box party took eleven percent of the vote and to lucy has regional election now the country is heading into a general election. if it would appear i feel safe today but i'm very worried

because a political force like vox is yearning for a time in which we lived under a dictatorship of. the far right box party wants to unseat the socialist the crowd of vox supporters have come to this bullfighting are enough for a rally many have written the slogan spain for the spanish on their flags they want to ban abortion and same sex marriage and they glorify the years under the dictatorship. grayle if we the frank a years weren't so bad it was the lesser of two evils in this regard for the ok it was a dictatorship but a homeless one. yes the me i would guess that if i'm proud of spain's history thanks to franco spain made progress and became what it is today. for franco's victims and their families sentiments like these are a slap in the face for nine years they've been demonstrating every thursday in the center of madrid. they're calling for truth justice and retribution they

say the dead should be exempt from mass graves and given a proper burial and their murderers and torturers brought to justice for the people here the rise of the far right is a shock. to brighten their lot and they want to recant ques a recount quest can you believe it this is a disgrace to spain. that's why we're here demonstrating against fascism not for ourselves we're old they're not but for our children our grandchildren are near. the crimes of the dictatorship have been swept under the carpet agrees nicholas sanchez. under franco he became a forced labor he fled spain and only returned after franco's death he wrote a book about his life spain's younger generation he believes has learned far too little about the horrors of the dictatorship that's why many are now joining the

far right. haven't properly grappled with our own history or thoughts we had an entire series of very conservative governments. they made sure that schoolchildren never learned about what actually happened in this country. a lot of data and the night that we had a dictatorship. spain's history has divided the country far right box leaders santiago rejects the notion that any form of reckoning or redress is necessary to come to terms with franco's nearly forty year dictatorship but you only look are you going to apologize for our history we should acknowledge its glory its darker side draw the best out of it and take pride in it you know your really mayor is dismayed and angry at the spanish left which he says failed to counter the rise of the far right he hopes the radical right won't have

a strong showing in the general election and become kingmakers in a new conservative government as they did in andalusia. not a that was one of the most terrible nights of my life. or that after so many years of struggle and sacrifice of this of after so many disappeared so many who were forced to flee so many who were tortured this would be a step backwards it would be like starting over again at zero the third of. the mayor says he won't give up he'll continue to fight for a just and lightened and modern spain. let's listen to the fees she's not the last survivors of the holocaust in germany at the age of ninety five it's getting harder for her to tell her story in public a group of young people have made it their mission to keep her memories alive and

those of other hundred. survivors even after they've gone. before when i was told how you were separated from your mama i started to cry for me it would be the worst thing in the world to lose my mama and you were so strong and brave for. a fifteen year old students let search and a difference read by nessa eyes and heart who has taken on the mission after telling the old lady story. this was one of the hardest things for me at the camp saying goodbye to my mother i knew for sure that she would never leave auschwitz again and our noted freeze was a teen anti semitism was widespread in germany targeting her us adored her for tuition mother. stored in the i have a stall in youth behind me. i had no use at all thanks to naziism.

on being subjected to hostile remarks and being excluded and it was horrible especially for a child for. mr friess back then the number that the nazis ted spears and her in the concentration camp were up to her of her identity lost a girl if i had had it removed i would have a scar here and that would remind me as well. i just always reminds you that you can't do anything about it. in a different has survived the holocaust but she never saw her mother again and that is probably murder to turn our streets before they were separated she taught anna you must fight you must survive and tell the world what they did to us and she has done that all her life but at ninety five years old it's getting more difficult that's why vanessa eyes and heart has taken over she and other students taking part

in the project called second witnesses mittal of course survivors and tell their stories to others like up to school and sell them germany. she said it was basically a death train they were being loaded into a cattle car she said we stood packed tightly as sardines but as i said the heart also tells us that and i did for peace worked as a nurse before the war that she wanted to become a doctor that she talks about her family and how sure appeared to be met plans to emigrate to israel plans that never came to anything. i mean listen listen up stories like these show what happens when you leave room for racism and anti semitism that if you give it enough space it can no longer be changed back there's so many parallels with the present such as losing your home and that's something that flows through the entire story interesting. issue but i was just about to cry but i didn't after all i think are will to survive and tell her story is really

great to your sister it's and for most. of us i think that you have to open some people's eyes because they think that something like this can never happen again but i think that some people are still too gullible and i've run out of life. in the end these students write letters to and i did freeze personal messages that i've been hard brings to her. still of course it pleases me that they let someone read to them and tell them the story. often people just aren't interested. into it are no different just happy that her family helped her to make a life for herself after the war now she is counting on the young people who know her story to tell it when she is no longer around. i hope that this somehow stays in people's minds and that it won't be forgotten. here's
