is a lengthy wins a landslide victory in the presidential runoff for the incumbent better for it's a crushing defeat. and a letter to a survivor of the find out how school students are pledging never to forget the holocaust but those who experienced it the horrors appear to leave the stage. the sri lankan government has confirmed that police received a tip off ahead of the bombings of churches and hotels that killed at least two hundred ninety people on sunday but an official spokesman said the information was not bastone to the prime minister or any of his cabinet members another explosive went off today as a bomb disposal team try to defuse it they have been no immediate reports of

injuries from that blast so far no one has claimed responsibility for the attacks but officials believe a local extremist group was behind them. the bombings and attacks 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. the beginning of us 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 astra 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 us britain turkey india china portugal and denmark. we. alongside the sadness there is also disbelief and a growing sense of outrage and this is a very sad moment this is a very public believe. it to. be said it's not just i mean it's a pretty girl who submits. in the aftermath of the carnage sri lanka is a nation in shock and looking for answers. i spoke.

with dean she's the editor of news in asia and she was kept in colombo i asked her to tell us more about clean's from sri lanka's health ministry that in looking around at the group was behind this attack and why it might have sold to bomb targets has meaning that they've mentioned a short while ago that a local of the radical group called the national how he was responsible for the attack and he also said that they were probing this group had any fighting being local media reports according president might have participated and also said sharp right or that the president is going to cause pain to be very. effective which means that dammy has been out for in hand behind these attacks i want to am up to the core. product increase and all candidate go watch it because i need the funding to get. grey obvious that the fact that they have mud on easter sunday to mean

target was getting requests. for intelligence officials apparently received warnings about these attacks ahead of time on questions being also so why this information was not passed on to the relevant departments and to ding the prime minister. there any day the sense of betrayal which has. been the prime minister and every time i think. night saying that intelligence in cars. that was attacked the terror attacks but then not being had been done in fact he said that fifteen m. says and he's kind enough when he says we're not kept in fall so they've been sent to recreate the knowledge good evening spread obviously people are angry but the government is looking into anything fact the government ministers and the prime minister him set of have said that they want to launch an investigation into why this information was not cost on to the relevant cabinet minister and infact just

a short while ago one of the cabinet minister says the call for all the sacking off because police chiefs all of these makes coming a condition so that's not what the editor of news in asia speaking to us from colombo the details because for a new mission i just want to also colombo at the site of one of sunday's attacks she sent us this update. we're here outside the funk hotel in colombo one of the places where blasts off on the sunday of east eight different explosions are all across colombo as well as other locations in few lanka behind me you can see the shangri-la you can see the restaurant where the blast ripped through even not able to gain access to one of the main churches which was hit because it has been cordoned off and the city remains tense traffic has started up again there was a core fuel from six pm last evening east to evening up on to six am this morning

and while traffic has resumed locals here tell us that it is far lower than it usually is for this time or for of the day or for this kind of a monday and the streets of course are ten one ministry spokesperson has named a group the group itself has so far not come out to claim responsibility but ministry officials are coming out and saying that another could if you will be imposed tonight from eight pm till four am a national emergency is also expected to set in tonight and tomorrow is has been declared a national day of mourning at least two hundred ninety deaths have already been reported dozens of these have been ordered us sri lanka remain stands and the country is in mourning so that was the day of news and nima just to let me now draw in pyongyang to one party donna she is a south asia region research and with amnesty international welcome to now as we said one minister said radical group was behind these attacks in sri lanka has it

been a history of tension between the muslim and christian minorities in the country. not to my knowledge no of there has been a lot of tension between religious communities and that's between the buddhists and muslims as well as buddhist but it's meaning not all the more you get screaming. against christians as well especially evangelicals but if it's what hearing now sort of in munich france between christians and muslims it's not so. and this is the worst violence in sri lanka since the end of the civil war ten years ago how much of a setback is this for a country which had only recently begun killing after decades of violence i think. healing is a difficult one because i think successive governments even parliament in the end

of the war hasn't been doing sufficient or an acceptable level of course walaker reconciliation in terms of truth in sense of justice getting answers we disappear to girls girls issues and still being carrying on but in the midst of that i think a lot of people have just started getting what it was like you know we're used by them. and this is and in these actually reminding us of what it was like. between before two thousand and nine and it's really shocking it comes as something that's very surprising. but in fact this some discussion that political tensions within the government between the prime minister and the president led to some communication failures in intelligence a head of these attacks we heard one correspondent talk about a sense of betrayal that people are feeling what do you make of that. that seems to be what's coming out especially since the prime minister's statement last night

where he said that he has he nor the cabinet minister is going to be aware of these kits that have apparently been reported earlier but that seems to be a fair assessment and i think the tensions between the president and prime minister have been. coming to. i mean we've been experiencing that since last year and we saw that this is especially in october when the president actually removed the sitting prime minister and appointed it in one so those tensions have been ongoing it's hard to see that play in her role in this but it certainly appears that way. but it ana from amnesty international thank you very much. now for a look at some of the stories making news around the world five people are reported to have been killed after an earthquake hit the northern philippines thousands fled

to their offices and homes in the capital money and 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 president a van and two k. has been to inspect the damage in the mountainous southwest of the country rescue workers are still searching for victims. opposition protesters in sudan have broken off talks with the ruling military council after diffused the hand of a pilot to a civilian led government sudan has been under the control since former president omar al bashir was forced to resign two weeks ago. to ukraine now where the comedian of aldermen the lenski has won a landslide victory in the presidential election with the count almost complete zelinsky has taken seventy three percent of the vote while the incumbent bets

reporter sankoh has managed only twenty four percent it's a crushing defeat for ukraine's political establishment is especially given that selenski has no political experience. it was a stunning victory for a political novice selenski has appended the status quo in ukraine shortly after exit polls delivered him a landslide he addressed his supporters on social media. team but he says 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 we united our country the streets you know let's go. there. the result was a bitter blow for incumbent petro poroshenko. you conceded defeat the divide to stay in politics par schank i had presented himself as an experience pair of hands

but it seems many ukrainians were looking for a fresh approach when he says i think we'll see some changes let's hope there for the better and that ukraine see some real development but you know the most important thing is that the war and the solution. you have to move the system with nothing to lose things can't get any worse than they already selenski as young and full of energy lighting care if he's an actor and a clown we're going to see some big changes he'll be better than force one hundred percent. but if you craniums believe fail to solve their problems it's not clear high zelinsky will either the closest 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 preach to voters helping him in an era of

change. and this is i'm joined by you haven't had the political scientists in kiev a welcome is to 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 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 was where mr zilinskas going to take his country it's. a very good question what his stands are he was trying to conduct to 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 is 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 a 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 let their interim of that people. had accumulated through the last century ukraine was under to fill 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 the questions of money still a billionaire businessman who is shot is a famous what does the 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 call to bill 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 the constable enough most 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. getting to spain which is gearing up for a general election next week and it will be the third in just four years as a country struggles to find a way out of political turmoil prime minister predator sanches called the election early after losing the support of lawmakers from gotta lonia one party which is surging in the polls is a smaller far right euro skeptic fox party it sees itself as a potential ally in a possible write in coalition but vox is divisive agenda and rhetoric harking back to the days of the franco dictatorship has alarmed many in spain. 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 pistol you and press the trigger with no bullet for this and that split second or two things can happen you can just stand there speechless like i did or you fall apart. or so the. mayor fears that right wing populist are gaining support in twenty eighteen the far right box party took a leaven percent of the vote and the lucy has regional elections now the country is heading into a general election. if it does it would have better i feel safe today but i'm very worried because a political force like box is yearning for

a time in which we lived under a dictatorship of. the far right the box party wants to unseat the socialist the crowd of fox 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. grail cure for the frankie. yes once a band he was the lesser of two evils in this regard world ok it was a dictatorship but a homeless one. yes to 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. the people here the rise of the far right is

a shock. they want to read conquests 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 but for our children our grandchildren. 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 a darker side draw the best out of it and take pride in it that 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. let's listen to

energy fees she is one of 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 needed their mission to keep memories of her alive and those of other holocaust survivors even after they've gone. when i was told how you were separated from your mama i started to cry. i for me it would be the worst thing in the world to lose my mama and you were so strong and brave that. a fifteen year old students let search and a difference read by by nessa isin arch 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 are now the phrase was sitting

anti semitism was widespread in germany targeting her so to order a mother. stored in the i have a stall in youth behind me. i had no use at all and thanks to naziism. on being subjected to hostile remarks and being excluded. it was horrible especially for a child. mr friess back then the number that the nazis had 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. erna 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 told anna you must 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 pro checked called second witnesses be tall a course of overs and tell their stories to others like of to school in south bend germany after 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 less ice in heart also tells us that and if peace worked as a nurse before the war that she wanted to become a doctor that she talks about her family and how sure appear 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 so 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. about this guy 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 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 mention i've run out of life. in the end these students write letters to and i did freeze personal messages that i send 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 as happy that

her family helped her to make a life for herself after the war now she's 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. has a recap of the top story the feel another explosion in sri lanka up at this time the bomb squad destroying an unexploded device the government has confirmed that police received a tip off the head of sunday's bombing but the information was not the cost on to the prime minister and his cabinet. you're watching the news coming up next in the news. again just as india's school district but and also one of its most polluted why is the cleanup so hot to do. and thailand's floating temple that's become
