socialist politics triumphs in spain incumbent prime minister pedro sanchez says progressive politics one. of the spaniards have sent a very clear and categorical message to europe and to the world that it is possible to win against reactionary authoritarian and repressive politics with progressive proposals. but forming a ruling coalition won't be easy on likely allies the anti austerity far left party put day most led by pavlo iglesias. the election mobilized a huge number of people over seventy five percent of the electorate including those who support the far right. and her vox and anti immigration anti-feminist party that's the first time a far right party has gained seats in spain's parliament since the days of general franco. was
8:03 am
a star so no three see below this is only the beginning we told you about our goal to initiate the reconquista and that's exactly what we have done. this is a reconquista with the voice of parliament as of today we can now say loud and clear to the entire country that vox has come to stay. the country's mainstream conservative party the people's party suffered big losses it was their worst election to date. spanish politics like elsewhere is becoming more polarized. the election was pitched by prime minister sanchez a socialist as a bid to stop the far right now i've been very happy because i thought that the extreme right would win a lot more but spain reacted to stop that so i'm very very happy. to social aswan but for the first time since the end of the military dictatorship the far right are now part of spain's international politics. let's go straight to
8:04 am
madrid for the latest now did abuse lisa lois good morning lisa this is a qualified victory wearing for the socialists isn't it which parties will the prime minister sanchez now be reaching out to to form some type of stable coalition . well it's going to be really tricky but he actually has about two possibilities so on the one hand he could team up with the father left when he does put him on that won't be enough for majority though so we'll need to bring in many other smaller parties like for example the catalan or the basque independent party and it. separatist party the other possibility would be to team up with the market liberal see that than us and that would give him the majority in parliament coalition wise that would be easier when it comes to the ideology though it's going to be tricky this election campaign is very much along logical lines and it's kind
8:05 am
of difficult to see how these two parties that were very much fighting with each other about economic programs but also mainly balls at the catalonian questions question will then come together and form a coalition pact ok no he's on the other side of this illogical divide that you mentioned is the far right box party how will they be influencing national politics now that they take up the seats in parliament. well vox has gotten into parliament will get into parliament for the first time since the end of the franco dictatorship forty years ago. they will have a voice there they will not be able to block any laws but they will be able to very much influence the national debate as they have during this election campaign and that will probably leave the country more divided than before hand ok another element leading to indicative of rather the erosion of the political center is the
8:06 am
poor showing by the country's conservatives what happened to the conservative party . while it was quite a disaster really they plummeted they only left with very few seats to compared to what they had before hand at least now during the election campaign they already moved very much to the riaa trying to grab some of the votes that might go to books looks like see a guy that knows the market liberal party might be become the right's number one party in the near future at least if this trend continues so there's a lot of soul searching to be done by the people's party the cattle on independence movement has been dominating spanish politics for a while now where does this election leave them where are the colonial separatists at this point. well it really depends on what the outcome of the coalition talks will be obviously they have gained some seats in parliament but that will not
8:07 am
be enough to make sure that the that the government takes a softer stance if they don't get into parliament if pm so he teams up with here sooner than us it might be really complicated for them if p.s.a. goes down the need as put in most and other paci you know smaller posse rage that might actually be good for them because then there would be more of an open door to some kind of conciliatory talks lisa thanks very much for that from madrid lisa lewis for us this morning. it's to mozambique now where thousands of people are struggling with the effects of a second sark loan as many months cycling kind of inflicting widespread damage on sunday and now the country is bracing for yet more severe flooding. after the storm the rain. drenching downpours and swelling reversed and washing away houses. here in the north of mozambique nature's fury has been unleashed and
8:08 am
the danger is far from over six hundred people died from the flooding caused by psych tony di six weeks ago so i can kind of it's predicted to cost twice as much rainfall as this deadly predecessor. already communities have been devastated by the storm's destructive force. the wind destroyed the farms and the palm trees the farms don't have anything we lost everything on the farms here in the village as you see three hundred houses have been destroyed. i'm not going to build anything else because i had two houses in the shop everything is destroyed i don't have the means to rebuild i'll just try to rebuild one home and i probably can't even do that. it is the first time in recorded history that mozambique has been hit by two cycles in one season. aid agencies have
8:09 am
been working frantically to deal with the fallout from. now have even more work on their hands. time now to turn to some of the other stories making the news this hour americans on board to afghanistan says the taliban must accept changes the country has gone through since they were ousted in two thousand and one. was speaking in head of a grand council or loya jirga starting on monday in kabul president musharraf's ghani told the meeting to push for direct peace talks with the radical islamists. scotland's first minister nicola sturgeon says she will do whatever it takes to keep the nation in the european union she told her scottish national party's spring conference that britain's parliamentary system is broken and the scotland to make its own choice over its future. ukraine's president elect is a lenski has promised to grant ukrainian citizenship to russians who quote suffer

8:11 am
interviews jared reed standing by in istanbul where this launch is taking place good morning jack what's the shelling going to look like. well this channel is going to be telling the stories about various aspects of turkish society that people leaving here turkey speakers might not necessarily get from them media these are stories like this situation for muslims who fled persecution in china what's life like for them here what's life like for people living across turkey also economic questions to the state of the building industry it's in crisis at the moment and what can be done about that venture some of the videos that are going to be covered in this channel it's also hope that the channel will become a place where people can debate issues that are important to them on a channel that's independent and i guess this is where the expertise of these broadcasters who you mentioned comes into play these internationally renowned
8:12 am
broadcasters who have journalistic know how and pooling their resources together in a really extraordinary way a really cool way that hasn't really been done before and yeah i think it's going to set an example for increased media freedoms hopefully and and be another player on the media scene here in turkey ok you can broaden this a little bit for us to give us an idea about some of the market segments specifically those you tube channels aiming to attract. wants to attract people who. sees because people are aged under thirty five are about half of turkey's population and like a lot of under thirty five year olds they're increasingly getting their news on their mobile phones online and this is critical because you choose. what this channel is based on is the world's biggest video sharing size and of course the
8:13 am
biggest one here in turkey and i think they also want to attract people who are in for. i don't necessarily know why things are happening as they are here in turkey and people who might as i said earlier feel under represented in the coverage gerrard revenge so much for that on this new addition to the turkish media landscape. this is news still to come on the show women struggling for a voice in indian politics we have the campaign trail was one of the few female candidates running in this election. and the end of an era japan's emperor akihito prepares to try to keep his throne a look at his legacy. but first sudanese protesters are telling a breakthrough in talks with no terry leaders have agreed to form a joint council to pave the way for civilian rule so dance veteran leader omar al

8:15 am
photos for his fellow students and. in many ways the ongoing fittin has become a microcosm of what the people here want their student to be walking around you can feel the pride they have not only in reclaiming public space but also their freedom gatherings like this would not have been possible under the old regime. a larger art movement has emerged from the uprising even this billboard has taken on new meaning protesters have hung. clothing in honor of military personnel who disobeyed orders and with fused to open fire at them and they're all mad and vicious. comment says his photography not only documents the revolution it is also a way to help the people who needed. to get out of this picture shows a man waving a flag as he is being loaded on to the back of a truck. i would beating him and punching him so that he put the flag down by some chance to sit on holding up the flag hard and so out of. the picture help to get
8:16 am
this man released because it spread so much so they were able to locate him and have him freed. your pattern for passers by mohammed's work reflect a turning point for sudan and its people. i feel love when i see the details of these pictures the sadness where. these pictures are an expression of the bravery the strength and the patriotism of people who have overcome thirty years of oppression under a corrupt regime. to display shows that sudan has a lot of artists and people with many talents. and good mohammad realizes that this newfound freedom is very fragile and that a lot of work needs to be done for the spirit of decision to be made a political reality. we learned as a people that we can be united and we can be one hand in this transitional period we the sudanese people have to accept each other. hama does not know
8:17 am
what exactly the future holds for sudan but he is determined to bear witness to it with his camera. a new report put out by separating the stock all international peace research institute shows an increase in global military spending most of that driven by the united states which in two thousand and eighteen spent about as much on its malt areas the next eight countries. china eastern european nations are also spending more on their national defense. military preparedness calls for tanks bombs and grenades in the face of growing global tensions many countries are arming themselves more than ever. between nine hundred ninety eight and twenty eighteen worldwide defense spending rose almost continuously with one plateau to nearly two trillion dollars a year in twenty eighteen
8:18 am
a sharp increase over twenty seventeen the u.s. is by far the biggest spender on weapons and it shows no sign of changing course in twenty eighteen washington increased its military spending for the first time in seven years. china has the second largest defense budget which it also boosted in twenty eighteen saudi arabia a traditionally well armed country with the third largest budget reduced it spending india and france increase their defense budgets last year as did russia. major world powers china and india have outpaced russia in their defense spending which is why the asia pacific region is sent to be arming itself by contrast african countries spending on weapons has declined. eastern europe and parts of the middle east have also reduced their defense budgets according to available data.
8:19 am
but that has no bearing on the overall trend for many countries the requirements for security have never been higher. it's to india now and the halfway point in that country's mammoth thirty nine day general election is the biggest the world has ever seen and though women make up about half of india's nine hundred million voters are still massively under-represented in politics in this election less than eight percent of women did have your correspondence on a fall a car followed one of them on the campaign trail in west bengal the fourth phase of the staggered election is getting underway there. it's early morning in this legal it's not the district politics here is a festive appears it's dominated by the ruling tea and see what their name will

congress party and the start of the show here is the party's. she quit a prestigious job as president of j.p. morgan in london in two thousand and eight. return to india and plunged into politics fulfilling a known killed three. when i was a kid if you asked me what i wanted to become you know i never said. i wasn't i want to be the i want to be. my throws been doing that as an elected local for the last four years. she's now i have a seat in the national parliament there's little doubt about who's in charge here she's angry about a change in the route the former investment banker is a race site indian politics still largely a boys' club she draws curious crowds mainly women in these parts but the forty two year old who's also a national spokesperson for her party dismisses any questions about agenda and
8:21 am
politics. i think of myself as a politician i don't think. i think the very women's issues if you're fighting such basic grassroots politics if you've got a bad road it's a bad road that i one walks on that it's a bad road that up a man walks on so i don't think that i can make a road that only women will walk on so i think most issues here are issues that are generic for everybody you know poverty infrastructure drinking water. through attributes hopefully to can rise to hard work and passion it's part she believes is open to any woman willing to take. her own party t.m.c. is heavily promoting women candidates the push has come from the very top which when all is currently the only state in india that's led by a woman chief minister months of his often described as a firebrand leader and is a bloke an opponent a prime minister of rainfall and in this election it's building women in the record
8:22 am
forty one percent think home party it's interesting. it's the highest number in this election but that doesn't mask the fact that india has one of the world's lowest rates of female lawmakers in parliament at just eleven percent so i mean the experts the parties need to do much more to change that also in all political parties have set up separately and that's necessary but the question is how many of them there are decision making provision in general committee. of committees the other big. issue is how to make the environment more suitable for women more comfortable for women to act. this this is really now on their own accord. back on the campaign trail drunk makes a quick stop to meet protests she's treated like a rock star. but she has little time she plans to cover hundreds of police stations

in the next is. that means many more like this one every handshake and an appeal for votes. temperatures have already soared to more than thirty five degrees but there's no way. it's going to get a date anytime soon was. japan's emperor akihito will soon make history as the first in modern the modern era to abdicate. thirty years on the chrysanthemum throne were spent in the pursuit of peace and improving relations with japan's they have. emperor akihito greeting his people for the first time after ascending the chrysanthemum throne. his reign would see him modernize japan's tradition bound monarchy and extend a hand of peace to those harmed by his country's imperial ambitions it was in his father's name that japan committed many of the atrocities that shook the pacific
8:24 am
during world war two. and akihito spent most of his early life in diplomatic trips where he expressed his deep remorse over his country's wartime transgressions in modern times his frequent calls for peace have been seen by many as a quiet message to forces within his own government ones who would like to see japan take on a more assertive role on the world stage. driven by concerns over his own failing health heaters education will make him the first japanese emperor to leave the throne without leading his country into war. a legacy he reflected on during his last official appearance of japanese emperor as his country marked the anniversary of its wartime capitulation. then thinking of the peaceful times that have extended for many years after the war reflecting on our past and with a deep feeling of remorse i earnestly hope that the ravages of war will never be repeated i also pray for world peace and our nation's further development you must
