10:02 am
a parliamentary majority and that means they'll have to enter a potentially difficult coalition talks to remain in power the vote also saw a far right party entering parliament for the first time in four decades with ten percent of the votes cast. the socialist politics triumphs in spain incumbent prime minister pedro sanchez says progressive politics one. 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 a most lead by paolo 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
10:03 am
immigration anti-feminist party it's the first time a far right party has gained seats in spain's parliament since the days of general franco. mr show 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 is that this is a reconquista with a voice of parliament as of today we can now say loud and clear to the entire country that vox has come to study. 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. and then the very happy because i thought that the
10:04 am
extreme right wing and a lot more but spain reacted to stop that so i'm very very happy. the socialists won but for the first time since the end of the military dictatorship the far right are now part of spain's national politics. let's go straight to madrid for the latest now and it 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 on the one hand he could team up with the far left you need us to put him us 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
10:05 am
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 are you logical lines and it's kind of difficult to see how these two parties that were very much fighting with each other about economic programs but also mainly boss at the catalonian questions question will then come together and form a coalition pact ok you know 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
10:06 am
much influence the national debate as they have during this election campaign and that will probably leave the country more divided than before hunt ok another element leading to indicative of rather the erosion of the political center is the 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 compare to what they have before hand at least now during the election campaign they already moved very much to the right trying to. that some of the votes that might go to books looks like that 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 kettle on independence movement has been dominating spanish baltics for a while now where does this election leave them where are the calderon and
10:07 am
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 be enough to make sure that their that the government takes a softer stance if they don't get into parliament if pm so he teams up with that knows it might be really complicated for them if p.s.a. goes down the need us put him us and other paci you know smaller potty rage that might actually be good for them because then they 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. now the united nations is giving thirteen million dollars in emergency funding to mozambique that is people there are struggling in the aftermath of a second cyclon in as many months cycling canada slammed into northern mozambique

10:16 am
press in this country is very very difficult and so i think having offer surplus into this media landscape is something very positive and also this collaboration of public service media around the globe is something which is unique and i'm quite happy that we that we are starting this off and now today ok so a positive impulse for a turkish media can you can you tell us something about the decision to launch the channel in turkey. well we said that there had been a lot of problems with the freedom of press journalists in prison and that we should really try to give a bit more effort into the turkish service and our turkish of has which we have a d w a b b c a voice of america there remain and there will be news driven as they are and this news service is more into background to explain the stories of two
10:17 am

10:18 am
this but as we said social media and you tube is a young media so i think addressing young people is in the target to the cork target group and bringing them into a discussion among each other about topics is the ultimate goal which we like to reach ok an important goal for turkey right now director general peter limburg joining us from istanbul where that launch is taking place thanks very much. thank you. well a new report out by sipri the stockholm international peace research institute shows an increase in global military spending much of that driven by the united states with which in two thousand and eighteen spent almost as much on its military as the next eight countries combined but china and eastern european countries are also spending more as well on their national defense. military preparedness
10:19 am
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 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 its spending india and france increase their defense budgets last year as did russia.
10:20 am
major world powers china and india have outpaced russia in their defense spending which is why the asia pacific region is said 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. 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 mammals thirty nine day general election the biggest the world's ever same and though women make up a half of india's nine hundred million voters they are still massively under-represented in politics in this election less than eight percent of the candidates are women are correspondents on your follow car followed one of them on
