this is g.w. news. tonight spain's socialist celebrating a win in the country's general election but they face some tough choices prime minister says his party falling short of an absolute majority will have to find a coalition partner and that will not be easy to bring you the latest from madrid also coming up tonight the heady days of sudan's people's uprising. walking around

you can feel the pride not only in between in public space but also their freedom gatherings like this would not have been possible under the old regime. as the protests take on a festive air we meet a photographer committed to capturing the revolution. mozambique takes a battering from the second strike in just six weeks there's a severe flooding and more horrors in the forecast and a new voice for turkey international broadcasters including the response to the government's crackdown on independent media with the launch of a new you tube share. good to have you with spain's. political parties are tonight preparing for weeks of

tough bargaining after the election gave the socialist party the most votes but not enough to govern on its own prime minister has and his socialist took twenty nine percent of the vote so that means they will have to seek support of minority parties if they want to form a government coalition no one group that they are unlucky and likely to turn to is vox the first far right party to enter parliament since the end of the franco dictatorship in one thousand nine hundred seventy five votes took ten percent of the vote. the reality sinks in an election that leaves no party in power many in spain were relieved however that the far right had not done even better than it did at the polls. but i mean helpful for me i think it's a good result insincerely i didn't expect it i thought the right wing was going to win so it's cool for me. but i mean. me but then we think that the socialist victory is good and now there is hope that the bad guys don't win. the socialist

party leader pederast sanchez had explicitly pitched his party to voters as the best way to stop the far right. the spaniards have sent a very clear message to europe and to the world it is possible to win against reactionaries and authoritarianism with progressive proposals. but sanchez faces an uphill battle forming a ruling coalition the far right party vox may not have won but it still had a record night this election marks the first time a far right party has gained seats in the spanish parliament since the days of general franco thank you mr so no three see below this is only the beginning again if you are mostly not a complete told you are aim was to retake power and that's exactly what we have done you know that you don't have one side of congress we have

a voice in parliament we can now say loud and clear to the entire country that folks has come to stay. the mainstream conservative people's party suffered big losses and was their worst election to date a sign that the polarization that has affected politics across europe has come to spain possibly for a long time to come. and for more on this i'm joined now by our correspondent public he is in the spanish capital madrid tonight good evening to you paul i mean this is a victory for the socialists but with only twenty million percent i mean it almost feels a little bit like a hollow victory what are his options nail well first and foremost brand president sanchez has said that he would like to actually go over and alone with perhaps the support of the anti austerity party demos and the number two in the socialist column in kabul also reiterated a desire to basically govern

a loan with perhaps the support of. other smaller regional parties but it's going to be difficult for him now he's also said that he's open to that option of actually entering into a coalition government as well with the on to play most they've ruled out. the option of entering government with you i don't know if that's the liberals it's actually more really that the liberals have ruled out entering into government with the socialists but he's also said and by he i'm referring to predators under the said that we need to relax and be calm but of course tell that spaniards really do want to go in and to be formed as soon as possible i mean they've had so many elections in the west couple of years you could understand why what about the far right vox party it has secured its first seats in parliament you got ten percent of the vote how much influence will it have. you're absolutely right and if you go back to twenty sixteen let's not forget that vox just had around forty thousand votes compared to two point five million which is staggering the number that it's

that it's grown in such a short space of time they've grown essentially because of problems within the conservative people's party one of the of course two traditional parties in spain at the handling of the cot lonia crisis really damaged former government prime minister monti are not wholly who they felt gave too much power away to the regions and in particular catalonia and i'm what happened was that the traditional voters of the people's party essentially the left the more sort of moderates went to the liberals of state on those people who were perhaps more. conservative went to vox and they seem to really struck a chord with many spaniards the vox comes at the expense of the conservatives people's party they had their worst ever result last night b. what does that tell us right now about the state of spain's political right

exactly and this is it it's the political right which is really fractured now because essentially you know bear in mind that just a few years ago spain just had the people's party on the right and now you've got the liberals who would be sort of considered center right will say the people's party of public asado an absolutely terrible result for them and now you have vox and the people's party today were essentially licking their wounds they said that they really need to sit down and look at what went wrong and perhaps what happened to them was and what's being said here amongst many spaniards is that they they sort of forgot exactly what direction they were going in and they they sort of forgot about what many of their voters wanted and they swung too far to the right perhaps and it was an error of judgment. on the public in madrid with those election results and what the will mean thank you. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a man claiming to be islamic state leader. has appeared in

a new video in what would be the first sighting of the u.s. leader in five years he's shown praising the easter sunday terror attacks in sri lanka. was last seen in this two thousand and fourteen video at the in. has been three were did killed or wounded multiple times since then the commander of the u.s. military prison at guantanamo bay in cuba has been fired a statement from the u.s. southern command said that rear admiral john ringer had been removed because of a loss of confidence in his ability to command the controversial prison at guantanamo was set up to detain suspected terrorists captured overseas after the nine eleven terror attacks in the u.s. marine experts say a balloon well that's been harassing boats in arctic norway may have been trained by the russian military fisherman first raised the alarm last week after they saw the whale wearing a strange harness swimming around their boat tugging at ropes and straps russia is

for thirty two year old muhammad this is history in the making has been documented the sudanese uprising since it started in december today he's taking pictures of the incoming caravans joining the demonstrators in front of the army headquarters in the capital have to. assume. my pictures are for the coming generations the suffering experienced by people in my photos should not be forgotten. when we took to the streets we were just calling for our rights we should not have been met with some of the violence we see in the pictures. at the heart of the protest area mohammad displays his photos for his fellow students. 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 refused to open fire at them and there are. some it says his photography not only documents the revolution it is also a way to help the people. 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 will be using him and punching him so that he put the flag down and see saddam holding up the flag high so. you know that's a picture help to get this man released because it spread so much so they were able to locate him and have him freed. you're right that is for passers by mohammed's work reflect

a turning point for sudan and its people. i feel loved when i see the details of these pictures the sadness when. 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. and you get a display shows that sudan has a lot of artists and people with many talents. and good mohammad realizes to deceive you found 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. and talk about. how much does not know what exactly the future holds for sudan but he is determined to bear witness to it with his camera. and for more on the developments in sudan.

you just saw in that report she is in khartoum good evening to you from me from the outside when we look at you know that story and we look at what looks like to be historic changes underway in sudan this what it feels like and looks like does it feel like it where you are. absolutely brant since we arrived a couple of days ago here in the capital you feel like the people here are different i've been in sudan before and this time it certainly is a time of great uncertainty but also great enthusiasm anybody you meet on the street is. happy to talk to you and happy to tell you about about this newfound freedom that you feel almost everywhere in the street people are extremely open and and there's this new found desire to express themselves and to talk about the politics the changes in the political scene that as sudan has has has witnessed in the past couple of weeks that's on the streets but if we're

talking about the main protest area where. where we filmed where we filmed the report that you just saw there it feels kind of like a state within a state you have thousands and thousands and thousands of sudanese people from across the country flooding into this area they've occupied it for almost two over two weeks now since the ouster of president i'm going to extremely well organized protest area with i make shift security checkpoints clinics you have steve just being set up for all kinds of political debates and to take place and the people there they feel like their occupation their most and they're holding on to that space is their bargaining chip this is what they have to negotiate with the current military council to get what they want which is ultimately a civilian rule they're not backing down and they have. all of them that i've spoken to in that area have said they're not leaving until they see a civilian government and we remember when the when the president omar al bashir

when he was ousted a few weeks ago by the military the military then said that it would install a civilian government after a two year transition period now we're talking about this joint kill soul that is being set up with the protesters and the military i mean that seems like tremendous change from what we were hearing from the military just a few weeks ago how do we get that far in such a short amount of time. it's because of the people that are still camped outside the army headquarters after going to bashir was ousted by if not all of who headed the military council the people immediately you could hear the chants in the middle of the sit in saying that that is just a new face to the same to the same old regime and within a day if not of himself had to step down my impression and what i've heard from the people there is that they have learned a lot from the experience of arab countries in the so-called arab spring and twenty

eleven most prominently perhaps the case of egypt after the protester succeeded in removing his to mubarak and he was then replaced by the military and we have since then seen military rule to take hold back back in in sudan's northern neighbor northern neighbor egypt so i think it's the persistence of the people standing outside of the army headquarters that has gotten us there that has gotten them where where they are now and now there are attacks today a group of sudanese protest leaders they're having to go sheesh and in the presidential palace now with the military council and they're talking about this transitional civilian military council that would be sort of and over and over head through the country but that there would be a purely civilian kind of council or committee that would run the day to day. the day to day to do business of the country and then they would pave the way for elections that would after after the removal of ahmed to shoot. a lot of changes

at the moment it's too dangerous for helicopters to fly but helicopters are what's really needed with many stranded without supplies. want to help. people. when people are going to help. until help arrives when they can do is wait counting the cost of the latest tropical disaster to land on mozambique shorts. or correspondent adrian creech is in time but in northern mozambique adrian good evening to you i mean talk to me a little bit about how bad the damage is what did you see three in the city many parts hardly affected but some already heavily affected i saw areas completely on the water others experience landslides and we've seen in a rescue team that evacuated the thousands of people the most affected areas another team just arrived from south africa and i talked to the prime minister here today was inspecting the situation on the ground and he confirmed that thirty eight

people have been killed in the area so far but the number is likely to still increase but anyway if we compared to the members to secretly die that we've seen six weeks ago where more than one thousand people got killed it appears to be less the area is less populated and we still really don't know what's happening in the room because these areas are really has to to reach and what we've heard that flights are being grounded adrian so what are the prospects of getting aid to the people who need it is very difficult right now around noon today flights were possible again late on grounded because heavy rain started again and you need to know that most helicopters and planes they left before the cycle came because they didn't want to get destroyed obviously and now they can't return because of the bad weather and this is of course i think many rural communities are still kind of. a dream can you hear me. sorry looks like we've lost our

connection with a gene creech there he was reporting in him but mozambique on the fallout from that second cycle to hit the country in the past two months or in other news we want to take you know to japan it is preparing to mark the end of an error on tuesday with the empty occasion of emperor akihito after a thirty year reign now he is the first japanese monarch to abdicate in two centuries but he is no stranger to breaking with tradition. akihito was a groundbreaking figure long before he became emperor in one nine hundred fifty nine he married a commoner. a major taboo but the people loved it the couple recently celebrated their sixtieth anniversary. and seto she hopes their union will last that long the two wanted to marry during the akihito era they are nearly out

of time with his abdication looming. i spent thirty years of my life in this era since i was a year old we have lived through catastrophes but i want to keep this time in my heart and enjoy the new era they have always to thin out the lawyer. now akihito is abdicating the first emperor to do so for two hundred years now with a few years ago after two operations. i sensed that my ability to lead was fading also in view of my age i'm worried that i can't fulfill my job a symbol of the state with all my strength as i have not till now. and. akihito his role is partly to act as the conscience of the nation he's the official defender of the pacifist constitution visiting war memorials and paying homage to

victims of japanese aggression is criticize attempts to justify japan's military history including by the ruling conservatives under prime minister shinzo abi. akitas son novel he told is supposed to carry on the tradition. of it the two of them have a father son relationship. i think the father has always passed on his wisdom not that he says you have to do this but i think the future emperor has learned much from the old one. man rushes from the crowd just akihito his wedding didn't go off without a hitch stones were thrown and people trying to climb into the imperial coach me once a toshi enjoyed a day of peace and harmony. w. has teamed up with other major international broadcasters to launch a new source of independent information for turkey plus ninety started today on you
