10:31 pm
the franco dictatorship voters have put a far right party in parliament tonight the leader of that party is betting he'll be the politician smiling last i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day. the socialist party has won the general election. and with that the future has won and the past has lost. one ok ok school. well it's a change for the better but it was not especially because the essentialist will have power now and not the center right together with the far right. it's a right i guess on how to fix it we must reflect on what is going on with this drift to the extreme right in europe and the world. that's at that we're not six
10:32 pm
treatments we're not fanatics we're not the extreme right or anything like that or for western things that a common sense for many spaniards we keep saying that whoever into spain illegally needs to be poteat as can us and they are not anti anything they are normal people who only want the best for the country. also coming up the women on the ballot in india's gigantic general election tonight you'll meet one who got her inspiration from a leader known as the iron lady when i was a kid if you asked me what i wanted. i never said it in the you think i'll miss it i want to get up on the island with this that's going to be in a position to make millions. to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all the rest of the world welcome we begin the day with the resilient spanish voter yesterday's general election in spain was the third election in just four years proof that spain's most recent political past has been
10:33 pm
neither stable nor easy you'd expect voters to show their disillusionment by staying home but you would be wrong voter turnout yesterday increased to seventy five percent a very strong number for almost any democracy anywhere there were two parties which profited most from the high turnout the ruling socialist including prime minister. and the far right vox party for the first time since the franco dictatorship ended in one thousand nine hundred five spanish voters have returned a far right party to parliament in force the extremes of the left and right are getting stronger the political center is falling apart a reality that spain no shares with much of europe and the united states. the reality sinks in and 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
10:34 pm
polls. but i mean helpful for me i think it's a good result and sincerely i didn't expect it but i thought the right wing was going to win so it's cool for me. but i mean by. 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. it's possible to win against reactionaries found a third carrion ism 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
10:35 pm
general franco. restore so no three c.p.o. this is only the beginning you know i'm also not a complete aim was to reach out and that's exactly what we have done yet that you don't have that it will get us we have a voice in parliament we can now say loud and clear the entire country that folks has come to stay out of the mainstream conservative people's party suffered big losses it was their worst election to date a sign that the polarization that is affected politics across europe has come to spain possibly for a long time to come. and our correspondent public is in the spanish capital for words tonight you need to you pablo the prime minister pedro sanches he saw his socialist become the strongest party in parliament yesterday but he does not have enough seats to govern a load i want you to listen to what this analyst said about sunshades his choices. very sensuous knows he's there because there's been
10:36 pm
a turn to the left since he took on the such this party leadership he's vowed to showed him yesterday that any attempt to get close to the center right would be frowned upon by his votes his and party members. so we know that even with the far left as a partner sanchez will not have enough seats to govern so who in the world is he going to turn to. well he's going to have to speak to several regional parties from you know from the boss country from sort of smaller regions like which is right beside the basque country in the north coast but essentially what he's going to need is the support of the on the austerity we need us but then most of course the far left party will say and they have already said that they are more than willing to enter into a coalition with pedro sanchez head of sanchez and his number two kind of
10:37 pm
incredible from the socialist have both said that they would prefer to govern alone and just have to support of say you need us for the most and the smaller regional parties from around spain but also leading into the election pether sancia didn't rule out the idea of actually forming a coalition with only that's put them off and also let's not forget that spaniards are a little bit jaded with the number of elections people have have to where i'm going to say in georgia over the past several years that they want to enter find a government as soon as possible. spain is nil like many european countries in the united states it has a far right party in parliament or a political force to speak of the vox party you got ten percent of the vote yesterday how much power will it really have. how much power they're going to really have is it they're not going to have much but what they've said is that they want to make a noise they want to be deceased and in spanish as they say the resistance they
10:38 pm
want to make people hear what they have to say and they're very much prepared to spend the next few years essentially growing their party because let's not forget that just three years ago in twenty sixteen they only got forty thousand votes and that compares with two point five million on sunday so their plan is to grow over the next few years and make people more aware of what they want for spain which is a more centralized spain less power for the regions and in particular let's not forget catalonia you know what about. the independence movement in the what does this election mean for the people now you mentioned it before brant the number of people who went out and voted in spain increased quite radically actually in this election and most of all actually in catalonia outlands really wanted their voice to be heard and they have voted for a skate and it will be going to which is just a number one party there which is a very very much clear pro independence party and they really want to push
10:39 pm
ahead with the idea of holding a referendum there in the region i petter sanchez as we know has taken a different approach some people on the right have said a softer approach to the council on issue and they he's more open to the idea of dialogue but he has also said that we we in spain must stick to the constitution of the constitution does not allow for a referendum so it'll be very interesting how he approaches the council and question but there's obviously a call in the region amongst many people there for some different approach to how to deal with the situation with regards to the independence movement. probably there were a lot of undecided female voters going into this election we're going to take a look at what appeared on spanish television last week during a debate among the heads of the political parties and by the way what we see here are cleaning with it mopping before we see them coming into this this set off
10:40 pm
a firestorm of criticism of all the political parties accusations that the interest in the rights of women are being ignored the message is that men do politics women do the cleaning what the election results tell us. to use firestorm their brands it certainly was that there was a lot of anger amongst men and women and obviously in spain with those images but an interesting fact for you almost fifty percent forty six point eight i believe it is of the m.p.'s of the three hundred fifty m.p.'s who have been voted in on some they are actually women and in fact in the socialist party of presidents on just more than half of the socialists who were voted in are women so there is a significant percentage of women in spanish politics which is obviously fantastic to see and something that has been welcomed sanchez has said that you know he is a feminist and he is very much in favor of. giving you know introducing
10:41 pm
more laws which are more about ecology in spain so you know i think we're going to be seeing more progressive laws for women in spain and the people's party were talking as well about perhaps taking away the abortion laws and bringing it back to laws from the one nine hundred eighty s. that did not sit well with many voters and in particular women here in spain so rights did abuse public hold on the story for us tonight in the public thank you. well it is not only spain where female voters are being courted by politicians in the world's largest democracy india the role of women in society and in politics is being discussed like never before india you may remember is in the middle of its marathon general election voting is staggered over six weeks and it comes with a guarantee that no voter must travel more than two kilometers to reach a polling place and voters reminds you will elect
10:42 pm
a new parliament and prime minister the ranger modi from the ruling hindu nationalist b j p no he is seeking a second term his main challenger is leader of the opposition congress party you see him right here who gandhi now the election is the world's biggest with nine hundred million eligible voters they will elect five hundred forty three in peace to the lower house of parliament which is known as the local sabah the polling is spread out across the country in several phases today voters went to the polls in nine states and that brings us to the topic of women in politics for one political party in the state of west bengal almost half of its candidates are women forty one percent now that is the highest number from any party in this election the w. correspondent sonia followed a car travelled to west bengal she introduces us to
10:43 pm
a former investment banker turned politician who is now seeking reelection. and. it's early morning in lifting gone through district funded to the face of a pm. it's dominated by the ruling what to name will congress party. and the start of the show here is the parties. 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 long held dream. when i was a kid then you asked me what i wanted to become i never said. i was i want to be the i want to be in a position to change. my throws been doing that as an elected local lawmaker for the last four years. she's now i in the seat in the national parliament there's little doubt about who's in charge here she's angry about. the former investment
10:44 pm
banker is a race site in indian politics still largely a boys' club she goes 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 politics. as a politician i don't think. i think the very use that all women's issues if you're fighting such basic grassroots politics if you've got a bad road it's a bad road that a woman walks on that it's a bad road that up a man walks on so i don't think that i can make a law 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 to the t.m.c. is heavily promoting women candidates the push has come from the very top western
10:45 pm
goal it's currently the only state in india the fled by a woman chief minister a month about it she's often described as a firebrand leader and is a vocal opponent of prime minister ramos and in this election it's fielding women in a record forty one percent in the field of party it's interesting and. it's the highest number in this election. but that doesn't muss 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. our 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. the other big issue is how to make the environment more suitable for women more comfortable
10:46 pm
for women to actually enjoy. this this arena on their own accord. back on the campaign trail. makes a quick stop to meet voters she's treated like a rock star. but she has little time she plans to cover hundreds of polling stations in the next days. that means many more like this one every handshake and a political it's she faces a tough challenge from prime minister never in the mood these hindu nationalist party but she's ready for it this election is unlike any election we've that since independence and it is it in action for the idea of india we are fighting to move more the we're fighting to save the very idea of india i'm confident of winning one hundred percent. margin will be the temperatures have already soared to more than thirty five degrees but there's no way. it's going to get a date anytime soon. it was reporting there were only seven to eight percent of the
10:47 pm
candidates in this election are women we spoke earlier to meg. she is one of india's foremost female writers she also curates a mumbai panel discussion on symbolism called the minister we asked why there are so few women in indian politics you know the question you bring up is so in. but politics is considered almost in the us. because it is a group under representation of women and this is of course of all you know the true feeling kind of slid out into. the psyche of women on the always given a voice that you know a lot of women do enter politics because in andi to the house on this false abilities oh they do not put that kind of confidence all the financial backing to enter for the deuce and those who do manage to end up they feast deep rooted and so it's a mistake to politics is deeply antagonistic towards women in general so this has
10:48 pm
been feeding since a nine hundred seventy s. and you know guy and his daughter and all manic was photographed in a dollar bill pretty good by the opposition as collateral damage all we had one of them were paul one female. who saw me with that convict all i'm told were in. the house of parliament so i feel really good such as. the iran even to date face huge city six it's a mosque so yes politics is a lame duck session is it diminishes women this is not a nation in need callie just not very conducive to women at all is and to a lot of kids to survive and i even tried. and that was indian author from talking to us about the lack of female politicians in india. sudanese protesters are hailing a breakthrough in talks with army leaders they've agreed to form
10:49 pm

10:50 pm
for his fellow students. in many ways the ongoing fit in 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 would beating him and punching him so that he put the flag down and see
10:51 pm
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. your right to have it 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 pics. since i was well. 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 that when you get a 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
10:52 pm
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 today. you just saw in that report she is in khartoum good evening to you from me from the outside when we look at. that story and we look at what looks like to be historic changes underway in sudan that's 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
10:53 pm
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 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 i 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 stages 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
10:54 pm
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 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 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 for such a short of. it's because of the people that are still camped outside the army headquarters after i'm going to bashir was ousted by it not all of who headed the military council the people immediately you could hear the chants in
10:55 pm
the middle of the city 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 protests or succeeded in removing just the mubarak he was. then replaced by the military and we have since then seen military rule take 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 i where they are now and now their 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 an over and over head
10:56 pm
body 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 they do the business of the country and then they would pave the way for elections that would after after the removal of i'm going to shoot all right so a lot of changes still in store for the people in sudan our correspondent in khartoum tonight thank you. there was that the day is almost up the conversation of course continues all the lawyer will see gets more of the.
