don't know israel lection supporters of the main opposition candidate allege the voting was rigged. that spills on to the streets of jakarta come morning the violence showed no signs of abating protesters fought running battles with police throwing stones and setting fires as they continue to defy police orders to leave the downtown area. the demonstrations started peacefully on tuesday evening but they quickly turned violent after election results showed incumbent president djoko we don't know had won the election opposition supporters tried to force their way into the offices of the election supervisor agency they hurled molotov cocktails and burning projectiles at police who responded with tear gas rubber bullets and water cannon. opposition supporters later moved on to other areas of the city setting fire to vehicles and a police dormitory police blame the violence on what they called provocateurs and

said dozens of suspects have been arrested. the majority of protesters came from outside jakarta. they came from the west java ban 10 and central java we also found evidence including an ambulance that was filled with stones and tools for attack. the election commission said president we doto had 155 percent of the vote spelling defeat for his ultranationalist opponent former general problem. he says the poll was marred by widespread fraud though so far he's presented no evidence to back up the claim. city life is disrupted many residents are trying to leave election commission headquarters is barricaded parts of downtown blocked to traffic and it's difficult for me to get to my office because i had to take routes through back alleys it's safer because there's commotion everywhere it makes us a bit doubtful. defeated candidate so beyond ho is refusing to accept the election

result and has vowed to mobilize. people power the government has deployed some 50000 police and troops across jakarta as it braces for more on the rest for more on this let's bring in a risk you know from r.t.w. indonesia desk so risky last night there were mobs clashing with security forces how did that develop. so right now the indonesian police say that they had arrested more than $100.00 so-called profiteers who were allegedly responsible for the filing focused they claim this was not a spontaneous mass event but event by design and that the protester were paid to be mistreated and smear government this information cannot be of course fair fight on the other hand the government has blocked access to social media in certain areas to perfect use and books history guardian for this did you see there were wild bush the police were using firearms to kill protesters this opposition was of course united by the government so now the security minister the former general said he

already has the list of names of people who allegedly were responsible for jakarta writes from the looks of it we will see more of a spate of police in the coming days don't we thing is we don't know whether high ranking police stations are also included in that list now mr we do for example has a presidential duty i call it by calling for a conciliation and national unity but judging by how hostile the government towards the door this issue they would agree to. this how widespread now is the support for so beyond the opposition. well right now a supporter turning to twitter to call for a rest of the q. same of muster minding the deadly protest and plotting to take them a critical act of elected government in fact mr sudan there's now running out of time due to collapse of his polish and b. 2 from 6 parties that officially accepted the defeat. of the official results we

can expect to see more of movement to support the elected president from the white political spectrum to if the parties don't support mr. they need a national mandate party and a more democratic party led by former president susilo bambang yudhoyono or you do know. refraining from pretty spacey participating in mass protest. so what you do know reach his party has into pollution of. fully support. the election. and there are questions of course as to how legitimate the protests against we don't know are because we did see that official alleging that a lot of these protesters are coming from outside the city. from the looks of it the majority of the people are still behind the president and the filing protest has produced a rather more negative image for mr sowerby until the government of course tried to be legitimized the demonstration by accusing them of an act of treason they claimed

this was a spontaneous myself and but then even by the signs that the protesters were paid to demonstrate against the government some of the protester who were arrested still kept envelopes containing money of course this information cannot be verified. risking a graph from our d.w. in the new desk in bonn thank you so much. it's the end of an era german automaker dimler the 1st the firm behind her city's car as its longtime c.e.o. dita is stepping down today to make room for his successor all of us led dimer for more than a decade and became one of the most recognizable faces in german business but now it's time to hand over the reins. a grateful goodbye from shareholders after 13 years at the helm. we cannot and will not remain satisfied with the current level of profitability if i can assure you the dyna team is roaring even more motivation

to work with full energy towards. the message will be welcome following the years in which share prices have been rocky profits slumped in 28 after several good years. spent more than 4 decades at diamond head of the chrysler division he became effectually known in the us dr z. even appeared in this pipeline response there's only one example that smalling for better performance at handling he was then credited with helping diamond to recover when the chrysler takeover fell apart in 2007 dima has achieved record sales in recent years after increasing the appeal of its cars to a younger market that she leaves on a high hanging over the swedish board member. us. alone is at the shareholders meeting jenelle how did it turn such as farewell go down with the people there are they sad to see him go or are they looking forward to this next era. well i've had the opportunity to speak to quite

a few shareholders now and many of them did tell me they were sad to see him go they were sorry to see him go they did think that he did a very good job of modernizing the brand he became a brand ods himself though it has to be said however that 13 years is a very long time. and i did hear quite a few voices that said that. especially towards the end of his tenure that china had become quite slow and responding to the emerging trends of the auto industries like the shift to electro mobility as one top of the striving and there is that the hope that a change in leadership will bring about some fresh energy and speaking of this change in leadership what about such a successor is he expected to continue to such as work or is he going to bring about a shift in the company strategy. oh he's been groomed for this position for quite a while it's been known for about a year that he was going to take over the reins from such

a as such he's widely expected to implement the strategies that were decided and such as time like not like a big restructure like a shift away from purely traditional combustion engines by 2039 part of the novelty that that you'll he's expected to bring it has to do with his person so he's not a german engineer in the ground traditional mode of german although bosses but he's off he's from sweden he's more of a matter of numbers and many are hoping that this will help him in his new job it has to be said he's taking over dialer out a difficult time for the company i mean weakening sales amid international trade uncertainty so he certainly has his work cut out for him and the expectations are very high so in those among all for us be done with shareholders meeting thank you so much. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world austrian president aleksander founder belen has sworn in an interim minority government for new ministers have joined chancellor sebastian cross' cabinet after foreign ministers resigned in the wake of a video sting that raised allegations of corruption. the u.s.

a series of killings of roma people their supporters of abortion rights in the u.s. have held nationwide rallies to oppose new laws restricting access to the procedure the state of alabama recently passed a law that essentially bans abortion and now other states are considering and even passing tighter restrictions of their own religious conservatives hope the bans will provoke legal challenges that will wind up in the supreme court and overturn roe versus wade the 1973 decision that established a woman's right to terminate her pregnancy. the. songs of protest in new york. that i. was that was that that. was the marches on the streets in montgomery alabama where the state legislature knocked it the most restrictive abortion law in the country just last week. and the protest in front of

the supreme court in washington on the national day of action to stop the bans thousands rallied all over the country against recent rollbacks of abortion rights democratic lawmakers lined up to attack the republican party whose until bush in campaign is gathering steam. either of us. you heard me. right right right back here. or never heard. that. from this very texas. republican like you. can afford. what i meant fundamental rights my activists all surrounded on the president's trump has boosted the antiabortion cause by appointing conservative judges to the

supreme court hands to federal courts so that our message to your president jacques who was was. because we had enough of you c. now keep on bodies like you are making decisions parkinson about. the us is facing long and polarizing call room battles over the right to abortion. and it's another divisive issue as the country moves towards next year's presidential election. british prime minister theresa may is under renewed pressure to scrap a planned vote on her brags that proposal both the opposition party as well as many within her own party have rejected the revised withdrawal deal that's despite may opening the door to a 2nd that referendum and temporary customs union with the e.u. she urged lawmakers to grasp what she's called

a last chance there is an issue about customs there is a difference of opinion in this house on the future customs arrangement with the european union that's why it's important that this house actually comes to a decision on that issue is allowing 2nd referendum the 2nd reading of the with short agreement bill will enable this house to come to a decision on that issue it would also enable the house to come to a decision on a 2nd referendum which i continue to believe would not be the right route for this country to go we should deliver on the 1st referendum suggesting anything about a 2nd. let's bring in mass who's standing by in london to get to resign may is appealing to parliament to break this deadlock is this new withdrawal deal going to change anyone's minds. we've seen a very negative reaction i have to say so. jeremy called and said that this new deal was just

a repackaged old deal also that he that labor contrast anything that this prime minister agrees and compromises on because they think that the new prime minister who is slightly who or she he or she is likely to take over the next weeks or months will not stick to anything that's being agreed by 2 reason may so very negative reaction and of course her own party even tanning again so we've had m.p.'s who previously voted for her voted for the withdrawal the because she's already tried 3 times to have this agreed here in westminster but now they say they were in so a lot of pressure on tourism may to actually go and we really expect a leadership election to follow very very soon after the e.u. elections it's going to be very tricky for her because she's going to take another beating the conservative party a set to take another beating in these elections and all of this is happening on the eve of these european elections which britain wasn't supposed to be

a part of so how is the bridge that uncertainty playing into that. these elections are really all about bret's it here in the u.k. and the most astonishing thing is that we have seen nigel to vote for rogers brags at parties new party really sad thing and the polls i've been to those raise i'm speaking to supporters many of them voted conservative before and these are people who are just fed up with the policies of the old parties of the conservative party and most of all and i for us is really managed to hand this a run and to make this all about leaving without any deal so the real breaks it from what he says is just the breaks it where britain will just leave the european union without any deal he does mention that that most likely would have severe economic consequences and that business organizations and trade unions are really mourning not to do that and this is something that m.p.'s here in parliament also want to prevent because they are afraid of these economic consequences and that

makes the whole process of withdrawing so tricky the populous say it's going to be easy and it looks like a lot of people here in the u.k. all believing them that just simply fed up with what's happening on bracks it began last for us on the story for us in london thank you so much. as you said around 400000000 europeans will begin voting for a new european parliament starting tomorrow the campaign group of oz published a study saying that far right and anti e.u. groups are using social media to spread fake news and disinformation and my colleague from the social media desk all us a car is here to help us got as a guide us through this so although what's new about this study how did they reach this conclusion. is a is a left leaning progressive advocacy group just to start by saying that now they've monna to distance from ation on social media in the last 3 months leading up to the

european elections and they looked at the 6 biggest countries in the block so germany the u.k. france italy spain and poland and they found more than $500.00 pages in groups on facebook specifically spreading fake news wow. they say in germany specifically the far right populist a.f.d. party the alternative the dutch law they profited from this and most of these accounts nearly half in fact of these 500 counts. came from came from germany we can see poland in its li not far behind and the u.k. they found only 65 accounts. this might not sound like a lot but these accounts these 500 accounts have some 32000000 followers and they're on the hof a 1000000000 interactions with this continent so it does it does really add up and

the group who thought this report they say they reported all of this displaced book but only 77 of these 500 pages were taken down so talking about these sex suspect pages what examples did a vase highlight so we have a thought about the german if the party if we have an example from germany from this study where an a if the politician. who sets up multiple accounts with varying variations of their own name or spreading the same content of all saying this must much of this is this information it contains populist themes such as a phobia. another example is from italy where a group supporting the populist lead poxy they were posting a video purporting to show african migrants attacking a police car in fact this video was from a movie so what does all of this mean for the e.u.

elections starting tomorrow well. of us group they say that this does impact the elections of course it's hard to say to which degree it does. but let's get let's let's have a listen to themselves about what they say about this like what we're seeing is systematic this information it's not one thing is popping up here another one there it is building that works of millions of followers of millions of people and then reaching out further and further and further and slowly but surely kind of deceiving people into believing the same lies and that's the danger is like this information is not one week one big fake news it's done it is over a very long term playing the long game and slowly but surely and messing more and more people who then build like their own bubble of reality. it was we said the election starts massive thank you all over these new insights just before the election. and meanwhile the european union's

police agency says an international law enforcement operation has smashed an organized crime gang europol helped coordinate the raids involving hundreds of police and customs officers in spain britain poland and lithuania and spain they arrested the suspected lithuanian ringleader along with around 20 others elsewhere the gang is believed to have armed hundreds of millions of euros in drug trafficking and money laundering police seized millions of euros in cash diamonds gold bars jewelry and luxury vehicles. and in germany police have conducted a string of raids against a legit iraqi crime gang hundreds of officers search several locations in 11 cities in north rhine-westphalia a gang members are accused of illegal arms dealing and human trafficking and to kenya now where hippopotamuses are facing a new threat not only are hundreds targeting them they are also having to compete

with other animals for food as a result their numbers are dwindling and now a new study has revealed that any reduction in their numbers could spell disaster for the vital health of the rivers in the region. a hungry hippos grazes on the shores of kenya's lake 91 of over 1500 hippos that make this lake its home but the grass here is increasingly in short supply. locals often bring their cattle down to the grasslands fringing the lake to feed the competition for food between wildlife and domestic animals is driven to the extreme by drought and climate change. it means that people are bringing the livestock into protected areas national parks and reserves and they're competing with the animals like hippos and these poor animals don't have any other source of food they literally will. if they hippos die the rivers and lakes could die with them hippos chum through huge

amounts of grass every night and this grass contains a precious element called silica floating in the water during the day that digestion kicks in they then excrete vast quantities of dung into the water the silica in the hippo dung is absolutely vital for the health of africa's waterways a new study has found it helps curb algae blooms that killed marine life. so to have healthy waterways we need healthy hippos but hippos don't gotta much sympathy with the locals just last year several people have died from hippo attacks than in many many cases of people killed by hippos and this means people don't like to tolerate people they were often killed it's been in the press in kenya quite a lot in many many instances of local people calling the service to come and kill hippos because they feel like their lives are endangered. with farmers that cattle and the hippos all competing for dwindling grasslands the biggest loser of this

fight might be our environment. well let's see a dog month have signed much and. winner. in another swift post-season swoop having just missed out on the title they have bought germany wing back back germany win back nico scholtz from hoffenheim on tuesday and have now brought in the highly rated belgium international as art is the brother of chelsea's eden he scored 10 goals in the bundesliga campaign but just finished as ard faced his future club in the season finale. just missed out on the champions league. and lastly we bring you this story that really could be out of a movie 3 people have been taken to the hospital with minor injuries following a dramatic police chase near los angeles a stolen trailer side swiped
