a decisive lead over the nearest rivals the indian national congress hogan the president of the congress spotting his lost his own parliament seat which is family has had almost continuously for the last 4 decades the boy is widely being viewed as a referendum on with his leadership he's on course to extend the commanding majority he won back in 2 qassam and 14. joining me now from delhi i have on the line. just one nation modi has already claimed victory what does he mean saying. well i'm a star he has appreciated what so forth jurors have to live or what the national family is said to have put out of you can we actually think that this is a victory for the country that this or that. that the country supports the p.d.p. everybody against years them corruption communalism softness all of

new delhi already out by the beach if we have what does actually being massive. into morty thing king voters for that thing i've heard on the mandate and think this is the time when you were in the at that event that if you have to put it out on very good work and all of the needed think you have on what biden suffices. to be because i'm the one because in 2040. and i'm a shit what about the only question cong response you know we know that gandhi has lost his family's seat in a meeting but one house upon a standing in the election as a whole and. looks like on fortunately for the congress it have not fared much better than this is the last time around now the song says because about 40 or 50 the expectation sometimes write about something maybe means that knowledge

by i'm not going to end on this this gets even been called into question that they haven't. formed the opposition being the opposition the other important bodies to gorge what they reached their bodies which was potentially going to pull a coalition with the congress but even they have gone so far as well as they would have to and the nonaligned body that they are calling for john vause she should be front on the congress front of the naacp in a bit of a game because all those who mean the problem with the speech that in the bottom and have been taken out by the new me on this board should actually isabel about 50 but that will be opposition basically even though that is also not the baby out the opposition has been decimated so then we shall know when we have a final official results of these elections. but i'm just so foggy have been watching the man on a cross once counting operators that go down in all the months to do mc is

a big deal but already some victories like the one we mentioned stuff we don't even think kids families started to see some of that was the basis of all the thought of coming into the election commission has been forcing the issue that as we look at the machinery of the boss the body given the charge of policing these elections but in a few laws we should expect the results by by late evening and that time also of course the that is the case of the electronic voting machines which will be done later this evening but given that the b. to b. has declared victory and given that the congress has been somebody accept a defeat it's unlikely that because of the needle for this us going going to happen by this evening the bill nor bush or what the country actually all of the english for show i'm going to some of them will be another 5. 3 and i think we should just well in delhi thank you very much for that. and we'll have more coverage on the dinan lection coming up on the news from delhi right after the news

bulletin that when i bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world com has returned to the indonesian capital of jakarta after deadly clashes between police and supporters of the defeated presidential candidate. the former general chord on his supporters to go for he also told them he would launch a legal challenge against president joe reelection. author and illustrator judith has died at the age of 95 ruth a much beloved children's book the tiger who came to tea she was born in berlin and fled nazi germany with her family an experience she wrote about in one novel when hitler being crabbe it. voting is underway in the united kingdom in the european parliamentary elections that are one hof the country didn't want you remember 52 percent of britons had voted to leave europe back in 2016 it's yet to

happen now the election comes as the country is again in gov't in political turmoil over breaks it prime minister to resign maybe is fighting for her job with a some of her cabinet ministers reverting over her latest brags that ridge were planning last night a key programs that minister andrea let's all resigned over the revised bill saying it didn't deliver breaks it and business leaders standing firm and rejecting calls to stand down. and let's head straight to london to hear from this big loss bigotries a me is still refusing to budge as the country votes in the european election where conservative party is projected to get a meager 7 percent what does this mean for her future. her future looks very very bleak for now it looks like she is almost bunkered into downing street maybe push the furniture against the door from the inside we know that many have also to go many cabinet colleagues and it seems like more

a matter of days than a matter of week when she's going on at least announcing her departure and of course a moment when really important elections are taking place in the u.k. european elections this is not a good look for the conservative party who are set out to take a big kid the voice of big parties aside out a bit take a big hit in these european elections and they could if the exit timetable had worked to plan the country would not have even been in the e.u. by now given that how much interest is there in this european election. well this will be interesting to see it could go either way it could be that people are just coming in droves and just expressing their opinion it is really all about bragg's it or that they say well they are just too frustrated too to just come we've talked to. people here in this polling station where we are in central london and they said that for now it's more like it's trickle soon not really huge amount

of people storming the polling station to tell the put intentions what they think one party that's real pretty sure it's going to benefit from all this deadlock that we've seen over briggs it here in the u.k. is niger for raj it's new parties called the brakes of party it's pretty much no one man band and niger for ours is from a seeing the people that actually everything is much easier than the politicians in westminster make out who can't make up the minds the conditions that they want to leave and he is saying well let's just leave and to deal with the european union is not very important and his message is resonating with many voters i think to some of his rallies and see what the mood is like that. piece that wherever niger for raj goes he's welcome to my stuff here and way of for example his message recently has betrayed the country but he's unconditionally accepted all

of brussels demands during the war on ecosystems referendum bird i don't know what . do you. it's a document drafted by the 1st year but on the air. without to leave out looking over his shoulder to rush suggest britain doesn't need to deal with presses the main thing is to leave the queue he doesn't mention that would probably cost jobs but you're right it like you there i'm afraid that there is no chance of being delivered with our current 2 party system our current government will have to fight for it again but i believe we can do so i think the budget referendum actually rob about the sort of the genie coming out of the bottle it's not going back. in the city of peterborough over a 1000 people come to check out the new party many of them used to vote for the conservatives the government is more going to challenge our lawyers and saving us

and i are nothing but crooks so far as i'm concerned it treasonable people people are very angry and feel very hurt and upset that their vote is being ignored and democracy is being trampled all over the content is that the party claims to have gained more than 100000 new members in just the. maiden name page but you know i am over half of them won't change u.k. can only dream of such numbers greater johnson is in the spotlight and bath in southwest england the political newcomer who has one main goal we have to stop a ferrari take a vote of this country with all the lack of values and all the lies that. campaign or represents he says it's a one man show it's a vehicle to get him into downing street he's taken the got the country up the garden path and over the cliff the new remain party change u.k. has a clear enemy niger for raja's bragg's a party but the n.t.

brags that vote is splintered and that might be one reason why the pro europeans have not been able to trick nearly the same crowds as a breadth of party already seen by. 4 rows of chairs are enough to accommodate a crowd many of those who have come are disappointed by the establishment parties. this is an opportunity to see what a remain party a new voice a fresh voice has to say to me and always tell you for a start she the passion with which they spoke on the question your opinion and i believe changing from hey i wanted the parties to really really support the people and to support them and the big parties are being punished in the e.u. elections and it looks like the populists will be the biggest witness. so is it looks like nigel for all his easy message is really resonating with voters he makes it easy to live there to leave the european union whereas labor and the

conservative the traditional bigger parties recognise the how how difficult the actual process is and the m.p.'s in parliament are really reluctant to leave without a deal like nigel for raj suggests so they get a big surge for the populace expected but what role are british politicians like to play in the next e.u. parliament. well they have to assume that they are going to stay that we are facing a deadlock at the moment so in paul amend we don't have a clear majority for any course of breaks it we know that we set the u.k. is set to leave the european union at the end of october so if they don't find a solution then the u.k. with would leave without any deal but the other way out would be to revoke article 50 so that is something that lawmakers could contemplate and in that instance the piece that i elected now would have to stay in for

a long time so they would have to be free pads to stay for a long time at least they get mass in london thank you very much. night's not just the u.k. voting today voting is also under way in the european elections in the netherlands the 1st dutch voters cast their votes at midnight in all 400000000 europeans will be able to vote over the next 4 days at stake on seats in the open palm and the top job the head of the european commission the 2 favorites for that german conservative mounted veda and the dr social democrats france to hans. let's head to abse dam draco's find zonda is standing by max what's the mood there as i mentioned of the dutch politicians france a tim amman's is at the top candidates for you have been commission president has been boosted interest in the election. well france in the months

is one of the many faces of the e.u. elections. but he is not expected to have a real input year at least not a positive one them his party is expected to come in in 3rd and traditionally here in the netherlands they are very pro european but not so much pro voting in european elections the voter participation since 1909 has never exceeded 40 percent and we're actually standing right in outside of a polling station right now and crossed a canal talked to a couple people there they feel like this time maybe there is more interest they feel like more people are coming but we'll have to wait for the for the end of the day to see if that's true or not and let's we saw in the u.k. a populist surge is expected what is it like in the netherlands. well one political party has taken center stage all of a sudden that's the forum for democracy a far right populist party which was started in 2016 and they are expected to come

out 1st and these e.u. elections and they are campaigning there and tell you they're campaigning on their want they want to hold a referendum on the common currency the euro they even there campaigning on anti migration and they even proposed a next level and exit ng the european union but although they're expected to come in 1st you also have to note that the political landscape in the answer is extremely fractured we have the whole political spectrum present from the far left to the far right and we have we're expecting for the 26 seats in the european parliament members from 10 parties from up to 10 parties to to go to brussels right imac sunday announce today thank you very much for that update from the. in bonn and celebrations have kicked off to mark the 70th anniversary of germany's post-war constitution known as the basic law the constitution came into effect on this day

in may $949.00 after being drawn up under the supervision of the allies now it's being celebrated as the foundation of german democracy one civil rights organization even served a cake to mock this event in front of the brandenburg gate the. now all this week we are looking at how the constitution is translated into reality every day by ordinary thief and today we focus on article 5 which guarantees freedom of speech be met i met a 7 recently from iraq to find out how he uses sometimes for vocative lee his right to say what he wants in public. lands highlights my country because of freedom of expression so it was always and still is very important to me to be able to express my opinion. ahmed had to flee

his home in iraq because he wouldn't shut up in germany he's protected by the constitution. the arabic word on ahmed t.-shirt it's care field infidel the 20 year old is an atheist and he talks openly about his opinions on faith and other matters sometimes he wants to provoke here at a palestinian march in germany he's carrying a poster of 2 kissing men. if there's pushing and shoving a police officer steps in to prevent violence i know. he's not welcome. there. are many muslims it's a to boot and sometimes you have to be provocative and crossing boundaries in order to change something in society and essentially.

and i'm from a religious family there were certain rules about what could and couldn't do it was somehow clear to everyone that you couldn't be different. and you couldn't think differently when. one point i thought it had to be possible to say that you were no longer a believer without being punished. and then i decided to do it for myself . so talking not my fault it was 5 days after my 15th birthday when my father suddenly went to the police so he came back with 3 police officers they beat me in front of my parents' home and. then they looked me in a room for i was so mad that they tortured me with cables and electric shocks before and that. and i think.

mr. lawson that was the day i left iraq and we took this picture at night with a photographer with it. at 1st i didn't want to tell my story in germany. to avoid more conflicts and so on. but at the same time i knew that if you express your opinion in europe the states will protect you. ahmed said muslims in germany abuse and threaten him when he openly expresses his opinions but here unlike in iraq he's protected by the police. force a lot to be here and i won't let anyone here tell me how to live and what i'm allowed to do. especially what i'm allowed to say.

i am free. and. and office of business chimneys biggest lender deutsche bank is facing off with increasingly angry shareholders today and its annual general meeting the bank has been mired in various legal and corporate issues for yes with little progress supervisory board chairman. promised shareholders the dirty bank restructuring will quickly and will radically after recovering and dividends the board is under pressure to questions over shaky management huge fines from regulators and ratings downgrades. the u.s. competitors and this door to share lifts to a record. business correspondent is at the shareholders meeting in frankfurt and joins me from there now what can you tell us about the mood. well i'm retired as you correctly said the shareholders here in

frankfurt they are frustrated they are angry we've spoke to a couple of them and what we heard was just really they're venting all their anger is mostly directed at the chair of the supervisory committee that you just mentioned under his reign in the last 7 years shares have been down over 70 percent and as a matter of fact just now during the last hour when paul spoke the shares dropped another 2 percent to a new all time low and one shareholder in that meeting just pointed out shares of thoughts about right now are actually worth less than a pack of cigarettes and unfortunately that is true so that is of course a very good reason for people to be angry and to demand change so last given all of that how do you read dortch is chances of dragging it says out of this mess at various levels. well it is difficult everybody knows that and shareholders are

growing from more and more frustrated because all the promises that management made to drac the bank get the bank out of this they have been made before some people just told me we have literally heard the same speeches and the same promises for the last couple of years and this is why christian saving the relatively new c.e.o. is also under attack here right now he just gave a speech and then some shareholders spoke out against him and i want to quote one person he said he quoted actually kristen saving to war last year when he became c.e.o. he said after all these years of scandals for dorchin bunk he wants to promise shareholders that time is going to get a lot more boring so everybody was actually looking forward to that but then the shareholders said what happened the bank failed another stress test the 3rd one in the united states there was a major raid on top of banks offices connected to money laundering in the russian laundromat there was also all these stories about financial ties to

a president trump in the u.s. that are currently not playing out that well for torch a bank that's childer and there are a lot of applause that if these are boring times that i don't want to be around when times get interesting. hunted these financial correspondent thank you very much for that update from frankfurt plans to expand the next was cut to 48 teams have been abandoned and the tournament in an instant go ahead with the normal 32 teams and the change would have required qatar to share hosting duties in 2022 with other countries in the region but the little tensions made that's impossible. adding 16 more teams to qatar's world cup in 2022 was a bit too optimistic for president giani if in tinos idea of the expansion will have to wait until 2026 as schedule fifa wanted neighboring countries like the u. 80 to help host the tournament but an economic blockade in the region against qatar

showed no signs of being lifted fee for their 4 released this statement following a thorough and comprehensive consultation process with the involvement of all the relevant stakeholders it was concluded that under the current circumstances such a proposal could not be made now qatar was open to being the lone host for the potential 48 team contest but couldn't find a viable operating model to sustain the idea building its world cup infrastructure almost from scratch has been and continues to be a tall order in itself however construction for 32 teams seems to be on schedule. we have now 6 more stadiums to go by the end of this year 1st quarter of next year will be launching 2 stadiums as well by 2021 all or stadiums will be ready there was already controversy surrounding the 2022 qatar world cup including allegations of human rights abuses towards migrant workers the heat in changing the date to
