a preliminary data released by the election commission shows his party on course to increase its majority in parliament with a mandate of business friendly policies and a tough stand on national security he was given a rousing welcome by b j p supporters at a rally in delhi just a while ago in a message on twitter earlier prime minister modi promised to unite the country and build what he called a strong and inclusive india is after he ran what complex old divisive campaign. the sounds of victory across india people have gathered to celebrate the leader of the hindu nationalist beach a p party there and try modi already during the last hours of the vote count 9 it was clear that the current prime minister's party would emerge as the winner of the countrywide general elections not only motives are to the m.b. to be there to the degree of people a friend of the democracy has gone an honest government has gone and this has

proved does the can bring across all cost all the legion all agreed lines i am supporting mr modi is the. thing if you like. to be used to hear all this so much of india right now. india's general elections took place over the last 6 weeks it's the largest democratic ballots in the world after reports about some election tampering the opposition asked for a recount on very thick ation of the results with paper records off the votes international observers say the election was though largely free and fair and the ruling party says to opposition claims are just a distraction modi campaigned hard to keep the commanding maturity he won in 2014 has promised better incomes for farmers and more infrastructure spending but question marks remain over india slowing economic growth a modest attitude towards the country's 200000000 muslims for now but he's many

supporters celebrating 5 more years of his leadership. so let's join michelle just throw in the delhi welcoming nation so modis already claimed victory and it looks like the celebration party is just getting started. that's absolutely right more the has cleaned the retreat of the prime minister has been given the mandate for another 5 year term now of course the results only about 30 percent in but the leaves look pretty reliable that the ruling party agenda thought parties not only one to win more seats on the own it's actually going to win more seats as part of the overall alliance as worth almost claiming 2 thirds of the house on the streets off delhi there were thousands of people who poured out dancing chanting playing the drums i'm celebrating the victory off in the interim

all the he is seen as the i can that represents the party this week tree is expressed leaving actually rooted to the prime minister even during his speech he was continually interrupted by fans by supporters chanting more the more the all across delhi also we have seen all stars go up within the last few hours with images of the prime minister saying thank you waters thank you for your blessings thank you for supporting a new india so definitely the hard good and the bharti jubilant right now they made history in 2014 and they seem to have improved the score and 2019 so was this the election it would become very issues or was this all about modi. well when it comes to campaign issues of the top party put out there the i would like to compare that to the opposition which has several schemes that are proposed respond 1st let's talk about minimum income it spoke about

a separate budget for far less but none of that is important right now the opposition is entirely decimated and while the garbage on the top party highlighted its achievements it's the the what it claimed was just achievements the mean plank was nationalism there was a standoff between india and pakistan earlier this year though the prime minister was seen as having taken decisive action by carrying out airstrikes according to india and this actually shored up his support all across the country the prime minister indra alys said award for the b. is awarded for the prime minister directly so even bending many people on the field who were not that much in favor of their be candidate they still wanted to watch for the notice the symbol of the b.g.p. simply to support the prime minister now in the victory speech that he just made he has tanked the people of the youth the farm was for of the faults of the population

which are actually seen as critical of him but clearly that hasn't really come true and the prime minister has repeatedly emphasized that this is a victory for india he tweeted about this he's talked about this in his speech he has said this is not about a political party this is not about one man this is a witch she for india almost equating himself to the country to the good of the whole country but it doesn't look like the water cooperation agrees so modis forgers very much your own the way you go what about the congress party gandhi has lost his funky seat this great deal of state appears to be very much on the decline . well on the decline would be putting it mightily i'm afraid it looks like your so far the congress has put out gandhi the president of the congress has put out a statement conceding the families see that you mention that it has been lost but a proper concession should be expected just a bit later this evening now the congress while it went all out at least by the

looks of it on the campaign trail criticizing this government for being divisive for not delivering on its promises for being corrupt none of these allegations seem to have stuck this government it's this party itself the international congress and the opposition has barely managed to shore up its currency chair that our questions are being read it's did they can even lead the opposition and even the regional parties that they expected to play an important role in the selection the so-called king week us would eventually have been invited doubt the ball hard hit on the party not only doesn't need the regional parties to agree with them they've barely even need that advice because right now it looks like they're going to push past 300 seats they're going to actually increase their tally this individually and they have a coalition to back them up which will make it very simple for them to leave the country for the next 5 years so it's time definitely falling into the national congress to introspect some are saying the party is actually dead because of the

kind of results that have come out the leadership will have to introspect the entire opposition will have to introspect about what exactly went wrong not only in this campaign but over the last few years why were they able to where why would they absolutely on the button to raise anti incumbency is the sentiment against time and somewhere in the movie did you do d w correspondent richard just wrote delhi thank you so. after some of the other stories making news around the world com has returned to the indonesian capital jakarta following a deadly clashes between police and supporters of defeated presidential candidates a proposal bianco the former general called on his supporters to go home and announce that he would launch a legal challenge against president of joker we don't those reactions. the man known as the american taliban has been released from prison in the united states john walker lindh was captured in afghanistan in 2001 and 20 guilty to supporting

politicians are still engulfed in political turmoil over breakfast as prime minister theresa may is out once again fighting to keep. the kids walk straight to london then we're joined on the vase at a polling station in the city welcome barbara what is the mood there given that and how do people feel about these elections happening a talk given that the country was supposed to be out of the block by now. the mood of course is lost as well to be expected still quite subdued you can stand for like half an hour in one of the polling stations like this one here behind us in the center of london and westminster and this is just a trickle of people 2 or 3 maybe walking in and out so there it will not be a large turnout it is to be feared and yes of course this is a rather absurd situation because cheers had believed fiercely that they would have been long since out of the e.u.

we remember the date was the 2020 lines of march of this year and on the other hand the remaining day had fought and hoped for a 2nd referendum and that is not yet to be seen either so both sides have been. pointed in a way and so they are just dragging themselves in small numbers to the polling station to participate in in this year european election with this thing they're going to send any peace which will just maybe there be there for a few months and then have to return home and our people are very polarized. it's incredible we know how much breaks it has to troll in the country apart and we've talked to people here and it's the same picture and nothing has changed i mean there is just no coming together again different city years our fears and they say all the want is out and of course we know that the brakes of the party has forward a rather fears election campaign they have been out with nigel for raj at the top

and they even want to heartbreaks it they say let's just turn around and slam the door on the e.u. and be done with it and the remainders on the other hand i mean they're trying to vote for different parties and they're just sort of giving their votes to the liberal democrats to the greens to don't use that promise that they're really want to remain in the european union send a clear message and those 2 camps have to have absolutely nothing to do with each other and given that the ruling conservative party is projected to take a beating in these elections are they actually bothered about this result. of course for the conservative party conservative party this can be a blot vos i mean some of the projections talk about single digit results which might mean they could come out in fist place after the break so the party labor the lib dems and some of the smaller parties which then would be the message for the conservatives to finally pull the plug on to resume

a cell bets are up and the atmosphere here in westminster is somewhat feed while while the true reason may is going to survive this week all the next week in the office of prime minister and the best description came from the senior tory who said she has pushed the sofa against the door and barricaded herself in within 10 downing street and now we have all the way forward to may emerge finally she will have to come out in front of the door and then the tories was there had just a white hatchets waiting for the reason may and a wider question. goes across the block that there is a growing freely across europe that its institutions are too far removed from their lives do any piece who are going to be voted on over the next few days so they actually have the power to solve people's problems. they don't really i mean they some of them are really have really fought hard to sort of be heard and to come across with

a message that they could do something in europe but the atmosphere is still so divided in the country that the end tell your opinions listen to anything i mean no argument gets roots in them and there remain is of course they come from the exact opposite position a position that they say we just we only strong if we stay together with our neighbors there is a seems a more rational approach and those 2 sides don't meet and for the any piece it's a pretty impossible position plus they don't really know how long they're going to stay in brussels is it even worth taking up taking up the fight and going into battle was the new. really emerging populist on the extreme right and nobody knows that and so it is a really it's a task that doesn't really carry carry a lot of a lot of importance in the eye of the british public at large. in london thank you . celebrations to the 70th anniversary of germany's post-war

constitution have begun in the capital in a known here is the basic law it came into effect to this day 194900 of the allies is now considered the foundation of german democracy official festivities are being mocked in front of the brandenburg gate. attending those celebrations german president. noted that his countrymen know too little about this usually important document so all this week t w has been looking at how people translate the basic law into everyday reality today we focus on the guarantee of freedom of expression we met with ahmed shah who is originally from iraq to see how he uses these rights to say what he wants and to provoke. i left my country because of freedom of expression and 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. 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. there's pushing and shoving the police officer steps in to prevent violence no no no. he's not welcome. there. are many muslims it's a to boot and sometimes you have to be provocative and cross boundaries in order to

change something in society and so. from all of this and i'm from a religious family there were certain rules about what i could and couldn't do it was somehow clear to everyone that you couldn't be different and you couldn't think differently. at 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 i'm 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 and. then they looked me in a room for i was so nervous they tortured me with cables and electric shocks before

and that. and i think. this is. a lesson that was the day i left iraq because 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. a lot to be here and i won't let anyone here tell me how to live and what i'm allowed to do. that's human and especially what i'm allowed to say.

i am free. and. well the share price for deutsche bank is trading at its lowest price ever so there was little to celebrate about i mean shareholders meeting today in frankfurt adding to the news ongoing litigation against deutsche bank and a failed marriage with a german competitor and investor confidence is an all time low. which of bank shareholders are unhappy. the share price has plunged into the cellar it has been trading slightly above $6.00 euros $0.40 that's its lowest level in more than 45 years and shareholders are losing patience. with. a lot of things went wrong at deutsche bank in recent years i hope they can get

back into shape. if. the expectation is that something fundamental changes something at the core. i think. take a seat and step down from his position supervisory board chairman powell and c.e.o. christian thieving are blamed by shareholders for the band's disastrous performance in recent months some large shareholder groups want to withhold giving official approval to the board that would be a slap in the face the c.e.o. says that would be completely unjustified. look we have brought deutsche bank back into the black we haven't reached our goal. would you go unplugged we now have the fundamentals for a sustainably profitable back carbon bank but there's a lot of work to be done the investment banking unit is enormous and it hardly makes a profit and deutsche bank faces lawsuits for allegedly money laundering and interest
