5:13 pm
right that's often what people here want to know is politics dividing the state into. i tried to talk about it with former classmates but then i noticed that most of the people i was friends with have moved away to big cities just like i did i was right back saying it's a delicate topic society i hear is bitterly divided but no one wants to talk to me about it on camera. to get an idea of what's going on now i go to an campaign event the far right edgy take a view on who is considered the top candidate here and he insults other parties and journalists too but can his constituency except of opinions or reasons or. if you have it more i always look for an arena where i could influence people
5:14 pm
and if there is someone who doesn't want to accept this then i'm sorry they consider the next table and drink as beer alone. they're going to fire me when we have a family celebration sometimes we start arguing my wife keeps the arguments from escalating by changing the subject to the stable and yeah i meet with bow to him until he has been the state prim you know if the ranger for the past 5 years he's the only left party state premier in germany many think he's down to earth and he's pragmatic but while he was in office the a.f.d. succeeded in expanding its base so why couldn't the left party keep the f.t. in check yeah damita put when i try to keep them in check they began polarizing the constituency i want to talk to the people on the streets and i want an end to this polarization i want to let the people know where we stand and where we're headed or know if they can vixen via the only problem is that the range is becoming
5:15 pm
increasingly polarized that's what left party supporters keep telling me this is a vision there's a small rebellion but it's not a small as we'd like it to be. some people will irreconcilable with that speech is harsha more vicious and dimwitted my old home town seems withdrawn and i fear of the state elections might make things worse according to polls the left party with all of the under law passed the more support but might not succeed in forming a coalition government and since no one wants to work with me a year there the federal state is the drift of the political deadlock which would further deepen the social trenches. sometimes when i go back home i feel like a stranger. argentinians head to the polls on sunday and the opposition is on course for an election victory over incumbent president. a rapidly tumbling economy soaring a sleigh ssion and

5:17 pm
disappointment felt by many arjan times over much chris unsuccessful handling of the economy. came to power in 2015 promising market reforms open door trade policies and strong investment but 4 years on the argentine economy is shrinking and annual inflation stands at more than 53 percent in a primary vote an organist seen as a dress rehearsal for the election mockery suffered a shock a landslide defeat for numbers won by a massive 16 percent polls now predict that fernandez will win the presidency out right without the need for a 2nd round runoff a win for fernandez would also spell the return of argentina's controversial former president cristina kirchner who is running for vice president. she's a polarizing figure a populist who retains a huge following in his feud as
5:18 pm
a champion of the poor yet she also faces investigations into fraud and money laundering. economists are predicting that a win for fernandez could exacerbate economic volatility that were just out after the primary vote financial markets were thrown into turmoil and the peso plunged more than 30 percent. and protests over the worsening economic situation led lawmakers to approve an emergency food law last month with neighbors chile and bolivia currently suffering protests and on rest could this election push another country in the region into further instability. gadhafi is nicole for covering the elections for us and she joins us from in front of the cost of us out and when osiris that is the official residence of argentina's president had a call good to see you you've been talking to voters of the last few days what have they told you about why they're looking for
5:19 pm
a change. well they are of course looking for a change because this is a truly devastating crisis the country is experiencing right now but the polarization the report was just talking about also spills over into the hopes people have for these elections a lot of people say that the only reason why people aren't out in the streets here in argentina like they are for example in chile is that these elections are coming and that with them people are hoping for a democratic change that is about to arrive other people especially older voters are saying that they have no hope for this country in the state it is in right now because no matter who you vote for everybody is corrupt that is what they believe there is a deep distrust into the political class here in argentina they say that crises are part of the argentinean circle of life and that even if the government that is to
5:20 pm
come leads the country out of this crisis it's only a matter of time until the next one strikes that government that is to come would be led by bet the fed does what is his biggest selling point to voters. well here is a much more moderate candidate than the other apparent is the one that is also why he was handpicked by cristina fernandez we just heard that she's running for vice president so that is something unheard of the vice presidential candidate picking the candidate to run for president but of course together as she is a much more radical proneness they are able to appear to a much broader segment of society that also that difference between them that he's more moderate and she's a lot more radical could also lead to friction so international on the kurds are wondering how long this dual in in the government could could last or how long this government could eventually last and what about the current president the incumbent
5:21 pm
. how is he trying to win. against all odds. well it's a bit of a stretch to say use trying to win because really the chances are very low but he's been going all out since that bad primary results were in the country on the sepoy that tour a yes we can tour trying to garner support making an usually populist promises to the people but a lot of people say it's too little too late that he's running this campaign as if you were a usual candidate and not the president and that frustration with him will also reflect in the polls this sunday all right our correspondent nicole for the reporting for us there from buenos aires thank you. could married men be allowed to become catholic priests that is one of the controversial topics being debated at a 3 week summit at the vatican the meeting of bishops is focused on the amazon
