8:02 pm
supporting the victorian vision of political outsider fernandez. demolition of how the people are waking up they can't stand the oppression of those who have more and don't give a damn about us the working people the poor babies so i'm happy because people still have this hope and my daughter will have a better future. but supporters believe fernandez can lift a nation out of its economic crisis the 60 year old law professor term president elect was a relative political unknown until recently but he's clear on his plans for the country you know that is where you know we are of course going to work together as closely as possible. because the only thing that will concern us is stopping the suffering of argentinians once and for all this election is seen as a referendum on conservative president receive a mockery poverty sort under his watch but conceding defeat he struck a unifying tone with his base for argentina an orderly transition that will bring
8:03 pm
stability to old argentinians because the most important thing is the future leader of this election is a return to power for argentina a center left making a comeback this time as mice president cristina fernandez tickets now she herself was president for 8 years fernandes his choice of running mate split opinion among voters the kitchen doesn't see it as dividing the country you know it's really a modern lapidary today i'll bet is president of all argentinean. for these people the hope is that this political plot twist will lift the nation out of poverty. are for more of this now i'm joined by our correspondents nicole for there she is in one is always going to bring to you nicole so we've got a transition of power from the business friendly president mockery to the center left under president elect fernandes how drastic will this shift be in terms of
8:04 pm
economic policy. well that's the big unknown here at the moment because he says that he wants to do everything differently but doesn't really say how we don't know who his finance minister is going to be he has said very little about his plans of renegotiating the country's debt with the i.m.f. economists certainly say that what is to be expected is less market friendly economic policy and also a lot more protectionism one thing he has announced is what he calls a social contract between unions and employers that would freeze consumer prices and income for 6 months but everything beyond these 6 months is worryingly unknown considering the country situation right now and president elect fernandez basically it looks like he's going to try to undo most of president markers policies so how much support do you think he's going to hell for that.
8:05 pm
pull margaret doesn't really have another choice than to cooperate this is also his legacy they're talking about here he's still going to be the president until december 10th and for many he is the culprit of this crisis that argentina is going through at the moment so procuring a smooth transition even if it is with the political enemy is part of what he is going to leave behind and the image that argentinians are going to have once he he steps down from the presidency now they're striking a conciliatory tone the day after the elections knowing that they will have to work alongside each other but after december 10th that is sure to change because maurice your mockery isn't out to make any friends once he moves on to the opposition. or the correspondent to go for alicia brown is always there on the for well from this

8:08 pm
behind it there were no shots fired at 1st and then suddenly there was gunfire and the helicopter began firing back. saying the operation from the white house situation room with donald trump and he's top military commander has a dramatic address the u.s. president said that gotti had died quite like a dog blowing himself and his children up he ignited his vest killing himself and the 3 children his body was mutilated by the blast test results gave certain immediate and totally positive identification now back that his demise is a further blow to the so-called islamic state that once controlled a tear tree the size of britain now the man who proclaimed a state and the land itself of both being lost but the terror group left behind thousands of victims and shattered lives the city in which al baghdadi proclaimed
8:09 pm
peace caliph it most so he's now. well. mud on his tent is a fraction of the sins and misdeeds roots on the victims who lost their lives in the old city area. and yeah i hear their bodies are still under the rubble and because of him and his organization. and this fight isn't over i was off to a bag that his death was announced a joint could if u.s. operation targeted and night spikes men the man considered a potential future leader of the group he's also reported dead but even now i think 10000 eyes militants remaining to plot jihad and vengeance. well here in europe the british government has accepted the european union's proposal to extend the deadline for breaks it until the end of january and that gives the u.k. up to 3 months more to approve
8:10 pm
a breaks it withdrawal deal and just in the last couple of minutes british prime minister boris johnson lost his latest attempt to secure a snap election in december it's expected that he will try again later this week to get approval for that election. all right the story is fluid and let's take it over to one of our correspondents who all the pots on the story for us going to use your logic so let's start with brags that boris johnson he's lost another brit said vote i mean what will happen next. yeah another defeat for the government his latest attempt was i believe the time he is column and to approve a general election and paul newman has again said no he needed a tooth majority and he didn't get it because labor the labor opposition poncy did abstain from the vote they are not supporting
8:11 pm
a general election at this point now what will happen next well boris johnson has another option you can ask paul amend for a simple majority to approve of a general election and it does seem that he has maybe 2 other up positions on board the scottish national party and the liberal democrats they know that they will do well in a general election and they might just back boris johnson's plans to push one through pretty christmas the question is just on the timing on when that would happen. european union gave boards johnson more flexibility. to get a break so why does he want to snap election. well boris johnson just said it himself he believes that this parliament the current makeup of this parliament is dysfunctional and that he will never get a real majority for his deal to be approved to be rectified to then finally for the u.k. to leave the european union as he has sworn that that would happen already on october
8:12 pm
31st that deadline as you said is of the table but that's why he believes general election is the only way out of out of this out of out of this deadlock in parliament and he wants to get a mandate from the british people that he gets another bigger majority and for a majority in parliament to then pushes for extra deals through. georgia how does all of. the leaving the european union. well 1st of all we know that there is going to be another extension until january 31st so the u.k. parliament has time whether there is a general election are not to discuss all things breck said but i think what we've seen over the past year is that really in this palm and there is no majority on either way in the brics it saga and it is somewhat dysfunctional so
8:13 pm
a general election could shake up the numbers and we could for example see a majority that is pro european that indeed wants to remain maybe in the long term in the european union or one full boris johnson so he gets a mandate for his strategy what is for sure though is that a general election here in the u.k. would be all about that of course course. as if it could be about anything else show a lot of thoughts on the stories boards in london she want to thank you. you're watching news live from berlin coming up pakistan's population boom d.w. visits a rule area for a look at why family planning is still a taboo the results of them are too much for many to handle that's coming up in just a moment. the world jewish congress has. to stop anti-semitism here in germany a few minutes ago the president of the organization wrong or presented with the

only being in office but already before all through her political career and you really could have felt it here in munich that the audience especially the members of the world jewish committee conference said that our president currently here in munich for the next 2nd shift meeting they release all sorts what she missed a lot of said here i think there's a great quote of emotional points in that price and in that support from his neck and for this award it comes just weeks after the deadly attack near a synagogue in the east german city of hala how is the world jewish congress reacting to reports of growing entice images i'm here in germany. where they presented a study and a survey here in munich that was published a couple of days ago saying that 27 percent of germans are anti-semitic 18 percent of germans and miss

8:18 pm
a subject that still taboo in pakistan's conservative muslim society sex education once married women face pressure to procreate and fears of a backlash from islamic clerics that discourages public discussion about family planning and access to contraceptives is very limited just over a 3rd of pakistanis have access to them now this means that the population continues to boom there are more than 200000000 people in pakistan individual families often feel that they can barely manage with so many males to feed. me has this report. me standing up to make a difference child i soon row is a community health worker in the town of picher in sindh province in a conservative muslim society she reaches out to women pakistan's public health system fails to reach today she's speaking about family planning and reproductive health but it's not an easy sell money without yeah the mit kind of authentic
8:19 pm
people are more aware of family planning these days but they're often reluctant because they're myths and misconceptions about using contraceptives some women are afraid that it will make them infertile forever others think it's against their religion the child is not a trained nurse or a doctor but she lives and works in the community so when she refers them to the local government run hospital big trust her enough to go and get professional help . rima is a mother of 2 this is her 1st ever visit seeking advice on birth control the doctor takes a medical history and advises her on her options and injection for a 3 month gap bills for a daily use meal contraception as well as implant metric for 5 to 10 year contraception but unlike her most women in pakistan are not allowed to make these choices order says more than the women it's her in-laws and the high. spent who
8:20 pm
call the shots as doctors and we have to talk to the families because without their consent women usually can say no to having babies. no wonder then pakistanis produce more babies than any other country in south asia except of coniston millions of these children will never go to school they will be malnourished because their parents can't afford a decent meal for their large families boys may have a better chance of survival but girls will most likely face a bleak future. the question is where could this lead pakistan a nuclear armed country lagging way behind its neighbors in human development to find out i have come to meet the men of disapproval community at this village meeting people see benefit in family planning but this is a fear of a backlash from islamic clerics is the major obstacle. this has promised that he will provide food for the rich. they say their family planning is

a sin and who are due to interfere. then we try to explain to them that it is not against their religion why would other muslim countries control. the mission me there is no called a nation of committed at the top in my time as a doctor i have never seen a family planning official visit to a lesser investment communities. for fame i would and i guess community. it's true that decades of militarism and corruption has taken a big toll on pakistan's social development but it now seems the biggest long term trek to the country may not be external but could come from its unchecked population growth. or listen to the west coast of the united states now where this firefighters are battling huge blazes in northern and southern california strong winds are fanning the flames and a statewide emergency has been declared california. gov says that firefighters are
