way. argument trick starts nov 14th w. . last. this is e w news live or from ballina for elections 8 no 4 years polls open in spain yet another election on voters looking for change or suffering an election fatigue acting prime minister has or sanchez hopes to finally secure a majority we'll go live to our correspondent in madrid. also coming up libya's

president claims that he is the victim of a coup evo morales said anti democratic groups are trying to the posts in this and least change sides can join protests against him. and germany marks 30 years since the fall of the. far works and musical performances where the centerpiece of celebrations of the city is a landmark brandenburg gate with thousands joining the party. thanks. i'm going to humphrey glad he could join me in spain citizens are voting today the 4th election in as many years with polls suggesting that the vote will do little to break the political deadlock between the parties while opinion polls show that prime minister pedro sanchez is socialist party is in the need to though it's predicted it will not secure a majority the far right vox party is tipped to. make gains after their rise in the

last election. and from all we can bring in our correspondent bob avail who is in madrid for a stopper good to see you i think it's fair to say that spain had what's most us few weeks in the run up to this election so what is the atmosphere like there today . it was took off. mostly because of the situation catalonia because after the imprisonment off a number off the separatist leaders there were really some violent demonstrations in barcelona and emotions very renne very high also not only on the side of the separatists but also on the other side because what this does is really sort of as a joke nationalist feeling and many many people say you know we are one united spain we don't want any of this that you know part of the country would split off and so it all has become very emotional botch apart from that the election campaign

itself was rather short it was duly elected muster there was no real talk about the real issues for instance the economy here in spain and also if you talk to people the i really fed up was discarded she didn't use political stalemate here we talked to some people here in front of this polling station in this center of madrid let's listen to what they have to say the same way i really hope that we can end this confusing situation because in the end it will not lead us anywhere but here i am with what is a high percentage of people who won't show up to very today but i think in the end people will stick to their parties and the right be a big difference he will come after but i doubt if they can't agree this time it will be the last time i vote and they also shouldn't be paid any more. well we just heard there from some of those very tense barbara not a high level of enthusiasm we have to say with that in mind what is the expected

outcome of this election. it is expected that all over the the result is going to be relatively similar to the last one and there might yet be another hung parliament so these people we just heard they're not going to get this simple and direct solution they really so wish for botts bot there is of course an element of surprise it is possible that things might sort of really kick over there might be a strong rise for the vox the right wing radical party and if that comes to pass there is a certain chance that in the end the country could have a right wing coalition between conservatives as centrist liberals and the right at the vox party caught it it's not quite clear looking at the polls it seems that the socialists are going to lose a few seats but will still come on strongest and they might in the end on the other hand also sort of be able to form a coalition or have

a minority government supported by the left for davis party so everything is still out for play and nobody really knows what this will bring about a cook lucian this is what spaniards really hope for briefly if you wouldn't mind bopper just tell us a little bit more about the vox party and what it stands for. the vox party stands for a very strong nationalist feeling they want a strong central state they want to absolutely suppress by legal and by police means the separatist movement in catalonia they are very strongly against feminism for instance that seems something that really rubs rather wrong rather strangely and current and modern staying but it seems to be a sort of backlash against social change here during the last years that was rather directed and that left many people just are injured so the vox party really might be one of the big winners of this election day whether they'll be able to govern

that we still don't know and watching all of it for us all very end bob of the vessel in madrid thanks barbara. well demonstrators in bolivia have occupied the headquarters of 2 state rule costa's and other buildings in what the country's president says is an attempted coup even more on this is calling for talks with the opposition but leaders have rejected his offer they accuse him of rigging the last election meanwhile police officers have also changed sides marching in the demonstrations they were meant to be bringing under control. a victory for anti-government protesters as police abandoned their posts to join the demonstrations. just days ago the groups clashed now they stand side by side. there are a 1000000000 poses a new threat to even morales south america's longest standing leader.
