let me get. this is the w.'s line from spain's general election does little to untangle the political stalemate projections show the socialist set to win even though they lost seats the conservatives make gains while the far right focus party surges into 3rd place in madrid for analysis and reaction also on the program live in the face of the rerun of last month's disputed presidential election at home around his agrees to call a new vote independent monitors report monstrous fraud widespread protests broke out president trying victory 3 weeks ago to take you to countries of ministers of

capital. and he's big and young i'm 50 years older than the rest of the cast of sesame street are celebrating half a century of educational t.v. for preschool children. i'm phil graham welcome to the program polls have closed in spain's national election with preliminary projections showing the ruling socialist party winning the most votes for the prime minister petro sanchez his party is on track to win the most votes but it looks likely he'll be unable to form a governing coalition a conservative people's party came in 2nd right when fox is expected to come in 3rd place improving its results considerably since last april the selection. trade. because bond and lisa they had courses for the socialist party and the trade

welcome they said so these projections in the very back of the ruling socialists have won the most votes but look like being short of a majority again what's the mood there. well the mood here is rather gloomy i say people are not really happy about these projections although they're trying to keep a stiff upper lip given that the definite results will only come out at 1030 tonight so they're really hoping that the share will go up and that they will maybe be able to get more seats than last time around but as it's looking at this very moment they chose the interim prime minister will have less seats then before hand in parliament and that's really certainly not what he was thinking of when he called snap elections just a few weeks ago. the right wing vox party was expected to do well this projected to more than double seats in parliament why is that.

what's the yes it's it's projected to actually double its seat as you said and that's because the comparison has really been focusing very much of the question of catalonian independence that something that vox is really has got a strong stance on that's asking for the catalonian autonomy status to be suspended it's been very tough in its stance been saying you know we need a strong central government and when you look at the socialist party it's got a much more conciliatory approach because the solution is normally again quite a lot of seats in catalonia which elects 48 seats in congress and so the catalonia the socialists really want to kind of schmooze very chess in catalonia itself although that of the it hasn't gone down very well with voters in the rest of the country and that's why the results are likely to be. white bats for the socialists

and rather good for vox so this election was was called to try and break the political stalemate but if the projections are correct then this present political paralysis really looks likely to continue. absolutely it's not really looking good for the country you know for the socialists which is likely to be at that they're likely to be the 1st party palm and what they will but they'll have even less seats than before and they will team have to team up with a lot of other parties about 6 or 7 parties to have an absolute majority and their natural partners so you need us put demos and see that out of which is now saying which is that you know market liberal party which in the past didn't want to cooperate with the socialists but they've now said well we might actually abstain to get sanchez through the the votes of 4 of the government but that's not going to be nothing anymore so sanchez will have to work together with lots and lots of

different small parties that are all quite diverting on their opinion you have to make compromises and that's really going to be very complicated for him he's in there is the headquarters of spain surface party in madrid thank you. to believe here why the embattled president where all this is calling for new elections after a regional election monitoring body reported what they called monstrous fraud in october's results the call from the left as president marks a complete reversal after he claimed victory 3 weeks ago and refuted opposition claims that the vote had been rigged and he still facing opposition calls to step down if i'm wrong this is bolivia's 1st indigenous leader has held office since 2006 is announcement followed weeks of antigovernment protests. by will call for new national elections which by voting allow the bolivian people to democratically elect new authorities that incorporate new pollute. actors.

straight to the countries that capital of pozen where we join our correspondent johan ramires welcome johan so the organization of american states action or does just talk about what they said was 8 of observed irregularities talk us through some of their findings. you're going to say show on the phone that there are 1700 iraqis that it says in this process they said that they cannot verify if at least 350000 votes were legal votes something that could change absolutely they were salt of the election. the organization said also that there was a wide scale money for the nation so of course these reports of their organization of american states with the government in a very very difficult situation. and when they delivered these findings presumably they said that these votes were manipulated in favor of the president.

the president has always said that he wanted to wait for this all that or the organization of american states to take a decision he said that this decision this announcement from their decision was going to be binding so now of course that we have this report of course he has not he has any other choice calling for fresh elections so now they have now he's reversed his position will a new election satisfy the protesters. i think that no other actions will just satisfy protesters just with what i was out of power on the net as his sub vice president. too but with more doubt is in power that they are not going to accept this they want also

a new electoral commission so lot of things that they are asking for but in this actual this current context they are not going to accept this we are just 100 meters away from a lot of protest a 100 people are interest rates asking for the resignation of actually the main leader of the opposition said that he gives to olmert on this one day to resign one day so he's supposed to. be out of power tomorrow so this is a very unpredictable situation he said also that today in the afternoon he's going to come to displays this is the palace of the government the headquarters of the government he's going to come here to give him a letter of course everybody is not here but this is symbolic but so that's to say that the opposition is very very radical in this moment on day one just everyone is out of power. of amir of. bolivia thank you. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world were renewed

clashes between protesters and police in baghdad on sunday schools were injured in the on grass court suggest there were no fatalities the protests came after 5 people were killed in clashes with security forces at. least 3 people have been killed in the massive bushfires raging across australia's eastern state of new south wales the blazes are also tearing through queensland for the north thousands of people have been moved to safety and total fire ban has been declared. germany has been marking the 30000 version of the whole of the berlin wall events took place across the capital with the main celebration at the brandenburg gate chance and i'm going back and other european leaders i took part in a ceremony to remember those who died on the east germany's shoot to kill orders against anyone trying to flee to the west. well it was addressed to the white house and arrived on saturday evening at the w. reporter federica badger has been tracking the story welcome that every so. great

new piece of wall how does it get to washington received well so this is all part of a of an initiative called a wall against walls and it was launched by a berlin base pro-democracy group often it is a shop to open society and on the 30th anniversary of the fall of the world they decided to use a portion of the symbol of the division that germany experienced during the cold war to send a very clear message to president donald trump to criticize his immigration policy and his spline to build a border on the us mexico. wall sorry and the u.s. and mexico border and that world peace waits almost 3 tons that's the equivalent of 5 grand pianos they had to fly it from germany to new york and then transported it to d.c. by truck and then they tried to deliver it to the white house on saturday evening. the security personnel however did not allow the delivery so even if there was no

official statement by the white house or by donald trump we could say he did not accept the gift ok what are they trying to achieve i mean there's 2 sides to the message in that letter and there's it's a way to say that walls don't work and it's also a message to express gratitude to the u.s. for its for the role it played in helping to bring down the berlin wall particularly john f. kennedy and ronald reagan the former presidents of the u.s. but it's also yet the main message is that we should learn from history we should not build new walls so big piece of wall and they say we're not accepting delivery so what happens to it so yeah since donald trump even if not directly in directly did not accept the gift the group is now has is now taking it on a little road trip. we've just spoken to them they've just left d.c. and as you can see here in those pictures they are transporting it with a pickup and a trailer and we spoke to marcus line he's

a part of the initiative his the one driving that that pick up and this is what he had to tell us to travel across the country and we're going to give people the opportunity to see the walt touch the wall to live history. to close and personal so will be stopping towns across the way. a lot of people see it ultimately we're going to reach an. end going to try to place a very close to the existing border wall. so feel that they were hoping for this piece of the world to stand in the white house but since it wasn't accepted then they're going to use it to speak to the american people and they're going to be not commenting their trip on their social media platforms as well so we can all follow their journey fredricka thank you so much. not a big bird cookie monster and the rest of the sesame street dick kerr who have been celebrating the 50th anniversary of the show that made them international stars
