a message to the world britain's lewis hamilton leads an anti-racism protest by kneeling before the start of the race that said it's team mate on course for its 1st world championship. on the call for welcome to the show. croatia as prime minister has claimed a great victory in the country's parliamentary elections for luminary official results give the governing conservatives a strong lead ahead of the center left social democratic party the votes also opens the playing field to a controversial new force and croatian politics the nationalist homeland movement which came in 3rd. observing street tide you precautions and social distancing. counts that. the result

a clear victory for the h.d. said party of prime minister i'm replying to bitch. some say the center right party called the early elections in order to profit from its relatively successful handling of the coronavirus pandemic. and that decision seems to have paid off. a little more democracy means that citizens can express their opinions today is the day in which we have this great encounter with the will of the people i will be happy with the decision of our citizens to continue working for croatia. the main challenger the social democrat leader to have all been a ditch have been predicted to run a much closer race he needs a coalition very small the center left parties. he said has not won enough seats to secure a majority meaning you will have to find allies to govern with busy. one option

could be the homeland movement the folk singer miroslav score 0 he polled 3rd despite public outrage over his nationalists views a coalition with him would push the government further to the right. but finding a coalition partner is only the beginning of a difficult journey the new government will have to navigate croatia out of an economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic. out in the streets assad grip some voters are pessimistic. for many a bit nervous and what's important to me is to come and vote but frankly i don't expect things to change dramatically misunderstood and i think both the ruling h.t. said of the social democrats have not achieved anything positive in the last 30 years. croatians are hungry for change one of the reasons why they turned out to vote in spite of the pandemic. earlier we spoke with day and your letter professor of political science at the university of zagreb and asked if these results trend

out to be as expected then surprising because earlier public opinion polls during the campaign actually predicted that the result would be tight and there were 2 main coalitions the conservatives and social democrats would be almost neck to neck it hasn't actually happened the creation democratic union has one of out of 20 seats more than social democrats and that is now in a very comfortable position to choose the coalition partner what is also good for them for the prime minister plank in particular is that actually he doesn't have to form the coalition with the 3rd party that is middle of course homeland movement and this is good for him because the what's his whole 1st term in office between 16 and 20 was actually a marked by a moving towards the center center rather than following a kind of orbán is all it takes such as we see for example by if you go to oregon in under a little score is

a force that you want to see more conservative more empty minority more on the migrant he questions that is your gender equality and has he had some quite. outrageous outrageous statements to this effect now. can choose to have other smaller part this in government than to form a more centrist coalition but he will certainly remain the prime minister of great shock. that was daniel which speaking to d.w. a short while ago. let's now take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. spain's a marina district along the northwest coast will go back under a 5 day lockdown after a spike in corona virus infections around $70000.00 people will be affected local authorities have traced the outbreak to reopened pubs. in the capital daly has inaugurated 810000 bed hospital for coronavirus patients it's said

family violence they're calling for less police offices and more social workers and translators. are down for a moment underestimate how challenging magic in some respects that will be for those $3000.00 residents the state government has offered a 2 week rent freeze and welfare payments to support those in the lockdown but residents say the seriousness of the measures are unfair with many highlighting how other people in lockdown suburbs are still allowed to leave their houses for work or grocery shopping their tenants feel powerless they will spend the next 5 days waiting for a knock at the door that brings food supplies or a coded 19 test and won't be allowed out until everyone has been tested. and only has allowed a rescue ship that was stuck in limbo for days to dock at a sicilian port there the $180.00 like ones on board will be transferred to a quarantine ship there were scenes of jubilation on the ocean viking when the news
