mr. mitsotakis will be able to govern alone. and those -- political stability, i don't think that there is any real chance for the conservatives not to get the absolute majority. by contrast, i would say that the election is more important for the center-left and who might lead the opposition in greece. because as i said before, it will be very important for a democratic country like greece to have an opposition, a main opposition that will be able to offer sincere and reliable alternatives and do it in sincere and good debate in the greek parliament. >> george, does that mean that pasok then will go back to where it was quite used to being before it was eclipsed by syriza and be in this case the main opposition party from now on? >> well, this is the objective of the election of june to see what extent the center-left political spectrum, not to trust cipras and mitsotakis but to trust the leader of pasok and the party. this party has managed to renew its political personnel. and obviously persons are new entities and the ambiti

under a complicated greek electoral system, mr mitsotakis will need to face the people again injuly ifity. the brazilian president, luiz inacio lula da silva, has urged the sports authorities in spain and other european countries to act decisively to prevent the spread of fascism and racism in football grounds. he was speaking after the brazil international viniciusjunior was subjected to racist chants during real madrid's match at valencia. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. cj has autism and, after three heart attacks, has disabilities, which means he often has to use a wheelchair. he discovered photography as a teenager and hasn't looked back. i enjoy the photography because i feel i hide behind my camera a bit because it's kind of like a comfort blanket like a child would have, sort of my safety net. in his teens, he teamed up with professional photographer clive figes, who mentored him. they clicked and clive realised cj had a gift. i learned to treat cj as a human being, a human being with gifts that i haven't got. to treat him like a decent person, to show int

mr mitsotakis said the people had given his party a mandate for a four—year government.t opposition syriza party — led by alexis tsipras — with just 20% of the vote. under a complicated greek electoral system, he will need to face the people again injuly if he hopes to achieve an absolute majority. 0ur europe correspondent nick beake has more from athens. this has been a very good night for prime minister mitsotakis. the changes to the electoral system that he inherited meant it was always going to be very difficult to win an outright majority, although he has come very close to doing that. in the past few hours, he said that the greek people have given him a mandate to keep on governing this country. the pollsters here massively underestimated the level of support for him, but this has been a government that's been heavily criticised over the past few years. there was the handling of that awful train crash a few months ago, slso what people described as greece's watergate scandal, with politicians and journalists being spied on. but the bottom line here is that lots of

mr mitsotakis told the nation that only he could be trusted to steer the greek economy forward and consolidatereeks appear to have responded positively — and more than expected. i spoke to our europe correspondent nick beake to find out what president mitsotakis has been saying. he's has been saying. been speaking in the last two minutes talking about a political earthquake here tonight. they underestimated his appeal. a clear mandate to govern for another four years that he will be able to continue the job, as years that he will be able to continue thejob, as it years that he will be able to continue the job, as it were. years that he will be able to continue thejob, as it were. for years in power, and now he is really appealing to the nation to keep him in power. it's not quite as easy as that, as we have been hearing in the last few minutes or so, but certainly he says he's got the credibility to go to the people, it would seem, in a few weeks' time for this second vote, and the system, as we have been hearing, changes yet again. with these bonus being awarded to a party, you would imagine

yeah, that is absolutely the case because the prime minister here, mr mitsotakis, is waking up very happy party did much better than the pollsters predicted. and also, they said the opposition party would do much better. as it turned out support for syriza, the left—wing party, ebbed away. why is that? it seems the economy has been right at the heart of these. and it is quite a confusing picture because basically increase the economy is growing once again. remember all those years of eu bailouts of cuts to spending, high unemployment. that has been getting better. the picture has been getting better. the picture has been getting better. the picture has been improving. but when we went to the shops in the capital, athens, and the north of the country, people said they were not feeling it when they go on buy the weekly shop. the money does not go as far as it used to. that is something many people can identify with. it looks like there will be another vote in a month. the prime minister is looking to get an outright majority under a new system that time around. thank ou ve new system that t
