hold on to power for long because people were concerned that most of the members are from the ruling party which was bashir is a party and there are concerns that more or less the courts in the same thing in fact after the liberation yesterday that president bashir was no longer president and that the military council was in charge people were saying that they replaced the one end of the coin with the other end of the point so they're saying that the chance that you could hear in the streets was one fee for one place with another one figure replaced with another from the same basket so he seemed to be wanting to strike a conciliatory tone saying that most of the members of this council that will be steering the country forward will be civilians will be from various political parties there he will be opening up dialogue with the political representatives of the country and as you said he said that there are no solutions to the economic crisis but he's going to leave that to the political parties to members that will represent the military council and their job is to keep safety security and

been announced yet but what we have had from the electorial board until now tells us that the ruling party and his supporters the nationalist party lost in the because the major cities in turkey in despair and now the stumble is at stake because it's so far both sides both the opposition and the ruling party side have announced a victory however the higher electorial board has stopped sharing data sharing information so so far we don't know who is the victor in istanbul the most crowded city of turkey with a fifty plus million population and at base ten point five million voters and also istanbul is the heart of business history and commerce and tricky but whoever wins a stumble either whether it is the ruling party candidate the former prime minister been through more the opposition candidates. it's going to be a narrow cots and according to the results so far present tacked on television about going to speeches after the main is after the big cities results were announced and he sounded like he has accepted the laws in ancora and is near but he added that even though even if the ruling p

his results and he was taken in his votes were taken back so and the anchor i can date for the ruling party was not that much welcomed even among our party members either of course. since uncle roy is the capitol it is very important it is one of the biggest cities it is not as big as a stumble and it is not such a commercial and business center opening to the world but it's the heart of diplomacy it's the core of the politics and turkey and presence add on seem to have accepted the result in ankara because the polls as i said were also suggesting this result even the margin between the two candidates were almost it's almost similar to what has been suggested by the polls before but of course and this is a disappointment for the ruling party because the heart of the politics is here all the ministries are here even though even though ankara i'm going to spell it is not that big game doesn't have that big importance as a stumble or of course it is important but here we see that the rule is the voters turkish waters have given a message to the ruling party over all across turkey the ruling pa

well it is very it is a very very important loss for the ruling party especially if it's confirmed that they lost in a stumble as well first of all uncle roy is the capital and. you control the bridge over here but more important than you stumble has been the heart of the ruling party because prisons are done also began his political career as the mayor of istanbul he has a his sporty and his predecessors have held helm on these two cities almost a quarter century so also talking about a stumble it is the heart of the business of tourism it is the heart of transportation sixty million people ten point five are voters the most educated people live in the cities but of course these two cities were not the only laws for the ruling party but also cities like on tahlia the top tourism destination madsen. and some other cities had a significant importance as well when we add up these cities by the ruling out party they are equal they mean the sentry's is the country's national income when you look from this perspective it is a blow for the ruling party even though they have the majority acros

they were protesting not just the president, but his regime and ruling party as well.thet want anyone ruling party and former regime to be involved in leading the country to its transitional period. that is one thing that sets him apart from the other person. that iso affiliation known to the people and the public. he does not have a tainted reputation like his two predecessors. , ande are feeling that people on the streets are saying we have managed to doo it, to bring in someone who is not part of the old regime, somebody who is not tainted, who may be able to represent us, but for us to know that person is the right person, we will have to wait to listen to the political parties and the reaction. we will have to listen to the sudanese professional association as well, the body spearheading the protests and demonstrations, and has played a big role in bringing down the president and his successor, who lasted for 24 hours. >> the movement has been remarkable for the way it has been so widespread in the country. but you were mentioning, the point you were making about

bad actors but these people are effectively part of the campaign apparatus particularly of the ruling party so it becomes very difficult for social media companies to actually do this because because parties are using at the top and they're in power right now in fact i didn't i just to quickly my good at this point what i've been seeing just adding to this point that it was a feat we'll even though it was up in the district in twenty four into september. you want to. write it that led to the going to get a patient that this party coming to power so just adding to what i said it started with oh. i had to do that which was i had i had just talked to squeeze in just in the last minute of the show i had. some of the big news conversations also problematic as well as what the others were saying that a large part of this comes from the parties themselves and the danger of making it about big news is that the government is now suggesting that what's up for example preexistent cripps and so even the conversation around it is giving the government a lever to suggest less privacy for people so in som

there's only one thing the ruling party expects and this is to a no this election and have a rerun i strongly oppose that this election's been won there are zero doubts or hesitations over the results and. using istanbul to the opposition would be a blow for president. he launched his political career was the city's mayor in the nine hundred ninety s. but people's concerns about the government's handling of the economy appear to have been reflected in the results of the national currency the lira has plunged nearly thirty percent in recent months inflation has risen and turkey is now in recession the ruling party was so confident that it would win here in istanbul that the morning after the election these giant poster sprang up across the city thanking people for their support. but those tanks may have been private sure the park ouches era is double. we go now to venezuela where a u.s. military official is saying that the armed forces are ready to move in on the country admiral craig father told a us magazine that intervention might be needed if sanctions fail to force president nico

of showing the public that they are very keen on trying to eradicate any traces of the former ruling party and the ruling government so people are now waiting not for any traces of accountability that they're promising but to see if those sides will actually reach a transitional government there saying that that is that the accountability and auditing is the job of a transitional government that is independent and has nothing to do with the military council or in khartoum heba thank you. now spain's governing socialists picked up the most seats in sunday's elections because nearly all the votes counted it looks like they won't have enough for an out white majority for the first time a far right parties to enter parliament some of the reports now from madrid. a new day for spanish politics but no certainty over what kind of government will come out of sunday's election spaniards may have turned out in force to vote in one of the most divisive elections but it was the socialists who came out on top but i mean i think it's a good result and honestly i didn't expected i thought the right wing

in the ruling party the the acting head of the ruling party is also wanted as well as other officials so they're saying that these people should be held accountable for the crimes that they have been charged with and they've also been asking the mandate that people who have been also accused of embezzlement corruption and ruining sudan as they put it should be held accountable so what they're saying is that this military council is still very much part of the old regime our technology is part of the ruling party he's has been incident in bashir of government he continues to represent largely what the ruling party is in terms of military so people are not happy with that the sudanese professional association has been asking for a civilian room right now a military council will be taking over sudan for the next two years that's not what they've been asking for but they have been spear spearheading that the process that the sudanese professional association have been the ones organizing the schedule organizing the calls and everything that had to do with the protests so it's not clear ho

frustration and the anger could is a very palpable you can feel it and they're saying that the ruling party has not really gone from power they said that when they started the protests in december it was not only bashir that they wanted on they also wanted members of the ruling party and members of the regime and they wanted to see a civilian transitional independent council that has nothing to do with bashir and his ruling party and the region over the past couple of hours but we've also been getting some comments as the the political sphere and people that occupy that space continue to react to the events of the last few days what's what's your reading of what they've been saying. well some political parties have completely rejected the military takeover they're saying that it's false sure it's from the demands of the people that civilians political parties independent political parties that have nothing to do with the previous regime and that government should be taking the lead in this transitional period they're saying that they will not join hands by the fact that the military council

the acting head of the ruling party who like president bashir is also wanted by the international criminal courts have been arrested by the military were still waiting for that announcement from the military we don't know what they are going to say but we do know that there are a lot of military trucks out on the streets the streets most of the main roads leading to the army h.q. and around hold some have been blocked by the military but thousands are pouring in in front of the army h.q. they say that the army has taken over and this is a coup and this is where they have been waiting for but also let's remember that the sudanese professional associations which have been taking the lead in calling for protests and demanding a change of governance and wish you to step down have said that they will not accept a military government for a transition period they just want a civilian government no military official so it's not clear what we should be expecting in the next few hours and even if the army and now says that bashir is term is over if the protests on the streets will end here

split the country that was once africa's largest country and they blamed him for that and his ruling party so obviously for them that was one of the reasons why president bashir had to go but really besides that people have been saying that for thirty years they've known no one else but president bashir they only know his government they feel like he's been lying to them and that he has not been managing the country well and of course have been accusing his government of corruption so really the deciding point could be anywhere but the most significant point will be in december twenty eighth when people came out to the streets and sort of protesting and has the have not stopped up until today a tree and what do you think the chances are that these protests despite the fact that the defense minister the vice president said that there would be a curfew in operation from ten nights until four in the morning do you think these process people are going to defy that curfew of the protests will continue. while the people already have tested the military over the past five days and they've realize
