one of them told me even before i cast my vote, i know president sisi is going to win, so my vote isthat under the current regime, which is going to continue for the next four years, we do not have a chance to operate, really, because the president does not seem to be interested in politics or in party life at all. so, they are pretty concerned that the restrictions that they witnessed over the past four years are going to continue. they say that many of the party members are being jailed for a word they say on social media and that they have no chance at all to express themselves peacefully in the street. for more than 15 years, brazil has been ruled by the left. now with elections later in the year, the political balance is swinging to the right. it's a shift from when former president lula da silva rose to power promising change, but now the country's most loved politician has been charged with corruption and is facing 12 years in prison. his successor, dilma rousseff, was impeached. there have been damaging times for the left. our south america correspondent katy watson has more.

sisi's government allowed only one other candidate to run, an ardent sisi supporter, while other candidates were disquaualified or arrested. one leading opposition figure, abdel moneim aboul fotouh, was carjacked and beaten on a cairo street in january ahead of the election. on monday, the white house said president trump called president sisi to congratulate him on his victory. human rights groups say that since sisi came to power in a 2013 coup, his government has arrested 60,0,000 activists, deployed systematic torture, and tried thousands of civilians in military courts, while handing down hundreds of death sentences. in the philippines, thousands of residents of marawi have been allowed to search through the ruins ofof their former hohomes after the e governrnment granted themem short-term m access to te area for the first time since the government declared victory last october in its months-long battle to dislodge isis-allied militants in the southern city. the fighting laid waste to much of the southern city and killed nearly 1200 people. this is marawi residenent zaman amron speakin

you guys were talking about sisi before i came on.nly moving object in the arab world. the arab world is largely dysfunctional and its dysfunctionality has created situation that between tehran and tel aviv there's only soft tissue. there's no power authority there at all so do we want to fill that vacuum? do we hope the sunnis will get their act together? to me, willie, the most important thing that mohammad bin salman is doing and talking about doing is bringing saudi islam which is the most important islam because mecca and medina, the two holiest cities of islam, are located in saudi arabia, back to a moderate place. that ice his stated goal, he's made concrete steps doing that at home. now, when you think, willie, how much we have spent as a country since 9/11 combatting radical islam, $2 trillion, $3 trillion. i don't know what the number is. the fact that we may have -- underline that three times -- a saudi leader coming in ready to bring islam back to the center, he met with a cob tick leader when he was in egypt. he met with
