has one in the past has lost —— socialist party. the future has one in the past has lost -- socialist have a familiar face with us. jeremy thomson—cook, chief economist at worldfirst joins me now. it's nice to see you. good morning. give us your take on what is ahead. in terms of what they have to do, the economy is going to be up there, isn't it? he knows what he should have to do, spain has typically been a 2—party system, a lot of countries are, but spain hasn't had a coalition government for a0 years. putting together a coalition that can move together and work together for the betterment of the spanish economy may prove difficult and probably won't happen until after the european elections take place in may. eight so this is new territory after what many would argue, four yea rs of after what many would argue, four years of political turmoil, you know the catalan independence movement is all a part of that. but as you say, he has been in position for nine months, but he had to call a snap election because he couldn't get his budget through. what are the real issues? the real issu

will bea things that the socialist party will be a defender of a. iglesias, secretary general of the left wing populist party podemos said his party would be willing to enter talks with the socialist party with an aim of working a left—wing coalition government. translation: we would like to have habit a better result but this is a sufficient to achieve our aims. 0ur aim is to stop the right and the far right and the second aim is to build a left leaning coalition government. we have two lead and have a lot of meetings and create a government plan and were going to carry out the mandate given to us so that we can have a left government coalition government of spain and put in policies to protect social issues. the people of sri lanka have been marking a week since the bomb attacks which claimed the lives of at least 250 people on easter sunday. the attackers were islamist extremists —— who targeted christian worshippers in church services as well as people in some of colombo's biggest hotels. this evening, the sri lankan government announced that fr

as the clear cut winner in his country's general election his socialist party increased the number of seats in parliament but how long will mr sanchez keep smiling spain has no tradition of coalition governments but it appears mr sanchez is socialist will have to find a partner or maybe call another election and for the first time since the end of the franco dictatorship voters have put a far right party in parliament tonight the leader of that party is betting he'll be the politician smiling last. this is the day. the socialist party has won the general election. and with that the future has won and the past has lost. well it's a change for the better as it was that especially because the socialist will have. and not the center right together with the far right system itself are right i guess fanatics we must reflect on what is going on with this drift of extreme right in europe and the world. that we're not extremists we're not fanatics we're not the extreme right or anything like that saying things that are common sense for many spaniards we keep saying that whoever into spain ille

voted against and then when after the motion of no confidence the socialist party b it came into power they actually included and using that same budget so funnily enough what they're doing in terms of infrastructure in terms of investment is what the popular party was doing and more importantly as the report was saying what they have stopped is the investment in five g. in four g. i think what's that. got amended by the jet just just briefly let me get to that point of high unemployment because spain does have grabbed this predicted grades for this year of two point two percent that's not too bad why does it not work in order to create jobs. well it is i mean spain has been creating five hundred thousand jobs a year. on employment has been slashed since two thousand and twelve and we need to do more but we need to do more correctly work the socialist government has done at the beginning of this year is to massively increase taxes to job creators and massively put burdens to job creation. they have slashed. to employment they have slashed the age to create jobs for women and for.

the socialists will need along with them most of course the anti austerity party what they will need the support of the cutline independents parties. independents parties to form a government but it's been a terrible night for the right wing bloc. just coming to to you the socialist party headquarters sima won the most votes so is everybody happy there. were people are really happy they're cheering behind me you might hear that actually when i got here first at eight o'clock this evening there were the first exit polls coming out predicting delete of the socialists then we will of course as we optimistic they were saying we really hope this is what the results will be like and for the for the night went on actually you could just feel how does britain fell from their shoulders and everybody was just really happy and chanting they were chanting slogans in front of the headquarters behind me i talked to one lady who said you know the first time i have it was in one thousand nine hundred seventy seven so just a couple of years after the franco dictatorship there had come to an end she s

by contrast, the winners, pedro sanchez and the socialist party, will continue to lead this country, left—wing and regional parties. the exact shape of the new administration may take weeks to decide. james reynolds, bbc news, madrid. i think that is a valid point, don't hold your breath for a quick announcement for the coalition. at the end of next month there are municipal, european and regional elections. no party will want to reveal its hand in doing deals with potential political enemies and upset their core supporters before those elections. you're probably looking at a coalition in early june. talks will resume between the government and labour today, aimed at breaking the brexit deadlock. among those taking part will be the chancellor, philip hammond, and labour's shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell. it comes asjeremy corbyn is facing more pressure to commit his party to a referendum on any brexit deal. earlier, our assistant political editor, norman smith, spoke to me about whether these brexit talks will end the political deadlock. we just seem to be drifting rather aimlessly

so was germany's socialist party socialist? the founders thought so because they called themselves socialists. they certainly acted like socialists. germany's socialist party's foundational 25-point platform stated in part, plank 13, quote, we demand the nationalization of all previous associated industries, trusts. plank 14, quote, we demand a division of profits of all heavy industries. plank 16, quote, we demand the immediate commune i willization of all warehouses. we demand free exappropriation of land for public utility. communization. land seize your without compensation. nationalization, ownership of government industry. those are all socialist policies. further, the german socialist party hated capitalism and free enterprise. nazi propaganda posters stated, quote, the maintenance of a rotten industrial system has nothing to do with nationalism. i can love germany and hate capitalism. end quote. nazi propaganda minister joseph gerbel wrote that, quote, in the final analysis it would be better for us to go down with bull

i know i'm maryam namazie and london a quick look at the top stories this hour spain's socialist party appears on track to win the most votes in sunday's election with seventy five percent of the ballots now counted so far there is no clear majority for either left or right wing parties but the vox party is that to become the first far right to sit in spain's parliament since one thousand nine hundred two and voter turnout was close to record highs at seventy five percent so i go has more from the vox parties had abrasions and the dread. the socialist party is ahead with the most votes still not enough to have a complete majority here but the big losers of the nights are the socialist parties traditional competitors the right wing people's party they have been hemorrhaging votes so far really quite astonishing how they have been affected by this most the months of space to have gone to the citizens party a center right party and of course vox study supporters of very happy with that result so far further talks between sudanese opposition groups in the military have been postponed until

is presumed at this point given the polls that it will be the socialist party that they have to that make a deal would all try to club together some kind of deal with. also with catalan regional parties as well they are going to be wanting to demand something back so it would possibly put the socialist party in quite an awkward position they will have to give on certain issues like catalonia and so that would be quite tough further talks between sudanese opposition groups in the military have been postponed until monday the two sides have been due to meet again on sunday after announcing the formation of a joint council late on saturday night it will leave the country until elections are eventually held protesters hope that will pave the way for civilian government . libya's u.n. recognized government has warned france to stop dealing with warlord holy fafsa after us forces continue to lay siege to the capital tripoli and as strike by one of his helicopters killed four civilians on saturday his advances left more than two hundred eighty people dead. residents in colombo held a vigil t

. >> the socialist party has won the general election, and with it, the future has one in the past hasost -- won and the past has lost. [applause] i firstly, from the heart, would like to thank the more than 700 million spaniards that gave us their vote and trusted the socialist party to lead the country for the next four years. manus: joining us now from the front of the spanish congress is annmarie hordern. great to see you. sanchez comes out on top. now his got to lean into the catalan separatists. he's within smelling distance of forming a substantial government. annmarie: yes, that's right, and that is likely what we're going to be seeing in the next few days and coming of him trying to form this government. he's known as the great survivor in spain over the course of his political career. really, his two options to form a government, one would be clear-cut. many investors say this would be a stable government. as you say, he does a deal with pay most, but they don't have enough numbers. they're going to have to reach of the catalonian's to form a government. this would be a gover

he said spineless was for one clearly that this socialist party the bands is country. so far minister pedro sanchez they need a socialist workers party kind in victory in this election with nearly one hundred percent of the votes counted ninety seven percent of the votes counted and it looks as though the socialists are the victors this evening bought they will now have to enter negotiations in order to build a coalition so that they can govern because they are short of an overall majority jonah how is following all these developments for us from barcelona in general i suppose now the hard work really begins here. yes absolutely socialist delighted as you are looking at. they were expected to be the big winners for the. those not winning enough of a majority enough seats to form a majority on their own worth remembering as you look at those pictures of the other big story of the night which is the emergence onto the national political stage of the fox the far right nationalist party the first far right force in parliament in the grid since the death of general franco fo

different possibilities either they team up with separatist party smaller parties or this speculation that he has so read the socialist might actually. be as he had on his party which is the market liberal party that's kind of unexpected they have more than fifty seats and with them piers so he would have a majority in parliament what's more at the today there were also senate elections for the lower house of parliament now the senate is maybe not as important but the senate can block laws so the year p.s.a.t. party won half of the seats there which means everything they are able to form a government with different problems whatever possibly it might be and they could really given this country and this is up to a great great nice cool people here especially for the people behind me. and we're looking now. pictures of peter sanchez who was looking very happy. he's going to have a lot of work ahead however. the coalition talks that will inevitably take place how long are they going to last. hour how i'm sorry could you how long are they going to last that the party of sorry it's very loud. the coalition talks will take

similarly you have the spokesperson of the french socialist party also extending congratulations and saying she really hopes that this will be an inspiration and a sign o of hope -- not only for the french socialist party but for e europn left wing parties looking ahead to the european e elections andt ththend of may. so positive reactions coming from french socialist that said there are some experts who have said kind of i guess. words of warnining if youou wil- that socialist did well by mobilizing against right wing extremism which has a very specific historical meaning in spain the mainstream conservatives did badly b becaue theyey chase the far r right voo kind of saying that it's important thahat. left w wing parties acrcross eue leararn frorom that if they'ree hopingng to repeat the successss that the spaninish socialist pay sasaw and i in the future -- soe i haveve a few reactctions just wanted to kind of look at how a regular spanish citizens purse thieves -- ththe electitions -- especially in the signinificance for them in terms of far right box having been less successful

that's -- they've got a significant amount of votes, but yesterday listening to the crowds for the socialist partymary, a lot of people were saying no to rivera. rivera's the leader of citizens party. people do not want to see really sanchez supporting citizens. and in fact, citizens have said -- citizens party said they do not want an alliance with the main party, socialist party. so no doubt i think it's fair to say that the socialists will looking at going to the left. what we have right here is a very fractured political landscape. in part, rosemary, because of vox, that populist far-right party that gained 24 seats. the first far-right party to gain seats in spanish elections since 1975, since the death of the dictator francisco franco. this is a big gain for them. they did not do as well as many thought, but significant since 2006. today they have in almost 10% of the seats. so it's quite a significant gain for them. a very fractured political system because of vox. >> how likely is this forming a government coalition going to take because it's never been done before and you talk about this

what he has managed to do is increase the number of seats his socialist party has in parliament a by around 50% one of the biggest lose injuries is the party behind me, popular. they are in half very stinging. what happens next is i had a chance to talk to the trade minister and i asked her whether she thought the uncertainty would be over and whether there would be the stability that they hoped for. >> without a doubt, what businesses need is stability and the steady government that has the results with 120 seats in congress we can't keep going back to the polls in everytwo years. as i mentioned, this is a bretd of fresh air but also of course generating opportunities we will need time to analyze the results and work out what the best government will be for the country. i think we definitely have the capacity with 120 seats to bring the best things needed spain does need stability. the sooner we have the government bond, the better we can spend and the sooner we can keep moving forward with the policies we have started working on over the last two monkts. these policies needed final

katie silver is at the headquaters of pedro sanchez‘s socialist party in madrid. big windfall for the winners but also a windfall for vox, the hard right party but the biggest losers in this election, the popular party. it is to be centre—right but they have lost a lot of power in this kind of collision to the right they have made. here on the other hand, we are seeing many celebrations. three of the celebrated are david, ruben and irma. i'm loving the way you are carrying your flags. why is this a big celebration for you? because we thought vox was going to get more votes and we are happy because we know spain has chosen, human rights has chosen, political relations have chosen. she feels that the hard right has made them feel like they are inferior. the left ear are feeling a celebration. perhaps the damage caused by the introduction and the seeming popularity of vox wasn't as bad as they had potentially predicted. and you can keep up to date with the post election coalition talks on our website — you'll also find a feature on whether pedro sanchez will be able t

the socialist party leader pederast sanchez had explicitly pitched his party to voters as the best way to stop the far right. the spaniards have sent a very clear message to europe and to the world it is possible to win the against reactionaries and authoritarianism with progressive proposals. but sanchez faces an uphill battle forming a ruling coalition the far right party vox may not have won but it still had a record night this election marks the first time a far right party has gained seats in the spanish parliament since the days of general franco. restore so no three c.p.o. this is only the beginning you know more so not a complete told you i aim was to reach out and that's exactly what we have done you know that you know novels that if we have a voice in parliament we can now say loud and clear to the entire country that folks has come to stay in the mainstream conservative people's party suffered big losses it was their worst election to date a sign that the polarization that has affected politics across europe has come to spain possibly for a long time to come. let's bring in

by contrast, the winners, pedro sanchez and the socialist party, will continue to lead this country, with a number of smaller left—wing and regional parties. the exact shape of the new administration may take weeks to decide. james reynolds, bbc news, madrid. so, relief for the socialists, as james was reporting, there, but when it comes to the catalan crisis, this has not gone away. pedro sanchez will be enjoying the excitement of winning this election, because when you think about his recent history, he was a socialist leader who led his party a few years ago to their worst defeat ever. in fact, they kicked him out and he spent a year travelling around the country on a listening tour, before coming back in and calling the vote of no—confidence in mariano rajoy. but as i say, the catalan crisis has not gone away. 0ne imagines he will try to do deals with the catalans and will try to talk them into some kind of solution. but bear this in mind, quim torra, who is now in charge of the catalan parliament, could well push for another vote on having an independence referendum, and bear in
