The sounds of victory across india people have gathered to celebrate the leader of the hindu nationalist beach a p party there and try modi already during the last hours of the vote count it was clear that the current Prime Ministers party would emerge as the winner of the countrywide general elections not only modi there to be an be to be there because the real people a friend of the democracy has done an honest government has gone and this has proved does he can bring across all cost all the region all agreed lines i am supporting mr libby if he. Likes. To be used to hear all this so much a change in the right. Industry will elections took place over the last 6 weeks its the largest democratic ballots in the world after reports about some election tampering the opposition asked for a recount on very thick ation of the results with paper records of the votes International Observers say the election was though largely free and fair and the ruling party says to opposition claims are just a distraction modi campaigned hard to keep the commanding maturity he won in 2014 has promised better incomes for farmers and more Infrastructure Spending but question marks remain over india slowing Economic Growth a modest attitude towards the countrys 200000000 muslims for no bodies many supporters celebrating 5 more years of his leadership so lets join the misha just throw in the deli welcome in the mission mode is already claimed victory and it looks like the Celebration Party is just getting started. Thats absolutely right more the highs killing the retreat of the Prime Minister has been given the mandate for another 5 year term now of course the results only about 30 percent in but the leaves look pretty reliable that the ruling party agenda thought parties not only one to win more seats on thats all and its actually going to win more seats as part of the Overall Alliance as worth almost claiming 2 thirds of the house on the streets off delhi there were thousands of people who poured out dancing chanting playing the drums im celebrating the victory off in the interim or the he is seen as the i can that represents the party this week tree is expressed leaving actually rooted to the Prime Minister in even during his speech he was continually interrupted by fans by supporters chanting more the more the all across delhi also we have seen all stars go up within the last few hours with images of the Prime Minister saying thank you waters thank you for your blessings thank you for supporting a new india so definitely the part get on the party jubilant right now they made history in 2014 and they seem to have improved the scoring 2019 so was the election. Campaign issues or was this all about modi. Well when it comes to Campaign Issues that the partridge on top arche put out there i would like to compare that to the opposition which had several schemes that are proposed in this manifesto it spoke about minimum income it spoke about a separate budget for farmers but none of that is important right now the opposition is entirely decimated and while the garbage on the party highlighted its achievements its the the what it claimed was just achievements the mean plank was nationalism there was a standoff between india and pakistan earlier this year though the Prime Minister was seen as having taken Decisive Action by carrying out airstrikes according to india and this actually shored up his support all across the country the Prime Minister in rallies said award for the b. Is award for the Prime Minister directly so even bending many people on the field who were not that much in favor of the b. G. P. Candidate they still wanted to watch for the lotus the symbol of the g. O. P. Simply to support the Prime Minister now in the victory speech that he just made he has tanked the people of the youth the bomb was for of parts of the population which are actually seen as critical of him but clearly that hasnt really come true and the Prime Minister has repeatedly emphasized that this is a victory for india he tweeted about this hes talked about this in his speech he has said this is not about a Political Party this is not about one man this is a victory for india almost equating himself to the country to the good of the whole country but it doesnt look like that would involve creation of groups so the motives for she was very much your own the way the what about the Congress Party your brother gandhi has lost his from the seat of his great dentistry appears to be very much on the decline. Well on the decline would be putting it my evenly im afraid it looks like your so far the congress has put out the gandhi the president of the congress has put out a statement conceding the family see that you mention that has been lost but a proper concession should be expected just a bit later this evening now that congress while it went all out at least by the looks of it on the campaign trail criticizing this government for being divisive for not delivering on its promises for being corrupt none of these allegations seem to have stuck this government to this spot the itself the International Congress and the opposition has barely managed to shore up its currency chair that our questions are being read its did they can even lead the opposition and even the regional parties if they expected to play an Important Role in the selection the still quite keen weak us would eventually have been vibe tote the ball hard on the party not only doesnt need the regional parties to agree with them they barely even need that advice because right now it looks like theyre going to push past 300 seats theyre going to actually increase their daddy this individually and they have a coalition to back them up which will make it very simple for them to leave the country for the next 5 years so its time definitely faulting new National Congress to introspect some are saying the party is actually dead because of the kind of results that have come out the leadership will have to introspect the entire opposition will have to introspect about what exactly went wrong not only in this campaign but over the last few years why were they able to where why would they absolutely unable to raise anti incumbency sentiment against time and somewhere in the movie to do detail because for the rich just wrote delhi thank you so. Now to some of the other stories making news around the world coms return to the indonesias capital jakarta following deadly clashes between police and supporters of defeated president ial candidates proposal be on top of the former general called on his supporters to go home and announce that he would launch a legal challenge against president yoko with dodos reelections.

Over the next 4 days 400000000 people will have the opportunity to vote in elections for the European Parliament the netherlands open the voting today 1st dutch voters heading to the ballot boxes at midnight voting comes a support piece searching for populist and nationalist who want to rein in the European Unions powers its also under way in the u. K. On more than half the country didnt want to participate in the 1st place and the politicians are still and govt in political turmoil over brags it is Prime Minister theresa may is once again fighting to keep her job r t w our correspondent barbara faisal is at a polling station in london a welcome barbara whats the mood there how do people feel about these elections happening atoll given that the country was supposed to be out of the block by now. As you might expect filled the mood is rather downbeat because it is quite an absurd situation actually 60 years who had fought so hard and so long. As we remember on the 29th of march of this year which is long past they are really furious about still being in and being forced to fight it titled Election Campaign which the new founded bricks and party under nigel for did quite fiercely and the remain news on the other hand who had hoped for a 2nd referendum and being able to overturn the bricks that wrote from 2016 they sort of dont even see that referendum near and so they come out in the hope that they somehow can impress the government and still force that 2nd referendum but those there hopes at the moment nobody knows when they and if they will come true breakfast in the future and a 2nd referendum as well so thats the politicians what about voters a very very polarized. Voters are extremely polarized and we have these 2 camps that i just described the franks and cheers who seem to even gather and gain in intensity and sort of gain in ferocity in a way off their convictions and theyre really not to be in the mood anymore to hear any argument from the other side and you have to remain whos on the on the other hand who seem to be a bit desperate actually these days because they might have the feeling that after all the country will be dragged out of the European Union whether theres still a majority for this are not really in britain nobody knows the polls dont say and these 22 camps really cant talk to each other anymore so people are really theres a lot of feeling of aggression and a lot of hatred in the political arena look at social media sort of shows that clearly and people just dont talk to each other anymore and the Ruling Conservative Party that theyre projected to be likely to take to take a beating they actually bothered about this result. Yeah they would be shamefaced really because the polls say they might end up in 5th place behind that breaks that party behind the liberal democrats who are being reserved wrecked it by this European Election behind labor and the greens i mean really how bad can it bat get and the point is that treason made for her this might be another nail in her political coughing up because this morning it looked as if her own party would drive her out of office very quickly maybe even this friday now shes still clinging on by her nails the white results next monday off the European Election might just give the final push and actually shove her out of office her days in number 10 downing street definitely number 2 i dont know why the picture barbara very says a growing. Euro skepticism across the bloc not just a in britain very sick feeling that institutions are too far removed from peoples lives to what every piece will be elected across this next few days to actually have the power to solve voters problems. And the way they have more powers than many people know about because they do of course vote on a lot of European Elections take just Climate Policies and you need europe for that because unless all countries do it together it will not be effect effective however people simply dont really know how this works and also it just has to do was your political basic beliefs do you believe in the National State as the one all and end all or do you believe that countries should Work Together closely and sort of try to solve their problems together those are the 2 camps for exit and remaining we see this in britain now it has worked out how has split the country and for the m p m e ps in brussels it is really quite impossible to solve that problem obviously in london thank you. Youre a big idea whats become of it and what we would look like somebody. Gets ready for an indepth look at the European Election. The key issues for european voters and how will the European Election back to the rest of the. Expert discussion comprehensive reports voters to. The European Elections on may 26th w. Bank shares are trading up and they were surprised ever so there was little to celebrate todays i mean all Shareholders Meeting in frankfurt the dire news im going to take action against the bank and the failed merger with a german competitor and Investor Confidence is at an all time low. Georgia Bank Shareholders are unhappy. The share price has plunged into the cellar it has been trading slightly above 6. 00 euros 0. 40 thats its lowest level in more than 45 years and shareholders are losing patience. A lot of things went wrong at Deutsche Bank in recent years i hope they can get back into shape. And we didnt if. The expectation is that something fundamental changes something at the court house and i think. She would take a seat and step down from his position Supervisory Board chairman powell and c. E. O. Christian thieving are blamed by shareholders for the bands disastrous performance in recent months some large shareholder groups want to withhold giving official approval to the board that would be a slap in the face the c. E. O. Says that would be completely unjustified. The torch of bunk. And again we have brought Deutsche Bank back into the black we havent reached our goal is. What you go on we now have the fundamentals for sustainably profitable back up and back but theres a lot of work to be done the Investment Banking unit is enormous and it hardly makes a profit and Deutsche Bank faces lawsuits for allegedly Money Laundering and interest manipulation that costs money and hurts the banks reputation. Celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of germanys postwar constitution have begun in the capital known here as the basic law it came into effect on this day 949. 00 and its a vision of the alive powers is now considered the foundation of german democracy official festivities are being mocked in front of the brandenburg gate. Attending those that celebrations german president frank. Noted that his countrymen know too little about this hugely important document so all this week at e. W. Has been looking at have people translate the basic law into everyday reality this time we focus on the guarantee of freedom of expression he met with an armored share one who is originally from iraq to see how he uses his rights to say what he wants and to provoke. When its high left my country because of freedom of expression and it was always and still is very important to me to be able to express my opinion. Ahmed had to flee his home in iraq because he wouldnt shut up in germany is protected by the constitution. The arabic word im a teacher is care fear infidel the 20 year old is an atheist and he talks openly about his opinions on faith and other matters sometimes he wants to provoke here at a palestinian march in germany hes carrying a poster of 2 kissing men. Because theres pushing and shoving the Police Officer steps in to prevent violence i know that. Hes not welcome. There. Are many muslims its a to boot and sometimes you have to be provocative and cross boundaries in order to change something in society busts and. And im from a religious family there were certain rules about what could and couldnt do it was somehow clear to everyone that you couldnt be different. And you couldnt think differently. At one point i thought it had to be possible to say that you were no longer a believer without being punished. And then i decided to do it for myself. So. It was 5 days after my 15th birthday when my father suddenly went to the police so he came back with 3 Police Officers they beat me in front of my parents. Then they locked me in a room for hours they tortured me with cables and electric shocks. And i think. This is. A lesson that was the day i left iraq because we took this picture at night with a photographer with. At 1st i didnt want to tell my story in germany. To avoid more conflicts and so on. But at the same time i knew that if you express your opinion in europe the states will protect you. Ahmed said muslims in germany abuse and threaten him when he openly expresses his opinions but here unlike in iraq hes protected by the police. Force a lot to be here and i wont let anyone here tell me how to live and what im allowed to do. Especially what im allowed to say. I am free. And. If you ever visit hong kong you are likely to encounter its the citys favorite pastime played on the streets and in gambling rooms gave me so much a part of the citys identity officials declared it part of hong kongs Cultural Heritage but the games decline began almost as soon as the government made that announcement todays youngsters prefer their cell phones and video games which of course eats into mahjong time and into some traditional crafts. A master craftsman at work. King is one of hong kongs last remaining mahjong covers. In his tidy store here in graves every tall by hand and a normally in an era of mass produced plastic. When you look closely you can see each handmade mahjong tile is different its because i caught them one after another completing the one by one instead of using a mole and. Then today. The 65 year old has spent decades honing his skills hes mahjong said start at 350. 00 euros thats 10 times the price of machine made toils even so he still struggles to make a living. In a good idea now there are only one or 2 stores in the area and business is poor is because the Younger Generation doesnt play much on that often even if they do play it they play on their phones. But some young people still like it hands on here at hong kongs Chinese University members of the mud junk society meet every wednesday. The game has been played like this for more than a century the engravings edged into asias cultural bedrock. I think the hand. Is a form of art something to appreciate and collect almost too precious to play with. For. Generations king wants to keep that tradition alive he hosts workshops to share his passion for carving its a steep learning curve for these casual students. The menu that. You have to pay close attention to how to exert your strength. How to make a presentable and perfect line. I even have to Pay Attention to my own posture. On one seat you know that he weighed it with one of these. The intense skill it takes. Just a few strokes to get something so beautiful out of it. Struck by a stroke king is making sure that not john stays in hong kong and wherever possible stays handmade.
