For the rest of the country theyve been watching very closely particularly because the has been using the states the economic model of development here and his governance here as reason for him to be the leader of the whole country so losing here would have meant that if estate doesnt have confidence in him the rest of the country should have confidence in him but its also because this is seen as a stage for the twenty nineteen National Elections gandhis leading the Congress Party recently which. President who is being closely watched also to see if hes a worthy leader of the party in whether he is able to maintain the campaign he lead here throughout the rest of the country in the coming weeks and months eight other states are going to go to election so the rest of the country is watching closely prime because this would mean our this would tell them what kind of selection or what kind of fight is up in the polls for this country right to make a holler my friend gets right to here thank you.

Really in the spirit so high peaceful and not discouraged we are not afraid of the tourists we will be attending go places of worship. And Security Council that later on monday on a draft resolution regarding the status of jerusalem and follows a u. S. Decision to recognize tourism as israels capital move the sparks almost two weeks of protests around the world there was more anger across the palestinian territory overnight with protesters burning effigies of u. S. President donald trump and israels leader Benjamin Netanyahu and egypt is circulating a draft resolution calling for the u. S. Recognition of jerusalem to be withdrawn it states that any decisions and actions which purport to have altered the character status or demographic composition of the holy city of jerusalem have no legal effect are no one for way unless they were ascended in compliance with the sizing its veto within the Security Council the resolution as it stands at the moment is actually a restatement of the uns position on jerusalem as outlined through decades of Security Council and general assemblies a resolution the most recent being in november this year in which the General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to declare any unilateral acts in jerusalem as null and void phrase null and void is contained in the current draft resolution the drop resolution calls on all states to refrain from establishing Diplomatic Missions within. I understand the palestinians somewhat angered they didnt want to single out the u. S. By name however it appears from this draft resolution that egypt and the u. K. Have had their way too in attempt to avoid the u. S. Veto however it would appear that that vetoes likely to happen with israels enthusiastic backing which describes the resolution as a palestinian attempt to reinvent history despite the fact that it is rooted on u. N. Resolutions as they stand at present but palestinians making very clear that should the u. S. Veto this resolution in the Security Council they will attend to have it introduced in the General Assembly where theres nobody to at play this really military says it has attacked a hamas Training Ground after rockets were fired from the palestinian territory of gaza this video said to show the israeli airstrike on the hamas facility deaths were reported it was in response to two rockets being fired into israeli territory where no one was killed rocket strikes from gaza have encreased since president trumps jerusalem moved. Voting is now wrapped up in johannesburg to elect a new leader for south africas ruling party then head of the African National congress will lead the party into the two thousand and eighteen general elections Current Deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa and forces on a dylan dylan mini zuma were formally nominated as candidates on sunday battle for the top job has exposed deep divisions within the Ruling Party President jacob zuma who has head of the a. N. C. For ten years is stepping down many say that after years of zoom is rule soaring unemployment and corruption have left millions of poor black South Africans frustrated with the a. N. C.

What youre really seeing i think is the start of a sort of fracturing a breaking up of the political system we have now into many smaller parties driven in part by a structure which is proportional representation like you see in many parts of europe and scandinavia the meanies room is polling numbers among general South Africans not a. N. C. Members they really are very low one poll who has a around the country sixteen percent of potential voters think she would be a good leader for the a. N. C. From opposes numbers forty three percent think he would be a good leader for the a. N. C. Just looking at that polling number you can see how important this will be for the twenty nine thousand elections i think what many South Africans are really worried about and very upset about is corruption and state capture and president jacob zuma has become the symbol of that he has a friendships he calls them with people and then as the cop the family that becomes very influential get they came from india they say with nothing in around one thousand nine hundred three suddenly they seem to have a political pull to land wedding guests at one of our Main Air Force bases and dont suffer any consequences and theyve been all sorts of claims recently about how much money theyre alleged to have stolen they threw the cup to leaked emails which is a really awful amount of information that is folded into the Public Domain and there really is detailed claims there of corruption how it was actually down the row that president jacob zuma played and all of that many people feel that if it goes i do mean as soon as way that pattern will continue and but if from the polls or wins it will be a chance to we use the phrase recall president jacob zuma and stop that corruption at the very least it would disrupt the current Patronage Network i think it would probably do more than that next the end of the state capture corruption as we call it here that weve seen over the last few months.

Voting for the top post for south africas ruling party has concluded Deputy PresidentCyril Ramaphosa and president jacob zuma exwife imposes on it to let me zoom are the top contenders and an election thats deeply divided the a. N. C. Has become the latest latin American Country to shift to the political right by electing conservative billionaire Sebastian Pinera as president and how to easily overcame his center left opponent in this runoff vote his second time hes been elected. Chiles billionaire president elect to got what he wanted another crack at the presidency for the second time in twenty seven years chile has swung from the center left to the center right both times the civil stamping it out the markets favorite the former president a successful businessman promises better times ahead as he extends an olive branch to the uk if he does i want to renew our commitment to old chill lanes a commitment to unity and dialogue and so i invite all of our previous president s to share their experience and advise with me so that we can reach National Agreements to tackle our biggest problems. At the headquarters of center left candidate. There were long faces had run on the promise of accelerating the social reforms started by the current government of president Michelle Bachelet but the former journalists inexperience and chilly sluggish Economic Growth ultimately gave the conservatives the upper hand bennetta has been linked to several shady business deals and political scandals but clearly it did not matter i think the general issue is that politicians announce a discredited that people just assume that they are lions of thieves whatever and then choose between the lesser of two evils chileans have made their decision joining the recent american swing towards the political right but in this country you know would not have an easy time of it not only because the electorate has proven itself to be more demanding but also because you will not enjoy a majority in the legislature. Which means speaking it i will have a hard time rolling back on still popular social reforms as is happening in brazil and neighboring argentina being you know government is going to be more of an administrative go its going to going to be very similar to what we saw in his first term in power its going to be more short term oriented its going to be related to jobs. But this time round of us stamping it out will have to be less accommodating to the Business Elite the election has shown that chileans have become far more demanding and are expecting results no matter how hard they may be to deliver.
