Austria looks set to welcome a new leader thirty one year old Sebastian Kurtz official Election Results arent expected until the end of this week but curts is said to be seeking a coalition with his countrys far right and to Immigration Party causing concern across the European Union david cheater has more from vienna. A new start and a new image for austria the worlds youngest leader in waiting is reported to be in intensive find the scenes negotiations with the hard right Freedom Party to whom the Coalition Government is political analysts say Sebastian Kurtz cleverly exploited his countrys fears about another Immigration Crisis. Migration is now the topic that all the politicians have and all Political Parties have to address in order to be successful in election complaints. Instead of the defaced posters you usually see in the aftermath of many elections curses were plastered with stickers saying thank you we are behind us in the world but. I realize the shift to the right is happening in europe in general and that is i think a development which means that people are more insecure of the values on the right anymore. Hinds christian strucker who leads the Freedom Party is expected to demand the Foreign Ministry as its price for giving kurds an absolute majority in parliament the International Reaction to kurds is victory has been somewhat cautious and muted no doubt because the Coalition Talks are still going on. The german chancellor Angela Merkel praised him for running a very modern campaign but knows the Immigration Crisis could be even harder to handle with curts as her new neighbor. Today we have said and i say this time and time again we must solve the problems and we must look we have achieved and what we have not. The counting of postal votes has yet to be completed city official results of the election will not be announced until the end of this week no major changes are expected though the far right is about to enter the government for the first time in seventeen years if the Coalition Talks are successful. To aljazeera vienna. Well the philippine president says his military has liberated the Southern City of morale we are a five month battle against isis fighters president rodriguez a terrorist say says the city has been freed from what he called terrorists but his military is still continuing the announcement came a day after two senior commanders of a local isolating group were killed more than a thousand people have died in the conflict and displaced at least four hundred thousand others. Joining us from morocco itself and that is where the president was holding a flag raising ceremony with the military so certainly hes declaring the liberation of the city. I. Apologize we apologies we seem to be having connection issues with we will try and get her a little later on in the program well move on to news out of somalia because were hearing that rescue crews there are working to find survivors two days after the countrys worst ever attack more than three hundred people were killed and hundreds more injured when a truck bomb explosion ripped through the heart of the capital catcha lopez hauteur young reports. Its a search to recover bodies and perhaps to find survivors rescue workers hope theres still life under these piles of rubble. Twenty four hours after the explosion we found a young man who was alive the first thing i asked for was a phone so he could call his family he will continue to look for survivors for as long as it takes. More than three hundred people died in saturdays bombing attack in mogadishu scores are still missing. And his family were nearby when the car exploded he hasnt seen his brother since then. My brother and his wife very near the blast that is still. Very about if they survive it weve gone to the sea and to all the hospitals but still nothing. Many families are left with only questions not knowing whether to grieve or hang on to hope. My son had a pharmacy. Where the tragedy happened we still dont know where he is dead or alive he had she wives and twelve children he was our sole breadwinner and for Survivors International help has arrived military planes take these victims to turkey where they will receive specialized treatment with limited resources and medical supplies local hospitals are struggling. In my career as a doctor ive never seen anything like this they were burned bodies all over the place hundreds of fatalities were registered at medina hospital countless are injured. Countries like kenya ethiopia and qatar offering logistical help locals are also doing what they can retrieving bodies from the rubble providing food and water for emergency workers. But they are also angry hundred suit to the streets to protest the attack they blame the armed groups fighting the government and. Union peacekeepers inside somalia i thought. It was a massacre ive never seen anything like it in the last twenty seven years i saw a little boys head lying on the ground it was shocking. No one has yet claimed responsibility but speaking to aljazeera and al shabaab spokesman refused to confirm or deny responsibility the president who visited the scene blames would he calls terrorists targeting innocent civilians. The shock has now turned to anger pain and frustration as somalis deal with the deadly aftermath and all rising death toll. Now dizzier well mohamad the know is joining us now from the somali capital mogadishu look as you heard in the report will have made no claim of responsibility of the finger of blame those squarely pointed at. Itself are we any closer to finding out who was behind this. Well as far as claiming responsibility no they havent claimed and it is sponsibility for the talk. But the government has thoughts whatsoever that its the same group that kind of talk the wost in somalia as history this is a country that has known so much of violence in most of the past three decades but whats happened on saturday only one of the busiest streets of mogadishu is never been seen in these countries and all that blame is pointing out that they are the only group up in spain cutting out the toxin like this one. Trucks with explosives and targeting government as well as citizens as their targets so many people here have absolutely no doubt that it was al shabaab themselves so what kind of discussion then has now emerged in the country about the security situation. Well this is a more this is a nation still in mourning this is the third and final day of a period of mourning declared by president mohammed of the life of a madrassa soon. Caught many people stealing the show them a cup mission of looking for any survivors as well as the board beasts of the people who are still under the rubble of buildings that collapsed buildings within some buildings within to me to too much kilometers of radius of the cover and it is a huge task rescue workers us team looking for the bodies as well as survivors they were really encouraged yesterday late in the evening when they found a survivor will seriously injured under the rubble of the one of the buildings thoughts. So for now the people are still in shock but immediately these mourning period is over many questions some of them very difficult will be asked and want the government will be facing would be the question why is it unable to stop such kind of a tox series two thousand and eleven when i was kicked out of an issue by African Union peacekeepers in National Army this is a question the government would not have an answer to because the army the National Army is in disarray its not steal a professional army many of them go without sometimes for months they ease heat and Security Policy within the government so these there will be very tough questions asked but people are just waiting for this period of mourning time ok thank you for that updates still ahead on aljazeera the cleanup begins after irelands worst storm for hasa century that story and more coming up in just a moment. From the waves of the south. To the contours of the east. Part of the reigns of former hurricane ophelia and a spinning of the scotlands that massive white cloud on its way to norway its all part of a system slowly edging into western europe the white cloud against the bay of biscay through portugal and spain where some rain is falling out of it which is going to be good news because once more you probably know both portugal and spain have been hit by wildfires big ones once for the second time this year for portugal and they cover the loss of northern portugal and cliff here in northwestern spencer and in that comes out of that frontal system thats going to be help has been some rain and there is more to come but thats the only active part of that frontal system as it strings through north of all this is now a separate slightly cooler weather still quite warm with much warm weather still for new this is were talking about temps in the twentys as far north as low countries northern germany twenty one in berlin for example there is no weather to speak of within this big massive High Pressure also around the edge windy weather of course of the remains of ophelia and wind and right of course more rain coming in through spain and portugal the next two days which has got to be even better news but it goes down to eighty however for a good part of the rest of europe enjoy the end of october because temperatures in excess of twenty as far north as the north sea its most unusual. There with sponsored by cats on these. Type of oh is it when theyre on line we were in hurricane. Almost like thirty six hours these are the things that you must address or if you join us on sect. But. This is a dialogue tweet us with hash tag a. J. Stream and one of your pitches might make the next show join the global conversation at this time on al jazeera. The top stories on aljazeera in iraq Kurdish Forces have lost more territory a day after a Government Troops took over the Northern City of kirkuk theyve now withdrawn from the towns of. As well as several oil fields rescuers are searching for people who are still missing after the worst bomb attack in somalia history more than three hundred people were killed in a truck blast on saturday the philippine president says his military has liberated the Southern City of mirali after a five month battle against fighters president rodriguez the tears a says the city has been freed from what he called terrorists but his military says fighting is still continuing more on that story with Jimmy Oloughlin dog and joining us from raleigh itself so as im saying the president was in the main battle zone where flag raising ceremony was held together with the troops so hes clearly saying that the city has been liberated. Yes officially the flag was raised the National Anthem was sung the always of loyalty was. Read to the for the first time in many months since the battle began more than four months ago now but you know there are still pockets of fighting in different parts of what are we here that there is those several pfizers still in the main battle zone near the lake that is Still Holding position in a few houses so the ceremony today was merely symbolic it was hastily arranged but its significance was not lost on the civilians of lost their homes and their loved ones and also on soldiers who have sacrificed their lives as you know more than a thousand people have been killed since the fighting began over a hundred of them are soldiers and two of the top leaders were killed in a military operation so what does this mean for the group itself does the signal the end of the group. Well it was something that we asked the chief of staff yesterday he said that this me this means its going to be a setback for them out a group that it will take some time before theyre able to find a leader but if we look at the history of rebellion of armed groups armed groups in the philippines the deaths of leaders not necessarily mean an end to the presence of these groups in fact if you look at the leaders of the abu sayyaf the leaders of the more islamic liberation from the more National Liberation front there was always someone who managed to seek their place and this is why peace negotiations with these groups are critical so it may just be a matter of time before them out a group are able to either evolved into a Different Group altogether or merge with other groups there are many areas youre being looked at now its important to know that there are also so sympathizers for them out there but according to president rodrigo that there did the most important part now is rehab alliteration so that people here can begin building their lives back again ok jamila duggans thank you.
