A prominent opposition politician is freed in cambodia but still faces treason charges. Spains 4th election in 4 years is underway in opinion polls indicate another fragmented result with a surge in support for the far right vox party the leftist demos 40 is now vowing to healthy combine socialists in hopes of forming a Left Wing CoalitionPrime MinisterPetro Sanchez call for the vote after failing to form a new government adding to the political divisions is a turmoil in catalonia which has seen weeks of protests by separatists are standing by for us in boston or not but 1st we go to join a hole in spains capital madrid so i dont know how things looking so far. But we can move it to a vote she told in a close look up there. Well have at least an initial idea for the exit polls that they do explain of where things stand. What we expect is that the socialists will come out of this the Biggest Party much as they did back in april greatest chair vote but usually unable to form a government alone they wont have a majority of the vote and that means theyre going to have to hook up with somebody else or as president is the socialist leader has said be prepared to go into a minority government now already on the left has reached out to the socialist saying look we would be willing to talk to you about a coalition they tried that back in april for several months it failed thats why this election has come about and add to that the fact that it is possible to vote share on the left has dropped because of the ongoing crisis pushing Public Opinion to the right so it may not have the numbers anyway this is a hugely fragmented polarized electoral field gone are the days when the big parties simply swap power from one to the other and back again the various permutations that exist here really dont give an obvious route towards a sustainable and stable government out of this election john i think you for that nights council vote to hold now in boston on a hold of the council on crisis a big issue in this election how the separatist partys likely to do. Well the message coming out of this the catalan leadership was go to the ballot boxes and express your anger there that and we have a big unfolding on the streets of barcelona and elsewhere around the catalonia region ever since 911. 00 to do is where sentenced to jail a few weeks ago over several charges including as edition many people we spoke to have said that that sentence was way too harsh and it just shows the discrimination that they had to just ids have like dead. People. Aspiration you can see behind me its pretty full of weve been at this polling station throughout the day and after say daz been a steady stream of voters now they had big turnout to be sure that suggested that did it would be slightly nowhere but is too early really to draw any book illusion of that the same calls to to go to the ballot box it also came from the sort of activists the Civil Society a group that has been taking this region by storm called the democratic tsunami that sort of commonly kates with the its supporters through and after well they have been say go to the ballot boxes filled the ballot boxes today day tomorrow we will fill the streets because that group has called for 3 days of civil disobedience starting tomorrow so the catalans at this stage are hoping that the parties will fare pretty well and that would have a strong presence in madrid does that mean that the catalan issue was to get out of this deadlock no no one is hoping for that the positions are pretty hardened on all sides dissensions himself especially during the last few weeks leading to dis election has been using a much tougher rhetoric indicating that they will be very little compromise when it comes to the aspirations of some of some by police in catalonia who are asking for independence or for a 2nd river red this time being a legal referendum ok how do i thank you very much for that Hoda Abdelhamid not for us in boston no not in other world news fighting continues in the iraqi capital baghdad between demonstrators and Security Forces the Iraqi Human Rights Commission says that me 6 people were killed on sunday and dozens more have been injured early in the government said a crackdown was not the solution to weeks of protests that have led to the death of more than 300. 00 demonstrators its warned of tough punishment for anyone using extreme violence that includes Security Forces using live ammunition as 3 to natasha go to him in baghdad for us now tasha tell us about that the new death toll 1st.

There may be a Peace Agreement between jordan and israel but its under considerable strain. So these are some of the last israeli tourists to walk across the border without passports to visit jordanian sovereign territory thats been owned and farmed by jews for almost 100 years jordan is not renewing a 25 year deal that granted Privileged Access and hello holy cronus will lose some of our income that we could put makes a living from these lands weve got a deep emotional attachment to the area. Israel got vital Security Cooperation along its longest land border when it signed the peace treaty in 1994 our viewers to see this very become the very obvious Jordans King Hussein and his people were promised political and economic benefits but theyve not materialized i think its true that if thered been progress on the palestinian issue it would have helped with a way to tional jordan i think jordan is also disappointed with the economic benefits that it hoped to gain from the peace treaty there was talk of one stage that we would have one airport in the south that will sort of both jordan israel and israel decided that we didnt want to proceed with that then last year as farmers cultivated crops that take years to mature the u. S. Recognized all of jerusalem as the capital of israel and jordans economy continue to struggle everything combined to intensify jordanian Public Opinion against israel and these were all issues that King Abdullah reflected on at sundays state opening of parliament. Model thats our National Position on the palestinian cause a steadfast supporting our palestinian president to establish their independent state along the 4th of june 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital today i also announce the expiration of the peace treaty an excuse on the outcome in iraq or on the imposition of a full sovereignty over every inch of those lines. Perhaps the most important crop the fruits of peace has failed to take root here the jordanian government now says that the israelis will be given continued access to the farmland until we end of the season next april as long as they apply to visas and the farmers hope that by then some sort of long term arrangement can be found to allow them to continue farming.

If Prime Minister modi is a thing to this i want to tell an injustice breeds chaos give justice to the people of kashmir so this whole region can be freed. To cease gathered from many parts of the world its also a networking opportunity for their political ambitions such as the hollister movement sikhs living abroad are planning a referendum in 2020 on the question of a separate sikh state in northwest india. The Indian Government calls the movement a concoction put together by pakistans intelligence agencies which pakistan denies but many sikhs openly support the idea programmes from india or those planning to travel to india did not want to appear on camera we. Respect anywhere in the world the respect we get in pakistan being a 6 according to the un charter everybody has to be right to follow their religion.
