of basic necessities, like water and electricity. results from wednesday's election show the anc winning around 40% of the vote, while former president jacob zuma's newly—formed mk party exceeded expectations to finish third. but the party says it is considering challenging the results in court. and so begins a new era in south african politics as well as new challenges for president cyril ramaphosa, who himself helped negotiate the end of apartheid. the bbc�*s africa correspondent, barbara plett usher, reports. it had been a slow and steady day, and then, this. the former president, now the head of the upstart mk party, an unexpected challenge to the anc... ..already reeling from voter anger over economic mismanagement and corruption scandals. jacob zuma has created quite a stir here. he's made a rock star entrance. his party came third, with an unexpectedly strong showing, taking a lot of votes away from the anc... ..and still trying to take more. he announced he had evidence of election rigging, said he was considering a demand for a full revote. the results aren't official yet, but they're clear. the anc has lost the outright majority it held for 30 years, the most dramatic political shift since the end of apartheid. this is uncharted territory. we ask for all electoral stakeholders to please remain calm, for leaders to lead this nation at this time and for voices of reason to continue to prevail. the anc was born out of the struggle against apartheid, the violence of white minority rule that kept black people separate and unequal. archive: there's mr mandela. i mr nelson mandela - a free man. the moment of triumph — nelson mandela released from prison, the first black president in south africa's new democracy. the downfall marked byjacob zuma. he presided over a period of rampant corruption. now he's making a comeback. understandably, i'm very disappointed. but this anc veteran says the party hasn't recovered since then. we have failed. we talk about renewal, the renewal of the anc, and it would take the form of making sure that elements who are really corrupt are removed from the organisation, and we've really failed to act decisively to do that. the anc is still the biggest party, but it needs to find partners to share power. south africa now faces weeks of turbulent coalition talks. barbara plett usher, bbc news, johannesburg. i spoke to the former us ambassador to south africa. we have almost 100% in, it looks likely to be a very big disappointment for the anc. it is an extraordinary watershed moment for south africa and most especially for the anc that has maintained a majority in an unbroken line for three decades now. a watershed moment but also a moment of reckoning. there are tens of millions of young people in the country called the bourne free generation, born after 1994 and the end of a partake. they feel their country underwent a political transformation but not an economic one and they feel they have been on the outside looking in. in reality they have been on the outside looking in. by one measure, the world bank called south africa the most unequal society in the world, with 10% of the population holding 71% of the wealth, while the bottom 60% holding just 7% of assets. that's the fundamental dynamic at play for why the anc has tumbled out of its majority. you think it is the younger generation in south africa that is likely behind a watershed moment, as you call it? overwhelmingly. when you have 11 million eligible voters that did not register, another 13 million who did registered but didn't participate, overwhelmingly young, and all those who did participate in places like kwazulu—natal, anc stronghold, jacob zuma's new party absolutely dominated, and it's overwhelmingly young people who are disenfranchised, who feel the anc has lost its way and become corrupt, not essentially focused on prosperity. that is driving a lot of volatility in the system. when i had the privilege of serving, i observed a national election there in 2015, and it was already clear there was a downward trajectory for the anc because they were failing to deliver on services in the country. rolling blackouts, whites represent 7% of the population, owning 50% of the farmland in the country. there has never been any transfer of assets, legacy wealth for black south africans. and education, vocational training, opportunities to get a toehold in the middle class have been trading. in the middle class have been tradinu. ., ., trading. looking forward, the anc will be — trading. looking forward, the anc will be looking _ trading. looking forward, the anc will be looking for - anc will be looking for coalition partners. is there an obvious one? how will the puzzle pieces start to fit together?— puzzle pieces start to fit touether? ., . .,, ., , puzzle pieces start to fit touether? ., , together? jacob zuma “ust rose from the dead h together? jacob zuma “ust rose from the dead like h together? jacob zuma “ust rose from the dead like a h together? jacob zuma just rose from the dead like a phoenix i from the dead like a phoenix and he believes he is the obvious one. he and his cadre have continuously said they will not form a coalition with the current president cyril ramaphosa. he was formerly jacob zuma's deputy, they were sworn enemies. nowjacob zuma gets to play kingmaker if the anc gets into coalition with this new party. i suspect we will end up with a governing party of national unity cobbled together from several smaller parties, constituting 50 plus one, to enable the anc to continue to govern. but the challenges are going to be profound at a local level. the economic centre of the country gauteng, withjohannesburg, gauteng, with johannesburg, which gauteng, withjohannesburg, which has had close to a dozen mayors in the last few years. economic strains are profound. many of the problems in south africa under the anc, there will be new blood in the government. there is high unemployment as well. i should have started _ unemployment as well. i should have started by _ unemployment as well. i should have started by commending . have started by commending south africa for continuing to model inclusive participatory democracy. that is an election that went off basically without a hitch and without a sense that everyone wasn't being included with the opportunity to participate. that's not always the case on the continent. it's a commendable thing. as somebody who loves the country, i believe there isn't anything wrong in south africa that wouldn't be cured by everything that is right in south africa. extraordinary enterprising young people, and re—formers within the anc and other political parties who will set the government right again. focusing on economic disparities in that country. two key right—wing figures in israel's government are threatening to leave their posts if prime minister benjamin netanyahu agrees to an israeli peace proposal announced by president biden. israel's national security minister, itamar ben—gvir, says any deal that results in a ceasefire before hamas is destroyed will be a victory for terrorism. israel's finance minister also opposes any truce before hamas is wiped out. the peace proposals are backed by the israeli opposition and mediating countries. hamas also reacted positively to the plans. the united states, egypt, and qatar released a joint statement on saturday urging the two sides to reach an agreement. the uk's foreign secretary, lord cameron, told the bbc his thoughts on the deal. i think what the deal contains is a staged process for the release of hostages in the first phase and a pause in the fighting, and then it goes on to a second stage with a longer pause, with more israeli withdrawals and the release of further hostages, then going on to a third stage, hopefully without any return to fighting, when you get on to the rebuilding of gaza. now, of course, all these plans are incredibly difficult to put in place. but fundamentally why i think this is a moment we should seize to try and bring this conflict to an end permanently is that, you know, it's one thing to call for a ceasefire, but of course, if you can't put in place the conditions that make a ceasefire sustainable, then it won't last. and this is an attempt to start to put those conditions in place, because we all know you've got to look at issues of israeli security and issues of palestinian statehood alongside each other in order to make a deal last and to solve this problem. former us security coordinator for israel and the palestinian authority lieutenant general mark schwartz shared his shared his thoughts. we heard there, israeli far—right government partners now threatening to leave the coalition, essentially topple netanyahu's government, if this deal goes through. how conflicted do you think the israeli government is over this proposal? i think there's confliction inside of the government and there's certainly confliction inside of the israeli populace. as the elements of this current proposal were rolled out by our president in the united states and more broadly in the international community, i think if you're the families of the hostages, certainly the hostages themselves, if you're hamas and if you're the palestinians living inside of gaza, you're very pleased with the plan, but in terms of the right direction for immediate and long—term security, for the israeli people, it falls well short, because there's no discussion, at least in the plan, about, other than a statement that those responsible for 0ctober7th, israel still has the right to pursue those and bring them to justice — so that implies their intelligence services and special operations forces probably continuing to pursue. but there's a major security gap that will be created by the withdrawal of israeli forces with no security replacement inside of gaza, starting with the major urban centres and then ultimately, if you go to phase two, where you see the withdrawal of israeli forces. so i can certainly appreciate the concern expressed by those within the israeli populace, and even here in our own country, in terms of, if the us is saying that hamas is an international terrorist organisation, since the early �*90s, certainly... we heard president biden, didn't we, saying to israel and messaging towards netanyahu, essentially, look, he doesn't believe that hamas still is a threat to israel. he made a big speech laying out this proposal. how much leverage do you think the white house has over this process right now? i think, certainly, what was said during the announcement of this proposal, it's speaking to the us domestic audience, certainly, given, both inside the united states and more broadly, the leadership role that many constituencies in the us want to see the administration take in ending the humanitarian suffering and the really uncalled for civilian casualties in gaza, and ifully appreciate that, but i don't think we should be in the position of assessing the security environment for another country, in my view. so, i don't think that's really appropriate, given the nature of what happened on october 7th, and we're seeing, certainly, since the conflict started, the offensive by israel into gaza, they still have a significant capability to launch long—range munitions into israel and have the ability to fight the idf inside of gaza, so... it isn'tjust the united states pushing for this, is it? we just heard from the uk's foreign minister, lord cameron, there. we saw a large group of arab nations as well pushing for this, qatar and egypt. there seems to be a lot of international pressure now, maybe the highest we have seen, to try to end this war with this deal. agree. i think it's important... again, the amount of suffering we have seen of the palestinian population inside of gaza is extremely concerning, the humanitarian crisis that, frankly, israel is responsible for addressing primarily, as the force that conducted the subsequent invasion. so i understand the international call for a cease—fire, and certainly the release of the hostages, absolutely, the innocents on both sides that are being caught up in this conflict, but it does not comport with the strategic end state, which is to eliminate hamas as a military capability and the governing body inside of gaza. very, very briefly, about 20 seconds left, but i do want to ask you — the details of the deal and the response of either side, how optimistic are you this actually gets done? not very optimistic. i think that there is potential for a temporary cease—fire, for an initial exchange — 700 palestinian prisoners for some of the hostages to be released — which would be superb. but i think the long—term, phase two and three, i think, have a very unlikely chance of materialising. after weeks of voting, polls have now closed in the last phase of india's general election — the biggest the world has ever seen. the final stage of balloting took place in 8 northern and eastern states during a severe heatwave. at least 30 people have died of heat stroke. water and fans were provided at some polling stations to cool voters. results are expected to be announced on the 4th ofjune. we are slowly starting to see exit polls, various analysts and media organisations that have paid to have these exit polls done. we don't really get an inkling of how things are going throughout the indian election over the six weeks. now that all phases of voting have ended, we are starting to see some of those being trickled out. really it comes down to the actual results, that still doesn't happen until june the 4th, that's when all the vote counting will take place. because the voting was done primarily by electronic voting machines, the process should be fairly easy, fairly quick rather. they will start counting early in the morning and by early afternoon, we should have an indication of which way the country is going. we are talking about almost 970 million people eligible to vote in these elections. that's why they went on for so long. in order to organise and have enough manpower to get all of those people to be able to cast a ballot, that's why you have elections over seven phases. a lawyer for donald trump has told the bbc nothing will change in the former us president's run for the white house — despite his criminal conviction. trump was found guilty on thursday of falsifying business records, to conceal hush money payments made to the former adult film star stormy daniels in 2016. mr trump has denounced the verdict, and says the trial was "rigged". his defense team has vowed to appeal. according to a new poll, his base of supporters are now more likely to vote for him because of his conviction. in the 24 hours after the conviction, his campaign said it has raised $53 million. trump attorney alina hahbba claims the influx of donations is proof that "trump is the victim of selective political prosecution". here's what she said when speaking to the bbc. we have seen some corruption that this country has never seen before in our judicial system. it is very real. it is not posturing by any means. it is 100% a problem. our people are speaking loudly. they're donating, they're small donors, and they're standing up because they're afraid, because we cannot have this happen to us. to the general election campaign in the uk. rishi sunak has promised to give 30 towns £20 million each if the conservatives are re—elected. labour say they will boost employment and increase support for people with long—term illness. and the liberal democrats are pledging to make ten premier league football games a season available on free—to—air television. 0ur political correspondent ione wells reports. applause and cheering. cheers, change and cheesy grins. labour are hoping to show a positive front today, with... the launch of the bus — angela's bus. and doesn't it look fantastic? laughter. ..after their campaign was a little derailed this week by internal fallout over whether diane abbott could run as a labour candidate. sir keir starmer clarified yesterday she was free to stand. well, i dealt with that issue yesterday. today is about taking our argument to the country, and getting people back to work. there are millions of people who aren't in work, who are on benefits, who desperately want the dignity and respect of being back to work. we're putting our plan on the table to reform thejob centres so that they can actually be places that support people back into work. applause and cheering. the conservatives are also trying to refocus this weekend, after another former tory mp said they were switching their allegiance to labour. and that's what we're going to stop, aren't we? rishi sunak�*s pitch to stop others following was a promise to invest £20 million in 30 towns. the majority are seats currently held by the conservatives. he denied the choice was political. i'm not going to make any apology for supporting towns. it's where the majority of people live. they were neglected for decades under previous labour governments, and we're in teesside today, it's a great example of a place that we've focused on as a government, people can see the change in the community as it's happened. i want to make sure we spread that type of opportunity and pride right across the country. the liberal democrat leader, sir ed davey, says he is taking today to care for his son, who has severe disabilities. his campaign, though, are out touring the south coast. their pledge today is to change the law to force the premier league to show ten games per season on free—to—air television, criticising the rising cost of season tickets and subscription channels. champions again! there are still weeks to go of this campaign, but all parties hope these pledges will help them be victorious on 4thjuly. ione wells, bbc news. hackers say they have stolen the personal details of more than half a billion customers of

for eastern england. for sunday, it's a reverse of fortunes. it's the south and east of the country which will see the best of the warmth and the sunshine. further north and west, it will turn cloudier. that's because around this area of high pressure, we'll see this cloud and a weather front starting to work into the north—west of the uk. so it's a chilly but a bright start for many areas, early cloud clearing away from the south—east. the winds turn lighter here, too. lots of sunshine into the afternoon, a bit hazy in places. but the cloud continues to build across scotland and northern ireland through the day, with even a bit of rain arriving across western scotland as well and the breeze picking up here too. so feeling cooler — 14 degrees for the western isles. a bit warmer for eastern scotland, which holds on to the sunshine for longest, but up to 22 or 23 degrees across the east and south—east of england. now, as we head through sunday night, that weather front with the clouds spills its way southward. so it'll turn cloudy for many areas, with some spits and spots of rain, mainly across northern and western hills. because there's more cloud around, more cloud cover means it won't be quite as cool. so i think a milder night to come for most. then into next week, we see some changes. monday starts off on a fine note with plenty of sunshine, but it will turn cooler from tuesday onwards, with sunshine and showers. most of the showers will be across the north of the uk. so we've got this weather front straddling the country through monday, slowly sinking southwards. it will introduce quite a lot of cloud initially to scotland and then into england and wales. skies will brighten up for northern ireland too. there may be the odd spits and spots of light rain. but it brightens up for scotland. maybe a few showers in the far north later on, where it'll turn breezier. lighter winds further south. so quite a mixed picture, i think. generally, though, given some sunny spells, temperatures will reach highs of 20, maybe 21 degrees. still cooler in the north—west of scotland. and that's the sign of things to come. much cooler air spills southwards across the whole country as we move through tuesday and wednesday and we'll see showers being pushed into northern areas. some of these showers may have a wintry element to them over the tops of the scottish mountains. most of the showers across the north of the uk. further south, in that strong earlyjune sunshine, temperatures will rise up to 20 or 21 degrees, but nights will be chilly. hello. this week, we're looking at big tech and its role in a crucial election year around the world. we're joined by baroness martha lane fox, who sat on the board of x, formerly twitter, until 2022. she tells us about the platform's changing attitude towards political content. plus, is bro culture still prevalent in silicon valley? we ask our tech experts if they've seen a shift in attitudes and how it compares to the uk. first, in the uk, the general election campaign is heating up ahead of polling day injuly. prime minister rishi sunak and keir starmer, leader of the main opposition party, labour, are hitting the campaign trail in their battle buses. but how are they also using tiktok and other social media platforms as a campaign tool? some people are dubbing this the uk's first tiktok election. after the conservatives announced their proposals
