A controversial and authoritarian figure, he governed peru between 1990 and 2000 before being forced from office amid allegations of corruption. His tough stance against a left Wing Guerrilla Insurgency while president brought allegations of Human Rights abuses. He fled the country in 2000 but was subsequently arrested and extradited to peru, where he was convicted in a number of cases including for corruption, abuse of power and being behind two Death Squad massacres in the early 1990s.

They even said he was going to be a candidate in 2026. His political legacy continues, his daughter is the leader of probably the most important political party in the country and has been a three time president ial candidate since 2011. On the narrowly losing on three occasions. He continues to be a political force in the country and is legacy for good or bad will continue in the country. His story is extraordinary.

Yes he has inspired other political leaders and coming from an immigrant family he was very much outside of the elites in the country. And very popular with the poor in the country because of his public work. Usually divisive figure.

Spain is currently housing who they say should be president , edmund gonzales, venezuela is becoming so cut off now, even its neighbours in South America are urging president Nicolas Maduro to give information about the view that he won the selection. What do you think will happen next . Frankly, i dont think anything will happen. It is resolution by congress, not resolution that requires the president to do anything. The president has the opportunity to ignore it and proceed just as the Prime Minister of spain, it is the congress in spender passed a resolution recognising gonzales as the President Elect but the government of spain has not. The government of spain says they will ignore the resolution and i suspect that is what Nicolas Maduro will do as well. Thank you for that clarity. We appreciate your time.

On wednesday, we had a chilly, Northwesterly Airflow across the uk and that brought us a mixture of sunshine and showers, some of those showers really dramatic. A beautiful strike of Foot Lightning there in nottinghamshire, and in the same county, so much hail, late afternoon, that it completely covered the roads and pavements in newark on trent. The showers then were particularly widespread. Im showing you this because weve got a similar look to the Weather Forecast as we head into thursday. So here we go. Weve got that Chilly Flow Of Northwesterly Air coming down from polar regions, and as that cold air gets heated by the seas, well, thats what makes the showers. So as long as this Cold Feed of air continues to work in, so, too, will the showers. For the time being, though, most of the showers are actually draped around coastal areas, inland areas at the moment largely dry with clear spells and its cold. Temperatures starting off the day in the coldest spots down to around about two Degrees Celsius, cold enough even for a nip of ground frost. So a really cold start for a september morning, thursday morning, but loads of sunshine, showers from The Word go around coastal areas. As we go through the day, and those temperatures rise, so the showers will start to break out across inland areas from the late morning and into the afternoon. Some of the showers will be heavy with Hail And Thunder and theyll be very widespread, so most places will see a downpour or two through the day. Temperatures about ten to 16 degrees and probably the heaviest showers come the afternoon, i think, across the midlands and eastern england. By friday, we see an area of high Pressure Build across the uk, so thats going to kill the showers. Its going to be another very cold start to the day, lots of morning sunshine, but this time were going to start to see some Rain Move into Northern Ireland towards The End of the day. Another cold day for the time of year. Temperatures about four Degrees Celsius below average for september. All change, though, into the weekend. An area of low pressure is going to be bringing some wet and windy weather. Could get gusts of wind of around 50 to 60 miles an hourfor the North West of scotland, with the Rain Piling in here and really accumulating. Southern and eastern areas should stay dry with some sunshine, and with the winds coming in from a south westerly direction across the uk, so temperatures are going to leap upwards, closer to average for the time of year, with highs of 16 to 19 degrees, and it looks as we head into next week, High Pressure is going to dominate. So loads of dry weather around next week, with temperatures close to or perhaps even running a little bit above average, with some warm sunshine.
