And shelling from both sides now as a vision is vowing revenge here expect a naven wide escalation now well unfortunately i dont know what will stop off were drawn there was little deterrence in terms of their events in taking territory and unfortunately theyre ignoring the call for the cease fire our media has it all for of no precondition that immediate fall so the safety of us still of interest but turkey seems to be also the flying moscows attempt to restore calm and peace and unfortunately it is spiraling dangerously out of control both sides accusing the alvar of contributing to that spiraling out of control thats a sign that was a great awaking can we safely say that thats dead now yes unfortunately and in fact since the launch of this offensive by overdrawn we see the turkish and the other for johnny refusal to abide by call for is these fire indicating that theyre hoping to make more military again unfortunately we dont know how this is going to end except already work paying a price in the horrible loss of civilian life. Who what stands in the way of a diplomatic solution then rather than a military one. Well unfortunately and on willingness to return to diplomacy by the awful bit johnny.

Im joined now by samantha is a journalist in Christ Church so samantha its um its looking pretty good for just an even like a party may when the outright majority that they were hoping for was that expected. Some polls i had indicated that earlier in the year but more recent ones had indicated that she would need to form a coalition with the grain so. That this might happen and as a electoral system that we have it would be the fist time that a party would have enough votes to govern by itself and normally Coalition Arrangements are whats needed in new zealand the saws this is really looking like if the current results preliminary results hold to quite a historic victory for doing and the like of hockey. Just seemed very popular internationally and i guess these poll results show that that feeling is shared by new zealand as well yes it does and she is very well known internationally probably most prominently handling all of the terror attacks and crushed and much last year. And new zealand shes saying very wisely price is officially the c. F. O.
