Resulting between the two thirds majority which has been titled the super majority in both the upper and lower house three hundred twelve of the four hundred sixty five seats that were up for grabs and and as you can see that the local papers theyre reflecting this two thirds again we have on this headline this one won two thirds by to continue so i spoke to the media last night he said if you were flipped on these results with humility voters went to the side and i have to say i mean looking at the way he campaigned he used north career is as a key part of his the campaign foundations we had a very disorganized opposition parties we had the likes of the party of hope to need two new Political Parties which were launched in the last month the party of hope was launched by the very popular tokyo governor eureka. Many had hoped she would pose a threat to its majority this didnt come through and she last night she admitted complete defeat she said she regretted many of the Campaign Strategies there was a surprise looking at one particular party which has become the Main Opposition Party this is the Constitutional Democratic Party led by you yukio edano he was the face of the fukushima. Nuclear disaster a few years back and he went on to lead this party this partys offering completely different policies to what is offering so a couple of surprises in the the final results which have come through overnight but are resulting in robust victory for the lots of sheens are by and the liberal democratic party. Partial results in argentinas midterm Congressional Elections suggest gains for president the coalition is looking to extend control of the Congress Wants a mandate to overhaul the economy wins in key districts could give his coalition its first legislative majority since he took office in twenty fifteen donal surely has more from one of ours so with most of the votes now counted in the midterm elections it does look as though the governing can be a most coalition has won a substantial victories and in victories in provinces they hadnt expected to do that well in the most important provinces populous places like mentor socalled of the. I of course in one of cyrus in the capital one osiris where there can be has won more than fifty percent of the vote the other parties the opposition parties will be scrutinizing the results in the next few days none more so than the former president cristina fernandez. She finished in second place in the race a senate seat representing the one osiris province the most populous province in the country she will say its some kind of victory but she finished a second second place behind the can be a more candidate is there were no voltage she will take that seat in the senate but is not quite the platform i think she was hoping for towards her president ial aspirations in the elections in two thousand and nineteen still being counted will be for some hours to come but it can be a more that can be a governing coalition who are celebrating in their headquarters in one hour cyrus talking about the band they now have to put forward policies with a stronger force in the congress and in the senate to push forward economic policies they say are necessary to boost argentinas economy. Now despite hopes of a breakthrough it seems the gulf crisis that seemed kept on living under a blockade for nearly five months would drag on u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson is in the region but says the Saudi Arabian that bloc is not ready to talk well after meeting. Been hammered out thirty in doha he called on all sides to deescalate tensions but said the u. S. Couldnt force any discussions while tennyson flew from saudi arabia where he met king solomon but there were no indications of progress he also held talks there with the iraqi Prime Minister on a body and says he wants to counter iranian influence in iraq in reports from doha. He talked tough on his way over blaming the Saudi Led Coalition for the impasse but in the region the tough talk stopped meetings with the crown Prince Mohammed bin samana asked him to please and gauge the pleasing gauge in dialogue. There is not a strong indication that parties are ready to talk yet. And so we cannot force talks on people who are not ready to talk still us secretary of state Rex Tillerson took great pains to compliment the qatari significant progress has been made in a number of important efforts in our counterterrorism joint efforts including sharing of terrorist list terrorist financing weve participated in a number of counterterrorism technical sessions and training and significant steps have been taken to handsome aviation security. He didnt criticize the blockading countries not even after the saudis seemed to publicly slight him by sending the deputy minister of protocol to the airport for his part that qatar foreign minister is clearly frustrated by the behavior of the four blockading countries. I also feel sorry to say that they are not ready to face this issue and to tackle with dialogue the reasons for this crisis these countries have resorted to undergo a medical methods that have nothing to do with modern diplomatic channels and this is no good secretary tillerson isnt leaving the region and he is expected to do one more press conference this time on his own here in doha so that means he has one more chance however unlikely to try and put some public pressure on the blockading countries to try to resolve this crisis as it begins to enter its fifth month political haint aljazeera. Well jonathan crystal is a fellow with the World Policy Institute he says the u. S. Could do more to push the situation forward the u. S. Certainly has leverage and killers and claim that all we can really do is ask and cant force people together its sort of laughable now there might be contexts in which thats true but in this case the u. S. Has a lot of leverage over saudi arabia in terms of arms sales that havent gone through yet that are sort of on board theyre certainly much more diplomatic pressure theres financial pressure but it really has to come from the top or from a sort of unified administration speaking with one voice and if the saudis think they can go around telling directly to the president and theyre probably right about that then why should they actually listen to him why should they agree to talks when they think that they can wait out the clock thirteen people have been killed in a suicide bombing in northeast nigeria five others were injured in my degree the area is home to a camp the people who fled the conflict with the armed Group Boko Haram. Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe has been removed as a goodwill ambassador for the World Health Organization just two days after he was appointed it follows a backlash from International Leaders and Health Groups who say jim bob ways own Health Service is collapsing god has been criticized for going abroad for medical treatment finally south African Media activist Michael Reddy told us why there was so much anger among garbage appointment well hes very good at looking after his Health Care Facilities well or griese and bubblin die in dilapidated hospitals waiting for treatment the Healthcare System in the block where is collapsing because of economic collapse that is the result of zanu p. F. Policies and the new politics this is a regime that spend ninety one percent of its tiny budget on paying salaries and yet cannot afford to pay nurses and doctors who regularly go on strike and if you recall in two thousand and nine there was a cholera outbreak that killed four thousand five hundred people or thereabouts and this is a preventable disease so this is all political. And its a slap in the face for ordinary zimbabweans so it is quite hard to understand the supports and of course this its not just about health care that the regime is one that is that is marked by brutality that rules with an alliance and that has left ordinary zimbabweans in a diet situation so it is hard to stand when the support from a go big does come from and he does have some support although. His legitimacy is certainly crumbling i think in order to really understand this one has to look at the complex legacies of colonialism and imperialism and neo would carry this through. Hundreds of people have been protesting in spains capital to show their support for catalonia the governments moving to take control of the autonomous region following a disputed secession referendum this month spains foreign minister is urging catalonians to ignore their leaders and accept darrick rule catalan Political Parties will meet on monday to decide what to do next Andrew Symonds reports from barcelona.

That justice is on on our side in this one of the most decentralized countries in the world the spanish state and the Regional Government in barcelona im now more entrenched than ever before but what about the millions of people affected by all of this for some of them isnt as simple as choosing one side or the other parent who used to be a socialist Party Supporter hes been against independence but is now in a dilemma he says hes horrified by the action of Mariano Rajoy is government in taking power away from elected politicians they decided to apply the worst Case Scenario for is suppressing the selfgovernment and tell to the people hey were you are going to vote again not to get what you want but when we expanded government one because now im feeling not comfortable at all with the spanish.

And misinformation is right dismissal and does not well documented accusations and evidence is part of genocide the listening post provides a critical counterpoint challenging Mainstream Media narrative at this time on aljazeera. Welcome back a quick reminder of the top stories on aljazeera japans Prime Minister shinzo on a slip to victory in a small collection pledged to toughen his stance on north korea and revive the economy. The u. S. State says the south in a group of countries blockading is not ready to negotiate in the region in the latest attempt to end the dip. Mucha crisis.

Now monday marks twenty six years since an agreement was signed to end fighting between vietnam and cambodia the paris peace accord was meant to bring democracy to cambodia as well as respect for human rights and a strong opposition but now Prime Minister hun sen says the agreement is dead in the water and theres been a crackdown on the opposition so an International Commission is calling on the peace accord to be reviewed looking as the abbot is a senior Legal Advisor on the International Commission of jurists he says the government is shifting away from human rights and the International Community needs to step in what were seeing at the moment after the government won the last elections by a narrow margin is a centralized policy of eroding human rights and the rule of law and also undermining representative democracy. We are calling upon the International Community particularly the signatories of the paris Peace Agreements using a mechanism contained within them to reconvene to consider what steps can be taken and to bring external pressure on cambodia to respect its International Human rights obligations i think that the the people within cambodia are becoming more and more aware of the situation of corruption within the country the allegations of Human Rights Violations repression of Civil Liberties and i think thats in large part why the c. P. P. Only won the last elections by a narrow margin i think if the situation were to continue in the same track then i think were looking at a very negative outcome not only for cambodia but for the region more generally at least eleven people have been killed in a roadside bombing in somalia that minibus carrying mostly female farmers was hit just outside the capital mogadishu close to areas held by the Group Al Shabaab it comes after more than three hundred fifty people were killed in two explosions in mogadishu eight days ago that attack triggered demonstrations against al shabaab.

My granddaughter was with her son who was carrying her back and had so many pockets and he was also carrying an inflatable mattress when the agra villages saw that and the drinking bottle he was holding they thought he was a vampire they started beating him and killed them back.

S. And u. K. Embassies have imposed travel bans on their staff and issued warnings to Tourists Police havent forced a curfew in southern allowing after villages formed vigilante night patrols to root out socalled vampires.

Allegations to do with me but after. Should not be disputed. President. Defense force to reassure villages and vampire hunters in places like to take suspects to the police and state of killing them.
