Thank you very much for joining us bolivias Opposition Leader carlos says president evo morales should not be allowed to stand for reelection his announcement came shortly after murat has reversed himself and agreed to new elections a report cited irregularities in last months poll accusations murat is rigged the vote count to secure a 4th term in office triggered protests across the country now as he made the announcement bolivias president call for an immediate end to the violence. Was in existence ri will have a new National Election that will allow the believe in people to democratically elected representatives brothers and sisters in the media and the people who believe it after making this decision i want to call on everybody to reduce the tension. We all have a duty to pacify believe im calling for respecting among families respect property and respect for authority and for all social groups are and i speak to our latin america at its embassy in yemen who joins us live from santiago in chile and you see a evo morales caving in to the pressure but still not enough for the opposition it seems. No not at all in fact we are live in the last hour not only his rival in those elections that took place exactly 3 weeks ago is calling for him to resign and for him to be not allowed to run within this next election that will now be held at a date thats not yet has not yet been determined but also other members of the opposition are calling on bolivians to stay on the streets to continue to protest a little they say but peacefully so clearly this is call on everyone to help pacify the country is not be heeded at all at this hour they say that he broke the constitution he violated the constitution by insisting on running for a for a 4th term you may remember that he was not allowed to do so after a referendum which was placed before the bolivians to decide whether or not he could do so was lost but yet he went to the courts and they overturned that referendum that has been a very very a bone of contention ever ever since and now the organization of american states already has has delivered its preliminary report saying that indeed those elections as had been called by the opposition or as have been stated by the opposition had not been clean and fair but the fact that morale is called for a new election altogether is surprising in itself because he didnt want to do that for a long time what changed his mind. Well exactly he had said that if the audit by the oas organization of american states did not go his way then you would be willing to hold a 2nd round the opposition said that that was absolutely unacceptable they also called for a new electoral tribunals that would be transparent and fair what alice has said hell do both hold new elections now and have a new tribunals and i think the Tipping Point was when the army seemed to indicate that it would not back him if people continue to take to the streets thank you very much for that Lucien Newman our latin america is in line for us in santiago not to spain where spoiling is underway for the 4th election there in 4 years the leftist party has vowed to help the incumbent socialist party leader said he will give assistance in hopes of forming a leftist correlation from mr Petro Sanchez call for the vote after failing to form a new government however opinion polls suggest that it might not break the deadlock the Elections Come amid weeks of Political Tension and violent clashes between separatists and police but we have her job to jaime who is standing by for us in boston on a 1st we go to join a whole whos in spains capital madrid so jonah. It seems like they might be some movement here in this election will we likely to see finally a stable government now. Well yes as you say already called demos on the left and done our newest Citizens Party on the right to vote for but most unjust most socialists assistance in forming a coalition everybody can see that there is just not going to be one simple majority winning this election and no great surprise there the problem is that since april the grounds had shifted somewhat to that sort of time might have worked 7 months ago and now. Public opinion has shifted to the right with these latest demonstrations and violence in catalonia and the numbers may just not be there for that goes on and this is really the problem that spain faces at the moment gone are the days when our used to shift easily between one party on the left and one party on the right now post economic crisis post austerity deeply polarized society has given birth to more parties on the left and more parties on the right including on both extremes and with that have been the backdrop as well that many spaniards see as a real crisis a threat to the very unity of the Spanish State there is this very combustible politics going on in space x. A very difficult for any party to work effectively with any other address sanchez he may try for a coalition but hes already saying he wants to try for a minority government making deals as he goes ahead of ad hoc basis would argue on a case by case basis that will require tacitly at least the approval of the p. P. The conservatives on the right who are expected you much better they in turn will be looking to their right to the far right vox party which is expected possibly to become spains 3rd Largest Party they want wont want to be pushing support all the way down the line to walk so whichever way you look at it its very difficult to see where the tire is that finally provide stayed stable got. And as weve said jonah this is the 4th election in 4 years the 2nd one this year whats the feeling among voters as they cast their ballots. I think theres no doubt voters are frustrated theyre tired of having to go over there squabbling politicians its time to time it getting people that i spoke to and the latest polls suggest that more than 50 percent expended dont believe that they will be a stable coalition out of these elections that they may yet see another snap election taking place within the next several months so yes fresh ration indeed one thing that spain doesnt seem to have a problem with is participation the turnout is slightly lower perhaps it was you know it is but still expected to hover around 70 percent so frustrated they may be theyre still coming out to vote all right thank you for that john holl live for us in madrid lets cross over to hard abdelhamid now who is in barcelona or does journalist said castle on independence one of the big issues in this election how are the separatist parties likely to perform. Well i think probably they could perform better than the past elections simply because between a problem and now a lot of things happen. For Independence Movement has got sort of a renewed energy and renewed impetus and ever since those 9 independent catalan leaders were sentenced to jail a few weeks ago by the Supreme Court in madrid and that actually has angered many people here many thought that the sentence itself was too harsh and if you recall there was some rioting and there was some of clashes between police and sort of independent supporters here in barcelona so those are figures that you will have will have to watch very closely once the results are out how much weight will the independent independence parties have in madrid in total catalonia has 48. 00 seats now how much of those will go to those parties will be a big question here and people will look at that that said no one is under the illusion that even though they fare well and they get a big presence in congress in madrid anything will change when it comes to the catalonia issue many people would also tell you that the Prime Minister. Could very well be the next Prime Minister has actually hard to do his position when it comes to catalonia issues and that is not expected to change anytime soon and i think the divide between the 2 sides is growing deeper to positions are hardening and no one really thinks that that will change at this point are and how do i thank you for that i made life for us in boston and i know of course well bring you all the latest on the spanish election throughout the evening here on aljazeera. In other world news in cambodia a prominent opposition figure has been released 2 years after he was charged with treason so guys a cofounder of the band Cambodian National rescue party and that a key opposition voice renzi arrived in malaysia on saturday he left cambodia 4 years ago after facing a prison sentence on defamation charges lets go live to wayne hey whos outside camp so cars house in penn i know youve just arrived in non benway whats been the reaction to news of concert release. Well i think here on the streets of the capital and indeed around other parts of the country its been fairly low key were in the middle of a long Holiday Weekend here so many people have left the city and gone to their home provinces we certainly throughout the course of the day have not seen any large numbers of support is coming here to his house to welcome this decision by the court to allow him to leave his home where he has been detained for more than a year of course is very dangerous for them to do things like that for supporters and members of the Cambodian National rescue party to come out onto the streets the party is bands and many leaders of the party have been accused of trying to plot a coup to overthrow the government so its a very difficult situation for them to come out and to greet this decision generally though the theme from the opposition has been that this is a positive step but its a small one in the right direction there is still a long way to go yes camps a car can leave his home behind me but he still has a lot of restrictions on him he cannot leave the country he certainly cant resume Political Activities and most importantly the case against him against him still stands he is still charged with treason and hes still waiting for that trial to start more than 2 years after he was arrested so is this decision then to release him do you think its likely to appease the European Union which we know had expressed concerns about the situation in cambodia. I think at this stage its unlikely they have been investigating as you say what they see is a declined in democracy and human rights in cambodia they then have been writing the report they have to deliver that report to the government of cambodia by choose day and then they need to decide whether they will follow through with a threat to withdraw the preferential trade status for cambodia basically all goods that are sent from cambodia to the European Union are exempt from tariffs that threaten to remove that which would be a big blow to the economy of this country so it seems unlikely that this decision by the court will be enough to change their minds if indeed they are looking to remove that preferring chill trade status remembering its not just about kim they have been concerned about a much broader decline in democracy in this country we have dozens of other members of the opposition and political activists who are in jail as we speak most of the Senior Leadership of the party fled the country air and a living in exile because they feared being arrested themselves has been a crackdown on free speech on independent media theres basically no independent media anymore in cambodia also on nongovernment organizations so its been much broader than just the case involving chems the car but we will certainly know in the next couple of months we expect whether the European Union will follow through with that threat and i thank you for that wayne han live for us in bend cambodias capital now more now with. The Deputy Director general of Public Affairs for the band opposition cambodia National Rescue party and shes also chemical cost daughter she says she hopes his release is chest the 1st step. Its been 2 years hes been detained in prison for the 1st year and its hes been transferred home for a year and it has not been a trial date set yet the socalled investigation is still going on his lawyers have also requested the court to close the investigation and then drop the charges and their response today is not actually did the court announcement today is not exactly responding to the lawyers request it basically just lifted some of the restriction that was placed on him under house arrest instead of responding to whether or not they will close the investigation and drop the charges i hope that it is the 1st step one the 1st step of many steps that need to happen in order to restore what has happened in the last 2 years so i hope that the charge against him will be dropped and i hope that his political rise along with the political rise of my colleagues and myself will be reinstated and there would be a negotiation between the 2 parties to reinstate for example the space for. Media rights space for Civil Society and reinstate a Real Opposition Party back and again i hope that today is only the 1st of many steps. Plenty more ahead on the sound just here in news hour including his lebannon on the brink of bankruptcy well have the latest on the worst economic crisis seen decades plus protests spread across hong kong on the 24th straight weekend of on race in sport man city had to anfield to face liverpool in the English Premier League all the build up coming out with the whole night.

The doctors and nurses trying to save lives in Tahrir Square say were in a White Lab Coat has become a bulls eye on their backs many were afraid to speak with us on camera saying theyre worried the government rover tally 8 against them for volunteer ing after their day jobs to treat injured protesters what they did and stopped it is they didnt want to they are targeting us to prevent the treatment of their injured 2 days ago on a bridge they were chasing us we were hiding on the side streets and they were shooting at us from home vs who they are on who they get their orders from we dont know these men and women have formed a volunteer army of Health Care Professionals for protestors doctors nurses pharmacists nurses assistants even medical students work in tents like this one spread across talk we are square which has become the epicenter of the protests the wounded arrive in a steady stream primarily via talk tox which could more easily navigate the crowds the medics also venture out onto nearby bridges which have become a battle fields as protesters confront Security Forces and.
