to run the polling station we're talking about the boxes to put the ballot papers in the ballot papers themselves and also the ink used to stain voters' fingers to prove that they have cast a vote well that equipment didn't even turn up so in seven hundred forty four polling stations in pop were the election didn't even happen and in some areas they are going to start that process on thursday in some other areas of popular province and a nearby province as well the nearby chain of islands there were similar problems similar problems and in some cases the voting is still ongoing so certainly some problems around the country here in the capital it seems to have been fairly smooth so when can we expect results that. well as a say the vote counting at the individual stations is the first phase so that it's come to an end in areas like this then it will be up to so-called quick count organizations media companies the political parties themselves other independent

monitoring organizations will deliver quick count results and they do it very quickly indeed and indeed one of the more reliable media companies already starting to put out some provisional results right now those very early stages in the vote count but they showed that the incumbent president joko widodo is in front of his challenger in the race to become president for the next five years but again that's very early stages but i expect within the next two to three hours we may see a pattern emerge from some of those early provisional results and if the margin is enough for one of those presidential candidates then i would expect one of them to declare themselves a winner possibly the other to concede officially the final results won't be known and won't be made public by the election commission until the twenty second of may thank you for that wayne hale reporting there live from jakarta indonesia. and out of news at least one hundred fifty people are missing after a boat sank in the democratic republic of congo it happened. on the country's

and world bank if in efforts by washington to remove sudan from the list in recent years in twenty seven thousand trade and economic sanctions were lifted the government of all maga share was accused of financing and supporting groups such as hamas and hezbollah the u.s. designates those group as terrorist organizations that burton was director of policy for the u.s. special envoy to sudan under president barack obama is now a nonresident fellow at the brookings institution he says washington has an opportunity to give sudan a second chance. this discussion is not new it's been part of ongoing bilateral negotiations with the now fallen regime in sudan the discussion is happening again inside the administration here in washington as to whether that does ignition could be lifted more quickly so should some of the demands of the protesters be met should a civilian led government be put in place should the terms of a transition be articulated right now policymakers in washington are are trying to

find a way that they could lift that designation sooner in many ways it prevents debt relief and foreign assistance and other forms of cooperation but above all it's a scarlet letter that really denotes sudan as a kind of pariah state the situation is fast and fluid and folks in washington are trying to keep abreast of developments in these really critical hours and days i do think both the administration and members of congress could step forward right now and articulate that they're ready to support a transition both by lifting remaining punitive measures such as the state sponsored terrorism doesn't nation but also by putting some incentives on the table readiness to support debt relief or readiness to restore diplomatic relations in due course should the right steps be taken the secretary of state could make a visit to khartoum washington could indicate that it's ready to designate a new ambassador to sudan which it hasn't had since one thousand nine hundred seventy so what happens in sudan in the coming hours and days will be decided by

the sudanese people but i do think that washington has an opportunity right now to help give them the best chance of success donna has vetoed a resolution passed by congress and u.s. made terry assistance to the saudi u.a.e. led coalition that's finding yemen's war congress has grown uneasy with chops close relationship with saudi arabia as the war drags on and civilian casualties mount many politicians are also upset that trump hasn't condemned sides arabia over the death of janice ross and jordan has more from washington. at least two democratic u.s. senators are calling for congress to override the veto issued by donald trump on tuesday night the u.s. president is vetoing a joint resolution passed by members of the senate and of the house earlier this month. with call of the u.s. military to stop all support for the saudi air coalition in the yemeni civil war the supporters of this measure say that the u.s.

is on the wrong side of history that the saudi air war against whom the fighters has its state created a bass of humanitarian catastrophe in that country which has been under civil war for more than four years of congress are also angry that the tropic ministration is continuing the pattern of never it big war of going into conflicts around the world without getting the express permission of congress first and they're also trying to express their disapproval and the light of the fact that in their view no what has been held fully accountable for the burger of saudi writer jamal khashoggi back in october it is widely assumed that the saudi crown prince mohammed bin sol bond may have been behind the plot to. murder and so for those three reasons congress said that it should have some sort of limit placed a u.s. military action in yabut however the u.s.

president says that he has the constitutional right to deploy the military wherever he sees fit both for u.s. special security purposes every u.s. foreign policy purposes he said that if he approved this joint resolution number said that it would set a very bad precedent for u.s. policy going forward the question now can congress figure out how to reverse the veto and have this resolution take effect in a couple of weeks time. france's president emmanuel michael has vowed to rebuild. within five years a huge fire destroyed its rule of inspire but authorities say the eight hundred fifty zero cathedral is structurally sound donations to help restore it have reached nearly one billion dollars from paris bennett smith reports. it was a hellish scene inside one of christianity's most important cathedrals. burning cinders rained down on the center of the cathedral such was the danger from falling
