any reasonable sentient person who looks at spain, comes to spain, eats in spain, drinks in spain, they're going to fall in love. otherwise, there's something deeply wrong with you. [ man chuckles ] >> anthony: spain's the sort of place that never really made any sense anyway, and in the very best possible way. [men chanting ] >> anthony: this is a country that gave us the spanish inquisition, also anarchy. this is where devout catholicism mixes with surrealism, modernist cuisine with traditional tapas. christianity and islam traded places, shared space. and the effects and influences of all those things are right here to see. you could almost look back through time and through the mists of history, see the phoenicians marching up, cross the vega. or are those feral hippies? an influx of international hippies, many of whom appear to have set up squats in the caves up the mountain, have made things interesting. if they ask what we're doing, you should say we're staging a moon landing. wherever you are on the ideological spectrum, however, some things are constant it seems -- some stereotypi

has it caused much questioning spain of its political choices. the transition for democracy was barely 50 years ago in spain so there are some who feel a bit of affection for certain times in the past even if they do not desire to go back to that age. is there a sense the political system they have is not working? there is no reason why it should not work. spain is in a situation a lot of countries are in, where parliamentary fragmentation has increased and you have parties trying to appease certain voters so as not to lose them to other parties but what we have seen is that has not been a willingness to form coalitions which is what spain needs. spain has 17 regional governments as well as the national government, today is the general election for the national government, but over the years we have often seen coalition is being formed at regional government level, so what it needs is for the party and national level to start to be willing to form coalitions or more collaborative lines than they had in the past which should be feasible. 0ne disap

how this can work with such a fragmented parliament here in spain at the p.p.p. the center right party and the socialist center left party in the past were able to form a coalition on their own you know they had 50 percent of the verge more up more than 50 percent almost 50 percent and they just needed to bring in a few seats a few other parties in smaller parties now they really need to form a growing grand coalition actually to make this work and they really too will need to learn that craft so very much a wait and see situation situation later lois at the headquarters of spain socialist party in madrid thanks very much. celebrations for the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall have been extended to the famous bridge of spies in the nearby city of potsdam the gleaner bridge saw the exchange of cold war prisoners a laser show marked the crossings reopening a day after the wall fell. beethoven's ode to joy rang through the night air as red laser beams illuminated the famous bridge between west berlin and potsdam 30 years ago on the 10th of november 908

and the unity of spain and issues that really had been sort of not top of the agenda for quite a while then also of course you have a certain amount of protest voters in there who were fed up with the other parties and said that's just try something else there is this the usual sort of railing against the the perceived idea that political correctness is too strong in this country and you have something that might be particularly spanish which is a sort of rollback on women's rights because the spending has spain has seen a rather record modernization during the last years and so min seem to be standing up now and said this is all going much too far we don't want this and we want to sort of push this spec so it really makes the act of motives with this vox party really wants to go politically what they really want to achieve what their real goals are that is relatively i'm clear so this is mostly about protest and it's mostly about national feelings. about to have a cell reporting there in madrid thank you. now big bird the cookie monster and the rest of the sesame street cast have been

longstanding when to call deadlock in spain looks set to continue in sunday's general election prime minister pedro sanchez is socialists took the largest share of the vote but failed to secure a majority in parliament the biggest gains were for the far right party which doubled the seats in parliament to become the 3rd largest party spain's had 2 general elections and a european election this year. well for more we can bring in our correspondent bob i've a zal who is standing by in madrid for us good to see you barbara it seems that these elections haven't changed much which begs the question what is spain go from here. that is the question where do i go from here that pedro sunshine has must have put to him self last night when he was tossing and turning in his bed because the point is looking at today's papers you see he wins the election bought for me the government is even more difficult than before that's what he said it's the plain truth he comes out even more as he lost a few seats not too bad basically his vote held up bought the possible coolish and hartnell most votes and
