ఇండోనేషియాను మరోమారు భారీ భూకంపం కుదిపేసింది. మలుకు రాష్ట్రంలోని అంబన్ నగరంలో గురువారం 6.5 తీవ్రతతో భూమి కంపించింది. నగరంలోని పలు ప్రాంతాల్లో భవనాలు కుప్పకూలాయి. కొండచరియలు విరిగిపడ్డాయి. ఈ విపత్తు కారణంగా 20 మంది ప్రాణాలు కోల్పోయారు.

"In this election, being number one is not enough. When there is a majority against us – and all of you have experienced this in May – then this majority will be used no matter whether it's Red-Blue (Social Democratic Party and the Freedom Party) or a coalition of Red, Green and Pink with (Social Democratic Party leader, Pamela) Rendi-Wagner at the helm (Social Democratic Party, Green Party and the liberal NEOS party). I guarantee you when there is a majority against us then this majority will be used."

"If there's an issue then it's not really a factual matter but the question who should govern with whom? That means in this election campaign, we have already gotten to the question which coalitions could be possible and which one would be best for the country."

13. SOUNDBITE (German) Thomas Hofer, political analyst:
"The problem of Sebastian Kurz on election night is going to be that he will have several options but none of these is really exciting. All of them have more disadvantages than benefits. In truth - to put it bluntly - he has the choice between Pestilence, Cholera and Ebola. Because the continuation of the coalition with the Freedom Party is clearly possible with regards to content matters but it is unstable just like a three-party coalition with the New Austria and Liberal Forum (NEOS) and the Greens. And a coalition with the Social Democratic Party would be stable but then he would have to write off his story of change, which made him popular in the first place."

Vienna – 23 September 2019
20. SOUNDBITE (German) Thomas Hofer, political analyst:
"The Freedom Party has been running a two-brands strategy for the past few months, since the Ibiza scandal video became public. Internally they are positioning the hardliner Herbert Kickl for the hardcore fans – and he's doing that very well. And externally there's the obliging, almost overly friendly and softly charming, Norbert Hofer. He is very well suited for – and he's being used for exactly that – to win back those voters that haven been drifting away towards the OVP within the last two years – to bind them to the party again. Norbert Hofer has very, very good popularity ratings for a Freedom Party member. This fact can't be ignored."

"Of course she (Rendi-Wagner) has a different aspiration – that is to reclaim the leading role in this country. But she is miles away from that. If the polls are even halfway correct, then there will be a big gap between first and second place, maybe even the biggest gap in the history of the republic. And one hast to just unemotionally state that the Social Democratic Party never managed to really enter the race for the position of chancellor."

STORYLINE:
Austrians vote on Sunday in an election meant to restore political normality after a scandal that brought down ex-chancellor Sebastian Kurz's centre-right coalition in May - and the 33-year-old conservative is strongly favoured to return to power, one way or another.
The country of 8.8 million people in the heart of Europe has been run by a non-partisan interim administration under Chancellor Brigitte Bierlein, a former head of its top court, since the drama in spring that led to Kurz pulling the plug on his coalition with the far-right Freedom Party and then being ousted in a parliamentary confidence vote.
It offers a test of the far-right's recovery from the scandal that brought down its former leader.
Polls show a big lead for Kurz's center-right Austrian People's Party.
The Freedom Party is vying for second place with the center-left Social Democratic Party, who led many of post-World War II Austria's governing coalitions but are struggling under leader Pamela Rendi-Wagner.
They suggest that there's unlikely to be a parliamentary majority for a realistic coalition led by anyone but Kurz.
He may be able to choose between two or more potential partners, but could find that they all have drawbacks.
Kurz, who rose to power in 2017 after focusing heavily on restricting migration, has kept his intentions vague in a campaign that has centered firmly on him personally and lacked major policy discussions.
He insists that he expects a narrower outcome than polls predict and told supporters at a recent rally in Baden, near Vienna, that "being number one is not enough" in this election.
"I guarantee you: when there is a majority against us then this majority will be used," he said.
That may help rally supporters, but doesn't change his position as the overwhelming favourite.
The Social Democrats under Rendi-Wagner "never managed to really enter the race for the position of chancellor," says Thomas Hofer, a leading political analyst.
"If the polls are even halfway correct then there will be a big gap between first and second place, maybe even the biggest gap in the history of the republic," he said.
In this campaign, "if there's an issue, then it's not really a factual matter but the question who should govern with whom."
Recent polls put support for Kurz's party at 33 or 34%, the Social Democrats and Freedom Party between 20 and 23% each, the Greens set to return to parliament with 11-13% after losing their seats in the last election two years ago, and the broadly liberal but pro-business NEOS (The New Austria and Liberal Forum) at around 8%.
Kurz's People's Party won the 2017 election with 31.5%, with the Social Democrats winning 26.9% and the Freedom Party 26%.
The latter appears to have lost some voters with this year's scandal but kept a solid core of support.
Heinz-Christian Strache, the Freedom Party's leader for 14 years, resigned in May following the publication of a video in which he appeared to offer favours to a purported Russian investor.
The video prompted center-right Kurz to end his governing coalition, in which Strache was vice chancellor.
Other parties then ganged up in parliament to oust Kurz.
The Freedom Party is angling to return to government with Kurz.
A recent election ad even showed new leader Norbert Hofer undergoing relationship counselling with an actor portraying Kurz and declaring that "often it just takes a little shove to carry on together."
But while Kurz speaks well of Hofer, who is relatively moderate at least in tone, those ambitions could be complicated by animosity between Kurz's party and Herbert Kickl, the Freedom Party's hardline parliamentary caucus leader and former interior minister - a favorite with grassroots members.
Kurz told ORF television last weekend that "as good as the substantive work was" in the last coalition with the Freedom Party, "at the same time it was difficult with rat poems and other individual cases."
That was an allusion to an incident this year in which a local Freedom Party official published a poem comparing migrants with rats.
On election night, Kurz could face "the choice between pestilence, cholera and Ebola," said Thomas Hofer, the analyst.
A new alliance with the Freedom Party would be feasible in terms of policies but would be unstable, he said, as would a three-way alliance with the Greens and Neos.
That would leave the option of a "grand coalition" with the Social Democrats - a familiar combination that governed Austria for much of its post-war history.
Kurz helped end a Social Democrat-led "grand coalition" in 2017, and forming a new one would force him "to write off his story of change, which made him popular in the first place," Hofer said.
