classification and king of the mountains competition. much more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. and that's all the sport for now. thank you very much. the far—right could be on the cusp of winning the most votes in german state elections for the first time since the nazis. this weekend, alternative for deutschland looks set to come out on top in the eastern state of thuringia and possibly neighbouring saxony. it comes as last week's knife attack in germany has fuelled anti—government feeling. the man detained is a syrian asylum—seeker and suspected suppporter of the so—called islamic state. our berlin correspondent jessica parker reports from thuringia to find out why people are supporting the afd, a party many regard as extremist. booing. boos and shouts aimed at chancellor olaf scholz, among them "traitor" and "warmonger". chancellor scholz has not been very visible during this campaign in the east.
8:35 pm
he's not exactly seen as an electoral asset, and the reception for him here, it's mixed. an argument in the crowd. the man on the left supports the far—right alternative for deutschland. the man on the right does not. does germany feel divided to you at the moment? yeah. yes, they say. that's the one thing they can agree on. some upbeat music, but don't be fooled. there's tension in germany, especially around immigration. that's feeding the afd's popularity, a party in thuringia that's classed by domestic intelligence as right—wing extremist. some people in germany, they're not just critical of the afd, they say they're actually scared of the afd. translation: no-one wants to be called right-wing - extremist or nazis.
8:36 pm
we make conservative . politics, but it's far away from right—wing extremism. that's what people are being told every day, i and they fall for it. life looks good here, but something's bubbling in the former communist east. what's driving this discontent? well, there's angst on issues ranging from immigration to germany sending weapons to ukraine, a deep frustration with the parties that have governed this country since reunification, and a dissatisfaction amongst people in east germany about what reunification has or hasn't delivered. you can constantly see where the east begins and where the west begins. better infrastructure, better industry, it's more more concentration on the west, like.... and we are getting, like, forgotten. constantin, who says he'll support the afd, hops on his east german—made simpson s50 moped.
8:37 pm
over decades, pride in the east was dented. many would dispute whether the far—right�*s the way to get it back, but here, that's where the momentum lies. jessica parker, bbc news, in thuringia. let's speak to drjohn marshall callahan, associate president of international relations at new england college. thank you very much forjoining us today. we have seen support for far right parties rise us today. we have seen support forfar right parties rise in a number of countries. but what do you think the reasons are? let's explore those in a bit more depth for this happening in germany given its history. absolutely, and thank you for having me. some of the things that were mentioned by the journalist, is absolutely true. a big catalyst for recent events has been immigration, and this goes back to the arab spring and the around 1 million immigrants primarily from the
8:38 pm
middle east who entered germany. and that whole process of how that went down under angela merkel really put some poison into german politics. and in fact even the alternative for germany and started out as sort of an academic based bureau sceptic party, then attacked hard to the right as a result of immigration and responsive to immigration and responsive to immigration to become what it is today, which is now polling as a second party in germany after the elections, the european parliament elections injune. european parliament elections in june. �* in june. and we saw the booing for olaf scholz _ in june. and we saw the booing for olaf scholz and _ in june. and we saw the booing for olaf scholz and jessica's - for olaf scholz and jessica's report also has he simply not been able to really try to persuade voters to stay away from those right—leaning parties? from those right-leaning arties? ~ from those right-leaning parties?— from those right-leaning arties? ~ , . f parties? well, yeah, they've failed pretty _ parties? well, yeah, they've failed pretty heavily - parties? well, yeah, they've failed pretty heavily in - parties? well, yeah, they've failed pretty heavily in a - parties? well, yeah, they've failed pretty heavily in a lotl failed pretty heavily in a lot of areas, and the olaf scholz
8:39 pm
administration, you know, scholz is not the leading light of it. the leading light is probably his foreign minister, so he is not the dominant guy and the party. and the party in the coalition are just living away from dominus altogether. it's worth saying that in the upcoming elections in september in saxony and turingia and remember, the second party is the traditional right—wing coalition in the third party is not the green party or the spd, it is a coalition of the far left. so where scholz and the spd is is a very good question. now even if the afd does win and in the state, it's polling short of a majority so it is unlikely to be able to form a state government partly because we know other parties are saying they would not work with them. what does that mean for
8:40 pm
them. what does that mean for the wider political landscape and the ability to form a coherent coalition? we know there are issues already with there are issues already with the three party coalition that chancellor scholz is in. yeah, that's awfully _ chancellor scholz is in. yeah, that's awfully right. _ chancellor scholz is in. yeah, that's awfully right. in - chancellor scholz is in. yeah, that's awfully right. in fact, i that's awfully right. in fact, working with the afd his coffee problems for the cdu in the past. in the 2019 electoral cycle, angela merkel�*s chosen successor fail because of perceived lack of party control over cdu elements that works with the afd. and so it's a big issue. and so what's at stake issue. and so what's at stake is in these three september elections in the east, you've got over 8 million voters voting. that's a percent of the population, and so what does that mean for the future? if the afd makes a strong showing in becomes dominant in those three states, then that's a percent of germany. now does that mean that nazis are
8:41 pm
coming? no, germany is farfrom a militant country. in fact, that's part of the issue is that's part of the issue is that germany is definitely not militant and it gives the afd both the far right and the far left sort of grist for the mill to argue for peace with russia, not supporting ukraine and the sorts of things.— sorts of things. ok, doctor callahan. _ sorts of things. ok, doctor callahan, appreciate - sorts of things. ok, doctor callahan, appreciate your i sorts of things. ok, doctor- callahan, appreciate your time this evening. thank you very much. . ~ this evening. thank you very much. ., ~ i. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.
8:42 pm
now, employees may get more rights when they request a four—day working week, as the government prepares a new package of reforms. it insists any changes won't be imposed on employers, but how do businesses feel about the idea? here's emma simpson. it's all quiet today on the factory floor of this small packaging firm in wigan. most of the workers are
8:43 pm
on a day off because they've worked four longer days instead of five. the office staff do them, too. when you're a busy working mum, to have that extra day when your children are all in school or college or uni, it's fantastic, it's a game—changerfor me. not every employer can do compressed hours, but it works for this one. factory work doesn't... you know, we don't have the ability for those in the factory to work from home. so just to be able to give a benefit and a different working pattern, such as the four—day week, is just an amazing thing that we've been able to do, and we're able to prove that this works. employees already have the right to request flexible working, including a four—day week. labour want to make this easier as part of a major overhaul of workers' rights. business groups say any changes have to be carefully thought through. if you do something -
8:44 pm
on the employment rights package that then hits economic growth or then makes it- harder to recruit people - and keep them in theirjobs, this is a real problem, . and the government has to really square that circle. and we want to be talking - to the government about how they get to do this right, without any inadvertent i consequences. how to get the work—life balance right. spotted in ibiza, deputy prime minister angela rayner. she's the one making all the moves on labour's shake—up of workers' rights. she's due back in parliament next week, along with other mps, when the much sought after details may soon come to light. emma simpson, bbc news. let's speak to jonathan berry, who is a managing director at tyler grange, an environmental consultancy firm that has already began trialing this four—day week. thank you very much forjoining us to talk about this story, so how is the trial going?- how is the trial going? yeah, it's going _ how is the trial going? yeah, it's going well. _ how is the trial going? yeah, it's going well. sadly -
8:45 pm
how is the trial going? yeah, it's going well. sadly i'm - how is the trial going? yeah, it's going well. sadly i'm not| it's going well. sadly i'm not in ib zip myself, i'm at home but for us the trial has been a real success. we are two years and now as a business, and for us we have seen a massive boost. in terms of our team productivity, it's up by 70%. absenteeism down over 60%. for us, we havejust become absenteeism down over 60%. for us, we have just become a smarter working, us, we have just become a smarterworking, more us, we have just become a smarter working, more efficient business. . �* , smarter working, more efficient business. ., �*, ., , business. that's really interesting _ business. that's really interesting because i business. that's really. interesting because i've written research it says actually if you move to a numerical four—day week, your productivity will likely go up. that's because your staff are happier, they're finding ways to be more efficient in the four data they are in the office or whatever the setting may be. is that what you are seeing? may be. is that what you are seeinu ? .. , ., ., seeing? exactly what we are seeina. seeing? exactly what we are seeing. really _ seeing? exactly what we are seeing. really important - seeing. really important emphasise that it's a challenging process. we did a lot of preparation. we took our team and our clients through that process, but is important you've got to innovate in your business. you get to do things differently. don't stick to how you've always done processes. you got to use technology, look
8:46 pm
at where you're wasting time as at where you're wasting time as a business and be less obsessed so how many days you're working and how efficiently you're working across that week. pare working across that week. are all our working across that week. are all your employees working the same number of hours and those four days as they did previously or are they working longer days?— longer days? no, we worked eiuht longer days? no, we worked eight hour— longer days? no, we worked eight hour days _ longer days? no, we worked eight hour days monday - longer days? no, we worked eight hour days monday to i eight hour days monday to thursday, everybody gets friday off and we have no loss of pay. so... i'm nota off and we have no loss of pay. so... i'm not a firm fan of compressed our photo i think they can actually in more stress and more sick leave and unhappiness and burnout because you're trying to do effectively what you were doing in five daysin what you were doing in five days in four. and that will never work in my opinion. you gotta do is look at your business, analyse in every way is the eye can we improve this can make it more efficient, echoing my people have a manageable workload over four days that they enjoy and that they stay healthy and therefore make the ford epic a success. and that's what we've done over two years really, and learned
8:47 pm
some lessons along the way but all in all it's been a huge success for us.— all in all it's been a huge success for us. you've learned some lessons. _ success for us. you've learned some lessons. have _ success for us. you've learned some lessons. have there - success for us. you've learned l some lessons. have there been any downsides and do you think this model will work for all types of businesses are not? i mean, i think the pandemic taught us a huge amount about flexible working and how we need to use technology to work faster and smarter and more flexibly. and so i think this was always on the horizon. i think we were up literally because of the pandemic, but most businesses will have processes or systems in their own organisation which are hugely out of date. they don't sort of look at the structure of the week as they should do. people want to work differently. people want to work flexibly. most businesses will be able to incorporate that in some way. yes, some businesses will have to deal with the differently over shift patterns or over a miracle to lease rather than one day off a week. but i think it was a responsible employer, you've got to look at all the options
8:48 pm
and see how you can enable your people to work efficiently, effectively and stay healthy. because we are seeing huge amounts of burnout and we are also seeing people not switching off. smartphones mean they are on duty 24—7 and we had to change that. they are on duty 24-7 and we had to change that.— they are on duty 24-7 and we had to change that. ok, really interesting — had to change that. ok, really interesting to _ had to change that. ok, really interesting to hear— had to change that. ok, really interesting to hear about - had to change that. ok, really interesting to hear about your| interesting to hear about your experience there. thank you very much. the swiss city of basel will host next year's eurovision song contest. geneva, which had been widely regarded as the favourite, was beaten by basel, a city in the north—west of the country. switzerland get to host the contest as they won this year's competition with the song the code performed by nemo. join to me is the president of the government of basel city. thank you forjoining me today. when he heard the news, what was your reaction? filth. when he heard the news, what was your reaction?— was your reaction? oh, i was overwhelmed. _ was your reaction? oh, i was overwhelmed. we _

8:57 pm
in from the south east will push a little bit further north into england and wales. still could be the odd shower around, particularly towards the south—west in the afternoon. a lot of places will be dry. we've got sunnier skies as you head further north across the uk. the winds will be a bit stronger, mind you, particularly across east anglia, the southeast and through the english channel. but with that sort of wind direction, it means this part of the country will be a little bit warmer. we're going to find temperatures getting into the low 20s for this area, and we could see a boost in those temperatures in the southeast as we see a bit more sunshine during the afternoon. and overnight, those temperatures aren't going to fall a great deal across southern areas. it could be a much more uncomfortable night for sleeping here. and that's because we're going to draw in a bit more warmth and humidity ahead of this weather front that's coming in from the atlantic. the high pressure slowly retreating across towards scandinavia. could be a few showers developing across some northern parts of england and east anglia with the threat of a few thunderstorms. and then, as we see a bit more sunshine across england and wales, we'll develop a few more of those storms into the afternoon.
8:58 pm
quite warm and humid air here. temperatures are going to be higher, peaking at 27, maybe 28 degrees. won't be quite as warm on sunday for scotland and northern ireland, because there'll be more cloud by this time. and this weather front will push its way in from the atlantic. but i think most of the rain is going to come ahead of that. we've got the potential for a plume of heavy rain and a lot of thunder and lightning. more towards the east coast of england, heading into easternmost parts of scotland. the weather front itself not producing much rain. and following on from that, there'll be sunshine in wales and the south—west, perhaps into northern ireland. here, things will turn a little cooler and fresher, but there's still some warmth for another day across some eastern parts of england.
