no no. i don't want to lectures under the governance of you term president and prime minister it would be an honest election and a regime change these are our demands they are very simple. for this opposition labor party says the prime minister should not bother putting her new cracks a plan to a 4th vote in parliament theresa may is offering him peace a chance to vote on whether to hold a 2nd or exit referendum to set out her latest plan for britain's departure from the e.u. telling politicians they have one last chance to deliver. m.p.'s have already rejected her withdrawal a clean up with the european union 3 times i've also listened carefully to those who've been arguing for a 2nd referendum i've made my own view on this clear on many many times i do not believe this is a route that we should take because i think we should be implementing the result of the 1st referendum not asking the british people to vote in a 2nd one but i recognise the genuine and sincere strength of feeling across the

house on this important issue the government will therefore include in the withdrawal agreement bill introduction a requirement to vote on whether to hold a 2nd referendum and this must take place before the withdrawal agreement can be rushed outside lawrence lee has more from london. by her own admission this is three's m a's one last chance so she put it in a speech to try to deliver some sort of breck's it's to try to deliver herself a legacy frankly but what she wants is a brick set that can appeal to as many people in this deeply divided parliament and deeply divided country as she can and so to that end she's obviously listen to all the different very loud voices across parliaments i find who want entirely different things from bracks it's and tried to bring them all together and say ok let's see if we can have a withdrawal bill that we can pass that brings all of these things in at once and so she's trying to appease the hardliners in her own party who want to ensure that

at some point the u.k. will be free from a customs union with the european union says that will have to be done by december 2020 that the northern irish part of the democratic unionists have been propping her up that there will be a same system nor nolen to the rest of the u.k. so the element be divorced so all that to appease them but she's trying to appease the labor party as well and those other much more moderate parties by saying don't worry we won't have a horrible american chicken in the u.k. afterwards will be environmental standards and most crucially of all she said to those m.p.'s on the labor party side if you pass my bill then we will have a confirmation referendum where the public will get to decide if they like it or if they don't presumably the u.k. then doesn't leave the european union it's all to ben p's like it's no they do not speak as much of it is absolutely hated there's no really big new idea in any of it's to try to move the process forward or the bracks there's

a saying we've heard all this no thanks very much the labor party side crucially those who won the 2nd referendum are saying well i'm on trees i'm a your saying these things but you're leaving office anyway in your successor could be a hardliner who will rip up the idea of a 2nd referendum completely so as an idea a week or 2 before this voted or a. pretty much dead in the water the craniums lied to the polls on july 21st after the new president announced a snap election. dissolve parliament on monday immediately after being sworn in the actor and comedian beat former president petro poroshenko in a runoff vote last month the early election will give selenski party the opportunity to win its 1st seats in parliament. when to support abortion rights have marched in cities across the u.s. in a show of force against conservative efforts to restrict the procedure. castro has more. well you got it i was right. c on the 100th anniversary of the house giving women the vote in the united states

women and abortion rights activists in cities across the country took to the streets to say their battle is not finished does anyone here think the women in this country will stay silent while our rights are being taken away from us. they march to protest abortion restrictions recently passed in conservative states 256 nays one alabama's new law is the most extreme it bans abortions except for when a woman's health is at risk making no exceptions for rape or incest this was a study we were a lot read on the fact we have the right in america and it says it's very important analysis which other great work by. more than a dozen other states are trying to make abortion illegal after a fetal heartbeat is detected as early as 6 weeks democratic leaders say such laws

are unconstitutional from alabama from a very good fact that you are republican but play truth are waking up there are going rabid are women's rights come in all right the state laws are not yet enforced they face court challenges that will likely escalate to the u.s. supreme court. where conservative activists have decided now is the time to challenge roe versus wade the landmark case that gave women the right to an abortion in 1973 elite relief of years. and i think. the supreme court has skewed to the right due to president trumps recent appointment of 2 conservative justices but there's no guarantee the court will intervene meanwhile the president has distanced himself from the. most restrictive abortion ban tweeting he's pro-life with 3 exceptions including rape and incest.

but these protesters say that's not enough they fear women's rights are eroding in america and are telling the supreme court now to protect their right to an abortion heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington. judges in france have forced doctors to resume life support for a man at the center of the debate over whether his life should be ended then sent lambert suffered severe brain damage in a motorcycle accident 11 years ago 42 year olds but on life support ever since after a request from his wife doctors agree to switch off life support equipment on monday but an appeals court has overturned their decision to toss about lor has more from paris. well as cases are very high profile one in france it's one that is a divided people across the country and it's actually torn apart his own family he's a 42 year old man in 2008 he had a motorbike accident and ever since he has been in a vegetative state in

parliament elections how will voting shape the future of the continent this is inside story. hello and welcome to this special edition of inside story from london on barbara sarah the world's 2nd largest democratic election starts on thursday voters and 28 countries will choose 751 members of the e.u. parliament immigration and the economy are dominating the political agenda and the rise of the far right is dominating the headlines mainstream politicians are calling for a united europe urging voters to reject right wing and populists candidates meanwhile far right leaders from nearly a dozen countries including france germany and the netherlands where initially on saturday in a show of unity the rally in milan was led by deputy prime minister met their son

vini who wants to form a powerful far right bloc within. parliament some analysts are saying the future of the european union is at stake we'll talk to our guests in just a moment 1st though this report from some of the in the the the. meaning italy's deputy prime minister an interior minister is hoping to upset the status quo during this european elections and he plans to do it with the help of euro skeptics and immigrant nationalists still bins are pulling crowds in ailing economies will be our more. we need to do everything that is right to free this country this continent from the illegal occupation organized by brussels. instead of traditional billboards and t.v. ads social media has been instrumental in getting the league's message across and making inroads into traditional left leaning cities such as milan and it found an

audience in the richer parts of northern italy where some relate to slogans such as why should we pay for others who don't contribute as much. and xander morelli has been bit salvini since the beginning he built a divided e.u. balls. into france decided to start a military operation against libya which caused very serious damage not only in italy but also in europe and europe today is totally divided and only exists for the interests of france and germany. many italians disagree with the populists and they have been protesting with thousands of homemade banners. the movement grew up to the government forcibly removed slogans from a balcony by using fire fighters the opponents this was one more manifestation of authoritarianism and fascism which they say is being peddled by the elite party. that. is beginning to make. this election has become more interesting than previous ones besides u.k.'s

brags of fame there's also a surge of populists across europe among them its least let yourself be populist policies about immigration an economy that's found in allies from germany to hungary and this new alliance wants to overhaul the european you. alexandra wrote a book about the rise of salvini 2015 he fears that a strong right wing alliance in the long run could mean the end of the european dream sounds like a benefit. beyond politics have been too far from people and too close to finance europe was not able to give real answers as it put too many limits on everything and there are many parts of the european population who felt the burden of the european union without feeling the advantages. of the european parliament consists of 751 amy pease representing more than 500000000 people from 28 countries the big

question is how many of them will give their backing to new alliance of far right european leaders. let's now introduce our guests they are finance expert that the most senior lecturer in european politics at the university of surrey and men and director of the u.k. in a changing europe initiative and a former special advisor to the house of lords e.u. committee and joining us from milan stefan of edge in an italian journalist who focuses on economics and foreign affairs and is also co-author of the black book of the leg gentlemen welcome all of you to insight story the finest expects of us if i can start with you were just seeing this report about that rally in milan led by matt taylor vini how likely do you think it is that a lot of these far right stroke populist parties across europe will be able to form a functioning coalition a functioning bloc within the european parliament this is the most important question because this is the 1st time that we've seen these parties cooperating

together usually they don't like each other they don't like to be associated with each other right wing nationalism has different sade's and for a lot of these parties across europe they have tried over time to create a more mainstream image about themselves to be able to attract more. mainstream voters rather than the extremes so they have traditionally they traditionally didn't like to to cooperate with each other but this time i think they're trying to to put together something that's more transnational in order to be able to tackle the issue of europe all of them have and the european feelings and sentiments and public discourse is so that helps them but at the end of the day how much they will be able to sustain this kind of alliance going forward inside the european parliament will remain to be seen and in men and what do you think using there's more they unites them than divides them. there are obviously things that unite them

they have common attitudes towards in particular the centrist political elites of in across europe now you're getting this rhetoric about mainstream politics being broken but of course. the fundamental paradox of these policies is that nationalist parties struggle to work runs nationally it's almost inherent in their d.n.a. that you know they will fight and if you take an issue like for instance immigration on the one hand yes they want lower immigration on the other hand they fight amongst themselves because the rights in italy one of the biases of the countries in the european union on taking enough of these people that come to europe and of course that's something they squabble amongst themselves about stuff and of it you know joining us from milan where of course that meeting to play took place led by mattel so the any who is not only the head of the lego but obviously they're pretty prime minister in in italy and it does look like his party well have the majority i mean how was he selling it this this union of the far right parties . well. this is saying that these elections are

very important for legal and for the european union and he's trying to gather together all the european far right parties. in order to change the european union that's what he's what he usually says i agree with mr mannion when it comes to to to propose how to change it. the parties these these far right parties are very diverse. among each other for example legal. self he's trying to to to push public spending in italy so the public will willing crees and last year they drafted a bill always which was expansionary. and later was criticised by a 50 which is its german ally now the european elections. and of course back to the studio so not funny segues

a duck to go to you i mean the timing wasn't great for much us of being in that meeting because on that very day we saw the eventual resignation of the vice chancellor in austria was a member of the far right party part of a coalition because of this videos thing that released that was showing effectively showing an offering government contracts to were supposedly russian oligarchs nice how that obviously damaging potentially maybe in austria but beyond that do you think people across europe will look at that and think actually we can't trust these far right parties when they get into government well the there have been equivalent reports for other parties around europe classic example is the golden dawn its members have been accused of murder they're participating in gangs prosecuting immigrants and so on on the streets they have gone to jail and still the support remains so we have to consider how much of an effect a leader has in driving support for the party and how much the ideology of the

party has infiltrated certain segments of the voters in order to convince them to stay on despite all these allegations so we need to to to to to see how how damaging it will be for the f.b.i. in austria but i don't think it will be that damaging for all the parties across europe and men and do you agree with that do you think that stuff like that actually has an impact on voters in other countries has an impact but on the particular issue of links with russia and we've got amir putin it depends on the country because of course in italy it's very mainstream berlusconi was a great friend of putin a didn't harm him in france you saw the scandal over the foreigners you know with bank loans from russians and again that didn't seem to resonate so on the one hand the opponents of these policies say they're dangerous that teaming up with our enemy but it doesn't seem to get that much residents among . opinion certainly not among supporters of these policies it doesn't seem to want

much and cut for the stefano that leads me to you because of course one of the issues in your book the black book of the lega was very much about potential financial links between russia and the league 1st of all explain to us what you said in your book and also what reaction there was to it initially when it was published which was only a few months ago. you know well. we revealed in the book that there was a negotiation on going at least from july 2018 until october 2018 to fund with the russian money when i say russian money the negotiation that we have evidence of was between an oil state owned oil owned company by a by the russian state or us and you have to and the toddy and state oil company would use any and i. so we witnessed a meeting of the métropole tale in moscow on october 18th 2018

where there was a soviet representative whose name is john lucas several unique. and something to me juries from from the russian from from from russia people that are deemed to be strictly living with with putin as inner circle so basically they were talking about selling rosneft selling 3000000 tons of diesel to any via an intermediary bank from the european union. on these on these amount of diesel they were discussing about having a 4 percent discount but in the end it was not any benefiting from the discount but legal this is what the people were saying and one of sylvania representative for russia was was there we didn't get any reply from them. and there wasn't much coverage of the issue in italy and since the publication of the book i

mean really have seen the leg a surge in the opinion polls that we think you know they could almost double what they had in the previous elections at these elections in italy specifically what do you think is behind the leg a success and then i'll ask all of our guests you know why they think populism is surging but starting with the stuff. well it's mainly the migrant issue that is very something. very very big for for italians at the moment. because of the flow of migrants that arrived in italy over the last 2 years and this is this is what so the need is always stressing so he's always focusing you speeches on the migrant issue by saying i'm the one who is going to solve it. in fact the number of arrivals have decreased dramatically i would say over the last 2 years. however the percentage of people that.

are going missing or are dying on the journey to eataly in the military and see these percentages is an increase i don't mean i'm looking at populism across europe is immigration really the main issue do you think immigration is one of the main issues yes i mean we've got to bear in mind that it's a different immigration issue in different states if you take britain what distinguishes ours was a very very sort of focused debates on e.u. citizens coming to the united kingdom brought to a referendum that's totally different to any other member state where the debate was about people coming from outside europe into europe but of course the other common theme i think is a sort of anti politics this notion that we hear from the brics it party in this country the mainstream politics is broken and that's one of the reasons why we have populism rising not just on the right but also on the left with radical green and radical left wing movements as well set to do well in these elections in the growing sense i think partly because of immigration partly because of the continuing after effects of the financial crisis and wage stagnation across europe

the politics is somehow broken and we need to have something new to fix it so final 6 that the loss of obviously in the eurozone there was also a terrible crisis which for many countries is still ongoing does that go hand in hand with the immigration issue of course is there at the end immigration are are the 2 key drivers especially in the south of europe. the fact that it was too much of german money pillay sion of the bailouts too much involvement in the mess the politics so there is a sense that the previous political elites who have agreed those bailout agreements who have agreed to a stare at the measures have failed what the people really need and this is one of the classic. this course is that populist parties use kind of divide between the previous corrupt elites and the pure people and this is the kind of vision that we see being reproduced over and over in political rallies from these parties and i

would agree with ron and there that it's coming both from the left and from the right but who latches onto which particular discourse depends on on on where they are situated so in which country so for example in greece the left wing message has been much more popular than the right wing message in italy this has not been the case so the mainstream parties have failed to capitalize on the concerns of the people and present the alternative discourses that that can potentially protect liberal democracies from the surge of the far right and focusing on bracks of course it does seem a bit absurd that nearly 3 years after this country voted to leave the e.u. here we are holding european elections i mean we hear a lot of the topics immigration as you mentioned earlier the economy the u.k. not part of the eurozone but such an enormous inequality that we see is only in here how would you differentiate a perhaps you think they're similar the populist movements that we have seen in

europe with the brakes a phenomenon that we've seen here which of course almost predates all of the big surges in europe well 1st the world is this is the only country where those anti european forces have significant support for leaving the european union what you see across populist movements in the rest of the e.u. is this remain in reform so i project salvini reform from within it. only in this you still want to leave oh absolutely and that's changed it changed very nicely in france as well a marine le pen changed message during the presidential campaign because that issue of leaving didn't give the resonance she wants and i think one of the reasons is because briggs has proven so difficult if you're a citizen a friend sort of italy you're watching what's happening in britain and you're thinking if we try to leave not only will we have that but we need to get a new currency as well the difficulties of leaving have become very very clear i think so in that sense we're slightly different to the other member states because the desire to leave was a lot stronger i think amongst the british people than it is among the people in the member states so stefano very janet what impact do you think of bracks that the

bait and the fact that the u.k. as we've been hearing still hasn't really managed to leave what impact has that had on the electorate in italy do they really talk about it does legate for example use it as you know as an example of a country can lead to follow. oh well the short answer is no in the sense that it's . brought suit from the from the media and from the politicians is deemed to be a separate issue from the european union issue. so the debate here is more about. the migration as it was mentioned before and on the budget and the fact that italy should spend more public money in order to boost the economy we're as the european union as they see the elites in brussels are more strict and don't want to us to spend money and in our economy to grow this is mainly what. the league and the 5 star movement are saying. before we spoke about

you know potential of russian links with the leg steve bannon as well transformer chief strategist has made no secret that he wants to support us led the union does that have an impact in a country like italy.
