pati a big national party mine are. popping pollution that is the 5 star movement as you said before and quickly this goes to show about what his ambitions are about the why de european alliance that he's creating middle of the far right has been met us out of a nice championing their cause do you think that he's been able to disrupt and will be able to achieve this new europe that he's been promising his voters while this is the ambition of moto salvini n b c's the ambition of the populist wave in europe but actually. the numbers are not so encouraging for them i mean populist bodies in europe have gained of course as compared to previous election. mainstream pop days so the european peoples party the liberal arts and the social democrats. able to do from together a majority within the parliament and so they would be probably did to the most the
12:01 am
best candidate to to give to the new commission that would be in fact a new goal of a man of the european union so behind the ambition of the populace probably they were born much pace from then to these dropped politics that's my feeling thank you very much david and juji join joining us there and that seems to be the sentiment among many academics that we've been speaking to today that yes they have been able to rise on the far right off the political spectrum they've been able to gain their numbers the highest in the european parliament but what will they be able to achieve remains to be seen because still the euro euro centric and of the right of center parties still maintain their majority all right sir simon job thank you for the u.k. or the new brics party west triumphant capsulize ing on public. anger over the
12:02 am
country saw the parts here from the e.u. but it was also a good night for parties that campaign to remain a member of the block as lawrence lee reports from london the breath. until you can think of. a woman reading there was only one winner in the petition lection nigel farage invigorated those voters who feel betrayed at bret's it's not having happened he's single issue brix it policy when just over 30 percent of the votes most of it's at the expense of the conservative policy this is a vote that says no deal breaks it back on the table make it part of our negotiations because without that you've got no chance of getting a sensible free trade deal but i want us as the brakes at party to be engaged in that but it's also a vote that says the 31st of october is the but next really big day in this process if we don't leave on that day then you can expect the exit party to repeat this kind of surprise in the next general and such was the collapse in support for the
12:03 am
conservatives in the wake of sarees amazed resignation that they came out with the worst results in their history negotiated deal is now dead policy by its own admission in an existential crisis the main opposition labor party suffered too because of jeremy coleman's continued prevarication over whether or not he supports bricks in the aftermath he gave an indication he might now be prepared to support a new referendum what this party does. he supports an agreement with the european union to prevent crushing out supports putting that proposal when agreed to a public backed labor's infighting led directly to a surge in support for the greens and liberal democrats the total vote for parties which supports not leaving the european union at all was over 40 percent so they could say they won as well the number of votes the fact that more people have supported remain parties if you count us as the lead remaining party and then
12:04 am
greens and change u.k. add those votes together more people have supported us and supported the bracks it party the government has to listen there is one piece of common ground between the brics that party and its pro european opponents all of which outflanked labor and the conservatives they're all demanding electoral reform the traditional 2 party system of politics in this country is now under enormous strain and i hope that this will be a sign to the conservatives and the labor party that we need to have a proportional system and i truly believe when you look at those 2 parties there is more than one party sitting under the same umbrella and what they need to heal their own divisions it's be able to be true about who they are it's individual policies on the left and right of their own parties and if we had a proportional system that would give them the opportunity to do that while sitting still and labor or conservative it to achieve people is now demanding to be part
12:05 am
of any new bracks in the go see asian he's pro european opponents are demanding another referendum the main part is a lost traditional politics here is in meltdown. al-jazeera in london. austria chancellor sebastian kurtz just lost a vote of no confidence opposition parties joined forces to remove him from office over a corruption scandal that brought down his right wing government persons party though still there well in the european elections live to dominic cain here is joining us from vienna this just happening a few moments ago talk us through what happened. so during you have to see today through the prism of 10 days a pressure that's ratcheted up on mr kurtz on his party and on his previous coalition partners the far right freedom party viewers might recall seeing the video that emerged the weekend before last of several of the leading members of that party apparently in detailed conversations with
12:06 am
a russian lady on the spanish island of it in 2017 where they spoke about measures that could be taken to increase the influence of russian government has in austria but acquiring newspapers and then changing the editorial line of the newspapers to support russia will that party the freedom party was forced out of its seats in cabinet last week today was about the parliament forcing mr courts and his party out of government so all the seats that he with his party would normally occupy on the government benches behind me in parliament or the now empty and so what's happening right now is that politicians left parliament talking to the media and also mentally preparing themselves for an election campaign which might come a lot sooner than they thought it was expected that there would be elections to be held in september well now it's for the president of austria to decide whether he wants those elections to happen much sooner so is that what we should be looking out for next dominic what happens next. yes
12:07 am
or yes the ring we should look at for elections to happen next but there's a big kaviak here and it's rather bizarre in one sense that mr courts is a vote winner in the austrian sense of election winning because he won yesterday's european elections in austria getting 3435 percent of the vote far ahead of his nearest rivals the social democrats and indeed the head of the freedom party his his former allies who conspired as it were against him today to kick his party out of office so if those elections come soon well vote loser today but potentially a vote winner in those elections whenever they come and that was hanging over the debate taking place today the unlikely spectacle of seeing far right politicians who until just a week or so ago were allies in government with mr kurtz denouncing him and his party and then having social democrat politicians who really do not see eye to eye
12:08 am
with the freedom party on anything else effectively saying the same thing about the chancellor but knowing at the back of their minds that in election performances they do not do as well as mr courts so we have this bizarre thought that he's been kicked out by parties today but within the space of perhaps a few weeks certainly a few months he might be winning an election coming back and having to negotiate a coalition with the very same partners partners who just voted him out all right thank you to greece and the greek prime minister alexis tsipras those called early elections stung by a heavy defeat for this party in the european vote they finished well behind the center right new democratic party suppress has been damaged by austerity policies and an unpopular name deal with neighboring north macedonia. moving to other news now and donald trump says the united states is not looking for
12:09 am
regime change in iran the u.s. president made the comments during his 4 day trip to japan when he reports from tokyo. with a handshake donald trump received a historic on or in the imperial palace in tokyo the u.s. president became the 1st foreign leader to meet japan's new emperor. the beating was seen as a symbol of the strong relations between the 2 countries after a bilateral meeting with japan's prime minister shinzo up their attention turned from an ally to a foe with the u.s. president saying he's not seeking regime change in iran and i'm not looking that hurt iran at all i'm looking to have iran say no nuclear weapons we have enough problems in this world right now with nuclear weapons no nuclear weapons for and i think will make a deal i think iran again i think iran has tremendous economic potential it was a softer tone from trump after weeks of increasing tension following the reimposition of sanctions on iran because of its nuclear development. pains prime
12:10 am
minister is considering a trip to tehran next month and has offered to mediate in the dispute donald trump didn't publicly respond to that office specifically but supports the idea of going to iran pushing this visit has been all about relationship building but given that donald trump can sometimes be an unpredictable president he may well be nervous that a lot of his hard work could be easily undone particularly on the key issues of trade and security. with no significant announcement on trade there will inevitably be more tension over the large trade deficit the united states has with japan and the 2 leaders have different opinions on north korea's 2 missile tests earlier this month. donald trump says he wasn't concerned by them while she says they violated united nations security council resolutions. but they agreed to work together on
12:11 am
the issue of japanese people abducted by north korea in the 1970 s. and eighty's as they met their relatives there are many still unaccounted for and prime minister said getting them back is a priority. that the had always trump brought to the abduction issue with north korean leader kim and told him my thoughts president trump is making diplomatic efforts and mine with you. wants to be directly involved in that diplomacy by meeting the north korean leader donald trump says he supports the initiative wayne hey al jazeera tokyo meanwhile iran's deputy foreign minister has been speaking about the tensions with the u.s. while visiting a gulf neighbor. during his visit with senior leaders iran's deputy foreign minister abbas iraq he said the countries in the middle east are all connected and so u.s. sanctions on iran are bad for everyone because they put the security of the entire region at risk he also reiterated an idea that iran's foreign ministry has been
12:12 am
pitching for some time now a regional non-aggression pact between iran and its arab neighbors that would strengthen regional trust and diminish the role of the united states in the middle east iraq his comments came as u.s. president donald trump said he remains open to talks with iran to make some kind of a fresh deal but iranian leaders are likely to see the softer rhetoric from trump as insincere pointing to aggressive economic sanctions and a military buildup in the region as the true measures of american intentions towards iran experts say in the absence of any real goals talking with the united states would be just for the sake of talking so as long as a reduction of sanctions remains highly unlikely iranian leaders are. due to maintain the policy of not negotiating with the trump white house one former commander of the islamic revolutionary guard corps said there is a slim chance that a u.s. return to the 2050 nuclear deal could bring iran back to the negotiating table but
12:13 am
for the moment iranian leaders are focusing their diplomatic energy on reaching out to regional partners to try to strike up some kind of security cooperation that endeavors to elbow out the united states it's memorial day in the united states when americans on are the military servicemen and women killed on duty but not all those who serve in the u.s. military are american born around $40000.00 immigrants in military service are hoping to earn u.s. citizenship but the government's program is being scaled back is ok astro explains why from washington ok in. every year thousands of immigrants pledge their allegiance to the united states to become new americans. it's a moment baba cain longs for he left senegal 10 years ago to study computer science in virginia after earning several degrees he decided to enlist in the army in 2016
12:14 am
through a program called magdy that allows non u.s. citizens for in the country legally to join the military and immediately apply for citizenship it has always been like a dream of mine for me to. serve this country. but i figured this was the best opportunity for me to do that the army was looking for french speakers from africa at a time when terrorism threats were growing in the region kane says he can fill that role but it's been 3 years since he enlisted and he still waiting to ship to basic training. the pentagon in 2017 announced major changes to the way non-citizens are recruited and leading to long delays there's a good. crn that mommy retreats maybe security threats to the u.s. are you a national security rest of the united states no i don't think so i don't think that the national security of this i don't have any problems i don't have any.
12:15 am
issues with the law or anything. retired major general paul eaton led the u.s. army effort to train the iraqi military in the early 2000 he says at a time when the u.s. military is struggling to meet recruitment goals welcoming immigrants to serve is essential they tend to be very high performers they tend to be. language important they tend to be ambassadors from. their birth country and all that weaves into a picture of a young man or young woman who is who has a lot to contribute to the armed forces of the united states but a growing number of immigrants soldiers are denied citizenship even after reporting for duty it's become harder and harder for foreign born u.s. military recruits to become citizens of the country they now serve in fact recent
12:16 am
government figures show that 16 per cent of immigrants soldiers are denied a u.s. citizenship that is higher than the 11 percent denial rate for immigrant civilians kane says he wants to be a u.s. citizen but he chose joining the military over sponsorship through work because he wants to give something back to the country he hopes to one day call his own he doesn't know if that day will ever come heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington still ahead in this news hour we'll look at why most of the sick and injured in afghanistan choose to travel to hospital by taxi rather than ambulance also. i'm up watching inventing and out. reporting on this country's efforts to get that precious stone artifacts taken in the colonial era. and milking it for the indianapolis 500008 champion for an old details coming up

12:20 am
hello again the top stories on al-jazeera this hour voters across europe have dealt a blow through traditional central politicians in parliamentary elections the populist far right saw surge and support but the liberals on the greens also added more seats. chancellor sebastian curt's has lost a vote of no confidence opposition parties joined forces to remove him from office over a corruption scandal that brought down his right wing government donald trump says the united states is not seeking regime change in iran the u.s. president reiterated his willingness to talk with iranian leaders and have a deal on nuclear weapons during his 4 day visit. here is a 4 have pushed yemen which was already one of the poorest arab states to the brink of famine for the hundreds of thousands of people now living in makeshift homes the situation is becoming increasingly desperate victoria gate b reports on one woman's
12:21 am
cry for help. this yemeni mother has 10 children to feed and this is where they live in a makeshift camp for internally displaced people in the remade had to provence in northern yemen all i guess about that we're living under a tree and we don't have anything there snakes which we're scared of yesterday we had to kill one back got too close i struggle for my children i begged so that i could actually. fighting between pro heathy forces and fighters backed by the saudi u.a.e. coalition has intensified in the province in the past 2 months around 420000 yemenis forced from their homes living in hundreds of makeshift settlements such as this. and the numbers keep rising on this campus in a very bad condition some people have received food aid packages and others of not some people have received tents and others still have to live under the trees the situation is similar to that of homeless people who don't have any found. aid is
12:22 am
trickling in 3 her day deport the gateway for 80 percent of yemen's food and humanitarian assistance but hope generated by the huge the withdrawal from the city earlier this month is fading. this fighting on the outskirts raising concerns of the deepening humanitarian crisis growing even worse. families such as she feet is a struggling to survive and the chances of aid agencies reaching their remote mountain camps appear to be fading victoria gayton be al jazeera let's speak to sort on a bag and she's joining us from she's an advocacy manager for the norwegian refugee council in yemen thanks very much for speaking to us on al-jazeera so this is a situation like shafiq us in that report in which many families find themselves in and you say that more than 20000000 people across the country are now hungry basically one step away from famine but it seems like the situation is just getting
12:23 am
worse. yes i think you know ramadan it's usually a very special time in yemen a time where people thought to remember those that go without but in yemen what we're seeing is the hunger it's a constant every day look reality of people and this is the full. yemeni suspending under this brutal wall so the norwegian refugee council who i work with providing food cash water shelter different parts of yemen. the people we're supporting it's having a they've got very little to celebrate this for. the war is intensifying in many parts of the country every day we have stories of people. from rights shelling gladwyne they tell us. they're hungry and they're worried. things won't get any better they've been this is a bad they've ever had it and i suppose it's important to know that even before the
12:24 am
escalation of this war the country imported 90 percent of fit staple food as well as nearly all of its fuel or medicine so how would you describe the effect that the sort of intermittent closures of border crossings ports and airports have had on the people. i mean ploy years of war which has included that you've highlighted blockade and the restriction on your medicine and other goods coming into the country you have to destroyed you haven't economy what it's also man is that it's created shortages of essential basic goods that people need and it guy rocketed prices for food and other goods so for example an average shopping basket is $102.00 times higher than before the wall and with ramadan now the prices have gone even higher the sad fact is the vegetables the sweet the not delicious food in the shops to break your fast with the too many yemenis they simply can't afford to
12:25 am
afford the food and they're going to bed hungry and then not only that you know it had a knock on effect. so the war has meant that many. health workers civil servants in the north of the country haven't been paid. so this is mean you know people have sold off. their land their animals everything to survive so what we're seeing now is the streets of plan are full of women and children who have baggy small items to make enough money to keep their families and organizations like yours continue to call for the scaling up of humanitarian assistance call for donors to give more money this crisis is under funded why do you think that is. i think this quite i think this crisis is underfunded because there may be bit of that in terms of this war going on for
12:26 am
a very very long time for you know the gale of the crisis means you know we've been asking for over 4000000000 this year i think that many don't of don't want to come forward with huge sums of money because the main donors of. humanitarian response have also been the countries that have been directly involved in this also saudi arabia the u.a.e. but also other countries like the u.k. and the u.s. and others who have been funding it so you know we really i think the current humanitarian response is only 20 percent. of there was a big donor conference which happened in february but the money just isn't coming through yet more and more people are getting to. the needs are getting bigger and bigger so really urging the government and the international community to do everything they can to support the yemenis on
12:27 am
a big when we think you for speaking to us from sun up thank you dozens of passengers are missing or feared drowned after a crowded boat sank in the democratic republic of congo at least 30 people died in mind around $180.00 survived the disaster on saturday night it's thought the boat was ferrying 350 passengers and some were teachers travelling to collect their salaries welcome while there is monitoring developments from kampala the neighboring uganda. dozens of bodies have been pulled from the water dozens more still missing and it's unlikely at this stage that survivors will still be found in the water more than 24 hours after the boat sank survivors say that it was overloaded with cargo and with people and that's common for boats on congo's many waterways on the rivers and the lakes which are crucial for connecting up the interior of the country with little infrastructure many of the roads are only possible on
12:28 am
a motorbike and it gets even difficult to pass them after heavy rains so the waterways are crucial also there's a lot of poverty so overloading from the point of view of boat crews is a way to get a little extra desperately needed income and to the point of view of passengers it's just the only means to get around to carry out their business and in the case of many of the passengers on this boat they were teachers going to collect their monthly salary which is essential of course for their survival as well when the boat sank soldiers who were posted around the lake went to try and rescue some of those who had survived they didn't have any proper military boats they're using small wooden boats the same kind that are used by the fishermen in the villages that live around the lake itself. lake mind also prone to choppy waters big waves and heavy tropical storms so even losing engine power on the lake for a few minutes in an overloaded boat can come with substantial risk these kinds of

accidents aren't common. sudan's military council has held talks with the crown prince of the united arab emirates as protests continue back in hard to. visit abu dhabi where mohammed bin zayed offered his support the trip followers were hands meeting with egypt's president on saturday move that anger protestors in sudan who are worried about foreign interference in the country's transition to civilian rule . ambulances in the afghan capital of kabul are renowned for their fast response to attacks but little else most people needing to get to hospital take a taxi to find out why. income an explosion or gunfire is followed by. police military and ambulances racing towards the attack nurses and drivers without protection bury the dead and wounded ta spittles despite the danger and. it is natural to be worried everyone is scared of places where
12:30 am
there are attacks but it's our job and we have to get to the place and do our duty there is always a nurse in a drivers seat to a cool despite responding to more than 50 attacks since the ambulance services created in 2002 they haven't had any staff members killed or injured. this is what the kabul ambulance service is known for what it is not known for its transporting other patients to hospitals those not victims of attacks. there's a lack of awareness about ambulances and how to use them it's a free service for everyone and they don't understand there's a nurse and driver and we can take them free. on the lack of awareness there's also a capacity issue. the carboy ambulance service has just $29.00 says for $5000000.00 people it says its response time is usually less than 20 minutes but it
12:31 am
can be up to an hour and a half to get ambulances a facing further delays after the taliban day tonight had one packed with explosives in central kabul last january well 100 people were killed ambulances another search to check points. it means most afghans choose to use a taxi rather than call for an ambulance everyone in this intensive care unit was 1st brought to hospital by a taxi. was admitted unconscious with renal failure also a year ago. i was feeling pain in my body and i was in trouble when i was travelling here by taxi i was not able to sit up properly i was in a lot of pain etc most of the patients were brought here by taxi or in a serious condition coming in a taxi the patient loses 50 percent of the chance to recover because they come from a long distance without oxygen. and it's not a problem limited to the capital kabul ambulance service has 50 vehicles in 3

12:34 am
normal we could use them in operations the problem is that in this case the cars are too expensive for us to use we have to keep them and it requires a big investment to keep them i. accusations of corruptions were rampant during the previous administration but he came to power in 2015 with a promise to fight it but he was also. investigated because his name appeared in the panama papers machree is the son of a once powerful businessman who also had dealings with the argentine state. never mind the political part there are within the political establishment links that transcend the party and mix business and political classes and many of them want all the corruption investigations to be closed because many many are in court . precedent mackley basta decrease so the government can sell the
12:35 am
confiscated corruption items but for now it has not been implemented. the degree needs to be controlled by congress and congress rejected it the decree is unconstitutional i think fighting criminal organizations require us to address and limit to new methods but it has to go through congress and all political forces should be on the same side. but it's an election year we know argentina and for now many in the opposition say the law will have to wait. and. be in says it's working with france to bring home process artifact stolen during the colonial era but there are concerns about what will happen to the items once they arrive. reports. this is what remains of the palace of what was once the most powerful kingdom in french speaking africa we were given rare access to the album a palace of 48 hector maze of compounds rich in history and culture dating back
