it ended parliament for the first time as germany's monday starts off in a similar kind largest opposition party. part of a new wave of nationalism, of vein weather wise. populism is spreading across europe. a lot of cloud around the party has capitalised and we will see some showers on the migrant crisis of 2015 building, particularly through the afternoon, and on angela merkel‘s decision some of those heavy and thundery. to take in over a million refugees. it could occur almost anywhere. i'm heading to leipzig in former east germany, some heavy ones for northern ireland where the party has as we go through the afternoon. in between, the wind is very light. in any sunshine temperatures coming up. showery over the next few days. the most support. highs of 17 in edinburgh and i9 for cardiff, and into the low 20s around the greater london area. but then towards the end of the week probably thickening cloud julian? thank you. threatening rain for some of us julian runs the youth wing here. and the winds picking up as well. are these your posters that have that's your latest weather. been graffitied out on the street? goodbye for now. deutsch. . . ? deutschland verrecke. what does this mean? uh, "die, germany!" we here have a big left scene here in leipzig, and yeah, they don't like us. we went to the afd's election launch. something they said there was that germany had been colonised by islam, colonised by africa, you agree with that? your opponents call you racist. these views make many here bristle, germans are acutely aware

of their past and some find the parallels deeply troubling. francisca left the afd concerned it was becoming more extreme. these views make many here bristle, germans are acutely aware of their past and some find the parallels deeply troubling. francisca left the afd concerned it was becoming more extreme. the most extreme ideology is that there are good persons and bad persons, not because of their behaviour, but of their genetic code. and if you are arabic, then you are worth less than a good, white german. that ideology exists? this is bbc news, the headlines: far—right ideas are gathering australia's governing centre right coalition could just manage momentum in germany, to win a surprise majority but what happens when in the general election. with a few seats yet to declare, scott morrison's liberal national party are just two the populists have the power? short of the 76 needed

to control parliament. the leader of the opposition labour party, bill shorten, has admitted defeat. austria will have a snap election. hungary is the country so many in a national tv address, these parties look up to. the country's chancellor, led for almost a decade sebastian kurz, said the latest by the ardent nationalist corruption allegations viktor orban. against the leader of the far—right here, eu election posters tell freedom party had been people to support his long—running the last straw. plan to stop immigration. he was caught on video allegedly making promises to a russian investor in return for political support. the netherlands has won this year's eurovision song contest. duncan laurence, with his song arcade, was the bookmaker‘s favourite to win. italy came second and russia third. the uk entry, came last, instead, orban supports withjust 16 points. the songfestival, held in israel, also featured a guest appearance by madonna. large families. hungarians take their swimming very seriously, a few more so than the gabbel family. now on bbc news, this week's our world looks —— few more so than at the rise of the right in europe. the gabbel family.

across europe, the far right is on the rise, taking on governments, promising to end migration and shake up the eu. i don't want to be part of the minority in my own country. are these parties fueling hate? i think their aims are absolutely dangerous. the family are just as passionate about their government, orban's party has absolute popular support here in hungary and absolute i'm jean mackenzie and i'm majority in government. travelling through the continent to try and understand their success. meeting people behind the movements, and those fighting to stop them. the couple have benefited from a government scheme that gives we march for europe. let's go. money to families with with european elections up ahead, three children or more. a nationalist alliance is forming. they are saying we are living in a dictatorship, that there is less and less freedom day by day.

will this change europe as we know it? the country orban built is deeply divided, with the prime minister a saturday evening in april, and amidst tight security, germany's far—right party, the afd, accused of corruption and eroding the alternative for deutschland, kicks off its campaign. support for the afd exploded during the german national elections 00:04:24,194 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 18 months ago. people's democratic rights. here in the village of kubekhaza, the mayor is one of the leader's most outspoken critics. the government has stopped you money? what has viktor orban changed in this country since he took power?

across europe, far—right populist parties are tapping into a deep—rooted dissatisfaction, appealing to people who feel they've been ignored. i'm in one of the most rural parts of estonia, the far—right party ekre has just surged here in a surprising election.

and i've come to meet a farmer and fisherman who voted for them. live out here jars with the country's recent success. after decades of soviet rule, estonia's economy is finally booming — s haven for start—ups and new technology. —— a haven for start—ups and new technology. liberal values now well—established. but today, they're being tested. the far right‘s success has just bought them a place in government, part of a new coalition. known for their racist remarks, the party campaigned to end same—sex marriage and free abortions. it's attacked doctors, immigrants, judges and journalists.

and as its leaders are sworn into power, they give the white nationalist salute. are you excited that ekre is now in government? these nationalist far—right parties are surging across europe. when we see them successful in one country, then voters in other countries say ok, well, if these parties are successful here, then that is fine. they are ok to vote for. there is a so—called domino effect. they have a common enemy, the eu. with elections up ahead, they've sensed an opportunity to work together.

these parties are now saying we want to revolt from within. we want to get in the european parliament in order to change europe and take europe to a direction that nationalist parties would be happy with. they are creating a new far—right bloc in the european parliament to be led by italy's deputy prime minister, matteo salvini. top of the list of things to change — europe's stance on immigration. hungary was at the forefront of the refugee crisis is a route into the eu. most people were just passing through, but within weeks, orban built a fence to get them out. ever since migrants have been the enemy here. still the target in his election campaign.

these posters are absolutely everywhere. voters are being bombarded with this message to stop migration. and this is a country where last year, there were fewer than 700 asylum seekers. back in the border town of kubekhaza, i'm taken to where the fence begins — hungary's border with serbia and rumania. here, it acts as little more than a symbolic gesture. it's just this bit. this is a propaganda tv. every day, every minute. this is state tv? yeah, yeah, yeah. most of hungary's media has some

link to the government and migrant stories are constantly in the news. what do you hear on the news about what is happening in western europe?

similar messages are being pushed out by populist parties across europe. when fra nziska worked for the afd in germany, it was herjob to produce this content. i worked, for example, in press information and they say, "that's not strong enough, fix it a little bit. "be creative." i would say, "ok, that's not correct anymore." "you will find the solution." so they know, do they, that they are lying to people? the politicians, yes. the members, not. that is the problem. everything the afd tells them is absolutely right.

some of the information that afd has put out on social media channels, particularly when it comes to statistics relating to foreigners or migrants, has been proven to be incorrect. there was one which said that migrant rapes in bavaria had gone up 91% in a year. that was proven to be incorrect. this here. rapes increased because of refugees. have you ever given out incorrect information to make a political point? in a short space of time,

the afd have changed the conversation around migration in germany and there are concerns this is emboldening more extreme groups. nationalist ideas are becoming more and more prominent. it's becoming more and more legitimate to openly express them and that opens pandora's box. this is alex, an activist in the far right group in europe generation identity. while they share the afd's ideas on immigration, some of their ideas are more extreme. banned on facebook, they share their message on youtube. it's now emerged that the man behind the christchurch mosque shootings donated to them. yesterday we made a video about self—tattooing. not looking really pretty but it's just the period, you know? we say ok, germany shall be the country of the natives. let's start a re—migration. that means everybody that is not

allowed to be in germany, then he has to go back. we are taken to their headquarters. i am jean, nice to meet you. what do you mean by that? generation identity is currently being monitored by intelligence services and i want to ask alex about his group's links to the new zealand shootings. what happened in christchurch was really terrible. it's got nothing to do with generation identity. but some of the ideas you promote about migration and about migrants not necessarily belonging, can you not see that they might lead to some people acting out violently

towards those people? if a freak takes ideas from every, every area that he can find, then it's not the idea. the problem is the freak. the hungarian prime minister has waged war with the eu. but his nationalist vision for the country is alienating many young hungarians. in budapest, i meet with this young woman who grew up here. everything has gone wrong in the last few years. i feel fascinated and sad a lot and that's why i think it's difficult to live here. i have so many friends and most of them live in copenhagen, amsterdam, london. they've left hungary? yeah. hundreds of thousands of young people have left hungary since viktor orban came to power and many of the protests in budapest have been defaced. stop immigration, they now read.

i'm thinking about moving to another country. i'm actually not considering to raise a kid here. hungary is not seen as a democratic country anymore. no. i have my right to vote but when i go to vote, it isn't worth that much. the minority who sees the word and knows that things can be different. i shouldn't be driven away from here. we certainly have fear that basically the country or the government is forcing me to move somewhere else but of course, i also care about the country and i feel like people should also stay here and try to do something. europe stands by your side. we stand by your side. you are not alone.

15 years to the day that hungary joined the eu and the fight is on. the country has a new young opposition. we decided to do a march standing up for the values, european values. i would say we are not living in a dictatorship but there is less and less people expect freedom day by day. a lot of people live in fear. if they speak up, they are going to lose theirjob. if they go to a demonstration, their family will be harassed, their businesses will shut down. we much more progress, for unity. we much for europe. let's go. the key for the populace is that they act upon the fears and emotions of the people, especially those ones who disagree with the system and you have a right to be afraid, you have a right

to hate what is happening around you but those populist answers, will not solve your problems. still shaken by the recent election, in tallinn, there is a more gentle protest. entrepreneur karoli has staged this concert hoping to heal some of the country's wounds. what is happening in the world in general is a very strong identity crisis, people who have been more left behind whose voices have not been heard, have somehow found their voice in populism. i think we need to work together, not to oppose and say 100,000 people who voted for one party somehow made a wrong choice, but what drove them there and how to get the results back. do you worry that some of the extreme language,

more extreme policies, could be divisive and dangerous for estonia? as i spend more time with indrek, it becomes clear he disagrees with some of his party's hard—line viewers. if you don't like the extreme side of the party and some of the things it stands for and is doing to estonia, why do you still support it? much of the support for the far right in europe began as a protest by those who felt they had nowhere else to turn. but as nationalism gathers momentum across the continent, it threatens to shake the european union to its core. the line between what is mainstream

and what is extreme is no longer clear—cut and that is the biggest danger for our liberal democracies. how would you like germany to change? are you proud to be german? yeah. to be proud about your country is something that for me doesn't make any sense at all. i can't be proud of being hungarian and because i can't be proud of having blue eyes or whatever. what does it mean to you to be german?

hello there. many of us had a pretty cloudy day yesterday weather wise. it was in scotland and northern ireland where the weather wasn't just cloudy, it turned out to be quite wet and cool. the skies looked like this. further south, the cloud did breakup. we got a little bit of sunshine. but that just sent these big shower clouds towering up through the skies around in the greater london area. the radar picture still shows we have patches of rain around across parts of scotland, northern ireland as well. but the showers we had across england and wales have largely cleared out of the way. that said, you can still see some passing showers working

into the coastline of sussex and kent over the next few hours. further north, that's where the cloudiest weather will be. there will also be mist and fog patches around in the next few hours across eastern scotland into northern part of northern ireland, particularly into the hills. and perhaps across parts of the east midlands and east anglia turning quite murky as well. all in all, for sunday morning, it's a cloudy, grey start to the day one way or the other. the cloud will slowly break to give some bright or sunny spells. but as the weather tries to brighten up, and it will be a slow process across scotland and northern ireland, we will start to see some showers breakup. the showers mostly really get going as we head through sunday afternoon. they will come along in batches. across eastern scotland showers are quite widespread. a few over the mountains elsewhere as well. inbetween those downpours, a bit more brightness, it won't feel quite as cool with temperatures up to 16 in glasgow. a few showers popping up in northern ireland as well.

for wales and western areas of england, i fancy it will be a largely dry day. but there will be a line of heavy showers working in across the midlands, central and southern england, and parts of southern england as well. those showers heavy, thundery, and slow—moving in nature. beyond that, for the week ahead, we will continue to see showers through monday and tuesday as well. some sunshine between. but later in the week low pressure will bring some slightly stronger winds and the threat of some rain. monday starts off in a similar kind of vein weather wise. a lot of cloud around and we will see some showers building, particularly through the afternoon, some of those heavy and thuggery. it could occur almost anywhere. some heavy ones for northern ireland as we go through the afternoon. in between, the wind is very light. in any sunshine temperatures coming up. showery over the next few days. highs of 17 in edinburgh and 19 for cardiff, and into the low 20s around the greater london area. but then towards the end of the week probably thickening cloud threatening rain for some of us and the winds picking up as well. that's your latest weather. goodbye for now.
