tipped to become chancellor his people's party has taken a hard line against refugees in the run up to the vote is widely expected to go into government with the far right freedom party which has campaigned on an anti me gratian anti islam platform. we'll speak to our correspondent in the capital vienna in just a moment but first here's how immigration has shaped the election campaign thirty one year old sebastian courts only became leader of the people's party in may since then besides economic reform he's made immigration the cornerstone of his election campaign we've got big guns and i'm going to strike a very clear path which is going to reduce illegal migration to zero who sets off illegally must be stopped at the border taken care of and sent back it can't be that the traffickers decide who gets through and not we as a republic or the european union. his views echo those of the anti immigrant far

right freedom party. indiscriminate mass immigration from outside europe naturally islamist terror into the heart of europe seals. and what we have now is that through the many associations structures and mosques there is such a tenacious dangerous structure that i say ban the radical islamic organizations mosques and kindergartens and expel their members i'm sure. his words have found favor with austrians who fear their country is losing its national identity. even so it could soon is still favored to be austria's next leader but he'll most likely have to form a coalition with the freedom party. meanwhile incumbent chancellor chris young can leader of the social democrats has become bogged down in internal scandals and accusations against the media something that's only played into the hands of his

opponents who have been busy trying to outdo each other on immigration control. joining us on the line for more on this from vienna correspondent max hoffman so max we've just seen in the reports that the immigration has come front and center in this campaign why is it such a big issue in austria. easy answer to that is probably because it seems to be working. so right wing populist have been doing this for a long time this has been on their agenda for decades and that's actually how they came to be part of the government almost twenty years ago and it seems like the bicycle just took you know some pages out of the playbook of b.s. because it worked in the rest of the program except for saying we need to stop the gratian we need to cite islam is a wise course that's the main point of the program himself and so far at least as we believe the polls it's working now the far right freedom party is widely

expected to enter government in a coalition with the boston quits conservatives how will this all get in the european union. you know when they have to you was already part of the government with your title from the year two thousand there was a huge worry in europe and a lot of problems because back then they were far more anti european then they are now at least in austria the party is part of the use abolition of the still there will be some changes because you have to the government that makes this government closer to the countries in the east for example hungry poland slovakia the so-called group less close to countries like germany or france that have big plans for reforming europe so this might make available harder for the european union to reform itself at least if you look at the plans that the french president a minute mark hall has and will shift austria further towards the east it might

actually broaden the gap that we already have between eastern and western countries in the european union. hoffman joining us from vienna thank you. well preparations are also underway for regional elections in the german state of noah saxony coming three weeks after a national election seen as an important barometer for voter sentiment as germany's parties try to form a government it's expected to be a tight race polls put the christian democrats of america slightly ahead and the social democrats close behind them the far right alternative for germany party is expected to secure a just seven percent of the vote despite coming in third at the national elections after a failed coup attempt in turkey last year the number of tax seeking asylum here in germany has jumped many a failing arrest and persecution by president. government now some asylum seekers are accusing germany's migration officials of leaking their personal information to
