this is the w. news live from bergland right on the rise again in europe hungry as national prime minister viktor orban glinting landslide victory after a campaign that took a radically hardline on immigration he urges punk ariens to defend their country also coming up missiles targeted a major air base in syria at least fourteen soldiers are dead syria and russia say israel is to blame and after three years of losses germany's top lender joyce the bank has ousted its c.e.o.

will the new man at the top be able to revive the bank's fortunes. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us we begin in hungary where the nationalist prime minister viktor orbán has won a decisive victory in the country's general election during his campaign orbán took a hard line on muslim immigration portrayed migrants as the threat to hungriest christian identity in his victory speech he said the result gave her the chance to defend themselves and their country. here's your was we won a triumphant. hungary's right wing nationalist prime minister winning he's third consecutive term in office and his fourth term overall it follows a campaign in which all band rallied almost exclusively against what he described

as the poison of immigration. there's a big battle behind us. we have won a crucial victory got a chance gave ourselves a chance to defend hungary. which. was all burns populist in your roast good dick messages of strained ties with the e.u. but they won he's fetus party almost half the votes because of complex election laws he's on track to secure a two thirds super majority in parliament version turnout range close to seventy percent exceeding the past three elections it had been thought that high turnout might favor the far right opposition your beat and this seemed to lift socialists but trailing far behind the winner the leaders of hungary second and third biggest parties every design following the result. i respect the decision of the voters

even if it hurts and feels bad even if one expected a lot more support. but we have to accept it as part of life and part of democracy when things go differently to what we would have liked. or strong victory hands him increased legitimacy but it means almost certain trouble for independent media and civil groups at heart and likely more clashes with brussels. and correspondent standing by now with the view from brussels so barbara we know that viktor orban has been on a collision course with the e.u. for quite some time campaigning to end and enter brussels migrant resettlement program what is this victory how is it likely to be received there. that really very much depends on where you look actually and whom you listen to what it does show is of course that there is

a deep political child running through europe particularly through western europe and eastern countries now of course the reactions from poland for instance. more or less jubilant viktor orban shows the way to go. with regard to reforms says the polish prime minister for instance and also the right wing populous in europe like the builders and others feel bolder and they sent their come get. on the other hand if you look for instance to luxembourg. draw a suborn he says that viktor orban shows that choom or is destroying european values values in the e.u. and that something needs to be done against that so we really see a picture that is totally split the greens of the european parliament talk about a sad day for europe social democrats say they really fear because they look at the election campaign and it had strong and semitic good tendencies so it is really

a very split picture let's talk a little bit more about that split and actually which side might have a little bit more power here because you know or bob he does have some powerful friends germany and cheri minister offered you know he welcomed his victory as well as the leader of poland how much support does he have barbara. he has not that much support in the actual european union if you look at the governments it's more or less really of poland and hungary that i was sort of marching was arms linked step by step in step to step by step but the european people's party that is the grouping of conservatives and christian democratic parties in the european parliament. viktor orban fetus party belongs to that grouping they really sort of have his bank they congratulated him today they said that they look forward to working with him of solving european problems obviously the migrant crisis not

among those and that is sort of. forces able fits in because he see you the german party is part of the p.p. in the european parliament and they are really sort of strengthening feeders they're defending them they're saying no that not democratic and they're not against european values so they he really has some strong defenders in the political rows off the parliament he does not have a lot of a lot of support if you look at european countries barbara vessel in brussels thank you. well now in other news russia and syria are blaming israel for an attack on a syrian government military base missile struck the base overnight monitor say the strikes killed at least fourteen people including iranian soldiers the development follows a suspected chemical weapons attack on one of the last strongholds juma over the weekend. missiles flare in the dark hours of the morning according to russian and
