this is t w news live from bird land rights on the rise again in europe on greed national prime minister viktor orban wins a landslide victory after a campaign that took a radically hardline on immigration he used his hunger arrogance to defend their country also coming up missiles targeted a major air base in syria at least fourteen soldiers are dead and syria and russia say that israel is to blame and after three years of losses germany's top lender
2:01 pm
and deutsche bank has ousted its c.e.o. will the man at the top be able to revive the banks fortune. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program we begin in hungary where the nationalist prime minister viktor orban has won a decisive victory in the country's general election during his campaign or bonn took a hard line on muslim immigration portraying migrants as a threat to hungriest christian identity in his victory speech he said the result gave him the chance to defend themselves and their country. here's was we won a triumphant. hungary's right wing nationalist prime minister winning he's third consecutive term in office and his fourth term ever role it follows
2:02 pm
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 but we have won a crucial victory got a chance gave ourselves a chance to defend hungary. for years was all burns populist in euros get dick messages of strain ties with the e.u. but they won his fetus party almost half the votes because of complex election laws he was on track to secure a two thirds super majority in parliament voted turnout rage close to seventy percent exceeding the past three elections it had been thought that high turnout might favor the far right off position your peak and this seemed to lift socialists but trailing far behind the winner the leaders of hungary second and third biggest
2:03 pm
parties ever signed 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. 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 a correspondent barbara vessel is standing by with the view from brussels so barbara we know that viktor orban he has been on this collision course with the e.u. for quite some time campaigning to end brussels migrate resettlement program given that are we likely to see pressure from the e.u. to change or bonds course going forward. now that you would like to change your
2:04 pm
buns chorus for instance but which instruments does it have seriously if you look at the official statement after his election victory today it is true because brussels reminds oregon that the european union is a union of values and that all member countries are obliged to defend these values so that is a sort of appeal and to sort of friend mind organ that he really can't stray too far from the rules but of course he will feel full and as now a lot of right wing populist movements in europe do feel emboldened. and killed will those from the netherlands and of course the german a very quick was there kong regulations on the other hand you see a certain amount of dismay in the circles of social democrats and greens and left parties which say more or less in unison this is a set day for europe because it shows that the none democratic values are gaining
2:05 pm
ground in europe but as you if you talk about direct pressure in oregon very difficult to do you could sort of hit him was the money because he really depends on money from brussels but you need to change the rules for that and it is almost impossible to do that and he has some pretty strong allies doesn't he i mean he was congratulated by the leader of poland for example also germany's interior minister host safe haul for has welcomed is a victory as well let's just listen in to what he had to say. for me i'm pleased about his election victory it was another very convincing win public to. congratulate him in the name of the christian social union. strong endorsement and election victory and that's what we've done has achieved. you to work with him that holds for me personally as well. i would advise the
2:06 pm
european union to maintain sensible bilateral relationships with its member states particularly with smaller ones such as hungary i've always considered it wrong to manifest arrogance and paternalism towards individual member states. so a display of support for bond they're also a pretty strong take for brussels i mean how likely is it that this sentiment shared growing. the sentiment is largely not or has so far largely not been shared in europe because if you look at trends of spain and britain all the other big the netherlands the scandinavian countries you look at there so far has been strong support for democratic values in europe and to think about elections as a democratic process we don't sort of first change the rules of the game and then really sort of say to your own your own election victory if you sort of silence the
2:07 pm
opposition press no wonder you then win the election that's just one example and of course. attacking the european union for something it really has not done or been has been heavily criticized for what he did it was regard to the judiciary in hungry for instance it was regard to the press was regard to n.g.o.s in the civil society but nobody could really tell him what to do they couldn't really change his course because it's not in their power but as you said rightly he does or does have strong supporters particularly in the european parliament in the p. it people's party that is the grouping of conservative parties with the christian democrats and they have a very insistent party the governing parties of anglo-american germany belong to and they have really had his back throughout the last years it's an astonishing sight was regard to european center in mainstream values part of a as a with

a view from brussels thank you to syria now and its main ally russia they are blaming israel for an overnight missile attack on a syrian air base which killed fourteen people the strike came as international alarm grows over an alleged chemical weapons attack on the former rebel stronghold of duma at the weekend the following report contains images that some viewers might find disturbing. missiles flare in the dark hours of the morning according to russian and syrian military they were fired from two israeli fighter jets though israel has declined to comment the missiles found their target an air base in the province of holmes used by the syrian regime and its allies at least fourteen fighters were killed according to observers. days earlier bombs fell in the town of duma in eastern the last remaining rebel stronghold it's alleged they were carrying chemical weapons according to the white helmets volunteer rescue group at least
2:09 pm
forty people were sixty eight and by poison gas during the attack many of them children smelling strongly of chlorine. the regime continues the intense and violent shelling barrel bombs were dropped by helicopters carrying poisonous substances. until now paramedics haven't been able to enslave because of the continuous shelling the regime is trying to wipe out this area syria denies its government forces launched any chemical assault none the less international condemnation has been swift and blunt. u.s. president donald trump took to twitter blaming russia and iran for supporting syria and describing its president bashar al assad as an animal in rome pope francis used his mass in some peter's square to denounce the attacks as unjustifiable.
2:10 pm
we pray for all the dead for the wounded for the families who suffer. there is no good war and bad war. in ne and and nothing nothing can justify the use of such instruments of violence against people and unarmed populations are. the syrian army released pictures which it says shows troops moving towards duma the army dismissed claims of the gas attack as fabrications the military insists it's advancing rapidly and has no need for chemical weapons. so let's put these developments in syria into perspective for us now we have correspondent tanya kramer standing by she is joining us from jerusalem and tanya i'd like to begin first by asking you a bit more about the airstrike on the homes air base because russia is accusing israel of carrying it out what more can you tell us. well this is
2:11 pm
very interesting because most of the intimation we get actually from the russian defense ministry on that strike they're saying that two israeli planes would have carried out the strike on this base which would have been in the early morning hours here local time we know that in this space syrians do this all of hezbollah rain ians but they're also russian people working there according to the syrian observatory for human rights fourteen people have been killed and. wounded now the israeli army is not commenting on that that is very common for them because they usually don't comment on the. activities in syria but what's interesting is that it seems to be the deciding. that has been actually runs attacked just in february by israeli fighter jets at the time they concerned this
2:12 pm
when at that time and rainy and according to the israeli army had entered israel yes but they had to tell you that. at this base where they're saying are. operating and at the time israeli fighter jet was down to the israeli side but at the moment. minute turn is not commenting on on these allegations and in meantime elsewhere in the country we do have other allegations this alleged chemical attack on that has sparked international outrage the assad regime has said to or alleged to have been behind it the u.n. security council is. acted to me today the u.s. president donald trump also threatening syria would pay a big price in response what can we expect here. when i think we've been in that situation before because there have been alleged chemical attacks in syria can call but of course all eyes are now on you know what the u.s.
2:13 pm
will be doing but also the french president a man who one more call has said that france is considering a response to that no the timing of course no israeli attack is very interesting here. but the israelis have their own red lines and syria at this and any time there's a transfer back in there they would just talk but also they're very concerned of the ukrainian presence in israel so we would have to wait and see what reactions we'll be having there in the coming days and we've been looking at very disturbing very dramatic pictures there of children actually in that area tanya cramer with the latest from jerusalem thank you tanya. and let's get a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world former south korean president lee one bach has been charged with corruption he is accused of receiving some ten million u.s. dollars in bribes from groups including the country's own intelligence service was

2:17 pm
here at the blue chip index starts with right now plus off about two percent or even a class of two percent and it's not that much when you compare this to other companies it is a lot for a daughter bond because when we look at the share price of daughter buying this year it went down by almost twenty six percent in the last year almost sixty one per cent investors do have a good feeling with this man he has been as we heard it in the report for more than thirty years with the lender though they are telling me there is a kind of a shame how the selection process work because it doesn't seem to be that he was the first choice we've heard media reports already during the last weeks that like the chairman of the supervisory board was actually talking with other candidates first all right but on the whole a good feeling about this new c.e.o. will that translate into into good work he's got
2:18 pm
a lot to do what do you think his first priority should be. well he's going to have a full agenda certainly from today on because his main priority is going to be bringing daughter bang back into the winning zone the bank has reported three years of losses in the last two years seven hundred fifty million euros that's too much she already announced in an email to employ yesterday that she will have to make tough decisions decisions that will also heard which most likely is going to mean cutting even more jobs than john a crime did he wants to for example make sure that mostly the investment banking division gets again more profitable that's really has been this division has been really a suffering throughout the last years hello and in london meanwhile daniela traders are taking to the stand on your a board rigging charges was which is certainly not good for the lender can we expect there to be more cases of this ilk. well this is exactly the

issue doj about has been called in the past already the most dangerous organization in the world because of the hundreds division worldwide but also because of those pending lawsuits that the bank has been dealing with and is still dealing with that's the reason why daughter has to put every year millions of euros aside he has it's time and that's also one job that the new c.e.o. will have to do daughter bank needs to create again good headlines and all those negatives that we have had during the last years and certainly does daniel cool in frankfurt for us thank you from his national rail operator s.n.c.f. says the only going workers' strike has already cost around twenty million euros a day now today marks the fourth day of industrial action the strikes are set to run until the end of june amid little sign of a climb down from either the government or the unions. the chaos on french train
2:20 pm
platform shows little signs of easing both the government and the unions are holding firm workers' rights is a cause notably close to french hearts but the broad consensus that protected france's state owned businesses from reform seems to be weakening as taxpayers face the costs. will get every workplace have the right to strike it's understandable but what about those who pay every day and every month for their trains to go and work for example i'm paid by the hour and if i lose one or two hours then i lose money it's not the s. and c. f. who will pay for the loss of them all this is all. the more they support the movement of the will weigh workers with all my heart because i think the public sector is really threatened today and that is why people don't do anything so this will go on and on. so i support this movement even if i have to spend hours here waiting for my train she hears from your friend she is going to move moment she bus
