and we're determined to build something here for the next generation the engine the environment series of global three thousand on t.w. and online. this is d w news live from is another until the immigration party about to shake up european politics swedes all going to the polls today with the far right sweden suite of democrats poised to make a major what does it mean for the country's liberal alliance we'll have analysis from our correspondent in stockholm also coming up. north

korea commemorates the seventieth anniversary of the country's founding but behind the pong when the parade does pyongyang really tough both for celebration who put that question to an expert on east asia. i'm going to humphrey glad you could join me for things on the way in sweden and one of the most unpredictable elections in decades the center left government is facing a serious challenge from the far right which has made spectacular gains off the back of issues regarding refugee policy and welfare with ballot stations now open across the country polls suggest the anti immigration sweden democrats could emerge as a new force in swedish politics the rise of the populist party is set to shake up the status quo in a country. seen as that bastion of liberal but. it's

shaping up to be one of the most significant election is in sweden's history the first nationwide vote since the country to get more migrants of population than any other european country back in twenty fifteen at the height of the migration crisis it's just one key issue along with health care education and climate change but in rural communities like here insults bug migration has become a prism through which everything else is viewed. in strong tone many or one time we cannot thank you they can all stop they mean so many to him it's a good life i think they want to be in the. country and they see so much. that the. swedes are divided about high far large scale migration brings with it violent cry but the country's prime minister step i

love then has already conceded that the twenty fifteen migrants influx was too much to cope with. he leads the center left social democratic party which has come first in every swedish election since one thousand nine hundred seventeen it governs in coalition with the greens. he faces a challenge from the center right moderates led by other christerson his is the largest of the opposition parties which make up what is known as the alliance which also includes the same to liberals and christian democrats. through its talk. but all eyes are on the far right sweden democrats once on the fringes the party led by jimmy acas son posts twenty percent support from the thirteen achieved at the last election other parties have real day working with pay is making it unlikely they'll be part of any government what's more likely is that any. party forming

a minority government will have to rely on their support and with no party likely to achieve an overall majority that's a potential political nightmare for sweden's establishment but even if widespread on ease about migration doesn't bring the sweden democrats to paris it could mean the country's century old political consensus is over. did already correspondent bob a vessel is at a polling station eight in stockholm good to see you barbara another anti immigrant populist party on the rise how strong can we expect them to emerge on this election day in sweden. we don't really know helen now because the polls have been veering all over the place during the last days a week ago or two weeks ago some polls so saw them at twenty five percent even in first place in the swedish political landscape but then it seems to have gone down again now they have been polled with around twenty percent which would put them in

second place in this parliament but we have to wait how strong their support really is when people go to the polls behind us we see a polling station in the center in the old town of stockholm and what you see here are representatives of all the big parties only the social democrats are in here and even a sweden democrats rep also here and they're still shoving of leaflets into people tens and trying to change their minds at the very last moment so we have to wait and see the prognosis are simply not really for him and we can't really dare to make prophecies at this point barbara how right wing are the sweden democrats what more can you tell us about them. it is a problem that lies in their past because they have come from a new and see party of really the fringe extreme right wing fringe party that used to exist in sweden already in the eighty's but this was all always sort of like an

oddball little fringe thing and then when jimmy aka's who is now the leader of this party the sweden democrats when he came he tried to do what marine le pen tried to do in france he tried to sort of end the poison in his party to to sort of a deal demonize that he says now no we are not an extreme radical right wing party we are not racists even though they are pretty models thematic i mean they talk about nothing but migrants they talk about crime and it is really in tremendous amount of fear mongering that they sort of using in trying to impress we dish voters and giving them a feeling of insecure. richey in their own country which as we know from other countries from great britain from france from germany even is what really sort of fires the populist vote and that's what's behind them so whether jimmy office will really be successful was demonizing the party and showing and sort of painting them as just another party even though

a conservative one we will have to see briefly if you wouldn't mind barbara sweden i mean always had a fairly open refugee policy why is it such an issue now. it has become an issue to talk to two thousand and fifteen when around one hundred fifty thousand drift came in very quick succession at the height of the big crisis and when the people had the feeling that the government had control over who comes and how many people come and how then they are integrated into society it's a very similar phenomenon that you see in germany and some other european countries and then of course its past mistakes in the refugee policy in sweden here that has led to this moment that politics in sweden find themselves now in there really being torn apart and for all the shaken all over the place. correspondent in stockholm thank you. and now some of the other stories making news around the world

it yes you're right and it's interesting in a way that north korea holds a military parade in order to showcase its economic goals but i think the two most significant things that you saw there was that they did not show case their most advanced weapons and the second thing the presence of john sure who is the number three in the chinese leadership are a key and that is a sign that north korea may be heading down the similar way like china going for economic reforms a bit of opening up that's at least the hope that that you see i suppose the question is well not showing the latest military hardware in the in that way was that a mess. then to the united states because of course diplomacy appears to have stalled with the united states for now can we expect the progress i think we can expect a lot of activity not a lot of progress though but the u.s.

and north korea have really shot of all their diplomatic fireworks at the big summit in june in singapore so the expectations there were extremely high and they cannot be met i think the much more significant diplomatic event that we're looking at now is the meeting with the south korean president what can we expect to come out of those talks i think south korea is really trying hard to bring in north korea to engage them economically just as the chinese are doing and the big question in south korea is are they going to propose a peace treaty at some point i don't think we're going to see this at the summit this month but i think there's a strong political will in south korea to offer more to north korea just just to bring them in from the cold i mean you mention the fact that they're going to try and potentially engage south korea economically is that the sense that north korea at seventy really needs to do that for the for the state of the nation and the

situation that the people find themselves in the absolutely does seventy years of north korea is a celebration for the kim family because they've hung on to power for seventy years there's not that many regimes worldwide that have managed to do that saudi arabia may need but. for the people it's a horrible situation it's nothing to celebrate seventy years of north korea north korea is in an area where every country around them has really developed and they haven't although they have all the chances and we hope that we'll see some development there ben had an expert on china north korea from the battles and foundation thanks for your insights thank you. well some sports news now in the first round of the new way for nations league spain beat england two one in a scrappy encounter at london's wembley stadium marcus rushford opened the scoring for england in the eleventh minute but south equalized to spain just two minutes
