open tennis final serena williams angrily confronts the umpire off a controversial for the outburst overshadows naomi asuka's around a lot of that tree by a japanese are played. on mexican director alfonso for on the wins the top prize at the venice film festival for growth on the block and quite strong love based on his childhood memories. the last. i knew cooper's mckinnon glad he could join me. the people of sweden are voting in one of the most unpredictable elections the country has seen in decades mainstream policies of facing a major challenge from the far right which is expecting big gains from voters is unhappy with immigration and what's with the slow pace of integration poll suggests

the nationalist sweden democrats led by jimmy akeson could emerge as one of the strongest forces in parliament the shift to the right even threatens to unseat the left leaning coalition government prime minister stefan lutheran has called this election a referendum on sweden's welfare state now the rise of the populists in sweden follows a europe wide trend and it could signal a break with the country's liberal traditions. it's shaping up to be one of the most significant elections in sweden's history the first nationwide vote since the country to get more migrants pair head 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. it's tonto many one time we cannot

thank you. stop them so many and the good life i think they want to be in this. country and these so much. swedes are divided about how far large scale migration brings with it violent crime but the country's prime minister staff and loved them has already conceded that the twenty fifty migrant 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 nine hundred seventeen at governance in coalition with the greens. he faces a challenge from the center right moderates led by others christerson his is the largest of the opposition parties which make up what is known as the alliance which also includes the same to the liberals and christian democrats.

stood still. but all eyes are on the far right sweden democrats ones 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 pirate it could mean the country's century old political consensus is over. t.w. correspondent is at a polling station in stockholm and she joins us now barbara good to see you petting stations will be closing soon tell us how the voting has gone so far. it's been

it's been going briskly and you know because thirty five percent of suites about had already voted before the sunday that's possible according to rules in sweden and we saw a lot of people coming to give their votes today at different polling stations here in the old town of stockholm so everybody we are small and said yes we are quite aware of this election is special this means more than others in the past and we have to turn out so high turnout actually is to be expected now the far right sweden democrats they're expecting big games are they right in their criticism of sweden's immigration policy have mistakes been made there. double answer to that yes they are right in the sense that mistakes have been made this week just governments in the past have allowed ghettos to develop or was migrants at the fringes of the big cities in the suburbs and the police didn't have

the manpower nor the inclination for many years to really crack down on gang violence there this is something that mostly exists among themselves among different groups of migrants it's often drug related but it gives a feeling of insecurity or too many swedes who are simply not used to the first being one of the wealthiest and safest country in the world but deviation from that norm makes people feel insecure and that is one of the reasons for the rise of the right the other hand policies towards migrants have already been tightened considerably what sweden does now is harsher than what you see in germany so yes they do have they have closed the doors and people really can't come in anymore so that change has already been made. sweden has a very long tradition of helping those in need they have been very open to refugees and migrants will we see this change even more after these elections.

people fear of that will be the case sweden and away has been on the international stage to be humanitarian superpower for decades you know if there was an unresolved conflict somewhere you would call for swedish negotiators to find a way out and so they had did have sort of the moral high ground particularly in european politics for many years and that is likely to change and many people are aware of that and of course many you speak to who are more liberal minded say yes we feel that we think this is not a good change it isn't a good way to go they would like to keep but also recognize that there are strong currents in this country that if today was identity politics that the play was nationalism and the play was very strong and you might win sentiments and there's a lot of fear mongering going on so you see the two sides your you suddenly see that there's always has been a dark side in sweden too like in many other european countries and in

a way stephen is being normalized in that sense ok these are reporting for us from stockholm thanks so much. let's have a little now at some of the other stories making news around the world the iraqi foreign ministry has condemned a missile attack by iran's revolutionary guard on a base of a kurdish separatist group iranian t.v. showed footage of surface to surface missiles being fired the democratic party of iranian kurdistan says at least eleven people were killed and fifty others wounded at its base in klia in iraq. monisha group says russian and syrian government air raids have pounded rebel held it live province killing at least one person a child it's the second day of heavy bombardment with reports of helicopters dropping barrel bombs syria and iran are believed to be preparing for a final assault on despite into. now history has been

made at the u.s. open tennis final with naomi osaka becoming the first japanese athlete to win a grand slam title the twenty year old defeated tennis star serena williams in straight sets but a controversial outburst from williams threaten to overshadow what should have been a night of celebration serena williams was three one up in the second set in new york when things began to unravel having been a hundred a violation for receiving instructions from her coach williams was docked a point for smushing her rocket as she threw away the chance to go for one up the american already a sick don't bluster the umpire calling him a thief and a liar and was promptly hit with a game penalty she won only one more game as naomi osaka held her nerve to clinch a stunning victory williams first threatened to overshadow the win with boos ringing out as the sucker awaited presentation of her first major trophy the

japanese even apologized to the crowed after defeating her idol but just twenty years old was sucker looks well placed to emulate william's illustrious career. now following the u.s. open final serina williams has called out carlos ramos as decision to dump her game as a sexist remark williams said male athletes have gotten away with some of the outbursts in the past without facing any consequences opinion was divided on social media tennis legend billie jean king applauded williams for calling out a double standard in tennis she said many agreed with her but former pyrate should defended ramos he said williams shattered three well known rules and that each penalty was correct. and germany is nil nil draw against france in their opening match of the nations league was a step in the right direction that's after the debacle of the world cup this summer but your team lives players have plenty of work left to do to regain the credit

that they lost in russia annexed task is a friendly against career on sunday and they'll need a much better result if they're going to have any chance the toll of playing their way back into the hearts of german fans. the reception at the team hotel was more than i could feel as if the world cup catastrophe had never even happened one thing has changed though germany's aloof internationals have at least started taking the time to sign autographs your beloved has made a change as well he's kicks the espressos his statements meanwhile they ring a little familiar. everyone who knows me knows that the german team isn't just about fighting working slighting and tackling any more like him for the right it's also about the technical elements of the game going forward running channels he should be quite enough on the low fi game and those classic courage to

restate some of the german style well and showed during the new tool with france but the technical elements were tougher to detect the friendly against peru is a chance to change that. play the same willingness the same level of effort of organization and discipline that's what's important just about to each other about i expect that in some situations will be a bit quicker and a bit more courageous going forward when we have won the ball. and the lineup will be a different one as well mark andre to stay good will take over in goal and hoffenheim sneakers shorts will get the chance to make his international debut at left back. fill in. care. about the things that are relevant for our development so of course we want to win but there are a few other things that are important tomorrow besides the result. the coach
