well tonight hungary's prime minister viktor orban is accusing the european union of trying to blackmail his country over its treatment of migrants the european parliament is debating whether or not to sink should hungary for what it calls the erosion of the rule of law if two thirds of lawmakers agree they could strip hungry of its voting rights that would be an unprecedented move here in your. the hungry and prime minister took the initiative he travelled to strasbourg to in his own words defend hungary. i have come here today because you're not going to contend just the government but a nation as well. you are going to denounce hungry has been a member of the family of christian european nations for a thousand years get us to know it all for you. is the entire nation being

condemned the majority of politicians don't believe so including the hungry and we will explain that is nobody attacking hungary but he's the head in the in the european parliament this is the critique of the politics of the current government she unlike poland already facing a new sanctions hungary has so far been spared european green m.e.p. units are containing believes this is political the dish at the viktor organs political party is member of the european peoples party and they have friends in commission council and in parliament. veda of germany's center right christian socialists is now under pressure to act against or bans hard line position on a muslim migrants in the constitution of hungary if we say generally that you have to be afraid about muslims and generally attack religion then you do the chop off achieve that is we have invented human rights and not christian rights this with

even his own political allies wavering hungary's premier in victoria or ban is facing a tense wait for the vote in the european parliament. and earlier we spoke with max hoffman and asked him which way tomorrow's vote is likely to go. it really depends if the e.p. the european people's party which is a part of. or bond as a member of the party makes its members stick to a certain party line in this case it would be against article seven that it's going to be hard to get the two thirds majority now we don't expect that to happen actually just a reminder p.p. is kingmaker here and we expect this evening that the members of the e.p. p. are given free hand to vote any way they want so according to their conscience if that happens then because it is in trouble because many members of the e.p. p.r. very dissatisfied with the path that the door has taken they feel like he's not

representing the values not only of the european union but especially of the european people's party and so we expect many of those politicians to vote for triggering article seven so in this case against hungry and so that's why our sources here believe that the two thirds majority will actually happen tomorrow and that article seven will be triggered on wednesday no guarantees but it seems more likely than not that was max hoffman reporting from the european parliament in strong france russia has begun its biggest military exercises since the end of the cold war hundreds of thousands of russian troops have been joined in eastern siberia by soldiers from china and mongolia nato says the exercises show that russia is preparing for a large scale conflict. military equipment from all over the country deploys for the largest drill since the fall of the soviet union
