we need to take all necessary steps to repair the reputation of our public officials and government representatives in difficult this this is an issue of national interest as well as of austria standing in the european union and the rest of the world unseen. in the region on your own. very. chance for kurds also said the government was examining the video and considering taking legal action he said the videos content required careful attention from government investigators and i live for the moment due to the issues raised by the video we need to answer all open questions to really determine the range from abuse of power to possible legal consequences. to their lives that question is said to be answered in the coming days during talks between coats funded ellen and the freedom party's designated leader norbert hoffa. earlier i spoke to our correspondent bob

of israel who is on the ground in vienna and i asked her how people there are reacting to the government falling apart and the news of snap elections when we heard the president earlier talk about. people losing trust austrians losing trust in politics in their politicians and political institutions because this is just the end like with the bang office string of scandals that has been plaguing this government and all these scandals came of the source of all these scandals was the right wing populist freedom party so talk there only had during the day when there was a pro europe and a prague democracy demonstration also in vienna i asked some people what they thought about the situation some kind of resistance towards the current administration and the government is clearly completely corrupt and happy trust that we need a new face absolutely it's an absolute disaster just so you know now we have the
