streets. sometime in the 26th. great granddaughter. what would the world be like. around half a century. when i was there were 3. you will share. your world view around true degrees one. never to believe sea level rise by at least one year in this century. we're going to have some climate impacts which are greater than. why are people more concerned. 31st.

the alternative for germany politician is in brussels the power center of the european. to see where i need to go. the road leads to the european parliament is number 2 on the list for the european elections it's very likely he'll be earning his living here soon his aim is to undermine the e.u. from within. to be sand in the gearbox and open up a bit. right wing populists are on the advance throughout europe together they are flexing their muscles more than ever. for millions of followers they offer hope and the. promise of being part of

a movement. we made out of all we used to be a feared $500.00 now will soon be a ferrari that if. we take a look around europe who votes for the right and why in italy france germany and hungary and what kind of europe do the right wing populists want. in france shot in france the french 1st in italy the italians. are they united only because they see a common enemy. to . get over lets a colleague show him around mullen back a migrant district in brussels he thinks it's the perfect place for his message he

announced during the election campaign that he would actually move here the f.t. candidate love stunts like this is happening is that i wanted to move to more than beg so when i come home each day i can see why i'm fighting. i guess not all the streets among them back look like this there must be a few corners where you can still live in safety overboard but the visual impact. it style is 1st time in morning back and he's not even trying to talk to the people there but he's quickly reached a verdict anyway. so many muslims in one place makes him a quick easy. of course he says he has no beef with other cultures but while islam somehow is a few minutes out sick i feel the freedom we have enjoyed for decades is under threat. i feel threatened by too many immigrants who come from a completely different cultural backgrounds. who have

a completely different community of values and they live according to that. you're right but the worst is the fact that they practice their peculiarities openly. i go i think i was always very good. while solution is simple isolation. he wants to adopt a tough stance in brussels no common european asylum system and no quotas for the distribution of refugees the a.f.p. actually wants to abolish the e.u. parliament but as long as it's there the f.t. will use it as a stage. our borders were protected like the e.u. parliament i'd be a huge fan of the e.u. . after several other stepdown a.f.d. leader york martin is the party's only m.e.p. he's hoping for a new allies europe's right wing populists are spread across several political groups morton is trying to forge a grand alliance. as it lets the dog human in the end it's all about winning

votes. it's easier with a large group than with a small one it's a simple as that we will be able to exert more political influence if we're part of the right wing conservative camp. was and out of to. midland a few days later my term is meeting matteo salvini italy's interior minister and leader of the northern league the lake annoyed salvini has called for a new right wing alliance and although only 3 european politicians have accepted his invitation so far he still attracting a lot of support. you know me i'm also representing the french the austrians the dutch the belgians etc etc etc. italy's interior minister as a potential leader of a new right wing europe he's celebrated on italy's piazzi was as

a shock to the old political elite. you know politicians talk like politicians but salvini is different he speaks the language of the people of all of us. by simona couplet ossie is 37 years old and works as a caretaker in a minister paul nursing home in much as in eastern italy he doesn't want to be filmed at work he's a well known laker supporter and his employer the city's leftwing mayor has his eye on him. he calls his fascists nazis and all that what he doesn't get is are not a racist i only have something against the criminals who come to my homeland. with . much about it's actually a tranquil place. but last year it attracted national attention after a nigerian was suspected of murdering an 18 year old italian woman.

then a right wing radical went out and randomly shot at anyone with dark skin. legge abbas salvini was under no illusions about who was morally responsible for the violence the european union's refugee and migration policies were flooding the country with illegal immigrants years or even many migrants are to me renie don't let anybody else see they're already too many. salvini is rhetoric went down well in much editor in the parliamentary elections but legate jumped from less than one percent to almost 21 percent of the vote and it's likely to take even more in the european elections and many recent surveys show that later at over 30 percent across italy. we go into the center of much of that has hold town to visit sell the medic at least shop she also supports the lega in addition to kitchen

knives and razors she now also sells pepper spray because there are so many strangers in town. those africans i don't know if they bring the drugs from their countries but they sell them here other ethnic groups are not so difficult. the iranians for example a nice quiet people i mean. generalizations like these are doing great harm to many here social worker daniela muncie is a native nigerian and an italian citizen he's lived here for 40 years. so if you know them before racism is becoming more and more open in the past it was less visible now everything's exploded. fuck that but plenty of people also oppose it lunch with the montana is one of the guests is abraham from mauritania he's the 2nd african refugee the family has taken into its home the fact

that sullivan is government refuses to allow wesley g. boats to dark and persecutes aid organizations makes them angry. so look at lobo resolving is only using fear fear of the stranger of the migrant but his scare mongering is a double edged sword so he also attacks anyone who disagrees with him and his policies including us tortured in order to montana's don't get any money for their hospitality they act out of conviction for him or stay with them for up to a year. in this really nice to be. worthy of what else can you say you live with us. and i know it's true you're my 2nd family. for all of them. daniel is angry that the government has increasingly neglecting its

responsibilities when for example they cut funding for language and integration courses for migrants it doesn't help society on the contrary. i support the slogans of the populists are working their way into the heads of people who don't have much themselves salvini and his crew have started a war by inciting poor people against other poor people. and apartment block just a few minutes drive away symbolizes poverty and social tensions hundreds of people from dozens of nations lived here many of them illegally most of the original residents have moved away. over the years the block has changed beyond recognition . salvini voter and labor member look at everyday lives on the 3rd floor he's one of the last italians here look as mother is

visiting him today she bought the apartment 4 decades ago. it almost brick that it looked just wonderful here that even how can i put it it was like a fairy tale of a great stores downstairs all nice and tidy in the evening we went down to the piazza there was music and we used to dance. it was really beautiful beautiful. then that then. today the apartments here have lost their value and nothing remains of the splendor of those bygone days. a lot of things have not worked here for a long time. prostitution drugs and a lack of security are the biggest problems lucas says. and every other country of the world the police will jump all over you. if you commit a crime it's just our country where people get away with it everyone in this house

no matter what country they come from says the same i mean the police are more aggressive back home. before you can see why. interior minister salvini has already been here he said he would help the residents and even have the building torn down but that hasn't proved easy the ownership structure alone is too complicated. so be always will be of course we know that salvini is not a magician who can solve all our problems but at least he inspires decent people like us to change things. luka and his mother don't think much of the european union italy pays in too much money they say and gets too little out of it a widely held opinion. only 44 percent of italians would vote in favor of remaining in the e.u. in a referendum fewer than in any other member state. when legace supporters seem on

a couple of dossie walks his dog he can still see the damage caused by the 2016 earthquake he wanted more support including from the e.u. . bynum's on a board i felt badly treated like a son whose father won't give him anything so no i certainly do not see myself as a citizen of europe you know been on the edge of. simone as boss mayor of home and our current timi acknowledges that the center left parties have gambled away a lot of trust in recent years but he refuses to resign himself to the rise of the right in his city. and yet he believes the answer to many questions is more not less europe schools we must defeat this sort of ignorance. is terrible motto italian's 1st remake the yani he said vinie. the mayor repeatedly invites us to information events highlighting the positive aspects of the e.u.

but not many citizens turn up. there's more going on at the labor event and wine and pizza salvini has even sent a senator to stir up the party's grass roots for the european election campaign with great success. we have grown up the party is growing and growing i always say we used to be a feared 500 now we'll soon be a ferrari. rome in spring time and italy's right wing populist are trying to export their newly found self confidence beyond their national borders the legacy youth wing has invited its counterparts from around europe to meet in a hotel in the city center the instagram generation is out in force as young european politicians mount the podium to fire off what seem more like war cries then political speeches now that's but themselves. spiritual and political scavengers of our route continent and these people who serve nothing else

but to be overrun. the days star cast. the french rights top candidate he may only be 23 years old but he's already got big plans. you'll be in to get to the current european union does not work because it cannot defend the peoples of europe the nations want to emancipate themselves. we the young generation of the right call for a europe of nations and we could soon be the ones to govern its europe together. the right wing populists in brussels are also dreaming of this german m.e.p. marcos behind it is one of the manipulators in the background at the e.u. parliament. there your 200 is young eloquent and well connected he's linked up with populist from austria friends and the netherlands. this is a party with

a strong personality cult. these personal ties bode well for the new alliance. what i was. going to dodge agree yes we appreciate german thoroughness. rocco's always does it well the voters important you can ask each other questions you always have to see if you can reach a compromise behind used to be in the conservative c.s.u. but now he's got a career with the f.t. he too will probably soon be a member of the e.u. parliament his contacts are useful for the f.t. especially since the right wing alliance has come across some sticking points the italians debt policy for example annoys the head of the f.t. . if i think about fiscal and monetary policy i can imagine that those very areas where we're doing well with migration policy will prove problematic for our

monetary policies. political scientist susie denison says such contradictions are currently still largely hidden by the election campaign she works for pro e.u. think tank and warns that populists could slow down the e.u. from within and what they're doing instead is trying to create this idea of a europe of sovereign nation and within that that means that the power lies at the national level take it away from the european level. and therefore they're not really interested in this more flexible more responsive europe that. the reform ideas of macro method have been trying to create so for them that is paralysis in showing that the institutions don't work they are necessary and power is better off at the national level. according to serving his right wing populist can expect about a quarter of the seats in the e.u. parliament but what would cooperation look like and what about countries that violate the e.u.'s democratic rules and values. the agreements these sanctions

is only going to get harder in an environment where the far right parties have a strong showing in these elections. and i think that that will be significant because if it becomes clear that actually the can't read the section then the threat falls away and so i think we will see. a kind of an increasing recognition that the e.u. is quite toothless sanctions then the threat falls away and so i think we will see . a kind of an increasing recognition that the e.u. is quite toothless. hungary is one country that would be well served by a toothless e.u. . brussels is currently taking action against prime minister viktor or balance government accusing it of systematically undermining democracy and restricting fundamental rights. not only true hungry has changed it

has become a radical right wing country. we are experiencing the rebirth of a world we have only known from history books literature or films. shortly before the broadcast of the political talk show could talk for gosh. regular commentator shunned presenter eastbound devaney and the other guests are preparing for the weekly show under very make ships conditions. last year they were all sitting in a fancy t.v. studio. then an oligarchy an oil to or ban took over the station and kicked out the government critical program. i mean now the show only runs on the internet and they soon won't be able to afford that either. shouldn't get on with we still have a lot of viewers but hardly anybody places advertisements with us anymore the companies don't want to make fun of the powerful and avoid us. the state

advertisements in turn are distributed according to the political preferences of the government so we don't get them either that's out there i'm carrying media landscape works now. more and more private broadcasters and publishing houses and hungary have been brought into or bands line as has state radio other media houses have closed down hungary has slipped to 87th in the world on the reporters without borders press freedom rankings. we have an interview with hungary's minister of state for relations she disagrees i haven't seen anyone they are limited in they special not to mention the social media you can put everything on the net what you want to express so this is a clear this information. is hungary just a victim of fake news many here see it that way including catalan hampel a fashion designer known in budapest. her shop in the city center sells

traditional costumes to both locals and tourists she sees herself as a kind of cultural ambassador. to gather all of the kids we sell a mentor reflect on gary and values they history of our great nation the importance of hungary at that at this shit this casually in hampel is an orbit and fan as an entrepreneur she benefits from low taxes but it is not true. the government's economic policy that she approves of or bans feeder's party could make hungry strong again she doesn't think democracy is in danger. as america think about it or ban has won 3 elections in a row and has a 2 thirds majority they have carians want him that's something you in western europe finally have to accept. these. illiberal democracy is as or

about himself once called the form of government he aspired to are admired by right wing populist throughout europe and viewed critically by their opponents. canadian michael ignatieff as a university rector and has been observing or been system for a long time and a liberal democracy is a democracy in which you have elections but you don't have any of the counter balancing institutions that balance majority rule it cannot be of central european university has itself become a plaything of or about its policies last year it decided to move part of its campus from budapest to vienna as the government increased pressure or ban seize the universities founder hungary and american billionaire george soros as an enemy of the state declaring soros wants to destabilize hungary and europe being with.

us here for the george soros and his non-governmental organizations want to attract a 1000000 migrants a year to the european union or very little by little but. if george soros didn't exist they'd have to invent him this kind of politics needs an enemy they've created an enemy. the idea that george soros is responsible for the migration flows is a paranoid fantasy but it's a useful one it has no basis in fact but it allows them to mobilize their political base in this country. and that grassroots base lives mainly in the countryside. and dress for the cause is a wine grower about a 2 hour drive from budapest he says he's very interested in politics. villa score my lord on more than that he does government is the only one you can trust it follows a clear path because it's committed to ungar in interest that's why we elected.

you. andrus says he is proud of his white wines but also of his homeland what he likes about viktor orbán is that he is committed to hungary and families at against migration. the fact that virtually no foreigners live in the area does not detract from the fear. of it when the flood of migration reaches us we're done for i don't know how well you know anger in history but we've already stood against the tartars and turks we've defended europe against islam several times. observed. borgheim is also against muslim immigrants settling in hungary many of his supporters couldn't care less whether he joined salvini is new right wing alliance or not the main thing for them is his continued opposition to the distribution of refugees within the e.u.

. and i gotta show you that even legal migration is in reality just a cover name for a population exchange program in europe that's what the election's about. population exchange a phrase straight out of the right wing conspiracy theorists. but despite all the anger at the e.u. policies hungary is still happy to take agricultural subsidies and other financial aid from brussels. we drive home on motorways cold financed by the e.u. hungry receives more than $3000000000.00 euros from the e.u. budget each year. nevertheless a lot of hungry and live in great poverty and the young and well educated are leaving the country. blucher knowledge is 19 years old and will graduate from high school this year if possible she wants to stay in hungary

and study but a lot of people aren't making her life easy right now you have a full body bag like i'm subjected to repeated verbal attacks messages from strangers say i should die that i should have died in my mother's womb i'm trying to ignore all this yet that as a good member sound that. last winter this blurred internet video made blanca famous. she was at a demonstration against or bonds policies and threats to the rule of law and she launched a foul mouth tirade against the government as a disgusting gang of thieves and she's been publicly hunted down ever since. commentators and journalists close to feed as have been reporting on her private life and even making fun of her school grades on television bloggers says she follows the media circus with bewilderment and discussed most of the media don't mention that her protest has a serious background blanco's father died of cancer in 2015 since then she has

mainly directed her scorn at the hungary and health system. is still trying to one x. and there are people lying on gurneys in the hallways and nobody cares. and then i hear of a government is once again building a stadium or a friend of the government has been seen with a 30000 euro watch. that really makes you think that i could have this and i won't talk of the guy that bad. every now and then a bubble bursts and hungary and people take to the streets to protest against labor laws the restructuring of the judiciary corruption and the system as a whole. did us you have failed in 3 important subjects integrity humanity and honesty. but the opposition is in the minority here their opponents who present brussels as an enemy

have the upper hand they're likely to win further victories in the near future including in the european elections. back to as an end the rule of valley in germany the home of f.t. candidate hisle the former miner spent 26 years in the liberal s.p.d. then he switched to the f.t. . the party has used his working class roots promoting him as the miner for europe . but others have sprayed his house with graffiti while doesn't see himself as a right wing agitator and believes people here understand what. he's talking about . but i don't see that go to they doing up there nothing to make sure bananas are crooked and cucumber is have got to be like this but for the people themselves. they have nothing left for them but the refugees

will affect pensions they'll finally have to start closing the borders. i think most of us how this will be resolved. but many questions go unanswered but i'll says he is fighting for little people in the if he's fractious social policy debate and he also avoids complex questions. he didn't i'm not someone who knows everything like a true professional politician i'm just learning i'm a hobby politician i'm a minor. hobby politician and number 2 on the party's m.e.p. list i talk to media coaches and reject that i need 3 points on each topic and everyone will think i'm smart but no i just be a talking dummy who practiced the answer i don't ever want to be that. if we even have one so while hurries from appointment to appointment students at the camp flint for high school have invited politicians to a panel discussion a lot of students took part in the climate demos kyle's f.t.

concert climate hysteria he says that mr ailes the a.f.d. denies climate change what's your opinion kind of like there's no evidence of manmade climate change whatsoever there's no evidence whatsoever that c o 2 is responsible in any way and the best thing is there's no evidence that one or 2 degrees warmer might not be quite beneficial we've had these warm phases before when rome was at its zenith it was much warmer we were no worse off looking it was much later. politics beyond all scientific knowledge. while tries again and again to dominate the podium with his ideas or. europe has never really worked that all the projects they take are never really work. they talk about peace security and prosperity. but only it's not

true why is that us and them with us when i have to directly disagree this is so wrong that not even the opposite is right we don't always have to say that everything's great i don't like all the government's policies yet i don't question the federal republic all the time but. busy that i'll says he wants to encourage the students to think. but his statements draw some criticism here and i mean yes in some respects he may be right that not everything in the e.u. works but you can't solve that by simply abolishing the e.u. or taking away some of its opportunities to do better. as the other politicians have said the only thing we can do is strengthen it. there is still this feeling this disquiet something's going wrong if the officials call germany an opinion dictatorship whereas the party says its truth is the only truth this is

a road of public confidence in democracy. well democracy looks different he would have you know exactly freedom of speech yes absolutely i do freedom of speech should be the supreme good but you just can't have the wrong opinion that's how it is so the f.t. . no other party comes into question why not you know why there are too many arguments to go into in detail. but one of the most important one is. well try to sum it up. a lot of things aren't going right here. this is the proof. the feeling of not being understood by the powerful in france that's driven a lot of people out onto the streets. c on saturdays the yellow vests always call for emanuel mccall's resignation even

illegal in northern france. the demo started in protest at the president's reforms now some are even talking about revolution. did he and his friends come regularly they want to see more direct democracy lower taxes and higher minimum wages they see the european elections in a purely french light. micron's party wins the european elections they'll say the french want me to continue i want to prevent that so i'm going to vote for them that's i mean the my family can't really complain i'm a lawyer my husband is a computer scientist and we have a. child that we pay for see much in texas still making quite a good living but we have to be here because of everything else that isn't going well about the battle with come up with anything but there are still undecided who

to vote for marina lappin would like to direct their anger to the ballot box with votes for her right wing populist party formally the fall nasional the national front now called last summer moments in our national rally. mcconnell is the perfect target for them le pen and top candidate by della make a commitment to the party's grass roots. you said you it's about being the call. that's what many people in denial think too. it was once a prosperous steel and mining town but that's now history. the poverty rate here is more than 40 percent. owns one of the bars that hasn't had to close. his regular customers keep him

afloat they eat dinner together once a month but we call better times. so in the eighty's and ninety's they tore this place down all these buildings. where you normally see that we're right here. all about here was. the company of a sports field the district where. all that belonged to the company. do we were the richest here in the north. they have experienced a lot of change 1st economic then political denying used to be communist then socialist. but the left lost a lot of ground and left a gap to be filled by the right wing populist. in the presidential election a large proportion did not vote at all of the rest 57 percent voted for

a pair of. yourself openly says he supports her. but sadly this is discontent from across. the board if you gave them a little more money they'd go to a restaurant with a big boost the economy and have a good time they look even got cism you leave your job to people can't live 180900 euro the same goes for pensioners. we've been demanding purchasing power for 20 weeks. but my cons gone deaf he's not listening to. my calls opponents of the pen wants to capitalize on this discontent. many 1st of all we know their manifesto preaches economic patriotism french goods french workers france 1st and leading candidate george dela demands that my going

should take a back seat. so that's the hardest why fix all the ways i prefer to choose with the means of the state which are becoming more and more limited to help our poor are unemployed and our pensioners. it's common sense some call it. but mcconnell is fighting back he wanted to reform france and remake the e.u. and present himself as a counterpoint to le pen and salvini. we live in a world of migration i don't believe in walls and. in the. back in legal citizens meeting without all the presidential razzmatazz are still discussing the same issues ecology democracy taxes. to my party see. her as often accused of being a president of the big cities giving people a voice at the local level is important which means. everyone has something to

discuss here. but one and she is still seems to dominate emanuel mark hall seen by his critics as the president of the rich since the abolition of the wealth tax. with some i think the abolition of the wealth tax is good others don't but maybe a higher tax should be levied on luxury goods that anybody needs above with up was for the problem is that we tax very little of the assets that consist of enormous blocks of stocks so people constantly make up to 10 percent return in share trading was a lot of. it was about macand they say later now has to prove that he has got the message. his town hall dialogues have raised expectations and now he is making concessions to the yellow vests. for debates i want to provide relief for people who work and significantly reduce income taxes we need to

see how we finance personal. accounts off for might have brought him a little breathing space but many think that's still too little. people in demand don't feel his policies are any md at them anyway a good 35 percent of the people here are without a job the right wing populist have conquered the city. mall songs that also is fascinated by the social fractures that is photographed in and its people for a graphic novel what he called it the roots of anger. was the matter and what fascinated me was giving people a face and a voice people who would otherwise be made invisible. to the right wing populists are also interested in those people they present

themselves as attentive listeners whereas the socialist mayor is absent. when we're on the rim of the national rally formally national front has always defended the french people we're not defending the international corporations or the e.u. we're defending the interests of france the people here in the village are very sensitive they understand that. that's why they choose us we're going to live or vote for. this is where they're trying to win over undecided voters and there are votes to be won here. no 2 for survives with on jobs and says he's neither right nor left wing the rally team wants to meet him. over there yes the member of parliament wanted to meet me talk to me in his office or why not. i didn't reject his offer i accepted the offer was accepted. so the right wing populist are trying to

expand their network in germany. like here in often borg. and if the meeting on the one side and counter-demonstrators on the other. there is great resistance to the f.t. . police provide a buffer between the camps the kind of look at this is where this is not a democratic project where everyone can feel at home this is a project of exclusion of selfishness and i'm demonstrating against that here today it was. the f.t.c. says it wants to defend europe and brussels. its speeches are full of fear and path all its as if our very survival is at stake. because if

we are the last chance for our culture for democracy which was invented in europe for humanism for enlightenment we are the last chance for european freedom for the flag of will pass. the height of those who are destroying europe their names are younker to man's shoulders druggy mckelvey but these are the destroyer. that european idea ladies and gentleman gave. me but the right wing vision of the future is still rather vague and not only in germany right wing populist above all emphasize what or whom they are against if you ask them what they're for they often resort to slogans such as europe of nations. susie denison warns against getting drawn in by what she sees as a trick. that framing of it being kind of new pen this is my call or you know why do you sense of it being the mccomb vision of europe that says that's all

bad knows how deanie and i think is very much the way that the far right are trying to frame these elections but i think that it would be a mistake for the pro european parties including back home so to work with that i think is far more important to sell the importance to mobilize european voters through the idea of what europe can deliver on the right wing populist have an easier job simply targeting the enemy in brussels which could pay off for them in the coming european elections. and his dues disease. can swing. the ball bob g.'s of south africa

are. some of them are over 2000 years of. the sudden demise causing scientists. a south african researcher to set out to find a cause. to borrow to do it. europe's a big idea but what's become of it and what will it look like tomorrow. w. gets ready for an in-depth look at the european elections asking the questions that matter. for european voters hopes for the parliament what challenges lie ahead. from way too long because he says that the people in power have gotten away with not doing anything to fight the kind of crisis. you know much of the rest of.

the expert discussion. is or more it's voters 1st hand. g.w. has it all. the european elections on may 26th on g.w. . this is t w news coming to you live from berlin he played the president in a t.v. show now he's set to become sort of real president of ukraine comedian bolivia selenski will take the oath of office to the fish will he start his term as

ukraine's new leader he has no political experience so what's his plan for the country to go live to kiev. after 6 weeks of voting india's marathon election is finally over it's being called a referendum on prime minister narendra modi.
