had threatened an insurgency but in the end mustered 10 percent of the disappointment hard to hide. the again not. to repair the e.u. to reduce the e.u. to a school that is why we have been elected what we're going to do in brussels. these may have been european elections the results may well she cut domestic politics to . and i'm joined now in the studio by olaf blanke a political scientist and senior advisor at erasmus and global in berlin and we're also here with our correspondent. correspondent simon young thanks so much both of you for being here start with you all off so we saw centrist parties losing support across the board in europe also very much mirrored here by the results we saw in germany why is this why is this happening now i think if the general trend and reflect somehow the situation and most of the $28.00 members countries or in the

end we have to be clear so we're talking about the european elections but we have seen $28.00 national elections and they're totally run sometimes by domestic genders so there's not a coherent one but for germany you could see there's a trend going on for years now and the grand coalition is not very popular or vesty and simon looking forward what does this mean for the german government if there isn't this traditional centrist party that's anchoring things now yeah i mean you could think it could bring some instability is a massive pushback the both government policies of the would result in a national vote for both the conservatives and social democrats and there's been a lot of talk about of the leaders of both parties and or knowledge of the s p d you know this is the 1st real electoral test for. many in the media and even in some of their own party is saying you know should she stay in the role she's admitted that there have been communication failure is something. for the need

leader of the christian democrats as well i'm going to medicals party who i'm a great about who's only been in the job for 6 months people are saying you know did she get it right and she's admitting they need to do both parties are actually saying they need to do more to address issues like climate change which is clearly brought out a huge green vote and things like the digital agenda as well so both parties looking at what they did wrong but i think the fact that they're weak than they have been before means the probably cling together and hang on to government as much as they can and on the flipside we've got the green party seargent now how do you think they're going to be using their newfound power yeah i mean they clearly are doing enormously well they come out 2nd in this in this national vote and they've clearly had a lot of success appealing to younger voters as the one sadistic side 18 to 24 year

old says more than a 3rd of them chose the grades so it's a huge success for them they're saying they're going to apply pressure particularly for instance in the states of braman where previously the yesterday's as democrats were getting challenged more than 70 years they've lost power there are talks about a coalition it's just one small state but it shows that the in that case the greens may very well. join the join the local government there and the greens on resurgent and looking to join a potential future government perhaps indeed in coalition with conservatives but since you mentioned the at the voting demographics all off it looks like especially this time we had this huge voter turnout unprecedented the last 20 years 51 percent and it looks like the youth played a particularly big role in this this go around why is that yeah it goes a line with this friday for futures demonstrations for instance but also other top . like the you copyright directive was

a major class for classic moderate parties with used because you could see there's a lack of understanding all saw what it means what you tube ers are we have this case in germany now where a quite popular or you tube or published video 55 minutes actually addressing exactly this group of 18 to 24 old it started with a couple of 1000 that was covered by national media and now we're up to 11 millions and the c.d.u. is under pressure the c.d.o. party is waiting for a response they invited him to talk to him and he's refusing to so it turns the other way around so all this lead young people are now pushing for more say big politics and turning of the tables did of these political correspondent simon young and all a phone call from reza aslan global thank you both so much well in italy the far right populist league party appears to have made huge gains projections show the

party led by italy's interior minister met any has earned around a 3rd of the vote so then he spent the election campaign networking with other far right parties across europe. now we have the 1st party in the north and the south we got about 50 percent in so many cities and we also came 1st in many cities in the sense of we will go to work with even more energy passion and dedication the league is not only the 1st party it is really marine le pen is also the top european party in france and nigel for roger's party is the top party in britain so it's really france and england it is a sign of a europe which is changing. did obvious thomas sparrow has been following the italy vote for us from milan and he gave us this reaction too much of a nice post results press conference. it was around 1 in the morning when salvini stole into this room here in the party headquarters and without accepting any

questions he spoke about a moment of responsibility and it's really about historic mission to defend it's at least interests and it's of these values and you once again demonstrated that for him this goes well beyond it to these borders it is something international and he spoke about the results in france and the results in the united kingdom for faraj and spoke about a sign that that means that europe is changing as far as the tunnel politics in each of the concern because again there has been speculation about what the results could mean for each of these governing coalition he said that he will be back to work in rome tomorrow and he does not see the coalition partners as enemies but that he's a verse or is there on the left side of the political spectrum for so for him back to work tomorrow after this result that you strive obviously as one very important one for spots. and turning now to britain the u.k.

is best known populist leader is of course nigel farage has a brand new brags that party came out on top in many parts of the u.k. according to her that means his party should have a seat at the negotiating table in any future brags that talks with the european union we've got a deadline of the 31st of october all right that is the day which was supposed to leave the european union that's implied by the saw and. is we've got a mandate now we devolved to people all over again shooting scene to get this country ready to believe whatever the soccer so joining me now from london is forest whiting alex listening to nigel farage there his new brags that party has done extremely well in this election this must be a big blow to the 2 main parties. yes it is it's been a complete humiliation for both the labor party and the governing conservative

party the conservative party doing its was in an election in almost 200 years they will probably win just 4 seats having lost around 14 since those last elections and labor to bitterly disappointed with their result nigel franchise brecht's it party only set up a. storm so far 28 seats likely to be 29 in niger fraudulency a very happy man this morning. at the same time the liberal democrats which is one of the leading party is that support staying in the e.u. also did very well and they've been pushing for a 2nd referendum on break that right yes that's right the liberal democrats have won in london that's the only region that they've won with the brits party winning the other regions that have declared but that's what's interesting about this it shows just how divided the u.k. is still over bricks it because the liberal liberal democrats will have one around

about 15 seats and the green party which is also pro a 2nd referendum and remaining in the u.k. will also have done extremely well winning around about 7 seats so you've got a big split is still within the electorate just like you have within the political parties here the liberal democrats are obviously very pleased with their result they were almost written off at the last general election so it is something for them to be very happy about but it does just prove how divided the u.k. still is over bricks it so on the one hand we've got the programs that party we've got the lib dems which are pro remained on the other side and then all of this is happening while there's this huge battle now being waged in the conservative party over who will be the next leader of the next prime minister how does this result play into that. well certainly the fact that the brics it paunchy have done so well will play into that leadership contest because many of the candidates who have

declared so far such as boris johnson saying that they need to be the party that delivers bricks it and whether it's with a deal without a deal it needs to happen they will be feeling very very concerned about nigel froggies huge win over night particularly that nigel froggie saying that they need to have a say at the negotiating table so that will worry them but i think really what we're seeing is that this is a big obviously a big debate over grex it but really for the conservative party it's all about them and how can they survive bear is a lot of fear among conservative m.p.'s and also party members that could the conservatives now be wiped out if they do not deliver bricks it so that they will be trying to do while also having to remember the hoff of the country still not very keen on brics it's a tall alex for us waiting for us in london thank you so much and now us

take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world fighting has broken out again outside the disputed yemeni city of taiz militias allied to the internationally recognized government fired on positions held by hooty rebels the pro-government forces claim they're advancing but say at least 10 of their fighters have been killed in recent days. thousands of kurdish prisoners in turkey have ended a mass hunger strike they were protesting against prison conditions for the credit leader of. the turkish government lifted a ban on lawyers visiting i was alon who is serving a life sentence for treason and separatism. u.s. president donald trump has said he would back to pan's efforts to open communications with iran trump said he was willing to talk to teheran to avoid quote terrible things developing tensions between the 2 countries his comments came on the 2nd day of his to japan where he met with the country's newly crowned

after. being. told to. keep learning merged reality wait a 2nd we want the whole picture our facts instead of make i.d.s.

shift deliver us. from another reality to cryptocurrency your topics for live in an ever changing digital world let's start with digitalisation. shift. some time in the 26 to you my great granddaughter people are. put with the world be like in your life time in around half a century. when i was born there were. 1000000000 people if you will share the planet with 9000000000. you world with around 2 degrees warmer. evidently sea levels

rise by at least one metre centuries. going to help solve climate impacts which are a greater personal. that's really frightening. why aren't people more consigned. to the 1st w. as a reporter in mexico one of the most dangerous countries for journalists in the world . she's one of the few reporters left in most much she's in

a state of. chapels drug cartel reign supreme. death threats are part of her daily life. they can kill you any time with you have a bodyguard or not. but i refuse to be intimidated and continues to work undaunted . on the way to a remote district away from us much she says she has a meeting with women who have been searching for their missing children for us. now it's become a search for bodies. there are so many we're going to get a mole it's full of it was seriously ill i think will stay here tonight for 3 skeletons and apparently a big gray. wacko at

a stench. because this is about it this one is decomposing still well if it hasn't been a long while the past really welcoming that i'm going to broadcast this live song. but then we will be as nothing on both were in one horse a very last with the searchers a 4th day they've been here since sunrise. they were told there might be some secret graves here. they've discovered one on the scene as i can this was women's loved ones have disappeared is good enough when we get it here we can see the bones i keep well i wasn't there a bones here well thought about was most likely the women have already dug up several graves. for bodies one is still decomposing the other is the skeletons or it looks like a secret graveyard doesn't mean all yes yes it does and if it's a secret graveyard those who are very the people here might come back and they should send some security plays with scared but i wouldn't look at them as

a way that. minimal tina is leading the group some of these women have been looking for their sons for years many were killed by members of the drug cartel and buried in anon places. and over half of those have disappeared the disappear to feed us a thought have been connected to the drug scene. says that this is often the case because of the poor drop prospects in the region. man and the others often dig into the areas controlled by the drug cartel and so make them their enemies. at least they told us we should stop searching otherwise the same will happen to us one day someone will find us in a grave and when the end of wanting to turn up was. just a few a little safer amanda has now a personal bodyguard an ex older was armed and never takes his eyes off her. the search continues. after this is a body part that we found in one of the graves there is the owner of the rod and

the hand. individual body parts bones with skin and clothing remnants come to light. the smell of decay almost unbearable the journalists. the mothers what's unbearable as the uncertainty is that child this time. i'm glad and yet at the same time i'm sad because i don't know if it's my son or hers but i think in the end. it doesn't matter who sanity is what. we're searching for them because we love them and it feels like my heart is going to jump out my body is shaking my ears a shot you want will you carry on. i'm not going anywhere if it's possible to stay here i will. i mean are you scared no no i'm not scared they've already done their

worst what can they do to me now. you're a good friend. i want to find him finally i'm waiting and waiting every day i wait. all the. hours later the municipal police has turned up and he says that corrupt police officers involved in the up duction it's ordered by the cartel the police do not deny this. but you have got the i mean if you are going to have one of our seems bent and if you can dance his problem but we are not bent. on winning. there are officially over 40000 people missing in mexico but they are probably more . men and the other mothers have found almost $500.00 of them dead for.

the safety of their yes yes they were like i am leaving 9 on this day alone and the police find even more some have been dead not even for 2 weeks. there still also a lot left to do. takes a different route to work every day just one of her many safety precautions we have . been in if i go to work like somewhere that somebody was killed and since i try to go with a colleague from a different medium. i will. report that i have to protect myself thinks you. know that i do is just one of the broadcasters that will see now works for. she is no one can

be america for a long time as journalists here in the state of sinaloa they are also sufferers. so you see in this case there is their freedom of speech here. almost 30 percent perhaps that's the state of our country before they used to say don't cross the drug cartels the military or the church i don't know don't cross the politicians now don't cross the politicians because there's a peace and the police. at the same time leisurely today our program's ratings will go up today our guest is the woman who knows most about the security situation and seen a lot all rather the lack of it yes i think so too. short of the oh thank you for listening. and we'll start off with the big story of the week. let me tell you that over the weekend crime for sirius was transformed into a gigantic graveyard 15 bodies were found. dead bodies were brought to the morgue

in lost much chance for all those who have missing loved ones. but i see those just enough follows up on the searching my thoughts regularly despite the fact that she has received many open threats. because i don't know when i remember once there was a funeral wreath with my name on it in front of my door you don't forget something like that because when it was a form of intimidation as if to say you find bodies you find dead people here you are at your funeral raef. the threat almost became reality about 10 years ago 10 members accused her of spying for another cartel or working for the government so the cartel abducted her. the rent is going to be oh my life was in danger i knew they'd either kill me or let me go but i had already seen all the faces. get back they come so i thought they would kill me i don't know that you know one of them

said it was time and made this gesture. another one asked me if i had a last wish. they would be more than. i said they're in the not bless you because they're in the us you're turning my daughters into an orphan. get they will we need to let god like your path and let you be well said go i see i see almost i now the last time he looked at me and said nobody had ever said anything like that to him who he. thought i would act as if he told me they usually say let me go and i'll give you money cars and land that is the essence of my goal at that moment he made his hand on me. who was. now tossing up on my leg and said have you not go out today she's ok yeah. this is the road where they let her go look straight ahead i told her look back

once and you're dead you're coming now i i walked straight on trial you all spoiled me sick us and i prayed to god for my daughters and my family. in that moment i realized i was doing the only thing. because a lot of the only things possible in the lower we have to fight for freedom of speech so that there is no corruption no impunity has called the way back again and again it seems when you that it's hard if you see. archy be on stand them and you always live with the risk if you're on the cartels list they can kill you at any time they're not of course yes i think was what i mean with or without a body guard that might then work in a moment as if they are one of us by that as a day as a score that. she only really understood how close it had been when a colleague of hers was kidnapped just a few days later she knew him and had researched the drug scene with him as well 2

weeks later his body was found in black plastic bags. all that hey if it's me. how are you. very well. and then. to see not often visit her sister lara who looks after her youngest daughter chose a lean window scene or has a long day. was made 8 years she's always been very committed to her work from the start. we go what was it like for me and i'm. like her children's mother sees that better the she's missed many important moments in her daughter's lives than this and larry that this was the house is gone more. and

she's not here most of the time or you're. still there. i'm sad because i know that something happened to her that i am. though because i know that she's not safe when she's working. she's always very strong she doesn't always show her feelings so that we don't feel burdened that my family and i think that what she's doing is a very good. and yes it is article posting about me i know they're always worried about me which out but it's moving to hear it so you know whether this is me most you know they look at the end i think a mother is an example for. what has to be done.
