beats me and. to entrap let's say you want to know their story. it's reliable information for margaret. this is the news live from our european elections deal a historic blow to germany's conservative. social democrats the green party comes up big in germany more than doubling its share of saints in the e.u. parliament ahead of the ruling c.d.u. meanwhile the banks that got it wrong especially on climate change.

made while nationalist parties topped the vote in a number of european countries but. also on the program austrian chancellor sebastian course is out. to position fosters joined forces to be the 1st with the votes of no confidence back to the far right freedom . meaning government with him until just last week. i'm phil guy welcome to the program. european parties and are jockeying for position after sunday's elections to the a u parliament tilted the balance of power within the bloc and here are some of sunday's key takeaways voters punish traditional centrist parties including germany's governing coalition of conservatives and social democrats but the greens made big advances to become the

country's number 2 party and france's number 3 in the european parliament right wing populists also had a good night winning votes in france the u.k. italy and poland the leader of germany's conservatives the c.d.u. of knowledge of her party had failed to reach many voters. as the results came in at c.d.u. headquarters the scale of the night's losses became clear. a blow for the chancellor but not a reason to step down. or merkel is our elected chancellor we have to think things through we have no plans for a change in leadership because that's not decided by one party alone and chided that's at least i know. it was obvious things weren't going to see the use way even before polls closed once the votes were counted it was up to the party's leader to admit its shortcomings that's a keep this is the seems to me this is the worst result for the c.d.u.

in its entire history either at the european or the federal level. and i want to make it completely clear that this is not in line with our claim to be a big tent party folks might take your fish with the c.d.u. once dominated german politics now voters are asking what the future holds think of you on your own card i think they need to put some thought into who's running things and perhaps also communicate more skillful astonished i don't think there's a bright side for them like there was after the last few elections. the greens on the other hand had every reason to celebrate a stunning performance built on their core topics of climate change and digitalisation never has the party been so successful in a nationwide election it doubled its share of the vote at the expense of the governing coalition. of the national level i would hope the government controlled the right conclusions from these elections and that doesn't mean party leaders

should worry about what their party's needs are right now but that the government as the name suggests should actually start governing preferably in terms of the key issues of climate protection and a pro european orientation. for the other party in germany's ruling coalition shock and disbelief the social democrats also face their worst ever result in a nationwide election. let's get more on this from the w.'s brussels bureau chief max hoffman welcome back so this decline of mainstream center left and center right parties were seen across europe is it likely to impact the makeup of the new parliament. well the real question is how are they going to find a majority for example to elect the next president of the e.u. commission and in the past it was enough to have the social democrats and the conservatives they had more than half of the seats in this european parliament that has by the way a total of $751.00 seats that's no longer the case they will need

a 3rd group either the liberals that are backed by the french president not call or the greens that have had such success as we just saw in that report and now as you can imagine you know between the the greens and the right wing of the conservatives there aren't that many similarities so it's going to be much harder than in the past to find that common ground i can tell you this the groups here in brussels have already started doing that there will be technical talks this evening already in brussels and tomorrow the heads of the different groups will come together to try to gain the momentum and head of the leaders that will gather here in brussels afterwards so i'm going to back to that matter when i call on all those leaders are expected here in brussels is sort of a game of thrones as fans to moments put it the lead candidate for the social democrats and it might drag on for a while let's talk about the greens success what are they offering the drew in so many versions. well 2 words climate change or 3 words the fight against climate

change has more words than that now but you get the gist what i mean because ever since the youth movement descended into the streets in europe in january really started and were fridays for future youth for climate and all that this gained momentum in the greens of course were a party that already had that in their program that had answers to those pressing issues that young voters were asking those questions and the other parties really had some of them tried to jump on the bandwagon but was too little too late and most of the people we interviewed in the last days from those big parties from the social democrats from the conservative is a good knowledge as much is that we need to do something about that so you can expect the fight against climate change to have a rather prominent role in the new european parliament at least more prominent than in the past month hoffman in brussels thank you. right i'm not an english potters had been predicted to surge to success in european elections but

things didn't work out quite that way. francis marine le pen is one of the far right lead to celebrating last night victory of the party president emmanuel mccall was raising thing that she chased by like she say it mean things will have to change in france in future. she was a soft sheila she believes she can get out of the situation where she finds himself tonight the failure to defeat it is experienced with a reach and which she will play recklessly with the saying it will not work that is not what the french people expect. in britain and to european leader nigel for our she also said the success of his party showed not just that britons want to leave the e.u. but that they also want politics to change fundamentally. but the most significant victory of the night went to metairie salvini is far right

party in italy. there when went beyond all expectations salvini said this was a sign that europe was about to undergo a transformation. not only is the league the 1st party in italy but marine le pen is the 1st party in france and the u.k. nodule for august 1st so italy france england it's the sign of a europe that is changing. but despite his success it's unlikely that salvini will be able to fulfill his dream of working with other nationalists to turn the e.u. on its head from within the populace in other countries did not do as well meaning the far right will still be in a minority in the european parliament. and they're also divided among themselves hungary's anti immigrant leader viktor orban netted more than 50 percent of the vote but disagrees with other populists on a range of issues even so analysts say would be no longer possible or why the

europe to go back to business as usual given the gains made by such parties. austrian chancellor sebastian courts and his government have been ousted after opposition parties joined forces in a vote of no confidence the motion was backed by lawmakers from the far right freedom party in coalition with courts until last week it was a spectacular reverse for a leader who only last night was celebrating victory for his party in the european elections. i said sebastian courts shortly after losing a historic no confidence vote austria's youngest ever chancellor is now all suits short of serving head of government he wasted no time in lashing out at his former coalition partners. yet we did talk in recent days we've heard only one thing from the freedom party and the socialist party has to go that's their entire program it well i have to say i hate to disappoint you but i'm still here.

you know in my view was. that the age of no confidence came after a kick to the freedom party out of the governing coalition called new elections the opposition claimed that was an abuse of power and some blamed him for creating a climate of high drama and instability. point here today you must answer for the 1st time questions about all the chaos you have unleashed that time i hope you do that physique and don't just make a campaign speech and if i come for you to infuse now spanker should i like the parliamentary joe sting started after a secretly recorded video surfaced showing freedom party leader heintz christian who was also vice chancellor seeming to offer government contracts in exchange for campaign donations. both the people's party and the freedom party tapped into

widespread right wing populist sentiment and outside of parliament the people's party emerged from european elections strengthened. that has some analysts saying that this no confidence vote may just be a temporary setback for curt's and his people's party in the meantime curt's has promised to abide by the result and let a caretaker government take over until september when he may well be back in the chancellor seat again. i know some of the other stories making news around. the world the head of romania's ruling social democrats lost his bid to have his corruption charges overturned if you drag me must now served 3 and a half years in prison if able to convince an appeals court that he was not guilty of using his influence to procure a fake jobs on the public payroll the 2 women who were actually working for his party. serious white helmet to 1st is responders say at least 6 people have been killed by regime asked strikes on the country's last rebel stronghold the syrian
