this is d.w. news life from european elections deal of blow to germany's mainstream party those whose tools we use is the worst result for the c.d.u. in its entire history. the really conservatives admit they might have lost the country's young voters today switch their allegiances to germany success story of the night the greens whose message on climate change helped them double their seats in the european parliament. and nationalist parties talk to vote in a number of european countries but fall short of

a predicted surge. plus austrian chancellor sébastien is out opposition parties joined forces to remove him with a vote of no confidence and backed by the far right freedom party which had been in government with them until just last week. and how far will you go for a good selfie in india the answer is often too far researchers say the country has racked up half of the world's excelsior related deaths. i'm sumi so much gonna thank you for joining us european parties are now jockeying for position after sunday's elections to the e.u. parliament tilt the balance of power and the bloc here are some of sunday's key takeaways voters punish traditional centrist parties including germany's governing coalition of conservatives and social democrat. but the greens made big advances to

become germany's number 2 party and france is number 3 in the european parliament now right wing populists also had a good night winning the votes in france the u.k. italy and poland far right and nationals parties had been predicted to surge to success all across europe but they didn't quite work out that way. france's marine le pen was one of the far right lead to celebrating last night a victory over the party president emmanuel mccall was razor thin but she usually symbolic she says it means things will have to change in france in future. she was a soft children as she believes he can get out of the situation where she finds himself tonight the failure to defeat the experienced. and which she will play recklessly with the saying will not work that is not what the french people expect . in britain and to european leader nigel farrar 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 to lead party in italy. there when went beyond all expectations salvini said this was a sign that europe was about to undergo a transformation. only used to lead 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 a 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. and we can talk about all of this now with yosef yarning from the european council on foreign relations here in berlin he joins us in our studio yes a thanks for being with us as we said the right wing populist they didn't see the surge that was expected by some. but they did have their strongest showing yet and parliamentary elections in europe and we have a graphic here that shows where in europe and to what extent voters opted for these parties let's take a look at this in italy the u.k. poland and hungary if we have these numbers i hope over 30 percent of voters went for right wing populist parties so hearing that figure you know how important will

they be in terms of affecting policy making in brussels they can create some trouble because they will put pressure on the majority in parliament to stick together because the european parliament unlike national parliaments discipline is not very high because deputies come from very different backgrounds so you usually need to reach across party lines in order to get a majority with a substantial populist nationalist. membership there you have to reach out further in order to get a majority and that means you have to make more compromises sometimes you won't have the kind of debates that the parliament needs the debates about what is the right way because all of the pro e.u. parties have to stick together and some for right so they can certainly cause some trouble but you're saying another big narrative that we saw is that the centrist parties are saying they're supporting again a road and it was a difficult day for them not least in germany let's take a closer look now. 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. is our elected chance that 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 views 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 good this is does historically 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 but take us through the c.d.u. once dominated german politics now voters are asking what the future holds think of

you and your own god i think they need to put some thought into who's running things and perhaps also communicate more skillful astonished doesn't 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 parties needs are right now but that the government as the name suggests should actually start governing it 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. ok so yes if we saw there are 2 big trends that we can take away from the election one we discussed these a centrist party splintering but also smaller parties on the right but also the left like the greens surging so what do they have that the conservatives and the social democrats in the center don't have but i think there's there's one advantage that the greens bring into this is that they look fresh they look young they look more like the mainstream of society where as the traditional parties have become rather old you know they are they are not representative of the mainstream of society and oftentimes they lack the language and i think the greens have going for them that they at this point represent the feeling of large segments of the society much better than than the traditional parties so those traditional parties of loss of credibility that yes they do and you know the greens tend to say this is all about climate now i have some doubts whether actually the germans at large i was so

driven by the climate issue that they double the vote for the greens i think that lifestyle thing is much more effective on the greens than the climate issue going forward if we look at where the chips are going to fall in the european parliament you said that at some point now the pro e.u. forces will have to realise they're going to have to band together can they they can but they will not necessarily do it the same way as the traditional coalition between the socialists on the one side and the conservatives on the other side which have basically run this parliament for the past 40 years now and that means when the greens and the liberals have to be tied into a package they will have their own demands and that will not just be a continuation of the old rules they will want to shave of the work of the parliament just as the traditional leaders parties have done so in the past how will they want to do so how will this look different well for example they may object to month becoming necessarily the candidate of the parliament for the

commission president simply because. if that was the case then for the next elections it seems that the p.-p. would have a structural 1st choice of that position and they will not accept that so that could be one symbolic way in which they contest the old system another one would be that they say well we want a different setting in the in the parliamentary positions when it comes to the presidency when it comes to the committee chairs when it comes to the procedures one quick question on voter turnout over 50 percent the highest in around 20 years what does that tell us people are interested in europe again i think people have understood that the e.u. is not a concrete block it can fall apart and that it's actually something that needs to support of its citizens and so more people have gone to the elections than have done over the past elections and that's a good sign right yes of getting from the european council on foreign relations thanks for sharing your insights with us pleasure. now 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 who are in coalition with quartz 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. that sebastian cortes shortly after losing a historic no confidence vote austria's youngest ever chancellor is now well suits short of serving head of government he wasted no time in lashing out at his former coalition partners. he ought to get caught in recent days we've heard only one thing from the freedom party and the socialist party cause has to go that's their entire program well i have to say i hate to disappoint you but i'm still here. you know in my view i the fate 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 here today you must answer for the 1st time questions about all the chaos you have unleashed at that time i hope you do that for free and don't just make a campaign speech and they've are comforted in these now spanker should i. the parliamentary joe sting started after a secretly recorded video surfaced showing freedom party leader his christians trashing 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 a wide spring right wing populist sentiment and outside of parliament the people's party emerged from european elections strengthening. that has some analysts saying

that this no confidence vote may just be a temporary setback for kurtz 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. w. has awarded its 5th annual freedom of speech award to mexican journalist and author on about had none of this she accepted the award from to get the director general cuter than birth a few minutes ago with the global media forming. on a have none of this has reported extensively on drug trafficking in mexico government corruption and alleged collusion between drug cartels and government officials her work has brought her numerous death threats and she now lives in self-imposed exile. did i caught up with the journalist after the ceremony these for me has to face because in one way i'm happy i'm proud of my jaw i'm happy that someone is watching where i'm doing therefore that i put in every piece

the global media forum this year's theme is the changing dynamics of politics and the media which have been brought into sharp focus recently by leaders who challenge the legitimacy of journalists and their work germany's president was one of today's standout force us. german president frank. d.w. director general peter limburg discussed the shift in journalistic power towards large media platforms meyer says more and more people get their news from the likes of you tube and twitter leading to a polarized society. the tone has become much coarser sometimes even vicious especially on social media. since there is nothing left between black and white no compromise in thinking is possible and the one who presents other viewpoints and arguments is often treated as an opponent and enemy. $100.00 politicians researchers and journalists from

$140.00 countries have come together in bonn to discuss the relationship between power and the media it's also a chance for d.w. to start a dialogue with its own audience. the global media forum is an excellent chance for us to connect with those studio use broadcasting partners and for its own programs but it's very important to have a good connection with them and it's also important to have people around the globe coming here together and talking about media and shifting palos i think this is. enough reasons to make this conference for today's high ranking guests we'll discuss artificial intelligence the future of broadcasting and state censorship presidents shine my are encouraged ernest everywhere to continue to fight for a free press. buttons even moot keep your courage to report on things that make governments uncomfortable democracy needs all of you. but beyond
