president the trumps met with irish prime minister lee overrun but otherwise it's been billed as a low key visit with the couple spending 2 nights at one of mr trump's golf resorts thailand's parliament has voted to keep china as the country's prime minister for another 5 years the former army chief led a military coup back in 2014 and has been in charge ever since china which is a victory today was all but assured because the upper house of parliament was handpicked by the military. in denmark the country's center left opposition the social democrats are poised for a resolving general election victory voters cast their ballots today with many predicting a strong showing for the country's left is why after they pledge to maintain denmark's strict immigration laws exit polls indicate that they'll take 90 of the 179 seats in parliament it will pave the way for party leader met to frederickson
10:11 pm
to form a government. are for more on this now i'm joined by on and so if you want the international editor at donna's radio station 247 it's good to have you on the program you know we just saw a couple of weeks ago across europe the social democrats the left really taking a beating and yet here we have the social democrats pulling off a great big victory in denmark how do you explain that. well codd of the story is that says social democracy in europe today i think is 2 different things you've got a more classical version of social democracy and then you've got social democratic parties among them the danish social democratic party in effect breaking free of little bit and seeking new ground to what extent was it in a social democrats is to maybe move a little bit to the left on a welfare policy but then go steeply to the right on
10:12 pm
a migration value policy justice policy and that's really the key to their success and one can say. the mix between sort of social democracy classic and populism. it's centric populist and maybe is what has handed them to power but having said that they have been the power thanks to the supporting 3 posses in the so-called red block and so what it sounds like we're seeing then is that the social democrats in denmark are still maintaining the left but also appropriating parts of the center right what does that mean then for the parties of the center right there the big losers are you. well right now we see a quite significant disintegrations among. liberal and conservative
10:13 pm
hotties in denmark and by disintegration i mean a lot of different parties actually trying to get elected on a sort of right wing ticket rag now and it's it appears as if 11 parties in total of being elected to parliament tonight which is a lot of different parties and so. that is part of the reason i think you know many parties too little coordination on the right wing but also that is so that the right wing has invited sort of populism unbolted and and is losing that battle and i think has a significant job to do trying to identify this spirit on this so to the liberal and conservative so after this we understand that there was a poor showing for the country's largest immigrant force the danish people's party meanwhile there's been a surge of support for ross was pollutants far right party how do you explain that
10:14 pm
. well. the far right party which is extremely extremely far right so it's not nothing like we've seen full in this country and it doesn't appear to make it above the threshold of 2 percent to make it into parliament at this point. there has been some support 1.8 percent i think at this at this moment more or less which is also a lot of people because he is and she wants to throw everyone that doesn't have at least 2 danish grandparents out of the country and other very very extreme policies but. it's it has it has appeared that there has been room to the rights of the danish people's party populist right wing party for more extreme policy and i think denmark has some reckoning to do at this point with
10:15 pm
a posse that recent polls but it's not as extreme as paladins and. it does appear to have made it. a lot for the radio station 247 giving us variable analysis of the general election in denmark thank you were trying to use president xi jinping is in moscow for talks with russian president vladimir putin and he's in said that ties with russia have never been better the 2 leaders are working to further improve relations to counter mounting pressure from washington now the trip marks she's a visit to russia since taking office back in 2012. a reception in the st george told in the kremlin the expectations are high china wants to show its muscle in the trade war with the u.s. and since western sanctions have been in effect russia wants to get closest to its
10:16 pm
biggest neva. it's russia's role materials like oil and gas that china is most interested in a 2000 kilometer pipeline will be operating by the end of the year to satisfy china's increased energy needs the russian energy group grasp from wants to become china's most important gas supplier. she of national last year we set a goal to reach 90000000000 euros worth of bilateral trade thanks to the efforts of our teams our 2 governments we have exceeded this number in the 1st quarter of this year trade is also on the increase it is already up more than 3.4 percent for us and. we've met almost 30 times in the last 6 years russia is the foreign country i have visited the most and president putin is my closest friend and a good colleague. the woman ties between the 2 states a visible and tourism too for a long time germans made up the bulk of visitors to russia now it's china the
10:17 pm
number of chinese tourists has almost doubled in the last 5 years. where in europe the european commission has taken the 1st step in triggering disciplinary action against italy for breaking e.u. fiscal rules the dispute centers on the country's ballooning debt currently valued at 132 percent of the country's total economic output that is more than double of what's a well by e.u. regulations. the european commission's message is loud and clear it's the end of the line for italy's ballooning public debt. we know is if they suppose for recall what he. really wasn't member states already taken it was a success so this boss folse renewed reform effort and not spending more wins additional fiscal space to loose italy's current debt stands at 132 percent of annual g.d.p.
10:18 pm
in other words the country owes far more than the value of its entire economic output under the rules member states aren't supposed to amass debts that exceed 60 percent of their annual g.d.p. . italy has been ruled by a coalition of the league party and 5 star movement during the election they promise to end government cutbacks and boost social spending while reducing taxes in addition the government hopes to lower italy's retirement age the coalition says the measures will help kick start italy's sputtering economy and cut the country's unemployment but make it i don't even have a job the politicians before were fox is now the ones here what do nothing as well it's getting worse and worse it always seems to get worse. look i'm worried by many things to tell you the truth a little bit also about the disciplinary procedures as well but they are only one of many things that have worried. critics say the program would likely cause it least get to grow even further and that's something the european commission is the
10:19 pm
looking to prevent. well the images are disturbing police in the austrian capital be facing criticism after several videos appeared on social media showing officers violent detention of climate change protesters take a look at this this video shows someone being beat alongside an incident where a man's head was shoved under a pony's veil. police are facing accusations of excessive force and of in danger in that man's life. pictures there are social media editor 0 also here is here to talk through the stories or tell us more about the video so these videos have made the rounds on twitter over the last few days following these climate change protest and being out last friday the 1st video that we saw. you can see a protester being beaten it's unclear why he's being beaten but the police have
10:20 pm
come out and said in the statement that they did use physical force. if if demonstrators resisted arrest now probably the incident that has caused most of the uproar is the 2nd video where you can see a man being shoved under a police van the driver of the police and then stops the vehicle and appears to be about to roll over his head before he is called away last minute by the arresting officer and all these officers are watching us this is going on too yeah so the discussion the discussion that's going on at the moment is whether the police know not only endangered his life but even deliberately. tortured him basically what has been the reaction to this on social media i mean there's been plenty of reaction we have we had the reaction from the protests himself that he was under that his name is. he said go ahead and scream no one will believe you
10:21 pm
anyway that was what i was told by the officer who was twisting my arm i guess he was wrong was ever action from a police officer to offer to studying this footage sided with the protesters he said this is in no way a mistake and that's awful what the police saying about so they 1st they came out saying that the media coverage of this of the dumbest. it was biased and especially about this incident with the man who ended up on a vehicle obviously then the video was released and then there now they have backtracked they have changed it shooting and they posted a tweet saying this video perspective shows a dangerous situation regardless of the criminal investigation that's already underway this incident will be included in the deployment tactics and mission training that are part of police evaluation of zenger situations or not admitting to doing wrong well they have one of the officers in question he has been taken off

to see. through the. a perfect family is pricey $160.00 euros per person for a few hours but if she does things the idea has a lot of potential given japan's aging population. some of them don't have family grandchildren or a wife and kids that are there for them. you know i think that over time this sort of family rental service will become more popular listen and. even if rental relatives cultural place real family members in an aging japan it's a way to keep the family table full. and here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you britain's queen elizabeth has joined the world leaders including germany's chancellor angela merkel and he was president donald trump to mark the 75th anniversary of d.-day the largest seymour
