i think we'll need to know what is happening there. you know, we're seeing guardians of truth watch know on youtube dw documentary. ah ah, this is dw news life from berlin. finland goes to the poles to select a new parliament, popular prime minister summer marinez seeking a 2nd term in office. she's facing a strong challenge from the fog writes, but she tell support us. i'm in to winning store and tear through

several, you estates, leaving at least 26 people. dead, arkansas declare an emergency and holes in the national guard after multiple tornadoes strikes, leave a trail of devastation. ah . hello monica jones. good to have you with us. we start in sim land where parliamentary elections are underway. polls are predicting a close race between the 3 main parties. ballads from early voters that already been counted with a record 40 percent of voters choosing to cast their vote in advance. social democrat, prime minister, santa marine is hoping to secure a 2nd term in office which is facing a strong challenge from far ride leader rica pura so we asked dw brussels correspondent, terry schultz. how the election was going. we expect turn out to be very high

monica in part because in early voting and absentee voting, 40 percent of fins already cast their ballots. so it's clear that interest is very high with a race. this close, as i mentioned there in the report, the 3 leading parties are within the margin of error, even in, in the pre both polling. they were as little as one percentage point between the 1st place and the 3rd place party, which is at this point, a prime minister son in lawrence. so interest is very high and i would expect a high turn out even in person voting today. rights are very tight race, but the nationalist fins party has gained attraction in the previous years. why are they so popular? certainly in the last election as well. they were very popular and you know, for the other parties were a risk to take the top spot. and you never know with parties like this, whether it's a protest vote against the other mainstream, traditional parties, or whether people actually support some of the tenants in the,

in the fins party program. which at this point is focusing on anti immigration. but they also say they would like to pull finland out of the european union. that is not a very popular opinion in finland. so as i say, it's not clear what, how much they support the fins and how much people just want to vote against the conservative coalition party and against m r s t p. so you just mentioned something very interesting, of course that one of the parties is interested in pulling finland out of the you, however, popular unpopular that is, what could this election outcome then mean for the you i think they result for the european union is unlikely to be very dramatic, even if the fins party comes in 1st. what might have more in it of an impact is how long it takes finland to form a government. because son amarion says social democrats say they refuse to go into a coalition with the fins that their coalition party says it would join up. but to others of the current government coalition, the greens in the left say that they also will not join

a party with the fins to eye surgery joint is government coalition with the fins. so that could be very, very messy. and so in addition to finding out what the vote counts are what the parliamentary seats are, when results come in later today, people are going to be talking about how on earth do we form another government? it's going to be tough, whoever's going to be in charge. well, luckily you keep an eye on it for us still be usa. terry shoulds their reporting from brussels. thank you so much. terry. russia has taken over the rotating presidency of the united nations security council, sparking a furious reaction in ukraine in his daily address, ukraine's president vladimir lansky deemed it absurd, and he called the council a bankrupt institution. he says it ought to be reformed, so as not to allow a terrorist state to disrupt peace. so landscape also called for russia to be held accountable for its actions in ukraine. meanwhile, on the front line,
