brakes it bill to reason may says it will take place in early june. and the latest on her is that she set to name an actual date. for her resignation as the bill appears to be foundering. well it's been a corresponding negative reaction to mrs mays declaration only this week that she take the bill before the house of f commons for a fouour. time. to join me in sending my meanwhile the open alexian is that's been voting this does in the netherlands and in the u. k. at this the start of a full day voting process the twentieth thank you kay yes very much about about. exit. a new reform party led by arch bridge city and i know tomomorrw is his -- bar had been you polls closing begins. latest official party in of official position rather in second place. use the in the in metal insist that the labor party that has taken a surprise lead b bucking. at the opinion polls before under two tipping off -- the

showdown between the conservatives in the far right but it's still kind of looking towards the labour party victory that. well the elections are one of the world's largest it's a massive size and democracy the full results expect to be published. on sunday. kicking off europe's four day electoral extravaganza dutch and british voters cast their ballots between may twenty third and may twenty sixth some four hundred million eligible voters from twenty eight different countries are heading to the polls. most of them will vote on sunday and after the last polls close at eleven pm in italy the results will finally be announced. and then the jockeying for the top leadership positions and coalitions kicks into high gear. the vototing rules vary by couny but all use proportional systems to elect their allotted number of any peas. for the next five year tererm they'll be the ones passing the laws that rule the european union. with votes on trade the environment or immigration the seven hundred and fifty one members of the european parliament set the blocks common

rules. soso how are the ballotsts exped to fall pollsls show that in an era of rising populism many voters plan to snub the mainstream parties for smaller groups. many of them populace. on the right and the left summer euro skeptic summer not. in france for example a manual macaroons party is neck and neck in thehe polls w with havingg te fansns far right nationanal ral. endedd italy's matteo salvini populist legal party is expected to rake in big wins. then there's the uk and nigel garages newly created greg the party could deliver a heavy blo. but the seats of the uk's seventy three members will be in limbo ready to be set aside -- distributed to other nations if the united kingdom does leave the european union. draws the pen and other leaders from populist groups are splintered bunch in strasbourg in brussels and are often not part of larger coalitions. but were the populist groups to join forces and put aside their

differences. they could drastically change the direction of you policies. the voting continues let's get the analysis r rocks of joints s program director for the institute of government jungle rip up the script because i was anticipating asking about the rise of the rights populism cooler but if you like nationalism call it whatever you like but the first. exit poll we're getting is from the netherlands where it appears that the dutch labor party is a basically in the lead up how do you think that's happened. i don'n't know thahat much about dutch politics that't's k.. quie an interestiting resesult becaue part o of the more. general european story has being the decline off the soror of social democratic left sidide tt we verery interestingng. obviously it'ss just a an exit l i d don't know e enough to knknw whether t the dutch exit polls e very reliable or not. but to be interested so interesting to see if that's replicateded in other. european countries in new jersey we're talking about problems obviously where the the focus is

not. on this your traditional left right on the mac f from viruses simmering the pan -- just a show down so that's quite interestin. equally here i think you weree saying thatthe labor p party in the u. k. look. as there iss placing second i thinink they rerequire them to e blue quite relieved if the labor party comes second to the brexit party needs e eopean electction. is s some pollsls at least put m running shoes that are behind the liberal democrats. indeed on the issue of brexit as honest about an exit but next being the level of leaving the evil let's move on from that and talk about the u. k. because klay that's the next will respect the results from -- in terms of what's happening that i'm clearly eight six it's not a referendum it's it's it's it's a kind of protest i suppose about how break that has been run. well miss round. it's it's it's a proxyxy

referendum so if the house mean that much campaigning it wasas y confirmed very late that the u. k. would actually be taking par. in these elections both major parties very much hoped that even if we have an extension to our school fifty we could avovod these elections arere not s sene they beads a are imposed on us. byby the cououncil robobin's cho british politicians. and the campaigns by the majojor paparties have i think being -- bebest describ as very lackluster the conservative. last week could not have been more low key i if they really tried -- so it's been dominated by the brexit party just been running. quite big rock rallies apart a very good social media campaign. and has been dominating the headlines. it might be because of changes to the new group that was formed change u. k.. the people who break away and in the air from the lababor par. and the conservatives were they seem to be floundering rather so it doesn't seem to be going to have the wealth of them that were busy. people are still voting. there big surprises being there rejuvenation the liberal democrats up on seventh may we

had like collection over. at night may we had like elections back in the u. case it just a couple weeks ago. and off the b back of those this seems to bring quite out of my mention. the liberal democrats and the greens you did really surprising well in those elections. and they've managed to run that route into. the elections today so. there's a lot of jostlingg. of the p people who want a secod referendum on who is the standard bearer of remain when - if you want a new deal brexit if you just want to get brexit dow. then it's veryry o obvious parto buy for not snydeder frogs b brt partyy. much less obvious which is the best choice. if you wanant to remamain in th. u.. at liberal democrarat green snp pride coverering in wales welsh nationalalists i'mm. readady the concertrt iss beinge oversee sufferiring thahat big divisions of problems which reason may. but late was also suffered quesestion not from being

appearing to you know not be clear whether ridges when did you leave the ear. or whether it spreads go and have a second referendum and seems to be suffering quite a lot of holes because a lot. of messages that if you're not clear about things and oversee if you name the party after what you want to do with it what it doesn't the ten at saturates saturate coming is a very clearr message to the voters i suppose. but still a l lot to work out yr rights of the institute of government thank you for your analysis we appreciate your time thank you very much indeed. voting continues the european elections of review all the results of the analysis as it happens special programming here across the weekend course. sunday night the big night little assaults will be reveale. x. eleven paris tens of thousands of indonesian military and place it on the streets of jakarta this that that. they set as a deadline apprproaches for a presidentiail challenger to file an appeal of claims of widespread cheating in last month's election at least seven people have been killed. including a seventeen year old high school student of the two nights of writing the capital as police clash of protest as

attack on the president's supporter base. well the newew york federal reserve a sayays the presidenent trumump's trade war w with china will cosost us consumers an average eight hundred and thirty one dollars per household this year. research by the international monetary fund rick meanwhile suggests the lion's share of those terrorists have in fact been paid by us i importers. surely sip on reports. don't believe the trade war is pushing prices up check it out for yourself in stores like this one in wisconsin. the owner of this bike shop compare similar models but before the first wave of terror of hank's last year. and after that hank is about like. three sixty and very similar bike different color not much change we're looking at about like three ninety on this guy s. more entries than typical by a couple times. and consumers h have noticed the difference. i'm not gonna buy a bike right

now and tell. things settle down. but that's only the beginning until now manany companies like this bike designer absorbed the change i in prices. they won't be able to continue specially if tariffs are raised again. and they can't just change your suppliers as recommended by president donald trump. for that industry lives in prison china doesn't exist anywhere else. this us company based in china makes vinyl tiles it faces the same uncertainty over the short and long term effects of the crisis. ththe 25% goes into effect and process into the fall then for sure.. layoffs will happen for us and for many of the people in our industry. here too the product is specific to china and the company is not planning a relocation. at least for now. meanwhile the tech industry is

in while some twenty five thousand jobs are at risk in the u. k.. british steel's owner greybull capital has said thehe collapse was largely due to brag that the market has to be said there are a lot of factors playing into this. of the steel industry in general is really really crumbling certainly far beyond the reach of brexit. and date it's one of the yes side factors of all times of a freight kate thank you very much to b be capable of thihis greato see. the closest you give me james hit me to watch h good evening w concerns overr the issue of p ps frfreedom here in france. fresh concerns after number journalists have been summoned for questioning. and this is questioning by french intelligence yes absolutely the d. g. s. or a which is the domestic intelligence services basically the equivalent. of the fbi and the u. s. -- mi five in the united kingdom another french paper le monde to set its consent of the world really is watching on this one the washington post among those reports take. this story -- because our initial is a very experienced

reporter he works for the mold that she will be questioned by the d. g. s. all right next week but she is just the latest in a long line of journalists. and now her reporting has included out she was the one to break the story about alex on to ban allah which is one of the big embarrassment for emmanuel michael probably the biggest threat to his presidency. instead of because we have the end of this process which helps to use that to the lilittle butt it's sunny very damaging story. at two emmanuel macro. cheaper thought story has fallen up since at this is just one of her pieces talking about the man in the elysee sade's at now in the spotlight. i which revealed that others were complicit in trying to cover up for an excellent -- but not a lot and what had happened at because the because mr been allah if you don't remember was not she very close to the edge of the french president. at he was the deputy to the president's chief of staff often seen next to him on the campaign trail when he was looking to become. at the french presidents -- and this is the story that -- ended with ops may the first last year

heas not that protest to observe the police for an hour and yeah granted him at the gray hoodie that assaulting a protest he was captured on film -- being pretty violet with quite a few different people and and he rolls at basically initiate nobody knew about it if they need thanks to theeeporting of a shimmer. that we now know all of this and that he was asked to observe police -- rather than act like one and has had a please armand. and as i said not the only journalists to face questioning of this ilk at levels asha saying that in full months h. journalists have been cooled before the domestic intelligence services to face that questioning. i'm they include a journalist from the television show could to the who reported on the story all of french arms being sold to saudi arabia. and this one to you -- with the use of french arms in yemen a number of journalists at least on that -- one some from the nga

at which is cool disclose at and ththey reported on the fact that the weaponsns were beining usedn the complex. and they could be jailed on they'll say face serious finds t. because what they're accused of is compromising sequence of national defense. i am now the intercept has a very interesting piece about exactly what happens when these journalists all called in for questioning. they'll take into a heavily fortified building taken full fools below ground and then quizzed about the story sesil says and all of the social media posts and the like. now we've heard from that the government spokesperson said better in day -- that she believes this all to be normal and that journalists are subject to judicial review just as anyone else would be. too and it will be interesting to see how this plays out the records for that to be a protest at boeing french media at next week and next wednesday. when that ariel sharon is g. to

face questions does nothing judicial upping holed up in front of the intelligence services and the words of thomas jefferson a liberty come begada but by the freedom of the press? nor that'd be limited without danger of losing it our freedoms freedom the press is essential in any democracy and to be following the story very closel. now the details of a new satirical chat show. of course duster in the u.u. k. becacause of the russian host of this program yes russian in inverted commas because it's cold tonight's with lot of a patient. but it's not real glad to refuse him as you might have guessed it isn't quite a digital effigy he will be interviewing real gas and including the spokesperson. for the former prime minister tony blair alastair campbell you can see him getting high five here from the digital vladimir putin. and but the trailer has been released by the b. b. c. it has gone down to well take a look. it's t the united kiningdom i have won many great victory. but none of them made me truly happy. because until now the greatest

victory has eluded me. that's i mean for you. unbelievable response online tweets like this what kind of weird western propaganda is thi- on my favorite comments at once he voice as a flamboyant freaks because he actually is first to bob interestingly though the russians on happy only that's a question for you is -- he looked about trailer not impressed rush at night that they think that this is anti russian propaganda the print and complaining that the bbc did also permission to use his image. there have only been to pilot shows made at twelve minutes long at but given the reaction will they ever see the light of day. we found this to come during taking part in that it's going to be very upsetting to see i'm intrigued you would like. to the call was love it okay.
