this is coming to life or most hello and welcome to the program. in australia the right wing freedom party house scooped up almost a quarter of the vote in sunday's general election and a riot swinging trend seen in many european countries. on a report from vienna. but it looks likely that the coalition of the social democrats and the people's party will continue to rule here in austria however the most interesting thing to come out of sunday's vote was the rise in popularity of the far right freedom party they come paying by saying that they wanted to see an end to bailouts of failing economies in europe using austrian taxpayers' money also they wanted to see a restructuring or even a and a but getting rid of the the single currency all of those things appealing to

the the austrian votes are right now but it's just worn the old the right wing parties across europe that have been gaining popularity now across the european union we've seen in norway a right wing government there coming to power based on immigration promises promises to cap immigration in the country also in sweden the rise in the right wing we saw just earlier this year riots in the spirit of stockholm they were based on the on the immigration mostly we've seen politicians there campaigning hard on all the anti immigration stand point also in hungary we've seen the the rise of right wing parties what we are seeing is an increase in the right wing parties in countries in europe becoming the legitimate third party pushing the the established political status quo all of these though showing that across europe as

the eurozone crisis doesn't seem to be going away anywhere traditionally the working classes who perhaps would have voted to the left or the center left and now turning towards the right. and as peace have reports the far right has been gaining ground in the e.u. and on agr are here you can see how the vote share for such parties has changed since previous elections in european countries and let's now take a look at some of them in more detail now and right wing populist have just secured a place in no ways of earning count. winning seventeen percent of the vote the progress party is making coalition talks difficult as associated with the mass murder under as brave it was a vocal supporter of this group hungary's chill the party or the movement for a better hungry is known for its extreme nationalist views and labels itself as a radical right away also greece's golden dawn often referred to in the media as new knowledge sees the country's third largest political group and senior figures in the party have recently been arrested following the killing of

a left wing activist who was stabbed to death by an alleged golden dawn member and in finland true finns saw their popularity rise from four to almost twenty percent before the twenty eleven election which made it the largest opposition party in parliament support for the group continued to grow after the vote as well and bob rock home from the austrian economics center believes the anti euro sentiment has much to do with the popularity of the far right. well they don't trust the politicians in brussels anymore they don't trust. decision makers what they do there they don't believe they find the right solutions when after all it's just. a redistribution under supranational level it's austrian tax euros that go to other countries and are just washed down the drain i think it just said a couple of politicians thinking and overlook their past solutions that after all

it has only prolong the problems this is definitely what the people see and it has not come to any solutions as a matter of fact that's grew bigger and bigger and higher so the next generations will suffer and this is what those twenty five percent obviously have in mind. dozens of students have been shown by islamist militants in nigeria who stormed a dome in tree early on sunday morning and started killing people that the gunman believed to be from the terrorist sect boko haram that recently stepped up its attacks on civilians and this latest incident showing the scale of terror engulfing africa come shortly after the deadly shopping mall attack in kenya and let's not discuss this further with. an african conflicts analyst who's worked with the un across the continent mr rove welcome to r.t. it's good to see to see you he said africa has long been a very volatile region of course but in recent years where seeing as such in terror why do you think a stand. well it's i think we haven't terkel the central or the terrorism central

which is derived from saudi arabia the ideology of the logistics are all coming out of saudi arabia and alas the world wakes up to the fact that we have to go in turkle this at the root of the problem then we'll see an increase of attacks across africa like we've seen recently in kenya and now in nigeria right but is there a connection between different radical sounds like al shabaab in kenya and. in nigeria or are they completely autonomy. well the autonomous to a certain extent but the central ideology that's being supplied today derives alter of saudi arabia like a mention because the they all seem to have the same or disappear on the where they go for maximum effect by killing as many people as possible so yes they are different groups they probably don't cooperate within africa but they are being

supplied logistically in the terms of training and fighting known spied by a central group in saudi arabia including members of the monarchy i might add yes they're always seeing now in these most recent attacks both in kenya as well as in nigeria we see that terrorists are targeting certainly civilians not institutions non-government snopt police want to terrorists are trying to achieve what are they trying to achieve by doing that. well firstly they're trying to achieve obviously maximum publicity for their work but also i think it's wrong to call them jihad this in the strict islamic sense they're not jihad this they are they are terrorist criminals and unless we start calling them criminals and terrorists of course who was sort of giving them a higher status which they're enjoy so they go for these are high value or civilian targets in large numbers because it gives

a maximum publicity but we all saw many analysts or activists call them our jihad this or or some other. monikers which which don't fit the crime they are criminal terrorists and that's what we should call them right remember that islamists advances in mali were countered by a foreign intervention by foreign how do you think that might be necessary here as well in different in other african nations where terrorists are especially accept now. locally you need to tackle them yes set us quite correct the governments have a responsibility to protect their citizens but we must understand that unless terrorism central is tackled again i repeat unless we tackle this from the ideological central base in saudi arabia then we will continue to have these problems around the world so we must go and tackle it at the root of the problem

these are merely franchises in asia so we look we are actually putting out small fires rather than look at the root of the problem and we must must go and root and destroy it at its root not have a you don't think that foreign help is needed here only local. no i believe the national governments are adequately equipped to deal with the problems because they they have military forces and if we bring in foreign help then we're saying effectively that they are not capable of handling their own security which is a wrong signal to put up because the citizens of the countries are starting to get angry especially we see the in kenya now citizens are asking why do they need foreign help when the government forces the army and the police forces are adequately equipped. security issues within their own borders otherwise they're bringing in foreign interference which which looks imperialistic and we have to be

very careful of invoking girl foreign assistance in all these issues right mind raouf an african conflict analyst live from man from the u.k. and mr rove thank you very much indeed for sharing your views with us thank you. these are a prime minister's on a mission to thwart iran's worsened efforts to unfreeze its relations with the west when a minute on yahoo claims tehran's sweet talk is just a trick to buy the country's nuclear program more time and his vowing to prove it in the white house and at the u.n. general assembly now his middle east correspondent policy it looks now at what to expect from the israeli leaders counter-offensive. these really prime minister benjamin netanyahu is in the united states where he will be meeting with the american president barack obama and also addressing the united nations general assembly the focus of that address and his meetings will be on iran and here the israeli prime minister's message is quite simple don't trust the rain ians

netanyahu has ordered his government members not to give comments regarding the recent phone call between the radian and american presidents in fact he's ordered them not to talk at all regarding the whole issue of iran and this is presumably to avoid any kind of embarrassment while natanya who is in the united states and also for israel to seemingly present a united front prior to leaving israel for new york netanyahu said that he was going to use this opportunity at the united nations to show the truth about to rant particularly now while all these plays in trees are being said last week when the iranian president rouhani addressed the united nations general assembly netanyahu criticized that address severely saying that was full of hypocrisy and cynicism at the time he ordered the israeli delegation to boycott the station and warned the international community not to be fooled by signs of so-called moderation by the

way in government we will not be fooled by half measures that merely provide a smokescreen for iran's continual pursuit of nuclear weapons. and the world should not be full. understanding the israeli internal security vission bit announced that it had wasted a belgian citizen with iranian our region for allegedly spying against israel now the incident happened already three weeks ago but the information has only now been released while netanyahu is in the united states and of course questions are being asked about its timing many are suggesting that it is to store up ammunition for netanyahu his position a position that he's going to be putting across in the united states it also kinds at a time when the first time in decades we see a warming in the relationship between the united states and iran now rouhani in his address last week also called for a nuclear free middle east it's highly unlikely that the israelis will ever agree to this israel has never admitted having nuclear weapons but at the same time it

has never denied that it does policy r.t. tel aviv. and a notable israeli journalist gave a levy told r.t. it will not be an easy task for netanyahu to persuade the u.s. leader that iran cannot be trusted or what. practically they get these already long time ago because president obama and prime minister. see hardly eyes to eye in the two main topics the palestinian question be the day romney and question in ateneo size any seeing which is less than bomb being iran is not the right solution he would come up with a lot of the intelligence material trying to prove that there is no change on the ground in iraq he would try to spoil the party. but in any case i think that we have now to be diplomacy a chance and give

a whole new challenge no doubt the reason basic fundamental change in iran and these soon can only benefit out the feet. step back in time on our website dot com to see how a year ago and it's on yahoo true the role of iran with his explosive address to the un trial assembly. comey out speaking against the government is considered terrorism in bahrain after the break we'll look at why the country's authorities believe it's extremism to form a profile of physician groups and should be punished with decades in prison. plus were put on the small communities forming in rural areas with people growing the own food and living off the land that much more after the break.

kidnapped by a man if you. have some technical problems right now we just have to say goodbye to say abusive. and apologize for. problems communication problems right now let's move on now and voters have rejected of stars here in local elections in portugal handing defeat to the policies of the coalition government deep spending cuts have proven immensely unpopular in the country which is likely to see a third consecutive year of recession and hit by tax hikes and job cuts people are finding unexpected ways to survive the economic storm sour fast reports.

alan taiji a sponsor of the beautiful parts of portugal and one of the country's poorest regions the rural communities here are used to people moving out economic flights having been a reality here for many generations but since the crisis hit villages like campbell reyes have seen people needing in here a small communes formed. anna and her two children have been here for a year in her story is one that will be familiar with many families not just in portugal but all across europe lost. the money that. it's nothing to. unable to pay the mortgage on her house and a sought help from a charity called god they put her in touch with this small commune he found her free accommodation in return for working on the house. turning the

table trying another way around seven families the parts of this group and all members of the commune chip in. and brick by brick and her family of building a new life here we're told the community here is based on a mix of free enterprise solar darity communal sharing and co-operative trade of a move from the city to here a couple years ago or three ago so we are still like trying to find our place here we have well we have this little jobs of course it's very. it's not something that you have a strong link to a source of income you are like. throwing you trying to. make we get by growing your own fit in living off the land might seem but that's

the thing about this situation is that many of the people who have come here like our ordinary people he stated the extraordinary difficulties the euro quite is the presented them with so alternative ways of getting by and much like the euro crisis itself but showing signs of slow recovery the big question is is this sustainable it's clear this is no easy existence money's tight and children have to travel thirty kilometers each day to get to school was the nearest hospital one hundred kilometers away remote regions like this have been hard hit by cuts to public services. the likeliest. surviving not leaving here and when i ask if she misses her old life and her job as a lighting technician in the theater yes because when i have the opportunity to

make something near to my. aerial work. i feel that i can do with. well and i feel room realisation. and to be able to treat you for me and. the sinks. works like this that the people who. don't have the opportunity to do the sings the name of their life more. so if r.t. portugal's island takes you region. now turn to some other global news and brave this hour thousands and park the sun gather what is for the dozens killed in a devastating blast in the city have to show what the mourners were joined by the relatives of a family who lost sixteen of its members in that time they died when a car bomb went off near a police station in a market area destroying nearby shops and buildings it's been only

a week since assigned bombers killed eighty people outside a christian church and the same says. it will come. through. around showed areas in iraq's capital killing at least forty and wounding more than a hundred police say the blast on it at a crowded market and calm parks no one's claimed responsibility so far but it's been conducted by sunni insurgents on a regular basis a sectarian one as spirals the incident follows yesterday's assaults on a shia mosque in baghdad and the town of the kurdistan region that left dozens dead . and take a look at this dramatic footage from london showing people from a tour was bowed jumping into the river fans after the vessel called five or twenty eight passengers and two crew members had to be rescued by passing ships no one was seriously injured but several people had to be treated in the hospital due to suspected smoke inhalation. cars are becoming increasingly

a luxury for europeans growing fuel ply prices along with a genuine recession are forcing more and more to say farewell to their to their four world friends but with public transport being expensive and crowded people are choosing pedal power with laura smith reports. to some it's a trend to others it's a hopi and to many more it's just a way of getting around with public transport at breaking point roads clogged and finances tight london's commuters are increasingly ditching food wheels but to keep fighting the system really on here you know just the cars on the road. and you just . can guarantee that i'm always there on time. just outside where you stand so i

paid say yes it was you you in chocolate doesn't even own a car and he's found a way of capitalizing on london his passion for cycling he's open to cuff a way you can have your bike repair it while you eat it's just not seen the last of the last ten years. and yeah we're prepared if it's in from we get older we get larger crowds we get people who saw cool just because i commute might be people rice. and it's not just the u.k. that's getting on its bike in recession hit spain bikes and now out selling cars for the first time joining fellow pigs countries portugal and greece where hard up europeans a buying almost twice as many bikes as cause it's a similar picture in at least twenty countries all over the continent in the u.k.

the trends one of the most pronounced in two thousand and eleven people bought nearly one point three million more new bikes the new cars it's a drive the government actively supports creating these cycling super highways in some of london's busiest roads and even offering a forty five cent tax break i'm buying a new bicycle. london's mayor has also appointed a dedicated cycling commissioner andrew gilligan has a budget of nearly a billion pounds over ten years and sees a correlation between recession and writing we've seen a big rise in cycling since the size of the recession. to be fair though it started before that there but it's one of the it's one of many factors it's definitely propelling sucking up which is that we have a massive increase in number of people cycling go up by almost tripled on the main roads doubled of the whole since two thousand and two and of course at the traffic

in central london in the morning rush hour it's now boys we just have to cater for the number of people to the millions all over europe struggling to come by rising fuel prices and increasingly pricey and over crowded public transport the pedal power norris my faulty. and our website and the parcel the olympic flame that says thousands make their way by car plane and even still a to bring the torch to sochi at home got photos shown by a lighting ceremony and a mob chill whereabouts of the iconic symbol of the games. find out about being new year's to units in the british army that started by the i.c.c. crowd under the design to defend the country from the threat of cyber warfare all they sound much more. and more in the world's top stories around

home for now and in the meantime it's cross-talk with people out coming out after the break. recently the ministry of internal affairs of russia declared that they're going to dress to increase operations in and around the moscow subway system with a major emphasis on illegal immigration there is an odd paradox when people talk about dealing with illegal immigration in terms of what the police should do people want the police to deal with it but any means of trying to actually do anything or generally taboo any form of asking people to see ideas viewed as an invasion of privacy or racial profiling well i don't know how exactly anyone can prove they are or aren't

a citizen without id and if you're looking for people who are foreign and thus different then how can you go about looking for illegals without looking for people who are different profiling if you were looking for a criminal of slavic origin in uganda when the police be wrong to stop me due to standing out from the crowd i don't think so that's not racial profiling it is just common sense obviously it is best to fight the causes of illegal immigration rather than asking for id in moscow subways but they have to do something so i guess id checks are here to stay but there's a big difference between looking at someone's passport and doing stop and frisk or involuntary blood and urine tests that is what immigration control goes over the line but that's just my opinion. choose your language. make it with the infidels. choose the.
