we heard from some of the members of the party that they are hoping for thirty percent but still very significant and very important worst results in years for social democrats i ended spend almost fourteen days traveling across sweden this is how many explain their success the success of sweden democrats they have made violent crime the main focus and it has been as you remember a terrible interior for sweden with cars burning throughout the country with gangs and the like on the rise so they've talked a lot about it during the campaign and they blamed immigrants for all the problems so whether this rai tween party are wrong or right they managed to convince many people that the security situation in the country's critical immigrants are to blame and we know the answer here is the solution let's get rid of immigrants let's close the borders and people in this chaotic situation i mean it wasn't easy

to make this choice because the situation changed throughout like three last years for people and many told me that it's not easy to make a choice but i mean they saw the problems and they sort of hardy offering a solution they were like yeah maybe we better vote for someone who knows what to do this situation although not many agree with that we talked to senior researcher with the government's crime prevention council holmberg and told us she believes that the picture sweden democrats presented was not particularly accurate and she told us there was. just partially true but a lot of that can pay from sweden democrats was a political agenda and manipulation let's take a listen from both of them. over representation by immigrants disappear if you. and the fact that they

are socially deprived we have reports in from one thousand nine hundred two thousand and five that established people from middle east africa are grossly over epicenter when it comes to violent crimes for instance yes those gang shootings it's a lot of second generation young men but if you see fair and assaults and these kinds of crimes we don't see an increase just recently an investigative program on national television also confirmed immigrants and rapes for instance it might be easier to report. perpetrator who is an immigrant or in other way is socially deprived to you can try this all this integration stuff that's been that's been trying for thirty forty years and is totally useless to the real. thing to solve the problem is to make the move

so sweden democrats have been talking about. that became a problem for sweden actually population is a little bit more than ten million and one point eight million of them are. foreign origins and sweden has been embraced same immigrants for four decades it's not the problem of yesterday. but it just is just one piece of the parcel and the only talked about this puzzle but anyway i felt this discontent while traveling across sweden discontent from both sides from locals say sweden is not swedish anymore whatever they meant and from immigrants from people with foreign origins second the third generation saying that sweden is not friendly it's not welcoming any more and this discontent existed let's take

a look at another piece from helsingborg. sweden is not swedish anymore i mean this is totally a change here used to be a small little shop where you could buy hotdogs now it's sort of you never find any swedish dogs anymore but then it's mascara. it's just here. all the signs are in around the world. you're all more or it's all no no no you're wrong. even if we do expect actually to say look. i'm very sad that sweden is not a swedish country anymore it makes me want to cry i don't recognize my own if you like to include it in the nation but we don't talk about. emotions

aside we've heard from people in sweden that there are real problems in indifference fear is like for example trains are not coming on time buses. i mean out of services to health care system is not working properly we've heard that from doctors for example so there are many problems the system is somehow like fifteen these days but there is new like simple and easy one day fast solution like this for example this is what communist party member told us in sweden. people have a sensation of that this is sorry it is slowly deteriorating everything is going the wrong way so i think that is the basis of the content. say three decades there's been a. one way pall of the ticks that is going in an extreme and accelerated way towards. a unique form of new

liberalism through our capitalism that is unique for sweden. so breakthrough results for sweden democrats however the way the political system is the works is through proposal representation and puts multiple parties in government coalition and alliances and we've heard from many parties already that they do not want to work operate negotiate in you know with democrats so currently they stand alongside the democrats which makes it highly unlikely that they will make it to the government after these elections but instead remained in the opposition so ok good results but how exactly they will influence the politics we have to wait and see you know you still food for thought even if those heritage parties end up forming a coalition again after all that time in government there are still people who feel they fold in through the cracks like in many places in europe all right thanks for

that assessment sweden. now elsewhere in europe and the migrant rallies have been held in a village near cologne in the west of germany after a twenty two year old local man died on sunday reportedly following a fight with afghan migrants it's said that the victim fell over during the confrontation and sustained a head injury which would have died even due to that wound or of a heart attack shortly after the fight the incident brought crowds to the street to the village two suspects are being detained in connection with the death. two afghans were provisionally detained on suspicion of homicide the reasons for and concrete circumstances of the incident or not yet known as of course comes on the heels of similar protests in the german city of violent scenes played out there throughout last week migrant demonstrators clashed with rival protesters and police .

in iraq eisel terrorists have launched a spate of kidnappings and attacks against security forces and civilians despite losing territory the militants are still active in many parts of the country switching to guerrilla warfare and we heard from some of the relatives of those who

lost their lives in the ongoing violence. oh. i would like to declare the towel on forces of the last book it's of i still controlled areas and have now full control of the iraqi syrian border by god's help we have prevailed. i am proud to report that the coalition to defeat isis has liberated very close to one hundred percent of the territory just recently held by these killers in iraq we've done a great job with isis we have just absolutely decimated isis we've essentially. just absolutely obliterated isis in iraq. and you know happened at

a checkpoint six to seven militants ordered the man to get out of the car the terrorists didn't ask for identity cards or anything they opened fire on them straight away and my son and husband were lying on the ground before i knew it the murderous told us they were from the islamic state in iraq. as the father god and my brother was killed after he was kidnapped at a fake checkpoint run by i saw terrorists.

minister decided that i had the three. this failed to warn us that the road was dangerous there was a nice old checkpoint there we were completely unaware and to keep a tool after the terrorists killed my son husband it took the security forces for hours to get to the site and even after they did they didn't venture close to the car as they feared it was booby trapped so. terrorists demanded the release of some sunni women held in iraqi custody in exchange for my brother and others but the authorities abdicated all responsibility for the negotiations and i found myself having to do the talks on my own current iraqi leaders are failures they keep making statements and giving conferences but they are not doing anything on the ground the suffering of a large number of innocent civilians washington says it's got its own way to deal with terrorism in syria they say they will be better and more focused but details haven't been very forthcoming at any rate moscow is out of the picture when it

comes to syria and that's despite russia recently meeting with other players to the conflict turkey and iran they came up with a joint statement that put forward a political solution to the conflict leaders from those countries agreed the only path forward is for unconditional terrorists surrender turkey though is against any operation in the lip calling for a cease fire and. if we declare a cease fire this will be a victory for the summit and the most important step in the process will give peace of mind to civilians russian president vladimir putin said cease fire are not the terrorists there are predictable and turkey well they've reportedly already advanced towards adlib there are many people who want to syria the reality is that actually it's only two factions there's a faction that is against genuinely against terrorism in the main country of syria but you've got russia and iran giving it a lot of support and on the other side you've got everyone. else who is done

singing for reasons best known to them to this earth each human into this you know washington actually the solution for syria is very simple let the terrorists speak phoenix let them go and then you have to stand as normal democratic elections. the us government's backing down on charges against an alleged russian honeypots the details on that when we come back. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. or some want to be rich. to be close this is what the three of them can't be good. i'm interested always in

the why is it. seems wrong. just don't call. me. to say proud just because that's ok and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. hello again russia is launching its largest military exercises since one thousand

nine hundred one china and mongolia are taking part as well but as more of reports some see the drills as a rehearsal for a global war. there's never been the like a bit in modern russia that is huge to hundreds of thousands of thousands of at the top of the multiple countries. all stock which means in russia will test hundreds of divisions regiments the system wide stretch that's basically the clear rules weaknesses cracks will lead to this new russian military elf i doubt.

you how great how day russia do this it must be preparing for a new rule. when they need to war to invade nato in a new world will usually be a moment which is notably absent when others carry out military exercises and despite me to observers being invited to attend maneuvers are not directed against other countries not consistent with the military doctrine which is defensive hysterics aside this promises to be a spectacle to remember and will be there in brussels with the latest greatest from boston two thousand and eighteen. u.s.

prosecutors have admitted to falsely accusing an alleged russian spy of offering sex in exchange for employment retainer is currently in custody awaiting trial over the claims. and of course filing the prosecutors said the accusations were based on text messages and other information they'd obtained but conceded that they wrongly mis and wrongly interpreted the conversations they maintain they need to keep her in custody though over questions about her relationship with an individual identified as a u.s. person one who's allegedly conservative political operative paul erickson in july maria bettina was arrested on charges of acting as a foreign agent without registering with the u.s. government russia though says her arrest is politically motivated.

legal. human rights lawyer done kovalchuk says between his case was used to undermine the recent summit between presidents trump and putin. i think in order to bootstrap a pretty weak claim against they originally had the salacious kline's of

her offering sex for employment which frankly would rise to the level what the case anyway. but frankly in order to destroy her reputation which they probably have an actively done at this point and outs of atlantic the case will be dismissed and there's nothing here i think this was a political gambit frankly to deal with the bigger geo political issues to try to ruin you know the outcome of the summit between trump and putin she's being used as a political pawn by the united states and the skating this she's charges will be dropped but in the meantime life will be destroyed right that's the news so far there south acts for watching i'll be back to you again in about thirty five minutes after sophie shevardnadze goes head to head with former italian pm enrico letta.
