2900. voters turn out in 20 years anti-establishment parties looks set to post big gains across the continent from the u.k. to italy france and germany. in the u.k. the newly formed party is expected to win big leaving the conservatives with just some 7 percent of the votes. the big vote comes right on the heels of tearful announcement that she will. party leader mark in the race for britain's next prime minister. i do so with no ill will

but with. the country. and in other news this week. charges of espionage by u.s. prosecutors for publishing classified military documents and diplomatic cables back in 2010. are broadcasting live direct our studios moscow this is our international. polls have closed in the huge wide vote to elect the next european parliament there has been plenty of attention focused on this election in fact turnout has been the highest seen in 2 decades that is due to the perceived threat posed to the traditional parties by anti-establishment movements.

well this parliamentary election seems to have caught the public's attention i've just seen it flush on the official you parliamentary feet they're saying the official turnout as it stands at the moment is 50.5 percent if it stays that way or goes up at all it will be the largest turnout since 1904 so the big this certainly grabbed the attention of people this time around what we have seen is wins for anti establishment parties in. the anti establishment parties on the right we've seen them win hungary where viktor orban spot is doing very well it's really where. these parties seem to have picked up quite a few votes as well in poland in greece as well you know the greece thank you so much for electricity prices so it's

a party that he's actually called election snap elections in greece following what's been a pretty much a drubbing for him and his party in the european elections in spain vox will enter the european parliament for the 1st time with 3 seats as well one of those. right wing figures though who didn't have such a good night get villagers in the netherlands it seems his party had 4 seats they will have no seats in the upcoming parliament while in france there's also been a jubilant marine le pen speaking to the media she says that the fact that her party national rally upset to be the biggest winners in france means that the money will mark on the french president should dissolve parliament hold elections for that and she's also said that the good showing by her party shows that she set up to mount a big challenge for the french presidency in 2022. or certainly the president has

no other choice but to dissolve the national assembly and allow for a more democratic voting system in order to better represent this country's majority political opinion the feeding of traditional parties and the polarization between the national rally party and the renaissance party confirms that the political scene is now split between nationalists and globalists and that's what dominates our political life. well in austria it's been well a rough 2 weeks for the standalone written government there and the corruption scandal has cost cost them a vice chancellor and all of the junior coalition partners in the cabinet quit as well however the chancellor has done really well in these elections his party's done really well in fact it certainly seems to cordon off guard a little bit he moves guernsey early release and you're free i'm usually not at a loss for words but i'm almost speechless we expected a lot we were optimistic but this is a fantastic result this is never happened before we achieved the best result of all

time with the biggest distance from 2nd place of all time it is simply unbelievable a cheery sebastien could there bear in mind at lunchtime on monday he will be facing a vote of no confidence in the in the austrian parliament in vienna elsewhere here in germany it was a night of seems to be a night of big losses for angela merkel c.d.u. c.s.u. union. going to still be the largest take the largest share of the vote here in germany but they lost a lot of seats we have seen though big wins for the green party now they campaigned very hard on as you would imagine with the green party environmental issues but also. saying they wanted to see reform within the e.u. they've been really one of the big protest votes also it's worth bearing in mind the stats that come out from these things 48 percent of germans who were polled said that the environment was

a major factor for them voting in these elections seems a lot of people have gone to the greens the conservative opposition in germany they fare well they feel better than they get on their own call to do better than they did in 2014 back to take around 10 percent of the vote however that is less than they took in the general election back in 2017 earlier i spoke to some of the members and they told me that they hope to be able to try. and shake things up in the upcoming european parliament the good thing out of this evening is that we will end up in a very strong group and it will send out this signal or the the wind of change is coming to the year for you and we're very happy that we got this resolved this evening and i think it's a good signal for europe because another conservative party is gaining additional votes and what we are going to do is we are trying to reform the european union together with the other conservative parties we care or we are

problems day care on climate change and 100 years and we have our roots and a rule that ordinary people and they have the mass media and. big corporate because permissions that's simply the frontline but it's not that that we are the nasty nationalists and they are the. globalists they are globalists but we are the commonsense party. so you to get a picture of how it looks across europe and how they the next european parliament will shape up it's very likely almost certain that the european people's party the center right group will take the most seats but it's been a good night for greens across europe a good night for liberals across europe as well and to good night for some of the anti establishment policies across europe as people have well certainly it seems shifted away from voting for one of the 2 big pall of entry groups in the european parliament and it seems we may see

a few new faces in the european parliament after they say this election in britain . party is on course for victory in the european parliament elections that is according to the 1st official u.k. results of the bags of party is in the lead with 31.6 percent with more than 2 thirds of the ballots counted they have left the greens and labor in the dust each have only half as much support the liberal democrats meanwhile also are showing good results at 20.3 percent and may's conservatives are among those. who are on the sidelines earlier reacted to these results. so. they started to read it well but it. looks like the thing with. the belief that. it's not really surprising when we look at the bigger picture there is

a chance. that people's parties don't represent a more different spirit and society that this is a channel try and germany was kind of an exception in the possum now we see similar irrelevant in the past you have sensors on the china road narrative but european integration as such is good because it brings peace stability prosperity and we only disagree on certain ideological differences about is it green and. is it fair enough is it parole business and now we have a large number of members of parliament who believe that the e.u. is not the solution but it is the problem. coming along with the breaks apart of success theresa may who has failed to see breakthrough will step down as u.k. prime minister in an emotional speech outside number 10 may expressed regret for failing to deliver despite her best efforts she will resign as party leader on june

7th throwing open the race for successor. it's now clear to me that is it it is in the best interests of the country for a new prime minister to lead that effort i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. i wanted. to be chosen by searching our sea to become. a strong new positive vision for the future of our country let's it means brics it will be no 2nd referendum no tension in the back we can risk no breaks it is all we can shoot.

for or we can choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated it is now clear to me that is it it is in the best interests of the country for a new prime minister to lead that effort true some may made a brags that cornerstone of her premiership but delivering on the results of the referendum proved an impossible task her deal was room roundly rejected in huge defeat 3 times with m.p.'s on both sides of the house becoming increasingly i rent mark on and a director of britain's crisis research institute oxford believes the country faces uncertainty and chaos. it's going to be a difficult task because the house of commons is still strongly against leaving the e.u. except on terms which involve remaining in a customs union almost certainly so that there's going to be a disconnect between the tory party members and supporters and presumably the people who defected to the briggs's party who are mainly conservatives who want a serious break with your up and the members of parliament and so unless you change

the arithmetic in the house of commons whoever succeeds mrs may if they want to leave the e.u. was going to face huge problems in the same sort can they force a new general election what will be the result of that we don't know but there's going to be a great deal of uncertainty and as i say there's this looming deadline of the 31st of all which is the end of the extension of britain's membership and the british politicians seem to forgotten that in the modern world divorce can be initiated from both sides the remaining members of the european union may decide we find you too much trouble we want you to leave now i'm sort of that could be a chaotic disorder briggs it where briggs it goes next is hard to tell what becomes of the official conservative stance depends on who succeeds may labor the main opposition party accepts the referendum result it wants a deal but not may's ukip and the bags of party are both advocating a so-called hard drugs it were britain also quit the e.u. single market and the liberal democrats the green party and change u.k.

all want to reverse bragg's it and a 2nd referendum. all right a tele an interior minister matteo salvini party has maintained its lead position in the e.u. vote salvini says he intends to create a euro skeptic anti-establishment coalition within the bloc but to have salvini is said to make his northern league party it is biggest political force after the polls closed he thanked all of those who supported his party adding that a new europe is coming political experts believe salvini will find many allies in the new parliament. in both of the audit you did check today's vote shows that the rules of europe are changing it's not just due to the choice of the italians but also of the french the germans the british the hun carians the poles the thins the swedes the danes a new europe is born structure of the european union is a failure many countries now have realized that is not a solution it's actually

a problem so every country have their own interests and i'm not surprised that if a marine le pen will work with the leader a lot of people you know a thing about the niger throughout for the us for the grace of movement if it works and if it's in to the interest of countries then they will definitely work together and salvini is very close to marine le pen as well so i don't see anything that will go against that. the former president of the government of qatar. who is currently living in exile in belgium has won a seat in the european parliament however it is doubtful put mons will be able to take up his new role without returning to madrid and if he does return to spain to carry out for maladies to take his seat he could be arrested over his role in catalonia as 2017 independence bid which the government considers illegal in that same year he fled from spain to avoid prosecution which. would give leaks founder julian assange is being threatened with 175 years in prison by u.s.

prosecutors that story coming up in just a minute washington weekly i want to international. historically 2 of his opponents used to claim that there are 3 issues. too big and too easy to muslim the fact as we are too poor is no longer correct because our per capita purchase very is higher than some of the current do you member countries. you know world of big part of the new lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each

other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. and welcome back to the weekly i hear on r t international now we give a co-founder traces up to 175 years in prison for publishing classified files at u.s. prosecutors in this week's lapse 17 new charges against him all of which fall under the espionage act they come on top of a charge of conspiring to hack a u.s. government computer which forms the basis of an extradition request for

a song she was currently serving time in the u.k. marti's down a quarter comments and now on what it all means for the whistleblower. the stakes are now much higher for imprisoned wiki leaks founder julian assange on 17 new charges by a notoriously anti whistleblower court and potentially up to 175 years in prison this new batch of accusations falls under the espionage act used to convict spies and detractors during the 1st world war the indictments legal ease of taining and disclosure of sensitive government information which often just means exposing government wrongdoings is lighting a fire under stablish when american journalists since after all they're doing it to this is to put it bluntly wrong unconstitutional and downright tyrannical this is a pretty aggressive new move by the justice department a big deal here for a 1st amendment advocates the government is now trying to assert this brand new

right to criminally prosecute people for publishing secret stuff and newspapers and magazines and investigative journalists and all sorts of different entities publish secret stuff all the time that is the bread and butter of what we do with the new indictment of us on the government is advancing a legal argument that places such an important work in jeopardy the administration has gone from denigrating journalists as enemies of the people to now criminalizing common practices in journalism notice anything not a lot about songes work or fate but quite a bit about there's this is the hypocrisy of the mainstream media here in the united states just a couple of weeks ago the washington post editorial board ran an editorial saying that julian was not a journalist well guess what the washington post one pulitzer prizes you'll using the information that julian and weepy leaks published so you would think that in a normal world the washington post the new york times the wall street journal the guardian and every other major news outlet we'd be lining up 100 julian to support

him they're not the thing is though some might argue the war on freedom of speech began long ago back in 2012. songe fled to the ecuadorian embassy in london for political asylum over fears of extradition to the u.s. after exposing potentially incriminating acts by the u.s. military for 7 years he was interned there and conditions the u.n. said amounted to arbitrary detention at times he was denied access to the internet stifling his journalistic work and all the while an allegation of rape in sweden has hung over his head his lawyers claim the alleged victim said it was actually the police who sought charges not her the establishment media has had plenty of things to say back then and not much had to do with the 1st amendment the free press is not responsible for the origins of any material that gets to us. unless of course we are responsible for it because we had something to do with how it was

a leak illegally obtained if someone's life was potentially a risk responsible media you would not publish yes these are conversations hard conversations that are had in newsrooms around the country and the world at the end of the day what would you say to those people who claim that look he's his activities far more damage than good you are not allowed to help instruct you are not allowed to try to help somebody defeat security system they prefer to accuse the sonnes of working with the russians and of course to claim at the end he neglected his personal hygiene and like playing with his fecal matter for years they've been ignoring restrictions on the songes freedom of speech and smearing him for the sake of the narrative but the monster they created has now turned against them when the mainstream media is absolutely hypocritical you know they spent these last several years criticizing critiquing damning. stones for

constantly continuously all of a sudden now they've woken up and pretended to be so upset about the 17 charges of espionage they do feel threatened now it has nothing to do with freedom of press freedom of speech they feel threatened because they do the same thing to this song which is done every day of the week it's called national security reporting and so now all of a sudden it's getting closer to home and there pretend to be more concerned about it well to remind you here are some of the biggest revelations made by a songe over the years back in 2010 thousands of documents and classified video related to the wars in iraq and afghanistan were made public that leaked detailed among other things the indiscriminate shooting of civilians in iraq a year later the so-called get mo files that revealed routine torture at the guantanamo bay camp and the deaths of inmates through harsh treatment and in 2016 wiki leaks revealed it pro clinton media bias during 2016 presidential campaign. and of the plot to push bernie sanders out of the race. switching gears now

donald trump says he has no fears over the latest military tests by north korea that is despite his top foreign policy officials condemning pyongyang's actions. north korea fired off some small weapons which disturbs some of my people and others but not me i have confidence that chairman kim will keep his promise to me u.n. security council resolutions prohibit north korea from firing any bill istic missiles in terms of violating security council resolutions there is no doubt about that. tweet comes during his 4 day visit to japan which has become increasingly concerned about pyongyang's military activity in tokyo has been highly critical of the tests with the recent missile launches the landing in the sea of japan the country also insists north korea's actions violate un resolutions. north korea launched several short range missile tests earlier this month. himself had initially condemned

pyongyang's tests which broke a $500.00 day moratorium disarmament talks between the u.s. and north korea collapsed earlier this year after washington rejected a partial lifting of sanctions without full denuclearization former u.s. diplomat jim john trust believes trump is striking a balance between both the carrot and stick approaches. why is far as mr trump's public disagreeing with mr bolton their number of questions raised the most obvious one to anybody who supported drum since the election is why is bolton there in the 1st place mr bowles been quite clear that he wants regime change in north korea by military means of necessary whereas i believe president shrugs quite committed in his relationship with god chairman kim and to bring about a peaceful resolution on the korean peninsula and i think this is something that the his his underlings have been trying to stab a taj for quite some time they've managed to tank the hanoi summit and i think what

we see with some of the recent tests from north korea are showing a very impatience of that and that's one reason mr trump is saying i don't care so much about that because he still committed to the agreement most of the news conference coverage thank you about trump there's a bit japan has been about korea and i think there are other frankly bigger issues on the table does we know sometimes this trump says one thing and that says another thing he wants to look at the way that he can he can keep some pressure on the north koreans but also keep the door open to an agreement can realize he can't trust the people he has around. and that does it for me i'll be back with more of the weekly the top of the hour stay with us.
