parties in the greens rout europe's establishment in parliamentary elections the votes attracted the highest in 20 years. in the u.k. meantime the. party is expected to win big leaving the conservatives and labor it's happy. with british prime minister trees may stepping down after failing to get her through the contest of places already.

under 27 for me here in moscow for a good morning you're watching r t international with me kevin though in our top story staying with most votes counted in the fiercely contested european parliament elections populist parties along with the greens in the liberals are set for a big wins while projections show the established centrist bloc losing its grip on parliament perhaps another surprise of the night overall voter turnout was the highest in 20 years at over 50 percent. so that's going to cross. because in paris i correspond to a morning as you say big turnout take us through some of the surprises that came out of these elections as these votes are still being counted of course. for europe's waking up. of change where we saw all the established parties of the

center right and the center life left losing quite a lot of ground in that election and that of course could spell trouble for that either grand coalition that's been the cornerstone of the european parliament since its inception it means that they will now have to reach out to much smaller parties if they want to keep the steerage of the european parliament on course they was. anti establishment parties across the bloc with parties like the national rally here in france and a leak in italy actually topping the polls in their own countries well let's start now with that believe in italy. not only top the polls it looks like it's projected to gave around 28 seats in that this election a couple of seats from 2014 and salvini speaking to the press after those results

are coming in said this was essentially people in europe saying that they want to see something different other than merely. vote with your duty to 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 poles. the swedes the danes a new europe is born. well here in france we saw him being led pens national rally party topping the polls of course they also took the poll back in 2014 this time very slow each down on their turnout from the last election but still a very big result here in france particular as many people were seeing this is being a referendum on president mccall whose party came in 2nd place they would just pick to the post they are trying to brush this off as noticed by the losses they were

expecting but marking the pen is now calling for those anti establishment parties to form a grand bloc within the european parliament to be a stronger voice and she's calling for a new shake up of politics here in france. in the 1st war 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 to political opinion the feeding of traditional parties and the polarization between the national 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. there are also big wins for anti establishment ruling parties in countries such as poland and hungary while meanwhile the ruling governing party in austria also talked to the polls but with

more than 30 percent of the vote the chancellor besting said he was very pleased with that result particularly as it comes to the difficult time for his government you are supposed to be facing a new confidence vote later today i know of a scandal hit the party just a week ago but just by that scandal it seems people and also. still turned out to offer him their support. so i'm usually not to the last 4 words but i'm almost speechless we expected a lot we were optimistic but this is a fantastic results and this is never happened before we achieve the best results of all time with the biggest distance from 2nd place of all time it is simply a man believed to. be of a big surprise of the night was the green vote which is up significantly here in france and also in germany and the projection is that they will get around 70 seats

which is quite a surge compared to 2014 up around 20 seats on that but the reality is that make up now of the european parliament will be very different to that that we've known for not just the last 5 years but pretty much since its inception and what that's going to do is it's going to make it very difficult for the old guard to continue to keep watch and to push things down that agenda. to produce up to date appreciated what we've got more to discuss the election results in more detail we'll support all right brooke a professor of european studies at stanford university. it's not really surprising when we look at the bigger picture there is a channel of trend that people's parties don't represent and a more difference heated society this is a channel trend germany was kind of an exception in the posse had consensus on the

general narrative that european integration as such is good because it brings peace stability prosperity and we only disagree on certain ideological differences about is it green enough is it fair enough is it parole business and now we have a large number of members of the bottom and who believe that the e.u. is not the solution but it is the problem. here meantime in the u.k. with treason may stepping down on june the 7th sort of funding to get a plan through the contest replacer is already up and running. pays to nominate 2 or more candidates and write 10 verse for declaring that they're going to join the leadership race the tories believe a new leader will be in place by the end of june it means then that reason may will still be in office during both the contest for the donald trump's 1st official state visit to the u.k. next month the prime minister is supposed to stay in charge until a general election in 2022 unless one is called earlier which may look like it's

going to happen with many senior members of the conservative party than lined up to head the government we took a look at some of the front runners right now for number 10. they go on the road so to go. putin is going to do what he was lucky 36 years here so i think the comparison with 936 is is certainly right when you get your world. you know that. was the soviet union stop people leaving and the lesson from history is clear if you turn the e.u. club into

a prison the desire to get out of it won't diminish it will grow and we won't be the only prisoner that will want to escape. channels like our better it is russia today. the truth is relative. back through with the narrative. 9 out of 10 economists agree that if we leave the e.u. the treasury would actually be hit which would have a shock. which would mean less money coming into the fray for. those human rights and i believe. the ripping it's just a childish wish to. tens of thousands of disabled people the typical user is not so much languishing in. earth.

london direct who they believe is the best pretty surprising result. someone who has a clear plan. he wants to remain. and we. see these are people who are good. and he's going to be the next one. because i think that their own self guy. probably strange.

influences are usually well you might go for fashion style tips but now it seems the european commission to see the benefits of social media is trying to get a positive message across about the block to young people. now as for the moment i have the impression that i was in the novel 984 and people are convinced that this is good they're convinced that they are acting in the interest of the citizens of the european union. one of the main objectives of the event was to inject the european angle into young people's social platforms have the commission's representative stated that the idea of hosting the bloggers out the queues nothing new. it's something we do very often for journalists we thought it would be a good idea to do it for you you tubers as the media takes information and relays it to your audience to music speaking plain to us that misinformation is the use of

real facts to spread political ideas that contradict those of the european union they will said that all this is what can i say by russia to destabilise democratic regimes but fortunately european democracy is stronger than this but we were explain the basics we talked about generally accepted ideas about europe for example that the e.u. provides competition they said we're here to debunk these generally accepted notions in fact the message was not to tell us that the european union fails to create competition at a global level but to explain to us that this is a good thing and they believe that the reason why many people support ideas that contradict their policies and ideologies is external influence but they they are acting out of the best of intentions it's just shooting into us for a good morning as 12 minutes person out of a morning moscow time my name is kevin 0 in this is out international when we come back so therefore because newly inaugurated president has a new era question is can he deliver the lot of problems there after the break

we'll take a closer look at the issues he's facing. you know world big partisan movies a lot for us 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 back 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. nor make manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling

classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round. the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. also approaching the morial day the us army offered veterans the opportunity to share stories on how military service influenced their lives they got some unexpected results thousands responded on twitter when he spoke of an inability to live a normal life they spoke of depression and suicides among friends and fellow servicemen the u.s. army issued a formal response thanking everyone for their stories in highlighting the

importance of talking about psychological problems. the combat cocktail p.t.s.d. severe depression anxiety isolation suicide attempts never ending rage it cost me my relationship with my eldest son and my grandson it cost some of my men so much more how did serving impact me ask my family i spend sleepless nights to reckon with guilt because none of the horror and suffering i've seen even matters because we're all just grist for a pain will run by mad men because if i speak up and say endless war is wrong my battle buddies fighting with their own demons ostracized me my favorite don calls served in vietnam he was missing for 3 months i had never seen my grams cry before that the sorrow was more than 5 year old me could understand he came back and was never this my. elling playful fun happy go lucky uncle again a deep sorrow is in his eyes. to everyone who responded to this thread thank you

for sharing your story your stories are real they matter and they may help others in similar situations the army is committed to the health safety and well being of our soldiers suicides a major issue among veterans despite the reduction of the overall rate $6000.00 kill themselves every year mostly with firearms according to statistics it's young servicemen under 34 years old they were specially at risk the vice president for veterans for peace u.s. told us many soldiers are left to deal with the problems by themselves in america people like to put soldiers on pedestals and create heroes out of them soldiers are last in their bind where they are being simultaneously ciro worshipped and having to deal with really traumatic. experiences and lives is really negatively impacted my life and way is that i am just not even yet

comfortable speaking about it made it difficult for me to have a family i had p.t.s.d. and depression for a decade without even realizing it is not anything now and wish on anybody to join the military and yet i know some for some people it's their only way to. get out of where they're at it's no wonder side rates are so high amongst the veteran population because that kind of intense experience when people are still trying to figure out who they are as a person is just it could only. make life more difficult for the individual. the german government's been slammed by the country's jewish community after an official advised them not to wear the kipa skullcap in public in some areas because of a rise in hate crimes israel's president says the government's therefore admitted the jews are once again not safe from german soil i cannot advise

juice to wear the keeper at all times and places in germany unfortunately i have to see this the responsibility for the well be increased and rights of the jewish community in germany is in the hands of the german government and its institutions fears for the security of german jews are a capitulation before and the semitism and a recognition of the fact that jews in germany and no longer safe the statement by the anti semitism commissioner comes amid a rise in the number of crimes against the jewish community in 2018 almost 1800 offenses were committed 20 percent more than 2017 according to the government the proposal could help to deal with this negative tendency the chief rabbi of berlin meantime thinks other steps need to be taken. there's been a sharp rise in anti-semitism last year. this is obviously not a happy development at the same time as a great growth of jewish life and the cute is that every that the government has to

do all the candid every person knows that nobody is unaffected those that are against jews are against all people that respect the democratic society and way of life and sure that decline had only good intentions the same time i disagree with the message the message should not be that people have to either keep our keep our is a clear symbol of jewish identity and the message should be not to hide it in the country the government should do more and all they can people should not have to be in a situation where they feel that the hard to keep our. so i thought africa's new president cyril ramaphosa has officially been sworn in cheering as an organization proclaimed new era in his country's history one of the main problems the new president is going to face is the heritage of apartheid policy which ended in the country 25 years ago white people currently represent 9 percent of south africa's

population but they own more than 70 percent of private farmland if it's to reclaim much of the land the compensation have been launched by the government i can tell you we've got a special report we put together about how the dispute brought violence to south africa with some fearing that now that a civil war is inevitable. i feel that my life and the life of my family members and the future of my children under 3. and no one has a new talk just lose some damn to have i carry a weapon for 20 years already because we are murdered brutally on the farms the problem that we face as a people. in south africa and also within the african continent. is the education of our country and the continent by a white minority it is just. because your

skin is white there's definitely a white genocide. to. the. politics of the country at this stage want to explore our land without compensation apathy bridgie way youngest in this country continue to take the lead that people if we had to live by rita are so 2 advocate for a free and just society that spends people we must struggle for the return of the law and let people suffer in this country about half of the population lives in poverty in this country the old propaganda is that if ever you were. you were a feat but we speak you of the age of conquest we speak of a dog that you are and why people i'm prepared to pay my grandfather was murdered on our family falls a brother he was killed in a uniform attack we are paranoid you can see their eyes in the white or so find

out just because to educate and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. this footage is unique because the zoe tribal lands are normally off limits to the public eric's allowed in because he's listened to his personal doctor. people here know him simply as dr eric he's rich famous some always on the move saving yachts and flying aircraft that. he's considered one of the best neurosurgeons in brazil. with all

that's happening amazon. are you so system going out of the busy you and nothing's going to do the population much because it's going to people from amazon . after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the book different clubs on one hand it is logical to signal from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw one on t.v. . i'm going to talk about football not the or else you think i was going to go.

by the way ways of that slide here. dom afshin rattansi we're going underground on the 93rd birthday of the so-called butcher of cambodia alleged war criminal henry kissinger recently praised by britain's foreign secretary jeremy hunt the former us secretary of state is accused of torture killing in displacement of tens of millions coming up on the show will the west survive the impending economic up or collapse we speak to the adventure capitalist who made billions with george soros about the ever growing debt that will cause the worst crash in history and as mainstream media obsesses over who

will be the next tory prime minister we examine the issues that really matter from wiki leaks to win brush with legendary writer and musician benjamin zephaniah golan cipel coming up in today's going underground but 1st away from the u.s. economic wars of the e.u. russia venezuela and iran to its attack on the superpower of the 21st century china is what the doldrums not yet resigned f.b.i. director christopher ray says about china it's a threat to our economic security and by extension it's a threat to our national security but it's even more fundamental and that is behavior that violates the rule. it violates principles of fairness and integrity it violates our rules based world order that's existed since the end of world war 2 . put plainly china scenes determined to steal its way up the economic ladder at our expense we've been unable to secure an interview with the chinese ambassador to

london about allegations like these the china is a rogue state bent on theft suffice it to say that the us is clearly violated the post 945 rules based order from career in vietnam to palestine nicaragua or in cuba here though is what china is saying about us policy if the us and china will have to respond to me highness never afraid of any pressure on china certainly has been pressured he has a us cable news presenter telling the world not even to be surprised by revelations from former cia contractor edward snowden now in moscow for safety it's not a huge surprise that the u.s. military is engaged in off fans of cyber attacks yes but the usa is not just offensively hacking countries it is involved in full spectrum surveillance as revealed by edward snowden arguably making accusations against chinese companies like wall way even more risible joining me now via skype from the british colony of them you there is guinness world record holder jim rogers he founded the quantum fund with george soros and is the author of a bull in china investing profitably in the world's greatest market jim welcome to

going underground so you've said trump is making china great again do you think something chinese communist party officials a law fing at the latest sanctions against weiwei well trump called out of the trans-pacific partnership and the chinese looked around and said well that means we're the only ones left they can take over asia now. and maybe that's what mr trump is thinking make america great but it's doing a lot to make china great because now they don't have any major rivals in asia and the pacific for mr rich you know but you've been talking for years about the end of the dollar or perhaps the end of the dollar as a reserve currency do you think china will be seeing this and the developments of the bank as they try and promote that as as presaging. the end of the dollar well as you well know several people were several countries in the world looking for a replace mart least a competitive with the u.s. dollar it is starting to happen there are the banks that the chinese and others

have developed to compete with the u.s. dollar and it's happening i mean when the pound sterling lost its status it didn't happen in a year didn't happen in a decade but it happened and the same thing is starting to happen with the us stock i know you've been saying it for a while lots of people been saying for a while and you you just put your historian hats on there saying mentioning the british empire why has it taken so long for countries like russia china iran to start using currency swaps in rubles and romney miss. 1st of all there's no went for structure if you call up your bank and say i want to do something else the bank doesn't know what to do nearly and earlier everywhere in the world including america including in iran so it takes a while for people to start thinking about it it takes a while for people to actually learn how to do it and it takes a while for people to do it a bench everybody does it is 2nd nature they know that it's better offered easy thing to do but right now i know most places in the world if you save foreign

currency everybody says u.s. dollars that's the problem and that's why people are competitors and now trying to rise because they gave us dollar and u.s. government too much power i don't know where the run into christine legarde recently the famously convicted previously convicted of corruption in a french court head of the i.m.f. but i mean when you meet people like that they don't seem nearly as concerned as you do and they seem relatively sanguine about the world order of the world financial architecture bureaucrats the way you make it in that world issue you rouse up their academia or bureaucracy and you do what you're supposed to do you do what everybody else is does you accept the conventional wisdom and then all of a sudden you look around and the whole world is changed and you don't know what happened for goodness sakes if you're good and you heard lies from government bureaucrats and politicians and academics oh my goodness you're going to have real problems i'm not.
