europe. as well as the liberal. party is expected to win. in this country's history.

to run the clock across the world. international from the team myself hello and welcome to our top story with most votes. in the fiercely contested parliament elections. parties along with the liberals are set for big wins while projections show the centrist bloc losing its grip on parliament perhaps another surprise of the night overall voter turnout was the highest in 20 years out over 50 percent.

well let's break down the numbers in italy material salvini is right wing party the league is projected to win 33 percent of the vote while in france marine le pen's national rally is set to overtake president the money will micron's party with as much as 23 percent of the ballot austria's ruling center right people's party also saw a surge in continental support and there was a significant blow in neighboring germany too for the ruling coalition their share of the vote down by 7 percent so far so how is this all expected to shape the european parliament for the next 5 years well we're looking at a fragmented parliament with a stablish movements losing ground to smaller parties that's essentially what all these dots are showing despite the gains made by the euro skeptic and right leaning parties pro e.u. groups are still expected to hold on to 2 thirds of the seats the biggest blow of these elections will be told to parliament from coalition the center left center

right there said to lose their 40 year long majority breaking it all down charlie toobin skin partners. well europe's waking up after a night of change where we sued the established parties of the center right down the center losing whites and most of it not to let you know that of course could spell trouble with that you grand coalition is being too clueless to him which since its inception means that they will now have to leech out to a much smaller parties if they want to keep still reach the european parliament on course they was assume anti establishment parties across the block i would parties like the national rally here in france and a leak in italy actually talking the polls in their own countries. to be nice hearty not only top of the polls it looks like it's projected to gave

around 28 seats in that this election a couple of seats from 2014 and so the need speaking to the press after those results are coming in said that this was essentially the people in europe saying that they want to see anything different other than merely your did you get your 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 and gary and the poles and finns the swedes the danes a new europe is born. well here in france we saw muffy in love pens national rally party topping the polls of course they also took the pope 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 michel whose party came in 2nd place they would just

picture the post they are trying to brush this off was noticed by the losses they were expect. but marking a pen is now calling for those anti establishment parties to form a grand law within the european parliament to be a stronger voice and she's calling for a new shake up of politics here in france the source 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 wryly 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. the ruling governing

party even austria also talked to the polls that we've more than 30 percent of the vote the chancellor of besting kurt said he was very pleased with that result particularly as it comes at a difficult time for his government you are supposed to be facing a no confidence vote later today i know that a scandal hit the party just a week ago but despite that scandal it seems boodles of people in austria still turned out to offer him their support send your 3 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 result 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 i'm believing the other 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. the 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 yeah a fascinating few days and french politician is just me or told us he believes that europe has now entered a pivotal new era. well i would say that of course the big surprise is that the green party is going up very very broadly but it doesn't mean that it is enough to save the so-called system and of course we see that many skeptical audience of one day election throughout europe

and i think that we are facing a new product or a new era for europe but i don't see how they will solve the problems of europe the union is split and it will be very very difficult to find a compromise between qualities between let's say i the logies which are very opposite but i do believe that this europe the present europe is dead well over in the u.k. the newly founded breaks that party has an astonishing night claiming more votes than the tories on labor party combined breaking down the results here see celie. in the build up to this election all the polls are indicating that the briggs and polity would do well on the newly formed regs and policy we should point out and it would appear that they have done as well as those expectations held in fact they've won by far the most seats in those european elections for the u.k.

and as you mentioned they're getting more than the conservatives and labor combined and then lead. he's somebody who has been really a figurehead not just in these elections but in the push leading up to that referendum in 2016 for the u.k. to leave the e.u. and he believes he's been bored by those results in those european elections and feels that the birds of quality can cope can go on and be successful in general elections if we do not leave the european union. that just as we've surprised people in these european elections we will go full would absolutely stunned them in the next general election there's a big wake up call here to westminster let's see whether these elections well in 242014 elections having won 28 piece but since then they'd suffer the number of defections not a number of votes counted it's shifting over to the briggs and polity who have now taken over the mantle as the main pro brags of party here in the u.k.

and in fact we can have a breakdown of some of the more prominent leadership of that bribes party. of course brags that has been dominating the political sphere here in the u.k. to the point that perhaps voters off fed up with it all and just want the politicians to get on with it. now the 2 main parties here in the u.k. labor the conservatives they had. tories of course are gearing up to try to get a new leader in place and they're going through that process now the new tory leader presumably new prime minister won't be elected by the electorate but will be chosen

by the party members it is also worth pointing out that while the brits and party did well last night leave parties in general did remain parties combined but the issue that the remained party face is the splitting of the vote between the lib dems who came 2nd in these elections and labor the greens and so on including the s.n.p. who have done well in scotland so again while a very good night for. votes is on the policy in general it's not as clear cut to say that this would indicate that they would win any 2nd referendum if there was one to be held and it's a question where does that leave britain well we heard from the profession of european law he says that for many u.k. voters nigel for is the only political figure who could finally break the brakes and impose. many people were sad about the mess that the last 2 or 3. especially those who want to leave the european union. was very disappointed with

the conservatives. going around. and quite clearly mr ferrars also a very simple and straightforward message i think if you the number of people the percentage of people who actually voted for the party who want a 2nd reference the crucial question is what happens in malaysia will they get off the fence that has collapsed under them as somebody said and i think over the next 3 or 4 days this is where we work it out. well break it looks set to take a temporary backseat in the u.k. as a new leadership race gets into full swing we take a look at the candidates vying to take over from theresa may a little later in the program. 2 more world news this hour south africa's newly inaugurated president cyril around the poser as the clear about his country is entering a new era but with his party and country divided he looks set to face an uphill

battle one of the key problems the new president will face is the legacy of apartheid on the enduring challenge of extreme inequality white people for instance currently represent 9 percent of south africa's population but own over 70 percent of private from land the government has pledged to begin clearing some of that land without providing compensation and special r.t. report looks at how the dispute is threatening to rupture this social fabric. 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 who through i'm 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

sophie shevardnadze patience is being put to test with its membership top stalled and over and made us pressure to drop its arms deal well the question. that i'll stick to its guns while i ask again many. former minister for affairs. after decades of knocking on the european. dream seems to be getting cold and its other alliances with western powers are under strain too as anger as latest arms deal with moscow raises hackles across the pond will he be cowed back into the western fold by trade pressure from the u.s. what comes does it have up its sleeve to maintain its balancing act between east and west and what steps will ankara take next along its own path

a man riteish turkey's former minister for faris welcome to the show it is great to have you with us today allow us to talk about how you were turkish chief negotiator in a session talks with the e.u. and back in 2017 president of the about an openly declared that turkey doesn't meet the e.u. now onkar is pushing for brussels to finally decide whether they want turkey in the union or not if turkey doesn't need the e.u. why not just quit the tocs and be done with it. i have always argued that the e.u. is turkey's dietitian we all know that we have to watch what we eat and we need to exercise regularly to lead a healthy life but sometimes we need the prescription of a dietician would tells us how much to eat for breakfast what to eat for lunch what to eat for dinner and how much exists eyes to make throughout the day so the e.u. process itself has been fairly good for turkey it has helped us increase the standards of our democracy increased the standard so far baby food increased the

standard so far roads and highways increased the standard so far telecommunication increased the standards of our human rights so that each process has been good for turkey but the attitude towards turkey has not been as good turkey probably can apply 5 to be in the book of records of guinness book of records because no other country has waited for such a long time to join any international organization in history we have been trying to become a member since 958 and it has come to a point where both the turkish public opinion and the european public opinion is sick and tired of this question so. he can do with or without europe but europe also has to decide can they do without turkey and i think the time to answer that.
