12:01 pm
our international news center here in moscow this is our take your company this hour i mean an o'neill our top story with most votes. in the fiercely contested european parliament elections to establishment parties along with the greens the liberals are sent for a big wins while projections show the a stop or centrist bloc losing its grip on parliament one in every 2 eligible voters took to the polls the highest turnout in 20 years.
12:02 pm
well let's break down some of the key numbers in its silly material salvini is right wing party beleaguer is projected to win 33 percent of the vote front's marine le pen's national rally is set to overtake president among the party with as much as 23 percent of the ballots austria's center right people's party also saw a surge in continental support on there was a significant blow in neighboring germany too for the ruling coalition their share of the vote down by a row and 7 percent so far so how is all this expected to shape the european parliament for the next 5 years we're looking at a fragmented grouping to see of at least with a style bush movements losing ground to smaller parties that's a sense of 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 yet nothing or 2 thirds of the seats the biggest blow all these elections will be dealt to parliament's graham coalition of center left and right they're set to lose their 40 year long majority do pinski
12:03 pm
has more from parse. well europe's waking up night of change where we will be established parties at the center right down the center losing whites in most of the round election that of course could spell trouble with that do you want coalition is being put on a story. which since its inception means that they will now have to reach out to a much smaller parties if they want to. do you reach the european parliament on course they was. anti establishment policies that crossed the bloc i would parties like the national rally here in france and the leak in italy actually topping the polls in their own countries. not to be nice holiday you know i only hope the polls it looks like it's projected to get a around 20. 8 seats in that this election
12:04 pm
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 won't see anything different other than the you all get you 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 hug ariens the poles the finns the swedes the danes a new europe is born. well here in france we saw enough enough pens national rally party topping the polls because they also took the poll back in 2014 this time very slow it 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
12:05 pm
to the post they are trying to brush this off as noticed by the losses they were expecting but mocking the 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 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 there are also big wins for anti establishment ruling parties in countries such as poland and hungary the other big surprise of the night was the green vote which is up significantly here in france and old. so in germany
12:06 pm
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 the european parliament will be very different to what we've known for not just the last 5 years but 40 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. going through some of the main plots there well let's go live to edinburgh political commentator joel know why for his talk john good to see you again what did you take what's the takeaway message here what's most striking a very eventful weekend. well if you're in it describes your more dry eyes of the right to cross europe the demise of centrism and this is no surprise because since the global economic crash into terms of the centrism has failed to learn any
12:07 pm
lessons and indeed the main proponents of the you probably most prominently to the personified in the person of the man you micron have events no move towards any kind of reform whatsoever in the spawns to the rise of you know skepticism from the right is a mainstream political current where before it's always been on the margins and so this is no surprise this is a drubbing has been delivered to centrism to the elites to the ruling order across europe and many many different countries so it's certainly an on what trend is no fashion upon and the european union is going to be nigh sooner rather than later does beg the question then water extend does this come represents a challenge to the established european order we should burn mine about 2 thirds of the seats have gone to pro e.u. at parties and i understand there's a lot of fuss it's in the midst of that but the e.u. parliament is going to be greatly fragmented here. or certainly is going to be very
12:08 pm
disruptive to the anti you piece are going to disrupt business as usual that's indeed why they've been elected and could be very difficult for the european union to continue with business as normal despite the fight over the as you rightly mention the majority of a piece in the european parliament will still be e.u. any piece but nonetheless a significant block historically will be anti e.u. committee to disruption over the you and to make the case for fundamental change which is clearly desirable not only on the right but of course the left working people across europe have been suffering a monumental despair in there and light of this economic crash and the ensuing austerity programs that have been implemented across europe and special. and you keep it is a behavior it's a slow moving mechanism will the results of some of said this is an earthquake in some countries come the e.u.
12:09 pm
respond to this result with any meaningful way will we see a change in its policies. no i don't think we will i think they will just double down on as i see personify it's a problem at the heart of the youth since the end of november last year he's been dealing with a rising tide of revolt in his country and and the shape of the yellow vest movement and he's responded not by listening to the legitimate concerns of french main women who have been on those demonstrations by no means all of them ideologically committed regular working people he's been dealing with them with gas and batons and unleashing his riot police against these protesters so based on what we've seen so far the e.u. and its current form is not fit to listen to any concerns and still be interested to see how things will play out in the next 4 or 5 years across europe john appreciate your take this our political commentator john white to live on the program. austria's chancellor sebastian kurtz is to be
12:10 pm
removed from power along with his administration following a no confidence vote in parliament it comes a week after the country's ruling coalition collapsed as a result of a corruption sting targeting the then vice chancellor. i can understand the feeling of revenge the wish to put yourself in a better position for the election but what i truly can't understand is that this vote of no confidence against me is now being extended to the entire government only a few days ago the goal was to remove me as chancellor that's maybe understandable as a tactic but the wish to topple the entire governments a few months before an election this is something i think nobody in this country will comprehend. marty senior correspondent joins us live to break this down on this quite a lot the breakdown of the story rather
12:11 pm
a topsy turvy day just released for sebastian kurtz 1st his party make sizable gains the top the euro elections then his chance to ship gets sunk he cite his government is what led to this departure well there's is the still a lot of mystery a lot of speculation who was behind this why now why did they wait 2 years but briefly to sum up what happened to german newspapers 2 german publications release a video. showing the austrian vice chancellor back in 2017 meeting in informal circumstances in a mansion. with a woman who claimed to be the niece of a russian oligarch. and she and the vice chancellor had a very school let's call it a politically incorrect conversation in which he appeared to offer her government
12:12 pm
contracts of public contracts in exchange if she bought out a stake in the office biggest newspaper and realigned its editorial policy in favor of the ruling coalition. there is. truth. reading he's a liar you know if. he's. wild you know we we don't know for certain when nobody is able to verify this yet but by all accounts the journalists the politicians themselves experts i mean this was this was in all likelihood a trap entrapment chief of course wasn't the niece of a russian oligarch the oligarch in question macro has no nice so this this you know it was of well funded well planned operation and microphones and
12:13 pm
cameras hidden in light switches and in phone charges nevertheless it caused outrage in the public in the media and the heads of the ruling now that's coordinated in today the chancellor as you say of the vice chancellor of a different party there in the coalition together but this the chancellor now that house departed just fill in the blanks leaving from what you've been saying up to sedate it well the the vice chancellor he's the head of the right wing freedom party they're part of the ruling coalition along with chancellor kurtz's own party which is the people's party they've ruled together now we've just had to vote of no confidence in the chancellor himself and in his cabinet and in the ministers that he's on his way out something from the opposition from a verb there was
12:14 pm
a vote and. but the freedom party itself they also staged a walkout the ministers they'll be a new election in september in which they will austria will vote for the new chancellor but mr kurtz i'm self believes he'll be it. that's what he said. 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 results of all time with the biggest distance from 2nd place of all time it is simply unbelievable. nevertheless as you mentioned this whole scandal didn't stop kurds from making major gains in the european election his party surged nevertheless whoever whoever was behind this. was likely.
12:15 pm
feel good about themselves the they certainly got what they wanted the austrian government now forced to resign for forced out. paddling back disruption at the very least our senior correspondent morocco's they are breaking the diana very intriguing story thank you very much. let's delve deeper into some of the queries some rob was raising there with hines gartner a political scientist from the university of vienna welcome why was this no confidence vote triggered considering it wasn't as we've been going through it wasn't the austrian chancellor himself in the so-called the gate video. what was. built was who should be the social democratic party but it was the coalition. of popular times liquids that wouldn't have been.
12:16 pm
if they wouldn't have something non-confidence vote their social mental coffeepot equipment have explained. space criticised times like goods. for the. holder of previous period but now they could not vote for him and when you look at the freedom of course there's a little bit of eventually because. you are trying to cook for one to do business. here. he did not accept civil. could such as this didn't. release more government so huge change the ministers of the freedom about the reese friendly would have been a friend to the experience and. so it would be social democratic but we have.
12:17 pm
no we don't accept this one yet it's essential as you're seeing technocrats being put into the opposition is this the end old sebastian encouraged when it comes to the chancellor ship because he's europe's youngest leader he had the bucking of the austrian public we just saw today in the european elections his people's party strong showing there. by the time autumn comes again do you think he'll be back on almost forgiven by the public if he has to be. we don't know because elections orderers have to self their memories of course we have to place it in 2002 were they meant of could. also have a crisis just if they don't bow to you and then there are elections and different party must really be. joins the kurds. and the same more and then here to
12:18 pm
new coalition because if they don't. already quids is looking at this example by students but how about we don't know but if you look at the border numbers young voters didn't vote for the. european elections for the people's party so the young voters make sure nobody voted for. most of the other social democrats so even just talking about the polls mr gardiner it's intriguing because the resigned vice chancellor mr struck a it seems that he has enough votes to secure an m.e.p. seat why where austrians not discouraged enough to vote f.p.o. after this video scandal it seems as if he's going to be going to the parliament in europe. you know about these really really relieved. to say the least they expected themselves much rose his sides so it was
12:19 pm
only about 2 and a half percent. that means that the if we don't build up a strong peace in the past. maybe time b.t.o. and elections was to show up because at that diamond it was the least most of the voters had already made up their mind so they might change their mind. about it meant the elections. for months it's an intriguing half a year ahead in your country heinz gardner political scientist from the university of vienna thank you very much for your expertise on the mother and all face but a new part it rains on the parade of the tories and labor in the u.k. a look at the breaks of party shaking things up in the e.u. elections after that.
12:20 pm
i mean we were at camp rounds of america i think it's called there's like a chain of these campgrounds and trailer parks across america so yeah these types of organizations would be rolled up into a big a rural up so you have economies of scale you now have lots of australia parks all socialize reporting to one corporate behavior on wall street and they're extracting nickels and dimes and a lot of people are some. one else seems wrong. just don't call. me. yet to stamp out these days to come to africa. and engage with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
12:21 pm
and i want to start back in the u.k. where the newly funded brains and party is how many 24 hours to remember claiming more votes than the conservative a labor party's combined in the e.u. parliament elections breaking dawn what we need to know. the newly formed party we should point out 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 for raj he's somebody who has been a really a figurehead not just in these elections but in the push leading up to that
12:22 pm
referendum in 2016 for the u.k. to leave the e.u. and he bails out the boards of quality control can go on and be successful in general elections if we do not leave the european union. then 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 they listen now the fortunes of the brags that party in exact opposite to the decimation of the u.k. and they went for the full 2014 elections having won 28 piece but since then they'd suffer the number of defections my number of votes counted it's shifting over to the briggs and polity and in fact we can have a breakdown of some of the more prominent leadership of that bread party.
12:23 pm
drugs 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 in the conservatives they had bad nights and tories of course are gearing up to try to get a new leader in place and they're going through that process now it is also worth pointing out that while the brig's of party did. well last night the leave parties in general did worse than remain parties combined but the issue that the remained party to 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 progress votes is on the birds and policy in general it's not
