in moscow this monday the 27th. news this hour 1st for you with the most votes now counted in the fiercely contested european parliamentary elections the anti-establishment parties along with the greens and the liberals are set for big wins while projections show that the established centrist bloc lost its grip on parliament one in every 2 eligible voters took to the polls the highest turnout in 20 years. ok let's break down some of the key numbers for you then and it's a limit right wing party the league is projected to win 33 percent of the vote there one in france marine le pen's and rally is set to will take president of the

new party with as much as 23 percent of the ballots austria's central right people's party also saw a surge in continental support and there was a significant blow to neighboring germany too for the ruling coalition that their share of the vote down to around 7 percent so far so how is all of this expected to shape the european parliament for the next 5 years then we're looking at a fragmented grouping to say the least this stablish movement's losing ground to the smaller parties and 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 dealt with parliament's grand coalition of center right and left that set to lose the majority that they've enjoyed for 40 years. now reports from paris. 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 looking round in the election that of course could

spell trouble for that you want coalition is being too clueless to. which since its inception means that they will now have to reach out to a much smaller parties if they want to keep the still reach of the european parliament on course they was a suit for anti establishment parties across the bloc i would parties like the national rally here in france and a leak in italy actually toping the polls in their own countries. to be nice hearty not only told the polls it looks like it's projected to gauge 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 the 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 hunt gary and the poles and 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 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 pick to the post they are trying to brush this off as not as bad a loss is they were expect. but marking 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 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 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 that makeup now of the european parliament will be very different to stop what 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. now former italian foreign minister franco frattini told us he believes the euro skeptic parties could work as a catalyst for a better europe. the new parliament will be have really shrug. there will be many small groups not always on the scene line on many of the issues that. i think this new people are believed to go movements on which the need is one that was buried in the pan which is the polish and others. i don't not represent a threat they care a present it pushing factor for dick current elite to go to wars in deep trance formation because the. economy and borders got totally talian by the

many other countries do what is a transformation is to order come this day to school day should be consumer eve just a want to keep the status quo for day all interest they should then be concern even day i would see attached to the good for europe as a whole because being dead even polls to push coming from those political parties can be very useful for making europe less bureaucratic more attentive to hold just to request even to did this fear of many many millions of italian court. in the u.k. the newly founded bricks and parties had a 24 hours to remember claiming more seats than the conservatives and labor parties combined in the parliament elections breaking down the result is he's already. the newly formed breaks of policy 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 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 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 briggs party in exact opposite to the decimation of ukip and they went through the full 2014 elections having won 28 piece but since then they'd suffer the number of defections many number of votes counted it's shifting over to

the briggs and polity and in fact we could have a breakdown of some of the more prominent leadership of that bribes party. 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 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. and p. who have done well in scotland so again while a very good night for programs and votes is on the birds and party 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 we heard from a european law professor who says the for many british voters not all for russia is the only political figure who could finally break the brakes impasse. many people were fed up the mess that the last 2 or 3 years and especially those who want to leave the european union they were very disappointed with the conservatives. going around neverland 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 referendum the crucial question is what happens in labor will labor 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. or look set to take a temporary backseat in the u.k. they got to find a new prime minister 1st and a leader for the governing conservative party that's getting into full swing we'll take a look at the candidates vying to take over from teresa may a little bit later in the program. also out the world's youngest state leader chancellor sebastian curtseys to be removed from power along with his administration following a no confidence vote in parliament to soften him it comes a week after the 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 is to remove me as chancellor that's maybe understandable as a tactic but the wish to topple the entire government a few months before an election this is something i think nobody in this country will comprehend. the no confidence motion was tabled by the opposition socialist party and approved by a majority of austrian deputies members of the right wing euro skeptic freedom party and coats until a week ago had been governing with also voted against him the political crisis and the collapse of the ruling coalition began with the resignation of curtis 2nd in command last saturday that was after a video emerged of the freedom party's hind christine struck her offering lucrative public contracts to a woman claiming to be a relative of a russian oligarch exchange political support. also asking kurtz subsequently dismissed the interior minister also

a freedom party member over his unwillingness to criticize truckers actions the rest of the party's ministers then staged a mass resignation in protest and were replaced by civil servants elections are currently scheduled to take place in september meantime the austrian president will appoint a caretaker government. despite the turmoil austrian voting patterns didn't substantially change in the elections even the former vice chancellor strata has apparently secured a seat in the european parliament and kurtz's party made significant gains coming out as the country's top party. and we have 3 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 . really believed her. early to say the least expected in themselves much of various sides so it was only about 2 and

a half percent but if we don't buy the rose that means that if we don't buy through . her strong breeze in the past. maybe time between the new year or into elections was to show up because that 3rd guy i'm going to read was the least most of the voters had already made up their mind so they might change their mind until. their elections in 4 months south africa's newly inaugurated president is vowing to lead the country into a new era but can he deliver we look at the issues he's facing among our stories after the break. this in petersburg international economic forum is a unique event in today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has

sophie shevardnadze turkish patience is being put to test whether it's membership top stalled and over a nato us pressure to drop its arms deal. stick to its guns while i ask again turkish former minister for affairs. after decades of knocking on the european union's door. dream seems to be getting cold and its other alliances with western values are under strain to. deal with moscow raises hackles across the pond will turkey be cowed back into the western fold by trade pressure from the us what cards does it have up its sleeve to maintain. it's a balancing act between east and west and what steps will ankara take next along

its own path a man made his former minister for affairs welcome to the show it is great to have you with us today allow us to talk about how you are turkish chief negotiator in a session talks with the e.u. and back in 2017 president of the un 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 talks 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 will 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 increase the standards of our human rights so the e.u. process has been good for turkey but the e.u. attitude towards turkey has not been as good turkey probably can apply 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 turkey can do with or without europe but europe also has to decide.
