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. europe's dominant party to delve a major blow in the parliament elections as the national right to the liberals and the greens enjoy a surge in. both attracted the highest turnout in 2 decades. in the u.k. the newly formed party storms to victory with support from the governing conservatives and labor opposition evaporating. and a week of scandal and recriminations of course the world's youngest state leader his job the austrian chancellor is forced out after 9 precedented no confidence vote.

either 10 in the evening on monday here in moscow money and call them brave welcome to world news from r.t. international with the most votes now counted in the fiercely contested european parliament elections and the establishment parties along with the greens and the liberals are set for big wins or projections show that the established centrist bloc has lost its grip on parliament one in every 2 eligible voters took to the polls the highest turnout in 20 years. all right let's break down some of the case numbers there in italy is right wing party the league is projected to win 33 percent of the vote there while in france marine le pen's national rally is said to overtake president party with as much as

23 percent of the ballots austria's center right people's party also sort of surging continental support and there was a significant blow in neighboring germany too for the ruling coalition their share of the vote down by around 7 percent so far we have to get reaction to that for you in a few minutes so how is all this expected to shape the european parliament for the next 5 years or so we're going to be looking at a fragmented grouping to say the least the established movement's losing ground to the smaller parties as you can see despite the gains made by the euro skeptic and right leaning parties though the 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 to parliament graham coalition of center left and right they're set to lose the majority that they've enjoyed for 40 years the other 2 bensky reports next from paris. well europe's waking up night of change where we saw would be established parties at the center right down the center losing whites

and looking round to let you know that of course could spell trouble with that e.u. grand coalition is being too clueless to him which since its inception means that they will now have to reach out to a much smaller parties if they want to keep but still you reach the european parliament on course they was a soothing vote for anti establishment parties across the bloc 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 get a 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 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 and 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 mopping 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 make up now 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 or italian foreign minister franco for t.v. told us that he believes the euro skeptic parties could work as a catalyst for a better europe a new parliament would be have really shrug meant there will be many small groups not always on the same line on many issues but. i think this new ball park you said bullied to go movement which. is one that was already playing with the whole nation others. don't knock your present threat they care of presenting it pushing factor for the current elite to go towards a deep trance formation because that what he eats alyan baltar is not only talents

of the many other countries do what is a transformation is to overcome the state or school day should be conserved even just they want to keep the state of sport for they all interests they shouldn't be concern even day i would see are attached to the good for europe as a whole because the. impulse to push coming from those political parties can be very useful for making europe less bureaucratic more attentive all to request even to do this fear of many many millions of italian. in the u.k. the bracks it party which didn't even exist a few months ago has outgun both the 2 main parties combined breaking down the results in westminster. the newly formed 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 a 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 youth and he believes that the birds of quality control can go on and be successful in general elections if we do not leave the european union all. 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 they listen now the fortunes of the brigs that party in exact opposite to the decimation of the u.k. and they went through the full 2014 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 and in fact we could have a breakdown of some of the more prominent leadership of that bread party. drugs that has been dominating the political sphere here in the u.k. to the point that perhaps votes is 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. 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 briggs and party did. well last night the 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 birds and 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 last i recall reaction from british academic and former politician alan scott who believes the results in the u.k. show that the governing conservative should appoint a leader next month. theresa may just resigned as prime minister she was one of the worse prime ministers in british history the party she led was obviously demoralized by have resignation since the conservative party in government had failed to take the european union on the day we were supposed to come out that was

the 29th of march the voters a big stream the angry in the brakes caught he would be high in the polls is a lose all which is what is the significance of the vote in britain and indeed in every other country in europe is how it effects the major parties in the standing in domestic policy and politics and what's going to happen is the conservative party in this incident saying. get a new leader who will take the european union deal or no deal by the 31st of the party having made its mark and having given the short to the established parties. will stay there waiting to see what the tory government under a new prime minister does if the new prime minister takes britain deal or no deal on the 31st of it. then i think there won't be a general election in 2022 in which case during that period the

party will just dissolve all those conservatives who went over to will drift back to the conservative party. of the world's youngest state leader austrian chancellor sebastian coe it seems to be removed from power along with his administration following and confidence vote in parliament 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 but 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. but no confidence motion was table by the opposition socialist

party and approved by a majority of austrian deputies members of the right wing euro skeptic freedom party until a week ago had been governing with also voted against him the political crisis in the collapse of the ruling coalition began with the resignation of kurds is 2nd in command last saturday that was after this video emerged of the freedom party's christian structure offering lucrative public contracts to a woman claiming to be a relative of a russian oligarch. political support sebastien kurd 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 so in the meantime the austrian president will appoint a caretaker government. spike the term all austrian voting patterns didn't substantially change in the e.u. elections even the former vice chancellor struck a has apparently secured a seat in the european parliament because his party made significant gains coming

out as the country's top party. and we have 3 i'm usually enough 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 unbelievable freedom parties regularly leave early to say the least expected in themselves much. so it was only about 2 and a half percent. that means that if we don't. release in the past. may be time. for him to elections was to show up because it. was released most of the voters had already made up their mind so they might change their mind. actions in 4

months. it looks set to take a temporary backseat in the u.k. with the country now scrambling to find a new prime minister will look at the candidates vying to take over from theresa may after the break. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going

to do next about different clubs in one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to suppress it. if. i'm going to talk about football not be or else you can think i was going to do it . by the way ways of the. welcome back more on europe's political revolving door the leadership race to replace to reason may of british prime minister is heating up this is may announce that she'll step down on june the 7th to failing to secure a deal from those who have declared themselves in the running this currently 9 candidates vying for

a shot at the premiership conservative m.p.'s will then whittle it down to just the final the party believes a new prime minister will be in place by the end of july now it means the reason may will still be in office both to. in the leadership contest and also donald trump's 1st official state visit to the u.k. next month whoever does eventually take over the british pm could stay in charge until the next general election that's not scheduled until 2022 and with many senior members of the ruling party lining up to head the government we take a look next at some of the front runners to be the next resident of 10 downing street. like expectancy it. was written in the still machinery of that country he said to the global economic system if you give me the right. terminology.

is the soviet union would stop people leaving and the lesson from history is clear . if you turn the e.u. club into a prison designed to get out of the one diminish it will grow and we won't be the only person are the ones who are sky. channels like on t.v. better than it is russia today what better view is to believe that truth is relative.

vince cable jameco been someone who has a clear plan albright said he wants to remind ourselves because he's quite cold and waits a g.c. everything to be open for stunts and he's going to be the next one not enough then because i think everyone else did their own self guy. mohammad ali ahmed i.v. in my present prime minister probably strange to be i a man. was he just one. of them and it's going to be afraid male. in the build up to memorial day that's monday the u.s. army asked the veterans to share their stories of how military service influenced their lives and got some unexpected results serve something greater than myself armies are going to do just that when you are give to others never take the ones i love and to better myself as a man in

is really negatively impacted my life in a 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. in 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 it's side rates are so high amongst the veteran population because their 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. south africa's newly inaugurated president several rather poser has declared that his country is entering a new era but with his party and country deeply divided he looks set to face an uphill battle one of the key problems the new president faces is the legacy of

apartheid and the enduring challenge of extreme inequality by people for instance currently represents 9 percent of south africa's population but own more than 70 percent of private farmland the government's pledge to begin reclaiming land without providing compensation a special r.t. report looks at how the dispute is threatening to rupture the social fabric. i feel that my life and the life of my family members and the future of my children under 3 in this could be one person who 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 very biased. 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 dream way youngest in this country continued to take the lead to lead people if we had to live by the way to ourselves the advocate for a free and just society that spent make people we must struggle for the 10 of them let people suffer in this country about half of the population lives in poverty in this country the old propaganda is that if you ever you wish. you were a feat but we speak of the age of conquest we speak you'll forget that you're a white people i'm on prepared people my grandfather was diverted on our family fall and brother he was killed in

a uniform that we all paranoid you can see their eyes and many of them face white or still find themselves affected by a crime and we also think we cycle on this believe that a civil war in south africa is inevitable we are 15 with a ticking time bomb. ok that is your news for now your next update from the moscow news team as off the crosstalk looking at who might take over as the british prime minister in just over a week's time. join me every thursday on the all excitement chill and i'll be speaking to get us

a fresh perspective i'm used to suppressing. what. i'm going to talk about football not the or else i just think i was going to do. by the way what is it that. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle briggs it claims another victim who will replace the rest of me bojo is waiting in the wings and it trumps a very confusing and contradictory iran policy who's in charge.

processing some real news i'm joined by my guest he's a political analyst with international and in belgrade because marcus papadopoulos he's the editor of politics 1st magazine rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it's go to belgrade marcus we've had a tumultuous few weeks with the trump administration showing the world in one form or another it's a ram policy it is very confusing it is very contradictory and i have to wonder what is in play right here is this a big game of bluff or we just have multiple centers of power within the white house. trying to achieve their own aims because trump seems to be all over the place as matter fact even contradicting bolton and pompei you know it's a it's a very confusing picture what do you read go ahead belgrade. well peter any discussion about the growing in american threats to iran would not be complete

without reference to how iran is a great force for stability and security in the middle east because iran prevented the cancerous tentacles of the taliban from extended into the middle east and of course it was iran that ensured the defeat of isis in iraq now that is not something you are ever going to hear about in western mainstream major but the fact is that iran is a great source of in-store stability and security market to waste but we still have a secretary of state might plan pale in public making claims that iran in isis are in league with each other and he's still trying to sell bad ok that's what they're selling the american public i mean this is not only is that wrong it is it's an immoral to make that claim because of what you just said here.
