less than 24-hour is before the dutch go to the polls in what is being seen as a defining moment for european politics. we're outside parliamenter who says that up speaking to a pollster who says that up to half of dutch voters are still undecided. that is why these televised debates are being seen as so influential. last night, the first time the prime minister, based here in the hague, went head—to—head with his populist rival. two front runners in the polls at the moment it was competent but there were no real fireworks. we were watching the debate in rotterdam. the biggest applause came when the prime minister said there is a difference between sitting on your sofa and tweeting and actually the country. populist here responded by saying that the prime minister cared more for asylum seekers than he did own country. he also said that mark rutte had been using brexit to try to scaremonger the dutch voters. thank you very much. the north—eastern united states is hunkering down for the worst snowstorm of the season. 50 million people along the eastern seaboard are under blizzard warnings. schools are closed and thousands of fli

parliament, up to 15. it could be that man is the rainmaker. the question for markets from my perspective is have the dutch right in terms of the people of the netherlands have drawn a wall up against this populist wave? >> sure, well this dutch , election was always going to be a good test to see which way the populists winds were blowing in europe. and it was the real test we've first had in 2017 in the region. those populist winds are not quite as strong as we thought they would be. that has filtered into the positioning with the currency. the euro has rebounded quite aggressively. as the political mist clears, as people realize maybe they were a little bit too worried about the risk of populism in europe the euro is likely to , grind higher over the course of this year. we may start seeing ecb tightening in the second half of this year once those political clouds begin to clear, giving more of an uplift to the single currency. >> what do you think as far as the reaction in the bond market? is this a sigh of relief kind of day? >> i certainly think we are seeing a bit of relief honestly on the results i

parliament. campaigning has been overshadowed by a diplomatic row between the netherlands and turkey. our chief correspondent gavin hewitt sent this report from rotterdam. long lines in rotterdam for the key confrontation of the dutch, anti—eu, anti—islam, a candidate who puts opposing immigration at the heart of his campaign. translation: they don't want to integrate. they disregarded our values. they want to rule over us and spit on us. the prime minister then challenged geert wilders over saying he wanted to remove korans from people's houses. translation: i still haven't heard how you're going to go door—to—door. i'm very curious how you're going to pick up those korans. these two leaders are vying for top places in the polls. among this university audience we did not find much support for wilders. his main policy is all foreigners go back to their own countries. that is the whole point. and i don't think, it's not dutch. but out on the streets, it's a different story. a lot of my friends, i think 80% are supporting geert wilders, and that'sjust because we think he can bring the netherlands back, of what it was. all the other parties have vowed not to work with geert wilders, so it is most unlikely he will be a

dutch trump. he's been in office as a parliamentarian way longer than donald trump has been active. he's one of the longest members in parliamentyes, he could win. right now it looks like it's going to be a tie between four major parties but seeing the elections in the u.s., no one trusts the polls anymore. even the prime minister said, you know, it could go either way. the prime minister may become the biggest but it's still possible. >> what gives -- what's the basis for the concerns about potential russian interference? >> everyone saw what happened, of course, in the u.s. with the fbi and cia is saying about the russians meddling in these elections and they are worried it's going to happen in holland. there's been sort of pr battles staged from russia as you saw here. there's worries about hacking and leaks. people are just very worried and skeptical and want to make sure that everything is just on the up and up. >> what are the russian interests in this election? >> they just want the sense that we're hearing from our parliamentarians and secret service, they want to sort of meddle and push a more pro-russian or maybe a le
