corruption the parliament votes tomorrow if it decides in favor of sanctions hungary could lose its e.u. votingrights. and mr obama did not hold back here is what some choice words for european lawmakers make sure you don't know personally have watched and i've come here today because you're not going to condemn just the government but our nation as well that we're going to denounce hungary that's been a member of the family of christian european nations for a thousand years. if you're going to denounce hungary that contributed to the great history of europe with hard work and shed its blood when it was needed. like. authorized debate happened at the e.u. second home in strasburg where we find the dog in europe correspondent max often welcome max so victor all beyond that with much to say in his own defense what did you make of his statement. actually that sound byte fill was well picked because it showed the strategy of the bond trying to deflect from the details of the actual accusations that were made in that report to saying that hungary was being condemned and tact even as a nation so that

likely that this article seven procedure will start maybe eventually leading to the stripping of e.u. voting rights but we'll only know for sure afterwards. thank you very much. and just for we go to the top stories we're following for you here today on news. has said there's no excuse for expressions of hate sympathies in response to crimes committed by migrants remarks came to parliament the opposition far right deep part he is accusing her of ignoring the concerns of some citizens of migration. you are watching news coming to you live from berlin we have more coming up for you at the top of the next to me will be with you then you can get all the latest news information around the clock on our website. thanks for the. letter we were. when do we want to. be pursued.

it's a later date a vote on whether to strip away e.u. voting rights from hungary that of course would be a major blow for the country on the international stage it would damage its reputation but it won't be much of a surprise to the country's far right prime minister viktor orban he was in strasbourg speaking to every piece on tuesday and he said that the e.u. is simply trying to blackmail him to fall into line with what they want rather than what guerin's want but i've been speaking to brooke who's a professor in european studies at stanford university in berlin and he said the parliamentarians are making hungry an example for other countries. well what we see with the vote of the european parliament is not automatically a punishment of hungary it's more that they are put on stage and it's naming and shaming procedure not so much what is called the nuclear option that at the end of the process that you will kick out hungary if this is not happening because there are too many other countries who flirt with similar ideas compared with what stan

the vote is unlikely to surprise hungary's far right anti immigration prime minister he and the e.u. have clashed repeatedly over the years. victor brand has accused the european parliament of trying to blackmail him to change his ways and in budapest his foreign minister has dismissed the vote saying hungary is being unfairly targeted who like you for your own parliament today should have been in parliament decision was nothing else but at revenge of pro immigration politicians against hungary. outside put a pests parliament anti government campaigners protested mad all of them in that are best opened talks about everything on tuesday but not the reality here in hungry everything is always about migration it's to full heard gary and and they swallow it by going through their own fears is true it's not a distortion the government have been changing the law step by step i think because they want to hold on to power the e.u. will issue hungry with a formal warning before deciding whether to strip it of its voting rights such a move would damage hungary's international reputation but thi

trigger the article seven process that could result in sanctions which would strip hungry of its e.u. voting rights a recent report criticized prime minister viktor orban populist government for silencing the media dismissing independent judges and. encouraging graft now in an earlier speech to the parliament or been accused pro migrant forces in the e.u. of threatening to blackmail andriy. and a standing by for us in mexico to see it so the european parliament voted in favor of triggering article seven that's punishing hungry for violations of rule of law what does this mean now for hungry. well first of all this is highly symbolic as you just mentioned it's the first time this is happening at least in the european parliament we all know there was an article seven procedure against poland but that was triggered somewhere else ok so this is highly symbolic already sends a message but of course everybody talks about the nuclear option at the end of which possibly gets stripped of its voting rights but let me just tell you it's a long way to get there and that decision at the end is unanimous

hungary says it will challenge a european parliament decision which could see it stripped of its e.u. voting rights parliament members voted by a large majority to take action against hungary for not following evaluates on democracy and civil rights first time such measures have been approved me and miles leader aung sun suu kyi has admitted to a government could have handled the range of crisis better more than six hundred thousand range of muslims have fled a military crackdown in me in ma since august twenty seventh team the un is called a textbook case of ethnic cleansing has been speaking at the world economic forum in hanoi millions of people in the eastern united states making last minute preparations for what is predicted to be a major storm hurricane florence downgraded to a category two storm in recent hours but still ten million people have been warned they are at risk and gallacher is in wilmington north carolina. there are two major concerns that forecasters have here one is the storm surge which is predicted to be anywhere from two meters just above my head to twice that height

leaders then it will remain as a warning if not it could lead as i said to budapest having its e.u. voting rights taken away that's quite significant and throughout all this younger and prime as a victor remain defiant doesn't he over the accusations that his country faces. yes we saw viktor orban addressing peas in strasbourg here on tuesday he came to defend himself to defend his rule and his policies and he was defiant he made a speech in which he said the e.u. was trying to blackmail him to change but in fact he had been voted with the majority by hung gary instead. what he wants to do and that is seal our borders keep immigration out but you know i also spoke to an opposition you said well there's a lot of focus on immigration when it comes to talking about o'bannon the way he's leading in hungary what must be remembered what's important said this hunger in opposition is that civil liberties are really being curtailed or hung gerunds about his wife for kim it was so important that this report was discussed and tabled and now voted on here in strasbourg so it's very serious for hungary

hungary said that it would use its veto in favor of poland if it ever came to poland having its e.u. voting rights stripped away and so just to be clear the natascha four hundred forty more than four hundred forty parliamentarians voted to punish to discipline if you like. a long drawn out process isn't it i mean we're not likely to see hungary getting to the point of having its voting rights stripped away any time soon. i. know will be a long process months maybe years and again if you look at the example of poland that had article seven triggered against states back in december it was given a few months of formal warning but we're still. a stage where we're far from any vote on poland having its. rights stripped away as the voting rights stripped away as it could be a long process but it doesn't the way this is we're in the he's a very good for this doesn't always send a message that you can't just get away with anything you can't take you funding sign up to the e.u. project yet flouting its values and its principles and i think that message is perhaps even more important than the punishm
