in germany there is no guarantee that we are not heading towards the same developments as in france austria or hungary thank you all for being here today on a special edition of quadriga but to begin with you if i might's your oppose voted without a little bit of time now to digest the outcome what for you is the big story for me the big story is that the european vote is really. where a lot more interested in this election than in the previous ones as shown by this. voter turnout. i believe that was we had the highest turnout in 20 years in europe and they say it's also true in france as well where i paid more attention to the results in france has this been said that this this high turnout was completely unexpected what would you put it down to. in. well the fact is probably different from country to country actually in france say well they there was definitely the there the campaign and the election had a very very high domestic flavor. and there was this. quite of there was a strong a mobilization of voters due to. the one hand so unlike on the pro european side like the rejection of po

populist gaining support in many many countries of the you right now from the netherlands france germany austriaungary italy you name it they are everywhere and it shows that the division is really growing and this is the fight between baby and all but is actually the symbol for a split in the. ride to bend to get in brussels thank you very much for that. now europe and often germany is a destination for many migrants and refugees but how those who made it here doing germany's council on integration migration assist released its latest report there was a surge in asylum applications in two thousand and fifteen and sixteen with more than seven hundred thousand applications in two thousand and sixteen and the number started following the following as you can see from this graph this good news by those who made it a third of all adult migrants and refugees arrived in two thousand and fifteen got city jobs within three years that's certainly good news let me now draw enough political correspondent hans grant who is standing by at up alimentary studios in but. let's first get some context to this wha

you will find this in italy, in france, in austria and with us.on about it. the signs talk about saving the homeland. that may be the aim. but by doing so, they could transform the european union. victory in the election would be a start. tim allman, bbc news. we will be at that rally as part of the coverage on bbc news, is there with us. will europe go dutch and hand the netherlands their first eurovision victory in 44 years? all eyes are on this weekend's song contest in tel aviv. this morning an indian airforce the plane carrying mr gandhi's body landed in delhi. the president of india walked to the plane to solemnly witness mr gandhi's final return from the political battlefield. ireland has voted overwhelmingly in favour of gay marriage. in doing so it has become the first country in the world to approve the change in a national referendum. it was a remarkable climax to what was surely the most extraordinary funeral ever given to a pop singer. it has been a peaceful funeral demonstration so far but suddenly the police are tear gassing the cro

green parties are winning in several other european countries as well are doing quite well austria arlan france that means we're going to see a bigger bloc of seats in the next to you parliament for the greens that gives them more bargaining power with those big parties shrinking they will be required to do more deals with parties like the greens in future and again that can put some dynamism in climate policy really interesting take away is there and really showing the shifting political landscape as you said melinda if it's a message to the traditional parties we also have to say it's a message to chancellor angela merkel's conservatives they got around. 8 point and they had gotten the last time a little bit less than they had hoped for. party head on and got come out with speaking a little bit earlier let's listen to what she had to say about their results these are valid this election result is not the result we as a policy of the people expect of ourselves. we will meet next weekend and analyze the results and now tonight we completely say that there are several reasons that lead to these

in italy, in france, in austria, in germany and hung gaary and t uk. all of them are supported by russia in one way or another for all or most of them the feeling is also mutual. they also support russia. here's a picture of the head of the league party in italy sitting in the european parliament wearing a vladimir putin t-shirt. the creepy american factor in all of this is that all of these far right anti-immigrant, anti-europe parties that are poised to destroy the european union from within, they are not only supported by russia and supportive of russia, they are also being buoyed and to a greater or lesser extent all being advised by steve bannon, who moved his operation to europe after what he did here for us in 2016. so sometimes i think it helps us as americans understand our own situation to take a broader lens on this stuff, right? we are still muddling our way through our own situation every day. i'm going to talk with the chairman of the judiciary committee in just a minute about the latest fights to try to pry loose information and document

austria took place and. since then it's the us france that she offered by calling it the biggest newspaper in austria. getting into business motorway buildings and he offered in return donations to his party not on the party things but it's true and it is like to do political actions committees or. foundations that shouldn't be covered up even if they would have to be weak some simply like trying to solve the $2000000.00 euros now this video just coming out what sort of reactions are you saying. most formerly already announced is their chance to cool it they're going to. be to announce his measurement tomorrow morning a lot of people already are using that kind of attention and you want to do you know have to step down the vice chancellor and ends a rip off the freedom the in parliament those are known as friends of russia because in 2015 he did kind of a treaty with russia put into party unity and so is the nexus to russia was always existing and if sayings i'm going in a direction that is proved to be right try to denies every saying he only says yes he met this lady and he talked to her but he didn

there your behind is young eloquent and well connected he's linked up with populists from austria france and the netherlands. this is a party with a strong personality cult. these personal ties bode well for the new alliance. what i was. going to dodge a gritty yes we appreciate german thoroughness. marcos always does it well the voters important you can ask each other questions you always have to see if you can reach a compromise. used to be in the conservative c.s.u. but now he's got a career with the f.t. he too will probably soon be a member of the e.u. parliament his contacts are useful for the f.t. especially since the right wing alliance has come across some sticking points the italians debt policy for example annoys the head of the f.t. . if i think about fiscal and monetary policy i can imagine that those very areas where we're doing well with migration policy will prove problematic for our monetary policies of the. political scientist susie denison says such contradictions are currently still largely hidden by the election campaign she works for pro e.u. think tank and warns th

hunting at this moment where we are talking head all over europe i must say some german a some in austria in france for example as well or or elsewhere and these people no doubt they are hiding i know one particular case where the body especially in the syrian refugees community my quince community they are really waiting people that were that this guy that this person would be. courts and they are people that were part of the opposition movement already before everything started in 2011 and they're very much aware who these people are and some of them even stole them i mean it's fascinating because it's like the the ugliest of rivalries that were taking place before the civil war began have just relocated and are now in europe and it's under the surface it's people can't even meet them and they met them in refugee camps for example they're not many cases but if you. and there's of course if you see your perpetrator being totally destroyed psychologically off to all the trip your mates to europe fleeing assad and fleeing the war then syria does of course a terrible thing him to think about but do w

difficult to predict because people like the tales of any in italy or marine le pen in france will say well that's austria that has nothing to do with us and you know what we'll see we'll see what effect it has but there is no doubt i think that what this video shows is what's at stake for. europe with this rise in populism in addition to a stake in terms of the freedom of the press quite explicitly in that sequence that we just listened to well absolutely and i think this is one of the main reasons that struck the it was vice chancellor in austria there. had to resign right away because people saw that this is just you know completely beyond the pale and you know that in the end another aspect of this is that the paper that we were talking about is not just one of the most popular newspaper zoster it's one of the most read newspapers in the world on a per capita basis that reaches almost half of the austrian population every day and not just that but it already is a right wing paper in r.t. supported the freedom party if you're wondering why would he want to take even more influence over this and it just

of people like bob matteo salvini in italy or marine le pen and france will say well that's austria that has nothing to do with us and you know. it what what what we'll see we'll see what effect it has but i there there is no doubt i think that. what this video shows is what's at stake -- for europe with this rise in populism and a stake in terms of the freedom of the press quite explicicitly about sequence that we just listen too what absolutely and i think this is one of the main reasons that- struck a that those who was vice chancellor in austria there. i had to resign right away because people saw that this is just. completely beyond the pale the end. you know the the and and another aspect of this is that the the the paper we were talking about is not just one of the most popular. newspapers austria it's it's one of the most read the newspapers in the world a per on a per capita basis it reaches almost half of the austrian. population every day and not just that but it already is a right wing paper in already supported the freedom party's been wanting why would he want to take even

if you ask the people in austria people saw in france belgium spain or anywhere they don't want koranic schools they don't want this of course they can practice their religion in the private sphere no problem but i don't want our societies to get in the name of multiculturalism and the islamic community developing which is anti west and that is the problem i think the issue here is that it's targeting specifically the muslim community and i think there is a great sound some statement is ation incrimination of obviously all together in australia i'm not sure that those 10 commandments would actually address anything other than further alienating a community that is actually trying to you know to integrate the best it can and i think that it's leading to debate you know elsewhere this law is not stigmatizing resorting to the silly it's stigmatizing a wrong way of considering islam we have an issue with that with radicalism but it can we not addressing the issue by trying to criminalize the entirety of the muslim community and i think that's the problem because we're talking religious free

partly explained that but we've also had very good relations with france with italy with germany with austria. well if this is developing we are happy with the way it is developing of course it would be better if we had no. political obstacles. in the at the anything that really motivated to prevent us from reaching our full potential of europe. may be on the it will tell you about. the european union countries themselves through their sanctions i lost about 10000000000 euros and this was taking that out of the salaries and of the results of the people working in europe and these are that weren't able they couldn't export to us and i hope that this will be overcome and we will be able to move forward in the future more successfully. because. only a wise. one is because. i think that we have already or were the worst. you know. as good as an idea that. we have certain well for requisite for those sanctions in all crimea. so. we have you know generally i agree with that mentality. those who are saying shouldn't they are you are damaging to all of us. struggle to log but we just read directed ou

consequences on the one hand on the national level like in italy and germany or france for instance voters won't be swayed by scandal in austria particularly because conspiracies theories are already blossoming bought on the other hand strategically what somebody like matusow vini the italian populous leader wanted is sort of to drag the whole european union to the right to sort of entice conservatives mainstream conservatives to get together and band together with the right wing populist and that will not happen because many are now seeing what happens in austria and they say we can never sort of get too close to to them it is really opposing this and it is dangerous politically what some of these people are doing so that dream of jeannie and our there's might not come to fruition but as we've mentioned of course the fresh elections are now set for september but until then the government obviously has to function so how will this scandal affect it. this government will just keep limping on one way or another and the interesting thing is that sebastian cordes who has nominees so quick in reacting to events and sort of sort of

values and not the values of the koran we don't want an excuse if you ask the people in austria but also in france belgium spain or anywhere they don't want quranic schools they don't want this of course they can practice their religion in the private sphere no problem but we don't want our societies to get in in the name of multiculturalism an islamic community developing which is anti west and duct is the problem you know we have had these attacks in paris in nice in brussels in many places in europe it's so who is slum which is the problem behind that's what the people are worried with and this law is not stigmatizing or race or anything this is silly it's stigmatizing a wrong way of considering islam and that's really the problem as i said i. children when. the killing ritual killing some things that are not acceptable in our society etc etc so we need to educate them. catherine i mean what what luke is pointing out there actually in his rhetoric is a fear it's a fundamental fear isn't it that that certain nation will austria's proving to have a fear of islam but actually where is the differen

thanks for watching france twenty four now first came in influence peddling scandal that soul austria's vice chancellor resign and that political crisis has now. leled to alll m ministers fromme far rigight freedom party steppg down from austria's coalitionon governments must seem corny as all the latest. the fallout from the stalker scandal continues on monday afternoon austria's chancellor sebastian courts told reporters in vienna he had decided to fire the country's far right interior minister herbert cackle. i have decided in consultation with the federal presidents to propose the interior ministers firing to the president. herbert kinkel a member of the fbo or freedom party was the organization's secretary general in. twenty seventeen it was at that time that the parties former leader hines case dion's talker met with an alleged russian benefactor in a visa. in a video published over the weekends talker and a party colleagues you hon goodness are seen telling the woman she can expect profitable construction contracts. if she buys an austrian newspaper and supports the if you're. st

we see in poland, uk, medically, germany, france, also seeing it in austria. —— are playing out.rruption scandal forced the resignation of his far—right deputy heinz—christian strache who was caught in a hidden camera sting proposing to offer government contracts to a supposed russian oligarch‘s daughter — and hinting at ways political donations could escape legal scrutiny. he says he will hold a snap election but has lost more ministers from his government also from that far right party, let‘s work out what is going on. let‘s speak to our correspondent bethany bell in vienna. bring us up—to—date, please. that is a shame. i think we can see bethany but she cannot hear us. we have a problem with the connection. ican have a problem with the connection. i can tell you the summary of the story which is several ministers within that coalition government which is a combination of sebastian ku rtz which is a combination of sebastian kurtz centre—right party in the far right freedom party were murdered freedom party ministers have walked out in solidarity with their collea g u es out in

it off and become the strongest party for the european elections in france and then also the aftermath of the video scandal in austria so how will the freedom party that used to be part of the government until last weekend fare there will they lose a lot of points because of the scandal or not so these are interesting questions but overall you still have to expect that the right wing populous will do well and probably be the grouping or the group that will win the most seats compared to the last elections and of course this election is dominating the news in europe right now the for someone watching in the rest of the world what should they take away from this. all right so this is directly for you watching us all over the place not in europe europe is still the biggest market in the world with more than 500000000 people what happens here affects almost every region because the european union is one of the champions of free trade so asia for example where there are new free trade agreements there will be repercussions because the european parliament decides a lot of those things so will europe remain an open society

alternative for germany york more than a said austria's freedom party will remain an important partner despite the revelations he joined other speakers including france's marine le pen and the netherlands have to fill gaps in predicting historic results for nationalist parties in next week's european parliament elections. our correspondent rebecca ritter's attended the gathering in milan earlier i asked her what message the leaders had for the crowd at the rally all are calling for more importance to be placed on national governments they want to bring power back to the national governments they say that brussels has had too much power they are also calling for changes to immigration on these topics and they are you know i said some of the biggest cheers were for francis marine le pen she spoke of. she blamed europe for globalization which he said is led to inequality in europe but really the biggest cheers were reserved from a tired selvi that he came to the stage play with of to it to you know pavarotti is nessun dorma and sort of adding fuel to the argument that somebody is really using a lot of this pan-european policy idea to use to rally for dome

tribute to people, many of them very young, in all of those countries, and also germany, austria, netherlands, franceing communities together and stand up against racism. the young people of europe do not want to live in a continent that is divided by the power of the far right. do we need more powers to challenge racist behaviour? i think we need to look at that, and we probably do. do we need the police to have more powers to be active in dealing with racist language and activities? yes, we do. and also make sure that police have a duty to deal with that kind of hate crime and hate language where it occurs. when you talk to a group of muslim women, as i have recently, about their experiences of life on the streets of this country, it is not good. the abuse they routinely receive on buses, trains, streets and so on, is totally and absolutely unacceptable. and so on, is totally and absolutely u na cce pta ble. let and so on, is totally and absolutely unacceptable. let us during the month of ramadan be proud of the diversity of our society and respect each other‘s faiths, values and ideas. that surely

france's finance minister made a point of saying that other european countries are interested. dalton, poland, austria -- belgium, poland, austria. brent: there are critics that say this is a waste of money. are they right? janelle: it is not about money, we are talking upward of 4 billion euros with an additional 1.2 billion euros if those subsidies are approved. we are talking about a drop in the bucket here. that money could be spent somewhere else. critics are saying why aren't they investing this money in car sharing and logo -- mobility concepts? they're not arguing that this would be bad for europe but that the gains might be bigger elsewhere. brent: that is a good point but when can we expect to see this franco german consortium get charged up? janelle: those subsidies are expected to be green that in october. a factory with 200 employees is meant to be built soon. they're looking to get them out by 2023. brent: thank you. the president to france and italy has begun formal commemorations to mark five years since -- 500 years since the death of leonardo da vinci. this is the french chateau wher

united states was representing along with austria and japan and great britain and france and china.50 was also on display.sp. spectators say it was a blast. >> sometimes you wonder if they're going to go so fast and go straight into the water or they pull up? it is exciting to go fast. >> in the end, team usa came in fourth and austria took first place today. >>> more than 100 volunteers spent part of their day removing trash from the beach? san francisco. abc 7 news met mon month clean up. >> we are working on a special project. everything that's found on the beach that has a brand name on it, we are a database so we can see which brands with refir we are finding out here. >> worldwide, it is not entrust bay area, it is everywhere. we found tons of cigarette budsd here. >> clean uptakes place on the 1st and 3rd sunday every month. >>> a man took one incredible walk in folsom. the record he tries to set using a rope one inch wide to cross the american river. >>> a cooler finish out there. we have a chance of a shower moving through. we'll take a look at the timiin in our forecast. >

the figures that we have seen as so far we haven't seen those gains in places like austria and germany although in france. we have seen marine le pen overtake him and we'll mccrone in the election that they will we're all waiting for now is the results from 2 key countries in very many different ways one italy were of course. is a self appointed leader of that far right movement and definitely wants to shake up the way things are done in the european union so we're expecting those results in about an hour and a half and then of course results are from the united kingdom the country that was in even meant to have these elections but did end up having them and it will be interesting to see how the election results are will be there especially seeing as many of those votes might not stay in british chance if and when the u.k. leaves the european union it would actually be redistributed so would these are all based on projections as so far but certainly in the next hour we should have a much clearer picture of the future of the european parliament indeed we'll be watching these results very closely barbara w
