freedom party. melinda: sebastian kurz, as other guests have mentioned, took his party distinctly to the right with rhetoric that in some cases echoed what we have heard from the right-wing populists, the freedom party, but it is puzzling -- why were austrians suddenly susceptible to this message? this is a country that is near full, has employment and stood firmly at the side of angela merkel as one -- opene's most opening and welcoming country stirring the wave of migration. what is happening? i think austrians always had a strong right-wing movement. in that way, it is not as radical a change as you might think. you have feet of issues that are really burning that people care about, and it's all about security. borders thatabout were suddenly opened that should be closed, that should be controlled, and the other issue that is more important is social security. has fulle that austria employment, more or less, but many people have the feeling that you have full employment, but wages are not really rising. you have a country with high iswth, but hardly anything reaching the employees. i think that i

remind us how close he is politically to the far right freedom party. sebastian's borders. during this campaign he's taken a ha rd during this campaign he's taken a hard line on immigration, so hard the far right freedom party have accused him of stealing their ideas. that right wing tone he's taken, he for example would like to reduce payments to migrants, he would like to see the eu holding, detaining asylu m to see the eu holding, detaining asylum seekers in camps outside the eu's borders. those kind of hard lines have won in support amongst the electorate and i think that gives an indication of how the mood has changed in austria. if sebastian kurz decides to form a coalition with the far right party, it won't be the first time. they have done it before, edging towards 20 years ago. when the coalition was announced in 2000 eu member states took out diplomatic sanctions against austria, there was shock and horror across europe. now no one is really batting an eyelid. jenny hill, thank you. i cannot go into politics now, i would be that ageing veteran. i feel s

suggest a strong showing for the anti immigration freedom party where the country's foreign minister and leader of the centrist people's party sebastian kurtz is widely expected to win the race the possibility nonetheless of a coalition with the far right has divided the country. yes the freedom party is a through and through fascist party and should not be in parliament and of course not part of the government it is important that we are raising our voice against a shift to the right i would wish we can leave peacefully together here in austria even with the migrants and of course the political parties need to work more closely together so that it's not a question of. the reason is that the multinational companies. so let's look at those figures while no party has a majority of poles or just the center right people's party does have the lead and if sebastian kurtz becomes austria's next to he says he wants to end the traditional power sharing with the social democrats instead seeking a coalition with any other party including the far right which he shares a strong anti immigration platform with the latest results in austria not only.

support for the far right freedom party soared. but then sebastianight. he took a lot of thunder from the freedom party. so he imitated their content, their issues, made them his issues and in that he profited a lot from the situation. the freedom party has accused mr kurz of stealing its policies. but many believe it could choose to go into a coalition government with the conservatives. austria's current chancellor, christian kern of the social democrats, is hoping there'll be a last—minute surge in support. austria could be on the verge of a political change. the next coalition government could include a far right eurosceptic party that has campaigned strongly against too many muslims in austria and too many migrants. that could cause a problem for the eu. bethany bell, bbc news, vienna. that's it from me. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 5:50pm. bye for now. this is bbc news. let's return to harvey weinstein who has been kicked out of the academy that runs the oscars. in a statement

to the right, with the antiestablishment, anti—immigration party, and what sebastian kurz is looking at is to form a coalition with the freedom is a real worry because they are in far right party. yes, they are in far right party. yes, they are in far right party. yes, they are an anti— islam party. they are talking about fascism is long, and muslim symbols. it is worrying. definitely a rise in these parties. it will be interesting to see with the coalition how it is formed and the coalition how it is formed and the kind of weight is given to the freedom party. i mean, very similar campaign and the extra what donald trump did. austria first for example, trump, america first, and appealing to those instincts in a very populist way. too much migration. absolutely, there has been a real focus on the country, who you are and what we should be doing andi who you are and what we should be doing and i think the problem is it that the president for elections going forward at how the world response to this. this talk about this harvey weinstein story, there are many, many pictures of many famous, beautiful actresses, we all know many

of course i would prefer it if the coalition partner were not the freedom party my argument is that the more vote getters the sebastian kurtz list the less we'll see of the freedom party in the new government is in the next. martin angle bag looks likely to soon be a member of parliament along with the austrian people's party's young beacon of hope. many people immigrate to britain with dreams of opportunity and a new life unfortunately there are also those who wish to take advantage of the most vulnerable of both migrants and even people native to the country britain's national crime agency estimates that over ten thousand people are living as modern day slaves all reporter met a young woman promised work as an opener who left her home in the philippines only for her dream job to turn into a nightmare. coming to britain was one slices dream she left her home in the philippines expecting to find a new life of freedom and prosperity a filipino and her english i was going to range her visa in exchange lies i would care for their children. but the dream job became a nightmare lies i had to work seven days a week for two

much so that we have seen the austria people's party under sebastian coats adjust its agenda to try and be more white so as to take votes away from the freedom party the freedom party has accused it of actually stealing some of its policies. but nobody is coming into the country without registration without a passport no one should be allowed to enter austria. we will do everything possible to stop illegal immigration i am asking that social benefits for non austrians be significantly reduced. will do everything we can to end the abuse of our social welfare system by immigrants. now some of the reasons for the swing to the right are a high level of unemployment lack of economic growth and at the same time fears of immigration so all of that has played into the first exit polls that as i say are actually in line with the predictions prior to these elections. ok thanks paula that was poor slayer live for us there in vienna while the media has dubbed the austrian election campaign is one of the seen acting chancellor christian kern accused of using facebook to discredit opposition leader sebastian kurtz calling him a xenophobe the pages were al
