after 6 months of negotiations, right-wing leader geert wilders, whom opponents call the european trumpon thursday announced that he had managed to agree coalition agreement with three other center-right parties. wilders himself will not receive a post in the government, so as not to provoke unnecessary criticism due to his sharply... islamic position in the past, while he stated that the program of the new cabinet includes the maximum tightening of the rules for obtaining asylum in the netherlands and the refusal to provide social housing to migrants priority, reducing taxes on fuel, building new nuclear power plants and easing restrictions on farmers and fishermen, imposed under the pretext environmental concerns. in addition, the right promises to toughen up the fight against street crime and deport those granted asylum if they commit violent crimes. slovak prime minister robert fica was the victim of an assassination attempt and received several bullet wounds. a few minutes earlier, the head of the slovak government left the cultural center in the city of gandlovo, where a governmen

well, after six months of political wrangling right wing dutch politician geert wilders has outlinedtres and in one area in clonmel, reports suggest that multiple fires were started near a 200 year old tree , including the protesters camp. now locals in clonmel say they've convinced builders who are building a huge refugee camp for asylum seekers to down tools and abandon the project. after listening to local concerns as well. joining me now to discuss this is the president of the irish freedom party, herman kelly. herman, welcome to the show. always a pleasure. talk us through this story in clonmel. we've seen a huge amount of resistance in ireland in all sorts of ways at these camps. but this is an extraordinary story. fill us in. >> yeah, well , local people, >> yeah, well, local people, when they heard the story , when they heard the story, about, basically a migrant camp or a new migrant city being placed there by the central government, they went and we're talking about ordinary mothers and parents. >> one of our, candid dates, martin murphy, who's from the area, was there , an

reaction in europe to these words is immediate, not on my behalf - says far-right dutch politician geert wilderspean official for expressing solidarity with iran; in germany, even in this situation, they do not stop looking for the russian trace. the welt publication discusses the prospects for further cooperation between iran and russia against the backdrop of the conflict in ukraine and... hezbollah and hamas are the supreme leader, president and foreign minister. and of course, the whole world is closely monitoring the reaction of the united states, where iran is called one of the main opponents of the west, a participant in the so- called axis of evil. we don't want to be. part of this is that if this accident is the result of wind, fog and a risky helicopter flight, tensions are so high that we need to reduce them, there will be rumors about how it happened, and the united states should not be seen making unnecessary statements. american the media are reporting that the death of the iranian president occurred against the backdrop of secret negotiations that washington was conducting with te

geert wilders, as far as i can see, has come into power on the back of the anger of the dutch farmerson their knees, pretty much, but they're getting together now and there is this extraordinary, hatred of farming of cows. cows have been vilified. cows, for goodness sake . and it's a weird goodness sake. and it's a weird thing that wherever you have these political ecologists, political, environmental analysts, they get rid of trees, they'll get rid of fields and put metal and glass. you know that are you'll have this sort of solar panels, but they seem to hate places where you've got, you know, the usual sort of bucolic scene that we've grown up with, with nice sheep and cows, which is why it seems absolutely obvious to me that whether to be a leader , who whether to be a leader, who would these people are waiting ? would these people are waiting? >> yeah. the people that understand all of this, the oppressed , hate the landscape, oppressed, hate the landscape, know how to care for it, that know how to care for it, that know how to build and make infects. >> they just need one person

so geert wilders, who's, you know , quite an who's, you know, quite an anti—islamist politician, he gote got a huge amount of support from metropolitan areas where there are and from the lgbtq community, because they can see that their rights are threatened by the growth of, of islam in the netherlands . so, yeah, it's the netherlands. so, yeah, it's interesting. and also the green lobby , i wonder if they're going lobby, i wonder if they're going to start questioning , you know, to start questioning, you know, some of the, some of their policies around because at the moment they say they've got an open borders policy, but then if somebody comes from, say, the from the congo to the uk, their carbon footprint increases exponentially. we're talking like, you know, over 100 times. so it's clearly bad for carbon emissions. >> if we have open borders and now is the time to see that we're in a state of war. i said this two years ago, we're a state of war. and what what are people fighting over? who's the who is? i don't know what the right word is. the gayest. do you support? do you support l

geert wilders, who topped the poll, will not be the prime minister.. but it's taken them six months to get to this position . and i remember in 2010 position. and i remember in 2010 when it took about 5 or 6 days to form the coalition, most british press thought it was the end of the world. sometimes life operates quite well without any government at all. in a moment, talking pints and my guest. well, he's a face you'll recognise . a voice you've heard. recognise. a voice you've heard. he's been around british television for absolutely decades, always with a joke , decades, always with a joke, always with a smile. in a moment, roy walker joins me on talking pints catchphrase was an enormous television show. and, of course, its host. the man that dominated the whole thing. before i introduce him on talking pints let's have a look at a clip of him in. talking pints let's have a look at a clip of him in . action. at a clip of him in. action. >> let's see what you see. and you're about to see mr catchphrase himself. >> roy walker . very much . >> roy walk

anti—immigration geert wilders stormed to victory in the dutch elections six months ago, but has onlyst been allowed to get agreement from other parties to form a government. he was elected by the people, but the establishment did everything they could to keep him from power. meanwhile, polls across europe show that on average, seven out of ten europeans believe that their country takes in too many migrants. surely a demographic democratic society would listen to the public rather than remove their ability to express themselves at the ballot box. and the truth can never be illegal. if it is, we're back in the world of blasphemy laws, where galileo was put under arrest and threatened with torture because he revealed the truth that the earth wasn't the centre of the universe. the earth goes around the sun, and our left wing establishment needs to learn that democracy doesn't revolve around them. voters are at the centre . i am joined tonight by centre. i am joined tonight by the fantastic comedian sigal kirsch, susie kennedy and nicholas de santo. now, nicholas, you're italian. we're se

barely three years since his election, geert wilders has formed a tentative coalition. >> yeah.ilders and they say far right. of course, because it's the guardian, agrees. deal for dutch coalition government. this is the, pleasure of a of coalition politics. you have for parties that have finally come together after six months. he will not be the prime minister. we thought we knew that was going to happen. he would just be sitting in their house of parliament or their equivalent with a high range, high velocity rifle. well, this is it. i mean, he has supposedly taken away a couple of the policies that people were particularly upset about, and, we'll have to see if it works. the thing is, it's, coalition politics is difficult when it's just like normal politics. there's winners and losers. and we saw from the conservatives and the lib dems, who were obviously the losers of that equation, that we'll see if that's going to play out the biggest i mean, it's you're absolutely right. >> it's very interesting how coalition governments get formed on the continent. and we should pay on t

because because in the netherlands, we also saw this week and i'm sure you're on top of all of this, geert wildersition and he's come out very , very strongly on what out very, very strongly on what he wants to see. he wants to come out of all the eu migration pacts. he wants to completely change the asylum policy. he wants to deport people as they arrive, do you see there being a huge battle between the netherlands and also eurosceptics in france as well, over migration? how do you see that panning out? >> yes. you know, the problem the european peoples will face, on june the 9th, for the vote is a civilisation issue because you know, all what is related to economic issue and social issue. those issue can be solved by a strategy, fiscal strategy , strategy, fiscal strategy, budgetary strategy in three, four, five years. but the identity of a country , when it identity of a country, when it is lost, it is lost forever. identity of a country, when it is lost, it is lost forever . and is lost, it is lost forever. and i'm talking to you as an egyptian native coptic orthodox, which has this his ancest
