expect that, we're extremely grateful to the voters , i will also add that small supporters of geert wildersll as right-wing parties, received three more additional seats in the european parliament, according to... the results of these exit polls from the netherlands are considered as a kind of barometer throughout the european union, it is assumed that that the far right can win big victories in both france and italy, and take second place in germany. at the last election rally of the united democrats in the republic of germany, the prime minister of bavaria, markus söder, called for voting for the traditional forces so that ... in brussels after these elections, the media again write that estonian prime minister kaja kallas is a priority candidate for the position of head of foreign diplomacy of the european union. her competitors are the current prime minister of belgium and the head of the polish foreign ministry. in the baltics, the election race is in many ways. are built around the rhetoric of military threats, the day before all political forces in lithuania announced that they suppo

party, they once united in a coalition, both the greens and the left, and they have eight seats, geert wildersparty only seven, and the centrists only have four seats, which is also not very good for them, this is a party that has been at the center of, i would say, the dutch government for many years, and that's it. in fact, a decrease in influence at a time when, by and large, we can say that a representative of the centrist dutch marclut can become the new secretary general of nato soon, so let's look at spain, the people's alliance, which by a large margin won the recent elections to the spanish parliament, it also won the elections to the european parliament, 22 seats, but it's 32%, but it's not a very big margin. from the spanish socialist workers' party, whose leader pedro sanchet retained the post of prime minister, remaining in second place in the national elections, with the support of left-wing parties and regional parties, by and large... the left has more than just these seats of the spanish socialists, but also the seats of the sumar coalition, which has four seats in parliament

in the netherlands, the ultra-right party. freedom of geert wilders took second place.wilders is opposed to military aid to ukraine, against joining the eu and nato, and last year his party won the parliamentary elections in ukraine, but softens his rhetoric. this is what a bbc correspondent in the hague says about it. building on what mark lowen was talking about, how george maloney grew as a politician and moved from far-right views to the political center, same with geert wilders. he earned the nickname gert milders. gert, because he refused to part of his more radical appeals, which have in the past brought him notoriety in dutch politics, and this partly explains how he rose to prominence. in the last couple of years, gertwilder has abandoned such things as the proposal for a referendum on the future of the netherlands in europe, the nexit, as it is called here. he has partially abandoned anti-islam policies, but has retained some of the anti-immigration measures he wants to introduce to strengthen borders, similar to what we have seen across europe. but on the oth

nationalities live, shock waves across the continent were launched by the victory of the ultra-rightist geert wilderstions in the netherlands, especially since by mid-may he managed to form. "we will make sure that the netherlands will be a dutch country again, we will stop the tsunami of refugees and migrants, people will have money in their wallets again. right-wing politicians who put immigration issues at the center of their companies is on the rise everywhere. a major study conducted at the beginning of the year throughout the european union predicted the victory of right-wing parties in 9 of the 27 countries of the alliance, including france and austria. land. party leader tom van grieken is actively playing the card that belgium is overcrowded and demands to stop accepting refugees into the kingdom. migration, more purchasing power. these are the priorities for the flames in this election. bela, we talk about this during meetings in markets, visits to houses and, of course, on social networks. every week there are new videos of cruelty, crimes, rapes, like in the city of kortra, a gang rape, w

nationalities, shock waves across the continent were launched by the victory of the ultra-right geert wildersparliamentary elections. there are other topics on which they play: energy prices, which have become unaffordable, inflation, the economy is not very good right now, especially in eastern germany. already 5 years ago, in 2019, the far-right islam gained about 20% even in villages and villages, now the smallest settlements are literally filled with these blue and white banners with the slogans, first our people or let's take back our land. party leader tom van grieken is actively playing the card that belgium is overcrowded and demands to stop accepting refugees into the kingdom. less migration means more purchasing power. these are the priorities for this election for flams-belam. we talk about this during meetings in markets, visits, homes, and of course on social networks. every week there are new videos of cruelty, crime, rape, like in the city of cortry, gang rape, where it seems 10 people from north africa attacked a girl, terrible, everyone around is silent, silent because they d

european parliament, his far-right party will receive about seven seats, exit polls say, while geert wildersot stop his campaign, the day before he came here to belgium to support his colleague vangrikin. like the dutch voters 6 months ago, you were fed up with it all , you want your country back, there has been enough crime under the left, enough migration, impunity, waste of money, cloudy nonsense, destruction and occupation of our universities by pro-palestinian activists, enough of this, you only have one party that lives among people and not in ivory towers, and that is our friends. party of flemish interest. the impressive support of right-wing parties for each other throughout the european union may result in the formation of as many as three factions in the european parliament, especially since the rise of right-wing forces is expected, including today, based on the results of voting in germany, france, italy, in a number of other eu countries, in general complexity, nine eu countries can get a right-wing leader, and more nine countries could get a second seat from a right-wing party

, a man who italy, geert wilders, a man who was once blocked from entering the uk, now holds the keysn the netherlands. in them, two most powerful eu countries, two france and germany, both national rally and alternative for deutschland , are alternative for deutschland, are set to gain around gain ground at the next national elections. two this is also not just the case in european politics. the now convicted felon donald trump is set to win the us presidential election if the polls are borne out to be true. he continues to lead across national polls. yet what a contrast can be seen in british politics. if you take a look at the six leaders who appeared on the six leaders who appeared on the stage at last week's bbc debate , the political compass debate, the political compass was quite revealing. of the six, four were on the left in one form or another , one being penny form or another, one being penny mordaunt was a moderate conservative and nigel farage. well, he's probably the only one who could reasonably being described as being on the traditional right wing in terms of reforms.

geert wilders in the netherlands taking seven seats. marine le pen, a record 32% in france.rmany coming second. that is one story tonight, but already this election has provided us with extraordinary news in france, where emmanuel macron, who sank to i6% of the vote, calling a snap election in the last week ofjune and the first week ofjuly. it is an enormous gamble on the back of a pretty humiliating defeat tonight in the european parliamentary elections. you can see behind me, we are about to get the latest projection, and here it is. you can see the epp, the biggest in the european parliament, is up from 176 seats to 189. big losers on the the greens, 72 all the way down to 52. on the right—hand side that chart, the european conservatives and reformists, up conservatives and reformists, up from 69, and identity and democracy, up from 49 to 58. those are the two groupings that include the populists and the hard right. there seems to be some confusion from the figures they have put up, and she did say they would continue to check the results and they will be refined through

we have already seen in the netherlands will take place, although the leader of the far-right geert wildersve up the position of prime minister to form a ruling a coalition in which his party could be such. i would say serious, but one way or another we can say that this story will be quite serious for the future of those european elections that can now be seen in the coming months, well, of course, the european parliament itself will change, but now we'll talk about it in detail... we'll talk literally in a minute, your place is waiting for you, the light stays on, for dinner - what you love. a warm bed is made, there will be walks, swings and swimming, they are waiting for you on your streets. at school, in your church, because in your house they dream about you, you are always in front of their eyes, they cry for you, they pray for you, we did not give up, because we knew that you were already somewhere nearby. half the battle is knowing how hard it is to win, and we will do everything to make it faster to hug you, so when you're home, when we're together, we're more than a family, we're

polls suggesting a tight race between a left—green alliance and the party of anti—islam populist geert wildersile voting in most eu countries happens over a single day the czechs get two days to vote. people in other eu member countries will vote over the weekend, with far—right parties eyeing victory in france, belgium, austria and italy. across europe, nearly two million more teenagers can vote for the first time, after some eu countries changed the law to allow 16— and i7—year—olds to take part. these belgian teenagers explain why the eu elections matter to them. it's a very big opportunity for us. and i really like it, because it gives us a voice that we never had before. europe needs to be stronger because we can't always trust nato. the tension is really getting - real and my history teacher now is really saying that it wouldn't surprise me| if something would . happen in the future. so that really scares me. opinion polls suggest younger voters have helped the far—right make significant gains. these young farmers now say the eu isn't listening to them and that immigration continues to b

their own government after elections last november, which saw the anti—immigration politician geert wilderst votes. climate has been one of the most divisive issues with the country under pressure to reduce its carbon footprint. anna holligan has been speaking to young people on both sides of the heated debate. every farmer is a bit crazy because they work the whole week, day in, day out. this man is a fourth—generation dairy farmer. it's a kind of a hobby, a way of life. and, yes, the love for this. home to 3.7 million cows — approximately one for every four voters — a dense population, global shipping and aviation hubs, the netherlands is one of europe's biggest emitters of harmful nitrogen, a potent greenhouse gas. with the desire to hit its 2030 climate goals, the dutch government proposed a number of measures designed to make farming more sustainable. but many farmers felt scapegoated. it's always about the farmers, so every time we had a problem and we had to reduce with nitrogen or carbon or whatever, it's always focused on the farms. and in the summer of 2022, protests ignited, thou

same will happen a phenomenon we have already seen in the netherlands, although far-right leader geert wilders had to give up his position as prime minister in order to form a governing coalition in which his party could be so... i would say serious, but somehow we can to say that this story will be quite serious for the future of the european elections that can be seen in the coming months, and of course the european parliament itself will change, but we will talk about it in detail now. literally in a minute, what is bahmud? bahmud is a place of fear and a place of courage. no matter what anyone says, bravery is not the absence of fear. bahmud is the adventure that will stay with us until the end. era of independence, who are they? there are many of them, and they are strong and brave, they are the guardians of the traditions and martial arts of their ancestors, they are the boys who never cry. lemberk, mom, don't cry, a book by the writer olena cherninka, a book by a mother about her son, a hero who was one of the first to volunteer to defend ukraine and disappeared. missing in the vast exp

we have already seen in the netherlands will take place, although the leader of the far right, geert wildersrefuse position of prime minister in order to form a ruling coalition in which his party could be so, i would say serious. but one way or another, we can say that this story will be quite serious for the future of those european elections, which can now be seen in the coming months, and of course, the european parliament itself will change, but we will now talk about it in detail literally in... minutes great return of great lviv, conversations, discussions, search for solutions, ukraine's largest conversational format in the evening prime. in general, i believe that we need... two things, money and weapons. we did not start this war, but we must finish it and we must win. all the most important things are said every thursday at 21:15 in the project by velikiy lviv on the espresso tv channel. hello, how are you there? it's normal, slowly. so we got nine new tanks. guess? now turn on the video link, i 'll give you a tour.

dutch nationalist leader geert wilders failed to secure a seat in the last eu elections in 2019.n in november was polling well ahead of today's vote. really interesting just listening to him there talk about the importance of these elections. this is a man who once campaigned for a dutch referendum on the netherlands inside the eu. yet now, he is one of the most vocal campaigners during the pre—election process. we saw him casting his vote here in the hague this morning. it is all eyes on his freedom party on the radical right and the green labour alliance on the left. this is a trend that we are expecting to see reflected right across the continent. this is one way to get people to come out and vote. but the polling stations inside of beautiful locations. this is the art museum in the hague. i been speaking to people going in and out and actually, interestingly, they have been talking about international instability in terms of the importance they see in casting their ballot. the worse in ukraine, gaza and the need, they've been telling me, for a stronger eu. 0n the other side,

we have already seen in the netherlands will take place, although the leader of the far right, geert wildersup the position of prime minister in order to form a ruling coalition in which his party could be, be like that, i would say serious, but one way or another we can say that this story will be... quite serious for the future of those european elections that can be seen now in the coming months, and of course the european parliament itself will change, but we are now about we will talk about all this in detail in just a minute. greetings, this is svoboda live on radio svoboda. we have already come to the snake itself. the following shots may shock you. news from the scene. live kamikaze drone attacks. political analytics. objectively and meaningfully. there is no political season. exclusive interviews, reports from the hottest points of the front. shot. the freedom of life is frank and unrestrained. you draw your own conclusions. big ether. vasyl zyma. two hours of airtime, two hours of your time. two hours to learn about the war, and how does the world live? two hours to keep up with ec

softened and the most radical slogans are discarded. prime examples include george meloni in italy or geert wilderse netherlands. miloni today is perceived as perhaps one of the main supporters fonderline. wilders, who had just formed a governing coalition in the netherlands, has greatly softened his position. if earlier he advocated establishing ties with russia, leaving the eu and abandoning the euro, now he is aimed at greater sovereignty, reducing migration and the absence of hysteria. climate and nitrogen regulations. we go into elections with the understanding that people are fed up with the system so things have to change, but i don't think mr wilders' vision is correct. i always say that each party has something of its own, but where is their heart, where is the connection with people, with the world and with the european union. they understand that there is no connection with the world in brussels, and therefore the elites are actively looking for scapegoats for the impending failure, some blame the extreme right. in political violence and others are inflating the topic of russian interfer

vivid examples include george miloni in italy or geert wilders in the netherlands.is perceived as one of the main supporters of fonderline. wilders, who had just formed the ruling coalition in the netherlands. has greatly smoothed out his positions, if previously he advocated establishing ties with russia, leaving the eu and abandoning the euro, now he is aimed at greater sovereignty, reducing migration and the absence of truth. rightists in political violence and others are inflating the topic of russian interference, the elections to the european parliament, of course, are dirty, they do not correspond to the principles that the same european parliament has so much declared, and we remember how many times these or those countries were criticized for allegedly being undemocratic and not meeting high standards, but look what? what is happening now on the eve of the elections to the european parliament, political repressions, searches, information campaigns, they have once again turned on the “spy mania” button, apparently, from their point of view, it works flawless

i'm thinking about geert wilders. i'm thinking about giorgia meloni. those sorts of candidates . candidates. >> well, if i compare them with some of the people who are trying to be elected to the parliament here, like nigel farage, for example, yes, i would rather be associated with the people in europe. i mean, the people in europe. i mean, the to me, if you think about it calmly , the suggestion that we calmly, the suggestion that we have responsible for mr putin, the interesting thing is that mr putin uses exactly the same argument agent to justify his war as nigel farage uses in to order leave europe. get our country back, is the phrase. but in putin's language it's recreate mother, your mother , recreate mother, your mother, russia, the great imperial russia. and it's exactly the same approach to basic instincts. and it's a thoroughly immoral , thoroughly distasteful immoral, thoroughly distasteful and very dangerous. and it's happening across the world. another one of mr farage's allies, trump . now trump is allies, trump. now trump is threatenin

pen in france, alternative for germany , the austrian for germany, the austrian freedom party, geert wildersou know, top the netherlands, you know, top the netherlands, you know, top the polls at these elections. and that's going to pile pressure on the european union, not to , just slash immigration not to, just slash immigration and strengthen the borders, but also send more of those powers down to the nation states rather than keep hoarding power at the centre . so my last point here centre. so my last point here is, we've been told ever since brexit that britain is the country that is struggling with populism and is struggling with chaos. well, actually, michel , chaos. well, actually, michel, looks like the european union is too, and should we be terrified about this? >> because that's what some people are suggesting today. apparently it's a huge warning bell going off, that we all need to heed some of these parties aren't particularly nice, and some of the people in these parties , as we've seen in the parties, as we've seen in the case of germany, where one of the politicians there ha

netherlands, the freedom party, led by a fierce opponent of arms supplies to kiev, nationalist geert wilderseve that despite the growth of right-wing sentiment in europe, brussels’ general course towards russia will not change. this is explained by the fact that the majority of new european deputies will not be able to ignore the general line of the european union and will be forced to support further funding for kiev, and the anti-ukrainian position of some right-wing politicians will not help them form a common coalition due to disagreements on other issues. i think the political right is divided. which marina lepen gave and she was asked quite harshly about the possibility of uniting with meloni, if they united, there would be a powerful faction, but marina lepen says: yes, our views are close on the issue of immigration, but in relation to ursula vonlein categorically we disagree, i believe that ursula von derlein is the key to troubles modern europe went on to list the points on which she has complaints, and mrs. miloni. europe, who adequately represent russia, and do not believe that i

the exit polls show big gains for geert wilders party.neral election. that's a plot twist straight out of a soap opera except at 4 p.m. today it could be true is holy vallen. for the reform party . we will have the reform party. we will have the inside line on that. and, of course, tonight, looking ahead to the tv debate last time there were only two of them. you couldn't get a word in tonight. there's seven they might need a megaphone or a stun gun . my megaphone or a stun gun. my goodness. imagine that it would certainly add some, uh, beauty to the contest . no offence to to the contest. no offence to nigel. goodness me, uh wow . to the contest. no offence to nigel. goodness me, uh wow. 11! i i'm still trying to process just about everything you said martin absolutely packed. show looking forward to it. see you at three. no crisis on that show e got it. he's got it sorted. now it's 243 and divers have joined the search for tv doctor michael moseley after he went missing on the greek island of simi. yes, police and firefighters have been

geert wilders in the netherlands, le pen in france, their appealing to younger voters, which goes against, george, in very clever ways, tell gb news viewers about why younger people are swinging towards the right, what policies are being dangled their way that are being dangled their way that are making them swing, so as i mentioned, migration is one of the key topics for a lot of people in europe. and people nofice people in europe. and people notice how migration also has an impact on housing and on all other issues , as if you can't other issues, as if you can't get a good mortgage rate if you if you can't find a house so easily, it is perhaps because the population is everywhere, are going up and up. so people have connected these dots and started speaking about it. that's why a lot of the european right wing parties, they came up with policies that wouldn't be typical free market capitalist policies . they would be policies policies. they would be policies to help younger people to find their own , their first flats, to their own, their first flats, to sort of get onto the market. the

you've got geert wilders in the netherlands , you've got in the netherlands, you've got the afd in germany. you know, this seems to be this very important shift towards populism, towards the right and yet you've got the labour party, a left wing party here in britain who seem to want to have closer ties. >> i mean, they're denying it's in the manifesto. >> i read it in black and white, or i should say white and red, in that manifesto, you know, no rejoining the eu, no rejoining the single market, no rejoining the single market, no rejoining the customs union. but at the same time, one gets the impression that there will be huge pressure on starmer if he does win power and the keys to number 10 from different elements of his party. david lammy has spoken quite openly about his desire to realign rachel reeves , talking rachel reeves, talking economically in a kind of very eu friendly way , talking about eu friendly way, talking about chemical deals and breaking down barriers. we've had other talk about breaking down trade barriers and resetting the relationship. they're not going as far as e

position, giorgia meloni's party in italy also secured significant, significant victories, and also geert wildersseats as well. a significant victory for right wing parties in europe coming at the cost not only of the centre and the centre left, but also the greens , who took but also the greens, who took a particularly large tumble in germany . germany. >> yeah, the greens were the biggest losers. the right, the biggest losers. the right, the biggest winners are deep reset. and now, astonishingly, charlie peters, a quarter of all meps elected to the eu are anti eu promises to be an extraordinarily interesting term when they kick off in july. thank you very much for joining us. there's lots more still to come between now and 4:00. and i'll talk about prince william. he's been with the england squad today ahead of euro 2024, which starts on friday. but first it's your news headlines with sophia wenzler. >> good afternoon. it's 330. >> good afternoon. it's 330. >> i'm sophia wenzler in the gb newsroom. two boys have become the youngest convicted murderers in britain since robert thompson and john v

and in particular the exit polls , um, appear to be showing polls, um, appear to be showing that geert wildersrsus one in 2019 . that's seats versus one in 2019. that's again of plus sex and an extraordinary thing i saw rob the one we looked at the top concerns amongst voters as they were leaving the polls in the netherlands. they painted a very , very interesting picture . rob, , very interesting picture. rob, tell us what were dutch voters most motivated by oh, they just still, uh, a professional result . it may still change until the final result will be announced on sunday evening in order not to influence voting behaviour in the other member states . the the other member states. the final results will be announced on on sunday evening . final results will be announced on on sunday evening. uh so it it's still can change. uh, p pv is now indeed on seven, but it can be six. unfortunately and the socialists the green party is at nine, but they can they can gain one seat and go to when they they are now on a but they can go to nine. but still , um, can go to nine. but still, um, it is a big w

the first time in austria, their right wing party, top of the polls, their significant gains for geert wildersarty in spain polling around 10. so a surge for right wing parties in europe coming at the expense of the greens and it looks as though macron could be the first significant pro—eu centrist continental leader to really face punishment from those effects. do you think this this marks the a turning point for the unity of the european union? >> because some people are saying actually, that the european union is under threat. >> the unity of the european union will be under threat if the unity of the right can be achieved, because there are so many splintered groups on the continent and the voting system is different to ours , that can is different to ours, that can work out in their favour in many ways. but there are issues now, particularly in france, about whether or not there is a chance to unite the right, as they say, this national rally party pulling it 32% levels not seen since the second world war and a corner has been turned in france . in the perspective on the national rally fo

geert wilders in the netherlands taking seven seats this time around.te. the afd in germany coming second to the cdu, csu there in germany. but already this election has provided us with some extraordinary news from france where emmanuel macron, whose party slumped to 15% of the vote, called a snap election, parliamentary elections coming last week injune and first week ofjuly. that is an enormous gamble on the back of a pretty humiliating defeat in the european parliamentary elections. so the impact of that shift to the right is still to be worked out i would think in the coming months as the parties arrange themselves in the various groupings. no question what the story is here, the shift to the right, and a very big backward step for the greens and the centrists. an inquest into the death of the teenager harry dunn is due to begin later. the 19—year—old was killed in a collision outside an american military base at raf croughton five years ago. us citizen anne sacoolas was given a suspended prison sentence after pleading guilty to criminal charges. t
