the coming days during talks between coats funded belen and the freedom parties designated leader norberthoffa. vessel is following the story for us from vienna barbara how are people reacting there to essentially the collapse of the government in snap elections. people think a many people think is worse high time because this government has been plagued by scandal after scandal even before even so i gate as they call it here said of course published and sort of really led to this government crisis now that will then in the end they get new elections in september but people really have seen that suppressing kurds the chancellor who has a high popularity personally has been covering up and again and again talking about the freedom party saying i don't like what they're doing i did what i want them to stop this and this is about extreme right wing connections this is about neo nazi connections and this was sort of like one scandal after the other in austria newspapers and finally it took this last push this even some publication to sort of topple them over the edge but now people really wan

the coming days during talks between coats funded ellen and the freedom party's designated leader norberthoffa. earlier i spoke to our correspondent bob of israel who is on the ground in vienna and i asked her how people there are reacting to the government falling apart and the news of snap elections when we heard the president earlier talk about. people losing trust austrians losing trust in politics in their politicians and political institutions because this is just the end like with the bang office string of scandals that has been plaguing this government and all these scandals came of the source of all these scandals was the right wing populist freedom party so talk there only had during the day when there was a pro europe and a prague democracy demonstration also in vienna i asked some people what they thought about the situation some kind of resistance towards the current administration and the government is clearly completely corrupt and happy trust that we need a new face absolutely it's an absolute disaster just so you know now we have the chance to change it. all for the bette

so they are still trying to sort of talk this scandal down and particularly the new party leader norbert flow for who is the 2 years ago who was a presidential candidate and almost got elected into the highest office in austria and he talked as if he had been pulled through fabric softener not all foreigners and migrants coming to australia bad we have a pretty good relationship with the press we thank the press for their work you know that is directly the opposite of what was said in this now infamous video so they're still trying to stand sort of stay in office however there is an ultimatum up of the conservative party saying if the interior minister doesn't step down we're going to throw them out of the coalition because how can the interior minister who is from the freedom party who is one of the leading members of the freedom party investigate himself and his own party we won't stand for that so now attention is up and we're still waiting for the chancellor for the prime minister courts to come out here and say ok it's really finally over things are dragging on emissions of us in qu

today the sudden cancellation appear really did not go down very well here in berlin this is once norbert and the chair of the foreign affairs committee here in germany the german part of this is what he said today even if there were unavoidable reasons for the cancellation it unfortunately fits into the current climate in the relationship of the two governments washington in berlin belinda i mean you don't have to read between the winds there to understand that the government here in berlin has been put off by. no no of course the government did not officially express that sentiment there was simply mention made that the meeting would very soon be rescheduled but there is no question if this had only been a meeting between the foreign minister of germany and the secretary of state that might have been a different matter but he was set to meet the chancellor and the secretary of state has now been in his is position for over a year he skipped the munich security conference although he was in europe at the time he has not been to germany and there's a sense here that this simply reflects w

and who is helping set up meetings is the head of the foreign affairs committee of the bundestag norbert rudd kim he's a member of angela merkel's party has a very complicated and successful politician and he has helped me work work to find the other allies not just in his own party but other parties and we have a very full day with people from every differ. the party tomorrow who we believe will be joining our coalition for magnitsky act before we let you go i want to ask you just real briefly about your life. has tried to have you arrested numerous times we know that he never forgets he's a vengeful person. i mean do you fear for your life i mean when you leave your are you looking over your shoulder well i think the answer is that they threaten me with murder with kidnapping with arrest with that they are suing me they're making movies about me there and dating me they're sentencing me in prison i don't let this change my behavior in other words that i may be under risk but what they're looking for is to to terminate me and and i won't be intimidated i will carry on doing this because

freedom party is still fighting for its political survival especially if you listen to the new leader norbert hofer he was talking as if he had been called through fabric softener the press to ask for the press to be sort of decapitated now we appreciate their work did we ever receive that big party do nations know the biggest was like 10000 euros nothing really so they are still out there in trying to sort of force their version of events on the public and pretend that nothing happened and love a new elections have been called but what does this mean for chances sébastien course what are his options. his options are quite clear he needs to get rid of the freedom party in government and then he can probably try to cleanse himself off the dirt that has been accumulating over the last months because it's not only the eva saw scandal it was sort of right extreme right wing connections connections to i didn't terry and. clearly is sort of neo nazi connections off to freedom party and in the us repressed it was just one scandal after the other every few weeks courts had just looked away all the ti

with the with that in the press conference earlier on and said that his fellow freedom party member norbert tougher would be stepping into his place carnot the transport minister but this has really been quite an extraordinary downfall for the leader of the freedom party unless of course exactly how the freedom party managed to get into its position of power only for it faces an enormous scandal of such proportions just only a week to go before the european elections and they already hold. a few seats in as part of the austrian delegation there so really a very badly time for them but also don't forget of course that this video was actually made all recorded back in july 27th and that was just a few months before the austria lections themselves drearily raises a lot of questions exactly how the freedom party handles this sort of. intention for it to finance its own coffers and to what lengths it is willing to do so and also now how are australians there responding to all of this and europeans more broadly given as you say european parliamentary elections are coming up next week. well indeed

stood down from that role and said that the transport minister who is also the freedom party member norbert would take the place but there are still really some question marks over how they can fully recover considering that the freedom party was one of the strongest far right parties in europe and indeed have been in existence or have been in existence since the 1950 s. and certainly as part of the political landscape. and so on your can you just tell us a little bit more about this caused drop and the reaction that. well to go back to the video itself it's really quite astonishing to see how it has incriminated himself in this particular video that it was recorded back in july 27th team just months before the austrian elections and he was seen with another senior member of the freedom party as well as the woman who was posing as a russian national she said she was a daughter rather a nice of a russian oligarch looking to invest some $280000000.00 into austria and so this really set forth a discussion which went over. sort of you know foremost how they could not only funnel the funds. dire

civil rights forbearers may not have read norbert wiener's "cybernetics" or cluttered their walls with degrees or tinkered with computer code. but they did not have to. being black in america fully equipped them to recognize that if we develop new computational systems within the existing racial order, the machine would maintain white racial power. they could foresee how new computing machines, the hardware, the software, and those who developed them both would foreclose many black futures. i'll end with this. perhaps roy wilkins, former president of the naacp, his early capacity for engineering enabled and motivated him to think deeply and contemplate deeply the computer revolution's meaning for black people and other nonwhite people in the united states. perhaps only someone who had witnessed firsthand both racial violence and hope could simultaneously transpose a deep sense of both optimism and pessimism on to the computer. if nothing else, certainly his journalist education and long-time work editing "the crisis," the publication that w.e.b. dubois began as a publication of record
