he defeated the freedom party is -- freedom party's norbert hofer.this as a turning point? that a pro-european candidate can win, and maybe it is not all about right-wing populist movements sweeping over the continent? >> no, in short. i think this is the limit to populism in a core european state. it is very much around memories of the 1930's and 1940's. i think the extreme right wing are going to struggle to get into power, even in places like austria that have a record of skirting with that. >> what about france? >> france is a slightly different story. because marine le pen's agenda has shifted, actually, towards more social policies like larger consumer tax giveaways and benefit giveaways. i think there is a risk, that because she has moved away from the more flowery rhetoric, if i can put it that way, and copying some of trump's electoral strategies that she could do very well in the second poll. >> the french prime minister, manuel valls, has confirmed he will run for the presidency next year. he will resign as prime minister today in order to

the first time far right candidate norbert hofer ran in may, he lost by just 31,000 votes. this time it was a clear defeat that could not be contested. alexander van der bellen, a 72-year-old economist backed by the green party beat him again by a decisive margin. exit polls showed 53% for van der bellen, 47% for hofer. behind me you can see both candidates. hofer and van der bellen, giving interviews to the state broadcaster explaining exactly why they believe voters chose the way they did. >> i think it is an historic day for austria, for several reasons. for the first time a presidential election had to be repeated. and it was not just a reputation. in fact it was a new election. because, you know, conditions change. the growth around us has changed. we have the brexit vote in great britain, in the united kingdom. we have the election of donald trump in the united states and so on. in six months, many things happen. >> voters were worried and anxious but not just about immigration which hofer railed against. but also austria's place in the eu and fears that the so-called

the freedom party's norbert hofer was attempting to become the first freely elected far-right head of state in europe since world war ii. the party was founded by former not the party members. green leader alexander van der bellen who won 53% of the vote celebrated his victory. >> i will try to be an --n-minded, liberal minded, federal president of the republic. amy: in other news from europe, italian prime minister matteo renzi has announced he will resign after his plan to reform the constitution was rejected by voters. this leaves italy in a state political turmoil. the rejection of the referendum was hailed as a victory by several antiestablishment and anti-immigrant groups in italy. in news from louisiana, the naacp and other groups have staged a series of protests after authorities released a man suspected of shooting and killing former nfl player joe mcknight in a possible case of road rage. the suspect, 54-year-old ronald gasser, who is white, was released without being formally charged even though he admitted shooting mcknight, who is african-american, multiple times. police

over in austria, left-leaning alexander van der bellen has defeated far right populist candidate norbert hoferdin joins me now. >> serious financial impacts, particularly, ali, the election results in italy. the campaign run by matteo renzi was backed by the financial institutions, bankers, more of the establishment types. now that they've been set back with the result of this referendum, you ca expect financial consequences on the italn markets, on the ability of banks to get shored up, if you will, with more loans. that's going to be the immediate short term. in terms of the long-term, that remains to be clear whether the country will hold early elections or simply replace matteo renzi with another politician from within his party. >>> let's talk about austria, a different result there, and also one that was a bit of a surprise with the far right candidate being defeated, given these populist movements running through europe. >> yeah, this is definitely giving the establishment folks or pro european union types like angela merkel and others a sigh of relief that they were able to notch one v

they thought, do we really want norbert hofer, the far-right candidate, to have a chance of representinghis country? brexit then happened. then donald trump was elected. then a lot of austrians took fright and said, no, we're not that kind of country. we're going to go for the more moderate candidate. and so alexander van der bellen was elected. but as one austrian said to me today, if you'd told me in the spring that a leader in his 70s who was a failed green party leader would now be the president of the austria, i would have told you that you were joking. but isn't that, chris, the story of 2016? i saw a photograph today of the g-5 meeting in germany, in hannover in april. there were five leaders there. barack obama, well, he's going. francois hollande, approval rate of 4%. he's not standing for president. david cameron, gone. matteo renzi, about to go. the only one standing is angela merkel and she is looking now like a very lonely leader in europe. she said today she was very sad about the italian result, but that europe was on the right track. i would say many of the 500 million vo

and then we have norbert hofer.ng about him, yes, he is from a right-wing populist and skeptical with resistance to immigrants and refugees coming into the country. he questions austria's role in the eu, but the distinguishing others, heen him and is not advocating immediately a withdrawal from the eu. if you look at the constellation of the european populists, he is the conservative one. joe: interesting. what are the key issues? is it about immigration and refugee issues? theirit is and about role in the modern world. there are a lot of people who think it is ok -- who are confused by free trade and its dynamics. the difference between europe and the u.s. come on the fringes of europe you have a human catastrophe, this demographic catastrophe and a huge number of dislocated people who are swarming toward europe. and again, it is one of the questions dominating every democracy in the eu -- how many of these people can we take? how many can we would stand? -- withstand? that is the other key issue along with trade.

austria could elect norbert hofer.reforms. both will test the rise of populism across the continent and could help candidates for anti-immigration. >>> cuba is set to lay fidel castro to rest soon. he will be buried in a private ceremony. massive crowds chanted and waved cuban flags. raul castro thanked them for their affection. >>> at least nine people are dead as a fire tore through a warehouse in oakland, california. the death toll could rise. >> we have recovered nine victims at this point. those victims have been transported from this scene to our coroner's bureau. the identification process has begun with those victims. we are rushing their fingerprints to identify them. and then notify family members as we get those identifications. as we continue on here tonight, there have been some good things that have happened and when i say that, we have been able to put some families' fears at ease by locating loved burns that were believed to be inside here that were actually found to be alive. >> and in the face of the

there was a moment of relief here in vienna when the far right candidate norbert hofer lost the vote to become president to an independent. the main center parties that have governed austria since 1945 weren't even in the final runoff. they can have their sigh of relief. it's still in a sense a bit of a poll list revolution here in austria even though the far right didn't win. talking about italy, that's the more important result. matteo renzi was the future once. not any more. demolition man. he wanted to kick-start the ailing economy but he was demolished by this referendum and was kicked out of power. not even close. 60-40. this was a howl of anger from italy's population. youth unemployment at 40%. they've had 63 governments in 70 years. in many respects italy is a political basket case. there may be early elections and the five-star movement led by a comedian may do very, very well in those elections. so if europe's establishment had a sleepless night last night, they've got more to come. italy elections probably. france definitely. netherlands, germany. the far right doing well
