vox looks set to become spain's fifth—largest party, with the centre—left the largest.that the vox party was, as katya adler said, set to become only the fifth biggest party, did it really warrants the attention given to it? the director of the think—tank british future thought not, writing this on twitter... he went on... and another aspect of katya adler's report on that programme also led to audience objections. vox is extremely spaincentric. it is pro—bullfighting, pro—eu, anti—catalan independence. but in this country, split left and right since the spanish civil war, vox — unlike other populist movements across europe — has failed to attract disaffected workers who traditionally vote for the left. the location of that piece to camera, and a sequence before it, offended louise o'gorman, who e—mailed... at the end of last week, clive myrie, who had been in sri lanka to cover the aftermath of the easter sunday bomb attacks, interviewed the country's prime minister. what caught the attention of some members of the audience was not so much what the prime minister or cl

did sunday's report on spain's election focus too much on the right—wing vox party, who only came fifthand... what drove this normally garrulous newsreader to silence? first, it's been another big week in politics, with the sacking of the defence secretary, gavin williamson, and thursday's local elections in england and northern ireland. but the way the results of the latter were characterised by the bbc met with the disapproval of some viewers. heather leach e—mailed. .. and keith russell made this point... spaniards also went to the polls this week, with the country's third general election in four years last sunday. the headline about it on that night's news at ten focused on the high turnout and the bbc‘s expectation that a far right party was expected to perform strongly. later in the programme, that was again the initial

according to vox, most states offer exemption for school age children on religious ground.ozen offer philosophical or personal belief exemptions. one doctor quoted called these misinformed parent exemptions and there's long been a debate about whether or not to scrap them. donald trump himself has long parroted the false link between autism and vaccinations. though last month he changed his tune and urged parents vaccinate their children. as noah feldman notes in a column in bloomberg, vaccination isn't just about individual liberty, it's about public safety. let's hope we don't need a pandemic affecting thousands, maybe more, before people start accepting the scientific evidence. >>> next on "gps" -- donald trump demanded that the whole world stop buying oil from iran by thursday or face american sanctions. it's a powerful squeeze. will it work? when we come back. ok for when you trade? i want free access to research. yep, td ameritrade's got that. free access to every platform. yeah, that too. i don't want any trade minimums. yeah, i totally agree, they don't have any of

in a very smart way, saying if you vote for me, the social democratic party, you are voting against voxe losing votes, it is because of the mobilisation of so—called negative partisanship, so mainstream parties are saying vote for me, not necessarily because you like me but because you hate the alternative. and i think this is a way of mobilising a sector of the electorate that has been very functional, for example in the case of spain but probably many other countries across europe. i spoke to politco's italy correspondent silvia sciorilli borrelli about the scale of the league's win. well, the scale was pretty big, in the polls before the election all gave him under 30%, so there was a lot of commentary about him being down in the polls, compared to where he was in february and march, and a lot of the media were saying, see, given his aggressive campaign and his anti—eu and anti—european rhetoric, he was losing a lot of votes a nd rhetoric, he was losing a lot of votes and looks like a lot of the five star who have shifted to the ce ntre—left five star who have shifted to the centre—l

and then the afd in germany and the finns party, it's got also vox from spain, ekre from estonia.it would be what happens after the european union elections. if hungary's fidesz party, the party of the prime minister viktor 0rban, decides to join this alliance, because that would make it a quite significant bloc. at the moment, fidesz is part of the european popular party but there have been quite a few problems recently and viktor 0rban himself, he said that he doesn't recognise the candidate of the european people's party, manfred weber from the european commission, as a viable candidate. so he has hinted that he would want tojump ship and move to a bloc with salvini. now, if that was to happen, the bloc that these far right nationalist parties are going to form in european parliament could be quite significant. nowhere of course is european politics more turbulent than in the uk. the british prime minister theresa may has said she will be making "a bold new offer" when the government puts her brexit plan before the house of commons for a final time next month. but the oppositio

it has been detailed by the vox reporter of many investigations. this is the most popular hospital in san francisco and it was out of network for all insurers. the reason for this is up to the beginning of 2019, it didn't participate in the networks of any private insurers. that's right, every single private health insurance offered in the city was out of network for this hospital. and so i'd like to submit this vox article for the record, and it points out that this resulted in abnormally high surprise bills for the patients. and so an er visit for a bike crash cost $20,000. an er visit for a migraine cost $10,000. it was $31,000 for a broken ankle. now, since then zuckerberg san francisco general has since come out and changed its policies after a lot of public pressure, but i'm concerned about why this was an acceptable and legal business practice at all. so, mr. nickels, how common are practices like those carried out at zuckerberg general and how often do major hospitals exclude or even most private insurers in order to subsidize their patient

almost nothing could surprise us at this point, except maybe this news story which comes to us from a voxy who literally wrote the book on trump "the golf cheat." this was held last summer while he was out of the country. meeting with kim jong-un in singapore. sometime later, trump was playing a round when he spotted the guy who won the championship, a businessman named ted virtue. kind of funny. trump drives his golf cart over and says to ted, congrats on winning the club championship, but you didn't really win it because i was out of town. he laughed it off, but trump was dead serious. he says, we're going to play these last six holes for the championship and ted's, like, oh, well, i'm playing with my son. but thanks anyway. trump says, it's okay. your son can play too. both ted and his son hit the ball in the green, but trump hits his in the water. by the time they get to the hole, trump is lining up the son's ball, only now it's his ball, and the caddy has switched it. the swon is, like, that's like y wall. the caddy is, like, that's the president's ball. the son stopped arguing about

how do we explain what happened to vox?sentation which is a good ring anyway. talking on the screen, as you can see, two of those five parties will go into the snd centre left block. a number of what jackie is calling transnational policies. new labour laws that are stripped across the eu. as the spanish electorate open to that? does it mind if more instructions, more guidance is coming from brussels?” think so. the spanish electorate is either pro—european, we are open to that and that is reflected in the election results. the spanish representative in the snd is now one of the leading parties in the social democrats so i think that's really important and somehow, it's become a reference of the european level because he's been one of the first socialists to do better in the election compared to europe which was going down. i think in that sense, they can take the leadership and in general, we've seen a lot of these changes in spain as well. we had one of the most progressive in terms of fighting gender violence. one of the

from my vox show "consider it" i was just in new hampshire a couple of weeks ago speaking with universityhire professor who studied electoral politics. what he said was there's a growing and increasing percentage of people with gop-leading independents and moderate voters who are concerned about trump's pronouncement who did vote for him over hillary clinton in 2016 combust wou but would more likely vote for a centrist democrat in 2020, including joe biden. when you look at the wall wall states that trump was able to defeat hillary in, the margins he won were not that great. so the right candidate, perhaps such as joe biden, he could diminish that margin. i know peter mentioned if it's not bernie sanders, somebody else that person would lose some votes, but i think you do make up those votes poinlly, again, with independent voters and some of those moderate-leaning republicans who are concerned about some of the president's positions. >> so do you want to respond to that? keep in mind sur-michael is a republican consultant. how much do you worry about those republicans that are not in the

nonetheless, it has three seats in the european parliament, the far right vox party.ction in wales was back in1910, so national election in wales was back in 1910, so perhaps unsurprisingly questions are now being asked of what went wrong last night for the party, why are they third behind plaid cymru, the first time in the nationalists 90 year history they outperformed labour in a poll like this and questions being asked about what exactly went wrong for the message on brexit, because even in the past when labour hasn‘t been doing very well at a uk level, in wales they have managed to have this clear identity from uk labour, what‘s been called clear red water. the man who coined that phrase is the current first minister of wales, the current first minister of wales, the leader of the welsh labour government mark drakeford but he stayed close to corbin in terms of messaging on a referendum. now that‘s been called into question. some prominent members of his government, including jeremy myles, the international minister is saying we need to rethink our position on brex

i saw a report last week in vox, of all places, showing that during the first quarter of this year trumpthe same amount that bernie and kamala harris raised combined. that really signals a lot of support and enthusiasm on the right. of course, these numbers are from before joe biden jumped in the race. i don't think you can underestimate that. it's largely because trump has deliver results on those issues that people really care about and the left would be smart to move on from the mueller report. >> kristin, brian benburg here. you saw the president mention infrastructure in his tweet. we had the meeting a few days ago where we saw a big number thrown out, not surprisingly without any way to pay for it. who do you think will get the initiative on infrastructure? do you think the president can claim that or do you see democrats tying him down with the question of how you pay for it, putting tax increases back on the table? >> yeah, i mean, i think unfortunately the only thing that democrats and republicans will likely be able to agree on before 2020 will be spending more of our money and
