he says wilder's may have -- maye there -- wilders have lost the election but his political agenda didot. alan posener joins us. he says the conflict with turkey helps the dutch government and angela merkel will take no. and a warm welcome to rieke havertz. she says that the strength of democracy is shown but europe should not lean back and relax after the election in the netherlands. to job janssen. a lot of anxiety around europe regarding this row. what is your assessment? job: it is a surprising outcome. it was uncertain until shortly before the election, what would happen. voters that of remained undecided until the end. i was surprised with these numbers. am most astonished by is how the political landscape has fully fragmented into almost one issue, one target group. and i think that is a development that for me is the most important lesson we can pull from this election. this is not only in the netherlands, but probably in other party democracies in europe. we will see this fragmentation. that was the biggest news. peter: you are suggesting that you are shocked by the outcome. h

either way, wilders is not going to be a part of this. made very clear in a number of other party leaders that they will not work with wilders. so he is being relegated to an opposition role, but that's clearly a role that he relishes. >> yeah. and dominic, to drill down a little further in that. we heard wilders say basically that rutte hasn't gotten rid of him. he tweeted out rutte has not seen the last of me yet. he clearly plans to remain a thorn in the side of the next government. what does that mean going forward? >> well, he can. he has to say this. the ideas and issues and problems that he is talking about are problems that are impacting much of the european union. that important conversations need to be had on these sorts of questions. i think there's a way to go about doing this that is engaging with tolerance and trying to find positive solutions. wilders is not really interested in that, or interested in compromise. he's been interested in fear mongering and dividing society. people are not going to be accepting of that. and a

we see the geert wilders party in a distant third place.hat in itself is not what we have been expecting. let's talk about what this race has been about, oliver. it has been dominated by refugees, immigration, the economy. and can we say, two men's very different views on those topics? reporter: in parts we can say that, of course, the views of prime minister rutte and wilders are different. they have different views on migration. he has a very anti-islam stands. his party grow graham sits on one page. he wants to leave the european union, close the borders, ban the car on -- koran, and ban muslims from coming into the country. rutte has a different stance on these issues and all the parties have a different stance, as well. this is just one aspect. there are several other parties, this is a fragmented party system with 28 parties running. many, many other parties or just behind the two leading parties here, the vvd and the right wing. this is not just about two politicians, but a whole, fragmented political system. many important issues, p

among this university audience we did not find much support for wilders. main policy is all foreigners go back to their own countries. that is the whole point. and i don't think, it's not dutch. but out on the streets, it's a different story. a lot of my friends, i think 80% are supporting geert wilders, and that'sjust because we think he can bring the netherlands back, of what it was. all the other parties have vowed not to work with geert wilders, so it is most unlikely he will be able to form a government, but the prime minister still believes he could be the winner. i do believe there is a real risk that on march 16 we can wake up in this country and geert wilders is leading the biggest party. complicating these final days of the campaign and been protests in rotterdam over a growing row between the netherlands and turkey. turkey was furious when two of its ministers were barred from speaking at a pro—ankara rally in rotterdam. the turkish president enraged the dutch by calling them nazis. geert wilders has seized on this row, telling the turkish commu

why was everybody so focused on this selection and one particular rising star geert wilders wilders with yes, it was all about him, why the world looked at this. it was he who said enough with europe, enough with the muslims, enough with immigration. we have to stop this. we have to ban the koran, close the mosque in the netherlandss, prevent kids from heating halal food in schools. stop, i want to give holland back to the dutch. and we all know what that means. >> senor: it was some of the most strie dent anti-muslim rhetoric in europe. >> one of the most strie dent anti-muslim out there. he is one of the most open, like he says it like it is, that is why he gets votes. he says it, what we think, people say, he says it, we want ta guy. >> senor: and he was getting traction. >> he was getting traction, for a long time, he's getting traction of course we have this whole issue with immigration, we have an issue with security in europe. so he did well. but he didn't do good enough because a lot of people whenever you go to holland and i went a lot of times the last few weeks, months to expl

if wilders gets his way, every mosque will be closed down. the koran will be banned as will islamic scarves in public places. at friday prayers, security guard rocalita angelista celebrated his conversion to islam. according to a recent survey most dutch people estimated that 20% of the 17 million population were muslims. the true figure is six percent. >> you cannot change us. we are here and maybe we were not born here, but some of us, my son, my daughter, is born here, so they are dutch. i think wilders will lose. >> reporter: at the end of friday prayers, there was a collection to raise money for a new mosque in the city of utrecht. this expansionism concerns voters in the picturesque southern town of valkenburg, where wilders made a rare pre election appearance. >> a lot of criminals are muslims. it's not that all muslims are bad, but a lot of them have that ideology that they want to take over the christians and they think that muslims are better and the rules of sharia have to be... are more important than the law, the dutch law. >> i'

one in which the world is looking at and looking at geert wilders.ucation, job and economy is still the key for the dutch. we touched the key for the dutch. we touched the top of the iceberg in the introduction but the economy sounds fairly healthy, wages going up, incomes high. voters would like to see more acceleration in wages after a fairly prolonged period but they are doing better than most other european economies will not it is a matter of cementing... we are still almost in the recoveries since the globalfinancial almost in the recoveries since the global financial crisis in terms of macro economic data in europe so they would like that consolidated, greaterjob they would like that consolidated, greater job security, they would like that consolidated, greaterjob security, you mentioned the campaign to limit the rights of ta keovers the campaign to limit the rights of takeovers as well. what will happen on wednesday... i know i am asking you a difficult question laughter most likely the party of the incumbent prime minister mark rutte will be

that height in harm wilders records. but he is not on any american issues, going to specifically do dutch issues and that's what it's all about. >> sreenivasan: malcolm what is the central issue that is driving people to the polls? >> wilders has really made this a one subject issue election. he's been concentrating on islam immigration nothing else. there will be no more immigrants from islamic countries. he will bask mosques, ban the koran, so the economy hean really taken -- hasn't really taken the front staple. that has upset people in the labor unions, who have seen their taxes go up benefits slash pensions go down and they are realize concerned that these things aren't being discussed. labor unions may possibly support wilders as a protest vote because they are fed up with the politician he. >> sreenivasan: all right, malcolm brabant joining us from a busy thoroughfare in the netherlands, thank you so much. >> sreenivasan: last week, the anti-secrecy group "wikileaks" published thousands of files purportedly descri

the exit polls show that the prime minister has held off the far right geert wilders. thousands of passwords and e-mails stolen from yahoo!. and michelangelo was undoubtedly one of the renaissance masters. the partnership that shaped his work. inra: welcome to our viewers america and around the globe. the winds of populism are blowing in europe. they campaign focused on the far .ight leader, geert wilders he ran on an anti-immigration platform. planning to take the netherlands out of the eu, close mosques, and then the koran. if you do not like the idea, don't come to holland. you can decide where to go and where not to go. i hope we have less islam in holland. islam and freedom are not compatible and we are a free country and you are free to go and leave whenever you want so that is my message. laura: prime minister mark rutte 's campaign was all about stopping wilders in his tracks. >> i know the international journalists are interested in this. it is the third election after brexit. after the american elections, we have the upcoming french and german elections. this

wilders will finish with 20 seats.me minister will now have to turn to other parties, as he tries to form a coalition government. wilders says he -- we haven't seen the last of him, though. let's go live to the hague and atika shubert. so he didn't make the head way that everyone was expecting. >> reporter: no, he didn't. he still managed to gain, though, about five seats. so as far as wilders is concerned, he didn't lose. but on the other hand, it's clear that he was stopped, really, by a combination of, you know, smaller parties getting ahead and mark rita gaining much more than what the polls said he would. even though rita's party lost eight seats in parliament, they still sort of maintained their lead, and rita was very much a victorious candidate last night. take a listen to what he had to say. >> translator: i've had lots of european leaders on the phone already. this night is a night for the netherlands. after brexit, after the american elections, where we said stop it, stop it to the wrong type of populism. >>

e thing is for sure, wilders will not be in it.nt: let's go to our correspoent, oliver, at the dutch parliament in the hague. good evening to you. no big game overall. what happens next. -- next? oliver: prime minister rutte will have to look for a new coalition. he lost his coalition partner. the labour party was one of the biggest losers yesterday. one commentator said last night this was a massacre for them, so they almost disappeared from the political landscape year. it will become obligated because instead of two parties, there will be four parties in the new coalition, and we will see which party will be there. it is a likely scenario, several parties from the center-right, maybe another from outside the political spectrum. that is what makes it complicated. there will have to be a lot of compromise in the negotiation talks. a party that would be a partial talk would be the greens, a big winner of last night. they had the man announced he was interested in bringing ideas into the new government. last time there was a coaliti

mark rutte loses seats, but will likely return to power — after seeing off the challenge of geert wilderstion on mount etna in sicily. hello, i'm katty kay in washington, christian fraser is in london. for the second time in two months, federaljudges have blocked president trump's attempt to impose a travel ban on six mainly muslim countries. earlier this month, the white house issued a new travel order which removed some of the more contentious elements from the first one. - but two judges, one from hawaii another from maryland, took the unusual step of referring back to the president's comments during the election campaign — evidence they said that his order was still designed to discriminate against muslims. donald] trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown on muslims entering the united states, until our country's representatives can figure out what the hell is going on! later in the campaign, mr. trump backed away from his call for a total muslim ban. but thejudge in hawaii appears to conclude that mr. trump's true motivations lie in those earlier remarks. at a rally in nash

wilderness has a more -- wilders has a different approach and rutte came across as more factual. i think one of the strongest moments for rutte was when he said writing on twitter is not like running the government. obviously referring to his opponent's most famous means of communication with his voters and also referred to the fact that he cannot stand by his obligations and his responsibility when he was supporting a minority government and eventually gave up the support. that pushed the country into chaos and led to new elections, so he basically said you are not a credible politician. you are not reliable. one of the strongest moments in return was when he was able to speak about his most famous topics of migration. for instance, throwing out all turks and the current row between the turkey -- between turkey and the netherlands. he had no idea how to respond and fulfill these slogans, so it did not come across well with the people i've spoken to. brent: that is the question -- how much of an influence will this tv debate have on undecided voters? can we expect any shift in mo

wilders.job for the deutch is to try to get a parliament together but that is the headline really, that the populist, anti-islam candidate that was ahead in some opinion polls prior to today's election did not get close to winning. now it is not over yet for the european union. we have the french elections in april and runoff for marine le pen, getting a lot of support and germany later on in the year but as it stands right now holland votes for their current prime minister and saying no so the populist candidate geert wilders. melissa. melissa: ashley, thank you. david: joining me is a eu politics reporter at "the wall street journal" she is on the ground in the netherlands. valentine that, i imagine you've seen some of the headlines. some of the headlines they're writing political demise of geert wilders but he just sent out a tweet saying you haven't seen the last of me. so even if he's not winning in this election, he claims he is going to still be around for the next. >> yes. for re he ll

among this university audience we did not find much support for wilders.nd i don't think, it's not dutch. but out on the streets, it's a different story. a lot of my friends, i think 80% are supporting geert wilders, and that'sjust because we think he can bring the netherlands back, of what it was. all the other parties have vowed not to work with geert wilders, so it is most unlikely he will be able to form a government,

it's those kind of local concerns that wilders gives a voice to. he hasn't offered any solution now it is a up to rutte to say we have heard you here are some solutions. >> dominic, let me ask you this, does this result mean that populism has peaked? has it killed the momentum for the race in france and germany? >> no, absolute will he not, especially when it comes to the french case. what we see here, the interesting story here is the tremendous international attention on the question of populism and the far right. the message to make the netherlands great again has fallen flat. people came out and voted at over 806% yesterday. which has gone against the trend of declining voting numbers in recent years. people came out to vote saying yes maybe we don't have consensus on all of these issues but overrule we are not the divided society that is the america of today or france or brexit of the united kingdom. we have come together. we are used to working in coalition. we will affirm this coalition and we will find solutions to these particular problems

so this vote is about geert wilders and whether people see this populist right—wing splurge.nce between brexit, trump and the french elections, the outcome of this election doesn't signify a winner takes all principle. geert wilders, will perhaps win between around 15 and 20% of the vote but it doesn't get him very far because all of the other parties who are most important have ruled out of governing with him. thank you for your time. fascinating and it is something we will keep a close eye on here at the bbc. just want to take you to the bbc website. it is important day here as well as far as brexit is concerned. ministers are expected to reject the changes by the house of lords. they sent it back to the commons and wa nted sent it back to the commons and wanted two significant changes to the proposed bill before it would allow the prime minister to trigger article 50. if they do agree on it, it formally starts the brexit process and that could happen as early as tomorrow. so all eyes will be on the commons as far as that vote is concerned. change at the top of hsbc. let's

the exclusion by wilders by other parties in the government will not leave him to the government.e toen if wilders get an incredible, successful win, he would still have a hard time putting together some sort of effective government. how do analysts see the future of the netherlands playing out? they for see an extremely lengthy formation as it is called. the president is called to form a coalition of the government. that is looking to take months, on average of three to seven months to form a government. that is when the whole trade starts when parties give up on certain promises in order to gain power. wilders seems to be excluded from the process, even if he does manage to achieve a huge election upset by winning big. the latest polls predict that victory will opt for the safe option rather than choose wilders and plunge netherlands into uncertainty. rnande, thank you. as both candidate and now president, donald trump has always broken with tradition, refusing to release his tax returns. now someone has been it for him. a two-page form from 2005 was leaked to an investigative j

he is exploiting the visit ofa wilders. a turkish minister, the visit of an ally‘s countries minister. by pushing her out of her own diplomatic... she was 30 metres away from... inaudible you talk about the netherlands not behaving in a diplomatic fashion but how can it possibly be helpful when you are using language like lunatic about another politician, whether you agree with his views are not, when we've got the netherlands being described by president erdogan as a ba na na described by president erdogan as a banana republic, and the dutch being compared with the nazis. how is that diplomatic, surely you are creating more discontent? we are just reacting to the unreasonable actions of our so—called allies. reacting to the unreasonable actions of our so-called allies. it's not helpful, is it? never before has a minister been pushed out of a country. she was carrying a diplomatic passport. the way she was treated with a treatment towards 80 million citizens of this country. there are more than 5 million turks in eu countri

geert wilders, the netherlands's a nswer to geert wilders, the netherlands's answer to donald trump wantses and the borders. in defence of their tolerant way of life, many dutch people are a p pa re ntly life, many dutch people are apparently willing to vote for some pretty intolerant policies. —— policies. growing up we were taught that tolerance was as much a part of dutch culture as eating mayonnaise with your chips. i used to live over there, number ten, just the other side of the canal. before i lived there, some other people did, whose names are commemorated here in these plaques, seven of them who were murdered by the nazis during the second world war because they were jewish. there are similar plaques along the canal side. during the war one tenth of the population of this city were deported to concentration camps. the german occupation had a huge impact on how the dutch see themselves. december criminating against people because of their religion, their culture or ethnic background, that was something that other people did. not the dutch. i grew up in a time when all of us in thi

fuelled by geert wilders, the debate has focused on islam. things. they are all the same thing. sylvana simons has set up a political party trying to highlight what she says is a hidden current of racism in dutch society. the reaction has not been good. death threats is what i have received just for simply voicing my opinion on this topic. that doesn't sound like the most tolerant, the most progressive country on earth. we used to take pride in saying we are so tolerant. i think that's our biggest problem. we've been tolerant, we have been tolerating. and tolerating means accepting something that you really don't actually agree with, but you are just, you know, accepting. here's one thing that has definitely changed since i was at school. people seem to have stopped believing that the future will be rosier than the present. i am from a generation that was just thinking everything is going to be better, more, and that stopped now. and we feel that our next generation will have more difficulties to keep this level. it's still optimistic, but it

latest.the why, according to the polls, is wilders losing support? various subjects why he is losing support. the big reason is because he has been our populist in the netherlands. he has been very much supporting donald trump. every time donald trump send out a tweet, donald trump says this is an amazing idea and it turns out a lot of voters in the netherlands who tend to support the freedom party, they do not necessarily support the measures taken by donald trump. that is something unexpected but not working in the benefit of wilders. he also has not been very visible. we had our elections on the 15th of march, a bit more than one week to go and he did not show up at campaign events. he declined to attend debates. the reason he was not campaigning was dealing with security. he is eating it up quickly because he knows he has to work hard. -- he is speeding it up quickly because he knows he has to work hard. vonnie: why is the other candidate benefiting from the sliding in the polls of wilders? >> that is interesting. the people who are supporting ot
