Elections euro skeptic parties are expected to make significant gains and in the u. K. That is music to nigel for rajas ears where his new and anti establishment new brags that party is running away with the polls im sorry kelly in berlin this is the day. We need to see bricks through. This prime of the stuff all of those banned as being sued by a club being stomped. On its. Just moments on all the lawyers. And i dont nothing but a farce on the treasonable people. We have to stop to for all take this countrys hes taking the country out of the golden calf and there is
a cliff. And i think the president of rwanda actually wrote about the sort of the genie coming out of a book and its not going but i am. A risk creating hurdles official as a time when we need to be acting together in the national interest. And also coming up on the day one of germanys top industrialists is stepping down david sacha is giving up the reins at auto maker. Pretty good only if its a shame theyre a long time a lot like him an old fall there should be getting a fresh winds from the near boston has a strategy thats been announced here to all be implemented effectively into the out of the share price will go up again because. By 1st europe is at a historic political crossroads will it grow more united or more divided as voting begins. In the e. U. Parliament elections on thursday Opinion Polls suggest that there could be significant advances for the a re of Populist Nationalists and far right parties that are determined to claw back power from the e. U. For their own National Governments for example in the u. K. Polls say that nigel for rajas new n. T. E. U. Branch of party could glean as much as 37 percent of the vote there the election has become as much about europe as it has about theresa may and her multiple failed attempts to leave britain out of the bloc. That wherever the niger frog is hes welcome back stop here and wait for its on his next recently has betrayed the country but hes unconditionally accepted rule of brussels demands during the withdrawal negotiations with the brics referendum a very i dont know. Do you. Its a document drafted by burst your bubble in the air. Without
a live out looking over his shoulder for rush suggest britain doesnt need to deal with presses the main thing is to leave the view he doesnt mention that would probably cost jobs right. There im afraid that there is no chance of brakes being delivered with our current 2 party system and our current government will have to fight for it again but i believe we can do so i think the Budget Referendum actually rob about the sort of the genie coming out of the bottle its not going back. In the city of peterborough over a 1000 people come to check out the new party many of them used to vote for the conservatives the carbon just more going to china or lawyers who say very nice and i are nothing but crooks so far as are concerned a treasonable people people are very angry and feel very hurt and upset that their vote is being ignored and democracy is being trampled all over the internet is that the party claims to have gained more than 100000 new members in just
a few weeks. Actually made it a page in the internet of the wall of change u. K. Can only dream of such numbers greater johnson is in the spotlight and path in southwest england the political newcomer who has one main goal we have to stop or for takeover of this country with all the lack of values and all the lies that. Campaigner represents he says its a one man show its a vehicle to get him into Downing Street hes taken the got the country up the garden path and over the cliff the new ring main party change u. K. Has a clear enemy nigel farage is braggs a party but the n. T. Brags that vote is splintered and that might be one reason why the pro europeans have not been able to tread nearly the same crowds as a brags at party who had seen by. 4 rows of chairs are enough to accommodate the crowd many of those who have come are disappointed by the establishment parties. This is an opportunity to see what a remaining polity a new voice a fresh voice has to say to me and i was very impressed actually the passion with which they spoke on the question your opinion and i believe changing for k a one of the only parts is to really really support the people to support the big parties are being punished in the e. U. Elections and that looks like the populists will be the biggest witness right. Oh and this election comes at a critical time for the European Union as division is deepening and nationalism rising now a new report by the Online Campaign group of us has found that far right and groups have launched a full fledged offensive bombarding potential voters with dissin from a ship it identified over 500 facebook pages and groups that were intentionally spreading false information the accounts had nearly 32000000 followers and many
more interactions now of the more than 500 accounts reported by Abbas Facebook has removed just 77 and heres what a vos had to say about their findings. But what we seeing is systematic this information its not one thing is popping up here another one there it is building that works of millions of followers of millions of people and then reaching out further and further and further and slowly but surely kind of deceiving people into believing the same lies and thats the danger is like this information is not one week one big fake news its done it is over a very long term playing the long game and slowly but surely messing more and more people who then build like their own bubble of reality and all the soccer is on the story for us stick a closer look so i mean what did this study tell us that we didnt already know i think one of the most shocking aspects of this study the sheer numbers the vost reach of these networks now you mentioned 32000000 people following these pages in
fact more than half a 1000000000 people have actually seen the content over the last 3 months now thats 6000000 people a day and thats can certainly be disruptive in the lead up to an election like we have now and just to emphasize the scale even more facebook you said took down 77 all these 500 pages but those 77 pages they have more followers than all of the populists many populist parties in these 6 European Countries have together now it was also interesting is who is actually spreading this this information were talking about local Grassroots Groups and were no longer talking about you know large caches of documents being dumped online were not talking about russian troll Troll Factories like we saw for example in the 2016 u. S. Election so what are some of the examples that highlight it so most of the material that theyre looking at is basically a narrative warfare for the far right now we have an example from germany with
multiple pages seemingly belonging to one. From the a f d thats the populist alternative for germany party. Accounts with variations of her name or spreading anti islamic content content supporting anti feminists for example now we also have an example from italy where pages supporting the populist lead polity there have been spreading a Video Sharing a Video Purporting to show african migrants attacking a police car would have a look at that here but if you have a look closely you can see there is a microphone there and there are Lighting Guys holding a giant white reflector so this is clearly a from a film shoots its in fact from a film called mediterranea. Which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival a few years back just a few you know different ways of of how this body and this information how big an
impact in the south and. Its obviously you cant attribute the rise of the far right to the spread of this information alone of course and well have to wait and see the results of this election how much of an impact it could have happened now interestingly the threat of this Information Dip seems to depend on the platform youre using. Another study just out from the Oxford Internet institute analyzing half a 1000000 of election tweets and they only found the 4 percent of them disinform ation. And then there is this information that we can see im talking about closed Networks Like whats up for example that has fast become a one of the most popular ways in many countries to spread political this information so the problem. Is that its getting increasingly difficult to actually
see the monitor the scope of the threat of this information. On the story thank you. British Prime Minister theresa may is pushing back against the growing calls for her removal from office as her attempts to leave britain out of the European Union head for a debt and both the opposition as well as many within her own party have rejected the revised Withdrawal Deal thats despite may opening the door to a 2nd that referendum and a temporary Customs Union with the e. U. She urged lawmakers to grasp what shes called a last chance. There is an issue about customs there is a difference of opinion in this house on The Future Customs Arrangement with the European Union thats why its important that this house actually comes to a decision on that issue. Regarding 2nd Referendum the 2nd reading of the Withdrawal Agreement bill will enable this house to come to a decision on that issue it would also enable the house to come to a decision on
a 2nd Referendum which i continue to believe would not be the right route for this country to go down we should deliver on the 1st Referendum suggesting anything about a 2nd lets get some more analysis on this now a bit of a difference and we have invited christian show down the hall into our studio he is a german Stand Up Comedian who has performed many times in britain you actually live between the 2 countries as we understand now so now because the situation is really no laughing matter though is that it still is though its because its all so crazy that you have to laugh about it but its not funny because its peoples futures right what is my future to do so but we just saw Boris Johnson system for example right shes now kind of promoting to remain in the European Union its just funny hes so extreme she saw extreme one of them has to be adopted i think you know they cant be Brother And Sister so its all insane in the end he would be the Prime Minister and thats going to be the final punchline of the whole joke so
where do you get your inspiration when youre coming up with you know things that you find funny. I dont know they write the jokes for us down there so the politicians and people in general but obviously if put it to says are too funny its hard for a comedian to kind of like outdo them and be even funnier so now people are expecting comedians to say smart things and politicians to be funny. You know its all going wrong is no insult topsyturvy so its a bit of a field day for comedians right now kind of yeah but its also difficult because for some to trump whenever he says something its so extreme and so over the top that its hard to make it even funnier as a comedian you can just you know you just have to sit sit there and lean back and. Enjoy all the funny stuff he says you know youre sitting back now youre leaning back i mean we have all this speculation that to resubmit his days in office are numbered weve heard that before many times. Who would you like to succeed her in office and why 1st i think shes still clinging on you know for
a while so it looks every every week people say this is her final week now progressing this or find a night but well see shes to tries to you know to to prolong the whole thing trying to go through parliament again with her deal. Its like einstein who once said the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and over but expect a different outcome shes like that at the moment so for now i would write her off and whatever is going to happen off that we dont know nobody knows nobody knows im the one thing is really certain though is that the u. K. Is really divided i mean we dont see that in the polling we see that in the way the politics is playing out is that something that you also see in your audiences when youre performing what the u. K. Has always been a divided country you know the class system is divided its of the upper class the middle class and the Working Class much more than in germany other countries. Its nested if it is the division between england away its scotland and ireland obviously on Northern Island theres the north and the south of in this so theres
always been a lot of divisions and now the just the thing is just another division. Its the only one that people could vote for vote on and they did and now we can see how divided the country is so its not really adding to a peaceful and United Kingdom are there certain jokes that just Dont Play Wells a certain audience is i mean do you so yeah gauge the room or figure out you know which area youre living in or you know performing in rather its very its very important where you are just like you said so in london obviously everything is a way more liberal than europe friendly and then you go to certain parts of essex where lot of people voted to leave the European Union and you know especially as a german going to is not always easy but i kind of enjoy it because im in the position of the outsider so thats thats always a good position to be in there obviously quite a few of them weve had that. Thing that germany runs the European Union which is kind of true lets be honest and them so that is obviously a position they dont really like to see and i well i play with that obviously
controversial point by the way i might have to ask you for some facts to back one up i want to read fake news are you happy that youre back in germany now i mean because you used to be living primarily in the u. K. But now youre kind of going back and forth is that because. And its not because of that i just i used to be in britain only and then i got an offer to work in germany and do stand up in my own language and then i started to do it and it worked out ok now i kind of commute between then and London Fashion brand ready. Thank you thank you. Indonesias president we dont know has warns that strong action will be taken against rioters in the Capital Jakarta he was speaking after demonstrators protested the results of last months president ial election at least 6 people were killed in clashes with Security Forces violence broke out after authorities confirmed the president s reelection supporters of the main opposition candidate
claimed lho was right. On the streets of jakarta another night of violence after protests continued throughout the day demonstrators fought running battles with police throwing stones and Lighting Fires continue to defy Police Orders to leave the downtown area. The demonstration started peacefully on tuesday evening but that quickly turned violent after Election Results showed incumbent President Joker we dont know but one reelection Opposition Supporters tried to force their way into the offices of the Election Supervisor Agency to help Molotov Cocktails and burning project out a Police Responded with tear gas Rubber Bullets and water cannon positions supporters later moved on to other areas of the City Setting Fire to vehicles and a Police Dormitory police blame the violence on what they call provocateurs and that dozens of suspects have been arrested. The majority of protesters came from
jakarta they came from west java content in central java we also found evidence including an ambulance that was filled with stones and tools for a tank. The Election Commission said president had won 55 percent of the Vote Spending to feed for its Ultra Nationalist opponent former general problem to be on time. He says the poll was marred by widespread fraud but so far hes no evidence to back up the claim the president vowed to crackdown on the protests. There is no choice no choice the military and police will take firm action in accordance with the law. But so beyond the defeated candidate is refusing to accept the election result to mobilize peoples power the government has to put some 50000 police and soldiers across to carter to back up the president s tough rhetoric. It is the end of an era german automaker dialer the firm behind mercedes cars its long time c. E. O. David satcher is stepping down today to make room for his successor. Led dialer for more than a decade and became one of the most recognizable faces of german business but now it is time to hand over the reins. A grateful goodbye from shareholders after 13 years at the helm. We cannot and will not remain satisfied with the current level was profitability i can assure you the time the team is drawing even more motivation to work with full energy towards our annual targets. But. That message will be welcome following years in which share prices have been rocky profits slumped in 2018 after several good years. Sure spent more than 4 decades at a time line as head of the Chrysler Division he became affectionately known in the
us as dr z. Even appeared in. This fight i think with this page there is only one example that smalling for better performance and handling it was then credited with helping diamond to recover when the Chrysler Takeover fell apart in 2007. Has achieved record saying it was in recent years after increasing the appeal of its cars to a younger market many shareholders say this sad to see that should go pretty good only its a shame in there i liked him a lot like him a lot. Of fresh winners from the new strategy thats been announced here it will be implemented effectively now that the share price will go up again because. That future strategy will be led by time is known jim and see all of us. And were joined now from business tasked by Arthur Sullivan to tell us a little bit more about doctors ease departure i mean thats what hes affectionately called by many a Business Leader of this stature why is he leaving now well for starters sara hes
been working on dime for 43 years and 13 of those c. E. O. So 43 years ahead of a long time to work anywhere 13 years of the c. E. O. Of an organization as big as diameter is extremely demanding job so its natural that you would leave after that stage however the other factors at play here is approaching a massive transformation as all major car makers are at the moment for several reasons the switch track from ability autonomous driving etc its also going through a major Restructuring Process so it makes sense that you would change leader at this point get a new person in new ideas and to lead this period of transformation also restructuring and also one of the point its important what he is leaving a c. E. O. But hes not only believe in diameter so when this was announced last year the announcement was framed in the context that he was leaving in may 2019 because the plan would be that in 2 years 2021 he would return as chairman of the Supervisory Board so in 2 years time he would actually be back in time or in a different capacity but hes not fully leaving so thats important remember so
just walk us through though the highs the lows of his career as we look back well it was the most obvious high is the fact that for 13 years a c. E. O. Has consistently been a profitable highly Profitable Company so thats made a more proper chair. Holders the big thing that you find that he generally gets credit for is that when he took over in 2006 dimer was going through a very difficult merger the merge from hell as it was known with chrysler he managed to extricate them from the us and then lead them through that period into a Successful Operation in their own right as diner and then after the financial crisis he also led the mercedes brand and he made that one of the leading brands in the Luxury Market to get ahead of b. M. W. And so theyre his big achievements ready to take it out of the chrysler period in the return of consistent profitability in terms of the lows i suppose the you cant escape the fact that at the 28 it was quite a bad year for diameter their their figures were down their sales were down their revenues are down there was an old timers fault but things have certainly cooled of it and also the 1st quarter 21000 was the same also what volkswagen took most of
the brunt of this from the diesel emissions scandal its important remember the time there were not glamorous there either so theres been a few negatives during his time in charge so his successor i mean he inherits as youve highlighted there are some challenging conditions look can we expect from him there were the 2 big things thats interesting about the success or 2 of the major prerequisites historically for german Business Leaders of particularly in the car industry has been one that youre german and 2 that youre an engineer hes neither hes swedish and hes prempro already a financial guy he has no real background in engineering for the last 2 and a half years hes been leading the research and Development Division thats primarily involved looking into these big transformations that im talking about so autonomous driving internet of Things Technology and of course the big one the switch to Electro Ability so thats really what his major challenge will be can be restructured diameter and can he lead us into those new technologies testily because in many cases there this is not just a question of returning huge profits its a question of survival because the car industry is changing that much so well be still
a major car company in 20 years thats the big challenge we will certainly have a lot of his plate and some very big shoes to fill Arthur Sullivan from business thank you. Kenya now and hippopotamuses are facing a new threat not only are hunters targeting them they are also having to compete with other animals for food as a result their numbers are dwindling now a new study has revealed that any reduction in their numbers could spell disaster for the vital health of rivers in the region. A hungry hippos grazes on the shores of kenyas lake one of over 1500 hippos that make this lake its home but the grass here is increasingly in short supply. Locals often bring back cattle down to the Grasslands Fringing the lake to feed the competition for food between wildlife and Domestic Animals is driven to the extreme by drought and climate
change. It means that people are bringing their livestock into protected Areas National parks and reserves and theyre competing with the animals like hippos and these poor animals dont have any other source of food they literally would. If they hippos die the rivers and lakes could die with them hippos chaum through huge amounts of grass every night and this grass contains a precious element called silica floating in the water during the day that Digestion Kicks in they then excrete vast quantities of dung into the water the silica in the hippo dung is absolutely vital for the health of africas waterways a new study has found it helps curb algae blooms that killed marine life. So to have Healthy Waterways we need healthy hippos but Hippos Dont Gotta much sympathy with the locals just last year several people have died from hippo attacks
have been and many many cases of People Killed by hippos and this means people dont like to tolerate people they will often kill its been in the press in kenya quite a lot in many many instances of local people calling the service to come and kill hippos because they feel like their lives are endangered. With farmers that cattle and the hippos all competing for dwindling grasslands the biggest loser of this fight might be our environment. Lets all now for the day dont forget as always the congress.
