Budget referendum actually drove about the sort of the genie coming out of both and its not going back to arab. That. We risk creating her to push us 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 do you know sacha is giving up the reins at automakers. Pretty good only if its a shame theyre a long time a lot like im an old. Shoe and im expecting a fresh winds from the beard off so theres a strategy thats been announced here to all be implemented effectively out of the share price will go up again because. But 1st europe is at a historic political crossroads will it grow more united or war divided as voting begins in the. 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. Brinks 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 knives are from raj is hes welcome back. Here and wales for example is meant to recently has betrayed the country but hes unconditionally accepted rule of brussels demands during the withdrawal negotiations with the brics referendum better i dont know. Do you. Its a document drop to 5 miss your boat in the air. With as you leave out no looking over his shoulder the rush suggests britain doesnt need to deal with brussels the main thing is to leave the queue he doesnt mention that would probably cost jobs. Here im afraid that there is no chance of being delivered with our current 2 party system in our current government were going to fight for it again but i believe we can do so i think the budget referendum actually rather like the sort of the genie coming out of a 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 government just more going to chime on lawyers shaving arse and i are nothing but crooks are far from certainly 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 neighborhoods they dont need the rest 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 arch takeover of this country with all the lack of values and all the lies that stamps campaigner represents he says its a one man show who had severe cold to get him into downing street hes taking the got the country up the garden path and over the cliff the new remain party change u. K. Has a clear enemy nigel farage is braggs at party but the n. T. Bred to vote is splintered and that might be one reason why the pro europeans have not been able to trick nearly the same crowds as a breadth of party who had been bought. 4 rows of chairs are enough to accommodate the crowd many of those who have come other supporting to by the establishment parties think 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 on a belief change your head of one of the only parties to really really support the peoples right to support him and 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 for moved just 77 and heres what of us had to say about their findings. But what were seeing is systematic this information thats not one fake 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 of 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 and messing more and more people who then build like their own bubble of reality and all of a sucker is on the story for us take 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 destructive in the lead up to an election like we having now and just to emphasize the scale even more facebook you said took down 77 of 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 now 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 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. Most. Accounts with variations of her name all spreading anti islamic content content supporting anti feminists for example now we also have an example from italy where pages supporting the populist League Policy there have been spreading a video sharing a video purporting to show african migrants attacking a police car would have a look at that. 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 its in fact from a film called mediterranea. Which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival a few years back so just a few you know different ways of how this president misinformation how big of an impact in the south and. Its obviously you cant attribute the rise of the far right to the spread of disinformation of course and well have to wait and see the result of this election how much of an impact it could have had 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 were dissin from asian. And then there is this information that we can see im talking about close to Networks Like whats out for example that has fast become a one of the most popular ways in many countries to spread political dissent from asian 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. Now british Prime Minister theresa may is pushing back against growing calls for her removal from office as her attempts to lead 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 as 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 not to issue this 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 only 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 christiane shoulder and also into our studio he is a german standup comedian who has performed many times in britain you actually live between the 2 countries as we understand now for 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 too so we just saw Boris Johnson system for example right shes now kind of like promoting to remain in the European Union its just funny hes so extreme shes so extreme one of them has to be adopted i think you know they can 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 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 somebody 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 one set like 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 a new 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 audience is when youre performing what the u. K. Has always been a divided country you know the class system has divided its of the upper class the middle class and the working class much more than in germany other countries. Its best to defend the division between in the way its scotland and ireland obviously on Northern Island the north and the south of in this so theres always been a lot of divisions and now the just the brics it think its just another division. Is the only one that people could vote for vote on and they did and now obviously 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 well as 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 well a lot of people voted to give 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 there 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. It is not because of bricks 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 and now i kind of commute between berlin and london like a fashion brand really. So its a little joining us here in the city thank you thank you.

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 levels of profitability if i can assure you the time to team is drawing even more motivation to work with full energy towards our annual targets of the. Message would be welcome following years in which share prices have been rocky profits slumped in 2018 after several good years teachers actually spend more than 4 decades at time as head of the Chrysler Division he became affectionately known in the us as dr z.

E. O. So 43 years ahead of a long time to work anywhere 13 years as 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 there is approaching a massive transformation as all major car makers are at the moment for several reasons the switch to electro 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 to us he is leaving as c. E. O. But hes not only leave 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 woul
