Green gains in Salzburg

Reality Check: Salzburg elections, Nachbar in Not - Syria, Neo-Nazi trial in Germany, World Jewish Congress meets in Budapest, WWOOFing holidays

Salzburg has votes - and the big losers were the ruling SPÖ-ÖVP coalition. The big winners were the Greens, and among young voters, the Greens and the FPÖ were the favourites.

The Greens celebrate their best ever election result

Were the financial scandals to blame, or are there other reasons why voters have had enough of "grand coaltions".

Reinhard Heinisch gives his analysis of yesterday's elections in Salzburg.

Nachbar in Not - Syria

As a part of ORF's Nachbar in Not campaign, we hear from Nisrine Boukhari, a controversial contemporary artist in Damascus who has turned her studios into a home for refugees.

Neo Nazi trial in Germany

Kate Connolly reports on the trial of Beate Zschaepe who is accused of being part of the National Socialist Underground which killed 10 people, mostly of Turkish background. Police originally blamed the deaths on family feuds.

World Jewish Congress in Hungary

Nick Thorpe reports from Budapest on the Congress and the controversy surrounding it. While the Congress is being held in Hungary to highlight anti-semitism in Europe, Nick says anti-Roma problems are a much greater issue.

WWOOFing holidays

Chris Cummins looks at WWOOFing holidays. The acronym stands for "Willing Workers on Organic Farms" - and basically involves you working for free for a few hours on an organic farm in exchange for a bed for the night and your meals.

It`s a travel experience that has been described as great for the environment and great for your budget.
