Stephen Sackur talks to Karin Kneissl, foreign minister in Austria's right wing government. Have Europeans found their voice or is a dangerous brand of populism poisoning politics?

In Germany, it threatens Angela Merkel's grip on power, whilst from Italy to Austria and Hungary and Poland, it is driving policies which threaten to smash any continental consensus. HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur speaks to Karin Kneissl - the foreign minister in Austria's right wing, nationalist coalition government.
