8:00 pm
the the dw news live from berlin. k has a new prime minister tear at starbucks off country high spoke, chased decisively. both che summer entered thing down the street on friday thanks to a landslide victory, voters have brought 2 years of conservative room to an end. also coming up, work to stop by for a visit, during prime minister, think to orb on shaking hands with russian president vladimir putin on what he calls a piece mission to moss scale. but some european leaders are not a new. and after months of debate, the german government has agreed on
8:01 pm
a new budget without lifting the debt ceiling, which some say will keep the lid on economic growth. the break off is good to have you with us. we begin in the u. k. where the new prime minister is getting down to business, cure storm, or has already announced most of his new cabinet positions among them. rachel reeds as finance minister. the 1st woman ever named to the job storm or comes to power after his center left the labor party won a landslide. victory paving the way for a major political reset. a new era has begun in the yuki politics. at least. that's what he has. toddler is promising. after 14 years of conservative
8:02 pm
rules, he entered number 10 downing street. as the u. k is new prime minister. i say to you directly, mike government will serve you. politics can be a false for good. we will show that we change the labor policy, return it to service, and that is how we woke up a country fast potty 2nd. after leading his guns over the body to it was selection defeat, have a former prime minister issue so not resigned. as its leader. he apologized to the british people and his body in his federal speech. i would like to say, 1st and foremost, i am sorry, i have given this joke, miles, you have sent a clear signal that the government of the united kingdom must change. and yours is
8:03 pm
the only go to turn out in the election. what's the lowest in years? but it was enough to proper labor to over $400.00 seats in parliament and leave the conservatives languishing with around a $120.00. the conservatives last once the populace reform bodies gain. deleda nigel for i want a seat in parliament for the 1st time. the . it's not just disappointment with the conservative policy. there was a massive guy published sense of right of british politics. my job is to fit it, and that's exactly what i'm going to do. many people in the u. k. r bank, i'm in the new political landscape, but other side of skeptical of just how much change this new government can bring about. it would be interesting to see how labor actually perform estates own. i think we've got another change of government in the next election lies in say,
8:04 pm
what's going on? i think people are getting fed up buttons, new, private historic, got down to work immediately. the big in a pointing members office, new cabinet in order to fulfill what he says is this stop going well for the building. but in the light spoke with political commentator, invention corresponded, queens and po earlier and i asked him what the new prime ministers plans for change could look like as well. he's be rather careful about defining too much precisely what he means by change. and i think the key would actually is, is trust what he realizes that he's won this land slide of precisely because the conservative party, after 14 years had really domestically lost the trust of that is. and he intends to
8:05 pm
restore that trust. so he's talking about service, he's talking about transparency of honesty and government. he's talking about stability and motivation, which doesn't really sound like change. he has spelled out quite a few policies that would imply change such as building more houses, such as reforming the national health service. but again, quite close to some of the detail because he knows that there's a shortage of cash to do the sorts of things. he wants to do, and he's absolutely determined that he's no guide to become labeled as a big tax, big taxing prime minister. what change can we expect in terms of britain's relations with the rest of the world as well. he has spelled time that he wants much better relations with the european union of
8:06 pm
through ever since breaks it ever since the british left. the european union of the conservative party seems to been hell bent on really trying to be as rude as possible to most of it's for me, your opinion partners have to keep them at times like a slightly less true of race you through that that he was of his pre does, this is like about his johnson anyway, originally so not does want to have better relations, but he's adamant, but he does not want to read joy. the single my kids all the customs you did. indeed he says nothing in my lifetime. so he's quite tough on the big picture, but he's quite keen to do small gestures of, of change to improve relations. he's also very clear that he wants to remain a strong supporter of ukraine in the will with russia. and he's very keen on transatlantic relations. although again, that may be difficult if there is
8:07 pm
a real possibility that donald trump might become the next us president. and i think the relations could be quite difficult. the reform party, it took a lot of votes away from the conservatives. for a viewers, you don't know, this is a populace party led by nigel for ross, you happens to be a friend of donald trump. how big of an impact do you expect this party to have after all, it has. what i'm looking right now. it only has what 4 or is it 4 or 5 m p 's now, or that for the last kind of dry sink. but um, you, so it has to go to big representation, but it did an enormous amount of damage to the conservative. so the conservatives were really cold between a labor policy that had reformed itself and re, she's done the guest, um, uh, as a much more of a center left body that had been under his pre, to assess a jeremy colvin. and was seen as the for a safe pair of hands. but on the right,
8:08 pm
the conservatives faced is faced now i do for and his policy for right, nationalistic and t, immigration reform party. they lost votes in that direction too. they also lost quite a lot of seats to the liberal democrats. so the conservative policy was completely cool in a bind. and really the selection was about the collapse in this support rather than any dramatic rise in support for the labor budget. question feel is always quite and we appreciate your time and your valuable analysis will be talking with you later in the day. thank you. bye. so what was he up to? that is the question today. after hungary, as prime minister victor or bon paid a visit to russian president vladimir putin in moscow or by and says that he was there to discuss a potential peace deal that could end russia's war in ukraine. a hungary assume the 6 month rotating presidency of the european union on monday. but your leaders say
8:09 pm
that or binds trip was not approved. they've harshly criticized. it is a self styled piece mission hungry has just taken over the presidency and victor open the use. most pro russian leader sees himself as a potential mediator between russia and ukraine, hobbled legs. i. so there are many steps needed for bringing the war to an end and creating peace deal, but in terms of restoring dialogue, i think the 1st important step has been taken today, and i will continue this work for the people of my stomach a lot in it. to 10 claims ukraine doesn't want an end to hostilities because most are low means it's lee does, can hold on to power for live some weeks ago. but especially in my opinion, the key regime does not allow the very idea of a sci fi. because then there won't be
8:10 pm
a pretext prolonging the martial law. relations between the you and russia have frozen eva since its invasion of ukraine. european council president shaw michelle was one of several leading e. u. voices who condemned opens trip to moscow. wrote a nato chief in stoughton bug, also distance himself to tall scot. this and this will be what is important is that will allow us to also hungry the degrees. that's a, that's a rush. i use the pressure on the originally. so it's possible for the war and up to uh, ukraine's territories integrity and 70 must be respected. full bonds visit to the kremlin, comes just days after a trip to keith to meet president fellow demand zalinski.
8:11 pm
despite tensions between the 2 of the old bands paused, attempts to block e u a to ukraine. the visit seems to have smoothed relations. is that alone? now there is a completely different relationship between ukraine and hungry. it's concrete and we acknowledge a mutual interest. russell will say, you mean to this? the vans diplomatic efforts improve ties to face ukraine and russia? but in doing so, he has rustled many feathers in brussels. yeah, they're talking about those ruffled feathers. i'm joined now by our corresponded terry shultz. she's in brussels covering this forest. very good to see you. think to orb on the seems to be trying to portray himself as a potential peace maker here. how is that viewed from where you are in brussels? the view here is that the only person here things or bond is a peace maker,
8:12 pm
is or bon himself. this trip was not coordinated with the european union. they were not informed on the you side that he was going. and there was a lot of anger that in the beginning of a or buns entourage was posting photos of him arriving in moscow with the european union logo on the left hand side of those boat photos being that hungry is the current rotating president. there was an uproar on x and i noticed that photos after that had it taken off because the use position was that oregon had no mandate whatsoever to speak about anything on the e u side on his visit there. nobody wanted him to go there. if he had asked him, he would have been advised as such. in fact, one is stony and official said, the only reason that the oregon should be visiting, putting is to hand over the indictment of the international criminal court and take him back to the hey. okay, so he didn't have, you know, a mandate to go and visit the kremlin, but he did so. so what are you leaders worried about,
8:13 pm
and what are they worried about? what may have happened? well, it certainly gave a russian president vladimir putin of public relations crew to have the current president of the european council, the council of the european union there visiting him and you know, what to put in for statements was we understand that you're visiting us. uh, you know, bringing you messages and that of course he knew wasn't true, but of course it gets under the skin of everyone here in brussel. so this was definitely or bon handing, putting a pe arwin. yeah. and hungary, if people don't remember, is also a member of nato need or bond support. some of the 2 vice president fulton can undermine the alliance. is united front least in terms of the optics. well, once again, as hungry has done on the you side of town at nato. it has also asked for an opt out on supporting ukraine in any nato emissions. it doesn't have to give any money
8:14 pm
. it doesn't have to give any personnel. you know, this was the deal, reach with the you as well. that hungry would just sit it out because it doesn't want to support ukraine. now, just like on the you side of nato's mission is to help you crane when this war. so there isn't a united front when you have hungry out in such a prominent position, saying that it's, you know, believes there should be peace made between russia and evidently on russia's terms . so very, let's look at this. so consider this with a different pair of glasses here. is it possible that or bon is bringing a message from ukraine's president for russian president fulton and i'm talking about back channel communications here. i know with speculation, but what, what if so it wouldn't be my speculation. i don't think that anyone believes that or bon is the person you want. negotiate in your future. if you're in ukraine, he's way too close to moscow. he has shown himself time and again to be citing with
8:15 pm
the kremlin, that's not who ukraine wants negotiating on, on their behalf. so it would have to be a very back channel and the administrator for an affairs of ukraine put out a statement today on or a bunch trip saying, you know, there is no negotiating about ukraine without ukraine. and there certainly was no ukrainian in the room today. with victor or mont of watermark fruit. and of course my very schultz with the leg it's been like from brussels is always terry. thank you. iranians are voting and the run off a presidential election to replace the leads. abraham were easy, who was killed in a helicopter crash in may, voters have a choice between the reform is candidates must who possess kion, who has called for improved relations within us and relaxing internet restrictions . and hard liner site is only a, he's an ultra conservative former nuclear negotiator who has promised economic growth and restrictions on women's rights. first round turnouts was the lowest in
8:16 pm
the islamic republics. history. for more now from washington, i'm joined by the non been tell a bit. he's a senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracies focusing on iran in the middle east. it's good to have you with this. um, i guess people looking at this from the outside or wondering how did a relatively unknown reform is end up leaving this race? well, it's a pleasure to be with you. it's no secret that elections in your honor, shall we change selection. so neither free north there and they are highly orchestrated. and this special run off is reminding me a great deal of the 2005, the last time you had to run off the liberal hard line or into the presidency. and that's how i can get a job, entered the presidency in 2005. the regime is hoping that the prospect of a contrast, admittedly a very, very, very minor a contrast because as you know, yesterday's insider is today's regime outside of the fact that someone like this
8:17 pm
young could make it. ready or all of these different qualifying rounds tells you that the supreme leader does have a fair amount of trust in him. and in this sense, i may try to use the prospect of agility candidacy to get a somewhat higher turnout admin at least still low. but get a somewhat higher turn out and then pivot and still use that to orchestrate a jelly, the engineer selection. anyway. yeah, i want to ask you a button to turn out in the 1st round voting and hit the record low. and we know that the supreme leader, you know, he wanted the opposite of that to happen. have to renew it that they've given up on their political system. i mean, do they not see either of the candidates as being really legitimate? yeah, you certainly don't have to take it for me, you know, starting in 2018 and continuing into multiple rounds of nationwide protests and to the presidents. one slogan that you hear is reform is principle as the jake is off or reform is principle as the game itself or so there's really pushing away from the ballot box and the embrace of street protests and the potential factor of not
8:18 pm
just change. but as a potential is accurate, accurate, it can test everything that the state is doing. so society is taking to the street rather than the ballot box. and that trend line isn't using one thing. meaning the more you have, the 3 protests grow in demographic and geographic diversity. the less and less and less turn out for housing. and you saw that with parliamentary elections, presidential elections. and you'll continue to see that. or what about foreign policy here of how is this election likely to impact iran in the outer world? and i'm thinking about is real and also russia you know, certainly the board and security policy shall we say of the cycle public of ron is not controlled by the writing president at best. he will have a stylistic rather than substantive impact that are running for him. the security policy, but sometimes as you know, style can have the substance on its own. and what that may mean here is not for the post october 2nd, middle least,
8:19 pm
then be wrong and support the proxies and multiple jurisdictions that are complex sounds. the date that stuff i think will be allows equal but in reality, the only place i could really see was having some kind of impact is if the supreme leader of iran, which is the title of men to be taken rather literally wants to use the prospect of a slightly different person at the home to wink wink nudge nudge, do some kind of nuclear diplomacy with america, or use someone else to continue to contract the system and be much more over about the direction it wants to go in. but yeah, and then it totally blew with the foundation for the defense of democracies. we appreciate your time and your analysis tonight. thank you. thank you. in a landmark decision, israel's supreme court has ruled that ultra orthodox jews must be conscripted into the military and that ends in nearly 80 year exemption. it's a popular decision in the country were almost every other jewish is really faces, the draft, but it stroking tensions both in society and within the coalition. government dw
8:20 pm
funny to char reports tonight from jerusalem. when you turn 18 and ease, well, you have to report here. a conscription center military service is mandatory for most men and women in the country. the most out old house to serve in the military for up to 30 months. there are various extensions like for ultra orthodox jews who do not need to report here, but that's about to change. the supreme court has just ruled against a decades old exemption. most people like the way the majority of these really say it's time to reduce extensions and for the ultra orthodox community to do more, they hope this would reduce the burden on everyone else. i may get them into making a hammer reservist. i can't do 4 months or reserves service minimum. it's impossible and that's happening is almost like a massive protest against
8:21 pm
a conscription of ultra orthodox jews have been turning violent in jerusalem to them. enlistment means a secular way of life, contradicting their religious commitments. the supreme court ruling puts the government in a dilemma prime and is to been, you mean nothing else? ultra orthodox coalition partners has threatened to quit his government if their community is conscripted and yet society at large, most voters and the opposition parties would endorse such a change. a hi. assume that there is good. um, everyone has to be recruited to the um it yeah. if before it was a moral principle view, now it is an existing chill. imperative is the recruitment bill is a great taste for the coalition. because if it continues to prioritize keeping the coalition together within the needs of the, i mean most people say government may collect lots of care. so that's the i look
8:22 pm
for this is mia chevy? one of the reasons ultra orthodox neighborhood. it's rare to get permission to film here you'll be able to music so we are just a few kilometers from parliament, but a world away from that sex in our life. the days here are focused on closely following jewish religious law. traditions and prayer is hell more than a 1000000 is really slit around 13 percent of the population. does he or she wants to keep it that way. he's been an every protest against orthodox conscription. he says and directions. there's no way the government could enforce it. the thought that they can impose criminal sanctions on the people, but they are not going to go into neighborhood significant and they don't have enough room and prisons now. with 60000 just shiva students, ready to go to jail,
8:23 pm
you can shut down the state on the that's 60000 to mentioned are conscription aged ultra orthodox meant 3000 of them should be drafted immediately according to the attorney general. but will they be sag? is an academic with a focus on is really military ethics. so he says, nothing will happen during the current summer recess. but the government coalition won't be able to delay the issue much longer than that shall be moved down. this may lead sooner or later to elections and we're at the cost of a total change at the societal balance of power in israel. i think that i think what used to be, who no longer be able to pass as my estimation. because it's rarely society got on its back feet and said enough is enough. we cannot live this way. i must speak. you
8:24 pm
have certainly field hearing me or she are mean you will hear says jewish religious law is incompatible with fighting for the secular israel state. he says, men here will now do that, no matter the consequences for them, for the country. would you ever these government, which is comprised of 3 political parties, is finally agreed on a national budget for 2025. it is a major breakthrough that ends weeks of difficult negotiations over the finances of europe's largest economy. now, under this agreement, party leaders have agreed to abide by germany's type barring rules which prohibit budget deficits. but the deal also includes the package to help businesses and to boost and the make economic growth. it's a done deal. gemini is 3 potty coalition says it finally has a bunch of land that sticks to the countries type. borrowing rules at the same time as boosting flagging growth and supporting business and europe slot just economy.
8:25 pm
auction we'll see if i'm stuck with the gemini, must know, be an increased ability in europe is continue as a country at the heart of the continent with a strategic importance, economic power and political wages. we must not turn our backs on the world in these times. the announcement ends months of squabbling, which threatened to tell the coalition to part, let me just finish for, i'm not pleased. we have succeeded in drawing up a budget that provides the right time says to the questions of our time. and in which all 3 coalition partners see themselves reflected as well as the projects that for good reason are particularly important to them. as the draft includes an increase in chide benefits. funding for the 2 lies ation of schools and investments in roland roads. it sticks to the cap on annual borrowing, known as the debt break, and includes what the coalition is causing a growth tubal package to boost the economy. and you know it's 5000 and susan's in 2025. we are planning
8:26 pm
a bunch of volume of 481000000000 euros of which 57000000000 euros will be investments invested. so in other words, a significant increase from what is already at a record level. they called me nibble. germany's foreign ministry is facing cuts, but part of the bunch of deal you must, the additional funding for the event of unforeseen tremendous terry and crises such as the quick that'd tuck in 2023. the defense budget is increasing but only by one point. 2000000000 euros 5 below what some head held for their goal is if the legs back to the big lose last night was the bonus of out and just put it as a chancellor. 2022 pledge to immediately make more than 2 percent of the ttp available for the bonus. val and a $100000000000.00 and special funds will once again not to be kept annoyed, missed on the hudson. the deal comes clearly as a relief to the government, but germany's budget is quite across the finishing line, yet the cabinet is due to prove the draft on july 17th before it comes to
