to defy stereotype the meeting going to join the stories we don't often hear told by the people who let them know my joy. well, let me professional some of the boxes. this is europe. on al jazeera. ah, the counting is under way in germany's general election with forecasts predicting and neck and neck contests to replace. i'm going to merkel as chancellor. ah, i'm fully becky boy, you're watching al jazeera life from 2 also ahead the downs in protest in tunisia, in demonstrations. both or and again,
2:01 am
the president moves to consolidate is hold on power morning in the occupied west bank after 5 palestinians killed by israeli forces in raids in jeanine and my love and a fuel supply crisis due to a tank driver shortage forces the u. k. government to issue thousands of emergency . ah, thank you very much for joining us. vote counting is underway. germany's election and early results show the social democrats with a very narrow lead over outgoing chancellor, anglo merkel. christian democrats. the race is so tight, it's impossible to predict. will be the next chancellor, and which coalition will govern europe's largest economy. that boston begins our coverage from berlin. and he was welcome for a man who is hoping to become germany next leader after close one race all of shows
2:02 am
with confidence in lots of time to left social democrats who the 1st victory and parliament elections in more than 16 years isn't. i know park bible peptide, the vice move on to get. we're a pragmatic party that knows healthy, govern. we're confident policy that wants to work to ensure that we have a base, a future in germany. but we've also showing that we have what it takes to govern a country that is unity supported by everyone. and that this was the case. i would like to thank you for that. for me or to me off the don anglo merkel, last minute efforts to attract support for the conservative christian democratic candidate and lush. it seemed to fade off like last a star to the campaigns to see to you. and it's very insist the party ended up in a fight weights. we chose to social democrats. i should say, he's not happy with the results, but still wants to lead correlation talks. this type, weird and we are others that we will do everything possible to build a conservative led government because germany now needs
2:03 am
a future coalition that modernize is our country. and for the 1st time in history that coalition will need 3 parties to govern america, least the 1st month of political landscape. and while her former coalition partners, the social democrats, are optimistic, they will be having the next government options are on the table. and difficult coalition talks law, you have not, not only closely watched in germany, but also in the rest of europe, where many has long looked on the la merkel for leadership a very, very long to do live. busy next to the next jobs, and the difficulty is that they're probably going to find themselves leading a very fractious, possibly quite incoherent correlation, which could make decision making even more difficult. this good well mean that europe's largest economy might be a little less politically stable than it was in the past decades. and that boss enjoy this now live from berlin step by an evening of high political drama way you
2:04 am
are and still very unclear whole formulation. government and it could take a while. absolutely, it's 1 o'clock here in the morning in berlin, and there's no indication at all who will be the new chancellor, who will be the successor of glamour lead the social democrats, as you saw, sort of celebrating already. but even the chancellor ship of law shows the finance minister under merkel was the leader of the social democrats. it's, it's not sure at this stage it's really still and that can that raise to frank meant that political landscape that the glove merkel is leaving behind after 16 years and it will be really tough coalition talk. last time the coalition talk took 6 months in 2017 while it's but they said that it could take months this time again . and so make to get some clarity to this very unclear situation. here in germany,
2:05 am
i'm joined by political analyst boca very much. thank you very much for joining us . we have basically 2 things that happened today, right? germany chose for change if you look at the weight of the social democrats, but also for stability. looking at of course the c, d. u. last christian, democrats lost, but still many people voted for them as well. so change of stability where the germany want to go know that's definitely the open question also if you look into the personality, so all of sholtes who looks like the winner of this evening, even by the very small margin is s p d came 1st as it looks like right now, he's pretty much, he gets celebrated and cultivated kind of himself as a copy of uncle america to even imitate it's her very famous hand movement. so in this regard, it's very open. so obviously, germans one continuation in a way. but at the same time, it's very obvious that america was holding back
2:06 am
a lot of innovation and there's a lot of need for germany to move a big step forward. but your direction is very, it's open as you said. so i'm going to merkel, of course leaves quite a strong legacy after 16 years. but if we look at what she left behind, this really fragmented political landscape, is that also one of her mistakes you think? i think at least it shows actually that she was pretty much kind of outside of the party assist them. so she herself even in public speech a couple of weeks ago called herself okay, the party, which is close to me and then realize saying no my party because she meant to see to you. so, but that's exactly so people voted for the cdo because they want to have mirka. she gave people what we finally call the kind of motif feeling. so she was the one mother, the mother actually of the nation. and we don't have any royal so, but in a way actually she, she in herself person needed the kind of ok,
2:07 am
you can trust me. i am uncle america. but the moment she stepped aside and was clear that she's not for vote any longer. so the cd you could not answer the question to voters, what do you get if you vote for cd you yesterday made that cover, move that by all our soul copying angle americans saying ok if you want something like i'm going to merkel vote for all of so maybe i'm little bit boring, maybe a little bit calm, but that's exactly obvious what german voters wanted to have because s p d a couple of weeks ago were really lost on the 3rd place. and now they ended up as the winner. so obviously, as i said, it's really torn country right now between change and continuation. and the next weeks we'll show and a little bit more on which direction we might have to. yeah, you're talking about 2 weeks, but it could possibly take months, right. thank you. so much for joining us. so we are hearing in the next few hours. a more clear result of these elections that really have hold held to germany
