please visit the awards official website at w w, w dot h t a dot q a the . ready ready the hello, i'm about this, and this is the news on life from del hop coming up in the next 16 minutes. conservative free thanks, much declare as victorian gemini, the general election, consigning shotzel assaults is building politics towards the worst of feet since the 2nd world war also has ukraine's presidents. luxury is an excuse to if he's willing to step down on an exchange for nato membership is 0 to $5.00 times to be occupied westbank for the 1st time in 20 years,

saying it will not allow palestinians to return fast tens of thousands of people to attend a public funeral for his father's late later house on the slot. is there any error strikes? 5th, southern loving on his for india have beaten pock hassan crickets, champions trophy. essentially from here i colleague guiding india to victory illumination, the, the conservative opposition the, the physics max has declared victory in germany's general election. sending johnson the off schultz is running party towards the west defeat since the 2nd world war mazda is conservative. at c, d. u is expected to win almost 29 percent of the votes, putting him on track to become the next chancellor of the biggest economy shots. his center left, the social democrats is predicted to take the 3rd place much just calling for quick

coalition tools. of the main thing is to re establish a government in gemini, that's capable of acting as quickly as possible with a good poem and tree majority. because the friends the world out there is not waiting for us, and it's not waiting for legacy coalition folks and negotiations. we need to be able to act quickly again, so that we can do the right thing at home, so that we've present in europe again. and so that the world realizes the gym and he is once more reliably government, meanwhile is but it has taught ignited for the german for white as fighters alternative for germany. faulty a secured more than 20 percent of votes putting it in 2nd place. that's not more than 9 points on the 2021 election band, the best results for the far right party in germany for 18 years. do you have friends, we have achieved a historic result? we have never been stronger at the national level. we have become the 2nd strongest

force as the alternative for germany. and we have now firmly established ourselves as a peoples policy of a more in a step by since joining us though from violating. so the real results look pretty much set in stone, and it's going to be interesting. now, the mood and the months comp, ballier was obviously jubilant. but there's a long road ahead. the yes, exactly. i'm still here at the christian democrats, the headquarters in berlin, and there's some small town operations still going on, but there's also the sorry, much sense of urgency. so anybody can, that's who i was on stage earlier tonight. he's had, as not much time too far too. we need to make the government as soon as possible. europe is waiting for germany and the world is not the way to sort of as simply a, sorry, a clear sense of urgency. and you could also see that from nurse's campaign in the last few days, he's was much more presenting himself as a, are you

a fee and leader to become a european leader because of the very much changing world on or, and also the different position coming from the united states towards you offend towards nato, but the most is an experience of person and government never beat and government. he's been in politics for a long time. he's been in business, but he was sidelined by former chancellor on the merkel. she thought he was too conservative, she's from the same far to the question, democrats. so then he was out of politics for a while. so there will be no a more conservative when in germany that's for sure. and the 2nd part, yes, you said the ultimate for germany has also already reached out to merge directly saying that she wants to, that they want to govern as well as together with the cd you. but the most has made it very clear. there will be no government to gather with the far right. the is a firewall here in germany and play since the whole parties have simply as we now

for 2 lots of fall, right parts and government into i'm the ever again i to what extent does that kind of limit the options when it comes to a coalition how's it going to play out over the coming weeks? the well that's very unclear at this moment to maybe come and clear it in the next few hours because of all the science on the small all parties. and they need a 5 percent impala as far as the size of the files to be part of file limit. and it's a few far to swap. we actually into office that 5 send and that's all will be found on if that's going to be too far too correlation or if that needs to be a bigger coalition, that is something definitely the mattress really not hoping for because and the last government of elections this 3 way for relation had a fairly much of a many problems to reach from promises. and that was one of the reasons that the government really didn't perform so well in the last 3 and a half years. so the biggest marxist, very much hoping it would be

a 2 party solution, but he comes to say anything about this until maybe in the morning when we know more about what the smaller parties have have done generally plays of course, a significant role in the european union, what the other european union members looking at when they're looking at what's been happening in germany? what does it mean for europe while they have fairly much, been watching this election? no, sorry. yeah. carefully, because yes, germany is the largest economy here in europe. and it was a bit of a we need are here in germany for the last couple of years on of charles was not seen as soon as he repeating later that the continent needed at this time, looking at the war and ukraine, the position towards russia and now even more so with the united states positioning as itself differently towards 05, germany doesn't know if it's still can rely on the united states far as the funds

and civic mark as actually set off. but this election, when does he, once you're up to be in dependence, uh, looking at defense from the united states. and that's why the firm statement, because he's always been seen that's very much pro atlantic, fairly much flows through the united states. but he's very much realizes now that we rely on the us any longer. so he's going to be supporting more the expenses on the funds. also more support for a ministry support for you. right. and so that's going to be a shift, and that's at least what's expected. and also important to notice that there's one, there was a very difficult relationship between germany and france in the last couple of years old of charles, who didn't get a long time a while with the french president a manuel my call. so that some expectation now that max would be in a better position to restore this so called france germany axes. and that's very important. 1 at the spring, so you're in this changing world order stuff for now. thank you very much of the

start button. they're talking to us from tylen. marco vincent 0 is a jew political risk specialist and a global strategy adviser. he's joining us from london. thanks a lot for being with us. the french and mex has already said that his priority is unity in europe to counter into fins from the us or russia was likely to change in german foreign policy. i think the main thing with german foreign policy now is to be able to have great to create a sense of more stability in europe in order to give you your a great a presence on the world stage at the present time. we've seen them recently, and actually in the last 3 years since schultz, that's been chancellor. germany has germany has been, it has not been firm. it's not had a large presence. it hasn't been usually. europe depends upon german leadership. germany is the 3rd largest economy in the world, is the largest economy in europe and,

and it basically is the largest democracy in europe. and then when you have a weak germany with no firm leadership that impacts all of europe and are also impacts global stability as a result width merch, it's clear all along with the result would be that he would be the next chance. so the question is, the coalition, the composition of his coalition, if it winds up being a grand a coalition with 2 parties with marks and she the you sent the right and the send the left. and that, that puts them in a stronger position. if it has to go into a 3 party coalition, it gets in a week of position and then that week of is ition. it's the previous government. it was a 3 party coalition. so the main thing is the main question is, where we form that correlation with one of the party or 2 other parties with the after he's already said that he's not going to have any truck with the correlation as far as the f. c. the alternative for germany policy is concerned. i understand that all the shots is being reported says the social democrats are going to be part

of a correlation with the cd. why that is kind of limiting the nazis options, but i want to ask you about the impact to the if day on this because it looks as though they've got about 20 percent of the vote putting them in 2nd place. so whatever the composition of an event shall coalition, what influences the i have day going to be able to bring on the way that germany moves forward a great listen a of the double it's fault. it's main policies were restricting or just stopping migration disbanding germany from the european union and basically stopping a few crane dozer 3 t although no party in germany, the mean party said they will not get into a coalition with them. and even at the european level within the european parliament, the other right wing parties until now, i've refused to enter in any form of alliance with the a f, the, the a f d, as how to navigate impact on german political debate. the goal, the goal posts of shifted to the right, particularly on migration,

went by. you have all the major parties right now talking about the migration so low. they may not be in power, that having a heavy influence on the could be within germany. and also within europe itself. so you don't need to be in government many times, you just have enough numbers and have enough influence. and you can, you can shift the debate that they've been doing in recent years. not as inhabiting, and his coalition eventually will inherit a germany for the economy. once the, like the leading economy in europe is not much, much weaker. it's got crumbling, infrastructure, the very norm, as infrastructure projects across germany, the are requiring attention. it's going to be a difficult balancing act, isn't it formats, and who's causation to focus on its international reputation and his role within the you and at the same time, of course, satisfy the needs of germans themselves. of this political, economic of people within germany, political and economic people in europe and also, and its relations,

particularly with the united states. and the, the issue is kenny and jack, enough diplomatic and political capital, political the capital at home, and have enough diplomatic capital within europe and within the world. and what to do with united states, just to, to start a new beginning, your goal repress or if we start a new button in that, in for germany, in europe and in germany in the world. and so far with which shell 2 had 3 years of be call it somewhat rudderless. now it wasn't firm. and as a result, germany, i think germany in europe has been in big problems in recent times because of that lack of leadership and merch, his ability to change that to begin that shift a, like i said, we'll begin with the nature of his coalition and is ability to work with other major european countries to work with france, make cronies weak at home,

but he still has a lot of influence. the presidential system in france allows him a lot of more room to maneuver in foreign policy. georgia maloney eventually sent a right leader and then you also have a neighbor in poland. and although you, u. k is not part of the european union anymore. merger merge made it clear is that as we cannot rely on the us as much as we used to, we have to reach out to the french and to the british to consolidate a much stronger defense position. and also with regards to nuclear deterrence, east germany is not in really a power, it's had nuclear power plants, which it to its own car, to its own damage. it cut down a lot of its nuclear powers band, a lot of it. but the idea is that with the u. k. in france, banding together the create that you know, he can latch onto that nuclear deterrent, that the french and the u. k until now are a will to provide as opposed to the us. we're living in very, very a, with a new,

with all the world order and you're struggling at this time. and without that, german leadership, europe, as much as i much, much advantage the fragmentation that's taking place internationally. it's between countries and there's also fragmentation within countries. and the result of this, the german election is representatives of that type of fragmentation. lots of we have free fields. i'm so sorry for breaking into there, but i'm certainly conscious of the time, but by appreciate you taking the time to break that down for small companies in 0. thank you very much indeed. thank you. the president luxury is a nice guy. he says he's willing to give up his position if it means peace in ukraine, saying he would exchange his departure for admission into nato. the statement comes, those relations between the us and russia have changed enterprises and donald trump . and so far lodge, they left the keys out of discussions on the ukraine. mark child stratford has this

report from keith of to well when months of ukraine policy changes on the us president donald trump. after watching europe scramble to adjust to a new reality for 5th grade as president someone motion they to latest cool, like here of but trump goals that dictate to would have this to say. yes, you want to know if it's about peace and ukraine and he really wants me to leave my position. i'm ready to do this and exchange for peace. secondly, i can exchange it for nato membership. if there is such an opportunity, i'll do, it's immediately without a long conversation about this. i'm focused on ukraine security today and nothing 20 years. i don't plan to be in power for decades, so often not being invited to negotiations between us and russian officials in saudi arabia. an officer rejecting a draft deal that would have offered more us military aid in exchange for rights to ukraine's mineral wealth deal,

which do you training and leadership does act security guarantees. zalinski insisted on something. trump, a sofa roundly rejected us troops on the ground as part of an adventure peacekeeping mission mandel low. you could, as my logic was the following. next, if you believe that the economic deal is a part of the security guarantees, and why can't they be boots on the ground? we have your business interest to me, it seems logical. i said that the united states, but we did not discuss it yet. as we did not receive the responses with the washer . sure. flat out oscar. well this is the ukrainian lead is response julia who attribute don't know. what do i want from donald trump? i think that if we support and believe what he's saying, because i want the same as he wants to in the war as soon as possible. we have partners and i want him to be on our side. i don't want just mediation because i think it's not enough coaching russia little ukraine describes as the largest wave

of driving attacks across the country in 2 and a half years. so then he's saying he's willing to do a deal on his presidency for nato membership shows, perhaps just how much is changed in recent weeks need is don't normally negotiate and public. but perhaps zalinski is thinking that with this you as president, he has to make a grand gesture to make his voice heard, child stuff without your 0. give. try to jo, castro. it has more on the us response. us treasury secretary scot this sent who presented the minerals deals to kiva says he is quite helpful for an agreement this week. the way that he describes it though, is very different from trump. the sense of the us wants a financial partnership with ukraine. ukraine would put its natural resources revenue into a reconstruction fund to which in this case the us would have economic and

governance rights. now what does that mean in terms of profit sharing? well, no numbers were given by the treasury secretary, so we have previous reported on the 5050 deal. that's the us presented in ukraine flat out rejected. on friday, trump said that the us is asking for ukraine's rare earth and oil include anything we can get there. still, no mention of any security guarantees for ukraine as part of the steel those some. and we will say that the mere presence of us economic interest and ukraine could serve as a deterrent to russia. meanwhile, the us defense secretary repeated again on sunday. the us will not send troops to ukraine. hydro castro, alta 0 washington state, and elena is chief type of magic correspondent for europe for the new york times. he's joining us live from berlin. thank you very much indeed for being with us, steven. i want to ask you about this deal that the president zaleski is offering says you're going to step down if nature accepts ukraine. how much of an offer is

that given the fact that president cruising definitely doesn't want ukraine is part of nato. but the us, the head of neutral himself is already said that deal is not on the table. well, i don't take it very seriously to be honest. i mean, i think the landscape is trying to make a more whole point. i think he's trying to walk a very delicate line between being so angry with trumps. he can barely speak and understanding that he can't be angry with trump in public. he already got into trouble for suggesting that trump lives in a is a russian. this information bubble. so he needs to be united states eventually. but uh, us, as i'm gonna let you grain into nato, nato wouldn't require a unanimous mode. and it wouldn't just be the us that wouldn't accept ukraine now, particularly, or ukraine, where there isn't

a final peace settlement. so i think he's just trying to make a point. i mean, the russians to try and make a point to, i mean, monday is the 3rd anniversary of their invasion and they are blasting ukraine with everything they've got with drones, missiles and so on. my thing trying to make the point as they often try to make to ukrainians, that you know, the russians prepared to keep going with the war. but i think your credit is prepared to keep going with the war 2. i mean, ukraine, this agency as well. i mean, they don't have to listen to everything. washington says, i want to ask you about this deal for minerals, which i mean keith kat on the, the, the, the invoice is being detailed to go to ukraine on behalf of the us. seems to have gone with its been quite a specific kind of shopping list. i know that it was in charge of arrows and you know, rear out minerals and oil and anything else you can get. but it does seem to be fairly specific, unfurnished parts just, i think, in the last 24 hours you've trains been saying about $350000000000.00 worth of

warehouse and other material is actually under line. but russia currently occupies . where does that leave this deal? well, i do wonder, i have to say, i mean it was the lens you brought up the big sprite that do you, i should be interested in ukraine because of its minerals and so on. and the trump people have left on that was almost like kind of rack is tearing off or like you give us half of your wells. and that's because we've spent so much money on you already and maybe we'll try to protect you down the road. so it's really, it's very, you know, is the press united states and it really matters quite a lot. but that has the landscape says, i can't find a way my nations wells for no, for nothing in return. and if the us it isn't, it's kind to give him security guarantees itself and won't put boots on the ground

and then it's not prepared to defend its own investment. so i think he's really stuck. he's, he's in the very hard place. and trump is, is pushing in this scenario, dramatic way. i don't think it ends that way, to be honest. but when the secretary of the treasury, that the new one apparently debatable, didn't yet, but puts a paper down in front of the land scan. so as you have to sign and so once you, so i haven't even read it yet. no, it's, it's not the way one normally treats allies. i want to ask you about the broader picture with regard to cx. 5 talks at the moment of the as far as the rest of the world is concerned, it seems to be happening between the 2 presidents of russia and the united states, to the exclusion of the you, the exclusion of ukraine itself. in terms of practicalities, is it actually possible for the seas for it to be implemented and not for ukraine

and the not to be part of that process? you know, i don't think it is, and i don't think washington intends that to happen. is these thoughts in riyadh? i'm sorry for my voice, but these thoughts been re odd, were actually intended to try to set up a meeting with trump and put in and to fill out the russians about what might be acceptable. what kind of negotiation could, could even get started and to make sure putting would engage in that negotiation. the russian initial position is quite hard line. and i don't think there's a real plan yet even to negotiate. but the americans, trump, has been clear lately to say that when there isn't negotiation, ukraine will certainly be at the table. he hasn't said the same for the are in union, but we'll see, i mean,

they haven't even built the table yet. let alone invited anyone to it. we really appreciate your giving us the benefit of your expertise and your thoughts on this, steven allen, thank you so much for your time. bye to the physical size. it's expanding its military offensive across the occupied west bank and its preparing for its troops to remain in several palestinian refugee camps for the next a year. for the 1st time in more than 20 years. you know, i mean, it says it's deploying a tank division to the northern parts of the territory for more than a month is very forces have been waiting palestinian homes and destroying critical infrastructure. 40000 palestinians have been forced from their homes, as well as defense minister says the soldiers will prevent palestinians from returning the farthest as a novelist is ready,

forces obtained at least 8 palestinians. these rarely mellow trains being carrying a daily targeted range, searching communities and making arrests. no, i didn't reports from the jordanian capital, i'm on, which is fair because these really government on the palestinian authority of band alters either from reporting inside israel and the occupied westbank tanks are rolling into jeanine. that's after israel announced it will introduce tags to the already ongoing is really military offensive against the northern occupied westbank . this comes in the context of statements made by these really minister of defense . who said that as well would not allow the more than 40000 palestinians is really forces have approved it from pulled kind of engineer to return to their homes in the refugee camps in those cities. of course, israel has been setting records throughout the past year and beyond that the

occupied westbank, changing the geography of the place. and now with these displacement changing the composition of the cities and the refugee comes while bonding the work of the un agency under that is supposed to serve the palestinian refugees. the ability of those displays to cope with this approaching end of society to help them is quite limited. over the past 16 months, israel has shrunk the palestinian economy by 28 percent by introducing severe movement restrictions by carrying out constant military assaults against various palestinian cities. and now that is where it is promising to its fund and deepen these military assaults. many are wondering where and how they can seek assistance with all the data. i'm not, it says it was failure to release 620 palestinian prisoners on saturday. is a blatant violation of last month's guys

a ceasefire agreement. almost upheld that side of the deal by releasing 6 is really captives. many palestinians expected to see their loved ones on saturday. now they've been left destroyed the national level since the early stages we've been afraid to the israel wouldn't stick to the steel. yes. today, what is real data wasn't acceptable to the mediators to the chip sions. and the guitar is the world's waiting for the 1st phase of this deal to be completed. the blog most allowing the release of the prisoners yesterday was purely because of the hatred they have for us. this is because they are war. criminals don't know where they don't want the families of the palestinian prisoners to feel joy. they want to talk to them. they want to deprived them of joy heavy. oh me, i have that. a couple is whom has the latest on eunice these where the decision has caused widespread outrage growing distrust among palestinians for many palestinians, the belief that this is not only about at the late release, but it's

a noble examples, but how israel consistently on the minds agreements made during the past few months and i of these, these far agreements and it's absolutely understood among palestinians, that is what may be trying to test. how much does the response possibly provoking some sort of the breakdown of the currency, small agreement to just defies the military actions against the gaza strip? well, many families understand clearly that is really mike completely trying to gain more concessions from us before fulfilling this part of these, these far agreements spot for many families will have been anxiously waiting just the dates have been widely facing on some tentative dates during the ongoing it overwhelming tension that has been widely seen, but we need to realize how much that might impact on the release of palestinian

destinies and the future of the sci fi agreements. a target composer, i'll just call you and is kind of saw as bala has held a funeral. so it's a long time leader in the lebanese capital. tributes have been paid to hoss on. that's what all a lot the group for 32 years. but the organization also use the occasion as a show of strength. tens of thousands of supporters have been there, is that a lot of reports and they would they came to say their final good bye to hoss and the throw. a man many here called a leader of father their protector. nearly 5 months since his assassination, by, as well as the law, is holding a public funeral for their long time leader supporters heated the call to show their allegiance and converged in and around they boot sports stadium. the event also honors hash himself a dean who led the group for a week after and as well as killing before he too,

was assassinated days later has the law as using this as an opportunity to project strings after israel killed many of its top leaders and thousands of its fighters during a more than year long war. during the funeral, isabel showed the balance of power is in its favor. its fighter jets flew low with rumbling noise is heard by the crowd. in what is ready? defense ministry said was a message to those who attacked as well as well as new leadership, which remain defiant, has promised to complete the smallest pass. but its new leader named as him, made no mention of resuming armed conflict. no, a spot cannot be a lot of how does it this group presented a new phase with different methods. the state should take responsibility to stop is really a tax label. hezbollah was the show, it has political strength, but it is facing challenges to maintain its power info,

score politics much has changed. unlike in the past that hasn't been able to impose its will. there's a new leadership back by the united states.
