this is deja vu news coming to you live from a new political service sets off a long belt in bowling support for germany's governing party just plummeted to the lowest level ever recorded only one in four people are happy with on the american grand coalition forces coming up politicians in bulgaria starting a final day of campaigning ahead of a highly charged election on sunday back to traditional parties are bracing for change as many voters turn to smaller parties work lies behind the shift.

and a writer from guadeloupe marjorie's condit wins the new academy literature prize it's standing in for the nobel prize this year which was cancelled over sexual harassment allegations. heard of a while will continue i'm under thought she a new survey here in germany is forcing politicians to sit up and take notice it shows support for the bodies of america's governing coalition plunging to its lowest level since records began many voters are stretching the region to smaller groupings such as the far right f.t. and the socially liberal environmental greens the new figures come ahead of a fiercely contested regional election and the sudden seat of bavaria there to voters are expected to punish the conservative c.s.u. party the. in the states for most of the post-war period so obviously

a seismic shift in germany's political landscape let's take a look at the numbers first if elections across germany were to be held today the survey shows this is how things stand chancellor merkel's conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. bloc is at twenty six percent down three percentage points from september the social democrats the other party in the coalition are likewise down three points now just with fifteen percent the greens in contrast gain three points with seventeen percent no change for the far right if she steady at sixteen and no change either for the free market f.t.p. and the left party both stay at ten percent. so what do these numbers need a political correspondent out of a side that is here to tell us welcome. even as it's great to see you know we see that the numbers are done for what it conditionally considered jimmie's to main

bodies what explains this decline well those are very dramatic numbers in fact we have to consider that this is one the social democrats who really suffered fewer were it only fifteen percent of the story glow in the history of these the survey here that this is a party that used to you know be one of the big proud parties off modern germany responsible for many policies that were imposed in recent decades they also lead several governments in germany used to be one of the strongest parties therefore also in germany and they now come out weaker than their former you junior partner the green party they also come old weaker than the far right a of the party who is new in palm and so that is a situation really unheard of which is turning the political landscape upside down we're seeing an increasingly fragmented party landscape in effect you're in germany

that we've known from other countries such as the netherlands perhaps but not from germany right listen to can look at a specific numbers about the current government vote is issued a damning condemnation there more than three quarters seventy six percent say they are dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the conservative social democratic coalition only twenty four percent satisfied or very satisfied with the government's. one of these are disastrous numbers for the governing coalition do the reflect anger against his governing coalition or their gender dissatisfaction with politicians and politics it's a bit of both really the grand coalition that is governing right now is a very extremely in fact unpopular option and that has been the case even before the elections but it's a situation that is getting more and more extreme voters are experiencing a coalition that apparently is more busy with fighting each other or fighting and arguing over issues such as migration rather than having this clear vision for the

future for the problems that are facing germany right now as a result of globalism globalization for instance and the older simply are getting tired of that there's also an increasing amount of voters who want a different political style they want different faces different leaders we are partially witnessing that already the head of the political group in the c.d.u. government in parliament. was just not reelected a very close medical ally by the way and certainly the number one choice of malco now instead a mouthful critic got elected as the leader of the political group so what we're seeing right now is certainly the end of the american era but the vision of what's happening next in the party we don't have we don't haven't see that yet and what we are also seeing is the rise of the file right populist if tea party people are saying given its popular agenda and the kind of things that they are saying they

are undermining democracy in germany do they have a point people who say that all of the overstating the case well many liberal democracies in western countries are challenged at this point in germany certainly no exception with that and we could just see that very recently we reported extensively about these and you announced the protests in chemist's i'm sure remember that and where you can see you know people from the political center actually supporting these. car rides protesters that is something new you see that the sound of the debate is getting louder the free press is accused of lying at the same time the government is just busy arguing it seems there is a loss of credibility and some voters are simply seeing that they don't feel represented anymore this if you look at another aspect which came out in the same way the flip side of the coalition slump is a resurgent green party and that's measured in their response to the next question how should the government act regarding climate policy of these other results three

quarters seventy four percent think the government should do more twenty two percent think the grand coalition is acting just right and only three percent say it should do less on climate change on a vote to what extent do these polling numbers explain a resurgent environmentally friendly green party well first of all i think we need to step back to the to see the bigger picture of the of the current government the current coalition was not medicals first choice when it came to negotiating a new government after the elections the first choice was a coalition made of the conservatives but then also the greens and the business friendly f.t.p. party and the letter parties stepped out pulled out of the negotiations and as a result the green party we're talking about right now benefited from that they seemed like a credible party like a possible alternative right now they're also not very far or extremely on the left or right side so for many voters this could be an alternative and then second the

environment as a topic is a very important issue for germans right now we had we just had massive protests in a western german forests where an energy company wanted to take down that forest to mine for coal in spite of the government have promised you know to cut down on fossil energy on top of that we have diesel bans imposed on german streets berlin just following a very recent verdict is one of these cities. and again the government promised to avoid that so medical you know promised all sorts of environmental improvements people feel she didn't really deliver on that but the greens could be the party who would do so in the future right all of us want to thank you very much for helping us to digest all those numbers which have come out on a boat recently but and caused quite a stir one must say thank you very much. now as those numbers emerge politicians in germany will be eagerly awaiting the outcome of the regional election in the

southern city of bavaria on sunday the conservative c.s.u. has been the dominant party there for much of the post-war period but there to have been shedding support the poll in bavaria could also have implications for chancellor angela merkel the c.s.u. a spot of conservative bloc our reporters the michelle and max went to field a look at pulse and take a look at why the people there appear to be shunning the government that has ruled them for so long. once a year the top figures in bavaria and politics gathered the grave of france he was a star was the man celebrated as something between the patron saint and godfather of modern burberry or. germany's interior minister hostin who is here too in berlin he's the trouble maker in our government and the very serious you party leader is already trying to distance himself from an

expected election defeat calls for his head are getting louder. there's an expectation that you should take responsibility this sunday if this goes badly for your see if you party will you do that. this isn't that nice of people to worry about these things but i didn't see a single election post with my face on it as i was driving up here. instead stayed premier marcos today is on the posters and in the spotlight he used to have a picture of france use of stars in his bedroom and still likes to quote him. there should be no space for democratic parties further right than us the far right here the campaign that strauss would have voted. for them so what he did for them he became. the stars family has criticized see is you leaders for failing to act

against the rise of the far right they had even started adopting rightwing rhetoric themselves it was hoping to take over as the sea issues new strongmen who have ensley put a stop to that. here in lower bavaria many voters have long fled from the c.s.u. and gone further to the right. although bavarian support for the far right if t. is power to see the region of deccan doff soared to get around thirty percent in last year's general elections making this time. around. the room is how did you parliamentary group please don't go if you did they can do it if he thought this was true thank you very much. he's got all the way from both is because you may say he is

a reactionary lexan about much more you could be very i like. i'll use my lives here supporting the f.t.'s bavarian shooting star katherine if no steiner is young traditional and i know apologetic about her key ambition. thus this will be the final nail in the coffin of the woman who wants to abolish germany uncle americal. often by. in bavaria too spoilt illegal immigrants ninety great people in small villages and towns. during her speech she cites figures suggesting migrants are ten times as likely to commit violent crimes you sizes crime statistics we are not aware of those where exactly did you get them from. the

official police statistic processed by our chief superintendent who is also a member of parliament. the statistics she quotes do not come to this conclusion fear is a driving force for many here tonight. i can no longer let my kids out on the street on their own with what i see on t.v. or hear on the radio. just can't do it anymore this is fortunately my. main issue is security here i have children and were really afraid for our children and. that's the mood marco suit is up against as he faces the deck and off crowd here he had knowledge is he can't stop a broad populist movement reaching the very thank you the sweet. wind of change blowing across europe i. challenge is established institutions.

and that spirit of change doesn't stop at germany's borders not at various borders it's sweeping across our country. to figure out the very year looms large over the october fest generally a politics free zone but the state election is being fought in the name of defending what it celebrates best and bavarians whole most dear. i. i i. i learned parties good quality of life. time outs. kids and being happy i took the fast. the i was in this area like the rest of germany emotions run high as soon as it comes to migration you see rossi at the migration debate is that many fearing that it variously over the crowd. causing brewery has been in the

family of lot to turfing yet and for more than five hundred years. german purity law makes all the beer recipes are as old as the traditions behind them the great concern here is that nationalism could threaten business. if people outside germany by having beer i want them to think of a beautiful country i want them to think of different kinds of people i want them to think of our culture our traditions i don't want them to think of violence and hate and racism these things like this so we have to watch a couple of what's going on and this cannot continue. visitors from around the world have been welcome at the abbey of auto boy for more than a thousand years. i'm

going to america is expected here today there are demonstrations against but also for her a fixture since what became known as the migration crisis in twenty fifteen. it's her only joint appearance with a conservative top candidates mark. merkel calls for confidence in being german as an antidote for fear of others. there's a lot of those and those who are no longer aware of their own foundations of course don't know how to integrate others and in this debate about islam i sometimes get the sense that some may have become jealous that others are living their religion while we forget ours. the very near lections used to be coronation style transfers of power but marco sudan knows he faces a fight in sunday's elections. believing the ets currently we are

seeing something totally different here in germany you know people should be happy and content because things have never been better in germany. despite that strong economy the public are unhappy and turning away from the scene as you in both directions current polls predict the greens could become bavaria second strongest political force and could well join the c.s.u. led government the top candidates see themselves as living proof that the left wing alternative for germany is possible but i am not to mention this model in this area has a great martyr to live and let live and i think that sums it up perfectly and of course we are open to the world where pro europe and we want to stay that way and i believe the citizens of the very up down the politicians another's spreading hate and fear. one hits a first. here in munich like the whole of europe. politicians are struggling to

understand the new public discontent many feel a new right wing mainstream. is open to the world with a very and soul that's how we should behave we don't need those nazis. the nazis to put on it. what we need to do is balance out the gap between rich and per year in germany and the rest of the world. i don't think the fourteenth of october will get us any closer to that. for the first time in german post-war history this very an election campaign smacks of pro change settlement at the very least that's expected to blow away the interior minister. but it could also deal another blow to grip on power. and he'd have his chief political editor who you saw there will be reporting live

during our coverage of the bavarian election on sunday let's have a look at some other stories making news this hour turkey has told washington it has all due and video proof that saudi journalists jamal khashoggi was murdered the recordings allegedly capture his torture and killing in the saudi consulate in istanbul to show he was once close to the kingdom's leadership but later became a critic he lived in the u.s. riyadh denies it was behind his disappearance. francis is accepted the resignation of a prominent cardinal in the wake of a sex abuse scandal donna really is accused off of protecting a child molesting priests and many of them in fact as bishop of pittsburgh from one thousand nine hundred to two thousand and six the pontiff has voiced his support for the continent who denies any wrongdoing. jim and police say the suspect arrested in the murder of a bulgarian journalist has. bhatia lee confessed the twenty year old man attacking

victoria line over the denied reaping and intending to kill her the suspect was arrested after fleeing to germany police do not believe the death is related to. normally today it would be the day we would hear who won the prestigious nobel prize for literature not this this year there is a substitute prize and it has gone to mudie's condé a writer from guadalupe in the caribbean maurice condi is known for historical fiction and she's a scholar of francophone literature the most celebrated book is a novel she often focuses on gender and race. the nobel prize for literature was not given to by the swedish academy in the wake of sexual housman scandal instead a group of swedish cultural representatives set up a provisional body to ana and outstanding right now to talk some more about this

prize i have with me david leavitt's from disk western david a tell us about this is when and about what her writing well now these calls does exactly what this new academy set out to honor she writes about the people of the world and that's where they wanted to distinguish themselves from the swedish academy that normally gives out the nobel prize. writes about gender or culture. and race in historical novels that really span the globe from of the building of the panama canal to the goo empire and molly even the salem witch trials and she's she's a writer who's received all the francis top prizes guadeloupe her her homeland is actually part of france and she's an author that conceivably could have won the nobel prize had it existed this year obviously the nobel prize for literature is very prestigious does this substitute prize have the same kind of weight and signal . you know i think the idea is nice and the idea is

a good one it is to say the swedish academy couldn't get their act together this year and why should literature have to suffer and what they've done that's really cause they really involved librarians across wheaton who put together the long list and then they put it to a vote online so readers all over the globe could vote on the shortlist which was then decided on by a jury which i think is a great idea and now will we re talking about this when or next year or this award next year. and that will be of course presuming if the nobel prize for literature will be back next year how's that looking well that's what the swedish academy has promised and i want to believe them let's just quickly revisit what happened there was a huge scandal that stems from the husband of one of the members of the swedish academy being accused by slews of women of abusing them he was even accused by the swedish media of groping the crown princess he was accused by the secretary of the swedish academy of harassing her his wife was

a member of the academy and was accused of misusing funds so there's a lot going on about sparks huge debate basically a large number of the academy eighteen members were either expelled or had to back out and they say that they're getting their act together and that we will have a nobel prize next year i want to believe them i also really want to see the movie about this story because i think it's going to be a good yeah but i want to see the prize back makes it david's events thank you so much. american skier lindsey vonn has announced she will retire when the upcoming season ends in march the thirty three year old is one of the most well known names in women's sport with eighty two was cup restriction she's looking to beat the record of eighty six in a fine is season. three winter olympic medals including gold in the downhill at vancouver in two thousand and ten she also won two one championship goes in ghana the overall it was time to four times and many will remember she famously brought

her dog new see too many of those events. now kristie of joins me for business these am good news it seems on the equity markets because that's right i'm retired lobel stocks have largely rebounded following thursday's massive selloff european shares are trading higher where the germany is a blue chip index dax up about half a percent those gains followed a partial recovery. hong kong's hang seng index surged more than two percent and the market in shanghai was up almost one percent among the issues that have been weighing on investors' minds are the prospect of more interest rate hikes in the united states at the trade dispute between china and the u.s. . and this rao could become even more severe figures show that china trade surplus with the united states has hit

a record high and that's despite the partial introduction of us tariffs on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods in the month of september china exported thirty four billion dollars more goods to the united states than it important financial experts have warned that the global economy could face turmoil if the world's top two economies do not resolve their dispute. earlier a correspondent for the notion spoke with the vitamin that of germany's central bank at the meeting of the international monetary fund the world bank in bali mystified man said resolving trade disputes would be easier if the world trade organization was reformed its key to strengthen the multilateral trade mechanism in the w t o but we all agree. that. issues that have to be addressed one would be for instance the protection of intellectual property rights but also addressing over capacities in some sectors especially the steel sectors have to be discussed but again it's key to rely on this much

a literal or move based mechanisms and not to resort to bilateralism. and on trump's eyes a major bone of contention remains germany's large trade surplus which is still up hold that this surplus is mainly due to energy prices foreign exchange rates and the quality of german products as you have argued before so is there no need for germany to move at all this is a bit of a simplification of my position of course i mean the point i've made before was that it's key to look whether the trade balance is a result of trade distortions of market distortions or not and in the case or germany i don't see these distortions basically the current account is the result of numerous millions of individual decisions especially of course investment saving patterns and then there's a discussion to be to be helt i mean the question is how can we strengthen

investment in germany on market based on the market mechanisms and of course public infrastructure also plays a role in this context and this is currently discussed within the government and there are also decisions taken of the suspect so and thank you very much for talking to w thank you very much. if you don't know shit reporting from bali there adam every manner of the top story we're following for you at this hour support for germany's governing party says plummeted to the lowest level ever recorded a new poll shows only one in four people is happy with the americans. and the news coming to you live from berlin we have a fresh polls and coming up at the top of the hour for now thanks for watching well for your.
