[000:00:00;00] live . this is deja vu news night from brooklyn a political earthquake in bavaria closes in the wealthy conservative german state have turned away from the sea its year and given their votes to parties at both ends of the political spectrum also coming up. made new deadline causes in syria

a demilitarized zone to protect civilians was due to take effect on monday but they are no signs that hardline sirens have started withdrawing. i'm christine one well welcome to the program german voters have scientology a call for change from the southern state of bavaria off to elections sunday projected results show i'm going to medicals conservative allies the c.s.u. has lost its absolute majority off to decades of dominance in the region the c.s.u. gained less than forty percent of the vote that's a drop of more than ten percent the greens also in a brazen huge gains now becoming the second strongest potty in bavaria the free vote says that's a coalition of independent candidates trailed them with more than eleven percent the far right a fifty is set to enter the various parliament for the first time they've jumped onto the scene taking more than ten percent of the vote to support the social

democrats lost the they have to support and dropped to less than ten percent votes for the if t.p. and the left party rose only slightly. now here are some of the reactions coming in from the winners and the losers off of the therion state election. dismay at a watershed moment the c.s.u. loses his absolute majority various unswerving loyalty to the party is over their opposition to uncle america's migration policy didn't pay off in the vote. sometimes for months after we've had a bit of a painful result even if we still have to wait for the election night to end we accept the result with humility and we need to learn from the result we'll analyze everything closely one thing is certain despite some predictions despite some discussions despite some comments the c.s.u.

hasn't just become the strongest party that also has the clear mandate to govern. for the greens there was jubilation. but there you are again needs a political party that solves people's problems rather than constantly causing new problems and that dear friends is why this result has already changed the very many many thanks for that. doom and gloom meanwhile for the s.p.d. they lost over half their voter share in the leadership seemed in shock this is moving to need it's a video defeat it means we couldn't convince the voters we weren't able to win the competition between the parties. that has to be analyzed at all levels but there certainly wasn't support from the federal level on the contrary we weren't able to benefit from the policy dispute between the c.d.u. in the c.s.u. . for months the c.s.u.

had question federal migration policy to the cost of coalition partners the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. the f.d.a. will no sit in fifteen of the sixteen regional parliament. they are what. anyone who voted f.t. today in bavaria is saying that america all must go ladies and gentlemen i. the regional elections in hessen are in two weeks merkel's creaking coalition will remain for that long but the softening of support for germany's formerly strong conservatives is likely to feed the growth of other political forces. all right for more on this i'm joined by our political correspondent kate brady kate it's great having you in studio did this come as a shock for these traditional parties surely massive it really wasn't quite as much of a surprise as you might first think of course we've had a lot of opinion polls ahead of these elections and this really reflects what is an

ongoing trend across germany and also in neighboring e.u. countries european countries at the moment and that is the erosion of mainstream parties and we're seeing both on a federal level and down in bavaria tonight that the support for the traditional main parties or the conservatives in the social democrats is really nose diving and instead we're seeing this fragmentation of germany's political landscape and we seem people moving to what really are in the biggest and the fringes of germany's political spectrum so people many voters left the conservative c.s.u. who of course are also the very insistent party to merkel's conservatives many of them went to the to the right to the right to the far right but also the greens won a lot of votes off the back of the mistakes that were made by the s.p.d. the social democrats and the c.s.u. the conservatives were talking about the very this is one of the wealthiest states

here in germany indeed in europe as well but people these still seem unsatisfied with their government's work why is that well these are reading interesting point actually that this isn't really connected to the economy it's all which of course often drives voter says and it was very interesting that if you look there's always an infra test poll came out this evening that shows sunday evening now which actually listed migration which was an issue which kept coming up time and time again during these election campaigns voters actually listed that as the fall of most important issue in terms of what affected how they voted instead they were more focused on issues of domestic issues. education and housing and environment and it's parties like the greens who have really they had quite a strong campaign in really getting in touch with this kind of nice now a days really of making sure that they were addressing the issues which people really care about but of course this movement away from these main parties is now

a european wide trend and our chief political editor of the cook and she was down in bavaria on sunday evening and she actually spoke to marcus vague about exactly that and he of course is the leader of the europeans european peoples party in the european parliament we can look. probably have european wide the pregnant patients we have european wide from left and right rising populism and even extremists in the national listened on the floor that's why germany is not an island in such a political framework and that's why we have to give an answer but the clear answer must be to show people a vision to show people a future intonation for what they want what they have as challenges in that they did life on the table and if we can give positive ions as if we can convince was good reasons then i think we can be still a successful was a sees you too late to change its rhetoric which at times was a space is the similar to the far right if. the immigration thing is all over your old one of the dominating issues nobody can can award

a debate about migration but what we have to do from now on is adult about the results will be a chief would be did but the minute in the last three years of the two thousand and fifteen it's achievements on the turkish border on the military and border that we really reduce the numbers of illegal migrants to the european union dramatically so let's talk about success stories that is it pays for winning back the trust. what does all this mean for germany's national government here and that this is certainly going to send tremors back here and this isn't the first time another test of merkel's power ahead of that conservative and social democratic government but of course looking ahead we do have more state elections coming up in hester in just a couple of weeks and that will again be another kind of a take of the temperature another litmus test for exactly how german faces a feeling right now and that really could have even bigger effects of course

running up there in tests is one of merkel's biggest longtime allies so that would be a huge blow to her if her conservatives in the state of has then lost that majority that as well so definitely one to watch right that is if you want to watch and we will be watching that here and. that's all correspondent political cars going to thank you for your time. now some of the other stories making news around the world a year officials say breaks of negotiators have not yet sealed a deal on britain's divorced him this despite a new speculation filled by a surprise visit to brussels by britain's breaks that secrete that strong make rob and a meeting often besiktas from the twenty seven other member states officials say talks will resume at wednesday's e.u. summit. and two of the most contentious figures within the roman catholic church have been made saints by pope francis both pope all the six and the murdered salvadoran archbishop oscar romero were canonized in

a few kilometers from here an uncomfortable thought for. in twenty twelve he fled from islam is fighters in this town singe are in the south of italy and province now the syrian army has regained control after bitter fighting what remains is rebel sadness and anger against the islamists. how could there be reconciliation with the people who killed my relatives and forced me to flee how could i ever sit down with them that would truly be a bitter pill to swallow. since i was once home to thousands today there are just two hundred residents most of them loyal supporters of president assad no one here really believes in a political solution with the islamists they believe military force is the only language the is the misunderstand even if it means death and suffering. and any might be ted you can't trust them they're liars i don't want

a political solution i hope the army takes control of the whole province such that we can have some peace the whole. these men are ready for action at all times they are part of the christian militia on the front line in southern it live they are under assad's control and their mission is to defend christians against islamist fighters the islamists are supposed to withdraw by monday along with their heavy weapons at least that was part of turkey and russia's deal to create a de-militarized zone here but the christian militias leader says the islamists are actually reinforcing their defenses rather than withdrawing. holding the ceasefire that was agreed to by the islamist militants are digging trenches and building bunkers war we wouldn't normally tolerate that is but our orders are not to intervene for now things are quiet on the frontline the ceasefire

has bought some time but not trust and president assad supporters don't want to see his victories against the islamists stop at it live even if it means risking heavy casualties. sports now and novak djokovic continued he's maust a full run off tennis as he beat croatian born a charge to win the shanghai mosque is this pounced on charge his mistakes to bury shuffle shot at winning the first sit. at the match points in the second his opponent had simply run out of steam enabling just a bitch to take the second and decisive say sixty four. in the. it's the serbians eighteenth win in a row in what's been an amazing season so far now at the iron man world
