join after the youngsters as they share their story their dreams and their challenges to the seventy seven percent each of these platforms for africa majority . this is the deputy news live from berlin a blow for german chancellor angela merkel are conservative allies in bavaria suffering a massive losses in a key regional elections the repartee cautions being felt here in berlin as voters reject germany's traditional partings also coming out. a handshake but not much more surprise breaks the talks between british and european leaders readers failed

to produce any results the main stumbling block still the future of the border and ireland. and living in limbo we meet a venezuelan in spain who says what hardship and persecution at home are getting permission to remain in spain is a long process with little chance of success. i'm dr thomas thanks so much for joining us just how stable is the german chancellor on america's governing coalition after her political allies in bavaria suffered massive losses in a regional election her conservative sister party the c.s.u. lost their absolute majority in the state after six decades of dominance the c.s.u. taking less than forty percent of the vote now that's a drop of more than ten percent the greens while today they are celebrating her.

huge gains now becoming the number two party in bavaria a regional party of the free voters they got eleven percent the far right if the the alternative for germany is set to enter various parliament for the first time ten percent of the vote for them just the bob support for the center left social democrats this is a real shock falling by half to under the ten percent mark the three democrats just passed the five percent hurdle to enter the regional parliament on the left party will not be in the various parliament well in a moment we'll have some analysis from our political correspondent but first here's some reaction from the key players dismay at a watershed moment the c.s.u. loses absolute majority of areas 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 off 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 will analyze everything closely one thing is certain though despite some predictions despite some discussions despite some comments the c.s.u. hasn't just become the strongest party it also has the clear mandate to govern. for the greens there was jubilation thank. you 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 to the area many many thanks for that. doom and gloom meanwhile for the s.p.d. they lost over half their votes or share in the leadership seemed in shock this is new bit of a 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 most sit in fifteen of the sixteen regional parliament. they are what i have 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. ok you consider shock waves today here blood let's talk about them with our political correspondent you know he's

a good morning you know one you know this is an historic defeat that's the way we're characterizing it for the c.s. you but it's also one in a lot of ways for all america what are the implications for her coalition today it is really interesting i mean the reason why we covered the bavarian elections to the extent we did was because it has in direct implications for on them ackles government here in berlin even though it was regional like you said so both of the partners who are involved in the current government coalition here in berlin received massive blows i mean they're both reduce their vote by about ten percent so that is historic defeat which is a reports cut for the government coalition here in berlin many voters said going to the polls and bavaria that they were very unhappy with the style of leadership that was being shown by all the leaders in by the conservatives but also by the social democrats and so this is a real big report card ok well there's going to be another report card this coming

up in two weeks in the state of house so there's regional elections there can we expect a similar blow for all america and her coalition in two weeks' time and has what is going to be interesting about it is of course that. itself will draw on their unlike in bavaria where the christian social union were on the list of those says they are the system positive on america and has people will give a report card to i'm going backwards party itself directly directly one of her closest allies is the state from you know it has a current date and so of course if he receives a blow then that has a significant significant impact on machall and her position in the current government she stands to be reelected the party convention of the conservatives in december but of course if there is a blow in hessen when many people will become louder. a ready speculating about her success and also as potentially has the chance you know the results in bavaria

point to a new political landscape or fractured landscape don't they i mean we have voters going in droves to the green party on the left to the far right is this the future for german politics well in many ways germany is now experiencing what other european countries or industrialized countries have been going through in recent decades that the political landscape yes it is becoming more fractured but if you look at the bavarian elections you see that the underlying topic was migration and that that really did polarize voters and that the parties that have a very clear line on that topic where the ones that want both the greens on the left who are pro migration who are open border friendly procure policy they gained massive voter says but also the f.t. who are in favor of closing the border is very much a traditionalist if not populist policy they also want ok the big loser in this

election but beriah the social democrats they lost also more than half of the vote in in bavaria are they headed the way of the french social democrats once a governing party down to and from six percent now they're about just above ten percent or well the polls showed that voters just don't know what the social democrats stand for anymore and it is clear that they are the biggest losers of the bavarian elect in the elections even if you merrick the conservatives lost more votes but. reducing to nine point seven percent that psychologically if we're going to you know it's a historic low and that comp you deny that there will be a lot of soul searching and of course nobody has said it yet in berlin but we'll have to closely watch the leaders of the social democrats and find out whether or not they're going to say ok this is it we are going to have to get out of the. coalition here in berlin to convince voters again what we stand for because they

understand that they have lost a lot of their profile governing with a glimmer eccles conservatives have big cost of being in the grand coalition as it's called you know has a thanks very much for that smart. now floated some of the other stories making the news today clashes have broken out in the chill lane capital santiago after a peaceful march by thousands of support of the country's biggest indigenous group the march held to demand the return of ancestral lands to the people whose lives were lost in nineteenth century when the maputo were defeated by chile's banished rulers. in syria the main as long as group there has signalled that it will abide by the terms of a russian turkish deal to set up a demilitarized zone it's due to come into force today and is intended to prevent a syrian government offensive on rebel held. other reports suggest some islamist groups are not complying with the deal. u.s.

president donald trump has acknowledged that the climate is changing speaking in an interview with c.b.s. he said he did not believe that climate change was a hoax but he cast doubt on whether human activity was to blame adding that many scientists quote have a political agenda. more british and e.u. negotiators say they have not been able to seal a bracks a deal ahead of an e.u. summit this week that despite a flurry of unscheduled meetings on sunday ukase said minister dominic robb met the used to figures heater. in brussels while twenty seven even bastards also at a hastily arranged meeting but barney later tweeted that some key issues were still open in particular the need to avoid a hard border between the u.k.'s northern ireland and the irish republic. for let's bring in our brussels bureau chief max often on this max why is there still no deal. had you asked that question yesterday brian it around you know this

time maybe a little later most people would it's probably going to have a deal monday morning at least the chances seem pretty good our sources we asked all around said things are looking up seems like we might get this thing done on a technical level after all and then even when the e.u. and you just mentioned it the e.u. breaks the regs administer the u.k. domine made an appearance here in brussels we all thought ok this is going to happen actually after months of negotiations but that didn't last long couple hours later we just heard ok this is it we're not getting any traction on the main remaining issue the hard border between northern ireland and ireland you mentioned and the backstop so-called backstop and that was that ok now officials are saying no further negotiations are planned between right now and wednesday so where is this summit headed wednesday yeah wednesday we have that brags that summit here and it seems like the negotiators feel like they've gotten as far as they can on the

technical level and now with this last big remaining issue of the backstop the so-called backs of our border between northern ireland which is part of the u.k. and the rest of ireland which is part of the european union should be resolved on a political level on the boces level something by the way that threesome maine has wanted all along and she was always frustrated by the technicality of the european union by the fact that the leaders would defer to the to the commission that's in charge of the negotiation seems like this might have changed now but we don't know what to expect from wednesday just yet ok now we are running out of time for a deal but another five months to go until the deadline do we have even a rough idea of what any final agreement might look like. well if there if there is a deal at the end then we we have the. northern island would probably have to be part of the e.u. customs union one part of or another to avoid a hard border and avoiding a hard border is something that all parties one but breaks

a tier say we don't want to be part of a customs union because it will deprive us of the capability of the opportunity of negotiating our own free trade agreements and you could see that on sunday right it was incredible as soon as these outlines were out there leaked basically by the technical staff you had a huge uproar back in london in the u.k. and it shows you that the real battle is now not anymore between theresa may and the european union it seems like may is ready to strike a deal but she's able to sell it back home and if she can't sell it back home will have a hard brecht ok another difficulty for the british chancellor all of those british prime minister rather next often thanks very much for that well more than three million people have fled venezuela as the country's economic and political crisis deepens most had for colombia and brazil but thousands of also applied for political asylum in spain as did abuse pablo foley ileus reports from the drift

however they are facing a long and difficult process. this is a meta he's made his wailing and seeking asylum in spain earlier this year and mido fled his home country and arrived in madrid. he told us his story. but it was. political pacification for munching for protesting for being in complete opposition to what's happening at the moment i was threatened harassed and ropes. i left because i got sick and also because of the political issues i tried to stay in my home in my country with my people. call me. i mean arrived in spain on a tourist visa and didn't seek asylum upon arrival he instead waited for five months. i was scared about how asylum was what would come of

it and what i wouldn't be able to do it was always happens is they take your passport from you you can't leave the country and you don't know how long the process takes you don't know what pandora's box it will open so it was for those reasons i decided to take the time and seek political asylum. spain's interior ministry turned down our request for an interview but official figures for twenty seventeen have shown the vast majority of asylum applications made by venezuelans in spain were rejected or simply not processed due to a large backlog of applicants over twelve thousand venezuelans have sought asylum so far this year here in spain for various cultural linguistic historical and family reasons spain is the number one destination for venezuelans fleeing their country. of the united nations refugee agency explained the reality of the asylum application process in spain as the cases of people waiting one or two years and

that includes venezuela one process to stay in the country must be cancelled or closed before another can begin one person who has been in spain seeking international protection who's been seeking asylum for two or three years can then include that time in other processes for immigrants to legalize in a solved they can use it to prove they have settled in spain or seek spanish nationality. for him the legal limbo has been difficult but he remains positive about his new life in madrid. i don't know what's going to happen sometimes i feel positive sometimes i feel down sometimes i really want to push forward but other times i feel like i want to give up i sometimes think of giving up my asylum application but like everyone i have dreams i want to come true i have goals and i think spain can allow me to achieve them. perhaps

a small glimmer of hope for the increasing number of venezuelans seeking asylum in spain. we have some football now and germany's national football team is one of its slowest ads in decades the teams lost three nil to the netherlands on saturday was the biggest ever defeat to their fierce rivals loves job is now under intense scrutiny on tuesday the team faces world champions france as they battle to turn their fortunes around. it's all downhill from here that's what yohimbe lives critics are predicting as the shop to call and since germany's disastrous world cup campaign continues his team has now failed to score in three straight competitive matches for the first time ever in the country's history germany are in danger of being relegated from their nations league group. that we are all being heavily criticised me as the coach has to take

responsibility but we somehow have to block that out in the next two days and show some character and face france because it's actually our last chance promise changes to the teams playing style have failed to materialise despite the poor results some of germany's old god belief they're still performing. and it's not probably be accused of not being critical enough but i don't think we played a bad game against them. we have a lot of top players we usually have a good national team and we're being treated like amateurs if you follow. yet among the team's younger players the so for flexion has been more critical. we do not make the mistake of talking no part of foreman says if you're always losing in such a way that it can no longer be a coincidence. for me. something needs to change that much is clear another object performance against france on tuesday and even more fans will be

calling for love to pack his bags. it was to the iron man world championships in hawaii now where you have to swim about four kilometers cycle another one hundred eighty and then just run the marathon the defending men's and women's champions both took home another title the two also did so in record fashion but in the case of the men's championship well the action didn't stop at the finish line. the fortieth iron man world championships also became the fastest ever meeting early on in the women's competition was britain's lucy charles who set a new world record in the swimming event. but then switzerland's daniela got past her in cycling at the one hundred five mile mark the swiss then held on from there also excelling in the marathon to take first place with charles settling for second and a house of germany coming in third in the men's germany's patrick lang it was trailing

until the final running stage that's also perhaps because he had been stung by a jellyfish just prior to the competition and wasn't sure if he could compete but compete he did and how finally making his mark late on and beating the previous race record by almost nine minutes he then dropped to his knees to propose to his girlfriend. long also became the first athlete in history to finish the competition in under eight hours. ok let's get. some uncertainty on the currency markets this morning well brian everything is going topsy turvy this week in europe you already mentioned those negotiations and then of course there's italy but the british pound is under pressure following sunday's failed breaks it talks and today the italian cabinet is expected to approve a costly two thousand nine hundred budgets despite criticism from the european commission the government backed by the right wing leak and the anti establish less

austerity and more investment italy's government wants to spend billions of euros fulfilling election campaign promises such as a basic income for the unemployed it doesn't seem to be worried by italy's debt burden which about two point two trillion euros is the highest national debt in the e.u. and it's about to get bigger even more than originally planned italian economic growth is also slowing the government doesn't see any red flags it's convinced it's on the right path. in order. to get out it's not true that our budget works against the e.u. this is the narrative of members of european parties who are currently sitting in european institutions italy is one of the founding countries of the european union and we've always said not only do we want to remain in it but also to improve this union and make it more democratic make it more supportive. but on the street opinions differ about borrowing more money to finance campaign promises. i'm

optimistic about the government but i'm worried about these attacks from outside a government that's finally thinking more about italians than others is attacked on all sides i hope it lasts. forever. i'm feeling more worried than confident. today italy will submit its draft budget proposals to the european commission for approval after the eurozone financial crisis the commission was give. the power to veto member budgets if italy became financially unstable it would pose a much greater risk than comparatively small it greece ever did rome has already said it couldn't care less what the european commission decides. well italy is determined to take out what date then it should breaks its talks are going nowhere the european union certainly has a lot on its plate this week and for more let's cross over now to create a senior market analyst at in london good morning to you good to have you with us

italy might think it is too big to fail and whatever happens in terms of national debt or its ailing banks the e.u. would have to come to its eggs are they right about that well i think they would certainly have to stand up and support the economy because the alternative is the actively have to tumble out of the euro out of the and i think that before more catastrophic and even more dangerous than the u.k. voting to leave so i think the alternative would be that they have to throw in their support the question is how they do so this is affectively what the program from the e.c.b. was created for to support bond markets in struggling economies but that would mean a bailout program it would mean more. from brussels not less the question again is would the italian electorate vote for. there's also no solution in sight for an orderly breakfast if you already said that italy dropping out of the euro would be

worse than breaks it but after sunday's talks failed the e.u. now seems to prepare for a no deal breaks it and we've seen that the pound is or already under pressure how is the u.k. financial world preparing for such a scenario. well the same way that they've been preparing really for much of the last eighteen months or two years the you've seen the numerous financial institutions of looks over at least. in its offices in all the european countries the likes of frankfurt of course being one preferred option but also dublin and ireland as well so that they don't lose access to the single markets and everything that it offers in the worst case scenario obviously these institutions would rather avoid such and such measures because because of the cost involved having that additional satellite office votes these are the things that you have to do in order to ensure that you don't cough from such an enormous markets all the sort of and i mean craig would you invest in the e.u.

right now perhaps in the euro or in the pound any preference there i mean obviously both of them come with a risk but then there are obviously at the same time they come with the reward we look at the u.s. for example right now when markets are right near these all time highs you wonder how much of the cycle is left in terms of to make it profitable you look at something like your ip and actually you think there's a long way to go so you think potential is fog right but again it's all about being selective it's about knowing the risk you're taking alongside us and again if you can look into the peripheral economies whether the greatest risk is situated then you have to be very particular about where you look italian banks right now for example probably look strongly cheap but they also come with enormous risks because they still are covering over a number of the a number of risks. that you have in the global financial crisis and the debt crisis that followed the bigger the risk the bigger and more interesting they yield of course their senior market analyst at one day in london thank you so much for this
