and forces in france and germany. material industrial complex starts october twentieth on t.w. . this is the news live from berlin a blow for german chancellor on the machall or conservative allies in bavaria suffering huge losses in a key result likes on the reputations this morning being felt here in berlin as voters punished germany's traditional parties also coming up with. a handshake not much more surprise threats of talks between british and you negotiate or has

failed to produce any results the main stumbling block is still the future of the border in art. and living in limbo we meet up dennis whalen in spain who's fled hardship and persecution at home or getting permission to remain in spain is a long process with little chance of success and. i'm brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show and thanks for being with us just how stable is towns are only mackerels governing coalition after her political allies in bavaria suffered massive losses in a regional elections macro's conservative sister party the c.s.u. lost their absolute majority in that state after six decades of dominance the c.s.u. taking less than forty percent of the vote that's a drop of a. more than ten percent the greens there celebrating some huge gains today now

becoming the number two party in bavaria a regional party the free voters getting eleven percent the far right. to enter by various parliament for the very first time they have just over ten percent of the vote support for the center left social democrats crashing by half to under that psychologically important ten percent mark the f.d.p. just passed the five percent hurdle the left party will not be in the various next parliament and the moment will be going to munich and berlin first here's some reaction from key players. dismay at a watershed moment the c.s.u. loses his absolute majority. but various unswerving loyalty to the party is over their opposition to under the medicals migration policy didn't pay off in the vote . sometimes we've had a bit of a painful result even if we still high gratian policy didn't pay off in the vote.

sometimes 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 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. thank you. the doom and gloom meanwhile for the s.p.d. they lost over half their voter share and the leadership seemed in shock this is move it over 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 s.d. will never sit in fifteen of the sixteen regional parliaments. 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 let's get full coverage of the fallout now from munich i'm joined by our chief political editor michelle a governor and here in berlin peter craven is standing by assassin michael c.d.u. party headquarters good morning to both both of you peter this vote is reverberating far beyond bavaria what does it mean for tasm ackles shaky government here in berlin. it's a real blow to angle america's shaky government as you put it in i don't i don't it party headquarters here and burning conrad up in our house where many of them senior members of the party executive been gathering this morning and there is a mood of dismay basically what they're saying is it can't go on like this and when they say that you can't go on like this they're talking about the backdrop to the fact of the c.s.u. has suffered its worst defeat in decades the s.p.d. has suffered its worst defeat ever why because if you listen to what the voters have said and what the opinion polls have said that's quite simply been too much

squabbling since this coalition was put in place and in the past several months since it has been in government a lot of that is blamed on the c.s.u. leader party chairman horse the whole for all eyes will be on him today and tomorrow trying to work out what his next move is going to be what we do know is that he's still in place now he's talking about staying in place for weeks and months to come he seems quite buoyant and that's a problem for anglo american because he's he's been involved in a long grudge match with i'm going to go and really that's the last thing she wants that's when the see when the c.d.u. grandees arriving in sydney say things can't go on like this what they're talking about is the squabbling the constant squabbling in the party ranks and in the coalition ranks ok or say oh for is of course also the interior minister here in berlin this year law let's go to you in munich a lot of historic proportions for various conservatives are heads going to roll where you are today. not today and this is

a political earthquake there's no question about it it's a it was a predicted political earthquake and it didn't turn out quite as bad for the conservatives see as you have the very as many had feared so there is at the same time a sense of relief but also more and more questions are being asked to take the about the leadership of horse stable for technically unless he resign which he's already said he will do they can't vote him down they would need a party. but that would be a rather long process so we don't expect anything like that here today but when peter is saying it can't go on like that well i daresay it won't because these are very new lections are now over and quite predictably. he's to a certain degree that's the sense certainly here learnt the lesson that the constant bringing the german government to the brink of collapse is not going down with the voters at all it's not going down with his own party so he probably will

calm down a bit at least when he's in berlin ok well one of the winners from the selection a lot of soul bray sions for them the greens doubling their support in bavaria michelle what's what's behind the green surge. well there's two aspects first of all they there were votes is leaving the conservative c s you both to the far right to the f.t. but also to the green party but a large part of their success is the loss of the social democrat s.p.d. basically they were almost killed in these polls they are under ten percent and this also created a sense of panic not just here in bavaria but also in berlin so when we're talking about potential instability and i'm going to map all's grand coalition with the social democrats certainly this will be seen as a further sign by the sister democrats that grand coalition but it is not working for them and it's upping the ante for the elections coming in two weeks time if the

democrats decide they don't want another coalition or they might start questioning even more being in the very coalition at the national level as we've heard and hear not just yesterday talk about this already ok well yes we are heading for some potential instability in berlin in two weeks back to you peter there's another electoral task mention there by michelle and for america and her coalition two weeks time that's when the state of hazzard goes to the polls are you expecting more bad news for the chancellor that. that is what is widely expected to see experiences that the margin of defeat possibly the margin of loss for the christian democrats for the c.d.u. for angle americans conservatives will be similar or could very well be similar to this defeat suffered by her sister party the c.s.u. in bavaria and that would obviously be a major challenge to i'm going to america for routine and i would be a stage to exercise discomfort and dismay with her leadership very shortly after

that because at the beginning of december there's a major party conference where i'm going to replace going to stand to be reelected as party leader and it's expected that if she has done being seen to be done. badly at least through the conservative ties with the c.s.u. and first fairy and then her own c.d.u. party in s. and in two weeks' time if she's been seen to do badly on both of those elections then there are going to be big question marks about her leadership it's been interesting in recent days voice of the president of the german parliament in the form of finance minister very familiar figure has come out and criticised anglo-american very openly saying she's no not as strong as she used to be and that's being read by a lot of people here in the house of political as a sort of a call to begin to question i'm going to america's leadership however without it we've heard it all before we've heard it all before and i'm going to merkel seems to come out of these challenges time and time again so we'll have to wait and see

that's a very important point not to forget at all peter craven for us and so you had quarters in berlin michel in munich thanks to both of you. and there's plenty more on this vote and it's fallout at our website that's d.w. dot com also get some of the other stories making the news this hour clashes have broken out in the chill a in capital santiago after a peaceful march by thousands in support of the country's biggest indigenous group march held to demand the return of ancestral lands to the people whose lives were lost in one thousand century. in syria the main islamist group has signaled that it will abide by the terms of a russian turkish deal to set up a demilitarized zone is due to come into force today that's intended to prevent a syrian government offensive on rebel held. all reports suggest some islamist groups are not complying with that deal. president doll trump has acknowledged that the climate is changing speaking in an interview with c.b.s.

a hard border between britain's northern ireland and the irish republic. and we'll have more news on what some businesses are doing to prepare for the disruption of a new deal brags that that's coming up later in the show. well more than three million people have fled venezuela as that country's economic and political crisis deepens most had for colombia and brazil but thousands of also applied for political asylum in europe especially in spain but as the years pablo foley ileus reports from the dread they're facing a long and difficult process in spain. this is

a meeting he spent 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 past a commission 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 i asked 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 is their 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's 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 and selves they can use it to prove they have settled in spain or seek spanish nationality. for a meeting 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 causative 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.

football now and germany's national football team continuing its losing streak the team lost three nil to the netherlands on saturday it was the biggest to feed ever so these traditional rivals are surprised that coach welcome loves job is under intense scrutiny on tuesday the team faces world champions france as they battle to turn things around. it's all downhill from here that's what yohimbe love's 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 first first time ever in the country's history germany are interchangeable being relegated from their nations league group. that we are all being heavily criticized 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 guard believe 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 are 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 or part of foreman says if you're always losing in such a way that it can no longer be a coincidence. 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 used bags. 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 taking home another title they did so in record fashion but in the case of the men's champion while the action didn't stop at the finish line. the fortieth iron man world championships also became the fastest ever leading early on in the women's competition. 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. along also became the first athlete in history to finish the competition in under eight hours. you're a business with market now and saudi arabia's investments are in the spotlight indeed brined the saudi economy is in turmoil following the disappearance and suspected murder of a dissident a journalist the riyadh stock exchange was down as much as seven percent on sunday and a top business leaders including the heads of airbus and j.p. morgan chase have been pulling out of a major investment conference and that conference had been meant to showcase saudi arabia's move away from an oil based economy now a week ago washington post columnist jamal khashoggi entered the saudi consulate in istanbul and was never seen again turkey says it has video evidence he was killed

and dismembered there the united states said to the kingdom to be a punishment if it is responsible saudi arabia is threatening to retaliate against any sanctions imposed on it. european markets are bracing for a week of uncertainty for one the british pound is under pressure as a no deal breaks it seems increasingly likely that following an unscheduled meeting between the e.u. use and the case chief breaks to go c.h.s. over the weekend that failed to reach any breakthroughs and another major headache comes from southern europe today the italian cabinet is expected to approve a costly twenty nineteen budget despite criticism from the european commission the government backed by the right wing leak and the anti establishment five star movement has already issued to the financial framework for the budget raising the target for next year's deficit to two point four percent of g.d.p.

. less will sterrett see 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 it's a nice debt burden which about two point two trillion euros is the highest now. debts 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. it's not true that our budget works against the e.u. is that 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. 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 given the power to veto member budgets if italy became financially unstable it would pose a much greater risk than comparatively small a greece ever did rome has already said it couldn't care less what the european commission decides. well italy is determined to take out war debt than it should brics the 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 craig 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 aid are they right about that. well i think they would certainly have to. support the economy because the alternative is that italy with actively have to tumble out of the euro out of the e.u. and i think that be far 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 effectively what the program from the e.c.b. was created for to support all markets in struggling economies but that would mean a bailout program it would mean more imposition from brussels not less on the question again is would the italian electorate vote for the. 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 break and we've seen that a pound or and ready under pressure how is the u.k. financial were preparing for such a scenario where 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 looked over at least. have 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 boats these are the things that you have to do in order to ensure that you don't cough from such an enormous markets oversold

them 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 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 will know 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 attention 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 at to 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 number of risks. that you have in the global financial crisis and the debt crisis that followed and the bigger the risk the bigger and more interesting they yield of course their senior market analyst at one day in london
