mourns the victims of the synagogue shooting many of blaming the killings on the current political climate the f.b.i. has praised the quick response of the police saying more would have died otherwise . i'm christine one welcome to the program germany's governing policies have been hit with big losses in regional elections today the results from the state of his say could threaten the survival of the federal alliance between michael's conservative c.d.u. and the social democrats it's take a look at the latest projections to see do you want twenty seven point four percent that's a fall of ten point nine percent since the last election has said that was in two thousand and thirteen these social democrats will is speedy nineteen point six percent that's. drop off eleven point one percent the greens nineteen point five

percent that's a rise of eight point four percent the leftist party they're on six percent and increase off point sirrah percent the liberal free democrats all f.t.p. one seven point eight percent that's a rise of two point eight percent at the far right alternative for germany or eight thirteen percent and that's an increase of eight point nine percent. i'm now joined by political correspondent simon yeah simon take us through these results we can see that the the big parties have at the last at least had to say to each what does this all mean yeah i mean according to those latest numbers almost eleven percent for both the two big parties and those goals of the parties that are members of angela merkel's government lames you know it's a bad news for them essentially you can say of course this is a regional election and many voters will have voted on regional issues but many will have wanted to send that message that they don't really believe that the sort

of sense less center right coalition that mangal america leads is the right one the other things pick out here the big surge of the green vote they're increasingly looking like you know almost the major left left of center force in german politics the other thing the far right and the immigration policy now represented in every single one of the sixteen regional parliament around germany as well of course as in the national parliament in berlin the right side and so on a great current policy is the general secretary the c.d.u. she spoken is have a listen to what she had to say. i on this list seems to me we can already draw some conclusions it's been painful for the c.d.u. we've lost a lot of votes but also that full could do for a friend who has to have achieved their goal for this election that's course abides

in image and what we've prevented a left wing majority and we will be able to continue the work of the c.d.u. green coalition led by phone could move here. that is down to our friends in heads and we congratulate them for that. i guess i was so crap current calling this a painful results we can see that voters are desert in these major parties why well i think it's partly because of all the problems that the government in berlin has had over recent months you know it's been a year since the national election the result was nice mishmash coalition which the country seen before wasn't perhaps terribly impressed with it you might say well why didn't they vote some other different way but you know of course people don't vote for coalitions they just end up with them after elections that are inconclusive and this government hasn't really been able to get its act together it's been caught up in a lot of internal squabbling it's been troubled by scandals and

a failure to act in a sense that things are going forward and also an increasing sense that angle americal time is coming to an end many within their own party are indicating that that lady you just saw there the general secretary of the party actually a loyalist medical supporter that she might be one of the potential successors to follow in due course ok so we've also heard from the s.p.d. its leader and spoke moments let's listen to what she had to say. politics at a federal level contributed a lot to our losses and has a and there are two reasons for that first something has to change in the s.p.d. . we have a lot of work ahead of us. we have to make it clear where we differ from the work of the government so i wouldn't second the condition of a government is unacceptable we expect the conservatives to draw the consequences and resolve their political and personal differences as quickly as possible. ok so

tough with some knowledge there but could this result in the potentially leaving the coalition with michael yeah i mean i think it will concentrate the pressure. to do that in the of the diandra knowledge was saying no way and let's not lose our heads if there's a bad result in has a well now it's happened and i think she's probably taking some phone calls to say look we've got to change something and go to change it pretty soon the party is indicating tonight that they're possibly going to sort of set some demands in clear . conditions that they want the government to fulfill the government that they're part of to fulfill so that they can say look we are the s.p.d.m. government we get these results we work for people if they don't get some results they can sell the vote is this party is going to continue its decline from one of the sort of great causes of german politics into really almost a marginal phenomenon sam and before we wrap this up i want to ask you this be talking about the a if represented in every part of it in the country at this stage

. are we looking at an unstoppable rise of this party well i think that's what we have seen as i say they've now the now representative around the country they're not some sort of east german marginal phenomenon they're they are they have come to power. rather they're represented in the parliament they're not in power anywhere because they're regarded as you know no one else will do a coalition with them so they're sort of you know treated with kept it kept a distance by the other parties nonetheless they are there and they've tapped into a lot of. you know anger and bad feeling about the national government in particular they've been able to convert that into votes again tonight and around the country right. political correspondent simon young thank you for your reporting . now to some of the other stories making news around the world one man was killed and two others wounded when shots were fired in sri lanka bodyguards for the petroleum minister opened fire on

a presidential run off in brazil and for the first time in decades it looks like a far right contender will win former army captain has been criticised for making a string of six just homophobic and racist remarks he's also repeatedly praised the military dictatorship federal the country for two decades now going into the vote polls an hour and narrowly ahead of the leftist candidate for a dodge. all right ophelia hommes joins me now from rio de janeiro ophelia this is brazil's blows to visit presidential election indicates what's the atmosphere in the country like. well the atmosphere is a bit tense now that the polling stations have closed as you can see behind me especially from people that didn't get to vote today but to to be honest to compared to what we have seen in the first round it is much more calm we have seen some protests in some of the cities here in brazil in recent weeks but they are not

as massive and controversial as they were before. what i think is that most people what they have told us is that they have resigned that the result of today is almost has been almost decided from the first round already but we will see what happens next hour when we get the first results. we know that has made denigrating remarks about women and gays and blacks how has he still managed to gone to the amount of support that he has. well that's what everyone from the outside world wonders but to be honest his phenomenon is being compared to the one from mr donald trump people here think he's different to the political elite everyone is tired of and which many blame for the corruption scandals and the very bad economic situation brazil has been facing in recent years this political elite represented by the workers' party and its candidate for the

other that's why they're voting for someone who thinks who they think can lead the country with a strong hand and they don't take these comments as seriously as we might do it from the outside they think it's just a political incorrectness from his side and let's remember brazil is also a very conservative country and a very macho country as well so no one really takes them as seriously especially those that are supporting roles or not oh ok so we see that he's got a lead that is both a natural but there's also been signs that that gap could be narrow waiting is there a chance here for financial had judge. all the chances quiet little to be honest it is true that the got has been narrowing in recent days especially those she last polls that were. presented yesterday and the day before the points from eighteen have been reduced to eight points to friends the

difference between those both candidates but yeah it will matter still leading with fifty four four percent of the votes and this will be very hard to beat nevertheless fernando about after voting today said that he hasn't lost hope he says that he thinks most brazilians today will vote for democracy. all right that's ophelia hong's reporting for us in rio de janeiro thank you. there's been a wave of international condemnation ofter eleven people were killed in the deadliest attack on the jewish community in the united states the alleged killer is accused of shouting anti-semitic slurs as he stormed the synagogue in pittsburgh pennsylvania opening fire on bush. security remains high at the tree of life synagogue. yet behind the police line mourners have left flowers to honor the victims of saturday's deadly shooting. investigators are treating the
