10:02 pm
and thirteen these social democrats. nineteen point eight percent that's a drop of ten point nine percent the greens nineteen point six percent a rise of eight point five billion party they're on six point one percent and that's an increase off point nine percent the liberal free democrats or if t.p. won seven point seven percent a prize of two point seven percent and the far right alternative for germany if he got thirteen point two percent and that's an increase of nine point one percent. now at a national level the loss for both of the main parties is pushing further the strain on the betted coalition in berlin these social democrats say they'll review their federal alliance with medicals conservatives but what about implications in the state of his city now the results today suggest the conservatives can continue governing in a coalition they although possibly without a majority. it's been
10:03 pm
a sobering night for chancellor merkel's christian democrats and the has the state capital the c.d.u. trim here can remain in office but no one is calling this result a success and the disappointment is even greater among the social democrats this is the s.p.d. as worst result in has a state elections. out of nearly four and a half million voters and has about sixty eight percent cast their ballots the results underscore the flagging support for chancellor merkel's coalition government in berlin with punishment for both the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. . party leaders in berlin are now ready to change course. students will lose this politics at the federal level contributed a lot to our losses and has a and there are two reasons for that firstly something has to change in the. we have a lot of work ahead of us so are the conditions of the government is unacceptable acceptable dust is a big evil we have to ensure the government does what it was elected to do an end
10:04 pm
are fighting. whether we govern together or not the people expect us to do what's right and deliver results and these one. supports are the greens double from has as a last election five years ago it's their best result in the state of venice i now believe. this result is evidence that people from mainstream society a longing for another kind of government with different ideas combine this is this while arguments on. the far right a.f.d. party garnered nearly thirteen percent of the vote and it's entering has parliament for the first time that means it will be an all sixteen of germany's state parliament following the election and has a pressure is bearing down on the government in berlin to turn its words into action. i'm joined now by its political correspondent simon yes i mean it's good to have you all right so the major parties the seat even the s.p.d. losing around eleven percent each how shaken should they be with this result i
10:05 pm
think really shaken i mean the cd use been in power and has for the last twenty years and before that for a very long time it was in social democrat hands or both of these parties you know feel at home there but they've been told by the voters of this important state in the sense of germany you know we're not happy something's wrong of course is that the politicians there in that state have been saying well a lot of it is about people's reaction to the government of angle americal in berlin which consists of these two larger parties you know they're in a coalition together which a lot of people feel has lost its way and that's a certain amount of what is in your protest votes rules are seeing a surge for other parties like the greens like the f.t. it looking for other answers all right so there are rumblings that this result in his it could end the federal grand coalition what do the party's leaders in order to save this alliance you know what they're saying tonight that they need to do is to sort of press the reset button find
10:06 pm
a new way of working with each other in particular because what a lot of people have said is not so much about a lack of policies is as rather the tone in the coalition government which has been you know very much about sniping against each other and caught up with the personalities and that has created a sense that you know the government isn't moving forward but i think more than that the parties need to communicate they've got ideas but you could say the problem is just in the system if you have the two parties the largest parties center right center left together well you know that covers a lot of political ground but it also means that you know the votes is caught really see the difference they don't really know. which way the government is leaning and it creates a sense of you know drift i think and that's possibly the result we've seen not just in the election but other regional elections recently
10:07 pm
a party that's been affected from that sense of drift. we now see that after this there are bound for the his state legislature for the first time. looking all rather how are you reading what is seemingly an unstoppable rise of the tea party yeah i mean now here they are in all the sixteen regional parliament around the country as well as in the national parliament so you've got to say this party has arrived nationally as they said they would some rich wrote them off it originally as a sort of just a far right and the immigrant kind of marginal phenomenon but they've they've got a grip across the country i think is largely about a protest vote nonetheless. and people saying you know we want something different to happen it's not just the migration issue although that does mobilize a lot of air support those there are many people who perhaps might also equally vote for the far left party have chosen to sort of send their message here by
10:08 pm

a majority. voting has just closed in a presidential runoff in brazil and for the first time in decades it looks like a far right contender will win former army captain joe you've also model has been criticized for making a string of sexist homophobic and racist remarks he's also repeatedly praised the military dictatorship that ruled the country for two decades going into the vote polls merrily ahead of the leftist candidate for an end to. homs joins me now from rio de janeiro ophelia this is brazil's most divisive presidential election in decades what is the atmosphere in the country. well the atmosphere started to be polarized ever since the come pain started but to be honest now compared to what we saw here on the first round of elections it's not us tens we have seen some protests undergoing in different cities of brazil in
10:10 pm
recent weeks but they haven't been as massive as they were before we have talked to many brazilians and many think that the decision has already been made but some others are trying to not lose hope and still trying to to see hernando have died because brazil's next president. coming back to both tomorrow he's made denigrating remarks about women gays and blacks how has he still managed to gone to the amount of support he has. while that's a question many here asked themselves when they've the brazil especially from the outside but the truth is that his phenomenon is compared to that of mr donald trump of the united states because many brazilians think he is a different candidate to that political elite that has ruled the country especially the workers' party in the past fifty years and which many blame for the very corrupt scandals that have been hitting brazil and the bad economic situation but
10:11 pm
it's also true that many people billions are sexist themselves and it's still a very conservative country so many think these comments are only political incorrectness and they don't take them seriously. so both are really looks like he's in a t. a lead but there have also been signs that the gap could be narrowing is there a chance wolf and then to have that. well yes according to recent polls especially those that were still being published last night the day before the election was narrowed from eighteen to only eight points between both candidates but labels and i are still leading with fifty four percent of the vote and that's a strong number that will probably be very difficult to beat. aufidius holmes reporting for us in rio de janeiro thank you. police in the united states have named the victims of sunday's shooting at
