which has recently been colombia chile and argentina and well on the on the cultural side what many fear is that he might bring very strong military presence not only into the streets but also into the educational system of feeder holmes reporting for us in rio de janeiro thank you. now so elections here in germany governing parties here have been hit with big losses in regional elections today the results from the state of has could threaten the survival of the federal alliance between medicals conservative c.d.u. and the social democrats let's take a look at the latest projections to see do you want twenty six point nine percent that's a fall of eleven point four percent since the last has the election in twenty thirteen the social democrats twenty point one percent a drop of ten point six percent the greens nineteen point six percent a rise of a point five then left party there on six point two percent that's an increase of
1:06 am
one percent the liberal free democrats or if d.p. one seven point seven percent a rise of two point seven percent and the far right alternative for germany got thirteen point two percent an increase of nine point one percent at a national level the loss for both the main parties is pushing for the strain on the betted coalition in berlin the social democrats say they'll review their federal lives with merkel's conservatives it's another disappointing result for the chancellor following elections in bavaria two weeks ago but what did today's results mean for the state of has it it suggests the conservatives can continue governing in a coalition they although possibly without a majority. it's been a sobering night for chancellor merkel's christian democrats and the has the state capital the c.d.u. premier can remain in office but no one is calling this result
1:07 am
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. to introduce 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 us most issues we have a lot of work ahead of us so are the conditions of the government is unacceptable accept that's the is a big deal even we have to ensure the government does what it was elected to do an end are fighting. whether we govern together or not the people expect us to do what's right and deliver results in the front. supports of the greens doubled from
1:08 am
has as a last election five years ago it's their best result in the state then as i know. 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 political correspondent simon yes i mean it's good to have you all right so the major parties the city even the s.p.d. losing around eleven percent each how shaken should they be with this result i 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 so both of these parties you know
1:09 am
feel at home there but they've been told by the voters of this important state in the center 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 you're seeing a protest votes rules are seeing a surge for other parties like the greens like the f.t. people looking for other answers all right so there are rumblings that this results in his it could end the federal grand coalition what do the parties need cities 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 a new way of working with each other in particular because what a lot of people have said is it's not so much about a lack of policies as. the tone in the coalition government which has been
1:10 am
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 voters call 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 this election but other regional elections recently 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 always looking at
1:11 am
all rather how are you reading what is seemingly an unstoppable rise of the posse yeah i mean now here they are in all the sixteen regional parliaments 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 it 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 voting for the f.t. and we'll see whether their support really is lost in the years to come all right simon young political correspondent thank you for your reporting. now
