now germany's shaky coalition government is reeling from another election blow today after a vote in the state of hessen conservatives were hammered in the election there they've only just managed to cling on to power while merkel's national coalition partners of social democrats were handed their worst ever result in the state. 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 a success and the disappointment is even greater among the social democrats this is the s.p.d. as worst result in has the 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
7:10 am
the 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 accept that's the use of a given 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 these. support for the greens doubled from hazards last election five years ago it's their best result in the state business i'm believe. this result is evidence that people from mainstream society a longing for another kind of government with different ideas. but this is the this while arguments of. the far right a.f.d. party garnered nearly thirteen percent of the vote and is entering has parliament for the first time that means it will be an all sixteen of germany's state
7:11 am
parliament following the election has a pressure is bearing down on the government in berlin to turn its words into action. our political correspondent peter craven is following this story for us hi peter this is not looking good for the governing coalition the conservatives down around ten percentage points of social democrats or worse result ever in the state how worrying is this for chancellor merkel's government it's very worrying indeed this is a really really big loss is an absolute hammering as you said and i think what it does represent is you know very importantly the erosion much talked about erosion of the big tent parties the social democrats the c.d.u. the christian i'm going to merkel's christian democrats have been melting away in recent times and this is exaggerated that feeling beyond them is also in berlin among the voters in germany this is there's a growing sense of disillusionment i think with angela merkel's leadership why is that well i think she says she's failed she for so many people this is been universally expressed across germany she has failed to prevent her coalition
7:12 am
government in berlin it's a time when germany needs domestic leadership and international leadership she has failed to stop coalition government from descending into abject quarreling and broke up with government and that led to a loss of a massive loss of respect for and i'm not one for the two main parties in the coalition so is she going to have to face consequences what is going to happen now for her and her government while this was talked about is a ship survive in germany is a day of destiny a votes of destiny that looks as though it was going to point finally to the door the really be the beginning of the end that we talked about so often but i think my assessment i have to say is that anglo american lives to fight another day after this election i don't think the coalition is going to crumble i think that the real danger for angle americal does come from the social democrats the sense that the they're in an existential both existential battle to stay alive and that they're really concerned about whether they should stay in the coalition or not because it's been it's been stolz ing them to hemorrhage votes for such
7:13 am
a long time and they are but they have indicated that they will put down red lines today or in the days to come and that they will force a deal with i'm going to host coalition government conservatives to make sure that those social democrats are shown to be creating policy. we should talk about some of the other parties here the f.d.a. now is an all sixteen state parliaments and germany what has led to their sustained popularity in this country. it's interesting how one or two people want to do commentaries in the last since the election result came in yesterday evening of the in pointing to the fact that the social to the alternative for germany had been aiming to get fifteen percent has an illegal thirteen percent so something we're asking whether the sort of there is a stop to the search but of course it is incredibly important that they all now we don't sixteen federal states and they've been dominating alone just ways that the german political narrative of the political agenda by forcing the issue of forcing the german public and the media to talk about immigration migration refugees
7:14 am
nonstop crime among refugees nonstop and they've been dominating the debate by that and then they're looking forward to three federal elections in eastern german states next year whether looking forward to doing particularly well possibly so they've pushed the debate to the right also taken some voters away from the chancellor merkel's conservatives you said we've seen a restructuring here are we seeing a change in germany's political landscape are you no longer going to have these big big tent parties i think it's quite a much broader there are now center who want to see exactly. as far less brand loyalty as suppose you would save you are coming from the world of business for the individual political parties and there are many many more sources obviously of information and misinformation about where you might might want to go when on voting day that's having quite a considerable impact but at the end of the day you think chancellor merkel can still hold on to power here chancellor merkel is certainly will hold on to power there's a key conservative leaders meeting next week and they'll be some hard talks the
7:15 am
party conference in december there'll be more pressure on anglo-american but i think she will survive. and will be able to function of the day as to say all right our political correspondent peter craven thank you very much peter. all right let's switch gears to some sports news now in formula one lewis hamilton a storm two a fifth the world championship win at the mexican grand prix on sunday hamilton went into the race needing to finish in or above seven place to clinch the championship he started third on the grid and made an early bid for the lead but red bulls max for stuff than edged him aside and went on to win the race for a second year in a row but it was hamilton's day he claimed fourth spot tending in this sift world title. only one driver in the history of the sport has never won more world championships than lewis hamilton the retired racing legend michelle schumacher with seven but the britain is closing in having secured that fifth crown
7:16 am
on sunday here's the story of this season's title defense. lewis hamilton champion again his fifth formula one world title has arguably been his toughest the miss a tease driver expected and initially got a big challenge from ferrari before he was able to streak away to overall victory i think it's just really about been consistent in the most consistent so far. but says it seen it started off a little bit up and down to begin the season initially the briton struggled to keep up with title rival sebastian fettle at the mid-season break the ferrari driver was in the lead with four wins and eight podium finishes defending champion hamilton was trailing sat in a technically inferior car. but the team and their star driver didn't pan. spirit within the team is trying to let them and these experiences that we've been
7:17 am
having and how we've been handling them have really united us more than any other year the team's engineers showed their worth they moved quickly to modify a few parts and make technical changes which got rid of the traction issues that had slowed the car down they were ruthless his mercedes teammate valtteri bottas was relegated to a supporting role fassel didn't have that type of support from his teammates and while the ferrari driver faltered hamilton cruised through the second half of the season with aplomb michelle schumacher was record of seven world titles may now be in sight for a dominant donald. was. right mike is here with a big deal in the tech world and it's all about the cloud soon made the tech giant i.b.m. has purchased red hat software for thirty four billion dollars and to better compete with cloud computing companies like amazon google and microsoft it is i.b.m.'s largest acquisition ever cloud computing and abel's people and organizations to

a lot of value inflation is high and there are reports that contractors were not able to pay workers in time this is one of the reasons why they went on strike why they had a protest just in september another reason is the fact that many workers have died since the construction started thirty eight workers according to the union we've been talking to the government and the airport management have admitted thirty deaths deaths so far so it's of workers during the last big protest which suggests that the government really does not want to see any you know shadows anything overshadowing the glamour of this mega project. they're reporting for us from istanbul thank you so much. the european commission has signed for conventions with tunisia two hundred seventy million euros the agreements include support for tunisians energy sector and foreign trade tunisia is just slowly
