[000:00:00;00] place . the c.w. news live from berlin to the far right makes major gains in 2 state elections in eastern germany but mainstream parties managed to hold on for victory and saxony and friends of dark protective results show chancellor of the americas christian democrats garnering the most votes in saxony and the governing social democrats took 1st place in brandenburg also coming up poland marks 80 years since the 2nd world war began leaders from dozens of countries joined ceremonies and warsaw the

german president saakashvili in miami called the war as a german crime and asked for forgiveness. and an emotional day in belgium as motor sport for members on 20 back to the driver was killed in a crash on saturday charlotte clare when the formula one long dream and dedicate his victory to his dead friends to. play. on the come to the show. germany's far right alternative for germany make significant gains in 2 state elections became the 2nd strongest party and regional parliaments in both saxony and brandenburg germany's mainstream party suffered sharp drops and support but were able to maintain their top positions let's take a look at the numbers vote counting is still underway and saxony but has concluded

in the state of brandenburg the final results there show the social democrats who currently govern the state at 26.2 percent maintaining the top position while losing votes the christian democrats are at 15.6 percent a heavy loss for chancellor angela merkel's party the left party is at 10.7 percent also a significant loss and the far right comes in at $23.00 and a half percent of landing in 2nd place the greens take 10.8 percent of very good result for them regional party the brandenburg united civic movement free voters take 5 percent the business friendly f.d.p. at 4 point one percent gaining some but not enough to win any seats in the state parliament and other parties completing the picture at 4 point one percent we have projected results from saxony for you there chancellor merkel c.d.u. which currently governs in the state comes in at 32.4 percent and 1st place but

significantly weakened the left party is that 10.3 percent losing almost half of their voters the s.p.d. junior coalition partner and partner in the state drops to 7.7 percent fignon if it can lay down the far right come in at 27.9 percent placing them 2nd the greens take 8.4 percent very good for them here to the f.t.p. at 4.3 percent won't get any parliamentary representation here either and the others account for 9 percent of these projected results. so now the big question is who will the c.d.u. in saxony and b s v d and brandenburg team up with to form coalitions one thing is certain despite their games it won't be the a.f.d. . was c.d.u. party leaders breathed a sigh of relief and saxony chancellor merkel's party has been in power here since german reunification and they've retained control despite suffering considerable

losses now that we've done it this is a message being sent out from saxony tonight a large majority of people who are standing up in a positive way for this country who want something the friendly saxony is one many thanks to all of you but it will be hard for saxony c.d.u. to form a coalition the center left s.p.d. and environmentalist greens to 2 poorly state premier michele catch my has ruled out a correlation with the far right f.t. the state's 2nd strongest party which picked up a far greater share of votes than in the last election here in saxony anglo merkel's conservative c.d.u. party has managed to hold onto its 30 year title as the state's strongest party but not without making losses namely to the alternative for germany party or a.f.p. the far right party is now the 2nd strongest party here in saxony and the result reflects the ever present divide between western and eastern germany with many

voters here still feeling neglected and left behind since reunification in 1990 now it's up to angela merkel's government back in berlin to figure out exactly how they can win back those disenchanted voters. think that's the one we're focusing brandenburg also becoming the 2nd strongest part. of the for the. right side but this result this prognosis shows one thing very clearly. the a.s.d. is here to stay. politics will no longer be able to be made by going around us the a.f.p. had hoped this hole in the german town of valdai in brand new book would be the place where they would celebrates becoming the strongest poteen regional elections for the very 1st time and in fact a sign behind me clearly says be that when history is made the f.t. didn't manage to become the strongest poverty here in brandenburg 2 but in that sense there is

a little bit of disappointment but when you speak to politicians here at the election party they clearly try to present the results as a victory for the if the and as as an important moment for this young job on the party the big question now is watch a coalition that will be formed here in britain and bug the center left s.p.d. remains the strongest party in vanderburgh but they need to coalition partners to be able to rule. that means that we continue to face great challenges in this country to reach out to the people and work together with them that is my goal for the coming years as well. there is one thing that almost all parties can be happy about voter participation has risen considerably in both german states. as chief political editor has been following the regional election results at the headquarters of merkel's conservative c.d.u. party here and berlin she sent us this assessment. there was a sigh of relief here the conservative c.d.u.

has of course is when those results came through showing that the c.d.u. hot or not indeed as its north to the far right if the saxony that it is in the lead of trying to move another government and that also the coalition partner here at the central level the social democrat s.p.d. true wasn't beaten by the far right a 15 so a collective sigh of relief and both posse head courses at the same time. i'm the assessment is that this makes fungal america will self declared final as german chancellor government's neither more nor less stable through these results but also the clear message here is that the c.d.u. cost to learn the lesson that it wants to listen more closely to those regional verses on the far right if t. is
