w. . this is it really was life from berlin the far right alternative for germany storms into 2nd place in a state election in through india will exit polls show the left wing the left party of the strongest force to be reckoned with but they all have a hard time forming a new government will have team coverage should on the election's outcome and what it means for the country also coming up to. the world's most wanted terrorists has died during a u.s. led raid u.s. president donald trump confirms that american special forces stormed abu bakr along
8:01 pm
daddy straight hours in northwestern syria we'll get analysis from our correspondent in washington. on whether her rocket you so much for your company everyone polls have closed in the state election of through injury in eastern germany the left party is in pole position there and now the strongest political party in the state but the far right has stormed into 2nd place at the expense of chancellor angela merkel c.d.u. let's take a look now at the preliminary results for you. the conservative c.d.u. took a bruising hit they have 22 point one percent of the vote that is a sharp drop of 11 percentage points the socialist left party which leads the
8:02 pm
governing coalition in the state at the moment has get this 30.6 percent of the votes well the center left social democrat s.p.d. is at 8.3 percent and the right wing populist a d. party made big gains and more than doubled their vote they are on a 23.6 percent while the 2nd strongest party in the parliament now the interim environmentalist's greens have 5 percent the business friendly is also on 5 per cent and it's shaping up to be a very very interesting night in the room joe let's go there now to do a report on your cost is in the capital city of the air for to good to have you with this idea this is a state that is deeply divided how difficult will it be to form a government. now a lot of looks like it's going to be very difficult the left party as we just heard
8:03 pm
is now the strongest force here in the state parliament it currently is in a coalition with the social democrats the s.p.d. and the greens but both of those parties i'm not strong enough anymore to form a coalition with the left party so the current coalition does not have a majority anymore in the state parliament now if we look at the numbers and i'm only looking at the math there is one option and that will be a coalition between the left parties and the c.d.u. i'm going to back it's conservative party but the leading candidate here of the city you might morning has already ruled out working together with the left party and honestly i don't really see either how these 2 parties could find common ground so the left party will probably go and look and see if they can find a coalition with 3 other parties that would mean a coalition with 4 different parties and i think it would be very complicated for
8:04 pm
this to happen well meanwhile of far right is more than double the vote so it's the 2nd strongest party now in the room let's take a listen to their leader on her because their reaction to these preliminary results in the new months and never before in history has a single party and a single person been so defamed in the federal republic like we were. both here and yet the 3 engines have made this result possible and the result says a clear no to our paralyzed party democracy a result that says yes to a new vibrant democracy. mr hucker there responding to the outcome of these elections the voter turnout has been very high on ya did he manage that his party managed to mobilize more voters to come out and cast their ballots or is there more to it. yeah apparently he did because as you just said the 50 the far
8:05 pm
right populace they almost know they more than doubled their results of the a if he has campaigned to mess the flea here into range their leading candidate to be and who the one we just heard was holding a long speech is almost on a daily basis here in different towns and from india now we have to understand i've been hacked is a very controversial a politician probably the most controversial politician in germany he has upset quiet of few people by for example labeling buildings holocaust memorial monument of shame recently a call to even rule that it's ok to call him a fascist so he's had has upset a lot of people politicians some researchers say that his rhetoric is contributing to an atmosphere of hate and political violence but apparently 25 percent of the voters either don't agree with that or it doesn't bother them are unemployed stay
8:06 pm
with us i want to bring include in our conversation rather michela krishna she is our chief political editor here mikaela good to have you here with us how big of a setback is this for chancellor on america i mean it's a bruising result for city you there can they come back from this. well that's a big question recently it's it is an absolute may just sit back take you for the top can sit there who really try it's to raise the profile of the conservative c.d.u. as a posse also standing in for the former east here in germany listening closely going out to talk to people as everybody did and that simply didn't work for the conservatives nobody believes them that they are really the east german party and here the ring you know we have a really rather unique picture with this resoundingly success of the left party and this massive mobilization of voters which most paid into the boost for the
8:07 pm
far right if tea some 200000 extra votes his we really some 80000 of those polling shows but in france has steam up and went to the far right but some 47000 to the left party with the c.d.u. only getting some 33000 so resoundingly. for the conservative c.d.u. but already factored in in the big picture of german politics right now right factored in but still very disappointing i am are presuming i do want to go back to you talk to us about the big winner of the night the link at the left party what platform that they run on and why that their message resonates so much with voters in ways that established parties like the c.d.u. did not. i think it helps true have a quick look at the history of the party the left party used to be the direct successor of the communist party in former east germany and after the wall came down they were always an opposition party they were attractive to protest voters
8:08 pm
and that has changed in 2014 when they started to form a government here answering back then it was kind of a scandal and a lot of people were fearful and said well maybe 3 inches you know truly into a socialist state but none of that has happened. one of the key figures of the left party is i'm a little of the state prim year many people from all kinds of from all kinds of political spectrum who. say that he's very profound very pragmatic very down to earth and that it's easy to work with him even businessman intrapreneur. who were skeptical about him and now agree that he's actually doing a pretty good job. i want to give you the final word if i may can text allies these preliminary results for us does what happens in the state of the regional states or injure or does it tell us about the direction this country is headed you know going
8:09 pm
to like this but it's a bit of both we've seen the conservative c.d.u. itself describe this as a defeat for the center for those big tent party and also some other analysis that you from the green party whose rise in the opinion polls but also in recent election results seems to have been stopped here whole but having said that this was actually a dramatic situation and that now should be the time for all democratic parties to talk to each other with the key question here what the conservative c.d.u. will eventually also talk to the left party build that bridge to the party that so stands for the east here so that's the big question mark in terms of the political . stability at those times seem to be over if an hour into the ring india and there's a sense also in berlin. that the german government itself is not just struggling with itself but that any fresh elections would produce
8:10 pm
a much more complex less stable pay to you and me here with me in the studio and in air for to i'm here cos thank you both for your continued coverage. when i had to our other top story rather u.s. president donald trump has announced that the leader of these so-called islamic states dotty was killed in an american military assault in the live region in northwest syria in an address from the white house trump said baghdadi blew himself up after being cornered in a dead end tunnel by american special forces donald trump said american special forces blew open a wall and moved in quickly cornering al baghdadi in a tunnel where he had taken 3 of his children he didn't supposedly blew himself up along with his children the u.s. says it quickly carried out d.n.a. tests confirmed his identity. the american
8:11 pm
president said he had been after baghdad he says he took office and explained why the u.s. chose to go in because this is the one that built isis and beyond and was looking to rebuild it again very very strongly looking to build it and that's why he went to this province this is why he went to this area president trump also said the mission was so top secret that only a few officials knew about it even keeping his allies in the dark. al baghdadi had started a reign of terror this decade. he's believed to have become radicalized while being imprisoned by u.s. forces in iraq in 2004 he then became leader of isis in 2010 he made only one public appearance in 2014 in mosul iraq where he declared himself the colleague and announced the establishment of the islamic state as well as declaring a holy war in pencil president trump said the u.s. still has other people there after today's events are another reminder that we will continue to pursue the remaining isis terrorists to their
8:12 pm
brutal end that also goes for other terrorist organizations they are likewise in our sights baghdadi and the losers who work for. and losers they are they had no idea what they were getting into the president also defended his decision to pull out u.s. forces from syria saying he didn't want his country mired in the ancient disputes of others but he did say some u.s. forces will stay to protect the oil there. all right we're now joined by our correspondent in washington pablo foley. public major announcement there by the president on working tell us. well you heard some snippets of it there lay that it was a very graphic statement from president trump who said the leader of the so-called
8:13 pm
islamic state. like a dog and a cow were an almost hour long news conference from president trump and he went into a lot of detail about his death and he said that al baghdadi had killed himself using a suicide vest he also said that tests been carried out on the body and that it was it was him in fact and u.s. forces were in the compound for 2 hours that also they had seized highly sensitive material and information on the isis president went on to say that he knew of possible successors to diety as leader of the so-called islamic state and the interesting lee you mentioned that he russia turkey syria and iraq as well as intelligence officials from the united states and also u.s. special forces and also what was quite interesting was how he said that he watched the entire operation and how he said it was like watching a movie. what more do we know about the special mission.
8:14 pm
well what we do know is the president said that he had been under surveillance for several weeks and that there had been 2 or 3 efforts to capture him and that they'd been canceled he also mentioned how the u.s. special forces new location he was hiding in tunnels and that they had some covert so his capture would have been carried out and like i mentioned before that he thanked turkey he syria and russia as well as the intelligence officials and the u.s. special forces and they have since then we've heard from the kurdish led syrian democratic forces that they tweeted and they said it was a successful joint operation with the u.s. and also we've heard within russia there are reports within the media that the country's ministry of defense wasn't even aware that they provided any assistance to the united states in the operation turkey said there was pressure to help the united states so you know this is all right for president trump is
8:15 pm
a very successful day in what has been you know a tough couple of weeks for him well in conclusion want to talk to you about that because the timing obviously is very interesting comes just as there is a growing concern about a resurgence of. syria because of the president's decision to pull out troops from that country so this is me now mission accomplished case closed. it's very hard to know where president obama particularly with syria he's had a lot of criticism from democrats and republicans but it is very positive news for president trump and that is i would say a significant moment for him he's been under a lot of pressure not just because of the ongoing impeachment inquiry that's taking place but of course for that have brought its decision to withdraw troops from syria and abandon that longstanding kurdish ally that they have there so but overall he's taking this as a positive publicly at least reporting from washington thank you. officials in the
