chancellor will spring in our political correspondent, nina. how's it here in any nina's opinion? polls showed the far right a if they had a chance of winning this election, insects me on how. why are they so successful in eastern germany? well, there are is always many different reasons, but you do have to say that 30 years after german reunification there is still a big difference between east and west, between political preferences, but also between living standards, with many young people in the east, not having the same opportunities as in the west, lots of rural parts of the region being left behind. and the a f. d in 5 did come out strongest party with the under 30 year olds in saxony. unhealthy and the representatives do belong to the far right political spectrum. their regional party representatives are actually being observed by the german intelligence service for those extremist views. and the polls do show that half of those voters who voted ab this time actually do support the content and policies
8:05 am
there. so they do place a strong focus on nationalist ideas, very onto immigration, onto liberal for the polls. also show that the other half of a vote is still vote for the to protest against all the other parties of the democratic spectrum. let's talk about the greens for a moment. there's a lot of focus on them right now in germany, in other regional elections and national polls. they're doing very well. why not in saxony, on hundreds while again, there are many reasons that have to do not just with saxony, another but with east and west in germany as a whole. the greens have chosen nationally to focus their efforts on the fight against climate change. and a lot of voters say that the greens actually do have the strongest competency when it does come to this issue. but the majority of versions in taxing, and i said that this is currently not that prime concern for their own lives. and so the greens have not managed to explain to voters insects in the,

8:07 am
a strong focus on stability in the region. whether those leaders are from the cd, you the s p d, or even the greens, those leaders get reelected, and the preference is changed from region to region. so this is going to be very interesting to watch in september election. i will probably say very different outcomes between east and west again. so no party gets a claim. majority is a lot more down to which coalitions those parties will then form, but also one more less than from tax. and there is a clear majority in germany still that will not form coalitions will work together with the far right. nina, thank you so much. our political correspondent, nina has a sketch up on some other stories making headlines around the world today. now, in pakistan, at least 30 people are dead. after 2 express trains collided, holy se one of the trains the rails, and then the other slammed into it for the rescuers are still pulling victims from the wreckage. it's not clear what caused on the inside. it was off that russian
