the 2 parties were breathing down each other's next. here in the eastern german state of saxon the on house in the endo, a resounding unexpectedly strong wind for the conservative c d. u and nothing close to an upset from the far right alternative for germany. a f d i was this on lots of devices have taken a clear stand logo and, and a large majority of our citizens have said, we don't want to be associated in any way with the 3 latest date. and i'm very grateful for that. i should be done on many here, insects to me on how to relatively poorest days thought the a f t could when and would, when it pulled strongly for months, capitalizing on voted. dissatisfaction with the pandemic while keeping to its core anti migration message. instead, sundays result into k d i f d may be weakening and it's stronghold areas, but it's putting a positive spin on the result. them as if it is not that bad,

we're very happy with the result. it's pretty much what we got last time and i have to say it's important to me that we got the working class back and the left part, he has lost voters, and the work is in the state came to us. and i'm actually very happy with this result. even though his sex to me on holiday is a small side to see to use when here is a much needed boost to federal leader. and law said he's got a lot on in place. like finishing off the challenge nationally from the greens who were riding high in the palm, succeeds lash, it's done the greatest chance of winning the biggest fries. replacing uncle michael as chancellor call me. another winner in the evening in saxon, the house was germany's pro business party. the free democrats are sent to re enter sex me on her state parliament for the 1st time in 10 years. the f. d. p has had a tough time recently and poorer former east german states like 2nd time though

they improved on past performances and could even end up as part of the governing coalition in the state. it's a boost for the f t p leader christian linda. as you prepare for the general election campaign in the office, something with so we just kind of more or less. let's cross over to marcos. father, he's an f. d. p. parliamentary and join just from his constituency. stand up in saxony on her. thanks for being with us. first of all, what would you say was the main issue in this election insights me out? i think the manager was on the car constructive approach to also corona measures of the government and the concern of the people on the economy basically. so what about the far, right? many people were very concerned about about the far right. possibly winning that election, was that not a concern to you?

there's also concern and what was the point for many people i guess to vote for the conservative party bus successfully. we have come back to the parliament about 7 percent by now. and hopefully we can get this the country another direction even and so conservative does not want us to in just over 3 months from now germany will hold a general election. you very conscious of that has this poll. in fact, the on hall told us anything about what we can expect at national level. i guess so yes, i see we have seen a rising liberal party. we have seen a declining a green party and we have seen them quite stable conservative party. i think that is an issue that we will also see at the federal level you expect to see a declining green party from where they are right now because poll show them possibly topping the election results in the general election. yeah. as opposed

and sexually, i'm also had to green party at 11 to 12 percent as we were 3 months. so you months earlier and march and a came election at 6 percent so we haven't passed them. so i guess the same, we could have them at the federal level and this would be really helpful for germany. now, your party cooperated briefly with the far right. a s d in another eastern state to ring. many were shocked about that. is that something you can imagine happening again? no, my party never cooperate with the far right body. also not into the fall, right, buddy voted for liberal doing yeah, yeah, that's happened. my body will not cooperate and sex. sony ana was the far right and will not go up right on the federal as far. right. we are kind of the anti poach to the far right. and this will stay the same. just to be clear,

one of your party members, they allow himself to serve as a premier in 3 year for just a few days that didn't last long. you're absolutely right about that. and it created great consternation at national level talking about the national level. the last national election, your party refused to enter into a coalition with the conservatives and the greens. if your party is asked to join such a coalition again, what could we should we expect anything different? we will not conscious we will try to make our tidy program into real politics. this is our issue for joining a coalition. this was our show and this was sale issue. so if we have some conservative party that actually also wants to act on our program and we have other coalition, pardon us, then we will join the coalition. if not, then we can also stay in the position as to father. thank you very much for talking

with us. that was marcus father, a member of the german boon this talk serving for the free democrats. thank you so much. thank you. now moving on, judges in the netherlands will soon start hearing evidence against foreman suspected of being behind the downing of malaysia airlines flight and a 17 over eastern ukraine. nearly 7 years ago. the 3 russians, ukrainian national, are still at large. they're facing murder charges, in a sense you all $298.00 people on board and age. 17 died when the plane was shot down. families of the victims are bracing to hear painful details. a tree for each of the people who never returned the memorial site next as people airport has $298.00 trees and total 3 of them are dedicated to pete books, family. he lost his brother,

his sister in law, and their son on board flight mh 17. they left 2 daughters who did go with him already. those 2 young daughters at the at the time. and so yeah, i had to tell the daughter that their their father, mother and brother died and i had to tell my parents who were in the hospital at the time that it was very shocking. yeah. pete book chairs, a foundation, bring together thousands of next of kin. he says the image, 17 disaster header, real impact on all of dirt society where the, the bodies were repetitive. the whole dutch nation was, was, was what she did on television and the stairwell. but this was also very, very beautiful, that there was so much compression among such people like

m a 17 took off here at people airport and never reach the spinal destination in malaysia. now after years of investigations, a court here in the netherlands is determined to find out what exactly happened on that fateful day in 2014 and also who is responsible at the center of this inquiry are the remnants of the bowing. triple 7 here being viewed by the court. a massive jigsaw puzzle that was piece back together in a dutch military base. the crash site 7 years ago, or 298 on board, the plane were killed when it was blown out of the sky over a war zone and eastern ukraine. evidence points to a book, anti aircraft system, which was moved from russia and to rebel territory controlled by pro russian separatists. these 4 men will stand trial. they remain at large, allegedly protected by russia. those were presenting the victims family,

say this doesn't make the case any less important law has alarm also in time. can take 5 can take 10 years, maybe 15 years and mister put in and his regime will not always be in power. so maybe if there's a shift in government and if there will be a shift policy. also there will be a shifting policy in this file so they will have no rest. the suspects, i'm sure of that. peter took, on the other hand, says he doesn't care that much, whether the suspects go to jail. he just wants the truth to be spoken. i think it's important that we know what the role of the russia if they had the ro, what role of the russian federation was not only will push the button, but also who was in the end, responsible for all for all. what happened? so this can take years and even 7 years after mh 17 crashed,

he's determined to see this through until the end was taken. like now it's some of the other stories making news around the world. oh no, actually we've got max there who just filed that report back sunday, who filed the 40 join just now from amsterdam. let's bring him here, mac. so it's been 7 years since the downing of applied m h 17. what sort of evidence or the judge is expected to hear in this trial? read, terry? so this, this court case started more than a year ago and was mainly dealing with procedural issues up until now. now this week, for the 1st time, the court is going to be presented with some of the evidence and this is going to be most likely we're expecting some forensic evidence regarding the wreckage regarding the reconstruction of image 17, which was viewed by the court here and then had linda just about a week ago and also forensic evidence regarding the bodies of the victims. this is

going to be very difficult to hear for, for the next of kin who are also some of them are going to be present here at the, at the court and in people. but this is likely going to give some, some important insights into what actually took that image 17 out of this guy. and if from, from where this alleged missile was fired, now, the defendants in this trial, they're still at large. they're being tried in a sense here, what more do we know about these defendants and their whereabouts? so these are for men who are believed to be responsible. they are not the only responsible in this case, but who are believed to be responsible for the facilitation of this, this book, the surface to air. michelle, these are 3 russian nationals, one ukranian national. they all have very important roles within the so called people's republic of done yes, the, the southeastern, breaking the territory in your brain, help a favor. but russia backed rebels, the rebel leader as you go into, you can at the time, even prior to this had

a very important role within the russian security apparatus. he was a colonel with the russian intelligence and service, the f to be the other men. also, some of the other men also had, had roles within the russian security operators. now, these 3 russians are believed to be in russia. the ukrainian national is believed to be in russia. annex crimea, far away from, from the reach of the dutch court. so even if they are be found to be guilty of murder, it's very unlikely that they will be extradited and brought to justice. anytime you will, given that max the victims families say they hope this trial will reveal the truth about what happened. but if there is a guilty verdict, will there be any consequences for the defendants or anyone else who may be implicated? whereas very difficult to say at this point the that's for sure. now, as we heard for, for the vic and families it's, it's very important to find out through this court case. what exactly happened on

that date? were these 4 men responsible, but also who was giving these men orders that that is, that is the most risk that is most important. now after this, if these minute were to be found guilty, the court will have done his job. they're not going to be able to throw these, these men behind bars. then what happens after that if these men were to be punished, this would have to happen on a, on a different scale on, on a political scale. so russia, we have to get to a table with, with netherlands, with new asia, with your grade, and it would have to find out a way forward. speaking of the politics here, have investigators been getting any cooperation from moscow? i should it's now next. okay. i think we've lost a line there to our correspondence that was max tonda talking to us from amsterdam

. now, let's catch up on some other stories making news around the world in pakistan, over 30 people or did after 2 express trains collided. please say one of the trains derailed and then the other slammed into it for rescuers are still pulling victims from the wreckage. and that's not clear what caused the office to how does the group boca rome has confirmed its leader? because the shake, how died in fighting against islamic state fighters 2 weeks ago is death marks a major shift in nigeria as 12 year old. your hottest insurgency that has killed more than 40000 people and displaced around 2000000 in the northeast. and mexico's electoral commission says president andre manuel, we open our doors. ruling coalition is likely to lose its majority in the lower house of congress following sundays elections. the vote was seen as a referendum on his presidency and his plans to make big changes to the mexican

institutions over 3 quarters. the results and peruse presidential election or in and the outcome is still looking very tight. right wing populace keiko food you more has a narrow 50 to to 48 percent lead over her left. his opponent paper castillo, that's after a polarizing election campaign. overshadowed by a covered 19 pandemic. the u. k. has been planning to loosen lockdown restrictions later this month. in the wake of its success of its back to nation program, round 3 quarters of adults in the country have now received at least one percent of virus job and infection rates and poland dramatically. but with millions yet to be fully vaccinated, a new strain of the virus is making the public nervous. all over the u. k. people are lining up to get their 2nd vaccine dose sooner than expected, if the race against a new threat, the so called delta variant. first detective in india. this is the mid day

q in front of a london vaccination center that's offering students a shot. we all want to get rid of this and get back to normal and get rid of the things. but the delta very could spoil the plan to now dominant variant in the u. k. inspected to be at least 50 percent more contagious data to prove this is still lacking, but it's clear that cases are on the rise. in some regions there is a steep upward trend there lifting restrictions quite quickly. prime minister, boars, johnson, june 21st is released day. the end of the pandemic. everything move back to normal . but we still have a lot of people, a large percentage of people who are not fully protected. we are going to see a 3rd wave in the u. k, we are seeing already the case numbers are going up. initial studies show that fully vaccinated adults are sufficiently protected against the delta variance. a far smaller percentage of those who test positive are ending up in the hospital compared to before the vaccination campaign began. but scientists and politicians

are still debating on the best policy for reopening. i can see nothing in the data at the moment. that means we can't go ahead with step forward with the opening on june the 2021st. we've got to be so cautious it would be a mistake to commit to a reopening on the 21st of june. we've done to our cost over the last 15 months. that's delaying action can often mean it's too late. ritz are wary of giving up any of their new freedoms, but the more cautious policymakers warned that the next 2 weeks are critical in determining whether there's a new surgeon infections or centers. now, an important one of red balls. sergio perez has won a dramatic growing prius by sean. it was the mexicans, 2nd f one tripe. the championship leader, and current title holder both missed out on points. ferrari,

charlotte clack started on poa, threat crush, stream qualifying. and the rates on back in the st. circuit was just as chaotic defending champion, louis hamilton soon passed the ferrari in his mercedes but later gave up the lead, falling pit stop. to red bull max, the shop in the enemy after market lamp strove and stuff with a high speed crash when he's tired, failed pushed up and then almost exactly the same thing happened to him while leading. we've just 5 laps let the crash meant the race was stopped. and after a frantic re stop, hamilton got ahead of sergio perez. only to look up his brakes, an endo 15 mexican parrot sealed victory ahead of germany. the best instead

of back on the podium for the 1st time and aston martin. thank you. scott was available today, but the de ultimately belong to read both parents. they wouldn't have been very well. you're not doing that one to for the team. one of them, you know, it is about the document pushed up and delete the dr is championship from brittany hamilton. 2 this season is shaping up to be a lot more unpredictable than recent years. in soccer, germany had won the mens under 21 european put all championship bidding portugal one neil in the final in slovenia. lucas met sha, grabbed the goal earlier early in the 2nd half germany 3rd continental. triumphant . under 21 level, puts down a marker for the senior side with the euros. starting on friday. off more. we're joined now by jonathan craig from d. w. sports. so jonathan,

germany is under 20 ones, were not favored to be the top dog in this tournament. so how did they end up winning it? they weren't favorites by any stretch. in fact, the coach stuff and couldn't even said before the tournament id be happy if they just got out of the group stage. and he's really promoted, actually a lack of talent coming through in germany. and if you look at the squad, didn't have a single play from by munich, bush dormant, or i'll be like the top 3 teams in germany. but what they did have terry was an abundance of team spirit. the sense of togetherness, and a great story ready with the match. been a, been a lucas met jeff from manchester city. he actually used to play for england. he grew up there even played at this level for the english national side before switching leech and things will probably be kicking themselves. so they managed to keep him and he scored the winning goal of england in the previous year tournament ident port to go in the final so they'll be sick of the size of him. but i think really not the test for this team is you know, that transition from the 21,

the senior level. when jeremy last one, the tournament, this tournaments in 2017 only says nap re made it onto the senior score to the current senior score. so that rather kind of deficit life telling him that senior squad, germany's top tier team are playing their final euros warm up game against lot via tonight. how important is it for them to win that game? it's always the tricky thing. we friendlies, isn't it? how much important to attach the result is a when important or is it may be more important to try things out to bit give some of your fringe play as a chunk. clearly winning and going into a tournament with some kind of positive amend him is a good thing if we cost mines back to 2018 before the well kept germany has some dia friendly performances, and then of course they crashed out. i think coach left will mainly be hoping that the site keep it clean. see they they can see to go because defend, really has been where many of the problem now they've been a bit. i reproach the fact that you've got thomas miller and math for most to older

players back in the school will also help. it will help some of the more inexperienced players, because perhaps if there's something they can take from the other 21, it's it's deficiencies elsewhere. on the pitch that teen spirit, and togetherness can go a long way. germany is captain manuel neu, he'll become the 1st german goalkeeper to reach a 100 caps tonight. an important landmark for him. how much longer can the 35 year old stick around? well, i think either way says as long as he's kind of feeling up to rate as long as his body is up to ready keep fit, then he will continue playing that had been some talk last year before this 20th when it was supposed to be taking place last year that maybe that would be his last major international tournament within pay 3500 to stay going to come in. but the fact that he's the 1st co keep it to reach a 100 caps. and you've had fet maya, all of a con. the likes to those plays fantastic achievement and he is also aware of that . for me, he is very me, system number because we are

a national team always had great goalkeepers of the legend was still between the poses picked up again the social enforcement and the fact that i'm approaching the 100 mark makes me extremely proud. and therefore, i'm really looking forward to it, but it's not, you know, it's been a fantastic 7 really for the jeremy national side. but i'm sure if you asked him maybe freight in a few of those caps if you could. darren, see that he will be lifting that trophy in a few weeks time. winning is everything. and jonathan craig, from d. w for thank you so much. you're welcome. and finally, the duke and duchess of sussex, prince harry and megan markley, are now parents of a baby girl lily. but diana mon, button windsor, known as lily was born on friday. she's named after her great grandmother, queen elizabeth and her late grand mother,

diana princess of wales. both mother and baby are reported to be doing well. the american born royal is 8 in line to the british. just a quick reminder of the top story we're following for you today. here in d, w, a news angle of medical of conservatives have comfortably seen off a challenge from the populace bar, right alternative for germany and a regional election. the vote in the eastern state as facts me on touch is the last big test of public opinion before a general election in september. and judges in the netherlands will soon begin hearing evidence against foreman suspected of being behind the downing ablation airlines flight m a. 177 years ago, the 3 russians and ukranian national are still at war with
