the who's this is the w news coming to live from berlin. a sigh of relief from germany's political establishment for the far right fails to win a key state election. uncle american conservatives fight off the challenge from the populace. alternative for germany party will bring you all the latest reactions and ask you what the result means for the national election and september. also coming up, judges in the novel that was begin hearing evidence against for men,

accused of shooting down malaysia airlines flight m a. 177 years ago. we talked to families bracing to hear harrowing testimony about their loved ones that ended up taking kuranda virus cases, fuels anxiety in the u. k. we'll look at the highly contagious variance threatening to derail plans to lift pandemic restriction. ah, blow him, terry martin, good to heavy with us. the pol wright has failed to redraw germany's political map until american conservatives have comfortably seen off a challenge from the alternative for germany in the eastern state of saxony on hugs . the chancellor's party at the cpu one more than a 3rd of the boat. the a if the last boats, but still makes up the 2nd biggest block in the state parliament. that's followed

by the left party of the social democrats, the greens, the pre democrats and others. this ballot was closely watched as it was the last test of public opinion before september's national elections. for months in the pose, 2 parties were breathing down each other's next. here in the eastern german state of stack to me on house, in the endo, a resounding unexpectedly strong wind for the conservative fee to you and nothing close to an upset from the far right alternatives for germany. a f d. i was just on lot of the voters have taken a clear stand logo and a large majority of our citizens have said, we don't want to be associated in any way with the 3 latest and i'm very grateful for the shipping. you said done. many here insects to me on how to relatively poor estate, t i f t could when and would when it pulled strongly for months,

capitalizing on voted dissatisfaction with the panoramic while keeping to its core anti immigration message. instead, sundays result indicate the f. d may be weakening and it's strong hold areas, but it's putting a positive spin on the result. and as it is not the bad, we're very happy with the results. 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 to 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 it's back to me on how to use a small size to see, to use when here is a much needed boost to federal leader and law said he's got a lot on his place. like sending off the challenge nationally from the greens who were riding high in palm. if he succeeds lash, it's done the greatest chance of winning the biggest prize. replacing uncle michael as chancellor call me will spring in our political correspondent,

nina. how's it here in any nina's opinion? polls showed the far right if they had a chance of winning this election, insects, me on how, why are they so successful in eastern germany? well, there are 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 fact did come out strongest party with the under 30 year olds in saxony. unhealthy and that the representatives do belong to the far right political spectrum. the regional party representatives are actually being observed by the german intelligence service full of those extremist views. and the poles do show that half of those voters who voted h d. this time actually do support the content and policies that so they do place

a strong focus on nationalist day is very antsy immigration to liberal for the polls also show that the other half of a 50 voters still vote for the out of 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 hines? while again, there are many reasons that have to do not just with sex and the unknown, but with east and west in germany as a whole. the greens have chose the 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 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, on how to fight against climate change would go hand in hand with, for example,

improving living conditions so that the costs wouldn't explode. and they will definitely have to work on that because it's not just east in germany, where many people are skeptical. they do support the fight against climate change, but they say ok, now you have to show us the bill and you have to tell us what it is going to cost. now in germany has a federal election, a general election coming up in september needed. does this regional vote we just had there tell us anything about what to expect them definitely tells us one thing that the era of 2 big tens parties in germany. so the c, d, u, the conservatives on the one side and the s p d, as the representatives of the social democrats on the, on the other side is over in many regional elections in the recent past. over the last few months, people actually have supported the incumbent regional leader because they placed a strong focus on stability in the region. whether those leaders are from the c, d,

u, the s b d, or even the greens, those leaders get reelected. and the preference is change from region to region. so this is going to be very interesting to watch in september election. i will probably say very different comes 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. and also one more less than from saxony. 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. shar political correspondent, nina has a judges in the netherlands, are beginning hearing evidence against poor man. suspected of being behind the downing of malaysia airlines flight am age 17 over eastern ukraine. nearly 7 years ago. the 3 russians and the ukrainian national are still at large. they're facing murder charges and had sent you all 298 people on board m 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 sight next to the people airport has $290.00 a trees and total 3 of them are dedicated to pete flukes, 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 days to young daughters at the at the time. and so yeah, i had to tell the daughters that their father and 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 fluked chairs a foundation,

bringing together thousands of next of kin. he says the image, 17 disaster header, real impact on all of dirt society. when the bodies were repetitive. the whole dutch nation was, was, was watching it on television and the stairwell. but this was also very, very beautiful, that there was so much compassion among the dutch people, slight mh 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 into 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 families say this doesn't make the case any less important law has alarm, you know, also in time can take 5 can take 10 years, maybe 15 years and mr. 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 in policy or so there will be a shift in policy in this file. so they will have no rest. the suspects, i'm sure that peach 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, that we know what the role of the russia if they had the ro, what the role of the russia federation was not only push the button, but also who was in the and 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 ent and our corresponding marks, chanda who filed that report. join just now from amsterdam, max. it's been 7 years since the downing of m h. 17. what sort of evidence or the judge is expected to hear in this trial? yes, so up until now this trial has been dealing with mainly procedural issues. and now this week we are expecting the, the judges to hear for the 1st time be presented with the evidence. this is going to be mainly forensic evidence. for example, regarding the wreckage of image 17,

the reconstruction that the court had visited roughly. but we could go, but also forensic evidence regarding the, the bodies of, of the deceased. it is probably, or this is going to include them. the details very difficult to hear for, for the next 10 for the family members who are falling this trial from, from all over the world via a live stream or here at the, at the courthouse. but the, this is supposed to give some important insight into what actually brought down flight am at 17. and if this was by a missile strike from where was it fired the defendants in this trial next are still at large. they're being tried in a sense, you know, what more do we know about them and their whereabouts? right. so these are for men who are who are supposed to be responsible for the facilitation of his book surface to air missile system. they are not the only responsible people,

but they are responsible in this particular court case. these men are 3 russian nationals, one ukranian national. they all have very important roles within the rebel territory in the south eastern ukraine. and some of them also had important roles within the russian security for it is for example, of the rebel leader at the time you go to you can, he was a colonel. he was an intelligence officer with the russian security service, the f s p. prior to this, now they are all believed to be in russia and in the russian attics, ukraine. so far away from, from some, from the reach of dutch authorities. and they are very unlikely to be extradited if found guilty. have investigators. and the in this, in this case, have the, has a court of been getting any cooperation from moscow. that is a very important question here. so as far as we know, russia has been providing some evidence to investigators,

though we've heard from people close to this case that the, for example, satellite imagery that was provided by moscow, most likely it will have been been falsified. russia was not very cooperative from the very beginning. in 2014, when the downing of 17 1st occurred. russia came up with her own explanation for what happened there, pointed responsibility, not to the rebel fighters but to the ukrainian air force. for example. also, russia has been the very hesitant or has been hesitant and cooperating with, with the countries involved. for example, this case would have actually called for you in a tribunal moscow veto this in the un security council. moscow also pulled out of tri letter will talk with australia and with the never netherlands after the dutch government should russia at the european court of human rights. so russia in a way, was not only not cooperative, but in a way also obstructive and just to point out that we were looking at some live

pictures from the courtroom there as you were speaking, max, that was max under our correspondence in amsterdam. thank you. so much now let's take a look at some of the stories making headlines around the world today. in pakistan, over 30 people are dead. after 2 express trains collided at least say one of the trains derailed. and then the other slammed into rescuers are still pulling victims from the wreckage. it's not clear what caused the hottest group boca her rom, has confirmed that its leader buck chicago died in fighting against the islamic state group 2 weeks ago. his death marks a major shift in nigeria is 12 year old. your how does insurgency this has killed more than 40000 people and displaced around 2000000 in the northeast, russian opposition figure dmitri good coff has left his country after kremlin insiders warranty would be arrested if he stayed. who'd call says the government

wants to keep him from running, and parliamentary elections kremlin has said, recent arrests of opposition figures are not politically motivated. and mexico's electoral commission says president andrea minor lopez over the doors ruling party is likely to lose its majority in the lower house of congress following sundays elections there. the vote was seen as a referendum on his presidency and his plans to make big changes to mexican institutions. to peruse, presidential run off early election results, show right wing populous k. kofuji more with a narrow lead over her leftist opponent. pedro castillo, with 80 percent of the votes counted, could you maury has scored around 52 percent of the boat to cost us 48 percent. the election comes through faces enormous challenges. the country has been one of the

worst hit in the world bike over 19, the pandemic is polarized letters and sent the economy into a crisis. d. w correspondent, johan ramirez, has more from the previous capital, lima. me. this is how the 1st official results are here, and we are a brought off the headquarter off for him already there. right? we can do that here. people are celebrating because according to the electoral authority, she got on the burden advantage over last week. i got it at bedroom, got that these results are now definitive. the rule of both has not been counted on that. it's a very important because better garcia has a huge supers in rural areas, so no one can still take for granted. a victory for him are in is johan ramirez. they are reporting from lima. now the u. k. has been planning to loosen lockdown restrictions later. this month in the wake of its success of its

back, some nation program around 3 quarters of adults in the country have now received. at least one can read a virus job. and infection rates have fallen dramatically. yet millions have the are still to be fully vaccinated. and 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. it's a race against a new threat, the so called delta variant, 1st 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, then get back to normal and get rid of the things. but the delta varying could spoil the plan for now. dominant variant in the u. k is suspected 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 or 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, or 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 21st. we've got to be so cautious it would be a mistake to commit to reopening on the 21st of june. we've done to our

cost over the last 15 months. delaying action can often mean it's too late. the brits 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. so of course there's now and, and for me, one red bulls. sergio perez has one and dramatic grand prix in algebra. john, it was the mexican 2nd f one triumph, the championship leader and current title holder both missed out on points. the ferrari shot the class started on poll after a crush stream qualifying, and the rates on the back of the street circuit was just as chaotic defending champion. louis hamilton soon passed the ferrari in his mercedes but later gave up the lead, pulling pit stop. to read bull mack sharpen the

enemy after market lamp strove and so for the high speed crash when he's tired, failed to stop and then almost exactly the same thing happened to him while leading . we've just 5 laps left. the crash meant the race was stopped. and after a frantic restart, hamilton got ahead of sergio perez. only to look up his breaks and up 15 mexican paris seals victory ahead of germany. sebastian fell back on the podium for the 1st time in an acid mouth in thank you. guy was amazing today, but the day ultimately belong to read both parents. they wouldn't have been incredible. you're not to hear that one to for the game. one of them, you know, it is not my best judgment for stop and to leave the drive is championship from britain hamilton. 2 but this season is shaping up to be

a lot more unpredictable than recent years. in soccer germany have won the mens under $21.00 european football championship, bidding portugal one bill in the final in slovenia. lucas met sha, grab the goal early in the 2nd half. germany's 3rd continental triumph at under $21.00 level puts down a marker for the senior side with the euro's 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 steph, and grooms even said before the tournament, he'd be happy if they just got out of the group stage. and he's really promoting that really a lack of talent coming through in germany. and if you look at the squad, going to have a single class by munich, bursey dorman,

or i'll be like the top 3 teams in germany. but what they did have terry was an abundance of team spirit, this sense of togetherness, and a great story ready with the match winner from lucas met jeff from manchester city . he actually used to play for england, so he grew up there even played at this level for the english national side before switching a legion think it will probably be kicking themselves or they didn't manage to keep him. and he scored the winning goal for 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 now the test for this team is, you know, that transition from the, the 21, the senior level. when jeremy last one, the tournament. this tournament in 2017 only says snobbery has made it onto the senior score to the current senior score. so that rather kind of deaf julys, telling me that senior squad, germany's top tier team are playing their final euros warm up game against lot the tonight. how important is it for them to win that game?

first, the tricky thing, reframe these, 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 chance. clearly winning and going into a tournament with some kind of positive amend him is a good thing if we tossed our minds back to 2018 before the welcome germany has some dia, friendly performances, and then of course they crossed out. i think coach yankee left will mainly be hoping that the site keep it clean. see, they don't concede to go because defend really has been where many of the problem they've been a bit. i reprogram the fact you've got thomas miller and that's 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 under 20 ones that it's deficiencies elsewhere on the pitch that teen spirit and togetherness can go a long way. germany is captain manuel noah. 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 up stick around? well, i think he's are way said 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. there had been some talk last year before this 20th when it was supposed to be taking place last year. maybe that would be his last major international tournament trucks within pay $300.00 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 that maya of a con, like to bass players to fantastic achievement. and he is also aware of that. for me, he is very me in system all the number because we are a national team to always have a great goal keeper of the legend was still between the poses picked up again, the 1st is done 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 no use on that for you in 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 database for it, thank you so much. you're welcome. and finally the duke and duchess of sussex, prince harry and megan. mark le are now parents of a baby girl. only bit diana mon windsor known as lily was born on friday. she's named after her great grandmother, queen elizabeth and her late grandmother diana, princess of wales. both mother and baby are said to be doing well. the american born royal is 8 in line to the british and just a minor bar top story here that we're following for u d. w. so uncle emacula, conservative, comfortable is seen off a challenge from the populace. alright, alternative for germany and a regional election. the boat in the eastern state of sax, me on hutch,

is the big is the last big test of a public opinion for a general election in september and judges in netherlands. are hearing evidence against 4 men suspected of being behind the downing of police airlines flight. and 177 years ago, the 3 russians, ukrainian national, are still at large. you're watching the w news. will big tech companies soon be paying a lot more in taxes on it? jones is up next with us story and more. they was whose the, whose the news, the news news

news, the the the, the code me speed in

expedition into the way to the ring mammals communicate. we accompany a research team to the pacific and to decode the language of wales in 45 minutes on the w. o. cutting through the noise. where i come from, people are known for being fair and your can be loud. and people tell it like it is, they call it the concrete jungle. melton city that never sleep. it's this energy that makes it feel like home. but amid the hustle, it's important to listen and pay it because it's not just the loudest needs to be heard. we all have a story and i see it is my job. as a journalist,

it goes beyond the obvious. now i'm basically europe and my work takes me around the world. but my instincts for me the space to tell the important stories behind the headline. what is the heart of the story? why does it matter? impacts the focus that you want to cover the noise to get to the truth. my name is sarah kelly, and i work with the the taxman. it's coming a 50 percent minimum tax on multi nationals. that's what the g 7 finance ministers agreed on, but are 15 percent enough and who else needs to be on board to make this a global minimum tax go to london and frankfort was also coming up.
