10:02 pm
the song of ok and commenced alliance or b s. w, which is a new left wing populace. body is made its debut with nearly 16 percent. the live party that had been leading a fragile minority government suffered massive losses. it's projected to get around 13 percent the same to left social democrats, all of the federal council, olaf sholtes, have jumpstart the 6 percent. the greens have a little over 3 and the free democrats just over one percent the own hook, the leader of the fi ride alternative to germany in the state of the ranges soon as he wants to hit off the coalition government in the state. v as in we are ready to take on the responsibility of forming a government to parliament as parliamentary tradition here in germany that the strongest policy invites others. the tools in the coming week will hold talks and the party committees will analyze the situation. and then we'll decide to who will present the office of talks find these extra place on the board. corresponded
10:03 pm
matthew more easily in the state polymer and all of the of the range yet matthew, good to see you. the leader of the file. right. this is he wants to govern. is he going to be able to is going to be very difficult, jarrett not least because he is the leader of party, which the main stream political establishment in germany has said that they will not work with the fond brand. my wife, as in german, a firewall around the pots, he said that he will not work with them because we consider them to be extreme. is betia the anti democratic? that's going to make it very, very difficult for the young hook up to form a call. let you know, he said tonight, as we had he said to the other party to come and sit down with him and negotiate at least one, the not to ignore the the. and that's a warning that she can actually no use because as it stands, his party has a blocking minority, which means they can really stop even a, for an election being cold at any time. so the other parts are really gonna have to cut the heads together and see if they can overcome the differences that the have
10:04 pm
a lot of them really deep line differences of a big issue. so can be on who can form a government, i think is going to be incredibly difficult at this stage. but it's interesting that distinction you make to matthew because even if they con, governed nice deal will be able to wield significant influence. now where you would, there was a protest early uh, how have people being reacting to this news that so there was a i guess, dejection from the evening even before the results came out. jared, people have been expecting this mo, a fall out of the time. you know, people are saying not many shots, we have no illusions we know the far right or wrong or on the march here. however, the said there was important come together on to show that there is a kind of peaceful there is a approved democracy. there isn't on the far right majority in the state, not as worth bearing in mind, even as we said here on this historic moment as a milestone moment. and the rise of the far right in germany, that 70 percent or so of water is around dot step, bought it for all the parties,
10:05 pm
and what makes the so so kind of strong is the flight to germany has a very fragmented multi party system. no boot over here tonight is one basically that we're in a turning point that people need to wake up and allow us why kind of have from people directly here. we're just saying, you know, that the only hope to have now is that people and political leaders here into wynja on across to how many really stick to the promises to have this firewall in place. not firewall is this, there's this refusal to cooperate and any sort of business on the state level or national level with the far right, i'll tend to forget how many potty i'm going to see now how, how, how, how strong that fire. well, really is in the coming weeks and months, matthew, you've been traveling right across the region in race and weeks. tell us what have voices, main concerns being as they've been speaking to you ahead of a selection. on the one hand, you have acute concerns about what the far right the, the coming talk. the nest actually means what it means for the story that they're
10:06 pm
tell themselves the right. the drumline 11 with this movement is really, i'm moving to reckon with because you know, germany has done a lot of work, painstaking work in the decades since the 2nd world war to really overcome is passed. and this is seen as for many democratic jennings, some who really think what is going on in my country. on the other hand, you've got people who are support to the f d. they're supporting parties who are on the extreme. the populace let, just coasting did it in the country is going in completely the wrong direction that the federal government in belin, which is run by court. i should've potties that. they're basically, they've got a heads in the sand about the problems that germany faces, that they're the drag and drop it into a war that involve russia and ukraine. and that's no and that germany's interest, then you've got the, the best on the line issue of migration here and are generally some boss of country 18000000 people. and the numbers of migrants a regular microns arriving here. every are really quite small in comparison, but still the issue has mass of come through when you asked germans what they care about. migration is way up there. and this was
10:07 pm
a regional election. jarrett was talking about regional elections to do with local issues. and the big issues on the campaign on peace migration. so issues that are really kind of geo political, national picture and that's just fed through what resulted in tonight is a story for so when it, the basically managed to write this wave of, of upset and i'm going for station on ticket to, to, to the top position, i'll just see, we don't know yet whether the f d will actually manage to, to form a government. that's not political correspondent, mac you more in the, in through india speaking to us about the election results. they and matthew, thank. so let's go over to saxony now the neighboring state and look at the expected results. very projections are indicating a slight lead for the conservative christian democrats or cd. you're right now the cd you using the governing coalition with the greens and the sense of lift social democrats. let's look at these projections. they've got the cd, you on track to win almost 32 percent of the vote there, followed just behind by the a if the on 13.8 percent, then you come a, b s, w,
10:08 pm
solve a value and connects to lines. he's in 3rd place, taking some 12 percent chance little actual to social democrats, the s p d there in 4th, with 7.3 percent, followed by the greens with just over 5 percent of the fights. now me say eclipse. my is the leader of the cd. you're in the state of saxony. he's also the card premier today. he st. potty workers and support as a short time ago in the united states. dear friends. yeah, we have every reason. right. there's only 5 hard years are now behind us national elections. europe and elections are behind 5. so hope of a is this natalie. all know how disappointed people are with what's happening in maryland. when do you? most of the people here in saxony trusted us. yeah. and vaccine,
10:09 pm
once that's all it. yeah, because it didn't, the task to protest go instead, they gave us a strong result with our support, the congratulations. and so thank you very much for making the minds. i'm going to come up here. let's close now to the w. political correspondent, julia thought, daily interest in who was at the f t election party a little bit earlier. now, julia, the i f t is projected to come 2nd in saxon a, which is the best as a result de what's being the reaction among the party that so we saw earlier some reactions of satisfaction and reactions of joy because uh, this is uh, a good result for the a if the they have gain a gain votes compared to of the election state election here 5 years ago. and they have come in a 2nd again. and they've gotten closer and closer to the seed you that is ahead of them at the moment, projects, projections showing just
10:10 pm
a one percent difference between the 2 parties. there was a bit of shooting disappointment, i would say, because i think there was hope that the a fee would also be able to maybe come in 1st here and fax me to him. that would have been a really a groundbreaking result because it was really a neck and neck race with the cd you. some were still hoping that this might happen as the votes kept coming in and keep coming in during the evening. there was also some rejoicing and celebration when members of the a, if the saw other parties who they really don't likely they see some of them see as their main enemies forever, for example, the greens not performing particularly well. but there are also people considering what kinds of consequences this result may have at the national level. and we can take a listen. we as some people there, what they thought about this issue, that was the result was there are, there's actually be consequences at the federal level. but since we know that these are all ministers who included their chairs,
10:11 pm
nothing's likely to happen. the federal government must also take into account what's happening in the regional state and how people become tired of politics. us . and of course, this must have consequences that haven't we done well. and the f d is actually a very good party bundle with bad talk before the election. that's not right. definitely. no one big thing that i think the, the has potential for the future for the children and in general, things are gone. so my know back to julia, so the only interest in julia is we just heard a of the members demanding consequences on the national level. do you think that the result for the a stay, not only in saxony, but the range you to is, is also a wakeup call for the federal government in berlin. think in some way it is. but i think the biggest wakeup call is actually the very bad results that the 3
10:12 pm
parties that are at in the coalition government in berlin at the federal level. again, in these 2 elections, the liberal f t p is out of the both parliament's had terrible results. the green are now out of the parliament in interchange and barely made it into saxony. so clearly there is a big dissatisfaction with the government in berlin. something that the a fee has, has banked on, has played on to, to get the results that they got here. and uh, we have to keep in mind there is still one state election happening in about 3 weeks in brandenburg also in eastern germany. and once that happens and plays out, there might be some consequences also that the coalition government in berlin is going to have to draw from these results. julia, as we've been hearing, no one really wants to form a coalition with the i f t but kind of potty thought wins. so many votes be ignored or yeah, well they, they have about one 3rd of,
10:13 pm
of the parliament and that isn't, doesn't seem to be enough for them to take on the role of what is known as the blocking minority once the one party controls, even if it's in the opposition, one 3rd of the votes, they can block a lot of the should decisions that were crier a to 3rd majority in the state parliament. and now that doesn't seem to be the case according to the projections, but the party will still have a lot of influence. and we've heard from people at the, at the party, at the election party of the a if the questioning why the other parties don't want to go into a collision with them. when woman told me that she thought actually the cd, you the conservative cd you and the a if the could work very well together. but basically the result now is that there isn't really a collision that can, can find a good majority without the a if d and the parties again are trying to keep that firewall up and not wanting to
10:14 pm
involve the if the in a coalition. but it's going to be really hard to try to form a governments here in sex any the state of the political correspondent, julia, so deli in dresden for us. julia, thank you. and i'm going to get into the studio by uh, richard walker out chief international editor, which is great to have you back. now looking at all of these results so far, what are some of the things that stand out to you? yeah, well i guess, i guess jared, that the biggest thing that really stands out about tonight is this sense of, of a kind of a historic step being taken in the states of the range. you had that for the 1st time in post for german history that the far right archie has his one a stay selection and, and that not just being and events in isolation. but if you pull back and look at, well, what is the journey of this policy being the a f t the will tend for germany. so it was founded just over to a decade ago,
10:15 pm
2013. and it's been on this kind of steady roll since then. it's not being completely uniform, but it is steadily grown impala ever since. that time. during the course of this summer, it has taken 2 major steps forward festival and the european elections, which took place earlier in the summer where the f d a polled 2nd. so it came in 2nd off of the mainstream conservatives across germany. and now it is kind of game this water side of winning a state level election. and as we've been hearing for, for from everyone on board today, you know, it doesn't look like they're going to join government. but you know, i was at the f d potty conference on a month or 2 ago and spoke to, you know, one of the people from the syringe, a f t that and he said we know the, we're not going to get into government, but that's fine. we'll let the other guys then get into government, they'll make a mess of it. and then next time we'll get into
10:16 pm
a government. so and so indicating that the playing and kind of a long game and, and for a film that we've been working on on the a, if these foreign policy, which will be the publishing soon on the on d, w, use youtube, we spoke to alice vital, the head of the policy and us do you know, what's her goal with, with power on the national level? you know, at what point does she think, you know, she hoping to be able to get to that? and she said, well, i realize that next year is not so likely, but you know, she thought that it might be possible in the year 2029. now we should really emphasize that's a very long way off. i don't mean in terms of time, but they would have to get a lot further than they are now to, to have any prospect of joining national government just from what we've heard of course. but that's a long game they're playing. and if you look at this from a historical perspective, you'll have to bundle, well, you know, you know, how far will they get? really interesting, richard mountain stay with this big. going to come back to you in just a moment about the different aspects of these selections. let's talk about
10:17 pm
a brand new populace potty that's performed very well in these selections. it's called the saga vog and connects to lines also known as b s. w, which is named after it's found now, is probably isn't even the role that hits come food in both through india and sacks, and they, it combines a left wing economic policy with an agenda to con immigration and oppose germany's support for you crime. the posse leaders say she's ready to work in coalition with all this. eventually i'm the step below the people of 70. i want a stable governments. i know majority government, most importantly, the ones that government that represents their interests and addresses their problems. but of course, they also want to voice the national politics, a voice for peace diplomacy against us miss o sites. we are hoping that together with cd you, we will end up with a good governments. likely one, including the s p d as the polls are showing. i hope it will work. well,
10:18 pm
the people don't want is another government where they are disappointed. we don't want to be part of such a government the timing to solve those are going to miss that backwards. richard walker out chief international editor. richard, how do you explain that a policy that didn't exist a year ago is now on the verge of potentially going into government? yeah, it's quite amazing. and the judge, i mean, just kind of goes to show how to feed brilee the political environment in germany. right. now, this, this sense that the public is angry and frustrated with the mainstream political parties, particularly with the, the government that is in power on the federal level, which is a 3 way coalition, which is being beset by in fighting and has, has really kind of struggle to, to, to get, you know, a sense of the common purpose across to the, to the public. and this policy that is being found at the last few months. i was
10:19 pm
just recently in the range of one of the states where, where they've now made these big gains in the leads of that were saying quite openly, well, you know, we provide a home for people who have very frustrated with the mainstream parties. but who are also taught turned off by what they see is the extremism of the far right, a f d. so this is kind of opening up a new nice for that. and it's led by who we just sold this up. i can connect to the very a charismatic personality. who has it has, has a great personal drool which goes down very well with a, with a lot of supporters, particularly in east in germany where she was. she hails from the, to the extent that the name of the policy carries her own name. right. i mean, we have seen phenomena like that in other countries, like in france and manually mccall, you know, the president of france and the he set up his own political project and, but he didn't name it off to myself. yeah. so it's is quite
10:20 pm
a phenomenon and it is interesting is that now this, the b s, w, the, the, the solving by solve of i can connect to lines, is a populace potty on the left to. but it does have overlap with the fi ride and the number of issues when it comes to immigration, when it comes to germany, support for you cry and talk to us about this. how they nice. yeah. so yeah, it, it has some quite sort of standard left when even potentially some antique capital is kind of policy. so in terms of economics and that reflects its heritage. you know that. so the b s. w is the, the, the acronym is if you can call it is as a splinter from a splinter from a splinter, you know, so it off to german reunification that the beginning of the 1990s, a new policy was formed in east germany called a p. d. s which has it had its roots in the former communist party that the hedge ruled east germany. then later there was a split from the social democrats,
10:21 pm
the main stream sent to left, which joined with that to become the left party. and now this, the b s, w has splintered off from that so. so is this kind of a splintering of fragmentation that's been going on in german politics of the last kind of 20 years ago? the diesel. so a result of this. and that's why you end it, you've ended up with this b s w policy that has some of those routes kind of antique capitalist. but it is also feeding off some of the sentiment that you see in the a, f d, which is against immigration. and it comes less from a, maybe a cultural attitude towards immigration, or maybe even a racially change to actually to, to, towards immigration, which you sometimes get from the f d. that has more of an economic emphasis. so they're suggesting that the country cannot handle economic to that, that number of, of people coming in plus then on the ukraine, russia war is kind of a bit like so old school left wing. and it kind of pro peace policies saying that
10:22 pm
germany shouldn't be providing weapons in this war against russia for the ukrainians, and that it and the german you should be going for negotiations instead. so it was a very interesting kind of merge of, of left and right policies that have come here. let's d, w 's, chief international and it's richard walker. richard, thank you very much for that. and of course, throughout the evening, we'll have more on these crucial regional elections. in germany's a spot, we're going to take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines today. the process is it's intercepted mold in $160.00 drawings launched by new crime targets included moscow and the surrounding region fires broke out at an oil refinery and at a power station. the cost region way ukraine has launched and offensive was also targeted memo. poland has marks as the 5 years since world war 2 began with this. there are many adverse to plaza with nazi germany attacked in 1959 associate union
