a professor of politics at the university of sussex in the united kingdom, asked how he accounts for the a f d success as well. there's lots of different reasons, some show to some of much longer to the most obvious reasons to do with ukraine. many in east, in germany are deeply unhappy with the way the german government has dealt with the issue of ukraine. they are arguably a little bit more sympathetic towards russia than those in west, in germany. there's a lot of unhappiness to do with the current federal government and all 3 policies in the federal government performed abysmally in these 2 states elections. much longer to this, dissatisfaction weighs the fort from jim and unification, which is now one of a 30 years ago. but many in the field deeply unhappy with the way that unification has developed this not really want to go back to the judy all but they don't to protest by some of the things that they feel i've been
3:05 am
a i've ended up with them getting this to an end of the wedge. so why so why so much anger at the current german government beyond the war in ukraine? as well as having german government is, is very new in the sense it is 3 boxes on gym and governments of not in the past been 3 policies working together that being 2 boxes. and on the face of it, you might think, well, you know, one extra product you might not make that much difference. but the present german government has been very, very, and effective at getting more or less. and the thing done on jet was a very unhappy with public services. they're very unhappy with the, the way that money is spent or not spent in germany. there's a real issue with the budget as a gaping hole this, that the german government has not been able to fail. and whatever the german government is trying to do, it's either failed or is never even got off the grinding trying to achieve these things. so many in the east fail that it's, it's just not been effective,
3:06 am
getting anything done and it's even made things worse. so it's 32 percent of the vote going to a party, the a f d that is considered in the state of the range and extremist organization by a german domestic intelligence. what is the chance of this party actually governing and they are in through india? so that's always the 1st name and date because the other part is i'm not gonna touch it. and despite what people are getting, how come i claim that they can make all the offices. i like that the other policies are not going to go anywhere near it's on the if the guys are well aware of that, the problem for all of the other policies is that there is not really any of the coalitions that naturally looked like. they might look, there's an awful lot of slots can it's going to have to be, you know, that i have to be i that if any coalition is going to come together entering in 30
3:07 am
and that's a goal. so there's a real problem. no one wants to where they asked a, but no one has any real valuable alternate save to get a government together so. so that means we got, yeah we, we, we got a real problem can help you as a professor of politics at the university of sussex. thank you. my pleasure. now, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. russia says it has intercepted more than a 150 drones launched by ukraine. officials said targets included moscow and the surrounding region are falling. debris ignited fires at a power station as an oil refinery. russian authorities say they have located 17 bodies at a helicopter crash site. the aircraft went missing shortly after taking off with 22 people on board. most of the passengers with tourists visiting the remote comp shatka peninsula. the mass demonstrations have taken place across
3:08 am
israel, pressuring the government to make a deal with some us to free hostages still held and gaza. the protests come after israel's military said 6 hostages were killed by their homeless captors shortly before soldiers found them in a tunnel. the anger and frustration boil over on the street, the teller, the police clash with demonstrators, they've come out in the 10s of thousands to demand an immediate sizes ceasefire. deal that would allow the remaining hostages, kidnapped on october the 7th to come home. the accused prime minister benjamin netanyahu of prolonging the war for political gain, of putting his own government's political survival above the lives of the hostages . the issue is slim. more protesters.
3:09 am
this rally is taking place outside. the prime minister's office is part of a wave of nationwide grief and anger ripping israel as the bodies of 6 more hostages are recovered from gaza. 2 the. ready you can play with the civilian slides, you cannot do that and with demand with demand video to be right now, that's why we marching for this one with the many amenities ma'am, are the hostages here against the government and calling on the demonstrations are taking place on the same date,
3:10 am
funeral services are under way a for the hostages. their bodies recovered a day earlier in a tunnel under the city of rossa and southern gaza. according to the military, they were killed by whom us ours, before their bodies were discovered. for more and more is released, the blame for this lies with their government because it was unable to secure a deal to bring them home. joining their campaign of pressure on the government, a powerful new ally, the head of israel's largest trade union come when the last 11 months, i have shown responsibility. no more. i called on the people of israel to take the streets to leave the workplaces i call on old economic organizations of the state of israel joined the strike. okay. have you been here before? yeah, before this should be the bar. that'd be just calling for a one day general strike on monday. is union represents some 800000 workers in areas as diverse as health care, transportation, and banking. the strike would also include israel's ben,
3:11 am
glory on airport halting all flights, coming in and out. showing them lift, narrow it worked for 7 consecutive is really prime ministers. lastly, as advisor to the ministry, strategic affairs is now with the atlanta council think tank and joins us from new york. so um these 6 hostages survived almost 11 months in captivity, only to apparently be killed just hours before the idea of got to them. can be, is really government still credibly say that it's fighting to save the hostages? a good, see what's the davis? well, i mean, i think clearly the strategy the government has taken, has not been effective, has been, has not been as effective as able to help them. and some of the, some of the hostages have been brought home as a result of 3 idea for operations. and costs are right now um, but you know this strategically, it has not produced that larger deal that the government is a testing to be seeking to get the rest of them out and,
3:12 am
and time is running of loss hostages right now. so. so impressions around one and um, and you know, a lot of the, a plane was being placed on the shoulders of the government right now is, and that's where it finds its source equipment. in fact that it's been unsuccessful . so, so far to bring those people out, i mean, and if we and we look at what apparently happened that they were killed just hours before as really soldiers got there. that combined with this mounting pressure on that. and yahoo is all this going to force him to make a deal with him, us or to change this strategy doesn't actually appear that way on the surface. i mean, it's a now continues to be a device to figuring this really politics. there is a degree of, uh, a larger we have some of the, i would say for as you know, his attitude towards some us, after october 7th, obviously, but at the same time as broad disaffection with, with how he's waged to campaign in casa, obviously, with his inability so far that the government to secure freedom for the hostages. and that's why we're seeing this release back of in the streets right now. um, it doesn't,
3:13 am
it doesn't immediately looks like he's planning on changing his approach. and so we the protest to, to open it by bringing out these masses into the streets. you know, that public opinion will be able to ship that, you know, hopefully to buy pounds. and we are seeing hundreds of thousands of israelis out on the streets, protesting against the government. how much support, though, does netanyahu have actually, among israelis, to continue the war and gaza as listen trailing consistently in the pole since the beginning of this conflict? so, i mean, it would seem on the surface, there is not a larger view of support, but the, you know, the dynamics of as rarely politics are complicated and to be able to unite the opposition in an effort to push the fancy share more to bring together people on the coalition to join with members of the opposition to do that, you know, quite as almost what seems to be a superhuman effort. so we haven't seen that happen yet. um, you know, when right now, after the events of this weekend, you know, clearly people see this potentially as
3:14 am
a trigger. so maybe try and change that balance. but they've been successful in doing that so far so remains to be seen. you know, that can happen right? now, showing that flipping are, thank you. good to be with you as well here in europe, the eiffel tower will keep the olympic rings that have been in place since june, paris mirror, and the dog. oh says the rings will remain on the structure once the paralympic games are over, but they will be replaced by more light weight versions as the diagnose, as the current ones are too heavy to hold out for long. and a reminder of our top story, this our, for the 1st time since world war 2 a far right party is one, a state election in germany. the alternative for germany party, the f d one more than 32 percent of the vote. and the eastern states of the rims. yeah. without your up to date,
