the, the, this is dw, use live from berlin, germany social democrats, edge of the far right in a t regional election. the cd of transfer off show celebrate their win over the alternative for germany party in brandenburg. but the states governor closed their razor thin victory. a wakeup call. and as rainy forces raised the offices of the algae, is there a news channel in the west bank, ordering it to close israel, time stick, atari fraud, cost or insights? terror, which is eric holes. the raid a criminal act, an attack on press freedom, the

unpopular police. welcome to the program. germany. social democrats have pulled off a narrow window over the far right in the regional election in the state of brandenburg poles. the head of the vote had the far right alternative for germany ahead. but the results put the incumbent. s p. d, the party of chimes that are off schultz. ahead by a narrow margin. let's take a look at the results in detail. the center left the social democratic need with 30.9 percent. while the far right f t gets 29.2 percent. that's a gain of almost 6 points since 2019 the conservative cd you party is on 12 point one percent. the new left is conservatives of buying connect alliance or b s. w gets 13.5 percent. the greens are on 4 point one percent. that mean is

the green party, which is currently part of brenda birds. coalition government has dropped below the 5 percent threshold require to enter the state parliament. so even with a 2nd place, finish the a if these gains were significant and they add to a good showing into other regional elections base months. but the social democrats, the results, gifts cause for cautious optimism. finally, something to cheer about the social democrats have been dreaming in this selection . which a lead dramatic swing seems to have secured the b, b, c, maybe a here another 5 years in power. and yet that was the 2nd place finish of the fall, right? f d that go pull the names in his victory speech. ida is an openly enlarged parts and in its entirety of right wing extremist party can

achieve around 30 percent of the vote in our stay. and that is a huge alarm signal for all of us for all democrats. and for all those who stand for freedom, openness and, and tolerance on seeing these and was, i don't think not. this was the moment the alternative to frontier. how many land v hadn't come 1st. still a 2nd place finish reason enough to be happy for a party that despite being designated to part the right when extremist by security to services is growing in strength. the analysis will also show that we are the party of the future. if you want to political change and transition, then you will have to elect a f d. so this is a staging victory, and we are celebrating this victory today. the next 2 actions are coming and will be right at the front. for sure. it was a measurable night for the christian democrats that he had hoped to capitalize on

and go towards the parties in power in berlin, but ended up losing support. despite the tiers, the could well end up back in portion with their slots. the greens are hoping to at least squeak back into parliament. if they don't keep presents, an opening for the new kid on the block in any future coalition is out of i can connect to lions, which mix is left wing economic policies with a tough fly. no migration. the manage the solid 12 percent for now to the winter of the night is brenda birds, s p. d liter dispute. you're all set to be secured on worsted. the pressure on the national government. relieved for know what our pinnacle correspondents, my few more fall that report matthews, here in the studio with me to break this down a little bit further. matthew, great to see you. so the social democrats, german, chancellor or shells, his party have won these elections. but this,

this take the pressure of him and his party. now, this certainly buys a lot, show just tons, little of salt, the head of the social democrats advice and some reading space. but it feels like it's a victory that's being kind of snatched from the jaws of defeat. you remember a love show it to the head of a 3 way call election in babylon. and their approval ratings are terrible threat. 15 percent, roughly nationally, on the beam behind in this race and brandenburg bought the minus to kind of pruitt box. so there are behind for 4 weeks and this race at one point, a 20 percent if managed, it looks like it, almost fucked. you one percent the vote and the believe people in the s b d. believe that is a is a blueprint if you like a model for all of shorts as he looks ahead to the election next year. the national elections. they're saying look, electrolytes and the s p d can come back from a prep position. where's the run right now, nationally, and go when you go to remember this, let's kind of did you know the differences here in brenda?

but the head of the, the, that's the day of the social democrats, deep avoid cost as much loft. he basically made this a referendum about him. he said, if you want be back in power, you've got to vote for the s p d. the one else is going to get your that. and that kind of message was kind of seen as quite critical. actually, people said, always black mailing the voltage, but it may and that's a can in this case and stuff. what? so at the moment all of shorts proves a 5 release tonight, but it's really not over for him. and then also underlying problems for his part in the coalition and bell. and you have plenty of conversations or i'm sure will be hard. now the far right a if the did very well at, they managed to in almost 30 percent of the vote. why did they resonate with so many voters and especially younger boat voters? it appears. i think it was like a coming together of issues for the, the not just in this election by and the other 2 elections that went out later this month. do all of these, alexis, 3 c elections happen to the east and as a confidence of issues, right? you got the warning ukraine. people in the east of germany,

less supportive of germany sending weapons to cream n, s y. and that's fight to, to get russian soldiers and russian puts out of the scope of his territory. so they kind of concerned about that in the security issues. you've got inflation, the economy's been quite bad in germany recently. people concerned about that. that's especially important for people in the east, whether the net wealth is, is much lower than no friends in germany. and then you've got migration that's an issue has come to the for in recent months. and the f d is a policy that basically has been say we've got the solution, so there's no more migration. we close the borders, we the poor people that have applied for asylum, hear them out, their applications rejected. i think some very, very tough line. and so for a lot of people, they look to run into these problems and the solve the f d as us that the answer. you also remember, as i said, frustration with the coalition government invalid. so this is also a focus on people that's which is the forecast for the mix of things. and then the young people. yeah. also have the young people who are basically say and they feel

concerned about security safety issues. and then make sense about the these been really, really good targeting those people and take talk on social media and all come together, thought they couldn't quite get forth possession for place. but we'll see next year alexis, we'll see what happens. feel great to having the studio to break it down for us. give us some analysis and plenty of conversations i think will be hard about this and the next coming and the coming months and year projecting. did all these things look correspond to matthew more all right, moving on. now, while, while his party is celebrating, what looks like a victory here in germany transfer off schultz is in new york ahead of next week's new and general assembly. earlier world leaders adopted walk the un calls the pact of the future. shaw said it would create more trust in the united nations. the pac tackles challenges such as war or climate change. it also calls for an adjustment of the international financial system in favor of the global side. and it aims to

the grounds for a global regulation of artificial intelligence. the pact was negotiated under the leadership of germany and the baby. and here's what you all have to say tankless. so i'm very glad that germany was able to get the media to facilitate this process . we've worked very hard to do in the nearly 2 years that are behind us. and i'm very convinced that the reach consensus is the basis for the necessary progress within the united nations, but also in or what but the cooperation and would you let the religion uh the key instrument, forgetting to affect the future. i think every country was at the table when we had the discussion, some of the last time i did this, a loud, clear to the states and countries of the board are willing to go into this direction,

which is now the basis for our corporation. and those who this sent in the end to bits would have to adjust. let's take a look and add some more stories, making headlines around the world. rescue workers in japan are searching for at least 6 people missing after heavy rain and the central region of know till the rain full triggered land slides and floods. at least one person was killed in tens of thousands of pain evacuated. the region is still recovering from a new year's day earthquake. israel says that stroke has bella targets in southern 11 on after more than a 150 missiles. rockets and drones were launch towards is ready territory overnight into sunday. the militant group has paula said the attack was in response to an earlier wave of his ready air strikes on southern level is ready. air strike is killed. 7 people in a school sheltering displaced families and gaza safety. according to the homeless

i think what we have to question is, uh, the, the will of the israeli authorities to have specific lower than specific regression start using the channel. the shuttle is one of the most seen within the region and it has an impact. this is a channel that a, he's well known for its reports, which are um, you know, numerous accurate and art and in 9 with the international standards of journalism. so i'm trying to dp and the 0 as a proof. i got an outlet as a tourism group is a technique in order to silence a drones and warranty of that name. as trolanda has a new president elect a nora camara. this a nayika has claimed victory after winning just over 42 percent. in saturday's election. the incumbent at ronnie wick reminiscing has congratulated his opponent on the victory the marks this little major has spent most of his career on the
