i've been expanded. you welcome the governing coordination in germany. it has collapsed and johnston all i've sold has called for the confidence vote in mid january. charles of this or from the democratic party, made the announcement off to dismissing his finance minister, christie, i believe not. who leads to business friendly, free democrats, they formed, bought the countries 3 potty coalition government with the greens, the confidence vote would likely trigger a new parliamentary elections by the end of march. here's how salts explained his decision that is happening. but as i ask permission from the federal president to dismiss the finance minister, i was forced into this decision in order to prevent damage to our country. so then we need a government capable of taking action that has the power to make the right decisions for our country. that's what i needed in the last 3 years. and that's what i need now. i made another extensive offer to the free democrats earlier today. so that we can close the holes in the budget and to avoid scrubbing our country into chaos,

did you look at one of this house actually some going on? it was a long distance call assistance. charles as decision follows, months of being fighting in the german government over the budget, and during a major slow down of germany's economy, finance minister needed not blamed john specials for the break up the um, fortunately, we made suggestions for an economic time around towards the country back on the path to success, folks cause so being, any god people cause he last bureaucracy that's taxation of democracy. programmatic energy and climate policies control more control of immigration. so relaxed outcomes at the same time, strengthening the individual responsibility performance and encourage innovation. we don't use it for the suggestion, so i'm not even accepted as a basis for discussions by the social democrats and greens are. it's up to you. it's anyway advice on several that how back from the green party, the 3rd bob. now,

angel just go lucian, have this to say, this nice don't, didn't house. it was impossible to close the holes in the butcher's bottom. but there were many different options on the table and they're just cutting broken off containers. and the biggest would have included ways to provide you creating with more support to gave them the task would have been the best response at the beginning of the day, which donald trump was selected to hold it. and i won't. germany has a role to play in europe and the fighting ukraine is a fight for peace and freedom, and we want peace and freedom in europe. and germany has a role to play on the order. so what's behind the collapse of germany's governing coordination? as we heard the country struggling economy plays a big role. here is a closer look at how berlin reached its breaking point. the tensions between the parties in germany's government had been growing for some time with economic policy, causing the biggest clashes between the chancellor, olaf, schultz, economy minister, robert havoc and finance minister,

fist young lender. the next selection wasn't scheduled until september of next year . now it looks like it might happen in march and campaigning. we'll be getting a lot sooner. next, mid gigabytes, personal bad. i find that totally irritating and also super disappointing. i have the feeling that we're already in election campaign mode so, so people are no longer interested in finding real solutions within the group, but only in positioning themselves. but it's in the, i think, uh does this one. i think it's an unworthy spectacle. that's happening at the moment, one working against the other with no common ground that can be established. the disagreements at the center of the collapse revolver on how to revive jeremy slightly economy, which shrink last year and barely avoided recession this year. the country continues to struggle with high energy costs and fears, competition from china, particularly in the automotive market. both consumer and business confidence is low

. and what else? germany faces and nearly 10000000000 euro gap and next year's budget. how can i get out of this mess? that's the question. how back and lender have very different answers to callback believes targeted government spending will stimulate the economy. what lender wants spending costs as a soft and climate regulations? one thing everyone can agree on is that the divisions are damaging to all parties and that the collapse comes at a particularly bad time for germany, jerry and i, the future policies of us, trusting to elect donald trump. here are expected to pose a king's challenge to european trade and security. and now germany long regarded as europe leader and international issues is distracted by domestic affairs. all right, let's get them off on the ductless split. take a look at his bundle, june us identity june a good morning, john. my name's governing coalition has collapsed. no, but or not. schultz has called a confidence volt, only in january. why is that?

as well, this is because of germany's governing system. now unlike other systems where for example, the chancellor himself or the president can just dissolve parliament and call for new elections like that. the german procedure is having to go through parliament that the chancellor has to call for a vote of confidence. and if he loses that vote only, then the president can dissolve parliament and call for new elections after having consulted with the chancellor. and we've heard from the chancellor himself saying that he wants to take the time until the end of this year to carry out some measures that his government planned to bring to the table and to pass. he wants to get that work done and only then a call for this vote of confidence in january. and then once that vote is non good to elections likely until the end of march. but we're already seeing from some of the conservative opposition here in germany that they would like to actually see

this vote of confidence happen sooner and go to the pools as quickly as possible. so speaking, while this pulls dish doing is to be held next day in september, but is an early election now completely inevitable? or it isn't necessarily, there could be the possibility of a minority governments. that is, for example, were the chancellor's social democrats and the green. where are they to continue to govern without new elections without having a majority and having to then ask for majorities for specific votes in the parliament. but this is a pass that the chancellor doesn't seem to want to take. it also isn't really a strong condition here in germany of minority governments. there is another possibility and that is that a german is basic law allows for the parliament to put ahead a constructive vote of no confidence. that means that basically the part limits can take away its trust and it's confidence in the current,

the chancellor and the current governments. if the votes with an absolute majority of for a uh, a new chancellor. so they have to come forward with a new proposal. but this also does not really seem to be the road that the parties and parliament's want to take. it looks like everyone really wants to go to the polls early. but there are already huge political differences between the 3 parties and this coalition from the get go. so why did it slip now as well, the parties had managed to find an agreement at the beginning of their term. they came up with a policy paper, a coalition contract, as it's called here, that was very much focused on the things that the parties have in common. for example, focusing on transformation on a vision for the future on digitalization. and the government was actually able to put forward some of the, of the measures that they had come up with in this contract. for example, they reformed citizenship law in germany. they increased minimum wage. they

legalize cannabis. but when the going got tough, especially after food, things invasion of ukraine and the following energy crisis in germany rising inflation and growing economics losing the countries, that's when it's specially the disagreements on economic policy. on 5th, a 2nd in the polls, but all other parties and the governments have made a commitments not to govern with the far right a fee because of its positions and because it is perceived as an anti democratic party. and that opens a huge kind of worms, depending on how much support to the other parties. for example, the chancellors a cd or the greens might get in in the polls and whether it will be able to build a coalition. now we've seen in the states, you mentioned where of the a f d. a came in strong in these recent votes, sometimes coming in 1st or 2nd that it has proven difficult to try to form a state government to their without the

a if the in play. and we might see this also happening again, depending on the results of the polls, if we do go to early elections. but in general, the timing of all of these isn't ideal is a junior on wednesday, germany's biggest grade bought of the us elected the new president. and that very morning sounds of the shows we're speaking here in berlin, about the profitability of the transatlantic relationship. and by the evening is government has collapsed. yes. and this, this content and dissatisfaction that in fighting within the governments had been brewing for months and it finally got to a point where it couldn't continue anymore. definitely the election of donald trump in the us poses a challenge for germany. he a, there's a risk that the, his government might stop supporting ukraine. and that would mean a much bigger burden for germany and other european countries to, to take on in that direction. that there is also questions of how much donald trump

is going to continue supporting nato and also supporting the defense of europe. in general. there is also a via economic situation, which is not looking very positive in germany at the moment with some of the german is big industries like the auto industry is put under stress. so definitely a challenging situation. but it had gotten to the point where the government parties weren't even able to agree on approving their own budgets, making it quite difficult to govern, especially in a convoluted and quite complicated international jew political situation. so it feels like of the government parties have now come to a point where they just decided to rip a band aid off and, and try to start a new do the, did you go to spend a juno suddenly, thanks very much for that. so let's take a quick look now at some other news making headlines around the world. lebanese officials say is rarely asked right. some targets in the central valley have gained
