the the this is data, but the news live from building a cold for com and a storm as the gym and government collapses. chancello that schultz fires a couple days in boston and calls for a confidence vote in parliament after christmas. the lead opposition party says there is no reason to white 5 tomorrow. they says jim and president's goals for cool head bolts that can i only engage in a peaceful transfer of power. the concession speech of us vice president campbell, a harris includes a dig at president elect trump, and congratulations for winning back to white house the

i'm anthony. how'd welcome to the program. the governing coalition in germany has collapsed in terms of the old, i felt as cold for a confidence vote in mid january. so it's of the social democratic party dismissed . he's finance minister christian linda who leads the business friendly, free democrats by phone to part of the countries. 3 potty coalition government with the green party. the confidence vibe will likely tree get new problem entry elections by the end of march. it's a political or quick that's been threatening for months. now, all of schultz has had enough of the fighting to us headphones too many times to finance minister letting the block laws give relevancy to off topic to many times to be added to surface gland data. and body 2 of the top of so many times that he break by trust with thought, germany's 3 way correlation government is over unable to compromise with the ideological differences. schultz will call

a vote of confidence in himself in january. so can you make it up as this will allow the members of the buddhist dog to decide whether they want to have the wave or the elections these of on these elections could then take this by the end of march at the latest that's for the subject. of the deadlines stipulated in the basic law. this is the mon schultz sacked chris gently from the free democrats accused shouts of recklessness in the face of economic crisis. so i'm good now is all carefully prepared statement from tonight proves that charlotte was no longer aiming for an agreement sustainable for everyone. see, but rather a calculated rake of this coalition. i'm consequently with this he is needing germany into a phase of uncertainty, outdoor funding on the falls, and that one is the chart. when a night of high drama, it was the 3rd wheel and this complicated relationship, the greens cosign did a regretful tool. and one of the collateral damage

but also we also wanted to say that there was no need for the night to end this week. don't, didn't house. it was not possible just for the budget code, even though there was a new sions on the table. i think often 2 different solutions were on the table and the biggest probably would have been to get for the supporting korean and that that wouldn't be the right answer at the beginning of the day in response to the election of donor trump. getting this tag yourself evolved from donald trump gives needless to say, the mood among the opposition center. right? christian democrats this morning. jovial the spot, the prospect to buy minority government, unacceptable. they want you elections as soon as possible is give us so absolutely no reason to wait until january of next year to hold the vote of confidence. the coalition no longer has the majority in the german bonus tag and sold the conservative parliamentary group anonymously demands. but the chance is that called a vote of confidence immediately starts by the beginning of next week,

or at the latest calling target to stay in a distance on funk. nice stuff. well, the aftershocks are not over more talk. so plan the we ahead on clear, but in the end it will be schultz is decision. and the gentleman president frank about his stein maya has addressed the public during what he is called a political crisis. in germany. he said he'd be ready to call for snap collections if need be, but he is asked on all parties to act with reason is is initiated side. so tactic one face is not the time for the top tech. this is both titles for funding, which is time for resent on and responsibility about if an i in funds will i expect all those responsible different items to do just sticks to the scale to see the challenges ahead. they also don't directly to the deputies, julia, denny has more about the gym and present instead as yeah, we've heard him speaking of challenging times and calls for responsibility. and

this was his main message as he spoke today. and the situation that he himself described is quite serious. but what he also did was try to reassure the german public that. c there is not too much to worry about. he said, yes, this is a government crisis, the government has collapse, but it is not the end of the world. and the german constitution provides the tools to overcome the situation of crisis. he also mentioned the great uncertainty that a people in germany might be feeling right now, both domestically with, with go collapse of the government, but also internationally did explicitly reference the re election of donald trump in the us. a situation that is likely to post challenges for germany with a trump possibly trump, and the republicans possibly cutting support for ukraine. and possibly also questioning the us supports for europe's defense. and these are all issues that the

german government is going to have to be able to handle. so the 2 leaders in this part of the german chancellor and the opposition leader will make the tools. now, what can we reasonably expect from the making? or on the one hand we have chancellor all of shows who basically the fact so now leads a minority government with just his social democrats and the greens. they do not have a majority in parliament. and what shows has said is that he hopes to continue saying and government, or he plans through at least until the end of this year to try to still bring forward a some measures. and some laws that he thinks is important to approve to do that. he would need the support of the conservative opposition, the cd you to be able to pass these laws with a majority. and so he's likely going to try to convince the leader of the opposition for the match to be able to be in dialogue and to try to find an agreement to support these measures in parliament's now on the other hand. so leave,

it man's has said that he doesn't really want to keep supporting or actually the started supporting of this and government for of the medium term. he actually wants chancellor shots to call for a vote of confidence as soon as possible next week at the latest and to go to new elections as soon as possible. so it looks quite difficult of that. these 2 politicians are actually going to come to an agreement, right? the opposition to calling for this confident, but next week, as you say, schultz wants to white aside from shafting their demands. is there anything else that the opposition can do to force him to get what they want? is there a way that i can apply more pressure at this point? well, not really because the german constitution says that a for the parliament to be dissolved and for there to be snapped elections. it has to come from the chancellor himself. the chancellor has to call himself for a vote of confidence and only after the parliament has voted against the government

and is taking away its confidence. only then can the german president actually dissolve the parliaments and call for new elections. so the opposition really doesn't have a lot to say or a lot to do in this situation. what it can do is keep trying to apply political pressure to possibly convince the chancellor that it might be a good idea to hold elections earlier. and this is likely what we're already seeing, the opposition doing what they're likely going to try to continue to do the w political correspondent, jalisa ability. thank you. so as to what's behind the collapse of germany's governing coalition, we've heard the countries struggling economy plays a big role and there's also widespread uncertainty among the gym and people. you're fired. german chancellor, all of schultz had let go of finance minister chris generally. and after months of

bitter wrangling over economic policy, voters were unsure of what to make of the news. news coach them cuz it's not good. we have no leadership in politics. wanted to talk to you and we don't know what will happen to the country or what will happen next. i think the solution will be with a new election society, whether it's better and if will then have a solution with the right wait until somebody to lose and that there's no, there's nothing he's the worries you have as a citizen. so you might as well, if i scroll down, because i missed us hops, it wasn't the signal that was needed depending on how you interpret to. if it's on one side, we'll say that we needed this signal a fresh start. others will say we should have just pulled our selves together. it's not much on suffice. and of, of the crisis comes at a bad time with the economy expected to be in recession for a 2nd year in a row. and the looming threat of car tear of from america's newly elected president, we want to have security. we want to this kind of insecurity, which is a general feeling, a psychological feeling that might also impact germany in the direct so that

investments will be reduced in germany. until things become somehow clear out what the certainty also to be expected is that for jumping from swift start again could use more into your asked us to circumvent. so to say terrace, produced there and create jobs there, which also means that certainly jobs are also on the flight to germany. such like the final straw came as schultz demanded the suspension of the constitutional debt, brady, which limits government spending, saying the money is needed for an investment lender with strictly against deficit, spending a decision which cost him his job. schultz, top deputy finance minister and fellow social democrat, your cookies to replace letting or heal inherit a litany of economic was from high energy costs struggling automotive industry to crumbling infrastructure. schultz says he will seek a vote of confidence in january if he can delay the final blow to his government

until then early elections would follow in march. all the german government crisis is also a talking point in budapest way. leaders of the you are paying political community, making. the group also includes known a use types such as britain, the new crime, as well as nighttime. how did the european latest then react to the collapse of germany's willing television? all the deputies, brussels bureau chief, alexandra phone number, and as the lightest from the summit spell. european leaders that has come together here at the push coast arena, which is a new stadium in budapest, lead to us that we've been talking with, told us that they had little concern about the situation over the situation in germany. they were stressing that this, this way, this is the beauty of the democratic system and that they trust to have trust in democratic institutions in germany of the records. however,

some of them indicated that they seed even as a chance for germany and for europe, a to move forward, often months of internal bickering and arguments within the german government. but let's have a look and listen to what stood leaders have to say in front of our camera. schultz is a strong leader. i know very well, so i think he will navigate during the coming months, making sure that germany places roll at the real estate. you one thing special you or if is not strong without a strong gemini, and that is one thing that we will look forward to continue to see in the next few months. it isn't very important for us, for the european union. it is important to stay the course that we've engaged on since many years now. and it's a successful course standing together, overcoming other challenges and most importantly, taking our responsibility now alone has germany. of course, isn't it?

is it is economic engine of the european uh, of european club. um, but i would not dramatize this as part of democracy and democracy. you have government and you have elections and you have new governments. that does not mean that it stops in europe in economy or that it stops to influence that germany has. so you're paying late just reacting that to the situation in gemini, this cross is coming on the signed i, alexandra, that donald trump one the us presidential bryce. i wanted a how is that new reality landed among european latest, the 2nd coming of donald trump? while the riots that the news broke on the day were when all eyes were on the american, its choice for the next president. but my impression here is up to talking to our sources here on the ground. that the timing of the announcement in germany is not being discussed here. to a big extent. leaders are saying, well,

we wait for all of the shows when he is going to join them this evening for our leaders dinner. but of course, we have to understand that germany is as the largest economy in new york in union, very important member of the blog. and the political uncertainty in germany is not good for the european union. because at the same time, we also see a weak french president, me and my number my call of to a prince of parliamentary election in france, that that's to a dead lock in the parliament. so all of that is, of course, not very good for the european union and the challenges that they are facing, of course, right? one of them thing does the trump effect in europe, particularly, and you find that one of the many questions of perhaps the most put and those does europe have a plan if trump abruptly cuts off weapons and financial support the of the

well, that is something that i would say there are discussing tonight's and also tomorrow a they were joined by the you create in president today. and he wants to again, urge them to continue supporting q crane and to call in europe to be strong, and to continue providing weapons and all that that ukraine needs to win the war. but the experts we've been speaking to with the are telling us to, to europe alone cannot replace what said you asked is doing in terms of supporting q crane. so this is really a big challenge. should donald trump decide to reduce america, support for ukraine, and at that moment it doesn't seem that you are really has a plan of what's to do that, but that's something there are there are discussing probably tonight as well. right? with so many heavy hit as they are in one place, what else do they hear a pain latest want to achieve what and discuss at the summer?

well, they will of course, talk about to the tron supplanted ties. and what's the, the you asked, selection when of don't know to, i'm means a for the you with the union. they will talk about migration, all of that difficult topics that are here on the agenda. the deputies alexander fun. nominate the 1st guess stadium in budapest, thank you so much. i to, to the united states. now we have vice president campbell harris has conceded the presidential election in the cold. the president elect. donald trump. trump state state. remarkable. come back when to take the white house for a 2nd time. after surging to victory in a string of swing states, however, spoke to her support as light on wednesday for the 1st time since her defeat, my heart is full today. my heart is full today. full of gratitude for the trust you have placed inmate full of love for our country

and full of resolve. the outcome of this election is not what we wanted. not what we fought for. not what we voted for. but hear me when i say hear me when i say the lights of america's promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up. and as long as we keep fighting, the new folks are feeling in experiencing a range of emotions. right now. i get it, but we must accept the results of this election. earlier today,

i spoke with president electronics and congratulated him on his victory. i also told him that we will help him and his team with their transition, and that we will engage in a peaceful transfer of power. it's not donald trump will return to the us presidency at a time of widespread conflict and uncertainty in the world from ukraine to the middle east and the asia pacific. he has vowed to fix it all. so then let's look at what's at stake. donald trump has declared heal in the conflicts raging around the world. his decisions will reset battlefields and borders. they said he will start a war. i'm not going to start a, want me to stop wars on you. cranes, front lines, soldiers dependent on american weapons cube has received the 10s of billions of dollars in usaid and weaponry. but trump says he thinks washington is paying too

much. one of the things that are very bothersome to me is the fact that europe is paying only a small fraction of the money that the united states of america is bang. ukrainian president followed him, use a lensky sort candidate, trump support for his victory plan, but was told to expect a negotiated solution. so we have a very good relationship. and i also have a very good relationship as you know, with president. and i think we went to get it resolved right quickly. vice presidential like j events, wants to cost a to kias on to his proposed peace deal. ukraine would give up territory to most go and to band and is nato emissions. but we're going to take care of israel and they know that in the middle east, the trumpet signaled strong, ongoing support, phase riley prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his war against him, us in gaza. in a campaign debate,

trump said the us should let him finish the job. it is lost to him. he please nothing yahoo by moving the us embassy to jerusalem and recognizing its annexation of the disputed golden heights now is legal is rarely settled, is in the west bank hoping for a similar suppose. israel is also expected to seek trumps backing forward increased pressure on either on i mean, the fact is i've done more for israel by far than any of the president. not even close been tie one fears, a brewing of a transfer fuse or to commit to defend the island against a possible chinese invasion. in an interview, he said taiwan should pay us for defense. tie one doesn't give us anything. but we're trying to stepping up its military exercises around, ty, one trump, is pointed to economic rather than military tactics. telling china if you going to tie one, i'm going to text you. trump has already singled a trade war with china,

threatening to impose terrace of 60 percent on all its goods. he says chinese president, seizing pink, won't do anything provocative, because he thinks trump is crazy. but even washington, his allies are now wondering how trump will react in a world of un resolve conflicts or gillian. know that cala is an associate fellow to the transatlantic relations at the german council on foreign relations. really good to say a late as are in discussions about how the handle diplomacy on the, the incoming trump presidency is a lot of things. a diplomat is perhaps, nope, perhaps not one of them. do you think that will find common ground in terms of dealing with trump to point out a hi, it's a very good question. i think, you know, over the last 4 years they had some time to prepare for this. not sure how much it actually was done in terms of building a european capabilities. but i think that,

you know, trump is far more of a symptom than use a cost, and the isolation is tendencies in u. s. foreign policy, and particularly trade policy will affect um, europe, undoubtedly in, in significant ways. so, so now it's about relationship building to the new administration and getting some inroads and making your case and sort of hope for the hope for the best buy, preparing for the worst a while we're on the point of preparing for the, with the board, new crime below must certainly be on the agenda, which trump is about to end within 24 hours. julian, the also signs the criminal in his cane to in the war on it's tens, of course. does donald trump actually stand a chance of feeling he's promised to in the will? a r e certainly will make a run at it. i think um, you know, a lot of comment. taters always say that. um, it's very likely that he does it on russia's term. i, i'm not so sure to be i'm not so sure about that. to be completely honest. i think

that just from a reputation of perspective, he can't afford to be seen as making sort of a poor inspect in that sense. i think what will happen is that he's going to pressure the sealants be on the one hand saying that he could, you know, and 8 for a military 8 or sharing of intelligence for ukraine. but on the other hand, you could pressure put in by saying, if you don't take the deal that i'm proposing, i'm going to break loose and ukraine. so i think he's gonna ask for concessions on both sides, which i'll of course, will come with a, with a big cost for ukraine and most likely in the forms of, of the territory so that they currently, um, that are currently occupied by russian forces. and if he does indeed ask for those concessions, what would that do to europe from a political and security perspective? i think your buy has obviously been largely invested in, in the war. um, you know,

there was talk about maybe potentially picking up the tap that the us might leave. and if it comes to a trump administration, but you know, the intelligent sharing that the trump administration does, particularly on the front line, is so essential that it is basically impossible them to pick up by the europeans, even by british intelligence. so they don't really have a choice, i guess if the us decides to, to make a deal. and i think the horror scenario also with regards to china is it's no us forces you're up to get along in terms of the coupling. and then makes a bilateral deal with both russia and china and europe is, is being left standing at the sidelines or the other big bull riding is in the middle east. do you think that the board and the administration support of these rouse war and gaza is safe to ivy and democrat voters? most certainly however, you know, trump's a victory

a on on tuesday was, was so decisive that there got to be more factors than just the war. and this real, but yeah, you can see the effect in multiple counties in michigan in particular were you know, the bite and into a new, tiny head of decisive lead over donald trump, particularly in the arab population. all of that of those kind of decent inherited support. uh, got smashed, but that sure wasn't the only uh, contributing factor to her loss on tuesday. and one more before we go, how do you expect the new us president to handle the war in the middle east? when he gets the boy, you know, the war has as advanced. so significantly already that it's hard to imagine that there is going to be even further giving a blanco check to the israel is um, i think that the priority remains that they are not the complete escalation and the war between israel and iran. i think that it continues to be the sense of the us

government, but you know, to said with trump boys, the job basically is already done. so i think he benefits from the fact that we are at sort of the near end of also of the fighting and israel and, and the region the and the, the color from the german council on foreign relations. thank you. good to be with you as a reminder about top stories before we go, 7 days governing coalition has collapsed off to transfer the shelves. 5 is the finance minister. so it's, it's called the confidence vote in parliament in mid january and early elections could be held by the end of march, my not physician to say to you and see if you want to vote next week. at the lights, vice president come of the house as address support is for the 1st time since listening to donald trump and choose the selections. harris promised to smooth transition to the new administration and the peaceful hand of that's all the news, the now focused on europe is up next to putting
