reliance on the us. and the global security is on the agenda. as donald trump prepares for a 2nd term of the white house, the president elect has filed to end the was ukraine. of the middle east, just how he plans to do that remains on clear the . i'm good. how about if is welcome to the program. the governing coalition in germany has collapsed and johnson, the olaf shoals, as cold for a vote of confidence. in mid january shots of the social democratic party dismissed as finance minister, 50 and lit who leads to the business. frankly, free democrats. they form part of the countries, 3 policy coalition government, together with the green party. the confidence vote will likely trigger a new parliamentary elections by the end of march. this is
4:02 pm
a political or quick that's been threatening for months. now, all of schultz has had enough of the fighting to of the type of this minister to many times the finance minister leading a block clause developing fee to off topic so many times to be added to surface line data and body 2 of the top. so many times, if you 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 convicted of this, 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. but then they could be asked 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 christian letter from the free democrats accused shots of recklessness in the face of economic crisis. so i'm good now is all carefully prepared statement from tonight proves that charlotte
4:03 pm
was no longer aiming for an agreement sustainable for everyone see, but rather a calculated rake of this collision. i'm kind of quickly up with this. he is needing germany into a phase of uncertainty, outdoor funding on the falls, and that was 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 given those documents. 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. so the budget code, even though that was a nuisance on the table, is often 2 different solutions. what on the table and the biggest, probably would have been to give for the supporting of granting. cuz that wouldn't be the right answer at the beginning of the day in response to the election of donor trauma. getting this tag yourself, divide from the trunk, give you. needless to say, the mood among the opposition center, right?
4:04 pm
christian democrats this morning jovial the spot, the prospect to buy minority government, unacceptable. they want you elections as soon as possible. escape will help kind is absolutely no reason. so i wait until january of next year. it's the whole the vote of confidence. the coalition no longer has the majority in the german 3 to start on the via and so the cd. you a csc on harlem injury group on it on an excuse me, unanimously. demand sucks for august. the chancellor call for a vote of confidence. if i told you don't need to stay in baptist and by the beginning of next week at the latest, the aftershocks are not over more talk. so plan the we ahead on clear, but in the end it will be schultz is decision of time and sort of charles has indeed held a close to a meeting with the opposition lead a frivolous match. the 2 politicians disagree about the timing of likely snap elections masses. the leader of germany's sense arrived. christian democratic sees
4:05 pm
rejected sholtes plan and has called for an immediate no confidence both in parliament and new elections. shows stressed again on the statement that he does not want to call for a vote of confidence before mid january next year. from now this spring and myself monday, the head of news marks. it's also shows met with a position lead of fruitless match for adults in berlin. how did it go? well, we know that it was short 25 minutes. so that gives you usually 2 possibilities. either they were on the same page right away and not much to discuss or they couldn't find the path forward. and it seems it was the latter. no path forward just for it because of the reasons that you just mentioned in the report because of the date of the vote of confidence. very important to the opposition leaders here to have it as soon as possible. he said next week hold it next week or maybe even earlier, as you said earlier, gail hot, the but it seems very important to all of chose to not have it earlier,
4:06 pm
but to maintain the data you mentioned yesterday. and that is the 15th of january. so, and then i tell no result from that meeting. now as you said, schoultz is adamant that he wants to wait. why does he want to waste this? there are a couple of possibilities. first of all, it's not looking good for this party, the cd, the social democrats in the polls. they're hovering around 1516 percent. that's not good. and in order to turn that around, if the possibility exists, he would need some time. and that's maybe what he's trying to buy. and the 2nd possibility is there's a number of laws that they still want to pass. what's left of this coalition important to them, for example, the reform of the pension system or of the asylum system in germany to name just to it's always, of course, they would need the christian democrats to do that. so there is something to negotiate. there may be some kind of solution saying, okay, we'll have
4:07 pm
a vote of confidence earlier if you help us pass those laws and that's the legion, that's the opposition leader has said he was willing to talk about that. but only when it's left shots with a can see the to have that vote of confidence earlier. now this is a pretty serious political crisis in germany. and it also comes with a very difficult, intense time. politically, trump being re elected in the usa, some readjustment needed the war and ukraine, the war in gaza to just name a few is the german government right now fits the purpose. that's what remains of the coalition is certainly trying to give that impression that they are fit for purpose fit for duty level. but how big the vice chancellor from the greens said, especially for a set. so today in a press conference, when it comes to international business, they were going to continue to do their job. but you know how it is. you know,
4:08 pm
every leader who's in his last phase is a lame duck to a certain extent, and nobody knows that better than other leaders. so the people that all sorts has to deal with when he goes abroad in the you for example, or also at the climate conference in by cool. and you know what? he does cancel this flight there. so that gives you an impression. yes, they can handle certain things, but as soon as money is involved or the approval of parliament, that's the limit. now, what's your take here is thomas, the election, whether it's happening in december or, or later in the next year. we still political stability. if we're looking at the polls right now, to just to go very basic here in germany, it's about cold listens. now that's how this works. that's how you get the majority . in the bonus tax on the german parliament and the fewer partners you have, normally the more stable a government is because you don't have to try to get all kinds of different sides
4:09 pm
of the political spectrum under one umbrella. what just happened here because of the current coalition or the coalition until yesterday at least had 3 parties. so would it be possible to again, have sort of the classic coalition of 2 parties. if you look at the polls right now, it seems possible because the christian democrats are very strong in the polls. 3233 percent and also the, the cd. so the party that has the current assets or shows we'd probably have enough boats to make up and have sort of what we used to call the grand coalition, which is not necessarily a grand coalition anymore because the s b d lost so much. but this seems a possibility, and this has been a very, or a pretty stable government in the past, but it's getting harder because as you said, you have more parties that are deemed and democratic by other parties. for example, the far right a, a, c. and they're gaining ground altogether, they may make up a quarter of the vote. so that complicates myself on their use. head of nit news
4:10 pm
reporting. thank you much faltering economy and how to deal with this. and that has been at the heart of the tensions between germany as coalition partners. now, political turmoil has only added to the countries economic was leaving, and german voters feeling tense. and onset. if you're fired, german chances are all off. schultz has let go of finance minister cuz his general it 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 thought the solution will be with new elections has i, whether it will be better and if will then have a solution with the right we can customize to losing that. now they that they use the worries you have as a citizen, so you might as well as program as soon as i say this, this helps. it wasn't the signal that was needed depending on how you interpret to
4:11 pm
. 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 as i'm so vice and of the crisis comes at a bad time with the economy, expect it to be in recession for a 2nd year in a row, the and the looming threat of car terrace 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 than the rest us to circumvent. so let's say terrace produced there and, 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,
4:12 pm
saying the money is needed for investment. lender was 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. now the government crisis in germany is also talking point of view the past where leaders of european political community on meeting the group also includes known to use states such as britain. that is ukraine as well as night. so i need to use uh brussels bureau chief of this on a phenomena is in the hunger in capital covering that summit. i found out what has been the reaction to the collapse of germany's routing coalition,
4:13 pm
that of europe and liter, as that has come together here at the push coast stadium in budapest, they show a little concerned about the situation in germany. stressing that it's a democratic process and that they have trust in the institutions in germany with some of the shows even saying also that the records that they think it's maybe not such a better idea for germany to hold elections a sooner then anticipated often months of bickering along the coalition partners in germany with them being sometimes not able to find a common position, unimportant to european topics. but let's have a listen to watch. the leaders had to say in front of our camera. all of 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. one thing special europe
4:14 pm
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. if this is 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 to now own hands. germany of course, is an is, is, 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 influence that germany has a sound or this crisis came on the same day that donald trump on the us presidential elections. how has that means landed on the european leaders as
4:15 pm
well? i have to say, god that's i was struck by the fact that many leaders, most leaders, i would have to say are focusing here on a positive message, a positive signal. they apparently wants to send it to washington and they stress the they joint interest with the us, the emphasizing that is good for both the you and you as to work together. and also saying that in the past they were able to corporate woods. donalds trump, during his term and office and, and this is quite striking cause of course, every here everyone here understands that to europe may be facing a potential trade war. and then we can think of the nato alliance of both of which donalds, trump has stresses. so they're all big, it challenges had and of course everyone here,
4:16 pm
so i understand that you approve needs to do more for it's depends with the french president emanuel mccomb calling on on you opinions. and you are p and leaders not to outsource europe's security any longer to america. however, we also have to say that's something that they have been discussing for many years . and it doesn't seem that europe has been able to make a lot of progress on that. now you current president, um, is it lensky is also that in and you to pass a trump password to, to a cutoff support or reduced support for ukraine? a, do the europeans have a plan? is that how as well, i would say say that at the moment it doesn't seem that they really have a plan. we have to understand that the us is a big donor of military aids to ukraine. we talking here about more than
4:17 pm
a 2000000000 years since the start of the war and europe as a whole. they donated tons with 1x8bb of us. so you see how important america is and its support for ukraine into european leaders. i think understand that you could not replace woodside america as providing to ukraine, so that is something that they are talking about right now. the heard from the ukraine and presidents who urge to the you are peons to continue supporting q crane, who also benefits frustration over being apparently pressed into talks would put in a saying that, you know, there is no chance that you queen would be willing to make any concessions and criticizing some leaders of for expecting exactly that. and i think what he had to say today gives you a bit of
4:18 pm
a better understanding what is probably going on here behind close doors. oh, that's all phenomena reporting from budapest. thank you. and now donald trump will return to the us presidency at a time of widespread conflicts and uncertainty in the world from ukraine to the middle east of the asia pacific is about to fix it all. let's look at what's on his plate. then donald trump has declared, he'll end 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, the cranes front lines. the soldiers depend on american weapons. kia 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
4:19 pm
a small fraction of the money that the united states of america is. bank. ukrainian president, florida me, is 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 or vice presidential like j. d vance once to cost a to kias on to his proposed piece deal, ukraine would give up territory to most go and a band, and is nato ambitions. what we're going to take care of israel and they know that in the middle east, the trump is signal strong, ongoing support for these 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 and is lost to him. he please nothing yahoo! by moving the us embassy to jerusalem,
4:20 pm
and recognizing its antics ation of the disputing, golden heights now is legal, is riley settlers in the west bank hoping for a similar support. israel is also expected to seek trump's backing forward, increased pressure on iran. i mean, the fact is, i've done more for israel by far than any of the presidents, not even 12 been tie one fears, a brewing of a trump's refusal to commit to defend the island against the 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. the trump has already singled a trade war with china, threatening to impose tyrus of 60 percent on all its goods. he says chinese
4:21 pm
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 und resolved conflicts with me in the studio now is the w is a man, is safe. he's been following the selections for us, and he's also reported from israel, from lebanon. and from you, chris, are you a really, in tune with all these stories? now? how did from sell themselves to vote as, as the piece candidate? he said over and over, and judy vance also echoed this that no foreign wars started under his watches as president from 2016 to 20. 20. it's unclear if he's talking well, he's talking about both of the us starting wars and wars that started under his watch. what he's really tapping into here is this unpopular, this deep unpopularity in the us for, for, and conflicts. the probably started with the unpopular war. any rack in 2000,
4:22 pm
but starting 2003, it didn't become on popular until quite a bit later. but looking back on it, a lot of americans regret that decision. moved on into the obama years when the war in serious started under his watch. he didn't start that were, but that was a very bloody war, but there was also conflicts the drawers that uh obama did pursue in afghanistan and pakistan. you also had the assassination or the killing of a us investor in libya during the civil war there. and then under bite, and you had 2 major conflicts break out and a him, the russian invasion of ukraine and the october 7th terror attack by him off that triggered a larger war in gauze that's killed 40000 palestinians. so trump is tapping into this, this kind of idea that the us is responsible and some parts for those was abroad and that he will stop them and that he never started any himself. and now it was us to listen briefly and to ben hall,
4:23 pm
g c. was of the commanding general of the us army in europe is now retired. he's been a strong advocate of support of ukraine and he told d w that he's worried about what another trump presidency could bring. let's have a quick lesson. if you crank fails, it will be because the united states in germany turn their back on ukraine. and then you're going to see millions of ukrainian or activities coming to germany. you're going to see continued disruption of food and an energy supplies. and you're gonna see tens of thousands of ukrainian soldiers absorbed into the russian army so that, so there's no positive outcome to any kind of negotiated settlement or to the united states. turning this back. so. ready this is going to be a real test for, for your a been hodges that and that he pays it a pretty bleak picture. that was part of your thoughts. he's talking about a worst case scenario. so hodges, of like
4:24 pm
a lot of european and american supporters of ukraine, believe that anything short of victory for ukraine would in the long term mean that ukraine would lose its country to russian regression. that is the most pessimistic take. but you can start to see, even in europe, people like you installed and burg. very recently said he would be open to the i t idea of a negotiated settlement between ukraine and russia, at least temporarily to open up the possibility of securing western ukraine for nato membership or for some other security guarantees. you can also see in the ukraine a lot of ukrainians are moving toward the idea that the working on the n with a negotiated settlement. a recent polls showed that somewhere between 30 and 44 percent of ukrainians believe that's how the war's going to end. the majority still believe that they need to fight to ring all of their territory. so that idea that a, a peace deal is the way out of this war, is becoming more popular, especially for exhausted soldiers to want maybe even just a break in the fight. so they can see their families again,
4:25 pm
but the idea that trump is going to come in and get a good deal for you create a lot of people don't believe that because he hasn't been clear on the details. he said he could end it in 24 hours. such a complicated global situation. and what hodges of the saying is that he's worried, the trump will pull the rug out of your crane and try to get a deal without getting any security guarantees for your credit. so we'll have to see whether the will is there to negotiate. i don't know if a lot of people believe that trump is the person to do. i mean, honestly, is that thank you very much for sharing your insights with us. that's have a quick look now at some of the other news making headlines around the world. a muslim beaks capital. i'm a pull to the police, 5 to ga cents. weapons to dispose of protests over last month's disputed election. the october vote extended, the routing party for lima was 50 years in palm fountains of say it was rigs, according to human rights groups of these 18 people have been killed in practice
