5:04 pm
and many people here in the united states say that it has to be and also to a certain extent, a jo bite and sold as he announced so late in the race that he will not run again. so this is definitely something people will be watching for, but i'm pretty sure he's not going to address that factor. he will of course, price uh, kinda le harris. and i think in the core of it, in this very probably presidential speeds a, there will be a democracy. he will say that he's kind of totally committed to a peaceful transition of power. very different from donald trump, of course, and better use, reaching out to the american people, asking them to come together after this very sometimes toxic last couple of months . now tell us what can we expect when will don't a, donald trump begin the process of choosing a cabinets and, and selecting all the high ranking officials. in the next couple of
5:05 pm
days, he's already talking to people. of course, the already kind of names which is important for an international audience is of course the position of the secretary of state. there is richard cornell, a being named very often. he is the former ambassador to germany. some might be familiar with and other big names. what is pretty sure is that ellen musk will play a major role. and that is interesting. okay, how does he of course is the richest man on earth and he will play play a major role in this government. he will have a lot of influence and there is no, no democratic legitimacy of this power. so this is kind of a new era that an all adult and multi billionaire will have such a huge impact on the government and everybody knows about it. it will be washington bureau chief enos, full of thank you, we're going to come back to you. of course,
5:06 pm
officer joe biden has addressed the nation if that happens within a program. but now it's in germany where the government governing coalition has collapsed and shots the order of shots as cold for a vote of confidence in mid january shots of the social democratic policy dismissed as finance minister, kristen lynn. not who needs the business. friendly freed democrats stay full part of the country's 3 policy coalition government together with a green party. the confidence vote will likely trigger a new problem entry election 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. so of type one, this minister to many times the finance minister letting the block laws because they live in key to off topic. so many times to be added to surface gland data and body 2 of the type of so many times that he break by trust with thought,
5:07 pm
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 be able to wait for 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 so 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 collision. i'm kind of with the, with this he is needing germany into a phase of uncertainty toward funding on the falls. and that one is the chart when the knights of high drama, it was the 3rd wheel and this complicated relationship,
5:08 pm
the greens, who sounded a regretful tone and one of the collateral damage going on. so 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 hold, even though there was a nuisance on the table, is often 2 different solutions were on the table. and the biggest probably would have been to get before the supporting crane and that wouldn't be the right answer at the beginning of the day in response to the election of donors from getting this tigris off device. i'm going to try to give you needless to say, the mood among the opposition center, right? christian democrats, this morning. jovial. but the prospect to buy minority government, unacceptable. they want you elections as soon as possible. this gives you outcome is absolutely no reason. so i wait until january of next year it's doubled the vote of confidence. the coalition no longer has a majority in the german 3 to start on the via and so the c d u a csc on harlem
5:09 pm
injury group on it on an excuse me. unanimously. demand sucks far as the chancellor call for a vote of confidence. if at home, you don't need to stay in status and by the beginning of next week at the latest the aftershocks are not over more talks a plan that we ahead on clear. but in the end, it will be schultz as decision about john solo shows, has indeed held a closed door meeting, the opposition leader for those mouse this afternoon. the 2 politicians disagree about the timing of likely snap elections. mathis, the leader of germany center, right? christian democrats, he's rejected, shows this plan and has called for an immediate no confidence votes. involvement and new election strolled stressed again on the 1st day that he does not want to go for a vote of confidence before mid january next year. us earlier the w is head of news marks huffman and told me more about the meeting and how it went.
5:10 pm
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 a path forward. and it seems it was the latter no path forward. just because of the reasons that you just mentioned in that 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, uh get hot there, but it seems very important to or that shows to not have it earlier, but to maintain the dates you mentioned yesterday. and that is the 15th of january . so, and then i tell no results from that meeting. now, as you said, schultz is adamant that he wants to wait. why does he want to waste? it's there 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
5:11 pm
good. and in order to turn that around, it's 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, the woods 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 a vote of confidence earlier. if you help us pass those laws and religion apps, the opposition leader has said he was willing to talk about that. but only when it left shorts would concede to have that mode of confidence earlier. now this is a pretty serious political crisis in germany. and it also comes with a very difficult and tense time, politically, from it's being re elected in the usa,
5:12 pm
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 coal is and 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, every leader who's in his last phase is a lame duck. to a certain extent, nobody knows that better than other leaders. so the people that are sorts has to deal with when he goes abroad and the you for example, or also at the climate conference in by cool. and you know what? she just 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 still
5:13 pm
a bit. 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, 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 of the political spectrum. under one umbrella, what just happened here because of the current coalition or the coalition until yesterday at least had free 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. 30 to 33 percent. and also the d. s. p. d. so the party that has the current sets are shots,
5:14 pm
would 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 sd, and they're gaining ground altogether. they may make up a quarter of the vote. so that complicates myself on the use head of nit news reporting. thank you much. now let's get some more analysis on that story. with money i took, she said, and associates senior electra and political science with the focus on coalition. governments enjoys been off from golf and berg in sweden. first of all, maybe might need to interrupt our interview when joe biden stopped it to speak. i hope you can understand that, but 1st,
5:15 pm
let's discuss the prices of government here in germany. what do you think has led to this crisis? who do you see is mainly responsible a well, i mean it's a, such a crisis is conflict escalate. jason, that's the only one, probably responsible usually. so i think this all started when are the, uh, was the washer invasion of ukraine actually when the coalition of a pond, they were really focusing, focusing on cultural issues on modernizing society. so all these points parties are very similar, like there was a new little modem that jordans ation law and you will live will names are often marriage and so on. however, the parties are very fundamental understandings when it comes to fiscal policies, financial policies, economic policies, and with their crisis in europe and skyrocketing um, oil prices and inflation. these differences kimberly design and they have been cost
