tony alice services be our guest at frankfurt and bought cd, managed by from bought the dw, there's live from berlin, a political storm in germany. as the governing coalition collapses, german transfer our luck. schultz has fired his finance minister and is promising the confidence for the parliament after christmas. but the main opposition party is demanding elections asap. p saying there's no reason to wait. also coming up, i've said many times. you can't love your country. only when you, when you, as president joe bogging promising a peaceful transfer of power in his 1st address since the us presidential election and the trump victory, he is urging the nation to come together. after a polarizing campaign, the

library golf, our view is watching on cbs in the united states into all of you around the world. welcome german opposition parties are calling for an immediate vote of no confidence in parliament following this week's collapse of the 3 party governing coalition. and no confidence vote would trigger snap elections here. and german transfer all of sholtes of the social democrats and so far resisted the pressure seeking to cling onto a minority government until a vote can take place in mid january. but germany's opposition party say that is not soon enough. 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 minister to many times the finance minister letting them block laws because they live in key to off campus. so many times to be added to self explained data and body 2 of type 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 couldn't even do that as this will allow the members of the bonus tag to decide whether they want to have the wave or the elections. these of on these elections content, they can 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 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 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 one is the chart. when the knights of high drama, it was the 3rd wheel and this complicated relationship, the greens, who sounded a regretful tone and one of the collateral damage going outside. and we also wanted to say that there was no need for the night to end this week. and want to in house, it was not possible to disclose the budget code, even though there was a nuisance 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 of granting. cuz that wouldn't be the right answer at the beginning of the day in response to the election of donor trump. the getting this tiger soft evolved from donald trump gives 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. escape you will help kind is absolutely no reason for wait until january of next year and to hold a 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 entry googled on an excuse me, unanimously. demand sucks for august. the chancellor call for a vote of confidence for the 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 or more now and join by ralph and stake there. he's a member of the german parliament for the social democrats. that is the party of chancellor. all of children assisting you. it's good to have you with this to night . let me ask you why wait until next january to have a confidence vote in parliament. you know, as the saying goes, the longer one weights, the bigger the total, it takes our good evening. the situation is different. we are ready for crunch effort in getting an agreement for the cause of some problems

until yesterday in the evening when the finance minister decided to walk away from the responsibility. but the chance that has the responsibility and we're on the situation, we're after the american reactions, president elect is not yet here for the importance of international tasks to be solved. for instance, the next more winton new game will come, and it's not, doesn't make any sense that the biggest economic call in europe would be in the election campaign times as well as the americans having had the change of coming and yet went on talking about postponing the present really easy to vote. we do that pretty soon. but i think it's reasonable to make this question of confidence in the generated session and then have elections and launch . that's pretty so you know, and by the way,

it's the decision of the town. so anyway, yeah, that's our constitute, who is it? yeah, i mean is, is his decision. and then of course it's up to lawmakers and parliament. i'm to decide whether or not they have confidence in him. would you agree that the chancellor has little chance of surviving the vote of confidence of the for the point is a different that means the conservatives just a couple of days ago, they suggested that they would work together with the minority governments. an important questions for the country and, and no, i think we should take that by that word and the conservative position and could also use the responsibility and work together with the government. then we come to that extra credit. so having election snots in october as it was ranked at that time, but having them in early march, i think there's lots to relate. besides, as i said, the important things to me put on the track, mr. state, why would the opposition report is? why would they want to cooperate with a minority government?

it's in their interest for early elections to take place as soon as possible. but only if you'll see it as a very partisan only as a product. i'm fine, but there are things like responsibility for the country and around in the economic crisis. we have to one ukraine, one east, and there are important things to be done. and we only have this situation because that's a number of administer. finance walked away from insurance responsibility and i think it's not about party politics now, but it's about responsibility for the country in difficult times and therefore a chance to explain things on tv yesterday. and this feature we've got a lot of positive response. people understand why it's important to, to, to keep getting some, some things done and then quickly come to elections. we will have them. yeah, but i think uh, opposition should take responsibility as well. if you, if we do come to early elections in, in march, the chancellor will campaign on

a platform of, of not being able to hold a coalition government together for an entire term that doesn't sound like a winning recipe for, for re election. i don't think so actually where we were just to contain an agenda that tries in very difficult times with the war in europe, one east in engine crisis and other things trying to keep the country together not having in the month to ride in the country as we have seen that in the american campaign how thing, for instance 0 crane. so training and people, and at the same time keeping our society together. now that the cops in this project and the writing projects, when, because we have a divided society and it also it's the election campaign or more responsibility and see as you can see in some of the states and sex and the, for instance, the christian democratic meat of them has, has, has had talks for the writing extremist and then you can see whether

a positive responsibility is the conservative party. i'm not, i'm not worried that the people who wouldn't see that it's a chance that does a good job, mr. said, let me just ask before we run out of time, if you are giving time for the us president to get into office of you know that donald trump has said that he wants to end all aid to ukraine. maybe by march. he will have ended the war. that's the best case scenario. if that is the case with that, allow your party and your chancellor to campaign on the peace dividend of the 1st of all are we talking about the pieces? what we all want to have, and on the other hand, mr. trump says another things is the day is long enough. i don't believe any of that said he would be able to behind the war within one day, as he said, that's different feed to trump rhetoric. we try to and then

a policy policies here. henry are towns and not on this kind of rhetoric that doesn't keep he doesn't he can keep his from is everybody knows ok. german, such a democrat lawmaker, mr. ralph, stagger mr. state and we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us during the what is a very, very busy week. thank you. thank you. all right after the germany coalition collapse, what does this all mean for ukraine? well, for some in analysis, escaped both perspectives from berlin with the w, just head of news, max hoffman, and with the w as an economy in key to both of you. gentlemen, welcome. it's good to have you with us tonight, nick, let me start with you in the eyes of ukrainians. what is worse? donald trump, back in the white house or the current german government collapse. a look,

but i don't think anyone in keith is going to be sitting. let's see if our last shots lose his job. even though germany is the 2nd biggest donor to ukraine, offices, us in terms of ministry and financial support that seeing here as something that's happened despite well that shots his best efforts. robin, thanks to him. that's just the perception here. an accurate or not. and i think the real worry is that jimmy could just be consumed with kind of introspection for the next 5 months. so. so if an election is really only held in march, as has been discussed, but compared to what happens in washington, it's obviously not as big a deal. this is the main question right now and key of what will trump to will he try to get a stick to his campaign places about ending the war in 24 hours. as he said, i mean the 1000 say of this war is pretty close. and for most people, those claims seem to look like code for basically just putting the pluck on school for ukraine and forcing blame is and ask you to basically go cap in hand to vote in

the future. so that is the main focus of attention now. but certainly gemini, being occupied with its own business is not good for you. great, either. next, let me bring it to you and look through the berlin government lens. i mean, we know that donald trump does not support anymore a for ukraine. that would mean that germany would be ukraine's number one donor by default, if the aide were to stop coming from washington. more money, more weapons for ukraine at the expense of germany. i mean, you can't win an early election with that. can you, as well as widespread agreement here branch that no country can pick up the slack from the us, especially when it comes to the delivery of happen. heavy weaponry and ammunition to ukraine. money is a different issue. germany theoretically, would be able to spend more money to support ukraine, but it would need to have a government with a majority in parliament and they don't have that at the moment. that much is clear now, would it be a killer at the voting booth to have uh, to pledge more support,

more financial support, more a delivery of weapons and ammunition. it's hard to say if you look at the polls, yes, they are evolving into one direction. they're involving into the direction that support for this delivery for spending so much money on ukraine is eroding in germany, so it's declining. there are some pulls that show that there's still a significant part of the population in germany. those that do support this or even want more support for ukraine. so in, in the end it really depends which, which kind of which part of the body population you're trying to target with that. and if you do want to target those that support ukraine, they still make up a significant part of the population. i want to ask you next to that what mr. state you just mentioned, and this is fear of the rise of the far right in politics here. i mean, we, we saw it played out somewhat with donald trump, and there's fear that they can have here, for example, but the, if the party and we know that the, a f d is against aid for ukraine. so wouldn't any increase in german responsibility for

ukraine wouldn't strengthen the a if these chances on election day next year, as it might play a role. although the far right, a se now has competition. when it comes to this policy point with a new re established b s w party, which is in the context of germany, we fairly russia friendly. and they also attract people who are against supporting ukraine in the war against russia. so that part of the vote might be, might be split, might not help the a if the, as much as you would think that still polls again here a, if these doing very well in the polls. although all those numbers have been established before this happened yesterday before this current collision crash, there are at about 18 percent and, and the ukraine question is definitely a part of that success. but not the only part of that success. nick, uh, let me ask you before we run out of time here. uh,

ukraine's military has to get through yet another winter if german elections are held in march or, or even sooner, what would the ideal outcome be in the eyes of ukrainian presidential lensky? i think it's clear that it's not another uh shots government that is evident from all that kind of statements you have heard for the last 2 years they've made found a way of dealing with him, but he's definitely not that 1st choice of the parties in his coalition, the greens and also the liberals i seen but a lot more as more like more open, more sympathetic to ukraine here, especially the greens and the book. jeremy's for mr. here just a couple of days ago for what looks like probably her last visit here in ukraine. i think looking at the conservatives that the christian democrats, there is a lot more that in terms of talk of giving you credit more of what it wants, in terms of long distance weapons. we've had at the lead amounts that talking about

an ultimatum to the russian side, saying if you don't stop attacking ukraine sued infrastructure, you stop. if you don't stop attacking power stations, then we will give those towers those missiles that you, that germany has been refusing. so far, the hand of and that you crane says it needs to basically increase the price of this will for russia and force russia to come to the negotiating table on terms that ukrainians can live with. so that is something that seem a lot of options and here obviously if the know so you know, criticism of helps you credit from the left from, as of i can make that is something that they are painfully aware of. but for now it seems like this, german kind of christ could end up coming up with a government that is more open to the kinds of things that you great needs. yeah. unexpected intentions there. do that. we use the kind of leading keith and dw head of news max hoffman here in berlin to both of you. thank you. or, or it is a quick look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world rescue operations are underway. after a bus rode over on a highway near the city of rochester, in upstate new york,

local media say more than 2 dozen people have been injured. one critically official save the tour bus was on its way to niagara falls. australia is seeking to band social media access for people under the age of 16. the prime minister says the legislation will be introduced in parliament this year said there would be no exceptions for users who have parental consent. if approved, the policy will be one of the world's most strange. in the united states, president joe biden has spoken to the nation for the 1st time since donald trump was declared the winner of the presidential election by the thing to election workers across the country. for ensuring that the vote was fair and transparent and he heaped praise on vice president campbell, a harris for her campaign, and promised a peaceful transfer, a power to the trump administration. in january yesterday, i spoke of present electronic to graduate amount of victory. and i assured him

direct my entire administration worker his team to ensure a peaceful and orderly transition that's with the american people deserve. yesterday i also spoke of vice president harris. she's been a partner and the public service, shred it, aspire and campaign, and everyone got to see something that i learned early on to respect, so much for character. she's a backbone, like a ramrod. she is great character, true character. she gave her whole heart effort. and she and her entire team should be proud of the campaign they ran as well. one of the closely watched races in the us election centered around the city of dearborn in that swing state of michigan. after supporting drew bye back in 2020, this error that majority city helped donald trump return to the white house this

time around. so there's, there's a anger over the binding ministration. support of israel was key to their vote and anger that president elect trump capitalized all the city of dearborn and michigan and its largest share of power than most of them. voters has traditionally lean toward the democratic party in 2020 joe biden, 170 percent of the vote. here the growing anger, it is administrative over the wars and the middle east, and the 10s of thousands of civilian deaths helped donald trump claim victory at the ballot box in the crucial battle ground state. as a palace man, i could not get myself to bubble, and pamela harris, who has repeatedly sent over the last 7 or 8 months that she believes in israel's right to defend itself. and at the end of the day, what i think people recognize that people explicitly side of the understand that from could be work with a scale of injustice that people have witness. hills in comparison to anything else is they done is co founder of the uncommitted movement started in february. the

goal was to pressure the bite and administration to change its stance on israel and the wars and gaza and 11 on ahead of the election. its leaders called on voters not to endorse harris, but they also warned against voting for trump in the end. they say they're not surprised. so many did cast a ballot for the republican leader. donald trump, of the is playing our communities is playing american voters is playing the air of and muslim community. and it is failed. democratic leadership that is allowing him to do that. they say hers is inability or unwillingness to make a clear break with her administration's political and military support for israel hurt her chances in michigan and forbid to become the next us president. earlier i spoke with yusef mooney year, who is

a senior fellow at the error center in washington dc, and i asked him if eric americans anger about the war in gauze that led to harris losing the selection. yeah, thank you for having me on look. i, i think this is a very simplistic uh, narrative that kind of misses a bigger and more important thing going on in this election as it relates to us support for israel. there were tens of millions of votes. cast air of americans, of course, played their part and have an outside impact in certain places like dearborn where there is a higher concentration of arab americans. but everything we know from polling suggest that it is far from just out of americans or air than most americans who have been outraged over the bi inheritors administration's support for israel, despite the ongoing criminality that we have seen as military carry out and gaza.

in fact, earlier this year, a poll found that the majority of democratic respondents saw what was happening in gaza as genocide. again, this is not just air than most of them americans. most americans have been wanting to see and, and to arms sales to israel. after all of their ethics, things that they've been seeing going on define harris administration's policy, of course has been to do the opposite. and this has led me it's affection. yeah, let me, let me ask you, let me ask you, then moving forward this 2nd. so now you have president elect donald trump, he, he received endorsements from some of those. one of the leaders in the us, um, which is a stark contrast to the donald trump and the muslim travel band that we saw 8 years ago. these endorsements, do you think they helped trump when the election? i think if you look at actually what happened in dearborn and the areas where you

do have a higher concentration of arab americans and you look at how they've voted this year compared to how they bought it in 2020. what becomes clear is that donald trump didn't so much when in those areas, as couple of harris last tens of thousands of people who voted for binding in 2020 simply did not come out to vote for harris or try. and so it was an alienation from both candidates that led to these outcomes. certainly you have some people among arab americans who supported donald trump as you had people from all different kinds of backgrounds in the united states who supported donald trump. but, but, but the, the, the operative dynamic here, when i was a rejection of the fine, harris administration before the support of israel and a rejection of donald trump at the same time, you know, have trump and you know, and, you know, have his promise. he's made a promise to the air,

but american community that he will in the war in gaza. do you believe him? you know, i don't, i've learned to not believe that anything that donald trump says, i think we here in the united states and seen donald trump, make a whole range of statements and promises that are very far from reality. and the truth. what i know is donald trump is likely to allow benjamin netanyahu to be in the driver's seat of policy in the region, which is not very different than what joe biden has done. and it is because of those decisions by the buying harris administration. that many, many voters could not bring themselves to supporting the democratic candidate and likely cost them the election and may ultimately cost americans their democracy. so that a for a nation can continue for retraining, a genocide,

thousands of miles away. well, if, if, if trump does not keep his word on gauze and what, what has been achieved then by not voting for comma lamps. you know, a lot of people vote for all different kinds of reasons. people forward and, and in this country against their immediate interest all the time and, and voting is a very complicated act. it's not always as simple, straightforward calculation of what is best and the next 4 years. for a lot of people, it's about principal, it's about dignity. and for people who have been watching children being slaughtered by the weapons that their tax dollars have paid for for the past year. and the idea of casting a vote in support of an administration. i cannot say that that is wrong. ok, i was simply unconscionable missed one of your unfortunately we're out of time,

but we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us on this thursday. thank you. a thank you. finally, the restoration of hair is, is known for dom could see droll has marked a milestone with the arrival of a set of new belts ahead of its reopening. next month. the fair, you heard it all, moves the bellows, replace those that were silenced after fire, destroyed this fire and roof because these were back in 2019, one of them has a special meaning. it was years in this year as parents olympics in the cities scan the phones stadium. the bills will be installed above the altar of the 861 year old, gothic masterpiece and will be wrong during math. this is a reminder now of our top stories driven transfer. all of schultz has held a closed door meeting with opposition leader predict merits after the collapse of
