scheduled to take place according to the february 23 date, the new confidence for with us to take place in the final week of the parliamentary setting before christmas. so the week of beginning the 16th of december, we don't know the exact date the some days we might, but it would be not we can i'm what would then happen is that cancel all of shots and lose that vote because he doesn't have a majority in parliament, the president frank, father stein meyer within have 21 days to dissolve parliament. and then when he does that, we have 60 days to hold elections. and that brings us to february 23rd of data by it's all right, matthews. standby, we're going to come back to you in just a moment. first, we want to take a closer look now with the events of last week that led to the collapse of the german coalition govern of the after 3 rocky years of government. germany is now on the path to new elections. the 3 party coalition which formed in 2021 fell apart on november 6th. when chancellor,

olaf schultz fired finance ministry coast young linda from the business friendly, free democrats who refused to approve new debt to fund the budget around this. there is no basis of trust for further cooperation about serious government work is not possible in this way. for now, germany is being managed by a minority government. schultz and his social democrats are clinging together with the green party headed by o, but how back they'll need votes from opposition. parties to pass any further legislation the all the tasks will not become any easier. neither in the present nor in the foreseeable future, it will become more challenging for germany in particular house for another out. and the next step requires a confidence vote and the bonus tag members would vote on whether to continue supporting shoulds as chancellor. a vote. he's expected to lose. schultz had hoped to delay this until early next year, saying they're still important work to do. but opposition leader freely commands

from the christian democrats demanded a confidence vote as soon as possible. he's seeking to become chancellor with his party riding high in the polls. these are father, chancellor. most nell fulfilled this responsibility, and it is his responsibility to ensure that we can get a new federal government to quickly become a gun and then comes and election much earlier than september 2025. as originally planned. the poll now look set to take place on february 23rd after agreement between the governing s p d and the opposition conservatives who are leading in the polls. in the meantime, olaf shoulds remains chancellor. now it's up to the votes to decide if you can stay or needs to move out and make way for a new chancellor. so matthew, what more can you tell us about why everything fell apart last week as well? friends, remember, this was a government that was made up of 3 parties quite unusual in germany. and basically it was the business friendly, liberal,

possibly as to pay the greens and the social democrats in the sense of left on the team. they agreed on a, on a platform for government just months, really before russia and they did you clean and not really change the calculus. it changed all the promises. it meant that the economy in germany was really, was really badly affected by that because of and the cost of the energy and ports going up. inflation was rising. and in that 1st year 2022, they agreed on quite a low. i must say they agreed on sending a to clean on spending big on the on the ban. describe the german army in 20232. i'm caught started to appear on the 2024. we saw more of that and we still more with the intense feuding and with open kind of disagreements and briefing in the papers. and so this question about how long this government could handle could, could survive as being kind of in the air for the last few months for the if not longer on, it came to ahead because the german economy is really struggling at the moment. and

goal is, is, is poor. and so there was really big disagreements between what the future as well as the plan to get jimmy. this mess and the business friend the dump them free democrats. they basically said they have a completely different ideological idea than this one to left social democrats. and that's where things last week really came to a head and tons of all i felt said look enough is enough. ok dw political correspond to matthew moore with this breaking news early elections coming in. germany probably next february. nothing. thank. it's well from one political restarted to another. this one on the other side of the atlantic in the united states president the leg trump's cabinet is taking shape. but the problem is to do what trump the candidates said he would do. his trump, the president. and that means getting tough on legal immigration. trump says that he plans to name it thomas homer acting director of immigration and customs enforcement, i mean, was known as the borders are in the 1st trop administration. the president elect is

rubio opposed russia's invasion, but this year he voted against a major us aid package for keys. in line with trump stated ambition to untangle the us from overseas conflicts, the overall alignment between rubio and his potential next boss is a major turnaround from the relation. he began to unmask the true nature of the front runners so far in this race. 5 days ago, we began to explain to the american people that donald trump is a con artist. but a lot can change in the political world. and in this case, bygones and now bygones as the world watches to see what u. s. foreign policy will look like over the next 4 years. all right, let's get you called up now and some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. the police in china is a 35 people are dead and dozens injured. after a man rammed a car into a crowd in the southern city of zoo high,
