the, the, this is the w news live from berlin, germany's leda all upfront spaces, a decisive vote, as he fights for his political future. and a special problem entry section. charlotte says being making the case, the why he should remain at the helm of governments. he's widely expected to lose the confidence vote, which will clear the policy early elections. also coming up on the program authorities pay a hundreds of been killed up to the was psych loan and nearly a century. it's the french overseas territory of mild, the storm whites out neighborhoods and costs of power. some survivors haven't had was today's, the

menu mckinnon. welcome to the program. here in germany, it is crunch time. the chance level of charlotte says he faces a version of confidence in parliament. so it's cool the vote officer, the collapse of his governing coalition. he is widely expected to lose this votes paving the way for new elections, which already set to february. in his speech before the vote to use the opportunity to promote his political agenda, polls show that felt the social democrats on all headed defeats by the conservative opposition. and despite that short, it's insisted that cooling the vote of confidence was the right thing to do. and he accused his former coalition partners, the free democrats and the lead to close tendon of sabotaged sabotaging the government. and for 3 years we managed to run this coalition to make

decisions. we needed a lot of strength for this kind of my decision to end. the coalition also took a great deal of strength because it could not continue as it was the, me. and i don't just mean the weeks that of sabotage that b f. these he undertook to undermine the government. some things came to light that not any damage, some of the government which damage democracy as a whole. that is the damage that this fear to cause. the w. c. political edison, mikaela cruz now is the bonus tag. she was listening to ola charlotte speak in the last hour mikayla tell us festival, what you made of shots his speech the speech, but he's making some old make cars ahead of the confidence votes. it sounded

a bit like he was on the campaign trail already didn't fit funny is because everybody's accepting those elections to actually take place on the 23rd of february. so just over 2 months time to actually make a case for johnson who's a reputation has been pretty badly damaged over there's more than 3 d is in this coalition that he wasn't able to hold together. that as he puts his, he felt was sabotaged by the freed democrats. in fact, his vice tons, so by topic from the green party. and as i spoke at just a while ago and he reconfirmed, he said to the free democrats to kind of be possible governments that he was against, then you have to leave at this coalition or a coalition. in the end, it was what i sold. so how to essentially throw out says fine on some of the stuff from the free democrats and it. and he went into the phase where he was making his election hits,

which included reducing taxes on foods to make groceries of raising the min minimum wage from the $1241.00. the euro is at the moment to 15. so that would fulfill a trade union demand and also at talking that it was time to take a break at from the debt break, something that he helped loans and so no surprise that there was some scathing criticism from the opposition the, the on demand. he looks pretty liking to come on top and these upcoming elections because his conservative saving you is upwards of 30 percent of the moment that's replaced math. and for the math accused him of just speaking about how to redistribute money, but not speaking about how to re energize an economy that is pointing downwards. so very, very key to the exchange here at this moment, which is in the end point about that key votes that will free the weights of samples. all right, so this confidence though typically happens

a few times in pose for gen politics has on it. so just to put it into cold into context for us is 6 times this is happening used to be there's any one conservative tarza him will cool. went through the vote of confidence and most of the time, talk to us did this to both the, the support in parliament or to really asking questions for instance. uh it was god's who don't. whether to go into the full against a rock together with the americans off to $911.00. and his decision was not to do that and he got the backend here for it. this time it's for the 1st time use the wait was in this would be actually meant to be used, which is when a government sales there's looming in stability. the chancellor has the opportunity to off for this most confidence is expected to to lose. it just seemed a waste of pressure next. and the hope is that this will create the most stable form of government. and this will emanate some,

germany's post for history in particular, the weimar republic failing which pays the way a to, for the not season auto fitness to come to power. so that's the constitutional background to that. and if this vote goes to plan the problem and does declare, it has no confidence in charlotte, it's just give us the next steps. why do we go from here? yeah, then the thompson would have to go to the federal presidents funk by the stein maya . and who are ready let it be known that he would aim for the 23rd of february as in the next in date. so off, so that it's pretty much just sticking to protocol. he within the sol haldeman. but that wouldn't actually dissolve the problem in the sense that it couldn't take any decisions. that gift gets stressed over and over again. also in the why the context of the european instability and also with an eye towards fonts which is struggling to get its budget together. and actually hold the government together and germany can decides them and palm is can decide on many boxes. but key issues like,

for instance, and entering a treaty are not possible always subjects to ever is in todd's following those semplex. it debbie's chief political edison mckayla could not me show you that. thank you very much. with our season, the french overseas territory is mild, fair, hundreds, perhaps even thousands of people have been killed by the most destructive cycling in nearly a century. the islands of the east african coast were already francis, poorest overseas region. the full cycling, chito flats, and entire communities fronts is interior minister has arrived to join the crisis operations. the french military has delivered aid supplies as rescue, as on our racing to stave off. the humanitarian does often of the 1st came the winds and rain from cycling chito and then came the next thread. the wind spread

destruction left behind them. i don't wonder frances, poorest overseas territories rescue teams have already started to clear the debris left behind by the storm. and help is on the way from france in the form of emergency workers and humanitarian aid. a badly needed lifeline for those who have already lost everything. come to get something to eat for the kids and for us adults as well. we've got nothing left. the wins taking it all the way we had stocked up at the wing took it up. what date was the one i probably would have had no water for 3 days now, so it's starting to be a lot. we're trying to get the bare minimum to live on. because we don't know when the water will come back to do. the full scale of the destruction is visible from the air. more than 3 quarters of the islands, 300000 people live below the poverty line. most were living in

a mixture of homes and slums and shanty towns which have now all but been wiped out for the measure how the house was built. every thing here has been in different stages. i think you can see it all around me. i'm actually walking through debris is or people one day off to the site or not, or really busy rebuilding the homes. but the work is going to be extremely long to model. while some start to rebuild, others are left only to say their final farewells, as mild starts to recover after the war cycle and in almost a century. let's come on out from the dw correspondent lisa lewis, who is joining us from paris, at least uh have you been able to get any more updates from miles? what is happening there right now? well, the situation is getting more die by the hour we've heard. now that

a to 5 percent of the electricity network has breaking down, which makes communication was very difficult. also, 8 workers have been saying that hunger is mounting. people that really help not saying that facing a water, there is no food. and obviously, as we just heard, 8 workers rescue rockers are trying to clear the roads to get to those who are in need. it is a race against time, really, because there's also the fear that if you know clean water access, it's not restored very soon. and there is the risk of water bone disease and we, the front is interior minister is visiting miles. right now. can you tell us more about what fronts is actually doing to support its own territory and what is obviously a catastrophic situation while it is yes, the government, the interior minutes of the time you said earlier that it might take days or even

weeks to figure out how many people were killed by this devastating site sign at the authorities all have puts in place. and alice to that is going through reunion the re union islands us 2 and a half hours by flying away from my york. we've also hut, task economy, the about 1600 young dogs and police officers in my office to make sure that everything is going smoothly and a tire. is this going to send? and now the 800 personal to help them. obviously forward is also trying to re establish, reconstruct the international airport in my, your current lease. the control target is not working. so in the military plains come along, the not kind of limits of the, the, the, the age that can be proved that so on different today in different ways that trying to re establish, you know, a way to help people also in remote territories or no pos about territory. it sounds uh,

possibly not enough given the situation. and i wanted to mention this report that was published by the french parliament which highlighted some serious issues with adults to management in front says overseas territories like mild. so the question really is, i mean, could this crisis have been prevented? so when i report mentioned insurance problems, for example, you know, the insurance companies deal more quickly with claims, often natural disasters but also the fact that housing meet. so, but that to be adapted to these risk doctors, really a very, very central part because you know what could help territories like my yard is to get the houses that we construct them in the most stable way. kindly return that report 3 quarters of the population off or you know, the polity line. and that means one fact of housing there is actually made of sand to towns and not needs to change. if my aunt wants to send

a tons to with some such devastating sidelines in the future, toby's, at least the lives for pushing from powerfully. so thank you. let's take a look at some of the other headlines making news around the world. and israel has reportedly carried out strikes and serious tal tooth region near the mediterranean coast. the strikes caused the massive explosion. the scene here in footage, verified by the voices, news agency, syrian observe a trace of human rights says these rainy military attacks at defense's. i'm miss alt storage sites, a nearby civilian areas. what they've done medical work is in garza say at least 16 people, including women and children, were killed in an is really strongly connor shelter for displace people. and those are outcomes. goals and civil defense agency said, is there any strikes on sunday? killed thousands of people across the strip including announce, is there a journalist on 3 rescue workers roster as defense, ministry has released footage allegedly showing the recapture of
