to i just hit the on pablo phone alias. welcome to the program. we start with breaking news from here in germany, where transfer all of shelves has lost a vote of confidence in parliament. sholtes one of the support of only $270.00. the majors far short of the majority of needed to when he'd been expected to lose the vote. after his 3 party coalition collapsed in early november when he fired his finance minister in a dispute over how to revitalize germany's stagnant economy. it pays to wait for its not protections in february, and this is the moment when the result was an ext. unplug the splitting, the chancellor's motion did not achieve the required majority of at least $367.00 votes in favor of each rather than bonus. i will inform the president of the results of the vote without delay time. is that time is this to the end of our

agenda. ok. and to the end of the coalition of the under, as we can cross live now to the german part of the bonus tag. and dw is chief political editor mechanic who's there who standing by for some kind of great to see a busy day indeed for you. we have the result we expected. so what happens next? yes. when we heard, as uh, from the present of haldeman, she's going to inform the presidents, germany's federal presence who has allows the ceremonial role. and he has $21.00 days within which he can decide what to do. he could also try and get the co listen, add to all the former co would us and tasks talk to each other again. but we understand from the comments he's made before that he will clear the way for elections on the 23rd of february. so its last me procedural from now on was on the road to those a snap selection. all right,

so if it isn't indeed i'd say confirmed that at the election will take place on the 23rd of february next year. what issues are set to dominate on the campaign trail? while the big one is the economy, that's because domini, which is the 3rd or 4th largest economy in the world of 10, depending on who you believe. and we had both mentioned here in parliament today. and is, has a lot of economic indicators, pointing downwards, is also in the midst of a technology transition. it's key caught industry is particularly hit. also it'd be in electronic vehicle section of it. and that to sparks use concerns here in germany that timmy's, hey, day of seeing and, and also in industrial country could be over. so that is something that's moving very large or sofas. response is a to want to pull money into the economy. to give out ron, for specific industries, and that is something that is counted by the leader of the opposition,

the city police, mass of the, the of a conservative cd. you see a few pos and union of for we knows i'm apples aussie, he wants to create new dynamism by causing taxes that he has is gave in condemnation, not just of the performance of this coalition. it today, but that's a policy of the transfer and have him at the european level and also expect and other issues like migration to play, a large role, the biggest that becomes, of an issue. the more it plays into the hands of the fall, right? if the policy which is neck and neck with the chances own espy, the posse, a hovering, just below 20 percent of the leading conservative current in the falls at around 30 percent. and so these will be key issues that both sides of zooming in on and they've already each choose each other of not having done the math in the policy programs. and since the not having the financing straight. so just a quick reminder,

that's the exact issue. why this whole coalition essentially implode, is certainly days now at schultz will be needing a minority government for the next 2 months. so where does this leave the german chancellor on the world stage because it's a pretty hectic at time at the moment. here's what time it is for me to sol, spots is remains deposit, it can still take decisions, but both the government on parliament conti key decisions for germany anymore. so that is a huge element of a named doc key nation here in europe. neighboring of course fonts, which has its very own struggles with political stability and, and the spotlights full of potentially be on. it's really interesting the enough when donald trump comes into office on the 20th of january and unveils what his plans are in europe and what he no longer plans to do so. and it was admitted also by the vice swanson, the green tradesman, this,

the habit kit in parliament today that this comes at a very bad point in time for the peas, that is simply was no longer avoidable. this imposing essentially of what was a political experiment, a 3 way coalition, but that doesn't mean that there won't need to be another one to get some majority following this for next monday. the 3rd mikaela. thanks for that update stage of music. chief political editor, metallic governor joining us from the derm permit and the stock all right, time to take a look at some of the other headlines making use around the world. versus defense ministry has released footage, allegedly showing the recapture of a settlement in the countries course grades. and this is where ukraine's military launched a cross border incursion. and oldest ukraine says at least 30 north. the korean soldiers have been killed in recent weeks. and course, while fighting along side russian troops, medical workers and guys, and say at least 16 people, including women and children, were killed in them,

is ready to strike on a shelter for displaced people in iraq to come to guys as a civil defense agency said, is there any strikes on sunday killed dozens of people across the street, including an alger 0, a journalist, and 3 rescue workers. more than the week after being deposed. serious, i've said president bush or other side has broken his silence about his full from power in a written statement posted on social media aside said, says he never planned to abandon his country as rebels rebel forces closed in on damascus. he claims he initially moved to a russian base in western syria to continue fighting. but as russia evacuated him after the base came under attack, he also denied serious new leaders as terrorists, shot shot as well as cross over to damascus. now where it dw corresponded abraham is standing by for us a little bit to see you. so it appears that bus route aside has broken the silence

after several days and after fling syria and does this message appear to be real. so this message did appear on the telegram and facebook accounts that have been thus far controlled by the syrian presidency, or i should say, the former syrian of presidency. but of course, in the midst of this chaos, it's really difficult to tell who was actually in control of the social media accounts. i didn't, whether it was actually resorted as it himself, who sort of put a pen and paper together and wrote this down. so it comes from accounts that have been associated with the presidency, but there's no way to tell for sure if this is coming from the former president smells directly, especially that we've essentially not heard from him since his or removal for a departure or whatever you want to call it over a week ago. yeah. and actually tell us a little bit more about that because as a side claims that rush of force him to abandon the country. right.

right. the letter is quite long and essentially what for sure, as i said, if he is indeed the real author of this letter tries to do in this letter is put a lot of blame outside of himself and sort of delegate a lot of the agency that he had as the ruler of syria, a we from the actions or the sequence of events that have happened that have unfolded, you know, last week and essentially the 2 weeks before that looked lead to his ouster. so there's a lot of leaving, a lot of sort of, i did my best, i stood my ground for as long as i could. and essentially that what happened leading to his departure, what was not his fault and this is to be expected. i think nobody was really expecting an apologetic letter or an apologetic statement. you know, taking any kind of bleeding for what has happened from the former president. so it's been met with quite a bit of, uh, i would say laughter and uh,

and humor here on the streets of damascus. all right, so to say, or even ask, does he actually still exercise any influence in syria or as are supporters field there? have you, what are you seeing there on the ground day and we don't have a huge amount of time unfortunately, but if you could tell us about that would be great. sure. i mean his supporters have so far been silent. i think got a fear of retribution and so on, but i think even among his supporters, there's just a lot of disappointment from what the former president has done. i mean this is that he's basically left to fend for themselves. and so you can imagine what's going through the heads of many of his lifelong supporters, but so far there's a lot of, you know, piece in quite here on the ground and they seem to be like too low. and i mean, if his supporters are here, there are certain big certainly been a quiet so far. i think that's great. and great to see you in damascus. the w corresponded to abraham and southern 11 on thousands of people were displaced by israel's attacks during its war with his ball on many have now be

going. returning home, following these, these far reached between israel and 11. on the end of november, those who have returned are now confronted with massive destruction and a long reconstruction process. i had this next report comes from our correspondence in the southern avenue city of tar, of the this used to be not do you know, i mean the living room where she and her family would eat and watch tv. but 2 months before have done this to her house in the coastal town of times. israel must, with the attack, the city in south lebanon. nadine says that there was no reason such as has fallen members for her house to be destroyed. that much, but i didn't expect our house to look like this and know that and the nbc and there was nothing here and then we'll talk on like him. but our house was destroyed because they bought the house right next to us and they had she and her family

back. now, after spending the war and toys, old towns, the only area that wasn't heavily targeted, they were hoping to simply move backup the ceasefire was announced 2 weeks ago. that's clearly not possible. your phone. it was hard. i mean that we couldn't retrieve anything and even our clothes were trapped under the rubble of fashion and was there with my toys, with my pillow. look for some job. it's just not just poor and my school to to of the as the ceasefire takes effect. thousands of people like nothing a going back home and a shot by what they find a few weeks ago they use for any army hit ties,

main water pumping station that left the entire provence. without wondering what was the municipality officials say it could take up to several months to fix. meanwhile, some people on tyra getting on with it. they invited people from across lebanon to help them. teen up. those came included, locals. go and then to my coming back here again, makes me feel grateful when i'm, despite all of this destruction inside of it, i'm happy to come back to tired and to clean up my city, i'm ups full time and how long would it be towed on on of the bed i would love to help to restore tire, to how we know it's to bring light fixture tyra and to us as well. and the dean, which system have destroy the balcony repairing her home. when the money the family doesn't have. she hopes that someone would offer her compensation sort of in

like everything will be alright about your dad will rebuild the house and we'll get back all your stuff or the material. those will be fixed, but there's also emotional loss and trauma to deal with. well here's a reminder of the braking use this air a mix. these german trans, her off shells says lost a vote of confidence and parliament. the result puts the country on course for its not elections in february, the vote follows the collapse of his coalition. government sholtes as now asked the german president of the shine line to dissolve, parked, serious, deposed, president of usher outside has broken his silence after fleeing to russia. in a written statements, he says he planned to keep on fighting with the russians evacuated. that's all for now. next
