jonathan leaders are gathering in keith baird and ukraine to mock the fed on investigator of russia's full scale invasion and show solidarity. i made fios of dwindling commitment from the us. the i'm british manager, welcome. germany's voters have opted sort of change of government with official results from sunday's national election. now in conservative feeders, plants is boys to become the countries. next, john's law, a cd you'll see a few block is set to lead a future government with the fed place, social democrats, who led the former administration. the thought i'd say it'd be took 2nd place, but matt's refuses to work with them. let's break down the numbers for you. now match this comes up. this came off on top with 28.5 percent. the thought i'd

alternative for germany double the share of the vote to 20.8 percent, making them the 2nd largest bossy. germany's incumbent source of democrats suffered at the polls dropping over not in percentage points to 16.4 percent. the greens fell 3 percentage points to 11.6 percent the left for the fed better than expected with 8.7 percent of the vote. the b s. w which splintered from the left body last year. only 24.97 percent. just short of the 5 percent threshold needed to enter parliament and the business from the f t p also felt below the 5 percent threshold, sending it crashing out of parliament. other smaller policies together took over 4 percent of the vote. and yeah, that's how election night unfolded staffing. but the conservatives who took fast place a v o. the said he, the cd, you and c, s. u,

the uni of law of one. there's 2025 election which ones is gone and previous matches. the man in the driving seat is clear winner of this election. he said to become jim and john sla though he still faces the tricky task of building a coalition, a center right, cd. you see if you block, received the most, both sparkly emoji, and there were down to 50 percent. it's not the support match. wanted to laugh, shouts will stay on this kid. it's a good chance that but he's days is jim and his lead to our number is s b, d policy etc. and thoughts west results and then they're still election since the 19th century on, on for the big and also on the grounds comm raids face is a base every election results of the social democratic party talking to you for different types of stuff. i know i need to log in the alternative for jim and he thought he nearly doubled it, support the strongest, showing for a fall, right pause. he sits, the 2nd world will in the post election discussion on public t v co leader early as vital had her always on the lead visit power was

a honda solve the fire. how does that stretch to take part in the government and on today we will support the cd, you c s. u, when there are motions that we approvals, if they go in the right direction and the well of the german people is clear, they want change when they wants to coalition between the f b and the conservative assessment brow spots and toys. i think united predicted the conservative blog would not be able to form a stable government. and the if they would in time become germany's largest politics. good man said he thought he had little in common with the i f d fucking misty duck on jones. you can reach out to us as much as you like. we will not see misguided call us inquiry on this move from the green source. small dropping support punished as old a government, which is what i think because among small apologies the less benefit from massage and support from younger voters who heard of it was a campaign. dillman 19 bye fits fios about migration and russia. a filtering economy and the fear that donald trump is changing jim and his relationship with

the united states. crazy man says he has a plan for all of those issues. but 1st, he needs to find out who, who join him in government and all to photo related to mckayla fist. i spoke with member of the cd executive, david mcallister, the bodies headquarters implant with these david mcallister, a member of the city party executive on the head of the foreign affairs committee of the european parliament with some other state which kind of impressed and will you now take to europe, which is waiting for them as he to have a new government fought when i'm back in brussels, i will tell my colleagues spoke city and see us here of the clear winner of these elections for these amounts has amended to form a new german government, we will approach the social democrats very soon. we want to have a stable german government as quickly as possible. soon. what the soon mean?

because we police math is valid that on day one, when he becomes chaunce, that he would instantly reposition germany as a leader, particularly taking a stance towards donald trump over ukraine. how long can this process take within these geo political times? we simply have no time to waste, and that's why the sooner we have a new government in office the better. but of course this needs to be prepared properly. we are now at the beginning of the coalition negotiations. we will approach the social democrats and what we have to do is i'll send you government restore confidence in germany and also restore confidence in our democracy because for worrying part of the, the outside selection is definitely the extremist now have nearly one side of the votes in germany, indeed, we see that the parties at the fringes of the big windows of the night, but 60 the far right. if the policy which doubled it supports to more than 20 percentage points,

was less than is the for your conservative still big 10 policy. well, we need to unite the center and we need to deliver the challenges are enormous. we have to solve the problems. if we solve the problems, jim, you spacing then the fringes who have very simple answers to very complex questions . we'll lose the business case, but we have to deliver and certainly it's jimmy's facing enormous challenges. i like to name free. the 1st one is we need to make our economy competitive again, more competitive. that means a focus on how to bring jeremy previous geopolitical, challenging times from an economic point of view. the 2nd one is the numbers in the irregular migration have to come down drastically. they are far too high. and the 3rd one is as we all know, european security and defense, we will have to do more for our own security and defense. and you know, we don't have to spend more. but we need to do this in an effective manner in close cooperation with like europe in partisan allies. the most likely kotis and partner

will now be the social democrats of the current sounds that will have sold so responsible for this very migration policy. that's so criticized by the conservatives, do you, how confident are you that slid each match will be able to deliver or what you found to be a turnaround on migration. but i think it typically, some of the social democrats are most likely option. we now have but of course, sunday yesterday was a bit difficult day for the social democrats. they what the big lose is of yesterday's election. and also we need to get the social democrats some time to analyze and reflect what went wrong from that point of view. but one thing is clear, the social democrats need to understand that we need to do more full vin, normal, gem and citizens. we need to tackle all the challenges these people are facing. people are concerned and jeremy, about the cost of living people are concerned about the crime in our country. people are concerned about irregular migration. we need to address these issues and

we shouldn't lead these important topics to the radicals the extremes from the fall left on the fall right. now you mentioned time time and again time is of the essence of what is foolish math as a likely next on the able to do and able to negotiate over the coming weeks before dominey actually sees the government in place. but take the on the issue of defense spending on keeping an officer towards donald trump. we are now in a transition period and i'm pretty sure of that child. so schultz and the designate neutrons, subsidies maps will coordinate all important decisions to be taken out to european . and that's an international level. one thing is, the gemini is the largest country in the union, the strongest economy in together with front supposedly play a crucial role in europe. and what we need is a german government, which is capable of taking act. decisions is capable of action as a national into europe, internet and international level gym. the,

the general government was to absent from the european debate in the last 3 years. this has to change and critic met. so says has said from the 1st day and office, he will make sure about germany plays the role we are supposed to play as the largest member states in the european union in coast corporation, with our partners in your final question. will it take weeks? months when we see a new demographic ment before easter. i can't tell you how long it will take. it depends on the end how quickly we can agree on a coordination treaty. this will take of course, some time, but i want to be very clear here. we don't have any time to lose, and that's why the sooner we have a new government, the sooner for these mounts is the neutrons of germany. definitely the better not any for jeremy, but also to europe. david mcallister, thank you very much. all right, let's get mall uh from the deputies, but it's a good correspond enhanced brunt. would you like to be here in the studio? tons, welcome. no time to lose informing a government. so what is the realistic estimate of how long it would take to

actually farm this company? smell everyone's talking about the possibility of forming a new government of a freely mounts being sold. and this tron slipped by east east as in mid to late april. so we're talking about 2 months, um, that seems to be the process that people can imagine this, this going a going on the, there's a tradition in germany for these kind of coalition agreements between various projects to be negotiated in a lot of detail. and that can take a lot of time. what's advantages at this stage is that it's only 2 parties that need to negotiate with each other, rather than the 3 projects that we've had in the previous government. but it can't turn off to be a very detailed and very laborious process, because obviously all parties involved one to have their names also included in these things. so as to if we're lucky, 2 months, so 2 months would be false by just under the right. what happens in the,

in tell them who runs germany and then data? because obviously there is a provision made for this and the constitutional, the current insurance that will show us will continue to be charged to the, until the neutron. so that is one in a kind of lame doctor johnson that obviously he can't really take major decisions. but there is a government in place a. the expectation is that the off shots will include privilege, mallets, and many of his negotiations and decisions. we have a president for this when, what are the shots? became johnson the following on from aguilar medical at the time. not co took him a long even to major some of the meetings. he was finance minister in her government at the time. so you had a kind of official role, it's a possibility that charles would do similar sorts of things. but obviously there is some worry um, internationally, especially in that, in this into room periods. things in germany will become very sluggish still. and they're all major things happening. uh, there is a lot of urgency,

especially around this situation. you trains and relationships to the new government, the trump administration in washington meetings, summit meetings, emergency meetings of the european union are taking place within days. so you would have to see exactly how they do that in order to have that interview from my david mcallister. he talked about the german government being absent from the debate for far too long as the community germany wants to reengage. if we use the language that he's using, but is it going to be easy given that it's going to be potentially a tool potty coalition? 3 particular syncing easy is a plus s b the is it going to be easy to make the decisions that need to be made at the base? of course they need to be made for the effectiveness of the level? i think it's going to is certainly be easier than it was before in the 3 part. the collision that we've had for the last 3 and the bit is um that's coalition actually had caught in effect on european union decisions. because sometimes the german

government within itself could not decide what position to take in europe and that the land. a lot of prices and change some decisions. so i enter europe and level and also one of charles has never somebody who had a particularly good relationship to a monument. my call the french president, and that's access between france and germany, is regarded as the major drive of european policy and of the european union. so for those mass, so thankful especially tried to improve that relationship with friends with emanuel and my call also matched with somebody who is a lot more accessible on questions of defense of where shots was someone richardson's a. so decisions about the increasing funds for the, for defense, a european defense policy and so masters like to be more accessible than that. we leave it there for the moment that people have been in correspondence. hans bron thanks so much for that. so we talked about the condition that the cd usually is

here with the s b d. but what about the far right alternative for germany? the air b, it's doubled, it's vulture in sunday's election and became the 2nd largest party with 20.8 percent. according to preliminary results of this box, it's shift from the fringes to a major politic and force. but despite this gains or major parties have ruled out, working with the f t, it is now set to be the largest opposition party and the press conference earlier today, the 8 of the volunteer coordinator praise the bodies historic result and said voters wanted to see the f d s. sponsor for new government v as in buckeye that we are prepared to take on responsibility in the gym and vice has have voted for political change. for this issue. we have a strong majority for the f d and the cdn. mia high votes is one a central right wing government,

the available fish unlimited. i think you will. now it's down to the union, a conservative, whether they want to deliver that. so i think right now it looks like that. what happened the previous matter seems to be sticking to his attitude of blocking working together with the f d, which we do not think as democrats, it, you can not simply exclude millions of voted. and so it's down to the union block to see how they deal with this on their own. but what we can expect is that if they do form a coalition with us today, they will not be able to implement all of the sd positions that they co pay to learn such as mice. can you please if you put the 21, gives them vent and the 2nd corresponding about the mall told us that the potential correlation with the source of the democrats could run into difficulties over most migration. the f t believes that would put it in a strong position of the accounting on the government of the center right on

a central left government. really not being able to, to push through the measures that the center right lead us, we take matchers, the monitors likely to be the next time so that he won't be able to get his we, when it comes time to the cracks done on your regular migration that he has promised voters, and that is what if he is waiting for and they see that if he doesn't do that, he will be waiting in the wings rate to, to apply pressure not necessary to go for those measures as becomes the buddhist. i took to make sure they get through that would place the cd, you and i really tight bind. but the main thing is, this is a force now to be reckoned with. the, the 2nd biggest part part in parliament. and they will be there influencing the the debate and, and understand them influencing that to be in the country. and basically sending the message to f, a, c, d, u doesn't solve this problem of a regular migration. we will be wasting in the wings and we will be ready to overtake his date of the 2nd correspond to matthew mall. they're talking to other news now, and a dozen leaders from europe and canada have travelled through ukraine to mock the

3rd and diversity of russia's full scale invasion. after attending a settlement in the capital key to honor those killed in the wall, the leaders held a meeting where they reaffirm their support for ukraine. it comes as a us, a key ally. it's reckoning to withdrawal each packing for keys present from has suggested that ukraine should make concessions to achieve up these dean with russia . that's why i most to, let's take a look. but the tell russia has amazing them. ukraine began and some of the major events that have happened since then. brushes invasion again just before 4 in the morning. i'm glad from the soon afterwards for some tank started running over the buddhist grade. 10 days later, russian troops had reached the keeps of ups. maybe 20 kilometers preference landscape of downtown keith. people could hear the author, the re fi, the edge of the city. the rest of the troops had underestimated ukrainian

resistance as of a stretch. the logistics fire, the april you created, pushed crescent troops out of the key region as they did so, they came across the 1st evidence of personal trustees. like here, let me put you these are the scenes. and so we took the city month registration again in september, ukraine. we took thousands of square kilometers, attaching the south and east of the country where you crane and going hard and fostering the previous fulton versus ami flint. the slow and steady advanced media, least of to 10 months or so called me crying to seat. russia captured what was left of the city about much more than $60000.00 russian soldiers are estimated to be killed or wounded. taking the city of the month for speculation, months in which russia was able to build defenses, lay mine fields, grain, launched it along the way to the counter offensive. the results were mika,

ukraine was only able to shift the front line by a few 100 square kilometers. so, this was something, no one had expected. ukrainian troops on russian sol, with the front lines in the south, the east well defended every mind. ukraine struck the most of the least expecting it in a couple of days, you credit of taking the time of such a surrounding villages. you know, you january 2025. ukraine stepped up its long range grown attacks on russian oil facilities. the aim was to disrupt the fuel supply to the russian army, as well as reducing the criminal export ratings as rushes and evasion of ukraine, which is the 3rd anniversary. russia controls about 20 percent ukrainian directory . 12000 crane civilians been confirmed killed before the 30000 injured. the 2 figures i believe to be significantly high, a mystery casualties because it kept under wraps on both sides. so 2 estimates put the middle 2 desktops at 80000 on the crate inside of 200001 the russian side,

with many more wounded. and today in key former british prime minister bar has done some so done for an interview with the w cut only. not your mind began by asking him what he thought of donald trump's recent comments that both of the media dimansky is a dictator. the guy think a couple of things. so that's why i deplore those improves about ukraine. ukraine didn't start the was lensky, is not a dictator. did school well in that way, hearing this kind of nonsense. you know, he might as well say that the united states attacks, japan, po hall, but right, it's is just the, the inversion of the truth. i think, why did he say, i think he is a lot of nonsense about the war from some of his people. he take seriously, but i think he's also trying to, to negotiate. and what he's trying to do is it's what i think he was frustrated

about the lack of progress on the, the minerals agreement with, with the train. and that's if you look at what happened, that was when it all started. and so that trigger 6, the best that i came to kid didn't get a deal. and that's when the polemics began. it's regrettable, i, but i'm hopeful that today even today i may be in agreement and that would be positive because the agreement, when you look at this, is very good for ukraine actually. i mean, it's, it's tough, but i very not security guarantees that is the lensky main concern, the security guard and deals. right. i think that we have to be frank and say that um, but with the deal commit to the united states to a free sovereign and secure ukraine. it commits the united states to continue to finance ukraine and commit to united states to a long time economic partnership with ukraine. trump is also said that he's in

favor of the british having boots on the ground in ukraine. the french heavy boots on the run do i have the germans as, as well. so i guess, or historical it goes, it may make it difficult. the other european countries have to be heading between mcbride and ukraine. and that was a former british prime minister board at johnston speaking through the diagnosed catalina troy in keys. the question of french boots on the ground is likely to come up at the white house where us president donald trump, has about conference president. emmanuel mcfall, for adults, they are likely to discuss prospects for ending russia's war and ukraine. i mean differences on how to proceed. macro is hoping to persuade trump to include your pen, lead 1000 thoughts with moscow on the wall. my problem is that russia is an existential search to europeans. from all i'm joined now if i do the washington bureau chief n as full welcome eunice. my calls visit comes i made

a drawing rift between the us and europe. what can we expect from this meeting? it's it comes indeed and also comes uh, on the 3rd anniversary of rush us invasion of your train us we just saw. and i think this is also a moment to pause this war's going on since 3 years, and hundreds of thousands of people have lost their lives. so this is really kind of the perspective we should have as well. and this meeting between the us president donald trump and the president of the false, of the french president, 100, excuse me, in mind with my cross. so my goal as expected to address of course natal security concerns and he will present the european piece plan for ukraine later today at the white house. you know, this meeting really a course at a, at a very critical juncture and the trans atlantic relationship. we were just talking about, did we just throw that? trump has expressed a willingness to engage directly with russians like them to put in and discuss the

grants here. so it was out of the involvement of keith or the european nations. and on top of that, you know, they're also concerns that from 6 to kind of divide your old, through these bilateral meetings of is leaders. he has already met with the polar side of state last week is meeting my call today and to schedule to meet the prisoners prime minister. so we shall see if he will be successful this, this approach. now this meeting, of course, comes a day after the results of the drum and elections, the next german john. so he's going to be facing each mats and maps us another plan to make you are more independent all through us. that's how he bought it. and he also ones united geography and support for ukraine. but is that what donald trump also want? or there's of course, uh, drums expectation is that your opinion countries will pay significantly more for

the self defense moving forward. that's something he has actually asked for. also during his 1st term and it's interesting, you know, last week he was asked in the oval office by reporters about his preference for the german elections outcome. and then he said, i quote him here, i don't care germany has to take care of itself. we have enough problems. i think this reflects his overall approach pretty much um for you to this mouth. also surprised me in a way when he just said the last night off the god he liked it. it is clear that this administration mostly doesn't care about the state of europe, so he understands very, very well what's at stake. so we shall see, told my call and from will present themselves at this press conference later today . believe it there for the moment the, the washington bureau chief municipal, thanks so much i there wasn't indeed up in use a from but in there's
