to the unique insights into a seemingly hopeless struggle, the sharp edge of peas stops much 7 dw this thursday, the news lie from berlin, a volt for change in germany's national elections. conservatively, the feverish maps is set to become the countries next john slough. off the record number of germans costs their ballots in the highest turned out to be unification. meanwhile, the source of democrats and thought of the jobs to all souls take a handling. the bill of conservatives most likely junior pock no possible coalition and the thought i'd alternative for germany, the if the set of bates gets finished in 2nd place, it has doubled a chair out of the vote since the last election and,

and now the new york and leaders are gathering in, keep there in the ukraine to mazda, fed on diversity of russia's full scale invasion and show solidarity. i mean, because of dreams and commitment from the us. the management of you're welcome joe. my name's voters, have opted for the change of government and the shift to the right with results from sundays national election now official, the conservative feverish man is forties to become the next john slot. mathis sent it. i'd see. do you see a few blocks that killed the most board spark? you imagine all those smaller than he wanted at under 30 percent. that conservatives are likely to form a coalition with the gun. and john's, the filters. social democrats who came inside the fault. i've

a if they took 2nd place, good match refuses to work with them. there's a big down the numbers for you. now. the merits, as a conservative, came out on top with 28.5 percent. the thought i'd have done it for germany, double the share of the vote to try and 2.8 percent, making them the 2nd largest positive germany's incumbent social democrats suffered at the polls. dropping over 9 percentage points to 16.4 percent. the greens felt 3 percentage points to 11.6 percent. the left body fed better than expected with 8.7 percent of the vote. the b s w, which splintered from the left bottom. the last you only took 4.97 percent just short of the 5 percent threshold needed to end up falling into the business. finally, if the be also found below the 5 percent threshold, sending it crashing out or falling on other smaller parties to get the took over 4 percent of the vote. the election outcome leaves different coalition options as to

what i've taken possibilities. but feverish mats has the optical illusion with the thought i'd a if d and that leaves a coalition with the center level, s p d, the potty of the kind of drugs, not all of charles this bedding would have only a slim majority in parliament, but it is the most likely option so do you need that for you to come that says the election has given his policy a key amended us together with yes, we do. yeah. we have a 328 out or 630 seeds. so we are able to form a coalition government been consisting let's see. do you see as u. n. d s d d, that is what we want. and this is what i found the support for doing the executive committees meeting. we go into how it talks, they have already been been prepared. we already have some preliminary talks and

we're going to have a talk with the project share off the cd. i'm going to talk to the john so that as well, so that we can plan a transition phase, a transition phase, which is going to take a couple of weeks. and 2 for the zillow to start has been following developments. we also thought about mets as likely priorities and talks on forming a coalition with the speed. that's what he says as far as use the economy. but he did get us right now to look you promise. during the election campaign that is migration and not allowing migrant to come with the name of asylum from other countries as stopping them at the board. you said that would be the entry ticket for a coalition. and he says he thinks he can achieve that with this, those democrats who are responsible for the current migration policy. so that will be an, it's an interesting one. but this could take the weeks from one major task of the next government. and of course,

be germany's relationship with the us and the trump administration. last night, matt spoke of so called independence from the us. what was his date of the press conference is absolutely and that he said he couldn't believe that he was saying something like that in the t v program that those relations could break. you also accused the united states of having in to feed in the election. see as much as russia, particularly over that speech by us, vice president j. d events. and you don't mosque was a straight out recommendation to vote for the fall, right? if the policy and i got to ask him about what his stance is towards the us as he just became elected a just one these elections, let's just take a listen to that. one on the board dropped his guns. i'm for a hotel. that message is very clear and straightforward. we are very much interested as your opinions to have

a good relationship with us and to maintain this relationship. lucy, ourselves as partners. we see the u. s. a. to investigate why they're not an important size. the heart of nato to visit d. u is also an important part of nato's. we are in a political lines. it's not just the military alliance as a political alliance as well. i see those guys are for fitness and we have so far have the same understanding of open societies recently as a market economy, democracy, tylen liberal values, and i hope we will continue to share these values and develop a relationship on that basis. mckayla, whatever that is, out of matches, overtures, germany would have to spend more on defense. know can mets as coalition that you for well, and that will be very difficult because the smaller policies uh to the right to the left fringed policies. they can block any kind of constitutional change in

parliament, and that would be required to have an extra pots of money that would be alongside that debt break in the german constitution. that too would not be easily able to be reformed. so he would need to seek a much broader kotis since he doesn't want to do that. and, and he is interestingly very vague on what acts in both of those democrats who are still in power and the cause of the city use use. you could still take the full that 1st parliament is that newly elect departments who gets together. they may want to use the old with georgie in the parliament that is still sitting so that he was very evasive on that very question. so i'm very curious to the exact details once those 2 sides of spoken really but the for the moment data, most you for the thing that then we can look at that. thanks so much. i and the big news as an as election. well, the cotton jobs, the filters, social democrats, b, s p d had it's less dissolved in the national election for more than

a century. charles has admitted defeat and were not to be bought to buy a new show for it. however, remained as the case it can be done until a new government knows all you'll just get pick bought on using are also called as get more for monica closer in buildings use an s p, the member of the german fall, a meant to welcome on ika and germany seems to have swung to the right. you are essentially a sent a left body that is going to be potentially joining a correlation that is the right of center. we. your party also have to move to the right to be an effective collision partner a good evening actually. i think the last 2 felt well over all we have seen and that's a right wing parties, have gated majorities, but we're getting into it. for example, the state that i am in berlin, we have seen a left party gaining a lot of percentage ratings, ties see in the city. so i think what we actually see of the people have been

disappointed with the government and what has been happening and that we, social democrats, we to have to look into our results. but i think one thing of clear we weren't able to get come through was our topics that are important to ask like the redistribution of wealth in this country. that's a yeah, it's a bare minimum wage that the penguins are more secure. and that is that the migration and for example, it's not only a snack, but also a value to this society that we need wordpress in this country. and that brings it to make it possible for me that this will be the integrate. you're talking about the left party winning seats. yes, the one seats, but they're not going to be forming a government. you are going to be potentially in the government, but only as a junior coalition bought. now, where does that leave you all parties, agenda. how much of it would you be able to effect if you're going to be a junior coalition partner?

well, actually, i think right now it's honestly, it was math and his conservative party to try to form a government. and i think we have democratic party. so of course we need to talk with each other, but we, a social democrats really have to look into this like, how much of our agenda are we going to be able to bring forward and such a question. and it's also, there is the responsibility of the conservative to build you bridges, because i think another bridge has happened. brands of the last few weeks by citrix math and just the agenda and the topics that she presented. i think there's not much common ground between those 2 parties right now. so, but it's not a given the i going to join this comment about the fact remains to be s p d has had it's, it's a, was a result in the more than essentially the s b d being the oldest and political party in germany. the courtney that of your party laws, king bylaws speaking earlier in the day. he said, i'd go, we would have to renew the party. how will the party to new itself?

well, i think we will have to look into why we have not the election. so i think one of the main reasons was like the redistribution of wealth, a higher income, like to raise the incomes, enough country, we have not been able to push forward and the government. and so what we need now is to analyze and which kind of government can we do that? how is it possible? who can lead our government and who can take positions falls on social democratic party. i think we need to have a change like in person like ends with our dismissal people in the 1st 1st row. but also of course, our program. we have to look into that and also how we're going to present our software as a parties. obviously we have not been successful, not can this on a chance or we have a lot of yeah, a lot of things to an hour to do. let's just to work. i'm now do this. we leave it there for the moment. i need to close out from the s p

d and just so much. thank you. the thought i'd tied to for germany meanwhile doubled it's both chad. the empty became the 2nd largest party with 20.8 percent. mocking a shift from the fringes to a major political force, but despite its gains, all the other main bodies have ruled out working with the d, it is now set to be the largest opposition policy. and the air of the school leader has him. the bodies performance inside voters want to see it become part of a new government, a v, as in by its we are prepared to take on responsibility in the chapman bosis. have voted for political change for this issue. we have a strong majority for the a f d, 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, the conservative, whether they want to deliver that. yep. so i think right now it looks like that

what happened the previous met seems to be sticking to his attitude of looking, working together with the f d, which we do not think is demographic. 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 f d positions that they co pay too long for support from hospice mice. can you please if steve was into one, gives him since and i did have a lot of different corresponding about the mall, told us that the potential of coal isn't but the source of the democrats called running to difficulties over mos migration. the if the believe that would put it in a strong position. they're counting on the government of the center, right? i sent to 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 crack 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 to come to 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 party in parliament, and they will be there influencing the, the, to be an independent stock. i'm influencing that to be in the country. i'm basically sending the message to if, assuming you doesn't solve this problem of a regular migration, we will be waiting in the wings and we will be ready to overtake you. a state of new political correspond matthew mall there. let's take a look at some munoz making headlines around the world. both frances, as all skeptics worldwide, to pray for him as a bout of pneumonia and a lung infection, which i've left him in that particular condition. the vatican saves the theater, hold onto his allowance and responsive, and it ended mos on sunday. so it,

as of industry has broken nearly to you a siege of the southeastern city of obeyed it, same as a key victory in its war against the auto sir. bottom industry grew president and so it just was seen send a breaching millions of people have been displaced by the conflict is rarely trying so started moving into the occupied best bang for the 1st time. it was 2002. the government says troops will stay there for the next year, defensive as goals, tens of thousands of palestinians, chiefly and starting as president vets, applied babylon has offered to host possible talks and ending the war in ukraine. these be meeting the russian foreign minister started getting logged on and on says on god, i would be happy to help mediate any negotiations between moscow and keith. through this theme, is it your commission president, also off on the line says ukraine could join to you in the next 5 years. if it

presses a hand with reforms she was speaking, gave on the 3rd anniversary of russia's full scale. envision around the delta meters from the us. canada have also traveled to ukraine. speed has announced 1000000000 y'all, was admitted created for the key, but the tensions of rising dipping ukraine and its biggest becka united states to when you get to that in a minute. but let's take a quick look at how russia's amazing of ukraine began, and some of the major events that have happened since then. brushes invasion again, just before 4 in the morning, on land from here. soon enough to it's for some tank starts running over the border into grades 10 days later, russian troops had reached the keeps of ups, maybe 20 kilometers, preference landscape of downtown keith. people could hear the certify the edge of the city. the rest of the troops had underestimated ukrainian resistance as of

a stretch the logistics fairly 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 with the scenes. and so we took the city month registration beginning in september, ukraine. we took thousands of square kilometers, attaching the south and east of the country where you granted going hard and fostering the previous fulton versus ami flint the slow and steady advance least of to 10 months or so called me crying to seat rush. it captured what was left of the city about much more than $60000.00 russian soldiers are estimated to being killed or wounded. taking the city of the month for speculation, months in which russia was able to build defences, lay mine fields, grain launched its long awaited counter offensive. the results were mika. ukraine was only able to shift the front line by a few 100 square kilometers. for this,

for something, no one is expected. ukrainian troops on russian soul with the front lines in the south east. well defended every mind. ukraine struck the most good is 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 supplied 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. you creating 1312000 crane civilians been confirmed killed before the 30000 injured the 2 figures i believe to be significantly high a luxury casualties because it kept under wraps on both sides of estimates. put the middle to desktops at 80000 on the crate inside, with 200001 the russian side, with many more wounded. let's get phone off from alexander share by

whose ambassador at blodgett ukraine's ministry of foreign affairs. he jones now from a key rep can miss time back to that ukraine is mocking the 3rd anniversary of the invasion today, but it's in the midst of an uncertain relationship with the united states. do you think your up can compensate for the lack of us support as well for so we're relying on you bring in people who will have strong incredible cards in these 3 years to day of the business. the main reason why russia for them to accomplish in 3 years when they were playing for 3 days, we surely rely on europe and to europe, the show on itself on from its most mobile side, really preventing of the genocide of incredible proportions in

ukraine. it will be a chapter in european history, europe, the pro, the whole. and we hope that america will stay on the live site. it's a month to switch to the dark one, because otherwise it wouldn't be the united states. that's been all right. but if america doesn't stay on ukraine's side and your past due, a step in is your up going to be sufficient to support ukraine by itself as well right now we are very practical people here. it's increasingly we know, for instance the, this one, this is war of the coming cost of drones and to 80 percent of those drones up reduced in ukraine with the bureau by default, that the, uh, support, europe supports real estate here. uh, our big worries of course, uh the uh, communications on the for on the line we are mostly relying on the store link. uh, this is american technology, and i do hold that's

a was america wouldn't pull off of the out of this. and some of the things that where europe will need to step up is able to of course, the are just sounds because the reason behind the life of my family is alive. my tom, i see it's a key. it is a life is because of the i just found the peasant provider and the whole deb, so even even america stops in europe in general. um to germany in particular will a real estate by our side. you know, let's talk about germany, germany just hand and actions in utah. it's not to be finished, man, it's one so stronger your open is in favor of continued support for your brain does keep see germany as a stable partner of the feeling about this. a collection, 1st of all are here in key. it is very positive. one we, we are incredibly grateful to jo,

money for all the health and all the refrain. kimball, slow foreign policy um, priorities. this happens over the last couple of years. but so we had a ceiling that so on the chancellor sauls know there are certain limitations to john leadership on the crane issue and to the whole that's a 3 to come out. so if he becomes the new chancellor, we'll expand the star. i sometimes we'll, we'll be of the leader was ready to make history in the time when history is made sense when, when you are a new charge of the us and russia kinda clean gauged in negotiation, sol, solved without ukraine and the you at the table. what are ukraine's options to get itself and the table? well, you prince option. so what some is to survive going to do to survive one day after times. this is what we have been doing for 3 years already. so we are until one was

a america is very mother, as long as we are assigned to be as constructive as possible answer. we have suggested this agreement about doing the exploitation of it for you, creating them national resources. so this is what we do. we remain civil, we remain constructive answers all 3 on to today uh, president of landscape. so if you have a very positive, it's a conversation with president trump. i hope this will be the starting point and leave it there for the moment. alexander shadow by and by so that law the dual credit minister of foreign affairs. thanks so much sir. thank you. meanwhile, french president emmanuel mcroy is in washington. so talks of donald trump macro joined the us president in the oval office protocol with other jew 70 does, and ukraine's president and one of the made so landscape mccauley is hoping to

persuade. come to include you out if in the doesn't peace talks with moscow, the french president has said russia as an existential trip to europe. my calls visit comes i made a growing risk between the us and europe. i also do the washington bureau chief, us for what we can expect from the meeting. it comes indeed, and also comes uh on the 3rd anniversary of russia as invasion of ukraine as 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 research have as well on this meeting between the us president donald trump and the president of the false, of the french present. 100, excuse me, mind with my cross. so mcgraw is 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, letting me approaching 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 as 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 result of the german elect and the next john john. so he's going to be think mats and maps, as they know the plan to make you are more independent of the us. that's how he bought it. and he also ones united european support for ukraine. but is that what

donald trump also wants? 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 afraid to reach mounts. also surprised me in a way when he just said uh the last night after you got elected, 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, hold my call and from we'll present themselves at this press conference later today

. believe it there for the moment. dublin washington bureau chief municipal, thanks so much i to that's it for all those. so you're watching indeed the news from berlin. i'm going to expand it to you. thanks so much for watching. news continues and 50 minutes by the
