no one should have to make up your own mind. dw may full mines the. this is the w news life from the land. germany is like say new trucks like gets down to the business of forming a government. like matt says, the world was white, but it is not clear what his probable coalition partners will allow him to fulfill all of his campaign promises. also, coming up on the program, 3 is off to russian, launched its full scale invasion of ukraine. european leaders gather in keys and a show of support. that's us takes us off to line on russia. and the french president, tim, i knew in my car, arrives at the white house where he's hoping for strong us involvement in tools to end the war and ukraine, the

manuscripts mccain. and welcome to the program. germany has voted for a change of government and a shift to the right with the results from sundays national election. now official, the conservatives legally finance is supposed to become the next john. so his cd, you see a few block is set to lead a few to government, probably in partnership with the social democrats who let the previous administration the far right alternative. germany policy came in seconds that mounts says that he will not work with them. let's take a look at the numbers. mounts has conservatives came out on top, the a f d actually double the share of the vote that makes them the 2nd largest policy will afford it says social democrats suffered that was to seats in over a century. the great in policy also did badly. the left policy said best has

unexpected. the b s w, which splintered from the left last year fails to make the 5 percent threshold needed to end solomon. and it was the same for the liberal s d p. and we can have a look now at how those results translate into seats for each policy in germany's parliament, the city you will now be the biggest policy in the book, this talk and the parliament with 208 out of the total number of $600.00 and c seats. the social democrats currently still, the governing policy will now have a $120.00 seats on the green policy, $85.00 seats. the far right alternative for germany policy. now the 2nd largest in parliament will have a 152 seats. the left policy takes 64 seats now literally mount says, but he wants to get to work right away. he's saying the world would wait for us.

but even if he is able to quickly form a governing coalition, his partners might make it difficult for him to fulfill some of his campaign promises fits each may have promises. change is on the way, but you need to form a government 1st and the available populace half baggage. the biggest majority would be a coalition with the fall, right? a if the alternative for germany, which came in seconds. but that's a red line map says he won't across most of these up, we must deprive david's breeding ground despite all and go, i'm not interested in solutions, lose on it because he is not sole, says a of d co leader, at least vital running on an anti migration platform, the pots you manage to double it support since the last election mandates the a if the is ready to flex. it isn't, but we are prepared to take responsibility, neiman, develop, the voters, want a sensor, right?

government. and it's ultimately up to the sea to use. yes. you whether they want to implement their system with the a fee on the wrong side of the firewall, freely smith will have to look at as well. it won't be the business, frankly. ftp, who got kicked out of the book in the stock altogether, and it probably won't be the green party as this would not deliver the necessary majority. that only leaves the center left s p d as a realistic option. the poverty of current chance, low enough thoughts which took a beating from voters, losing nearly 10 percent of its support. salts already announced that he will not be part of any new governments after this electoral defeats. but his policy says it's open to negotiations with the conservatives and provides cuz we are prepared to hold tullocks for the bull is in favors mathis course. and then the course of the tools will decide whether a government is built on the call and votes of seeing a cd. you'll see as you and s p d correlation many times before. it's even got

a nickname, a grams coalition. but for many, the prospect doesn't exactly. eros enthusiasm, i have gotten vista now. we had 16 years of a grand coalition. that's what i grew up with. so yeah, yeah. solving these, i don't think anything will change significantly most imposing days. we don't let putting in trunk get the best robots and math run on the promise to reinvigorate european leadership. 6, the economy and reform migration. but gaming a government's pipeline is the 1st total he has to overcome before he can deliver on anything. all right, let's get more from the ws political correspondent, hands on. so on switch, we're hearing that these coalition talks, they're gonna start, they want to happen, the thing that they want to get them done. faust, a total source of what about what germany's next government like might look like. in fact, uh, is it curtis some folks, even though they haven't started formally that has been informal contact from the background for several days already. even probably before the election results were

known as a people already sending out that feelers to see what issues might be controversial, what people might be involved, that sort of thing. and people that i think is an important thing to talk about here. we know that all the 3 major presentations from the previous coalition government will no longer play a particular role. well, off shots the chancellor is going to become a normal back venture and call them and he'll stay in parliament. but he's not going to say anything ro anywhere in the next to a few years. the same goes for the green lead robot hob back. he's also going to be a simple doc venture and the leader of the vice chunk. let us try so that has been just of the economics minister and the lead of the freedom across the new is the market liberals and they are out of parliament and he's just send the finishing is for the type of career. so especially on the side of the social democrats who are very likely to be going into condition talks with the conservatives that are going

to need to appoint people to do this at new people, new faces, they're going to have to really scramble to find those people that decide who is actually going to play, what role in the apology and then you've got them. mm hm. so the new government is likely going to be a c, d, u. s p d coalition. they will have an opposition. so talk to us a little bit about the position that this new government is likely to face. yes, the problem and obviously is going to be re constituted. and the major feature of that is that the fall right? alternative for germany after you have doubled the number of people that they will have him call them and they are, will be the largest opposition party in problem and that have already in the past few years. been very disruptive impala and with a raw, the few numbers of members that they had there. and they've already announced that they will, to whatever they can to make the governing difficult for the coming income and

government. and they will have quite a lot more influence. and problem and not only through the role christmas of the numbers of people that they can deploy and pause and then but also because they will be entitled to, to something like championships of various committees, possibly to some leading functions within a problem entry organization. and so on, and they would use all those positions to try and put spanners in the work. and on the other hand, we have the greens in opposition who are being part of government until now that probably will have some sort of moderating influence. and then we have on the far left the left party who have said that they will see themselves as guardians of a social reform of the interest of the poor people. so opposition is going to be quite severe. i think for the new government, it's not going to have an easy time. it's going to come out to saying though, that he needs to get this new government up and working as soon as it's possible needs to start making things happen. how realistic is it that these coalition tools

can happen quickly? and the, we do see a new government foss, there is, i think, a child that was talking about east. in other words, in about 2 months time, i think that is quite a good shot. is that that kind of time schedule could be kept for german coalition discussions. that's pretty quick. i know, and i think they've all been saying that they will no longer have the kind of coalition contract where you have dozens of different contractual, the stipulations that people have to stick to. they want to have an agreement that is more on the level of the general pains for this government. but if not, says that the day after he has become tron so that he will stop to doing all sorts of things from day one and the some of them. i know that to donald trump has done that's already possible in jim, in politics. even once he takes paula, as it works, it will take some time to get things going. so we have to, i think,

prepared here for a transition period that goes well in 2 months, due to the political correspondent fund punch. thank you so much. all right, let's take a look now at some of the other stories and making headlines around the world and see don's military has broken and nearly 2 years siege of the se in city of ovide, it's seen as a key victory, and it's war against they are a south power military group, residents and soldiers was seen celebrating. millions of people have been displaced by the conflicts. european union has the small sanctions on syria following the ousting of the outside regime in december. the block is suspended restrictions on energy trade transport on banking. the wants to help syria rebuild following so the scene is a civil war. the a talk he's president, friendship type at one has also to host possible tools on ending the war and you cry and he's been missing with the russian foreign minister. so guy, liberals,

other one says i'm for would be happy to help media in any negotiations between moscow and keith. who does the united nations general assembly rejected a u. s. resolution judging an end to the war and ukraine without mentioning, most goes aggression. delegates amended the girls to make it clear that russia invaded you prayed. that 2nd session then paused by a wide margin. donald trump, the front president to manually my call has been holding towards the white house joining of the g 7 leaders on the video. cool. trump, so they will want to cnn to the war in ukraine, and present my call said fronts aims to build a long last in peace, and that your is ready to be a strong department to the us. and to step up on defense, nicole and trump spoken the oval office about trumpet last week corporation. president mcloud is very special man in my book together to get

a lot of progress has been made. we've had some very good jobs with russia. we've had some very good thoughts with others and to try to get the war ended with russia and ukraine. and i think we've come a long way and sure the president's been very helpful to us, or all of my ability to say this erupt. he's, he's willing to step up to be the father to do more in defense and security thoughts, continents. and we can get more from dw is washington bureau chief in this port. and if it looks like the french president received quite a while, come at the white house, is that right? he did. indeed. the 2 presidents just search together in the oval of the slides here behind me in the talks, apparently the really frenzy they underlined the importance of the friendship from both countries and told each other how important they offer each other. however,

there were apparently some little disagreements when they had a brief press conference in the oval office about the question, how much money ukraine owes the united states. donald trump, of course, once these rare of these minerals because he thinks it's payback time for ukraine, ukraine has a different statement, but in my call said, you know, the figures you're putting out to you donald trump, the far too high the so that's gonna be definitely a discussion point we will hear more about, but overall yes indeed, it was friendly, warm, and present. my call underlined also the billing this of the european countries to pay more money. not only for nato, but also to step in to help you create and what to jump say about the tools that have been happening between the us and russia and ukraine. while he said that the coming came a long way, um the peace deal is close to and you know, and you know, we have to keep in mind. donald trump problem is the june the come paying the t

will and the war and ukraine on his 1st day in the office. this obviously is not going to happen. it will take probably weeks, if not months for a piece to deal to become true. but just a, the goal shay to negotiations are intense. not only between gerald and donald trump also between russia and donald trump. and we are just hearing that it is very likely that the lens key will be invited to the white house in the next days. so there is a lot of movement going on and it might really comes down to this mineral deal because this is something donald trump is really focused on. and what else to trump say about rusher and this makes things of the well, he always says that he comes along very well with poor tune. but you know, i know it's interesting mccomb before he came here he said that he tries to make it

clear to donald trump, that if he's not playing the strong man towards putting that this might backfire when it comes to negotiations with she. she pain, you've a chinese leader. so it's kind of trying to convince donald trump not to be too easily played by, of like him. you're pointing, there will be a press conference with both of them and just a couple of minutes or maybe in the hour or so. it's always hard to say because the time is very unpredictable here at the white house, but i'm sure they will be asked about that. and i'm sure that we will have a lot to report on later to the end in this. thank you so much for that. update, that's the don't use washington bureau chase and it's pools of the european commission president of the funded lions says that ukraine could join the european union in the next 5 years. is it presses a head with reforms? she was speaking in keith on the southern and the 3 of russia's full scale invasion

around a 1000 leaders from the new um, canada. also travel to train. spain has announced a 1000000000 euros and military aid fatigues. but tensions are rising between that ukraine and the us. it's biggest dr. let's take a look back at how it rushes invasion of ukraine began and some of the major events that have happened since then. us brushes invasion again just before 4 in the morning. i'm glad from the soon afterwards for some tank started running over the boat in t grade. 10 days later, russian troops had reached the keeps of, of very 20 kilometers landscape of downtown keith. people could hear the out to the re fi. the edge of the city versus the troops had underestimated ukrainian resistance passive to stretch the logistics. via april. ukraine had pushed crescent

troops out of the key region as they did so. they came across the 1st evidence of personal trustees like here and put you these with the scenes. and so you create new troops. we took the city month registration, beginning and 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 votes him versus all me, went for slow. instead, he advised me, least of to 10 months or so called me, cried the seat, rushing, captive. 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 it along the way to the counter offensive. the results when mika ukraine was already 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 and east well defended every mind. ukraine struck the most of the least expecting it in a couple of days. ukraine to take him to town a suggest surrounding villages. in january 2025, ukraine stepped up its long range groan 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 invasion of ukraine, which is the 3rd anniversary. rush the controls about 20 percent ukrainian territory. 12000 credit 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 ministry desktops at 80000 on the crate inside the 200001 the russian side, with many mobile w corresponding that commonly falls out reports. and

i often, what year a pain leaders i'm president zalinski had discussed on the slide, is the summit today in t, as well as the they can't do a great deal about nato without donald trump coming on side. so that kind of secures component the ukrainians would want so daily is basically on ice. we don't know if indefinitely or not, but for now, as you just mentioned it in the show about the you, i think that was a really kind of important intervention. requiring perspective joining the you normally something it can take years and years. so the idea that this is going to be potentially done in the space of 5 years, or even though the ascent can be present on the line. if you can, keeps up the pace of reforms that it has already even during war time, that is something that i think most people will be very happy to hear. it doesn't provide them. security is not the same security guarantees, but it is a kind of economic and social perspective. something for people to think about. and now, you know, that's the kind of long it protects me now. next couple weeks, going to see how little trump and buildings. let's get on. we've just started in

the last half hour, so adult trump saying that he's expectancy and meet. so let's get in person in the next week or 2 to sign this minerals deal. it's being very contentious stream, ukraine and the us the volume is and it's keeping very vocal that you wouldn't sign anything that he says will take you crane hundreds of years to pay off. so lots of kind of dramatic fi works expected. but the big picture, at least with europe, is that the grain, according to the latest and today, is on its way to europe. let's make connelly reporting from k now. maria of div up diva, is with the foreign policy research institute st time coast. but for the air in aust, whether moves to end the war or making any difference at all on the battlefield. so you know that the real fighting is happening in ukraine and i've just yesterday have been the media in the ukraine now. soldiers to create another artillery unit in harkey regions, and they say we don't feel any negotiations or in this in happening because what we

feel are a constant russian ethics. and what we know is how we have to refile them and keep our positions so that the russians will not be able to move toward their. and the only thing they, they were in a really need off is more munition and more to lose cells. because this allows them to keep their position. and i think this is what the most important so that everyone realizes that this is a brand new, an army brand new soldiers who are now protect and defend, and not the only ukraine, but you are up from the russian aggression. and everyone needs to do very quickly us as much as possible so that ukraine can continue to keep in keeping up the trunk line. because while russia is taking time for negotiations and using this time, they keep on pushing and they keep on taking ukraine like every night here in kia, a hundreds of drawings are being launched and the frame and air defense is shutting

them down. so all of these needs lots of resources. so lots of military resource system. this is what is the most critical for ukraine at the moment? well, european leaders of course, are in, in key right now. they say they want to provide more support for ukraine. do we know what that might look like as well? they were talking a lot about the support in the ukraine landscape for deal is just to produce more web funds and you bring in facts increase that they produce in office own reference to the 3 years of the war. just amazingly. but this is, of course not enough ukraine alone will not be able even with the support was the reference to defend against russia because to green, all most important and needs of critical security guarantees. and this is what we did not hear. unfortunately, today from european we just, yes, do you membership might be something that we'll be as a guarantee, but this will happen as we have codes on list a offset. 2000 in 2000 is 13 here,

but you probably need some guarantees right now. and this is what you create into asking our partners about what we will guarantee is that the rush of or not it's a, again, was a more grace or power. is it more developed military capabilities? the us and ukraine has been going back and forth on this minerals deal. the details are on clear, but i mean, you mentioned the need for security guarantees. there was suggestions, the security guarantees for ukraine might be included. i mean, do we know what this deal could means? the ukraine as well? unfortunately not, no, like details has been reported yet, but president jalencia made it clear that security guarantees must be in that deal and x. so a lot of this mean there are also allocated in the east to a few grades in the areas which are currently

a basically constantly attended by russia or even are in the territory of $25.00 by russia. and this is a good question. rather, u. s. companies will actually invest money in the areas which will be later, either attacked by russia or russian or will bits, ryan, to once you buy them because this month rationalize russian strategy is to occupies more ukraine on territory and will it, uh no or bring they more military aid from the us to defend at least this investment and all of this we will here pretty soon because the reports are that these deals will be my very so when i'm president savanski also have said that that they are going to, uh and now instead of in the, in the upcoming days or in the us has said the both sides, ukraine on russia. we'll have to make concessions in order to reach an agreement. what kind of concessions would ukraine be willing to make?

so i would not what i would need to call a concession, strongly ukraine down side, because here we are not speaking about 2 parts and s p or we are speaking about the aggressor states and russia. is there a dresser space and countries that this quite constantly under russian effects and by russia inmate, and the equally talked about like what ukraine i'm talking, position is our position in the negotiations. ukraine has already said that we are ready to diplomatically and the war and your brain at the moment does not have military capabilities through the few fly territories currently occupied by russia . we will never meet this territory as, as russian central. but at the moment, we will not, we are not able to return them. the time will come when you brand will be more prepared to get more wrapped funds and a more capabilities and to retake back the best territories. but the time being,

the diplomatic means is what ukraine has and what you can propose as a and this is, i think, a very big step to over the course of both do you reach will and the war. maria of the, the, from the foreign policy research institute. think tank, maria, thank you so much for joining us. thank you. and here's a reminder for you of our top stories out of this. our faces in germany have opted for change. the concert conservative leaders like maps as boys to become the next counsellor is c d u. c su alliance to just on that 30 percent of the vote. and the trump and the french president, the manual. my call have been holding torques at the white house. joining other g 7 leaders on a video called trump said they will want to see an end to the in ukraine. and with that you are up to date. thanks so much for watching the news. i'll be
