9:05 pm
on anything else. support for the fall of rights, a f d w in this election and most of it came from the full, the east germany would think divisions remain any. so c 5, he is off to german reunification. the w use alex gas went to front foot odor on the board with poland to find out why. with this election, the far right if the has cemented its position as a force to be reckoned with. it has almost doubled its vote in 4 years. its success shown by the stock divide on this map, is down to strong support across almost all of east in germany, with its n di migrant rhetoric and talk of cruising boldest. the poppy flipped many districts from the center left to the far right. like here in the city of concord order, where people are trying to make sense of the huge a f t gains it for steve. i don't understand it. maybe it's because of my age or
9:06 pm
it's the youth. didn't they get some education at home once a housing i was showing the the super good. i don't think it's good because they have gained quite a lot. what does what it is english. it's a mystery to me. it's a problem that's who is of us where and surprised and i know i wasn't, it was quite clear if the was the only ones containing the whole time compared to the other parties on the part time says i think it's very, very good. i actually voted for the se myself and, and to be honest, all these foreigners are really annoying frank, but it just isn't what it used to be. the migrants here were reluctant to talk to us about the concerns of a drawings and a full big sentiment in the region newly elected. if the low make out, i know gala said his party had responded to vote or frustration while he said of
9:07 pm
apologies carried on pushing unpopular policies. and this is going to san francisco and we noticed more and more and campaign stands that people don't want the other parties dictating the funding of how they should think of what, how they should talk easy to what they should eat, what kind of heating system they should use because they drive costs or they want policies made by german politicians for jeremy to find the item. where did you come for adults on budget for you and i, a political scientist at the cities university. the search of the far right is just part of why the global trend products moving towards the extreme on one explanation for that as that, um, what holds the middle together? what, what did hold it together? what's the problem? so the open society of the, of the well 1st stage of capitalism being somehow tamed by social redistribution mechanism. and that problem is no longer holds true for
9:08 pm
a lot of people. as many people, i think what disappointed germany's next conservative that government needs to deliver the change. many i calling for if it wants to bring both a spec from the friend, just tell us the thoughts of the professor of political science at the free university here in berlin. welcome to the w. so we're seeing the alternative, gemini, the, a, if the double that share of the, of the most of it support coming from the former east germany. do you see that happening in the west, in areas of germany as well? in fact we do see it in western jeremy as well. i mean there are other divides that we should keep in mind here there. so urban versus rural divide and we see that the support for the the especially strong and role areas. we see that the f t pulled strongly among young men, especially young man with a rather low level. it's a form of education. so it's not only in the east west thing here. it's more the
9:09 pm
fact that this social structure of eastern society resembles these factors that i mentioned may be more close to the end up as the case all over west germany. but it wouldn't be too easy to attribute to the success of the f t just to east germany. they have very strong results in some parts of west, in germany as well. mm hm. the a if these focus is migration. so do you, would you say that the german electorate is heartening? it's attitudes towards migration. well, actually there are some longer tutoring studies that show that the attitudes, per se, a pretty stable over the course. let's say for the last 10 years. but what have changed is the salience off the topic, the savings of migration. and along with this change of a salience, we see that the a of the benefits from that if the campaign, if the agenda is dominated by migration as an issue, that kind of activates a competent attributes in some people's minds that are then actually linked to the
9:10 pm
f d, so i would say it's not so much the positions that have changed, but really the importance of the issue and along with this importance, the f. d benefits from that because a lot of voters actually see the parties competent when it comes to crescent of migration. the f d was able to mobilize supports from almost 2000000 people who didn't vote in the last election. how do you think they tapped into these versus as well turn out generally has increased significantly. we have seen a turn out right of more than 80 percent. we haven't seen that for quite a while. so all the parties actually managed to mobilize voters, but it's true that populace folders this is true for the f d, but also on the left hand side for the b s w, the solve argona. they are especially successful in mobilizing for him or non voters. apparently the other parties do not really reach them in the same way. they do not really communicate with them the in the same way that is successful in the
9:11 pm
way that people feel seen. that's kind of the reason of success for these populace parties. they, they kind of give a feeling to voters that they really care about them, that they see them that they respect them. and apparently that's mobilize those, these forming on voters to actually turn out to vote. at least they have done so in this direction on sunday. mm hm. one surprise in this selection was the upton in support for the left policy of the socialist left? what do you think is driving that? well those who maybe are has become much more wallets, heartland, so whatever party managers to run the a good successful campaign also fair as much better on election day. and what the, what the left party really has achieved is a very targeted campaign. they have one front runner that's very, very successful on social, meet you, especially in take talk. they have a huge door to door campaign that they're in, but they also have some 8 or candidates that will target rather older parts of the
9:12 pm
electorate. so really, the campaign managed to target the very different segments of the electorate in a very successful way. and there was a lot of momentum in the closing of the campaign. so the party actually doubled its share when we looked at the poles from 3 or 4 percent and now to almost 9 percent. so clearly a successful good campaign that there ran in very different forms and very different modes. so overall, the targeted campaign, the turn out to be very successful as tustin fast from the free university of the lane. well, and we'll have to leave it the other. thank you so much for your time. you're welcome. the us president donald trump. i'm the french president, and many other my call have been holding talks out the white house joining all the g 7 leaders on a video. cool. trump said they all want to cnn to the role in ukraine. present nicole said fronds aims to build a long lasting piece um, but europe is ready to be a stronger partner to the us and to step up on defense
9:13 pm
a short time ago. trump said that was progress towards ending the slicing in ukraine. this very day is the 3rd anniversary of the invasion of ukraine, which would never have happened to vice president that was not going to happen so far. as of this gruesome and bloody war can scarcely be overestimated. hundreds of thousands of people, russians and ukrainians. in particular have needlessly died and i've spoken with both president potent and president zalinski. and again, a lot of a lot of good things toward peace are happening. moving in, i think, pretty quickly. i'll stay toby's washington bureau chief and as for what kind of welcome president my call received at the white house of the he did indeed the 2 presidents just search together and the oval office rides here behind me and
9:14 pm
the talks apparently are really friendly. they underlined the importance of the friendship from both countries and told each other how important they offered to 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 rear 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 that so that's going to be definitely a discussion point we will hear more about, but overall yes indeed, it was friendly, warm and present. mccall 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 the domain is washington peer and she's now, 3 years ago today, russia launched its full scale invasion of ukraine. the attack was unprovoked and
9:15 pm
widely condemned as an act of aggression. good money. on february, the 24th 2022 explosions. rock cities across ukraine. russian forces across the borders from the north. the south on the east ukrainian troops mounted fis resistance repelling and attack near the capital. in the following weeks, russian soldiers advanced towards keep the safe for the setbacks from resistance. logistical site is by late march, they withdrew from the north, but as ukrainian forces reclaimed territory. they uncovered evidence of a massacre in boucher des, rebecca versus reports from the town where she met a group of survivors. of course they call themselves the witches of boucher an unofficial monica of knowns, to a mystic sisterhood. lucia because we are working in the boot chomsky districts,
9:16 pm
which is because old women which is these women a part of a nearly all female volunteers, a defense unit trying to shoot down russian drones in the suburbs with a live suburbs of boucher and our pain on the outskirts of keys, these areas will unknown to most outside ukraine before the war, but an al, synonymous with some of the worst atrocities committed by russian troops in the days of the invasion. the women of this unit lives through it and suffice. uh, but it was injured should during the occupation of buffalo city. so that's as i saw, all these terrible events familiar with the sources. and so i decided that i had to be useful to booth or do something, don't worry about us. and so i joined the food to unit her gra, hides her face. her husband is still in russian captivity. because in those nice to
9:17 pm
each of us here has experience something in our lives that she was number or something that the war took from us. something that cannot be forgiven for me, that's why this united so, so a lot of the training ground, tatiana wilkes's, through those terrifying days in 2022 russian soldiers stormed into a pain in like february on their way to take keys and put them all in the system, this is way the 1st bass will began to disappear. this is after they brought the column or something, the shopping seemed to look like this. you can see it clearly here, here to do that. so i don't know how to check out this building has been the seats of the russians. techy on his brother, a police officer helped bring in supplies. the husband, alexander, enlisted as part of the local territorial defense and the zip. and these are
9:18 pm
residents of the city of f and 2 chairs, cont, ordinary reasons, not military. you. but these of volunteers who took up on the 1st day of the full scale invasion and stood up to defend keith and ukraine. and general fitz yana and her children hate in a nearby bomb shelter with thousands of their neighbors. as the fighting raged above ground, i was told that i was hoping to follow up with the yellow gashes, which will be it was my husband's train. he helped the field is special to he was one of the fish guys who made the russians on the approach of to move in a week of fighting on exam the made it back to the bomb shelter to beg them to leave it. then he said, john, yet please let us take the children away because i see that i don't want to, i won't go without you. he replied, you and i have different tasks. your task is the same as the children and protect them. my job is to protect the city. those were his last words to include which
9:19 pm
i've never paid so much in my life. pres went on onset, though tatiana made it out of the country with her children, and her husband was killed defending that home. it's almost a little to me. that's where my house stood to 3 years later, she still carries reminders of that loss actually because this is one of those all as well. this is all i have left, but let the salt trips, millet tree badges, and the very fragment that killed him like this with the you know, it somehow gives me strength. there are a moments when you give up and things that said i can't do it anymore. and then i look at those fragments and i think no, i can still do in. so instead of grieving alone, tatiana has chosen active resistance will work and war time we will change. we're trying to adapt to the realities of life. and the realities out that we have over
9:20 pm
one, that's why we take our pounds tiana and others in her unit survival has managed, adapting to any reality. one where they've had to take on roles. they never imagined about us to have nicole just so now i'm among people who understand me to whom i understand who have the same motivation estimate to watch a young man that's of the customer. let's say you store in the sky like it, but this that's why we have which is all we flying we, we sold the moment but we protect and was like a shy of protecting, not only the country but also each other. yeah, i've brought this, i have lost my entire family and i have no and lifting ukraine glee up was when i came here, i found my family. for me, this is really very important because it wasn't because the person cannot exist alone. what or not it
9:21 pm
doesn't lead us from europe and canada traveled to you trying to mock the 3rd anniversary of russia's full scale invasion. i'll c. w. correspond to nick connelly, his in key. what the latest president for lensky had decided out the summit and keith the whole state, they come to a great deal about nature 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 e. i think that was 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 of cms 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 guarantee, but it is a kind of economic and social perspective. something for people to think about. and
9:22 pm
now, you know, that's the kind of long to protect. so now that somebody's going to see how donald trump and folding zalesky get on, we've just had in the last half hour. so adult trump saying that he's expectancy and meet for 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 uh, 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 ukraine, according to the latest and today is on its way to europe. as an economy are pushing from cape now. maria up diva is with the think tank of foreign policy research institution aisles to whether moves to end the war or making any difference 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 region. and they say,
9:23 pm
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 the real 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 protecting and defend, and not 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 attacking ukraine like every night here in kia, a hundreds of drawings are being launched and the frame and air defense is shutting
9:24 pm
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 would deal with just to produce more web funds. and ukraine, in fact increase that they produce and also 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,
9:25 pm
but this will happen as we have codes on list a off to, to 1000 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 that the rush. i will 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 they're also located in the east to
9:26 pm
a few grain in the areas which are currently basically constantly said 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 attracted by russia or russian or will be trying to, well if you buy them, because this month rationalize russian strategy is to occupies more ukraine on territory and will it, uh no, uh, bring they more military aid from the us to defend at least this investment and all of this, we will hear a previous student because the reports are that these deals will be made very soon on president savanski also have said that that they are going to uh and now instead of in the, in the upcoming days or really is a reminder of our top story today versus in germany have opted for change.
9:27 pm
9:28 pm
9:29 pm
the bucks me will tell you. happy that way of boxing. the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use the dream force and the present feelings about what's going on in the story. instead of being discussed across the continent, de leon, news africa every friday on the w. hey, you welcome to the w to our 10 picks writing news on this stuff. and in this story, it's still just to take away the what's the discovery fascinating
9:30 pm
cases to great ideas concerning countries get in the the man who's likely to be the next leader of germany says donald trump does not care about europe. literally from mounts, just one. germany's election and is making it clear, he thinks europe must boost its defenses and perhaps even find a replacement for nato. this could be a defining moment for europe, which is dependent on the us for its security since 1945 is germany turning against the united states. i my new groups mckinnon and this is the day
