make sure you miss nothing about is on the w title. i hope you enjoy the trip here as much as i did about you. what's your opinion? feel free to write your thoughts and the comments. the . this is the, the news live from berlin to man set to become germany's next chancellor gets down to forming a government's conservative lead a free bridge mass has a clear mandate for will. he's the i with his most likely coalition partners. also coming up us president donald trump says the us is making progress toward peace and ukraine. the russia will accept your p and peacekeepers. will hear more from his remarks the . i'm assuming there's the in berlin, welcome to our show. the results from federal elections in germany are now official,

with a conservative a freezers mass points to become the next chancellor. is c d, u. c. s u block is set to meet a future government. most likely, in partnership with social democrats, who led the previous administration of the far right alternative for germany, came in 2nd. but they also said that he won't work with them. let's have a look at the numbers matches conservatives, as mentioned, came out on top. the a f d doubled their share of the vote, making them the 2nd largest party in the bonus tag. and the one with the most momentum shots, the social democrats suffered their worst defeat and over a century the greens also did badly while the left party fared much better than expected. the b s. w, which splintered from the left last year, failed to make the important 5 percent threshold necessary to enter parliament. and the same is true of a liberal f t p, which was also part of the pass government. as a free bush,

matt says that he wants to get to work right away, arguing that quote, the world won't wait for germany to set up a new government. but even if he's able to quickly form a governing coalition, his partners might make it difficult for him to fulfill some of his campaign promises. freebies, you may have promised this change is on the way. but you need to form a government 1st and the available populace. half beckett's, the biggest majority would be a coalition with the file, right? a if the alternative for gemini, which came in seconds. but that's a red line map says he won't cross you. most of these are we must have privacy. i asked him, it's breeding ground was vital and i'm not interested in solutions lose on it because he, it not, sol says a of the cold leader at least vital running on an anti migration platform. the pots you manage to double it support since the last election mandates the f. b is ready to flex. it isn't,

but we are prepared to take responsibility. the name and the voters want a sensor, right? government editors ultimately up to the cd use. yes. you whether they want to implement this with the a if the on the wrong side of the firewall freely smith will have to look elsewhere . it won't be the business front. the ftp who got kicked out of the boat 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 souls, which took a beating from voltage losing nearly 10 percent of its support. salts already announced that he will not be part of any new government after this electoral defeat, but his policy says it's open to negotiations with the conservatives and provides because we are prepared to hold silks for the bowl is in friedrich mats is cool, and then the close of the tools will decide whether a government is full time to count 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 fixed and yet we had 16 years of a grand total ation. that's what i grew up with. so yeah, yeah. i don't think anything will change significantly most imposing days. we don't let putting in trunk get the better of us in math, run on the promise to reinvigorate european leadership, fix the economy and reform migration. but gaming a government's pipeline is the 1st total he has to overcome before he can deliver on any thing. let's get more from the political correspondent, hands brunt hands, coalition talks or about to begin here in berlin. how different is this likely next german government going to look from the outgoing one. fact, you have to say that's the sort of informal coalition toast context. phone calls that sort of thing has been going on for quite a are ready for a couple of days,

at least, i think. and the 1st acknowledge the meeting between a mouse and the current charges to the off schultz is likely to take place on tuesday. we have of course there will be a lots of different sizes. the 1st of those is off shots himself. his party is still going to be part very likely of a new government, but he himself has said he will not take any leadership position in the new government. he will remain in parliament as a back venture. but basically he will disappear from public view and that's the same goes for his current vice johnson, the from the green party robot hall back. he's also said he will remain in parliament as a back venture. and of course a 3rd mendoza, carolyn government to the free democrats, the market liberals. natalie, the christian link that has said since this policy is not going to be in problem, and he's going to need politics completely. so on that side, on the side of the social democrats, new faces, new people will have to be found that will take some time on the part of the social

democrats that really have to be organized themselves. and obviously also within the conservatives, they're also going to have to find what people are going to represent them. it's going to take quite a bit of time quite a bit of doing and a lot of info toasts before the actual form of the negotiation stopped. the alternative for germany the far right a f d as often known was one of the big winters of election night. yet it won't be in the government. how disruptive can it be for the opposition? that's being very disruptive and paul them and ever since the end of the problem with now they're going to have twice as many representatives in parliament. and they're going to be the biggest opposition within parliament that gives them extra rights and terms of parliamentary procedure more time to talk more influence on searching. the agenda will influence in various committees and they've already said they're going to use whatever they can to put us about in the workspace it to make it difficult for the governments to govern. i've already been very real cause in

parliament, very awesome. that's likely to increase, they will be slightly balance, i think by the fact that the greens are not going to be in opposition. again, they will probably be more of a moderating voice. and then we have a pretty strong representation from the last part of the fall. this to they to will probably process is stick to parliamentary procedures with all of necessarily causing destruction. but the f d i, i'm sure is going to be a very prominent feature. a problem mentioned procedures from now on the presumed next chancellor leaders, matt says that he wants to get started as soon as possible, get things rolling. there's a lot to do. how realistic is that given how long coalition talks often take well after them and the best we can expect is that we will have a new government to neutrons to that. and by east of that, as in 2 months time, that including according to the german time table would be pretty quick because of

all these negotiations that have to go on. that is this tradition in german coalition and negotiations to have contracts with lots of different clauses. a very, very detailed negotiations. i think this time wrong. they're going to try and restrict themselves to top headings on which they want to agree. what the kind of goals that they want to set for themselves, not maps has been saying that's on the 1st day that he has transferred, he wants to get going in a similar way to donald trump or something like that. that's what even possible in the german system. so i think we have to say this is going to take time, even though everybody feels time pressure and pressure also of the political realities around germany and especially in europe and internationally. but this kind of, netscape going immediately, might be putting pressure on everybody, but we need to take some, some time. so things to get settled. all right,

a political correspondence. hundreds, broad. thank you very much. i to us now we're present. donald trump has said he believes that russian president vladimir putin is ready to accept your p and peacekeepers in ukraine. trump and french president, manuel nicole and held talks with the white house on monday. the costs of friends aims to build a long lasting peace that europe is ready to be a stronger partner to the us. and to step up on defense. trump said there was progress towards ending the fighting in ukraine cars, if 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 and i think pretty quickly and i know the next steps you'll have to do supposedly ended up in the us of the

wire to the i don't, the layers are busy. there's a couple of other leech and didn't want this one because this piece must not be in and besides render, oh, got one crane and must not certain that these one without guarantee condition. so linfield a lag in the new software to keep the, the frame technician will ship it to other stakeholder one a. all right, let's go to benjamin offers. group are standing by in washington, but you mean trump said that he believes truth and is interested in peace. that's an assertion that most european leaders would likely disagree with. what more did trump say about us russia talks? so president trump once again avoided, criticizing that he may have putting so quite a difference to the comments from crohn who sat is this trust of the rush? indeed, he said that he was having talks with him, but that ended with the massacre of bush. trump repeatedly said that the focus of the united states now is to a chief,

a ceasefire as soon as possible and ultimately a permanent piece. he also said that ukrainian presidents and landscape to travel to washington this week, or next one to seal this minerals agreement that he called very close it. trump stopped short of saying, however, that disagreement would contain explicit u. s. security guarantees that ukraine has been asking for the minerals agreement, a condition put on us, put body us on ukraine for peace. still. benjamin trump said that putting would be fine with having european peacekeepers on the ground in ukraine. do we know what he has in mind? it's not clear what exactly how this would look like. my crohn said that europe was prepared to provide security guarantees to ukraine. the french president spoke about peace keepers in the event of a ceasefire. and trump said that it, washington is backing this idea and that putting would accept it even though the

russian president and senior russian officials had previously indicated that they would not accept any west and forces in ukraine. but it remains to be seen one. how old is your opinion missing what actually look like under which mandate it would work because only a few european vetoes have opened up to the possibility of actually sending boots on the ground. so it's not quite clear what the us president meant by that saying that putting would also agree to that idea of this meeting between trumping mccaul and seemed very cordial. even friendly between the 2 leaders. can we say whether they're on the same page when it comes to your role in ukraine? i'd say friend to the best um, there was this the scene of the year in the oval office. it was quite a remarkable with micro, on fact tech trump and how much europe is spending it for a ukraine. it was very interesting seeing this dynamic of both of the leaders in the, the east room. we were also there because they showed a friendly, you know,

relationship based on years of good times. they also spoke about the reconstruction of the cathedral of the not true dumb cathedral in paris. where at the french president invited donald trump and where they also had a meeting with ukrainian presidency. lensky when trump was still the president elect. so they showed that there was some friendship and also the word. so background in a very, very polite way, but also made clear where he disagrees with trump on some really key issues regarding the war and ukraine. and these key issues couldn't, has been clear a today on the 3rd anniversary of russia's invasion of a ukraine. they have been many discussions in new york and both countries. france and the united states square and locker heads over resolutions describing russia as the aggressor in a they will, we've seen quite a shift from the white house on that, on the 2nd, on invest through a, for us as an invasion of ukraine to exactly one year ago the u. s. u n mission

spoke about russia and i quote, a legal unprovoked and brutal full scale invasion of ukraine today. they only called it an escalation of the russia ukraine was quite a change in position that has led to a lot of criticism, right. dw correspondent benjamin alvarez goober in washington on those talks between trump and the call and thank you. let's have a look now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world. thirty's, president, aggressive type air. the one has offered to host possible talks on indian war and ukraine has been meeting the russian foreign ministers are good law profit, and we'll see. 3rd one says on grow would be happy to help negate any negotiations between moscow and keith. the ball. so been human just mentioned us, but the united nations general assembly has rejected the us resolution urging and ends of the war and ukraine without mentioning moscow's, the aggression of delegates amended the draft to make it clear that russia in ukraine, the 2nd version passed by a wide margin,

students military is broken in nearly 2 years. siege of the south eastern city of obeyed. it seemed as a key victory and its war against the r. as a parent military group, residents and soldiers were seen celebrating. millions of people have been displaced by the conflict. right? that's the, not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand. this is the day i'm in current use events analyzed by experts and critical thing here. this is with the weekdays on dw, your update innovations green the green revolution.
