because. the government knows what they do and they do nothing. but covering the german federal elections that. is expected when a forthright chancellor but it's not considered to be the big winner in this election. i.

have a journey party celebrating victory it's the first time they've been elected to the dog but the been protesters against success rolling across the country against the right wing party games. and among the other headline stories on our tea with me human rights watch accuses the united states led coalition of killing at least eighty four civilians including thirty children and strikes me as serious rock back in. there it's monday midday here in moscow on call in braille happy news a little bit later on but first the focus is of course on germany to what is a bittersweet election victory for the german chancellor with reduced oath already now and also surging right wing to cope with life to berlin on the river side for the results and the reaction so far.

very good morning to you and welcome to our purposeful studio here on the banks of the river spray and let's bring it up to date with what happened yesterday evening and overnight the counts completed anglo-american has secured afford to miss the german chancellor no surprise about a christian democrat party gaining the most votes but this is the key thing a lot less folks than the party was expecting and less than they were hoping for also doing badly the social democrats it's been described as a crushing election defeat for them overly twenty percent of the vote going to the party the worst is over then since the second world war but for the right wing euro skeptics will turn to for germany party this election is considered a major breakthrough for the first time they have gained the votes to put them into

the national parliament. they were obviously the cd you would have hoped for a better result but we mustn't forget that we achieved all strategic objectives we have a mandate to form a new government and no government can be formed against all without us. through today's a difficult day for social democracy we missed out on our electoral go after losing our central region and we lost the federal election. i did friends this is a big day in history of our party we've made it we've entered the bundestag and we will change this country to achieve what happened today at six o'clock is a revolution. ok our building correspondent peter all of

a joins me in. in the studio peter i always feel like the day after election result you sort of gauge the mood in the country by looking at the papers so what are they saying well that's exactly what we're going to do right now we're going to start off with the. they are talking about coalitions it's what a lot of the papers are speaking about right now just what type of coalition are we going to get what we know what type of coalition we can have it's not what we can get everybody is talking about at the morgan post as well just how will you make a coalition now that's a coalition it involves four different parties it's worthwhile noting the free democrats the greens along with angola merkel. christian democratic union as well as the sister party the christian social union how they're going to come to the agreement is on the front page of all of the papers right now because that is going to be a tough get for parties essentially for different agendas they've all got to come together and form a government yet we've heard a lot of a lot of commentators saying it's got to be robust but this isn't an easy

negotiation to take place these parties are very different beliefs hugely different issues we're looking it came to greece needing a for the bailout the free democrats who would be part of that coalition they would be right against that if it came to big trade deals like a tape like seat at these things that have been going on the go shit for years the greens would oppose them how until america works not in her new government a new cabinet. that's not a negotiation i would want to be part of so everyone saying great success for the alternative germany party but i want to paint a picture let's imagine that you know there's a party for political parties they have the sort of the person who stood in the corner of the room nobody really wants to talk to them and then this of looking slightly uncomfortable is the people don't want to coalition with their well the f.d.a. and the left party with the only two parties that angela merkel expressly said that she would not go into coalition with yes sat in the kitchen party however what we've seen just on monday morning really. i was after the election results have

been confirmed is for petrie had been the chef person all of the alternative to charity party saying she's not going to take a seat in the bundestag she spoke to the press we can see what you say right now. we're going to create real policy and that's a long consideration i decided not to be a member of the parliamentary group in the going to start i would like to ask you for your understanding i will not answer any questions on this. so it's something else i'll well sure put sweet for petri she said got up and left she's not going to take up a seat in the building just behind us. we don't really know what she plans next she says she wants to help the party get into government in twenty twenty one what is the f.t. about and people say ok on to islam anti immigration is that morton and that is going to need to be more to them than that isn't there if they're going to build on thirteen percent of the alternative for germany a really good day to provide

a little bit of needled they proclaim themselves as the only real opposition to angle of the well opposed to what almost everything the chancellor puts forward over the last four years they've opposed to very strongly all immigration as you said they have been touted as being anti islamic policy they've also been called as populist we can have a little look now about what alternative for germany this new kid on the block in german politics as far as being in the bundestag is called sir and what they're all about right now i would say.

wish list this shall be all station deep and complex and. you. believe the. movies. we need to show people that it's not all to me how you should stop being so i just want to say we're saying that the f.t. of the unpopular guest at a party i don't think are going to sit quietly in the kitchen i thought at all they're going to be very loud over the next four years that's one thing that we can definitely guarantee from them we're going to hear from them ok we'll hear more analysis about their success so far throughout the day peter many thanks we'll

speak to you again next hour. now while anglo-american victory was widely predicted the upset of the election was the right wing alternative of germany party getting more votes than expected they got their first seats in the bundestag now and their success meant a lot of dismay for the people who don't like. i i i i. we can see here people have been rallying across germany against the right wing party protesters shouting anti nationalists slogans outside the very same building but if the leaders were understandably celebrating their success r.t.s. correspondent followed the post-election demonstrations with the out here with i was.

in these you know it was already very much. be honest obviously it would mean elsewhere assault you. know what happened with the immigration policy in particular trying to much decision to lessen over a million refugees things on a d.v.d. or having scared about being provocative which of us still. i. i. was. i . was.

least that's just going to send a signal with a key change movies protest is that i found out tonight i was going to bring i can show you some of the fact that they still here are some pretty varied ones actually they have been calling the people upset not only. the one thing that springs to mind when you see these very angry people is that it might be quite frightening experience for any elected now national politician from the. democracy you just have to know that jamie was it from a senior citizen to say yes forgotten a little bit in this democracy and there's always some of it was new to the moment has not had this to be just

a scene of all the stuff you. it's migration it's not even if you see your oh yes i see it's the advocacy you have the europeans all those topics such as only has one answer to that you could be would be the only ones to me that in their own opinion but then you just exactly are that he gives them the finger and the one of the other that they actually did want to make this week they see the celebration was a load of the undies no less that which said that first they ignore you then they laugh at you then they might see you and they you play. around as it stands here is how they official provisional results have the make up of the bundestag seven hundred ninety six this time around the c.d.u. in line to get the biggest share two hundred forty six seats for them but this is the key thing seventy less than previously social democrats disappointing numbers to learn hundred fifty three seats ninety four more than most people will never but

he was really thinking even the alternative for germany party itself couldn't really stickley hope to god that many seats. let's bring in frank alibi nice a key figure in german politics a senior german diplomat who took part in the two plus four negotiations you helped to reuse germany at the time it was a huge thing so what i ask you now is always seeing germany fragmenting going the opposite direction politically when you see the alternative of germany party gaining support the christian democrats losing a lot of votes and the social democrats but i don't think there's any reason to believe that we have become that instead of a country. the two main parties peoples party were there for them so we could defeat and i think rightly so. they have misunderstood their own mission.

called. what is that mission their mission as they thought it was to consolidate their power with all of explaining to the voters why they should do it and they did not take into account the anxieties of the problems of the nation so if you don't explain sufficiently why you should remain in power you may get a little presented at the end of the election even if they get lazy. they became complacent what about the alternative germany party because that they had great success does not mean that they've been listening to the people better than the major parties i don't think so because nobody voted i think. a d. for their program which are still very obscure. the big parties made the mistake of demonizing it. and they gave the status that they had not

deserved so a many to vote as prompted to vote because they had thought that the only way how to voice their protest do you think because this is a label that's put on there if you think that the right wing think that the nazi definitely they are not nazi. right wing there's no doubt about it and we don't have the same situation as we had in the thirty's of drama this is the politically stable country and i think they will peter out as other right wing parties have done so you think they'll be trying i was looking at the breakdown the demographics of their support and they get a lot more support in the east of germany than they do in the west in particular men in the east of the country i think that garnering almost thirty percent of male votes in the east is that not quite a big lot from which to why you know there is a certain amount of dissatisfaction with the. home of g.d.r. which is a serious issue and which has to be taken into account by any. and perhaps.

they feel that they have been more neglected from the rest of the federal republic but i'm going back to the beginning of my. mind. we have the situation that we have since two thousand and five. all together. twelve years of a grand coalition that is bad for democracy it kills parliamentarian it doesn't allow an opposition party to degenerate and i think we're just going to be fed up and we're looking for different alternatives this also explains the rich coming back all the liberals if you want alternatives you're going to get alternatives is going to be a different color election this time around what will we get to i don't think we will get something. or you could talk about i don't think we will get to able to offer an alternative they have the border tomatillos in their name but they

are not able to be the jamaica coalition or something else. present it looks as if the had to make a coalition is the only possible is it a good coalition for germany. it is the only coalition that we. having and i mean if you did neither chances or. to make a coalition you would have to face new elections and very briefly because that is it good to have the social democrats in opposition does that strengthen the house of politics i think it is good i think it was advised this session to do with it and it is actually a decision that comes from the very basis of the party and to show that did not ignore all the moves. that exist at the base of the party and the children with a good party they have contributed to. the drum foreigner and

the domestic policy they know. who worried over decades. if they have no time to regenerate you know position. good. speech thanks so much for coming in to the studio german diplomat frank my guest. ok if you just to stay with us for a second we'll just move on to talk a little bit more about the alternative to germany's success because been a shock for a lot of people but there are some european politicians are pretty pleased about this policy or explains. the surprise that the leaders of europe's far right are full of congratulations for the strong showing of the a d here in france you have marine le pen who said that not only is this congratulations for what you called to a fifty allies she called it a historic win saying that it is a new symbol of the awakening of the european people build is the far right dutch leader said that we will fight for our countries and our people and in some of the

same two minutes coming out of italy's populist northern league salvini the leader tweeted the desire for change is growing it's up to us as expected parallel to these comments you have european leaders coming out in support of the merkel you have the french president who phoned to congratulate her he said that the two will continue with determination the vital cooperation for europe and for the country's north of spain's prime minister saying that merkel's reelection would serve to quote the promotion of the european integration project at the same time you have concern again for the strong showing of the if the the first easy you diplomat to come in talk to the results came out from brussels the commissioner for the economic and financial affairs most of h.-e. he said that if these entry into the buddhist stuff was a major shock and bluntly reveals to you quote in society now these same timmons were echoed by major jewish organizations both here in the. an internationally and

they have expressed alarm and dismay at the strong showing of this following post. well as promised we have been bringing you senior diplomats politicians will bring you insightful analysis of what's happening in the world of german politics throughout the day join me next hour for more analysis. with manufactured sentenced to public will. when the ruling closest project. the flaming.

lips. we can all middle of the room see. the real news is really. the reason why north korea is trying to develop the capability to. prevent japan and the united states from assisting south korea in case of contingencies because with. the missile capabilities capable of attacking japan and the united states north korea can say to the americans and japanese if you assist south korea we would you with nuclear weapons. now a new human rights watch report accusing. the u.s.

led coalition of killing at least eighty four civilians including thirty children in syria the report cites two coalition air strikes back in march which at a school in a market near the city of raka a human rights watch says that the actual death toll is likely to be much higher as bodies could still be buried under the rubble the coalition claims that it's looking into these allegations of course used to be isolated facto capital in syria in november u.s. backed forces launched an operation to brag to the terror group. but let's discuss the discuss this now with beirut based journalist martin j. martin welcome back to the program and we've been here before haven't we the the reasons are often and i'm dumping ahead here maybe i still uses civilians as human shields that it's a sad fact of conflict that there are civilian casualties how robust of those reasons and or excuses now given how long this has gone on for. well they're incredibly convenient although for this new trump administration how

is this extraordinary a malevolent attitude towards human rights and international rules i don't think they stand up for it i just think they serve the purposes of the short of these of this bombing campaign in syria which is you know you've got a question as the report does. the quality the quantity i should say the to give me the quality of the intelligence which has come through which is sketchy at best and i think completely missing that worse i mean a school which apparently was being used as a weapons facility which is very hard to prove disprove isn't it. turns out it was actually being used as a makeshift refugee camp a breadline which surely would have been visible from the sky for many pilots carrying out would come. the really shocking indictment of the trumpet ministration but this isn't some sort of fringe charity talking about this is a

a veteran humanitarian organization. and that's been looking into this they are pretty thorough and human rights watch says do you still not think there's going to be any case to answer for the united states over this are going to be the same collateral damage plus it you. know i think i think there will be a case to answer because i think what we're witnessing what we're seeing now for the first time and there's a hint of this in the report which is that we will be seeing is the beginning of. some sort of a legal case against him america's disgust let's not forget the americans are in syria completely illegally there is a hint in the report there was a report touches on the idea that at some point in the future these witnesses will be in a position to make some sort of a case possibly in international courts against america's most so i think that's what we're looking at now we're looking at the we're witnessing of. some sort of momentum of international rule being carried out trump has absolutely no regard

whatsoever. for his image ribbons towards international is breathtaking. was much more suspect it's natural don't forget it was international law which prevents its a bomb of keeping american soldiers in iraq from two thousand words so i think now we are seeing now a new focus on international law and i think this was one of those which come off it will form the basis of evidence against americans. whatever the white house saw whichever president thinks about this we talk about the american military here this is a huge organization it's got its own reputation to try and keep up do you think it's going to try and do something about this i said that there's going to be an investigation but then he writes what say the coalition didn't even expect the scene of the strikes. you know i don't think will be an investigation at all and if there is i think it would be a token one just simply to what was the whole situation no we can't rely on the americans with american military to. investigates there are

atrocities on the ground in syria that would be ridiculous if you like them. providing the evidence to be held against them later points. no i think we we have to accept the organizations like human rights watch and all those will do the investigations will interview the witnesses later stages of the bout's really the beginning of the legal structure of the state and i mean i'm quite confident that this is going to happen in the future i've seen it before and i think this is an oversight of the from the structure of these generals or think they will be looking at a legal case at some point in the future and quite likely will be here again talking about it for now there in beirut thanks very much for that. we're going to stay with syria the russian defense ministry says it spotted american military equipment and i saw positions just outside the city of deer and saw it provided aerial photos as evidence now one of them appears to show an armored vehicle

northeast of the city and in the same direction a similar vehicle seen near a terrorist stronghold two other infantry mobility vehicles have also been spotted close to the area the russian military says there's no evidence of clashes between u.s. backed forces and i still at these locations we've asked for comment from the u.s. led coalition so far we haven't heard anything we'll let you know if we do meantime military analyst kamau alarm points out that american equipment has ended up in terrorist hands before. but the last few years not just isis but also the al qaeda in syria which are linked to the syrian opposition they have consistently had u.s. equipment and a lot of the high tech or whether it's humvees or at the time the sounds of. somehow all the u.s. workers end up in terrorist hands so obviously these pictures could be quite damning a group correct as mentioned the russian military and the syrian that we can really get terrorists here vs the n.f.l. fighting in an area which is very crowded and it seems to be that from the from

what we can verify from the pitches these positions of those devices who are standing side by side with b.s.t. at which are allies of the u.s. and using their equipment that's it for now we'll have your latest election reaction from germany in half an hour with all the surprises among the relative predictability of it all this is also international thanks for watching. seemed wrong. but i. just don't. get to shape out these days comes to advocate and in the game equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

right now we're in quite a. scene over thanks to. these various fish you played so. i hope he asked me to do that as moments it's almost time yes i might. i could introduce you eat it is home to do most bowl full drug syndicate why you're growing marijuana tomatoes it's a. good deal of the full grown people at the market. for your money want people. to be.
