7:06 pm
isn't it it's ok for the united states because we're the good guys it's not ok for anybody else because they're not the good guys this catches up after a while and this is going to make friends and foes alike angry and and think twice about u.s. policy specially as it comes to immigration i would point to platforms or organizations that are that are hosted overseas that are encrypted that are better protected things like proton through example. that that the united states doesn't have to reach into there is no backdoor there is no secret handshake with the c.e.o. of the company and the cia or n.s.a. or f.b.i. i hope that people do get tired of this and look elsewhere outside of facebook and twitter and instagram for some personal protection. and avenues to sound the alternative for germany pati celebrating a local election breakthrough the anti immigration movement came 2nd in state
7:07 pm
elections in brandenburg and saxony significantly increasing the influence in this parliament was committed will those results with some of the best for the party since it was formed just 6 years ago for the ruling christian democrats have said they will not work with the a.f.p. peter all of the reports from belin. well starts off in brandenburg it was a win for the social democrats in a campaign that they were neck and neck with throughout the alternative for germany picking up around 23 percent of the vote there with the social democrats winning on 25 percent in saxony we saw massive gains for alternative for germany it wasn't enough for them to win the state that went to the christian democratic union anger merkel's party 2728 percent for alternative for germany in saxony could end up rising as high as 30 big gains for them there and it is the sensational results we
7:08 pm
have achieved the best result in local elections ever and we can see that 30 years after the fall of the wall governments don't want to be left wing need the. let me just see it is clear these 2 elections have had only one winner the. we've seen from other politicians who have been looking at these results from alternative for germany and they're not happy about the role they've played in allowing a.f.d. to make such big games. i am happy that we have a really good result what worries me is a result in this means we continue to face big challenges in this country. we all hope for more and wished for more and i am also disappointed like many others are disappointed no question i as the lead candidate also share responsibility for this result alternative journey were founded as the anti euro euro skeptic party back in

2013 but it was following the influx of refugees and migrants into germany in 2016 that they started to pick up a lot of points a lot of votes in the east of the country the big problem is going to come now is how they're going to form some form of coalition in these 2 states because the major parties the established parties i guess you could call them now. in both states have said they will not work with alternative for germany that means you're probably looking at at least a 3 party coalition in both states a well quite convoluted coalition a real broad church is going to have to be put in there because of the large chunk the large proportion of the votes that alternative for germany have picked up in both the states of brandenburg and saxony here in germany. well we got the views of both the left party and the f.t. on these results you can be very powerful even many on a position and especially when you have
7:10 pm
a weak governments against you and what we see in sex on even just a most important east german federal state and there we have a christian democrat party that at least used to be quite conservative and they have greens that are a lefty for greens so now they have to to build a coalition or do they don't fit together at all so we've all have a weak government and we've all seen the party members of both the greens and the christian democrats are very on a happy about that so but a new government will be very unstable and we're very strong and we are together and united and when you are a strong opposition force and you have an unstable government then you can kind of reach a lot so i guess it's a mistake that you have to be part of a government to change a country you can change it by good a position by good media and by good arguments and add all this to tossed for us and the next years and years and agenda and really that is based on it will centric
