when they collect your insurance payment after your death, there's a group of people out there, i guess, hoping that people die soon. what kind of motivation is i give them? when i start crying about them dying? that's usually what it's about. it's just the sheer unfairness of it all. the 2nd neck in germany's federal election with exit polls. putting the sent to left, s p d, just the head of the ruling cd signaling. what could be a change of direction for the country and the post medical, as well as special coverage, was billed to be a very tight rates. the chancellor in the wake up stories here on our see the russian city, mom's the loss of 6 people killed in the universe shooting all correspondence, retraces the steps of the teen gum and deadly rampage. this is the exact road the perpetrator took while he was carrying out his vicious planet in front of the
4:01 pm
political dialogue. the night was non existant since america and britain struggled to comp french anger about the security package that was made for the straight. ah, good evening, a great time you were the doing r t international. ok, the votes are in the count, his own in germany's federal election. the outcome is set to determine who will replace angular. michael is chancellor in what will be the 1st change at the top in germany in more than a decade and ah, ah, the 1st exit polls are in,
4:02 pm
they all indicate support for mental cd. you see, a few lines has shrunk considerably since the last folks was taking place in 2017 germany said a f news channels. but the social democrats, in a narrow leading 26 percent of these. the really interesting democrats are in 2nd place to 24.5 percent. 3rd places, green party with 13.9 and then come the free democrats on 11.7 mill, turned to germany. party has gone at 10 and a half percent according to exit polls in the last part, the only just getting past that 5 percent threshold in case you on sure, let me just explain to you what the vote actually means today that germans do not directly to the chancellor, they like members of the parliament, the buddhist talk, who will then go about picking a chancellor lead. what in practice is always a coalition government and it'll be the same this time. and the 2nd ballot paper was to choose a political policy of the $47.00 policies that were buying. the only part if you
4:03 pm
get 5 percent of the vote nationwide will get to parliament. no single party expected to secure an absolute majority. meaning, coalition talks are inevitable. ortiz correspondent, based in berlin to oliver, breaks down the possible options. it's about as close as thing get here in germany. as it stands, the social democrats, the center left party, are ahead by a whisker in this most recent poll. in fact, they look like they're about to put on around an extra 5 percent of what they picked up back in 2017. this would be one of the biggest comebacks since lots of us because just even earlier this year, they looked well out of the running. and that's probably one of the reasons why they're candidate for john for all f sholtes seems quite beat. if i makes you feel it's, then i'm happy to see so many here today. and of course i'm happy about the election results. germans have decided that the social democrats are on their way and that's
4:04 pm
a big success. this will be a long election. make sure, but what's the certain as well as that many germans put that cross next to the s p d because they want to change in the government. and because they want the next chancellor of this country to be olaf shut. oh, there was quite a different mood on show at the headquarters for the center, right? conservative union that's made up of the christian democratic union and in bavaria, the kristian social union. they look likely to drop around 9 percent of what they pulled back in 2017. i mentioned the christian social union in bavaria that for on 32.5 percent. if that comes in that around that well, that would be the lowest numbers date posted since 1949. farrah thought the conservative block set for pops that worst ever showing in the bone the stag. they have spent the last 16 years in power with angular merkel at the helm. it's now looking unlikely, or looking, uncertain whether there'll be
4:05 pm
a part of the next government us. all this is nick, connect race. this election is an exceptional situation. at present. we don't have any certain outcome any certain figures, but we can already say that we cannot be satisfied with the results. and yet the outcome of elections still unclear. this will be all night. we couldn't get shawn's eigen well, germany is all about coalitions when it comes to who rules the country. so let's have a look at some of the, the mathematical possibilities based on how things look at the moment. the grand coalition is between the center, right. and the center left, that's what's rural germany for the last 4 years or unlikely that is what's going to be going forward. basically because it's, it's unlikely it's unknown whether they will get over the 50 percent needed of seats in the bonus tag in order to form a coalition. government will then start looking through those coalitions that involve 3 parties. the traffic light coalition so called because of the, the colors of the parties involved. that's the red of the social democrats, the greens of the green party, and the yellow of the free democrats. there's also the germany coalition that
4:06 pm
deutschland coalition, or sometimes called the mickey mouse coalition, by those that don't particularly like it. that's because it makes up the colors of the german flag or the, or the colors of disney's mouse. that's the red of the social democrats, the black of the conservative union, and the yellow they free democrats. no, that's particularly popular with business, not so much with anybody else. that brings us on to 2 national flag coalitions that you make a coalition, which is between the conservative union, the green policy, and the free democrats. plenty of questions would be raised with that one. then there's the kenya coalition. so called because of the can you flag as i mentioned, that's red, black and green. now mark is zada, who's the leader of the various christiy and social union to be quite fun. sees a jamaica coalition, of course he would that would see him or his party at least to remain in government . what we are hearing though is when it comes to coalition talks,
4:07 pm
it may well be the free democrats, the pro business, low tax party, the green, the grid that want to see more taxes on the pro environmentalist agenda that they may have to hammer out. coalition talks before they involve parties that have won the lion's share of the vote, because if those 2 can form a coalition, if they can work together, then they can be the king make isn't decide who gets to be chancellor. a long way to go yet though we knew this was going to be tight. i don't think we really realized exactly how tight until we've seen these figures. rather, take a closer look now, what each of the 3 leading parties stands for. the social democrats to lead those exit pose wanted to see much more rustic action taken on climate change, said this morning, the gratian and more free trade. the party also supports the creation of the european army, well upholding germany nato commitments. if the pcs good ties with russia as being vital to european pace 2nd in the polls is the c to u. c. s u alliance,
4:08 pm
which until now is fronted by anglo makeover campaign slogan is to make good thing better in the post mack leave the promising to tighten up immigration rules and to cut taxes for low to middle income work is on foreign policy. they see relations with russia and china being the challenges the face general, the i think of the green party with more than 14 percent of the folks they seek to combat climate change, obviously. and to develop infrastructure. they're also in favor of more immigration and a rise in the minimum wage. they support a universal basic income despite approving of germany's native membership. they, however, stand against nuclear weapons on the green's won't tougher policies on russia and china. just some interesting information about reports coming in, some polling stations in berlin actually ran out of balance. papers has been said that they weren't able to get deliveries in quick enough because roads had been
4:09 pm
closed because of the annual morrison in berlin, which also takes place on sunday. is preferred choice in the political rights on last year. drums attention to the polling station when the accident revealed his palate paper to photographers after it had already been filled in. while we discuss what the new government might look like, we've talked to already bruckner, a professor, european studies, a stanford university in berlin. well, it feels very good for the social democrats to be in a position like this when they have the lead for the very 1st time since 2002. and it was like rising from the ashes. when you look back just a few months ago, they went down to 15 percent and you know, one could possibly expect a result like this. on the other hand, what is 25 percent plus? it's certainly not enough to call this an impressive victory. but that is the
4:10 pm
situation in germany these days that the country has so diversify it and, and no one really has a home in the political party spectrum that they easily swing from one party to the other depending on single issues. and that made it so hard to predict a possible outcome, not to speak of the colors that people peter just mentioned. and it can even be that the social democrats don't really offer enough to junior partners. it's most likely that they need to because i don't think that the spirit and the grand correlation between the social democrats and the christian democrats union would allow swap off places of the social democrats to take the chancellor. read the christian democratic union only the vice chancellor said he was in such a bad condition after marco that i don't really see this happening. so there will be something like a free party coalition that can take a long time until they agree on what is done nailed down in
4:11 pm
a coalition treaty. so voting is over in germany, the exit polls suggest the country can be had if a change of direction with the s p d, just the head of michael c, d u c s. he says, because the cool course at this point will to get dated as the results come in. ah ah, a convoy of serbian tanks, as reported, had been spotted heading towards the cost of the border videos circulating on line suggests that belgrade is deploying troops amid soaring tensions with pristine a lot to bore a small go ski. he's a serbian canadian film director, producer, and screenwriter and who is in serbia right now. good evening to you bar. it's thanks for joining us. just want you to take us through what you've seen,
4:12 pm
what you've heard, what's happening in yes, well, these are unconfirmed reports. the tanks have been spotted heading towards the minister crossing with southern province because of all that is the sight of tension isn't going on for days after a customer authority is decided to do you recognize license plates from serbia, which is a very controversial move and is not in line with the brussels agreement that was signed back in 2013. but this is only one of several controversial issues that a variety and between for seen and belgrade. for seen, of course, not adopting many of the points of the brussels agreement to view the cleaning association of serving municipalities would have been a major issue between pristina and belgrade. christine is absolute occupation of northern cost of and metal hija is taking place in
4:13 pm
international silence. however, everyone starts to worry immediately when they see serbian helicopters and planes over the territory of central serbia. apparently they should not take off without the approval of the prime minister of kosovo, cutty or someone from the international community. yes, as we heard the serbian president arguably frustrated with what is going on. we heard, you know, the, you having a very little form response to the whole issue, basically calling on both sides deescalate when it is actually one side proceed, which is causing the player contentions. costco and serbia must find solutions to defuse the situation and agree on the way forward. the you will actively support these efforts, both cost of an answer be and lead as a fully responsible for any risks to the safety and well being of local communities . yes, as you can, as you can hear, the european union western politicians calling on both sides to de escalate. when
4:14 pm
it's, as we said, only one side causing the country. and i actually had a chance to interview one of the officials of our courteous party. i'll be pretty being the so called prime minister of the so called public corso with minute you start, he marries his name with met it. that course was essentially a colony of the west. and this basically means that nothing that cost does is done without approval of the united states. so it's basically an issue where constable does whatever it wants with the blessing of united states. and in the west says, you know, you to present in belgrade need to figure out a solution of how to get out of this out of a situation that is caused by western interference. as we all know, because it has been under international administration for, for decades. since 989 with natal bond legally bombed the former yugoslavia occupied possible. and the only part that posted on is still under somewhat serving control is the northern part. and what the procedure it's already want to do is
4:15 pm
basically take control over all of the cost of the entire territory of cost and, and the pressure of serbia into recognize because of something that serbia as declined to do as it is not in accordance with un security council resolution 1244, which is still in effect. and many countries do regard coastal part of serbia, russia and china being the biggest one of course, most important ones. but the west wants to put pressure in serbia. the president is under a very tight pressure to, to do so, but i believe that this show force if the confirmed reports are true, is also aimed at the domestic audience, which is very frustrated. but how the less is handling this is trying to keep a middle ground between the 2 sides. one is actually supporting completely one side isn't telling serbia to de escalate while serbia is not the one that's causing all of these problems. came anything for a sparse smell, gorski the subbing canadian films are it with the latest that

the russian city of p. n is in morning after this week's university gun massacre. 6 people were killed on monday. my students, the classmates, described as being a silent and lonely teenager warning, you may find these images coming up, disturbing. another 40 people were injured in, not shooting most of them. students, many of whom were still fighting for their lives. on the corresponding constantino's. coff has been retracing the steps taken by the killer. this is the exact road the perpetrator took while he was carrying out his vicious plan. and this is, by the way, the exec street, where he fired at a passing car as he was making his way towards the campus. ah, the gunman showed up at the university faculty building. and this is where he was 1st filmed by terrified students. they were staring at him as he strode across the park with a hunting rifle, ammunition wrapped around his body. the
4:17 pm
me i didn't. but when i was leaving university, a group of people had already gathered that. it turns out that 15 minutes earlier we could have been in that situation. it was very scary. we usually eat in the building. next time we had in the 1st building out that it was this little, even today. ah, that's the building where are these horrific scenes unfolded just meters away from where we're standing now? people were jumping from a height of about 4 meters spalding heavily onto the ground. many of them have
4:18 pm
suffered serious injury because of that hasty evacuation my fee was among those who jumped. this is him on the video falling from the window. fortunately, he didn't suffer any injuries, unlike other students movie did in we saw a guy walking across the square holding a gun. aiming a top building. he fired a shot and then disappeared from our line of sight. and then we realized we had to do something better with us. sprint has been identified as an 18 year old freshman at the university and a social media post he made. shortly before he embarked on the shootings, he talked about hatred for mankind in general. and that he'd been planning to commit a mass murder for several years. yeah . well, it looks like nobody's in there. this is the suspects department, that is where he lived with his mother. and neighbors told us that after she was called in by the investigative committee, she then decided to move elsewhere away from the media. attention near the house.
4:19 pm
we met the suspect. former classmates remembered him as a silent and lonely teenager who didn't have a lot of friends. they also run into him the morning he went to shoot people all to quibble when he was quiet and shy, not very sociable and he always slower when he walked in a new deal of the game that day. he walked differently. that day he walked with confidence quickly with broad steps. and of course the main question in everyone's mind now is how 18 year old got hold of a firearm. while he bought it legally, he passed the medical test. he was added by a take hi triest, who apparently had found anything odd about this quiet young man. there was even footage taken in one of the gun stores on the outskirts of berm right here, where the light shooter purchased himself. ammo as he was getting ready for the mass. murder, ah ah,
4:20 pm
we were welcome at the store. if you didn't get your name was crystal clear about this tragedy is that it could have been much worse if it hadn't been for 2 heroic traffic police officers who just happened to be in the vicinity. when the shooting started, both officers rushed to the campus with one of them quickly running into the attacker who opened fire. that officer consented calling in return, fire, wounding the suspect, and then he administered 1st 8, or the gun mans and hospital in a serious condition. although he has revived and even regained conscious, i can say that about the city though hard because of perm is still trying to come to terms with the nightmare that has just happened. and as you can see,
4:21 pm
people are still gathering at this make shift memorial to honor the memory of the deceased united states and britain. a scrambling to men de rift with france after they sideline, or ally, and a security pack made with strayer, in biden's. now admitted it was wrong to strike a deal behind paris. his bank that says to the french defense chief said the political dialogue with a nato at all, but disappeared. let you to do it. as you knew, the attitude of the united states, one of the submarine program is a further investigation of them servatius that we have been making for months today . political dialogue is non existent within the atlantic. lions? well, he's done a quarter pulse now on the cracks, appearing within the western military lungs and how the british prime minister's handling the pressure what, what do you say? no, again, you have only a mutual protection, a greater common purpose. all this seems to go out the window and there's
4:22 pm
a bit of money to be made. the recent controversy surrounding the u. s. u. k and australia is new security pack has left, you leaders scratching their heads about what even means to be in nato anymore. the reason for nato's existence is transatlantic security. this is what we want to remind you knighted states off. therefore, our partners decided on our initiative as well as on the initiative of germany to revise the strategic concept of the alliance. being allies does not mean being hostage to the interests of another country. at 1st, the spat seem confined to only a few powers friends being upset with the suspension of its submarine contract with australia, which resulted from offices provisioning of nuclear sub technology to the country. and the entire strategic alliance is feeling the reverb. it is such a difficult issue where we see traditional alliances in some way torn apart are certainly changed fundamentally. but the issue doesn't stop their london doesn't
4:23 pm
even feel like they've done anything wrong. it's 3 very like mine did allies standing shoulder to shoulder creating a new partnership for the sharing of technology. it is not exclusive. i did not trying to to shoulder anybody. i did not at the stereo towards china. e, you states feeling like they were left, hung out to dry, the u. s. and u. k. making decisions without consulting their friends with nato's ongoing friendship. crisis airing it's member states dirty laundry. many are finding it hard to see a strong united future for the west over 7 decade long military alliance. nato was considered by france and months ago, the year to go back cuz my whole as brain dead, a brain dead. lion stress, strong words within nato. they want to revise the concept, he's teaching concepts and bring it back actually to the north atlantic. because if you follow america, nato will soon be in the pacific,
4:24 pm
cruising around china with us. this is not the way nature was conceived and it shouldn't be there. europeans should not be in that region of the world markets that repeatedly, that we should enlarge, our vision any desperately look to something to do. that's the reality. you know, we are in that. i mean maint. what's in the scanner is in iraq to train the forces? that's the limits of the extension. this is not the north atlantic anymore. is it? anti locked down rallies in the australian city of melbourne. have led to some brutal encounters with police mon video surfaced of a man being held to the ground and restrained the police. say they are investigating that case. this warn you. you may find these pictures disturbing the oh well, the 90 people were arrested in melbourne on saturday during
4:25 pm
4:27 pm
in the sterling prime minister insists that people need to get themselves vaccinated if they want restrictions to. and we've been very successful saving lives. but we've also got to give people their lives back. and i think that's what a strategy and wanted to get your feel facts and i did. and we can ensure that a strike can go forward and not be held back. earlier in the week, victoria state law enforcement called for the space of an album to be restricted to police helicopters, news out of this challenge. the plan with the court ruling, the shop is, could fly with police approval, australian affairs, unless gideon rosena gave us his view. suspicion is they did that because they thought that there was so many angry and frustrated people in melbourne that it people saw, had been the protest were but actually come enjoining. and we can't be under any illusions as to what's happening here. for the 1st time in australia, the victorian police has since effectively since the broadcast media. once you have the police censoring the free press, you are entering a very,
4:28 pm
very dangerous territory. we are using can to terrorism police officers on australian citizens on protest. we shouldn't have a situation where police protest, the pris free protest this wildly with rubber bullets. would you guess police climates? because under crone of ours rules, you can't gather publicly for any reason, including protesting. i actually think there's an element of politicize ation that's occurred. he upstream police brutality. we're saying it is an attempt to crush people who cross the thing to, to baldly, take down. people who disagree with these insane and a p freedom locked and was ok. german election coverage continues out the rest of the week. stop stories in half an hour. me the one the make note, you know, board is under the number t's as
4:29 pm
emerged. we don't have authority, we don't actually, the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judge governors crisis. we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in our own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. me ah
