tells us we are summoning the demon the robot must protect its own existence with the angle of medical fancy appears to have come up short in germany, federal election as the rival social democrats inch ahead for the 1st place. and the preliminary results will have special coverage of what's built to be an extremely tight race for the transfer ship. whole thing, the week stop story, the russian sales repair, move the loss of 6 people killed in the universe to shifting our correspondent traces. the steps of the gunman is deadly rampage. this is the exact road the perpetrator took while he was carrying out his vicious atlanta on france as

political dialogue within nato is non existent as the us and britain struggle to come french and get a security box with us trailer ah, the latest news and the week's top story, this is the week you and i've seen to national with me you lasha. paula, thanks for joining us. now the preliminary vote count is not in for germany is parliamentary elections with the social democratic party, in fact, plays just the head of michaels, a, c, d. in 2nd, making chances a pair groom for the long time chancellor chosen success at the

so polls indicate the full for now cause cd. you see if you pause and shrank considerably since the last words in 2017. germany's for the news channel, the social democrats in believe with 25.8 percent with a ruling christian cross and 2nd place with 24 point one percent of the vote. saturday'd be green party with 14.8 percent. comes the free democratic party with 11.5 percent. they alternative for germany policy gone is 10.3 percent and the left party is teetering on the font percent threshold and less not more closely. i won't divert means germans today. one directly tracing a chancellor. they were like, same members of the burned stock will now go about picking a chancellor to lead. what a practice is always a coalition government issued to receive 2 bonded pay, put the finances for a candidate in the electoral district. and there are $299.00 such constituents as

across the country. and the 2nd bullet is for a political party. there are $47.00 of them vying for seas, but only parties with more than 5 percent of the nationwide can and to parliament with no single party expected to secure an absolute majority coalition talk soon have a civil also is peter oliver breaks down the possible options for us, 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 come back 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 chancellor. all shots seems quite a bit why makes it says in,

i'm happy to see so many here today. and of course i'm happy about the election results. the germans have decided that the social democrats are on their way to make 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 o lashona so 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 christine social union, they look likely to drop around 9 percent of what they put back in 2017. i mentioned the christian social union in bavaria for on 32.5 percent. if that comes in around that, well, that would be the lowest numbers date posted since $949.00 farrah thought the conservative block set for hops at worst, ever showing in the bone the stag. they have spent the last 16 years in power with

angela merkel at the helm. it's now looking unlikely, or looking, uncertain whether that will be a part of the next government us. all. this is nick neck race. this election is an exceptional situation. a president. we don't have any certain outcome, any certain figures, but we can already say that we can not be satisfied with the results. and yet the outcome of elections still unclear this will be on top of your current. yet sean sagen, while 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 grunge coalition is between the feds right in 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 as known 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 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 of the free democrats is particularly popular with business. not so much with anybody else. that brings us on to, to national flag coalition that you make a coalition, which is between the conservative union, the green party, and the free democrats. plenty of questions would be raised with that wall. then there's the kenya coalition. so called because of the can you flag as i mentioned, that's red, black and green. know mark is zada, who's the leader of the various christiy and social union quite funds these a jamaica coalition will 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, it may well be the free democrats, the pro business, low tax policy, the greens, 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 one the share of the vote, because if those 2 can form a coalition, if they can work together than they can be the king makers and 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. unless not take a closer look, i will show the 3 leading parties stands for the social democrats, which are in the lead. want to see much more traffic action on climate change. and they are in favor of nor immigration, and free trade. the hills to support the creation of a european army while holding germany's nato commitments. and the d. c is good

times with russia as find hopefully european piece. second in the poll days, the cdcs alliance, which until now i was fronted by uncle michael campaigns, but i wanted to make good things better in the post michael era. they're promising to title immigration rules and comp taxes for low to middle income workers and, and foreign policy. they see relations with russia and china as the main challenges facing germany. now the great policy without 14 percent of the bud seeks to combat climate change and develop infrastructure. they're also in favor of more immigration and a rise in the minimum wage. also supporting a universe of basic income. despite approving of germany's native membership, they stand against nuclear weapons and the greens will tough. a policies on russia and china have been report that some polling stations in berlin ran out of balance

papers. it's also been said that they were not able to get deliveries quick enough as rows are closed due to the annual math, and also how this sunday angle americans preferred choice. had the political race, arm, and lash at rapp everyone's attention at the polling station. when he accidentally revealed his violence, photographers, i'll say it was already filled in and we discussed what the new government might look like with dr. re brooke. now, a professor of european studies at stanford university in berlin. and steven meisner, a political analyst. it feels very good for the social democrats to be in a position like this when half the lead for the very 1st time since 2002. on the other hand, it might leads to a few months until we finally know who's going to be the winner. and it can even be that the social democrats don't really offer enough to that junior partners. it's

most likely that they need to because i don't think that the spirit and the grand coalition between the social democrats and the christian democratic union would allow swap of places. the social democrats will take the chancellor re and the christian democratic union only the vice chancellor had said he was in such a bad condition, often makeover that i don't see this happening. so there will be something like a free party coalition. and that can take a long time until they agree on what is done nailed down in a coalition treaty. city, you has never had any elect results anywhere close as bad as they have tonight. lasha doesn't for the next government, i think the knives are going to come out in the c d, u. and there's going to be like real butchery going on. they have to basically do is to renew them to renew the party and have any hope of ever regaining above 30 percent. again, surviving serving germany and exit polls to join the country could be headed for

a change of direction with the s p d just slightly ahead of michael's c d. c. s. he saw too close to call, but we'll, we'll keep you updated as those results come in. the ban troops have been on a heightened state of alert at the cost of a border as only a convoy i've been tongues was reportedly observed heading towards course about the the circulating on lines adjust grade is deploying his troops. i mean soaring tensions with 1st tina escalation followed the course of a decision to require said ben drive was entering the region to obtain a new license plate issued by course about to vehicle registration. offices have been talked near the border in reaction cost was prime minister says said there is provoking an international conflict. individuals in groups whose activities

endanger the rule of law and public order are attacking our state and disturbing the peace. they are clearly encouraged and supported by serbia. serbia is using the citizens of kosovo to provoke a series international conflict. christine is absolute occupation of northern cost of and metro hija is taking place in that 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 that does not recognize its former province. of course, of a separate nation and dotted. consider as their mutual boarder is only a temporary boundary. they, you have called on both sides to diffuse attention. costco and serbia must find solutions to diffuse the situation and agree on the way forward. the you will actively support these efforts. both cost of answer been lead as

a fully responsible for any risks to the safety and well being of local communities and international affairs and list marco gothic and 7 canadian film director boris molig. bruce k. think the cost of his behavior and overall pensions are supported by the west european union, western politicians, calling on both sides to de escalate. when it's, as we said, only one side cars in the country. and i actually had a chance to interview one of the officials of our courteous party. i'll be pretty, being the prime minister of the so called republican coastal with minute we started married name admitted that was essentially a colony of the west and was basically means that nothing that costs more does is done without approval of the united states. so it's basically an issue where the constable does whatever it wants with the blessing of the united states. and in the west says, you know, you to proceed 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. what we have here is

a us attempt to up up. the answer is it. what seems to be happening is that things are too quiet for washington's taste, and they're encouraging the albanian, the leadership to the temperature. so the west come in pressure, so we have to lower the temperature as always happens. this is one side, the l pay a leadership advised by washington behaving intellectually creating a crisis. so any concessions should be by then we should basically be de escalation of that tendency to escalate in the why the picture we have i would say washington advising the paintings. we have a president routing safety perhaps too much advice from tony lab. so you will have western participants on both sides in a way we, we have here just to kind of an elegy of little situation by proxy with albany and using performing the usual quibbling, role of appeasing the empire. that seems to be around at the time

the central russia have param isn't morning uttered this week's university gun massacre. 6 people were killed in monday, allegedly by a student and classmates described as a silent and lonely teenager. just what a warning you might find, the following image is disturbing. another 40 people were wounded in the shooting. most of them students, many us so fighting for their life as he is constantly, roscoe has been retracing the steps taken by the killer. this is the exact road the perfect trader 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 film by terrified students. they were staring at him as he strode across the park with a hunting rifle,

ammunition wrapped around his body. he loved the me all i didn't. but when i was leaving university, a group of people who had already gathered that tons out 15 minutes earlier, we could have been in that situation. it was very scary. we usually eat a building next time we are in the 1st building out that it was this little even today. ah 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 suffered serious injuries because of that hasty evacuation to 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 gillian, 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 we realized we had to do something better with us. that has been identified as an 18 year old freshman at the university and a social media post he made. shortly before he embark 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 lives with his mother and neighbors told us that after she was

called in by the investigative committee, she then decided to move al, swear away from the media. attention near the house 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 slow when he walked out of the game that day, he walked differently. that day he worked 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 headed by say, hi teresa, who apparently hadn't found anything odd about this quiet young man. there was a footage taken in one of the gun stores on the outskirts of berg right here. where are the light shooter? purchased himself ammo as he was getting ready for the mass. murder

ah ah, we were welcome at the store. if we could get your name was crystal clear about this tragedy is that it could have been much worse if it hadn't been for 2 hero and 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 and quickly running into the attacker open fire. that officer constantine calling in return fire, wounding the suspects. and then he administered 1st aid 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 the permit is still trying to

come to terms with the nightmare that has just happened. and as you can see, people are still gathering at this make shift memorial to honor the memory of the deceased the us and britain us crumbling to man, direct with france after sidelining that ally in a security bond with us trailer biden has now admitted it was wrong to trying to do behind paris is a bank that sound to the fringe defense troops that political dialogue within nato has all but disappeared. let you to visit as you need the attitude of the united states. one of the submarine program is a further investigation of zation that we have been making for months today. political dialogue is non existent within the atlantic lions. and i don't know, quarter reports now on the chronic, so pairing within the western mill alliance. and how the british prime minister is handling depression. what, what do you say? you have going on to say agree, mutual protection,

a greater common purpose. all this seems to go out the window and there's a bit of money to be made. the recent controversy surrounding the u. s. u. k and australia as new security pack has left a new leaders scratching their heads about what even means to be in nato anymore. the reason for nato existence is transatlantic security. this is what we want to remind the united 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, this bad seemed confined to only a few powers. france 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 there. one that doesn't even feel like they've done anything wrong. it's 3 very like minded allies, standing shoulder to shoulder, creating a new partnership for the sharing of, 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. and 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 franz a month ago, the year to go back to michael as brain dead. a brain dead alliance, past strong words within nato. they want to revise the concept, he teaches concepts and bring it back actually to the north atlantic. because if

you follow america, nato will soon be in the pacific, cruising around china with us. this is not the way nature was conceived any 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 the, i mean main to what's in the scanner stuff is in iraq. to train the forces. that's the limits of the extension. this is not the north atlantic anymore. is it? on to log down rallies in the australian city of melbourne has led to some berto encounters with police. one vizier has surfaced of a man being held to the ground and was trained states police say they are investigating the case just of ordering some disturbing foot at your head the

oh. a 9 to be for were arrested in melbourne on saturday during a 6th day of unrest coded cases that have been on the rise in july, a 1000 defied a stay at home order to attend the rallies. i has been fueled by a mandatory cobit shot order for construction workers adding to the regents harsh log down measures. the me the

the the reviews can you go home tonight? the very person the

meanwhile there was trillion prime minister and faith. people need to get jobs if the want restrictions to end. 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 is. want you just feel facts and i did. and we can ensure that a strike can go forward and not be held back. and early in the week, victoria state law enforcement calls for the ask face of melbourne to be restricted to police helicopters, news office challenge, the plan with a court ruling that trump us could fly with police approval was training affairs unlisted given rosner gave us his beyond that law suspicion is i 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 answering the free praise, you're entering a very, 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 prints 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 politicization that could he upstream police brutality. we're saying it is an attempt to crush people who crushed into 2 baldly tight down. people who disagree with these insane and n p. freedom locked and was going straight to the boss alone were observed throwing bottles of police setting vehicles on font and lading. restaurants, in a 2nd night of intense protests,

i live on a band of the festival, on the beach, on the jubilant atmosphere devolved into tales. police report of the dozens of people were injured. in the melee, at least, says the demonstrators have been detained. firefighters were called to the scene as protest to set fire to motorcycles within the vicinity of the beachfront. so you're up to date, more news about certain that is fine up next to nancy international is going to ground. and for our, you cave years a day. crosstalk, ah, i me

ah, ah, the ah, i'm actually here we're going underground broadcasting the stories drowned out by mainstream media noise coming up in the show. as the u. k in the u. s. means they deal with australia nuclear submarines at the expense of france. we asked the australian director of the nobel peace prize winning international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. if this could be the opening salvo of the war on china and suspicions rise about tax bailouts for every brand that has like black rock, we speak to one former black rock managing director, fighting trickle down economics for the rights of many to pay more taxes or more

coming up in today's going underground at 1st at the un general assembly, which finishes today in new york, u. s. president joe biden said bombs and bullets can defend against coven 19 or future variance. but that hasn't stopped minting a new security packed with the u. k, it straight to build a fleet of nuclear submarines while un secretary general antonio terrorist warns of a new cold war, what will be the true cost of further western nuclear proliferation? joining me now from sidney is the australian director of the nobel peace prize winning international campaign to abolish nuclear weapons. jim ramos, thanks so much jim for coming on as the australian director. i'm going to ask you, 1st of all, what your reaction was when you 1st heard about the submarine deal. probably expressions a bit like president macro, but for different reasons. maybe. yeah, it moves shocks and it doesn't really make sense and we.
