him and off to your desk. 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 and dying? that's usually what it's about. it's just the sheer unfairness of it all. the angler knuckles policy appears to have come up short in germany's federal election as the rival social democrats inch ahead for the 1st place. and the preliminary results will have special coverage billed to be an extremely tight race for the chance to ship in the week stores here and i'll have the russian sales pair. me more. the loss of 6 people killed in the universe to shooting. our correspondent traces the steps of the gunman. deadly rom page. this is the exact road the perpetrator took while he was carrying out his vicious planet

francais political dialogue with a name who is non existent as the us and britain struggle to come french and get a security password trailer. ah, the latest news on the week's top stories, this is the weekly on our team to national with media. paula, thanks for joining us. the preliminary vote count is now in for germany's parliamentary election with this social democratic party in 1st place, just the head of mac or c, d. he in 2nd, making chances a pe, greenfield, the departing chancellor chosen successor. the

polls indicate that support from cross c d. c, su, policy has shrunk, and they probably last vote in 2017 initial results of the social democrats and believe with 25 percent. and they really christian democrats in the 2nd place with 24 point one percent of the fed is the green policy. we have 14.8 percent. that can be free democratic policy with 11.5 percent. the alternative for germany party gone is 10.3 percent and the left sponsor interest under the 5 percent threshold. let's click more closely. i will divert mean german's one directly choosing a chancellor. there were electing members of the been to stock who will now go about picking a chocolate lead will in practice is always a coalition government to receive 2 bonded papers. the 1st for a concert in the direct electoral district, there are 299 such constituents as across the country and the 2nd validus of our

political party. there are $47.00 of them vying for thieves at only parties, but more than 5 percent of the votes nationwide can and they burn the song with no single party expected to secure an absolute majority. coalition talk inevitable. peace only breaks down the possible options. if the vote close on 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 if i makes fairly it's is in. i'm happy to see so many here today. and of

course i'm happy about the election results. not 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 is that many germans 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 shown, solo is 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 pull back in 2017. i mentioned the christian social union in bavaria for 32.5 percent. if that comes in the around that well, that would be the lowest numbers they'd posted since 1949 spare thought the conservative block set for pops the worst ever showing in the bond this doug. 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 a part of the next government us all this is nick, a 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 cannot be satisfied with the results. and yet the outcome of elections still unclear this will be on top of it current. yet sean sagen? 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 in the center left. that's what's rural germany for the last 4 years or likely 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 cold 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 on 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 colors of disney's mouse. that's the rates of the social democrats, the black, the conservative union, and the yellow falls, they free democrats and is particularly popular with business. not so much with anybody else. that brings us onto to national flag coalition is 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 one. 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 zada, who's the leader of the various christiy and social union. the quite fun thieves 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 coffee, the green, the green. they want to see more taxes and a pro environmentalist agenda that they may have to hammer out coalition talks before they involve the parties that have won the lion's share of the vote. because if those to conform a coalition, if they can work together, then they can be the king, make it 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. let's take a closer. ok. well each of the 3 leading part is stands for the social democrats, which are in the lead on to see much more transactional climate change. and they are in favor of new immigration and free trade. the policy also support the creation of the european army while upholding germany's nate who commitments and

the s p d is good ties of russia as vital for european p. second in the polls is the c d. c a few lines which are until now it's fronted by angular. michael campaign slogan is to make good things in the post era. they're promising to title immigration rules and comp. taxes for low to middle income work is and on foreign policy, they see relations of russia and china as the main challenges facing germany was just over 24 percent of the vote. the current election there was since the end a world war 2. now the green policy with over 14 percent of the vote, seeks to combat climate change and develop infrastructure. there are also in favor of more immigration and a rise in the minimum wage while also supporting a universal basic income. despite the proving of germany's naser membership, they stand against nuclear weapons. and the green on top of 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 deliver as quick enough as roads are closed due to the annual math. and also how this sunday angular merkel is preferred choice in the political race on, in lash at rob everyone's attention at putting station when he accidentally revealed his ballot to photographers as it was already held in. and we'll discuss with the new government might look like with dr. rick bronx, and profess at european studies at stanford university in the lane. and steven meisner, a political, unless 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. 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 correlation between the social democrats and the question them a credit union would allow swap of places that 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 after makeover that i don't see this happening. so they will be something like a free party coalition. and that can take a long time until they agree on what is that nailed down in a coalition treaty. c, d. u has never had any 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, that's the voice of a germany and exit polls and jones,

the country could be, had it for a change of direction with the s b, just slightly ahead of marco's, c, d. c. as you still too close to cold, but we're will be keeping you updated as those results come in. the 7 troops have been on a heightened state of alert at the cost of a border. as a convoy of 7 tons was reported, observed heading towards course of a soviet is circulating online, such as the great is deploying is troops and the story. pensions with br siena. the escalation, follow the course of a decision to require been drivers entering the region to obtain a new license plate issued by cost to vehicle registration. officers have been

a talk near the border in reaction courses. prime minister says is provoking an international conflict. individuals and 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. so sad that does not recognize its form province of course, as a separate nation and thus considers them mutual border as only a temporary boundary. b, u has called on both sides to defuse the tensions costco and serbia must find

solutions to diffuse the situation and agree on the way forward. the e. 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 wellbeing of local communities and international affairs analyst, marco gothic and so then canadian film director, boris molig, gorski thing, the cost of those behavior and overall tensions 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 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 prime minister of the so called republic also with minute you start mary's name with mit it. that was essentially a colony of the west. and this basically means that nothing that costs more 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 the 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. what we have here is a us attempt to up up the answer as well. that seems to be happening is that things are too quiet for washington's place and their 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 unilaterally creating a crisis. so any concessions should be by then we should basically be de escalation of that tendency to escalate the why the picture we have i was say, washington advising the paintings. we have a president, routine 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 analogy a little situation by proxy with albany and using performing the usual quisling

role of appeasing the empire. that seems to be around at the time the central russians have perm isn't morning after this week's and university gun masika. 6 people were killed on monday, allegedly by student and classmates, described as a silent and lonely teenager. i'm just warning you may find the following image or disturbing. another 40 people were wounded in the shooting. most of them students, many are still fighting for their lives on constantino roscoe 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 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 doesn't use the me i didn't have it, but when i was leaving university, a group of people had already gathered that. it turns out that we had 15 minutes earlier. we could have been in that situation. it was very scary. we usually can be a building next time we are in the 1st building and out that it was this little saved us 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 didn't. we saw a guy walking across the square holding a gun. aiming at our building. he fired a shot and then disappeared from our line of sight. we realized we had to do something. a bit of the suspend 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. we met the suspect, former classmates who 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 on to quibble when he was quiet and shy, not very sociable and he always slower when he walked in the news of the game that day. he walked differently. that day. he worked with confidence quickly with broad steps. 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. it's a high interest. you apparently hadn't found anything odd about this quite young man. there was even footage taken in one of the gun stores on the outskirts of berm

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 had there 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 and quickly running into the attacker who opened fire. that officer constantine 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 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 bruce and us crumbling to me. and i read to france after fine lining that i live in a security parks with us trailer biden. has now admitted it was wrong just trying to deal behind paris the bank. that's also the french defense troops that political dialogue within nato has all but disappeared. latitude is it as unique. the attitude of the united states toward the submarine program is a further investigation of the asian that we have been making for month to day. political dialogue is non existent within the atlantic. lions. and i'll say is, don't call, have a force now on the cracks,

appearing within the western military alliance. and how the british prime minister is handling the pressure what, what do you say? you have going on to say every 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 in 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 the spat 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 technology. it is not exclusive, i did not trying to to shoulder anybody. i did not at the stereo towards china. 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, metal was considered by france a month ago, the year to go back to my whole as brain dead, a brain dead alliance,

best 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, cruising around china with us. this is not the way nature was conceived, and it shouldn't be there. your opinions 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, maintain 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 a long down? ronnie's in the trillion hills. melbourne have led to some brutal encounters with

police. when video has surfaced of a man being held to the ground and was trained states police say they are investigating the case. just a warning, some disturbing foot of your head, the o over 9 to people who are rested in melbourne on saturday during a sakes of to have unrest covey cases that have been on the rise since july, but 1000 defined to stay at home order to attend the rallies and is been fueled by a mandatory cove. it showed order for construction workers adding to the regions harsh, looked on measures. the me

the me the the reviews, the

very person, the, the bills training from minister says people need to get jobs. have 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 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, the tourist, a law enforcement caused for the s face of melbourne to be restricted to police helicopters, news has challenged the plans with a court ruling that choppers could fly with police approval, trillion and fast unless to give in roles. and that gave us hazy on that was

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. 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 that the broadcast media. once you have the police answering the free press, you are entering a very, very dangerous territory. we are using a terrorism police officer on australian citizen on protest. we shouldn't have a situation where police try to suppress free protest this baldly 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 upstream police brutality. we're saying it is an attempt to crush people who cross to thing to, to baldly. take down, people who disagree with these insane and emp freedom locked animals.

demonstrators in barcelona were observed throwing bottle that police, setting vehicles on font and looting restaurants. in a 2nd night of intense protests. the divine is roughly at the end of a festival on the beach. as the jubilant atmosphere devolved into tales police resulted, the dozens of people were injured. in the malay, at least, the demonstrators have been detained. firefighters were called to the scene, as protested, said fy 2 motorcycles within the vicinity of the beach front. so you're up to date joined my colleagues. well, research shane about settlement is time for non use up next on all seem to national if the cost talk and for our you cave years, it's all mentoring. ah,
