that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is to response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in need together in our, our top headlines 0 and t only results from germany's election to point to a narrowed lead for the social democrats and the worst ever showing for the party of an outgoing chancellor and dilemma paying 15 heading because of i bought a few to wraps over restriction on sub drivers entering the territory and the u. k. prison is accused of an inhumane treatment over a seed age inmate who lost her child often giving us a loan in her cell teeth and offered counseling to the prison gods. but not the

mother. ah, it is just after 8 o'clock on monday morning here at moscow in a very warm welcome to you, straight into our top story for your right now here one on the internet. so the results are now in from germany. federal election with the outcome set to to determine who will replace angular merkel as chancellor. and what will be the 1st change at the top in over a decade and a half. the germany's social democrats narrowly lead the way, with 26 percent of the vote, leaving the ruling christian democrats trailing in 2nd place, a support for angela marco's c d. u. c. s. u has shrunk considerably since the last

vote 4 years ago, and is now the lowest since the lions was created 72 years ago. in 3rd place in the green party followed by the free democratic party and alternative for germany. the left part is very narrow, a fail to get past 5 percent threshold, but will still be represented in the bundis dog as it managed to win 3 constituencies. now, all ballots have been counted, although the result won't be considered official until it's announced by the election agency a couple of weeks from now. with reminder of how the system works, german voters don't directly choose the chancellor. they elected members of the button to start with al, go about picking a chancellor to lead him. practice is always a coalition government. the results from sunday's votes suggested coalition talks, could drag on for several weeks. well, let's cross life to berlin and get some more on this. is peter oliver joining us this morning. good morning. you peter sholtes,

celebrating victory and saying he's ready to lead germany. could you, could you break down the results and tell us what comes next? yes, these preliminary result results are written. they usually fairly accurate. we won't get the official result for a little while yet. but what it shows is the social democrats have won the selection. they've won it in the term that they've collected the most amount of vote. it doesn't mean that they directly get to form a government just yet will have more or not just in the wild. jen and politics. never as simple as that. yes. when it comes down to clear winners and losers, winners have been the social democrats picking up almost 26 percent of the vote. when you look at the fact that just before the summer this year, they were polling it 10 percent lower than not. well, this is one of the biggest comebacks in lazarus, and it's no wonder that there man, the chancellor, olaf schultz, is sounding pretty pleased with himself. why makes the affiliates as in i'm happy

to see so many here today, and of course, i'm happy about the election results. the germans have decided, the social democrats are on their way and that's a big success. this will be a long election like sure. but what's the certain as well is 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, oh, lasha. well, the green party will also go down as big when, as from this election, they put on an extra 5.8 percent from what they posted back in 2017. they were partying things. that green party headquarters on sunday night into the early hours of monday morning, along with the free democrats to help pretty much around what they got back in 2017 . they look almost certain to be the king makers when it comes to forming a new government. so those are the win is have

a look at the loses because whether our win is that has to be loses and it is the center, right? conservative union of the christian democratic union and their bavarian sister party, the christie and social union, who certainly fall into the biggest loser county category. it's the lowest numbers that they posted since the 2 parties have come together back in 72 years ago. really huge questions. so exactly what went wrong. there's going to be a big old topsy when it comes to what happened within the center. right. but they still have a chance of that maintaining power. this is of course, angular merkel party or was angular merkel party the outgoing german chancellor. and know the party going into the loses category would be the left. they dropped off massively from what they posted back in 2017. in fact they, they fell below the 5 percent the you actually need to get into the boat, the stock book because they won 3 constituencies out. right. what that means is

they have to wait on by the skin of the teeth. the electoral commission has announced that they will get 39 seats in the next parliament, left party leadership. they recognize this hasn't been a good time for them. of his theory, it's clear that this was a punch in the gut, and it really hurt so much. and of course, we lost massively. anything else would be unrealistic to claim done baggage or so i gave the result we will achieve nationwide is disastrous. there is no need to discuss it at all. so stop. secondly, we should get out of the habit of blaming every one but ourselves. it is important to be self critical and analyze the mistakes we made was counting. the votes is the easy bit bo, it's forming coalitions that will be the real tricky thing. following this federal election, the possibilities are well, many you could still have a grand coalition that's between the center left and the center. right. that looks

unlikely though, you could still have the red red, green coalition that also would be in the minority. instill looks slightly unlikely, considering the poor showing of the left party. you then could have a traffic light coalition made up of the social democrats, the greens on the free democrats called traffic like coalition because where the party call this article is of a traffic light. then there are 3 different coalitions made up of the colors of various national flags up can yet jamaica, or germany counting the votes. as i said, the easy bit, we are still a long way out for finding out what the next government of germany will look like. and who will be the chancellor to replace angle america? i peter, thank you for that. we discuss what the new government might look like with dr. alrick, a book, nara professor of european studies at stanford university in berlin. and steven meisner, political 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 lead 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 that 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. the tv was in such a bad condition after makeover that i don't really 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, c, d. u has never had any electric 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. so voting is over in germany, and the results appear to have victory to that of the social democrats. so well here on our team will be continuing our special coverage, particularly over the coming hours the just on a temp on the out here at moscow, serbia's troops are on high alert, near the cause of the border and made a dispute over the vehicle access a video clip circulating on line suggested belt. great is sending tanks to the territory which is which it considers i should say to be a part of serbia. now this comes off the cause of our ordered serbian drive is entering the region to obtain a new license plate. issued by the cause of

a 2 vehicle registration offices have been attacked near the border and the serbian president says the disputes been building up for a while, but has been completely ignored by foreign powers. the complete occupation of northern cost of and met with arm it's because by parishioner has been going on for the past 7 days. and everyone in the international community stays thunderously silence. individuals in groups whose activities and danger 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. sylvia does not recognize its former province of kosovo as a separate nation. and thus it considers the mutual border as only a temporary boundary. kosovo unilaterally declared is independence from serbia back in 2008, almost a decade after a war between the 2 sides and nato intervention. roughly half of un members,

however, have never recognized cause of i was independent. the view has called on both sides to diffuse current 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 answer be and lead as a fully responsible for any risks to the safety and well being of local communities . we draw mental national affairs analyst, marco gassett, shonda, serbian canadian film director bar a smaller girl ski. and they think weston policies on kosovo, have made matters worse. 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 started mary's name with mit it. 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 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 is it. what seems to be happening is that things are too quiet for washington's place, 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, by a leadership advised by washington behaving unilaterally creating a crisis. so any concessions should be by there, we should basically be de escalation of that tendency to escalate the why the picture we have, i would say washington advising the paintings. we have president bush taking

perhaps too much advice from tony lap. so you really have western participants on both sides in a way we are. we have here just to kind of analogy a political situation by proxy with albany and using performing the usual quisling role of appeasing the empire. that seems to be around at the time labor british person is being hit with abuse allegations after a teenager inmate gave birth alone in her cell and then lost her child. adding insult to injury later emotion, only the gods, not the mother received bereavement counseling after the tragedy. i

mrs. a gave me loan in her cell live night without medical assistance. no one responsible for mrs. a. care had a full history of her pregnancy. maternity services at brownfield were out dated and inadequate. the response to mrs. ays request for a nurse was completely inadequate. there was no pediatric or neo natal emergency equipment in the prison. ah, the 18 year old was in a bronze field prison in middlesex, on remind for a rubbery charge. apparently its our 1st time in prison. the young woman was on remind, facing a charge of robbery days before giving birth. she told gods she would kill herself if her baby was taken from her prison officials of admitted wrong bearings and said, an internal investigation is getting underway. a women's rights activists advocate,

i should say, a receptive and things the head of the prison should be held to account more though, the horrors that we continue to see with human rights violations, specifically for incarcerated people, but also for women. this is a common experience throughout the private prison that we've got to really get more serious about human rights laws and realizing that we, we owe each other a duty to treat one another humanely. and even if you have been found to have been, you know, kind of convicted of a crime, there's still a duty to treat you with humanity. and that's not, that's clearly not been the case. and if there is such a large gap in what needs to happen versus what's actually happening, and you have to do a complete overhaul for more importantly, we have to call for accountability for the head of that prison. there are certain

protections that need to be put in place and they simply were not here. that's unacceptable. there's, there's no, there's no understanding or no, no, no reasonable explanation for how something like this could happen on anyone's watch. depends on is still dealing with a fall out of a botched drone strike in cobble which killed an entire family. but that's just one of the many so called pinpoint strikes over the years that went horribly wrong. richard met host has more on august 29th. the u. s. carried out a drone strike in coal, killing 10 civilians of the i'm of the family. 7 of them were children. originally they said it was an ice this case so, but it quickly became clear that they had massacred an innocent family. instead, we've known this now for weeks now general mackenzie, who leaves us central command or us send. com, issued what is probably the most scripted apology ever recorded. he says that he initiated an investigation within 24 hours of the strike. even though the pentagon

had immediately said after the strike that it knows of 0 civilian casualties. why did they say that then if they weren't sure, or if general mackenzie was just about to launch an investigation. even the next day when you sent. com said it was aware that civilians may have died. they still insisted that the strike was legitimate and they were certain they had disrupted an imminent isaac k threat because of a 2nd re explosion. this is what the united states has always been doing for the last 20 years. this is there war on terror? the u. s. life so much about who it kills? apparently it's kill the same people multiple times. now clearly someone is being droned, but it obviously isn't the targets it's innocent civilians. let's consider it as a dean, how connie, the deputy leader of the gang taliban, and head of the ha connie network. america reportedly targeted him at least 4 times once in 2008, 2009 and twice in february 2010. you want to guess where mister serat,

how connie is now? he is alive and well serving as the interior minister in afghanistan, new taliban government to the united states, killed around 82 people trying to get him all for him to wind up as interior minister. another example is beta lomax food head of the pocket. stunning taliban or the he could totally bond pockets on the c. i tried killing him in 2008. instead they kill someone else the year after they tried getting him again but killed 4 other people. instead, a month later, they killed more than 30 people, still on food. 2 months later, they killed 10 others. united states has killed so many people trying to get him, that it's actually too long for me to list all of the attacks and dest you the united states even targeted a funeral on purpose, because they thought he was attending. they committed a massacre at this funeral, killing 80 people. and finally in august 2009, the c. i managed to kill him, but only after murdering close to 200 people. so hundreds of dead civilians. just

think of one guy. clearly these are the standards, the general mackenzie was talking about. so tell me who is the bigger terrorist now? these are just some of the drug stripes we know about. just imagine what the realists looks like. you know, obama called them precision stripes or anything but precise what we used to publish figures, what, how the drone program works with suspiciously low numbers of civilian deaths. and when the real numbers were leaked by whistleblower, daniel hale, who now in jail, it turns out for example, during a 5 month period, 90 percent of the people killed by drones or civilian. also consider this, even if there were no civilian casualties, right. who gave united states the right to assassinate people on another country? soil would america tolerate someone else dropping bombs on american soil? what happened to due process? you just kill people without trial. this is nothing short of mass murder. just imagine the reaction. if a foreign government murdered an american family. busy on american soil, you would never hear the end of it. and it's nice that for once the mainstream

media decided to do their jobs and hold the government accountable. but imagine how many other debts we don't know about. because the media abdicated their judy to the truth and help the government cover up the murders are still to come here. now. she's the national french fishermen are up in arms of a plans for a new offshore wind farm. we'll get the details on just a moment. the me ah, i will.

the long when i will show the wrong. when all just don't the rules. yes to shape out the same because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground in this monday headlines here on r c, a french fishermen are outraged over the government plan to install new offshore wind turbines. off the north coast. during a protest,

they dumped piles of rotten fisher at the doors of the regional maritime committee . now the demonstration which involved around $300.00 fishermen started on boats and then continue to the shore. the protesters believe that wind turbines will kill fish in the area and damage the environment. just as the goal of our protest is to alert politicians and the general public that there is a danger to the see. the problem is that they're trying to sell us those wind farms as if they were eco friendly. the truth is that they're not. a senior french energy official has defended the wind farm plans saying protesters risk leaving people without electricity will re screen them. and if you know nothing but the week of certain people's leave in their local communities without taking into consideration the common needs of our country, we do need energy. our society depends on it. energy production can certainly create some disagreements to the head of a french regional fishing committee,

however, says the government has turning a blind eye to the damage the project will cause. i believe that this whole green transition is a masquerade, a true environmental disaster. and the general public knows nothing about what is going on in the see we, the fishermen were in the see every day. so we know what problems were dealing with . unfortunately they never listen to us. only we know where wind farms can be built in a way that won't endanger the fish, at least now, the government is aware that there are protests and the fishermen are determined to never let this happen. but we will fight till the end of china is reaching out to france, seeking closer cooperation. emit a feud between paris and his west and allies over the orchestra security packed artist egos. daniel has details the new orcas security packed between us trailer, the u. k. and the u. s. was designed to counted chinese aggression. and china has indeed gone on the offensive a charm offensive. the ging is now trying to france who was not by its allies by

being left out of the deal as permanent members of the un security council. china in france shoulder the responsibility of maintaining international peace and stability, promoting global development and multilateralism. so we can and should strengthen our cooperation, which is in the interest of the whole world. arms deals on such a large scale or not conducive to world peace. we should not get involved in an arms race. estrella is counting on the u. k, to provide cutting edge nuclear submarine technology. problem is camera might be a century to lay to britain's maritime party. they are real, that we will life the capability to main hines, the vessels, and that we will be increasingly handed on us or support the terms of the all because deal are vague, with nothing concrete agreed. but it's far from obvious what britain can actually

bring to the table. british french resources are becoming increasingly and incredibly trash. i think many, even people who would support having a strong defense. and you would question whether these are the best uses, british resources, even if they wanted submarines in 18 months time, sheets and timeframe. the suggested these new submarines i'd like to be in service for at least a decade. the us, on the other hand, is at the very edge of nuclear sub technology. the only problem is it's subs. they don't come cheap. this figure will fall out of control. is a message saying that boy is the money away from real name to the right. has particularly energy transition, interesting climate trying but also can all make resilience and also the actual living needs of many people in this country. so if a strayer, whose budget is absolutely dwarfed by the pentagons once to obtain

a fleet of atomic submarines he'd had better start looking for money right now. a strain his decision to try and square up to china could some fear now lead to a regional arms race with other nations in the, in the pacific potentially feeling the need to take sides many nations in the pacific, indonesia, malaysia and new zealand have expressed a thing composition and sorrows, or real concern that will lead to increase proliferation pressure, militarization, an elective anti trust and confidence in the region. there's already been folks in japan and south korea about their submarine plate. developing a nuclear capability given since astray has been made announcements, and while china's recent overtures well unlikely to win over paris, france is alienation from allies over the orca security packed. it's already

a win for beijing or just getting warmed up here on this monday morning. live from moscow. 826. now in the morning here in the russian capital, plenty of your monday headlines still to come when we return at the top of the hour . the the join me every thursday on the alex simon show. when i was speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business, i'm show business. i'll see you then me. the lack of universal health care makes america the country of every man for himself. we have a retirement crisis in this country and we have

a health care crisis for seniors in this country as well. so private business has come up with special mechanism for that. it's called a life settlement market. we are a life settlement provider, which means that we buy life insurance policies from primarily seniors throughout the united states who no longer want or cant afford their life insurance policies. if you are 2nd for want to live a few more years, you can sell your life insurance. that way you get more money right away and the company collects your insurance payment off to your dad. there's a group of people out there. i get hoping that people die soon. what kind of motivation is i give them? when i start crying about him dying, that's usually what it's about. it's just the sheer unfairness of it. all of that was

going to come for you. let me know. you know, when you're, when the country for putting up your child in law school, what they knew fail from well, was the 1st one or as long as we speak, this is live live. let's hope she went to look for the fact that answers your marriage matrix. i don't want, i me, ah, way we look the color of our eyes and the shape of our nose. these traits are all
