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 headlines hero and i think germany's social democrats declare victory as election results give them a not road lead. while the party of outgoing chancellor, anglo merkel slums to an historic load, the painting 15 heading to the course of a border, admitted dispute over road access and felt great acute as well housed, turning a blind item provocations from the break away regional u. k. person is accused of inhumane treatment over

a t that teenage inmate who lost her child off and giving birth alone in hotel authorities and often counseling for the prison government. but not the mother. i well, good morning from moscow where it's just after 9 am on monday. this is our team to national with me will research. so the results are now in with germany's federal election with the outcome set to determine who will replace anglo merkel as chancellor. and what will be the 1st change at the top in 16 years. the and with all votes counted, it's a narrow wind for the center left social democrats party later schoultz has

declared victory saying he has a mandate now to lead the nation. angela vocals, christian democrats trailing and 2nd, followed by the greens and europe correspondent, peter oliver. in berlin with a full breakdown of the vote. and now what this means for germany. 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, this election, they wanted in the terms that they collected the most amount of votes. it doesn't mean that they directly get to form a government just yet will have more not just let wild gen and politics never as simple as that. and yes, when it comes down to clear winners and losers, the winners have been the social democrats thinking of 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. but this is one of the biggest comebacks in lazarus. and it's no wonder that they're mon,

the chancellor. all at schultz is sounding pretty pleased with himself. hopefully 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 up and that's a big success. this will be a long election night for sure, but what for 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 laughed shots, while the green party will also go down as big when is from miss election, they put on an extra 5.8 percent from what they posted back in 2017. they were partying things at 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 winners. 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, they're very insist upon the, the kristi and social union who certainly fall into that biggest loser county category. it's the lowest numbers that they've posted since the 2 parties have come together back in 72 years ago. really huge question. so exactly what went wrong. that's going to be a big old top see when it comes to what's happened within the center. right. but they still have a chance of maintaining power. this is of course, angular merkle party or was angular merkle, 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 bone, the psych book because they 13 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. above his did. it's clear that this was a punch in the gut and it really hurt. and of course, we lost massively. anything else would be unrealistic to claim gonzagos says i get the result we will achieve nationwide is disastrous. there is no need to discuss it at all full 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. counting the votes as 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 in the center, right. that looks unlikely though. 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 of the party coolest other colors of a traffic light. then there are 3 different coalitions made up of the colors of various national flags of kenya, 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, a miracle? life alpha, dr. verona j pat felt professor over political systems on comparative politics, joining us ly, throwing off into national a very good morning to use a s t p leader shalt saying he now has a mandate to lead the country. did you think you'll be able to form a coalition to become the next chancellor? well, he tried to do though, and the green parties really willing to join him. the open question is the rest of the liberals who are playing the role of the king maker where to join these

coalition. because i know that we lose a significant part of their voters. it's a joy, this coalition. otherwise, germany needs a government and if the green party will not enter a coalition with the christian democrats who try to will not government themselves well, then all of shows will certainly be next. taylor counsellor, you mentioned the greens and the greens got almost 15 percent of the vote. the best ever result, frankly, and they're all but guaranteed a place in any coalition. how much influence could the greens have? do you think? well, the greens have already right now, a very significant influence on german policy making. one of the reasons being that the christian democratic party herself has adopted many positions of the greens of the green main issues like climate change or changing driven energy policies. have already played a significant part in this electoral campaign. it's a green party who sets the issues which are debated. it's a green party with rob,

the social democrats, of the christian democrats to follow the path. so they are really a significant part of german political life. dr. pat. so the, the election results are the worst ever anglo merkel, c d u party, and the ruling lions. what has gone so badly wrong for them do you thing? well, 1st of all, it doesn't come as a surprise said f, the 60 years off the c d o being empower people in germany, one of the different government. this is something which usually is expected in democracy. second, and even more important, the c d. u, under the rule of america is adopted so many positions of the social democrats of the green parties. the christian democrats have cockpit to put a right way, social democratic and grim policies that voters now have the impression, well, why don't you vote for the regional or not only for the christian democrats as a copy of these policies?

so the general minds in germany is leading towards the social democrats and towards the greens. i'd say a for b, c. and you will have to accept the road of an opposition party. now angle american, who, some of called the matriarch of europe, some called her the queen of the continent. obviously, she's been a major thinking for 16 plus years in germany. how much do you think her departure could affect the face of the union? well, german foreign policy interests are not dependent very much on who is in government . there is a broad content on the european policies in germany. so i do not think that the big lines of german foreign policy will change. of course, if germany is struggling to for the new government, the trevor leadership road within the european union will not be played as effectively as angular place done. and if you want to be a conductor off a orchestra of 27 different states than unique personal authority,

and without any doubts, next counsellor will need a couple of years to get as much pressure authority as i'm going to berkeley head. so it will, things may change, things will change, but not in the graham's lines of trim foreign policy making. what about, what about this, this new new man, olaf sholtes preparing the victory here, saying mister schultz shalt saying that he has a mandate to lead europe. of course it wasn't that long ago that angle america was getting spied on by her friends in washington. do you think all aps shoals knows potentially what he could be getting into? well, i'm not quite sure whether he really knows what he's going to get into. but the main problem of all or charles is not for him policy. the main problem is that his party is much more leftist than he's right now. he presumably will suffer the same bad faith that which with german chancellor has been suffering from. he was

really under the pressure of the left part of his own party and the good not to make that policy wanted to make. this will be with what all our shows has to count for the future. because the social democratic party to repeat it is much more left to say all the furniture pots, old professor of political systems on comparative politics. joining us live on this monday morning. thank you so much for your time. we appreciate it. thank you. or we'd discuss the possible outcomes from a german coalition. talks with european studies, professor old rick bruckner and political analyst. steven meisner. 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 christian democratic 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, often 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 done nailed down in a coalition treaty, c, d. u has never had any elect results anywhere close as bad as they have tonight law . she 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. and 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 the hosting is over in germany and the results appear to hand victory to the social democrats. well here on our to international will be continue our special coverage over the coming hours and days. the ah, this is anti international serbia on kosovo. caught up and yet another dispute, this time over road access. so b as troops are on high alert, near the cause of our border and video clips circulating on line suggest bell great is sending tanks to the broker or territory. this comes off the cause of our ordered serbian drive was entering the regent to obtain new license plates issued by cost of a to vehicle registration. officers have been attacked near the border and the serbian president says the disputes been building up for quite a while, but foreign powers have found, apply and die. the complete occupation of northern cost of emitter,

heezer with armand 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 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. serbia does not recognize it's for my province of cause if i was a separate nation. and thus, it considers the mutual border as only a temporary boundary of cause of our unilaterally declared his independence from serbia back in 2008, almost a decade after a war between the 2 sides and nato intervention. roughly half of us members, however, have never recognised cause of, i was independent. the e u has called on both sides to settled down. costco and serbia must find solutions to diffuse the situation and agree on the way forward. the

e. u 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 . when we discussed the situation with our international affairs analyst, marco gassett and serbian canadian film director, boris malaga ski 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 this 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 pristine 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. 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 a president, routine safety perhaps too much advice from tony lap. so you will 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

a british prison has been hit with abuse allegations offer a teenage inmate gave birth alone in her cell and then lost her child. i think insult to injury later emerge that only the gods, not the mother, received bereavement counseling afterwards. i mrs. a gave saloon and her cell live a 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. the 18 year old with an bronze fail, the prison in middlesex, and romana for a robbery charge a days of all giving. but she told gods she would kill herself if her baby was taken from her prison. officials have admitted wrong doing and said an internal investigation is ongoing. women's rights advocate, rece everson things, the head of the prison should be held accountable morning, 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, can be 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. but 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 any one's watch. so because i'm here on the program on our t french fishermen are up in arms of a plan for a new offshore wind farm off the north coast. we'll give you the full details on

that in just a moment. the oh the join me every thursday. i'm alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world. the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. me. this is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, whole community. you going the right way? or are you being direct? what is true? what is in

a world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths will remain in the shallows. ah the ah ah. just entering the 2nd book with a program here on the international, lots of stories till the come. we'll start with this one though. the pentagon is still dealing with the fall out of a botched drones drunken cobble, which did kill an entire family, though that is just one of many so called pinpoint strikes over the years i went horribly wrong. richard met her cosmo 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 k cell, 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 based on my food head of the pocket, signing tele bond 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 is 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 be 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's 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 vice that for once the mainstream media decided to do their jobs and hold the government accountable. but imagine how many other depths we don't know about. because the media abdicated their judy to the truth and help the government cover up. the murders. french fishermen are outraged over the government's plan to install new offshore wind turbines, off the north coast. during a protest, a dumped rotten fish at the doors of the regional maritime committee. of the demonstration which involved around $300.00 fishermen, started on boats and then continued to the shore. the protesters believe that wind turbines will kill fish in the area and damage the environment. that's the goal

of our protest is to alert politicians and the general public that there's 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. the senior french energy official has defended the wind farm plan saying protesters risk leaving people without any electricity. we'll re screen them and it's nothing but the week of certain people believe in their local communities without taking into consideration the common needs of our country. we do need energy. our society depends on a energy production can certainly create some disagreements or the head of a french regional fish committee, however, says the government is 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 the big political brawl over security. the new security pack, i should say, between australia the u. s. and u k. now, being a while it's our case of many diplomatic phone calls between leaders and taking place. but some experts in questioning the deal actually strengthens the participants. as ortiz down off now explains the new august 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 and 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 are not conducive to world peace. we should not get involved in an arms race. a trailer 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 maintain 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 stretched. 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 ordered submarines in a few months, time, sheets and timeframe. the suggested these new submarines and likely 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. stria has particularly energy transition and drifting 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. 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 in the nation. malaysia and new zealand have expressed the composition and sorrow or real concern that this will lead to increased proliferation pressure, militarization and a lack of certainty, 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 stria has been made, it's an ounce. and while china's recent overtures are well unlikely to win over paris, france is alienation from allies over the orchestra. curity packed, it's already a win for beijing. that's the program for this half hour here on our tea international. thanks so much for joining us. and he stories. he has an update on a you may have missed for that matter. just log on to our t thought. com way back soon with call
