the who's ah, so bad lines are, we're not going to national germany. the social democrats declaring victory as election results. give them a narrow lead. while the party of outgoing chancellor, anglo marco love and historic low times the scene heading to the cause of a border amid a dispute over road access, fell great. acute has various will powers of turning a blind eye to provocations from the break away regions. and the prison proven the u. k. reveals a series of failing in the case of a teenager inmate who lost

a newborn child. miss a gave birth alone in her cell overnight without medical assistance. no one responsible for miss a care headed full history of her pregnancy. maternity services ad bronze field for outdated and inadequate. ah, what is the big day for you? well by news headline fly from moscow. of course this is the international. however, it is a big day for germany straight into our top story right now. the results are in from germany's federal election, with the outcome said to determine who will replace angela merkel as chancellor in what will be the 1st shake off at the top in 16 years. the ah and so with all votes counted, it is

a narrow wind for the centre left social democrats party leader. sholtes has declared victory saying he now has a mandate to lead the nation. i'm villa, medical it's christian democrats are trailing in 2nd, followed by the greens and for a full breakdown of the vote. and what it means for germany is our correspondent peter oliver. 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, how would they select, should they want it in the terms that they've 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. but yes, when it comes down to clear when it and loses, the winners have been the social democrats picking up almost 26 percent of the vote . and 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 the mon, the chancellor, all f schultz is sounding pretty pleased with himself. why makes you feel it's then? i'm happy to see so many here today. and of course, i'm happy about the election results and the germans have decided the social democrats are on their way. 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 olaf shut. well, the green party will also go down as big when it's from this 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 and their bavarian sister party, the christie and social union, who certainly fall into that biggest loser. cut agree, 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 that maintaining power. this is of course, angular merkle policy or was angular merkle, party the outgoing german chancellor, and know the party going into the loses category would be the left. and 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 the, 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 has it. 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 gonzagos or so i gave the result we will achieve nationwide is disastrous. there is no need to discuss it at all. we'll 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. all right, alternative for germany party or f dad. they lost a little bit of the vote on what they put down in 2017. but what they have done is

really established themselves as a part of jeremy political landscape. they're posting just over 10 percent in this years poll, particularly showing that they have a hotline in and around saxony, in the east of the country, counting the votes as 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 can still have a grad coalition that's between the center left and 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 articles of a traffic light. then there are 3 different coalitions made up of the colors of various national flags of 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, a miracle life?

not a christian spike, a professor of european governance. joining us from kevin, it's a very warm welcome to you today, so thank you so much for coming on off the international. the s p d. celebrating all of this as a victory, olaf, schoultz schultz. he wants to form a coalition government with the greens and the f t p. are you confident that mr. schultz is able to do that? along very confident shows obviously gained a lot of votes for the for the s p d. but then we have to realize that the s p d essentially consists of 2 parties, wallace, the so called shaw swing. the more reformed middle ground wing of the party that supports the policies that the f t p and the greens are happy to support. and then as the other wing of the party that is very much orientated to radical left wing policy policies that would like to work with. i would like to form a left wing government with the link and the greens. so i think s p d has

a lot of convincing to do in terms of the f t p, particularly to form this traffic light pollution. now, all of the indications that we're seeing are suggesting that we're going to have a lengthy case of coalition talks and we might not even know who could be the next chancellor into christmas. do you think it's dangerous to have this kind of limbo at the very, very top when you, when you've got the covey crisis and now an energy crisis as well? i don't think it's dangerous because the acting chance uncle america can stay on parliament will continue to work until a new parliament is initiated. i think it's rather problematic because our european partners, for example, also a partners outside of europe like russia and the united states will want to know where germany stands on major issues on economic issues on, on defense security, till a new government is formed. there's a lot of big unity and insecurity regarding these important questions ottoman last

year is still saying that he wants to be chung seller. the whole democratic would not be given, but around 1300000 foremost c, d u voters switch their relation to the s t p in this election and almost a 1000000 switched to the greens room where the claim is not under mccracken. we have to remember that we already had such a situation in 1970 both really problems and hand, which meant the to famous social democratic. chances were the 1st ones in terms of the number of votes of the share of the votes. that voltage costs in the 1900 seventy's and there's still a became chancellor in case of submitted was hammered, colea positionally, they had the most votes. it is again problematic because lash, it has to actually show that he has the support of his own party. particular of the sister party see a few under the leadership of suda. and if you end of the correlation with the greens and the f t p and they find out after some time that he's under constant

fire from within his own ranks. that will be something that will be problematic, but not on democrats. now, the greens, the greens got almost 15 percent of the vote that best ever result actually below most be certainly in any coalition that emerges in what one of their policy pledges . it's a scrap nord stream to the russian gas pipeline. what, what do you expect? well, they obviously want to do that, but it depends in which correlation they actually make this demand. if they govern under the s p d, then most likely to actually achieve something here. but is to govern with the c d . u and the liberals, i think they're most likely to be blocked on this issue. and so again, depends on which correlation jamaica would think is most likely to maintain this project under the s p d. as long as we follow the short swing of the party, it's most likely to come under pressure, but we will have to wait and see what happens. christian spike

a professor of european government is joining us from candidates who live on our too many things. we appreciate your time. thank you. and thanks for joining us here on archie international. so the voting is over in germany. the results appear to have victory to the social democrats here and i think we will continue on special coverage. ah ah, so so on the cause of our caught up and yet another dispute, this time, over road access. as we understand sophia's troops are on high alert, me the cause of our border and video clips circulating online suggest belgrade is sending tanks to the breakaway territory. others comes off the cause of a ordered serbian drive is entering the region to obtain new license plates issued by culture. vote a to vehicle registration. officers have been attacked as

a result near the border of the serbian president says, the disputes been building up for a while, but foreign powers have turned a blind eye. the complete occupation of nothing course of the matter. he jer with armored vehicles. my prisoner has been going on for the past 7 days, and everyone in the international community stays thunderously silent. individuals in groups, his 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. serbia does not recognize its former province of kosovo as a separate nation. and thus to consider that mutual border as only a temporary boundary. kosovo 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 recognized cause of i was independent. meantime, the us called on both sides to settled down costs of own serbia must find

solutions to defuse 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 asked our guest what's driving the balkan stand off and some of them think that tacit support from the west is encouraging cause of ode to engage in confrontation with serbia. 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 public corso with minute you started mary's name with minute. 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 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 as seems to be happening is that things are too quiet for washington's chase, 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 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 say washington advising the paintings. we have a president, would you say perhaps too much advice from tony black. so you will have western participants on both sides in a way we,

we have here just to kind of another 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 after a teenage inmate gave birth alone in her cell and then lost her child. adding insult to injury a later emerged that only the gods, not the mother received a refund counseling afterwards. i

miss a give alone in her cell overnight without medical assistance. no one responsible for miss a care headed for history of her pregnancy maternity services ad bronze field for outdated and inadequate. the response time is a request for nurse was completely inadequate. there was no pediatric gordon. neonatal emergency, we haven't in the prison. ah, the 18 year old was in a bronze field prison in middlesex on raymond for a robbery charge. days before giving birth, she told gods she would kill herself if her baby was taken from her prison officials. if i make it wrong during they say, an internal investigation is getting underway, a women's rights advocate, reese everson thinks the head of the prison should be held accountable. this is more of the do a corps 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, that 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. the french fishermen are outraged over the government's plan to install new offshore wind turbines, off the north coast. during a protest they dumped a rocking fish of the doors of the regional maritime committees. now the demonstration which involved around $300.00 of fishermen started on the boats and then continued to the shore. protesters believe that wind turbines will kill off 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 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, protested risk leading people without electricity who will be calling them. and if it is nothing but the week of certain people leave in their local communities without taking into consideration the common needs of our country,

what we do need energy. our society depends on a energy production. can certainly create some disagreements or the, the head of the french regional fisher committee, however, says the government is just turning a blind eye to the damage the project will cause. i believe that this whole green transition is a master raid, a true environmental disaster. and the general public knows nothing about what is going on and we'll see we, the fishermen were in the see every day. 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 this year are still to come on the program here on our tea, a report on drone warfare and why the targeting of a low and terrorist suspect so often leads to conflict civilian story. and after the break,

the ah, with me ah ah, i use join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the

world, the politic sport business and show business. i'll see you then. in the news. ah, your monday stories are on our team. the pentagon is still dealing with the fall out of a botched drones striking cobble, which killed a young family. it is the latest and long, long string of cases over the years where a terrorist aspect has been targeted. but it's civilians who pay the price. ortiz richard met. hers has more. on august 29, c u. s. carried out a drone strike in coal, killing tens of millions of the i'm of the family. 7 of them were children. originally they said it was an isaac 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 general mackenzie was just about to launch an investigation. even the next day when you send. 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 lie so much about who 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 serrato 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 le, my food head of the pocket, stunning taliban, or the he could tell yvonne pockets on the theory. 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. 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 death civilians just think at 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 strikes we know about. just imagine what the realists looks like. you know, obama called them precision strikes or anything but precise. while we used to publish figures what, how the drawing program works with suspiciously low numbers of civilian deaths. and when the real numbers were leaked by whistleblower, daniel hale. 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 and 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. it is that 25 minutes past the hour here in moscow, china is reaching out to france, seeking closer cooperation, limit of feud between powers and its western allies. over this new orcas security pack, it was done off, takes a closer look. the new august security packed between us trailer, the u. k. and the us 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 developments 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 strayer is counting on the u. k to provide cutting edge nuclear submarine technology. problem is camera might be a century too late to britain's maritime party. there are real that we will let the capability to maintain the vessels and that we will be increasingly handed on us, or you 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, which is the 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 masses thing that bore to 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.

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 composition and sorrows, 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 some my absence. and while china's recent overtures are well unlikely to win over paris, france is alienation from allies over the orca security packed. it's already a win for beijing. yeah, that's a good commentary on this orca story right now. the off head section of

r t dot com for the meantime. any more of your monday stories still to come? we return at the top of the hour. oh. rather driven by dreams shaped by those in me who dares think we dare to ask me?

ah, what we got to do is identify the threads that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk to me i the was i'm actually going underground broadcasting the stories.
