get in there though angela merkel would be perhaps forced to form a coalition would she go for the so-called grand coalition between the c.d.u. and the social democrats would have to wait to see if that happened a lot of social democrat supporters would be uncomfortable with the last time that happened with in two thousand and five so it's all going to come out over the coming hours to find out just exactly what the what the results are from the selection but it's also on it's almost nailed on the angle of merkel will be chancellor for a third term or his people over there in berlin let's go now to editor in chief of compaq magazine you're going he's live in berlin so what are the leaders of those economically struggling european countries going to make of angular merkel's dominant position after these early results. you know the position of i'm going to make a list very much strengthened by this the result is the best result of the democrats since decades. distance to the next part of the social democrats is seventeen per cent that is historical victory for america and these not of their st

if they were to get in there, merkel would be perhaps forced to form a coalition. would they -- she to for the so-called grand slam coalition between the c.d.u. and the social democrats? we'll have to wait to see if that happens. a lot of social democrat supporters would be uncomfortable with that. it's all going to come out in the coming hours to find out just fact -- exactly what the firm results are from this election. the -- odds on angela merkel will be the chancellor for a third term. >> editor in chief of compact magazine says the smaller parties could have capitalized more on the recent surveillance scandal that hit the merkel government. >> the german population is very much upset because of the spying of the n.s.a. on german citizens and industry but it had no impact on the elections because the opposition parties were not willing to bring this topic on the top of their election campaign because the green party and social democrats, they are also following the american agenda and they are also strongly in favor of trans atlantic orientation, so they did no

would be the first time in more than half a century a party has been able to govern without forming a coalition a main challenger and leader of the social democrats has conceded defeat. has more on the elections from berlin. merkel is almost certainly going to be elected for a third term as german chancellor her c.d.u. party and their bavarian sister party the c.s.u. have taken the lion share of the vote speaking to speaking at a party headquarters mrs merkel said it was a super result in fact it's the it's the the exit polls are correct it's the highest percentage that live taken since one thousand nine hundred ninety so they've done remarkably well it would seem the c.d.u. berthed those that haven't done very well it seems are the main challenges. in this election the social democrats they have been rather disappointing we've seen some dejected looking s.t.p. campaigners and supporters outside of their party headquarters sort of people putting that down to what was essentially a gaffe prone campaign that was run by. the challenger to angle or merkel that included him at one point giving a mid

so de facto, we had a grand coalition on these issues. herefore, i wouldn't expect a major shift. there might be nuances here or there. my main worry in the near term is that some of these key decision items that are on the agenda right now might be dragged into the coalition talks, which i would expect to be drawn out and so difficult. >> thanks for that, elga. thanks to geoff and annette. they'll be back, as well. >>> airbus has been flying high after confirming a large order with lufthansa for 25 jets. stephane is looking ahead to this. we heard michael o'leary from ryan air last week when he was trying to talk about this, you know, $10 trip to the states he want to try to get in in the future. he complained he can't get the airplanes. >> yeah. well, that's a long way away. for the time being, we'll look at the forecast for the next year. probably this is what we're expecting. airbus is going to increase to raise guidance for the next 20 years. at the time last year, airbus paid a $27,350 aircraft would be necessary over the next 20 yea

. >> but now they need a coalition partner, and guess what is suddenly back on the table -- tax hikes. >> sources close to conservative leadership state taxes remain a no go area, but the cd you will have to give some ground to find a partner. >> i don't want to see higher taxes, but voters did not give us an absolute majority. that is why we cannot rule out anything and we talk with potential partners. >> is the cdu preparing the ground for talks or simply reneging on campaign promises? >> if i were in their position, i would make some kind of concessions. for such a strong party, they have to deal somewhere, otherwise they will not find a partner. >> if they want to govern, they have to approach the opposition. they need to show some flexibility. >> the cdu would be cheating voters. it would amount to election fraud. >> the issue of taxes is one of the defining fiscal policy differences between the conservatives and is good democrats, and the spd is refusing to budge. >> taxing top bracket incomes to reduce debt and finance more investment is part of the spd election platform and re

an oath to rule out rights with the majority and they've lost their former coalition partners going into this election there was acenter right coalition here in germany with the. the free democrats now the free democrats of well they've they've gone into self-destruct mode in this campaign and lost more than ten percent of the votes that they had last time around they aren't they actually don't have enough seats now to make it into the parliament so that means that mrs merkel is going to have to look elsewhere for a new coalition partner now the deal between the social democrats the party's term the grand coalition here in germany it's what she presided over during her first term in two thousand and five however what we were hearing from from social democrats supporters last night was there were a little uncomfortable about entering into that type of deal again after being part of that partnership in two thousand and five they got a bit of a kicking from the electorate in two thousand and nine saying that they'd have to sell out on too many of their core principles if that does come about next time hammer out tha

a great visionary. you could say that is what she is all about. the grand coalition is actually a better chance to establish a consensus around what germany's role in europe could be and should be. in those matters there is probably more overlap between the sdu and fdp. they took away those among that typical voters of the fdp and the fdp because it was in the government could play out. in the end he could not do anything. i think that for europe, the stability of the grand coalition is rather good news. >> to answer the question, what is the plan that it grand coalition would have for europe? >> i do not think they have one yet. which is exactly -- they have ideas about continuing, maybe muddling through. everything else, the strategy was so far not to have a grand plan. the question is can germany afford not to have a grand plan or europe question mark >> they do not want to have germany to have a leading role. germany does not want to be the leader. they are the natural either because of their size and their power. someone put it like they do not want to -- a germ

a question about the coalition. how does it take place. does it take a few weeks. >> party leaders will sit down, there'll be working groups, energy policy, internal policy, they be a coalition treaty will be written, which will be the basis for the government for the next four years. >> thank you. that was a member of the governing board of the christian democratic union, whose headquarters we are at. >> let's bring in joan who has been watching berliners digest early results. we hear about angela merkel's personal popularity in germany, is that the sentiments amongst the people you have been speaking to today? >> let's be clear, she has critics. it would be extraordinary after eight years if a leader did not. she has immense and popular appeal here because, of course, her record speaks for itself. she has delivered on the economy, she has delivered the country to growth and prosperity when it was in the doldrums. her message to the electorate was stick with me, you know who i am, what i can do. we are doing so well, and this is not a time

that's why we're probably always going to have a grand coalition. no one experiments with that. >> clearly from here, the german people at least see her as a safe pair of hands when it comes to managing the crisis. andreas clug with the economist. ross, we'll send it back to you. >> plenty more to come from you both. log onto the website and you can read the opinion piece and why germany needs to repair its frayed relationship with the european trading partners. follow us on twitter @cnbcworld. we had the pmi out. it beat forecasts for a rise of 51.9. break that down. services doing better than manufacturing. services 51.1. the manufacturing slipping from 51.1 in september. this is all september from 51.8. the german manufacturing pmi partly responsible for that. joining us with his thoughts, chris is a chief economist at market. chris, what's the key take away? how much concern is there over german manufacturing slipping? what's that down to? >> still expanding, just at a slower rate. >> yes, indeed. previous months have been particularly good reall

what history has shown is each time a party entered a coalition as a junior member it always ended up saying in the polls. look between 2005 and 2009, the social democrats lost one million votes. look at the junior member of the government. they are not even in parliament. this is unheard of. this is the first time since the second world war that the liberals failed to pass the 5% threshold to be in parliament. being the junior is always an uncomfortable position. the fdp is not sure what they need to do. do we need to stay in the opposition or enter the coalition question mark if we enter the coalition, we want to lay out our conditions. angela merkel is so strong. she has such wonderful results behind her that she will be in a position to negotiate tough and hard. >> thank you. let's go back to nairobi where the siege on the mall is still underway. you can see from the latest picture the plumes of black smoke coming out of the mall. we have been getting reports it could be linked to a rescue operation by the kenyan police force. one anonymous source did tell reuters news agency ever

social research and he thinks a conservative party's invitation to the rightwing group to form a coalition government could be a rather risky maneuver. it is a gamble and the problem party is has never been in government before if you have radical policies in terms of economic policy in terms of immigration policy so it's going to be a difficult. conservative party when they're going to negotiate about the governing platform after the election but we have seen a shift toward the right. in several of the last election is in norway and seem to be doing so in large numbers this year. are still to come here we're spending more on spending less government on the fire off at the expense of his departments cost cutting practices were revealed details of that story and the rest of the world's top headlines for this hour in just a mike. told me my language as well but i will only react to situations i haven't read the reports so let's put the no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point to. secure a car as i'm going to talk you know. thank you no more weasel words. w
