east. pack your bags and leave the german chancellor's office. with such calls to alternative for germany's leadership approached kolof scholz. this party received a record number of votes in the regional elections in the east of the country, while the new left from the union of sarah wagen knecht has significantly strengthened. both associations oppose the war for dialogue with russia. scholz's democrats of the entire ruling coalition showed that east germans can no longer tolerate everything that has been brought to them from the west in recent years. can people living in the territory of the former gdr change the policy of the entire country? in our report special correspondent denis davidov. there is a political earthquake in the east of germany. the results of the elections in saxony, thuringia are the main news. the results were a cold shower for the germans. there has never been anything like this in thuringia and saxony before, they should send an alarm signal to berlin. the coalition sitting in berlin lost in the east with a bang. the election of locals is a kind of vote of no conf

germany, and when these fighters for peace were asked, why does no one tell eastmany that there should be no missiles, and they did not answer anything, they fought with the americans, not with the soviets. missiles, so i think that position is absolutely obvious. tsar gehnekh believes that the west is to blame for this war, because the west did not provide russia with security guarantees, because the west is dragging ukraine into nato, and nato is threatening of russia we know all this roach. but the question is not that we know it, the question is that imagine a new german parliament in which the christian democrats will be the winners, i assure you, it is logical, so in which the social democrats will not therefore the level at which they used to be, because the greens might not be at the same level, uh, uh, there might not be free democrats, there will be a big faction of the alternative for germany, which nobody wants to deal with, and there will be an alliance, tsarevgekhneh, and imagine another grand coalition , well, maybe a repetition of the coalition of

germany, she used to be in the lift party. she is in fact a communist who came from east germany. so she speaks from an east german perspective to people in east to me. they like that to the vector is very popular in that region. and she used to be in the german socialist party and for my east germany and from the i moved on into this life policy and then eventually got thrown off more of this by the policy and established her own policy. and it's very much her personality and her conservative model, it always says start of this form of communism in which she is support. switched to some extent, appeals to people that it's kind of hawks back to old times olden times. and at the same time, she's very conservative on social issues. so i think that's what drives her popularity is really good popularity. and in her wake, the party were also expecting the party of the chancellor of schultz, the s p, the party, the social democrats to do very poorly. why has that party been losing appeal among so many of motors, especially in the east of germany? again, that's 2 features to this. um, on

, on the territory of the former east germany, more troops and weapons thant had. before the unification of germany, germany has no right to deploy on this territory there are various types of weapons, and not only nuclear weapons, but also new weapons systems, the wording is made in such a way that it extends to infinity, that is, what was signed in the nineties extends to new weapons systems that could have been, can be created after the signing of this, and most importantly, the third point, which is article 4, which states that after leaving the soviet union, this concerns the deployment of new types of missiles of possible nuclear weapons in the united germany, why are you arguing with me, there was the gdr and there was the west. no, of course, this treaty, it does not oblige anyone to anything, no, it obliges, firstly, it is an agreement to create a new united, and how to make it comply, how to make it comply, well, i can give advice, advice very, firstly, this concerns, i wanted to say again that this point, it directly concerns the decision to delive

it is not worth it, because this is the election in the east germany, yes, yes. east germany , the mood of the voters is different from the mood of the voters in the west, traditionally, despite the fact that three decades of german unity have already passed, there is no political unity, and of course the mood of the voters in the western countries will be different from the mood of the voters in the east. we will see it soon. as for sara vhne's really such success. and her alliance, it was also predicted, because sara wechnecht takes a large number of votes from the left, from the left, and by the way, in saxony the federal government was headed by christian democrats, and by the way, the head of this government, he spoke out against aid to ukraine, because it was mi- mikhail krejchmar, because it was the general line in this land, in züring, where they won so much now. with such a result of the alternative party, the government was led by leftists, the prime minister was bode ramelov, one of the leaders of the left party, and by the way, all sociological surveys

our correspondent denis davidov is monitoring the state elections in eastern germany. the eastis sick of politics. some theaters or restaurants, the social democrats - this is the party of chancellor scholz, chose a beer hall, apparently, the results here in thuringia are so deplorable that one needs to drown one's sorrows. it will not work to write everything off to a lack of interest in local elections, the turnout is off the charts, 74%. we looked at how the residents of thuringia voted at one of the polling stations in the main city of this eastern land, eirfurt. this is what a typical polling station looks like, it is located in one of the classrooms. schools in the city center, the booths are located on desks, here voters make their choice, we see that the walls are empty, there is no political agitation, here is the ballot box where the ballot is dropped, the elections are local, but their significance is enormous, as the newspapers wrote , the vote in saxony, thuringia will determine the fate of germany for years to come, three years ago this workshop was crowded, the s

germany? deaf. to understand what is happening in east germany, the criticism of these problematic democratic people left to support shops, businesses and infrastructure, these trackers, a lot has been lost. you can lose restaurants, pubs, cafe in cinema but you're losing places or people can meet and talk in under the circumstances, social media becomes even more of an attractive and influential factor. and schools can go to attract a significant amount of teachers, you will experience loss and stagnation and they feel they're not receiving their fair share of the has to offer and if you have the mindset, it is challenging to expected now that people are coming from outside of germany and also claiming a piece of the cake. with that situation is quite unique in east germany. russia's defence ministry says it has repelled what it described as a "massive" ukrainian drone attack across 14 regions and the capital, moscow, that targeted energy and fuel plants. while inside ukraine, one man was pulled alive from rubble, following a russian attack on kharkiv. at least 41 people were injured. the go

and that's something that resonates in these parts of germany where they used to be part of communist east germany. and you say at that time be very close to the former soviet union towards us today in russia. so people, there are very afraid that this will, could come into germany, could, to the effect the region and the field to some extent a connection to russia. so a docking station himself really hood party is old about her as a person, as opposed to another to she also comes from full, the east germany. she is a long term communist used to be almost you could say a start and just at times and people there, i think feel to some extent, that she understands them, that she speaks to their hearts as it were. now these are regional elections in germany. so help our international audience understand what they might tell us about what we might see down the road in terms of the national scene and national elections in germany. most likely it was possible that it will happen here for the 1st time. is that the far right as the will become the strongest party and one of these federal states tha

traditionally strongholds of the left party, the success of policy to the communist, the former east, germany. and that appears to have completely changed in these elections. and all of a sudden we see voters and looking for also the identity of the, of the east and, and in a fall, right. the migration policy, the alternative for germany. and the really interesting thing today is whether we will see messages of unity that this complicated in fi seeing 3 way coalition of all the felts and might be determined to really stick together now and get back to it and the messaging e, whether the 3 policies will now go on to into booster mode if we're ready campaigning against each other. that is something that we have seen in recent weeks and months with each of the 3 policies in the current coal as an eager to demonstrate their own profile and assess it against the other part the. so that's the big question here and by then today. oh, but what explains these results of the all seeing in the east of the country? is it all to do with the dissatisfaction over migration? it's well, it's not all to do wit

alternative for germany, the easternmost station of west germany voted for the christian democrats, this border is absolutely geographical, where it began. east germany, that's where it starts, that's where the commitment to radical parties starts, at least much larger than in the west. well, in our country, by the way, there has always been such an electoral border, long decades between that part of ukraine that was part of the russian empire, that part of ukraine, which is part of russia, in ukraine, it is also in poland, it is also in poland, that is, sub-austrian poland sub-russian poland, and this is really absolutely typical for this region, and here, when we talk about these... populist sentiments of the far right, the far left, if specifically in germany, or in eastern europe, in general, really, it's a communist bloc, really, it's an example of the fact that history is still with us, history is still not... overcome, the consequences of this communist totalitarian past have not been completely overcome, and they are manifested, even deeper consequences, you see, really even from the time of the russian, austro-hungarian empire, so ob

afd is leading in east germany. the rest of the country would like to fence itself off. a man similar to... a scene from the life of modern germans, the drawing is entitled, ungrateful east germany, symbolic liberation from the axes of the soviet block. paolo lombardi from italy, a very figurative perception of the elections in germany, or in other words, what is on the mind of alice weidel, the chairwoman of the alternative for germany party. the eastern federal states are a special phenomenon. 35 years after the fall of the berlin wall, the country has not been fully reunited. to the amazement of west germans, who for a long time believed that there was no problem. it turned out that there is. and the reason is the unwillingness to recognize the rights of the residents of the former gdr to special status. before the unification, about 70% of gdr citizens says: no, we are first and foremost germans, secondly we are east germans, ninety- sixth year more than 80% says: no, we are first and foremost east germans, only secondly we are citizens of a single country, but now we

west germany was almost 2.5 times larger in area than east germany, and almost... four times larger ininteresting: the american occupiers, carrying out a program denazifications were constantly forced to repent for their hitlerite past, cultivating a sense of guilt. east germans were launched along a completely different cultural trajectory, they are not the heirs of hitler, but the direct heirs of the founders of the communist idea, with their heads, experiencing a sense of superiority in relation to west germans, and indeed, during this period, the red project in the gdr was striking in its efficiency and pace, so the average annual growth of industrial production in the gdr for 1950-58 was 10%, and in the frg by 1.5% less (8.5), in fact we can talk about the east... german economic miracle, and this in conditions when america was providing significant assistance to west germany through the marshal plan, and the ussr, licking its post-war wounds, could not afford anything similar in relation to the gdr. the germans of the gdr developed a unique atmosphere of inspired creativity. the

germany, and when these fighters for peace were asked, why does no one tell easty that there should be no missiles, and they didn't answer anything, they fought with american missiles, not with soviet missiles, so i think that this position is absolutely obvious, tsarevna gehnekh believes that this war, she is guilty of it, because the west did not give russia guarantees.. security, because the west is dragging ukraine into nato, and nato threatens russia, we know all this roach, but the question is not that we know it, the question is that imagine a new german parliament in which there will be christian democrats , the winners, i assure you, well, it's logical, that's in which they will be the social democrats are not at the same level they used to be, because the greens may not be at the same level, ugh, ugh, there may not be free democrats, there will be a large alt- for-germany faction. with which no one will want to deal, and there will be the tsarevgekhnekht alliance, and imagine another big coalition, well, but there may be a repetition of the coalition of

we begin with a historic election results here in germany, projected results in a sty collection in east, in germany. sorry that the final ride alternative for germany potty has one. not since world war 2 has a fall ride potty come 1st in his di selection here. the alternative for germany or a, if the, as it's $92.00, is against the country, providing support to crime, and it's war against russia. it also wants to radically cost back immigration the if the came stick into the conservative christian democrats in the neighboring states of saxony as well. we can take a look at the light is projected results from the state of to arrange here the fire right alternative to germany is the largest pa he with just shy of 33 percent of the volume. the conservative christian democrats of old mice to 24 percent there. the song of ok and commenced alliance or b s. w, which is a new left wing populace. body is made its debut with nearly 16 percent. the live party that had been leading a fragile minority government suffered massive losses. it's projected to get around 13 percent the same to left social

these are states in the east of germany, formerly communist east germany. the states and across east germany in its entirety during the european elections injune. european elections in june. they european elections injune. they perform very well there. it wasn't such a surprise. it is received of a shock, it's been treated as a story. it's the first time that a radical right—wing party has one and election since 1916. it's the worst performance for the germany's leading party of the national government. is the worst performance on the history of sets a war for the separately shock.— history of sets a war for the separately shock. when we say far ri . ht, separately shock. when we say far right. we — separately shock. when we say far right, we talk _ separately shock. when we say far right, we talk about - far right, we talk about radicalfar right, extremist radical far right, extremist party, radicalfar right, extremist party, what exactly do they stand for? ii party, what exactly do they stand for?— party, what exactly do they stand for? , ., ., a stand fo

well the rise of the far right is causing alarm in the east and other parts of germany. enter into sound, the 3000 anti amc and anti fluoride protesters to the street to the regional capital air for it on saturday. pronouncing the far right populace a threat to germany's democracy, the demonstrators marched through the city center to the main cathedral square where the de, how the final rally before the election. and for some analysis on today's regional elections and eastern germany, i'm joined in the studio of id w political correspondent, hunts brown tons. good to see you. so tell us what is driving the appeal of these anti establishment far right and far left parties. i think there's one issue that is at the core of their appeal and that has migration or rather that opposition to migration. uh, especially in eastern germany. but this is obviously an issue that is also a problem and then to the elsewhere in europe and elsewhere in the world, especially since germany took in a lot of the migraines, the hundreds of thousands from syria. and i've gotten this done in rece

well, the established parties are not well established in the east of germany that don't have the root of structures that don't have a large number of members. so they haven't really, since the unification of germany for 2 years ago, established themselves well in the part of germany. and now they are basically seeing that the voters are turning away from then, possibly because of the bickering that's been going on in german government and coalition between the social democrats, the greens and the marketable free democrats. that's been forming a government for the last couple of years and have not really been successful in pushing forward the policies. so people have been turning against them for those reasons as well. definitely is hands broad hands. thank you so much for all of your insights. always great to talk next year's oasis reunion concert in the u. k. and ireland have officially sold out ticket websites struggle to cope with the massive russia sales went live on saturday. many frustrated fans for less queuing for hours online only to come away empty handed. a 2 day is going t

germany, because thuringia saxony is east germany, therefore. the bloc of mutual economic assistance together with the soviet union, our germans, yes, yes, these are our germans, it is quite clear that it was they who gave birth to this signal, but if you look at the situation objectively, it could not have been any other way, well , germany was simply trampled, torn apart, where is this strong point? the economy, where are the leaders of europe and and so on, no, today we are not talking about that anymore, we are talking about the fact that difficult times have come for germany, that there is no economic growth, that enterprises are moving to the united states of america, they are even looking at china to transfer - production enterprises, that electricity is becoming more expensive, well, these are objective factors that need to be taken into account, as we, when we talk about democracy. then always - the political forces that come to power, they must take into account the demands of the population, pay attention attention

communist revolution on a jersey the the, the, it still recommend breaking the whole vote us from germany east woods in southwards, but the temperature drops as we introduce late summer fund, the storms elsewhere, and you, bronson spain. in particular along this line or behind it that will make some of these with progress, but in fact, fall across it says he still maintains the heat balance at 33 near record high. again. that started over the answer, the bulk of all 3 hungry down towards grease or across has been punched or something. so the heavy rain which will produce flooding is moving all the from spite into knolls and mentally, some parts of friends as well. the already central is just where is that it's heavy, used at least behind smart, included with that code of a still it box 35 degrees and not your fonts being joined. the, the twenty's tantalizingly, the ra share. i was just going to bring down the all banding and coast, possibly west in greece, but i think greece will stay dry. then this big circulation takes over throwing more rain and golden spain, and from the heat still then fo

busy of east germany, at least the logic chunk of east germany. the rest is what is at stake here. the election campaign has been going on, and it's most intense phase, certainly for the last few weeks, but certainly for the last few months may the last few years in this positive east germany. the views of people who 35 years ago were living under communism through black when the wall fell, were promised. all sorts of economic prosperity if they voted for reunification with the west. all these issues are in the minds of devices that are electing them new members of parliament. right now. remember that both states, certainly in the most recent past, the last 101520 years have be more, right. leaning certainly in section 8, i mean during the slightly more or less leaning, we will see what the folks have done. as i say, the 16 gmc in the next style of pulse will be closing it as by john snapped parliamentary election as the 1st vote since the government took complete control of the territory of new going to kind of by last year. the election is being held 2 months earlier than planned

particularly on this topic well, it's worth remembering that this part of germany was the former eastermany communist east germany, which was part of the soviet sphere, part of the russian sphere of influence during the cold war. >> and you can see that 45 years or so soviet propaganda has certainly left its mark on the population here. >> who not really embrace everything about russia and putin, but they certainly see russia as no worse than the united states and the blame many of these people blamed the united states and nato which, which they say provoked russia and there you think it's fair to say many of these people are more comfortable with the russians than they are with the west. >> so in terms of relations with the u.s. going forward, i think this is going to remain an issue because they might only be in a couple of eastern states after this election, after these elections that we're seeing today? but five years down the road at the trajectory that we're on right now, much more influence at the federal level. and certainly what we've seen in france, these, these changes that

east germany voted for amendments. materials of our program. macron, who came into power, decided to bet on caligula. he did not take into account one, twenty-five-year-old shalapai, who has long outgrown his uniform. caligula is the same, the famous one, and macron, the legendary one of the present, prefect of the roman praetorians, the first century of our era. the mesenscène is relevant regarding the insatiable thirst for power. however, we cited the quote for another association. it is from the book nero or the actor on the throne, the author is valery semenovich durov, a remarkable professor, philologist from st. petersburg, a specialist in roman ancient literature and the father of the most famous prisoner of this autumn, pavel durov. the arrest of paris, the founders messenger telegram, a landmark event. no one embodies globalization as clearly as transnational information giants. they operate outside any sovereignty, their ability to influence people and society is almost limitless. while the erasure of boundaries was considered the nor

the point is that the east is germany's thermometer, what happened in the east will happen in the westt's just that the west is a little thicker, a layer of fat, a higher level of prosperity. the germans who are now voting for the udg are probably not voting for it. i don't believe in simple explanations like we are replacing a person, then everything will be fine. pistorius is the same as scholz, only in profile. the german defense minister threw a reception for ukrainian minister umerov that was not in keeping with his status. in berlin, he was met with an escort of motorcyclists and an honor guard. this is a signal for the whole world and, of course, for russia, to show what it means. extradition of ukrainian men of draft age to their homeland, the ssu is catastrophically short of people at the front, and here in germany about 200 thousand ukrainians from 16 to 60 years old have settled, umerov seems to have no hope for his own, covers in social networks with an appeal in english: become the fire of victory, join the ukrainian army, he has no words in his native language at all, all

called extreme, an alternative for germany on the right flank is a very fresh union with. a scene from the life of modern germans, the picture is entitled, ungrateful east germany, a symbolic liberation from the soviet bloc. for a long time they thought that there was simply no problem, it turned out that there is, and the reason is the unwillingness to recognize the right of the inhabitants of the former gdr to special status. before the unification, somewhere around 70% of gdr citizens said: no, we are first first of all, the germans, secondly, we are east germans, ninety-sixth year, more than 80% say: no, we are first of all east germans, only secondly, we are citizens of a single country, now... well, somehow the situation is not so much, of course, not 80%, but somewhere half of the population can say, yes, we are first of all axis, and at the same time they do not want to return the wall, it is simply an idea that accept that we are axis, and we are unhappy with how germany was united, in political terms, this is very important, this identity, but here too there is a subtle point, it is not important that they consider themselves axis, east german

central area, is rudy sang some nasty weather as we go through the remainder of monday, much of germany east and positive front, still sing some live the showers nolan areas of spain to catch some lobby shouts. we'll see some motion. i was just pushing back in across the north west of europe and that because more widespread as we go through tuesday, more heavy down pulls, coming through right across the partition, miles into the low countries into scandinavia x i was to into the balkans and also into greece some about what level also affect in the north of africa, with more showers for the west. as the beginning, the idea of the french republic has long proclaimed the dispute is more than friends. in a full pock series, the big picture takes in, in depth ness, france insight. episode one. on l g, sierra, the the, you're watching else a 0 reminder of our headlines this our, the l in the border crossing between jordan and the occupied west bank is closed for a 2nd day after i've done that and killed 3 is really is there under the people stranded near the crossing, hoping it will be reopened is

that is, a normal political party that has actually existed since the foundation of west germany, all of it eastternative to germany, because the experience of living in an authoritarian system seems to give such signs, and many germans, west germans, as i understand it, are gradually coming to terms with the fact that it is necessary to somehow work with these people, and that really they are less inclined, so to speak. to solving society's problems in a democratic way, not a populist way, let's call it that. roman, what oleksandr said about the fact that, in principle , such a pro-russian point of view, as a point of balance, is accepted and completely calm, is in fact, we have always had the idea that it's all a balance, there are people with a pro-western position, there are people who are not with a pro-western position, they have a different position, they believe andriy derkach for ukraine, belarus, russia, he led such an united to the verkhovna rada, journalists on pro-russian channels, journalists on oligarchic channels, do you remember how many times the journalists of igor kolomoisky'

two-stroke engines have become a cultural treasure of east germany, many of them were stored in barnsumber of these cars on the road is increasing again. the number of trabi and east. democratic society clubs, and if you have the majority of people who feel, so to speak, deprived, depending on political decisions, east germans are quicker and more radical in expressing their discontent on participation is important for society, especially the streets, this is what sociologists call disappointment about uncontrolled immigration, for example, a current topic in the east, which is explosive. that the party really has a great future. the topic of this press conference is war and russia. we promised no expansion of nato to the east, it was carried out en masse in the following years. and this is the red line that has been crossed. even putin cannot come to terms with it. their alliance is doing well, especially in the east, where the old parties have long since fallen out of step with the times. and only one party has not suffered from the mass vote. mistrust from the people. in the nineti

in germany, for the first time since nazism , the far right won the regional elections in the east of the country, what does this mean? themselves for berlin and will it affect the support of ukraine? next on our air, in the studio in london, jafer umerov. the alternative for germany is a political party with far-right views, and it was this one that received the most votes, almost a third in the thuringia region. in second place is the conservative christian democratic union. in another eastern region, saxony, the far-right came second. but it is important to note that... third place in both countries was taken by sarah wagenknecht's union party, a far-left party that calls for an end to support for ukraine, as well as an alternative for germany. we will talk more about the impact of these elections on support for ukraine a little later, and german chancellor olaf scholz called the results of the regional elections bitter and added that the alternative for germany party harms the country, weakens the economy, divides society and destroys the reputation of germany, and called. parties

everyone vote for the sdp, so as not to let in an alternative, has led to the fact that in the east of germanyssical liberalism has been completely destroyed. in brandenburg , only 12 votes separated its inhabitants, the free democrats, from falling into statistical error, but the result of 7% is forcing the party of finance minister lindner to consider the most radical options for behavior. the svdp party is discussing an exit from government coalition. the chancellor is losing popular support, and the green party is collapsing. the federal government is just steps away from the abyss. a timely bailout from the coalition, which according to polls is supported by only 3% of germans, could possibly allow the free democrats to land in the bundestag in the next federal elections. two exit dates are being discussed: october 20. 9 and november 14, that is, before or after the budget for next year is submitted to parliament. an earlier date is guaranteed to provoke a government crisis with the prospect of early federal elections, later in theory will allow scholz and the greens to continue to exist

germany, and when they asked these fighters for peace, and why no one tells eastny that there should be no missiles, and they didn't answer anything, they were fighting american missiles, not soviet missiles, so i think that position is absolutely obvious. tsar gehnekh believes that the west is to blame for this war, because the west did not provide russia with guarantees security, because the west drags ukraine into nato, and nato threatens russia. we know all this roach. but the question is not that we know it. and the question is that imagine a new german parliament in which the christian democrats will be the winners, i assure you, it is logical. that is, in which the social democrats will not be at the level at which they were before. there may be greens not at the same level, uh uh, there may not be free democrats, there will be a large alt- for-germany faction that no one wants to be with matter, and there will be an alliance, tsarevgekhneh, and imagine another big coalition, well, but there may be a repetition of the coalition of the gsd plus the social de

there is a political earthquake in the east of germany. results of the elections in saxony and thuringia are the main news. the results were a cold shower for the germans. there have never been results like today's in thuringia and saxony. they should send an alarm signal to berlin. the coalition sitting in berlin has lost in the east with a bang. the election of locals is a kind of vote of no confidence in the leadership of the frg. east germans have gone for an alternative for... germany, this right-wing party in both states gained more than 30%. in saxony, in a landslide with the christian democrats in thuringia, the first. it was a vote to expel the government coalition. voters want new elections at the federal level. we are preparing for this. chancellor olaf scholz must understand the consequences together with his coalition partners, pack up and vacate his seat. scholz is in a knockdown. the elections have made the already unpopular chancellor even more vulnerable. bloomberg wonders: is he even capable of lead his social democrats i

germany, and when these fighters for peace were asked, why does no one tell easty that there should be no missiles, and they did not answer anything, they fought with american and not with soviet missiles, so i think that this position is absolutely obvious, tsarevnekh believes that this war... it is the west's fault, because the west did not provide russia with security guarantees, because the west is dragging ukraine in nato, and nato threatens russia, we know all this nonsense, but... the question is not that we know it, the question is that imagine a new german parliament in which the christian democrats will be the winners, i assure you, it is logical, but in which the social democrats will be at the wrong level, on which they used to be, because they may be green at the wrong level, ugh, ugh, it may not be. free democrats, there will be a large faction of the alternative for germany, with which no one will want to deal, and there will be an alliance of tsarevknekh, and imagine another large coalition, well, but there may be a repetition of the gsd coalition

busy of east germany, at least the launch chunk of east germany. the rest is what is at stake here. the election campaign has been going on, and it's the most intense phase, certainly for the last few weeks, but certainly for the last few months may the last few years in this positive east germany. the views of people who fuzzy 5 years ago were living under communism through black when the wall fell were promised full salt. so we cannot make prosperity if they've voted for reunification with the west. all these issues are in the minds of devices that are electing them new members of parliament right now . and i'll bring, i will shoot and we'll, we know exactly how things are shaping up so voting will stop that around 16 g m t. that's not that far away from now. we will have the 1st one, it's called in german, whole customer, and that's the exit polls immediately when the public stations close. and they usually will give us a good indication of which policy has one, how much percent and that sort of thing. but the breakdown of how many seats phase one is not necessarily guaranteed im

so the afd's message does seem to be resonating, particularly, though, with people here in the east of germanyt of dissatisfaction about the way reunification has been handled over recent decades. so you've got to look at this as something that combines more short term concerns with things that have been brewing for a very long time as well. so how are other parties trying to position themselves as a credible choice to people who have the concerns that the afd seemed to be addressing. yeah, i mean, it's been interesting in the last week, actually, the coalition government in berlin, headed up by chancellor olaf scholz, they started announcing tougher controls on knife crime and asylum laws as well. many saw that as almost perhaps a panicked reaction ahead of this week's election where the spd, the greens, the liberals, all of the parties who are in that coalition are predicted according to the polls, to do pretty badly, might not even make it into the state parliament in some cases, so it could be a disastrous result from then. then the cdu, which is the sort of conservative party, of course,

specifically in east germany. es, these two lands, thuringia and saxony, which we are talking about now, were once part of the so -called german democratic republic, the so-called communist east germany, and it is this heritage that is called the reason that the political preferences in those lands, in that part of germany is special to them. are considered very atypical for the rest of the country, or are these consequences it is the ideological, so to speak, distribution of forces in that country, or deistindustrialization, which is also talked about as a consequence of the occupation by the soviet union and the removal of the actual industrial capabilities of that region, i think that discussions about this among political scientists continue. bohdan, thank you very much, we will say goodbye, our european correspondent bohdan tsyupan was in touch with... russian shelling does not deter, on the contrary, it mobilizes investors. companies are actively looking for generators and means of protecting their assets in

german order here, the task was this: everything up to the urals belongs to germany, but another 200-300 km is the territory to the easturals, which should also become a zone of influence for germany, the rest may go to the japanese, maybe, well, in general, this so far it wasn't so good... ivana, eh, what started, without deception? without and so we go out teskies, what a fairy tale without a flint, in a flint or something locked me, pen, self-written ink magic, get it, you main thing, vanya, hurry up, so give me a horse, a mechanical one, beat yourself on the head, you have a nickname, where it is necessary, that's what they call me, because i'm taking you not where you , a fool, want, where it is necessary.

east and north. both sides find hundreds of rome could sit each other over the weekend. we'll get the latest from a route and jerusalem. also coming up to germany, social democrats defy expect patients to win elections in the east and state of brand, but not only by a narrow victory as to find a ride alternative for germany, continues to gain momentum. the i been visible and welcome is where the military goes to a residence and they've been onto evacuated areas close to buildings used by has blah, as it begins coming up. what he calls extensive strikes against the militant group as well as new wave of air strikes for the weekend in which both sides exchanged hundreds of rockets. some striking close to these by the port city of haifa. israel's defense ministers, as the operations will continue until residents can return to evacuated areas is the northern border with levon known as belies vowed to keep fighting until a ceasefire is acute in gaza. at the very latest and joined by a correspondence they will be guarding in jerusalem. and mohammed straight to in a route. emily, the is why the defense forces saying they're conducting widespread strike

be sure that, for example, in the same germany, there are still no politicians who wanted to return conditional the russian hook, right now in, right now in eastermany, the former gdr, the political forces are winning there, the alternative for germany, and another political force, the left, it’s called the alliance, sari, i forgot the last name, i’m sorry, for example, these political forces , which gain 50%, in fact, of the total electoral picture in east germany, they are ready to... go back to this russian hook again, and yes, if you really buy, you can see many, many, many countries that today are not ready to break their final ties ties with such a concept as russia. we talked a lot last time about this festival and this film russians at war, in fact, by the way, it should still be shown tomorrow, to be honest . according to the latest news, however, not anymore within the framework of the festival, within the framework of some separate event, that is, it is this again, it is about these compromises that the world is ready to tolerate and is ready to build bridges with it, even after everything that russia has done, well, i remember the

the german tv channel welt traveled through the cities of east germany and unexpectedly found out thatses its socialist past. i was born in the gdr in 1980 in codbus, i am a child of east germany, i don't care if someone says that you are from the east, there is nothing to talk about with you, just don't talk to me. about 20% of germans are native east germans, do they feel like east germans or just germans? change was expected, many believed it, everything should be like in the frg. west germany looked rich and problems. employees, the business wanted to close in 1991, non-competitive ability, that's the reason, like a thousand other companies, about 3 million east germans lost their jobs in yena. society, and if you have a large part of people who feel, so to speak, deprived, depending on political decisions, east germans are quicker and more radical in taking their discontent to the streets, this is what sociologists call frustration over uncontrolled immigration, for example, a hot topic in the east, which is explosive, thuringia in april 2024, the only federal state in which the l

between the eastern and west germany, and this is independent, regardless of individual polling stations, stations, literally, if... the westernmost polling station of eastermany voted for an alternative for germany, the easternmost district of west germany voted for the christian democrats, this border is absolutely geographical, where eastern germany begins, there it begins, there begins the attachment to radical parties, at least much greater than in the west, well, by the way, we have always had so electoral. long decades between that part of ukraine that was part of the russian empire and that part of ukraine that was part of the russian empire in ukraine, that is, in poland, in poland, that is, under austrian poland under russian poland, and this is really completely typical for this region, and here when we talk about these populist sentiments of the far right, far left, if specifically in germany, or in eastern europe, in general, it really is a communist bloc, it really is an example of that history is still with us, history... has not yet been overcome, the consequences of this communist totalitarian past have not been completely overcome and t

germany. most of the migrants who have come here are not in east germany there. and other parts of the country, but it is sort of in their heads that these asylum seekers pose a threats to german society, into german, german identities. and nadine, when you look at the f d's platform regarding immigration, has this also had an effect on other parties within germany, some of the more centrist or traditional ones as it drags them further towards the right on that issue. yeah, i think there are like domino effects that you can see that like one stone, this tipping and then another stone follows like in a domino a game. i think you, if you look at the positions that has to do is now proposing towards migration. i think you can really see that this to do with a christian democratic conservative party is no trying to be stricter against the asylum seekers also to restrict the within the set of rules within the you for your opinions union, they want to reject asylum seekers at the german border and now there's like a car and shoots discussion whether this is possible wi
