most likely would the 3rd place, social democrats who let the former administration the far right a f. d took 2nd place, but merits refuses to work with them. let's take a closer look at the numbers and break them down for you merits as conservative. it came out on top of the 28.5 percent. the far right alternative for germany doubled their share of the vote to 20.8 percent, making them the 2nd largest party germany's incumbent social democrats suffered at the polls dropping over 9 percentage points to 16.4 percent. the greens fell 3 percentage points to 11.6 percent. the last party fared better than expected with 8.7 percent of the vote. the b s. w, which splintered from the left party last year only took 4.97 percent just short of the 5 percent threshold needed to enter parliament. and the business from the ftp also fell below the 5 percent threshold, sending it crashing out of parliament. other smaller parties together took over 4 percent of the vote. and let's have a look now at how election night unfold. and starting with the conservatives here took 1st place via the cd to cd. yo

from the ruling social democrats. and the next graphic gives us a sense of where the ac is strongest. we can bring that in. believe we do have a heat map somewhere in there. we see it coming up and that is plainly in germany's eastern regions. the dark or the blue, the greater percentage of voters who opted for the far right and those dark blue areas correspond pretty exactly with the state boundaries up the former communist east germany, a j. a. why are we seeing this divide between west and east for historical reasons, since german reunification, former eastern germany and has struggled economically, its whole industry and economic system basically collapse and has to be set up a new a and this has caused, you know, a lot of disruption for people living in these regions, having to switch careers, find the new life path for themselves. and this, this, this insecurity of a sense of disruption. they don't feel has really been addressed and paid attention to from the federal government. this is something that has been o

the only way to majority for fluid mass is christian. democrats will be a coalition with the social democrats the far right and they have come in 2nd with a strong showing, but mass refuses to work with them as do all other german parties. let's break down the numbers for you. mass is conservative, came out on top, we already heard that with 28.5 percent. the far right alternative for jeremy almost doubled their share of the vote to 20.8 percent. making them the 2nd largest party. germany's uncommon social democrats suffered a crushing defeat. dropping over 9 percentage points to 16.4 percent. the greens fell 3 percentage points to 11.6 percent left party fared better than expected. with 8.7 percent of the road, b. s. w with splintered from the left party last year took only 4.97 percent, just short of the 5 percent threshold needed to enter parliament. the business from the f t p also fell below the 5 percent threshold of crash out of parliament. other smaller parties together took over 4 percent of the votes. so we'll look now and how election 9 unfolded, starting with the conservatives for

but i think it typically, some of the social democrats are most likely option. we now have but of course, sunday yesterday was a bit difficult day for the social democrats. they what the big lose is of yesterday's election. and also we need to get the social democrats some time to analyze and reflect what went wrong from that point of view. but one thing is clear, the social democrats need to understand that we need to do more full vin, normal, gem and citizens. we need to tackle all the challenges these people are facing. people are concerned and jeremy, about the cost of living people are concerned about the crime in our country. people are concerned about irregular migration. we need to address these issues and we shouldn't lead these important topics to the radicals the extremes from the fall left on the fall right. now you mentioned time time and again time is of the essence of what is foolish math as a likely next on the able to do and able to negotiate over the coming weeks before dominey actually sees the government in place. but take the on the issue of

is this the case in economic policy when you're talking to the social democrats that you will not budge on certain issues for him? and you touch briefly on the fact that i can sure to your campaign on mobilize a lot of left party voters. like would you say that the a symmetrical, the a mobilization of them is mac will also had an effect, right? for the election campaigns, concepts had it cuz advantages. so i was a bit skeptical all the time. this was very worried at seeing the dropping voter turnouts. i'm seeing such a high vote to turn out as we've had yesterday is a comes encouraging most right. it's free for the democracy. it's what from an election campaign turnouts or that we've had since 90 percent in the seventy's. now we have a 23 point, something percent low to turn out to my friends at age 2.5 percent, which is a very good sign for our democracy. we've had a very intense political debate in germany, which is something like very much welcome in this debate. but we have seen an interest in politics that we did not have for many years before. so i'm pleased about that other issue

whereas the social democrats would rather go into spending. i think you can combine the 2, but then you obviously needs more money. so we're in the middle of, i think the most crucial question in germany, which is like how to organize the finances and the budget. and i think this would be the 1st of all questions. you're going to come to that in a moment because i'd like to, to oft match. it said yesterday that we're going to have a new government by east or, you know, this pretty quite well. uh yeah, how do you say i doubt it because, um, well, there's no a break. um those connie, well, we have an election coming up next to the next sunday and i'm book and the social democrats are about twins, the state. so they really want to keep it come now and um it will take awhile because it's the social democrats who are really defeated. now, go into such a coalition. it will take time because they have to ask the members, maybe there's a peptide tack and the party convention, and they have to decide, do we, do we go, this was foolish math or you don't

een other will be the three party coaliti the social democrats in n party, the social democrats in riyadh so the riyadh and cdu in black, so the flag of kenya. but of course, 7 coalition 77 coalition talks are these coalition talks are difficult and tricky —— in red. germany's likely next and germany's likely next chancellor said he wants these negotiations to as 777777777: if?” n n to have quickly as possible to have a he to active role not in a more active role not only in europe, but on europe, but also on the stage. europe, but also on the staue. , ., international stage. tell us a bit more _ international stage. tell us a bit more about _ international stage. tell us a bit more about merz, - international stage. tell us a bit more about merz, he - international stage. tell us a bit more about merz, he was also quite critical about the us. ., , also quite critical about the us. . , ., , also quite critical about the us. ., ,~ ~ us. he was really critical. and after the _ us. he was really critical. and after the first _ us. he was really critical. and after the first exit _ us. he was

how's the shots as social democrats? stuff of the west law says so that the re unification of germany in 1990. and the sense of left green has come in for the fall left potty link has made unexpected games. has a make up of the incoming jam and parliament. none of the policies nor blocks of secured the 316 seats needed to form a government st. that's one. now have to enter complicated combination talks. he's already ruled out doing business with the far right, a f d dominant cane reports from ballon on moments of troy. and so the christian democrats for the past 3 and a half years, they've been in a position now they've come 1st in this selection sleeper, they smell, it says campaign centered around a much tougher policy on migration. and the economy is clear about what he wants to happen. events, the 1000, the world is out. there is no waiting for us when he is not waiting for legacy coalition talks and negotiations. we need to be able to act quickly again, or that we can do the right thing at home so that we have prese

the social democrats losing heavily from last time around with the only 16 percent conservative. they picked up some support. they finished top with just under 29 percent. the greens that just under 12 percent, the liberal free democrats failing to make that crucial 5 percent cut off. they crash out of parliament. and the a, if the, as we said, doubling their support in the selection and the left party, they get close to 9 percent. also unexpected. and that means the conservatives here in blacks get the most seats followed by the a f d. and then the social democrats, the greens and the left party, are also in the new part of so friedrich maritza is the man most likely to replace the current transfer or lock sholtes. both men have been addressing their supporters take, unless it's all good or bad. i want to say a big thank you to all of voters replace that trust in those. and then me personally gave you advice of i understand the responsibility and i understand the size of the top salons ahead of us fall into the i have deep respect for this and i know it will not be easy vice doe

yeah, that's sort of net connect with the cd with the social democrats. yeah. um, yeah, i mean it's going to be very interesting because the, i think, as, as things stand, the c d u is going to have a choice. i, who's that going to do a coalition with a new can so season a everyone kind of buying for a position in the negotiations afterwards. and i think that the, the migration con, this 8 point on the hobbit came up with was the, it was seen by some as an overture or 2 words induced mats and the christian democrats. yeah. i mean, just before we took a been a bit more in detail about coalitions. julia, do you think it's how much cope do they have to climb beyond that? 15 percent mock. i mean, if they, you know, as ben just mentioned, that kind of, you know, vying for the, with the social democrats for the 4th place. did they have a chance of pulling farther ahead of them or is or is this is probably as good as they going to get. i think that sort of the around 15 percent represents that voter base that they have that is going to vote for the greens no matter wh

it has to be a collision between the conservative and the social democrats, the sd. because only they have a majority of the majority of the $316.00 in the bundle stock, and they have to give a $328.00. so that's a comfortable majority. and another condition is not uh, feasible on it. so that's the way the numbers have are shaken out despite the s p d, also not performing as well as they might have hoped on election items. because you have to say that socialist actually had a devastating results. they lost the 10 points compared to, to the form that election. they only know at 16, which is the 1st result they've ever gotten in the, the, what a german history. so they have a small in the know you can talk about a grand cause. there's nothing more because the body is actually only a small sized body now and that could eat or alter the conservatives have not done as they have hoped for. they are below 30 percent, which was the same. so all the parties in the democratic and it'll have half lost. so let's take a look at what these 2 parties are gonna be facing if they go

what is the next were social democrats given the shellacking they faced? >> now it is coming to who is the party leadership. that was clear yesterday, olaf scholz taking full responsibility for the results and saying he gave it his best. the party leaders saying the same thing, he has given it his best shot, he fought like a lion to the death. a lot of that imagery being used but now you see party leadership change and that is something talked about at the headquarters. the idea of perhaps boris pistorius, currently the minister of defense, taking a bigger role when it comes to leadership of the party not only for the party but perhaps a cabinet position if indeed that is where merz decides. this comes at a time when you have a lot of conversation about how germany fits into the defense structure and that has changed in the last two weeks given whether or not germany wants a seat in the table when it comes to ukraine negotiations, the nato presence. the u.s. is a big military presence in germany and does this mean they have a bigger kind of seat at the tab

number of german cast their ballots in the highest turnouts as re unification. meanwhile, the social democrats and current chancellor or life charles take or hammering there . now the conservatives, the most likely junior partner in a coalition shaw says he will not be involved in negotiations on the far right. alternative for germany. the f b celebrates the 2nd place finish. it has doubled its fair of devout since the last select the uncle for at least welcome to the sho. germans have voted for change with the countries. conservatives claiming victory and sundays national election with the roads now tallied. it has become clear that the only way to majority for a foolish mass is christian. democrats will vehicle listen with the social democrats the far right if they have come in 2nd with a strong showing, but mass refuses to work with them as do all other german parties. let's break down the numbers for you. a mess as conservatives came out on top with 28.5 percent, the far right alternative for germany doubled their share of the vote to 20.8 percent, making them the 2nd largest party germany

like the social democrats more or less already acknowledged to with the unioni the recent weeks.here might be even the opportunity after the election that they will start between atrleast the and the greens. so i these two options still -== but what has 7' ' ththhlat’ ”he; qchigved exist but what he has achieved his is eu by his initiative is eu documented a position and =— f”,7%’:%f s :, of fgoucy increased credihitity'af peticy and the increased credihitity'af paticy and the party 7 of the 7 ' " ltthé ' and ' " lfth; ' and of members of the greens and of the social democrats now know it has to be done.— the social democrats now know it has you. done.— young in the region ate ' stake to learning. there much following the attacks a year and back from gaza, from? ha; ' gaza,” from has come za, from has come to jlittle little left of his el" translation: a??? 5,7;— in translation: e??? 57—2’ in ruins and unlike translation:; - in ruins and unlike the - e left standing. we have wee! left standing! tale haverrr— destroyed. is wee! !eft standing! tale haverrr— destroyed. is left been

social democrats who came inside the fault. i've a if they took 2nd place, good match refuses to work with them. there's a big down the numbers for you. now. the merits, as a conservative, came out on top with 28.5 percent. the thought i'd have done it for germany, double the share of the vote to try and 2.8 percent, making them the 2nd largest positive germany's incumbent social democrats suffered at the polls. dropping over 9 percentage points to 16.4 percent. the greens felt 3 percentage points to 11.6 percent. the left body fed better than expected with 8.7 percent of the vote. the b s w, which splintered from the left bottom. the last you only took 4.97 percent just short of the 5 percent threshold needed to end up falling into the business. finally, if the be also found below the 5 percent threshold, sending it crashing out or falling on other smaller parties to get the took over 4 percent of the vote. the election outcome leaves different coalition options as to what i've taken possibilities. but feverish mats has the op

when he sits down with the social democrats, talk about the potential co listen mckayla. thank you so much for your reporting there from the cd. you headquarters in berlin, that is our chief political editor at mckayla cooper. and we do want to cut away just for a moment to, to give those, if you were just joining us, an update on the latest numbers with the official results from sundays national election now in conservative freezers merits, as we said, as boys to become the countries next chancellor, here's a cd you z as you block set to lead a future government. and actually before we turn to those numbers, i understand that he has just arrived and is about to begin speaking after seed you headquarters. let's see if i can get back to the cd you in berlin and have a listen in of the opposing side. that's something i think is necessary. thank you. thank you ladies and gentlemen from welcome. oh no. that's all it is. yeah, it was great, but i think, yeah, you great, really. i'm doing great. how can help us with come to a point where time into the press conference with the

so the social democratic party is a feat. i think that must be made clear most in law to the results. i might, most of voters say they want gemini to taken fuel or refugees have permanent border controls and to ton of asylum seekers away at those borders. many people won't tax cuts, but bessie's, unlike cri with the economy in long term recession. foreign policy issues were not central. most of the policies have similar views about the war and ukraine, nato, and the positions of the trump whitehouse. or from all of this, with joined by the vice sent, you joins us from berlin. who is that the policy headquarters full the can services? so i guess the big question now is cannot pull off a coalition. government of the mass of justice responded to $0.04 from john is here as a cd you headquarters. i have to say that it's not really a fix. we moved here. it's all a bit subdued. and the big elephant in the room is, of course, the alternative for germany par to which has doubled its a number of seats and solomon. so it's, it's, it is

this is a bit to election results of the social democratic party. and the if there's a fee to log in, i think that must be made clear in light to the results. i might have most voters say they want gemini to taken fuel refugees have permanent border controls and to ton asylum seekers away at those borders. many people won't tax cuts, but bessie's, unlike cri with the economy in long term recession, foreign policy issues were not central. most of the policies have similar views about the war and ukraine, nato, and the positions of the trump white house. oh, don't let, joins us out, live from buttons. so tell me the results in and now the real work thoughts of met forming a government this yes, what sort of coalition might the beach to take on the governments once the members of the problem at the new members who are elected yesterday, once they turn up here and square legions as it were to the constitution become fully for adventure. the members of parliament. what government will that be? yesterday while the exit polls were coming out before the rus

. r cor social democrats., thank 7777- very much for 7 very much for all of you you very much for all of you who have given so much in the improve, and 7 7improve, and yet, 77 7 7improve, and yet, social net impreve. and yet, seciat everywhere in the democrats everywhere in the country continue to campaign. ceentryecentihuete campaign. put up ceentryecentinuerte campaign. put up posters, knocked on andou all 777 andou all helm andou all helti doors and you all helped to organise huge everywhere ejganise hege events everywhere the country. so egrganise hege events everywhere the country. so in a moment, in the country. so in a moment, a moment in we have to a moment in which we have to we have lost the acknowledge we have lost the election, it to election, it is important to say thank you, thank you to all say thank yeu. thank you to all you have worked so hard and of you have worked so hard and campaigned so hard. friends and time friends and we friends and time we had a better election e and was responsible t

this is a bit to election results of the social democratic party. and the is a feature in august, i think that must be medically most in law to the results. i might most voters say they want germany to taken fewer refugees have come in and bought a controls and to ton of asylum seekers away at those borders. many people won't tax cuts, but bessie's, unlike cri with the economy in long term recession, foreign policy issues would not central. most of the policies have similar views about the war and ukraine, nato, and the positions of the trump whitehouse. dominic joins us now from violin and dominic, now the results are in the real work stops, doesn't it? this? yeah, the real work for mister mounts is finding somebody with whom he can make a stable government. that's what he said. he wants it on sunday. well this monday morning, looking at the results is pretty clear. the only policy with whom he can make a stable majority is the social democrats on the off shots as it is currently, the shots has made pretty clear, but he is not gonna stay around for

that's something that the social democrats will be very reluctant to make a deal on. still ahead and i'll just sarah, from scott's usa doll disrupting the philippines 5 to contain one of the worlds fastest growing h i v epidemic. the a. had a lie that will begin in south asian is barely a cloud in the sky across much of india. as we go into choose a lots of hate continues to build a coast to west coast with one by touching 37 degrees celsius. we will see some showers creek back into the very south, but it is looking west of the east of that full sri lanka, with warnings off for some heavy rain for the abdomen and a nickel by islands. the rain in the northeast, however, is set to ease pulling its way for the west and most settled with sunshine for bangladesh, as well as in the pool and boots on this very wintery and wet weather, sweeping across into afghanistan to administer one as well. so we'll see that snow and sleet in kabul that continues to work is way further east. we'll see some of that rain in is low, i'm about to take us through to the end of the week. winter

that's the social democrats, mister shots. he stays in office but not in power because the constitution means somebody has to be shots that are until a new one can be voted in by the new members of the parliament behind me, that's going to take many weeks just amounts to said he wants to have full negotiations done to effectively take office himself by e stuff. so that's in front of the question is what areas of compromise will that be? what concessions will each policy have it have as it were to give to each other in terms of foreign policy? we know the food anniversary of the war and ukraine beginning. well remember aust of that's one of the things that mister shots put through this part. it was a vast investment in defense spending point beings. the 2 parties have similar positions about the war and ukraine. similar positions by nature, similar positions about the positioning as it were, of the trump white taps. all of these issues, they're gonna have to rush out. it will take many weeks. while that happens is the shop stay

a former a form of political marriage with the established with less social democrats or may not judge. while you could say with them and degrees, but marks and says that he's not really into 3 ways as and well, he's klein is interested in committing to the social democrats in the coalition. well, also probably playing footsie under the table with the the, or at least with their policies just like he did back in january when he enjoyed their support for his proposal to tighten asylum laws. his are so called the firewall against the f d back then it turns out it was more of a decorative beaten curtain than anything else. look, we saw this play out in france to the establishment, tries to keep populous of the power by stealing their ideas. only to find that eventually a few years down the road, voters prefer the original to the knock off. so much also is this that the world is waiting for him or i, germany, i guess, to take center stage of peace negotiations between russia and the us. my impression over the last few days, because that russia and america finding common ground over the hea

from the ruling social democrats. the electron autumn leaves different the coalition options of students can possibilities. one is between the conservatives and the thought i'd say if the which would have an employee majority environment. but this is not happening because things like manse has wound optical illusion with the fee. the other coalition is with the s b d. this option will have a slim on majority in parliament. that is the most likely one. since manse rule collaborating with the far right as since then mass has said he would be going in with this option. and a quick recap of in depth coverage of the german elections you out on dw news motors in germany, have often to change conservative lucky they're free to commit these points to become the countries. next, johnson advocacy that you'll see is your lines. taking just under 50 percent of the mode match rolled up, holding a goal isn't for the fall, right? and the find out if these have to become germany's number to bother you having taken more than 20 percen

it would bring together for you to think matches conservatives and the social democrats who lost the selection, but still appear poised to end up in government again via the cd to cd. you and c. s you the uni and lock of one. there's 2025 election which ones is gone and previous matches. the man in the driving seat is clear winner of this election. he said to become jim and john sla though he still faces the tricky task of building a coalition, a center right, cd. you see if you block receive the most boat, sparkly emoji in there, we're down to 50 percent. it's not the support match. wanted hold off shouts, we'll stay owners can take a chance that but these days is jim and his lead to our number is s b, d policy, 18 thoughts west results. and then they're still election since the 19th century on, on for the the can also in the grounds comm raids face is a base or election results of the social democratic party talking to you for different types of stuff. i know i need to log it on, the old tentative for jim and he thought as he nearly doubled, it supports the strongest showing for a

social democrats really suffered the poles. the greens fell. the laugh. bossy fed better than expected. the b a, something to bridge splintered from the left, bought the last year, failed to make the 5 percent special needed to enter parliament and the business. finally, it'd be crossed out of parliament. remember to send us your questions on our youtube page. you can see the all see the screen right there. that's where we pick up your question from. and one of the positives will be answering your questions today is nina honda, the that lucy wanted to go uh, try to trying to. uh, these are the questions uh once it was subject that you have on the gentleman to let you be trying onto them. is that just nina? i was going to be with us. we're going to be having another desk and we're joining us shortly. but lastly, just ought to be not, you know, you spent the better part of the past 48 hours at the s b d headquarters and now we have the cd. you see a to combine that has emerged, top feed reach, math is set to be the next john that can you tell us

with the social democrats or shots policies. mister shots has already said that he is not going to be involved in negotiations effectively. his career and front line politics will dive the moment, but a new government takes office. that means when the m p's, the people are being elected on sunday. take those seats that then there will be official coalition talks between these policies. the question then is, what sorts of compromises concessions when each party give to the other in order to bring it back back government, there's no other realistic majority in palm or any other way. foreign policy is always making clear in that report well on foreign policy terms. they're not ready that far apart from each other. they share the same view about the war and ukraine broadly. they share the same view about the importance of nate, so they share the same view about the positioning of the trump white types. but the one place, one issue ra, that's where they really don't share. a point of view is about migration is to match says he now ha

a; iééks’v'eh be the next 5 for the social democrats, olaf scholz, the current chancellor, comes from seen as a key player. he the government 5 the government in? in germany's defence, that more in germany's defence, that is because of russia's war on ukraine. he talked about a where the change where the german government would more on government would spend more on defence, especially with the threat of russia's sole close. schultz is popular although schultz is not popular in the right now. 14%. in the polls right now. 14%. last they got north of last election they got north of 25%, a big in 25%, certainly a big drop in support for him. the coalition collapsed because it was unpopular and was and therefore we infighting and therefore we have the snap elections. a lot of eyes on germany are on the far right. they are leading of 20%. joining me now are our correspondents who is with the cdu. friedrich maritz has been a polarising figure in this campaign with some of the taxi has launched against the has launchedgagainst the parties centre—left parties —— friedrich merz. tell us what i

one of them might be a so—called grand coalition, that is the conservative cdu party with the social democrats we saw under angela merkel when she was together with olaf scholz, who was the finance minister in the coalition. so that's one possibility. and the other will be the so—called kenya coalition — so three parties, the green party in green, the social democrats in red and cdu in black, so the flag of kenya. but of course, these coalition talks are difficult and tricky. and germany's likely next chancellor said he wants these negotiations to continue as quickly as possible, to have a strong germany, he said, to take a more active role not only in europe, but also on the international stage. and tell us a bit more about what merz said. he was also quite critical about the us. he was really critical. and after the first exit polls came out, he strongly criticised not only donald trump, but also elon musk, what he called was interference. he compared what elon musk has been doing by praising the far—right afd party, by giving airtime to party leader alice weidel, to intervention from moscow

their bank account as it were, they will have to not only get the support of the green party and social democratsrom the left party die linke or they will not have the soup majority required. it is a tall order, isaeee�*ee'tscr�*e�*sias two leases e'tscr�*ei�*sae�*s two m o nths leases e'tscr�*ei�*sae�*s two months or years isaeee�*ee'tscr�*e�*sias two months or years for weeks, two months or years for germany and europe.— weeks, two months or years for germany and europe. merz, tough domestically _ germany and europe. merz, tough domestically and _ germany and europe. merz, tough domestically and beyond - germany and europe. merz, tough domestically and beyond german i domestically and beyond german borders in europe and ukraine, domestically and beyond german borders in europe and ukrain and franco—german relationship. and when that works together, the whenthat works together. the union normally european union normally get stronger. so europe can stand its ground, we see a more assertive europe now much more assertive europe now in the next �*years. much more assertive europe now in the next -

helped similarly with dsa lots and lots of people who had never thought about or heard of democratic socialism when bernie sanders said, i'm democratic socialist and they agreed with what he was saying about contemporary american society and political proposals, google democratic socialism. and they they found dsa, his web site. and so they poured in and tens of thousands but institutional memory of dsa had been founded to be which was the left wing of the possible and michael harrington's phrase that got lost and so i don't know how you both remain open growth and and you know this is not your sds dsa which it shouldn't be our but also keep some core values a kind core commitment in the case of both sd and dsa, their origins to to democracy, i mean, the word democracy in in the titles, organizations and that's that's gotten obscured. i, i could solve that dilemma, but very good question. can you solve it in the back there. yes. yes, you have kind of amorphous question. i don't know if it'll come out right, but i have this stereotype of, i think marxist. i think of academics arguing each other
