now with the german election a little over two weeks time many do you see a victory for anglo-american is a foregone conclusion although not the chance for herself. ladies and gentlemen we hear a lot here at the german election has already been decided i am telling you that this is simply not true. it is supposed to show anglo-american is party breaking away from her main rival martin schulz is social democratic party however the so-called third parties may also play a key role if a majority can't be formed in government with more on this is peter all of. with most pundits already calling this election a win for. schultz there isn't a great deal of intrigue that. has been the battle for third place and who will perhaps be the kingmaker in the next coalition government the smaller parties in germany providing. guns. to the. amount of. time. to. bring some scandal and controversy to the relatively calm seas of the political scene. germany it looks like they will enter a pall of it. and they run on a message against. policy and what they see is the islam isolation of the country even draf

anglo-american actually saw a big dip in the polls in two thousand and sixteen with some people thinking that she may not even contest this election for full time but two thousand and sixteen was a long time ago and she has rebounded in the polls since that she is also a person who is kani enough to know that when her own policies are not reflecting well in terms of the public opinion and she's been known to take ideas from other parties some of described as being a bit of a flip flop when it comes to policies elizabeth and those who have been persecuted who are refugees displaced by war should be allowed in europe that is currently if i could i would turn back time many many years to prepare better together with the entire government and those responsible for the refugees there are many ups and downs in anglo merkel's twelve years in office her three terms it is very likely if the polls are correct that her party will come out. top to morrow but it will still then have to form a ruling coalition if she is to gain another few years in this building our correspondent daniel hokkien says b

quite the same atmosphere there is anglo-american down to the way still washee was trying to win over any floating vote is around two hundred protesters had called the chancellor and a number of well rested. so. to be elected chancellor for a fourth time about the end of the turn there will be a new generation literally of germans that have seen no other leader in office microsoft notes many of her rivals indeed have come and gone through her twelve years now at the top of the show to do bensky reports next how merkel has become somewhat of a political survivor. not just a political survivor she is known as being the mother of not just germany but for some the mother of europe and some describe her as being a political dinosaur now under merkel hopes the results of that election tomorrow will see her when the fourth term in office i will see her back at these offices that she's called home for the last twelve years let's take a look now at some of the political leaders from europe and across the world angle of merkel has seen off during her time in office. during that duration three t

german election you find the next section interesting i think she's down but she certainly not out anglo-american has secured a fourth term as the chancellor of germany as expected a christian democrat party gained the most folks but is a lot less in terms of percentage than they'd expected a social democrat suffered what's been described as a crushing you know is that too often but it was the case the election defeat twenty percent good for some terrible for the speed a that was result since the second world war look at who finished in third place the rightwing euro skeptics will turn to for germany party for them this election has been a major breakthrough for the very first time they've gained enough votes to win seats in the national parliament. thanks wolf eastley the cd he would have hoped for a better result but we mustn't forget that we achieved all strategic objectives we have a mandate to form a new government and no government can be formed against without us. through today is a difficult day for social democracy we missed out on our electoral go after losing our central region and we

despair for germany's conservatives they lost significant ground this time around the chance of an anglo-american will still serve a fourth term she says she'd wished for a better result which is now set to form a new government. isn't starts the cuff week the c.d.u. in the c.s.u. have emerged as the strongest parties we have the mandate to form a government and no one will form one against us. the social democrats are in shock after their worst ever result the so-called schultz effect a bump in the polls when party leader martin schulz declared his candidacy went nowhere he's now ruling out joining the new government but says he won't step down as party chair. i've advised the s.p.d. leadership that we go into the opposition soon we're all united in our decision. to take this step. i mean he's i'm sure that. with the s.p.d. out one of michael's possible coalition partners is the pro-business free democratic party and they came back strong after a humiliating defeat four years ago the reform than before and the dear friends. before the last election period was the first in the history of our repu

it was an economic factors immigration fears what's going on there well the refugee policy of anglo-american is certainly one unifying pattern of all the voters in the east and in the west some are just concerned that germany couldn't cope with the sheer number of migrants that came to germany others are openly cinephile big and racist the economic question is interesting because when you ask a if the voters some seventy three percent of them say they're actually satisfied with their economic situation so that's not an explanation really this through other cultural explanation many of the voters like the voters for example of donald trump in the u.s. they say that they're not satisfied with the general development of the society with multiculturalism with women rights with globalization with the modern society and they rather dream of a society that they had in the eighty's or something like that and they won these times back certainly they won't get them by voting a. ok mark there for us and dressed and thank you. well as the view from germany now let's get the view from brussels our bureau

anglo-american actually saw a big dip in the polls in two thousand and sixteen with some people thinking that she may not even contest this election for full time but two thousand and sixteen was a long time ago and she has we're bound in the polls since that she is also a person who is kani enough to know that when her own policies are not reflecting well in terms of the public opinion and she's been known to take ideas from other parties some of described as being a bit of a flip flop when it comes to policies and using those who have been persecuted who are refugees displaced by war should be allowed in europe than is currently if i could i would turn back time many many years to prepare better together with the entire government and those responsible for the refugees so there are many. ups and downs in anglo merkel's twelve turns twelve years in office has three terms it is very likely if the polls are correct that her party will come out on top tomorrow but it will still then have to form a ruling coalition if she is to gain another few years in this building our correspondent danie

let's bring it up to date with what happened yesterday evening and overnight the counts completed anglo-american has secured afford to miss the german chancellor no surprise about a christian democrat party gaining the most votes but this is the key thing a lot less folks than the party was expecting and less than they were hoping for also doing badly the social democrats it's been described as a crushing election defeat for them overly twenty percent of the vote going to the party the worst is over then since the second world war but for the right wing euro skeptics will turn to for germany party this election is considered a major breakthrough for the first time they have gained the votes to put them into the national parliament. they were obviously the cd you would have hoped for a better result but we mustn't forget that we achieved all strategic objectives we have a mandate to form a new government and no government can be formed against all without us. through today's a difficult day for social democracy we missed out on our electoral go after losing our central region and we lost the fede

for the far right protest party because i wasn't happy with anglo-american refugee policy and this anger in the countryside shall we say how do you think it's going to affect the final outcome on sunday you know us in the berlin bubble as you mentioned as you called it a few minutes ago are we going to are we in for a big surprise on sunday. it's possible i think it's still in both ways possible we could still be surprised that maybe this group of people was now over we presented in the media and that the end of the day it is just a five to seven percent group that you have everywhere in every country basically or even bigger ones but it could also be that the a if do you would get twelve thirteen percent i wouldn't be really surprised that could happen many say that they would end up as the third biggest party and that would certainly be a huge change for the political culture in germany ok many thanks for that fascinating talking to you. now in the run up to sunday's vote here in germany there has been much discussion about the prospect of illegal foreign interference against that back

anglo-american it's even until. the f.t. says the german chancellor broke numerous laws when she opened germany's borders to hundreds of thousands of refugees in twenty fifteen now it wants to take her to task it's also promising to make immigration a major issue in parliament. we don't want the makeup of this country changed by a mass invasion of foreigners we've always said that some will take that into parliament. in fact the a.s.d. wasn't always about immigration when it was found four years ago it was a single issue set up campaigning against the euro germany's contribution to the e.u. bailout fund for greece. it's almost got elected to the bundestag in twenty thirty but ended up just shy of five percent needed. the a.f.d.c. electoral fortunes change with chancellor merkel's reaction to the twenty fifty migration crisis it jumped on the issue monies to get into a number of regional assemblies. it's often brought low making calls for rory with scandalous rhetoric fiery clashes it's likely to carry those tactics into the

i think anglo-american will have to give something fairly sizeable in terms of concessions to the greens to attract them into that coalition but as you're saying you know the greens and the liberals they come at each other from opposite sides of the political spectrum so these will be very lively coalition talks and the senate democrats have said ok martin shows that leader we're going to be the big opposition party where does that leave the a.n.c. there the smaller opposition party what's going on but one of the reasons that the that martin schultz and the social democrats have jumped going into the opposition is because it prevents the far right populist of the a.f.p. from being the leader of the opposition bear in mind when you lead the opposition in the german parliament you get to open you get you to all the first party that responds to the government in parliamentary debates so it's a very prominent position and you also traditionally get the head of the very powerful budget committee so to prevent all of that that is why. on one of the logics behind the the social democrats going

some speeches here a little bit earlier and a couple of oddball protesters referring to anglo-american as a pig amongst other things and i spoke to about a dozen people here most of them german tourists from other areas of germany all of them said that this was an important election that they were very very interested in what the results would be and most of them in fact had voted already by mail by postal vote because they are here on a trip to learn not in their home area but all of them say it that what is crucial about this election is how well badly the smaller parties to the both clearly indicated merkel is the head of a reiver shift but for many people in germany the big question is how the far right if you will fair and this election isn't it. yes indeed it will be the first time and this is very likely the a.f.p. the alternative for germany is polling at about ten percent of the vote at the moment it's very very likely that this party will enter parliament for the first time the first time that a party of this nature has been in the german parliament for decades there are othe

that's right besides anglo-american in the c.d.u. there is martin schultz for the s.p.d. about six months ago it appeared that schultz actually had a really strong chance of giving a run for her money but in the last six months the espy's poll numbers have sunk and it seems that really has no chance of catching up to miracle is what do you think went wrong as far as schultz and his party is concerned with whether they go off track sure there's about two things the most important thing is that the s.p.d. has been in a governing coalition with the c.d.u. for the past several years so schultz really in a way is running as an incumbent but a less important incumbent so the s.p.d. hasn't really been able to come up with a separate platform and they haven't been able to articulate what they have to offer that's different than what america has already done so well so schultz for example in the debate last week with medical he wasn't really able to criticize her her platform or her policies in any kind of meaningful way so the s.p.d. doesn't have anything to offer voters addition

anglo-american herself the chancellor she is even more popular than her party her popularity was damaged during the micro crisis it dipped quite dramatically she's recovered from that if you ask germans now who they want as the next chancellor one and two a good fifty percent will say so what happened to much in this campaign very strong with the schultz effect as it was called but somewhere along the line the numbers started going down what happened i think two things happened first of all a strategic mistake he based his campaign on the issue of social inequality. unfortunately for him germany the german economy is in robust health unemployment is low wages are rising even if it's just a slight rise at the moment people are pretty content with life at the moment and you know with an issue such as social inequality you managed to attract ten percent maybe fifteen percent of the metrics just not an issue that you can win an election on so that was a major mistake and the other thing is that he just didn't manage to put forward a convincing vision of how to address some of the big threats

overall picture ok now anglo-american says that she's willing to follow and manuel macron the president and france's lead when it comes to tighter european economic integration now i'll turn a t.v. for dodged on the f.t. the right wing populists are now going to be in parliament are we going to see an upsetting of the balance in terms of germany's position in europe now overall i still believe that germany will keep its pro european stance all the parties involved the liberals the green and the christian democrats all strongly in favor of europe of european integration but certainly the debates will become stronger with the f.t. being in parliament and probably using this as a platform to voice their concerns about what they think is a wrong way to go forward but at the same time nonetheless the coalition if it comes to play will still have a ruling majority to go to go the way that these parties hold well the f.t. of course has been very critical of the government as it was they say that not enough is spent in germany on the poorest people in society they're right and they have a point

now just days after a worse than expected result in germany's general election anglo-american is dhaka on the campaign trail this time helping out ahead of a snap election in the state of lower saxony the german chancellor lending her support to a conservative party's candidate who's trying to win back the state from the social democrats doing so with give merkel and a conservative a much needed boost as they try to forge a new government course alicia in berlin now the new government isn't the only challenge facing politicians in the german capital with six different parties and a record number of deputies in the parliament they're going to have to be creative to find space for everyone. space is now a scarce commodity in this prime location in central berlin the new german parliament is going to be the biggest and most costly ever in post-war history instead of four now six parties have to divide up the photo is where the meeting rooms are but who is going to share with whom. probably the a if you will be far away from us if i can choose. nobody wants to sit next to the f.t. in the p

finding the right course will be a major issue but anglo-american doesn't see flaws in her party's priorities it can see what we now need to change. from actually building a coalition will be a tricky task she has to bring together how conservative to very insistent party c.s.u. with the greens and the liberals also three want their own demands to be met. in my view it's absolutely essential that we set out a clear commitment to stemming the influx of refugees in other words a cap on numbers. that's what we've promised people. to do just cause we end the present humanitarian refugee policy the business friendly f.t.p. has already described its main goal to avoid the traditional language the direction of politics this needs to be a turning point and if that's impossible they'll go into a position. up that's the opposite shaun for the german bundestag difficult times might be ahead. now for some of the other stories making news around the world iraqi kurds are waiting for the official results of an independence referendum a voter turnout of more than seventy percent of the outcome of the non-bi

convinced that it's going to be but going to take much longer than last time in twenty thirty even anglo-american form the last grand coalition with the social democrats it took three months now we've got three parties involved and especially the greens and the liberal democrats have very much to send in many regards mostly the euro the liberal democrats are not friends of further and stronger integration of the european union they don't like the idea of a common e.u. budget they don't like the idea of a common finance minister for the eurozone and. this uncertainty is reflected on the markets today the euro dollar exchange rate slumped overnight it's now trading about one cents lower than before the weekend the euro fell below one dollar ninety mm again and on that issue of a finance minister for the euro zone that's exactly why my point does not get along with the f.t.p. tell me what to the greens in the f.t.p. if they're going to work within a coalition have in common. well innovation is a word that both parties use a lot it's very unlikely that the two will descend on you know questions like

that they have and how they're going to put it to use you know they took a million votes off of anglo-american as conservatives this time around miracle meanwhile is trying to build a coalition and right now the most likely candidates are the pro-business f.d.p. and the environmentalists party the greens how is that going to work well the those are actually quite an easy bedfellows there are a number of areas where they absolutely do not agree on policy the way that it works is that the parties get together and essentially compare the pro. grahams that they have come up with prior to the election programs that are intended as a guide to their voters about what it is they're going to do if they get into office and then look for possible areas of overlap i can tell you where they're definitely going to find possible areas of divergence policy on the e.u. they're the put the business friendly free democrats are much more unwilling to see increased integration within the eurozone they essentially want a lot of power to be retained in national governments where is the greens they would like to see

christian democrats are doing better at that than martin schulz is social democrats if you look at anglo americans popularity ratings you know she did have a dip last year and the year before but she's recovered she is hasn't quite got the popularity that she used to have but it really about half german voters would like to see her as the next chancellor so her popularity goes beyond party preferences so as i say it's a bit of both a lot of trust in her party but even more and. i think that the fact that she will be chancellor is not going to be a surprise to anyone tomorrow but these same polls are putting the a.f.d. the alternative for germany party at you know twelve thirteen percent potential that would definitely mean that they are in the bundesliga what would that be for germany it would mean a complete change in tone in parliamentary debates you're right they are polling the polls are diverging a little bit some of them have a temp a cent but it's going up to twelve percent. and i think we will see something like that level of support for the f.t. and that means they'll have sixty seventy e

someone who's been in power for a long time the challenge always is a bit of a disadvantage for an anglo-american of case she has been governing this country for twelve years now and she's very well established she's quite well respected as we sit across the political spectrum and i think there is this element of stability of continuity that is playing an important role at the moment one has the sense that all over the world things are less stable than they used to be we're talking now about north korea about also about the situation for instance with crimea the relations to russia the united states president not being quite the kind of person that one used to have. under these circumstances i think there are many voters who say let's stick with what we've got what we know what's reliable and that sense of continuity is something that plays into america's hands well at the same time that voters are sticking with merkel some of them are abandoning other parties such as the s.p.d. or the greens perhaps i mean i don't want to say that this is just voters moving from those blocks into the f.d.a. i th

finding the right course will be a major issue but anglo-american doesn't see flaws in her party's priorities it can see what we now need to change. for america building a coalition will be a tricky task she has to bring together her conservative but very insistent party c.s.u. with the greens and the liberals also three want their own demands to be met. if in my view it's absolutely essential that we set out a clear commitment to stemming the influx of refugees in other words a cap on numbers. that's what we've promised people. to do cause we end the present a humanitarian refugee policy the business friendly f.t.p. has already described its main goal to avoid the traditional language the direction of politics this needs to be a turning point and if that's impossible they'll go into a position. up that's the opposite to on the newly elected parliamentary groups are now holding their first meetings for the far right a.f.p. entering parliament for the first time it's been a bumpy start party co-leader folk appear to be wants to keep her seat but says she won't join her party's talum and regrou

institutions everybody expected that anglo american will be the stronger stronger partner will remain a german german chancellor will she remain the same strong german chancellor is another question and so a number of countries have fears that she could turn out weaker that she could be less of a strong supporter partner at the side particularly france for instance and one signal of that is for instance the foreign minister of austria coming forward saying look hurst her policies on migration her. or her to soft approach to migration has clearly backfired so the first critics are approaching and that clearly is a concern on the on the european agenda. so garrett when we drill down though into some of these potential changes because on the face of it not much just changing because it looks like angela merkel will remain at the helm but presumably if she goes into this so-called jamaica coalition some of these federal minister as well change what is that likely to mean for the. there is of course at a time when the e.u. is about to reform itself something that the head of the european c

and then the biggest boost for this party for they came in really with the refugee policy of anglo-american some here are only worried as they're called worried citizens but there they are when they are when you ask them they're worried that germany couldn't cope with the sheer number of people that came from different countries from different cultures but then there's also a big percentage of those voters that are simply and openly racist and xenophobic one of the the west where there was at a particular part to the sorts of people the sorts of issues who are voting for the f.t. west in germany. i think the cultural and and societal explanation that i have just delivered this anti-globalization anti elite feeling that is even more important in the west in the east this is you know far big problem that was explained again and again also by the communist past i mean twenty eight years ago the fall this was a communist country the wall came down twenty eight years before and in this time there are people lived here in quite close society they had no experience with people from other cultures

emea of consul to germany was a brief one but an important staging post for his majesty meeting anglo-american before going on to meet president mccall at the end is a promise in paris the point to make here is the fundamental element that germany has been playing through its foreign ministers it might go in trying to bring the discordant notes the the parties in this crisis together in the same room where possible to hammer out some sort of solution because the german design here is to play a broader role diplomatically speaking in the gulf and they hope that the into session will be in some way able to bring about the kind of solution that all sides say they want to bring about the point point therapy is really what is now showing all of this benefit we think other immunotherapy will do that as well including adopted t. cell therapy and these other ways of engineering the t. cells before giving them back to patients you wouldn't think of chemotherapy surgery radiation therapy without adding any new no therapy anymore you've now changed that whole paradigm yes i'm i'm very proud i think you k

and with the german election in a little over two weeks' time at many say a victory for anglo-american is a foregone conclusion but not the chancellor herself. coming down we need isn't gentleman we hear a lot here that the german election has already been decided i'm telling you that this is simply not true. the latest polls show a party breaking away from him main rival martin shows his social democratic party however so-called third parties mail saying play a key role if a majority can't be formed in government as peeta all of our explains. with most pundits already calling this german election a win for. schultz there isn't a great deal of intrigue there what's more exciting though has been the battle for third place and who will perhaps be called the kingmaker in the next coalition government the smaller parties in germany providing a lot more than that big arrivals. delicateness or p.s.s. on our long beach of guns. to those close to him out of shape. and he finished only wanted to present to me. about. nazis. bringing some scandal and controversy to the relatively calm seas of th

with less than two weeks until the german election the anglo american of christian democrats are way out in front in the polls there are expectations about a possible coalition with the s.p.d. among the mix of likely loses is the green party though one's quite a popular party some say the greens have lost their connection with their voting base. what is the craziest thing you have ever done. the fact i'm not going to tell you that here it is an equal it's one i'm sure you already know the rocky road from during a card wants to be in a coalition with the c.d.u. vast is crazy crazy now. back in the eighty's the greens were founded by environmentalists and peace activists entering the bundestag in one thousand nine hundred three a few years later their popularity enabled them to enter a coalition with the then ruling social democrats their party leader was even given the job of foreign minister we spoke to the party's m.p. in europe a new report about the claims the greens have lost their way. we would like to pass an immigration law regulating those who can enter the labor market we wa

itself some people have said that it's a bit it's a bit bit boring and predictable people saying anglo american is going to get what another four years taking up to sixteen is it boring is it predictable is that mean that germany is happy with what it has. well germany is not a single block of people or the don't forget that in germany today there are six to eight million people under the poverty line so when when we say for instance germany's ruling europe etc oh it's german big business and not the mass of the german population some of whom are actually impoverishing two are amazing degree for such a rich country so but yes she will win you know why why should it be boring i mean it would be very important if she feels mandated to take a more positive look at the european situation and let's say depart from the from the robbery policies that are being pursued with the rest of europe and also the confrontation policy with russia which i think is disastrous also for germany and for the german economy. takes preacher you coming on to speak to us there from the netherlands my guess this case foun
