left liberal green party actually surpassing them for a time in national polls and with initially lukewarm approval of their chance, the candidate. so if the cfc were to dislodge the c, d. u in sundays, local election, that could be quite painful for the national c d, u, as a party and for it's moderate middle of the road chancellor candidate. how, how solid would you say is the cds lead right now? so the percentage points, which is what they're getting in the, in some call that's quite a good strong lead above the margin of error. but according to one of the latest flows at least 37 percent of those pools are still undecided. and there have been indications in the past that support for the a f t maybe under reported in some polls. so that we could hope if you surprised however, preventative is this small east and states if we see the, the flourish lead. does that mean it's looking at national success? possibly in september? no, nothing like success. it could have infect me unhealthy a f t t a far better in the former east than in the western part of the country. that's partly because of an ongoing sense amongst some eastern germans, even 32 years after the fall of the wa

medical c, d. u party misses, insecure party managed to defeat the far i. they have the insects now and also have kept the greens as bay you think you can pull that off in september again? i think so, but 1st of all, we have to see that it's a good result for the c d u, it's a good result for the democratic voters. hope it's the end of the discussion. if there is a difference between the new states in germany and the old states, we had some discussion than the last days. and in the end, you can see our voters of voting democratic parties. and in the end, it will be a boost. the also for the cdo from the conservative party for the federal elections, i think. but the problem though is many seem to have turned to your party just to avoid the victory of the far right. not necessarily because they like to see the you so much i think we have a very good plan minister in the facts, none out. that's a very strong leader of the party in this state. so that's one reason. another reason is of course not to have a strong, ultra right and strong ultra left. so the voter

c d. u party. welcome to the w. one of the goals of this call is to secure elections in december. how realistic do you think that deadline is? it's difficult. it's just because we all from the latter libya conference in germany, beginning of last year, that to failure and success is close by. it. it fails so to say in the question of stopping every weapon delivery to the pocket, the libya because of some, some partners or some participants of the conference last year while undergoing they would. okay. lation. but on the other hand, we reach the cheese fire, reached a compromise on the new government and an agreement on this election day. and i think the presence of several foreign ministers of important countries like secretary french, 75 minutes turkish 5 minutes, he and berlin. it's a good time. that's all voice travelling success of this conference and success would be having an election day on the 24th of september and having the stop of a part of time to make sure that she's via it's not only temporary and long lasting situation. and you have the presence of so many foreign p

ask what's up with those opinion polls and even the most optimistic one, put, i'm going to macros c d u party, not above 30 percent. now it might be $36.00 that these exit polls translate into results and nobody has seen the sd do below $23.00. and that is exactly what happened here, according to those exit polls. so a big question marks of how much the polling is, was, and a resounding victory for the conservative c d u policy, which is bad the needs going into what has so far been a rather shaky election campaign. right, so residing, victory appears for the cd. you know, many sort mckayla that the, the f d part he could win. what did the c v u offer that the a f d, couldn't the, well, it did offer a much more conservative tone than many conservative activity fear is mainstream. grammatical, of course, often having criticized, having shifted the party more towards the center, kind of has off the state premier quite clearly gained trust on popularity over those past 5 years. and that is something that we've also seen in previous regional elections that often appeared to be the exception from

c. d u party. and he is the chairman of the european parliament foreign affairs committee . good morning to you, mister mcallister. let's take a look 1st at this breakthrough in this era. air bus, boeing trade dispute. how significant do you think that is for this transit learning reset or good morning from brussels? i think this was a very positive visit. the u. s. president to europe until now. first of the g 7 summit in england and the native summit and then the height of the e u. u. s. meeting and clearly the united states, back the trans atlantic alliances back on the trans atlantic relations of crucial importance for us in the european union. i'm the 2 main pillars, our security and defense on the one hand on trade, on the other hand. and if we now managed to solve this dispute, which has been keeping us busy for nearly 20 years, and that is certainly a good positive step in the right direction. i hope the steps can follow in the next years. okay, so the broad strokes are there, but are you disappointed that we didn't see the by the ministration, scrap of those terrori

he's the german lawmaker foreign policy spokesmen of chancellor michael c d u party and he was previously the german government's coordinator for trans atlantic relations. good morning, mr. hart. so from your perspective in germany, did you see that hint of progress? i think her for all those who believe in the diplomatic solution of international context and what we saw yesterday from geneva, it's encouraging and from the german and european best perspective, i think it's important to hear that both will book russia and us work hard on the and controller, you know that the i n f treaty, which is important for the security of europe. it's out of function at the moment and also the open sky treaty, which makes it possible to, to investigate and to look behind the curtains of both sides is also stopped. and therefore, we appreciate that both agreed on a continuing control with discussions and concerning cyber. i think we have german elections in september. we saw dr. beside that tech on the put the top of all coming from vs and be highly interested in having no influence on driver. and so w

c d. u party, for the man chosen to lead that party into september's federal vars. longs having chancellor, anglo myrtle is stepping down, i must say needs a decisive went in the state election to enjoy confidence and new party chief armand lustrous. but pulse show that the far right 80 is running a close 2nd. and researches at a volcano observatory and democratic republic of congo are blaming mismanagement for their failure to predict eruption at mountain are gone. go and a letter to president felix difficulty volcano. observe is complained of unpaid salaries and outdated equipment. now the other option killed more than 30 people and destroyed thousands of homes last month. conservationists are trying to protect some of them, bob boys, historical heritage. some of the oldest buildings in the capital herrera have been destroyed, to make way for modern developments. her test report had out in bobby's capital city, founded in 890 by british colonial settlers. this city used to be known as solsbury when the country was called rhodesia. more than 100 years later, modern buildings have come up.

c. d. u party house slips and it could be overtaken by the far right alternatives to germany. it is a key cd you need and the chancellor handed it. i mean luscious. sunday's pole is the last regional boat before the general election on september the 26th. and the 1st in 16 years, not to feature. i'm going to map or have to read houses and they will. st. cleveland book is famous for its old town. but with very few tourists visiting, doing the pandemic wheatland, both of us have turned their attention to the upcoming state election. the far right a s d is said to gain a quarter of the vote and it's moving wants to go to the state parliament for caitlin book. he's complaining with slogans like get your country. that was the one i want to become. we want our old ways back. we don't want to take anything away from anyone. we just went back the country that existed before the wave of immigration velo license and we want the old state of things again to start the mission of the i. if the stokes and immigration sentiment, even though the 3 percent of the city residents, immigrants som

most western states, at the same time, the key message from this was that, i mean, last it, the c d u party leader now stands a real tons to succeed uncle michael for real as jem and tom. so there were a lot of question marks whether he would be able to school with his concert to see, to you would be able to school with him as a continuity candidate at the helm of this campaign made many had wished for someone else mako food from bavaria, now he's proved that at least he doesn't stand in the way of election victory on the cd. you going into the lead, so it's a more open race. now it's a sigh of relief in the c d. u. conservative headquarters and it will be a very interesting way staticky between the greens and uncle michael c. d u. k. that's usually the w g physical offense you judges and the netherlands have begun to hearing evidence against foremen who are suspected of being behind the dawning of malaysia airlines flight mh 17 over eastern ukraine hearing in the murder trial has just got on the way it's being held on saddam's, skip all that was from where 17 took off on his final flight.

big political force here, but it was weakened and that the same time and i'm going to michael's c d u party led by the incumbent state premier and has a loss so that they can become stronger. so these are 2 factors that huge success. i'm going to michael's and political camp and for her want to be successful unless it who lead the potter party as party leader. but also is tons the kansas in those elections in september, which will determine the future of the entire country. so not very many people who went to the polls. 1.8000000 voters here in saxony and house. but the timing of course, was also essential, as we're just going into the hot phase of the election campaign. because now reporting there. well, let's take a look now assume of the other stories making use around the world. the duke and duchess associates are now parents of a baby girl. little bit, lily diana named baton windsor. it was born on friday. she's named in honor of queen elizabeth and princess diana. both mother and baby are doing well. the american born royal is 8th in line to the british throne. the italian coast guard

c d. u. one more than a 3rd of the vote, the f d last votes, but remains the 2nd biggest party in the state. parliament followed by the left party, the social democrats, the greens and the business, friendly, free democrats and office. this ballot was closely watched as it was the last test, the public opinion before september national elections. for months in the pose, 2 parties were breathing down each other's next. here in the eastern german state of sack, to me on house, in the endo, a resounding unexpectedly strong wind for the conservative fee to you and nothing close to an upset from the far right alternative to germany a f d. i was just on lots of devices, have taken a clear stand logo and a large majority of our citizens have said, we don't want to be associated in any way with the 3 latest date. if they say 10, i'm very grateful for the shipping done on many here in sex to me on how to relatively poorest days to be a f. d could win and would, when it had pulled strongly for months, capitalizing on voted. dissatisfaction with the pandemic while keeping to its core and team aggressio

now, what does this c d u victory mean on a national level? is it likely that the party will repeat this success in september? is it too early to tell? it certainly will give the c d u a boost as a lot of happiness in the faces of c d. u representative today because they have scored a significant victory here. but on a national level, the c d u as a lot weaker than these 36 percent that it polled instruction on how it's somewhere around 25 to 30 percent. and it's the biggest challenge at the moment on a national level are the green's is the green party. so that's a completely different face off that we can expect in the national elections. and those are still 4 months away. so a lot can still happen in that time. so the c d u will take some sort of momentum from this result from these elections. but it's certainly not a done deal that it's going to have as much success in the national reactions as it had in this region. right. so it's not a done deal, but what are you taking away from these results? is there anything that really stood out for you surprised you perhaps? i

it's seen as a major test for the ruling c, d u, and for the man chosen to lead the party into september's federal votes. the long serving chancellor anglo merkel is stepping down. analysts say it needs a decisive win in the state election to ensure confidence in the new party chief arm. and last but poll, so the far right a f d is running a close 2nd. iraq's military say to drones, have been intercepted and shot down over the i n a. i said the air base which hosts us forces a month ago. the same bass was targeted by an arm drone last year. iran attacked the site in retaliation for the assassination of general cost and to lay money in the u. s. air strike. the u. s. deployed extra defense systems to the base. humans government says 17 people have been killed in a missile attack. a petrol station was hit in the city of about 120 kilometers east of sun art. the information minister is blaming with the rebels. the group launched a renewed offensive on in february and almighty delegation has arrived in evans capital for talks with who the leaders discussions will focus on holding the fighting

and now what does this c d u. victory mean on a national level? like, is it likely that the party will repeat this success in september? is it too early to tell? it certainly will give the c d u a boost. there's a lot of happiness in the faces of c d. u representative today because they have scored a significant victory here. but on a national level to see you as a lot weaker than these 36 percent that it pulled insects and the unheard. it's somewhere around 25 to 30 percent. and it's the biggest challenge at the moment on a national level are the green's is the green party. so that's a completely different face off that we can expect in the national elections. and those are still 4 months away. so a lot can still happen in that time. so the c d u will take some sort of momentum from this result from these elections. but it's certainly not a done deal that it's going to have as much success in the national reactions as it had in this region. all right, so it's not a done deal, but what are you taking away from these results? is there anything that really stood out for you surprise
