of parliament, they did not appoint their own chairman of parliament, it became a person from the cdu partyexactly the same will happen now when it comes to the head of government, and how much did the cdu get and how much did the dds get, the difference there is 1%. the difference is not very big, it is even less than 1%, but that is another question, sarah theoretically, such opportunities do arise, because the situation is a dead end, it can play the role of that small party that appoints the king, all this can happen exactly in this way, but simply returning to the fact that there are rules, and there are concepts, in germany they live by concepts, not by rules, now there is advertising, let's continue with it. so says the lighthouse. are you used to watching videos on the network? has it stopped working? we install, open, watch. russian channels all series. movies and cartoons, educational programs and documentaries. watch, watch in the app or on the website. what were you hiding behind the trees somewhere in the lights you have locked me up here lights the lights zhan ivan i can't liv

this union is not even a year old, and it is already nipping at the heels of the cdu party, created inn the occupied usa, britain and france. territory of west germany, but sarah wagengneh has a serious trump card against the old men from the christian democratic union: she, unlike this party, which calls itself christian, really does not want war for her country. for this position, the pro-government press calls her an agent of putin, as in france, the right-wing marine le pen, that is , the kremlin agents in both france and germany are attacking pro-american, pro-nato, pro-brussels leaders. left, right. do not be deceived if about someone they say that he is putin's friend if he stands for peace and democracy. in addition to good relations with russia, both parties afd and the union of sarah wagenknecht, who bypassed scholz, who was stuck at a broken traffic light, one on the right, the other on the left, share a bad attitude towards migration, despite the fact that in germany more than 22 million people have a migrant background, to new arrivals. more than 70% of german citizens, ac

two major parties, the cdu and the social democrats, are already demanding that illegals be deported . they are demanding what they are demanding. yesterday, the alternative for germany was called nazis. but social policy is an integral part of economic policy, which has also finally turned into a path of death. about 20 years ago, the future authorities of the frg painted it like this: a well-fed burgher in an electric car, we are overshadowed by the blades of electric wind turbines and the atmosphere is filled with the aromas of herbs and universal love. it was set only with love, you can love as you please, the authorities monitor this strictly. if anyone disagrees, they will be mentally punished. wind turbines turned out to be an insignificant replacement for traditional power plants, because of the energy deficit in the country, they even restarted coal-fired power plants closed earlier by environmentalists. but the path of death, like decalla, you can’t turn back for anything. european countries are betting on peaceful atoms, and germany closed its last nuclear power plant in a

negotiations first of all with the cdu. 30-31% of the votes give the dpg another mandate to form a local government, and the junior partners only need to invite one partytion: the conservatives. from the cdu, finishing with with a result of around 12%. the first bad news for the chancellor: his own party does not associate the victory in brandenburg with the name of scholz. moreover, this victory will not affect the reluctance of the dpg to see him in a year among the candidates for chancellor. the unstable position of the government and its chancellor is unlikely to change. according to a recent poll, only 3% of the population supports the traffic light coalition. the chancellor remains chronically unpopular. the news is no better. 29%, the alternative for germany becomes the winner, which, taking into account the results in thuringia and saxony the most powerful political force in the territories of the former gdr, plans to compete with the first-tier parties of the cdu and sdp at the federal level in a year. this evening, we said that no matter how it goes, we are still the winners today, this evening is also important because we have reached the 20

negotiations first with the cdu. 30-31% of the votes are given from... the dpg another mandate to form a local government, and the junior partners only need to invite one partye coalition: the conservatives from the cdu, who will finish with a result of around 12%. the first bad news for the chancellor: his own party does not associate the victory in brandenburg with the name of scholz. moreover, this victory will not affect the dpg's reluctance to see him as a candidate for chancellor in a year. an unstable situation government and its chancellor is unlikely to change, according to recent. germany as a protest party, which led it to triple success, recognizing the effectiveness of the alternative for the beginning of the month in thuringia and saxony, and now in brandenburg, to write off all the merits entirely to its account. probably, it is not worth it, after all, the alternative was greatly helped by the scholz government itself. over 3 years, the government has worked so hard that the coalition partners of the social democrats in the federal government, the greens and freedom. after the announcement of the results, fellow party members foreign minister

on the projected result 0thers after that, the centre—right and the new populist party on the left. after that, the cdue's just over 1% between these two parties. so that will provide some respite, i think, for 0laf schulz, given the fact that there were increasing calls for him to stand aside, to not be the candidate of the spd in the federal elections next year. he is deeply unpopular, according to opinion polls, and the spd avoided all mention of him in this regional election. but it also shows that the afd, even though they have been beaten into second place, have massively increased their support. in the space of three regional elections in this month, they have won one in in thuringia and they came a narrow second in saxony and here in brandenburg. so it shows that really that the the old political order in this country, as it is in much of europe, is crumbling and the far right is on the rise. capitalising on voter concerns about immigration, which consistently top the polls in terms of the main voter worry here, and also the kind of cost of living crisis with the afd's opposition to germany's s

party came in first, its opponents are having a harder time. a coalition with they exclude an alternative, and the only way out is an alliance between the cdu, the left and the wagenkneit party, however, earlier the leader of the local christian democrats banned an alliance with the left. that is, if we find a common position, if they are ready to pursue a policy in the interests of the ordinary german citizen, then of course the alternative for germany is open to such negotiations. against this background, special attention is focused on the state of brandenburg, in 2 weeks it will also have elections, according to the latest polls, the situation there is about the same as in thuringia and saxony, the afd is in the lead, and sahra wagenknecht's alliance continues to narrow the gap with the ruling parties. ekaterina. vesti. the deputy commander of the leningrad military district has been detained in a case of receiving a large bribe. this was reported by the investigative committee. major general valery mumindzhanov is suspected of receiving more than 20 million rubles for concluding contracts for the supply of ambuds, including in the special m

the party is nine points ahead of the conservative cdu and is far ahead of germany's three governing y the party will be able to form a government as it does not hold the majority of the vote. the afd is anti—immigration, wants to replace the euro with the deutschmark, and it opposes the national government's approach to the war in ukraine and climate change. demonstrators against the party's projected win gathered outside the thuringia state parliament. sunday's results are being viewed as a temperature check ahead of germany's federal elections next year. 0ur correspondentjessica parker has the latest. it's written on their faces how some feel about the far—right winning the most votes in a state election for the first time in the post—war era. news of the results has just been announced here at this anti—afd demo — you can hear boos in the crowd, and just over there is the state parliament, where the far—right will now have greater influence. right now, the fascists over here are winning. i'm not a fan of saying history is repeating itself, because i don't think so, but history som

have been three incidents in the last few days alone, dozens have happened in a year , two main parties, the cdund the social democrats, are already demanding the expulsion of illegals, they are demanding what yesterday the alternative for germany was called nazis for, but social policy is an integral part of economic policy, which has also finally turned into a path of death. about 20 years ago, the future authorities of the frg were depicted like this: a well-fed burgher in an electric car is overshadowed by the blades of electric wind turbines and the atmosphere is filled with the aromas of herbs of universal love. it only worked out with love, you can love as you please, the authorities monitor this strictly, if someone disagrees,

cdu pleading. they will look would be the biggest party going. concern that you love these parts cannot be controlled so well but there could be collaboration theoretically with potentially the cdu and the afd. it is something there's been a lot of debate about within germany so we have to see how that will evolve. the last question is there is a real question about the election in 2025. is schultz the right man to lead the spe into those votes? >> yes. there could indeed be ramifications as the leader of that party. thank you oliver. thank you for giving us the contents. continue to conversation. let me just ask you your take on these regional elections. a very interesting development. no surprise really that we have not seen so much support for these far-right parties. quickly government in berlin has been bracing for the state elections. this is a blow for filters government. the type for the centerleft, the greens, the free democrats. they barely made it into the state legislatures. the greens only made into one state and they did make the 5%

party. in the end, the cdu did so poorly that a coalition with it would not give a majority, and the greens - this means that the company, either he or the afd, clearly worked, it must be said, we were left with nothing. woidki, the current prime minister of brandenburg, who led the social democrats to victory there. it was a very difficult job that we have done in the last few months. what is the price of victory, judging by preliminary data, the spd in brandenburg is capable of creating a majority coalition, which is excluded. chaos vice-chairman of the free democrats party, they are part of the ruling coalition, received less than 1% of the votes in the state elections on tv stunned everyone. and i do not think that with the current indicators this coalition will survive until christmas. the mood in the party can be judged by the post on social networks of kubiki's associate, bundestag deputy scheffler. traffic light because of the colors of the parties that are part of it call the country's ruling coalition of social democrats, greens and free democrats, who are now facing the question

parties overcome the five percent barrier to passage in lontach brandenburg sdp - almost 31%, the alternative for germany is more than 29. the new political force, the union of sahra wagenknecht - 13.5 and the cdu christian democrats - 12%. which is surprising in itself. historically , germany's most powerful party finishes fourth, letting the left-wing political project, which is only 9 months old, pass ahead, not the most successful turn for friedrich merz, who inherited the party from angela merkel. otherwise, almost everything is expected, for example, that about a third of voters will vote for the right-wing alternative. just like at the beginning of the month in saxony and thuringia. we can celebrate a great result in brandenburg. this is already the third successful election for us. and we are the only party that consistently shows positive results. alternative for germany is the party of the future. second place in brandenburg is a small problem for alternative. if it had been first, it would have been nicer, of course, but the alternative would still have remained in the opposition. but the social democrats now seem to have serious problems with forming a regional government. there are

the two main parties, the cdu and the social democrats, are already demanding the expulsion of illegals are demanding what yesterday the alternative for germany was called nazis for. but social policy is an integral part of economic policy, which has also finally turned into a path of death. about 20 years ago, future authorities of the frg drew so, with this burgher. in an electric car we overshadow the blades of electric wind turbines and the atmosphere is filled with the aromas of herbs universal love. it was set only with love to fall in love as it comes to mind the authorities strictly monitor this, if anyone does not agree, they will immediately punish. wind turbines turned out to be an insignificant replacement for traditional power plants, because of the energy deficit in the country even coal stations closed by the environmentalist world were launched again, but the path of death, how can de stakes never. european countries are betting on peaceful atom, and germany in april 2023 closed the last nuclear power plant, and in such a way that it would be impossible to open them if s

votes were gained in these lands there by these colleagues scholzes together with the cdu, these opposition partiesrg, then they generally have the same number of deputies, how will they form the government we'll see, they'll probably have to take the saruvagen there, but that is to say, public opinion in germany is set like this, even in the eastern part, which always votes more moderately, nevertheless, it is forced to take this into account, but the international aspect is more important for us, and here you are, seeming changes or what is really happening, i also try to be careful, but now i see how events have accelerated in recent weeks, anywhere on the fronts. you are discussing this without me, but in the political part, of course, they have accelerated, and macron, whom you mentioned, in fact, whom i follow due to my job, naturally, this is a very important indicator, that is, during the svo, macron has already made a 360° turn, at the beginning, you remember, he declared that it is impossible to humiliate russia, this absolutely did not fit in. into the western stream, everyone threw up t

cdu. they're the top two parties right now. >> no, not the cdu . >> no, not the cdu. >> no, not the cdu. >> we have to move on. >> we have to move on. >> we lost the election last sunday. >> no, no, no, the cdu, we've got to move on. we got to move on.the got to move on. we got to move on. the fact they're attacking. right. well, their rhetoric is attacking. what they're all doing is trying to steal the clothes of the right. well not because they're terrified they're going to get concrete. that's. i agree with that. jan's got to move on coming up, have police crossed the line next. welcome back to farage with me . welcome back to farage with me. martin daubney covering for the big man himself. now the metropolitan police have crossed the line after they banned a badge commemorating officers killed in the line of duty. the thin blue line badge, which is sold by the charity care of police survivors, which raises cash for the families of officers killed on duty , has officers killed on duty, has been forbidden in the met's new uniform policy signed off by the met's commissioner, sir mark rowl

the top spot in a third state, it looks poised to become germany's second political party after the center right cdu as with many right-wing populist parties, the afd is rise can be largely credited to the politics of immigration the story is a familiar one. as long as mainstream political parties turn a blind eye to the seismic shifts taking place relating to immigration. they are in danger of being outflanked by the popular strike in the netherlands. builders has also gone from being an extremist firebrand with whom few would ally to the leading political player and kingmaker in the recent dutch elections there are strategies to blunt the populist right's appeal. in denmark, the centrist parties have adopted a very tough line on immigration and assimilation. tough enough to be criticized by many mainstream politicians. but the result has been that populism, which flared up in past elections seems at bay in that country. and poland, the center-right party of donald tusk for this election, not on immigration, but over the future of democracy in poland and its membership in the european union, both p

party is willing to do that. so it's probably going to be the cdu, the party that came in second place, who will try and form a coalitionree. i think this is going to be a narrative that runs on into germany's election campaign next year for their general election , year for their general election, and i think it's going to be something that the afd is really going to milk, essentially, and say, look, we were denied the rightful result. we should have beenin rightful result. we should have been in power, like help us make sure this doesn't happen again. so i think they're going to be causing a lot of trouble just with one eye on on the future. >> then can you envisage a future where the afd are the largest party in germany? >> i don't think so. i think we're some way off that. i think there is a potential future where the afd is quite a powerful opposition party, but i think we're some way off them actually being the largest party i think particularly germany with its history, has enough safeguards in place at the moment that that wouldn't be the case. >> yeah. i mean, it is it is absolutely fascinating to watch what's

then the cdu which is the conservative party, the party of chancellor angela merkel, we have seen thehort. party, a new kid on the block, ps w for short. that is headed up ps w for short. that is headed up by ps w for short. that is headed up by a woman called sarah, she is from east germany and she is trying to blend makes of amort left—wing policies economically but more conservative policies socially. a new party launched just this year and she has been placing a strong third in polls in saxony and other places. it looks like she could perform very well. looks like she could perform very well-— looks like she could perform ve well. ., ,, , . very well. thank you very much, jessica parker. _ now it's time for a look at today's sport with chetan. hello from the bbc sport centre. the first of sunday's english premier league games are underway. with the big match at old trafford between manchester united and liverpool still to come before that big spending chelsea are taking on crystal palace at stamford bridge where it's currently 1—0. nicolas jackson with the goal. newcastle tottenha

in thuringia, the right-wing alternative for germany party is in the lead. the cdu is in second place, and the unionwacht is in third. in saxony, the top three is the same. but why is the ruling coalition olaf scholz suffered a complete collapse, maria skorodilka will tell. germany has become more important to politicians than serving the interests of the united states. in these shots of dusseldorf, hundreds of west germans marched along the streets in support, the position of residents of the eastern regions. in their hands are posters: i am not fighting with russia. the escalation of the ukrainian conflict is on the conscience of the german authorities. we must be friends with russia, and by sending our weapons to ukraine, we are killing warm relations between the countries, we love the russians. scholz's coalition, although it admitted its failure. otherwise, german industry will go bankrupt. one of the leaders of bjorke's party even came to vote in a russian niva. cool cars. this is a lada niva. according to preliminary calculations , the opposition is winning i

in thuringia, the right-wing alternative for germany party is in the lead, the cdu is in second placewagenknach's union is in third place. in saxony, the afd came in second, which is why olafz's ruling coalition has suffered a complete collapse, maria skorodilka will tell you about this. the last votes have been cast, long tables line the streets. saxon cities are preparing to celebrate the results. according to the count , the opposition is in the lead in both landags, the right-wing alternative for germany, the christian democratic union and party of sarah wagenkhnecht and this is a complete defeat of the traffic light coalition of scholz now. rostov defeated fakel with a score of 4:1 in the home match of the seventh round of the rpl, two goals out of five in this meeting were scored from the penalty spot. moscow dynamo could not win in the away match with orenburg, the match ended in a 2:2 draw. orenburg opened the scoring in the 20th minute, iranian sakharkhizan distinguished himself. defender of the hosts perez, on the seventy-second muscovites took the lead, thanks to an accurat

the cdu, the party in government in, in germany have said they visited rwanda nine months ago as parting of their policy. they leading figures claimed the plans would deter migrants of it all. john. >> come on john, you can't say it's not going to work. if they say, hang on a moment. >> look, the politics of this is weirdly simple and similar. in germany, the government made the coalition government may fail in the spring. what have they got? what's their problem? they're being there's a real danger of the far right in germany doing as well as they did recently in thuringia. >> so they're getting a policy alternative fur deutschland. >> so they've got to say something to those people to say, don't worry, we're thinking about things. we're considering all sorts of actions, including rwanda. we've heard that before. >> oh, well, you're absolutely we know that. we've heard it from our own government. >> they're saying it would act as a deterrent. and i think there might be evidence even to prove that there was even even in ireland, even boris says, why can't we give this? >> wait a minut

or, the cdu, which will be the opposition party vying for thatjob.r agendas.— problem squarely on top of their agendas. how did we get here? of course, _ their agendas. how did we get here? of course, there - their agendas. how did we get here? of course, there is - their agendas. how did we get here? of course, there is that| here? of course, there is that frustration, i think it is fair to say, from many parts of society with chancellor 0laf scholz and his coalition. do you think that there is something that he could have done? 0r something that he could have done? or do you think that there is something that he will do to try to allay some of these concerns? you mentioned, of course, the federal elections as well next year, and one would imagine that he will have an eye keenly on that? ~ �* ., ., ., that? well, he'll have to and he'll have — that? well, he'll have to and he'll have to _ that? well, he'll have to and he'll have to be _ that? well, he'll have to and he'll have to be saying - that? well, he'll have to and he'll have to be saying that

cdu-hs believes. in this form, even the parties of the ruling coalition are ready to support the resolution, and this split. relations with neighbors are also falling apart. the polish prime minister cancelled his visit to germany because of german initiatives. you cannot force people to say that they entered through poland. therefore poland is responsible for them. you cannot tell them at the border that they must pronounce the word asylum there and not here. this would be desirable from a german point of view, but we cannot put it into people's mouths. the german authorities are forced to take on the migrants by elections. the ruling coalition is currently losing them miserably at the local level, next year will be a disaster. maybe already in the bundestag elections, only the problem of illegal immigrants seems insoluble: germany is not a hungary that resists, it accepted refugees millions, so there won't be enough police or buses for everyone. denis davidov, anastasia barkovskaya, aleftina sorokina and andrey ivanov, news from germany. and again to the situation in the special operation zone, the

then the cdu, which is the sort of conservative party, of course, that was the party of chancellor angelaositions, trying to sound tougher on these issues as well. so there is that kind of response. and then really interestingly as well, there's a new party, a new kid on the block called the sort of alliance bfw for short. --bsw. now that is headed up by a woman called sahra wagenknecht. she's from east germany, and she's trying to blend a mix of more left wing policies economically, but more conservative policies socially. a new party launched just this year, and she's been placing a strong third in polls in both saxony and thuringia, so she looks like she could perform really well. jessica parker in germany. now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. the first of sunday's english premier league games are into the second half, with the big match at old trafford between manchester united and liverpool under an hour away. before that, big spending chelsea are taking on crystal palace at stamford bridge where it's currently i—i. nicolas jackson's goal cancel

asylum summit between the acting government in germany and the largest opposition party being the conservatives, the cdupolicy. and obviously fazer already stated that the so—called thorough controls or tough controls will not affect people, that that do not affect people, that that do not ask for asylum. so they will actually be no change from the present, from the present situation. it seems right now as if that was just really a scam move or something, to just ask for electoral purposes. so most likely nothing will change in german border policies. yet again. >> okay, well that's superb of doctor paul brandenburg and there'll be a lot of people watching this in the united kingdom and wish that we could get as tough with our borders as germany. thank you very much for joining us on the show. always a pleasure. now, lots more still to come between now and 6:00, including the president of the turkish republic of northern cyprus is visiting the uk this week with a key aim of calling on the uk to be bold and stand up against the united nations and the eu. that's my kind of talk. but first, here's your lat

early predictions suggest it will be the largest party — ahead of the conservative cdu — but is unlikelyly in saxony. if confirmed, it would give the far right its first vote win in a state parliament since world war ii — although it has little hope of forming a government in thuringia. jessica parker has the latest from germany. it's written on their faces how some feel about the far—right winning the most votes in a state election for the first time in the post—war era. news of the results has just been announced here at this anti—afd demo — you can hear boos in the crowd, and just over there is the state parliament, where the far—right will now have greater influence. right now, the fascists over here are winning. i'm not a fan of saying history is repeating itself, because i don't think so, but history sometimes is similar, and that's what's happening over here right now. i am totally worried. actually, of course, next year also, we have the total elections for the german parliament, so i'm kind of seeing this as, like, a test for how it will work next year as well. this is alternati

party. in the end, the cdu performed so poorly that a coalition with it will not provide a majority, and the greens were thrown out of wantagh altogether. the cdu will not be able to fulfill its promises if they decide to join the left-wing coalitions there. the only long-term solution is now in the hands of the afd. incidentally, history is repeating itself: 5 years ago, here in brandenburg, the social democrats also snatched victory of alternative for germany with a minimum difference of 3%. now the gap is even smaller. the current prime minister of brandenburg. the state of brandenburg, because one of the biggest goals for us at the beginning of our campaign was to ensure stability, political stability, and i think that now we have the opportunity to get a stable government for the next 5 years. how this is possible is still, however, completely unclear. at the moment, the spd in brandenburg is capable of creating a majority coalition with alternative for germany, which is naturally still excluded one candidate party sahra wagenknecht. here too, no way. she is a staunch opponent of the de

the spd and cdu showed the lowest result in history. we are the party of the future. if you want political changes, then vote for the afd. the traditional or, as they are also called , mainstream parties of germany in brandenburg are exhausted. the greens, free liberals and leftists did not even reach the passing 5%. the christian democratic union with 12% is in fourth place. israel attacked the territory of lebanon this morning, the country's defense army reported. according to the military, the fire was directed at objects belonging to the hezbollah movement. earlier , a school in palestine was bombed by israel. the building was located west of gaza, in the camp refugees, where families displaced from other regions are located. fanklava. sahal said that the target was armed hamas radicals, so the military tried to take all measures to ensure that civilians did not come under fire. however, palestinian media reported seven dead. over the weekend, israel attacked another school under the same pretext. there , 13 teenagers and six women were killed. meanwhile, another

just behind them, the afd, the far right, 29.6%, and others after that, the cdu, the centre—right and the new populist partyhat will provide some respite for olaf scholz given the fact that there were increasing calls for him to stand aside and not to be the candidate, for the spd in the federal elections next year, he is deeply unpopular according to opinion polls, and the spd avoided all mention of him in this regional election. but it shows the afd, even though they have been beaten into second place, have massively increased their support. in the space of three regional elections this month, they have won one and came narrowly in second in another area. so it shows the old political order in this country, as it is in much of europe, is crumbling, and the far right is on the rise. capitalising on voter concerns about immigration, which consistently top the polls in terms of the main worry here. and the cost of living crisis with the afd�*s opposition to germany's support for ukraine. these were all concerns and these were all issues that really chimed with voters here, particularly young voters who suppo

, since according to party representatives, the goal this evening was to send dietmar woidke into retirement. there is no alternative to the afd in the elections. the spd and the cdu have dropped their masks, everyone has seen that they are one and the same party, our goal was to send dietmar woidke into retirement, and we have shown a strong result. and yet, despite the general feeling of disappointment that reigns in the headquarters, gratitude to voters quickly appeared on the afd social networks, and the federal chairwoman of the afd called her comrades the winners of this evening from the stage. project called the deportation party. the afd and scholz's party made roughly the same leap compared to the previous elections of the previous cycle, adding about 5% each. and these elections, experts believe, show how contradictory the worlds are in brandenburg, on the one hand the environs of berlin, on the other hand these are regions that, for example, are heavily affected by migration, and the people living there feel invisible to politicians. regional elections are also traditionally seen, of course, as... the main candidate of the party that won today for the p

so what we're going to see i'm almost convinced as a kind of cdu, csu merkel's formed the party that has also moved further to the right. and in many ways encroached on many of these policy ideas of the ifd they come out ahead. >> the big question is going to be to whom do they turn for a coalition? and while that wall that has enough against the ifd entering government, come down a wall in which we see as will the elections up until now and tomorrow, the kind there are cracks in this particular wall and going forward and i think that that election will be therefore shaped by this kind of rhetoric. >> and this move to the right, all the way through now into 2025 dominic thomas, as always, we appreciate your analysis. >> thank you so much. >> thank you, rana monday night to our whohole story, , speciale candidates and their record on the e key issueses of the elect season she anticipates the strength of what the blowback back might be. >> she is a leader who sees around corners. >> whahat does theheir past tels about t how they wilill lead onf the things that i think people misreaead

party. as a result, the cdu performed so poorly that a coalition with it will not give a majority, and the greens were completely thrown out of wantagh. the cdu will not be able to fulfill its promises if they decide to join the left-wing coalitions. the only long-term the decision is now in the hands of the afd. sahra wagenknecht is also popular there. in a word, east germans are disillusioned with the policies of the ruling parties and the prospects for scholz's re-election as chancellor are becoming increasingly vague. the whole point is that the ruling coalition has made a lot of mistakes in many areas over the past three years, that is, germany is facing a very serious economic crisis, the economy is already falling, many concerns are closing their production and moving it abroad, unemployment is growing, that is, huge, huge economic problems that the government is essentially unable to solve, that is, no program has been presented to save them. economy high prices for energy resources, that is, on the one hand, we know because of the closure of our own nuclear power plants, on the other han

party. in the end, the cdu performed so poorly that a coalition with it will not work majority, and the greenscked out of lontag altogether. the cdu will not be able to fulfill its promises if they decide to join the left-wing coalitions there. the only long-term solution is now in the hands of the afd. the crisis is obvious. the spd in brandenburg is currently capable of creating a majority coalition, for example, with an alternative for germany, which is naturally excluded. another candidate is the party of sarah waagingnecht, which is in third place according to the election results. here too, there is no way, because waagingnecht is an ardent opponent of the deployment of american missiles in germany and the pumping of ukraine weapons. moreover, the afd can now get a blocking majority, which means torpedoing a number of decisions. germany is ruled by a party cartel, which basically. shares the same agenda, be it the eu, saving in euros, immigration, there are few differences here, that's why i call it a cartel party system in germany, and this needs to be changed. just three weeks ago in t

with an expected third of the vote but numbers show a much closer race between the two parties in saxony, where the cdu is leading by less than one point well meanwhile, the german chancellor, the social democratic party, is bracing for disappointing results. these local elections are viewed as a litmus test for ola scholz and his coalition partners ahead of next she's general elections cnn spoke with a political scientist, liana fix, about what the rise of the afd party could mean for german politics yeah, it is quite a dramatic resolved and we do not only see a big victory, but extreme wide afd party, but we also see a wise and left-wing populism. >> so especially eastern german states, we have a polarization of the political landscape that makes it almost impossible to build a center coalition by the governing parties. and that has repercussions for the federal elections in germany in september 2025, it makes the government in berlin a lame-duck of parts of gerami's classify afd as a suspected right-wing extremist group, while the party's top candidate in thuringia it has been fined twice for using

party has. saxony are going to make a coalition of the cdu, the social democrats, the union of the old wagent. let's see what the situation will be in thuringia, because it will be even more difficult with the coalition there due to the percentage ratio. it cannot be ruled out that in order to block the alternative in thuringia they can form such an unusual coalition of the cdu. plus the social democrats, plus saravtnost, what about in saxony? well, let's see. a lot of attention is traditionally riveted to the elections in saxony and thuringia. it is believed that the mentality of the inhabitants of these regions is somewhat different from population of the western regions, their choice is always indicative. well, besides, saxony's business had many contracts with russia before the sanctions policy announced by the west. now, entrepreneurs, saxony and local residents are suffering losses. the problem of migrants is still relevant... the afd party, let me remind you, achieved its popularity just in 2015 during the migration crisis, but as the spectator writes, the alternative for germany is sup

than when, they are in power only because this situation is not bad for the three parties, and that people are tired of the cduneral, the winner of the elections was not the social democrats, but the cdu, they became the real winners of the elections, that is, on yours opinion, this new alliance, it may become a new member of the coalition, yes of course, and i think it will, it is absolutely real, and there is another important point, there were two people's parties. "social democrats and christian democrats, here are these election results in saxony and thuringia, and that's exactly how it will be in brandenburg, i think they can show an important thing that social democrats". no longer a people's party, germany can have two other people's parties now, the christian democrats in the east and the alternative, uh, in the west only the christian democrats, and maybe an alliance, and maybe the alliance will eat the social democrats on their own, this is essentially their political field, not quite, it is still the political field of the left, the left is the heir of the socialist united party of germany, this pa

alternative except the afd, in the bundestag elections, the spd and the cdu dropped their masks, everyone saw that it is one and the same party, our goal was to send dietmar woitke into retirement, and we showed a strong result. today experts say that the first place of the sdp is not the support of scholz, it is rather the unwillingness to allow the right to power, therefore, according to the results of this evening, the federal. the party leader named.

our party, all of us have moved forward, a start has been made, tonight we did something very important, we reached twenty percent popularity. the sdp and the cdu in history, we are the party of the future, if you want political change, then vote for the afd. the traditional or as they are also called stream parties of germany in brandenburg are exhausted, the greens, free liberals and left did not even reach the passing 5%. one of the democratic parties did not win, because the increase in votes for the sdp is tactical in nature, so we must be very careful about the consequences of these elections. it is still difficult to say what the future coalition in the brandenburg state parliament will look like, if the victorious social democrats manage to put together a new alliance, they will continue to rule the land for another 5 years. if not, then tedious and lengthy bargaining awaits. in any case, for the ruling coalition in berlin, this victory snatched from the afd has essentially only been postponed. it's time to find out the weather forecast in our weather studio irina polikova. irina, apparently, it's time for us to say goodbye to the long

in thuringia, the right-wing party alternative for germany is leading. the second place went to the cduird place went to the union of sahra wagenknach. but in saxony, the afd came in second, why olaff scholz's ruling coalition suffered a complete collapse, marijak will tell you in detail. the last votes have been cast, long tables line the streets, saxon cities are getting ready to celebrate the results. it's impossible to believe how many people voted for us, believed in us , wanted to change something, and this despite the fact that the ruling political elite in berlin, you all know which party i 'm talking about, tried. the afd is playing fair, many germans believe. they want germany's problems to become more important to politicians than serving us interests. these shots show dusseldorf, hundreds of west germans marching in the streets in support. the position of residents of the eastern regions. they are holding posters, and i am not fighting russia. the escalation of the ukrainian conflict is on the conscience of the german authorities. we must be friends with russia. and by sendi

party. exactly. so the cdu, csu, the conservatives have walked away from migration talks.latlining at the moment. it's very dependent on exports and export revenues. and the cost for germany alone of leaving schengen over a period of time will be around ?77 billion, which is very, very high indeed. so what he's trying to do is square circles — keep within european law and try and appease the right wing, because there have also been these elections, regional elections where the afd, the extreme right parties, anti—european parties have done so well. so this is not the schengen agreement in crisis, in your opinion. it's something that will blow over. it's not the schengen agreement in crisis at the moment, but what it's done is it's created a really toxic environment within europe. i mean, migration has been toxic since 2015, so this isn't a new problem. it's been there for a very long while. what it's done is because it was done unilaterally and the polls are saying, donald tusk is saying, the french are saying this is done without consultation. so it's just disrupted that
