otherwise, germany needs a government and if the green party will not enter a coalition with the christian democrats who try to will not government themselves well, then all of shows will certainly be next. taylor counsellor, you mentioned the greens and the greens got almost 15 percent of the vote. the best ever result, frankly, and they're all but guaranteed a place in any coalition. how much influence could the greens have? do you think? well, the greens have already right now, a very significant influence on german policy making. one of the reasons being that the christian democratic party herself has adopted many positions of the greens of the green main issues like climate change or changing driven energy policies. have already played a significant part in this electoral campaign. it's a green party who sets the issues which are debated. it's a green party with rob, the social democrats, of the christian democrats to follow the path. so they are really a significant part of german political life. dr. pat. so the, the election results are the worst ever anglo merkel, c d u party, and

and we actually have a green party in government now in scotland. and it's perfectly apparent on taking a much stronger position on such things as scottish orland gas than the majority today, which is the scottish national party. and i think what i would hope is that the green party in germany will get into coalition, and we'll start putting pressure on german coal use, which of course, is still very high, and they're still importing coal from, among other countries. russia. and i think that's something we definitely need to move away from preventable akins. thank you. very nice to told you plaza, the show will be like a saturday ahead of the conservative party conferences, lawrence johnson, still writing in the polls. despite an energy crisis, fuel charges, and a level of child poverty. it is costing written 38000000 a year, all in one of which is countries in the world until then keep in touch with social media and let us know if using revelations of us plans for gun battles on the streets of london to get enough. julian assange credible ah ah, ah,

if it's a conservative change from the green party has a different understanding of conservatism. they'll also progressive together with the liberal party paces to slow down. not so fast, not democratic understanding of what leadership is, you know, herald. one of the things i liked about the german election is how people coined these words for potential coalitions. i'm gonna read off a few of the traffic light coalition, the grand coalition, the can you coalition, the jamaica coalition, there actually a few other ones with colors here. what's this going to look like over the next few weeks, maybe months here? what is going to be the, the bones of contention? what's going to be the deal breaker for a coalition to come into existence, go ahead. harold and princeton will indeed say the party is all have colors that are associated with them. and so it's easy to refer to the possible combinations by the name of national flags that have to be in the color. so, the germany coalition, for instance, says black red gold or black red yellow is a black for the christian democrats. read for th

so what happened done is that the free democrats leader reached out immediately to the green party to stop talk among themselves 1st. so it's an interesting situation that for the 1st time and germany, not the large party is actually calling the shots. but the smaller parties are now talking to each other 1st to sort out the huge differences, of course, because climate change is of course the, the main topic for the green party. but the liberals, they really don't want to pay too much money for this difference on, on taxes and a lot of other issues. so they need to iron this out 1st before the larger parties come into play. the long road ahead isn't that before we have any resolution here, what other variables we looking at? yes, it's going to be a very difficult go elation because in the morning when the old shoals, so let's talking about this possible correlation. at the same time, the cd you leader, i mean last year to last the, the election was really under a lot of scrutiny within his own party for admitting his personal contribution to this loss. so there was a lot of speculatio

we are the only party that says so. >> this message from the green party is not resonating with all tersfocus on climate change. a climate activist does not support any of the main political parties and the approaches they are pushing in this election. she told me y. >> what we are fighting for is for the government to stick to the 1.5 promise they gave in paris. none of the parties has a plan that would be sufficient to reach that. it would be completely pointless to support any of them, except we are asking all of them to live up to what they said they would be doing. the paris agreement has been signed by countries across the globe. the question is now, does everyone with the job? if germany is not sticking to what we have pledged to do, what other country would we ask to stepien instead? >> i am on a -- what other country would we asked to step in instead? as we go through this edition, we will hear how a new generation is looking at their options of what they consider to be key issues. ♪ >> let's get the latest on the volcanic eruption in spain. lava is still pouring t. hundreds of

we have a coalition of the green party and the democrats pushing the direction, which would also be beneficial for you and the expect the liberal party that was always addressing your off. we would build a money pipeline to the south and we would all on the waste taxpayer money. so they will be hard to get the policy in the german government before we even reach the european level. harold, where was europe in this election? it was, and i want to talk about foreign policy in the 2nd half of the program. it was, it was remind me, i'm talking to harold here in print. i mean, i've, i'm really remarkable because germany is the engine for better or worse if you like . it or not, of the european project here, and it wasn't on the ballot as it were. go ahead. harold was, i think, in a way, yeah, sure. but you're right on that. it really was on the, in this are all the main parties in the political center where explicitly pro european and that includes the f t p by the way, the n t, europe and poverty at the f d. a did very badly. and really only one votes in east germany at the same is true about the

linda and robert hop back from the green party. well, they've been in deep in conversation about what form of agreement they can reach with each other before they speak to either of the 2 parties that were vying for 1st place. that matters. because 4 years ago, the greens and the free democrats and the kristian democrats as angle americans, christy and democrats spent weeks trying to form a coalition. and it fell apart because mr. linz not from the free democrats, he wasn't prepared to compromise enough for that to work. question is, if they are able to speak to each other, that is the free democrats and the greens. so they form a kind of understanding. well then they would form quite a large block in parliament and that would strengthen their hand in any discussions with either of the 2 parties who were vying for 1st place. i realize this can sound quite quite jargon is the can quite technical language that was actually happening right now. is you have these 2 potential julia partners trying to pool differences trying to find some

when it comes to coalition talks, it may well be the free democrats, the pro business, low tax party, the greens, the group that want to see more taxes and a pro environmentalist agenda. they may have to hammer out coalition talks before they involve the parties that have won the lion's share of the vote. because if those 2 can form a coalition, if they can work together, then they can be the king makers and decide who gets to be chancellor. a long way to go yet though we knew this was going to be tight. i don't think we really realized exactly how tight until we've seen these figures. fascinating stuff. so many options still to be decided upon patrol with the lights there from berlin. okay, let's just refresh your memory on what the 3 leading parties, stanfull, the social democrats who as it stands in the lead, according to the exit polls, they want to see much more drastic action taken on climate change. are in favor of more immigration and more free trade parties also supporting the creation of a european army and upholding germany's 9 to commitments the c. p. c's good ties with russia as bei

and i think parties to do it next to mainly the inexperience of the green party candidate. were able to make it appear that the green parties somewhat ideologically connected to the left. maybe you can extreme left and therefore has been able to frame them within the narrative of so called life to the far left with germany. sorry to interrupt you them. and because i do want to bring or recon here, i can see that you're agreeing and i'm curious about how this then pays out on an e you stage because we're obviously looking at a potential coalition government. there's been a lot of speculation about who might actually constitute that government. and i mean, sholtes from the social democrats, even though it's the traditionally left policy has really been trying to portray himself as more of the central character. did you think that all of this might change the way that germany engages with your? yeah, so actually, i'm not really agreeing with mona in the sense that i think that this idea of a possible flight to the left in germany is not completely out of the question. and so f

, do you think it is important that green parties do well on the political side of things? as regards your view, that fossil fuels of us, majority of them need to be kept on the ground. if we're going to not to destroy an i late the species in principle, i think that could be helpful. but i think, i think the main entrance green part is across the world in germany included, is that they put pressure on the so called mainstream part is to take these environmental issues here personally. and we actually have a green party in the government now in scotland and it's perfectly apparent on taking a much stronger position on such things as scottish orland guess than the majority today, which is the scottish national party. and i think what i would hope is that the green party in germany will get into coalition, and we'll start putting pressure on german coal use, which of course, is still very high. and that's still importing coal from, among other countries. russia. and i think that's something we definitely need to move away from preventable akins. thank you. very nice to told y

mike, the green party candidate. eading in the polls. if you win you will be the first elected green mp in ontario. what does this mean and how do you feel? >> exhausted and exhilarated. hundreds of people behind me joining. there is so much energy inside. i have been walking the streets and listening to so many neighbors. [inaudible] [screaming and cheering] [inaudible] >> more people were sharing their priorities from the lack of affordable housing to the climate crisis. so when the liberal incumbent stepped back, more people across the community were that much more eager. [inaudible] >> obviously they turned the channel and realized there candidate was on tv. as we eased toward the end of the night, a liberal minority government elected. conservatives, 121, which -- but are ahead in the popular vote. questions around vote efficiency. let me go back to david. and anne-marie paul -- is there any rumbling about it she leaves her position immediately? >> disappointed but a few minutes ago, they were dancing. people dea

and actually at some point, the green party had surged in the pulled ahead of both the christian, the credit union of america and his main rival. the social democratic party now pulls at the moment, actually positioning the green party in. ringback the 3rd position, giving it what the analysts say, a very important role in what happens after the election. and when times come to talk about forming a coalition government. now she is actually the preferred can be the among many of the youth here. she's running in tip, have a country or of renewable energy. and a lot of people here would tell you that she is actually an image of change while they think that the other time that is specially the successor of america. and i'm the head of the cd. you is just trying to fit as best as he can in the shoes of anger. marco it is one place in germany. conservative parties could rely on its here in bavaria. but gail grand hello says that slowly changing in 2014, he became the 1st green mayor of isaac, i think a village near the regional capital munich dissertation model is people who are skeptical a

parties. that's true. it depends on how the greens i parties. that's true. it depends on how the greens will i parties. i was quite disappointed not only by i radical plans? yeah, i was quite disappointed not only by the i disappointed not only by the election programmes but also by the campaigns themselves, because in the general public, climate protection did not play a very large though, it should have been. it did not really show up, but we will see at the end of the day, the greens are not that bad but could have been better. climate protection is a biggest goal and the major challenge in germany has. and the ma'or challenge in germany has. . and the ma'or challenge in germany has. , , ., ., has. help me understand how the sort. has. help me understand how the sport- can — has. help me understand how the sport- can the _ has. help me understand how the sport. can the greens i has. help me understand how the sport. can the greens demand i has. help me understand how the | sport. can the greens demand that the two bigger party as much into climate policy in exchange for a coalition? . , , , ., coali

ok, let's go back to our guest and praying for a talk about the, the greens and the, the other small parties here because it's very interesting that the greens didn't do as well as so many had hoped a few months ago. but if you look at the who voted forum, it was remarkably large number of young people. and in that sense, the climate was on the ballot and, and we, what i'm getting here is there's a generational change going on. now, how do you put that into the mix here because we still have this kind of very traditional set of parties that were, that were often failure with here. but, you know, the green party, in my mind is kind of a wildcard, because even though it didn't do as well as people expected, its voting bass is pretty fervent and, and quite large when you, when you look at the demographics, what do you think about that go ahead. remarkable because it all started as an anti party and now they are conservative and they want to conserve the environment. what we also see is supported by young people, but young people don't matter a country that have a serious problem when elections

the green party was 13.9 percent. and then the pre democratic party with $11.00 built in for germany party has gone a 10 and a half percent according to exit polls with the left party only just passing the 5 percent threshold. what does that mean? well, germans on sunday weren't directly choosing a chancellor. they were electing members of the bundle target is they who will then pick a chancellor to lead. what in practice is usually a coalition government hbo to receive 2 valid papers. the 1st was for choosing a candidate in the electro district. there are 20909 such constituencies across germany. the 2nd ballot paper that was 1st selecting a political party with $47.00 of them vying 4 seats only policy su, managed to get 5 percent of the nation wide vote. are able to enter parliament. no single party is expected to secure an absolute majority. meaning coalition towards our inevitable policies correspondence in berlin to oliver breaks down the possible coalition option. it's about as close as thing gets here in germany

and for some green party candidate on lena burbock as the face of the future. she's appealing to a younger generation, fired up by climate change in the need for clean energy, but hard questions in our be asked about her ability to lead the country as dominant cain reports on a late summer day in potsdam anna lena bell book is on the campaign trail focused on trying to win the general election and to become germany. second, female chancellor, above all, proclaiming what the green parties priorities would be in power. when he was the worst, they had all this for the one for ice because they have the biggest challenge for us as a society is the climate change crisis. we can't just talk about it and expect it to somehow go away. you know, this crisis is happening right now and we have to do everything we can to get out of it. but to do that, it's not her ardent supporters. she has to persuade. it said it's the 10s of millions of voters across the country who have never before voted green, some of whom worry about the cost of doing so. best. if you months ago this

the green alternative isn't a rich party. they're not supported by any big businesses or corporations. they're saying that they don't want to receive cash from those who are causing harm to the environment. now i can tell you that when they were asked about whether they're ready to build some kind of aligns as with other political movements, the answer from them was no because they don't see this possible given their goals . and given what vase down for security in terms of ideology, we are of course, close to parties on the left. but in general, ideology, in reality, i don't think compromises with the other parties are possible because it's again going to face a generation gap once again where the youngest party, where the voice of the generation that is not being heard, officials start carrying about young people only before their retirement, their understanding of how to work with young people comes from their childhood and legs 40 years behind. ready well, on the one hand, these words that they represent the younger gener

the green parties to wish really against the no stream to pipeline. they looks like the greens are going to be part of whatever coalition is formed. it's not going to have some kind of repercussions. and when it comes to the pipeline, it's built, it's about to get operating, surely too late to do anything about it now. but they've, they all going to be in, in principal opposed to it. i mean, we have, we have, you know, we have the entire rest of the coalition. and part of the coalition was the, the sentence, but don't seem to should never become operators and even 50 percent, ester christian democrats in brussels. important. but i don't think this become reality, but you have to be aware. the greens are a code what policy, the greens are policy that are and her rational china very much aligned with the american states and the read. i don't think they will ever power to stop most people to become a race. the continue to sanctions against russia. they will try to interfere entity or chinese and they will lead us to a ice i time to $2.00 to $3.00. then we

is that a deal breaker for you or are you open to the talks with the green party >> for the labour partyy important -- the biggest industry in norway is oil industry it employs about 200,000 people. they are highly educated and important to be able to do the transition into the new green industry we want to double up the oil industry in that way it creates new industries and also climate. our labour government will not accept a set date to quit the oil and gas industry we are quite the labour party and left party and center party. that is the ambition we have the ambition to create the three parties. both double up to oil industry and at the same time be able to do that transition to the new green industry >> the buzz word, obviously, is the transition the new green industry at the end of the day, norway is heavily reliant on oil and gas 40% of the exports do come from the oil and gas industry how can that transition take place without being economically devastating for the overall outlook in the next 10 to 15 years time especially when so many people are employed in the industry you men

with the ruling christine democrats, in 2nd place a 24.2 percent of the vote. thirds is the green party with 14.7, then come the pre democrat party, we will let them point 8 alternative germany. garnering 10 point one on the left party, only just getting past the 5 percent threshold. now in terms of how things work regarding this germans today would not start choosing a chancellor. they were like team members of parliament, the buttons talk and those members will go about picking a chance little lead. what in practice has always been a coalition government. each photo receives to ballot papers, the 1st is for a candidate in their electron district, $299.00. so the constituency exists around the country. the 2nd ballot is where a political party, $47.00 of them vying for safe, but only parties who get more than 5 percent of the vote nationwide will end to parliament. the. okay, let's go live to correspondent in germany, pete oliver. good evening. we thought that was going to be interesting and judging by the exit polls is looking extremely close. do you think that one party stands a chan

well, he's an app to hold negotiations with the green party and the f b, which is the see them aquatic party, which ideologically, is actually closer to the center right then to the center left of the party, the advocates we market lower taxation lower. well, 1st stage, certainly not in tune with either the greens or d as they is going to be tough negotiations is going to have to try to good them. i think the 1st step that we're probably good to see, and that's what we're going with the signals that that could happen very soon is that the green party and the after the free credit party would 1st meet together and try to find the consensus. and then turn to do so. so democrats now, if he fails, then this cd you, i mean last, it could have also a chance i'm trying to for my correlation, that wouldn't be the 1st time it happened 3 times before. the 2nd front runner actually in the end because coalition negotiations had saved well india and was the 2nd fund rather that managed to put that together and become the leader of this country. so there's a lot of horse trading that that's going to

the green party has much to do. who wants to win? dominant, came out his era, pottstown, greece has lost one of its leading classical music figures. composer make use us so the rockies died on thursday in a career spanning decades. he was known for political resistance early on, and grew to personify the modern face of greek music. so the rockies also compose the sound track for the globally, a claim fills, zoar by the greek zed, and circle re challenge. looks back at his life. come on my boy, me its pluck strings and its dance me instantly recognizable and instantly se greece scott meek. if they're the rocket, didn't just sound tracks or but the greek, the movie, found tracked his country to the world and with its countless greek holidays and to the meals. ah. but this musical achievement was just one chapter in theatre offices near century and long life, life entirely, intertwined with greece. his turbulence, post world war to history always are believed with 2 sounds. one political, one musical. he told the new york times in 1970.

the smaller parties are aware younger people want to go to. we see that with the greens. ey had a similar result as well. the younger voters are coming out to vote for the smaller parties. they are not thrilled with the larger parties. you can see, going youngest to oldest, most to least. the greens' message of climate resonating strongly with young people as well. one of the other big things to talk about is voter migration. who stole votes from home. it shows -- from whom? i-- they lost nearly 1.5 million votes to the centerleft. they also lost 920,000 voters to the greens. 4000 voters to the liberal democrats. that is a message to the csu that they have a problem with their voter base. they will be in bigger trouble than they are right now. >> the numbers are astounding. we saw the conservatives loose more than one million votes to the social democrats, why? >> we are sending the and of the -- we are saying the end of the merkel era. they social democrats and of the christian democrats regularly got respectively 30-40% of the vote. they would divide the chancellor betwe

it's like a whole race, the green party tom, keep going, get back to the junk shops and re from the green party. she's a co leader of the party with the medical go, but ha, back they briefly when she became the counters in april, the green briefly sought to the top of the poles as an extraordinary moment didn't last long. she's made a few mistakes, but they're still of course have a very good election results and she will probably be in the next coalition government and the f d p. why we, even on this graphic, free democratic party will influence possibly have very good reasons on the graphic christian in the age of the party is not going to be charged. if a small liberals. busy are pro business pass cutting party, but he, this party could be absolutely crucial to putting the next coalition government together because they will be needed to make up the numbers in which way they choose to go is going to be absolutely crucial in the day, weeks after the elections of i have total respect for you saying you have no clue what he's going to happen on sunday. what do you want to share with us ab

party collision, right. any case? yeah. so either who wins with the green participating with led by either s b, the social democrats or the christian democrats. whatever the government will look like because of this constellation with a 3 party collision, it will be compromised. a consensus government? is there a danger? the things get to close, we see an israel style situation where the parties failed to agree their steel mit and yet another election, yet another election. this is going to be the big question for after to morrow, because in any case, will have a number of rather equal factions in the government. there is no practice in germany in german politics to deal with the situation. and as you indicate, it may lead to a stalemate, a prolong stay made because in an absence of attract, for example, greens, the greens are probably the most ideological driven party, the, the less for the they are politic party. they will insist in whatever coalition and they will be in the, in the coalition. they will insist on their climate protection targets, etc. the

our shots says he would like to form a coalition government with the green party and the free democratic party. the climate crisis is likely to pay a key role during the talks. the villa villa of stick loggers off the walls have spoken very clearly. they said who should form the next government, the strength and 3 parties, the social democrats, the greens and f d p. this is therefore the clear mandate that the citizens of this country have given these tree should form the next government. ok, let's bring a dominant cane who's life for us in battle. and all our shows has been saying repeatedly that his government has the mandate, his party rather has the mandate to govern, but it's not quite as simple as dice, is it? no, it's not quite as simple as that because the staffs militates against that he's party has come 1st in terms of vote share and in terms of the number of seats that they will have in the new parliament. but it just 25 percent of the vote. that means that 3 quarters of the electorates rejected the social democrats clearly more than not rejected the other parties. but it show

, the green party wouldn't give it support to the social democrats. but the liberal democrats would prefer to have the center, right, the christian democrats of lashes. so it's going to be very tough dogs. now what we heard is that probably the greens and the liberal democrats was 1st told big oceans together and then try to reach some sort of compromise and then have the further talks with probably 1st, if we look at the election result, the 1st step should go to all of scholes. but that's not necessarily written into books, but that's what should happen. otherwise they would try to have tools with this center right with admin lashley. now this wouldn't be the 1st time in german history that the 2nd one or a d n. after the correlation negotiation manages a to for my allusion and gets that both the cancer, this happens as read times before. so really the race is still wide open here. anything could happen at this. and if we look at the passage, this is going to, this is a pros, the probably going to last weeks, maybe months, even though everyone is sa

both parties are still comfortably ahead of the greens. all three parties have hopes of getting into government. they held large-scale rallies friday as they made their final pitch to voters. >> it is the final sprint for the finish line as germany's political parties try to scoop up the support of any remaining undecided voters. social democrats candidate and leader in the polls own off schulz -- olaf sholz. >> addressing supporters from both parts of the conservative bloc, he sounded confident of victory. >> cdu and csu want to do everything in our power in the next few years to create a good germany, a good europe, and a better word -- world. that is why we ask for your trust and i ask for your confidence in becoming the next federal chancellor of germany. >> the green party dropped back in the polls. at her final campaign event in dusseldorf, she stressed her parties environmental focus that said the tone of any coalition government of which -- could set the tone of any coalition government of which the greens are a part. >> to the spd

so that's the pitch from the green party. it's currently polling 3rd. d she is live with us. thank you very much forjoining us. why do you think your party has done so well in the last two months, what's change? high. first of all thanks for having me. i think the people really like that we went very steady, we didn't change our course, we went having one strategy for the whole campaign and we stick to it. especially having covid—19, having the floods in germany, the people really want to have somebody who knows how to handle crisis. and we are projecting that to the people. find handle crisis. and we are pro'ecting that to the people.�* handle crisis. and we are pro'ecting that to the people. and what are you auoin to be that to the people. and what are you going to be doing — that to the people. and what are you going to be doing to _ that to the people. and what are you going to be doing to protect - that to the people. and what are you going to be doing to protect german | going to be doing to protect german workers? because the cdu says that some of

in 3rd place in the green party followed by the free democratic party and alternative for germany. the left part is very narrow, a fail to get past 5 percent threshold, but will still be represented in the bundis dog as it managed to win 3 constituencies. now, all ballots have been counted, although the result won't be considered official until it's announced by the election agency a couple of weeks from now. with reminder of how the system works, german voters don't directly choose the chancellor. they elected members of the button to start with al, go about picking a chancellor to lead him. practice is always a coalition government. the results from sunday's votes suggested coalition talks, could drag on for several weeks. well, let's cross life to berlin and get some more on this. is peter oliver joining us this morning. good morning. you peter sholtes, celebrating victory and saying he's ready to lead germany. could you, could you break down the results and tell us what comes next? yes, these preliminary result results are written. they usually fairly accurate. we won't get the

mayor of a village near the regional capital, munich. >> people are skeptical about a green partyere. they were watching what the green party can do in the countryside, and now some people say it is not that bad. they tell me it is good what you are doing, the new style, more open, closer to the people. >> for decades, the christian social union brought support in this part of germany, taking about 50% of votes in each election, especially among farmers like this man. he still hasn't decided who he will vote for. >> there are many traditional issues for voters. voters say they won't vote for the csu anymore, and i think it is also because of covid but a lot of things aren't working anymore the way people want them to. >> the election will mark the end of angela merkel's for -- 16 year tenure. many say it is time for change. the csu is the back phone of angela merkel's christian democratic union. the two parties campaigned together, but finding someone to fill merkel's shoes hasn't been easy. recent polls show the social democratic party is in the lead. many put this down to the cs

the outsider for the top job is green party candidate annalee in a bad book. back in the summer, her policy will polling at the heavy heights of 22 percent. right now they've been pegged back to closer to the mid teams while there's been no major campaign mistakes. a lot of it's been put down to a general feeling of a lack of experience when it comes to senior political jobs and some questions over the figures that ms. bad book has used when it comes to putting forward the green parties. environmental policies. by the year 2100, the sea level will rise by 7 meters. the sea level will continue to rise for centuries. it could reach around $30.00 to $60.00 centimeters by 2100 even if greenhouse gas emissions sharply reduced. and global warming is limited to well below 2 degrees celsius. then she managed to find a cell for the very german political scandal involving her copying a number of paragraphs into her new book without proper attribution. i take the chris hidden seriously, looking back, it would certainly have been better if i had worked with a list of refe
