the groups we have been speaking to, - we have been speaking to, notably the green party, this morningecause we did so well in recent elections and that should be reflected in the choice of prime minister. and emanuel macron has not gone with that. he emanuel macron has not gone with that. ., , ., ., with that. he has not gone with that. with that. he has not gone with that- that _ with that. he has not gone with that. that is _ with that. he has not gone with that. that is | _ with that. he has not gone with that. that is i think _ with that. he has not gone with that. that is i think also - with that. he has not gone with that. that is i think also the - that. that is i think also the decision that he personally made, saying i have been elected as a president for five years. i want to see this term to the end, i don't want to leave, so i will appoint someone who will reflect on my policy rather than someone who will be more left than me and i will be more left than me and i will not be able to coordinate and talk with. so this is why he went for francois bayrou rather than somebody e

for example, the green party has laid out 11 propositions including for example not putting in placecreasing the minimum wage, having strong environmental programme. if they were to say, we are committing to these 11 propositions, also committing on a method of not putting in place measures through parliament forcefully, it could open up discussion. but it is very unlikely they will decide to go that way unfortunately. we have seen the brutality with which they have not respected the vote of the people and the french president again and again... he could choose to lean more to the left and he has chosen over the past few years to lean more and more towards the right and that is what we are seeing again today. we hope to find out who he appoints a little later. charlotte, from the new popular front, french parliamentary candidate, thank you. police chiefs have warned the uk home secretary that without further funding neighbourhood policing could be cut, due to the increased costs of employee taxes and wages. it comes a week after the government pledged to have a named police officer i

for example, the green party has laid out 11 propositions, including, for example, not putting in placeonmental programme and a plan. if they were to say, "ok, we are committing to these 11 "propositions, also committing on a method of not putting "in place measures through parliament forcefully, " it could open up discussion. but it is very unlikely they will decide to go that way unfortunately. we have seen the brutality with which they have not respected the vote of the people and the french president again and again... he could choose to lean more to the left and he has chosen over the past few years to lean more and more towards the right and that is what we are seeing again today. charlotte, french parliamentary candidate for the new popular front, speaking to us earlier. let us take you quickly to south korea, the scene outside the national assembly and seoul where people have gathered again as a second impeachment motion against president yoon has formally been submitted. he survived the first attempt last week you will recall after a short lived effort on his part to introduce

so, for example, the green party has laid out 11 propositions that include, for example, not putting environmental programme and a plan, for example. if they were to say, "ok, we are committing to these 11 propositions, also committing on a method of not putting in place measures through parliament forcefully," that could open up discussion. but it is very unlikely they will decide to go that way, unfortunately. and we have seen the brutality with which they have not respected the vote of the people. and the french president, again and again... he could choose to lean more to the left and he has chosen over the past few years to lean more and more towards the right, and that is what we are seeing again today. charlotte minvielle. president biden has issued a raft of pardons and sentence commutations — the biggest single day act of clemency in modern us history. 1,500 people saw their sentences downgraded. nearly 40 non—violent criminals had theirs written off. the decision to grant mass clemency follows a backlash over the pardon the outgoing president gave to his son, hunter, for gu

they were supported by the green party in the last one which has been decimated in this vote, they haveong time until we find out the making of this next government. there is not a first past the post system, we will probably see negotiations that could take weeks. thank you. keep it across all of that and giving us the results as and when we get them. some breaking news from one of our reporters injerusalem saying the united nations agency supporting palestinian refugees saying it is causing the delivery of aid through a key crossing between israel and gaza because of security concerns, this is the head of unrwa, saying the route had not been saved for months and recent attempts to bring in food had failed. aaron rowe are saying it will pause the delivery of aid at a key crossing —— unwra. that is all from me for now. do stay with us. hello. today, the 1st of december, marks the start of winter, meteorologically speaking — but, actually, things aren't feeling particularly wintry because we've still got mild air with us, so we are looking at another mild day ahead, and there's some outb

he has been a member of the judge in parliament as a member of the routing jobs in green party. since 2016, but he's also in no member of the far right political movement and movement that is known for on to western kremlin friend play the rest of it. and he's not only controversial as a person, but was always supported. reversal about him is how he actually got into the top for the very 1st time here in georgia, the president was not elected directly by the judge and people, but by and alex hard to call it snow. tackle those members of this and make protocol. it says college come from the parliament. however, the question still looming in georgia is, is that parliament is actually legit and that's, it was elected in late october and there has been a report about mess this fraud. so the people are posing the president, they would say listen, the parliament does not legitimate, then elects are college is not legitimate. so the president then cannot be legitimate either. governors really gave his integration speech just this morning. what did he say? but interestingly, he did not

he has been a member of the judge in parliament as a member of the ruling village, some green party since 2016. but he's also and no member of the paul, right, political movement and movement that is known for on to western kremlin friend play the rest, the rec. and he's not only controversial as a person, but what's also controversial about him is how he actually got into the job. for the very 1st time he in georgia, the president was not elected directly by the judge and people, but by and alex har, college snow. tackle those members of this electronic college says college come from the parliament. however, the question still looming in georgia is, is that parliament is actually legitimate. it was elected in late october and there has been a report about nexus fraud. so the people are closing the president, they would say listen, the part of that is not legitimate, then the ethics are college is not legitimate. so the president then cannot be legitimate either to on your costs reporting that. now that's all for me for now, michael. okay, we'll bring you the news at the top of the out of

in fact, his vice tons, so by topic from the green party. and as i spoke at just a while ago and he reconfirmed, he said to the free democrats to kind of be possible governments that he was against, then you have to leave at this coalition or a coalition. in the end, it was what i sold. so how to essentially throw out says fine on some of the stuff from the free democrats and it. and he went into the phase where he was making his election hits, which included reducing taxes on foods to make groceries of raising the min minimum wage from the $1241.00. the euro is at the moment to 15. so that would fulfill a trade union demand and also at talking that it was time to take a break at from the debt break, something that he helped loans and so no surprise that there was some scathing criticism from the opposition the, the on demand. he looks pretty liking to come on top and these upcoming elections because his conservative saving you is upwards of 30 percent of the moment that's replaced math. and for the math accused him of just speaking about ho

very much of hotline and when it comes to migration of sholtes, of the social democrats on the green parties form will open when it comes to the issue of migration. so the conservatives on top of the oppose fos full would, let's say might, as does potentially when the next the license, you're gonna get an easy arrive themselves is how does doesn't impala to is headed for more stable and more common waters? unfortunately, i think not looking at my christabel, i think you know, the cd using very well at the moment is pulling it around 31 percent. that's nearly twice as much as or actual it's, it's a 17 percent spots gemini, is, is it is a country that is governed by coalitions. so however, well, matt does, if he does do well, he will actually have to find a coalition pot no to, to join forces with in order to govern. and this is where it's going to get very difficult. we saw an incredibly heated and impassioned debate in the going to start to get to lots of popped words between the neatest of these main parties. they do not like each other. they do not get on, but mets will have to, to join fo

so the green parties on leaders also build out in september and the party is more focused on what kind of face lifts it can now get to seduce voters once again that aren't anything else. so the political playing field as a result of all the this change has opened up for the anti establishment right wing a f d party, whose leader also made a point of paying her own tribute. you could say to schultz, his leadership when he staged a memorial service for it himself, with his own non confidence vote, will actually just hold off. schultz has been the worst chancellor. the federal republic has ever had germany, as in the deepest, most severe economic, financial energy and migrant crisis, or parliament faction has just discussed this. even though there wasn't much to discuss. we won't support shots in the confidence vote, except for 3 persons worried friedrich merits might become a war chancellor. what are you doing? instead of seeking ties with washington and moscow, where the keys to piece lie? the chancellor and friedrich merits go to kia, have to waste even more money than before. for admi

not so the case for the junior government partner, the green party, which has been almost wiped out, l will return to dail eireann, the highest part, the biggest party with the highest number of seats it looks at this point, and it will seek to build a coalition with fine gael. now, it's not going to make the numbers for a majority. they're going to need some support in that. and the big success stories of this weekend have been the smaller left—leaning parties — the social democrats and the labour party. fianna fail and fine gael may look to them to help them build a coalition, or indeed they may look to the support of a number of independents. now, on the other hand, sinn fein also has had a successful weekend and the leader, mary lou mcdonald, has pledged herself to build a left coalition government. she'll also be courting those smaller parties and, indeed, the independents. however, the maths make it a much more difficult route to government for her than for fianna fail and fine gael. and the other point to note is there had been an expectation — perhaps there could have been a r

especially since we've heard from the green party, the only remaining a cool listen partner of all of choices, social democrats, that it is a party called on its members to abstain in this vote. just to make sure that a accidentally, the government does not get a, you know enough votes at the supported in this confidence vote. and that actually the government now will lose the confidence vote. it will be, will be or if the play the follow riots, the party that is a pretty strong and the board has done. uh well uh, the reason also why the greens have said they're going to abstain in the vote of confidence is because there was some concern that some members of the a if the might play a trick on the shows is remaining allies and actually vote in favor of the government in this vote of confidence and this is something that's all parties involved, one to avoid it would have sent a very bad signal. if a government made up of the social democrats in the green were actually to stay in power because of the a if the voted in favor of it. so this is something that all parties want to avoid . and

fragmented again, that you might have a coalition with the conservatives, the sofa democrats and the green party, 3 parties and coalition. and the f d could even be the only opposition policy. yeah, that's another aspect um you could having a problem end of a 4 parties or even the age. it's very unclear at the moment. there are very, there are several um, smaller parties. and if it really gets to the point where the f d is the only a positional policy and would correspond with the narrative, very much saying that the if the is the only alternative, the only opposition and the only possibility to have a some other kind of politics, so i think that is if we kind of wrap up the spelling briefing. now a scenario definitely to think about the looking ahead to those selections coming up in late february. what happens if the, if the emerges as the only problem entry opposition to a mainstream government? that would be quite a, an extraordinary situation here in germany that would definitely have a major impact on the political out for look in germany guys. thank you very much. stephanie matt, spring, a

has 15, fine gael has 12, and the third party in government, the third party in government, the green partyon in coalition governments of the smaller party. sinn fein for its part have ten seats. the social democrats have two seats. one seat fought solidarity, three seats for independent ireland. independent candidates, there is running in their own name, have seven seats so far. those smaller parties and independent candidates are essentially likely to be the kingmakers in whatever government comes next because none of those three big parties will have enough seats first of all to form a majority party on their own, but even if fianna fail and fine gael, the two big parties in government wished to form a coalition again, they will need the support of some of those smaller parties, or some of those independence as well. i am joined by someone from those smaller parties, gary gallen, you havejust smaller parties, gary gallen, you have just been elected, re—elected, congratulations for that. the social democrats really having a great weekend, it looks like you will build on your own tally, wh

this time, the nagar will be going in without the green party.filled so far. we should have almost all of them done by 11 or 12 tonight. so may not be filled until tomorrow morning. then the negotiations will take place as to who will make up the next government. you do seven sterling _ the next government. you do seven sterling work _ the next government. you do seven sterling work there. i the next government. you do | seven sterling work there. the election is still not quite over. there was some concern over. there was some concern over dublin central. what is the latest there?— the latest there? paschal donahue _ the latest there? paschal donahue has _ the latest there? paschal donahue has taken - the latest there? paschal donahue has taken the l the latest there? paschal. donahue has taken the third seatin donahue has taken the third seat in the constituency of dublin central. the second preferences will now be sorted out. those votes will now be counted. we don't know whether any of them will go tojerry hatch. the labour party say they are

now the third party currently in government, the green party, has been all but wiped out, losing all but one of its 12 seats. so fianna fail and fine gael best placed to put together a coalition. however, they will need the support of some independents or of some of the smaller left leaning parties like the social democrats and the labour party, who have had a good weekend also building on their seat tally. on the other side of the house, then, in the opposition benches currently is sinn fein. mary lou mcdonald, the leader of sinn fein, saying that she intends to try and put together a left leaning alliance for a coalition government as well. now the maths are a little more difficult. they're not impossible, but a little bit more difficult. but she says that's her intention at this moment. and, katrina, how long do you think it will take before we see a government take form there in ireland? well, that's the question that everybody is asking. the last election that was held here almost five years ago in february 2020. it took until the end ofjune before the dail was able to come into

socialist president, it could be, it's a for a social is prime minister, a prime minister from the green party, or from a centrist policy. that would either corporate with other moderate policies directly. or that that would, that would be some kind of no aggression talked between the prime minister party and other policies that would actually, you know, support the governments if so if you read lines were not crossed, this is what font is aiming for. what the president in monro at fault is aiming for once for this country, canada chief, but we will see over the coming months to syria. now we're rebel forces have captured the city of hama. it's a major victory for the coalition of anti government forces, as they advance rapidly across the country. the loss of hama is a massive blow to president. bush are all sought. after almost 14 years of civil war opposition fighters into the city and city of hama after 3 days of intense fighting. the groups lead to size the here to clean up a 40 year old roomed. the city anatomy says it's redeployed, its forces from the city to the outskirts in order to pr

could see the green's, the green party decimated in part due to that party's hawkish, foreign policy. particularly these of the ukraine. i'm in the western liberal order . would you say that germany is looking like a week leak? i fear the germans don't really understand what the consequences of using the war and ukraine would be for germany. and the consequences would be that they would have to spend more money on defense that they would be in greater danger. that there would be an economic and political and refugee crisis on a scale. no one has imagined yet. what is this all these guys, agents, what do, what do you and what do you think that's not being communicated to the, to the i, it's not for me to say what german positions to do or should say, but i, i don't think that the stakes of the war or why the understood, i mean, i shouldn't, let's be clear and it's not that they're not understood there. i need germans all the time who understand what you're saying very well what the, what, what's happening and who, and who had been rightly proud actually of the degree to which germany d

the main two would be for the conservatives to team up with the social democrat or the greens party.hat could however be pretty complicated because part of the conservatives have pushed back very strongly against some of the energy policies in particular that the greens have floated. there is a pretty strong chance there from a current point of view telling from what the polls are showing now, the conservatives and the social democrats will have to come to some sort of agreement at some point in coming month if they were to form the new government. tom: ok. the update in terms of this election campaign which is well underway in germanyle joining us from berlin. thank you for the update. staying in germany with the continue sector. v.w.'s management and labour leaders are yet to reach a deal over proposed layoffs and factory closures. the union said it is prepared to vote at the end of the week potentially paving the way for 24-hour walkouts across v.w. factories in january. they have already walked out on two occasions this month. sell theant us furnishing its -- stellantus, part of

the other party in government, the green party looks like being wiped out, it currently has 12 seats he end of the count. the main parties themselves have all been reelected. let's talk some more about what has happened so far. i'm joined by paul, the deputy political editor of the irish examiner. what do you make of what we are seeing so far? it is hard to read into it because we don't _ is hard to read into it because we don't know yet. we know roughly— we don't know yet. we know roughly what kind of vote we will find, _ roughly what kind of vote we will find, and sinn fein will come — will find, and sinn fein will come third of those three large parties — come third of those three large parties. what is interesting that— parties. what is interesting that sinn fein will look at this— that sinn fein will look at this back in 2020, a huge wave and they— this back in 2020, a huge wave and they finished first in first_ and they finished first in first preferences but they were actually — first preferences but they were actually the third largest of the three medium—sized parties because

thejunior government partner, the green party, which will be almost wiped out, holding so it will be in a position to form a coalition government with fine gael coalition government with fine gael. a little earlier i spoke to the deputy leader of fianna fail, jack chambers, and asked him how he would go about building that coalition. there is little common _ building that coalition. there is little common ground - building that coalition. there is little common ground withj is little common ground with sinn — is little common ground with sinn fein_ is little common ground with sinn fein in terms of the economy, the economic model, and sinn — economy, the economic model, and sinn fein's position on the european _ and sinn fein's position on the european union is something we disagree — european union is something we disagree with. we see them as eurosceptics. there isn't a common_ eurosceptics. there isn't a common platform to engage with sinn fein— common platform to engage with sinn fein and it is important we are— sinn fein and it is important we are consistent in our

we saw the uh, these uh, traffic light coalition of, uh oh, la schultz and the green party collapse. uh, at least on the face, over the issue of a to ukraine. we're still trying to negotiate and negotiate out, you know, the results of elections and another when we had this a noble action in romania which was obviously also a protest vote over the economic consequences of the sanctions on russia to blow back from that. so the only one that really escape that fate, that this political turmoil, at least is the united kingdom. and that's simply because they have a much more structured and managed democracy where the center, right center, left, shuffle still rules, you know, they have a mars, but that we use it that way. so the election in which the of the opposition party won an astounding victory with the lowest vote a at the same time, i mean, talk about structure, george, finish it out the 20 seconds. go ahead. no, i mean, and i think if i did the example of the u. k, i think does tend to confirm what the mark was saying because of course, the big story that was the rise of, uh, nigel
