trying to form a government here you know they might most likely approach the green party which is much further to the left than a lot of their ideology their politike parts are at the federal level now this could just make it even harder in berlin to form that potential coalition with the green party and the free democrats having said that this is a psychological. basically boost for the social democrats who were beaten so badly and of course of the condit martin schultz who still licking his wounds in berlin all right we were looking at exit polls earlier michel that showed the far right a d. with five point five percent of the vote as you know that is enough to enter parliament in local saxony how is that going to change things. well if they make it this is still shaky ground these are the first exit polls coming out i spoke to the party's leader york morrison who's here in hanover tonight and i asked him what his expectation was and his expectation was to be solidly in this regional parliament this is not solid yet they seem to be making it by the skin of the teeth of the interesting aspect of course i

no you don't know how parties can develop if you look at the left part in the left part of us here the crucial point you ever created that well as i just said the decision was not been taken away that this is an option and if the left party would have swing in some form political points there might have been in ability to correlate together and so coalition comes from different parties and so that option was then been brought down throughout the election going to s.p.d. didn't take any decision they didn't say either yes with the left's perhaps or never with the left perhaps the voters didn't know what will be your reaction at the end of the election i don't think that the coalition question what it is to avoid or not to vote for this beauty let me ask you something else. with this election results in mind shouldn't martin short step down as a leader of the s.p.d. i mean twenty one percent how can you continue to be a leader after this disaster what is the message the message from my side as a party member is that you should stay the leader of the party if you want to be why he lost he

party took seven point two percent the left party took four point six percent and that's important because it's not enough to clear the five percent hurdle you need to take any seats at all in parliament and then again the right wing alternative for germany took six percent clearing that five percent hurdle. so in total we're talking about one hundred thirty five seats in lower saxony state parliament in the city of hanover and based on the projected results we're going to see the christian democrats take forty nine of those seats the social democrats will have the largest share with fifty five the greens will have thirteen seats in the house the pro-business f.d.p. will get ten and the far right alternative for germany one of eight of the one hundred thirty five seats those results mean that the current coalition of the social democrats and the greens have enough seats to form another government but will they hear to talk us through some of the political wrangling that's about to happen is thomas sparrow from our d.w. politics department and michele a cover who is standing by for us in ha

that he had to talk with his coalition partners and it seems that the far left see you see a far left party that basically how the calculated to have a majority in this house is still pushing very much for independence while and that is unconfirmed information so far but shared here by many colleagues while puts them on seems to step away from unilaterally declaring independence here we're watching live pictures of the inside of the castle on parliament assumes this posed a mark against this quake will that take that speech live let's go and not so much hoffman in brussels welcome mats can you shed any light on this talk of international mediation. well we tried to find out because there was there were some media reporting that indeed for jamal had talked to the head of the european commission john told you this is didn't this was denied. by a spokeswoman here at the european commission of course if they did really talk would they admitted that is the second question because a commission has always said that they will only talk to the spanish government that is the e.u. member and that cata

at the same time we have the far left party waiting with another ultimatum.y said if in four weeks from now there is no declaration of independence than they will step down from government and that would mean he would lose his majority and the government is finished. no matter what he does is looking like a very complex situation. people on the street here are talking about this poker game where carles puigdemont went all in yesterday and slowly realized he did not have a good and. brent: that's a -- a good hand. what is rajoy's goal here? he is trying to use politics against his catalan counterpart. does he want the catalan government to collapse? guest: certainly i agree with my colleague in barcelona. rajoy has already labeled carles puigdemont as non-valid interlopers. after tuesday's declaration of independence, there is no unity in the camp. some members of parliament even in carles puigdemont's party have been trying to avoid unilateral declaration of independence. he is in the middle of a crossfire between knows who want quick independence versus thos

and the left party are rallying for more open confrontation with the chancellor. the parliament must resume its role as the main stage of political exchange and not t.v. talk shows or one on one interviews from reporters madam chancellor. that means that the parties especially the opposition parties can suggest topics here that the chancellor might find very unpleasant. but merkel's conservatives and her potential coalition partners rejected that suggestion. the right to question must remain an instrument of parliamentary control and not a weapon for the opposition. you want to make a show of us with a history lesson today and we won't allow it each parliamentary faction has the right to nominate a vice president in the assembly but the candidate was rejected by the other m.p.'s for stating islam is a political ideology and not a religion. and with that you see we've already got the first points of conflict in this new parliament to talk about that here in the studio with me is our political correspondent kate brady's good to have you here at the big table kate le

european union have left way parties in them and most of those are what we would call periphery stateslike molds or imports ugle so i think when you look at the general direction of europe the center left has been struggling under center right and the populist right in general terms of be doing quite well in austria. although there are ideological differences alison is one way of looking at what's been happening across europe whether it's you know kurds in austria the rise of micron in france the brig's it. vote could we draw a common sort of anti establishment is a line through all of this. you know it's tempting to do so but i think it's a bit ironic really because it's only in the case of austria i mean this is still establishment this is a the austrian people's party which is formed grand coalitions on and off it's part of the old system it's just. this whole thing is being different from the old boy's garbage least that's how he seems to have sold himself. exactly but it is the we will find out but no just changing your party coat color and dumping yourself a movement instead of a

than ten percent it was the appearance of the green party in the early eighty's and later the left parties entry into the bundestag that changed the dynamics partly thanks to that quota recently some thirty seven percent of german m.p.'s were women. unfortunately i think that in society and in the media there was this idea that everything is ok now one third of the members of parliament are female and we have ministers we have a female chancellor but this is misleading because the percentage of women in parliament does not reflect women's share of society which is over half of the population. and even in the conservative parties women are beginning to get angry although most men oppose it they are pushing for a quota. many men want to protect the privileges they have as no reason for them to support these new regulations if they get implemented then men will be reducing their own chances of a political career as long as women agree as long as society doesn't protest things won't change helga lucas shot once a parity law to be implemented similar to those other european countries already ha

in lower saxony this past sunday the defeat party chief anglo-american carefully tried to keep away from this week's explode tory talks with the center left green party and the free market liberal. christian democrats are going into these exploited tory talks knowing that we have the strongest force among those involved and that we want to negotiate fairly with everyone but i don't see the lower saxony election result as weakening us and this task. is nevertheless the defeat already has spurred the debate within the christian democrats on the party's future political orientation. it's untrue sure to show our entire political program it must be clear that an alternative to ass on the right side of the political spectrum is not necessary. i believe a shift to the right would simply be the wrong signal that people want us to solve their problems. pressures also coming from the cd used to variances to party c s u the party fears losing the elections in bavaria next year and sees its only viable chance of moving further to the right members of the scene those with a lesson learned is that we need to form a stable government in berlin and the n

parties in parliament ok briefly if you could what about the f.d.a. leaders of people like alexander gal on the front page trade who's left the day now are voters satisfied with them. well since the real the real protest party the majority is pro-choice protesting and since about more than three quarters of the population say the if he is far too much right wing a right wing party. and so people don't believe that they will to really stay as they are and their leaders are not so important because it's the issues of position the fight against immigration that unites them. neither garland is improved by eight percent ok tree a little bit better after she left the fifty ok runner schleicher from the polling institute for test thanks so much for being with us today pleasure let's get you one last result from that poll voting intention if there was a bundestag election this coming sunday the result would be fairly similar to the election last month the city you see as you want thirty two percent as pretty a twenty both unchanged but the f.d.a. losing almost two points a standard eleven percent level pegging with the f.t.p. not far behind of the left party and

undecided part of the reason for that is the emergence of two new political parties the liberal left party the constitutional democratic party of japan. and the party of hope led by tokyo governor yuriko billed as a conservative alternative to the ruling party there are two opposing parties it's easier to decide where there are three it becomes more difficult to determine the deciding factor of votes. says she's having a hard time deciding which party to cost her ballot for because as a young parent she now has to think about issues like education and reducing the national debt issues that will affect her children's future florence italy al-jazeera tokyo still ahead on al-jazeera in sport the squash double act from egypt making history at the u.s. open. we are witnessing around the word this hungry money which is only looking at how to make the next profit devastating economies devastating ecosystems putting a price on the protection of nature green economy are sound good but it was all about privatized sation of nature should our environment be for sale what we're trying to do is just rig

took a seven point two percent in lower saxony the left party took four point six percent which is not enough at the moment to clear the five percent hurdle that's necessary to take seats in german parliament the right wing alternative for germany party took five point nine percent now remember these are not final results and they could still change now in total there are one hundred thirty five seats in lower saxony state parliament in hanover and based on those projected results we just showed you the christian democrats are set to take fifty of those seats the social democrats will have the largest share fifty five seats the green party will have twelve seats in the house the liberal f.t.p. party will get ten and the far right alternative for germany is on course for eight of those one hundred and thirty five seats. or for more on this i'm joined here in the studio by thomas sparrow from w.'s parliamentary studios thomas welcome we also have reporter michelle a cook dinner and had over standing by to bring us the latest michelle a good start there how is the reaction to this blow fo

really the breakthrough for germany getting what these two parties the greens which are the center left party and the free market liberals the f.t.p. have been calling for for years now migration or germany hasn't had a migration law in the last years although all of the parties except the conservative parties have been asking for this and now they see the u.n. see as you seem to have seem to have made a breakthrough in this special issue so i think this could really really break be the breakthrough for the starting of the jamaica coalition and of course this will be decoded by voters do we think this move could win back people who chose the a.f.d. . not really not now but i think what is really important here is that c.d.u. and see as you come back to terms with each other that they speak with one tongue and one of the biggest problems of c.d.u. under specially of the seas you was that these two parties didn't really look us. united as their name that the name is union but they didn't really behave like a union they behaved like two opposing parties all the time and that was one of the bigge

not far behind the left party and the greens both at ten percent. now in the united states the head of amazon studios roy price has been put on immediate leave of absence as a scandal surrounding the producer harvey weinstein grose mr price was suspended after allegations that he sexually harassed and t.v. producer and ignored actress rosie mcgowan when she told him she had been raped by . it was in himself is facing a number of sexual assault allegations that emerged this week following an investigative report in the new yorker magazine. that's it you're up to date more at the top of the hour.

but interestingly, when small or radical parties or far left, far right, get into regional parliaments, they make a mess of it. they fall apart or can't have a policy. that thery interesting afd really doesn't support anything. it's very much against something. but now that it's in the bundestag, let's see what they want. a lot tord used describe the mood among people in eastern germany is resentment. is often targeted, as anja has mentioned, to just one person. >> i think we should have given clobbering. >> she's done nothing for germans. all she cares about is foreignersrs. i don't think she did enough. i think she should have done and not just fofor the refufugees. we don't have anythihing against them. but she e should have done more for our r school children and older people. >> we expected more from someone up in east germany. she was educated at state expense. but what has she done for those of us who live in the east? >> wojciech, do you understand eastern germany have so much resentment about a woman who is, after all, one of from eastern germany? >> because they are -- i gues

party takes seven point four percent the left party takes four point six percent which is not enough to clear the five percent hurdle for seats in parliament and the right wing alternative for germany is on six point one percent which puts them in the state parliament in lower saxony for the first time in total there are one hundred thirty five seats in the lower saxony state parliament and hand over based on the projected results the christian democrats will take forty nine of those seats the social democrats will have the largest share with fifty four the green party will have thirteen seats in the house the liberal f.d.p. party gets ten and the far right alternative for germany will have nine of the one hundred thirty five seats that means the current coalition of greens and social democrats fall short of having a governing majority i'm joined here now in the studio by thomas sparrow from the politics desk and our correspondent michelle cool down is also standing by for us in hanover. let's start with you what sort of government could be formed at this point. well what the social

they want to nominate a different candidate and we had a similar situation with the link of the left party back in two thousand and five petra pound so we'll have to see what the f.d.a. decide in the coming days and why is there so much concern about the day in parliament day a word julie elected they got nearly thirty percent of the vote taking their seats like any other parliamentary grouping. well of course one of the main concerns first of all is that the discussion in the bundestag in the german parliament could take a shift to the right but people are also concerned especially of the m.p.'s as to how they're going to use that time in parliament of course each parliamentarian is given a specific amount of time but it says concerns about exactly what messages they'll be conveying joining the parliamentary so sittings and also on top of that there's the debate as to how they all the opposite of the other parties and the government and the other opposition parties are going to deal with a.f.p. and if they ignore them completely and don't take any of that suggestions seriously then they a

party takes seven point five percent the left party takes four point six percent which is not enough to clear the five percent hurdle needed to gain seats in parliament and the far right alternative for germany is at six point two percent which puts them in the state parliament in lower saxony for the first time. there are one hundred thirty seven seats up for grabs in the state parliament and hanover based on the preliminary official results the christian democrats will take fifty of those seats the social democrats will have the largest share with fifty five the green party it will have twelve seats in the house the liberal f.d.p. party gets eleven and the alternative for germany will have nine of the one hundred thirty seven seats that means the current coalition of the greens and the social democrats fall just short of a governing majority in the social democrats strong performance and lower sexy lower saxony comes at a critical time when the party is sorely in need of good news. the but the social democrats haven't forgotten how to party just three weeks after their worst electi

of neutral ground i think you can say for all of those involved and obviously the green party they're the most left wing party involved in these talks on in terms of these talks on the left spectrum and the furthest away from them all the big variance the christian social union they are trying to push anglo-american into a right wing more right wing policies the greens obviously have no intention of going along with that merkel at the moment is managing to keep her policies more at the center and the greens are very eager in fact to join a government so they are prepared to make concessions but obviously they too have issues such as climate change such as certain issues concerned with migration where they are not likely to budge very much so what are these two potential coalition partners are going to try and push their agenda as given all of that difficult and how is it going to be for chocked america to build a new governing coalition well it's going to be very difficult i think. you know when you're explaining that this is called the jamaica possible jamaica coalition here so people are saying t
