state premier so the left party and he's a rather exceptional character within that party managed prove that they can do conservative as well he taps into a christian conservative camp which actually doesn't play such a significant role in the east but still so he's somebody to talk to at the same time the left party together with the far right if both parties under the map calls conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. tab doesn't work together with one of the big losers of the night the greens leader hole but the greens who scored so well and who managed to really put some pressure on the deal as well in other regional elections so that this was a significant dramatic situation that that now is the time for all democratic parties to talk to each other that they have to talk to each other and they're still big question marks we're going to michael see do you will come around to that point but the pure math might force them to well let's go where the stories that too. well to me caylus point to can these divisions be bridged. yea

might morning the top candidate here has already ruled out working to get there with a left party and honestly i don't really see how these people these 2 parties would find common ground so what the left party could do it could try to find 3 other parties to form a coalition consisting of 4 parties in total that will be a 1st in germany and i imagine it would take a long time to sort things out i mean how big of a setback is this for chancellor angela merkel. well i think it is a big setback 1st of all because the c.d.u. on the market's conservative party here has almost lost one 3rd of its vote and this is the 2nd point is that is quite a good example of how frank meant it political the political landscape in germany is since the rice off the a if d. so. it would be a sign for angle america that it would be very hard for the big parties for the c.d.u. and the s.p. d.s. well in the future to form stable governments and their coffers porting from air force thank you. turn exit next to our other top story u.s. president donald trump has announced that the leader of the so-called islami

succeeded in expanding its base so why couldn't the left party keep the f.t. in check and to put i try to keep them in check they began polarizing the constituency i want to talk to the people on the streets and i want an end to this polarization and i want to let the people know where we stand and where we're headed or know if they can vixen. the only problem is that the range is becoming increasingly polarized that's what left party supporters keep telling me. this is small rebellion but it's not a small as we'd like it to be. some people irreconcilable if that speech is harsha more vicious and dimwitted. my old hometown seems withdrawn and i fear the stadia lections might make things worse. according to polls the left party with a board over i'm in or has the most support but might not succeed in forming a coalition government and since no one wants to work with me a year to date the federal state is that drift off the political block which would further dampen the social trenches. sometimes when i go back home i feel like a stranger. and then you're cool w

company everyone polls have closed in the state election of through injury in eastern germany the left party is in pole position there and now the strongest political party in the state but the far right has stormed into 2nd place at the expense of chancellor angela merkel c.d.u. let's take a look now at the preliminary results for you. the conservative c.d.u. took a bruising hit they have 22 point one percent of the vote that is a sharp drop of 11 percentage points the socialist left party which leads the governing coalition in the state at the moment has get this 30.6 percent of the votes well the center left social democrat s.p.d. is at 8.3 percent and the right wing populist a d. party made big gains and more than doubled their vote they are on a 23.6 percent while the 2nd strongest party in the parliament now the interim environmentalist's greens have 5 percent the business friendly is also on 5 per cent and it's shaping up to be a very very interesting night in the room joe let's go there now to do a report on your cost is in the capital city of the air for to good to have you with thi

party and the greens can't continue as it is the other 2 parties center of left lost considerable ground and up a big when i was the alternative for germany party or a f.t. the far right party is considered particularly radical and. the parties that are in gelida b.n. hooka struck a particularly nationalist tone which won the party 2nd place. in the stuffy old system is now being swept away my friends we're now going to take back our country. though. that was disappointment for the conservatives or c.d.u. party chancellor angela merkel's party came in behind the f.t. and 3rd place but isn't it a lot out for it it's a bitter day for the c.d.u. in 3 and a bitter day for the c.d.u. in germany we fight together we win together and just like today we also lose together. mike mortaring cd used to renji a leader has already ruled out the idea of forming a coalition with either the far right or the far left this means forming a regional government will most likely be an extremely complicated task. our political correspondent hans bon ted has been covering this election for us good morning hans a

and this raises the question what else could happen and the left party the unable to form a coalition i'm going to michael's conservative c.d.u. party has also ruled out going into coalition with the left party so the math simply don't add up they would have to be creative and if anything this is proof that the far right if he has a very minus to shake up i dare say disrupt the usual. politics in particular done here and that's an important point because that takes is the next level why does this what does it matter beyond the range of what is why does it matter on the national level and why should german chancellor merkel why should she be concerned well she's a lot less concerned than she was just a couple of months ago i mean we see her so-called grand coalition with the social democrats politically pretty much on the rocks and the only thing that's holding them together is that they know if they were to cool fresh elections which is not easy here in germany would need a long lengthy process and they both have a lot to lose rather than anything to gain so the ring is yet another te

and inserted into support for the right wing. 50 traditionally the left party is a successor to the communist party that used to rule in east germany it was a protest party before but more recently there have he has also gathered protest votes because of the migration coming into germany from foreign countries and that has strengthened that party but both of them in this in a sense of protest parties now we are seeing those for jetting that the right wing populist if he could win up to 20 percent of the votes could end up being a part of the recent government into the i think that's very very unlikely effect we can say that that will not be the case they are after all 2 other parties that are of a similar size are probably stronger that is the currently ruling left party and the christian democrats the console. as of angle america and all other parties have said they will never go into government with the f.d.a. and into ringgit that's especially important since this is a and if he is a particularly right wing its leader is someone who has one has to say fascist tendencies so the pos

the only problem is that the range is becoming increasingly polarized that's what left party supporters keep telling me. this is a small rebellion but it's not a small as we'd like it to be. some people believe irreconcilable if that speech is harsha more vicious and dimwitted. my old hometown seems withdrawn and i fear of the state elections might make things worse according to the polls the left party with the board over i'm a law passed the more support but might not succeed in forming a coalition government and since no one wants to work with the f.d.a. the federal state is the drift of the political deadlock which would further deepen the social trenches. sometimes when i go back home i feel like a stranger. now tourists are flocking to australia as iconic sandstone rock a little for one last climb before a permanent ban comes into a fact effective starting on saturday the monolith will no longer be open to climbers the decision was made out of respect to indigenous australians who consider the site sacred according to the park's most recent data 300000 people visited the ruined 20

before reunification in 1990 it's the only german state with a governing coalition headed by the left party the far right if he has been polling strongly and could overtake the conservatives as the state's number 2 party behind the post communist left party. this man could be the winner 3 in just a premier boat a ram a low of the left party leads the opinion polls he hopes to win with public transport more teachers and free education from kindergarten to university. oh no fees at university then why should there be fees when children go to school in the nordic education system is the stone that's most important that means that at the outset what matters is that no child is left behind the conservative cd used lead candidate mike moring is hoping for a change of government in interviews he's been adamant that he will not work with the left party or the far right. because it's not what we want through engines to know that the state needs a stable government and we will not be able to cope with experiments a minority government or even an acting government. it's unclear who moring wants to for
