party and they're governing in what in germany be called a grand coalition at the national level i think this would change the dynamic so sufficiently within conservative politics that i don't think that the the grand coalition will be able to hold together it surprises me all the more however the we are seeing this. sense of possible change beginning not just around i'm going back but within the party at this point in time because we have seen in the lower in the elections this week yesterday and in two weeks ago we've seen that both of the big . and the big big ten parties here in germany have taken an absolute hammering that is unction americans conservatives on the social democrats and you'd expect them if there were a snap election at some time in the next weeks or months you would expect them to take a number two so one wonders quite what has driven them to this move at this point in time to opt for that level of uncertainty. continue our conversation but let's first take a look at what that we have for you now as you mentioned if conservatives were founded in sunday's vote in has

hammered in the election there they've only just managed to cling on to power while merkel's national coalition partners the social democrats were handed their worst ever result in the state. a sobering of in for chancellor merkel's christian democrats in the has the state capital the c.d.u. premier can remain in office but no one is calling this result a success the disappointment is even greater among the social democrats this is the s.p.d. is worst result in has the state elections out of nearly four and a half million voters and has about sixty eight percent cast their ballots the results underscore the flagging support for chancellor merkel's coalition government in berlin with punishment for both the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. party leaders in berlin are now ready to change course student for. politics at the federal level contributed a lot to our losses in has and there are two reasons for that firstly something has to change in the end. we have a lot of work ahead of us so at the condition of the government is unacceptable. we have to ensure the government does what it was elected to do an e

the csu's national coalition partners, the social democrats, saw their vote halved, to 10%.y hill explains, many bavarians backed smaller parties instead, including the greens and the anti—immigrant alternative for germany. the csu is almost bavaria itself. it's traditionally a party that's used to reigning there supreme. it looks to have lost its absolutely majority. interestingly, csu picked several fights with angela merkel over immigration policy. it shifted itself to the right, in terms of rhetoric, over migration and it seems to have backfired. voters have deserted the party in droves and they have gone into the arms of the far right, the afd but, more significantly, into the arms of the green party who are the success story election in bavaria. the reason that this matters and the reason why angela merkel will be watching closely and no doubt with dismay is that what is happening in bavaria mirrors what is happening at the federal level. voters are starting to walk away from their old traditional centre right and centre left parties. i'll be more on this from munich i

of this past year with the governing christian social union here threatening to topple the national coalition if it didn't get its way and yet right now in this campaign it finds itself on the defensive over this issue. in news conferences c.s.u. ministers admit the effect immigration has had you have noted here we have had many irritations in the past few years the higher number of refugees that came into our country the question of integration and the big controversy about that merlin but the most important factors we are concentrating on a strong campaign by and in recent months the c.s.u. has sought to move further to the right to prevent the populist anti immigrant a.f.d. from encroaching on to its grand but analysts say ministers in berlin have resisted c.s.u. plans for the sea as you could always promise and proposed but in fact they couldn't bring home anything they promised they over promised and unload illiterate this is why conservatives now turn their back on them and flock to the afghans that which explains why that party is heading to sunday's election with confidence i think it

set is on preval acacia not accepting responsibility that things are not going well in the national coalitionor is this really a fight for direction within the c.d.u. party as well to reporters asta. i think it's a combination of both sore i remember having discussions with friends of mine who are members of the city you ten years ago when she was in a first term and we had a night over beer when they said ok she should remain chancellor but she should give up the party chairmanship because she's not conservative enough she's selling out the conservative values so she succeeded to remain chancellor the chairman of the party in the party backed her because she was successful but now the success obviously is. fading and so there are question marks and of course as i said she could just take it as it is and watch actually like she might be kicked out of office in both maybe offices but she said actually she she will do something the paradox situation we're in right now is that as we've seen with the elections yesterday night you have a very successful government in has been but they are not so p

the letter itself was actually written by a group of us, the national coalition of concerned mental health experts. it is the same group that also called for an evaluation of the president. some of the troubling signs that we saw were poor regulation of emotion, evasion of questions, exaggerated entitlement -- which actually makes someone more likely to be capable of violating others'rights. other troubling signs that we have seen work paranoia, conspiracy theories, and an inability to have empathy for others. those were some of the signs that we feel as mental health professionals -- it is our duty to call out signs that are indicateand signs that possibly a troubling condition on the part of mr. kavanaugh. how manywho is -- people have signed on to this letter?? >> so far, about 150 have signed on. our group is actually quite large, several thousand in number, but it is often hard to get everyone mobilized within just a couple of days. so we issued the letter and sent senators,the fbi, to and to the media. amy: i want to turn to judge brett kavanaugh giving part of his opening statement

one of the things i was reminded when i commanded in afghanistan is we had a 46-nation coalition. most of those other nations that came didn't come because they had interest in afghanistan. they came because they believed in the united states. they valued the relationship with us. it wasn't perfect but that was very important. so what i'd say when we look at the khashoggi issue, we do want to have a relationship long term with the king of saudi arabia and we will. but it has to be based on trust. it has to be based on values. it has to be based on respect. were we not to show the strength in that now not to be demanding of our allies as we are of our enemies but also of ourselves long term, i think we pay a huge price. >> i want to see whether you agree with your former civilian boss, former defense secretary robert gates, who we keep pushing all these leaders as to what they think is the best response. as they call it, thread the needle, that you are talk bing about right now. he said this administration could do worse than look back at what the george h.w. bush administration di

as airmen we're used to operating in a multi-national coalition kind of way. the air and space is just kind of that way. so often the coalition comes together first in the air, we have very deep partnerships and alliances not only with our five eyes, partners with -- but with multiple countries around the world. i would also add that we are also doing things to try to make things inherently easier to partner. one of them is what we're doing with the light attack experiment. looking at a light attack aircraft that not only is exportable from the very beginning, but rides on a network that we can fully share. so that the information system that connects the joint tactical air controller on the ground with the aircraft and with the air operations center to share information is exportable from the beginning so that callies w on export controls. >> okay. so we are about to get to the last question, but before i do i want to take a moment to let the audience know about some of our upcoming events at the national press club. on thursday, september 27th, the national

access nation coalition. most of them were there because we the united states asked them to be there. they didn't have interest in afghanistan. they thought the relationship to us mattered. i would argue of the more we failed to maintain that, the more we failed to respect that over time when you call, it won't be 46 nations. it may be four. some day we may call and it may be none. we can say that's fine, i don't think so. >> the president loyalists might call you some names based on what you just said. >> i have been called names before. i think what we have to be do is be honest. i think we have to really decide what he matters to us. >> this book does that i don't care whether you are on the right or left. makes you think i has some unusual pairings. martin luther king one. walt disney one. some that make you think and step back what breed, what makes leaders, they are not necessarily saints. they have a unique skill set that keeps people watching them. who it applies, to how it applies today. that's for t

coalition partner her sister party is the c.s.u. which has just had a major losses i mean are we on the precipice of political crisis here on the national level nina you know the big problem with this government coalition which. used to be called the grand coalition because it used to consist of the two most important parties in germany then losing the stans all over the country we're seeing it the big problem is that there is a spate mistrust between the leading figures on the national level and i think there could be a crisis is any time a crisis can erupt between the party leaders between healthy or between americal and between and the so you know if they get through this crisis which is a bavarian crisis where the blame game is only beginning as we've analyzed then the next crisis is around the corner and so the big question for the social democrats will be are they going to stay in this coalition or not where does the german electorate fit into all of this moving talking a lot about the politicians right. i know you study you know political movements what motivates people to get out to the polls constantine i mean what must they be

it's all province the syrian foreign ministry is now calling on enter national organizations to step in over the u.s. led coalition's ongoing campaign r.t. senior correspondent what i guess as the details the massacres the united nations to get involved to investigate these u.s. led coalition airstrikes sixty odd civilians dead reportedly worth an investigation no which the pentagon is already preempting it wasn't their fault see that all these civilians died when they bombed a mosque it was isis is fault because the islam ists went to a mosque. such dire misuse of the mosque is another example of their violation of the law of war and made the mosque a valid military target interesting reasoning by the same logic if isis fighters get treated the civilian hospital the us is well within its rights to level it but this sort of trigger happy attitude is costing hundreds of lives in july u.s. led coalition airstrikes on villages in did as sort of syria killed as many as fifty four people according to various human rights organizations dozens of them being women and children the pentagon men admitted that it may have carr

person is on to her successes to germany to a policy the prospect of a conservative green coalition at the national level a new blueprint for germany i don't really see that happening to be honest i mean i think that she would like to manage for succession but you know we all know what they say about the best laid plans i think that you know the she's going to lose these elections in the coming months and there could be a dynamic there where she's just going to not be able to steer the party and germany in the direction she would like. and she would be she would be pressured to to to to step down at some point possibly before the you know the the end of the term or likely before the end of the term i don't think that these ideas that she's going to be able to nominate somebody as her chosen successor are going to going to turn out i think more likely than a green conservative coalition would be a conservative backlash within the c.d.u. of sense for kind of national distance just busy. ok thank you all three for joining me today is a real pleasure president and we've given you plenty of food for so
