olaf scholz fends off and attacked two weeks before germany heads to the polls. and a bite out of the apple. the judge orders major changes to the way the tech giant runs its app store but stops short of calling it a monopoly. good morning, tom. back in the office. i am also nauseous with this debate. past week was apocalyptic. cpi would drive the taper debate. tom: it seems the debate is back. i know you have been reading from some remarks. but it is not just the ppi. it is the cpi. there is also the u.k., eurozone, canada and india. they are all coming out with data about whether this is transitory or if it is becoming more embedded. manus: it was enough to make me jump over a firewall and pay two dollars a month. i have signed up for it because i wanted to read the rest of the story. it is not 1979. even i cannot remember that. 9.3%. it hit the top and rolled over. i encourage everyone to read the op-ed. wages are rising but they are not paying more, they are incentivizing more. tom: and that is one of the question marks. use all that play out in the s&p 500 l

the polls showing another win for olaf scholz.s in the polls and they widened again this weekend. how did the debate crystallize him as the front runner? maria: the full debate was very telling in terms of how the dynamics of the election have changed. he won the first debate. and a lot of this feeds into the idea that this is the spd and olaf scholz's debate to lose -- alexion to lose. one line caught my attention -- armin laschet said if my finance minister behaved like this -- that would be a problem. he also made reference to the cum-ex scandal which has close ties to hamburg. the other issue that armin laschet kept on going about was this red scare. a coalition that would see olaf scholz joining forces with the radical left. until now, none of this is resonating in the numbers with the german public. but also come in the opinion poll conducted after the debate, armin laschet did seem to win some ground. his public opinion did increase. until now, it is been armin laschet on the back foot at the sentiment is changing to coming

olaf scholz says he has the mandate.u think you should have the first attempt at forming the first coalition? thomas: mandate is a big word with parties that have 75% of german, they will not have voted for the person who will become chancellor. what we are looking at is a structural change in the german party landscape with the end of the catch parties, the christian democrats the latest victim of this cross european move and the question of a mandate, what the german voters were really telling us us night is a big one. to your question, he certainly has a better chance of forming a government and that is not just because of 1.5 points ahead, but because he has momentum, he has won this election, one that mr. laschet has significantly lost, now is a tactical game that we have seen in germany's history, a multidimensional chest game as -- chess game as we haven't seen it before. dani: i do wonder what you're foreseeing and terms of time this will take, not just to figure out which party is coming ahead, but the coalition

you asked about olaf i greens? could you live with that? you asked about olaf scholz i greens?with each other while being probed by a couple of tv presenters on who they might work with, and you will notice the dynamics are fascinating because none of them want to rule out anything because they don't know what combination of parties might shake down. the leader of the fdp, the free—market liberals, says it is no secret i am more comfortable with the conservatives than the greens. he didn't say, i will not go into coalition with the greens. then you see olaf scholz being complimentary about the greens, annalena baerbock sitting to his left. those are more natural bedfellows within a coalition and perhaps some of the other parties, but no one is being definitive because they know they may need to work with each other, and let's remember the context. this stage in the actual process back in 2017, everyone was saying there is this option that option and the option we ended up with was the biggest parties, social democrats and the cdu, rivals, going into a grand coalition, which man

olaf scholz is carrying a lot of momentum. he made it clear he wants to see a government in place led by the spd before christmas. the bad results are really beginning to trickle down for the cdu. also facing a lot of criticism from a newspaper that shapes public opinion in germany. yesterday, it was brutal. it kept repeating he needs to wake up to reality, the cdu is not in a position to form a government. then we headed public opinion survey that came out, 56% of germans would prefer olaf scholz to be the next chancellor. you can see where the narrative is. it will be very difficult. i would really say it is the traffic lights coalition that is really gaining traction right now in germany. very briefly, we know that christian lennar will be having bilateral talks with the greens. they say they need to agree to a common agenda between the two of them before they can speak to olaf scholz. dani: great catching up with you. that is maria tadeo staying on top of the german election. get to the first word news with juliette saly.

olaf scholz has the advantage in coalition building? you are the greens are the liberals and you say the cdu have lost one million votes to the spd, i can get a better deal with the cdu than i would with the spd. >> that is absolutely right. mr. schulz' party won more votes. the spd is ahead. but only narrowly. that means mr. laschet is under pressure. he either gets into the job or he is a big, big loser. his constraint is that even if he wants to offer the greens a very good deal, he would have to keep his party together. the bavarians might balk at coming too much toward the greens. it is a bit of an open question. it may take weeks of perilous talks between these parties before we know what is up. it looks likely the greens and the sdp -- the ftp -- the greens and the fdp will decide who they would like to see, mr. schulz or mr. laschet. francine: we continue our coverage of germany's elections and analysis with the whole hosts of guests right here. panic at the petrol pumps. pressure on the u.k. prime minister as the impact of euro

in terms of olaf scholz, it does seem like he's on autopilot to win the election. lot of the german political commentators i speak with, they say that grilling on monday is probably not going to be very significant. this is incredibly complex. there is no evidence to suggest he personally got rich from this. and it also seems like the cdu move to make this -- make him look bad. the timing of this in a region the justice minister is a cdu member -- tom: may end up backfiring for them. maria, as always, great analysis. olaf scholz on autopilot for the moment, at least. maria is going to keep us across that story. maria tadeo, thank you much indeed. coming up, eurozone cpi comes in at 10:00 a.m. u.k. time. make a note of that if you are looking to boe and its rate views. and the fda hears booster shot arguments for the white house vaccine plans, the controversy around that. triple witching day in the u.s. market. we'll be watching for increased volatility, goldman sachs pointing to $3.4 trillion in equity options that will be expiring. finally, russia heads to the pol

the social democrats are -- have moved quite to the left, especially in the party leadership while olaf schultz, the candidate for the chancellorship, he is a conservative person from the social democrats so there have been ideas floating around the democrats could pursue a coalition with the greens on the left, it would be a precedent case because so far parties had declined to consider going with the left at the federal level because of their views in foreign policy mostly the left wants to get out of nato, for example, a view not shared by any of the other parties in the german system so there are gaps to bridge, once again, spd, social democrats some of them favor this line because their commonalities in social policy but others are very concerned and the country as a whole would not cherish this option, i believe. >> i want to ask about olaf schultz and the potential impact of the questioning from german lawmakers. today german lawmakers are going to be asking the finance minister about the investigation into anti-money laundering obviously it hasn't a big impact on his popularity

how reliant or how trustworthy is this testimony from olaf scholz?xpect to see any answers from him? >> well, i don't expect to see other answers than he has given in the past year. he has crated additional jobs as the financial intelligence unit, which has to process basically reports from banks. . but it's not enough. it's not enough because we clearly have a problem here and it's becoming big scrutiny for the fourth largest economy in the world, which is germany because we are dealing with suspicious transaction reports on finance. we had the wiretap scandal. it has not worked out properly. soi t's a big problem for mr. scholz. maria: and you talk about wirecard, carmax happening not just under scholz, but is this disqualify him from being chancellor? fabio: that's something the electorate has to decide. the problem in germany right now, the other alternatives, the other candidates are also quite weak, so this is what scholz has the time of his life right now. a huge portion of the population doesn't trust any of the candidates. that's my impressi

because they want a change in government and because they want their next chancellor to be called olafsingly perhaps, but because the vote is so tight, at a different party headquarters, the conservative candidate backed by angela merkel also claimed his right to try to form a government. although his party is looking at its worst election results since 1949. translation: we had 16 years in germany with angela merkel| as chancellor, and this is why we will try everything to form a government under the leadership of the cdu union. it appears voters weren't bowled over by any single party. people we spoke to at polling stations earlier seemed pulled in very different directions. the cdu has been in power for the past 16 years, and a lot of the challenges were not really addressed. i voted for change, but not a dramatic change. the climate crisis is the most pressing issue we have - to deal with urgently. the environment was a big election issue, germany's green party didn't perform as strongly as it had hoped, but it's tipped to play a key role in the next german government. so, what now

because they want a change in government and because they want their next chancellor to be called olaft because the vote is so tight, at a different party headquarters, the conservative candidate backed by angela merkel also claimed his right to try to form a government. although his party is looking at its worst election results since i91i9. translation: we had 16 years in germany with angela merkel| as chancellor, and this is why we will try everything to form a government under the leadership of the cdu union. it appears voters weren't bowled over by any single party. people we spoke to at polling stations earlier seemed pulled in very different directions. the cdu has been in power for the past 16 years, and a lot of the challenges were not really addressed. i voted for change, but not dramatic change. the climate crisis is the most pressing issue we have - to deal with urgently. the environment was a big election issue. germany's green party didn't perform as strongly as it had hoped, but it's tipped to play a key role in the next german government. so, what now? well, it's all ab

it looks to us as though this morning olaf scholz has solidified his poll position and go in with thereens, liberals and democrats he said he has invited both of those parties to start those negotiations, to see where there are things where they see eye to eye, where there are things they don't see eye to eye maybe they can workout. he says he wants to create an atmosphere of trust where everybody can bring things into these negotiations they say are key to them and try and push those issues through. so it certainly seems as though if olaf scholz forms a coalition, each of the partners if he does get the liberals, they will have a pretty strong leg to stand on. also due to the election results which has both parties with some pretty strong results. on the other hand, armin laschet, the conservatives, the party of angela merkel, it seems for him, the air seems to be getting quite thin. there has been a lot of criticism and a poll showing a lot of germans do favor olaf scholz to become the next chancellor. isa? >> fred, keep us posted on those negotiation talks. appreciate it. thanks, f

you had the social democrat olaf scholz, germany's finance minister. but from a rival party, who is also saying there is going to be a lot of continuity. he's essentially making himself out to be the heir -- the successor to angela merkel, the true successor to angela merkel because he says he's the one who would be the strongest leader of this country moving forward with a more social element in the policies. i think the really big difference that we're seeing compared to some of the other elections that we have covered here in the past in germany is the fact that in this election, the environment is such a big issue. it is something where you're not going to become chancellor here in this country unless you put forward some very strong environmental agenda. i think also, robin, as we have been talking about, that's one of the reasons why the green party is looking to score some pretty big points in this election. again, the main candidate of the greens, annalena baerbock was leading in the polls for a while, but now in third place, up for a strong sh

say one thing, at the moment olaf sholz is i thing, at the moment olaf sholz is the best chance to becomenate the prime minister, mark rutte. this is an image of the leader of the hague unity party. he was a member of a far right party before converting to islam. the prime minister's security service said he displayed suspicious behaviour as he walked through the same area as the prime minister. he was later released and has treated... —— tweeted. who is more on this from our correspondent. we have often seen at the dutch feminist cycling round the streets with no visible security, but over the last few days that a change. —— dutch prime minister. suspected spotters have been seen near the prime minister. these are people who will look for opportunities to commit a criminal act or make preparations for a criminal act. act or make preparations for a criminalact. for act or make preparations for a criminal act. for example, act or make preparations for a criminalact. for example, an criminal act. for example, an abduction criminalact. for example, an abduction or attempted assassination, bu

and because they want the next chancellor of this country to be olaf shut. well, the green party will also go down as big when it's from this election, they put on an extra 5.8 percent from what they posted back in 2017. they were partying things at green party headquarters on sunday night into the early hours of monday. morning, along with the free democrats to help pretty much around what they got back in 2017 . they look almost certain to be the king makers when it comes to forming a new government. so those are the winners. have a look at the loses because whether our win is that has to be loses and it is the center, right? conservative union of the christian democratic union and their bavarian sister party, the christie and social union, who certainly fall into that biggest loser. cut agree, it's the lowest numbers that they've posted since the 2 parties have come together back in 72 years ago. really huge question. so exactly what went wrong. that's going to be a big old top see when it comes to what's happened within the center, right? but they still

the green party is most likely to be allied with olaf shop. he has the current finite finance minister and he is of the democrat, the socialist democratic party. and so the socialist party looks like they're going to be the ones probably with that green party that might take leadership, interesting and ankle, america was empower since george w bush, 16 years this has been stability for germany, actually stability for europe. so as the 4th largest economy in the world, the country that's the most interested probably in what's going on in china because 50 percent of what they sell into your goes through germany. and they're a big ally on germany. and this is going to be a lot of lack of stabilization throughout europe because of this. oh, absolutely. and we've got about 30 seconds left. but do we foresee a major shift in what as you mentioned is your largest economy here. absolutely. because uncle mark don't think she was the conservative party. what's. what's interesting about uncle michel, she came from the east of germany. she was exposed to

olaf scholz, social democrat and finance minister and angela merkel�*s coalition government is stilllyjust. the representative of angela merkel�*s conservatives, narrowed the gap, perhaps because the chancellor who vowed to avoid the election campaign has been at his side in recent days. the future government must provide wealth, security and peace and that is what we stand for. germany's green party will most likely take third place lead by annalena baerbock. they hoped for better and climate change is a big election issue here. but he could still end up in a coalition with the winner. as if all of that was not competition enough, the berlin marathon is scheduled as german voters go to the polls and we met with this couple as they familiarise themselves with the course. translation: i would've loved to have kept angela merkel. . i do not see her strength in any of the candidates. translation: yes, but angela merkel is not the popular- at the beginning either, so we should give these people a chance. germany is on the threshold of a new political era, but it may take some time. whoev

so she was more pro business and she was less on all the social benefits that olaf schultz is advocating and ran on a platform for social benefits. so i think you will see businesses a thriving life and her mandate over those 16 years was primarily due to the success of the german called me. well, and i know we've seen some actual response already from the business community. i think siemens their director actually said they weren't too concerned at this point because they don't see a huge shift in way economic dependency. or even despite the fact that this might because you're exactly right. they don't see any major threat because no party has a mandate. however, most businesses in germany that have thrived and dom well over the last 20 years, hence the good economy in germany. they obviously, with bank of america gone, they won't be as much support to the business community. absolutely. hillary ford, which of the british america business association. thank you so much for breaking rachel, and that's it. for the time he gets boom bus on demand in the portable tv app available on smartph

would that continue under olaf schultz and would he stand by the u.s. as the u.s. challenges china. he had to say. >> you can rely on the continuity in this question. it is important that we understand democracies and that we see in the word it becomes more dangerous. it is important we work together even if we have conflicts in one or the other question. >> reporter: olaf scholz saying he believes democracies should work together, a soft-spoken man, of course, and then you have angela merkel's party, which came in second place. again, i was at their party headquarters last night and it was a bad move that was around there. nevertheless, they believe that possibly they could also form a coalition again with the greens, possibly with the liberal party as well. it looks as though right now in the driver's seat you have the gentleman you saw on screen organization laugh scholz, and i saw angela merkel yesterday, it really wasn't the way she wanted to leave the political stage by having a bad result like that. it was a bit sad to see yesterday. >> end of an era too. she's ruled for far
