but the polls that were conducted earlier predict a resounding failure for olaf schulz's social democrats and other parties from the ruling coalition. the germans have a lot of complaints about them, and they continue to grow with the speed of light. kiev's pumping up of weapons, the consequences of sanctions, the refusal of russian energy resources, the toothless reaction to the undermining of the northern streams, the migration crisis. against this background , the right of the alternative for germany is rapidly gaining political weight, as well as the left led by sarah wagenkhneh. who, in a word, is sharply against further military support for ukraine for dialogue with our country. our diplomats are in contact with the family of russian alexander labanov, who died in the gaza strip, as our embassy in israel stated, his relatives provide all necessary support. earlier , the military of the jewish state discovered the bodies of six people in an underground tunnel near the city of rafah in the south of the enclave. all of them were taken hostage by hamas militants in october last year dur

election in germany isn't until september of next year, but what does this all mean for chancellor olaf schulz and his coalition? >> yeah well, if we just think back all the way to say to 2004 when angela merkel was first elected, you had real mainstream strong parties that went into robust coalitions. i think the writing is on the wall. what happened at the european union vote back in june, where not only scholtz and spd party but also the greens and the fdp. >> they came third, fourth, and sixth in that particular election. >> and i don't see them recovering in the next year. so what we're going to see i'm almost convinced as a kind of cdu, csu merkel's formed the party that has also moved further to the right. and in many ways encroached on many of these policy ideas of the ifd they come out ahead. >> the big question is going to be to whom do they turn for a coalition? and while that wall that has enough against the ifd entering government, come down a wall in which we see as will the elections up until now and tomorrow, the kind there are cracks in this particular wall and going forward a
