the main opposition party is 26.8 percent that's down nearly 5 percent for the conservative party 3rd place the right wing populist a.f.d. at 9.6 percent also down losing some 3 percent and the environmentalist greens taking up a bit in that state to 8 percent and another coalition partner currently is the business friendly f.t.v. they are at 5.9 percent then you have a smaller regional party called the free voters and they are going home with 6 percent and other parties again not reaching that 5 percent threshold so they will not be getting seats in the state legislature turning back to michelle is so. what do we make of these numbers is about the size of. us and these numbers are by no means reflecting what's the big picture right now the social democrat party came out because their own candidate once again modifier is incredibly popular. in her own state and her former big tent party the social democrats are taking some kind of solace from that although not confident so far all of saw it the current finance minister celebrated the news that these elections not just prove that his o

so we're looking at specially at how conservative party is going to be performing in these elections today and other regional elections coming up in the next months and they've been under a pressure initially during the corona crisis people rallied behind the government that was very positive for i'm going to go and her party but in recent months they have been questions about how the vaccination campaign has been organized to bodge difficulties in setting up a testing regime and general dissatisfaction simply because the current crisis is not gone yet so the question is to what extent that will affect the party the 2nd strongest party in germany at the moment are the greens surprisingly and they are in fact leading the government in the bottom gutenburg one of the states way the actions are taking place today together with the group governing there together with the conservatives so that's a state to watch simply because of the relationship between these 2 parties that could extend into a national government possibly by the end of the year between those 2 parties now at a at a natio

the one to communicate with the wheels of the conservative party. you have to prop up the wheels so they can speak a language people understand and share experiences with. i think the democrats do a very good job of making sure they have people who represent all around and that is what we need to do better. you can't take carlton to philly. that's not going to work. [laughter] >> absolutely. >> i just want to piggyback off of what she is saying. the messenger is just as important as the message. you can have the right message but the wrong messenger. one thing i say all the time, people like you always say something that makes people mad. here's the thing, the democratic party is really good at playing identity politics. republicans are not. we don't care how you take what we say, we are just going to give it to you. but here's the thing, in doing that, we have to remember everybody just can't handle the blunt truth and there are times we have to stand before the people and they are going to have to hear somebody that they can relate to. when you wa

party. very bad i think brant members of parliament potentially profiting financially from the corona crisis that's a very bad look and there are warnings that it could throw a negative light on all politicians but it does seem to be a particular problem of the conservative parties clearly it could impact their electoral standing in this big election year there's federal elections in september but there's a couple of regional elections coming up this weekend so we may see something there especially in budden version back where the c.d.u. is in coalition with the greens and they may be worried about losing support in that context we have to wait and see what happens at the weekend big going forward i think anglo-american is policy does need to show that it's learning the lessons from this from this scandal and that it's going to tougher rules or code of conduct and improve its behavior because this is about trust me i am sure most people would agree no one should be earning hundreds of thousa

rishi sunak is fiscally conservative, and historically the conservative party has always said this is the defining line between us and the labour party, which is that we are a little bit parsimonious, we try to look after the household budget. i think that is different. if you remember after the financial crisis there was a programme launched called austerity. but the government is very clear we are not going back to that. which means the only other way we can do that is through tax rises at some point. the other point is that we are dealing with a very different conservative party which has a very different idea compared to historically about the role of the state. they think it is a good idea for the state to get involved in certain areas, and therefore in this post—brexit world don't be surprised to see them doing things which you would think, that looks a bit like picking winners, that looks a bit like state interventions. net—zero, etc? you could see a lot of money going into areas of business is that you probably previously wouldn't have seen. it is interesting because the c

credibility of politicians in general and of the conservative party in particular so they're very much on the back foot at the moment in these elections and the question is to what extent voters will in fact understand. will you vote is do you think use this election will use that vote to show that displeasure with the with the current government there is an expectation that that will happen partly because of the scandals we've just been talking about partly also simply because of the protest against the pandemic situation and it's unclear whether those votes will go to the far right who will turn out to for germany or elsewhere that something very difficult to predict with them all right at least one front thanks very much. now there is anger in the united kingdom over the police handling of a vigil in on a of sarah ever allowed with us here 3 year old was allegedly kidnapped and murdered by a police officer while walking home in london on the 3rd of march on saturday a gathering to honor her and other victims of mail by lance was broken up by police citing coronavirus restrictions of

chance of america's conservative party and the c.d.u. is expected to come in 2nd probably around in the 10 percent area behind the greens and we expect possibly a repetition of this governing coalition to come out of this election but things could also maybe shift to a different set up were the other parties for example the social democrats or the business friendly f.t.p. . a result that would allow them to form a coalition with the greens and as we're talking about what could happen we actually have right here in the studio now the results have just come in some overturned michel or for a quick wrap of that i will give you the 1st prognosis in these exit polls and one must bear in mind that up to 50 percent of people are expected to have voted by mail ballots it will take a bit longer but the big story of the night already appears to be that there are significant gains for the greens particularly. only a slight gain but significant losses for i'm going to conservative c.d.u. party which of course was embroiled in a scandal. taking money

the dutch prime minister claimed victory in parliamentary elections exit polls put his conservative party on course to become the largest in the lower house in europe's 1st major election since the pandemic. speaking of which the pandemic brazil recording its highest number of covert 19 infections since it began more than 2600 deaths registered on wednesday with 90000 more infections hospitals are close to full capacity and more than half of brazilian state's incoming health minister says the government can only do so much though to stop the virus from spreading. what you thought would be in. my office it's not enough for the government to recommend the use of masks people are not capable of adhering to these type of measures it's a simple type of measure that does not need costs for example the government or comments or direction of people in large groups and of people organizing we can't parties both of which help the virus to circulate so it is not necessary to wait for the government to solve everything as monika you know cave in rio to update us now when we hear from the new health m

it's a problem that is not only concentrated in the conservative party in the end it's a whole image of the parliament and of the democracy which is suffering from it so where does the problem lie is it the politicians or is it the system itself which allows politicians legally to accept money while serving in parliament. i would say that a system kind of. influence also hold the people taken holds a mold say their political cultures so in germany there is definitely a huge business. the business affairs are very closed to politics and indeed the lol surrounding all these topics of outside incomes for m.p.'s or party donations are. much less tricks and in major european countries so it's also because the rules are not strict enough that some representatives of course not all of them yeah started to profit from it all serves their own interests what's the 1st change then that you would make. the 1st change we would makes those acts this kind of affairs are not possible anymore or at least that the public can see before him. which political or possible conflicts of interest would be to
