it's a green party who sets the issues which are debated. it's a green party with rob, the social democrats, of the christian democrats to follow the path. so they are really a significant part of german political life. dr. pat. so the, the election results are the worst ever anglo merkel, c d u party, and the ruling lions. what has gone so badly wrong for them do you thing? well, 1st of all, it doesn't come as a surprise said f, the 60 years off the c d o being empower people in germany, one of the different government. this is something which usually is expected in democracy. second, and even more important, the c d. u, under the rule of america is adopted so many positions of the social democrats of the green parties. the christian democrats have cockpit to put a right way, social democratic and grim policies that voters now have the impression, well, why don't you vote for the regional or not only for the christian democrats as a copy of these policies? so the general minds in germany is leading towards the social democrats and towards t

the green party wants to prohibit things like driving fast. our way to get the climate neutrality is using the economy. the social economy, a concept we are using in germany. we mostly count on our economy to get the market in the right direction. renewable energy is much cheaper than fossil energy. for example, coal, a more expensive the nuclear energy. >> that is one perspective from angela merkel's center-right party. let's hear from the social democrats. >> i think people really like that we went steady, we did not change our course to having one strategy for the whole campaign and we stick to it. especially having covid-19, the people really want to have somebody who knows how to handle crisis. olaf scholz is projecting got the people. >> what will you do to protect german people? some say your plans are too expensive and will damage the german economy. >> if like the cdu, we were to talk about cutting taxes and promising people earning a lot of money, to cut their income taxes, that would cost a lot of money. we are going the other way a

, because climate change is of course the, the main topic for the green party. but the liberals, they really don't want to pay too much money for this difference on, on taxes and a lot of other issues. so they need to iron this out 1st before the larger parties come into play. the long road ahead isn't that before we have any resolution here, what other variables we looking at? yes, it's going to be a very difficult go elation because in the morning when the old shoals, so let's talking about this possible correlation. at the same time, the cd you leader, i mean last year to last the, the election was really under a lot of scrutiny within his own party for admitting his personal contribution to this loss. so there was a lot of speculation that might be some personal changes in the party, but then i was later he came out in the afternoon during a press conference saying that he feels personal responsible for the mistakes he made during the campaign. but he said the german people still voted for us just slightly behind the social democrats. and he says, we also st

linda and robert hop back from the green party. well, they've been in deep in conversation about what form of agreement they can reach with each other before they speak to either of the 2 parties that were vying for 1st place. that matters. because 4 years ago, the greens and the free democrats and the kristian democrats as angle americans, christy and democrats spent weeks trying to form a coalition. and it fell apart because mr. linz not from the free democrats, he wasn't prepared to compromise enough for that to work. question is, if they are able to speak to each other, that is the free democrats and the greens. so they form a kind of understanding. well then they would form quite a large block in parliament and that would strengthen their hand in any discussions with either of the 2 parties who were vying for 1st place. i realize this can sound quite quite jargon is the can quite technical language that was actually happening right now. is you have these 2 potential julia partners trying to pool differences trying to find some

that's the red of the social democrats, the greens of the green party, and the yellow of the free democrats. there's also the germany coalition, and deutschland coalition, or sometimes called the mickey mouse coalition, by those that don't particularly like it. that's because it makes up the colors of the german flag or the other colors of his knees. mouse. that's the red of the social democrats, the black of the conservative union, and the yellow of the free democrats, and is particularly popular with business. not so much with anybody else that brings us onto to national flag coalition that you make a coalition, which is between the conservative union, the green party, and the free democrats. plenty of questions would be raised with that one. then there's the kenya coalition. so called because of the can you flag as i mentioned, that's red, black and green. now mark is zada, who's the leader of the various christiy and social union? he quite fancy a jamaica coalition will. of course he would that would see him or his party at least remain in government. what we are hearing though is when

mike, the green party candidate. he is leading in the polls. if you win you will be the first elected green mp in ontario. what does this mean and how do you feel? >> exhausted and exhilarated. hundreds of people behind me joining. there is so much energy inside. i have been walking the streets and listening to so many neighbors. [inaudible] [screaming and cheering] [inaudible] >> more people were sharing their priorities from the lack of affordable housing to the climate crisis. so when the liberal incumbent stepped back, more people across the community were that much more eager. [inaudible] >> obviously they turned the channel and realized there candidate was on tv. as we eased toward the end of the night, a liberal minority government elected. conservatives, 121, which -- but are ahead in the popular vote. questions around vote efficiency. let me go back to david. and anne-marie paul -- is there any rumbling about it she leaves her position immediately? >> disappointed but a few minutes ago, they were dancing. pe

party, do you think it is important that green parties do well on the political side of things? as regards your view, that fossil fuels of us, majority of them need to be kept on the ground. if we're going to not to destroy an i late the species and principal, i think that could be helpful. but i think, i think the main influence green parties across the world in germany included, is that they put pressure on the so called mainstream part is to take these environmental issues here personally. and we actually have a green party in the government now in scotland. and it's perfectly apparent that they are taking a much stronger position on such things as scottish oil and gas than the majority today, which is the scottish national party. and i think what i would hope is that the green body in germany will get into coalition, and we'll start putting pressure on german coal use, which of course, is still very high. and that's still importing coal from among other countries. russia. i think that's something that we definitely need to move away from preventable akins. thank you. very ni

the social democratic party now pulls at the moment, actually positioning the green party in. ringback the 3rd position, giving it what the analysts say, a very important role in what happens after the election. and when times come to talk about forming a coalition government. now she is actually the preferred can be the among many of the youth here. she's running in tip, have a country or of renewable energy. and a lot of people here would tell you that she is actually an image of change while they think that the other time that is specially the successor of america. and i'm the head of the cd. you is just trying to fit as best as he can in the shoes of anger. marco it is one place in germany. conservative parties could rely on its here in bavaria. but gail grand hello says that slowly changing in 2014, he became the 1st green mayor of isaac, i think a village near the regional capital munich dissertation model is people who are skeptical about a green part to me or here doesn't really fit. they were watching for what the green party can do in the countryside. and now some pe

the inexperience of the green party candidate were able to make it appear that the green parties somewhat ideologically connected to the left. maybe you can stream left and therefore has been able to frame them within the narrative. so called slide to the far left, germany, sorry to interrupt you them because i do want to bring or recon here. i can see that you're agreeing and i'm curious about how this then pays out on an e you stage because we're obviously looking at a potential coalition government. there's been a lot of speculation about who might actually constitute that government. and i mean, sholtes from the social democrats, even though it's the traditionally left policy, is really been trying to portray himself as more of the central character. did you think that all of this might change the way that germany engages with your? yeah, so actually, i'm not really agreeing with mona in the sense that i think that this idea of a possible flight to the left in germany is not completely out of the question. and so far as we have been discussing the possibility or by, you know, not the

of course, you can't ignore the clout the green party has. they have said that they will only support a coalition if it supports the ending of all exploration for fossil fuel. is that a deal breaker for you or are you open to the talks with the green party >> for the labour party it is very important -- the biggest industry in norway is oil industry it employs about 200,000 people. they are highly educated and important to be able to do the transition into the new green industry we want to double up the oil industry in that way it creates new industries and also climate. our labour government will not accept a set date to quit the oil and gas industry we are quite the labour party and left party and center party. that is the ambition we have the ambition to create the three parties. both double up to oil industry and at the same time be able to do that transition to the new green industry >> the buzz word, obviously, is the transition the new green industry at the end of the day, norway is heavily reliant on oil and gas 40% of the exports do

the green party was 13.9 percent. and then the pre democratic party with $11.00 built in for germany party has gone a 10 and a half percent according to exit polls with the left party only just passing the 5 percent threshold. what does that mean? well, germans on sunday weren't directly choosing a chancellor. they were electing members of the bundle target is they who will then pick a chancellor to lead. what in practice is usually a coalition government hbo to receive 2 valid papers. the 1st was for choosing a candidate in the electro district. there are 20909 such constituencies across germany. the 2nd ballot paper that was 1st selecting a political party with $47.00 of them vying 4 seats only policy su, managed to get 5 percent of the nation wide vote. are able to enter parliament. no single party is expected to secure an absolute majority. meaning coalition towards our inevitable policies correspondence in berlin to oliver breaks down the possible coalition option. it's about as close as thing gets here in german

the green and the liberal party have expressed their interest to have talks with the csu. we are closely in the leading position along with the social democrats. we have a superficial campaign before the 26th of september. the reality of the issues and the challenges ahead of us is coming closer. we will now have to deal and give the answers to the tough challenges in different areas. this is now the game. >> for social democrats are ahead. is there any scenario you can imagine you can see armin laschet become the german chancellor? >> there is no authority to claim in any way that we have to be a part of this government. it will depend on who will find a sufficient agreement in terms of political substance. this is open. there is explicit interest by the green party, by the liberal party, to have talks about this topic with the social democratic party. which is right, it is ahead of us. with the cdu, we will see how far we can get on with this process. >> how reliable and stable is roomy while this process continues? -- how stable is germany while this process continues?

the green party has much to do. who wants to win? dominant, came out his era, pottstown, greece has lost one of its leading classical music figures. composer make use us so the rockies died on thursday in a career spanning decades. he was known for political resistance early on, and grew to personify the modern face of greek music. so the rockies also compose the sound track for the globally, a claim fills, zoar by the greek zed, and circle re challenge. looks back at his life. come on my boy, me its pluck strings and its dance me instantly recognizable and instantly se greece scott meek. if they're the rocket, didn't just sound tracks or but the greek, the movie, found tracked his country to the world and with its countless greek holidays and to the meals. ah. but this musical achievement was just one chapter in theatre offices near century and long life, life entirely, intertwined with greece. his turbulence, post world war to history always are believed with 2 sounds. one political, one musical. he told the new york times in 1970.

and for some green party candidate on lena burbock as the face of the future. she's appealing to a younger generation, fired up by climate change in the need for clean energy, but hard questions in our be asked about her ability to lead the country as dominant cain reports on a late summer day in potsdam anna lena bell book is on the campaign trail focused on trying to win the general election and to become germany. second, female chancellor, above all, proclaiming what the green parties priorities would be in power. when he was the worst, they had all this for the one for ice because they have the biggest challenge for us as a society is the climate change crisis. we can't just talk about it and expect it to somehow go away. you know, this crisis is happening right now and we have to do everything we can to get out of it. but to do that, it's not her ardent supporters. she has to persuade. it said it's the 10s of millions of voters across the country who have never before voted green, some of whom worry about the cost of doing so. best. if you months ago this

the green party in 3rd place. we just have a 14 percent of the vote, i think, to combat climate change to develop the infrastructure. they're also in favor of more immigration and a rise in the minimum wage while also supporting a universal basic income. despite a proving of germany's native membership, they do stand against nuclear weapons. and the greens want tough policies when it comes to russia and china. and something with mentioning there were some polling stations in berlin actually ran out a ballot papers. it said that they weren't able to get deliveries in quick enough because roads have been closed due to the cities annual marathon, which was held on sunday. and la medical's preferred choice in the political race and lush. it also grabbed attention to the polling station when the accident revealed and followed paper to photographers. i need also fill it in already let's bring it maximillian car is a m e p for the alternative for germany party. welcome maximilian. so 1st of all, just 2 days before this e

we then have the green party, as you would imagine, from the green party, the environment and environmental issues right up there in the manifesto. but they also talks about the ideas of a increasing the minimum wage. they also want to get rid of the speed limit on they also bond. they also want to see taxes come in on high earn is and not money being used to provide more cash for children. also for more infrastructure in germany, they haven't performed as well in the interest of the country of they did in the west. what we have seen also is the left party, you know, they had been talks about a, an outside bet for, for me, what's called a red red green coalition. alongside the social democrats. the green party doesn't look likely out the home. and in fact, the left party, a delinquent are fighting for their lives to make not 5 percent threshold in order for them to maintain their seats in the bond. the stock, you've got the people that nobody wants to work with, or at least that's what they've said. nobody will work with the right wing alternative for germany party. they campaigned on very

one of the major forces in this election is the green party. their main goal is to combat climate change and develop infrastructure. they are in favor of more immigration on a rise in the minimum wage. also supporting a universal basic income despite approving of germany's nature membership based on against nuclear weapons on the green's won't suffer policies on russia. china, or europe correspondent peter oliver takes a closer look of the party in the main rivals. with no clear air of power into anglo merkel when it comes to taking over the chancellor's office, just behind me, the only real guarantees we have heading into this election when it comes to who will be the next leader of germany, is that it won't be the woman who's headed up the country's government for the best part of the last 16 years. realistically, the next chancellor of germany will be one of these 3 people. each of them, lo, comes with their own issues. the outsider for the top job is green party candidate annalee in a bad book. back in the summer, her policy will polling at

the outsider for the top job is green party candidate annalee in a bad book. back in the summer, her policy will polling at the heavy heights of 22 percent. right now they've been pegged back to closer to the mid teams while there's been no major campaign mistakes. a lot of it's been put down to a general feeling of a lack of experience when it comes to senior political jobs and some questions over the figures that ms. bad book has used when it comes to putting forward the green parties. environmental policies. by the year 2100, the sea level will rise by 7 meters. the sea level will continue to rise for centuries. it could reach around $30.00 to $60.00 centimeters by 2100 even if greenhouse gas emissions sharply reduced. and global warming is limited to well below 2 degrees celsius. then she managed to find a cell for the very german political scandal involving her copying a number of paragraphs into her new book without proper attribution. i take the chris hidden seriously, looking back, it would certainly have been better if i had worked with a list of refe

the green alternative isn't a rich party. they're not supported by any big businesses or corporations. they're saying that they don't want to receive cash from those who are causing harm to the environment. now i can tell you that when they were asked about whether they're ready to build some kind of aligns as with other political movements, the answer from them was no because they don't see this possible given their goals . and given what vase down for security in terms of ideology, we are of course, close to parties on the left. but in general, ideology, in reality, i don't think compromises with the other parties are possible because it's again going to face a generation gap once again where the youngest party, where the voice of the generation that is not being heard, officials start carrying about young people only before their retirement, their understanding of how to work with young people comes from their childhood and legs 40 years behind. ready well, on the one hand, these words that they represent the younger gener

both parties are still comfortably ahead of the greens. all three parties have hopes of getting into government. they held large-scale rallies friday as they made their final pitch to voters. >> it is the final sprint for the finish line as germany's political parties try to scoop up the support of any remaining undecided voters. social democrats candidate and leader in the polls own off schulz -- olaf sholz. >> addressing supporters from both parts of the conservative bloc, he sounded confident of victory. >> cdu and csu want to do everything in our power in the next few years to create a good germany, a good europe, and a better word -- world. that is why we ask for your trust and i ask for your confidence in becoming the next federal chancellor of germany. >> the green party dropped back in the polls. at her final campaign event in dusseldorf, she stressed her parties environmental focus that said the tone of any coalition government of which -- could set the tone of any coalition government of which the greens are a part. >> to the spd

the green party is widely expected to play kingmaker. it's achieved the best result in the history coming in 3rd, with nearly 15 percent. its liter analynn, a bad book said addressing the climate crisis should be the basis of any coalition talks. step boston reports from berlin, and he was welcome for a man whose hoping to become germany's next leader. isn't i no talk bob peptide, the vice move on to get? we were a pragmatic party that knows how to govern. we're confident policy that wants to work to ensure that we have a base of future in germany. but we've also showing that we have what it takes to govern a country that is unity supported by everyone. and that this was the case. i would like to thank you for that. for me to read off the done, on the la moguls last minute efforts to attract support for the conservative christian democratic candidate. enlarge. it seemed to fade off after like last star to the campaign to see to you and it's bavarian sister party ended up in a fight weights. we chose his social democrats. i should say, he

, the green party wouldn't give it support to the social democrats. but the liberal democrats would prefer to have the center, right, the christian democrats of lashes. so it's going to be very tough dogs. now what we heard is that probably the greens and the liberal democrats was 1st told big oceans together and then try to reach some sort of compromise and then have the further talks with probably 1st, if we look at the election result, the 1st step should go to all of scholes. but that's not necessarily written into books, but that's what should happen. otherwise they would try to have tools with this center right with admin lashley. now this wouldn't be the 1st time in german history that the 2nd one or a d n. after the correlation negotiation manages a to for my allusion and gets that both the cancer, this happens as read times before. so really the race is still wide open here. anything could happen at this. and if we look at the passage, this is going to, this is a pros, the probably going to last weeks, maybe months, even though everyone is sa

ros: can i also ask you about the green results? imknow that the green party has been celebrating. it's one of the best results you've had in a german election but given the profirst time of climate change and that that is is the single biggest issue for your party, are you disappointed that more voters didn't choose you? >> it is the best result in our party's history but it is also clear that we were fighting for more, hoping for me -- more and we have to understand and analyze in the next weekshy we couldn't convince the voters that it is us that really stands for a new type of politics that actually, we're now in a really good position, it's very likely that we're part of the new government and that we can shame germany's future. ros: that's brought you up to date on germany's election. let's go back to the becomes newsroom in london. we have some breaking news here on outdoor source. >> yes, you're absolutely right. ros. thanks to you and the team in berlin. details now that a u.s. jury man giving its verdict in the case against the r&b singer r. kelly. the jury has so far fou
