1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: Devin Greiz that you can. You're correspondent, Gevin. What's happening 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 1: with the elections in Germany. 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,840 Speaker 2: Well, it's certainly going to be pretty exciting. According to 4 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 2: projections now, it looks like the far right Alternative for 5 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,440 Speaker 2: Deutschland is set to win nearly a third of the vote, 6 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 2: coming up to thirty one percent of the vote in 7 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 2: a projection for the public broadcast to ard. That is 8 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,640 Speaker 2: six points ahead of the Conservative CDU party. And if 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: you look at the three governing parties in the coalition, 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 2: they are well behind those two parties, and if confirmed, 11 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 2: it would give the far right its first vote win 12 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 2: in a state parliament since World War II and the Nazis. However, 13 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: it's unlikely to be able to form a government in 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 2: the state of Thuringia because other parties are refusing to 15 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: have anything to do with the Alternative for Deutschland. Five 16 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: million Germans are eligible vote in the two state elections. 17 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: The Alternative for Deutschland is also close behind the Conservative 18 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: CDU in the election for the state parliament in Saxony. 19 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 2: There we're getting a slightly improved rating for the CDU 20 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 2: and the Alternative for Deutschman again polling at thirty point 21 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: four percent, and the other three governing parties well down 22 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 2: on that as well. Why will we've had the knifing 23 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 2: has reported a couple of weeks back or a week 24 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 2: or so back now, and that was by a Syrian 25 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 2: asylum seeker. And I think basically immigration has played a 26 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 2: huge part in these two elections. And there's another election 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 2: coming up in a couple of weeks in the state 28 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: of Brandenburg. 29 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 1: All Right, given the key we skipper of the Basi 30 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: and the yacht that sank in near Sicily.

The 33 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 2: most recent interview has been given by Matthew Griffiths, and 34 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 2: he was a crew member of that yacht. You're a 35 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 2: member that seven people died, including sorry, seven people died 36 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: in the British tech tycoon Mike Lynch in that luxury 37 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 2: yacht sinking off the Sicilian port of Porticello back on 38 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 2: August the nineteenth.

He said, I quote I woke 42 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 2: up the captain when the wind was twenty knots that's 43 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 2: roughly thirty seven kmph Ryan, and he gave the orders 44 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: to wake everyone else up. The ship then tilted and 45 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 2: we were thrown into the water. We managed to get 46 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: back up on and then tried to rescue those we could. 47 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: He said, we were walking on the walls of the 48 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: boat and basically we did try and save everyone, and 49 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 2: there were fifteen survivors.
