YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWe start with breaking news from here in Germany, where Chancellor Olaf Scholz has lost a vote of confidence in parliament.
Scholz won the support of only 207 lawmakers -- far short of the majority needed to win.

It paves the wave for snap elections in February.
