Scholz loses confidence vote triggering snap general election for Germany - DW News [View all]
We 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. He had been expected to lose the vote after his three-party coalition collapsed in early November, when he fired his finance minister in a dispute over how to revitalize Germany's stagnant economy. It paves the wave for snap elections in February.
