know that refugees are very concerned about that what can the international community really do in terms of pressuring. some sort of process to call. the issue of these alleged atrocities to be committed to charge me and i think the international community should do more to pressure that if we've all heard never again and if these people who we know. have committed some of you know somebody has to be held accountable and somebody needs to see that these people are held accountable with respect to the a different here can the international community do to better help bangladesh this is not going away in the near future is at this question what i've seen so far with just a few days of rain or even a half a day of rain we will be witnessing landslides and we may see more casualties

the e.u. by a clear but not necessarily large majority martin schulze now has the authority to enter formal negotiations with anglo-american the platform slogans proclaimed a new time needs a new politics but on offer was much of the same old government in a wide ranging speech should spelt out why another coalition with merkel was the best option. believe me this hasn't been easy for anyone but i never doubted for a moment that we should follow the play of the president as a way out of this difficult political situation as a social democrat is my firm conviction that in this exceptional situation we must at least try to provide the best possible outcome for the people of germany and the europe. but many in the hall and in the wider party did not agree perhaps the most vocal opposition came from the party's youth movement lloyd has been absolutely i'm sure people negotiated well it's a reason i and many of those in an outside this room is not happy with the results

it's not because they did bad work but because after twelve years of anger and eight years of grand coalition we no longer have the same views on resultant issues this conference is opens up some very clear divisions inside this party between the party leadership and the rank and file between those prepared to compromise and those who aren't and between the younger generation and the older one some analysts believe the current leader has to bear responsibility for what we see it is that he is bearing the support thought market choice and not just as clearly he is. not a part of the future i would say i would actually you can call him a yesterday's man as of today and yet as of tomorrow schultz will be the leader who takes his divided party formally into negotiations with the christian democrats but the final deal which then emerges must be passed by a ballot of the entire party membership and if sunday's vote is anything to go by
