likely to see sparks fly i think we are likely to see sparks fly and they're important because in order to start coalition talks with the other potential partners in in a coalition the chancellor first test to achieve some kind of unity between her own party and its bavarian sister party the christian social union and these two parties are essentially umbilically joined they're often referred to as sister parties but the fact is they differ very deeply on issues such as immigration and the head of that very and sister party essentially now has his back to the wall many people view him as politically vulnerable because the party got fairly weak results in the recent election therefore he's under pressure to try to essentially affirm his own very conservative position but he's facing a chancellor who quite well will object to that so i think very tough talks today and yet no other talks with any other potential partners can go ahead until these

two parties are in agreement right and some of his want to move further to the right in order to win back some support for people who chose to then vote for the a.f.p. the question is will she well indeed we are told that the head of the bavarian party has to say hope for is arriving with a ten point plan and amongst these ten points are the absolutely key issue for him namely an upper limit on immigration now the chancellor has said in the past that's a no go for her she is not going to agree to such a thing other members of her party have suggested that perhaps it could be solved semantically by for example agreeing on some kind of flexible cap that isn't called an upper limit but i think certainly as i say with a vulnerable head of the bavarian party and the chancellor having gone on the line is saying she will not. greta such a thing his work is likely to be difficult and if you look at polls in general around half of germans say the c.d.u. needs to stay right where it is and shouldn't move to the right and that includes

members of the party itself so again i think his ability to convince her will be limited briefly two weeks now since the german election put us out of our misery when can we expect a new government quite possibly not even before the end of the year we are waiting for a very important local elections in the state of lower saxony after that this bavarian c.s.u. will have their own party conference that's not till mid november many people say nothing will happen till after that and that means it could be january or later chief political correspondent melinda crane thank you very much. just force now and for me one the japanese grown prey has provided the setting for a crucial showdown between lewis hamilton and sebastian fattah and hamilton started the race thirty four points ahead of faca and with just four races left after this weekend's action the ferrari driver needed a big performance to have a chance of regaining his title. the locals gave sebastian circle

a warm welcome on race day and another german world champion footballer lukas podolski was on hand to offer his support to me but fertile knew the odds were against him his main title rival lewis hamilton started the race in pole position the messages man wasn't giving any ground holding his lead through the first corner . and it wasn't long before disaster struck for federal. power. in just the fourth lap his ferrari suffered engine problems bringing his race to a premier to end the hammer blow to his diminishing title hopes hamilton took full advantage the british driver overcame technical difficulties of his own to take the victory his fourth when it says zucker and his fourth win in the last five races this season. much fresh up and finished in second to follow up his win last weekend but yet again the day belonged to hamilton only

a string of catastrophes can stop his title charge now. to win his league or football now more bad news for an already deflated by munich goalkeeper manuel neuer told the club's t.v. station that his comeback could be delayed by another two months keeping him out until march of next year the german international is recovering from foot surgery office and injury in september and his absence complicates matters somewhat for bind who've struggled for form in recent weeks. gemini face of eyes on this evening into the last world cup qualification game ahead of next year's tournament and the team has already booked its place at russia twenty nine off to twenty eighteen rather off an impressive campaign that seen the win nine of them matches so far with qualification to show the less established players the fighting hard for a spot in the star studded squad. mission accomplished now that germany has

establish myself in my position. and also this time getting his ticket to the world cup but competition is huge at the confederations cup other players also impressed they too are hoping to get a shot here and give the more established world cup winning players a run for their money. everybody's got the back of their mind and of course they want to put in good performances to improve their chances doesn't matter whether it's in this month. or in the other games you play you always get an opportunity to show yourself and to get yourself in shape for the tournament. meanwhile germany coach who live wants his players to stay healthy the season so that fans in russia will truly be able to see the best twenty three players germany has to offer. evidence come in all shapes and sizes and these ones will gracing the skies of new mexico on a saturday as the albuquerque international balloon fest got underway well some of the balloons on show were anything but traditional they included a baby in
