just put this person to death for example let's send him to guantanamo bay which of course has been used for supposed terrorists since two thousand and two none of this is very well thought out in terms of what you practically do in response to this attack but trump both because i think he believes that and also because i think that people use it all mobilize his supporters this is when he goes on the offensive of course this support does go to argue that trump's tweets in some of the things he said were an angry spontaneous reaction but to what extent do you think trump will actually change policy as he's said it is a fuss tweets well first of all when you call for leadership from the president you don't call for anger or spontaneity you call for a very considered reflection about what has happened and what should be done in terms of what he's proposed you will not get rid of the diversity visa program because that is a congressional decision it is congress which has kept that program going for twenty seven years and they will consider it he will not get his muslim ban at

12:07 pm
a criminal justice system it's the type of division that was called out for in on a couple weeks ago by former presidents bush and obama when they said this is politically damaging the united states but instead of changing his language trying to simply just reinforcing that and so we wonder if this attack in new york city will have more political casualties in the days and weeks to come scott lucas a professor of american studies in the university of wyoming and thank you very much for that analysis. thank you. we not some breaking news coming in the northern german city of breman police are reporting a shooting in a supermarket this is one man has been seriously hurt the gunman is reported to be on the run but police say there is no immediate danger to the public no motive for the attack has been revealed that's all we have at the moment but of course we bring you more news on this incident as soon as we have it this article look at some other stories making news around the world police in the u.s.

and extradition to spain if you feel is to appear so. you some german politics now where a month after parliamentary elections the country is still awaiting a new government unless conservative c.d.u. the business friendly f.t.p. and the pro environment green party i think exploring the formation of what would be a rather unusual governing coalition the bodies have been examining a raft of contentious issues and the differences between them among them are huge on migration the conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. wants an upper limit on refugee numbers which the greens of course they want to allow nearly all refugees to car for exams to be joined by family members on climate the parties are split on how to reduce german emissions the greens of want to shut down twenty cool fired power plants but that's opposed both why the c.d.u. c.s.u. and the f.t.p. turning then to agriculture conservatives and the f.t.

against the greens call for ending industrial farming the greens want to freeze within twenty years and a greater emphasis put on organic farming and finally defense on the greens are alone in opposing greater military spending the conservative and the liberal f.t.p. want to increase a boon despairs budget in line with nato targets that we are drawing up political correspondent simon junk was following those talks for us simons as we can hear on for critical issues the differences are huge could they in fact affect the forming of a new government. well indeed they could and rita and all the parties here at these exploratory talks are saying that this is going to be very difficult to put this coalition together but they're also all saying at the moment that they believe that it can be done and as you say these are not just details

12:13 pm
particular party which is refusing to make the compromises needed for a coalition of this guy and. well i think it's all the parties have their have their sort of red lines and their positions that as i say are part of their philosophy for the greens of course it's their commitment to addressing the question of climate change and as they say it's necessary to end coal fired electricity generation for that but the other part is equally have their sticking points don't forget all these parties have just fought an election campaign with very different platforms against each other that's why it's difficult for them to come together and the that what they've got to do is not just divide up the ministries it's not just the greens will have this ministry in the f.d.p. will have the other ministry they've got to form a coalition government are going to greenmount that can last as the basis for government policy for the next four years going forward that's why it's so
12:14 pm
