insights from a leading c.d.u. politician also coming up. a stalemate between zimbabwe's army and president mugabe they want him to resign and now the generals are saying they're arresting mugabe's allies as his own party prepares to kick him out. i'm brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show can germany put together a new government talks between all the macros conservatives the free democrats and the greens to do so went into the very early hours of this morning but disagreements over key policies saw them miss a deadline to thrash out a deal if they do not come up with one germany will be facing new elections. after a long night tired faces germany's chancellor angela merkel needs the parties in the coalition negotiations to strike

a deal but her christian democrats existe party the c.s.u. the greens and the free democrats found to agree during talks that lasted into the early hours of friday morning. certainly we still have some differing opinions especially about immigration and financial policy. we've decided to use the next few days to overcome these remaining differences. and we do believe that they can be overcome. merkel had said thursday night as a deadline for agreeing on the coalition conditions now politicians say they need to extend these deadlines and continue talks over the weekend. we still believe that it's worthwhile directing all our energy to finding a solution that's good for our country but we have also realized that it's difficult. because negotiators have been hunting for an agreement for

a month now with these coalition untested at the federal level it seems there are more sticking points than expectant as this is nothing is agreed nothing's been decided talks will continue failure to reach agreement could result in snap elections negotiations on all fronts are expected to resume on friday afternoon. we're joined now by going to senior member of chancellor merkel c.d.u. in the deputy interior minister thanks so much for being with us this morning. what is your assessment how much room is there right now for a compromise on key issues especially on migration. migration certainly is not the only but the most difficult question that has to be solved and i think we need a few days maybe and it's also very first in the sense of how this whole thing is conducted how the format of the procedure is we have so-called expert tory talks

now so we're not really into the into the real thing the real negotiation on the coalition so i think also this format contributes to the confusion a little bit that the negotiators don't know how far and how detailed they have to come out with a solution until the real negotiations and into full form can start so these are certainly times where we have to watch what happens in the next in the next days it's difficult but i think that still a good chance that it will work ok where we're hearing from sources that it is a family family reunification bringing over the families for example from syria to join refugees currently in germany are you hearing that that is what's holding everything up. isn't that probably the most important not the only point of of conflict in this in these talks because you know what we have to achieve and have to have to look for in germany is that we have to get to the to the average of what european countries do with refugees how they treat them how they able to meet

with a family reunion almost all the countries of the european union only allow a family reunion for geneva convention refugees refugees except under geneva convention we ought to do this but in the last years we went a little bit further and that's certainly a very attractive points too for refugees to come especially to germany and that's something that we have to change and that's why it's also so difficult to reach an agreement you. can you fill us in on the timeline right now when does a deal need to be in place is going to be at the end of the weekend or will it be extended past that. you know there's certainly a constitutional timeline or constitutional possibilities and options and political options constitutionally there's not really we're not really in a hurry we have time there's not a set limit. negotiation could go on theoretically for months but of course politically the people in germany expect a solution so i think that's great pressure that at least. let's say and that while ten days the real negotiations start and also

a lot of pressure that they hopefully then finalized before christmas that's still a few weeks a few weeks to go and i'm still half way up to mystic that we can that we can do this but certainly there's a lot of work to do until that ok certainly reassuring to hear about the optimism but what about a plan b. what what happens if these talks don't achieve results. it only i don't think it makes much sense to talk about b. of course we as christian recruits were always ready to roll to talk with the second biggest party in the parliament even though they're much smaller no than they used to be the social democrats the social democrats have so far always said no we're not even willing to enter into explanatory talks with the christian democrats it depends whether this position will still extend but you know i don't think it's no necessary to talk about a plane be we still are working very actively to make the plane a work ok mle see how those negotiations go this weekend going to senior member of
