12:02 pm
through the night last night but fair to get wasn't enough for formal coalition talks to begin. now if the parties remain unable to form to start formal talks germany could end up holding new elections shows that he says she's determined not to let that happen have a listen. to this. it's not easy we realized yesterday we have addressed many issues in exploratory talks and gone into tremendous detail it's no small task to tie up all the loose ends despite all the difficulties in these negotiations i'm determined to form a government as mandated by germany's voters. definitely won't be easy it's all definitely behind but it's worth going into a second round of talks. between our drawn up little correspondent rupert redivide he's at the chancellor johns there's a c.d.o.
12:03 pm
headquarters party. headquarters in berlin rupert what issues need to be resolved for these talks to move forward first of all. well i think the main issue that the parties have to agree on of course is the migration issue last night the negotiations went on for fifteen hours and from this fifteen hours twelve hours were taken up only by this one issue on to right now the party officials are arriving here at the c.d.u. had quarters in berlin and what we hear from them and that's the statement it's quite interesting to see the hue officials they all try to be like the ones who who who are likely the moderators of the of these these talks while these small parties especially the greens and the c's you they are playing some sort of a blame game telling us that it's it's always the other party that is not willing to compromise that. the compromise would be needed that each one has to. accept the
12:04 pm
willingness of the accept the need for compromise but that no one is really willing to do so so it seems to be a gridlock here especially in between the smaller parties. on the party starting to lose faith in the idea of this a four way coalition but. it sounds a little bit like this and we also have to understand that some of the smaller parties have their own issues to solve especially the little sister party of angela merkel c.d.u. the see as you from the very a this is a very small regional party from the south in germany it's more conservative than the c.d.u. of anglo american they believe that they need to take a hard stance on refugee policy they are against for instance family reunion of refugees because they fear to lose their majority in in bavaria next year and they seem to be willing to do everything to present themselves as really hard and really taking
12:05 pm
a stand and even to risk that these talks here are failing the greens on the other side they have to sell the outcome of this to their membership at the end of next week and the membership of the greens is the rather left membership and. i would say radical but it's far more left than anything else here in the doing in these parties and they have to accept whatever the negotiating is so this is a very very far apart from each other and this makes things so complicated and so one deadline has come and gone what's the timeline now. well there's no real timeline but what we have heard so far is that all officials are expecting to be sitting here in the studio headquarters for at least the weekend even longer and what we also have to see is that like the next big deadline probably is the party convention of the greens in which they wanted to sell the.
12:06 pm
result of these negotiations to their membership and this party convention is scheduled for next saturday the twenty fifth of november. until then they have to reach some sort of agreement but then on the other side awful also have to say every party convention could be rescheduled so i think we have but there's a very long and very hard deadline we don't have anymore and briefly rupert if these talks break down does that mean new elections here in germany. or if they really fail yes that would be in the end the outcome but all officials here already said and they have been repeatedly saying this failure is not an option they all know if new elections would come no one would really benefit of it at least not the parties which are involved in these negotiations the only one that would benefit is the far right party a d. the alternative for germany and this is something that all fear here. but if you

supporters of kenyan opposition leader raila odinga and police have clashed outside the capital nairobi police fired tear gas into the crowds of demonstrators angry about the result of the presidential election which saw the incumbent president who can be outer rain with ninety eight percent of the vote the poll was marred by low turnout and claims of voter intimidation. zimbabwe's president robert mugabe has appeared in public for the first time since the military took power on wednesday he attended a university graduation ceremony and this comes as the army said it was making progress in persuading him to resign officers also moved into arrest and number of mugabe's allies mugabe who is ninety three years old has been held under house arrest by the military since what they've been calling an intervention. joining me now from harare is human rights activist
12:09 pm
a dog what is your ancestor and rid of president mugabe step down or will he be pushed out. that there really is is the question on everyone's tongues here seeing that that yesterday a deal had been struck but but now it seems that the government is backtracking on that he does have a huge trump card. even that he's pushed out that will huge the undermine the legitimacy of this government process and so as someone who is desperate to cling to power as we've seen over the last thirty seven years i don't think he's going to give up power very easy so it may may come to be stopped or it may end up being a failed coup. and douglas how wanted are you as a human rights activist about this military intervention given that this until recently supported mugabe's regime which has been accused of huge human rights
12:10 pm
violations in the past. absolutely the major concerns that we have been encouraged by. the explicit statements made by the military that that they are here to respect people's rights and certainly their conduct has has has matched that as well in general they have been quite peaceful apart from some scuffles with some some some violence involving. zanu p.f. politicians so. that has been encouraging but there are major concerns around us and i think. there are concerns as well from a political perspective that this could just simply be an internal settlement with then zanu p.f. that results in you of their intent regime with with nothing much more than a baseless now been one doc the fact vice president has

a return to harare the opposition media morgan chang and i is also back one of the chances then off to some kind of a transitional government being formed. i think that a transitional government is is is really essential it is really early way out for us now. the wheels of transition have begun in motion now and as i say that this is this transitional this transition will not be sustainable if it's merely an internal zanu p.f. solution and it will not have any legitimacy. in the eyes of zimbabweans or in the eyes of the international community if it if it's not a real transition towards democratic consolidation where real reforms that implemented so that we can have free and fair elections so i think that that that a transitional authority is essential i think that the military i'm going to go but probably understand that because they have
12:12 pm

under pressure due to dortmund certainly decline from the top of the table to third their last win in the league came back in september. on the ice that money could enter you know if you don't win the obvious question and. if you want to call that opposing wins then yes we feel the breeze that's for sure. and over the last three weeks the winds change quickly in the post office after the last international break the first match against leipzig and that's when it began as well and we definitely fail. that's not for me that's the challenge to once again turn it around. and i'm sure we'll manage when does mean the shelf. friday night could be perfect timing for dortmund to turn it around history is on their side the black and yellow won the last five matches in stuttgart but stuttgart is not a cakewalk especially when playing at home this season so far they're undefeated.
