8:01 am
political crisis president robert mugabe defies pressure from his party to step down his opponents are now threatening protests and impeachment. and foreign ministers from asia and europe meet in myanmar they're expected to pressure of myanmar leader aung san suu cheat on the file it's against hinge of most. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us exploratory talks on forming a new coalition government here in germany have collapsed the business friendly f.t.p. bailed out of negotiations saying it failed to find common ground on key issues with chancellor going to ackles conservative alliance and the greens maclin out she would talk with the german president later today it's not clear exactly what they
8:02 am
will discuss one option is to call fresh elections to talk about that in just a moment but first here's how the night of negotiations played out. it was for a climax of a coalition talks the head of the free democrat sleeze for building to make an announcement he said his party was pulling out of the negotiations. younger ones were gone we were being forced to cast away our principles and everything that we've fought for over the years. and we will not let down our voters by standing behind policies of which we're not at all convinced. it's it's better not to govern than to govern badly that would be. good by. probably doesn't . there was no immediate confirmation that the talks had collapsed for some time the other party chiefs remained inside and then they came out to face the cameras
8:03 am
led by chancellor angela merkel. she confirmed for talks had indeed collapsed she expressed regret and was open about the difficulties she encountered by we've seen and heard a lot during these tell. there were very different styles of negotiating. in all sympathy the greens to some getting used to the free democrats resolute. but we believe that we were on the right path to securing an agreement. i think. there was disappointment over what some felt could've been and already some finger pointing. the co-head of the greens placed the blame for the failure squarely at the feet of the free democrats yvonne's duties we were open to an understanding up until the last second we were prepared to go the extra mile when
8:04 am
it didn't seem possible to go any further but the other parties have to be prepared to do the same and this evening one wasn't. the collapse of the talks now puts merkel in a difficult position she could try to form a minority government if those attempts failed new elections may be the only way out of a deadlock. here discuss all this is our political correspondent christopher spring day to christopher when i woke up this morning i wasn't expecting to hear this it's a bit of a surprise coalition talks have collapse what does this mean for a chance like. well it's she's in a tough position it means that the possibly the only coalition constellation of vailable to. have talks on that constellation of collapsed the social democrats her current partner in the outgoing government they've said they're not available for a coalition so. options. reducing cost now the
8:05 am
f.t.p. are the ones who said no we can't find an agreement we're not going to go forward with there's not enough common ground how much of it is of a surprise is it that they were the ones who said no we're not going along it is a bit unexpected although there has been speculation that the pro-business liberals . might be the ones to to abandon the prospect of this so-called jamaican coalition . i think one has to realise that this party has spent the last four years outside of parliament not only outside of government but outside of parliament christian lintner their young leader is rebuilding the party and there was always a suggestion he was a little a little bit worried about making the jump straight from being outside of parliament straight into government so there has been speculation that this kind of thing would happen now the free democrats said that no deal was possible in this
8:06 am
current government you have got some very different political ideological views represented in those parties that we're talking trying to come up with a basis for forming a government was the idea of forming a government with these parties with this constellation not just wishful thinking from the beginning it's certainly. a constellation that brings together parties from opposite sides of the political spectrum and you have the environmentalists greens who sent a left but also some some quite strongly left wing elements within the party and then you have obviously chancellor merkel as conservatives some quite right wing elements there and christian liberals who have that's a party that has gone further to the right both the greens and the liberals before the election or during the election campaign said they lacked the imagination to
8:07 am
see how a jamaica coalition could come together but we're in a different world these days the broad church is the big parties like the conservatives like the social democrats are losing support and politicians not only in germany but across europe are having to get used to more complicated constellations and jim and that also means. their will to compromise the will to to compromise on things that they didn't compromise in the past and a lot at stake here the big question of course is what happens next let's take a look at some of the options available. now that the coalition talks have collapsed german president frank steinmeyer could have to step in the german president could nominate angle americal as chancellor since her party has the most seats in parliament parliamentarians would then vote on whether they want her as
8:08 am
chancellor president steinmeyer would then have two options he could appoint americal the head of a minority government in that case she would have to constantly look for allies to make a majority or the president could dissolve parliament and call new elections in two months. ok so those are a couple of options there fresh elections or minority government possibly led by chancellor machall as those all the options christopher well we'll have to see what happens when chancellor merkel meets. germany's president frank. later today who is by by the way a social democrat and he appealed at the weekend to all of germany's parties to think about their responsibility not only to party but also to the country so some people would seeing that as a hint to his own social democrats that they may need to come to the table. and one
8:09 am
of the grand coalition of the third option absolutely that is the outgoing constellation and the social democrats got just over twenty percent they were they were humiliated at the postelection and they desperately want to go into authorization and renew themselves but i think it's quite possible that chancellor merkel will invite them to coalition talks and then it will be quite difficult for them to say no they say that unavailable but they may find themselves within a in a position where they will have to say no to chancellor merkel and stand there as a party not willing to take on national responsibility if you want a time of great uncertainty in germany christopher spring guide from our political desk thank you so much welcome. well there's uncertainty in zimbabwe to fight mounting pressure from the army and his own party to step down.
8:10 am
zimbabwe's long time president robert mugabe addressed the nation for the first time after being sacked as zanu p.f. party leader his expected resignation was not forthcoming merely an acknowledgment that mistakes had been made. the president of zimbabwe and as. chief do acknowledge the issues they have drawn my attention to and do believe that these were raised in this spirit of honesty and out of deep and that tree are to. for this. nation and for the welfare of our people not only did mcgarvie not announce his resignation as expected he further pledged to preside over the upcoming zanu p.f. party congress a clear slap in the face to his own party who had given him twenty four hours to
8:11 am
resign or be impeached. zimbabwe's main opposition leader morgan tsvangirai said he was baffled by his failure to step down as were many ordinary citizens. all this week to these rigs next and. despite everything that he has done to be with dignity and to just walk away. and we just. do that try to be so stubborn. with the confusion following mugabe's speech the way forward for zimbabwe suddenly seems unclear. let's get the latest now from harare we're joined there by journalist ray in global trade president mugabe has not resigned the presidency what is he actually doing does he think he can still hold on. yes thank you for having me i think that's the
8:12 am
indication that we got yesterday from speech which he gave to the nation where he primarily still believes that he's in charge of charge of the country he's in charge of fees ruling parties on the p.f. it's either. that exposes the depth of how out of touch ease with the reality that he is isolated not only politically because under pm rejected him as the party leader and socially we saw in march he's being rolled out across principly as well within so this is a man who seems to be very much in denial or doesn't know exactly what is happening and the extent of developments around you. stay with us for a moment we're going to listen to an excerpt from president mugabe's speech in which he talks about what he describes as the way forward. for what nice
8:13 am
cannot be based on swapping vying pleats that dry the rough short of a party rules and procedures there has to be net region today guiding principles of our party as enshrined in nice constitution. we must have brian fairly and equitably you know. situations and before all nameless president mugabe they're saying that it must respect party principles and procedure is he implying that the approaching exam no p f congress is going to decide his fate well he is principle implying that.
8:14 am
expects to take charge of the process of deciding who is the person that will lead the party but of course this is again defying reality on the ground that he's been rejected by the party and he's trying to apply a procedural approach to say we will rather prefer. following the guidelines of the party and following the rules as opposed to opposing vying creaks because we do know that there are factions within and indications at the moment is that this faction which was principally aligned to use wife really has been pushed out and put out and now is attempting you know last minute attempt to appeal to the use of processes and guidelines to address the difficulties of the ins on the p.f. and wondered see it as a lost cause at this point when many are very happy to see that the processes are
8:15 am
being followed by a peaceful process or so far this crisis has not been accompanied by massive unrest do you think it's going to remain peaceful. well i think it depends primarily with what president gaba does i think that yesterday's statement which he shoot is in opting out of the stakes and it did not only to zanu p.f. but to the people of zimbabwe which came out in their numbers on on saturday to ask him and send a message that he should step down but his refusal and his defiance that he displayed yesterday's a day to the people and it did to the party and of course they will be a couple of statements that we expect him to be coming out of harvard today the military has a statement this morning at the war veterans as well as a statement that you shooting this morning primarily which is going to be a response to the president so i think those will give a very strong indication to the ordinary people on what needs to be done but people
8:16 am
are saying look whatever needs to be done later to be done but they're still allowing and following that you process is just because there is a parliamentary process which is expected to kick off today to impeach him and that is still being given an opportunity to take place journalists right in globe joining us there from harare zimbabwe thank you very much for that update thank you well it's a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today charles manson the us cult leader behind the killing spree in the one nine hundred sixty s. in california has died at the age of eighty three manson died of natural causes in a california prison he had been serving multiple life sentences for orchestrating the murder of actress sharon tate and six others in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine. conservative billionaire businessman sebastiaan piniella has won the first round of chile's presidential election but he did not secure enough votes to avoid
8:17 am
a runoff election in december and the other is due to face time left as kind of a hundred in the rubble. or a violent street protests in haiti's capital port au prince over the remobilization of the army eighty's president officially reinstated the military on saturday more than two decades after it was disbanded the move comes a month after the end of the thirteen year long un peacekeeping mission. you're watching t.w. news still to come what now for hundreds of thousands of raw hinge refugees who fled the violence in myanmar germany's foreign minister visits a refugee camp in bangladesh ahead of a major crisis me. but first a cyber crime with victims around the world christiane has more.
8:18 am
rights and we want you. to silicone and a three d. printer vietnamese scientists say that's all it takes to fool the facial recognition software is new i phone ten it may have taken the specialists a few days to devise the hack but the implication is clear. it's not easy for normal people to do and we do hear still a concern in the security sector and important people like politicians or heads of corporations. accessing the smartphones of business and political leaders through facial recognition hacks poses yet another threat to internet security official estimates suggest the economic damage from cyber crime already totals two hundred sixty five billion euros a year within europe alone in september european commission president john claude
8:19 am
younger said cyber attacks pose an existential threat to e.u. members. he told the e.u. parliament there are more dangerous to the stability of democracy and economies guns and tanks. cyber crime is such a pernicious threat because it operates across national borders dealing with it successfully requires an effort that is just as international. for some more insight i'm joined by he's the executive director of the european agency for the network and information security order good to have you on the program researchers say that companies spent over seventy billion dollars on cyber security last year that's about a fourth of the german federal budget still we have elections being meddled with data being stolen computer systems compromised how's that with all that money being spent we're still falling victim to cyber attacks moaning it's like every day's
8:20 am
live you have chances and risk of technologies so you have to do prevention and prevention costs money so but apparently seventy billion is not not enough that are being spent there and what we have an emergent technology look the internet is just fifteen twenty years old and if you look back with planes and cons you invest a look in safety and security and this is where everyone has to look into his own business his own privacy his home and see that it's secured and that it's safe what would have happened if this money hadn't been spent as and he would have seen mark crime more breakdowns and other things so things are still growing security but he still have challenges now they want to try virus to take over two hundred thousand systems earlier this year demanding ransom if victims one of their computer unlocked is this the most popular form of cyber attacks basically freezing somebody computer screen and demanding money it's commonly something would be seized this
8:21 am
means run somewhere rising but on the other hand is a lie because that crime moves from the real divided into the side of a boat in the past to use a gun to rob a bank today unit used p.c. all over the world now one of the most advanced and sophisticated attacks that you're dealing with kirk where we have in europe a good cooperation between the member states and the european level so what we see is that we still have but now it's. you saw it last year was in me and i but didn't which takes us to an intent of things where we connect everything so i think we have to seeing where we have the biggest risk analysis and you mentioned there's collaboration between european nations on cyber security what exactly does that look like while we have passed the network information security directive last year where we have more information exchange between the member states and these are runs a secretary of the so-called seas computer emergency response teams of the member states will exchange information so this exchanges as this as this actually prevent
8:22 am
it some of the attacks or worse the success that you see there by the question is well as then the success and where did prevention so what you can see was cooperation you can respond to incidents better and was putting resources into it you can give warnings also to citizens and governments and industry and during the want to cry attack and may victims have to pay ransom in bitcoin not tell me what role does this crypto currency play when it comes to cyber crime i think a bit you can compared with let's say cash in our real lives because bitcoins is and then you can use it between you and me saying it's a great successful economy or to handle iced executive director of the european agency for network and information security thank you so much for your visit here and this you think you have been invited london is set to lose two of the european union's most important agencies following britain's de cision to leave the
8:23 am
european union the european medicines agency and the european banking agency will now move to other destinations but it's up to the e.u.'s remaining twenty seven members to vote on who exactly lands a bricks and windfall. their film of europe's most glamorous that the nation but this isn't about choosing your next holiday these are just some of the cities battling it out for two highly prestigious private. now they may not look like much but these two institutions help keep europe running the responsible for the money and health of its citizens the m.a. and a.b.a. are currently based in london. they're going to need a new home combined they employ hundreds of people and will bring in talent money and prestige to whoever hosts the next making these cities keen to prove they can turn the u.k. . into their again. hopefully the future home for the european
8:24 am
medicines agency sama so keen they've thrown their name into the hat for both agencies brussels for example already home to vast government institutions it argues that having as many e.u. bodies in one place as possible is the way to go. a lot stay with this decision not only does it help shape the landscape of the bracks it but when it comes to the e m a medical experts say nothing less than the future public health is at risk if it stars aren't happy with the choice it's fit many could refuse to leave london so the importance for us will be that the business continuity of the agency is ensured and that access to life saving treatments is not delayed or reduced for the patients in the u.k. and in europe so will it be beaches bikini's and banking the sun sea and science labs that's what e.u. leaders will have to decide later today. and of course we will tell you the
8:25 am
result and it's now back to gerri. thanks christine. foreign ministers from asia and europe are meeting in myanmar as international concern grows about the plight of real hinge or refugees from the country although the focus of the asia europe meeting is security ministers are expected to pressure on sochi on the violent persecution of beyond mars muslim minority use top diplomat frederica marini has expressed hope that many will be allowed to return from neighboring bangladesh. on his way to the summit germany's foreign minister visited a refugee camp in bangladesh our correspondent all of us saw it sent us this report . this is the fastest growing refugee crisis worldwide seen from of the dash force helicopter almost eight hundred thousand to him to have fled the violence in laboring me on march many of them including thousands of children have
