afro germany starting december tenth d w. this is d w news coming to you live from berlin a new era begins in zimbabwe. jubilation as president robert mugabe resigns says the man who once proclaimed only gong will remove any steps down after thirty seven years in power so what next for zimbabwe

last our correspondent in the capital harare. failed coalition talks are looming large over german politics we'll ask the deputy leader of the social democrats why his party isn't stepping up to form a government with them apples conservatives. and goobers cover up of a massive hack data of fifty seven million fewer customers were exposed to the high end of the yuvraj paling firm kept quiet and then paid the hackers to delete the stolen information. below i'm terry martin good to have you with us. elation on the streets of zimbabwe citizens have celebrated late into the night after president robert mugabe announced his resignation ending nearly four decades of rule the shock announcement

followed a tumultuous week that saw a military takeover mass demonstrations and a desperate move gob a clinging to power in the face of impeachment proceedings. to me underneath on the streets of harare thirty seven years of robert mugabe's rule has come to an end d.w. correspondent christine one on hand to witness history. that was. one of the. just minutes earlier members of the zimbabwean parliament listened as the speaker of the hives read i do a statement from robert mugabe i. intend. to see one all because two thousand of them bob we're here bond for my tender my

nation as the president of the republic of about the way we immediate effect. the speaker went on to read mugabe's reasons for stepping down. my decision. is what i'm talking on my blog and outside rome i can say ok well you know people who bought over my desire to ensure. more peaceful and nonviolent song. that's on the. national security. piece and. mugabe's departure marks the end of a crisis that began last week when the military intervened to stop the rise to power of mugabe's wife grace that then developed into

a popular revolt. i knew her will be named within forty eight hours but for now zimbabweans are enjoying what marks the beginning of a new era in their country. and we can take you now live to the zimbabwean capital where our correspondent christine is standing by for us christine it's been a historic night for zimbabwe and they must be glad to see this crisis ending peacefully. yet terry. that was one of the things that mocked this produces the fact that it was very peaceful life hunting huge moment in the capital in the midst of what was the military coup essentially the these soldiers who are making peace of order prevailed what friendly suits to the citizens this is something that the ordinary man in the street is not used to there she is full of feel where he is off soldiers off police but the peacefulness with

which this happened is what really got to the people of zimbabwe these are very few people people the reason why zimbabweans often don't take out to the streets is in fear of that that's they will be violence and so for this to happen in such a peaceful way they really means a lawsuit out of people here. of course everyone is wondering where does it go from here former vice president emerson. is widely expected to take over from the opposition leader morgan tsvangirai has been expressing his views on modern god well let's listen to what he had to say is it is in. character only. that defines him as that. comes under very strong personality. and compromising. and i don't think that's what we need to leave the country so years making that

kind of. institute be. created that you mate. opposition leader morgan chang or are there speaking about emerson milingo agoa who could take over in zimbabwe describing him as ruthless it seems the opposition is not really happy with who might replace mugabe christine. so that's what the opposition is calling for at this point in time is the constitution of the country to be upheld now what that dictates is that innocent not should be painted take over the full the remaining to offer that comes to an end next year and the country is due to hold a general election so the opposition they say what he needs to do is only take over for that time there were rumors about a five year long transitional government the opposition opposes that but you're quite right said not what is

a problematic figure that this is been held out his right hand man for a very long time. and fortunately if you if we take a look into he's he's cost a problem actually report particularly when it comes to human rights abuses and violations he has been links to various horrible incidents in this country most recently the election violence of two thousand and seven two thousand and eight and further back the killing of thousands of people in the south of this country political violence so the opposition is swearing off this character like many other people are in this country to hear well what will happen to robert mugabe and his wife grace. that's the big question we we don't really have the details of the agreement that was reached with president bill got the but we do understand that it's most likely they have been brought to its community they are i'm likely to face any had to face a q.c.

and i think the big question is really what they will choose to stay in zimbabwe only that they will take force to live in its out these are people who have a quiet property and well to begin they have properties one of the quote city so it would be possibly a tough choice to decide where to live out the rest of the yes it's not done that if they'll stay in have at it but if they do choose so most nike and a very comfortable conditions without the prospect of lady cross prosecution team thank you debbie is christine while they're reporting from the zimbabwean capital harare and if you want some updates on just what is happening in zimbabwe right up to the very minute you can check out check us out on twitter and also at d w news of course you can also have your say on what is going on you can join our conversation on facebook at d w africa now to the political crisis here in germany german president published i has been seeking

a way out of the deadlock created by the collapse of talks aimed forming a new coalition government on tuesday stond i held meetings with the man whose party scuppered those talks christiane and then of the liberal f.t.p. the co-chairs of the green party were also summoned to the presidential palace and berlin. is pressing the parties to return to the negotiating table so fresh elections can be avoided. going to machall has already said she would rather run again in a new election than try to lead a minority government it's an unprecedented situation for germany something very much in evidence during yesterday's parliamentary session. newfound trust between germany's conservative alliance and the green party. which when the conservative alliance in the social democrats these uncertain times the collapsed coalition talks loom large over the bundestag oh out of frustration there needs to be

understanding for this difficult balancing act which means everyone who bears political responsibility should shift away if only partially from their election plant friends for a compromise that would benefit the majority this is neither a failing or a weakness but the parties he referred to the business friendly f.t.p. and the social democrats through the plane at each other. mr libby now i think you should be very quiet today you don't take any responsibility for having long planned your excess and then you put on such a show that's quite a nerve. see you who could barely wait for election results so that you could cowardly throw in the towel you have a cheek to blame us for anything. the most miserable often uncertainty has arisen in a country used to stability when the acting defense minister emphasized that has long been regarded as a given. germany stands for reliability ladies and gentleman applause only came

after repeated prompt. distinctly. dykes line germany stands for reliability ladies and gentlemen. yes yes that's perhaps not so easy in a situation. the specter of fresh elections is overshadowing the bundestag work. with you know just an uncertainty in people's eyes what will happen in three or four months a lot can change. how do you go on as normal what do you do with your staff a lot of jobs are dependent on members of parliament if you mentioned it and might have to my special focus as digitalisation i want to deal with the future and now all that's been put on hold. new elections within a few months or a minority government without a stable coalition both would be a first for the bundestag offer to form a government with conservatives. well first of all good morning i don't think we

have a state crisis we have an acting government and that works and is now the situation is a little bit complicated we have seen the failure of angle america and negotiating with the greens and the liberals and see if you and that has happened just on sunday and now we have to think about what's what's going to do and there are different possibilities yet on the other side we have had a grand coalition and this soren people have to decide what they think of this grand coalition and they voted with the miners of twelve percent that wasn't really a mandate to just to go in with a grand coalition as we had it so the sort of democrats have decided on election day that our part is to go into the opposition and things haven't changed since then and no change in their election result no major international crisis or anything just the failure of the talks led by i'm going to america so now talks

have to be held with one as president and my and the other parties we'll see what happens but i don't see the revival of a grand coalition between conservatives and the social democrats you attribute your party's poor performance in the previous election to having served in a coalition with chantel back of the grand coalition as you just described the previous government but still do you not feel a sense of responsibility at this point to put the interests of your country over those of your party and give germany a functioning government. when no party in its history has more taken responsibility for the state than compared with the social democrats and we have taken responsibility the last time going with twenty five percent only and a coalition with the conservatives they had almost an absolute majority so nobody has to tell us anything about responsibility yet there are different ways to. have

purse points ability being leading opposition party and not giving that to the right wing party and the problem is one thing and the talks just have began begun and there are different possibilities i don't know why the people don't put more pressure on those four parties that have negotiated for weeks and have put on a big show and no results and i'm going to mark this response to the responsible for that but also hard to see how the greens and the liberals and i think the pressure has to be put on them because they wanted to go the government and they failed there was only. p.r. to be seen last weeks and therefore i think they're the first to take responsibility now you began by saying that you didn't feel that germany is experiencing a state crisis but again right now germany has only added ministration that is

operating not at full capacity shall we say there's the prospect of either fresh elections or more negotiations this could go on for months are you not worried about the implications of political deadlock in germany perhaps also for germany's partners outside of the country. or we see in europe basically all over the continent that there are minority governments and much more instability then you could ever see in germany i think therefore i think we should wait whether there is a minority government or whatever happens but i'm not worried that we run into a crisis we don't want to have new elections but if they were to come we don't fear them either so we'll see what happens we will be part of the talks there is a big important role for when this president and the other parties and we see what happens is your party ready for pressure elections well if there are elections we have to be ready there is no choice we don't want it but if it happens

we have to be ready and we will and finally who do you blame for the coalition talks breaking down between the conservative democrats and the greens are the free democrats to play i don't think that it's really reasonable to play the blame game here. look at things through a bipartisan through a protestant. view but i think i'm going to macrophage she was the one to lead the negotiations and she failed and with her all the other parties as well. deputy leader of the social democratic party in germany thank you very much thank you now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today a u.n. court is due to hand down its verdict today in the trial of bosnian serb military leader rocktober lot it he's expected to be found guilty of genocide for the massacre of thousands of muslim men and boys in the town of one thousand nine hundred ninety five lebanese prime minister saad hariri is back in the country

almost three weeks after announcing his shock resignation from saudi arabia these attending independence day celebrations in the capital beirut has still to explain the mysterious circumstances surrounding his resignation. in turkey the trial of eleven human rights activists is set to resume today in istanbul ton a kill it shows the chairman of the international in turkey is one of those facing terrorism charges and it was jailed in june and is the only defendant still behind bars he denies all charges against him the other activists including german national paid were released on bail last month. well judy hunt is standing by for us at the courthouse in istanbul chile what are the charges against each other and the others.

well it's the second hearing in this trial that is taking place today and all of the human rights defenders are still being accused of secretly organizing an aa prizing and aiding terrorist organizations so really tough charges and i talked to one of the defendants turkey's the embassy international's turkey director he did essa right before she went into the court and she told me she can't even find words to describe the observatory of the charges the charges are fabricated she says they are made up and that's why they need to be dropped immediately that's what she says but still prosecuting authorities are still seeking jail times of up to fifteen years for all of the defendants including german national peter storrie as you rightly pointed out he left after he was set free on bail in october he is not here today but his lawyer is the fifteen years of jail time are still on the court table

so there is a lot at stake today. tens of thousands of people have been arrested in turkey following the failed coup what does this trial shed on what does it say about turkey's legal system what sort of life is that shed on the turkey's legal system. well the text government projects all criticisms of those trials of these trials and says it's judiciary is a completely independent of government decisions but as you said there is doubt because similar charges terrorism charges have been leveled against so many other people here in turkey since the failed military coup last year and some people critics say that now many judges are just fulfilling a certain political agenda so many people here they of course hope for a free and fair trial but they don't really believe in such

a fair and free trial anymore but briefly if you can or what are the implications of all these arrests and this trial for other activists working in turkey well it hasn't been exactly easy for human rights activists to do their jobs in the recent years here in turkey but this trial of course is special rights groups and their supporters are saying it's aimed at silencing all critical voices here in turkey it's aimed at sending a signal to all of the others who are still standing up for human rights for democracy for freedom of speech it's aimed at sending the signal signal look this is what might happen to you as well if you are too vocal in your criticism of the government three hundred reporting for us live from istanbul thank you very much. ride sharing company is coming clean about its cover up of

a year old hacking attack crystal as well the news is another controversy for over on top of saks roller assman allegations against former executives a lawsuit alleging trade secrets theft and multiple federal criminal probes now. confirmed to the company suffered a massive data breach that affected fifty seven million customers around the world theft happened last year but were did not inform customers that their personal information like email addresses and mobile numbers could have been stolen by hackers the revelation will do more than just harm reputation in many countries companies are required to disclose data breaches to authorities so the right hand service could end up facing fines. google siemens toyota johnson and johnson giant multinationals that dominate their industries everyone's heard of them obviously but what if you make products for a less high profile sector ball some companies here in germany some people here in

germany rather call these companies hidden champions companies that are largely unfamiliar to the public because they're often family owned or on listed on the stock market germany there are about one thousand five hundred so-called hidden champions the average company's revenue is between fifty million and three billion euros it typically employs over five hundred employees most of them specially trained the majority of hidden champions are in technical fields forty one percent in the mechanical engineering sector ninety percent in industrial production and twelve percent in plant engineering now later today the hidden champions institute of the european school of management and technology will have its grand opening here in berlin sabina rao is the head of the institute and she joins me now what comes of being a good to have you now many of these companies these hidden champions are very successful in their field and their needs. what do the new didn't need an institute

for. there is and that's really astonishing. not a lot of research that is relevant and rigorous on those hidden champions we know a lot of anecdotes but we still don't know much about their success factors developing and how we can help them to sustain their competitive advantage so this is exactly what we will deal with at the hidden champion institute at the s.m.t. so how do they set themselves apart from other companies. they market need us in and each globally often and the culture is very straightforward so one of the main differences is that they have really direct ways of acting they leave their managers with a goal and then it's up to the managers to reach the goal rather than to define processes now one of the big issues here that companies in general especially

companies that are in the field of industrial engineering have to deal with is digitization how's your institute going to help them tackle this problem isn't t. is no an especially in the executive education area to know a lot about digitalisation and to help companies now the hidden champions are different but they have a great opportunity here because if you digital lies your processes that are repeatable you have free capacity of management to develop the business models of tomorrow and that is something all companies will have to do and how exactly are you i mean you're focusing on the training of the of the executives are right we focus on the training of the executive based on research and we are dealing with them really looking into projects that they have problems that they have to deal with in their companies develop joint solutions and also to help implement them

which is often the most complicated part of it now you say you're institute is giving executives a leadership leadership of these companies an opportunity for exchange yet at the same time many of these companies face difficulty in recruiting a highly skilled staff are you going to help them deal with that problem as well because graduates you know they prefer to go to porsche or siemens for that matter . well you know when you are successful that is a motivation to join a company when you are not. known to be successful that is a problem yes you're right but. i'm quite sure that companies that offer executive education to this stuff more interesting for high potential us than those who don't so in a way indirectly we're doing that yes so i mean you're ahead of the hidden champions institute which will open later today in a row and thank you so much for your visit thank you now the fifth round of nafta talks has come to a close and the three countries involved have yet to resolve any major differences

u.s. officials brought up some sort of issues at the meeting donald trump made revamping the trade agreement which is called the single worst deal ever approved a key element of his election campaign but throughout negotiations canada and mexico have continued to resist u.s. demands the areas of common factoring and our culture where there are still no signs of a solution next on the talks will take place in december. sports not football rather and a mixed night for the german sides in the champions league terry that's right that's right christophe to put in the champions league it was crunch time for dortmund they needed a win on match day five and they took the lead against tottenham with returning striker america scoring the first goal but tottenham hit back through harry kane and human song to win two one result means don't go out of the tournament although

they may still go into the europa league. and before we go just a reminder the top story we're following for you here today on t.v. news people in zimbabwe are celebrating after president robert mugabe else's resignation ninety three year old mugabe ruled zimbabwe for nearly four decades. so you news for now we have more for you coming up the top of the next hour and you can get all the latest news and information around the clock on our website at g.w. dot com thanks for being with us.
