forcibly moved to alternative facilities in a town they face a dangerous assault in that town and the protests of locals who feel that this is a strategy as problem and they do not deserve having six hundred man pushed into their town so we have a few days now facing a very very horrifying choice which means i slaughtered eighty three staying inside the detention centers and potentially a record. outside tracing violence and instability on an assignment shared activists as yourself have been very critical of the australian government's practice of sheltering refugees on madison island the government however says it is trying to stop people smugglers and to deter people from making the crossing from indonesia to australia don't they have a point cruising by sea is dangerous but ultimately will be striving to government has been doing is violating international law and spending almost nine getting

industry in dorman's to deal with its true thousand people who've come by boat to struggle and not as you well aware in europe the numbers go up where fiji crosses are far beyond that and what you see in a struggling is i small country thanks very trying to a problem massively overreacting slightly violating international law we think unity and the training fully two thousand men women and children in absolutely despicable conditions for the four years what do you suggest australia do with this new camp that's being suggested is that being seen as unsafe by the refugees themselves what should the government do. at the moment the international agencies operating in the stories are absolutely clear and we conclude with them the responsibility used in the struggle in government to evacuate these men. bringing them to a straightener rejecting a white third country recent actions which. at the moment these people starvation

a social democrat is expecting to urge him to reconsider that stand today. and did abuse political correspondent hans brandt has been following the story for us and he joins us for more hi hans so this meeting between the president. and shows today this could be the last chance to create a stable government and avoid new elections how do you think the conversation between these two is going to go do you think the s.p.d. could actually change their minds. there are indications that the s.p.d. is at least prepared to talk several representatives leading representatives of the party have said in the last few hours that they are prepared at least to sit at a table with the conservatives with marco and discuss the possibility of a grand coalition discuss the contents of such a coalition and how social democratic policies could be implemented under such circumstances obviously frankfurter steinmeier the german president as

a social democrat itself knows exactly what he's talking about he was foreign minister in this grand coalition that has been ruling germany for the last four years before he became president so he knows exactly what kind of difficulties maybe also what kind of opportunities the social democrats might face in such a consolation but where those difficulties hands are why is it the social democrats seem so determined to avoid a coalition government with chancellor merkel. well the social democrats have in fact been into grand coalitions with the conservatives the last one this past one that has just finished and in both cases i think one can say especially over the past four years that social democratic content social democratic policies has been implemented to a large extent during those governments during the rule of those governments but at the same time the party itself the social democrats have not really benefited from that in some sense if you are in the government with. everybody else kind of

disappears in the background while i'm going to america takes credit for everything and the consequence of that has been that the social democrats have done very badly in elections especially also in this past election in september where they had their worst results for many many years really afraid that if they continue working with anger and back in a grand coalition the profile of the party will become less and even more and their chances as a party will become reduced so a lot riding on that meeting between shelton steinmeyer which we should mention will take place behind you and of you today so if that if there's no compromise and there are fresh elections who stands to win and who stands to lose i think both the big parties the conservatives and the social democrats are not really interested in you elections because most polls show that there's not likely to be much change in their strength neither scottie to win or lose particularly so the movement would be

amongst the smaller parties and amongst those parties the most the biggest concern is that the right wing populist the alternative for germany who just entered parliament in the past election with a rather surprisingly good result that they could even further strengthen if elections were to be held again so the smaller parties might be interested in you elections the larger parties are not due to abuse hands brunt covering the story for us hands thank you for that update. not to some other stories making headlines around the world mean maher and bangladesh have reached a deal on the return of roh henge or refugees living in bangladesh more than six hundred thousand have fled their homes in man maher amid a violent military crackdown this year but key details of the deal have not yet been released such as how many refugees could be allowed to return. palestinian political rivals fatah and hamas say they have agreed to hold elections by the end
