as we go about our daily lives the lights go off in the last week no no no. visible. we bring you the twenty first century. story december second on d w. this is due to be a news live from berlin finding common ground germany tries to break the political deadlock after the collapse of coalition talks president shine meyer hopes to persuade the leader of the social democrats to join chance americal in forming

a government or a live edger mini's presidential palace also coming up. big promises from zimbabwe's incoming president addressing crowds in harare emmerson ganga says he'll bring democracy and prosperity back to the country but will he deliver. and police move in to clear an australian run refugee camp in pop one new guinea the camp has officially been closed but more than three hundred asylum seekers are refusing to leave. iraq it's good to have you with us while here in berlin the german president is meeting the head of the social democratic party to try and break the deadlock over forming a new coalition government all this after the collapse of talks last weekend between chancellor. conservatives and two other parties the leader of the social democrats

martin schultz has so far ruled out any possibility of joining a new coalition under chancellor angela merkel but president talk about the steinmeier is now thought to be urging him to reconsider that position i had indeed over use a political correspondent thomas spare has been following this for us from the very beginning thomas are the socialists going to step up to the plate considering that this could be a last ditch attempt to form a coalition government and avoid a new election from taking place. all day life as anyone who could try and convince martin shows of changing his position of changing that position of being in the opposition that it's going to be the german president. who is not only as german president the one in charge of directing political debates in the country because the rection of those debates and certain cases he's also a prominent figure of the social democrats himself so that's why this conversation

now happening right behind where we're standing is particularly important because of a still unclear to watch extent martin shows when the social democrats could change their mind different formulas that are being discussed at least here in berlin from a full participation in another grand coalition something unlikely to participation if you will on a case by case basis if they were a minority government in germany and all those are issues that are being discussed here at the moment there is still however. not a lot of clarity regarding what can happen next all right so those are all the reasons why i mean why have the social democrats been playing hard to get that they don't want to govern with the chancellor. well they were part of the grand coalition for the past four years and although they did manage to pass a few proposals especially when it comes to social policy in germany it was normally the chancellor who took if you will all the good opinions of those

policies that were possible they see their very bad result in the election of september twenty four as a result of their participation in a grand coalition and that's why after the results of september twenty fourth they very clearly said we are under no circumstance going to be part of another grand coalition we see a step in the next parliamentary period as being leaders of the opposition again that's something that they're at least reconsidering now after certain members within the s.p.d. asked martin shultz not to have that strict opposition policy and rather at least be able or at least be willing to have conversations with the chancellor and with other parties and thomas our new will lections still on the table. they are still on the table but i believe and also from what we've seen in the german parliament that that's like a last resort possibility if you will get something done most parties want to avoid

even if publicly they are saying that they would be prepared for such new elections they're more likely or more inclined at least to try and find some sort of compromise and that's also the reason why these conversations are taking place just behind here because president frank like that steinmeyer is one who said that new elections would be not the best option on the table because it would mean turning the responsibility back in the hands of the voter instead of having that responsibility by the parties who have the responsibility to try and form a government in our time a sparrow reporting thank you i want to bring you up to date now with the other stories making news around the world. argentina's navy says an unusual sound detected near the last known position of a missing submarine is consistent with an explosion the noise was recorded a week ago several hours after the navy last had contact with the vessel and its forty four crew members but officials say there is no evidence of an attack. i

party after arriving back in the country on wednesday the leader who had fled to south africa earlier this month after being fired by mugabe pledged his service to the people and urged him by winds to come together take a listen. no one is very. angry that. me growing economy. we went to prison ok we want to join. for. the incoming president there speaking and to give music christine is in harare and can join her right now christine how isn't going to our managing expectations. judging by his words last night at what you just said in that the jobs jobs jobs that he is speaking the language that people wants to hear here he says that he's going to pursue investment for this country

and in fact a few sentences often he said jobs three times he said that he had been speaking and engaging with people and governments abroad and of course reaching to here on the continent and he said these were people who wanted to support the zimbabwean economy so he has struck a chord with the people here by talking about the fact that he wants to rejuvenate this economy so he's saying the right things at the right time i'm gonna go we'll have to rebuild the economy from the ground up has he outlined how he plans to do that. he's not outlined and this is why we're looking forward to he speech tomorrow the we we want to get a sense of what exactly he means by we're going to be creating jobs that we're going to be opening up this economy. if you talk to economists they talk about for example that he needs to look at policies in this country that have essentially made it an unfriendly environmental invest is this and things like certainty that investors need need to be put in place he is a businessman he has been engaging for example with the chinese government on the behalf of the zimbabwean government so we understand that he is somebody who is

used to dealing with the governments and negotiating he does have that background and so much work is innocent we don't know exactly how he's going to do it and part of what will tell us that is the people that he puts in certain positions tomorrow we understand that we'll have an announcement about he's cabinet tomorrow he is sworn in now interestingly of course there with robert mugabe are not facing prosecution gondar getting a hero's welcome are people ready to forgive and forget for the sake of moving on. yes i think for a lot of zimbabweans what needed to happen was for president mugabe to to be moved from office that has come people are now looking forward as involved means looking to the future now and they don't want to hold grudges a pasta lot of people say we don't mind if president stays here if he if he enjoys the rest of his life they don't even mind but taking that he's going to have in the fact that he's been granted immunity some do take issue with the fact that he has

amassed a lot of wealth of the is and some have gone as far as saying well he doesn't have to keep all of this we're talking about mines and you know we're talking about huge commercial farms and and some people say surely he doesn't need to keep all of that but political ads to him staying here and living a peaceful life for the rest of his he is people don't necessarily take issue with that what will be interesting for me is to see if he'll be invited to mars swearing in ceremony amazon has certainly been striking a recon city a tree and notes going as far as showing dignity and respect for all that mugabe not insulting him it's a different case when you talk about the first lady that will form a fit for this lady but regarding president mugabe and not as quite simply ready to move on if that were to happen tomorrow there would be a remarkable indeed a christine one draw and harare zimbabwe thank you. police and immigration officials in papua new guinea have removed dozens of asylum seekers from an abandoned immigration camp and are ratcheting up the pressure on more than three
