i need to check in again next to michelle bridget's because she just doesn't work with green all over the world. online and interactive. german to go. learn german for free with g.w. . this is due to the news live from berlin finding common ground germany tries to break the political deadlock after the collapse of coalition talks president
5:01 pm
steinmeyer hopes to persuade the leader of the social democrats to join chancellor merkel in forming a government also coming up police move in to clear an australian run refugee camp and pop when you get in the camp has officially been closed but more than three hundred asylum seekers are with using to leave. plus big promises from zimbabwe's incoming president emerson god wants is to bring democracy and prosperity back to the country but will they deliver. also on the program payback time for a far right politician here in germany he was criticized berlin's holocaust memorial calling it a monument of shame now yes a live with a replica of it right outside his home so how did it get there we've got that story for you coming right up.
5:02 pm
it's a pleasure to be with you the german president is meeting the head of the social democratic party to try to break the deadlock over forming a new coalition government all that's after the collapse of talks last weekend between chance on the americans conservatives and two other parties the leader of the social democrats martin schultz so far will doubt any possibility of joining a new coalition under chance america but president of the steinmeyer is trying to make the case for him to reconsider his position my colleague thomas sparrow is covering the story for us and i asked him if the social democrats are going to step up to the plate all they like if there's 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
5:03 pm
those debates and search in case 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 on the social democrats could change their mind their 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
5:04 pm
a few proposal 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 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 elections still on the table. they are still on the table but i believe and also from what we've seen in the
5:05 pm
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. police and immigration officials and papar new guinea have removed dozens of asylum seekers from an abandoned refugee camp and are ratcheting up pressure on more than three hundred people who still remain there and are refusing to leave the u.n. has urged calm after receiving reports that force was being used by camp amana silent has been used to house refugees hoping to get to australia but it was closed

5:08 pm
a history of violent attacks against them by locals who want them off their island and the new detention center is not as secure as the old one staying doesn't seem to be an option though supplies are sorely lacking here refugees say police destroyed their belongings and took away food and water stockpiles adding to the utter squalor in which they have been living here. while earlier we spoke to shannon sami a human rights lawyer and campaigner of for human rights group get up about the conditions and the camp. this iteration is absolutely horrifying as you know what it shows today and fortunately now we have more than four hundred refugees who have been languishing in a day commissioned detention seem to mean and evil by so many are being 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
5:09 pm
a strategy as problem and they do not as of having six hundred man pushed into their town so we have now facing a very very horrifying choice which is i saw today by staying inside the detention centers or potentially and. outside facing violence and instability on that assignment at the moment the international agencies operating in this vice are absolutely clear and we concur with them the responsibility used in the struggle in government to evacuate these made of. bringing them to a straight near where that can a white third country recent options which the variable at the moment these people by starvation they have no there is absolutely medical problems in the camp. actually in the camp and on medicine itself and the p.m.t. government is absolutely unable to go after these period when in fact it is not their responsibility we are trimming what is happening

5:12 pm
the country's economy took a detour from its stubborn african neighbors it began in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven when the government began seizing land from white farmers the jolt for a country that leaned on its agricultural exports the result was an economy that nearly faulted in half over the next decade it was the strongest contraction of its kind during peacetime according to the world bank inflation hit five hundred billion percent poverty rates surged throwing a fit the country into extreme need things began to improve in two thousand and nine after zimbabwe abandoned its local currency from outside currency regime they can i mean has struggled again lately and inflation fears are back investors have ploughed their money into stocks in recent months as the mugabe government began printing a quasi money called bond notes the more non-god law government faces difficult questions once the cheering subsides can it bring back a local currency can it solve a liquidity crunch i suspect that everyone knows that fixing the economy is

5:14 pm
con about abuse in the conrad negotiating this merger was a grueling eighteen month endeavor it faces fierce opposition by union representatives who say though vote it down what investors make of that. you know helen the people on the markets are quite aware that the power in the supervisory board of this and complies with the capital side even if the unions the workers representatives in the board voted unanimously against the merger the representatives of the shareholder would have a majority and even if it's not likely that the c.e.o. will choose such a confrontational approach homeless using a has a lot of points to is argument he says that without the merger the cuts at the steel section would be even worse so it's quite likely that some sort of compromise will be found at least share holders are betting on it shares into some crap today
5:15 pm
where the biggest tax gain as well money talks and on that point the steel market has recovered in recent months so is downsizing in this particular segment the right strategy. you know that doesn't make the capacities go away the pick up in the market has done little to change that overcapacity is in the european steel sector estimated to be between sixteen to twenty percent that means the steel makers have operations running workers employed who are able to produce sixteen to twenty percent more than what the manufacturing sector actually needs kind of out of prison in a frank thanks for that. now china's trade with north korea plunged last month with imports falling to the lowest level in years united nations imposed sanctions on pyongyang in the wake of two intercontinental ballistic missile tests in july and the latest data suggest that those sanctions are having an effect how do you knock out an opponent north korean soldiers show their guest
5:16 pm
from china how to do it over the weekend but the beijing delegation knows who really controls the ring or in this case the economy even a visit to a shoe factory in pyongyang can't hide the fact that china is importing less from north korea than it has in yours. as late as this summer trade between the two nations had reached a new high four hundred twenty six million u.s. dollars according to chinese customs that was despite u.n. sanctions it began falling noticeably in september after the first missile tests by october trade was in a dive. that means no more trucks to be seen carrying coal iron ore or fish across the friendship bridge separating the two countries u.n. sanctions have forbidden the products for months it was only after u.s. president donald trump openly threatened to boycott chinese firms for the country's business with north korea the trade began its dive now there are only north korean airlines to see if the airport air china has stopped their flights north korea

5:18 pm
they're always like this. this is my second time leaving home and my husband has left three times. they live in a massive refugee camp but despite the appalling conditions some say they'll only return home if myanmar meets their demands. if they stop harassing us. and if we can live free like the buddhists or the other ethnic minorities are allowed to do. children should also get government jobs just like the others. for months now the un has been calling manned mars treatment of the ethnic cleansing on wednesday washington finally followed suit the organization human rights watch has welcomed that decision. the big question now is what is the
5:19 pm
us going to do about it what they should do is have targeted sanctions looking at the key military commanders that were in charge of this ethnic cleansing and also people up the line in the command of the burma military but in myanmar there are still lots of support for the military and its actions and a little love for the role hinge or. many in the majority buddhist nation view them as illegal immigrants now their own hinge are facing a return to myanmar with no clear guarantee of their safety. argentina's navy says an unusual sound attacked in near the last known position of a missing submarine is quote consistent with an explosion the noise was recorded a week ago and several hours after the navy last had contact with the vessel and its forty four crew members and i as the search continues concerns are growing for the crew's welfare as the sub nears the last of its oxygen supply.

the memorial a monument of shame this response from the berlin based artists collective center for political beauty is meant to show the politician what shame truly means. we built a monument for her because he lives over there it's supposed to remind him that you can only free yourself from golda once you take responsibility for i'm forty one and. the group known for its provocative political actions spent ten months on the project they rented the lot next to her house and worked in secret only on viewing the work this week some argue the group may have taken their artistic license too far. that he. is allowed to criticize politics and politicians to a large extent even in a satirical exaggerated way what are to cannot do is degrade people. in. the groups crowdfunding campaign has raised more than eighty thousand euros already
5:24 pm
enough money to maintain the monument and ruin her because few for at least a few years. scott that is quite a stunt to have what have the reactions been so far well as you'd expect really divides along political lines people who don't like and don't like the alternative for germany they think it's great they think this is exactly the right response to what they consider hate speech and his denial of the holocaust as they would see it . for his supporters and members of the alternative for germany they see it very differently they see this as a direct attack on him and the group that did this didn't help matters because they actually have released footage of them spying on using cameras and seem to be listening in to him and that led to accusations that they're taking using the methods of the old east german secret police the stasi so his party has said that they should be taken to court or that the police should get involved looks like at
