that we are so afraid up to seeing the huge black smoke rising from the volcano. to those of us who live in the danger zone decided to leave. the. airports in bali and lombok have been forced to close leaving thousands of tourists and business travelers stranded at. the city because the. fifteen minutes ago. i got there. we got permission because he needs to get taken. down so we don't know what's it like to be over. the country's geological agency says the volcano is now spewing out lava and that indicates a major eruption could be imminent. or here in germany we have been

here before chancellor angela merkel wants to start talks on trying to forge a government with the social democrats now the s.p.d. is the party that has shared power with merkel's conservatives for the past four years in what is known as a grand coalition as recently as last week the leader of the social democrats martin jolts have ruled out any role in the new government but now he is signaling there may be a reason it's all. unless you want to make another go of it her conservative party the c.d.u. has decided now that coalition talks with the pro-business free democrats and the greens have collapsed to try and build a stable german government with the social democrats that i think it may be all the parties are asking themselves what is important for the people who put the capacity to act on a european scale in foreign policy and when it comes to solving problems. merkel's new wish is another grand coalition with the social democrats s.p.d.

party chairman martin shultz is a little more careful as he approaches these negotiations it might work out but it might not anything could happen. it is possible that germany ends up with a constellation of governing partners that have never before worked together in a coalition we should not be afraid of this this could mean tolerating a minority collision led by merkel or possibly a grand coalition it's up to the german president steinmeyer to explore the options of how the government building process will continue now that merkel and schultz have each held talks with steinmeier the next step is for all three to meet this will happen on thursday in bellevue council and after that the two parties could continue talks without the president but it's not in the if the meeting with the german president doesn't turn into a scene of stress and argument then i would say that it would be a good idea to hold these talks. because president. on

america will also wants to enter the negotiations wholeheartedly and without preconditions. we know that there are important points that we think are very significant when it comes to the question can germany master the future but we also know that these talks always demand compromises. and it's the fault finding common ground with the end. speedy won't be easy one problem off the bat is that the social democrats youth branch categorically rejects a coalition with merkel she's also not well liked by the s.p.d. party base and they are the ones who have to make the final decision. or let's pull in our political correspondent out almost barrow for the latest on this good evening to you told us the social democrats were hit with their worst ever election results back in september during the national election in they blamed being in a grand coalition with miracles conservatives for that dismal result what could

miracle now offer them that would change that. well the initial steps that they believe they're going to take refer to that social justice program that was a key part of the program running up to the elections attempt twenty four those are adamant that they will probably bring to the table if indeed they decide to sit down with merkel for those coalition talks but brant it is still unclear to what extent those conditions or those elements would be met by the conservatives those are still elements that have to be discussed between the parties even if angela merkel and the s.p.d. is marshals even if they reach an agreement will shortz be able to persuade members of his party well that is the key question brand because the social democrats are definitely divided on the issue whereas some of the members do believe that it's important to sit down with the conservatives maybe form that coalition government

in other words put the country before the party as some of the members have been saying there are those who think that it would only harm the party to go again into a grand coalition with on the democrats conservatives so that's the challenge that martin shows has ahead of him to try and convince the members that this could be a good idea or atomosphere on the story for us tonight here in berlin thomas thank you very much. for it's harry and his american fiance meghan marco have given their first interview together since announcing that they plan to marry margot says despite being a famous actress she is not prepared for the level of media interest that will come with her relationship with harry now the prince for his part says that he hopes to soon start a family but he first talked about how he just happened a few weeks ago. and this month it's all cottage so it stands as typical not of their own this is the night this redoing just roosting chicken and

missing something funny i was trying to shake and it was just a. just an amazing surprise it was so sweet and unnatural and every man tick he got on with me because it's an instant yes for me yes is not a fact i can barely let you finish proposing is going to say yes now should you ever let me finish this movie as it was him and then those hugs and i have the ring and i think as i can i'm going to give you the rangers boys the written so don't resign it was a really nice my was just the two of us and i think i managed to catch a concert by surprise as well and this is how long often last land would be you know do little bit more than just part of the bus none of which most people would be quite a while where does that how it's felt. i don't think that i would call it a whirlwind in terms of our relationship obviously there been layers attached to help public it has become. after we had

a good five six months so most of the just privacy which was amazing. but no i think we were able to really have so much time just to connect and we never went longer than two weeks without seeing each other even though we were obviously doing a long distance relationship so. we made it work how did you first meet. us we first met means just such a by mutual friend who we will we should protect our privacy and sometimes a lot of silt too much of that. but that's it was it was that it was through her and then we met once and twice but it's about two dates in london. last july yes i can enjoy and. it was i think about three maybe four weeks later about an honest persuaded to come and join me in botswana and we i mean we camped out with each other under the stalls a response that kind of joy for five days all that which was i was in fantastic so

then we were really by ourselves which i thought which was crucial to me to make sure that we had a chance to to get to know each other with a friend to introduce to washington to say you love yes it was definitely set up blind dates and it's so interesting because we talk about it and now and even then i you know because i'm from the states you don't grow up with the same understanding of of the royal family and so while i now understand very clearly that there's a global interest there i didn't know much about him and so the only thing that i had asked her when she said she wanted to set us up was i had one question said was he nice because it wasn't kind it just didn't it didn't seem like it would make sense and so we went and had a mat for a drink and then i think very quickly into that we said would. tomorrow we should meet again or is it on us made again and then it was not right doris radio diaries and find out how we're going to make this work because i was off to africa for a month and she was working i'm going to survive as well as the job and the

gumption to be the perfect place so that's why there's a picture of two royal lovebirds i've got rosalie delaney here at the big table with me she's a writer based here in berlin and she is an expert on all things royal it's good to have you back on the show that she has left are they are these two are they getting married because they want to or because they have to add say as well because they want to and well why would they have to. well you tell me there's lots of the tiriel for the rumor mills right now i mean obviously some people are saying that maybe that she is pregnant and they want to get married before the baby is born so it could be a bit of a shotgun wedding we might put that it could be yes yes so that you said that is a possibility it's a possibility perhaps spot. that they want to get married in time the father said royal baby comes along from hereon case which is due next april may

yet now if there is if they have a spring wedding we're going to have a royal wedding and we're going to have the third child born to prince william and kate is there going to be a royal conflict there i don't know if kate's going to like this or it will certainly be spring two thousand as heinous set and looking lack of a busy season for the royals and. joyful when you do think kate would like being staged by well his yankee doodle be. played as a little bit of braving stylists the public to celebrate i think asians i think which will be special and right what do you see in these two i mean if we look at the memory of a beautiful beautiful couple and she represents so many things that are new for the house of windsor first of all i mean she is an american she is divorced she's mixed

race someone even said she is the obama thick asian of the the british royal house i mean it's queen elizabeth are they ready for all of this moderne or to well only on their vanity well i mean they've had a little bit of time accepting a divorce saying to the family with camilla i think you know this kind of adjusting . you know modern family life which doesn't include divorces and. you know complications who died oh have a clean slate well in time to a new love you don't think this is going to be any reason for someone to have to use that stiff upper lip that we hear all the time i certainly heart not that would be unfortunate i think that meghan has unfortunately had to beg some not. racists come untrue in terms of being a woman of color coming into the royal family sire i hope that the royal family.

hostile embrace her and sealed have from that me do you think it's going to be the end of me really do you think in two thousand and seventeen when they get near to those they think is it really going to be an issue. with back to heart not that i mean if there is there's not really an institution really why spy than the british monarchy size still thing yet there is an element of sanction not painful to come and what about prince here you know he has been described as the bad boy of the house of windsor does this gauge me it is this is this official is he he has settled down yes or no we're running out of time we have no i think i think this is his time that he's mature and that's good mature that's what we like thank you very much for the lady here our royal watcher we're see you again at the top of the hour with more on the. national.
