this is c w news live from berlin deadline for a deal here in germany we are expecting word any moment tonight a new government negotiations political leaders have just a few more hours left to reach a deal on starting talks to form a new government will they meet the deadline and what happens if they fail we'll have the latest also coming up. thousands rally in pakistan to protest the rape and murder of an eight year old girl demanding to know why police were so

slow to react to the child's abduction. composite coming up scaling new heights we meet an incredible rock climber from hong kong who's determined to fulfill his dreams despite losing the use of his legs. by my actuator good to have you with us time is running out political leaders here in germany are bracing for a long and difficult night of negotiations americans conservatives and the center left s.p.d. are trying to see if they have enough common ground to enter formal coalition talks as these exploratory talks enter their final day chancellor merkel said the stakes were high and the outcome is far from certain. there are still big hurdles to overcome. the seeking from my party

i can say we'll be as constructive as possible in our search for compromises. but of course we're also we're aware that we want to deliver the right kind of deal for the country that means it's going to be a tough day. today vs five in founder mark is at the social democrats headquarters where the talks are taking place thought and good to see you let's dive in our understanding is that the negotiators have left the most contentious issues for last so walk us through some of the major obstacles and give us an idea how tough it will be for them to find a compromise. well those big hurdles they are still the same as they were during the week and all the left overs are migration policy refugee policy it's the field of pensions taxes and at the end of the day

a lot of money is a problem forty five billion euros that's the amount that this new government could spend the problem is there are projects on the table that are worth almost double the amount of some one hundred billion euros are projects worth that the social democrats in the conservatives put on the table here so now everyone has to give up on some of their projects and this is of course a hard thing to kill your darlings and particularly for the social democrats it's mostly in the field of social policy they have to deliver in the field of social justice social policy and this is of course also the most cost the piece of policy that is discussed here and they need to deliver a success to their delegates and there could be for example major changes in health care that could be somewhere in the field of pensions in texas for the richest in germany these are the fields that are probably the toughest to negotiate at this very moment but whenever someone comes in or comes out here from the negotiators

they say exactly nothing about the state of the discussions here. so let's assume the best for a second here if these exploratory talks are successful what happens next what's the roadmap from here for forming a government because these are just the first step these talks. yes that's true well for americans conservatives that would basically be it's tonight if she could convince this the social democrats to to go into this road to walk this way towards forming a coalition for the conservatives that would be if they can agree within their party leading structure to start these negotiations for the social them. it's a lot more difficult they would have to promote first of all this result of those preliminary talks that they have tonight and then they have to convince a party congress next week to start forming

a coalition talks and even if they convince their party delegates at this congress then the party base the members would have to have a final word on the coalition treaty so a lot of work to do for the social democrats even if they agreed tonight on something with the conservatives and have been briefly if you can't are there any estimates are rumors as to when we think we're going to hear the outcome of these talks. no one believes that it will be easy and everyone here believes that it's going to be a long long night that the result will probably be only in the early hours of this friday morning but we conned really say what we know for sure is that they will the site at some point in the morning but when exactly it will be we don't know it's. been found i'm not standing by for us outside the social democrats headquarters in

berlin thank you very much. tonight anger across pakistan the rape and murder of an eight year old girl has shocked the nation and sparked violent demonstrations two protesters have died in clashes with police and this is the twelfth child to be sexually assaulted and killed in the area over the past year but the killer still at large demonstrators accuse police of being too slow to act. boils over at the death of another little girl and investigators failure to find out who killed her. is through the tone of targeting the local police station officers opened fire and chaos ensues. protesters attempt to carry away the injured. the girls' families over the police response to the protests. seen ups father told d.w. that he wants justice for his daughter. and that the government take steps

to ensure the safety and protection of all ghettos in this country. i'd also like to appeal to the army chief and the chief justice that steps be taken to avoid such tragedies like those taken in many army counter-terrorism operations. this is a community in grief. vanished on her way to us last week. this is the last image of her alive an annoying man leading her away holding her hand. police discovered her body on this trash heap on tuesday is believed to have been reached several times and then strangled to death her family wants a thorough investigation. of the murderer be arrested a life police shouldn't look to lift the burden from themselves by killing some innocent person and then seeing no you have justice. the local or high court chief

justice has ordered the police to take swift action in this case but with president putin said what they see is a failure to properly investigate previous abductions there could well be more protests to come. on to some of the other stories making news around the world in tunisia an emergency meeting is planned between the main political parties and businesses they want to find a solution to the wave of protests ripping the country demonstrators are angry about austerity measures and growing inequality as many as six hundred people have been arrested this week. and istanbul court has defied an order from turkey's top court on thursday to release two journalists from jail mess but i'll tun and saw him out pay have been. wiki leaks founder julian assange has become a citizen of ecuador he's been living in the country's london embassy for five years to avoid arrest us foreign minister announced the move on thursday and said

faraj may have raised the prospect of a second referendum i think it is a bit of a stunt i think it's to keep his name in the media not many bricks and tears would dare to call for a second referendum because they have a lot to lose they had they won the first referendum and not many remain as daring to call for a second referendum because for public opinion doesn't is not very clear that they would actually win it so that is not really a lot of momentum at the moment behind a second referendum at all in the u.k. i was g.w. correspondent bill get my speaking from london a little earlier than us president trump is expected to decide by friday whether to reimpose sanctions on tehran if he does this would be in violation of the twenty fifteen nuclear agreement with iran the european union is not happy about such a possibility which was made clear when iran's foreign minister mohammad javad
