7:02 am
i'm sara kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us. leading members of germany's social democrats are calling for improvements to a coalition blueprint agreed with chancellor angela merkel's conservatives they have to win over the party's rank and file who could vote against starting formal coalition of coalition formal talks on a new grand coalition that move could trigger new national elections but merican is center right christian democrats and their bavarian sister party the c.s.u. oppose shaking up the deal. the leaders of germany social democrats are trying to win over party members and gain their approval for formal coalition negotiations but it's not proving easy it's not the big deal we should take our topics into the coalition to x. and discuss them in detail if that means discussing some points again why not yeah when this the coalition blueprints agree with angela merkel's conservatives on friday could be improved on senior social democrats
7:03 am
a. few needed many good individual projects in this consultation paper on which we can and should develop further but the big social topics like health care universal public health insurance or social housing are nearly entirely missing feeling poc to complete. the pressure is going as is nervousness politicians on both sides are talking tough. but it was martin schultz now needs to show that the s.p.d. can be a reliable coalition partner and he must nip this potential revolt in the bud there can be no renegotiating. this is nonsense and of course i can't stop people from c.s.u. from talking nonsense we're used to that but such strong arm tactics definitely don't help us come together social democrat members will be able to have their say on the grand coalition in a week's time. or for my let's bring in our correspondent thomas sparrow who is standing by at our parliamentary studios here in berlin in the german capital
7:04 am
welcome to you thomas good morning you know as we just saw there from that piece that this does not look like a marriage made in political heaven but at the end of the day can pragmatism win the day. well sorry and it doesn't look that way because in a way these reluctant partners if you look for example at the conservatives their preferred coalition was not necessarily ones again with the social democrats they had preferred a different coalition but that fed up last year and the social democrats themselves that said after the election in september that they didn't want another grand coalition and they preferred to be in opposition but obviously the political situation in germany has led to these different parties to sit down and get at the table and as we saw last week have that twenty eight page document that is the blueprint for formal coalition and they go she ations so in a way they are obviously in different positions but both the conservatives and the
7:05 am
social democrats want to avoid new coalition new elections soria which will be the result if this formal coalition talks fail so that's probably why they're sitting down and that's probably why they're doing everything they can to try and have that coalition in place once again so let's get the prospects now of the s.p.d. basically getting you know support from their base because you know many in the party that they've been complaining that they don't see and off classic social democracy in this deal in particular we know that martin schultz that he's heading to his home turf tonight north rhine-westphalia the party's heartland of course how will he try and win over his party colleagues. essentially by presenting two areas or two topics one is europe that was something that was clear even before they started the exploratory talks that would be one of the key topics that the social democrats would try to push forward that idea of working closely together with france that idea of expanding european integration the second issue would obviously
7:06 am
be social justice as with one area that might it was as always tried to push forward areas on education investment which social democrats believe that they managed to get a good deal in this twenty eight page document that we've been talking about those are probably two areas where martin short's will try and convince his party members and his delegates but it's not an easy task and in fact next sunday he will be heading to bonn to the party conference of the s.p.d. where he will certainly have to convince party delegates because they have to give the green light to entering or not entering formal coalition negotiations and all of that you know amid an atmosphere where we heard some senior social democrats saying that last week's agreement basically must be reworked merkel's conservatives on the other the other hand they say that the deal is done it's a done deal absolutely who ultimately will be forced to give ground. well in this
7:07 am
particular moment probably neither the conservatives nor the social democrats they both see this as exploratory talks are not just the next step the next step is particularly important that's that party conference that we're talking about afterwards if they do accept to enter those formal coalition to go she asian edition the social democrats point of view they see that they still want to discuss some topics they see this document that we're talking about only as a blueprint only as guidelines that would then have to be in a way rework to rediscuss informal coalition negotiations and just to remind our viewers i mean the best case scenario in all of this is basically that they go through this process germany gets a go that's a coalition government you know finally we have to also remember that elections were back in september take us through the worst case scenario thomas because if the social democrats and merkel's conservatives don't agree on a deal what happens then there would be two options in short one would be
7:08 am
a minority government led by the conservatives something that obviously the conservatives want to avoid if they can have that minority government then fresh elections and fresh elections is something that both the conservatives and the social democrats want to avoid thomas sparrow in berlin thank you so much. want to bring you some breaking news now here at the w. that has just come in people in iraq apparently reports they're saying that twin explosions have killed at least twenty six people and wounded dozens more in the capital baghdad security officials saying that the blasts were caused by suicide bombers near central aviation square there we will bring you more on this breaking news as we get it again news there from iraq of an explosion. in the meantime we want to turn to some other stories making news around the world because palestinian president mahmoud abbas has accused israel of ending the middle east peace process he said that israel's actions mean that the oslo accords no longer exist those one
7:09 am
thousand nine hundred four agreements formed the basis of ties between israel and the palestinians abbas also stressing his opposition to u.s. president donald trump's decision to recognised who saw him as israel's capital he declared that to roussillon is the eternal capital of the palestinian people he made the comments at the opening of a p.l.o. meeting in the west bank abbas also had strong words for trump who he said would achieve the peace deal of the century between israel and the palestinians. even though it's a trump and others know we will not accept his project. told him the deal of the century is the slap of the century and we will retaliate. for mark let's bring in jerusalem correspondent tonya kramer who is covering the
7:10 am
story for us so tanya we just heard the boss there saying that israel has in effect ended the oslo peace accords take us through his rationale. well you checked if he said that that is where the also codes what he means by that is israel's actions and that they also chords for example by continuous building and expanding settlements in the occupied west bank and that's one of the criticisms the posting in and that made the agreements with israel and the vision of the two state solution. impossible that he made that speech at the beginning of an important meeting by the p.l.o. central council they will discuss the political implications of the decision by u.s. president to recognize twosome us the capital of israel and in light of this u.s. decision the positions are now trying to reframe their relations trying to reach frame their point of actions and what that means in concrete policy because we
7:11 am
didn't get much of a complete policy in the speech by president abbas you might know a bit more once dismissing is computer. given that he has made this assessment this assessment that the oslo peace accords are dead first of all is that really the case and second of all does it even matter i mean the fact that that one side believes that the peace accords are dead does that kill the peace process essentially. well take to fully i mean people here would say there is no such thing as a peace process at the moment now mr abbas has made it kills in his speech that the postings want to continue to pass or peace but not in the way that the palestinians would accept a u.s. led initiative that the u.s. has to say alone and that was kinda speech they want to see an international approach maybe a multinational approach like for example in the existing. bodies the
7:12 am
quartet required to mideast quartet also the five plus one model that was successful in the iran nuclear deal so what they are saying they have to fill the void to know that u.s. has left interesting a new model of approach to continue the peace initiatives and the time that we know that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is currently in india but before he left the middle east he accused abbas of of trying to dodge peace negotiations using transfer marks interest them as an excuse i just want to play for our viewers what exactly he said and then get your reaction there after have a listen to obama has used this. statement to seek a way to send from the run away from the negotiations done it before you want to negotiate peace you've got to negotiate we've never put any preconditions undergoes additions ultimately tanya is israel itself prepared for talks now is it prepared
7:13 am
to make concessions well that's exactly the question i mean this is your first supply that you've just been hearing is that the palestinians are the ones that every pusing to come to the negotiating table i think the decision by the us president has really strengthened it's really got with which is right wing government and at the moment there will be no incentive for them to change course in any way. trying to cram on with the latest from jerusalem thank you. let's get a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world turkey has condemned u.s. led plans for a thirty thousand strong border force in northern syria the move by the coalition fighting the so-called islamic state has stoked turkish anger over u.s. support for kurdish fighters which on the receive terrorists president much of type everyone says that turkey will soon launch an offensive against

7:19 am
incomes but concerns about potential protectionism in the united states cast a shadow over the car industry. now for more on the industry's performance last year and a look ahead at twenty eighteen our correspondent carsten from aman spoke to b.m.w.'s chief financial officer nicholas peter. but the pitter immobility is said to be the future of the car industry a number of countries throughout the world are trying to get more electric and hybrid cars on the road now here in america this administration has different priorities but there are many states and cities who are pushing this development how important is this market segment for b.m.w. first of all in terms of electric powered car two thousand and seventeen was a very successful year for the b.m.w. group we have sold more than one hundred three thousand cars worldwide which makes us the number one worldwide in the premium segment for electrified cars the
7:20 am
u.s. marketplace and key role in this strategy why because even from a global perspective twenty percent off is a cost of the electric powered cars sold in the u.s. and this definitely on the lines developed and the patents of u.s. markets and we are very optimistic that sings to our investments in this technology we will see further momentum we will see further grows in the years to come. though in general two thousand and seventeen was a difficult year in the u.s. market for many producers including german producers and b.m.w. what we do reasons for this was this partly because of the loss of trust because of the gate scandal at fox bargain or because of president trump lessing out against germany produces what is your assessment from from our perspective to sounds and seventeen was what i would call a transition year why because the very important x.
7:21 am
three was in one out we've started to production i was in new x. we late twenty seventeen and since we have seen close we have seen a very good momentum in the u.s. market so i'm optimistic far twenty eighteen for our performance in the u.s. market why. because on one hand side we have a very successful five series was a full impact in twenty eighteen and on the other hand side we are launching z x three to be followed by z x falls the x. two and later in the years the x. seven so in a market which is clearly more and more focused on its yeast we have exactly the right mix of products. b.m.w. chief financial officer nicholas peters speaking to our correspondent cars and phenomenon there are many car makers in detroit are showcasing new versions of the old gasoline engine some big names in the business are fighting a battle over
7:22 am
a new market the electric car ford just announced a eleven billion dollar investment into electric and hybrid cars in the coming years while the cars are becoming more popular problems like low battery range remain our reporter amin asif caught up with a driver who doesn't mind these challenges. if you forget to charge your phone you can't use it for jeffrey jacobs the same goes for his car jacobs drives a nissan leaf a one hundred percent electric vehicle with a range of ninety miles that's just enough to get him to his job and back home the trip is a challenge but he enjoys it. i switched to an electric car because i felt first of all that it was an efficient way to go second of all it was a form of domestic energy where i wouldn't have to depend on the fluctuating price of gasoline. when jacobs first started driving
7:23 am
a plug in car five years ago he was one of the very few electric car enthusiasts there are now two million electric cars in circulation worldwide twice as many as just two years ago professor deborah blevins who has been studying alternative transportation for over thirty years believes the technology is at a turning point the biggest challenge has been on batteries batteries have made a huge stride they're not there yet but they made a tremendous strides despite recent improvement electric cars are still expensive and sales only account for one percent of the market in developed countries in order to help get the new technology into people's hands governments around the world from norway to the u.s. provide rebates to electric car buyers at king mitsubishi in maryland the outlander hybrid electric vehicle qualifies for about seven thousand dollars in government incentives this is actually the first week and a half that we had in common and we've had a huge amount of customers come in obviously they're doing the research they want
7:24 am
to know more about it we have has sold a couple so far already these government sensors absolutely help customers in terms of purchasing these plug in hybrids some analysts suggest that the market for electric vehicles could overtake that of gasoline engines by as early as twenty thirty five while that's great news for cities suffering from air pollution there's a catch electric cars still draw on fossil fuels for their. power so if you're generating electricity and most of the electricity is comes from coal and gas then you really aren't accomplishing much so you have to green the electricity mix in order to then have electric cars significantly address greenhouse gas emissions. jacob's hope is that one day he can commute without having to pollute much has to change before he can achieve zero impact driving but he's in it for the long haul. now with the cars becoming more popular demand for the mineral list him is also set
7:25 am
to increase some say it'll be the goal of the twenty first century since lithium is an essential component of batteries of the largest deposits can currently be found in south america and australia but some lithium can also be found in germany and a group of companies is racing to get it out of the ground. we're off down the sins of mine in saxony going to have plots knows his way around these disused shafts like no other. the former mine and knows where mere a stone of common mike it can be found it contains lithium essential to modern batteries and fundamental to the mobility. and the mike is trapped here we call it's involved. and it's what contains the elements lithium . drilling has shown that lithium or deposits with an estimated market value of some five billion euros lie beneath that involved mine together with a canadian company in miller wants to recover the mineral extraction is slated to
7:26 am
start in four years when the financing is firmly in place the. deposit can be exploited competitively if the sites lithium carbonate use the mineral to also make more developed products such as lithium fluoride and lithium chloride. those products can be put directly into batteries without any further processing and. europe's largest living in deposit is in austria eighteen million tons of it are buried beneath the alpine slopes. in the federal state of carinthia. extraction there is expected to begin in a bit over two years. in berlin smits of the german mineral resources agency keenly follows development concerning the global deposits and availability of lithium. we don't anticipate lithium supply bottlenecks before twenty twenty five which we've researched and work because we can see a very large expansion of already existing companies and many new projects in
7:27 am
australia because well as south america we feel we are. german battery producers obtain their battery cells and the lithium they contain directly from asia. there are no european suppliers. before the cells are finally assembled the lithium in them has traveled halfway around the world. along transportation routes when the carbon dioxide footprint of lithium batteries is extremely high. that the cells which are batteries main components have to be shipped thousands of kilometers to europe is not an acceptable state of affairs it's not ecological or economical as such we have to take up cell production in germany in europe. but until things reach that stage europe's prospect of lithium producers will have to become economically viable as already established south american and australian mines no
7:28 am
easy task. and that's all from me thank you sarah thank you so much press stuff. you're watching news still to come on the program in the bundesliga rock bottom coloma faced a crucial prime derby against bloodbath we will see who aren't the bragging rights . all that more coming up and just given its time i'm sorry telling us things in. a sense to keep religions apart. in traffic it separates catholic and muslim children in the schoolyard. even though over two decades have passed since the war ended in bosnia-herzegovina how deeply do the divisions run in the hearts of the. no love in
7:29 am
a hostile crowd to the divided by. sixty d.w. . like you who are fighters want to start families to become farmers or engineers every one of them has a plan of you know where you should. send the thing is this the children who have always been the n.s.u. and those that will follow are part of a new kind of. they could be the future of. granting opportunities global news that matters d. w. made for mines. are you up to speed on the latest technology. no then it may be time for an upgrade become part of the future become a cyborg my goodness i must say a word so i have created a new sense on the new organ and i've designed my perception of reality implants
7:30 am
that make everyday life easier. i use my you. on a daily basis that optimize the human body and connect people more effectively. i hope this will make us more ethical persons what would life be like as a cyborg and what effect will it happen society does that human race need an upgrade i think it's only the beginning of this. cycle works she women machines starting february first on t w. welcome back to your if t w news i'm sarah kelly in berlin our top story is leading members of germany's social democrats are calling for changes to a coalition blueprint with uncle america's conservatives they need to win over skeptical party members who could vote against the deal to start formal coalition talks. palestinian leader mahmoud abbas has accused israel of ending the one
7:31 am
thousand nine hundred four oslo peace accords to his actions he also denounced u.s. president all trumps peace efforts as a slap of the century abbas said the palestinians will seek and internationally led peace process without us as a mediator. but out of the weekend when this legal action and i'm joined now here in the studio by max merrill from did of use force to take us through all of the big talking points so. blunder sleep is back you see we all be excited well yes of course back from the winds of slumber and judging by this weekend's actions yes we should be excited i think it's going to be a fantastic second half of the season leading up to a world cup in june so you know i want to turn to you know break down some of these points the first one is that apparently the german top flight returned from its break with a bang a big derby between cologne and defeat for rock bottom cologne was unthinkable and it turned out to be a dramatic encounter i want have a closer look at that and then get your reaction there after. colognes play is
7:32 am
still believe in a miracle escape that much was clear before the right job but the game initially looked like it would run to form the black box christophe karma going close after a quarter of an hour. alone grew into the match though and frederic sarrasin signs jumping for joy with the open after sixty four minutes well known for the hosts and their biggest game of the season. the second half so glad that threaten again but at first they could not take advantage of cologne defending. the level that was coming however and rafael finally managed it at the second nuts and. even the staff he goes mad in a prestige darby five but there was to be a twist in the tail and what's a twist do you think to stop his time similar to not accept the win difficult loan in his first game since rejoining the club by the win is just
7:33 am
a lone second of the bundesliga season but hope springs eternal for the basement side they get to safety is now eight points and they have the local bragging rights . so a nice win there for kalani but i mean is it significant would you say in the long run yeah i mean mostly for the fans the dog is a big deal of course but it shows that there's still been the sting of quality which if you end the first half of the season with just one win is pretty much up for question i would say so they went into this game with a lot of confidence back their coach is a very attacking formation and they had a boost in terms of playing stuff as well their captain unisexual was back we also saw. on his debut score in the ninety fifth minute also a big big boost for cologne and crucially they had luck on their side which wasn't always the case in the first off of the season cologne were notoriously unlucky with the v.a. on the visit. video assistant referee yesterday they could've maybe conceded
7:34 am
a penalty as it was the referee reviewed it and he didn't give it i think he should have as the amount of water could have been sent off as well he was eventually than the match winner scoring the gong ninety fifth minute so a bit of luck which will help them and their coach who says we're going for it i feel your optimism for cologne back so i have to say but you know at the end of the day if we break it down can they really avoid relegation well i mean it's a huge task no doubt but it's not impossible and we saw yesterday a very different cologne side undiluted back in general it's just been a bit of a different feel around the club and they're playing hamburg next week and that's really crucial because hamburg are in front above them. obviously bottom of the table hamburg above them a six point gap which could be cut down to three and then suddenly you're talking about a very realistic opportunity of surviving so for me you know it's all about getting that momentum for them getting a bit of luck and crucially in relegation it's not who's best it's all the two
7:35 am
teams that are worse than you. and that's we have to talk about the other actions and i have cars going to stay with us to comment on it but we're going to look right now in depth because you know dortmund they they hosted well as far with star striker pierre emerick over my young dropped for a third time apparently due to disciplinary reasons they were looking to move second with the win but over my young and a number of injured players out it was it was far from straightforward let's have a look at the action and then maxwell comment later. you know i mean young's absence seventeen year old jayden sanchez who was given his first edible just need to start and he played a role right from the beginning the youngster was a whisker away from giving his side that lead after twenty minutes. two minutes later his son chad was involved again but andre yeah i mean like oh fluff he's finished let's involves both of the who wants more. the wolves they got their first real chance but you know it's manny played in don you did davi but the twenty seven
7:36 am
year old couldn't be the keeper. remains dominant throughout the first half but alexander was foiled by the post and the school's remains level at the break. the second half brought more of the same with go it would create some chances but failing to convert. just couldn't find a target that it was centuries turn to mississippi by shinji kagawa the englishman watched his effort hit the post with four minutes to go both book keeper code castillo's went on a wild adventure up the pitch but when the ball eventually landed at near a shot in his feet he was unable to take advantage of the empty net no green for sanchez on his debut in the starting eleven but a jewel means that peter is still unbeaten in the league as dortmund coach. so max what do you make of this game is a pretty lackluster and horrible week at dortmund they started off with a stomach bug that went around the training camp in spain and then all this
7:37 am
transfer speculation around this guy pm rick obama who brought his dad and two brothers to the training camp the club turned a blind eye to that but then they did suspend him because he missed a team meeting just before the match day the day before and i mean the guy has great goalscoring talents but he's also got a bit of a talent for getting suspended it's his third suspension in just one and a half years from three different coaches so it's not a problem with one coach it's not the fact that there's an issue between two people here it's. it's really his issue and don't need to sort this out because the transfer windows open he could leave the need to get a replacement if he does it's unclear to me if he's just angling for a move in doing it because of that or if he's just ill disciplined and the he keeps getting himself in hot water but with the game it was as we saw i mean don't have so many chances they should have scored even without obama young in the squad they need to sort that out unbeaten in the league as well which is small comfort for them so what if all this action that we've been discussing doesn't mean for the
7:38 am
table well i mean it's quite incredible leipsic beat shall go over the weekend leap frogging them so we can take a look at the top of the table where by and of course still top they're easily going to win this season i think they're going to win the league again but leipsic close behind shall come. close behind leipsic and we see a huge. huge issue for many of the clubs there where we see light sick all the way down to frankfurt that's full points separating them so while the title right race is over i think we're going to see a very exciting race for the european places and any team that we see in the top of the table could realistically make it into the champions league max now breaking it all down for us as always all the action over the weekend in abundance they have thank you so much max. for. you're watching t.v. news we have some breaking news stories to bring you now coming in from iraq our
7:39 am
first story here were reports say that twin explosions have killed at least twenty six people and wounded dozens more in the capital baghdad security officials saying that those blasts were caused by a suicide bomber or bombers near central aviation square we will bring you more on this breaking news story as we get it and there's also. other news coming in from indonesia at this hour some pretty shocking breaking news here where the stock exchange in the capital jakarta has been evacuated after if floor collapse in the building about a dozen people were reported injured witnesses saying that the collapse occurred in the buildings lobby area police say that hundreds of students were visiting the stock exchange at the time. on now to some other news because we're going to bring you a story now of susan rashid a kurdish nomad born and raised in the desert who became iran's national kick boxing champion eleven times she defied family objections and tribal custom as she
7:40 am
fought her way to the top level of. susan rice should be lives as a nomad in the kurdish region of northwestern iran. and she has a lot to do. soon susan and the fellow members of her community will be heading south to warmer climes for the winter. women work just like men do here but they don't enjoy the same rights. as they asked certain customs and rules funnel math like us especially. for example girls shouldn't participate in sports i couldn't bring myself to tell my parents at home that i wanted to do sports. time but when i finally did my father really ranted at me and. the memory of that makes suzanne sad you can tell how our father's reaction of prohibiting her to do sports affected her but
7:41 am
she just didn't want to bake she also wanted to do kickboxing. because her first love them used to have the neighbors and family members had complained about me to my father behind my back when he also said bad things to my face but i ignored it and continued to do my squad. even when i started winning tournaments and my name appeared every rare in the media saying that a normal girl had become a winner that was still not acceptable for the people he looked at arses about imo both the modem of them us are doing many of those a little. but it was acceptable for one person such. a young man from a nomad family from ylem in southwestern iran. he had been admiring suzanne from
7:42 am
a far. he was attracted to her he also liked her courage and strength. when he asked her to marry him she had one condition. that he not interfere in her sporting life was accepted that others didn't. zano marched fast by see men and women as equals. and women can do sports just like men . i have no problem with but regardless of who wants to talk to me about it but. in fact i'm proud that my wife was an athlete. i like it and i support as much as i can give it to know who michael. both have decided to continue living as nomads which is no longer the norm as you hardly see young people living that life now. most move on to the big cities in the hope of a better future and then. but so john finds
7:43 am
