from drug maker to commercial. starting february third. this is day to be news live from berlin a weekend on the american had been to make or break coalition talks this weekend a new poll indicates slightly less than half of germans support merkel's hope for a coalition and they're losing patience with her after a drawn out wait for a new government also coming up saving the children of the so-called islamic state finders the problem and hoping to retrieve his grandson from an iraqi prison and

save him from my childhood behind bars. a disappointing results out today for germany's biggest bank more than half a billion euros in losses so what is going on of the country's largest lender. also coming up polar bears on thin ice scientists say shrinking arctic ice cover is making it harder for these massive predators to catch their prey so what does this mean for the species survival. i'm sumi so much calmer good to have you with us on the american heads into the final round of talks to form a new government this weekend with less than half the country supporting her hoped for a grand coalition that's according to a new poll released today they were still doubt whether america will pull the coalition off and germans are losing patience the numbers are even worse for her

potential coalition partners the social democrats germany center left party is looking at its lowest approval ratings ever. germany's social democrats need to regroup they're still the second largest party in parliament but their standing has been flagging since the party's poor election results last september the latest polls suggest if people voted now chancellor angela merkel's conservatives would score thirty three percent of the vote far ahead of the s.p.d. which would get only eighteen percent and that's just four points ahead of the far right alternative for germany party which would score fourteen percent the business friendly f.t.p. would score ten percent the greens and the left party eleven percent each the center left s.p.d. recently agreed to formal talks with chancellor merkel's conservatives with the aim of forming another grand coalition public opinion on the prospect is mixed in the

future this means a standstill nothing will get done it's a lame compromise thing for i think it's crucial for germany that the two parties unite it when i was hoping for a different result less than half of those polled forty six percent approve of a grand coalition government fifty two percent disagree but just over half still think chancellor merkel should keep her job fifty one percent of german surveyed felt good or very good about the chancellor remaining at the helm while forty six percent had a less favorable opinion of her leadership as a head i would have liked to see a change but you can bridge support the chancellor we have no other choice. both parties will meet this weekend for further talks but even if they're successful in forming a coalition there's not much enthusiasm for it on the streets. we have our political correspondent and young with us here in studio hi simon it seems like

germans are losing patience that the two coalition parties they're meeting at to hammer hammer out a deal or try to hammer out a deal will they manage to by this weekend i'd say it still hangs in the balance at this moment you know these talks have been going on as you say painstaking glacial uninspired cole of what you will you know the deal making has been done has been a fudgy compromise done on migration with the conservative side saying they're standing tough and these are still there we're saying they're standing up for humanitarian principles so the party is sort of already splitting on how they interpret the deal that they've done or other areas still to work out labor market policy health care and some others they wanted to finish up by sunday i think it might take a few days longer but i'm expecting they'll get there in the end what about chancellor merkel she has a fifty one percent approval ratings right now should she be worried even if she

does manage to get a government together but she's not as sure of her position as she used to be and her personal approval rating is about ten percent or lower now than it was at the time of the general election back in september but i think even more important than you know approval is the fact that people within the conservative ranks also in the media have begun to talk a lot more in the last couple of months about the possibility that one day it won't be the chancellor you know they're saying that perhaps she isn't the person to renew her party and to lead the country in the future so more of these noises of come out partly in the context. of the slow coalition talks now what about for coalition partners the s.p.d. they once had a double the support that they have right now what has been behind their decline well because there are there are many reasons i think social democrat policies

around europe have their roots in traditional left politics have to find a new agenda in the post industrial economy perhaps a new way of talking to younger voters and so on the other thing a lot of people within the s.p.d. a saying the leader most insurance hasn't really done what he should have done he hasn't inspired and he hasn't really need the policy and given a new direction for political correspondent simon young breaking down the story for us thank you very much simon. not some other stories making news around the world the united nations says some ninety migrants are believed to have drowned off the coast of libya after the boat they were in capsized three known survivors said most of those on board were pakistanis more than two hundred fifty migrants have died in just the last month trying to cross the mediterranean headed mostly to italy crowds in the mount i have celebrated after the country's top court overturned the convictions of several opposition leaders including former president mohamed

a risk that these children come back brainwashed that they are ordered to carry out attacks so we have to consider that these children could be ticking time bombs off the message but it can on them david it's munden cunt if the kid doesn't cut it it the children aren't perpetrate as they have victims in the first place victims of the circumstances and of their parents who brought them into a war zone and expose them to indoctrination also doesn't stop. parents such as those incarcerated in iraqi prisons reporters from german broadcasters and the avidity and the daily newspapers the dutch it's title were able to meet with three german women and their nine small children one lady agreed to an interview. on the do you look at i.a.s. critically by now. that's almost you don't want to comment on that instead of talking about the terrorist groups atrocities she preferred to discuss her children who she wants to go to germany we have altered her appearance in the

out billions after a serious of scandals related to its mortgage business c.e.o. john cry and took over in twenty fifteen in the hope of turning the bank's fortunes around but three years in cry and only posted losses still duchesse reportedly planning to pay out over a billion euros in bonuses for last year that to i or from the german government which urged the bank to consider what impression that would leave among the general parking public earlier john cryan tried to justify these payments here's what he said. but son we're linking stuff compensation firmly to the banks performance and. this year's variable compensation. is a one off investment now it's designed to give the new management company and investment banks the opportunity of securing our franchise and to strengthen our

position in key sectors let's give it to shift i'll soon. well let's bring in our correspondent then your corporate data bank headquarters daniel we just heard john prine justifying these bonuses in a somewhat corporate speak can you translate that for us. you know rather difficult to understand right i guess what he really wants to say with is that they are paying this extra bonus to mostly the investment banking sectors because they want to keep those employees there simply warry that they might be going and working for another bank one of their competitors all of this very surprising that has been criticized by many people also keeping in mind that investors banking and vespers banker are known to already make very well money i was doing some reach research usually with an entry position they're already making about seventy thousand euros per year and that can go easily up to two hundred and fifty thousand all of this is supposed to be changed this year mr cry and was

announcing that this was a one time payment and during this year two thousand and eighteen the bonus of management and also off investment bankers should be reflecting again more how the bank is actually performing or at least look at the bigger picture here management as mentally maybe attribute this loss of half a billion euros to the u.s. tax reform i was there anything else having a negative impact on revenue here they're blaming mostly the u.s. tax reform they're saying that the this was hurting extremely of their fourth quarter without the u.s. tax reform they would have made a nine hundred million a year also they are also telling them that the restructuring off the bank is still costing a lot of money also when you talk about the investment banking that is very much under pressure because of less volatility in the market you could really feel that

mr cryan is really under pressure many of them are asking if he is still the right one here for this job. then you cope reporting from dodgy bank headquarters then your thank you. and dodgers annual results are not going down well with investors shares of germany's biggest lender shedding more than five percent at the frankfurt stock exchange currently while another firm hit by the u.s. tax change google parent company alphabet which blamed the reform for its quarterly loss of three billion dollars setting aside eleven billion dollars for taxes as it brings profits home now without that alphabet remain highly profitable driven by search advertising but it's looking for new sources of income among them life sciences cyber security and self driving cars. apple on the other hand has yet again had a record quarter making a profit of twenty billion euros in the final three months of last year better than

philadelphia eagles at minneapolis st paul airport it was a media event these are some of the u.s.a.'s highest paid athletes. television advertising during the big game also attracts a minor galaxy as advertisers go on a no holds out and spending spree. now. this year's lineup includes big hitters danny de vito. morgan freeman and missy elliott. soft drinks snack foods and celebrity motorcycle may because they have brand to be associated with the big game. in the desert talking about. thirty second spots are going for five million dollars this year but that's only the beginning for advertisers they spend many millions more on production on celebrity endorsers and so this is

a major investment for marketers but one that they continue to to think is pays off because of the massive viewership of the super bowl more than one hundred million people watch the super bowl n.b.c. the network carrying the super bowl also has the rights to the winter olympics and is selling a package to advertisers which includes both events some estimates say the network will reach a billion dollar bonanza if you can. after a football season in which politics seeped onto the field super bowl advertisers will likely steer clear of anything potentially divisive and it's airing. even celebrities who animal a privilege of raf seems to have avoided control of a seat to. super bowl favorites new england patriots. continues to struggle with corruption after the murder of an investigative journalist more that's right well last october the investigative journalist daphne
