it was the day that the news live from berlin what if they can't agree germany could face new elections of make or break the goetia actions for governing coalition breakdown chance i'm going there goal and social democrat leader much in short miss their weekend deadline but say they're heading back to the negotiating table loss of our political correspondent what's holding back their party's hopes for another grand coalition also coming up israel begins issuing deportation notices to thousands of african migrants the government says they could face jail time if they refused to leave. also

a stunning super bowl upset the fans go wild after the philadelphia eagles defeat the new england patriots to win american football's biggest prize for the very first time. also coming up turkey's president visits pope francis after vatican later today it's not their first meeting but it's expected to be a sensitive one protests are banned in rome as feelings run high over turkey's offensive against kurdish militia in syria. and the berlin wall stood for more than twenty eight years but today marks a turning point the wall is now been down for as long as it was off to meet a man who helped east germans to escape. i'm serious almost gone there good to have you with us germans are still waiting for a new government the country's a two biggest political parties say they need more time for coalition talks they had. set

a deadline for sunday but there was still no breakthrough they'll pick up negotiations again today it's been more than four months since national elections can chance for uncle merkel deliver another grand coalition between her conservatives and the social democrats. this is where the parties hope to clinch a coalition deal after talks at the s.p.d. headquarters on sunday negotiators failed to meet best self-imposed deadline of midnight and instead gave themselves the night off the on the it's got a good minds on this just now in top level talks we decided there are policy issues we still need to talk about where the parties are far apart so we need detailed concentrated negotiations so we've jointly decided that we won't talk into the night instead will return here in the morning to concentrate on continue talks and question on with our deliberations like. the parties did make

progress on some issues they agreed on funding high speed broadband expansion and investing in social housing earlier in the week they also take tough climate education and refugee policy but the sticking points are labor law and health care the conservative block has so far rejected s.p.d. calls to reform the health insurance system. the s.p.d. wants to push through these cool policies to persuade skeptical party members to support a coalition deal party negotiators will be back here today and perhaps they'll reach a breakthrough. our political correspondent times front is following the story for us hands will this be wrapped up in the next day or two well they've given themselves extra time of two days at the moment that's their aim at the moment to finish this by tomorrow or the end of tomorrow i guess it's not entirely certain

that that will happen but it seems very likely that they're going to push for that by the end of the week i think at the latest we should have a final paper so is there any chance that these talks could still fail obviously as long as they're not concluded there is always a chance that they can fail but one has to see that both parties have invested a lot in these talks there are almost one hundred people one hundred top politicians from both sides involved in this they've been talking in more than a dozen focus groups on the old various issues that the government has to deal with education housing health care those kind of things so they've invested a lot of political capital into this and i think it's very likely that an agreement will be reached we can't forget though at the end of all of this the social democrats still have a nearly half a million party members that have to vote on whatever deal is agreed upon how likely is it that they'll give their approval and that's the really big question everyone no one really knows everyone is waiting on that decision it will take

another three weeks in other words we will have a final paper and then it will be three weeks for this election of the right can follow this decision of the rank and file of the social democrats actually to be concluded so that's three weeks during which the bickering is likely to go on and also within the social democratic party that's going to lead to quite a lot of discussion and probably quite a lot of tension but at the moment i think one has to say the social democrats know that in recent polls they're doing less well than they did during the elections and i was still more badly than they did in the elections i'm not sure that the rank and file is going to risk a new elections i think at the moment but i should say it's likely that it will be approved by the. democratic rank and file three weeks is a long time in politics as we know hans now brussels meanwhile is putting pressure on both sides to reach a deal quickly what exactly is hanging in the balance for europe well obviously there is a german government in place but it is

a caretaker government at the moment so the really crucial decisions on further policy and the european union need to wait for a new german government which obviously has a very strong voice in europe issues such as the harmonize ation of asylum laws in europe there's a question about how banks are going to further cooperate in europe well this kind of issues have to wait for money issues that with brics it with the united kingdom leaving the european union there's going to be a lot of money. less money in the european union budget has to be redistributed in some way to the response ability has to be redistributed so there's a big issues and for that a government needs to be in place so there is pressure not only within germany but also internationally as political correspondent from covering the ongoing coalition talks for us thank you hans. now to some other stories making news around the world russia has intensified its airstrikes on the syrian province of idlib after one of

had spent decades researching terror networks between europe and the middle east and he says the evidence is clear. some kind of side islamic is a central figure and the only survivor not counting supporters in syria or iraq without up to slam that would have been no paris attacks on the thirteenth of november or the brussels attacks of march twenty second. it was up to slant he brought the terrorists into the country in small groups who rented their hideouts and the vehicles that they used to want to kill even viva magick. investigators worked intensely to locate up the salaam and he started making mistakes in the end he had almost nowhere left to hide. daily by day the house searches interrogation research large scale surveillance operations all of that steadily reduce the circle of people that could trust them. after his arrest of the slum was

more than twelve years ago and sought asylum in israel now his future is once again uncertain because he's facing possible deputation. the stationer always very sensitive especially for me personally in the for my community the people i love because. of like deportation an unlimited parade of time in imprisonment so very tough here at the eritrean community center the new government policy is on everyone's mind their choice go to prison or take a free plane ticket a payment of almost three thousand euros and lee force that country. over the past years israel has recognized only ten people as refugees to keep never received a response to his aside and request. the community members sometimes we want to acquire some time into our sometimes concert and through everything but their most

person. really and i left my country because of danger so i know i'm a refuge that's why you came here and it's fair to ask for a protection between two thousand and six and two thousand and twelve about thirty eight thousand asylum seekers from every trade and sudan arrived in israel by the egyptian sinai peninsula and then that was closed by a border fence ever since there has been a fierce public debate in israel about the asylum seekers paid human rights activists warn their safety cannot be guaranteed if they are deported we're talking about less than forty thousand people immigrants asylum seekers in israel who seek asylum in a land of eight million people this is less than half a percent of the israeli population so our first question to the government is why can't israel absorb those people give them shelter or allow them to build their

lives here this is so much less than other countries have to deal with many asylum seekers ahead here in a detention center in the desert in the south of israel. this have settled in the southern neighborhoods of tel aviv a poor area of the city while some residents support the migrants many plame them for advice in crime and want them to leave. these are foreigners infiltrators it is impossible to live like this all our infrastructure collapsed the sewage system education welfare everything all the budget is going to what's there if you will feel like those israelis who want to help them writers rabbis from the diplomats holocaust survivors and pilots are calling on the government to stop the potations plans the state we are obliged to deal with refugees and with asylum seekers as we would have liked the european

countries. at the time. to have treated jewish refugees who tried to save to save their souls running away from persecution and from extermination chiquita's more ado about his safety peace deported to a third country he says assured pray at the door of a small tap he wants to stay positive but given the choice to keith says he would rather go to prison than be said to know the country. now a good data for europe the numbers show the economy is looking up a for the third year in a row that's right despite all the doomsayers were predicting years an economy expanded at its fastest rate in a decade in twenty seventeen completing assume he said three years of consistent growth accordingly despite a slight dip from a seventeen year peak business sentiment also remains high looks like it's going to be a good year but there are still risks. the economy of the nineteen member single currency

union posted its highest growth since two thousand and seven before the global financial crisis the european commission statistics body euro stat says annual g.d.p. growth for the bloc went up two and a half percent that growth was largely driven by france which has a new economic impetus with emmanuel mccaw at the reins and spain which expanded by just over three percent. the value of goods and services produced in the eurozone has been rising steadily in twenty fifteen eurozone growth rose by one and a half percent. in twenty sixteen the eurozone economy grew by one point seven percent. and last year the economy charged ahead by two and a half percent. this momentum was partly because the european central bank in frankfurt has pursued a huge stimulus program slashing its main interest rate to zero and buying billions

of euros a month with the financial assets known as quantitative easing the e.c.b. has gradually been tapering off the stimulus measures which were introduced in the wake of the financial crisis last week e.c.b. president mario draghi into that the strong euro wouldn't affect the block's economic prospects but he said global factors were a wild card that could have a negative effect the european commissioner for economic affairs pierre moscovici said the eurozone would maintain its momentum at least into twenty nineteen but he hinted at worrying issues including a lack of investment persistently high youth unemployment and stubborn public debt . very good will it remain that way unless we americans veer he's an economy economists rather and the university. markets drug you mention global factors as a wild card what does it mean with that. oh is wild card he probably means the wia

guys i mean north korea can be on the phone and mr trump you never know what's going to be happening in its next tweet so global factors could be these or it could be political issues in europe take the german grand coalition discussions which hopelessly hopefully we'll finish today we have elections in italy to come up so there's a lot of political effect is which could in fact. affect the economy and the boom situation in which we are in right now you mention is really that agrees spain and italy and all growing so is can we say the euro crisis is well and truly over now it's just been covered by the e.c.b. wanted terry policy the negative interest rates so if you took these options to two for structure and change your public debt situation is germany did its good

but in italy they haven't done it they state of bliss one hundred thirty five percent g.d.p. to debt ratio and greece obviously has a lot of problems with its structural reforms so it's not over yet. do talk about greece and italy we've been hearing a lot about the some of the banks in the europe especially in southern europe. not hearing much from them anymore as everything's safe now. no not at all i mean we heard a lot from italian banks last year i mean want to partially sienna and the toxic credits and essence in its balance sheets so this is still an outcome out of the financial crisis from two thousand and seven and two thousand and eight and it's not been solved in southern europe why has it not been solved it because i mean take take the basel agreements on soaring that caps in the balance sheets not been solved as a structural reforms have not been solved and on the other hand obviously the banks scrutinise and squeeze by new problems take the fin text the bitcoin situation the

out coins so the entire digitization issue in banks so business models are not yet there i mean take deutsche bank's last week's announcement so you don't really see new business models for these bangs in particular in southern europe advice really sleeping on these new trends on on on bitcoin on you mentioned fin tech. i don't know where they're sleeping but at least they're very slow they really do not take these issues up but they are cannot do it out of a situation of threats i mean take the automotive industry they are facing the same situation with results in others diving and so forth but they're doing it out of it situation of threats and the banks are not in a strong situation so that's in the made problem and on the other hand they don't have the smartness to change it marcus will from some gone into verses thank you very much for joining us in the studio thank you that first president donald trump

promised to revive america's steel industry by curbing imports from china that's what people in the so-called rust belt states traditionally strong in the heavy industries have voted for him analysts expect donald trump to issue an executive order to that effect this week but sweeping import bans would hurt companies elsewhere in the world a lot more than chinese steel produces. u.s. president donald trump signing an executive order one of his favorite ways to get things done one executive order he'd like to issue would restrict the import of foreign steel. america's steel industry has been in sad shape for two decades dozens of steel plants have shut down at the cost of almost fifty thousand jobs at the same time subsidize steel plants in china are running at full blast spewing cheap steel onto markets around the world eighteen years ago over half of the world's steel market was shared by europe the united states and china but by twenty sixteen china had gobbled up market share in the steel industry in the u.s.

and europe went into steep decline. measures adopted by both brussels and washington to stop the influence chinese steel were useless in the meantime the united states is virtually stop buying chinese steel steel from europe now represents fourteen percent of imports so if the u.s. makes more moves to curb imports of foreign steel they will definitely be more damaging to european than chinese steel makers european companies like to sing and are are likely to be the first to be affected. while the u.s. city of philadelphia celebrates and so mystery why philby celebrating all night long how to provide a good reason to their team the underdog philadelphia eagles scored a thrilling victory to win their first ever super bowl against the new england patriots and american football's biggest game the eagles overcame all the odds to claim victory against the favorites and the five time champions the patriots

quarterback nick foles was the hero throwing three touchdowns and racking up a three hundred seventy three yards philly lead for most of the game but the patriots storm back in the fourth quarter tom brady finding rob gronkowski to take the lead but the eagles broke through again with under three minutes of play sealing a forty one thirty three victory. and it is force correspondent i mean as it is in philadelphia for us high i mean give us an idea what is it like in philly right now . is absolutely ecstatic we're right here in front of the city hall there's thousands of people out on the street it's unbelievable but also describe the mood as as a little bit shocked fans don't know how to celebrate if you asked the fans five minutes before the game if they thought the eagles were going to win they would have said yes they didn't want to jinx it but you can see that after they won it was there was a moment of shock there is tears in people's eyes we've seen grown men crying i got

hugged by a stranger i have champagne in my hair just from random people opening bottles of champagne it's incredible there's also been some violence cars overturned there's been some dangerous situations people riding on top of of a u.-haul moving van that just passed by here at the cobb seemed to have it mostly under control everybody's pretty happy but again it's a moment of confusion for the egos but also a great moment confusion i mean because this is their first super bowl win and what does this mean for eagles fans i'm here. even. yeah it means a lot to the eagles fans here young and old but especially interesting to talk to all their egos fans we talked to a guy who was at the game in one nine hundred sixty if you remember the national championship was not called the super bowl at that time it was later named the super bowl so that means you go up and it's typical first. and i.

told him. it's been. fifty but it's doable. if. you go ten. yeah i mean it looks like through all the excitement our lines use getting a little broken up there but tell us a bit more about the game as well you know the eagles led most of this game to this they deserve this when. it. all right looks like we're going to leave that there with our reporter i mean there in philadelphia we're having some trouble with that line we apologize for the quality of that connection. now let's move on to some other news and you're watching news still to come

a little bit later in the program in the eastern german city of kut both anxiety over immigration is high after clashes between locals and migrants went there to find out why. the first turkish president in the vatican for sixty years later today two leaders united by opposition to the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel. you're watching me we're back in just a few minutes with some more news but first some wintery scenes from moscow which is digging out after some of the heaviest snowfall on record over the weekend. please please. please.

follows a series of clashes between locals and migrants in the city in recent weeks the far right has a strong presence and capos and has ramped up its anti migration rhetoric lately. sent us this report from course. we want the asylum seekers to respect us which i understand to go out alone now. the germans are in a problem but the nazis are. take a while to get used to things and we're not used to this. over demonstrations in court because a getting ready they want to take a stand against fear and against racism in this city. the organizer of this demo is mohammed shah he fled from syria two years ago and was troubled by news that syrians had attacked locals here.

after the attack a lot of people have got it into their heads that we are criminals that we carry knives all the time that we fight it's not true. it's the first time in his life that mohammed has organized a protest of any kind but this issue has divided the town unlike any other. at the shopping center where one prominent attack took place police and council already are on patrol. they check i.d.'s and search banks for weapons. the checks affect both germans and foreigners. the mall is a meeting place for much of the city's youth including e.-s. and his friends. the young syrians tell us they often face hostility from the other youths including right wing extremists but they're determined to stand their ground and not allow the others to intimidate them out of the in a city. the thousand but there are tons of guys here they're here every day

that if you ask them why they come here. isn't we're no different we're human beings and we can go shopping we should stay home in the past three years around four thousand five hundred refugees have moved to the city which has a population of one hundred thousand many say this has changed the character of the city among them is stiffened qubits ki from the local wing of the right wing a.f.d. party he says the issue of integration has been ignored for too long this shameful thoughts as they must have been seems there are too many it seems that the situation in concourse has been underestimated the first thing to do is to close the borders to stop taking in refugees for now and to sort things out here. and refugee mohammed shiela knows that the f.t. is demands have gained traction and caught both on the morning of the demonstration

he's nervous a right leaning group has organized a counter demonstration. the police are there to keep the two demonstrations separate mohammed's group including syrians and germans winds its way through the city. switched it does with us on this important for us to stand up together i'm glad there are more than a thousand people here we have to keep at it on the counter protest calling for a different approach to asylum policy drew a much bigger cry. out three times as many people a small group could be described as extremists and whole against the rest of concerned citizens. america has to go she's the reason that germany is in such a miserable state right now. just. from the f.t.'s here is well regional elections are coming up and he hopes many people here think he's part of the the. go with us here in studio a political scientist

from berlin's free university and an expert in right wing extremism mr franken thank you for joining us today what is your reaction to what happened in court over the weekend the problem is that. stronghold of right wing extremist often violent since years and they attack refugees and the police don't do their job. and this is why i explode and we have then the way of a ride from populist funky who is unleashing the rage in a very racist to a so this is also what local officials are saying that this is a group of extremists and supporters of the a of d. but we saw in that report as well that there are concerned citizens who are marching with them so here are their concerns also important to take into account here yes but they're all young turks by this extremists and that's

a problem this consequence of the to sit in the city can be matched by a good police. taking. seriously concerns of the people but not by unleashing rights against all refugees as it happened in corpus now tension is there have been running high and cut this as we said there were five syrian teenagers detained in january over two knife attacks and this is an argument that the far right a uses often to say that a crime has been on the rise of because of the influx of syrians afghans people from other countries is that true is that fair that's not fair these are five people there of fall four thousand and mortar fuji's who did this attack and this is a question for the police to contain that but it's not the general mood of the refugees they are and also in other places that are

a are experiences and they have told matched by the police and by the other all saunters and then there is not that kind of problem and this has to be done by the police units by the policy on the ground and by the minister of interior of the state ok so authorities have been doing their job is what you're saying now could pose itself says it cannot take any more refugees and we should mention that the big. sure that we've been saying on the wall behind you says a shelter for it which in german essentially means we've had it up to here we we can't take anymore which is just over your shoulder is this proof then of course but the saying we can't take any more is this proof that michael's refugee on the mark with a chance for her refugee policy has failed you know not on this is a special situation and especially the reaction of the minister of interior to to stop the further coming of refugees talk or force it's a dangerous sign because it can be. perceived as coming

it's going into to the needs of the right wing extremists but it's not just cut because there are other particularly eastern german towns that also say we cannot take anymore why are they struggling so much. as we said copper says especially star struck will be if discussed it in sides get or for example another city it is rational scientists say not no more because people. can decide to go to sites get to because it's a good place so they know have to march to to consider with keep with schools and with courses are in german and then they say ok not for now so it's a ration of sign in sides cater for example so they can match it but they do it in a different way they say the authorities go to that city more places more houses

and so force so sort of rational component in that in the case of. course it's different and this is a danger to the minister of interior has to do the his job otherwise it's getting more dangerous as in some other cities especially in sex on your right emotions certainly running high and. a political scientist from berlin for university thank you for joining us in studio thank you now turkish president read to one is due to me to pope francis at the vatican today protests have been banned in central rome for twenty four hours as feelings run high over turkey's offensive against kurdish militia groups in northern syria their talks are expected to focus on the controversial u.s. recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel both men oppose the move. they couldn't be more different regift tayyip erdogan the all three tarion turkish

president and pope francis known for his humor and humility but over the years both have attempted to build bridges. when the crisis erupted over moving the u.s. embassy to jerusalem and owen made a number of phone calls to the pope to get his counsel donald trump's decision led to and rest and drew criticism around the world including from the vatican. the last meeting between the turkish president and the pontiff wasn't two thousand and fourteen francis was received with military honors an uncorrupted he was the first guest to visit the new lavish presidential palace it was a demonstration of power and a charm offensive. your visit will leave an important trace in the islamic world and will also change the view of islam in the christian world that you intend the

pope who had criticized the role of the e.u. in the migration crisis praised turkey's efforts and taking more than a million refugees from war torn syria. but the relationship between the two men is not without tensions. francis has described the massacre of the amenia during the first world war as genocide ad two on one the pope to quote not repeat this mistake. now two years on it looks like they're prepared to mend ties. yet the turkish offensive against kurdish militias in northern syria may prove to be another stumbling block it is join international condemnation and many may expect the pope to admonish turkey over its controversial military operation. our

religious affairs correspondent martin has more on the story for us hi martin this is a pope who has not shied away from political topics will he touched on turkey's offensive in northern syria he will just assume that he will not do it for public consumption so very likely is going to be behind closed doors these are two leaders who have clashed in the past after the pontiff's recognition as well of the killing of one point five million armenians as genocide how will these two was that a deep rift and how will these two come into common ground well any mention of their meaning in their meaning genocide you know it's a very sort of it's a it's a very sensitive sort of point for turkey as a matter of fact i doubt that the pope will recoil and we know that they're doing was supposed to go to latin america after visiting the vatican and that they said has been has been essentially has been counseled and according to a source at least is has a lot to do with the fact that he expected armenians larger minions populations in

latin america to be waiting for him and protesting i think that the bromates that all they were doing has been pushing that sensually talking about jerusalem for the last couple of days saying that jerusalem was a recent where he was going to be high in the genda i think that this is mostly an attempt to show that you know the fence had been mended on the other hand erdogan last year. fifty churches. and this is actually a very high priority for the vatican protecting christian communities around sort of the muslim world but particularly in there yeah in the area of confrontations syria iraq and eastern turkey but there is common ground as you said on jerusalem why is that there is going grown in jerusalem mainly because both of these people the pope and heard on are very interested in preserving the started school mainly i think they're doing a bit under him to he's audience which is an audience that sees i mean a. mother it is limits to audience that sees sort of the palestinian cause a spark of its own cause and the pope of course because well essentially this is

a sort of stone a keystone of conflict and one that sort of the trumps movement has not really helped to a sewage much of the country so i think that in this way they really do overlap but i think that they overlap it's much lighter than that and you know word on would like to project so common ground but for different reasons and this clarion went to the pope is also praised turkey's treatment of syrian refugees turkey hosting some three million syrian refugees how does francis view turkey's position there compared to the e.u. well i think you know the situations i mean the situations of the un turkey of the vatican are somewhat similar in the sense that both both blocks are turkey and the you have actually hosted an enormous number of people of course turkey's numbers are much higher than they you but it's much more proximate to the area of conflict so i think you know in this sense most certainly turkey's position although with some would say that turkey's position has some somewhat to do with in financial

incentives for hosting the refugees actually so so an area forward up between the two leaders but once again i mean it's not entirely clear that that's enough to sort of you know erase the difference between the two positions where i don't has very strongly criticized what he says is growing islamophobia in the west will he get support from the pope on that. question well most likely yes and this might be one of the most interesting are yes because as a matter of fact the vatican position on into religious conversations has changed in the last sort of fifteen years it has gone from really being centered around got the liquor got the league jewish relations to being got the league muslim relations obviously because geopolitically the muslim community has shown itself to be much more important in this sense i think that it is very likely that there don will actually get some backing on the question it's not entirely clear however you know whether this is sort of a born a free they're going to feel that gender and for the one or essentially just another political talking point you mention the difficulties facing them christians

in turkey is that something the pope is going to bring up i have almost no doubt that this would be actually very high and i would actually suppose that this would be one of the main topics for the for the for this church essentially because the sunni community has been under attack fifty churches have been seized only june july of last year and they started in two thousand and sixteen but also the protest and and got the communities had been essentially under attack i mean not under attack in the sense that they would be in syria or in areas of conflict but there has been you know has been extremely extremely aggressive in essentially pushing minorities religious minorities aside so this means that because for these vatican these are actually top priorities i would assume that this would be one of the main you know bargaining chips if turkey wants about to him to become one of the agents just sort of folded into sort of you know european political discourse very likely

this will be something that will be asked for america on much on the agenda today our religious affairs correspondent martin back on the story the pope meeting with a rush of air to one later today thank you very much pleasure. now we take a look at a turning point in history the berlin wall stood for more than twenty eight years but as of today it has been down for as long as it was up it was in august one thousand nine hundred sixty one that overnight berlin became a city divided communist authorities constructed what they called an anti-fascist protection barrier around west berlin making it into an island within east germany east berliners hoping to flee to the west attempted all sorts of ways around or under the wall the entrance to an escape tunnel has recently been rediscovered near the city's moer park did up these funny for char has more. berlin are steeped in history from the second world war to the cold war one of the best places to get a sense of the cold war is right here in berlin although many important this rise

and. things. clearly indicate where the war was. over there. and their shocking stories of germans who try to make it across this war. some try to escape before the war was even finished they said connick picture shows a young soldier from east berlin who jumped over a barbed wire fence in one hundred sixty one. some try to flee to the west above ground many hundreds try to escape underground at least seventy five tunnels were dug beneath the wall in berlin most of them from the west to help friends and relatives trapped in the east we met karl holtz artful who told us how he tried to help east germans to freedom he showed us the place where he started digging
