today they're hoping to finally seal the deal if the truth is that after all this is about the quality of life for the people and about being a successful business location every single one of us will have to make painful compromises so i am willing to do that if we can assure that in the end he advantages will outweigh the disadvantages and it's influence the nothing. it's michael's last push to clinch an agreement on a new grand coalition the deal is supposed to end months of political limbo and europe's top economy. skeptical missions leaving god thus those letters about was nothing less than forming a stable lasting government in one of the largest industrialized countries in the world that meets the challenge us both internationally and nationally about some model not so very good. and not only the world is waiting for germany to get its act together closer to home in germany spawned attack the parliament is also eager

to discuss the upcoming legislative agenda. let's go straight to our chief political correspondent and the crane there she is at the city you had quarters say here in berlin where the coalition talks are still on going well and is there an end in sight. there is an end in sight at least that's what we're hearing from inside this building where indeed they have been at it all day and essentially it is make or break day for these negotiations the parties had allotted two days of overtime and the clock is running down now on day two and we're told that there is optimism a lot has been achieved and in fact. a version of the document that they're working on has been leaked to the press and if you look at that and look at the areas that are marked in yellow in this document they are very few and far between at this point in fact they have reached agreement on according to one negotiator ninety to

ninety five percent of the issues that they were negotiating on and just to give you a sense of the volume we're talking about this document runs one hundred sixty seven pages long fourteen chapters so in fact they've accomplished quite a bit in these eleven days nonetheless some of those who've been entering this building in the past couple of hours have said there are still hurdles to be overcome and the fact is that the essential decision will come down to whether the compromises are in the eyes of those who are making these doing these negotiations worth the sacrifices that are being made so we'll see where it ends but in fact as i say the clocks running clocks running melinda this is the longest period ever that germany has been without a government what happens if they don't reach a deal. which in fact could be the case either if the parties today don't seal these negotiations or afterward even if they do come up with an

agreement today it still has to be put to the vote of the entire social democratic base that was a condition that the members put on the party they did not want to enter a renewed coalition to go she ations with conservatives they have the sense that past. grand coalitions have led to a drop in support so that was their essential condition and in fact it is not at all clear that the s.p.d. membership will approve of this if they do not at that point it's wide open once again most likely we would then see new elections that could take us into the summer before those were to occur leaving germany with a caretaker government which of course can manage the daily business of governing but is not in a position to take crucial initiatives on major challenges ahead and that also includes europe where another clock is running the french president emmanuel mccall has put some very serious proposals for a u. reform on the table he is waiting for an answer from berlin and it's an answer that

only a lasting stable government can give all right chief political correspondent in the crane reporting from outside the city you h.q. here in berlin thank you. art want to tell you about some of the other stories making news around the world. poland's president says he will sign a controversial holocaust bill into law but andre jute us says he will let the country's constitutional court decide on its legality the bill makes it illegal to suggest poland was involved in nazi germany's crimes and balance the term polish death camps and israel in the u.s. have criticized the bill. zimbabwe's main opposition leader morgan tsvangirai is reportedly critically ill in a south african hospital his supporters have been told to quote brace for the worst sixty five year old disclosed two years ago that he had colon cancer. and south african president jacob zuma in

you land within that process if you don't get the right guy you'll end up killing the wrong guy and if you get the right guy you also kill the right guy without prosecution and nobody cares. crime is rife the prisons are full and for many police the lives of those who live in the slums in this until now thousands of extrajudicial killings in kenya have been covered up and gone unreported. frind family at his funeral they feel that he like so many other young men was stripped off judicial process and his human rights. and it's a sad sad that bryant won't be the last young man will fall victim to nairobi fighting against crime. a power struggle in the popular holiday spot them all
