this is deja vu news live from berlin tonight a nation waits for songs of a new government here in germany chancellor angela merkel conservatives are pushing for a coalition deal that would keep them in power alongside germany's social democrats led by this man martin shoulder after a love and days of negotiations could tonight be. also coming up an earthquake in taiwan kills at least two people and injuries many more we'll get the latest on the rescue operation that's underway at this moment and an exclusive report on the

alleged police brutality in kenya d.w. news hears from one officer who is willing to speak out. and we'll have the latest on another volatile day on global stock markets new york's dell jones is facing further losses after heavy selling in asia and europe but don't call this a crash just yet analysts say this is a much needed correction and the german cup is back in action this week are looking to shake off a disappointing result from the weekend a battle. for a place in the semifinal. i burned off it's good to have you with us here in germany tuesday is almost over and the country is expecting more and within the next hour worse of a new government the leaders of the country's main political parties. are racing

against a self-imposed deadline to hammer out a deal to form a coalition government germany's chancellor angela merkel says that her conservatives are prepared to make painful compromises in order to seal an agreement social democrat leader martin jol was optimistic today saying that this will be the day that the two sides finally come to terms a deal with the end almost five months a record of political limbo here in germany. a little earlier i spoke to our chief political correspondent and a crane he was outside the headquarters of the conservatives the c.d.u. here in berlin where those talks are still ongoing and i asked her about the progress of tonight's poll. tonight is different because this is basically the end of the over time that these two parties had allocated for themselves they had initially set a buffer zone of two days and this is the end of day two or as one politician who entered this building

a little while ago put it if this were soccer we would now be in minute one hundred fifteen and as you know that means way into overtime so they are down to the wire but we've heard it could go late into the night they have accomplished an enormous amount we know that because the document that they're working from was leaked to the press a bit earlier it's one hundred sixty seven pages long and as i went through it the the areas that are marked in yellow those are the areas they haven't agreed on they are very few and far between it's really just two or three points but they apparently are facing some real obstacles on those particular points yet and what are those points in yellow melinda i mean what is what's holding everything up. well it all goes back to that s.p.d. party conference that you and i observed and commented on around two weeks ago as you remember the s.p.d. was very very reluctant to enter into coalition talks at all and they held

a party conference a session essentially to get their party delegates ok on moving forward on the basis of original initial exploratory talks they'd had with the conservatives there had been a kind of a general agreement after those exploratory talks and at that party conference the delegates said hey we have to up the ante epi ante on two of these points those two points are the two points they are hung up on here tonight and they are labor law it's very important for the s.p.d. for their base to really move against limited time contracts where there's no clear reason for the contracts to be temporary essentially this is about stability for workers a real core issue for the said social democrats the second area is also of core importance for the social democrats it's health germany has a two tier health system in which some people are insured by private insurers and

others by public insurers public insurers pay lower doctors fees meaning publicly insured patients also face off into longer delays and sometimes inferior treatment the s.p.d. wants that system of what they call to class medicine to end and they're really pushing for visible gains in that area as well so those are the two areas that it has never taken this long to put a government together in in germany what about the patients of the public are they losing it. to some degree they are although one must say it's not the fault of the two parties that are negotiating here that it's taken so long in fact for these nearly five months of limbo much of it was spent attempting to reach agreement between three of germany's smaller parties and the conservatives and they didn't succeed these parties have actually achieved a pretty astonishing amount in eleven days nonetheless the general public is saying

if we look at the most recent polls the majority are saying they are not enthusiastic about the prospect of yet another grand coalition our chief political correspondent melinda curry and on yet another cold wintry night here in berlin waiting for a new government melinda thank you very much at least two people have been killed and more than one hundred injured by an earthquake in taiwan the tremor has brought down a hotel trapping people inside the magnitude six point four earthquake struck just before midnight local time it's epicenter was just north on the eastern north eastern side of the country along the coast teams of rescue workers are in a ring the damaged buildings in an effort to free those who are still trapped in the cultural earlier correspondent andrew raw and in taipei gave us this update on the extent of the damage following the quake. right now there are two main buildings that are affected one is

a twelve story building that's tilted precarious the to one side there was a restaurant one floor residence and up stairs a second large building them our hotel also appears to be about it holds or a building the first two floors of that building have collapsed there are reports of at least twenty nine people in that building who are trapped other damage to bridges roads smaller buildings. and actually just a moment ago we thought more aftershocks from the earthquake and one is really well prepared to deal with sort of earthquake the president has ordered thousands of soldiers to head the ball and to help out with the rescue efforts there also rescue forces who are currently helping people get out of the building. but there is concern also about broken gas lines and water lines as well and there was correspondent andrew ryan reporting from taipei. well tonight south africa's jacob zuma has been forced to cancel his state of the nation address today fears that

lawmakers would disrupt the speech it is an embarrassing climbdown for zuma and a sign of the intense pressure on him to step down in the wake of a string of scandals. jacob zuma future hangs in the balance as pressure to resign mounts the opposition says zuma has no right to address the country in an annual speech that was set for this week south africa wants to close a chapter in the story that's a new future with actors to do and the specter of what he's done to icon in the party of politics and to politics is this the most own a.n.c. party is also raising doubts about his future party members are set to discuss his fate at a meeting next weekend a vote of no confidence is not desirable all most important consideration is that we don't believe there should we should.

instant of. this week protesters have already been sending messages to the a.n.c. as the party weighs its options on zuma son are convinced his time is up. others say hands off the president until his term ends next year. you know tensions running high in south africa and to put this into context i'm joined here at the big table by on the surface she is a south african journalist a familiar face to our viewers it's good to have you back on the show and lead so you know we've been here before haven't we i mean we've had the a.n.c. trying to convince president zuma to step down before and they're now doing it virtually every night they did it sunday night and they did it today and president from oppose us just left him zuma and what came out of that meeting is that the national executive committee meeting which was due to take place tomorrow in. in johannesburg has been in pretoria has been postponed to the seventeenth and

eighteenth of january so they sort of reading the tea leaves a sense of maybe he'll go this time but it's not the president that is it's not in his nature to be quietly so what do we know what the thinking is the seventy's or the eighty's of this month of february so that between now and then he's going to voluntarily resign the main thing is. african culture is today it seems that if you keep. his face not to lose face by and again and in a good way without sort of pushing him out but he's very stubborn and he didn't want to resign on sunday night. say they hope that he would hopefully by tomorrow. but they also also save others a dream is spreading around tonight that the south african communist party was saying that that he's about to fire vice president. and they wanted confirmation

that he's not about to do that so it can be a very long night in south africa it also seems that this president with the meaningless endless powers no one can remove him quickly when he spoke to should remove him but he's not listening to his party and in the end the other option way he would lose face is to go to parliament and have the motion of no confidence and he has been a motion tabled for the twenty second of february and ok so we've got that coming up if the party could do more to remove them why aren't they does that tell us that the a.n.c. is a lot more divided than is being reported. i think it has been reported that it's pretty divided from oppose us that he's busy since december to try and united to try and get that everyone behind him but zuma still has a lot of the. and he still has the military he still has the security branches

behind him so everything is possible you know. people hoped that he would be gone by tomorrow but he may not but it is this moment different than the other times you know you are not we said here many times talking about you know the possible in the jacob zuma is there something in this time that you sense is different i think that more and more people are jumping ship as they see that they sniff future with zuma anymore and that was why we develop the damage she can do to the country but it's a president that has to worry when he goes how does he stay out of jail because of all the corruption charges against him and that i think is his biggest worry you have to certainly have to sting out of jail means staying in office as long as you can get these are for dean as always good to have you on the show thank you for your insights thank you it's great to be here are going to stay in africa and go to kenya now where in the slums of nairobi dead bodies have been found young poor men their corpses turning up on the streets almost every day they're suspected of being criminals and they've been executed by the police without being arrested without

being charged without trial w. spoke to a whistleblower who reveals an underground war on crime that's believed to have claimed this year alone more than three thousand lives. october two thousand and seventeen it's been two days since mom pry own lost her son brian one thousand years old executed by the police. state. for you. brian lived in one of nairobi slum the police suspected him of being a thug and thieves but his mother disagrees. before i make facts. joyce was brian's friend a neighbor here in her community in kao lives where he was killed along with his three friends. i have the. one on the one who got them

down. there is more evidence images of brian and his dead friends published on facebook. troy says the police themselves posed the pictus to instill fear and brand the victims as criminals. filming at the city more trees for britain but it seems that the killing of brian and his friends was not an isolated incident we're told that twenty to fifty corpses arrive here every day almost all killed by the police. dr brian beach anger is an independent forensic expert he confirms that cases like brian's are part of a larger pattern. when she was to buy into. and tunes to the chest. and in the chest is not to do. its job security. the police repeatedly denied request for an

official interview. one officer inside the system however says he's against the extrajudicial killings and wants to uncover the actions of nairobi's police he agrees to talk to us and honestly as he fears for his life. so the procedure is as a cop you're given an order. you don't know where the order comes from you're told hey this is what's happening and now it's time to shoot to kill and then you go 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. primus arrived the prisons are full and for many police the lives of those who live in the slums this until now thousands of extrajudicial killings in kenya have been covered up and gone unreported.

friends family at his funeral they feel that he like so many other young men was stripped off to dish or 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 fight against crime. more on that coming up later on the day here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world zimbabwe's main opposition leader morgan tsvangirai is reportedly critically ill tonight in a south african hospital his supporters have been told to quote brace for the worst the sixty five year old disclosed two years ago that he had colon cancer the president of the deeds says the country's supreme court is attempting a coup against him i mean made the comments defending his recently declared state of emergency as well as the arrest of

a former president and the arrest of two supreme court judges he's currently defying the supreme court order to release imprisoned him from a sexual abuse assault case in sweden that has since been dropped voiding the warrant could have paved the way for the ecuadorian embassy in london where he's been holed up since two thousand and twelve. very dangerous here now and here the turmoil affecting global markets not ending as it was for the turmoil is the right word the down the s. and p. five hundred have reentered positive territory in this hour benchmark u.s. indices opened down two percent then bounced back the s. and p. five hundred in the dow see sawing in and out of positive territory all day fairly mild losses at this hour suggesting relief could be on the way for equities two days of chemical or more of a global selloff but analysts point to a healthy correction opera such

a long rally for stops the reason for the volatility is concerns that central banks could start winding down the era of cheap money quicker than expected. was pulling the quarter who's following this for us on wall street so instead u.s. markets put the touching positive territory once again it looks like is this a sign that investors are stunned to find their bearings well i mean what certainly makes investors a bit nervous is how big those swings are at the opening today we were down a good five hundred sixty points just a few minutes ago resolve the dow up by five hundred points or meaning we have swings of one thousand points just within this trading day and so i would say it's really too early to really call this quits and say that everything is specter not at this point because the volatility is still there but of course when you look at twenty seventeen this correction actually looks bad but it's far from the start of

a bad market that we were seeing throughout trading today so what we're looking at going forward. we are talking about a bear market when we are down from the heights by fifteen to twenty percent and we are by far not there yet at some point today we did see the market drop by ten percent from the highs that we saw and of generated so we call this a correction but what we shouldn't forget is that a lot of the economic growth a lot also of growth that we see with corporations who are publishing pretty good earnings results in the past couple of days was bought with debt so a lot of financing at the credit markets and if we might see a certain overheating of the economy if rates if years of corporate bonds of treasuries should continue to increase that will dent will make that more expensive and that actually could be a problem for the market ok so that could be an opportunity for the bears on the horizon at the new york stock exchange and you very much for that and looking

elsewhere the volatility has hit to some exchanges especially hot tokyo lost close to five percent on the day the loss isn't as dramatic in europe here's how frankfurt and why. traders began tuesday with a sense of dread following wall street losses on monday the fears afflicting new york were in evidence early you know though heavy losses were expected the dax was spared the massive sell offs seen in the u.s. and then asia. risen through should we went up too fast whether last year or this year the stock market the u.s. is still up twenty one percent from a year ago no one ever knows when something's coming but one thing is clear though the data is stable there's no impression it will just keep falling divide to get elsewhere in europe a similar conclusion but i think what's happened in the last couple of days has been a little bit of a hangover from those friday's tyros numbers and in particular the shot brought is in wage growth and that i think has really crystallized concerns the federal

reserve will embark on a much faster tightening cycle and that's pushed deal's up but it's also put pressure on the u.s. stock mol case worries that an era of cheap money is over have sparked new concerns about a slump in asia the hang seng in hong kong fell more than five percent on tuesday tokyo's nikkei index also didn't go untouched a sicko. this isn't normal it's got to be because of the plunge in the u.s. i thought the economy was actually in good shape now i'm concerned what might happen at united in a. simple profit taking automated sell orders whatever the reason it all began in new york. now heading in the opposite direction of the markets it could be the most powerful rockets in operation that is if it works the space x. falcon heavy as you to launch in twenty minutes time is designed to push out five

million pounds of thrust to lift seventy tons into orbit a capacity unseen since nasa put men on the moon behind it all found in a long musk is pulling out in front of the new commercial space race. it wouldn't be an airline must production without the usual flair for one the rocket payload will be a cherry red tesla roadster seated in the front seat handle the wheel a dummy by the name of star man his fate following the test an outward bound journey from earth's orbit preferably to a david bowie soundtrack at least according to the promo video. behind musk's humor or bold ambitions if all goes to plan the falcon heavy as a successor to the smaller falcon nine seen here will live twice as much as the current largest rocket in the u.s. space fleet for a quarter of the cost much of those cost savings are found in reusable boosters which are designed to return to earth after launching it's always

a major mistake at stake is big business with nasa satellite companies and the u.s. military. before the launch must acknowledge the then margin for error in a multi-stage launch and payload release but he was characteristically optimistic. business that was to go wrong i hope it goes right he's already designing a bigger rocket this one capable of carrying astronauts hopefully one day to mars. but for now back down to earth consumers will now be able to shop online throughout the european union without being blocked already routed the european parliament has voted to end so-called geo blocking trade has now have to treat cross photoshop as in the same way as local ones and grant them access to the same prices means on one bias will have wider and easy access to products but the new rules don't cover
