into focus now and of course those u.s. tariffs on it just holds about they'll be top of the list germany's social democrats have just announced the names of the six ministers from their party will be joining chancer on them ackles new coalition government all of scholz will be the minister of finance now that is a key position heiko moss will be a foreign minister he'll be the point man for communicating with the us who brought us hisle will take over for the labor department the former minister of family covering a barley overcome minister of justice and the family will go to francis jaffe and spend his shoulders will become even a sort of work environment. well goes talk about this now with our political correspondent nina. will these cabinet appointments be able to work with the americans conservatives well they have a long experience most of them. working together with anglo-american let's not forget eight of the past twelve years the s.p.d.

has governed together with uncle americal it's the so-called grand coalition and now we know who the share of the s.p. d.'s ministers are going to be and yes very familiar faces that in different positions some of them interesting also that there's a fifty fifty a quota three men three women so that was an important signal some new faces like francisco give from the district of north where i'm from. that is called a difficult district of lynn so she has a background of finding pragmatic solutions and that is something that machall and she said he's going as well as he's been she's a young woman's an important signals have towards s.p.d. members that the leadership is taking seriously that they want to take this rejuvenating process that many people in the rank and file of us feel that they're taking this seriously ok one of the big stories today we're looking at a trade war looming between the united states and its trading partners including

the european union donald trump there singling out germany as one of the violators as he calls them conducting the assault on the united states. has been named by the s.p.d. just moments ago as the country's new foreign minister he's going to be the point man for dealing with the u.s. who is he is he up to the task. has zero experience when it comes to foreign policy we have to. we have to just look at that he just doesn't bring experience with him then again the foreign office in germany is very well organized and has extremely competent. members of staff and he he has a good team which will certainly help but of course there are some critics sayings that my god. has managed to impress germany's partners abroad with his dominant way of approaching. leaders like president adelong for example and has

a very different style from my gob though he is known as somebody who's sort of shy and he was very unsuccessful in his regional politics well after what they he can actually be a strong voice will certainly have his work out of promoting germany's interest in light of an assertive united states what about the other cabinet nominees we just heard about at their press conference today what kind of access will they be bringing to the new german government i think the most i kept saying appointment is . as finance minister of course i'm in the midst fact that. the junior partner in this coalition gets the finance minister is an extremely important sign and of course it is the symbol that machall. has lost power here at home in germany because she had to make this concession she had to give the s.p.d. the finance ministry of course. would have no known as the more conservative social

democrat. no big surprises that he's still a german finance minister ok looking at all of shoulder gesturing there we have some live pictures we're getting in as we talk of the new cabinet appointments by the social democrats this government has been a very long time in the making what will be some of its top priorities well the coalition deal says that europe is top priority and we mustn't forget that the window of opportunity the german government can work together with the french government to implement some much needed reforms within the european union is. very very narrow we have european elections coming up next year and. we've seen right wing populism all around selling italy on sunday only strong win for anti you forces that so there's this window of opportunity is very very narrow. the search

for democrats have. have you supporters in the bundestag so that will be a top priority and of course there are lots of issues at home but i think they will have to. let you know thanks very much for the insights this morning you know. we're turning now to turkey where today is the latest court hearing for seventeen journalists who've been charged with supporting terrorism employees of the drum hurriyat as an opposition newspaper this comes amid a widespread crackdown on press freedom in turkey more than one hundred writers and reporters are behind bars though did have you correspondent julie hahn sent us this . an editorial meeting at juliet one of the few newspapers in turkey not controlled by the government. journalists here are discussing stories for the next edition many have been in trouble with the authorities because of their reporting but they are determined to keep on writing

that. they that we can't get any information from government officials or state institutions they are not allowed into any of the president's press conferences they continuously try to criminalize a newspaper to the point that even carrying a copy it is risky for readers that despite these circumstances we're trying to do our. the newspaper often covers court cases against its own staff an ongoing trial involves seventeen employees charged with supporting terrorist organisations all have been released on bail except for three who have been behind bars for over a year now in a show of solidarity jim who publishes their photos on his front page every single day. editor in chief uk an ultralight the publisher and archimage sheikh

a well known investigative reporter. ship is using the trial as a platform to get a message across i am not defending myself i am accusing you he said in one hearing in december twenty seventeen the trial was suspended and sheik removed from the courtroom when he criticised the government his supporters supported him. yawn jessica only gets to see her husband in court and during visiting hours in jail it's been like that for over a year she is prepared for every outing. we didn't make anything wrong or amir did not make anything wrong and he is right that's why of course i have hope because i believe in ahmed and i believe in myself expectations i have no expectations from the judiciary part or anything from the state.

she says the terrorism charges leveled against her husband are observed years ago he was jailed for writing this book criticizing the muslim cleric fit to live glenn today glenn is public enemy number one in turkey but on a chip is now accused of supporting him. the picture. on it is since twenty eight years a journalist and he is especially focusing concentrating on right rights while ations that's why it's not the first time that he has trouble with the state if you look in the indictment all the proofs are just journalistic activities reports here all the interviews he made. and he yes he was just doing his job. about one hundred twenty journalists are currently in jail here in turkey according to reporters without borders more than in any other country rights groups
