this is d.w. news live from berlin and it's back from the brink for germany's coalition government interior minister of course they will first says his party will hold another meeting with chancellor merkel's c.d.u. party on monday morning in a last ditch attempt at patching up their differences they have overhead been poised to resign as minister and leader of the c.d.u. sister party the c.s.u.

coalition partners fell out over my brief policy the big move for reportedly unhappy with the deal chancellor merkel agreed to with the european union. american evanston thanks for joining us let's go straight to d.w. is correspondent michelle the krishna who's in munich where the c.s.u. leadership has been meeting and joining me in the studio is usually a political correspondent you know has a you know a do stand by i want to go directly to michelle so we just heard that horse a hole for the interior minister made a very brief statement a short time ago what did he have to say. well basically he wouldn't talk about his offer of resignation that he clearly made

behind closed doors this evening to see you so you don't see in the german parliament what he did say though is that the c.s.u. would launch another attempt of finding common ground with anglo machall c.d.u. party this of course being an attempt to save that union of these two parties that this decades old old political marriage and he also stressed that this was basically a courtesy on his side because otherwise he said everything would have been over well everything could mean anything from the his role as interior minister to the c.s.u. leaving its union with angela merkel c.d.u. party to potentially bringing down the government of course and doing her chancery so all sides know that this is a very critical political moment and yet again it's being dragged out by at

least another day and we will learn at the earliest on monday where the this political tremor here in munich will become a political earthquake in berlin and potentially beyond. well nina so after hours of reports suggesting they hope for is stepping down now perhaps he will stay according to him it's not necessarily decided that he's handing in his resignation but even if he does stay where do things go from here certainly the relationship between they hope for a chance or marital after this kind of standoff is so severely damaged can they even work together anymore they're fighting something out now which was started a long time ago yeah is. has criticized america repeatedly on several

occasions and also when it came to different topics by gratian policy of course being the biggest one but we all know that this escalation now is focusing on a point of sixty three point. plan and this one point where they disagree. is now using. me as a potential way of bringing america so it's not about those details it's not about those topics it is a small. personal rile between these two characters and even if he does stay this means very very rough times indeed for as chancellor with the interior minister who would basically chords other projects potentially as well. in addition to the reports of his mission to fill with us yet there she is

if along with the reports about who for intending to submit his resignation we've also heard that a number of leaders within the c.s.u. were it were saying they would not accept his resignation so it sounds to me there's quite a split within the c.s.u. party itself just how much support does a whole for have from his own party members at this point. well the c.s.u. beside the point of what differences may be on particle particular policy aspects but since you has a long and firm tradition of c.e.o.'s you m.p.'s and members backing their leadership so you will have a much harder time getting open criticism to really come to the surface than you would even in terms of anglo-american c.d.u. party in just as we are we saw those ranks close behind uncle america all over

this blatant and brazen attack from the c.s.u. leadership in particular horses who for here in bavaria we are seeing the ranks close behind horses. in this crucial hour where he puts his political fate on the line potentially but at the same time also drowning out those who came in almost quite cheerful like a month later viva who is a prominent european politician he's the leader of the european peoples party the conservative bloc in the european parliament who basically said he was quite heartened by the fact that i'm going to machall to come back with those bilateral agreements of a dozen or so countries that was much more than anybody had expected now we saw the will for here in this meeting basically not that count for very much not seeing

that amount to his demand his initial demand and this is where we are there's no open rift within the c.s.u. but there was a lot of tension and that lasted for more than eleven hours tonight and share kirshner reporting for us from c.s.u. headquarters in munich and you know political correspondent here in the studio many thanks to both of you. well now to some of the other stories making news around the world afghan officials say a suicide bomb has killed at least nineteen people in the city of jalalabad the blast came hours after president gandhi opened a hospital there and also declared an end to the government's ceasefire with the taliban the bomber apparently targeted minority sikhs. and the tory is french criminal has made inundations escape from prison several heavily armed commandos landed in the courtyard of

qualification will probably hold power of both chambers of congress as well which will help him pass major reforms especially in the telecommunications sector and the energy sector but he will need special measures already so he will have to hurry as well because they will have a mid-term elections in three years and they will have to renew one of the chambers . for a door has valent to completely change mexico just briefly if you can why do people trust him. more mexicans are so fed up with the ruling class that they are taking a chance on a leftist populist for the first time he has promised to redress the huge inequality in mexican society we he wants to. redress this imbalance between the poor and the rich or parts of mexico and he has promised to end corruption he hasn't shown specific plans on how he's going to do
