from v.w. political correspondent to thomas spyros thomas we saw there in that report the s.p.d. saying this decision was a mistake and the chance for appearing to agree why well essentially because they all realize that they made a mistake that that decision that they agreed on earlier this week was not the correct decision to obviously realized that when they saw some of the reactions that came out not only reactions from for example members of the opposition but also within their own parties and obviously also within the german public there was a new poll for example that revealed that clearly revealed the traditional parties are losing support whereas other parties for example the far right of thirty four germany are gaining ground that poll of us the does not only refer to this mosque in case but it does refer to a general sense here in germany that the members of the grand coalition have a very big problem and that problem has to be solved they have to be moved from their own quarrelling on their own internal divisions and actually start dealing

with some of the problems that germans really are interested in so that's probably why they decided to renegotiate this agreement on on masin and try to come to a better solution almost. a fire that started three weeks ago during an exercise to test military rockets is spreading posing a danger to to residential communities in the german state of lower saxony dense smoke stirred by strong winds and found out over one hundred kilometers or storage they say they're considering moving around a thousand people to safety the next report comes from stuff one of the towns affected. the small town of stafford is on the front line of the fire the roads here are busy with emergency vehicles weather conditions could change in a moment spreading the fire further east. event.

is turning and finding the far. flung time could be until a tense moment. while watching closely how it develops. authorities of make contingency plans to evacuate the town flying sparks and smoke could pose a threat to the residents near the fire that has consumed eight square kilometers of dry more land although authorities say there's no immediate danger more than five hundred volunteer firefighters have been called up to contain the blaze preparations are being made for a worst case scenario for the mood for the it's just in case of an emergency we don't want to evacuation but we need to be ready if lines barks come our way for now the region is affected by storms but the rain isn't enough to extinguish the blaze the german military is being asked to explain why rockets were being tested in dangerously dry conditions they do because poland. is in the town of map and where the emergency response is being coordinated welcomed the weather's

changing how's that going to affect the situation. that's correct phil well contrary to what most people think as you can see now perhaps it's actually raining however the rain is not enough to actually extinguish the fire and the bad thing that is now happening is that this rain comes with thunderstorms and thunderstorms come with the wind and that strong wind is actually potentially going to increase and worsen the fire into the weekend in fact police and authorities are expecting winds of up to eighty five kilometers per hour now since we're talking about a military training area it is surrounded and fill with tunnels and underground areas that could easily inflate and therefore it actually potentially can be even more dangerous seems this fire was started by the army testing rocket so i'm guessing locals must be pretty angry. that's right
11:08 pm
absolutely many residents with whom i talked to earlier are basically asking one simple or allegedly simple question how could this be how could this be that a military exercise taken place in an area in which the the german military performs a lot of trainings how could it be that such a mistake happens and one that actually causes a fire that lasts a couple of weeks i've talked to several firefighters earlier and they were prepared to stay here for at least a week and a half they told me another worried resident basically said how could this happen we want answers and we want her to supplies supply us with some answers about this questions that we still have and we don't understand how this mistake could cause such a disaster done to regular thanks so much as take
