a standstill book pressure to resolve the impasse proved too much for chancellor merkel and her country's frontal governing coalition. and in the bundesliga they go away fans were in a parking lot in guys who cares and it might have been miles from bulgaria the bonfire munich celebrated the start of october fest with a constable with ethel the shotgun will take a look at the best of the action and. thanks for joining us i'm mary and i haven't seen. pope francis has paid tribute to lithuanians who suffered during the country's soviet and nazi occupation he laid a wreath of the monument of the illness ghetto where the country is jewish population was almost wiped out under the nazis francis is on a tour of the baltic states as lithuania latvia and estonia march

a century since winning independence from russia after world war one. at a mass earlier today francis urged residents of the baltics to draw on their past experience to stand up for tolerance in europe. piccoli the people who were not the smallest the poorest in our mates whom we should welcome a hundred years after our independence who is it that has nothing to give us to make our effort and our sacrifices worthwhile perhaps it is the ethnic minorities and our city or the jobless who have to emigrate maybe it is the elderly and the lonely are those young people who find no meaning in life because they have lost their roots. well for more on the pope's tour of the baltics to double your correspondent constantine funny joins us now from vilnius good evening to you

constantine so we just heard the pope there calling for tolerance in his address but was leaving his comments beyond just the baltic states well i think yes i think that he was going along the part you already managed to read in quite a few other be just around since that's his main theme and he stuck to it all through the meetings including meeting of the priests the religious in conus when he was always talking about welcoming a stranger welcoming the poorest ones i think it's quite a significant departure from the previous two princes against it we're more focused on the questions of history on moral issues that face catholics here it's more about tolerance and the necessity to welcome diversity well after that massive encounter francis also made a stop at the villa as

a jew is dead a memorial as well as at the former soviet k.g.b. headquarters of the occupation museum now how important were those visits for lithuanians. both of their importance because twenty third of september today is seventy five years since the video's jewish ghetto was destroyed by the nazis and if you local collaborators and pope francis pray there of the monuments with the head of the jewish community of lithuania it is in memory which is difficult to tackle for many countries that the measure of the shit of communism i think this one is doing it more or less ok compared to some others but it is an important reminder to the society and i've spoken to a few people that were in the audience or said they saw it that way too as for the museum of occupation it does remind. about the most painful. and into the past the soviet occupation with its massive depreciation of that exit q

sions the pope visited the execution chamber in this museum and he made a speech there about also then the sensitivity of tolerance of welcoming others i think with some ice i've seen other pope's on different visits before john poland and benedict and they were more if you wish country specific when they were in europe they spoke is more about generic injustice generic suffering this is his philosophy he goes beyond countries and the young history. will concentrate what we haven't heard much about during the pope's visit to the baltics is the catholic church sex abuse scandal and here in germany the influential news magazine death spiegel has a cover story headlined that shall not lie in german of course and it attacks the pope's handling of the abuse crisis is this trip taking attention away from that scandal briefly and can things. yes it does i think that in the baltics this is

not such a big story maybe it will be in the coming days but definitely the reception that the pope received in lithuania eclipses this bad news which you probably have to tackle later i would be comes back from his visits to lock in the story. correspondent constantine flynn eggert reporting from vilnius lithuania many thanks indeed thank you. now should he stay or should he go the leaders of the three german coalition parties are discussing the fate of the country's embattled domestic spy chief right at this moment last week there were calls for hans-georg mohsen to be sacked after he questioned the authenticity of a video apparently showing farid violence in the city of chemists he was removed from his post but then received a promotion to the interior ministry well that infuriated even more people including members of the social democrats their leader and analysis then demanded

that the decision on mohsen be renegotiated the fallout from the case has threatened to topple merkel's coalition government. our chief political editor michelle there has been following the story for us and she joins me now for more on all this so michelle the coalition leaders are still in talks at this very moment but has anything a leaked about a possible new solution for the muslim case what we think is the vision is very near and here mr haas the office certainly called for the press to join him for a press statement due to start just within a couple of minutes from now so we're very near to some kind of resolution which will most likely and that's what the kind of indication that we're hearing mean that yes you joins his ministry that he still is backed by going to mckelvie rebellious interior minister. but that he's promoted sideways rather than upwards so no not extra money for somebody who's played politics

a spy chief whose pay pal takes and who openly contradicted the chancellor all right so that seems like it could be quite a simple solution perhaps if it is indeed the case now for international viewers explain why this episode surrounding the domestic spy chief has sparked this much controversy here is it really just about this one bureaucrat well actually germans were having a hard time understanding why the staffie is such a big issue in and threatens to yet again potentially break up the medical government and that's because this clearly is simply a symptom of the ongoing tension between her and particular her interior minister horse they will far from the conservative c.s.u. sister party of bavaria with three weeks away from elections there but it does show that america has lost authorities within the coalition is under increasing pressure and really everybody here in berlin is just waiting for this election coming up in bavaria that's what horsy who tries to make politics about completely these days

and we expect that he might actually even be gone their office will find out soon enough indeed the level editor of the thank you as always for breaking it all down for us. well now to some of the other stories making headlines this hour and iranian president hassan rouhani has lashed out at the united states following saturday's deadly attack on a military parade in the city of oz gunmen killed twenty five people including twelve soldiers civilians and a four year old girl rouhani said the quote bully u.s. and its gulf state allies had in the able the attack well for its part washington has dismissed the allegations swiss voters have rejected two proposals aimed at protecting farmers and promoting ethical and sustainable food voters appeared to be put off by concerns about the cost and government opposition to the so-called fair

food initiative the government argued that the proposal could limit choice raise prices and in danger of swiss trade agreements. britain's opposition labor party has kicked off its annual conference with calls for a second break that referendum set to dominate the gathering party leader jeremy corbyn is now signaling he to back another vote if that's what the rank and file decide and that could raise the pressure on prime minister theresa may whose own blueprint on leaving the e.u. has reached an impasse. the pressure is growing on labour's leadership even before the party conference in liverpool officially got underway voices were growing louder demanding a second breaks at referendum. many members argue voters should once again have their say on whether or how their country should leave the new. eighty three percent behind the idea of

a people's votes the party has to listen to its members nobody voted to be poor nobody voted for food prices to go up sixteen percent jeremy corbin who has his own reservations about the e.u. favor snap elections to replace to reason may as prime minister the issue is set to dominate the conference agenda and labor commitment to a possible second brics that referendum could put may under further pressure zoids preference would be for a general election and we can a negotiator future relationships with europe but let's see what comes out of congress were democratic party very big because converts who have had to resign may is already under huge strain after the recent salzberg summit the times newspaper even claims that downing street is making contingency plans for possible snap elections with the conservatives leading labor in the polls may break that minister denies this is a gesture i think what we need to do is hold on keep all call continue to negotiate

in good faith and really press the e.u. to be clearer on what their objections are for now all eyes are on labor with the conservatives convention following next weekend many conservatives are urging me to change course and pursue a hard break that. all right some soccer news now and sunday's bundesliga action by our labor crews and picked up their first points of the season when they beat in four minds one they'll at home germany's chi how there is grab the goal and sixty two minutes to fire laver couzin up to fifteen spot frankfurt leader drew one one with leipsic in the final game of match day four and last evening byron travel to shell in a battle of the top two from last season but so far this terms been very different for shall go they're stuck at the bottom with no points and byron made sure they stay there. first there was be inevitable off the pitch me on great square

booed on his return to show. and then came the inevitable on the page by and taking the lead after just eight minutes comments rodriguez with the bullet header. shall yet to record any points let alone a victory the writing was already on the wall. by and continued to press reset pieces providing their best chances just before half time gretzky course another reminder he's not so welcome here anymore can you tell a jury give me a yellow card for his efforts. by and could afford results in the second half not least because shocker we're doing a lot of the work for them despite the seemingly unthreatening situation and it sounds very sure it's bundled over rodriguez in the box. robert levon dusty converted the resulting penalty i had to deal with little more than an hour gone

the game was effectively over it's rare for shelter fans to leave before the final whistle but these had seen enough to buy and it was a measured victory over the nearest challenger last season shall still pointless missing more than just lay on correct. all right here's a look at the bundesliga standings following the fourth round of games champions byron are clear at the top with a maximum twelve points but many of the other side's in the top half will be surprised to be there towards the bottom liver couzin move on but salta are now the only side with no points. you're watching the news coming to you live from berlin well have another update for you at the top of the hour but for now we leave you with these images from a kite fair here in the german capital over the weekend take care.
