this is the news line from berlin germany and governing coalition partners reach a new deal on the fate of the country's embattled domestic intelligence chief. mosse and will be made a special advisor to be interior minister with the same pay as before instead of getting a promotion and raise political editor what you don't mean for chancellor merkel's government also on the program pope francis pays tribute to victims of oppression in the baltic countries in the ukrainian capital vilnius francis wanted all those who suffered under the now feel so good occupation to get more of his troops from

our correspondents. welcome to the program the leaders of germany's governing coalition have reached a deal over the future of the country's domestic intelligence chief last week there were calls for hans field mohsen to be sacked after he apparently downplayed we sent out to my grandfather once he was removed from his post and then set to get a promotion in vain to me a ministry that sparked widespread public anger prompting new negotiations. so here's what interior minister has to hold for told the press a short while ago. it's a good presidents the current president of the federal office for the protection of the constitution. mohsen will henceforth serve as a special advisor to the interior minister with the rank of department head there

he will be responsible for european and international matters. our chief political editor mckay local snow has been following that story for us and she now joins me in the studio it's good to see you so we've just heard lawson will join the interior minister but no pay raise for him is this enough to silence the critics was certainly and i'm not sure that will silence the critics but it goes some way to at least sending the message that one has listened to people who were outraged that somebody who openly contradicted the chance that the head of a domestic intelligence agency who started playing politics really by making statements that really weren't backed up by facts that he produced later on would then be moved sideways or upwards through a promotion but it also shows how poisonous the situation currently is in the governing coalition because one thing that hospital for sid said today as well is that at no point in time was there any danger for the governing coalition with the

social democrats and nobody around the table ever threatened with this which raises the question why did we all bother talking about this for a whole week and so why has this episode surrounding the domestic spy chief spot so much outrage here in germany because it's the symptom of the condition in which the governing coalition finds itself on monday will be one year since the general elections here in germany it took six months to get a government up and running i'm going to michael's political brand is stability and the governing coalition that she's been heading so far with the old and new partners around the table has been anything but stable in fact we've seen yet again this governing coalition being taken to the brink over what really should be a stuffing issue that should never even reach the international press and this is all about domestic actually regional politics that turn tira minister from this sees you sister party in bavaria is playing right now who may well face his doomsday come those elections because his own party is suffering in the polls so

we'll still see kind of a lot of movement and this is something that highlights that i'm going to machall power has been weakened throughout this process this is something that we're also hearing from the european partners. with the very latest in the moving parts of this episode thank you. pope francis has confronted head on the atrocities committed during the nazi and then soviet occupations of lithuania francis is on a tour of the baltic states as lief away india latvia and estonia mark a hundred years since winning independence from russia his message to the faithful remember the suffering as a way to guard against hate in today's political landscape. as many as one hundred thousand people attended pope francis's mass and count us a huge turnout but that's less than half the number of lithuania's jews murdered in the holocaust lithuania uses this day when seventy five years ago the nazis fully

liquidated the ghetto in the capital vilnius to remember that destruction it was the pope's moment to remind a country now eighty percent catholic of the dangers of forgetting the murder of more than two hundred thousand jews but. let us think back on those times it and ask the lord to give us the benefit of hindsight to prevent the return of the resurgent attitude in. the quote we must remove any with of and has some a tism among those who did not experience the holocaust and can therefore be seduced. the pope prayed silently at the vilnius ghetto memorial and met members of lithuania's existing jewish community today numbering about three thousand one woman who survived the ghettos liquidation now ninety six years old was there and left if this is important. it's shameful

that in the well today there are people who say the holocaust is a lie that there were no ghettos and no such thing happened but what is most important is that the pope came here in prayer and it shows that he supports us more and i know you know this thank you. pope francis then toward a former k.g.b. prison in vilnius it's now a museum documenting the hundreds of lithuanians who were murdered there and thousands more including many priests shipped to forced labor camps in siberia the soviets for a decade occupation is still fresh for many lithuanians. and we really appreciate that then shown on the pope on the what you can call in the. and then sexually hell the fourth all of freedom and especially the catholicism and that christianity is actually help us. to fight against the soviet regime

and. the pope leaves lithuania for a lot and estonia fewer catholics live there but the pope hopes his message to remember will still resonate. so far on this style pope francis has had little or nothing regarding the catholic church sex abuse scandal here in germany though the influential spiegel magazine has published an extensive report titled the house shalt not bear false witness now he details the pope's alleged gross mishandling of abuse cases and we spoke with correspondent constantine fun agates in vilnius about whether the pope's baltic trip has diverted attention from the ongoing scandal i think of for the pope it's rather like indication from this scandal it did not attract a lot of attention in the baltic states until it's ready which is a seventy five percent catholic because the catholic church is the usual recreate its yeah after the soviet union withdrew twenty five fell

a bit more years ago so there is much less history of that history with the catholic church institutions here so i think that's very much for the pope this trip was really exception and it turned away from this scandal. time now for some of the other stories making headlines around the world the main opposition candidate in the maldives ibrahim mohammed ali is claiming victory in the country's presidential election local media said official results showed he scored an upset win over president abdoulaye on. his first term in office was marred by a crackdown against dissenters. iranian president hassan rouhani has lashed out at the u.s. following saturday's deadly attack on a military parade in the city of. gunmen killed twenty five people including twelve soldiers civilians and a four year old girl rouhani said the quote bully us and its gulf state allies had
