negotiating table for another round of wrangling now a new deal has been announced that includes no promotion and no increase in pay. admitting a mistake and then apologizing for it is something you rarely see in german politics but that's what german chancellor angela merkel did when she called last week's personnel decision about hans-georg mohsen unconvincing. president foghat in last tuesday's decision i was too focused on the workings of the interior ministry. and i gave too little consideration to what people think rightly so when they hear that someone is getting promoted. i deeply regret that this could happen. the night before interior minister is a who for delivered the compromise over the future of germany's soon to be former domestic intelligence chief. gets a few presidents the current president of the federal office for the protection of

the constitution. will henceforth serve a special advisor to the interior minister with the rank of department head there he will be responsible for european and international matters. to scrutiny said. last week there were calls for hans-georg mohsen to be sacked after he apparently downplayed the recent migrant filings in the city of chemist's he was to be removed from his post and then to get a promotion in the interior ministry that sparked widespread public anger prompting new negotiations between. you there bavarian sister party the c.s.u. led by horst c. who for and the social democrats s.p.d. leader andrea knowledge gave her reaction in berlin following z. ho for his announcement. i have spoken again with the c.d.u. and c.s.u. leaders and i think that it's

a very good sign that we took the criticism of our decision on tuesday seriously and could result it i would like to thank i'm going to call and horsey hoffa taking up my initiative to see men in the city for. an initiative that in theory at least should spell the end of the modern crisis and help lift the latest cloud over unless. it's a will the clouds now be lifting to be a political correspondent simon young joins us now for more assignment on america there conceding she made a mistake but will this be enough to silence her critics well i think it should help calm things down brian you know it's not very often that the chancellor comes out makes a public apology like she's done to a couple of years ago she was sort of forced to admit that the country not been prepared for the large number of refugees who were arriving and she said she was sorry about that but here she said that what she's done is really

a response to the fact that people in the country at large couldn't really understand why this man. who had seemed to make unwise or even dangerous comments had received a promotion and she said that she was sorry that she hadn't taken that into account in italy let's just have a listen to some of what the chancellor was saying today. of these to go it's not me it's all the more important of course that we now start solving people's problems we have resold some of them but in some areas during the past months we were too concerned with ourselves that has to change. or there is a plural pronoun here we have not been solving people's problems now this public outrage has been focused on anglo-american but she says one of a number of people and it's in the coalition who are getting the blame right now and and this is all underscored the gap has an appt when politicians in the

coalition and the broader public has this decision addressed that gap. well i think this is a decision that all saw aids it appears can live with the debate was really about what kind of job this man could move into in future and obviously his supporters particularly horsy over the leave it leader of the bavarian conservatives wanted him to retain he's status or even get a promotion the promotion has been. cancelled now and he'll just stay at the same pay grade which is just about acceptable to many in the social democrat party although it's pretty clear that on that side of things people are still very unhappy and there are comments emerging from the social democrats today you know suggesting that they're still not really comfortable with this but i think it's a sort of compromise that everyone can live with it is the chancellor was saying what really matters i think to people around the country is that the government

gets on with some real work rather than squabbling and fighting about these rather technical matters i mean mention the social democrats not being happy but it's not just them we're hearing that a crisis has been avoided but voices inside the s.p.d. and the conservatives say this government is hanging by a thread. well that's quite a drastic sort of way of putting it certainly it does look like a kind of crisis you've had three crisis meetings in the last ten days and you've has certainly had people within the coalition parties talking about the end of the coalition if certain things are not achieved but as i think as i say the chancellor was saying today it's time to get back to the nitty gritty of real political issues housing jobs pensions breaks it was an issue that the chancellor mentioned when she was speaking earlier there are plenty of things for people to do and frankly the

electorate won't understand it in this particular squabble about an internal matter in the ministry carries on being fought out in public some young for a stray simon thanks very much for. now to some of the other stories making the news today russian opposition leader alexei in a volley has been detained just moments after walking free from jail he'd been serving a thirty day sentence for organizing in an authorised protest is supposed woman says he's now accused of violating a different protest law and could face another twenty days in prison. u.s. senators are investigating new claims of sexual misconduct again supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh a former classmate says he exposed himself to her at a college party kavanagh's already facing allegations of sexual assault brought by university professor christine blasi forward he's not any wrongdoing.
