schultz who had been such a prominent figure in the party for so long someone who was not that well known in the outside of the party perhaps someone who her leadership style wasn't really know so now we have this situation is like ok well not sure it's not her if not them then who might is there any suggestion at all that she was pushed out. that certainly hasn't been the message that's been projected here today we heard from a couple of s.p.d. officials who spoke outside of the headquarters here and their message was really one much more of we're moving forward everything is fine everything will be stable everything is going to continue this is just business as usual her reasons have not been made clear yet whether they were personal or political professional but that is something that is going to come out one way or another in the next couple of days as this new succession question comes more and more into the foreground because there is not an heir apparent selected as there was with the c.d.u.

all right business as usual but it is of course unusual for both the c.d.u. leader and the chancellor to both come out and give statements one off to the out that what does this tell us about the situation. you know we also had i think also callie on the conservative side as parliamentary party group leader come out and he did of course mention. to handle quite a bit of internal and external criticism and then to now this in self in a statement said that she simply didn't have the kind of support that would have seen her reelected as part of mentor group leader that you know quite clearly was the reason why she decided to throw in the towel but that she does it so completely that a surprise to many people also here and that has led to a 5.0 c. also saying maybe it's a moment to pause and think you know what do we want to see politicians exposed to whether that was really still just criticism and whether they should have to take that. you know the media here is trying very hard not to take that especially

criticism but really there were some voices within her own party who wanted to see her out but then wouldn't step up and say well they would be candidates themselves so here is the city you had quarters lot of respect for and realists this evening but also a lot of concern and i think the very fact that we saw all 3 leaders the german chancellor leader of the c.d.u. party and the leader of the parliamentary group make individual statements essentially saying pretty much the same is indication enough to see that everybody here has recognized the gravity of the situation and the potential conflict consequences for the governing coalition itself and yet they have said they were absolutely committed to the to the grand coalition with the social democrats why are they why do they seem to be clinging on to something that just isn't working that well. well the line here is that they want to do a bit of governing for a change it took more than 6 months for germany to actually have

a functioning government. after this election 2017 it's nearing half time where reassessment was due anyway and the argument of the chancellor who spoke clearly as chance and not as the party political figure was that there are simply great challenges that need to be tackled in europe the most the core leadership of the european union is being decided over the next couple of weeks if there's a lame duck government in germany that would not be a good sign for the stability of the european union what it's and that's a concern that is driving everybody here but also nobody wants to see new elections simply mathematically looking. opinion polls at the moment it doesn't make sense for the conservative c.d.u. to strive for that and it also certainly doesn't make sense for the social democrat s.p.d. to strive for that because they would probably be the big losers once again. and

the big winners could potentially be the green party so if we're talking about 1st elections the most likely scenario then potentially would be and i say potentially because elections are elections a government that doesn't see this is the democrats anywhere nowhere near the lead and potentially conservatives and the green party finding some common ground which they had already done during those months of negotiations of seeing an alternative to the so-called grand coalition which would have been called the mike which would have also include the business friendly for the democrats but that of course didn't happen and there's quite a few people here who are regretting that tonight all right chief political editor mccain i could and my a. political reporter thanks so much. ok let's have a look at some of the stories making news around the world today several people have been injured in venice off to a large cruise ship round into a tourist riverboat the accident took place on

club tasted european glory for the very 1st time after last year's heart breaking loss in the final the win also broke club's drought 6 defeats and cup finals and the match got off to a controversial start just minutes off to kick off let's take a look. a dream start for liverpool fans who saw their side awarded a penalty for handball after just 24 seconds mohammed solo took responsibility and smashed a powerful drive down the middle of spurs keeper hubler reseize goal the egyptian forwards 5th goal of the european campaign putting little pulling the driving seat after a blistering start the game to connect k.g. with neither side threatening for large parts of the game taught them only came to life late on with sunshine men waiting until the final 20 minutes to give liverpool defender something to worry about with the game entering its final throws liverpool dealt a killer blow substitute develop a really good driving home from a tight angle the semifinal hero rising to the occasion to silver once again to

nail the final school liverpool the champions of europe for a 6th time. and talk about the big match i'm joined in the studio by dint of the sports reporter not corrigan mark liverpool coach lost his previous 2 european finals so he must be over the moon is a happy man as you can imagine yeah it lost as you mentioned the last 2 european finals and he also lost his last 6 consecutive finals in all competitions so he was delighted was here what he had to say. i don't want to explain why we wanted i only want to enjoy that we wanted all the rest is not important it's for all the people around the world in the stadium with. knowledge celebrating like crazy and. liverpool and we would celebrate together we would have a sensational night. so happy man but how significant is this when picked up is the

crucial victory for a club i would say it's a breakthrough victory even it's strange that a man has been labeled a loser that has won 2 been does league titles with bruce development and the german cup but people like this with these last 6 finals they lost people were starting to wonder if he was buckling under pressure. and those victories with dortmund are so long ago and know that people were starting to mutter has he got what it takes at the top is completely shattered all those all the talk. and yet time for him pop props and to build a legacy he champions league winners in the panthea no liverpool alongside joe fagan but paisley rafa benitez as a manager this won the european cup what you want to do now is kick on from the and try and win the premier league the elusive title that liverpool haven't won since 1990 if he does that will be a mortal now with when others obviously or. how hard was this the time to take there's a real sort of one a real sort of i think liverpool kind of expect to be relatively regularly in

champions league finals one of 6 times. the force they were ever in the champions league final a lot of fans will think maybe it's the last game as well this seems like a once in a in a lifetime opportunity almost for them. having squeaked through against x. and manchester city going away goals maybe like their name was on the trophy so it's a real bits of disappointment the team didn't really torn up the carried injuries and they didn't play well and there's also a question mark now over the manager might suppose it's you know spores really were a byword for incompetence when he took over he's turned around but there's a question mark over whether he's going to stay he hasn't confirmed one way or the other so that could be a high price to pay for spurs but liverpool fans will care about $1.00 job all right a huge lie on both sides and huge nations as well not current thanks so much thank you. to cycling now and richard kerr a pass' become the 1st ecuadorian to win the jerry d.-a talia after coming through the final stage unscathed in verona despite finishing 49 seconds behind his closest
