ends and as can have been outspoken critics of the coalition all to boil and was quick to emphasize though that the s.p.d. won't rush into its decision on whether to stay in the coalition or not. after the ballot multiple and had this to say about the future of his party. that's does he and we are aware that this is not a question of victory or defeat rather it's a question of keeping this great social democratic party together. bringing it closer together where it's already splitting a little apart. this is not just a lot of fun this is a big challenge but one that applies to was internally but it also applies to different groups of people who have always had a bond with this party we want to revive these bonds and work together believe in void or not give your minds are one. well for more i'm joined by our political correspondent simon young simon thanks for coming in this announcement is quite a shock tell us

a little bit more about these 2 candidates or these 2 sort of later new late is and why it was such a shock yes it is a shock you're right and these 2 relatively unknown. skin and no but both a boy they pushed aside the better known finance minister and vice chancellor currently older shoals and his partner to a man woman teams up for this. in this vote this evening and this more left leaning pair of one out of that wasn't really what was expected according to the polls and it's potentially a short going forward because these 2 are much more skeptical about the future of the coalition government the social democrats are in coalition of course at national level with chancellor merkel's conservatives and they say you know they may not stay with that arrangement so it could be an early end to the era of methyl and her government and the pip the party in particular has been in payday i'm

talking about obviously has been you know in freefall and crisis of recent months and years i mean this is the 3rd time in 2 years we've saying in late is elected these 2 likely to affect change in the party well i think they really will i mean 1st of all there is this question about the future as i say of a national government they say they want to renegotiate a coalition agreement that they have with merkel's conservatives were put in a lot more social democrat policies and for instance have a big program of public investment and raise the minimum wage and various other things if they don't get that they may pull out and that will have all sorts of consequences for the national government as to the future of the social democrat party is this a they've been languishing in the polls doing very badly in election after election in recent years. and the. parties looking for some way to regenerate itself obviously the membership or at least he voted for these 2 they can be the ones to

create that change and the you know they've been quick to say that they're going to look at all all facets they're not going to quickly pull out of the coalition if they decide to in fact stay in the grand coalition do you think they'll be able to effect any change on the current government well i mean of course it's not up to these 2 to make that decision directly they'll be another delegate conference next weekend when their appointment will be confirmed and then there will be sort of a number of decisions taken at strategic level among them whether to stay in the national coalition or not and where to position the party going forward but these 2 as i say have got left wing policies and obviously some people hope that that will be a fresh impetus of red blood for the s.p.d. going for with simon and thanks very much for the analysis. and another german party the far right alternative for germany also elected new leaders at a party conference in the city of braunschweig the pair include tino cripple up

come the general elections and 2021 or earlier could be seen as a viable coalition option although the big tent parties rule that out for now but the very fact that john the leader of the extreme right wing of the 50 welcomes the leaders suggest that he too thinks that the stream right can build a political home in the a d. so over all this could once again be a further shifts to the right. now to some of the other stories making news around the world thousands of anti-government protesters in iraq take a pick up the pressure a day after prime minister addle abdul majeed marty announced his resignation they say his departure is not enough and are calling for sweeping reforms and an end to corruption. a fragment of wood believed to have been part of the manger in which jesus was born has been returned to the holy land the relic was sent to rome as
