hong kong in a new wave of protest they're hoping to keep up to menton after the landslide victory of pro-democracy candidate you know lections a week ago. lewis hamilton puts the finishing touches on another dominant formula one season that left his rivals in his face. i'm rebecca races welcome to the program the future of german chancellor angela merkel's government has been cast in doubt to her coalition partner the social democrats elected 2 new leaders who are critical of the partnership norbit volta buy and saskia eschaton have indicated they want to say some major changes that could raise the prospect of an early election or a minority government if the coalition partners fail to reach a consensus. the social democrats have. cast doubt on the future of the graham

coalition their coalition partners the christian democrats are attempting to shrug off any such suggestion for an internet camp catherine but it's business as usual. but it's a view war is for the c.d.u. one thing is clear that we're going to stand by this coalition on the basis of what we've already negotiated. and we want to get back down to work quickly. but the new s.p.d. leaders norbert fatah boy and susskind s. been critical of the political partnership they have new demands on the minimum wage pensions and the climate in the us mr manison is that it's not possible to meet these demands if this is blocked in the party conference will have to think about how to overcome these differences for us policy is the important thing and that is what will decide whether this coalition has a future at others and yes p.d. want to prevent a party debate from happening. now is a lot of fine governesses was all about a personnel change in the s.p.d.

and it doesn't necessarily mean the party is going to rethink its policies exactly as it would. the trade unions are urging the s.p.d. not to abandon the grand coalition years learn taught in this country is in great need of modernization and for that we need an ambitious program of investment that's something this government must tackle in the 2nd half of its tenure you thought. in and of them. next week the social democrats will decide which of their demands will be tied to the survival of the ground coalition. well for more let's bring in our political correspondent simon young side and no i was really expecting this outcome what's the reaction been to. you know i think there's a lot of shock and even outrage that this grassroots decision is going against the establishment a lot of the newspapers saying things like you know the s.p.d.

is a bullish thing itself this is the party once led by the likes of brands and helmut schmidt today the leadership the new leadership is sort of unknown's and minnows that's the tenor of that. and you know people are analyzing this in terms of can the s.p.d. get back to the sort of strength of 40 percent support that they had just a few years ago well it remains to be seen these people have only just been appointed well they'll be they'll be confirmed in the jobs next weekend and go to mount and to climb some of the other reaction the left party leadership saying congratulations you know that's exactly what the s.p.d. needs is more left leaning policies which they're expecting from these new leaders and on the other side the business friendly free democrats saying that the s.p.d. is descending into chaos and dragging germany down with it so a lot of reaction and it's a question say tional really so and quite divisive reaction to you know different

from the not unexpected i suppose from both sides but the big question really is what is likely to happen to government right these 2 new leaders have said that they would like to renegotiate the coalition agreement which is the basis of the coalition between social democrats and chancellor merkel's conservatives and they want to get some more social democrat left policies in there the conservatives for their side to rule that out they said there's no renegotiation we want to carry on this coalition government on the basis that's already been stated so now you had one of the new leaders no but about a boy on saturday saying well if they're going to be a blockade from the conservatives then that's a bad song. and ready to they're already a little bit on collision course and we'll have to see a lot of people are expecting that the s.p.d. sooner or later it may be in a few months rather than a few days but they will take the decision to pull out of this coalition that will mean probably an early end to chancellor merkel's government and elections earlier

than planned currently this ep a 2021 rock. the election of these 2 shock late is really the new sort of unexpected election of a latest really shows a sort of division in the party and that the rank and file are pretty unhappy why they sound happy but i think it's partly you know the likes of shots the finance minister the deputy chancellor who represents the sort of continuity that was hoped for of the of the coalition government you know he represents exactly this idea that the s.p.d. just got to knuckle under and kind of play along with the conservatives because it's lost support in recent years but other people and clearly a majority of the grassroots have said no what we've got to do is come out fighting come out telling people why we are standing up for ordinary working people we've got to be leading on climate change we've got to be leading on things like labor policy and that is how we will win back voters because the s.p.d. in recent years has just been losing election after election national supports down

at 13 percent and you can't be one of the big parties in germany with that kind of support absolutely not sat simon young thanks very much for coming in. well turning now to some of the other stories making news around the world iraq's parliament has approved the resignation of the prime minister abdul mahdi i mean ongoing violence and anti-government demonstrations bill maher has said that his government will stay on until a new one is chosen you want. at least 19 people have been killed and another 18 injured after a bus plunged off a bridge in eastern siberia a vehicle landed upside down on a frozen river it was carrying 14 passengers when one of its tires burst and the driver lost control of the vehicle. protesters have a gang taken to the streets of multi calling for the government to step down over the killing of an investigative journalist a businessman with ties to top government officials has been charged as an
