a lot of work is still needed to secure the country germany has around 1300 troops in afghanistan and their mandate is currently due to end next march. or here in germany the future of the country's government is in doubt after chance or. governing coalition partners the social democrats elected 2 new leaders who are critical of the partnership with the chancellor's conservative party they've indicated that they want to see major changes raising the prospects of the current coalition collapsing potentially calls either an early election or a minority government. saskia s.k. and norbert font oh boy the newly chosen leaders of the social democrats will their election mean the end of germany's coalition government. the results of the s.p.d. poll came as a surprise as did the clear margin of victory the new leaders to be want to make

their own mark and chart a new course for the party they also want to reopen negotiations with chancellor angela merkel on future government policies that the scots has the responsibility of the social democrats to make policies for the lower and medium earners at this time and again we see clauses in our contract with the c.d.u. that are not in their best interests and that has to change with. the conservatives are willing to talk with the s.p.d. but say renegotiating parts of the coalition agreement is not an option the women's council and the chancellor is fundamentally prepared to cooperate and that's the way it should be in a coalition she is willing to talk as is usual in a coalition. brahe ya talk yes but we can renegotiate the coalition agreement incidentally that would also involve the s.p.d. discussing it all 1st with the rank and file again the opposition green say berlin is headed toward a government crisis. b.s.p. did the s.p.d. has to clear this up this week do they want to govern this country yes or no you

can't govern if you say it is maybe. the s.p.d. has veered left what this means for the german government should become clear over the coming days. earlier i spoke with our chief political correspondent linda crane and i asked her how much of a crisis is this it is a shock and it is certainly a crisis for the s.p.d. which has seen its share of crisis is over the last couple of years whether it is a crisis for the government and for the country as a whole does depend on a couple of different factors so the new leaders have said they don't in fact want to immediately precipitously leave the government what they do want is to renegotiate the coalition agreement meanwhile however spokesman for the government have said c.d.u. isn't about to agree to that so this could become a crisis in slow motion we will see the 2 governing coalition partners negotiating

with each other i think the c.d.u. is that it's open to that but if they can't come to agreement that would presumably lead to the s.p.d. leaving the government then the option would be either early elections or possibly a minority government led by the conservatives not a very stable option many people in germany would certainly not prefer to see that happen there was a w chief of course on the bill in the great reporting earlier tonight or mania has the highest rate of birth spices syrian section of any country in the european union with as many as 4 out of 5 newborns and some hospitals delivered this way critics say it's because of corruption in the health service doctors make more money from c. sections than from natural births. when a little aryan goes down the slide his father's always there to catch him at the bottom his mother manuel

a can only watch because of the syrian section she had when she gave birth to him that nearly killed her but the doctor decided to take this action and i don't know what has happened but something room has happened because their respective we have to decide to be a head for surgeries ever since manuel as started talking to the press about her experience many women have contacted her to share their stories doctors often insist on performing says on a well as doctor came into the clinic after hours apparently slightly drunk although the operation went badly he insisted she give him the traditional cash gift yes i think it's about the money when you go to hospital you need money from the nurses from the entrance to the hospital to can get into the hospital this is how it is a natural birth costs 300 euros but for a syrian you have to slip the doctor up to 1000 euros. at the clinic no one wanted

to be interviewed here like everywhere in romania the government has raised salaries for medical personnel over the last year but still 80 percent of births are ceasar ians. is a midwife she has to meet patients in a café if she wants to explain the advantages of natural birth she lost her job in a clinic after contradicting doctors who insisted on a c section i'm sure that. is because i want my doctor that knows me and who knows my my medical file. i. don't feel safe bribery is so common in romania as medical system that the government is clamping down and auditing facilities much more but even the health minister at mit's it's not enough to get the feel of the future of the us recently we had to close a birth station because of the risk of infection and. the employees were against it

. it was right before christmas they had 60 syrians lined up and needed the money. little aryan doesn't know why his mother can never pick him up but man a well and is glad she can at least kiss him it means she survived. football player in the world it is no big surprise leo messi he received a record 6th ballon d'or tonight in paris the most prestigious award in the game messi had already racked up a number of other awards this year but the other door is the most significant and he beats out he beat out the likes of 5 time winner has done a run all there was well as the driven diet of champions league winners liverpool and robert levin else is a bonus league champions buyer in munich 6 times while. well the top women's
