thatat's bad news for the gerern chancellor angela merkel, who will be meeting with the president today to talk about what comes next. we have more on the issues that broke down the talks. two months of talks, i glenn ochal's hopes for a power-sharing deal dashed. where did the german chancellor's hopes to form a coalition go so wrong? hoped to securere a working majority with the hope -- with the help of the pro-business ndp that itgreens come up was not to be. ever since the far right one its first seat in parliament amended inacklash against refugees there have been calls for

tougher migration controls. the csu had been demanding a cap of 200,000 refugees allowed into germany. government is keen to bring relatives into the country. family protection -- point, thecking environment. the greens were pushing for a reduction in coal generated power in combustion engines. the other parties expressed concerns about the impact that would have on jobs in the energy and manufacturing sectors. with thees merkel weakest 10 she has had in her 12 years as chesler, not least because they revealed the divisions within her own bloc.

for more on the story, let's go live to berlin with our correspondence jessica. this is unprecedented in germany. the government has always been able to create a coalition. what happens next? jessica: well, genie, that's the question everyone is asking, what happens next? has run out of options. it seems very ill-advised to have a minority government in germany, given that we have a very sizable division in parliament now. discussing her options with the president as we speak. he is reallyly the man who cocontrols their fate, but he hs

the responsibility and the task of deciding what happens next and whether to start the convnvoluted prorocess to devevp the parliament after the elections, but he does not want to do this. i had of the weekenend -- aheadf the weekend, he implored the parties to come together and form a coalition. he was aware that a new election would lead toto protracted political insecurity in germany that certainly would have effects beyond the country for old, but there are not many other options left. now there is some rumor thahat they are having quite serious talks between the social democrats and the conservatives to discuss whether there is any hope of a so-called grand coalition. and many are thinking the social

democrats think that they may be holding coalition talks with angela merkel's sdu party behind closed doors. say germany does go ahead with the new election. who would benefit most from that? jejessica: there would not be ay winners if there was a new election. less thebe more or same resulults as the september election, which would lead us back to wherere where you are n, turn to form a coalition.. the chancellor candidates would remain thehe same. i ithe spotlilight for not good reasons, the leader of the liberal party, who many people are pointing the finger of blame at for pulling the plug on last night fell talks.

really the only winners would be the far right party. they were in a state of glee when they gave an address today. they set -- they said that they felt vindicated and proven rigit then angela merkel i is not the right person to continue to lead the country. they say that this proves she has failed and she must go. genie: jessica, thank you for that, reporting for us from berlin. toeadline for robert mugabe resign anime today came and wentnt. that means his party must move forward with its promise to impeach him. doug, one thing seems clear with robert mugabe. he certainly seems to be trying to play for time.

doug: the war veterans council was quoted as saying the speech has nothing to do with reality. it does have something to do be's reality, but it is mega -- mugabe's reality. he has been an unchallenged and he isor 30 years playing a trump card right now because he knows one thing. his major trump card is the military from the beginning has wanted to call this an intervention, to restore order in the country, but they have avoided calling it a coup, and he knows he can basically keep on talking and keep wresting time becausend buy the alternative is to do what they do not want to do which is stage a coup against him and

depose him from power. he does not want to be seen as defeated. he will not go down without a fight. you do not remain in power 37 years unchallenged with a lot of people living in fear of your rule unless you know how to clean to power pretty well and have a pretty good way of outmaneuvering arrivals. this time he has gone too far. he picked a fight with someone a little too strong, a little too entrenched, someone perhaps a .ittle too much like him he is going to have to go eventually, obviously. he is trying to get concessions. perhaps right now negotiating the terms of his departure and what degree of immunity he will have -- full immunity he is probably hoping for, him and his and a dignified exit, not one that makes them look like a defeated strongmen going out with his tail between his legs. he goes.t's say there's no guarantee that the coununtry will become a thriving

democracy. this uprising against them came from within his own party. douglas: his own party. this is factional fighting. this is not a multiparty democracy with economic revival and changes and reforms -- that does not look like it will immediately happen. these are people -- the vice president who seems poised to return to power -- i have trouble pronouncing the name -- he is someone who has marched in lockstep, almost literally, with mugabe. orchestrator, accused of orchestrating one of the most brutal crackdowns on an ethnic group that were rivals to mug in mugabe in theo 1980's. behind a lot of brutal policies he thinks and acts a lot like .he man who was his boss

in the short-term, it does not look likely will have major blossoming of democracy. can you hope for in the long run? sure. for now, unfortunately it looks like more of the same. same party, almost the same type of party as mugabe poised to return to power. thank you, douglas herbert. at least 15 have been killed in an a stampede in morocco. another 10 were hurt when the crush took place as for today's w00t -- as food aid was being distributed in n a village south of casablanca. forsearch is underway missing submarine. battling high are wind and raging seas to find the
