well without question i mean the coalition is a very an easy one between merkel and the c.s.u. led by. who is taking a much more critical attitude towards it immigration. but the remarkable thing about merkel is that despite her extraordinary incompetence and extraordinary mediocrity she has survived crisis off the crisis there in if you recall she had a similar crisis last july was again over immigration and she managed to ride that out so this is a problem for her but the solution that she's come up with which is a firing yet also a promotion is kind of typical of her. responses to anything. so massena was removed from his post but opposition parties called it a face saving measure that effectively keeps him in a powerful position is this how it looks like to you. yes largely because it had she fired him unceremoniously and removed him from any executive functions then she would have had real problems from the right of the. party. who would have been protests that merkel is removing critics of her immigration policy on the other hand if she had kept him in that position she wo

germany's interior minister dropped to an all time low after he clashed with merkel on a number of issues including migration. the c.s.u. party conference for us in munich mena recently the c.s.u. has taken on a more far rice few point facing the challenge from the anti immigration a.f.d. party has that failed as a strategy to think. well the series here consider themselves the most right wing party that should be sitting in a bit varian parliament and so that they're simply not used to competition from even further to the right of the political spectrum there were a lot of serious year facials to openly criticize angela merkel for her refugee policy in twenty fifteen and in the years since twenty fifteen and so now they have to bridge that gap between still representing democratic values but also a tough stance on migration and not lose people to the a gifty not lose voters and some people did take on an approach like costlier for the interior minister where sometimes he sounded extremely right wing populist and this strategy does not seem tough worked and that's what the polls show the sea issues are there to record

again sees merkel's coalition government lose its overall majority the conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. drops to twenty eight percent its worst result ever social democratic coalition partner s.p.d. is down to seventeen percent while the far right party has become the second strongest political force for the first time polling for the remaining parties has remained the same. weeks of public wrangling over what really happened on the streets of chemists with the f.d.a. and the extremist right closed ranks in demonstrations and the constant power struggle between matter and her interior minister horses. have hurt the government the promotion of germany's chief spy hunter a medical critic as a compromise way to remove him from office also appears to be backfiring on the very man who had the idea. machall critic and interior minister horsy who his approval ratings have plummeted eleven points since april to twenty eight percent. the head of the various conservative c.s.u. party is facing increasing criticism from within his own party ranks this latest poll again suggests the coalition wrang

social democrats who first sent a letter to i'm going to merkel and to the interior minister horsy hoover who is also the leader of the bavarian c.s.u. saying that they had to revisit this decision that they had made the wrong decision and that people in germany voters in germany were disappointed by that agreement that they had reached the screen this week obviously that agreement that they reached earlier this week was one that was met with a lot of criticism here in fact the solution turned to be even a bigger problem than the problem itself as far as many people are concerned and that is the reason why under them a call and the other two members of germany's grand coalition will sit down this weekend and try to find another solution after they had already found the first one . so we'll see how that pans out this weekend stay with us sir thomas of the take a look at the latest german opinion polls out today which make for a scary reading for germany's mainstream parties. the latest survey for german broadcaster i r d shows that only twenty eight percent of voters back the chancellor's conservative bloc that makes it their worst e

c.s.u. to be successful and therefore i will support i think us wherever possible to catholics and on all opposition parties declared cowardice defeat a clear sign that merkel's time as chancellor is coming to an end does this shows that mrs merkel can no longer rely on the support of her own group so i recommend that mrs merkel will vote of confidence that you're following the we call on the government to finally come to terms and to be a government again and not a divided bunch. for the m.p.'s of anglo-american is conservative party this is an unknown situation until now she had always the support of the majority that's not for sure and you know. joining me now is detail his political correspondent simon young from up on i'm interested yes simon how big a setback is this for america. there's no doubt this is a huge blow to angola medical's or thora see because there was somebody who'd been with her for so long he was the man responsible for making sure that conservatives in parliament voted the right way and you know the the vote the members of parliament have chosen a candidate that she didn't support but angle americal is not finished yet the new man says

in the conservative bloc that is to say within between chancellor merkel's christian democrats and the bavarian sister party the c.s.u. those divisions broke out in june and nearly brought the government down and they broke out again now over the last two and a half weeks just a reminder about how they played out in this particular case the head of the domestic intelligence service gave an interview to germany's largest tabloid newspaper in which he appeared to be playing down right wing violence that had taken place in eastern german city of camden at the end of august now supposedly he had okayed this interview in advance with his boss the interior minister who happens to be a leading figure in that varying conservative party his boss then essentially under pressure said ok he was willing to see this man move to a different position but in fact he wound up promoting him for higher pay and that led to this current scandal so the man in question has now been demoted once again but the government absolutely remains divided and if you look at polls the two parties that are joined here in this coalition would only get f

chancellor angela merkel has suffered another blow to her authority in her own ranks well this time members of parliament from her c.d.u. party along with this partner party the c.s.u. have voted for another candidate to take over the conservative blocs parliamentary group and this means defeating her close a long time ally volker cutter well the man taking over is ralph brink ouse winning one hundred twenty five to one hundred twelve votes spring house is considered a critic within the coalition of the german chancellor and selection is seen as a nother blow to miss merkel's government the loser in the vote counter had held his position as the leader of the blocs parliamentary group and as a close ally of the chancellor. let's get you more on these developments like to turn out to chief political correspondent and the linda craig melinda good to see you a german chancellor merkel's main ally in the buddhist tog voted out of office out of the blue apparently why. well because of rising dissatisfaction within the party dissatisfaction about the constant crises and divisions of this government's first six months in office dissatisfaction over plummeting support from
