angela merkel is seen as a stable force in a very unstable world.e is up and unemployment is down. so, mainstream voters here look at the rest of the world with the uncertainties of brexit and trump and think that germany might just be better sticking with the leader they know they can rely on. but what we don't know is what sort of government angela merkel will end up leading. she will have to form a coalition and all of her potential partners have very different policies. that means coalition talks could get rocky. what is clear, is that the new anti—migrant afd party looks set to enter the parliament for the first time. but it won't end up in government. the afd is accused of being nationalistic and sometimes even racist. so no other party will work with them. germany is the most powerful country in europe and that's a continent facing huge challenges from solving the refugee crisis to reforming the eurozone. the government that moves in here after the election will have a direct impact on the whole of europe including britain. and damien mcguinn

by doing so, this would allow the parties to seek a more stable, peaceful region. that was the expectation of the parties, and regrettably since the agreement was confirmed, we have seen anything but a more peaceful, stable region. this is the issue. that is why we talk about iran defaulting on these expectations, because those expectations have not been met. since that time, iran has continued to prop up the assad regime, and the horrible way it has brought violence to its own people. they have continued to engage in malicious cyber activity. they have aggressively and tested ballistic missiles in defiance of security council resolution 2231, thereby threatening the security of the united states and the stability of the region. they have provided weapons and training forces to deploy to create instability throughout the region in yemen, and syria, and iraq. and i think we're seeing them carrying out provocative operations in the gulf itself against our enabling coalition vessels as they tried to peacefully transit the gulf, threatening the freedom of navigation thr

doesn't have anything to do with that now later on assuming that there is a stable coalition and she's getting down to the business of governing and addressing the divisions that have grown in her country over the past two or three years then i believe we may see her making attempts to reach out in some the way to the more moderate voters i don't expect we're ever going to see you know from miracle any of the rhetoric that we've seen you know the anti islamic rhetoric or the you know the kind of purely racist rhetoric we won't see that from her but but she faces a real dilemma because she is seemed to be you know reaching out to the s.d. too much then perhaps people on the left or the green party the s.p.d. will use that to criticize her very harshly and she may alienate voters on the left that's really the fine line that she's going to have to walk she is walk fine lines before. but that perhaps will be one of her biggest challenges going going forward thorsten bennett just how much of a challenge do you think it will be for miss merkel to form this coalition with the free democrats a
