but it hurt angela merkel's party. she must be mindful of this dynamic to keep her coalition partner alive. the coalition partner shots to govern with in eight months' time might need another transfusion nationally, getting people to vote strategically. each party tries to campaign on its own platform, but this is what happens in german politics. there is a heavy possible place to play -- possible price to play and it could cost the christian democrats. >> to serbia now, a war memorial has been taken away to fighters. armed police station operation to remove the monument. it has been the focus of tension in recent weeks, seen by serbia as a memorial to terrorists. in greece, two security guards were injured when the a bomb exploded outside athens and the bank of closed. the center was evacuated. to enter people were led to safety after warning calls were made to local media. more than 1000 protesters took to the streets demanding the resignation of the president of jordan. the constitution limits the president to five
