angela merkel and the centerleft get ready to govern together again.look at the challenges that merkel would be facing. reporter: as angela merkel embarks on a fourth term, the first challenge she faces will be to restore discipline within her own party, the christian democratic union. following its poor result in federal elections last september, the cdu found itself weekend, struggling to form a government. when initial talks collapsed, months of deadlock ensued. the social democrats were left as the only possible partner. but to get the spd to sign on to another coalition, the chancellor had to make concessions, seeding key ministerial roles, including the cost of miniature of finance -- minister of finance. >> the fourth grand coalition in germany did not start as a marriage of love. [laughter] csu, and spd, are despite their differences in a position to work constructively together, and govern decently. that is the job we have, and we will fulfill it. reporter: the cdu will also have to battle the rise of the extreme right. frustration with angela

it is well that that many social democrats blame angela merkel.rtin schulz, the former leader, martin schulz, the former leader of the european parliament. he resigned because this has been such a pickle, for want of a better phrase. a new leader in waiting has been appointed and she will have to unite the party but angela merkel herself has got to unite this government. it will be a difficult task and he has got to regain the trust of voters, who i think by and large over the last few months in particular have been rather disillusioned by the political wranglings of germany's two biggest establishment parties. jenny, thank you very much. you are watching bbc news. it is 24 minutes past midday. a full sports round—up for you from the bbc sport centre with olly foster once again. hello. deonte wilder says he's ready to take on anthonyjoshua in the heavyweight unification fight that all boxing fans want to see. that's after the american retained his wbc belt overnight. luis ortiz was also unbeaten and he looked to have him on the ropes in the sevent

into simply becoming a junior partner in a coalition that keeps being led by a german chancellor angela merkel so this is a question of of heart over head if they voted with their hearts were more likely to see a negative outcome here but most broadly expect certainly the entire party leadership who signed under that plea really to their party base to give them this yes vote they are hopeful they're optimistic that this one will pass without that political quake that would otherwise certainly unfold here this sunday we have been hearing michelle a lot of confident voices coming from the s.p.d. head of the result that we are still waiting for how far away are we from hearing that result. well we are minutes away but i can't tell you how many minutes we're expecting a slight delay there what i can certainly tell you is that we don't expect the three quarter plus majority in favor that we saw in two thousand and thirteen when the social democrats decided to go into that past coalition and there's an expectation that this won't just be a lot less that this could indeed become a tight vote i

and then of course there's the chancellor, angela merkel herself. german chancellor, but she has been severely weakened by this process, very damaged, domestically and also in the world stage she has been preoccupied with domestic events for so preoccupied with domestic events for so long now it is most hard to imagine her back leading the european agenda. that is what she hopes to do and certainly what she wa nts to hopes to do and certainly what she wants to deliver, a stable government in germany, it is what she promised to germany. she has given them the government but she has her work cut out to deliver on stability, ruling this country back together and restoring faith but only in her government but in our leadership. the polls have opened in italy in a general election characterised by a divisive campaign, dominated by immigration and the economy. the centre—left government faces a stiff challenge from a right—wing coalition and the populist 5—star coalition and the populist 5—star coalition which could emerge as the biggest party. let's hear

angela? >> i don't know what the priorities are, but we know what donald trump has said for a long time since he was on the campaign trail. we know his own challenges with housing policy given the two times he was sued by the department of justice for housing discrimination. here's what also we know. self-sufficiency does not in and of itself free you from discrimination. when they were considering the fair housing act of 1968 on the senate floor, there was a great senator by the name of edward brooke who, guess what, happened to be a republican. during the debate of that bill, edward brooke was talking about how he himself had experienced housing discrimination, how he himself, after returning from world war ii, could not get a home for his family. so, we understand well in this country it has nothing to do, right, with self-sufficiency. it has everything to do with systemic oppression that is still alive and well in this country. if we don't work clearly and creatively and structurally in o
