annette has been looking at this. annette, what reaction have we got?> actually, a little bit of a surprise is that angela merkel in a last-minute deal has actually shifted a little bit the personalities and there is more buys with younger members as well. there was a lot of discussion that this coalition agreement is a coalition agreement against the young in favor of the older people and probably she wants to make sure now that the young generation as welling is having a responsibility during the next four years when it comes to decision on policy making. so when we look at the personalities, one could from the first glance say that's hey big win for the social democrats, but the win as welcomes with risks. the head of the social democrats who is heading up the economy ministry is now responsible for turning up the messed up energy politics. so this is a big risk because it might be a make or break when it comes to potential -- yeah, when it comes to the success of the social democrats because all eyes are of course on the next election in 2017 becaus

annette is in frankfurt. thing is what the pmis are telling us is a sharp divergence in growth between the likes of germany and france. and that growth might be 0.2%. how do they deal with that? >> it's a good question. i think they are quite worried about the growing diversion of the eurozone. we had that discussion recently that it doesn't help a lot to look at average acts. we've got data for the eurozone. it doesn't tell you the true story. but the mandate to the look at those aggregates and they will keep on doing so. but there will be, as well, a growing divergence in the governing council. one of my guests today was pointing at the fact that by now, peripheral countries are dominating the governing council. that might explain the surprise move of the ecb during the last governing council meeting and press conference here in frankfurt. going forward, that might mean more easing. the staff projections are likely showing us inflation is going down, as well, in 2014 and most likely as well we'll get an inf

annette, and their , family. we should give a round of applause to the entire lantos family here today. [applause] when the proceedings began, it was said we meet on the day after the loss of a giant among us, someone who by the power of his example demonstrated unequivocally how each of us can choose how we will respond to those injustices and grievances, those sorrows and strategies -- and tragedies that afflict all of humankind. nelson mandela will be remembered for many things. he will be certainly remembered for the way he led, his dignity, his extraordinary understanding, not just of how to bring democracy and freedom to his beloved south africa, but how important it was that he first brought freedom to himself. as i spent time with him, starting in 1992, until just in the last year and a half, i was always struck by the extraordinary depth of his self- knowledge, of his awareness about how hard it is to live a life of integrity, of service, but to combine within one's self the contradictions he lived with

so, you know, that's how i see it, anyway, annette. there you go. it's the same skills, just with a different topic. hi. thanks for that. >>> meanwhile, ecb president mario draghi has urged lawmakers to finalize the details of a banking union as soon as possible. giving evidence to the european parliament, he warns the latest plans to wind up failing eurozone banks may be overly complicated. >> we should not create a single resolution mechanism that is single in name only. in this respect, i am concerned that a decisions making may become overly complex. and financing arrangements may not be adequate. >> and it comes always the latest data from the european banking authority reveals that banks have been using increasingly cheap funds from the ecb to buy sovereign debt. 89% holding government debt in june, up from 78% in 2010 and italy with 76% up from 59%. the numbers will add to concerns that the link between weak banks and sovereign has not been broken. there is some reason to be optimistic about the spanish sector. six firms have lodged bids for

annette at that is following the story this morning. he held that big press conference in the berlin hotel last night. what was the atmosphere like as he spoke and what can you tell us about his further plans? >> well, the atmosphere was actually pretty intense. i was watching the press conference yesterday live and there were -- the room was packed with journalists, even journalists were scurrying outside the room. there was a lot of interest from national and also international journalists. he was pretty sober on his plans. for now he's not planning on returning to russia because he's afraid that there's still a legal claim of half a billion u.s. dollars and also his family, of course, his wife is living already in sbiwitzerland. so for now the family is reuniting here. not here, berlin i should say. looking into where to move. most likely it will be switzerland or perhaps as well united kingdom. so when it comes to his plans, what he said yesterday during the press conference, made it pretty clear that he's not planning on returning

so, that dynamic i was like look ayman annette, i got to get out of it, i've got to make choices and sacrifices. so, i constructed my brain to think well, it was just sex that i didn't like. and for many years, several years, you know, i just harbored this resentment and all these emotions and all this pain and i even got into a relationship that spiraled really a downward. and for many years the depression got worse where it would go from three days of i'm just laying in bed for no reason to six months of what i do for six months and of this overwhelming cloud of sadness that blocked everything and i can't recall six months of my life. and it went from six months to a year and a year to another year and it got to the point where in 2010, my depression got so bad, my apartment was a mess and i literally -- my daughter was taken away by acs she was removed from my home for six months and it literally was so bad for me about suicide was a huge option. and then instead of that, you know, the resiliency of people is amazing. and my resiliency to say no. i am not a bad person because thes
