c.d.u. to decide at this very moment in time whether this coalition will continue the social democrats are yet again in another crisis we heard. she's known here. basically an expectation towards the s.p.d. to essentially get its act together to elect a new d.j. and then to continue in government and critics within the social democrats of this whole concept of yet again another so-called grand coalition with party which never really paid in at the ballot box for the social democrats in recent years they are saying that exact exactly the problem just simply soldiering on simply won't work for the s.p.d. they are in an essential crisis and the current government angela merkel's self declared last term in office german chancellor how long that will last is currently being discussed and decided in the s.p.d. headquarters my i'll just turn to you now i mean as mahela mentioned the crisis in the s.p.d. what will the social democrats now do are they likely to change course to try and win back voters. well this is a big question that has to be answered in short order here by the s.p.d. we've already h

c.d.u. and her conservatives at least very keen to continue on with this so-called grand coalition all right kate brady we're going to be speaking to you again a little later but we're going to take a look now at the korea of under way analysis who has her now announced her resignation as leader of the social democrats. fund to be in the list 1st joined the democratic party more than 20 years ago as the leader of the party's youth organization she studied german and political science in one of her very 1st interviews she told g.w. that a career in politics was not in the cards. shopping it for you but i don't want to stay in politics for the rest of my life so after being chair i want to look for a real job and for that i need a good degree. but after finishing university 4 years later now is rose in the ranks of the s.p.d. 1st as a parliamentarian then labor minister and ultimately party leader germany's minimum wage law 1st introduced in 2015 was one of her key achievements now as has a reputation for being outspoken after her rousing speech at an s.p.d. convention party members agree to c

continue the government's work with all due seriousness. and above all with a great sense of responsibility. handed over responsibility for leading the c.d.u. to under great comfort she was to continue macas legacy and succeed her as chancellor in 2 years' time. the christian democrats have little to offer young people worried about climate change and that's clear from the success of this protest video by blogger riza. video show you how folks from the c.b.c. live and how they lack the basic skills to do their jobs and how they're wrecking our lives and future. his video the destruction of the c.d.u. has racked up almost 15000000 views. is yet to come up with a cogent response. but chancellor's current crisis management is a far cry from what we can do this stands back in 2015 new parliamentary elections on the horizon in germany. talk of fresh elections lots of talk about not being able to contain the crisis has she lost magic touch that has kept her in power for so long. while that's a very good question i don't think that she has really lost it i think many people still appreciate this woman. in the end she just managed a lot of crises
