seen as someone who's very competent and who has a track record in health politics within the c.d.u. party. do you feel that this choice by the weekend chancellor is the signal as a shift to the rice for merkel c.d.u. party. i think that would be overstating this this is if there's one thing she's been criticized for by conservative cuts within her own party is that she is alleged to have taken her policy more towards the center that's something the social democrats have also been complaining about so if anything this is setting a signal that conservative voices are still being heard and can occur there thank you for the us. of a place where christians believe jesus was crucified and buried has a close image a rather with israeli authorities the church of the whole east africa show its doors on sunday at caesar's are protesting legislation that would tax church assets and allow the state to seize church property they called is an unprecedented attack against christians in the holy land no word with given on how long the closure will last. chancellor angela merkel and france's president. ha

lot more of it in the future that's because chancellor angela merkel has told her conservative c.d.u. party that she would like crop callandar to become its general secretary that means that she would be in charge of the party's day to day operations and it places her in pole position to take over as chancellor if merkel steps down it's by all means a colorful choice and a good come come from boeing will take the position as general secretary of the cd hugh although she already has helped more important posts within the party but conservative leader wanted to policy manager whom she can trust one hundred percent unemployed come combo has been close to america for many years can once again when we have known each other for many years now and i can say that we can rely on each other even if we both have our own opinions so i think we'll have some exciting times ahead of us on. the media has given come combo the nickname mini america a.k.k. as she is known in the c.d.u. party is much more than just a meanie. unincluded com combo has been state premie of the region since two thousand and eleven

as she is known in the c.d.u. party is much more than just a mini unincluded com combo or has been state premie of the saar region since two thousand and eleven. victory at the state elections last year was key to merkel's win in the nationwide elections just a few months later now she gives up a strong position to help marco to set up a reform agenda within the c.d.u. . even though it has never i'm firmly convinced that germany needs and will continue to need strong political parties not political movements dominated by single persons. and agreed to come come by was considered to be down to earth a matter of fact approach to politics is very popular her nomination as general secretary can also be seen as a way of reaching out to america's critics of those she's loyal to the bharti leader articulate come combo has never been too shy to voice opinion in the past hour at let's go to our political correspondent all over south for more on this are going to say you have chosen america's party members welcomed her decision to

september so let's bring in our political correspondent hans bronte is standing by for us outside the c.d.u. party headquarters that is anglo-american a party if you can hear me we can't see you yet but this is a long awaited break through what we're details can you tell us about this agreement. well the most the most controversial points in the end at the end of the negotiations over the last roughly twenty four hour. where the ones concerning labor law reform and. medical aid to reform as well as discussions about all the various ministries would be distributed between the two party blocks and these controversial points were cleared up during the night and the final agreement was reached sometime this morning i think what one can say is that the social democrats especially seem to have gotten quite a lot of mileage out of this agreement they drove a hard bargain and one can see it in the fact that they have been given two of the major ministries or maybe three of the major ministries namely the foreign ministry the finance ministry and the ministry of labor especially interesting here is that th

that's the bavarian sister party of the jungle merkel's c.d.u. commenting on the negotiations nothing too substantial there yet nina what do you read of what we're seeing here today we've also had confirmation from the s.p.d. by the way they have a whatsapp group and they send updates on the coalition talks and actually a few minutes ago they posted a picture of the. major figures from the s.p.d. and saying we're very tired but well satisfied and we've got a deal and now they say they have to take it into the group of thirty five negotiators for the social democrats so i think we can talk about a fact that we do have a deal which now needs to go into the process of being approved by the entire party that's a big question of course being approved by the entire party you're saying that on the group they say there is a deal and they are satisfied. does that mean that there's the s.p.d. rank and file will sign off on it or you know i think to get those three ministries is a major success for the a speedy you've got the foreign minister the foreign mi

there outside the c.d.u. party headquarters where the coalition would be coldish partners are continuing to negotiate. well moving on to taiwan rescue efforts are underway there are a six point four magnitude earthquake killed at least four people and injured hundreds of others authorities say more than one hundred forty people are still unaccounted for it's the second major quake to hit the island nation in recent days with more aftershocks feared. this building is still standing but the lower floors are crushed beneath its weight. firefighters are searching for any and every way so they can find survivors and get them out to safety the quake hit. east coast shortly before midnight tuesday it left several buildings listing dangerously near collapse including a military hospital and this hotel where an overnight worker was rescued from inside. there was only me working the night shift i don't know what happened to the people upstairs. his son and grandson soon arrive they are overjoyed to find him alive. but dozens

side of the cabinet picks and her own c.d.u. party is still trying to recover from the fact that merkel in those late nights ago she is handed over the key finance ministry now with un spawn and we're not hearing anybody denying this joy in her cabinet she will have somebody at the table who is on the record of could not just criticizing her but also through actually without really courtenay to with the german chancellor forced himself through votes into the upper echelons of the c.d.u. party system real competition there the social democrats we've seen really having not just lively debates it's really internal fights not something angela merkel had under control until now recently after these elections which are also seen as a kind of defeat for the christian democrats who also lost in these polls and who are now trying a very very hard indeed to get this so-called grand coalition together with the social democrats whose party grassroots will have the final vote where they would actually happen. let's go back to you and sean for a mi

a grand coalition and stake is so much for no political correspondent her standing outside the c.d.u. party headquarters were an announcement could be coming any time on the formation of a new government thank you so much for now hans. well as hans was saying even if the parties do agree to a deal that's not quite the end of the line first the social democrats have promised their members a boat on the coalition agreement and after some spirited infighting between the parties different factions not all members are likely to support it. there was a female cricket from the city of austin just signed up last week to become an s.p.d. member she wants to see changes in policies affecting families and pensioners she's completely against continuing in a grand coalition so i put test so i can sign it's a form of protest but i want to stay in the s.p.d. for a long time so that i can be involved in policy making as a member of the opposition not within a grand coalition no more business as usual we need to make the social democrats strong again ever since the s.p.d. just barely passed a vote to enter

between chancellor merkel's conservatives and the social democrats went all through the night at the c.d.u. party headquarters here in berlin but without a final agreement the country's two biggest political parties are still in disagreement over labor laws and health care reform it's been more than four months now since national elections if the parties can't agree germany could face fresh elections well our political correspondent hans ponte is standing by outside the c.d.u. party headquarters here in berlin where those marathon talks are continuing today hi han still no deal absolutely no deal and it's been a deadline and another deadline and another deadline initially we were meant to be finished with this whole process on sunday then it was an extra day on monday then it was an extra day yesterday which went on through the night and now well we don't know it looks as though this is going to go on all go on for some time through the night there has been very little information coming out of these talks it's clear that the main sticking points are the ones that you mentioned to health care ref

our political correspondent hans blunt is standing by at the c.d.u. party headquarters in berlin where those marathon talks are continuing hans any sign of progress any sign of a breakthrough. there's no sign of a breakthrough at the moment we've had a couple of people from inside the talks come out and tell us what's going on what's going on is negotiations if you want to put it as simply as that there has been no information about any breakthrough at the moment it's like you have for this process will take several hours still one has to say that last nine. there was a leak to the press of the agreement that has been reached so far this comprises more than one hundred sixty pages of detailed agreement in other words they have been going quite follow really they have achieved quite a lot already but they are reaching the sticking points the really crucial points the ones that we have been mentioned labor reform this this concerns temporary work or six term contracts in germany and the question of health care reform these are both issues that are very import

our political correspondent hans bryant has been following all of this for us he is outside the c.d.u. party headquarters for us hi hans this is a long awaited breakthrough what details have you been hearing there what do we know about this agreement right now. well at the moment there has been some confirmation that an agreement has been reached from from the social democratic party but we haven't in fact yet had an official statement here behind me as you can see everybody is waiting there for say this official statement to be given but a lot of details have leaked out of the negotiations in the last oh and i think what we can say what is really new at the moment is the distribution of the ministries in a new government and here the social democrats will be given the foreign ministry the foreign minister will be a social democrat they will be controlling finance and they will also be given the labor ministry as well as a few other ministries obviously in the government this is i think one can say big achievement for the social democrats these are really very crucial ministries for any gove

kinship america c.d.u. party conventions on the way her conservatives will vote on the coalition agreement with the center left social democrats both parties need to approve the deal before the new government can be formed the c.d.u. delegates are expected to support the deal by a wide margin ahead of the convention mechelle had named picks for a potential new cabinet calling it a new start for the cd you bought half of the positions are slated to be held by women and against spawn a champion of the party's right will also be part of a cabinet he's considered a shop critic of matters refugee policy. joining me now from the city you can mention is did obvious political editor michelle of course know highly surely you have one of the people but to potentially be in. new cabinet. absolutely in fact journalists offenses so often the line joins me now and you out one example together with the chancellor of the continuation of a potential new cabinet if the social democrats agree to it german chancellor also merkel too

it's unlikely that he will be able to one thing is to show that both the social democrats and the c.d.u. party avuncular machall both have a rather broad consensus that the need to be a first commitment to europe that's also the first chapter in the coalition agreement that's on the table and that will be voted on by c.d.u. delegates meeting here in berlin on monday morning and they are expected to vote with a resoundingly yes to this their more question marks over how the social democrats will in the end vote on this because the grassroots get to have a vote there but on the whole there is a positive sign from this potential new government also to them on my call in france who wants to take your forward she wants to pretty make headway also on the eurozone moving closer together he's likely to have moved back in now with this new government for the social democrats are strengthened within that continuing potentially continuing coalition. thank you very much. police in central england say an explosion that destroyed a building is not a terrible lated video posted on you tube shows the building

want to remind our viewers here in the bottom of the screen we are looking at pictures of the c.d.u. party headquarters here in berlin we're waiting for statements from the party leaders to announce officially this new coalition agreement we're waiting for that in about twelve minutes time we'll be listening to that live but in the meantime thought that looking at this entire protracted process as we said how have german politics changed over these past four months as we've seen the various parties trying to form a coalition government well externally i mean we've seen them really struggling to get a government in place first of all we saw a. it's trying to get a coalition agreement with the greens and the pro business of front business friendly liberals and that didn't work out everybody was quite shocked about that because people really counted on them forming the new government and then the german president had to step in and remind the social democrats as well as the conservatives of their responsibility to at least try to form a new government before they would call new elections and

overwhelming majority american allies she promised to restore the party's prestige it is not about whether individual shine and the c.d.u. it's about the party itself being brilliant we have to work for this we need your cooperation for this i ask for your trust. her speech by contrast through enthusiastic applause. there was appreciation also for two ministers leaving office outgoing interior minister. and health minister ham unclear the message to party leader on the americal was clear the party may follow her but it's not quite convinced. it's for with chance so i'm making clear moves to revive her party possibly for the post or air or use political editor michelle like of nerve center this report from today's c.d.u. conference. german chancellor angela merkel is really opening up within the party opening the potential future cabinet to critics of her management style more specifically for migration policy by letting gen spawn take up the ministry of health if it comes to the so-called ground coalition she's also established another anecdote tom cotton balls was elected as party secretary general woodward zones in su

coalition government and our political correspondent melinda crane is standing by outside of the c.d.u. party headquarters that's a conservative party for us a melinda what has been going on well at the moment we're seeing a number of party leaders and ministers leaving the premises so clearly their negotiating work is now finally completely done that means they have probably been discussing who gets what minister positions that was the last open question and that presumably is what kept them there so long because the actual agreement on the coalition on the policies of the coalition was reached earlier this morning so they are leaving and we're now awaiting a statement by the party leaders who will i think take us through the main principles of the coalition agreement and also the way that the spoils have been divided up namely the ministries because that is where real changes have been made tell us more about those changes melinda and how significant they are. well very significant for the social democrats the social democrats had made it clear from the outset that they would drive a hard b

as she's known in the c.d.u. party is much more than just a mini the fifty five year old lawyer has managed to secure a conservative majority within the saar region traditionally a social democrat stronghold. a.k.k. is considered to be down to earth her matter of fact approach to politics is very popular come current powers nomination as general secretary can also be seen as a way of reaching out to americans critics although she's loyal to the party leader come convo or has never been too shy to voice her opinion in the past as give over a political correspondent to all of us and well what message is unclear sending with this decision. politician with a complicated name on a good come common ball for non german natives at least it's a very interesting move to follow here i'm going to america has received lots of criticism foam from within her own party in the refugee crisis of two thousand and fifteen and sixteen for the general move off the conservative party to the left so not everybody is very pleased right now at

certainly appears so yes we haven't heard from merkel the german chancellor and the leader of the c.d.u. party and we haven't yet heard from martin schultz the junior coalition partner in all of this who is the leader of the center left s.p.d. party but that clip that we just played was one of a succession of exhausted looking party executives emerging from conrad house where the talks had been taking place for a full twenty four hour session through to the early morning of early dawn of weapons day and they just really wanted to get handouts frankly they were relieved for the country that a deal appears to been agreed they were dotting the i's and crossing the t's and preparing basically the paperwork to be published so that's the whole party membership can actually have a look at what they finally come to agreement on but one of the other delegates said look i just want to go home for a shower so it looks like i know america will give a formal statement once they've had the chance to freshen up but other than that it looks like everything's organized now yes and i understand paul that s.p.d.

will melt the results of their vote taking among all party members this coming week . the overwhelming majority of c.d.u. delegates voted in favor of a new grand coalition only twenty seven of more than nine hundred delegates voted against it even so given the skepticism within the ranks of the party until america was at pains to sell the coalition agreement before the vote and joined us just as the slogan that we've chosen for this coalition deal makes it clear we're looking for the right answers and drawing conclusions from the election results in a new start for europe all. magical speech drew just over four minutes worth of polite applause that's comparatively little by the c.d.u. standards of recent years that could be interpreted as dissatisfaction with the chancellor and her poor showing in germany spent only action a problematical is all too aware of it and. that's the good news and this result is not at all what we were hoping for we all fought hard and we were all disappointed we want to do better next time so. that's been the most viewed up this obstinate. but many delegates fear that another

c.d.u. for her party and if this is true then the s.p.d. will get made ministries where you have the influence of a. role in the world with a foreign ministry you also have the finance ministry where you get to talk to everybody in brussels all the time remember the eurozone crisis where the finance minister talk to greece and the labor and social affairs ministry but of course s.p.d. members are saying we need a proper renewal and we also need to get policy package is more concrete policies and they have failed to deliver those for example in the issue of immigration they have been pushed to the side by the more conservative conservative party in the varia let's take a step back and look at the them from the european perspective a lot of people waiting for germany to form a government how do you think they will see the development that we've seen today. in brussels you know the french president has been waiting for example and putting pressure also we've seen representatives in brussels putting pressure on the german government to come to

that will at least calm down this question critics within the party for now right to look at the c.d.u. party convention here in berlin thank you very much. let's turn now to nigeria more than one hundred girls are still missing a week after an attack on a school in the northeast of the country book insurgents are suspected of targeting the teenagers in the town of doxy the country's president muhammadu buhari has described the disappearance as a national disaster did of the chorus for an interest rather to adopt he spoke to one family desperate for news of their daughter. they came to come for their loved ones but the relatives of the family are themselves in concept. god help us christ one distraught. turned inside the family home. shows as a picture of his missing daughter ayesha she's just seventeen years old. her sister was the last person to see her. them one day we were both sitting outside the school's mosque and. then we suddenly saw around fighters and heard shots. my sister said we should grab our things and run we held onto each other's hands but at some stage i lost sight of her

c.d.u. that your party is now shifting to the right as many suggest. the c.d.u. is for a party at the political center and joan it will remain the political party of the center in germany because elections germany a one in the center of this is exactly where we belong i'm going to merkel announced a new cabinet members yes city evening will become the new health secretary i know you had sprung for many years and now he has a chance to show what he can do as a new minister there's a lot to do in this field ok let's take a listen if we could to what the chancellor had to say about her picks. it's been a moment the i instigated the at the moment on the only one he's past the age of sixteen all of his a younger and some very much younger than this and with this team we cannot tackle the challenges of the future and there are many this feeling. ok now are the new polls personalities that the chancellor named the ones that can bring back the voters that the c.d.u. has lost to the far right if the especially the ones who say that your party has abandoned its conservative

c.d.u. at some point in the future. i go amok lizza chancellor angela merkel is a party leader she leads a c.d.u. and at some stage of course we will then have to discuss who will follow her but this is certainly not now have a case what we now need is for the next nearly four years a firm and stable government under leadership of aguilar merkel and everything else will be discussed at a later stage ok with that include policies that could bring back the disaffected c.d.u. voters who've gone to their day giving the seat policies that would give the c.d.u. more of a conservative profile. the result of the last general elections in september wasn't about what we had actually booked for that what we had expected yes we want to do better and this is exactly what we're going to do him and the x. years i think what we have to show german citizens is that we've understood their concerns that we have to deliver concrete results and then i believe that we can do better and if you look for instance of the voters we lost we lost more than a million voters to the liberals a more than one million voters to th

political groups have reached an agreement on the forming a coalition government outside of the c.d.u. party headquarters that's chancellor merkel's party here in berlin any minute now her conservatives and the social democrats under martin schultz are set to announce plans for a new grand coalition this follows days of negotiations in which the two were deadlocked over issues like health care reform today's agreement a still faces a vote buying nearly half a million social democratic party members. and let's go back to our political correspondent hans front who is standing by for us outside of the party headquarters monitoring the story any more details on this breakthrough agreement that you can that you've been hearing. i think what we can say it's been is this certainly has been confirmed now that the agreement has been reached of what is happening at the moment is that the various leading party bodies are being informed of all the details and a few logistical things still to be solved in other words the agreement has to be put into its final written form and has to be printed out to be

at c.d.u. party headquarters in berlin reporters wait for information on the progress of talks to form a grand coalition one hundred thirty four days after germany's general election the country is still without a government. updates from the parties have been few and far between. believe me when we can so we live in turbulent times what people want from the mainstream party is the conservatives on social democrats is that we form a reliable government for the good of the population it will be for this people. even under mounting pressure the leader of the center left s.p.d. is full of confidence. so i have good reason to think we're in the final stretch i'm hoping for a positive spirit to the talks and a good result for our country this ruins a lot. and the leader of chancellor merkel's more conservative sister party the c.s.u. from the state of bavaria sounded more upbeat then earlier in the day elizabeth before that everyone has to get out of the trenches digging in our heels won't work anymore th

twenty four hours our political correspondent covering this breakthrough for us outside of the c.d.u. party headquarters we are expecting an official announcement in about an hour and a half's time has we'll be talking later thank you very much. well said that the two sides have one more hurdle before the deal is sealed any agreement for another grand coalition must receive the blessing of the rank and file members of the central left so germany must wait a bit longer for an end to months of political limbo until the party vote and that could take weeks. of fate is in their hands the four hundred sixty thousand s.p.d. members could block another grand coalition between mack of the conservatives and the social democrats but who are these people there are far fewer women than men two thirds of members a male. less than ten percent of s.p.d. members around. the strength the numbers lies with those above sixty. have a university degree even more people with higher education can be found in the pro-business f.t.p. . the green party sixty eight percent of members with degrees. when the s.p.d. mem

cross straight over to our political correspondent hans blonde who is standing by just outside the c.d.u. party.

being voted on today appears to solve all sides concerns i'm going to medical center right wing c.d.u. party is able to say right to the brand the suspension stays for another six months and after that one thousand family members per month will be allowed to come to germany the left wing s p d is able to say look we've managed to open the door again after two years of it being shut so for our left wing supporters we're able to sell that to them it's only a thousand but it's a compassionate gesture for the far right party for example very able to go to their constituents and say look the actual right for asylum seekers to bring family members over has gone this one thousand will be on an ad hoc case by case basis so it's all about the presentation it's all about the perception but it appears that this coalition negotiation has produced a kind of fudge which all sides can sell to all of their constituents ok so the fact that they or able to come to this compromise what does this say about ongoing coalition talks. well it means that the breakthrough appears to have been made there's a self-impo

and only got the economics ministry of the lot also which the larger party the c.d.u. left the table with the least important ministries says the party's members in sex and it. what i see now in social media is difficult it will be very hard to get back on the right path there's lots of dissatisfaction in the c.d.u. and fear that the party has sold out before cove there was no other way otherwise the coalition agreement would simply not come about says c.s.u. party leader horace d. who for yeah we would have accepted the finance ministry that was our first priority as we would have taken the foreign ministry we would have taken the ministry of social affairs but the s.p.d. insisted from the outset that it wanted those three ministries and without them they would not join the coalition because it's called many in the c.d.u. say the chancellor negotiated badly others simply call it a conservative social democrat coalition compromise. and it was we knew that the members of the social democrats they now have to approve this deal briefly what are the chances that they will s

c.d.u. sister party the c.s.u. right now may well be the chancellor's most powerful opponent merkel is in favor of a huge coalition of. the social democrats are in a fix right now. party leader martin short's resigned. and the s.p.d. is lower in the polls than ever germany and all of europe are asking will crew knots opposition campaign succeed. given what passed on and it will be. hours. everybody in here yeah i know my. parents didn't. yell at the beginning of another lot of day to not pauses to collect his thoughts. later he'll hit the road to try to convince more s.p.d. members to vote against the grand coalition. who notice traveling throughout germany today he's in the town of bishops time near frankfurt. lots of s.p.d. members want to have their say and there's a big crowd here today. it was tonight the leader of the party's youth organization who launched the debate. about. our election manifestos no longer sound like s.p.d. principles but a compromise tailored to a grand coalition we know we have few optio

she promised to restore the party's pristine that's good news is not about whether individual shine and the c.d.u. it's about the party itself being brilliant we have to work for this we need your cooperation for this i ask for your trust. first. each drew enthusiastic applause appreciation also for two ministers who will no longer be in office outgoing interior minister thomas de mint's year and health minister ham on clear the message to party leader under clear the party may follow her but it is not quite convinced. our political editor michelle has been covering the party convention today for us and she joins us hi michelle good to see you so the city who has approved of this coalition deal that was largely expected were there any dissenting voices today. they were some dissenting voices but really not much of the criticism remaining that we've heard in recent weeks and months although we heard some once again reiterate pretty much what she said after that election night saying that she really didn't understand what she did wrong that she wouldn't do things differently well today is a differe

c.d.u. as a party has basically been abandoned by. the greens present themselves as a clear alternative their floor leader cuts mean getting eckard says this coalition agreement is at best a patchwork quilt had the agreement has gaps when it comes to fairness for children or nursing care and it lacks greatly on climate protections we're preparing to take a powerful opposition stance on these issues in the next few years after the matter a coalition agreement offering something for everyone to criticize. around the opposition views there some of the strongest criticism coming from the far right alternative for germany party the a.f.d. saying that merkel see the us now just an empty shell with a new grand coalition han's the f.t. will be the strongest party in parliament does the cold. deal provide faulter for the far right for the f.t. oh absolutely obviously we've just heard that they already started criticizing the con so to us and this government this potential government was still have to say obviously specially on the issues migra

the far right in the elections in september john mccain has been following events at cd at the c.d.u. party conference in. i tried to talk to conferences voted in favor of the grand total deal i got the party leadership to go share it with the social democrats many weeks ago i surprising really given but only to speak to most of them anywhere at this conference it's worth it about the duty of the christian democratic union house to govern in germany given the fact that it won first place in the elections in september it's a theme that angela merkel return to in her speech the other delegates in the room for us in that sense are deep seated she feels her party has. the c.d.u. c.s.u. union once a functioning state a state that's capable of acting in a reliable state part of being reliable is that the state handles the money of its citizens reasonably solid finances are the basis for this that the c.d.u. c.s.u. union will stick with its clear principle no new debt no tax increases the problem we're going to have our story talk convincing her party their conference this was it sort of stuff was

chancellor angela merkel is again warning that talks to form a government are going to be tough c.d.u. party has been negotiating a coalition with the social democrats germany's been without a government since the major parties lost ground to the far right in september's election. if you don't start coming it's the only song that. one can tell by now how long this will take we worked well yesterday but there are still important points that we haven't cleared up so i'm going in with goodwill but of course with a certain expectation that we will face difficult negotiations at today's meeting britain's government is introducing new rules to try to tackle money laundering the times newspaper says the measures will give the government the power to seize what it sees as suspicious assets u.k. security minister ben wallace told the paper that the government will investigate foreign nationals with more than seventy thousand dollars in assets if they can't adequately explain how they got the money london's banking and property markets propped up by hundreds of billions of dollars of foreign money inv
