chief political correspondent melinda crane thank you so much for your continued coverage. you news took to the streets of bond to ask ordinary germans what they made of today's deal. i mean after only reaching this agreement by the skin of their teeth i don't it's a really good thing for the whole country. and most politicians were probably just thinking of themselves and not the citizens. of the new elections because of the f.d.a. maybe they would get more seats and that wouldn't be good. i think it's a good idea coalition is a really good idea because we all want peace and there's so much confusion in the world already so if they can work together for the better to better jerram a need that's good. i think it's a good thing that they've agreed because in the meantime it's become so bad that no politician or person has the in durance to keep going now and they all worked hard and i think it's a solution for everyone what he thought of. this and got us is not any good i'm against a grand coalition so i don't care what they've agreed on i will definitely vote against it i a

well our chief political correspondent melinda crane is in munich covering the conference for us and she joins us now for more so melinda iran's foreign minister didn't respond directly to netanyahu the israeli prime minister but his speech did include a great deal of criticism against israel and other countries tell us more about these two competing philosophies that the two leaders presented today in munich. it wasn't only these two leaders in fact it was a whole range of spokespeople both from the region and also including the former american secretary of state john kerry a russian spokesman and the u.n. official responsible for trying to negotiate peace in syria a whole range of voices and essentially two camps to be detected those who believe that a political and diplomatic solution to the conflicts in the region is not only possible but absolutely necessary and those who say no the great risks coming from a country for example like iran cannot be contained and in fact we need a military response so looking more closely at those two camps we essentially have israel on the one ha

incredible highs and lows of this one tony and picks and joining me now to discuss that is jonathan crane from austin thanks for joining us. but the one thing we didn't see a week at the closing ceremony was the russian flag why was that that's because the just the i.c. voted today to uphold the ban russians and then paid no of course that stemmed from state sponsored doping that was uncovered at the sochi olympics in twenty fourteen a unanimous decision we can see that a show of hands at the i.o.c. meeting now that resulted in the kind of political compromise this one hundred sixty eight russian athletes were competing as neutrals at these games under the olympic track but there was always this carrot dangling for them at the end whether they would actually be able to have their own flag closing ceremony now whether the whispers were positive that the russian athletes were behaving themselves abiding by the ban and then of course we had to doping violations towards the end of the games by russian athletes so i think that's really why the i.o.c. changed tack but if we don't see any more v

and that was it my gabriele speaking a short while ago to our chief political correspondent linda crane at the munich security conference we're going to turn to the united states now were a grand jury has indicted thirteen russian nationals and three russian companies for alleged meddling in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election deputy attorney general rod rosenstein and now to the charges that the justice department will seek he said that the defendants conducted information warfare with the goal of selling discord in the us political system the charges include conspiracy fraud and identity theft the indictment was brought by the office of special counsel robert muller which is probing alleged ties between trump's presidential campaign and russia president trump said the indictment proves his campaign did not collude with moscow to tip the election. on nato secretary general young stoltenberg has called for maximum pressure to force north korea to abandon its nuclear missile program but he said it should be done using diplomatic means and economic sanctions berg was speaki

headquarters here in berlin is our chief political correspondent with the crane good evening melinda it's almost time to say good morning it is so late on this tuesday into wednesday is there any movement behind you can we expect a deal before sunrise. there is movement behind me but not quite of the sort that you me and in fact a lot of the reporters who have been waiting here are packing up now and so are a number of the politicians the negotiations are going on in two different rounds there's a kind of an advance team of fifteen people that do the initial work and then what they come up with gets gets essentially the stamp of approval from a larger ninety person team all of those ninety a lot have now taken leave for the evening they've told us they're going home to get a few hours of sleep but they are on standby and will come back if and when the agreement really is in its final stretches so going into the morning hours here and hard to say how long it will still take most of those who have gone home for the evening though say they are optimistic and progress has been made so a

this is the missile that was being lifted by the crane. >> reporter: lewis also measures the prowess of north korean missiles by timing their acceletion off the launch pad. >> if you know how hhe thing is and how quickly it is being pushed, you know how much po being used to push it. so, we've been able to estimate the strength of the north korean engines d as it turns out, we get exactly the same number as the leaked u.s. intelligen community estimate. >> reporter: they sussed out its weight by looking at these images of kim jong-un watching launch preps for a hwasong-12. the key: a logo of a japanese company on the crane. >> and so by modeling the building and the missile and the crane, we were able to figure out how far the arm was extended, the angle that the arm was at. and then, we could look at the specifications for this particular commercial crane and figure out approximately how much the missile weighed. when we did the crane analysis, one of the things we discovered is that north korea's missiles were more advanced than we thought. the missile itself was still strong but m

chief political correspondent melinda crane has been covering the munich conference for us she sent us this wrap up of days of the day's highlights the day began with an appeal ended with a warning and in between there were some clashes the appeal was made by germany's foreign minister who expressed concern about what he sees as potential u.s. disengagement from europe and said it's time for a european moment urging the e.u. member countries to coordinate not only security policy but also foreign policy the warning came from intelligence and defense officials from the u.s. europe northern africa and the middle east all of them saying even if the islamic state is soon defeated the battle against jihadism could take at least a generation and the clashes came between the u.s. and russian officials in the wake of friday's indictment of thirteen russians for allegedly interfering in u.s. elections the russian foreign minister. said that those. were blather the american national security adviser said the u.s. will expose and go after any attempt to use cyberspace to subvert democracy that wa

political correspondent linda crane is standing by inside the bundestag she has been following these talks over the past week melinda you were in the room when they were addressing their press that they mean what they said or were they putting on a brave face. i think that they did certainly not everything that was agreed upon is something that the chancellor for example greets with joy and that was evident for example when she talked about the loss of the finance ministry which will now be held by the social democrats but on the whole i think she meant it when she said that she feels that this coalition agreement strikes the right balance between security and fairness for german citizens on the whether hand one hand and economic dynamism on the other and of course the former. two goals security and fairness those would typically be social democratic goals and indeed this coalition agreement does bear the imprint of social democratic concerns but you know what those concerns are not alien to this chancellor she is often criticised of having taken her conservative party in an increasi

let's go straight to our chief political correspondent and the crane there she is at the city you had quarters say here in berlin where the coalition talks are still on going well and is there an end in sight. there is an end in sight at least that's what we're hearing from inside this building where indeed they have been at it all day and essentially it is make or break day for these negotiations the parties had allotted two days of overtime and the clock is running down now on day two and we're told that there is optimism a lot has been achieved and in fact. a version of the document that they're working on has been leaked to the press and if you look at that and look at the areas that are marked in yellow in this document they are very few and far between at this point in fact they have reached agreement on according to one negotiator ninety to ninety five percent of the issues that they were negotiating on and just to give you a sense of the volume we're talking about this document runs one hundred sixty seven pages long fourteen chapters so in fact they've accomplished quite a bi

chief political correspondent linda crane thank you very much. also in munich took as prime minister but only a dear and issued a strong defense of his government's right to defend itself he said turkey was a constitutional country where the rule of law is strong and said no one has the right to question their government he also said relations between germany and turkey are improving this a day after ankara released a turkish german journalist after a year in prison. a free man once more after a year in custody speaking from berlin denise you chel said he'd been held hostage by turkey he didn't mince words describing the turkish justice system. just as my arrest had nothing to do with justice and the rule of law my release also has nothing to do with either of those and. in a tweet you chance that he's now left germany and is with friends it's not clear what triggered the journalist sudden release some have speculated it could have been a weapons deal or an agreement to join the e.u. customs union german foreign ministers it denied those claims i

happy about that but as far as people in russia are concerned this was a win for russia well jonathan crane thank you so much for your time and for your analysis and that is all we have for you from d.w. live from berlin at this hour we'll have more coming at the top of the alice and do stay team thanks for watching. dangerous and why. venture of. a trip like airplanes. seventeen thousand kilometers in six weeks. breathtaking landscape.

brent: we want to go now to our chief political correspondent melissa crane. -- melinda crane.are not burning the midnight oil this time. the deadline has been postponed again. can we expect an agreement this time tomorrow? melinda: we have just heard from a spd spokesperson who says tomorrow is absolutely the last phase. it is the moment when we will know if the negotiators have succeeded. some are burning the midnight oil. earlier we had said that todd said adjourned but that is not quite true talks -- talks had adjourned but that is not quite true. they are apparently trying to break through in the process those described as being very controversial and intensive. the spokesperson said there has been some progress but they are not where they want to get yet. he was asked, is it possible they will not reach agreement tomorrow? he says the will is there but there is delay. brent: what is the big holdup? melinda: at the moment they are talking about health care. germany has a two-tier system. there are private insurers who can be more selective about who they taken and there ar

yeah, the crane, the crane is because that's kind of part of the fireplace. >> so would people have lived in here? >> absolutely. >> and how would that work? is the upstairs original and they would have slept up there? >> yes. so the upstairs is original. but there are not hearths in the upstairs. a lot of times in the loft space you do find hearths, or also fireplace openings which is a definite indicator that people were living up there. but this one does not have that. but that does not mean they weren't living up there. they were living up there which is why there's a partition wall up there and a door opening up there and a staircase, you know, an enclosed staircase leading up there. that was living space upstairs. you can never really tell for sure without documentation of exactly where people were sleeping or how many people were living in these spaces, but for kitchens, there is always, those were also always living spaces, at least my understanding of them, because kitchens were always used and just kind of the, what you kind of learn or hear from things is that, you know, once y

japan is evidently the source for other equipment such as special cranes everyday crane in these fight size which come from north korean state media you can see the crane is actually being used to do lift the missile from the assembly line on to the transporter erector launcher and just the idea that in full twenty seventeen where there's so much scrutiny on north korea special weapons programs it's very difficult to sort of understand that. it looks like united nations sanctions on north korea including an extensive trade embargo are not being fully implemented we drive along the hundred river towards its esther wary to look across at north korea. nearby is the joint security area at panmunjom the only spot on the border where soldiers from the two koreas come face to face. in january delegations from the north and south met here. for such a handshake a rare stunning event. this is the north making nice. but last december it showed its cruel face at the same spot. a north korean soldier defected and came under fire from the north even after he had crossed into the south. and. that was

we have already have his melinda crane thank you very much. and we'll be taking a short break but we'll have much more on the top story and other stories from around the world stay with us. on. necklaces colorful and shiny at the effect example of some doing culture in kenya you can see that this jewelry has a pulse and come to symbolize child marriage and sex are in the beans. josephine county unless some dude has self is trying to break the vicious cycle of tradition and ignorance. lost childhood in kenya. hijacking the news. more are going wrong the news is being hijacked journalism itself has become a scripted reality show it's not just good versus evil us versus them that's why in one. in countries like russia china churchy people are told is that something and if you're a journalist there and you try to get beyond it you are facing scare tactics intimidation. and i wonder is that where we're headed as well. my responsibility as a journalist is to get beyond the smoke and mirrors it's not just about being clear from balance or being neutr

before i was in a crane i was in russia. before africa was in. for always in africa was in somalia before i was in somalia i was in my mother's womb. i live is going to stun a new beginning its up to. today is my first day on live in the pendant. my life a little that hadn't been easy when i was in ukraine my mind was total both quit but. god had other plans. and then i was told i was lucky too good to see at the members in the mosque in q four. i was really really hard to go down suddenly i read. remember it was an ied to be in ukraine. it was august fourth then i went to the bus the medicos just going to use it then that's when the totally off the phone once going to be a see saw i left ukraine make. december eighth two thousand. i'm going. to. the french. what thing is that this will be that will break for us one will be laid off to honey i'll see if tonight. just school bus. school bus or being over the. front foot but i was to bus for lunde. but since there were those not good it told me i'm not going to. go into bus. so we bust slovakia. re

your career in your crane is considered to be unfortunate and now the only the only way to end to put this. to put this to russia is not just simply arguing but also. by. introducing. corporations or. so solutions of conflict in this field so far we haven't been very successful. that well you know that the crimean issue at least for russia is closely linked to . its is for expansion which traces its roots back to german reunification and the promises. that vera made to moscow back down and we're not necessarily saying is no kind of promises have made that was not prepared were not carried through while it is believed at least if this is an opinion in moscow. russia was promised that nato will not expand to the east following the reunification of germany. has not expended towards. unless countries in the east as to be permitted to join. nato as such has not expanded well i think that mr gorbachev there for the last president and the first president of the soviet union even in his memoirs stated quite clearly that this is not how it was perceived at least in russia many perceive that th
