line was ignored in front in jamaica it was my music is now accepted in jamaica i don't need time for a long time people knew the songs but didn't know who some it is. but now i've become part of the music here when it started when you type people know me they talk to me on the street and i get a lot of love and respect. with all due respect so. i. respect also from jamaican musicians such as barrington levy and the rings to pick from don kahn told us down. jamaica is also often the backdrop for gentlemen's videos the big. gentleman has been commuting between cologne and kingston for over twenty years now . and twenty twelve he recorded some of his six studio album new day join in jamaica it's been called his most intimate amateur record. that jamaica is the jamaica remains my main place of inspiration and there's nowhere else where i'm so focused on making music without destruction up killing bin for the most is nothing. but it doesn't always have to be jamaica. the video for the single that you remember was shot over the rooftops of new york city that's next thing with. you in the e

in jamaica judging by the colors of the thais the party chiefs may be open to the idea. but they won't join forces with merkel without a revamp of education and business policies and the digital drive. we want to redirect politics reaching a new turning point and if that's not possible then place is in the opposition. opposites you want. to make a won't happen without the greens they scored better in the election than they did for years and going into coalition talks they know what they want. not about power for power sake we want a clear signal concerning climate protection we need to see a turnaround in this direction germany has set a clear goal to reduce c o two emissions. jamaica in germany the cd years be variances to party the c s you will need to be on board they might be hard to persuade says research analyst nicko siegel but it's not impossible it's not of course it depends on how the c.s.u. is included in the package could become a problem there's also the question of how many concessions the f.t.p. is willing to make a lot as far as the voters are concerned t

that's that's a very broad span of the spectrum of jamaica coalition i accept would probably be an even larger span of opinions right from the from the right the left but there are definitely areas where i think they could work together i mean for a start christian lynn that the leader of the f.t.p. and. the one of the lead kandice of the green party actually privately get on very well i understand that they call each other by do which is the informal. and yes they're talking up their differences now because it's the election campaign and because they're appealing to very different groups of voters in some ways and also fishing in the same pond in some areas you know suburban liberal voters i think my might go either way so there's a lot you have to discount a bit of election campaigning there i think it all comes down to which portfolios in government go to which parties there is one can imagine as i can imagine a cabinet of the jamaica government that puts the right parties in the right portfolios where they can really push things forward so you know the greens working on things like

more is actually jamaica. german voters they're also analyzing the aftermath here and really you know s.p.d. voters they're not having a whole lot of fun and here's one who's addressing the party directly on twitter he says dear s.p.d. i hope you use this now for shift to the left that's where we come from and that's where we belong many other voters of course reacting to the rise of the a.f.d. tonight one here saying i've talked to my grandparents earlier who still cannot hear the word nazi without flinching and now i have to explain this and now the hash tag eighty seven percent currently trending on twitter in germany and it's being used to let the world know that most voters here did not support the a.f.d. one voter here writes we must not react to the a.f.p. with fear but with more solidarity and togetherness o.s.b. voters and yes the eighty seven percent all trying to make sense of these results tonight all right voter sharing what's on their hearts and minds online carl last one thanks for breaking it d

for the jamaica parties there is no other option than to start talks soon because they also have one common goal to avoid new elections at all costs. u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson has said the u.s. is in direct contact with north korea over its nuclear weapons program and is probing the country's willingness to talk to larsen made the remarks in beijing where he was meeting president using paying and other officials he also called for calm the u.s. used china as crucial to attempts to stop yang developing nuclear weapons china has strong economic ties with north korea accounting for about ninety percent of its foreign trade earlier i spoke to stephen barr awake our correspondent in seoul south korea i began by asking him how important china's role is in developing channels of communication between the u.s. and north korea. if u.s. and north korea are in some kind of direct contact and presumably that's a diplomatic process that's going ahead without china's direct involvement and whether or not that you site sit down to talk will depend on a variety of factors particularly th

in jamaica judging by the colors of the times the party chiefs may be open to the idea. but they won't join forces with merkel without a revamp of education and business policies and the digital drive. we want to redirect politics reaching a new turning point and if that's not possible then place is in the opposition. opposites you want. to make a won't happen without the greens they scored better in the election than they did for years and going into coalition talks they know what they want. a lot about. we want a clear signal concerning climate protection we need to see a turnaround in this direction germany has set a clear goal to reduce c o two emissions. to make in germany the cd used to variances to party g c s you will need to be on board they might be hard to persuade says research analyst nico siegel but it's not impossible that we ought of course it depends on how the c.s. using included in the package could become a problem there's also the question of how many concessions the f.d.p. is willing to make as far as the voters are concerned there are no hurdles th

coalition for this is going to join major we're going to talk about jamaica we need to find your major makes the most like which is that the colors of black a green and yellow and that is why we journalists media people call it the jamaican qualification and this will stick. so please do gags and we need to know about german politics as a next for you get used to this but anyway this is this is the central question this morning what does this new coalition mean for germany and for the rest of the world and it's interesting to see that a lot of things that the wall is interested in and right is so what will the biggest country and the european union do in the future what can they do and i i i'm a little bit surprised that a lot of questions have not been asked and have not been mentioned last night and that is foreign policy what will happen to russia. relationship with the you know the u.s. with nato security problems and of course europe. i think is a big agenda you know it's a big agenda and the only thing that is small is safe to say is that these three parties will support the euro

jamaica coalition and germany transatlantic and relations with washington what what should we expect that . well i think actually they could be better than they are now because. america is obviously not and desist always has been. the free democrats what will a bit in direction of neutrality always have by the way their own politics of missed again but in the end they pump free markets and democracy and the green strange to say who used to be so critical and now i would say the main pillars. in that coalition supporting sort of if you will an active proactive westen policy against russian aggression all over the all over the world and all over the continent so look to see i would say. don't worry about the transatlantic relation i think that's going to be i think it's going to be fine in spite of mr ok then it has indicated that we do need to worry about what you call the strained relationship with russia michel it's nothing to. yeah of course. so far we do see an extremely strange relationship when we have reacted to germans have reacted with the nato we have some. thousands of troo

good thing, if there is a jamaica coalition with the fdp? will be affected much more by coalition talks inside the uk government. that isa talks inside the uk government. that is a separate issue. thank you for talking to me. i really appreciate it. i know you're a busy man. the former swedish prime minister, is extraordinary, the story here. what will happen next? angela merkel has to pick up the party and win back the afd supporters that have gone that way. thank you very much indeed. a reminder that one of the senior figures in the afd spoke a little while ago, talking about the afd excepting its mandate with dignity. i will let you decide whether that applies to a quart that is being widely shared by another senior figure in the afd, saying that we're going to hunt them, we're going to ta ke going to hunt them, we're going to take back our country and our people. clearly the afd believes this is the start of a grander process. let's switch from the cdu to the spd, the social democrats, the second—biggest party according to the exit polls

coalition and let's take a look at this report not to find out how jamaica or the colors in its flag fit into german politics. they know how to stay cool in jamaica black yellow and green are the colors of the flag in germany these colors represent the most likely incoming coalition conservative c.d.u. the greens in the pro market f.t.p. people here aren't quite as cool as in the caribbean. but germany can be colorful to a floral bouquet for the chancellor despite the hammering the voters gave her cd you are going to merkel is still in charge and it's down to her to form a new coalition. her first call is on the greens and the free democrats. but what about the f.t.p. in jamaica judging by the colors of their ties the party chiefs may be open to the idea but they won't join forces with merkel without a revamp of education and business policies and the digital drive. to redirect politics reaching turning point and if that's not possible then place is in the opposition. opposites you. can make a won't happen without the greens they scored better in the election than they did for years

the table in germany and also in the world ok then i'm going to ask you then it's to explain that jamaica coalition for us. has an image or maybe when i think about jamaica we need to define your major american morning back which is that the colors of black a green and yellow and that is why we journalists media people call it the jamaican quality show and this will stick. so please do gags and we need to know about german politics as a next for you to get used to this but anyway this is this is the central question this morning what does this new coalition mean for germany and for the rest of the world and it's interesting to see that a lot of things that the wall is interested in and right is so what will the biggest country and the european union do in the future what can they do and i i i'm a little bit surprised that a lot of questions have not been asked and have not been mentioned last night and that is foreign policy what will happen to russia to our relationship with the u.s. with nato security problems and of course europe. i think it's a big agenda you know it's a big agenda an

option for her is the so-called jamaica coalition it's called jamaica because it mirrors the colors of the jamaican flag so black for the conservatives yellow for the pro-business liberals the f.t.p. and green for the environmentalist greens now the problem is that the the greens and the liberals come at each other from. opposing sides of the political spectrum so for instance the greens they want to have coal fired power stations close down the s.t.p. will be against that the greens want to have a wealth tax the f.t.p. want or want tax cuts of up to thirty billion so it's going to be very difficult to get those two small parties who will be keen to sharpen their profile and in a governing coalition together in two into one coalition a tough task it will take weeks possibly months oh dear ok so there's a long road ahead for america and for eventual coalition partners there's not a lot of crowds lost a lot of support we heard martin scholz the party leaders say out of the gate he's not going to be part of a coalition government with conservatives where does that leave them well they hav

the liberals won more than 10% and the greens 19%, that means 53% for jamaica.and the s&p's are going into opposition. the ftse 100 is softening a little bit, not by much. the pound looks like it is stronger, seemed to recoup some of the losses to the downgrade. moving in just a thent, but we are expecting cac and dax opening softer, as well. manus: the netherlands past off germany and the complexion of the coalition. should the participants offer participation relative to the global and the s&p 500? dues, dues, dues. abb and a ge doing their dues. in terms of rhetoric, mario draghi will speak today and janet yellen will speak tomorrow. you have a smorgasbord of comments to take on board. let's talk about that room to go -- grow. relative tothe s&p, the s&p 500 and the world index, what would it mean if they are the main coalition partner? what does it mean for fiscal latitude from the german house? this week say you want -- the buys say you want to -- the gilt market is just opening down .25% in terms of futures. fitch, risk is s&p's and both have the u.k. on n

we are all heading to jamaica as anna just said. that seems to be the consensus.t is the risk that schaeuble the position as finance and it goes to the ftp? how real is that risk? guest: i would not call it a risk. you know have three party groupings, the conservatives, liberals, and the greens who all want significant jobs. the probability that charlotte schnot -- schweiger -- aeuble might not be finance minister, on european matters very close to that. would behink they significantly affected by this. the ftp and the greens couldn't really be very much further a late from each other in terms of every single issue there is. how are they going to negotiate a truce to join forces in this new government? guest: on some issues, they are fairly close. they represent urban liberal votes of germany when it comes to civic rights. that's one thing. the other thing, if they both have to straight on their core message, the greens on the environment, and liberals on economic matters, it might work out. exploit all their policies, they can't do that. but if you focus on their

the colors of the flag of jamaica are the colors of the parties who might emerge as a coalition black for angela merkel's christian democrats yellow gold for the free democratic the liberal party and green obviously for the green party with that is something that will be hammered out through weeks of deliberations negotiations between the parties the question though is what does germany make of this result for the alternative for germany and what whether this is a victory for them of in. treif americal what is the the synopsis as it as it were of this result with me to discuss all that is is all i think from rasmussen global a company a firm that operates under the aegis of the former nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen well mr duncan we have the results it seems as though it's a win for matthew but her policies lost ten percent compared to the last time how do you read this election you know it definitely so she looks at the first side as the clear majority winner but if you look into the details if you look into the results so she actually is the big loser of this election.

and number three what is the jamaica coalition. the answer as we know the tears the colors of the to make a flag black for cd you green for the green party. yellow for the fdp in fact there's so much interest in a potential to make a coalition. that the only country in the world currently googling jamaica more is actually trump any cuba. a german voters there also analyzing the aftermath you they wanna know what is this all means a. at here's one is is a people you know in the next parliament. there will be some dispute says you have to make a you have s. p. d. against medical you have the right. against the left and it's going to be. exciting of one group of voters of that's that's not so excited brent. s. p. day voters a and here's one here who is speaking out and saying look. everyone in this party should finally understand that a grand coalition only leads to the marginalization. of the spd using those those terrible numbers coming in and then the polling results really low twenties. a we have one more spd voter here who says h

you know what's really in the minds of voters here in germany and jamaica to its understandable that they want to know why we are talking about that so much care so jared let's talk a little bit about supporters in particular of two of the various parties how how they weighed in on line let's look at the social democrats and they have to have particular because we know that the f.d.a. they've had a very strong presence and they've used the internet to mobilize support well that's right let's start off with the social democrats today is not the best day for them but many also too disappointed about seeing their party out of government let's take a look at a reaction from a social democrats she writes dear s.p.d. one hundred p. use this now for a shift to the list that's where we come from and that's where we belong many other voices are also reacting to the rise of the alternative many one here. this is i've talked to my grandparents earlier who still cannot hear the word nazi without flinching and now i have to explain this and in fact the hash tag eighty seven percent is currently t

this result then the question would be well maybe as all are you saying to us just before that a jamaica coalition called that because the colors of the parties correspond with the colors of the flag of jamaica the black of the c.d.u. the gold of the free democrats the green of the green party perhaps they could form a coalition they would if this was correct perhaps have enough seats in parliament to form a majority but the point many people say is that the parties have ideological differences which might be hard to to bring into government to try to agree a central government policy let's talk to two i think it from russia was in global again one of the points that really might be worth exploring here is is it really the case that a far right party in this country has mobilized more than ten percent thirteen and a half percent of this exit poll is correct do you get the sense that there is that much unhappiness that much disaffection with this grand coalition that's governed and let's be clear about it the german economy is one of the better. most powerful economies in europe it has th

victory with its worst results in history looks for a coalition partners to govern with the so-called jamaica alliance appears the most likely so for also. the euro skeptic i'll turn to the for germany party ruffles the establishment with on the mark breakthrough into the bundestag there are elections success triggers protests across the country. and other world news we're following this hour russia's defense ministry rejects claims its are a force has targeted us by rebels in syria is a resort province. just after six pm here in moscow this is r.t. international always good to have your company my names you know me first to germany where marco is digesting what's been a bittersweet federal election for her on the c.d.u. party which despite coming out on top saw a plunge in voter support the right wing e.f.t. on the other hand has been celebrating an historic past twenty four hours with more of the results reaction is live now to kevin on. the rest of the r t team in berlin . yeah the hi all just past five in the evening here in berlin and welcome back to our us special coverage of the german

we will close the canadian branches and maintain all the branches they haven't jamaica and haiti andcuba and that way we don't have to go instruct the network.on but i it was not a plan that came to fruition, but it gives you a sense of how powerful and important the canadian banks werewe at the time. what happened with canadian banks is there was a fairly stable unregulated canadian bank, charted by the canadian government. t there was only three or four banks as opposed to the radical expansion of state banking and national banking in the us. the canadian bankers first of all had experience inad exp international expansion within canada itself. when you think about thehe movement of institutions like the bank of nova scotia to montrÉal to toronto and in the west, winnipeg, vancouver following the movement of the canadian pacific railroad, so they had already developed a sense of how you conquer space, basically. it was easy for them to move into the caribbean because they had this experience overseas. if you think of western canada as being overseas to the maritime provinces. furth

option and the disa socog jamaica a coalition we will explain what that means. and a bottle of water and it will be the coalition of the greens and and and and. liberals and and as they do anand damned that this will. a coalition that will be hard very hard to fall when it will take a lot of time. and as they are very open now how this will play out in. doboau what do you say this said the outcome of this election is being described as a reality check for germany especially in lightt of the a a fdc moving into e bundestag. now i think is a reality check control sound de. thirty percent of people who voted. for the fd votives a total. unrealistic forma parte could discuss that later so it's not a reality check. arm what i think is a very good thing is that the grand circle grand coalition to knock on the spd which calmed her and harm the spd. has been broken the spd's going into a position good thing suddenly. we're gonna have a a coalition of the center ride. a including the greens good thing. where the market is weakened or not she has a mandate the moment she'

will close its canadian branches and in making all the branches they have been jamaica, in haiti andin cuba. that when we don't have to go in and start a branch network. it wasn't a plan they came tot fruition but he gives you a sense of how powerful, important the canadian banks were at the time. what happened with the canadian banks is, there's a fairly stable and regulated canadian banking industry. banks were charted by the dominion government. there was only three of our banks as opposed to the kind of radical expansion of state banking and national banking inn the united states. and the canadian bankers, first of all, had experience internat international expansion withinin candidate itself, woul when youk about the movement of institutions like the bank of nova scotia from halifax to montrÉal to toronto and then to the west. following the movement of the canadian pacific railroad. they had already developed a sense of how do you conquer space basically. so it was easy then for them to move into the caribbean because they had this experience overseas, if you think of western ca

of arkle will have her for sure will like her made shots and she was lucky for the jamaica coalition for those of you not following the election so closely now wondering what exactly that means here's a breakdown of what could happen in just a few weeks time there was a. german parties really emerge with a solid majority from the elections so when it's over the try to make friends which is not easy after having tried hard to undermine each other's policies during complaining but the good news is for the politicians you can always see story we can't keep our election promise because our coalition partners won't let us which is not good news for the voters though you might ask so what was the point when you basically get a program that you didn't vote for. there is no guarantee that what you as a voter would like. to see in terms of politics going to really turn out there is no guarantee that you will be in the majority after the election and therefore there is no guarantee that what you as a voter want to be turned into politics will really work out in this way. so what kind of govern

jamaica coalition between the c.d.u. the f.d.p. the who are the liberals and then of course the greens as well. kate brady with the latest on the streets of berlin thank you so much. so as we mentioned a short while ago the far right a.f.d. will be the third largest party in parliament entering the bundestag for the first time this after having been a magnet for controversy here in germany with their deliberately provocative campaign let's take a closer look now at what the a.f.d. has and store for the country. it was the results they'd been dreaming of not only has the f.t. made its sense of the german parliament it's become the third biggest party many calling it a seismic shift the day after the leaders a promising to change the country. german government whichever way it is formed shall dress warmly we will hunt them. we will hunt mrs machall or whoever and we will take our country and our people back again. and so we call him. the i am diva the n.f.t. was elected for its content for its positions such as the people

hell of a lot of pressure because there are there's the expectation that she might be able to form a jamaica coalition this is a this unprecedented coalition with free democrats and greens it's been tried at regional level here and working quite well in stein but at national level and. something very new very difficult to put together because those two smaller parties are you know there's a lot of blue sky between them in terms of policy particularly on things like europe on migration on tax cuts for businesses now but it's also a problem because of course america's party has sort of two parts christian democrats and the bavarian conservatives and they're saying they want to push to the right in particular on the immigration question have a much clearer tougher policy in particular also to deal with the rise of the far right and so she's she's kind of under pressure from all sides it's going to make it extremely difficult to put together a coalition in these circumstances and don't forget her party has just brought in the worst results it's had since nine hundred forty nine so there's a real

but there will be a jamaica coalition, there will be a jamaica coalition, the yellow of the liberals,blacks, making up the flag of jamaica. and greens and the blacks, making up the flag ofjamaica. and one of the small parties, the head of the fdp, has been most influential when it comes to brexit talks, so we will see if they have any influence during the debates that continue on brexit this week. thank you. labour has promised to review all pfi contracts has promised to review all pfi co ntra cts if has promised to review all pfi contracts if it is re—elected. the pledge to the party conference in brighton came as keir starmer suggested that the uk could remain in the single market and some form of customs union following its departure from the european union. some delegates criticised the leadership during a passionate debate at the party conference. eleanor garnier reports from brighton. all smiles as they try to put on a united front but there is no hiding it. it is plain for all to see. divisions in labour over brexit once again coming to the fore. what i wa nt to again coming to

a jamaica coalition remains the top option but talks could be tough as one party said they would not agree to a tie up at any price. merkel also kept the door open to a rerun of the grand coalition with the center-left s spd. >> translator: we will look to start discussions with the spd and the greens i believe it's important that germany gets a good, stable government i heard what the spd said about going into opposition, yet we should stay in contact. >>> angela merkel struck a note of caution ahead of emanuel macron's speech on reforms merkel said she wanted to see countries become more competitive. macron hoped to work closely with merkel on reforms, but the election forced the chancellor to strike a much more moderate tone let's talk about this with len grabe taylor yesterday we did see some spread widening that seems contained this morning do you think that was a knee jerk reaction? >> yeah. it's more of a longer-term perspective how to trade the german election result i think the possibility of future liability sharing has done down with the fdp likely to coming into any cole

the other possibility we also heard is the so-called jamaica coalition that would be c.d.u. c.s.u. and their preferred coalition partner the f.t.p. they are a tried and tested team they've done it before alone they can't do it not enough seats here but with the green party yes we could actually look for the very first time at a jamaica coalition plus thirty three seats that looks like a stable government at that and finally just to check if this is actually a possibility to rule out the c.d.u. c.s.u. all together and start looking at the s.p.d. they would have to join forces with the left party and with the green party and this is the government that we have in the german capital at the moment in berlin but not enough so right now we are looking at two real possibilities of a governing coalition given the fact that the dea suggested they're not really into joining any government brant thank you very much if you are just joining us now. you're watching the w. news our special coverage germany decides and the first consequence is the first repercussions of what the voters have decide

the grand coalition as thomas just told us which is very likely and that leaves the option of the jamaica coalition that means a coalition of conservative bloc at the variances the party and her conservatives in the rest of germany the greens and the liberals and it's going to be very very tough because as i said this party is in a process of soul searching what went wrong in the last four years they are asking themselves has moved their party too much to the center and we're already hearing voices from the very insistent of this conservative blog that tends to be a lot more conservative saying we have to move the debate more to the right we have to address the issues that made voters vote for the far right so address issues such as migration and integration more thoroughly be stricter on that than. has been in the past years and that will prove very very hard in these coalition talks with the green party especially who are tending to be more on on migration than for example the liberals and the c.d.u. is so it promises this is only one topic of debate at least the greens and the liberals

last night rule themselves out so now we're various all this talk about this jamaica coalition given that the s.t.p. was so definitive about this last night why is i'm going to merkel today still talking. about calling them and going into negotiations well she basically wants to explore every possible option she might have we heard in that sound bite from her earlier she's interested in forming a stable and strong government if she runs into difficulties with the two parties that you mentioned the business friendly free democrats and the green party environmental party she may well wish that she had an alternative and it would be unwise to rule anything out with at least without at least trying but i think there's also a lot of tactics in this her bargaining position clearly is weaker if she has only one alternative and house to go to the greens and the free democrats if she can at least claim look you know i'm going to talk to the s.p.d. who knows maybe they'll change their minds she has a little bit more leverage a little bit. and so those two potential coalition partners the diffi

being on everyone's lips because that's the way the colors of the flag of jamaica the jamaica coalition black gold and green would be if there was a coalition between i'm going to see a c.d.u. and the green party and the free democrats now that is still to be decided upon that will be thrashed out in the hours in the days perhaps in the weeks to come and we know that the two smaller parties involved will very probably have to consult their party membership to guarantee that they will agree to it but if they want to go into government that is their only vehicle but the point to make here from this election as you say it's a strange victory for england now for because effectively she will have nearly one hundred fewer members of parliament from her party in the next parliament and as a resounding the alternative for germany party is likely to have eighty eight members of parliament which makes them a considerable bloc in the parliament so the question will be what questions rather will be what sort of government can angle americal lead going forward and what sort of role will the alternat

tongue they going with the jamaica coalition being gone merkel needs to do that to make a coalition of course is the coalition with not just c.d.u. c.s.u. grouping but also with the greens and with the free democrats as well that you make a coalition it's called because well their party colors make up the colors of the jamaican flag we go with the berliner morgan post also talk about make a coalition the reason so much is going into that well the reason for that is it's going to be really difficult because if angela merkel wants to and this is in the national the frankfurter allgemeine saying very similar things saying that is going to need to do a lot of talking in order to be able to come to some kind of ripple more with with these other parties we're talking essentially a four party coalition here this is literally point though isn't it because you know all the papers are saying ok fair to completely there's only one option left the jamaica option that's not true is it there's a lot this might not happen i love that you've us this deal it's one of those you are the one that goes for

>> jamaica, difficult to negotiate, find common ground, i expect movrnnths, and you still have to ask the party members of the greens and probably the liberals if they go along with i guess this will be the solutio solution >> you're an expert on merkel. perhaps you can share your view of her being able to do that >> she was actually thinking of not running again last october and november and the final decision was actually made after donald trump was elected. she saw the west tumbling. she decided germany could not afford that same fate. >> is that also the reason that she's sort of the anchor of stability in germany, that she is so high in the polls, or actually quite successful with voters in germany? >> she stands for something that the germans like stability, calm, predictability. she's down to earth. she's not pretentious. since we're living in extremely ideological times, this woman is what's in fashion. this is her success story. >> let's talk about her vision of europe. it seems she's getting carried away with mr. macron, about how europe could look in the future. do you thin

the differences too big you think and so as a couple of people have said today it's a long way to jamaica but i think in the end this will be the governing coalition for the next four years and america has quite some experience now with forging coalitions and i think this is these parties will come together in the end specially everything that we've heard and seen today they really signaled that they are going to do it they want to do it and in the end the supporters will likely come around especially for the smaller parties when there will be concrete policies where the party leaders can come back from the negotiations and say if we're in government this is what you're going to get if you're not in government you want it looks like the under machall c.d.u. even though the strongest partner in this they will be the junior partner in these coalition talks with the two king makers the greens and the liberals. as always with under them i think we shouldn't underestimate her again in these coalitions they are by far the lot of the largest party and i think she will she will like that central

too many answers so far yes and this is in this trace and why i like to describe the potential for jamaica coalition that it definitely is a lot less fun than it sounds because you can imagine that german chancellor who has been. basically organizing those sanctions against russia in the past she was the main person here in europe doing that and across the table you have to send enough from the free democrats who basically already declared crimea dead last that's what i think we have i'm going to ask you to let the russians have it so what's the message. we don't have enough time to try and find some middle ground between not that's just a start is going to be foreign minister. he's already said that thank god he could be fine and mr finest for instance they wouldn't be bad. but liberal in charge of that of that office and if for instance the greens if jim is jimmy of the greens who by the way is very friendly with. the they they call each other by the ninety's . but if he is foreign minister and i'm sure he's not going to go along with giving russia the crimea he will support the sanction

big topic and at least in the papers the policy by politics buffs might read the question what is a jamaica coalition because of course in america with a presidential system a two party system defect a two party system the idea that i'm going to america has to deal with a number of parties to form a government is a bit strange and puzzling but basically once again that's not the main issue people are focusing the fact that under the macro remain chance of them another thing that's kind of puzzling to americans the fact that merkel is going to be a four term chancellor now how do you think u.s. german relations are going to look in the years to come. well it's pretty much the expectation that there will be business as usual to a certain extent even donald trump an american who have very different personalities have been trying over the past few months to establish some kind of working relationship and on the working level when you look at the secretaries and you look at the heads of departments in both governments they really have been trying to work together everybody tells us how important

coalition between the cpo, so—called jamaica coalition between the cfo, the liberals and the greens.me to form this coalition. —— the tarmac. 60% of germans want this coalition. so there is quite a lot of pressure on there is quite a lot of pressure on the government. —— the cdu. there is quite a lot of pressure on the government. -- the cdu. they feel there has been too much compromising. you'll especially the greens, who are pro—eu and in the sense of what the bavarians don't like. more money to southern states, so it's going to be very difficult but other thing that will put pressure on them is the afd, the right wing party. so, ithink pressure on them is the afd, the right wing party. so, i think there isa right wing party. so, i think there is a sense in germany that the need to form a coalition, a solid one, soon, because the majority have in mind 80% of the people did not vote for afd, they see us as a threat. maria, in terms of how it is perceived in the rest of europe, as mentioned, emmanuel macron this very ambitious plan to reshape, certainly the eurozone part of the eu. b
