story a just a breaking and details are coming in as we are on the air political correspondent kate brady can tell us more now katie this hasn't been entirely unexpected but it still took a long time what have you learned. it did take a long time there but i mean the talks that were being held today behind me in the chancellery only took a couple of hours so obviously there was a compromise ready on the table today that the conservative leaders angela merkel and hall say who are for who coincidentally is mawson's boss presented to the social democrats leader and they analysis is of course are quite curious turn of events he mohsen has been fired but he has now effectively been promoted and he will still work and interior minister a host they will for and will effectively now be one of his under-secretaries one of his many deputies in fact so this is still a curious case of events and it will be interesting in the coming hours in the next couple of days to see exactly how this compromise was reached particularly with regards to the stans of the social democrats. coalition partners in this

or here at the table with me i was a political correspondent kate brady she has been on the story all day the story of the fate of mr moss and i think it's safe to say that everyone expected him after today or sometime this week to no longer be head of domestic intelligence but what comes after that i think none of us was expecting exactly they were very wise today in berlin that they that the coalition they does was going to reach a compromise but it was unclear all day exactly what that would be of course now we found out that as well as losing his position as the chief of germany's domestic intelligence service is actually at the same time the. promoted which as you mentioned has now brought into question the credibility of the government and already this criticism for many m.p.'s particularly on a social media questioning whether. these accusations of disloyalty and even incompetence that have been reported from mahsud if that's the new benchmark then what does that mean for the koreas implicit expense it is as an excellent point if people or from the outsider looking at this stor

political correspondent kate brady is covering developments for us kid mr moss's removal from the post as head of germany's domestic intelligence age as the head of that intelligence agency hasn't been entirely unexpected but how surprising is this outcome because there have been rumors floating around in this afternoon into the evening of a compromise being on the table from the conservative coalition leaders and that that was evidently presented to social democrats need to and they are not as this afternoon so it doesn't come as a complete surprise but at the same time this has taken quite a bizarre ten zero because this is a very curious compromise of course mohsen has indeed been fired from his position as the domestic intelligence chief in germany but effectively he is now being promoted and will now be working as a state secretary in the interior ministry of course not going to be hearing from the coalition party leaders this evening and we are expecting to hear more details from the interior minister. tomorrow and of course people will also be asking is what did the social democ

over north joining me now here in the big table by political correspondent kate brady she's been on the story for us kate i guess we could say we expected one of two outcomes today right we expect him either to be fired or to resign i mean what really happened it left a lot of people it really hasn't been a lot of criticism all right day by politicians in the opposition paul. but also from members of the social democrats difficult they were also involved in this decision making today with marcos conservatives in the coalition government and there's been a lot of confusion as to how someone can be fired and then actually promote a higher position someone that has been accused of disloyalty and also not fulfilling their role properly yet how did we get to this surreal decision today members of the german parliament we wanted to point out they voiced their concern over mr mostyn and they voiced a right here on this program the doubts did not rise overnight i want you to take a listen to what two members of parliament told me right here on the day one is a member of the german chancellor c.

of responding brady on some very surreal politics here in germany kate thank you. he was probably poisoned that is what doctors here in berlin are saying about a member of the russian activist group pussy riot buter became ill last week after a court appearance in moscow losing his vision and his ability to speak he was rushed to the german capital for medical treatment tonight he remains in intensive care for observation but doctors say he is no longer in danger of dying. touchdown on safer ground the medical transport plane carrying people to visit off arrived at berlin airport in the early hours of sunday. paramedics then took vessel off to the charlotte a hospital where doctors confirmed what his relatives and friends had suspected it was billed to us as you will see it's beautiful dr with our current diagnosis it does indeed seem highly plausible that we are dealing with a poisoning. here we have no indication that there could be any other explanation for his current condition the reason for and. there's a lot is a member of russian protest group pussy riot an

let's get more from political correspondent kate brady welcome kate what are you hearing will martin still be had of germany's domestic intelligence service by the end of the day. well that is indeed the big question waiting to be and said this evening karen by then and at the moment so far today we've heard very different reports on the one hand we're hearing some names already being thrown around as to who could replace germany's top spy chief and at the same time we're also hearing reports that there could soon be a compromise on the table. germany's interior minister and the german chancellor angela merkel are already meeting here in the chancellery behind me so there is talk that there could be a compromise on the table once the social democrats leader in on this arrives and she's expected to arrive in the next few minutes but of course any compromise is going to be a very difficult pill for the social democrats to swallow and they are very keen to see hands mohsen germany's chief spy kicked out of the intelligence the domestic intelligence agency it's only been a few months sin

and tracking all these developments for you is a political correspondent kate brady who is joining me here in person good to see you can't know mr moss's a removal from this post it's not very unexpected development i think a lot of people were saying that this was untenable what is surprising though is the solution that they've come up with exactly it's this compromise that they've reached for which really is quite curious and arguably quite surreal in fact mohsen has now effectively been promoted so of course he has been fired from his position as intelligent as the domestic intelligence service chief but he is now going to be working very closely to germany's interior minister hosts there whole thing and he will now be one of his deputies so this really has been quite a bizarre turn of events talk to us about this specific post so basically now he will be a state secretary in germany's interior ministry and that position is one of the highest jobs that you can have in a ministry without the in the ministries leader having hosts the whole position so this is a big jump for mohsen. o
