another new government whether or not frank fight a persuasive force is going to sway the mind of martin short one has to wait and see it so far the social democrats since the election night since the twenty fourth of september have repeated many many times that they are not interested in joining a new coalition and we just heard martin short earlier today saying exactly the same thing. all right sara coming to you know what are the possibilities here if it's a minority government a new one or new elections it seems like we're heading towards new elections but why couldn't a minority government vote explain to our viewers why that is problematic. why minority government why is that doesn't seem to be as a viable option as new elections here right it seems well it's not something that has been tried in the federal republic of germany since basically the second world war and since its existence it's been tried on a state level in the in the biggest region and germany and north rhine-westphalia but there's no kind of experience with that and the expectation is that such a government would be very

say for sure is that there is increasing pressure on the social democrats and in particular on martin short to try and revisit their clear position off to the election on september twenty four on september twenty fourth so they had a very bad result they said our position in the next legislative period will be in the opposition we are not joining any other grand coalition with anglo merkel and that's a position that they the social democrats have maintained and have repeated even after negotiations to form a new coalition collapsed a few days ago obviously the german president func fired by steinmeier who is also a leading member of the social democrats may have increased the pressure on martin shows to try and rethink his position now martin shows is he talking to the leading leading figures of his party to see what they believe and what the next step should be coming from the social democrats if martin shorts were to resign just for the sake of this argument what that paves the way for the s.p.d. to join a potential coalition with a chance america. not necessarily because the s.p.d. and m

for going to discuss the meeting between martin short and president. we need some time to analyze that and. we can't solve in a few hours what others have taken two months to mess up. it's a tough choice for the s.p.d. to take political responsibility or chart a new course. warner let's talk to political analyst and journalist about a sauna he's with us here in the studio this morning good morning donna good morning the pressure it's on the s.p.d. right now to reconsider its position about forming a government with the conservatives and chancellor merkel how divided is the party on this issue the party is very much divided debate is absolutely against a new grand coalition at least most of them but the party leadership is meeting way into the night as you just saw and they have not made a firm decision but because it's pretty clear they want to go towards a new grand coalition now earlier in the week come out in shoals of the party's leader who we just saw behind you in there there in that picture he said the social democrats would not be joining a gra

well into the night again this morning several party leaders have said that they stand behind martin short in fact that they think that when he. when he puts forward his candidature as party leader at this coming party congress in two weeks' time that he will be reelected they think so it's not clear that in fact his position is threatened i think one can say amongst the rank and file of his party he is very well respected and is not really his his leadership is not questioned so it's really a very difficult position it's not clear to see either where martin short is going nor in fact where his party is going at the moment so with the possibility of the s.p.d. a coalition with the social democrats possibly on the table where does this leave chancellor merkel. chancellor merkel is in fact in a sense in quite a comfortable position because she is chancellor in an acting capacity at the moment or she will remain in that capacity as long as it takes to form a new government and if a new government is formed the likelihood is that she will remain chancellor then as well and in fact after the re

who think that martin short at least should be willing to sit down at the table with merkel with other parties maybe to try and discuss the possibility of a coalition but again sora this is at least for now still unclear whether they will move from that position that they mentioned september twenty fourth what's the reason for the opposition why don't the social democrats want to govern with miracle. the social democrats were in the so-called grand coalition for the past four years where they managed to present and also passed some of the key proposals but after they passed those key proposals the one who who actually took all reaped all the benefits was called not the social democrats and and after that in the elections september twenty fourth they had a terrible result a result that they partially blamed on the fact that they had belonged to a dodge grand coalition the pasta for years and that's what prompted them to announce that they were not doing that again that they had to rebuild the party that they had to reprogram all their different structures and that they wanted to do it f

leader martin short said the final decision on a possible coalition would rest with the party membership schulze had originally rejected the idea of a grand coalition after september's elections his shift comes out exploratory talks between the conservatives the pro-business liberals and the greens collapsed as failed talks are expected to be high on the agenda at a green party conference in poland today. and standing by for us at that conference to w.'s political correspondent. five in just a few days ago the greens were flirting with the prospect of being in government those hopes of now evaporated what's the mood at the party conference as it gets underway it must be quite deflated really. it depends really on who you ask there is certainly still many delegates here that are still quite disappointed and even angry because of this missed opportunity to form a government with american c.d.u. with a pro-business f.t.p. for first time on a federal level in germany and they definitely blame the pro-business f.t.p. for ending these talks they believe it was their fault they didn't show thei

leader martin short saying that no options have been rolled out at b. election after the election the first option he ruled out was forming another coalition government what's changed. well in the one hundred situation has obviously changed back then it seemed possible that there could be a so-called jamaica coalition fell between the conservatives the greens and the liberals that's obviously now of the table on the other hand the german president found. recently met with mr shows and asked him to reconsider his opposition to joining another grand coalition to reconsider that firm opposition at least they're still not very convinced that's the best case for now at least the social democrats and that's what we heard from mr schultz are going to sit at the same table and try to see if there is a common ground those are the two big elements that change and that helped schultz if you will to change course and reject that strict opposition to another grand coalition so what will the chancellor have to promise them offer them a lot of them back probably issue

any side whatsoever clearly there is a lot of tension within the social democratic party because martin short its leader and the entire leadership standing behind him have for me for weeks said that they are not going to enter into a coalition talks with the conservatives that they're not interested in having a rerun of the grand coalition that has run germany for the past four years but now with the pressure being piled on right here by the german president on to his social democratic party colleague to reconsider their decision obviously there are many discussions within the social democratic party to decide how to respond to that and there will be a meeting of the party of the ship later this afternoon after shorter spoken to the state president to try and decide how to respond to this pressure hans given all that what can we expect from this meeting between the president and martin. well they are both social democrats and the president frank fighter for many years was germany's foreign minister in this just the outgoing government of i'm going to now call in the grand coalition such time

resolve the coalition crisis present talk about their steinmeier has invited chance on america and martin short's of the social democrats to talks next week on forming a coalition government steinmeier is job may be made easier by some apparent backtracking by the social democrats after a late night talks the party's leadership said it would work constructively to find a way out of the crisis s.p.d. previously doubt joining any coalition with. p.b. party leader martin schultz is slowly backpedaling at a party had called a press conference he says because germany is in a complicated situation so his party will not refuse to talk about forming a new government. kind of. there is no fixed course in any specific direction but one thing is clear if talk show that we could consider taking part in a new government constellation. then the party members will vote on this. option in the s.p.d. is facing a crucial test at a meeting with s.p.d. leader martin schulz german president. reportedly pressed the social democrat to reconsider forming another grand coalition with the conservatives but with shultz us

party at martin short he has promised to let his party members vote on a possible coalition what do you make of that move because the party does seem to be pretty divided. well it is a way sumi of saying that the s.p.d. is open to discussing possible solutions to this situation but obviously that decision will not only be made by s.p.d. leaders but that by s.p.d. members as a whole in other words it's a way of saying that they will not continue their strictly opposition in their strict opposition to forming a new government a new coalition with angela merkel's conservatives but as you say that's right not everyone in the party agrees with this move whereas there are those who say that another grand coalition would harm the party even more after the elections on september twenty four there are those who have said on various occasions that the party can and can't simply stick to one position without considering future options for the party and also for the country what are these divisions mean for the future of martin schulz as the head of the party there were those rumors are circulating

leader martin short some leverage in playing this european card and saying this isn't just about germany it's about europe and taking responsibility for for for the e.u. here. and i just want to go back just to mention christian or a couple of times and matthew you've indicated that you believe that always in his motives were honorable and pulling the plug on the coalition talks we have no reason to believe otherwise there are many others however who asked the question is christiane who has suddenly become a sort. a relatively central figure in german politics is he charismatic or is he a rabble rouser is here is he a modernizer or is he. another wild fringe populist or. i don't think he's a fringe populist but he's certainly an opportunist and i think what you have to see is that linda took his career and his very young age and all his energy to rebuilding a party from scratch that was kicked out of the one is talking two thousand and thirteen and was basically at the point of vanishing into the delta and that's what i really give him credit for is that he took up the task and he went f

pressure is mounting on the leader at the social democrats martin short's to reconsider entering into a grand coalition. care must takes a look back at what unfolded in germany this past week. it's germany's worst political crisis in decades. on monday just one day after merkel's coalition talk lapsed as p. d. leader martin schulz said his party would not rejoin the. slurs the so called grand coalition. this despite the as p. d. being merkel government partners the past four year. fifteen i'm disease thst a spanish view of september's election results. and we are not available to join the so called grand coalition soon finished. sayfullo. if we are not afraid of new elections on fire and not nish. sold six to go into opposition after september's poll handed his party its worst election results since nineteen forty nine. but not all of spd wants to go into opposition such as president frank walter steinmeier who has urged schultz to reconsider talks. in a bid to avoid new elections steinmeyer has met with the leaders of the other potential coalition parties. the greens. and the pro bus

speculation they might want to reconsider there are indications we were expecting a statement from martin short's the leader of the social democrats at ten a.m. this morning instead of him a. much lower low ranking politician turned up and said we are still discussing issues there is a meeting of the social democrat party executive going on so that seems to indicate that they are perhaps not completely in agreement within themselves within the social democrats as to what to do i think it's likely that the president frank on my who's talking at two thirty p.m. this afternoon local time will appeal to all of germany's parties to put that the nation before the party that is something that has a tradition within the social democrats and i expect chancellor merkel to invite them to coalition talks that will then put them under an enormous amount of pressure they would have to stand up and say we are not available for that and i think that would damage them in fresh elections what we fresh elections is one option that's the most drastic option but there is another possibility which would be a minority

leader martin short's said exactly one week ago when those coalition talks collapse and then we're going to compare that with what he said today take a listen fifteen under. view of the election results of twenty fourth of september this year we are not available to join a grand coalition. so for. be assured we are not afraid of new elections. british of us have been under constant it's possible that we'll end up with a constellation that's unprecedented in german history we have no reason to fear that. sounds like he's hinting at you know a one eighty right there what does the speed the social democrats what did they have to gain by. the government in the grand coalition well it depends brant how they present that because they could present it as them being the saviors if you will of them being those who who made it possible germany to avoid new elections or or a minority government of i'm going to call if they presented that way they could even go to the negotiations of a grand coalition with a series of proposals and with probably better handed i'm going to merkel although it's also i

the chancellor says the alliance has proved to be very effective and the social democrats with martin shorts at the helm seem to have softened their position they had previously refused to deal with merkel again we are some members of germany's political parties about the recent twists and turns in the bundestag. my party has fraud from the beginning said that we are guided by principles we have been elected because we met it to modernize the country we entered into these negotiations with good faith and things went well in the first phase of the coalition talks with then ran into difficulties and the main obstacle was caused by the greens my party i think would be willing to resume talks if there is a meaningful outcome well this is very surprising to me so far she has always clung to power and i thought she would have sought another negotiate a solution so this is a surprise but everybody is putting this to f.t.p. but in the end to to make a coalition agree the f.t.p. the c.s.u. the c.d.u. was a very very unlikely construct a very strange construct that of course cannot work and we can see

will support minority coalition for example of conservatives and the greens do you think that martin short has been hard done by because when the coalition talks broke down this week and the three way coalition talks it didn't involve the s.p.d. it wasn't his fault he'd said from the beginning the s.p.d. wants to go into the opposition those talks fell apart and yet now he's the one who's being pressured to perhaps resign do you think that's fair no it's not fair but that's politics it's not always fair and he didn't expect that would happen like you would see it on sunday but now it's a new situation and we have to act now it's a new situation that is michelle don meyer who was an s.p.d. campaign advisor for many years in the past thanks for being with us. man maher and bangladesh have signed a deal to return grow hinge on muslims to their homes and man mark hundreds of thousands of people from the muslim minority group a flood across the border to bangladesh recently in order to escape what many are calling an ethnic cleansing campaign against them but it's still not clear how many of th

for the past two months martin short his position had been unequivocal defeat as badly as his party suffered in september meant opposition was the only thing they could enter into in this parliament but with changing times so his opinion has changed the failure of the jamaica coalition talks thrust his party back into the limelight could they consider talking during the americans government government party could they consider four more years in government until now apparently not but after a statement to reporters just a short his opinion has changed so it should for discussions lead to us helping to form a government in whatever form our party members will be able to vote on that the coming days and weeks will demand much from all those involved in our party in the media and the public we're entering into discussions with outcome it's not known low options off the table the point to make here is the danger that faces the social democrats because they were widely perceived to have lost voters in the last election precisely because of their membership of a grand coalition with angle a miracl

leader martin short some leverage in playing this european card and saying this isn't just about germany it's about europe and taking responsibility for for for the e.u. here. just like to go back just to mention christian a couple of times and matthew. you've indicated that you believe that always of his motives were honorable and pulling the plug on the coalition talks we have no reason to believe otherwise there are many of those however who asked the question is christiane clinton who has suddenly become a sort of a relatively central figure in german politics is he charismatic or is he a rabble rouser is here is he a modernizer or is he. another wild fringe populist. i don't think is a fringe populist but he's certainly an opportunist and i think what what you have to see is that linda took his career and his very young age and all this energy to rebuilding a party from scratch that was kicked out of the one is talk in two thousand and thirteen and was basically at the point of vanishing into the delta and that's what i really give him credit for is meant he took up the task and he

today but what if they were to say tomorrow or in a week from now it would then have to push out martin shorts again as the candidate for the don't know if he just lost one election you know he's got to hurry too but but but but the so for democrats they do have other phases it could be under they are not with the opposition leader now it could be the mayor of book shows shows that the shorts so they have alternatives and for the time being at least the christian democrats do not have a viable option what are you thinking yeah i'm thinking it's boring but i'm thinking the same i think but i don't. know i do think we need fresh elections we. i mean if if the president from father steinmeyer if he said you know this is not a collapse this is a breakdown that that semantics i don't see the difference between a collapse of the breakdowns me interpret saying what's the federal president ok but i just i just yesterday or the day before on sunday you told our newspaper that i was on talk that jamaica coalition should finally get their act together and finish the talks and come to them successfully no

it's been a day of meetings for the social democratic party leader martin short's first with his senior colleague the president of germany frank fattush fine meyer which was called at the request of the president basically to see whether mr shultz feels there's any possibility of being able to find a solution to the political and past that has developed since the weekend when the coalition talks between the other main parties collapsed and then there was a meeting for mr schultz with his senior party colleagues on the s.p.d. the social democrat board later in the afternoon the point to be made there is that mr schultz has been implacably opposed until now to the idea of another grand coalition with angle america's christian democrat party but increasingly voices of senior social democrat colleagues of his have said well look actually if there can't be a government of a different political hue maybe we should go back into government with angela merkel because germany needs to billet that's the point to make here that there are very many other factors at play not least on the european sca
