chancellor merkel delivered her response to andrea nonis his resignation a short while ago let's take a listen to what she had to say. yeah we can talk my good afternoon ladies and gentleman. and knowledge has made a very significant decision today both for herself personally and for the social democratic party of germany and i think i would like to express the respect i feel for the decision under the analysis you made i have worked together with her for many years both as gymnast of labor and social affairs and as social democrat party leader parliamentary group leader i always worked with her on the basis of trust and everything she said was completely reliable. that she is a social democrat through and through that can certainly be said but i also think she's a decent person. for dinner and of course i respect the decision you know that the social democratic party will have to make in terms of a successor for under the analysis but despite that i would like to speak on behalf of the government and say that we will press on with the work of governing this country with all of the se

her announcement comes as her posse is agonizing over its future following a double election defeat nonis was under pressure to german voters handed the social democrats their worst ever result in last month's european elections the s.p.d. also lost a regional election in the states of braman for the 1st time in more than 70 years . now has had this to say about how to discussions in the parliamentary group and feedback from the policy have shown that i no longer have the necessary support to carry out my juices on monday i will therefore resign as chair of the s.p.d. i don't choose day i will resign as chair of the s.p.d. parliamentary group and the s.p.d. is the junior partner in germany's governing coalition with the conservative c.d.u. and the cd use leader unexplained come on by i made a statement a short while ago let's take a listen now to what she had to say. gentleman the com hi i'd like to extend to one welcome to all of you i have come to speak about the resignation of. the party leader of the social democrats. and formed me this morning about her plan to resign as social democ

andrea nonis has left but not without saying goodbye heart shaped michiru i've just said goodbye to the s.p.d. party executive committee. organ i have resigned. and i also wanted to personally thank you for years of good teamwork. you've spent many many hours here in the valley beyond house thank you for that take cap. and his resignation as party leader and parliamentary party leader is the main focus of german news media as is the question how will the grand coalition of the s.p.d. and merkel c.d.u. continue. to go 5 it'll be the end of the grand coalition if it continues this way or they'll change something and then we'll see what the new plan is and then maybe. it's the end of the grand coalition it's going to be the s.p.d. the f.t.p. and the greens now the s.p.d. has put on the brakes stop have a rethink and turn around as a temporary solution a trio of leaders will take charge of the s.p.d. . it's not just a question of which heads will lead but instead of what is new after all we've switched people a lot already and the question is what does the s.p.d. stand for the s.p.d. earthq

members of the social democrats had mixed reaction to nonis this surprise announcement let's take a listen. and so i was never a fan of knowledge but the way they treated her recently they would never have done to him and 100 percent of what. they think this is i think it's a good step towards a new start for the s.p.d. now all votes can be counted democratically. in the caucus all the emphasis and i do think it's going to the s.p.d. will go wander. into. hands one of the women there saying that no man would have been treated the way under e-mail us was treated what do you say to that. yes i think there's an element of truth in that the social democrat party has been governed has been controlled by fairly old men for a long time and especially in recent days the personal attacks against andrea and others even in public have become really quite sharp quite vitriolic and i think there is an element of how shall i say of anti woman sentiment in there from from the establishment in the party at the same time one does have to say that she does have as i say to an abrasive 1st person out of she

i was never a fan of nonis but the way they treated her recently they would never have done lent to him and $120.00 but since they think this is i think it's a good step towards a new start for the s.p.d. now all votes can be counted democratically understood you know cotter's all names is an issue i do think it's going to the s.p.d. will go on and. on joe. johns one of the women there saying that no man would have been treated the way under analysis was treated what do you say to that. yes there is some element of truth in that it's a political party that has been dominated by alpha males as you might say a fairly older male members of the party and they are in fact the ones that have mounted to the attacks against her in recent days one has to say at the same time that i'm glad. this is personality is rather a brace of she tends to have a language that can be damaging or hurtful as well and in some cases not very thought through her statements are difficult to to some make by some members of the social democratic party so it's a bit of both it's partly because she is a woman and partl

action losing more than a 1000000 voters to them so this is very much a response to those failings now nonis was seen as a fresh hope really wasn't she for the s.p.d. someone who could bring back voters off to massive losses in the last national election what's gone wrong so quickly well there really was some hope there but at the same time she faced criticism from day one of course there were many skeptics and critics within the social democrats who had advised against going into yet another grand coalition the so-called grand coalition with angela merkel's conservatives and there was that hope that the next leader of the social democrats would move the party away from the center of germany's political spectrum and move them back towards the left to redefine the party's profile and redefine exactly what it is that they stood for and we can take a look now at a piece here about andrea knowledge and exactly what she stood for and her political career. fund to be enormous 1st joined the social democratic party more than 20 years ago as the leader of the party's youth organization she studied g

analysis i'm joined in the studio by political correspondent kate brady kate thanks for joining us nonis was supposed to put her leadership of the parliamentary group to vote on tuesday why this sudden resignation caylee she's taken this decision into her own hands and as you mentioned that was for the position as parliamentary group leader but in this decision today she's actually announced it will be standing down as party leader as well to separate. positions in the social democrats to huge decisions to make and this is clearly a very direct reaction to those really quite dismal results that we saw just a week ago in the elections with the s.p.d. now sacked as the 3rd strongest party in germany they walked away with just under 60 percent of the votes dismal for any party but especially for a woman that is currently in the governing coalition of course they are currently governing germany with merkel's conservatives what does this mean for the for the s.p.d. well clearly they have a lot of soul searching today right now and they say is going to really be interesting to see how the soci

in the biz the lads who put a burden in the business for nonis knew that and in a lot of gaza it was sort of like. we have him up a good amount of. time. i'm not against it would see it is god's gift. but the rest of it the beauty it was is which alan islam in the. midst. of the augusta. elemental the way to do things. well. his will be. just look something appropriate as the muslims call him also some some microamp yoshi. 7 lodging brought them in the images just. he joined us on he's been released we're going to meet there was something in my he thought was on the other side i was it was a limited as. well to see it would be a lead on muslims cannot show you had them with him. gov so pros love to really come up with plasterboard do you know what you have the use of the good bits it was the choice was a nice red name troia. will call me a name for super geysers who got is who knew some of us when i would be in the post by taco bell don't normally approach would argue and it will question it will crash in to illuminate on if you get. stuck in i've got a nice thought it quite nice whe

and with those initial arguments that they have sketched out i think there are rooms steel to agree nonis early on the composition of the supreme council but also on the other institutions and there is a way in which they can go in and distribute power more evenly i think that is a much better position if if the opposition has to compromise and if this transition means going incrementally i think that's a much better position than the situation we have now or the possible solution of the current situation a bit here with the protesters sit and talk with is that are willing this from the military to talk out well. so the military council or the studio or you know our mr rhetorical it is open to discussions so you know the parties are very well known on the one hand you have the military council on the other hand you have the forces for freedom and change we can still go bag and negotiate and i agree on a deal and i think there are things that the military council has to compromise and also things that the opposition group can be words ok and we'll have to wait and see if either side will b

democrats and one of the body's most well known politicians welcome cuff and folk now and then known nonis has gone and she was very much in favor of this grand coalition with tug gone is the coalition of america make of government now under threat this is a possibility but not a likely one what makes you say that because i know the party i know of the interest of this court and was bad for the 2 parties christian democrats lost the social democrats lost in law. the results of this coalition were good for the country and we have seen this clash between so to say the policy results and support among the voters in the last year is it has been long process already and i think it would not stop if you worked for the commute breaks this correlation no end but the it really not be a refute it is also clear that the next coalition will not be a coalition between christian democrats and social democrats do you think that given that you think was good for the country because off majority of people polled say they do not want the so-called grand coalition between these 2 of the 2 parties so do you t

elections and so right now of course this is yet another the decision of nonis the social democrat party leader is yet another blow to this coalition of course that really brings into question the credibility of the social democrats they don't really know where they stand for themselves so it does beg the question how if you don't know exactly how and where you stand as a party yourself why do you position yourself within a coalition and of course that is something that the social democrats have suffered from in previous coalitions with merkel's conservatives as well where they've lost a lot of credit for some of their main proposals and main bills that has all gone to in the favor of really of angela merkel and her conservatives whether that's about the minimum wage. equal rights the equal marriage rights ory. and so this is really going to have an effect on that coalition exactly to what extent will have to say but of course as you mentioned just before some of the criticism that we were hearing about this decision of this is to stand down a social democrat party leader that really isn

citizens as well as noni am grant tell pore requirery foreign population. until 2009 the commonwealth controlled its own immigration policy for the foreign work force. today the department of homeland security manages the application and eventual permits for any foreign people entering the commonwealth to work. since 2009, the transitional worker program was forward-looking which left a certain portion of the existing work force who resided in the commonwealth for many years in a gray area. h.r. 5 a 59 is an approach to resolve any uncertainty for these long-term foreign workers. i want to thank the governor of the commonwealth for his help and mr. sablan. while the policy containt in this measure fair for long-term foreign workers in the mariana islands, i am deeply disappointed the majority didn't consider it this bill through regular order. neither the natural resources committee nor the judiciary which received an additional re federal have acted on this referral. no hearings, no markup. it is my hope the majority truly believes in following the rules t
