parliamentary party leaders of all three parties so in the middle we have andreea knowledge of the new parliamentary party leader of the social democrats and very much the center of power now in the social democratic party. to her. let me see right is for a counter he remains the parliamentary party leader of. chancellor merkel's christian democrats a man of huge experience and a lot of influence those two hundred dollars and folk account of will need to strike up a very close partnership one of the key relationships in the next government because they will be securing parliamentary majority as for all the legislation that goes through and to the left of andrea now this. alexander door brint he is the new sector general of the c.s.u. the christian social union in bavaria so then now signing the coalition agreements once they are done we'll have the party leaders stepping up to the podium that will of course be ungrammatical. in the interim. social democrat leader all of schultz and. hosts the hoof of the c.s.u. with varian conservatives they will be stepping up to the podium in just a

expected to be she's the parliamentary party leader of the social democrats she's expected to be the party leader of the social democrats soon and i asked her about this and she really said look she got the majority that she needed now it's time to move on but yes of course i mean it could have been thirty five people voting more but looking back in history i mean she had forty one not voting in her favor in the past this is by no means the most the least opposing votes that she got or abstentions or people not to be on her side not voting in her favor and this certainly isn't the closes for many hasn't seen that was nine hundred forty nine with no getting exists the exact number of two hundred two votes . he needed so is there a sense of optimism there michel if and people you've been speaking to about the next government now going forward. well it's as you would expect everybody who's involved in the next government is after the fall of optimism but to be fair really the. opposition is well particularly the green party they all up for getting going talking to the alternative for ger

party leadership. let me now draw in our chief political editor mashallah cruz there she is at a parliamentary studios welcome what lies behind the so-called bitter rub between sigma gov bill and the s.p.d. party leadership. but we do we saw political friendship crumble there in those recent weeks which culminated in martin shultz the former head of the europe part of european parliament who then became the democrat party leader and and top cans in those past elections announced that he would intend to become foreign minister himself if there was another so-called grand coalition which will now see now upon hearing this guy with spoke of broken promises and he showed himself rather political injured and quoted his daughter saying to him dad don't be sad will spend more time together now and it's better than spending time with that man with the hair and the face now this quote was seen really as something does that disqualified him for holding any high office no matter the fact that martin source in the end was forced to basically withdraw his intention of becoming foreign minister himself there was alt

the parliamentary party because she needs to unite them because she needs to unite them because the labourkes of us and also it was aimed at the eu negotiating team. she is going michelle michel barnier, they have rather given up on him and his ridiculous demands over what he can say about that, —— giving up on. even the labor site at the positive things, as ifjason across as did jacobs rees—mogg. things, as ifjason across as did jacobs rees-mogg. what about the response from labor because they haven't got that at the giver in terms of deciding they are committed to the consensus on keeping the uk in the customs union which is exactly what theresa may said we are not going to do. she was to be out of the customs union but she wants most of the benefits of being in the union which is why she is very much a contortionist at the moment. labor has been on a torturous journey of its own which is why it wasn't until monday atjeremy corbyn committed himself to remain in the customs union to avoid turning kent into a lorry park when exporters have to fill in lots of forms and get paid in taxes whi

conservatives and the result will be announced on sunday now an interim party leader all of scholz and parliamentary party leader and anonymous made a statement before a vote counting gets underway later this afternoon let's have a listen we'll get that clip for you a little bit later on i'm hearing moving on well the vote has pitted the social democrats old guard who wants to belittle me against its strong youth wing who are calling for change if s.p.d. members block the coalition deal america will have to go back to the drawing board or germans will have to return to the polls. at the social democrats headquarters there's only one topic on everyone's minds the s.p.d. members vote the future of germany's next government now lies with this p.d. on saturday evening a truck when they arrive here carrying what must surely be germany's most important mayor delivery hundreds of thousands of on says to the question should the social democrats join a coalition with america's conservatives they will be counted here overnight with the results of the current fall from clear. germans have been patient for weeks expl

and party leader olaf scholz and parliamentary party leader has made a statement before a vote counting gets underway later this afternoon. as it was whatever happens the outcome will be a result that contributes to the s p t s continued unity because there will be a lot of people who took part in it through their vote and there have been an unbelievable number of people who have joined in the discussion within the s.p.d. this really brings us together and i think you can already feel that. his knowledge is if there is a negative result tomorrow or we have a political crisis hopefully there will be no negative result and i don't speculate about that at all on such a nice sunny day we should only expect good news. as we thank god. now this vote has pitted the social democrats old guard who are pushing for that grand coalition against its strong youth wing were adamant that working with merkel's conservatives is a big mistake for the party if asked beattie members block the coalition deal america will have to go back to the drawing board or germans will end up back at the polls. at the so

leadership and man who is the parliamentary form of parliamentary party leader i would put my bets on him. brady he's not that well known but that could soon change and how do you think this is going to play out in the s.p.d. do you think the s.p.d. goes into this local edition a bit reconned with the loss of sigma bill who we mention is well known and popular well this is a democrat a bruised and battered after being in coalition of with angela merkel and they took a leadership vote really of grassroots vote which was won by the positive two thirds version in favor of staying in this abusive political relationship as many feel it has been there was an argument they are going to get through he was saying that this is democrats to go into opposition. so they can be a giant again is how the leader of the youngsters the democrats put it well the party leadership got their own way and now they have to prove that a renewal of the party is possible despite being in the so-called grand coalition with under the michael c.d.u. c.s.u. right thank you very much for that assessment you're welcome

the parliamentary party to this thing they expect good news but is it any indication of toil in terms of the polling numbers as to how this could go well we really have no prognosis at old just yet but we are expecting the result to be extremely close of course has been strong campaigns across germany for the past couple of weeks from both the groups for and against another grand coalition with merkel's conservatives now if we do see a yes result tomorrow then we will see very little change or at least immediately very little change in germany as of course is the same coalition government as we have right now but if the s.p.d. members vote against another grand coalition that is when we would see germany's political game change completely merkel she would also be left completely alone she would have run out of potential coalition partners and then she'd just be left with two alternatives either she forms of minority government which she's already rejected on several occasions all we could still even see new elections in may and so in the event of you know a surprising no vote how woul

and they would become yet another victim of increased fragmentation now under the analysis of parliamentary party leader she is expected to fix it she's the person everybody's putting their hopes on right now but she also has to be very careful because. her potential predecessor i mean she's not elected into that position of party leader yet but martin sauls got one hundred percent from his own party that was a long fast full within the space of twelve months to then actually have to resign over these poor election results. the woman who put her name who signed her name under this coalition agreement pledging that she can yes renew this party put it back on its feet and at the same time fight off effectively. the german chancellor claiming too many policies and she says that with this minimum wage in germany effectively having been her political baby as minister to the christian democrats partially claim the rewards for that so a very difficult marriage if it comes together if it doesn't of course germany would see itself in a phase of political free for i don't like to use the word crisis becaus

palace of westminster, labour mps gathering for their weekly meeting, the meeting of the parliamentary labour partyhole issue of anti—semitism. normally, reporters like me will loiter outside the meeting, we have our ears leaning towards the door, and we will barely be able to hear anything. tonight, such was the passion, you could hear the contributions of some mps absolutely clearly through the door, through the wall. john mann, for instance, the chair of the all—party group on anti—semitism, clearly, could be heard, "what type of labour party is this? if we don't get our act together, we won't get elected and deservedly so." i have spoken to another mp at the meeting. "i have no idea what the party has become, i feel sick and ashamed most days." "the saddest thing is the number of collea g u es "the saddest thing is the number of colleagues willing to walk by on the other side, " this mp said," out of a dumb sense of loyalty." we spoke toa a dumb sense of loyalty." we spoke to ajewish a dumb sense of loyalty." we spoke to a jewish labour mp after that meeting. she said that she was heartened tha

it felt like the kind of prying open of the paint can of labour disagreement within the parliamentary partye election. that was shut by the general election because he proves so many people wrong. and he was allowed to get on with the job. his repeated reaction to the government positive response to the salisbury attack irritated to a huge degree a lot of labour mps. because they bluntly felt that it conveyed a message that it conveyed a message to the fleeting viewer of lesson of whose side you are on? and that opened up to include that he is not on the uk‘s side. his perspective is much more subtle than that. but it really angered labour mps. some of them fear that while the domestic platform that jeremy corbyn set up might be ambitious, it shows him side of being popular, but his foreign affairs and things are perhaps less so. chris, thank you for coming onto the programme. oxfam lost thousands of regular donors since it emerged that some finally, there has been much controversy over the role of social media in our in recent months. and secretary of state traditional culture and media su

well, it was announced to us in some detail at the parliamentary labour party tonight, but i haven'tu've had ? no, because i'vejust heard it a few short minutes ago. do you know how many the party has actually dealt with successfully? i can't give you the number accurately, emily, but it is a matter of record, and i am sure... the point is that these processes has have been far too slow, and we've got a new general secretary, and i think that is going to be top of her agenda, to address this issue, because people have quite legitimately said, "this isn't good enough," and i hear that absolutely clearly. let's get onto the solutions, then. thejewish community has recommended an independent body to perform an audit of the disciplinary process, an accompanying process so that all the complaints that have been ignored in the past can be sent through — would you back that? well, there has been an invitation for an early meeting with the board of deputies and thejewish leadership council, and that is going to happen imminently, so... why do you need that? you heard what they're recommendin

that there was too much going on within the labour party and we needed to send a letter to the parliamentaryas zero tolerance, the actions of the party have not supported those state m e nts the party have not supported those statements and it is time now that firm concrete action is taken from the top down wards to ensure that this almost daily litany of stories that cause concern about anti—semitism within the labour party has been taking place. firm action must be taken. what would firm action look like? there are three areas. first, when they say zero tolerance to anti—semitism, they should mean that. that means that people should be expelled from the party and there are some outstanding case in which that would be the right outcome. anybody trying tojoin the party be the right outcome. anybody trying to join the party who held be the right outcome. anybody trying tojoin the party who held or expressed anti—semitic views should not be allowed in and people should stop saying that this, these accusations are a form of a construct accusations are a form of a co nstru ct to accusations are

approach, germany is setting that out, listing the concerns of the community, those within the parliamentary labour partyparty sorting itself out because there is a genuine concern that it's gone on too long and members of your own party, onejewish too long and members of your own party, one jewish mp too long and members of your own party, onejewish mp said, even though we mentioned the >> reporter—macro: years ago, anti—semitism is more commonplace, conspicuous and corrosive than ever before. it's not a case of questioning whether it's going to be sorted, it has to be sorted and that action needs to be taken this week come as soon as action needs to be taken this week come as soon as possible. it's clear there are people who don't have faith in the party process in tackling anti—semitism and that has to be addressed by the wider party, the national executive committee and all members of the parliamentary labour party, we are all part of an labour party, we are all part of an labour party, we are all part of an labour party family and we have to work together to stand by anti—semitism and it has to be d
