scholz shot to the top of the s.p.d. just a year ago but since then his popularity has hit rock bottom. but come on wouldn't admit of course you get hurt but time heals all wounds and i'm sure the social democratic party will get back to its form a strength in government with and to nonis at the top and with the members support in the fullness can you know so i was not cuffed so we couldn't understand nala says until march to convince the s.p.d. four hundred sixty thousand members to approve the grand coalition with merkel's conservatives. like us. there's a lot of convincing to do our political correspondent nina hawza joins us now in the studio good morning nina can you walk us through the events of yesterday unbelievable s.p.v. meeting it is quite astonishing brian just before the meeting we actually had a few notes from leading s.p.d. members who said no problem and then others will become the new party chairwoman we're fairly convinced and then at me saying we saw that actually party leadership seem to have bowed to

course is a strong sense of relief at the moment you know the leader of the social democrats martin scholz talked about the new government's plan for a new awakening for europe let's look at this clip here and listen to what he had to say about the deal. with this coalition agreement the federal republic of germany will return to an active in leading role in the european union and it will i hope along with close cooperation with the french government make the european union strong enough to meet the major international challenges. in security policy on climate policy and the fight against tax avoidance as well as the fair trade and international competition in which the german economy participates and can add value to which germany needs throughout europe. people to sort of. follow. martin holds their announcing ambitious plans do you see this as somewhat of a reset button that he's trying to press and what kind of reception are these ideas going to get in europe. of course he needs to try to sort of reform it himself as the strong and the great european that many people saw him before he

agreement to enter government if scholz insisted on becoming foreign minister he met the party to a record low vote share in september's elections before reluctantly brokering a coalition deal with conservatives. in just three days martin shultz has managed to hit both a political high point at its low point on wednesday after a long and exhausting wrangling his pride in once meant we have a coalition agreement in a marathon session of talks lasting more than twenty four hours the two parties had fought argued yelled at each other and finally agreed. use of i can see that we had a strong influence on this agreement and we are grateful that in the end we achieved some compromises that were hard for the conservative side to accept. shultz negotiated well for the s.p.d. and rested key portfolios from the conservatives he came away with the ministry of finance labor and official tim southee the foreign ministry all this despite the fact that he said he never wanted to become a minister and the government and was against another grand coalition. afterwards many people in the s.p.d. said he had

that is for one the foreign ministry which the former president of the european parliament monton scholz is maybe taking over as we are hearing but also the finance ministry which will be taking over the mayor of hamburg that is extremely important because germany has led a strong austerity course for southern europe for the recovery and europeans have been looking very closely to what's who will take over the finance ministry and if there might be a change of course and so the investment and further integration for europe and it looks like the chances now with the social democrats leaving that finance ministry and the very important post of course for the social democrats who are traditionally a party for the unions of the unions is the labor ministry and they will be leading that as well so three very very important ministry post for the social democrats and with martin shoals taking over possibly as reports say the foreign ministry post as you said there is strong speculation that he would give up his post as the head of the party and that that would be moved then to under nala says s

four months after the country's elections chancellor angela merkel from the conservatives and martin scholz from the social democrats and now nst the deal no it means merkel will keep the chancellor's post but the social democrats will have control of some the most important ministries of the deal does so have to be approved by that party's rank and file. more that story now with our political correspondent hans front with us here in our studio and also max hope i'm a standing by in a process good to have you both with us let's start with you as we said germans finally have a blueprint out for a new government if the s.p.d. rank and file approve it that is the next hurdle what did you make of this coalition agreement what is the vision here what stands out well the vote by the social democratic rank and file still has a dictate they say as you say but i think in the end they're likely to approve of the deal simply because the alternative is up to costly to contemplate as it were for new elections in which the social democrats would likely lose even more support if you look at vision in this

scholz shots at the top of the s.p.d. just a year ago but since then his popularity has hit rock bottom. but come on wouldn't admit of course you get hurt but time heals all wounds and i'm sure the social democratic party will get back to its form a strength in government with and to nonis at the top and with the members support in the fullness can you know so i was not cuffed so it couldn't understand until march to convince the s.p.d. four hundred sixty thousand members to approve the grand coalition with merkel's conservatives. i think. it's to kenya now where opposition groups are accusing the government of cracking down on the press and of stifling dissent after a contested presidential election opposition leader. staged a mock inauguration of themselves president now the government closed down t.v. stations planning to air that event most are now back on the air but as the dummy is counter to one bow reports the political crisis is far from over. for a little over a week katie and n.t.v. and citizen t.v. will be pul
