the leader of the spd will become germany's new finance minister. ministries of the interior, defense, construction, health, and labor will go to the spd. members of the three parties are expected to give their blessings to the deal in the next 10 days. simon: moving onto another of our top headlines, the three men who pursued ahmaud arbery whilst he was jogging and fatally shot him have all been found guilty. travis mcmichael was found guilty on all counts. his father, greg mcmichael was found guilty. and his neighbor, william bryan, who filmed the video, was guilty of the part he played in a murder. they will now be subject to sentencing and could face life in prison. the verdict was met by cheers from supporters of the arbery family. >> you can imagine it was a very tense moment in court as the jury returned. the judge read the verdict and all three men in these case were guilty of murder. ahmaud arbery's father let out an exclamation in the court. his mother looked very somber and was weeping. the three men remained expressionless. they will now

yellow is for the free market and ftp come of and then the red is for olaf schultz's spd, the social>> mikey message is, we have the traffic light. and on our negotiations, social democrats and free democrats agreed to the social contract and therefore a new governing coalition. we will put the contract to a vote in our parties. we will campaign strongly that all three parties will sign off on this grievant within the next 10 days. ros: while the parties agreed on a list of policies, among them are major climate goals including ending the use of coal by 2030 and germany getting 80% of renewables by the same date. there will be a minimum rage -- minimum wage of 12 euros and a plan to legalize cannabis, something younger voters support . all these voters will have to be voted for by parliament, but the three parties working together will have a solid majority come so that should happen. here is more from damien mcginnis in berlin. damien: this government is described as a modernizing young force. members of the parliament and ministers are younger than usually the case in germany, and

you have social measures of the spd for all of them.was important to really establish the party as a party of the left. it is your traditional social democracy. time ambitions. especially decarbonizing the planet. that featured heavily. the promise from the liberals to not increase taxes. that also features prominently. the other thing i would say is important is the commitment to investing more in the country. we know the criticism of germany. a very sophisticated advanced economy. in many ways stuck in the past. it has not been able to make the leap forward when it comes to technology and the digital space in the country. when this plan was presented, a lot of attention focused on the pandemic. it seems he wants to make it his number one priority. you have to deal with the pandemic. tom: what are the implications for the german economy? >> in terms of what this means for the german economy, that is the question. look at it in two different ways. there will be an increase in the minimum wage to 12 euros. that was something he said in t

we know the spd is very close to russia, but the greens are less close, and they will be at the centerf the foreign ministry side, so that will be important to watch as well. gina: one thing i think you brought up that is probably largely missed by the consensus right now is the international relations side because the euro has been dropping so ugly. you would expect the european economies to derive some benefit, considering exports, yet no one is really talking about what is happening with international growth and what is happening with china in particular. talk to us a little bit about how this coalition may approach export relationships in addition to international relations, and specifically the export relationship between europe and china and even just germany and china. bilal: i think it is going to be very difficult. china is going through a slow down at the moment. while there have been some signs of stimulus and china, i don't think it will be enough to generate a huge amount of growth. moreover, if you look at chinese growth over the last six to 12 months, most of it has come

than it did a year earlier and they say about the rigid police officers have retired or resigned from spd 18 months. what do you make of where you are tonight. two other big cities with real crime issues and the blow to the force. >> the defining nonsense, hopefully the numbers hold here in seattle where our community has woken up and they are pushing back against a nonsensical defunding narrative that sadly captured seattle's activist class and pushed it nationwide following minneapolis' lead. but, i tell you, it's given us hope that people impacted by the public safety calamity that these politicians put us in on the half of activist class that drives public safety political discourse are finally pushing back and waking up. it's very encouraging. hopefully it holds. >> i want to talk about this one race which we've talked about, from "the seattle times" today, normally at low profile, the contest is drawing national attention campaigning on an abolitionist agenda of ending most prosecutions while her could be the first elected in the city in decades. what is your fuel for that race? >>

both the spd and the greens are keen to make the recovery fund a permanent fiscal mechanism and bothties clearly have some ambition in terms of boosting german public investment in that direction. there are other coalition partners that are less enthusiastic about both of those, and it strikes me in terms of the agreement we have seen so far that the fdp are probably more keen on fiscal restriction and orthodoxy at home than they are opposing european fiscal develop and, so it may well be that the national fiscal rules still remain fairly strict in the long term you got to have a deficit below 3% of gdp, but there is scope for a federal fiscal authority over time to take some of the burden off of fiscal stimulus come away from national governments, to the euro area facility. guy: we spent a lot of the last hour talking about volkswagen versus rivian, the fact that you've got these stocks taking off in the united states, the people are concerned we are heading for a 2000 style bubble and then a burst. we had the financial stability report out today. we've got an idea of how the author

birgit: the spd you -- the spd is going to be in charge, and they are and they were a very strict regulationvaccination, but it is not clear because he is also a bit of a rebel and his party, and we know that scholz is not exactly keen on having such a rebel in the list of ministers. so we have to wait and see. in the end, it is not the minister who is going to determine the course of this government on corona. it will be to coalition that will be set up, the crisis corona cabinet meeting of the chiefs, and they will determine the course. tom: -- guy: thank you very much for the update. birgit jennen joining us from berlin. decembers german consumer confidence report released earlier this morning, coming in at negative one point 6% versus an estimated -1%. consumers in germany concerned about what is happening with the covid numbers. they are also concerned about the inflation numbers that they are seeing at the grocery, at the gas tank. there are plenty of reasons to be concerned. the bundesbank believes we could see german inflation spiking up to around 6%. this talk about how the markets

are crafting and discussing a mechanism of creating a digital way to provide that information to as spd by way of reports that contain evidence to support our policy findings and training findings so that sfpd can understand where you're coming from and how we came to that decision and can better implement any policy and training failures, solutions by seeing the whole picture of our cases because in the past they've basically gotten the report but not our analysis and not the underlying evidence that werelied on to make that decision . probably that will help them alsoimplement solutions when we bring these issues up . >> i know stacy mosher, you said the source of where you get your cases has an effect on why there's this discrepancy between the two but i guess maybe miss rosenstein addressed this. even if you don't get the complaints from the actual citizens, dpa provide that information to you and the chief has the ability to either sign off on these violations or not so there's an opportunity for the department to review what dpa considers a training failure or a policy failure. so
