And health policy. Our Political Correspondent kate brady is at the social democrat headquarters in berlin where the negotiations took place kate the talks are going into overtime what does that tell us. Well clearly despite all of the progress that we saw last week in areas such as climate and education and also with that refugee policy there are still many obstacles to overcome here but at the same time of course it shows that none of the three parties involved in these talks are ready to give up just yet so last cling bille the general secretary of the s. P. D. Came out earlier and said that negotiations had ended for tonight and theyll resume tomorrow so lets take a listen to what else he had to say. Its got a good mines only just now in top level talks weve decided that there are policy issues we still need to talk about where the parties are far apart so that we need detailed concentrated negotiations so weve jointly decided that we wont be talking to the ninety instead were back here at ten tomorrow to concentrate solidly on continue talks and press on with our deliberations. Are as theyve given themselves the night off their meeting back up tomorrow what topics are still causing trouble here was the main obstacles now live really in social policy more specifically with those limited work contracts in germany and also with Health Insurance reforms now the c. D. U. In the c. S. T. The two conservative parties in these talks have ruled out any sweeping changes to that Health Insurance system which is something that the s. P. D.

Without doubt even with the negotiations continue in tomorrow theres nothing to say that well see a graham the Coalition Deal on the table of course thats a scenario that chancellor Angela Merkel definitely doesnt want to see isnt she to only be left with the choice of leader in a minority government which shes ruled out on several occasions or we might even see snap elections here in germany all right a lot can still happen thats Political Correspondent kate brady thanks very much.
