Standing side by side with the candidates they ran against in a show of solidarity what goes into our lives its our you know all social democrats thats something we really learned during regional conferences and this provides an important conversation for a lot lies ahead except i have to unite this party and invite our rivals to Work Together in the end it was just like the. Vice chancellor made the final ballots after making clear they wanted to maintain the governing grand coalition with nickles conservatives like the winners the defeated you emphasized the need for unity.

This is certainly the most important question now will they stay in the coalition with their kids conservatives they both were critical as you said and they said that they want to renegotiate the Coalition Treaty the Coalition Deal with the conservatives the conservatives have rejected that already they said we have this deal and thats the basis for our Work Together so really next weeks Party Conference of social democrats will show that they want to discuss how to continue whether they want to step out of the Ground Coalition but certainly the prospects of a snap election or a minority government for Anglo American have increased with this movement before they potentially get to that i mean theyve got quite a lot of work to do within their own camp as well the social democrats have been in crisis the quite some time now do you think these new leaders will be able to change the direction of the policy. Certainly they know what they stand for day one clear left wing profile i spoke to ask and she told me social democrats have to be 8 to be able to tell you at 3 oclock in the morning what the s. P. D. Stands for when you wake them up and thats for them esp a. Its like a higher minimum wage Better Climate protection and they want to be closer to the trade unions again so thats what they stand for but whether that will be enough to really rise the popularity of the social democrats in germany we have to see what indeed Political Correspondent fabiana fundament thanks a lot.

Because they may have very well have been involved in the plot to murder daphne. The sister that of definite carolina. Barbara vessel is covering the story for us in malta is the accused youre going to find it cooperating with prosecutors and is he likely to implicate anyone else. It is rather likely helen not because he is pleading guilty as you said and then if the prosecutors are talking to him what else can he do and what else can he say in his own defense other than fingering the other people that he says we are really involved in this murder were really behind the scenes and giving the order for the heat to against Dufner Khurana and this is a man who is one of the richest men of malta this is an old business family on the island he owns a casino he owns hotels he owns restaurants because he knows that that have been implied in Money Laundering so there is a lot of shady business that he has been accused of already in the past and he also part owns the public power station that is at the heart of this scandal so jurgen fan it really is sort of sits now middle of this web between government interest and business interests and she of course knows all the secrets of this government and she will very well as sort of look at the people and show up the people who are still involved in the sense very likely to be extremely close to the office of the Prime Minister you know barbara we have to say they were those reports that the maltese Prime Minister was getting ready to resign do you think he will step down or is he going to try and write this crisis out.

To arrive here at the delegation to arrive here on the island in order to be able to present something and say yes we did do some work no yes we did find the main suspect and we are on the right track to solving this because they had been a tremendous amount of pressure from the European Union on malta they say in brussels that this is hardly a country that is route ruled according to the rule of law any more institutions are failing the police and the judiciary arent independent and say they they want they will want to look deeper into this whole story not only the murder of but the general legal and political conditions on this island.
