Surviving suspect in the 2015 harris attacks with paris att acks. The Music Festival bringing harmony to a troubled region of mali. We will report what some call the real cradle of the blues. On the banks of the niger river. Brent tonight a test of patience here in germany. The countries may Political Parties have again extended talks informing a new coalition government. Four months after an inconclusive election, germany needs the parties to find a compromise on big issues such as labor and Health Policies if it is to finally have a new government. They have had their momentum. Plenty of ups and downs. Now they are talking it out toughing it out. Optimism is in short supply. Everyone is trying their best. Im not sure it will work though. We cannot say at this point if the war will succeed but the well is there. The hurdles are just big. Anchor Health Care Reform has been a sticking point. The social democrats want to end germanys twotier system. The spd was to replace it with permanent positions that provide greater job security. Instead of the display of courage to display tasks in the future, we are seeing a grand coalition that is concerning health with minor issues. The Critical Issues are not getting the attention they deserve. Talks are set to talks are set to continue on tuesday. Brent we want to go now to our chief Political Correspondent melissa crane. Melinda crane. We are not burning the midnight oil this time. The deadline has been postponed again. Can we expect an agreement this time tomorrow . Melinda we have just heard from a spd spokesperson who says tomorrow is absolutely the last phase. It is the moment when we will know if the negotiators have succeeded. Some are burning the midnight oil. Earlier we had said that todd said adjourned but that is not quite true talks talks had adjourned but that is not quite true. They are apparently trying to break through in the process those described as being very controversial and intensive. The spokesperson said there has been some progress but they are not where they want to get yet. He was asked, is it possible they will not Reach Agreement tomorrow . He says the will is there but there is delay. Brent what is the big holdup . Melinda at the moment they are talking about health care. Germany has a twotier system. There are private insurers who can be more selective about who they taken and there are public insurers that are essentially required to take anybody who applies. The public pay lower fees to doctors. The private insured sometimes have to wait longer. Social democrats say that is a two class system and they do not want it to continue and they are pushing hard on this point. They need visible wins. The party base based will be voting. They will need to keep pushing on this and apparently they are doing so. Brent they are pushing on this in spy of what the poll show. The majority of people here in germany are less than enthused. Why is that . Melinda i think the reason is that for many people, it looks like business as usual. There is a broad sense that the party lacks the drive and vision to address germanys critical problems. This is an agent problem aging population in this country. Also, a Freight Train coming at this menu manufacturing exporting giant. Both of those could kill the kind of manufacturing jobs that this economy is still based on. Big issues there. A sense on many peoples part that are haps these politicians perhaps these politicians that have been in office for so long do not necessarily have the drive. Again, we do not know all of the details. That is a very crucial area where germany needs to be in the driver seat with france. I think there has been some substantial movement there. Let us see what they unveil. Brent tomorrow will be the big day for sure. Melinda from early. Berlin, thank you. North korea uses its Berlin Agency to funnel restricted Nuclear Weapons technology. That another climbs will be made tonight on german television. The reporter who broke that story. Reporter north koreas push to develop Nuclear Weapons has made developments in the last two years.

In one of his reports that there were giving to the security council, and one of the footnotes, was mentioned the German Embassy as a place where such activities were going on.

Why can he not get offer that guarantee . Klaus how can he . They cannot guarantee that you will find anything. Sometimes, they have to prove it before they go to court. I need advice, they need hence hints from traders. A middleman that points out door use technology dual use tech. Brent we also want to let our viewers know that your report does not only pertain to germany. This is not just a german story. Other countries have also proved an able unable to stop pyongyang from procuring weapons. Klaus the official from the United Nations told us about the missile parts that north koreans fished out of the ocean.
