Has been in the german city of hamburg is bringing young refugees and locals together and giving them a new outlook on life. So in a woman im on the thai. Cheema nearly one month after the germans went to the polls chancellor Angela Merkel is beginning the complex task of forming the next Coalition Government miccolis conservative c. D. U. C. S. U. Group is holding talks with two potential suitors the probusiness free democrats and the green party its known here as a Jamaica Coalition because the colors of the parties correspond to those off the jamaican flag americas first aim is to get the parties to agree to launch a formal Coalition Talks but that could prove tricky a prospective partners have major ideological differences over a number of key issues including the austerity migration and Energy Policies and i spoke to our Political Correspondent hans brander short while ago and i asked him how tough these talks would be for chancellor merkel given that the parties differ on various important issues and had never governed in coalition at the National Level before. Well yes it is going to be difficult the meetings are taking place behind me here in this Parliamentary Association its called Something Like the private club of the parliamentarians and germans parliament and im going to makkah is obviously in charge of these the negotiations in the sense that she is inviting all the other parties to come and discuss this with her the biggest problem is the wide spectrum of parties that are participating in these talks on the one hand the greens obviously on the left of the political spectrum on the other hand. Sister party from bavaria the Christian Social Union which is more to the right of the political spectrum and thats in fact where the problems are most likely to be at the moment because the sea is you of the varian party did very badly in their terms in the recent elections are very worried about how they might perform in elections coming up in the coming year so they are really very urgently trying to look for a political line that will save their performance their political performance and theyre pushing very hard to go towards the right in the political spectrum machall on the other hand its trying to stay center of the political spectrum also in order to allow the Coalition Partners the potential Coalition Partners to have some sort of Common Ground i dont see the methods authority being reconned off to this election result because cd you bought it i want the worst disaster in decades shes facing discontent from within the conservative bloc under how much pressure is she going into these talks. Well its not who can be certain that she will be chancellor of the new government whatever its going to be because her party was the Strongest Party in the recent general election but obviously it is weakened to some extent because the performance has been so weak and because there are other people in her party who are now saying that the party should revise its position should move towards the right so far malcolm has managed to keep her line keep her authority in the party to keep her policies at the center of the political spectrum but obviously theres discontent in her party and shes going to need. To try and keep that going on sprung thank you very much for that assessment turning out to china where president xi jinping says his country is facing a Bright Future but also severe challenges his comments came as he opened the communist Party Congress in beijing he also said china could of would become a strong power and leader on the one stage by two thousand and fifty the meeting brings together dead in two thousand three hundred delegates in the coming days everyone policies to guide the country over the next five years. Now reporter kristen shepherd is following the communist Party Congress and joins me now from beijing kristen most of the talks are going to be in kill was still sessions what do you think is going to be the focus off this posse congress. A lot of the talks are going to be in a closed door session but we do broadly know the direction that this congress will be taking because we have the opening speech where he laid out a very ambitious vision for china it requires china to over the next few decades become a very strong power militarily economically on the global stage but it also laid out a vision where the party would be at the very center of running tyner so this is a very ambitious idea to have a modern state that is globally active but is also in some sense is still a very traditional communist country that china is facing slowing Economic Growth what are viewed as the main economic challenges there and how does president xi plan to address them or ties theres a lot of different pressures economically he has a huge amount of local Government Debt you have a very cumbersome space sector which has failed to modernize you have overcapacity in any Industry Sectors like coal and steel and many analysts believe that to deal with these are significant problems the government needs to push forward with gender of reform they needs to bring in more Market Forces to try and shun some of these older more comes and sectors into life however the scene in speech hasnt given them much hope he largely reiterated previous promises on which have been going very slowly and said that the party who continue to play a guiding role in the economy. This is the son who said that shes in the being is now there was one spouse for the leader how was he viewed in china. So you believe actually very popular in china to be among people who think hes done a very good job of fighting corruption has had a hugely hope. In what has taken down about one point four million officials over the last five years this also gives him a huge amount of stature within the party he has been able to grow more power than his predecessor and recesses predecessor which made him one most powerful in china some people comparing him to even dont help being one of the.

The last rehearsal before Opening Night flying high is turning these teens into singers actors and friends. Ive made new friends. That was really great for me. I didnt really know anyone before. We were hers just once a week. And when im here i forget the whole world im just here with my friends. My hair is eighteen zina is seventeen two years ago maharaj in germany alone from syria xena is german and has lived in berlin for eight years for her the musical provides a creative balance to her preparations for High School Graduation exams. The teens have been rehearsing together for half a year they developed a musical from their own ideas the plot a peaceful people is attacked hostages are taken and adventures and soon. Director Todd Jonathan fletcher wrote the script based on the teens ideas and composed the songs hes been working with youth for thirty years. My aims are to show the kids that theyre capable of more than they ever imagined possible these people who have ended up in europe from whove come from somewhere else can contribute not just be here not just be integrated in the sense is the sense of the word integrated but contribute which is beyond integration and i think thats what people want to do. Even at break time the teams learn each others language and. I have tried if ive never had anything to do with refugees before and it was interesting to get to know another side of them. And see what kind of people they really are. And. Then a quick cost of check. The performers even so their own outfits. Have to fight off. Ive acted in a few things to groups before so this was like more training for me. Its just not in my case im doing all of this for the first time. Acting and singing are now my main hobbies and its. My risk playing the lead role in the musical he emerges as the hero of the story. I told my parents about it and they were pleased theyre proud of me. It starts. My hair and xena like the others are doing all this in their free time and often for the first time. For this particular project. The art is a means to an end. And so weve strangely achieved that goal. Of integration and bringing people together and we now have to still keep working on the means because of course a musical would be nice if the musical works out and im sure it will but its not really about that. For Todd Fletcher this project is much more about bringing teenagers together helping them discover new perspectives and sharing them with the wider world.
