cooperation think it ll ever happen i ve been deeply convinced that this is the right way to go. martin shields thanks very much for being with some thank you thank you close the book. the be. the big. lead the but. the but. the but. the but the.
a lot of international figures he ll be a welcome german foreign minister of course if he brings money bearing gifts as it seems likely on the. program as it s been set out so far so i think it s it s good for martin shields but certainly he s moving out of the limelight in the broad in the broad sense aren t just very briefly all of schultz. kind of a dark horse in terms for international viewers we don t really know him who is a very brief he s an interesting figure seven uses the mayor of hamburg criticized a lot there for his handling of the policing around the g. twenty summit you ll remember. but he s been somebody who s been on the fringes of government before for instance serving as a labor minister in a previous angela merkel government in fact and some are saying he could be tipped to be a future social democrat jones to the so most of the do a little bit like angela merkel herself actually an ideal choice for finance minister aren t political correspondent andrea thank you.
a full a full wallet because this government has said it s ready to inject cash and support the european process it particularly means the struggling nations of the e.u. so you know be a good role for him what it really does it takes him out of national politics it means that he no longer carries this burden of trying to renew his policy making votes a bill again in future people didn t believe that he could do that don t forget martin shields was only eleven months ago that he actually became the party leader ironically enough of course his predecessor became foreign minister well now he s getting that job so it s a real revolving door at the s.p.d. he s very weakened but you probably be relieved to have got that foreign ministry job our let s talk about all of schultz also from the social democrats he s for international viewers he s a bit of a dark or so we don t really know him that. well you do evidently tell us

they re looking for so tonight s meeting here at c.d.u. ed courses with martin shields of the s.p.d. and the two conservative leaders is basically just to say that the agenda set the timetable for talks that we expect will begin later this week and you know we ve heard that the s.p.d. party leader martin shoulders he says that he wants to revisit all of the key issues in these formal talks which are about to begin i mean how much pressure does this put on these negotiations. well you know there is a lot of pressure because we ve seen such a division within the s.p.d. so many people very unhappy about the fact that being in grand coalition is essentially seen them lose support over the years in successive terms but it s also they feel buried the social democrat agenda and so that s really the danger for them and that of course in a certain way strengthens martin shields his hand because he can say to angela
