Im brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show while it has been a month now since germany voted in a new parliament and today. Lawmakers will be coming together in this chamber for their first session were still waiting for an american to form a new Government Coalition talks just started last week here in berlin on that but what can we expect today for the Parliament First of all were talking about the biggest parliament ever in germany the number of lawmakers rising now to seven hundred nine s. Because of the countrys electoral system and that makes it more than ten percent larger than the last parliament now the other big difference is the number of parliamentary groups last time there were just for this time around there are six s. Because the free democrats down here in yellow are backed they failed to make the last parliament and the far right if the the alternative for germany theyre there in the blue while they are in the bundestag for the very first time and they are the nations third Biggest Party well this is the first time in postwar german history that a far right party is a serious force in the bundestag earlier i spoke with Political CorrespondentThomas Sparrow and ask him if this will divide this parliamentary session. I think so brian it does seem that that will be the case will have a divided parliament and we will have many of the debates shifted to the right thats something that most analysts agree on its interesting to see how the f. T. Will present its proposals how it will perform in the German Parliament but it will also be interesting to see how the other parties react to those proposals they have a big dilemma because on the one hand they cant simply ignore what the a f t says after all that the third Biggest Party in parliament under twelve point six percent of the german electorate voted for the a. V. So other parties can just simply ignore them on the other hand they cant react to every single provocation because that could boost the profile of the a if he and precisely shift these debates to the right and thats something that most of the other parties want to avoid so when we look at what the next few years will be like it will be certainly interesting to see on the one hand how the a if he performs it on the other hand how the other parties also react to those proposals by the a. F. P. Ok this new type of debate is going to be taking place in a parliament thats ten percent bigger the last time around some of our kids the biggest of any western democracy is this going to be a Dysfunctional Parliament considering simply the size well thats one possible view or divided parliament a rather Dysfunctional Parliament on the other hand there are those who say that the Previous Parliament where we only had the four parliamentary groups the two big groups that formed the grand coalition and the two parties in opposition well the debates there were rather dull because the grand coalition had a clear majority so there are some people here who are actually. Saying well now we will have real debates in Parliament Real debates that will represent different views in society so you have the two sides of the call in there and we will just have to wait and see how things develop because there are a lot of new elements in this German Parliament ok and theres also an agenda out for today for for the first day what can we expect to see in parliament does it as it gets underway this will be the framework today if you will of the new parliament the new president of the parliament will be elected most probably will be involved on choice for the current finance minister they will also elect his Vice President s an interesting enough it will be to see today whether the conduct proposed by the f. T. Will be elected thats something that the other parties have criticised ok tom sparrow following for this for this forest lets remind our viewers we have this live today at noon Central European time the opening of the new session of the German Parliament thanks thomas now for some of the other stories making the news u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson has paid a visit to iraq where he met with Prime Minister hyder all of body the to discuss reconstruction projects after the removal of socalled Islamic State from major urban areas they also discussed the Kurdish Independence Movement in the countrys north earlier tillerson visited afghanistan to discuss discuss afghanistan and washington rathers new strategy for that country. In malaysia the two women accused of killing kim jong nam the half brother of north Korean Leader kim jong un have visited the crime scene authorities brought them to the airport as part of a reenactment of the fatal attack along with prosecutors lawyers in the trial judge the two women have pled not guilty. Hong kongs democracy protest leaders nathan law and joshua long have been released from prison on bail the two were jailed in august for their roles in the anti china protests of twenty fourteen known as the umbrella revolution made in law thing to supporters and said he and wong were due to appear back in court on november the seventh. The Chinese Communist party has officially boosted the status of president paying by adding his name to the countrys constitution. Came on the closing day of the partys twice a decade National Conference to move make she one of the most powerful chinese leader in its history placing him on par with mao and dang she is expected to use his new status to influence of Foreign Policy and push for further military expansion. Will he be a success in those efforts to talk about that were joined now by bernard barge Asian Affairs expert of the barrels month and thanks so much for being with us this morning lets start off with looking at she having the same title in the constitution as ma just how powerful is it right now well he didnt ping is definitely as powerful as he could wish to be in a system where his pretty says his ruling as first among equals him ping is not first among equals he is first ok no hes also signaled a new push to make china first to make china a super power do you think hes going to succeed does he have the backing to do that i think he has the backing at home but claiming superpower status and actually gaining superpower status the two very different things. Chinas neighbors are very very very suspicious of chinas intentions of course china is trying to push back u. S. Influence in its neighborhood. I would guess that its going to have some success is there in the next coming and in the next couple of years but its far from gaining a global superpower status ok she has been working very closely with america spratly South China Sea conflict has been toned down there is cooperation on north korea will china be cooperating with america moving forward or will it be more of a contender i think china is a contender but china doesnt want any big conflict right now china one stability because he didnt things main battles other battles that he fights at home its the economy its consolidating his power at home so he doesnt want any external conflicts and i think thats what hes doing in the north korea. Affair he wants to to contain this crisis and thats how far he is going to work with the u. S. Ok now at home hes been fighting corruption thats been his banner cause has been hes been effective there as the rain then chinas endemic corruption well hes definitely been very successful at using this Anticorruption Campaign as a means to consolidate his own power and push out all his his rivals what the Anticorruption Campaign has not done is to promote the rule of law and build a more transparent system that actually weve seen a lot of. Return to to previous much more authoritarian areas ok so you have concerns about transparency in china right now definitely ok bernard barge Asian Affairs expert is barrels of invalidation thanks very much for that thank you. To somalia now and it was the deadliest bombing in somalias history the blast in mogadishu left over three hundred fifty people dead hundreds more wounded this drone footage shows the scale of the destruction the attack was also a watershed moment for a generation of somalis whove grown up with civil war they say this was a call for somalis everywhere to work for peace. Help your brothers thats the message printed on these red headbands. The red symbolizes blood we demand an end to somalian bloodshed it hurts us so much. These young somalis now live in the kenyan capital nairobi but they still feel close ties to their homeland their parents left to escape the civil war thats been raging for almost three decades. The young people here are collecting money for the victims of the massive truck attack over the years theyve grown far too familiar with tactics. But their actions make people flee theyre destroying their own country and theyre making it ungovernable thats our problem. Remember. The attack in mogadishu on october fourteenth was the deadliest yet in somalia alshabaab is widely believed to be behind it the terrorist group has been active for ten years most of their attacks are directed at Security Forces or the government so far has not claimed this attack. And this is a must see been president a number of people have died i think it would be foolish to comment on claimed responsibility for these a tug knowing whether that almost one hundred percent of the casualties was civilian. And again theres a huge huge. On the somali street the groups name translates to the youth but now somalia is real youth are channeling their anger into public protests in defiance of government orders. These young somalis are volunteering to coordinate care for people wounded by the bombing they also counsel victims relatives and continue the search for those still missing. Were not all terrorists were not the ones who kill people were not indoctrinated some take hope from the fact that so many are helping and protesting. I hope this tragedy will finally unites us. But somalia is far from united and peace seems a distant dream its a failed state where clans and warlords hold much of the power African Union troops are supposed to guarantee security but thats hardly the case recently elected president Mohammed Abdul are you mohamed is largely powerless its still unclear if he can bring peace to a country thats riven by corruption and tribal conflicts this is did every news still to come on the show a saint portrayed as a center will tell you why this love story about russias last czar has sparked a violent backlash. And all those named footballer of the year at the depot wards will tell you who netted the other prizes. Also an issue thats been around for a while now and European Union labor ministers of come out theyve agreed to under new rule regimen to prevent socalled wage dumping across the e. U. Yes yes thats an unwelcome unwanted side effect to brine off the socalled posted workers directive which allows Member States to send workers to other e. U. Countries for a limited period of time not under this new compromise which was threshed out to during twelve hours of negotiations the e. U. Plans to impose a twelve month limit on the posting of e. U. Foreign workers and introduce the principle off equal pay for equal work. European lawmakers have long argued over labor rules in the block. Especially when it comes to jobs like those in construction on the Assembly Line and in health care. The current rules are contentious because they permit workers from poor e. U. Countries to work in wealthier ones for far more than they would earn at home but far less than their counterparts who are citizens of the wealthier countries. A new proposal agreed on last night by the labor ministers from the twenty eight European Union members would put an end to that. I believe we have found a balance compromise that stakes into account the interests of the workers and the employers of the posting and host countries of different sectors and professions Soon Companies sending their employees to work in wealthier countries could be required to pay the normal social contributions required by the host country they would also limit the duration of such postings to twelve months but not everyone is happy about the deal poor Member States reject the proposal even so Council Members are confident the deal will level the playing field. And this offers a unique opportunity to prove that the European Union its twenty eight Member States the fence together Common Social values it is a clear sign that we deliver on a fairer and more social europe with equal opportunities. Where equal opportunities are possible for everybody and all of life in the deal must now be ratified by Member States. And for more on that deal with joined now by a band to get our correspondent in brussels band is this deal or compromise go in to make everyone happy. The short answer is no the workers themselves not and call them much effects because the average posting is only six or seven months so that twelve months cap would not apply for them and also the member countries who send these workers basically poland and hungary where voted down on the monday night so they are theres also a split between east and west now the only one happy should be mr cohn the french president his fight against social dumping so socalled social dumping was one of his Election Campaign promises and he made good on that but we have to see if it comes out this because its not over yet so i said over yet so if there is still friction what are the next steps going to be whether the vote does that it was only a step in the long process that is now in negotiations to be followed by the parliament and the ministers again and then we have a legislative process which would take months or even a year and only after that this new legislations lives they should be passed and then we can talk about a new directive but the effect is still to be seen i began to get there from brussels thank you so much for this. Now here in germany a court in frankfurt has rejected a deal to drop charges against the head over doj of belzec the Company Running germanys biggest Stock Exchange in france that cost ten kanga is facing charges of Insider Trading after he bought millions of euros of georgia but the shares before merger plans with the london Stock Exchange were publicly announced the settlement would have seen both king into the company pay a combined eleven million euro fine but it now seems that the trial will go ahead. Lets go straight to frankfurt and the frankfurt Stock Exchange where daniel cope is standing by for us daniel whats this decision mean for casting torchbearers it yeah hi monica from chile frankly where the atmosphere inside of the Stock Exchange is even colder because i can tell you that this settlement cases that is a very unusual case in of ten cases when a settlement is actually in the discussion a chord usually agrees on this in this case the court is saying that the case has such a high importance so they really want to see this trial to happen of course at the end with an open result we could see in this case or of course the next fertile as well what does this mean for can get or what is contra is actually due in march two thousand and eighteen and with an open trial still going on its not very likely that were going to see a new contract for him all right daniel and just briefly i mean the financial world bids farewell to a giant german finance minister today while country of leaves office to become the new president of the German Parliament or people where you are sad or glad to see him leave well mr grampy thats how many of the investors here actually called him a very high respect of course among investors his biggest victory was of course during the financial crisis when he was the voice basically of europe but on the other hand he didnt get everything through but i think in general investors will be sad that h
