To zimbabwes capital harare that is where we join correspondents very privileged welcome a whole range of forces seems to be lined up against the president will he jump or will i have to push him. I think for now depression is mounting if you look at this strong statement that is being released by the. Veterans this afternoon where they say. This is the end of it say that he leaves not or they would take the medicine into the out when his tomorrow is the month it mobilized that much is to come to have. For dinner added that the. Assuming that he does go what happens next that is it that has been a question that we have been causing a lot of people also asking we ask this today. It was recently there yesterday Morgan Tsvangirai it was all of interest today everyone is that just seems janish now transitional thirty that it has to be inclusive of all political parties. So that it towards the. Holding of free and Fair Election and also requires traction of the countrys economy so president garbage spread in power for nearly forty years now so why is this happening now. Theres been a lot of growing day sent. If you look at the state of the economy right now the economy is not in it would shape. Its not you know you see elderly people sleeping on bank queues to absolute. Cash and also this is a lot of high. End lives only use power business is also shifted. President mugabe used bbs used to be with the war veterans but it down to there was vision since two thousand and fourteen in the second the youth in the youth league is. That now power has shifted and what the fist lady has been doing to trimble and make enemies with a lot of people is also fueled a lot of months about privilege or bust right here in harare thank you. Don hes five people have been killed in the kenyan capital during confrontations between police and supporters of Opposition Leader rather crowds turned out to welcome him back from a trip abroad officers used tear gas water cannon and even live rounds to prevent his convoy from making headway the Opposition Leader had been visiting the u. S. And britain to discuss kenyas political turmoil. It was a highly anticipated day for kenyas opposition supporters. Thousands lined the streets of the capital nairobi to well come right now dingell. The veteran Opposition Leader was meeting his followers for the First Time Since the disputed president ial election in october and despite Police Warnings against any gatherings the supporters were determined to make a celebration of his return. Which. The law says that people cannot go to the airport to welcome their leader were waiting for dinner to come with good things right now we are waiting for what he has to say. The celebrations were short lived. The police launched an offensive against the opposition barring them from the city. Property was damaged people injured. And some killed. But the opposition was undeterred. Ive come to tell you that the time for the third republic has begun. The signs we are seeing are those of a government that has already fallen. Putting god has called for a National Resistance movement to protest the outcome of a repeat president ial election last month which saw incumbent president who kenyatta win a second five year term. They dubbed the correspondent catherine wander is and kenya she told me more about the days events. Well today we had a lot of protesters or not to support this who came together to try and welcome. In main Opposition Leader raul oh didnt go didnt go as he was a rising in the country early in the morning so in the morning we saw the main airports which is the job looking at International Airport cordoned off by police and people were stopped from entering it with those those high security and then we saw that escalate into the violence between a running battle between police and protesters and while there are some reports that two people have been shot and. Also other reports that five people have been killed now these five people according to police were lynched by the protesters and that seems to be yet the nation the p. C. Using the police also saying that in this particular incident they didnt use. Live with it in this procession although we did see some through testing the left seat cartridges along the way where the protests were taking place so this is basically a situation its a bit tense right now that the violence and died down but it is a bit tense because kenyans are basically waiting to see what happens because in this middle east we did have a situation where. Convoy was attacked we have their eyes speculations that he has the car he was in was shot at west still were still trying to confirm whether it was a tear gas canister or a life bullet still i what justification conmen be in a democracy for police to fire bullets or indeed to take us canisters ops the car of the leader of the opposition. Well the government maintains that this particular gathering by members of the opposition was illegal they kept from beginning of the week they were saying that no one should be making their way to the main airport had no one you know should be having those supposed to be a rally in the citys main park so that the people think that was acting within the law and that opposition. Right to go and meet up with that shouldnt have been the first. However opposition supporters say if their right to protest given the Current Situation as you know the Supreme Court just concluded hearing the position against incumbent president the election for the second time this year so you know they were saying that those meeting who supported them not the one thing they were meeting who they think is the legitimate president after and wanda in kenya thank you now to some of the other stories making news around the world the u. S. Backed forces in iraq site they have retaken the last town in the country held by Islamic State militants iraqi troops forced i asked from mitt romney after five hours of fighting leaving jihad is said control of little more than patches of the countrys Western Desert a laborde with syria. The former head of the Sicilian Mafia toto do you know has died at the age of eighty seven was being held in an italian prison hospital where he was serving twenty six life sentences during the nineteen seventies and eighties andrina became one of the most feared godfathers of the cosa nostra crime family is thought to have moved to order more than one hundred fifty modest germany search for a new government has gone into extra time chance im going to medical originally said she wanted an agreement by yesterday but marathon overnight talks failed to produce a breakthrough oaken service of lucky seeking a Coalition Deal with the probusiness free democrats on the greens now theyre back at the negotiating table hoping to avoid a fresh election. Another round of difficult talks of the c. D. U. Party headquarters the negotiators are coming off a long night with no concrete results much is at stake for you to reach an agreement could mean new elections but chancellor merkel says shes determined not to let that happen villain despite all the difficulties in these negotiations i am determined to form a government as mandated by germanys vote as they definitely wont be easy itll definitely be hard but its worth going into a second round of talks on that by in a while so that this is on zoolander on the road that we all realize we have to make compromises everyone. So far that hasnt happened enough. This is especially applies to those who declare to the outside world that theyre making all sorts of concessions but from what i say mimi sit down together not get some of his remarks clearly aimed at Germanys Green Party is a hoffa c. S. U. In the greens are at loggerheads on many key issues including migration and energy policy. But what we cant allow is that someone says i want discussed that you know everyone has to negotiate otherwise the talks dont make any sense. The fourth player in the negotiations germanys liberal f. D. P. Are also set on a positive outcome hes a consulates a new coalition at a federal level in germany could mean a new beginning in terms of policy. And we hope very much as free democrats that the other parties are bold enough to try it and. The four parties had hoped to have already finished with negotiations but with one selfimposed deadline now missed many expect there to be more long nights ahead. Lets get more there from day w. s Political Correspondent shall apart so joins us from the chance to say to you Party Headquarters in welcome charlotte any sign of progress. Well its been very little progress throughout the day i mean we mustnt forget that the negotiators were on it for fifteen hours in a marathon negotiation yesterday so the politicians came here this morning to the headquarters tired some very tense after a long long long night without any progress and an extension of those talks over the weekend that was not planned before they has been talk this afternoon on Foreign Policy apparently there was some Movement Towards each other not so much on the issue of arms exports where really the parties differ a lot i mean were talking about very odd bedfellows here or one hundred likely bedfellows from the green party on the left. To the probusiness f. T. P. To the conservatives and the very end of merkels conservatives who is even more to wards of the right of the political spectrum so its been very tough negotiations for the past four weeks and you can feel really the frustration of the politicians that this has to go on over the weekend so theyre not going through the night but they do resume tomorrow whats on the table. Tomorrow at the so there are the most contentious issues at the moment are migration Climate Policies Energy Policies and the issue of finances and they basically did not talk about any of those three today they are going to talk about migration and climate tomorrow and that will be a matter of debate the most contentious thing there is a family reunifications for. So we have lost to Charlotte Potts see if we can go back to her little later but thats charlotte was just saying immigration is one of the key sticking points specifically. The richest. Specifically. That shouldnt happen when its all going wrong. Yes specifically whether the families of migrants already in germany a should be allowed to join them the greens insist i should be allowed well so when i get americas conservative block against it saying that it would involve too many people behind every statistic there is a human story take a look now at the case of one sixteen year old syrian girl longed to be reunited with her family soma and samir and some of their children have been in greece for nearly two years since fleeing from syria when. I came here because i hoped i could go to germany right away but they closed the borders we thought this would be for a couple of months but its been a year and eight months. So my sixteen year old daughter tasneem did manage to get to germany with her cousin she was given asylum and now lives in a flat near the central city of marked a book. And it has been here. That understand that im sad but thats no more im sad that im either here and my daughter is over there. Has. Got a bad feeling that my parents will never get here. I feel so lonely does name applied for her family to be allowed to come to germany and permission has been granted but progress is slow. But. I would feel better if my family were here. Often i cant go to school because i have to see the doctor. The doctor gave me tranquilized this. Its a complicated process does name could be joined by four other family members its thought hundreds of thousands of migrants may be eligible to come to germany under family reunification rules not surprisingly its a controversial issue in germanys Coalition Talks those negotiations will decide the future for many of the refugees currently in athens but dreaming of starting a new life in germany. This is d. W. News live from berlin still to come they are the generation who will be most affected by Climate Change climate talks talk to a close involved children say they want more action on Global Warming. Yes democratic side to al franken is under fire after a journalist says he groped her present a truck criticizes a front going on twitter and is accused of focusing dont use a social media to be here with the details. I guess not with news of a vehicle that could drive business on the fight against Climate Change thats right phil were talking about teslas products you know tesla is known for challenging the industry and now its time for the next generation of electric vehicles after cars and busses the streets are ready for electric trucks at least thats what tesla c. E. O. Elon musk is proposing last night he unveiled what is supposed to be a revolutionary drange of products including a groundbreaking big semi truck and of course a new sports car. It was a big show for a big truck. Tesla vasil on musk joked that this would be the most useful eighteen wheeler ever tweeting it could transform into a robot fight and the ins and even brew coffee and he said its built for the long haul. Now one of the biggest questions weve been asked about. Electric trucks is well how far can they go because well its perhaps a five hundred mile range. Thats about eight hundred kilometers the driver sits in the middle no need for different models with steering wheels on the right or left musk promised his electrode truck would be cheaper to maintain than todays diesels its set to hit the road in just two years but musk was coy about the price which logistics firms had been hoping to find out. Teslas car business has so far served a small niche small than expensive luxury cars thats where most had another surprise up his sleeve the Second Generation of the tesla roadster the car the company was founded on the new cars the roadster. We have fastest car production car ever made period. Even though the crowd here reacted so euphorically many experts in the field are skeptical tesla has a myriad of pressing problems above all the model three intended to take over the mass market instead of the fifteen hundred vehicles it expected to build tesla was only able to make two hundred sixty last quarter experts say some of them were badly assembled tesla has been in the red for years last quarter it lost millions of euros and just recently hundreds of workers were let go now more than ever the question remains can test a change its goals or just a series of funny tweets and product presentations i dont see that its an important question and we want to help us answer it thats why we have john here editor at green car reports dot com john thank you very much for joining us tonight the consumers are still skeptical at least here in germany when it comes to electric cars i have a hard time imagining an electric truck myself what do you make of this launch well like for trucks already quickly getting established and say up to one hundred fifty kilometers this last serves two purposes it has clothes and editi
