Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us here in germany the press. Didnt is due to meet the head of the social Democratic Party to try to break the deadlock over forming a new Coalition Government thats after the collapse of talks last weekend between chancellor Angela Merkels conservatives and two other parties now the leader of the social democrats martin chals has so far ruled out any possibility of joining a new coalition under chancellor merkel but some in his party of race questions about that stance a president from foster steinmeyer is now expected to urge him to reconsider no idea if he is Political Correspondent hans brandt has been following all of this for us he is outside the president ial palace where the two men are meeting hi hans good to see you there were some suggestions today hans that the s. P. D. Is marching schultz might be considering or threatening to resign now what more can you tell us about that. Well obviously theres a lot of pressure both on the social democratic leadership and on the shows in particular because there have been saying for weeks in fact since the night of the election in the end of september theyre saying that theyre not interested in entering another grand coalition with the conservatives of anger then are now the situation has developed that if germany is to have some form of government this is one of the only possibilities are just open to germany and as a result the pressure on the social Democratic Party on schultz himself has increased rapidly and in this at this moment it is the german president whos also putting pressure on his Party Colleague martin chose to reconsider that decision it is not clear whether the stretch to resign is really a threat or the choices may have been a lot of rumors going around of around poland today and certainly this is not being confirmed but after this meeting here with the president the s. P. D. The social democratic leadership is meeting shows has called his leadership to come together in the Party Headquarters here in berlin and certainly there will be very serious discussions going on. About how to respond to all of this pressure what to do about the idea of entering after all into another coalition with the conservatives hans with all of that pressure what can we expect from this meeting between steinmeyer and schultz. Wrote steinmeier the president himself is a social democrat he was germanys foreign minister for many years in this just all its going grand coalition with im going to Nationals Party so he knows exactly what hes talking about what hes expecting of his own party by saying that it should once again consider such a grand coalition in the past the social democrats have managed to put their issues in. Grand coalitions theyve managed to have their ideas implemented but im going to america has taken credit for that and the social democrats have in fact been punished by their voters in the last election they had the worst election result for decades so the question is whether the partys interests are to be put forward put her head here or whether the interests of germany as a country are more important if the surgery verma could should decide once again to enter into discussions at least. There is a danger that they would lose further support from their voters. Reporting from outside the a president ial palace for us there on thank you very much. Lets get more on what all of this means for germany and its future lets talk to a political analyst van apostle from the university of dresden to put all of this into perspective mr puzzles thank you for joining us now the option of a minority government is still on the table something thats been discussed a lot is it really as bad an option as people here have been say. I do not think said a moan or a government would be as bad as many people pretend to believe and to fear so the simple cause is that we never had a minority government on German National level but we had minority governments on state levels and to all of them have quite properly probably and in other european nations we have minority governments so the only reason to shy back from a minority government in germany is present situation is that germans used to shy back from things said to do not yet know but maybe we should end of his experiment well the chancellor herself a said she would not be in favor of a minority government and that would mean new elections if that does come to pass who stands to win and who stands to lose. Well first of all there is no optima to swim towards new elections because neither the Political Parties know chancellor merkel can initiate elections elections can be only done if a minority chancellor has been elected by the fullness talk and if the federal president decides who decides the business talk instead of nominating the minority chancellor chancellor with will already so all these talking about elections is without a substance in reality things have not yet developed as far as the question of elections will be a serious one and in addition to having elections only because the result of the preceding elections a couple of weeks ago. Are such that the politicians do not feel comfortable with him well thats not a long after more credit reasoning i fully understand the chancellor merkel dislikes a minority government because governing would be much more difficult in such a situation then it has been during the last grand coalition but its not for the personal comfort of the chancellor that we want to have a government but for the best of the country and if there is no majority in the parliament where there is no majority and the minority government has to collect majorities for whatever bill to be passed you mentioned minority government is not favored by the chancellor because it would be a more difficult governing process for her where do you think all of this chaos leaves her and her standing. Well Johnson Merkel has started to become a lame duck she lost the election for her party. Somehow successful in hiding for a fact that she was the loser of this election and she lost her bargaining overture microcode. Now its obvious there she is not that strong leadership figure there she pretended it was supposed to be she may have been a strong Leadership League on the european level but her strength in german politics came only from the fact that there is such a huge majority in the bundestag which has now been faded away due to her policy mistakes in particular due to her wrong decisions on immigration all right so difficult road ahead youre saying for chance america analysts are puzzled from the university of dress and thank you for joining us.

Doesnt bob noyce former Vice President emerson is set to be sworn in on friday as Robert Mugabes successor and doug was addressed his supporters outside the headquarters of the ruling zanu p. F. Party after arriving back in the country on wednesday the leader would fled to south africa earlier this month after being fired by mugabe pledged his service to the people and urged the barbarians to come together. Or is. That. Going forward. We wanted prison or a country no one to join. Lets bring in christine shes joins us from harare with more on this story christine we heard there speaking of how much how big is the challenge that he is facing. Or it looks like were having some trouble with that connection to harare and our correspondent Christine Milne well well try to get her back on the line a little bit later in the show well zimbabwes new president also have to jumpstart the country struggling economy and helena is here with more on that now absolutely receiving poverty at around seventy percent of the population so theres certainly a lot to be done and with the end of Robert Mugabes presidency comes the hopes for better livelihoods for many zimbabweans the i. M. F. Said is involved way has cleared its credit arrears with the institution but any financing in the future requires more reforms in the country with mugabe gone can the new leadership bring a turnaround. Zimbabwe has lingered eons for Economic Growth planned for resources solid Public Infrastructure and plenty of Human Capital but under mugabe the countrys economy took a detour from its stubborn african neighbors it began in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven when the government began seizing land from white farmers the jolt for a country that leaned on its agricultural exports the result was an economy that nearly folded in half over the next decade it was the strongest contraction of its kind during peacetime according to the World Bank Inflation hit five hundred billion percent poverty rates surged throwing a fit the country into extreme need things began to improve in two thousand and nine after zimbabwe abandoned its local currency from outside currency regime they call me has struggled again lately and Inflation Fears are back investors have plowed their money into stocks in recent months as the mugabe government began printing a quasi money called bond the man on god blog Government Faces difficult questions once the cheering subsides can it bring back a local currency can it solve a liquidity crunch i suspect that everyone knows that fixing the economy is a very very edge and giving confidence to jobs giving to the investors what can with the rest of the world so that what it will get and get from anywhere in order to get our country going once again economists say the structure for zimbabwes success is there now the question is whether the leadership will be and christine one joins us from harare now christine how big of a challenge is now facing. A very big challenge. More than eighty percent of zimbabweans are unemployed this economy is effectively at a standstill things like cash shortages the Publics Health sick to for example is in disarray. Businesses closing down on a regular because of the challenges that they face and face recent the i. M. F. Warned that there is a crisis in this country if things dont change very soon and so this is the challenge that is facing Unemployed People essentially most of the people in this country without work and huge reforms have been called for christine but was president mugabes right hand man for many years as in bob waynes not concerned that his administration will simply perpetuate the status quo which surprisingly not a lot of zimbabweans very hopeful about the fact that in the in his and will turn things around yet they say that while Deputy President he was nominated as to what he could actually do and that perhaps the fact that he was deputy he couldnt find the president so to say but they quote for instance the fact that he had been negotiating for example with the Chinese Government on behalf of zimbabwe and they say that hes a businessman and that several programs that he has initiated and presided over have been successful in this country although not enough to get this economy going the way that it needs to but they say that theyve got a negotiated business met somebody who understands the language of the white men they go as far as saying who will be able to talk to waste and governments who will be able to secure the much needed investments that is needed in this country that also goes to policy changes. Also policies that will not invest a friendly that have to be worked on before isabel they could see the kind of investment that needs to be here to see this economy growing again and has it become any clearer what is going to happen to the former president Robert Mugabe and his wife grace. Well helena we now know that the former president and former first lady have been granted immunity they will not speak facing any persecution of any kind we also know that the military has filed suit to give them protection we also expect that they will live the rest of the days here in zimbabwe i said this the other day on the prison full of president Robert Mugabe spoke of zimbabwe with a certain sense of ownership but i couldnt imagine that he would want to develop the rest of his days anywhere else other than his so we know that they will be in the country many zimbabweans ok with that especially when it comes to Robert Mugabe but a very angry with the first lady for example and say maybe she should have been shielded from persecution they say that they can stay and theyll even look after them but some worried about the fact that the amount of wealth that they have. Accrued over the is maybe some of that should be given back to the country were talking about minds here in that were talking about huge commercial farms people say surely they dont need all of that and some of that should go back to the people of zimbabwe. Christine when reporting for us from harare great to talk to you. Well lets dig further into that Economic Perspective now with a journalist youre going to learn and hes been reporting from zimbabwe for a decade the i. M. F. Is warning that zimbabwe must act quickly to dig its economy out of what you know is and die an economic crisis. Is a myth among going to be able to do that. Well i think mr mann i got was the only person at the moment who could do it well specifically will have that lima agreements there is a good possibility that mr mullen god well can solve the problem of the lima agreement and since hes the only able person on the back of a person being backed by not only the Security Forces but also by the party and perhaps not even more or less by most of the people i think these hes the ideal and the only candidate to promise the people that he can solve that problem immediately and he has to and for those of us who are not familiar with the name agreement would you just briefly explain what that means place well the limited reason more or less is an agreement saying that zimbabwe has to reduce costs specifically reduce costs in the Public Sector now what needs to happen and do you think he can move quickly enough to push through these reforms that have being called on it at a time when he may also be facing a divided party i think hes got no other chance to push things through extremely quickly he has to prevent the National Budget by next week and of next week twenty third of november yes to present the budget to parliament and so he has to act exe trini quickly and where are the areas action. Well there is a virgin actions of men full he has to actually read install. The National Banks he has to make sure that the rule of law is back at least will be restored in a way he has to make sure that there is a kind of reengagement with other countries he has to make sure that people do trust him and that people believe that the bill be a free fair and credible election next year so theres lots to do its not only the Financial Sector well he has to also try to at least give the impression that this is now a new policy in zimbabwe were going to see im not the mills on the path policies of fear and intimidation lets just go back to the financials then but because it is involved way urgently needs the cash injection has been bought from borrowing a sense that they felt it in one thousand nine hundred ninety can we expect a return to International Markets now. And i think there is a chance for the its vital for zimbabwe to start or to get that financial injection then bob is beg im specd to the International Community now its a pariah state and no international rest of the really come into the country and invest lots of money in it and the only possibility for zimbabwe is to convince the economies of the world and the possible investors of the world that its an interesting place to invest to and that there will be returned investment soon yangon and langen thank you very much for your insights thank you. Well the controversy over australias immigration policies are now coming
