The german president moved to forge a new Coalition Government he calls chancellor merkel and the leader of the social democrats to join talks next week. And it breaks it looms again over Brussels European Union leaders arrive for a summit with leaders of Eastern European nonmember nations but britains departure from the e. U. Is likely to dominate the agenda. Im sumi so much going to thank you for joining us it is a landmark day for zimbabwe emerson and god has been sworn in as president tens of thousands of people and v. I. P. s from across africa gathered at a stadium in the capital harare to witness a ceremony and cheer on the new president he vowed to uphold the constitution and protect the rights of all zimbabweans places former president Robert Mugabe who helped power for nearly four decades. And president delivered his inaugural address a short while ago heres part of what he said whatever it was. Or. Not moment of. Jordan that didnt go in for those who lunch before nation let us all except i dont acknowledge these memes from two. Dollars. Christine has been following all of this for us from harare and she joins us now for more hi christine good to see you so essentially what imus and god what was saying there is let bygones be bygones what do you make of that and what do you think it means for how he will treat Robert Mugabes legacy going forward. Sydney Emma Sonangol also went on to say that mugabe Robert Mugabe he is still his his father his eightys my mantle and my comrade in arms we did expect that by and large him and none of what has been very careful when referencing Robert Mugabe hes made it very clear that hes going to pursue a policy of frequency ation take not sunni that the that the grudge and the fallout that resulted in the relationship it resulting into what it became when he was forced out of this country fearing for his life really much of that was attributed to the former first lady grace mugabe many people see mugabe as having been a victim of his wifes green age and hunger for power and so we can expect that Robert Mugabe is going to live a fairly good life the rest of his days here in zimbabwe hes been guaranteed military protection hes been granted immunity hes not going to be prosecuted and hes going to have a very comfortable lycia hes legacy is going to be preserved and i suspect in a cinema not god why is that a good Great Lengths to make sure that that stays the way it is chris and youve been talking to a lot of people over the past week who are looking forward very much today celebration anticipating the speech from the new president do you think he struck the right tone. He did i mean he said he said the right things you know is involved in of course the land reform issue was very controversial in this country but by and large people feel that it is something that needed to be done at some point they might not agree about how it was done so we need to say it that its not going to be reversed of course that that struck a chord with people he talked about for instance that hes going to be a president of all people he talked about how humble he was to serve the people so certainly hes using the right the language sumi talked about the fact that he is going to do yes but to get the economy growing he talked about the fact that hes quite a hit the ground running so to say so he does communicate the understanding of the urgency that this economy needs so judging him by what he said and not as involved. Based on what he said say yes this is this these all the right things that he needs to be saying how if i might add that there is still a healthy sense of skepticism innocent man what is yet to prove himself to the people of zimbabwe he has to show that he is a different man hes awesome nation for forgiveness but it see if he has changed and thats what remains to be seen i also have spoken to a few people who said were going to go to the stadium today and listen to this speech because were not quite convinced that any real change has actually come there waiting to see it not just in woods but in actions me so christine a healthy dose of skepticism what are the Top Priorities for zimbabweans going forward. Its the economy sumi conservative estimates will say eighty percent of zimbabweans on a poll some goes further as saying ninety percent ive been speaking to two young people in this country who hold University Qualifications who are sending tomatoes on the side of the road and those tomatoes dont even belong to them by the way its a difficult country to live in people have been struggling its virtually just a whole big Informal Sector subsistence farm is People Living hand to mouth industries closing down businesses closing down theres no cash in this economy so the media challenge is to is to revitalize above his economy to open up this country to investment that had been hampered by the policies of Robert Mugabes time in office what he needs to do is signal to the International Community that zimbabwe is open for business and he needs to show that hes going to clamp down on corruption these are some of the things that International Investors would shy away from zimbabwe for him to say this is a corrupt government talking about politicians owning much of this country and benefiting from the gambles state taking place under the table so hes got an address the economic challenges that this country is facing immediately sumi.

Here in berlin the german president has made a new move to resolve the Coalition Crisis president. Has invited chancellor Angela Merkel and martin chills of the social democrats to talks next week on forming a Coalition Government there is a big gap to close merkel has said she is not afraid of new elections while shuls has so far refused to consider a coalition. The pressure mounts on the social democrats after an eight hour marathon at the Party Headquarters the s. P. D. Agreed on at least talking to Angela Merkel c. D. U. Laura six and hes premier stefan vial of warrants to not expect too much enthusiasm for another grand coalition its pretty clear the s. P. D. Will not refuse to talk but will do this without any fixed expectations and the talks will not be easy thats already clear. When youre trying to measure the s. P. D. Is facing a crucial test at a meeting with s. P. D. Leader Martin Schulz german president. Reportedly pressed the social democrat to reconsider forming another grand coalition with the conservatives but with scholz Us Party LeaderCoalition Talks seem difficult he had rejected the idea of taking on the responsibility of government twice while the rumors had it that schultz might step down as party chief members of the conservative c. D. U. Show optimism that it is news president and the president s appeal that every party has to make sure that there can be a stable government in germany some impact we have to Start Talking with the s. P. D. As soon as they are ready and form a new government soon. And i think. Its a tough choice for s. P. D. Leader Martin Schulz cooperate with and break his promise or put the political stability of germany at risk. Political correspondent hans brandis following this for us hi hans so now we know next week theres going to be a meeting with angle markel the leader of the s. P. D. Martin scholz and the president from steinmeyer does that mean we could be looking at the new Coalition Government here between these parties. Thats certainly what will be on the table in those talks about as weve just heard the social democrats have been very cagey about how far they are prepared to go at this moment theyre saying theyre prepared to talk and in this kind of setting at the invitation of the president obviously theres no political commitment involved in this as yet there is not really a Coalition Negotiation going on these are very very first round exploratory talks and the social democrats are having a Party Congress in two weeks time they have said that if anything is going to move towards Coalition Talks it will have to wait for a decision from this Party Congress so theyre playing in a sense for time and certainly it will take quite some time before we have a clear indication of where the where this is all going what about the future of the s. P. D. Leader Martin Schulz we heard in that piece there are rumors that he has threatened to step down these rumors have been denied vehemently by leaders of the social democrats and after this marathon meeting that the Party Leadership had last night well into the night again this morning several Party Leaders have said that they stand behind martin short in fact that they think that when he. When he puts forward his candidature as party leader at this coming Party Congress in two weeks time that he will be reelected they think so its not clear that in fact his position is threatened i think one can say amongst the rank and file of his party he is very well respected and is not really his his leadership is not questioned so its really a very difficult position its not clear to see either where martin short is going nor in fact where his party is going at the moment so with the possibility of the s. P. D. A coalition with the social democrats possibly on the table where does this leave chancellor merkel. Chancellor merkel is in fact in a sense in quite a comfortable position because she is chancellor in an acting capacity at the moment or she will remain in that capacity as long as it takes to form a new government and if a new government is formed the likelihood is that she will remain chancellor then as well and in fact after the recent breakdown of coalition exploratory Coalition Talks. Her party has become even more strong in votes in voicing its support for angloamerican so in a sense hope position to strengthened and she can watch with some. Equity limiting whats happening with the social democrats who really are on the spot at the moment w. s Political Correspondent hans brown for us thank you months now today is the day to shop christophe black friday that is true sumi in the weeks before christmas are crucial for many retailers annual profit in the United States black friday officially kicks off the Holiday Shopping spree and heres a bit of history for you the Philadelphia Police calling the phrase black friday back in the ninetys sixtys when friday after thanksgiving sales created traffic jams and drew so many on really shoppers that had darkened their workday and much of the hype has prevailed. Theyd barely had time to digest the thanksgiving turkey macys in new york opened its doors a day early the Iconic Department store keen to be the first stop for Enthusiastic Shoppers black friday has long been an institution in the United States traditionally seen as the beginning of the Holiday Shopping season when retailers go from being in the red to in the black. The day of bangs as consumption for Business Owners its a dream come true no wonder then that retailers abroad have tried to get in on the trend but is there an appetite for black friday outside of the United States some shoppers on the streets of berlin seemed less than enthusiastic. Its pointless. People will buy things whether theyre a little cheaper or not. Weve taken this on from america and its stupid. Online retailers have also been trying to caution in germany alone black friday and the following socalled cyber monday are expected to generate an extra one point seven billion euros in sales but german Consumer Protection groups are warning people to shop with caution they say its important to remember that not everything that glitters is gold. Cool head do some Research UsingPrice Comparison website to check if its really a good offer and whether or not to go for us a cool head while black friday may have arrived in germany it will probably be a while before scenes like these in new jersey become the norm. For more lets bring in our financial correspondent. Into black friday and cyber monday as people elsewhere now theres these days. One point seven billion euro zone sales put that figure into perspective for us. You know you just mentioned it chris when you go outside here on the streets in frankfurt we are not seeing those lines as we are seeing them for example in the United States black friday here in germany is mostly something for online retailers and he has one point seven billion euros of course lots of money but when you put this into perspective that in two thousand and seventeen retailers are estimated to make a total amount of five hundred billion euros of course this is still a relatively a small number is what is interesting though that experts are really telling me that they are seeing that the Consumer Behavior off people here in germany and europe have changed usually all the Christmas Shopping was done in december and now with this high of black friday at least online theyre seeing that this has kind of shifted now to the end of november and in other News Business climate in germany has been a big for quite some time now and it reached a record high in november but looking at the chart behind you behind your i think the markets are taking the news quite well. Yeah actually this came as a surprise for investors you mentioned the new record one hundred seventeen point five points investors were actually thinking that because of the crisis that were right now seeing in the German Government was forming a new government is that this could have actually harmed the economy but it doesnt seem to be the case and even though weve had a very strong euro in the last days which is usually harming the export business and because of that we see in many cases falling tears today the blue chip index dax is performing very strongly we are now with about one percent then your group in frankfurt thank you.
