Applause throw out of israeli lawmakers are thrown out of the chamber for protesting as he spoke. Also coming up in the next thirty minutes the latest from the punters league at runaway leaders pirate munich and didnt have everything their own way against vadra bremen but that the reigning champions and for good reason highlights from that match up more of the weekend for bowling action on the way. Im phil gayle welcome to the program so many social democrats are promising intense and tough negotiations with im ackles conservatives forming a new government in s. P. D. Only narrowly voted in favor of pursuing formal Coalition Talks the party says it isnt satisfied with the preliminary agreement and is calling on its leaders to bring negotiate some of the points possibly putting the s. P. D. On a collision course with the conservatives before talks even start. A special meeting of the social Democrats Parliamentary Group there is relief in the air that the Party Congress has paved the way to Coalition Talks but some still reject the idea of a grand coalition. In this democracy we need two strong alternative projects and in a grand coalition they get blurred we lost massively but things could still get worse. Off and weve been about a team now and we will discuss all the issues that we addressed during the exploratory talks again its clear that ultimately in Coalition Negotiations both sides will always have to make compromises. But the conservative c. D. U. C. S. U. Blocks willingness to revisit prior agreements is limited because we will flush out what we unanimously agreed in the exploratory treaty that is we will go indepth on those issues but we will reopen talks on what weve already rejected. Is on deals but. Nonetheless many germans seem relieved over the social democrats decision on sunday are you guys going to start i think they should get on with forming the grand coalition they should pull together and get something done now so that things can finally move forward to stand up being one of my own before. Im playing and i think they should take their mandate seriously and on the government of your own for dot com angle america will meet with c. S. U. And social democrat leaders to decide on the next steps towards a grand coalition. As john w. Political correspondent simon young who is outside save you had a quarter said welcome simon so the conservative party heads are going to back off for the c. D. U. An offer for the c. S. U. A meeting what can we expect to come out of that. Well thats just a meeting within the conservative side to discuss strategy going into the talks obviously theyve got to take account of the strong strength of opposition to a new grand coalition that we saw evidence of yesterday in that meeting of s. P. D. Delegates where they only very narrowly voted in favor of continuing with the talks tonights meeting of all three leaders magazine and martin shields of the s. P. D. Were told to talk about organizational matters the timetable for the coming fall Coalition Talks about of course theyll be tempted to at least earth in a look at the question of where some movement can still be found in the substantive talks about a new government for germany. And so i mean we saw in that report. The s. P. D. Unhappy about parts of the preliminary agreements and what those renegotiated the c d u a saying that no thats the agreement that you voted on but we can go into detail but that stands so already they havent met yet and theres pressure. Theres a lot of pressure because as you say theres a lot of dissatisfaction from the s. P. D. Side and martin shuls has said you know he wants to look at all the areas that have already been discussed in those talks over the last few weeks and see what can can still be pushed through in terms of social democratic ideas and of course thats hes main reason for saying that he wants to continue with talks is to say you know that if were inside the government we can push through some of our social democrat ideas in spite of the fact that the conservatives are in the majority there is a little bit of wiggle room perhaps for angle americal she said that the the agreement as it stands is the outline of what the Government Program will be but you know some of our people today have been signaling that there might be a way to make health care in germany a little fairer or to you know make it a slightly more generous arrangement for silence seekers in germany who want to bring their families here and so on so there might be some some room for maneuver but it certainly is very tight its going to be very difficult over the next few weeks briefly simon if all goes well when might germany see a new government. Well what people are saying is two three weeks for these are full Coalition Talks if theyre successful then as you know the s. P. D. Membership will get another chance to vote that might take a couple of weeks to organize people are saying it could well be meet march before any new grand Coalition Government in germany is sworn in so i mean young thank you.

Americas Vice President has told Israels Parliament that the United States will move its embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem by twenty nineteen by pences announcement was met with applause despite arab israeli lawmakers in the knesset being ejected for disrupting the start of the Vice President s speech main arab party have warned ahead of time that it would boycott his visit mr pence is the first top u. S. Official to visit jerusalem since the trump of ministration decision to recognize the contested city as israels capital. The w. s jerusalem correspondent a tiny kremlin is near the knesset welcome attorney tell us more about mike pence his message today. Well i mean it was a speech mark with a lot of biblical references and he also praised american israeli relations but he also reiterated again the decision by u. S. President chum to recognize jerusalem as the cups of israel because a lot of praise for that in the knesset he said seventy years it has been wrong and has invited by mr trump to take that decision and also as you have said he announced that actually the u. S. Embassy this very controversial issue of moving the u. S. Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem would be much sooner than it was expected it would be done by the end of two thousand and nineteen but he also had something to say to the palestinians lets listen what he had to say to them the United States appreciates your governments declared willingness to resume direct peace negotiations with the palestinian authority. And today we strongly urge the Palestinian Leadership to return to the table peace can only come through dialogue. To come a mike pence also said this was the dawn of a new era of peace negotiations but not everyone in the knesset welcome to this new era. Well its a bit difficult to call this a new era for the one hand we had of course the lawmakers of the Arab Coalition parties joined our list that made it clear before the speech that they would boycott mr pence speech they said this is a nail in the coffin of the of any peace with the palestinians and also the Palestinian Leadership have made it clear already in december after the decision on jerusalem that mr pence would not be welcome and no meeting basically with the other side of the official schedule there is no meeting that the Palestinian Leadership because the palestinians are saying as as much as also the most of the International Community thats a status of to swim should be part of a final status negotiations and the palestinians want to see East Jerusalem according to International Law they want to see this as the capital of their future states well as well as refusing to meet that mr. Arafat the Palestinian LeaderMahmoud Abbas is in brussels today meeting a new foreign minister lets hear from the e. U. Foreign policy chief frederica margarita. Clearly that is a problem with jerusalem i would say this is a very diplomatic euphemism and we europeans as well as all the out of words and the United Nations system as such. Still continue to believe that the only mathematic realistic solution for general selamat has to come from direct negotiations and has to be the capital of two states. Ten a crime i want to smash mood about so want from the e. U. Well he wants to keep this momentum that most of the International Countries also came out against this u. S. Decision and what he wants from the e. U. Is basically what he said today you would like them to recognize palestine as a state and he would like them to play a much bigger role. Here politically the e. U. Is one of the main donors in the occupied palestinian territories but at the same time the palestinians think they could play a much bigger role because what they have been saying over the past couple of weeks since this u. S. Decision is that they cant see the United States as an honest broker anymore in any kind of Peace Initiative so theyre looking for new parties to step in and also for possibly a new mechanisms if there will be a new Peace Initiative at this and they would like to see the e. U. To play a much bigger role in that kind of climate in jerusalem thank you all forces in afghanistan are investigating saturdays deadly thirteen abba long attack on kabuls landmark Intercontinental Hotel so i have a say gunmen who raided the compound on saturday evening wore on the uniforms and went from room to room looking for foreigners nineteen deaths have been confirmed so far well and Foreign Ministry say the dead included a German National the taliban says it carried out the attack.

The hydrogen the whizzer finally an afghan flag was away from the roof assigned the hotel had been secured but questions are being asked as to why it took Security Forces more than twelve hours.
