A childhood behind bars. And disappointing results for germanys biggest banks more than half a billion euros in losses so what is going on with the countrys largest lender. Im going to have you with us michael heads into the final round of talks to form a new government this weekend with less than half the country supporting her hoped for a grand coalition that according to a new poll released today there is still doubt whether merkel will pull the coalition off and germans are losing patience the numbers are even worse for her potential Coalition Partners the social democrats Germany Center left party is looking at its lowest Approval Ratings ever. Germanys social democrats need to regroup theyre still the second Largest Party in parliament but their standing has been flagging since the partys poor Election Results last september the latest polls suggest if people voted now chancellor Angela Merkels conservatives would score thirty three percent of the vote far ahead of the s. P. D. Which would get only eighteen percent and thats just four points ahead of the far right alternative for Germany Party which would score fourteen percent the business friendly f. T. P. Would score ten percent the greens and the left party eleven percent each the center left s. P. D. Recently agreed to formal talks with chancellor merkels conservatives with the aim of forming another grand Coalition Public opinion on the prospect is mixed in the future this means a standstill nothing will get done its a lame compromise strange for i think its crucial for germany that the two parties unite me i was hoping for a different result less than half of those polled forty six percent approve of a grand Coalition Government fifty two percent disagree but just over half still think chancellor merkel should keep her job fifty one percent of german surveyed felt good or very good about the chancellor remaining of the helm while forty six percent had a less favorable opinion of her leadership as a head i would have liked to see a change but you convinced me i support the chancellor we have no other choice. Both parties will meet this weekend for further talks but even if theyre successful in forming a coalition theres not much enthusiasm for it on the streets. We have our Political Correspondent for time and young with us here in studio hi simon it seems like germans are losing patience that the two Coalition Parties theyre meeting at to have hammer out a deal or try to hammer out a deal will they manage to buy this weekend id say its still hangs in the balance at this moment you know these talks have been going on as you say a painstaking glacial uninspired call of what you will hear the deal making has been done has been a fudgy compromise done on migration with the conservative side saying theyre standing tough and the social they were saying theyre standing up for humanitarian principles so the party is sort of already splitting on how they interpret the deal that theyve done and there are other areas still to work out labor market policy health care and some others if they wanted to finish up by sunday i think it might take a few days longer but im expecting theyll get there in the end what about chancellor merkel she has a fifty one percent Approval Ratings right now should she be worried even if she does manage to get a government together but shes not as sure of her position as she used to be and her personal Approval Rating is about ten percent or lower now than it was at the time of the general election back in september but i think even more important than you know approval is the fact that people within the conservative ranks also in the media have begun to talk a lot more in the last couple of months about the possibility that one day america wont be the chancellor you know theyre saying that perhaps she isnt the person to renew her party and to lead the country in the future so more of these noises of come out paul. In the context of the slow Coalition Talks what about for Coalition Partners the s. P. D. They once had a double the support that they have right now what has been behind their decline well because there are there are many reasons i think social democrat policies around europe have their roots in traditional left politics have to find a new agenda in the post industrial economy perhaps a new way of talking to Younger Voters and so on but there are other things as well too many grand Coalition Governments with the social conservatives you know this will be the fourth cold with democrats and serves of two conservatives together if it happens so that is that is affected their support the other thing a lot of people within the s. P. D. A saying the leader most insurance hasnt really done what he should have done he hasnt inspired and he hasnt really need the policy and given a new direction our Political Correspondent simon young breaking down the story for us thank you very much simon.
