A dignified one new pictures are published of Zimbabwes PresidentRobert Mugabe meeting with the military men who led the takeover what will they do with the dictator that they once supported. Plus a jaw dropping sale at christies in new york on the pins. So. A five hundred year old masterpiece by a Leonardo Da Vinci becomes the most expensive piece of art ever sold at auction well ask can any painting really be worth half a billion dollars. Im bringing off its good to have you with us we are watching the clock tonight here in germany a decisive political moment could be at hand the Political Parties in. Volved in talks to form a new Coalition Government have just a few hours before a crucial deadline a deadline to iron out their differences and then go into government together failure could mean new elections of the chancellor Angela Merkel is confident that there will be be a deal tonight on what has been dubbed the Jamaica Coalition jamaica because the Political Parties colors match those of the jamaican flag but the chairs are admits there are some serious differences remain. Four weeks of negotiations have seen the chances for a socalled Jamaica Coalition hover at fifty fifty one thing is clear theres still no love lost between the very parties who say they want to govern under chancellor Angela Merkel. That talk of the elite is the day when we have to put ourselves in the shoes of the other side and ask what is important to them. On balance of all you can achieve that kind and if we do we will also achieve a positive result at the end of these negotiations and when stephen negotiators come and go those who face the microphones are still busy placing blame and stressing their own limits notably when it comes to the right of all refugees to have their families join them in germany. I need to say one thing is clear we will insist on the right of refugees with subsidiary protection to be reunited with their families in germany thats an issue of trust for us here. When i look up but other parties already fear a public backlash if thousands of migrants are allowed to bring their families to germany. Because. We cant assign things here that could fan on extremism in germany. That is why we are available for a fact oriented solution rooted in humanitarian reasoning German Foreign policy appears to have become the latest casualty in the struggle to strike a deal between the four parties. Weve taken a step back and now that the foreign deployment of German Forces became an issue again all Foreign Policy issues are back on hold. While the exploratory talks for a Government Coalition could be extended public patience with unlimited efforts to forge a coalition is running thin. And following the talks for us tonight as our correspondents talk to ports going to show a lot and so is an agreement a lot tonight is that widely. Well one thing is for sure it does look like its going to be a very very long night here its been eight weeks since the german elections and four weeks since these negotiations started and really all the party negotiators want to be done with that they want to either find a compromise or tell tonight this is not going to work that we will fail but either or they want a decision tonight and they are working towards it we are hearing there are a number of contentious issues such as climate by gratian and finance those are the most controversial issues and were hearing that there is some Movement Towards each other in terms of climate and some movement or actually no movement in terms of migration for example on the contentious issue of family reunions so will there be a breakthrough tonight i think from what were hearing we can say that it is more likely that there will be a compromise and that they will continue with Coalition Talks and that germany will at some point in the near future see to make a coalition and the larger what happens if these talks fail and what will it mean for the german chancellor. It would really be a disaster the party negotiators a lot of them have been saying that if those talks fail it would be a real catastrophe on the one hand it would be it would mean that snap elections would be called that means germany what hold new elections and that could lead to a push for example from voters for extremist parties or parties more on the left or on the right because they are disappointed with the negotiations of the four parties that are negotiating at the moment on the other hand for that would mean a real failure because she is a strategic good negotiator usually see is the leader of the Strongest Party in these Coalition Talks and as such if these talks fail it would be her failure and that might mean that she will not pose as a candidate for chancellor again in a new election and that and she wouldnt have a fourth term as the chancellor of germany you know a lot at stake for angloamerican tonight as well our correspondents who are on the story force she ought to thank you. Yes so in politics how do you square a circle well joining me now here at the table talk about that is forward for gandhi he is known as a shadow negotiator he advises Large Companies on complex talks and hes going to give us some insight into these complicated negotiation its good to have you on the show so what are we seeing right now weve got these basically these these four camps that are very different and theyre pushing their agendas right down to the wire risking failure and you know theyre really doing that or is that a strategy. Well first a tactic strategy could be for each of these parties to head for a win loose which means to take care of their own interests and to sell that windows as a win win which means that the other parties are able to win to a to put pressure to set a deadline on all the parties is an open tactic for all the involved of the titians in order to reach finally a go and find an agreement have because imperative to those Coalition Negotiations they have a running negotiation with the voters with a mass and in that direction they need to they doesnt doesnt need to do so face this is what they try to avoid if they want to lose face especially if theyre not in government yet what would be your advice to the parties right now i mean were looking at what three four hours left before the deadline is reached what should they be doing is it a question of which party is stronger right now its differently but what they could and should do differently i hope they have did it already is. They first need to prioritize those points they want to negotiate on which is the ministries the allocation of people the political projects the next point is to set up as much as possible optional packages which would meet and address the interests of the other parties and they should try to put out one package after the other work other the first one would address their needs first and the second one move to the add to the needs of the other parties and so on this is what they definitely need to do in multilateral negotiations we know that tensions can rides negotiations are one and the play a bite from an obviously very angry mr critz mon hes the state premier of bar invertebrate here in germany hes also a member of the greens lets know what he had to say one hundred one for how if you negotiate when you negotiate and refrain from attacking the other parties involved you just dont do that otherwise i get the feeling that they dont want to see any constructive or successful outcome and if thats the case they should just say so. Do you agree well no i dont i dont what i have seen right now out of his facial expression he was reading three and a good negotiator does not need any kind of emotions ok she should be able to control them you know which does not mean that you do not get angry do get right but the anger should not be the motivation for your decision even though even not in that moment when you are talking with the media. People get angry when they they feel that there is no way out. So he obviously feels or perception his position to be weak and thats moment and thats not good so if you believe that about himself this is fascinating and i wish we had more time to talk about this but i have a feeling in twenty four hours we may still be talking about some type of negotiations going on mr gandhi the shadow negotiator thank you very much welcome. Where there are new photos tonight of Zimbabwes PresidentRobert Mugabe the first since tuesday nights military takeover in the country of the images showing mugabe holding talks with the military theres also a delegation from south africa including jacob zuma mr zuma says that the political situation in the country should become clear very shortly so is a solution in sight we have this report. These images show Robert Mugabe meeting Zimbabwes Army chief and two South African envoys brought in to mediate at his official residence in harare reports claim the longtime president is refusing to step down but mugabe is under pressure to resign. Zimbabwes Opposition LeaderMorgan Tsvangirai said the president in power since one thousand nine hundred eighty should go quietly in the interest of the country and elections should be called. A transitional mechanism. And that the purpose that the nature and conduct of that theyre going to read up old by all nationalistic will. Be comprehensive reforms for free and a fair and credible election to be held. Rumors have been flying about whether mugabes wife grace is with him or whether she managed to flee the country before the military action on wednesday graces ambitions to succeed her husband are said to be behind the current turmoil. Last week mugabe sacked his Vice President the army potentially saw this as paving the way for grace to take over the militarys actions though have put a stop to her hopes for now the sacked Vice President emerson. Is tipped to head a Transitional Government backed by the military an option the African Union said it wouldnt support. If indeed we in the African Union are against any violent government overthrow i have issued a statement saying the army should retreat and return to Constitutional Order we support the legitimate zimbabwean government and in no case will we accept the forceful seizure of power. To force it but of course. It remains to be seen whether Robert Mugabe can hold on to his tight grip on power. Or earlier we spoke to pastor evan. In the capital harare last year his social Media Campaign hash tag this flag triggered the largest antigovernment protests in a decade and we asked him about his take on whats going on in the country right now. Well this is a its such an unprecedented time for zimbabwe and right now. The feeling of change is palpable as i speak the entire country is sitting on the edge but the citizens of our nation are in support of change and would really want to see it in public that goes in a different direction from the direction that weve been going for the last thirty seven years some of the things that we definitely want to see is our constitution being respected as we go forward we want to see. New transitional inclusive government coming into place so that it can safely carry us to the next election or to whatever is agreed to by this inclusive Transitional Government that includes everybody opposition people from Civic Society citizens and so forth so that we really start to build our nation in a different way going forward. With tonight lebanons former Prime Minister saad hariri has accepted an invitation to travel from saudi arabia to paris french president emmanuel microland had invited to read to stay for a few days and his exact arrival date has not yet been and now lebanon has accused saudi arabia of holding our every hostage following his shock resignation earlier this month saudi arabia has denied the allegations and says hariri is free to travel to paris at any time. Hi this is the Business News now i guess it was the news that the employees zeman said the morning to hear not really brand because you know as the minutes is one of germanys best known companies but now it is says its going to caught almost seven thousand jobs worldwide in its power gas and drives divisions which have seen a sharp drop in demand half of those jobs will be right here in germany where the Company Makes gas turbines for power plants lets take a look at what the problem is the problem is that demand for gas turbines has actually collapsed now according to the minutes as the company switched to Renewable EnergyGlobal Demand will only be one hundred new turbines in the next year thats for all manufacturers can bite so alone right now has the capacity to build one hundred thirty turbines more than the market needs of course and it gets even worse capacity among all the worlds turbine makers together is four hundred units a year that means of course that siemens needs to rethink its strategy however the companys turbine subsidiary is one of the biggest in the whole conglomerate before demand dropped unexpectedly turbines made up twenty percent of the profits rumors about cutting off thousands of workers have been circulating for weeks the decision comes at a time where the company is actually doing pretty well so the unions are heavily criticizing the management is it greed or just a way to secure remaining jobs in the future thats where both visions clash. The wide ranging seamans workers of long feared unemployed to reality despite billions of euros profits the industrial giant is cutting thousands of jobs and closing plants around the world a total of six thousand nine hundred jobs will be lost. Three thousand three hundred will go in germany. Two plants in eastern germany will be shut down completely others around the country hang in the balance. Thats why ive been in this company a long time and never seen anything like this four plant closures one likely to be sold off and so many people affected its a real body blow off thats. The power and gas division is worst hit struggling to cope with the upsurge in Renewable Energy demand for gas turbines has tumbled drastically depressing prices and profits with production no longer economically viable siemens says it will try to avoid forced returned and sees as far as possible it wants to transfer affected workers to other vacancies within the company nonetheless the Engineering Workers union ig. Mattel accuses siemens of breach of contract and promises massive resistance to the plans. Its not the only news we saw in the Energy Sector today twenty countries and two u. S. States have joined an International Alliance to face out coal from Power Generation before twenty thirty the socalled Global Alliance to power past coal was unveiled on thursday at the cup twenty three International Climate meeting in the german city of plant coal is responsible for more than forty percent of global emissions of Greenhouse Gases go to new alliances committed to facing out coal sharing Emissions Reduction Technology and encouraging the rest of the worlds to cut cold usage ironically host country germany isnt part of the alliance. And more than a Million People have fled from south sudan to uganda the German Aid Organization ventolin here first provides Development Help in the form of Sustainable Farming and Vocational Training for many of the refugees in the northern part of the country but resources from the German Government might soon go elsewhere. As berlin is setting new priorities. Animals have long help farmers boost the productivity of their land the German Aid Organization the home health or world hunger aid has distributed hundreds of oxen to farmer groups in northwest uganda. With the oxen plowing is much easier i can plough an acre in three hours with a hoe it takes. Me. The locals are farming with the help of refugees peter ya know thats the projects and he says that the refugees fleeing the war in south sudan will be staying for years. It is very important if we respond in emergency that we ought to look ahead in the midterm and Long Development for us it is important here in the in the rule areas to work with the refugees and the ugandans together to improve their knowledge in farming that theyre able to produce food for themselves. There are only ninety thousand refugees spread over a huge area most of them are from south sudan gondor provides refugees with farm land aid organizations take care of the water supply its being coordinated by the United Nations peter yonder knows his way around german developmental politics so to lead of it be a shift in prioritize ation there will be certainly more money. Going into the direction to prevent migration refugee migration and less. Effort and focus would be on countries like thank you gun which. Again as more than one million refugees one of the poorest countries in the word. But yonder still has millions to help people to help themselves a group is overseeing ninety communities with thirty families each thanks here are few and far between so each Farming Community has its own savings and Loan Association yonder says its strengthen social bonds and encourages entrepreneurship thats all for business and its back to brant because brant i heard that you secretly thought me a great christmas present. It cost about half a billion u. S. Dollars and ill tell you about it like that yet anonymous buyer has been doing some spending he spent a record some on a work by the renaissance painter Leonardo Da Vinci its an astounding price for a painting that was once thought to be by one of his students a previously the work had changed hands for just a few thousand dollars but at christies in new york it was a different story. Ladies and gentlemen we move to. Change the subject of modern day the masterpiece probably not of christ the savior previous in the collections of three kings of england savior of the world a cortright of jesus christ one of fewer than twenty paintings known to exist by the in a sense must ninety minute looking for ninety five in house christie said the presale estimates at one hundred Million Dollars but that was soon exceeded ninety five and i gave one side of it when i didnt say i have it one hundred ten million go get me one twenty the bidding via phone just getting going on ninety has been you heard it you place your place with francois in a fifth place that one hundred ninety billion out o. One hundred ninety million give me two hundred one ninety is bit two hundred million its been that you are good million two hundred million just how high could you go at two hundred eighty. Million dollars so well down maybe not. Take the photograph quite the next milestone three hundred well give it to ninety six. I thought so the three hundred million. And even though its was in the top thank you three hundred seventy million back to france once climbed three hundred and seventy Million Dollars it will all fall on him it is the thing. Not a service of money selling if i create states four hundred Million Dollars is that it and the piece is so was with an extra fifty Million Commission for christies the total price tag four hundred fifty Million Dollars the bio has so far remained anonymous so we dont know if the public will ever get a chance to see the work again thank you thank you wed like to know who has that kind of money to spend on a piece of artwork im joined now here at the big table by robert and he is an auctioneer in an arctic sport with the debt in big auction house here in berlin its good to have you on the show thanks is there a piece of artwork anywhere that is worth half a billion dollars well its a good question and its all in on wood so right there is no value of course but of course here we have like a masterpiece you dont have to travel to the louvre you have you know message peace at home so therefore of course it is striking that debt to buy us to buy a new world struggling around about this picture of aat which is of course a wonderful piece of art. If you do you think bought it i mean i know i have an idea because. Only a few really freaky guys out there spending a house a billion on on a painting i think its in the american collection and i have more specific idea in my camby bill gates because bill gates was in the past a collector and know. Collector of united have been chief hotkey and one thousand nine hundred ninety four there was a quote unless the codex sold to him for a stunning price of almost thirty four Million Dollars so therefore i think we might going to see the piece of art somewhere hanging in a private museum an American Court or private museum or maybe one day open to the public bill gates is the type of person you could imagine one day his collection could be given to a museum it was on was you record two or maybe out of them given to the National Museum in washington or Something Like that i mean do you think theres a fear that a private buyer bought this and will never see it again its a good question we saw this in the past with the sunflowers we never know what happened with his picture he it can be the same its just speculation he is speculation i mean its our own wood i mean its small you can you can put this wherever you like but you dont have to call the you know the psychology of people who go to auctions if he were willing to spend a lot of money on a piece of artwork right if someone spends that much money even if they are mega rich theyre going to want to show it off arent they. I would say yes at one point yes but today i dont know if to in a happy mood on a bad mood open champagne or not maybe get some agreements with his wife we dont know what the day after that such a have a price in the family who own no one who owns now does picture the it is speculation because we have a new milestone here. I was sure its going to happen one day we going to go from one sensation to another which did you see i mean you were watching this or she did you see that you see it going up to three hundred million four hundred million yes i mean i could feel it i mean it was like a recession before it was palpable i mean it was it was like really you could cut the end to auction people were applauding. They were all packed in this moment even the bidders probably on the phone didnt know what to do you serious we got to go up until were running out of time fascinating talking with you when we get half a billion dollars will call you back to.
