Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas says that the landmark oslo peace accord is over and lays the blame squarely with israel and donald trump. Plus we will have all of the goals for the weekends bundesliga action dortmund were looking to fill the gap with Pierre Emerick over my young dropped again but they didnt get the better for. You and. Im sorry kelly welcome to the Program Thanks for joining us. We begin with breaking news from iraq where at least thirty eight people have been killed and one hundred and five wounded in twin bombings in central baghdad bodies are still being recovered from the site in central tehran square it is feared that the death toll could rise the Iraqi Interior Ministry says that the explosives were detonated by two suicide bombers now this area has been targeted by similar blasts since two thousand and three there has been no claim of responsibility so far but this latest attack bears a similarity to previous bombings by the socalled islamic state. Well in other news here in germany a leading members of the social democrats are calling for better terms and a Coalition Blueprint mapped out with chancellor Angela Merkels conservatives they have to win over the partys rank and file who could vote against starting formal Coalition Talks on a new grand coalition now that move could trigger do National Elections americal center right christian democrats and their very own sister part of the c. S. U. Oppose shaking up the deal. The leaders of germany social democrats are trying to win over Party Members and gain their approval for formal Coalition Negotiations but its not proving easy. We should take into the coalition to expand discuss them in detail if that means discussing some points again why know much. About when this the Coalition Blueprints agree with Angela Merkels conservatives on friday could be improved on senior social democrats a. Few. Really good individual projects in this consultation paper on which we can and should develop further but the big social topics Like Health Care universal Public Health insurance or social housing are nearly entirely micio. The pressure is going as this nervousness politicians on both sides are talking tough. But it was Martin Shultz now needs to show that the s. P. D. Can be a reliable Coalition Partner and he must nip this potential revolt in the bud there can be no renegotiating. This is nonsense and of course i cant stop people from c. S. U. From talking nonsense were used to that but such strong arm tactics definitely dont help us come together social Democrat Members will be able to have their say on the grand coalition in a weeks time. Well from my lets bring in our correspondent Thomas Sparrow who is standing by at our parliamentary studios here in berlin in the german capital welcome to you thomas good morning you know as we just saw there from that piece that this does not look like a marriage made in political heaven but at the end of the day ken pragmatism when the day. Well sorry and it doesnt look that way because in a way these reluctant partners if you look for example of the conservatives their preferred coalition was not necessarily once again with the social democrats they had preferred a different coalition but got fed up last year and the social democrats themselves that said after the election in september they didnt want another grand coalition and they prefer to be in opposition but obviously the political situation in germany has led to these different parties to sit down and get at the table and as we saw last week have that twenty eight page document that is the blueprint for formal coalition and they go she ations so in a way they are obviously in different positions but both the conservatives and the social democrats want to avoid new Coalition New elections sorry which will be the result if this formal Coalition Talks fail so thats probably why the sitting down and thats probably why theyre doing everything they contract and have that coalition in place once again so lets get the prospects now of the s. P. D. Basically getting you know support from their base because you know many in the party that theyve been complaining that they dont see an off classic social democracy is still in particular we know that Martin Scholtz that hes heading to his home turf tonight north rhinewestphalia the partys heartland of course how will he try and win over his party colleagues. Essentially by presenting two areas or two topics one is europe that was something that was clear even before they started the exploratory talks that would be one of the key topics that the social democrats would try to push forward that idea of working closely together with france that idea of expanding european integration the second issue would obviously be social justice as with one area that martin shows has always tried to push forward areas on Education Investment which social democrats believe that they managed to get a good deal in this twenty eight day document that weve been talking about those are probably two areas where martin short will try and convince his Party Members and his delegates but its not an easy task and in fact next sunday he will be heading to bonn to the Party Conference of the s. P. D. Where he will certainly have to convince Party Delegates because they have to give the green light to entering or not entering formal Coalition Negotiations and just to remind our viewers i mean the best Case Scenario in all of this is basically that they go through this process germany gets a go thats a Coalition Government you know finally we have to also remember that elections were back in september take us through the worst Case Scenario of thomas because if the social democrats and merkels conservatives dont agree on a deal what happens then there will be two options in short syra one would be a minority government led by the conservatives something that obviously the conservatives want to avoid if they can have that minority government then fresh elections and fresh elections is something that both the conservatives and the social democrats want to avoid Thomas Sparrow in berlin thank you so much. Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has accused israel of ending the middle east Peace Process he said that israels actions mean that the oslo accords no longer exist those one thousand nine hundred four agreements formed the basis of ties between israel and the palestinians abbas also stressing his opposition to u. S. President Donald Trumps decision to recognized as israels capital he declared that jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Palestinian People he made the comments at the opening of a p. L. O. Meeting on the west bank now abbas also had strong words for trump who said that he would achieve the peace deal of the century between israel and the palestinians. We said no to trump and others no we will not accept his project. Told him the deal of the century is the slap of the century and we will retaliate. From the mark lets bring in jerusalem correspondent tanya kramer who is covering the story for us so tanya we just heard abbas there saying that israel has in effect ended the oslo peace accords take us through his rationale. Well you checked if he said that that is where and that the also codes what he means by that is it was actions and that they also cords for example by continuous building and expanding settlements in the occupied west bank and thats one of the criticisms the posting is have and made the agreements with israel and the vision of a two state solution. Impossible that he made that speech at the beginning of an important meeting by the p. L. O. Center council they will discuss the political implications of the decision by u. S. President to recognize twosome us the capital of israel and in light of this year as decision the positions are now trying to reframe their relations trying to reach frame their point of actions and what that means in concrete policy because we didnt get much of a complete policy in the speech by president abbas you might know that more once dismissing is concluded. Given that he has made this assessment this assessment that the oslo peace accords are dead first of all is that really the case and second of all does it even matter i mean the fact that that one side believes that the peace accords are dead does that kill the Peace Process of sensually. Well take to fully i mean people here would say there is no such thing as a Peace Process at the moments now mr abbas has made it kills in his speech that the postings want to continue to pass or peace but not in the way that the positions would accept a u. S. Led initiative that the u. S. Has a say alone and that was that kids they want to see an international approach maybe a multinational approach like for example in the existing. Bodies the quartet weve lived in it is quartet also. Tied plus one model that was successful in the Iran Nuclear Deal so what theyre saying they have to fill the void to know that u. S. Has left interesting a new model of approach to continue the peace initiatives and the time that we know that israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is currently in india but before he left the middle east he accused abbas of of trying to dodge peace negotiations using transfer marks interest them as an excuse i just want to play for our viewers what exactly he said and then get your reaction there after have a listen. Has used this. Statement to seek a way to send from the run away from the negotiations done it before you want to negotiate produce youve got to negotiate. Weve never put any preconditions undergoes additions ultimately tanya is israel itself prepared for talks now is it prepared to make concessions. Well thats exactly the question i mean this is the official point that youve just been hearing is that the palestinians are the ones that every fusing to come to the negotiating table i think the decision by the u. S. President has really strengthened its really dealt with this is a very bright government and at the moment there will be no incentive for them to change course and the right. Time to kramer with the latest from jerusalem thank you lets get a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world u. S. President donald trump says that he is not a racist trump was on his way to dinner when a reporter asked about disparaging remarks that he reportedly made about haiti and africa the us president told the journalist quote i am the least racist person that you will never interview.

Youre watching news still to come on the program tunisians won a Nobel Peace Prize just two years ago for their prodemocracy efforts after the arab spring but could protests over price hikes destabilize the nation once again and a very lucky escape for air travelers in turkey after a landing goes horribly wrong. But first our is here and he has taken us to motor city this morning to detroit sara reza detroit motor show kicked off on sunday it is the industrys largest event in the u. S. The United States and china of course being the worlds most important car markets now as u. S. Consumers have had a long lasting love for pickup trucks carmakers were eager to present their latest big expensive gas guzzlers analysts say the high end segment could benefit from President Trumps tax reform luxury car makers especially could be the clear winners as the new tax legislation leave more cash in the hands of those with higher incomes but concerns about potential protectionism in the u. S. Market cast a shadow over the industries of war and carmakers performance last year and a look ahead at twenty eighteen our correspondent carsten phenomena spoke to b. M. W. s chief Financial Officer. Dr peter immobility is said to be the future of the car industry a number of countries throughout the world are trying to get more electric and hybrid cars on the road now here in america this administration has different priorities but there are many states and cities who are pushing this development how important is this Market Segment for b. M. W. First of all in terms of electric powered car two thousand and seventeen was a very successful year for the b. M. W. Group we have sold more than one hundred street sounds and costs worldwide which makes us the number one worldwide in the premium segment for electrified cost the u. S. Marketplace and key role in this strategy why because even from a global perspective twenty percent of the cost of the electric power cost west sold in the u. S. And this definitely on the lines developments and the patents of the u. S. Markets and we are very optimistic that sings to our investments in this technology we will see photos of momentum we will see further grows in the years to come. Though in general two thousand and seventeen was a difficult year in the u. S. Market for many producers including german producers and b. M. W. What good reasons for this was this partly because of a loss of trust because of the. Fox bargain or because of President Trump lessing out against germany produces what is your assessment from from our perspective to sounds and seventeen was a what i would call a transition year wine because the very important x. Three was in one out weve started to production of the new x. We late in twenty seventeen and since we have seen close we have seen a very good momentum in the u. S. Market so im optimistic far twenty eighteen for our performance in the u. S. Market why. Because on one hand side we have a very successful five series was a full year impact in twenty eighty and on the other hand side we are launching the x three to be followed by z x fawzi x two and later in the years the x. Seven so in a market which is clearly more and more focused on issues we have exactly the right mix of products. B. M. W. Chief Financial OfficerNicholas Peters speaking to our correspondent carsten phenomena there for more lets cross over to our markets correspondent daniel koeppen frankfurt we just heard. Is pretty upbeat about the year ahead are investors as well. Well very interesting comments made by the sea of all of b. M. W. Calling two thousand and seventeen a year off transition actually when you talk to investors here in frankfurt theyre telling me that they also think that two thousand and eighteen is going to be quite a challenging year for carmakers also when you look at the Sales Numbers there were when you talk for example about the u. S. Market pretty much by all a car makers are dropping already in two thousand and fifteen seventeen in the case of volkswagen always very interesting of course for the investors they were dropping by almost nineteen percent also and b. M. W. Were not coming out with very impressive numbers also two thousand and eighteen is going to be quite challenging because well be seeing higher Interest Rates in the United States seventy percent off car owners in the u. S. Still buy their cars with a credit and also speaking about the German Market investors are telling me its going to be quite bumpy because many are calling the market here kind of as a bubble with. With customers receiving great discounts which of course makes the numbers off car sales going up but carmakers not making as much money as they would like to make with them now then you know fox wagon said on sunday that its namesake namesake brand sold more vehicles worldwide in twenty seventeen than ever before and the company also unveiled a new model in detroit will that be enough to finally gain some traction on the u. S. Market. Well thats at least what theyre hoping for volkswagen has been for a long time mostly creating a bad headlines in the United States with these are the gates scandal also their employee all the version sentenced to more than seven years in prison because of the scandal now their big hope is the jet are caught not really famous here in germany but already pretty well recognized during the last years in the United States their hope is really to get this a model to be a very Success Story in the u. S. Daniel cope in frankfurt thank you.
