A referendum on independence from iraq the problem practically all the regions big players bitterly opposed the vote and have been pushing back. On the war of words between President Trump and pyongyang again ask allayed snorts korea says the u. S. Has declared war the white house calling that claim sir. And in soccer the Champions League resumes than i germicide receive dortmund play host to defending champion ryall madrid which seemed like a very tall order but is it sitting at the top of the bundesliga table dortmund scored a league high of nineteen goals they have an unbeaten run against real madrid in fact theyve never lost at home in this competition. Im brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show we began with the fallout from the german election a week and chancellor merkel has started the process of looking for partners to form a new government she is expected to talk with the probusiness free democrats and the greens parties at opposite ends of the political spectrum adding to the pressure on the chancellor the immigration alternative for germany is now the nations third Strongest Party and is preparing to enter the German Parliament. Nothing in the German Parliament will stay as it was behind the scenes power plays and Party Leaders sounding each other out the first bombshell came from the f. T. As one of the leaders of the far right party walked out of its news conference. I have decided not to be part of the f. T. s Parliamentary Group but to sit independently in parliament for the time being. Frank a petrie is unlikely to be the last in the f. T. To distance themselves from the extreme right elements within their own party but chancellor Angela Merkel is facing bigger problems after the social democrats ruled out for me a grand coalition with her conservatives the three Way Partnership with the business friendly liberal democrats and the environmentalist greens seems the only possibility even if its all smiles in public their political outlooks remain worlds apart they are likely to demand a heavy price for making any compromises meanwhile the bavarian christian socialists the c. D. U. Sister party are also threatening to quit their alliance with merkels conservatives unless their demands are met. In my view its absolutely essential that we set out a clear commitment to stemming the influx of refugees in other words a cap on numbers. Thats what weve promised people. The f. T. P. And the greens are unlikely to go along with any cap on refugees it almost seems as if the chancellor is already missing her Old Coalition partners in the s. P. D. Here theyre not really thoughts of chris we will let you know having exploratory talks with the f. T. P. And the greens. But i would like to add also with the s. P. D. Because it is important that germany form a strong stable government. After the hammering at the poles the social democrats are looking to reinvent themselves the last thing most members want is a rerun of the last government with angloamerican. If she wants to call me she can i think that since the socalled elephant round of talks yesterday she has Better Things to do with her time thinking all others. The new Parliamentary Groups will come together for the first time on tuesday the powerplays just getting underway. And who exactly will be sharing political power is very much up in the air this morning im joined now by our Political Correspondent hans brandt good morning hans will be able to put together a coalition with the greens in the free democrats that are at opposite ends of the spectrum its going to take a lot of time people say if we have a new government by christmas that will be good going we have to say that obviously is a very good negotiator you also have to say that they are quite a number of people involved in these negotiations that are interested in actually being in government and actually having it goes for the greens especially theyve set up a whole campaign in the last few months on that premise the free democrats are a little bit more hesitant then theres obviously im going to knock us party who is in a sense condemned to leading a new government because they are the Strongest Party and i think is very interested in continuing with her policies in germany so its going to be very delicate its going to take a long time theyre going to be concessions that have to be made on both sides. Were going to have to wait and see its not impossible that it fails its possible if they could take till christmas the social democrats could be out there adding to the pressure on maca libertarians want to cap on migrants how difficult will that make things that actually is probably could well be the most difficult stumbling block in these negotiations the variance Christian Social Union did very badly in the region in the area theyre facing elections in about two years time Regional Elections there and if they lose their majority there. That is unprecedented in fact in german history so they would they would push very hard to push through their demands including this cap but the cap of something at the greens have already refused completely to find a common point. A compromise there and that and that single issue is going to be very very difficult how one issue can hold things up well be talking about more in just a bit you know a germans have elected a new parliament as weve been discussing of course and as we just heard from hans a new Coalition Government may take weeks even months to form for now the old government is still in place now if chancellor merkel wants to keep her job she must form a new coalition because her social democratic partners have pledged to go into the political opposition negotiations will be tricky if her new government is to hold an absolute majority in parliament by law the new Parliament Must convene thirty days after the election the twenty fourth of october at the latest whether a new government is in place or not now a Parliament Parliamentary majority is needed to formally elect a new chancellor and that could take some time because theres no deadline in the past coalitions have been in place by the end of the year. Now as mentioned of course one key fact here is that the center left social democrats say they will not be part of a new government as Martin Schulze their former Coalition Partner led by scholz finish second with that partys worst ever result party leader martin jol says voters have sent his party a message that they should go into opposition but many see it as another sign that socialism is losing ground across europe and the social democratic parties have lost touch with the working class. But one more from france knows how it feels to lose George Papandreou from greece has known it for a long time and now germanys Martin Schulz knows it too its. Seventeen years ago socialists or social democrats were governing in almost all the big e. U. Countries like france germany and the u. K. Now theyve been pushed to the borders of the European Union in france the socialists scored a humiliating six point three percent in this years president ial election if they really abandon power in germany italy is the last important bastion for now nobody believes that they really provide us to the pressing problems off the people that say at the no in the noise income brackets and you know basically thats why i think votes have gone down everywhere for all for them so i think its a lot about. What social democracy should stand for namely a more equal society. Equality was the hallmark of socialist and social Democratic Leaders like billy bunter in germany. Or false i mean total in france they represent at the pinnacle of the modern and successful political left in your. Eye today only Jeremy Corbett in the u. K. Is bucking the trend by steering his party farther to the last look on the wall right over there is that right the solution wonderful festival. In brussels the party of the European Social democrats is asking precisely that question and after the initial shock vows to fight back. A little bit he giovani. Say. Young people Financial Aid for children and also migrants arriving in our countries we need dignified Living Conditions for all people especially those in difficult and marginalized situations we need to be the party that takes care of the poorest people and gets old these. People. The stance echoing the lefts glory days with leaders like germanys good how much would i or even the early force well known in france after the german election they seem as distant as they ever have. It will take more than a little effort from social democrats and socialists in the e. U. To get back on track. Well look if there is a very unfortunate image for the social democrats could the german social democrats have seen their worst political result in decades i go the way of the french social democrats falling six point three percent. At the moment it doesnt look at they will crash down as far as that but obviously social democrats in germany are facing similar problems to social democrats all over europe and probably all over the world its got to do with the re structuring of industry as a whole what used to be parties of labor in a situation where that form of labor is no longer really in existence theyre losing their basis their could their foundation their main voting base and in fact in this to a german election more laborous more workers voted for the far right deal than from the so for the social democrats so there is a readjustment necessary also in policies that cannot be policies that are simply based on the interests of the laboring clause and thats something thats happening all over Europe Social democrats here appear to be in all turning more towards the day if thats an indication given by the rise and. Shes going to be the leader of the social democrats in parliament in the parliamentary opposition shes a former. Leader of the youth wing so shes a left winger it looks like theyre going the direction of cope and the labor party in Great Britain thanks for that here on our political desk for us this morning this is the news still to come on the show Fertile Ground for the far right the anti immigration a. F. D. Is now the most Popular Party in the eastern german state of saxony d. W. Finds out why and. So what impact is this election result having on the financial world allan is following that this morning of course you know how it goes brian whenever theres Political Uncertainty well anxiety in the Business Community is sure to follow and the longer talks over a new Coalition Government here in bunyan run well the more german Business Confidence stands to be shaken no surprise then that companies here are hoping for a quick resolution but thats not the only thing worrying Business Leaders here in germany. Shocking thats what volkswagen c. E. O. Mathias miller called the far right parties entry into the bonus time. To the test he and other Business Leaders are calling for the rapid formation of a new government. And whats important for us irrespective of Party Politics is that it doesnt take too long to conclude Coalition Talks the very difficult negotiations but they have to agree on a forward looking program so that business is aware which conditions will apply in the future will be crucial. To the federation of german industry is the b. T. I. Wants to avoid damage to germany as a Business Location its calling on the government to provide a three hundred million euro investment package saying Companies Need clear signals germanys chambers of commerce and industry are making similar demands. The Business Community is sending its own kind of Coalition Agreement or investments with three focal points investment in education in a modern infrastructure and in spaces for entrepreneurial activity. Our country lives off ideas and the work of businesses and their employees. Those are resources. Another important focus is continuity and thats just what chancellor Angela Merkel is providing with a fourth term in office according to dortch a bank Bank Executive say her experience and rational approach to governing could help germany and the European Union move forward in the coming years. I was in the at for a job at the Supervisory Board of the and so that company has given the go ahead for the acquisition talks about in his meeting with new tuns and easyjet to settle for parts of his business and those discussions are giving hope to eight thousand employees a deal for the future of air berlin is taking form the bankrupt airline stated after a Board Meeting on monday negotiations with the chance to end easyjet are being held until october twelfth.
