A done deal also coming up pope francis finally uses the word rohingya as he meets muslim refugees in bangladesh he says he is sorry for the worlds and difference but thats after he failed to raise their plight publicly on his visit to me and who were the bodies while i was screaming shouting i want money i want money we cant buy milk you can then again want to cried the shocking sale of refugees as slaves in libya european and African Leaders agree on emergency measures to evacuate thousands before they end up on the auction block. On World Aids Day we meet a woman and fighting to break the stigma associated with the disease shes speaking out about living with hiv in india in a bid to end the social isolation that often comes with the virus. Plus the countdown to next years world cup in russia begins with excitement growing ahead of todays do. Wrong for the tournaments. Im simply someones gonna get to have you with us the leader of germany social democrats that all options are on the table for forming a government martin shells will let ask members decide on whether to Start Coalition talks with Angela Merkels conservatives at a Party Conference later this month its an option he rolled out after septembers election but he has come under intense pressure to break the deadlock gripping german politics marching childes made it clear that his party has not decided anything a grand coalition as well as other alternatives are still on the table. There was broad support for not ruling out any options when it comes to forming a government. We have an acting government in place and we are not under time pressure. So i poke the s. P. D. Chairman rejected media reports that at a meeting last night with president hung steinmeyer his party opted to pursue a grand coalition steinmeyer invited chancellor Angela Merkel the varian conservative leader horse over and schultz to discuss the ongoing governmental impasse. Schultz was visibly irritated at the media reporting on what were confidential talks and blamed conservatives for the leak. Because these statements seem to have originated in the conservative bloc i called mrs merkel and told her that i find this an acceptable to. The s. P. D. Rank and file are divided on whether to enter another coalition with conservatives many social democrats want the party to make a fresh start in the opposition the s. P. D. Youth organization is collecting signatures to protest another grand coalition and the general public is also skeptical. I think this is a bad solution a political deadlock i think this would be a bad idea. For im all for fresh elections and no good reason. Its maybe the only chance to form a government on the other hand wed lose out on the s. P. D. Is a strong opposition. At this point only one thing is clear until there is a new government. Will stay on as acting chancellor. And chief Political Correspondent melinda crane is standing by for us hi melinda where do you think all of this is heading. Well i think that Party Conference that was mentioned of the social democrats is likely to agree with clenched teeth and by no means with an overwhelming majority to let the partys leadership begin Coalition Negotiations but that does not mean that another edition of the grand coalition between the s. P. D. And chancellor merkel social christian democrats and Christian Social Union that the varian sister party is by any means assured the fact is whether the speedy does agree then to actually enter a coalition i think will very much depend upon the results of the talks and in particular on whether the s. P. D. Get significant concessions from the chancellors party there is one plus for the s. P. D. Martin schulz as many of our viewers will probably remember served for a long time in brussels in the bureau paean union hes very interested in shaping policy towards europe and being in the coalition in a grand coalition would allow him to do so but that is not a real vote getter among the parties rank and file so what they will be looking for are very visible concessions visible benefits for the middle and working class perhaps along the lines of Health Insurance reform and if they dont get that then i think its not at all likely that well see a grand coalition and of yesterday has been very reluctant to joined us a grand coalition and Martin Schultz actually ruled it out after the september elections what do you think this all means for him. Thats right and his discomfort and his ambivalence were absolutely written on his face today at that press conference his fate essentially depends on the same thing that i just discussed on results again the party is reluctant because in the past two grand coalitions with the christian democrats in Christian Social Union they have seen a significant loss of support the fact is for the junior partner in a coalition with the chancellor it is not easy to maintain a real profile even if they do get some of their policies through so they will be looking for something thats big and visible to come out of coalition to go she ations and if it doesnt happen that i think the walk away and martin chills may very clear hes going to take his time to make sure those concessions are achieved how much time do you think its likely to take for germany to form a government its really pure speculation. As theyre saying it could take as long as into next february or march and what about the concerns melinda that germany is not stable right now is that still business as usual under this a caretaker government. Heres the thing and this is very very important particularly for policy for Foreign Policy the government is stable yes it is conducting business but it is not in a position to take any kind of decisive policy steps and there is one area of particular concern in my view and thats europe we have dramatic proposals for a Forward Movement in europe from french president a man we call he has very much targeted and shaped those proposals to bring germany on board and hes waiting for an answer from berlin the window that that is open now for that kind of Forward Movement will not remain open indefinitely so we need a German Government in there to move forward on that and other issues he might be waiting for some time to come our idea of these chief Political Correspondent melinda crane for us thank you melinda. Now pope francis has asked for forgiveness from rome hinge on muslims for the indifference of the world the head of the Catholic Church met with a small group of refugees during his tour of bangladesh he held hands with them as he listened to their stories these were his or just a few of the more than six hundred thousand to have reached the country after fleeing their homes in me in march the United Nations has described their persecution as ethnic cleansing. Earlier pope francis have praised bangladesh for giving shelter to a range of refugees and called for Decisive Action to end the humanitarian crisis his visit though was aimed at reaching catholics in the capital dhaka he led an open air mass for a crowd of tens of thousands. Even though catholics make up less than one percent of the population it felt like most of them had turned up here during mass the pope ordained sixteen new bangladeshi priests thats a sign of the relative freedom the church enjoys here but this freedom cant be taken for granted christians are often persecuted in this region which is why for fear of their safety francis has walked a diplomatic tight rope over a growing humanitarian crisis more than half a Million People have fled here to escape persecution in neighboring myanmar these range of muslims arent even recognized in that country forcing the pope to balance diplomatic niceties with his moral imperative. On thursday after meeting bangladeshs president used his sharpest language yet on this trip and avoided identifying the ranger by name. Its imperative that the International Community takes decisive measures to address risk grave crisis not only by working to resolve political issues have led to this must displacement of people but also by offering immediate material assistance to bangladesh in its efforts to respond effectively to urgence human needs. From serious isnt shared jewel to visit this refugee camp close to the Myanmar Border but nonetheless the focal point of his trip is a meeting with a range of delegation in dhaka. We have good of you south asia expert sandra pages men with us she just returned from reporting in bangladesh hi sandra the pope is now used the word for the first time how significant is that i mean if you look at the quote he literally said that the presence of god today is also called i think thats quite a strong statement to make and its acknowledging their presence as a people as an ethnic minority which he didnt do while he was in my and more he steered away from anything that was even coming close to the r. Word but now in bangladesh i think to the very end of this very emotional meeting where he listened to the story of some selected ranges he decided to make that point what more do we know about this group of riches that he met from what we know is that it was a selected group of sixteen amongst them women and children as well and they came from by the kali cam most of them and kali is where most of the new arrivals are put its rapidly sprawling campus which is kind of growing together with to prolong which is the more well known camp for you. Refugees and what we see now is that these two camps because of the rapid influx are literally growing together its right next to a nature. Reserve and the nature reserve as we go along with day and day and day is literally chopped down you know because nature needs to needs to move because new refugees are coming into the country and we still see an influx of a couple of hundreds every day and you actually visited some of these refugee camps how do you describe what you saw i mean its People Living in little bamboo shacks sheltered with tarps tarpaulin and what you see in terms of lets just look at the conditions thats quite terrible you know you see people drilling for wells right next to let. You see a lot of open deaf occasion in the camps because there is simply not enough toilets and then the water gets contaminated the water samples we heard the vast majority is contaminated with e. Coli bacteria we already see cases of acute watery diarrhea inside the camp and of course there is the big fear that we will see cases of cholera or maybe a cholera epidemic we see measles spreading rapidly amongst the children and children are the majority of refugees over fifty percent of the people were talking about are children below the age of eighteen there was an agreement struck this past month between me and my own british to allow someone to return home to those people you spoke with do they want to go home i think deep down in their heart they want to because Rakhine State where most of them are coming from is the only home they know but then you know we spoke to refugees and especially this one woman barely eighteen year old heavily pregnant about to give birth im sure she has done so by now she told me i rather not then to go back there she was so terrified she had a huge gaping wound on her forehead because as she was fleeing hold her burning village she hit a bumble plant and it was just piercing inside her forehead it was you know past leaking our to because she hadnt received any treatment yet heavily pregnant as she was very exhausted so i think very consistent stories we could hear inside the camps of atrocities happening though my own marise military is denying most of it already have you sunder pictures none with us from the studio thank you for sharing those stories with us. Now to some other news making headlines around the world Argentinas Navy says it has given up all hope that the forty four man crew of a missing submarine will be found alive efforts to locate the vessel will continue in the ocean off argentinas coast it is believed an explosion on board caused the submarine to sink more than two weeks ago riot police in honduras have clashed with supporters of the main opposition candidate in the president ial election after he accused the Electoral Court of fraud delays in releasing results from sundays election have raised suspicions of vote manipulation with ninety three percent of ballots counted the incumbent president won orlando and this holds a slim lead. A panel chaired by japans Prime Minister shinzo abi has agreed no date for the countrys emperor to abdicate akihito will step down on april thirtieth two thousand and nineteen with his eldest son crown prince not to he to taking the throne it is the first abdication in nearly two centuries hito is eighty three and in poor health. Now european and African Leaders meeting in the ivory coast have drawn up an emergency plan in response to the shocking reports of slavery auctions in libya these emergency measures will see the evacuation of nearly four thousand people stranded there but the African Union says there could actually be as many as seven hundred thousand migrants trapped in libya a good number of them at the mercy of the highest better. French president among them mark who led the way by saying that migrants should be hauled to leave libya as quickly as possible delegates from the african and European Union summit in our very coast agreed on an action plan and a crisis meeting on the sidelines of the summit it involves increased spending im setting up a task force to facilitate the rapid repack creation of migrants. Next year the stimulus we must act quickly we must evacuate those who are willing to help them get back to their home countries. Mccall was talking about people like adam from ivory coast adam was abducted on his way to europe by people traffickers in libya and sold on many times you know often we dont see ms and. They look at us and a house which up and then someone gave me a telephone to call my mother he took a knife and cut my leg. While i was screaming he kept shouting i want money i want money cut my leg again and again while i cried cause he pleaded with us. In the end adams family paid a ransom of five hundred fifty euros. Two weeks ago he was flown back to ivory coast by the International Organization for migration. The Organization Plays a central role in the new action plan it is tasked with bringing the migrants home but according to regional director might be an ashram many parts of libya are too dangerous for her workers without the help of the military. Who may have. Detention facilities around by the Libyan Government in the north of course it remains challenging security is still a difficult issue even in those areas. The logistics of these of these operations are quite quite complex however participants in the summit have promised to start implementing parts of the action plan in the coming days according to mr faqih chairperson of the African UnionCommission Thousands of my brits and libya have already been identified. That there is no we havent convinced our International Partners in europe and the United Nations to repatriate three thousand eight hundred people immediately with the help of the task force. But you always did when you saw. Libya is the only issue delegates were able to agree on there was no resolution on what was meant to be the main goal of the summit developing a new strategy to help africas youth expectations have been high but it seems africas most vulnerable have been left out in the cold. All right ben is here now were looking at the question is a Property Price bubble developing here in berlin and then we did some reporting here on this over the summer and there were a lot of interest from Foreign Investors coming in and buying up tens if you know dozens of apartments at a time and other people left to sit in forty square meter pop and they could be kicked out soon i mean theyll be a lot of happy people if a bubble does burst here but a lot of very unhappy and best as i have to say but who does a city actually belong to the citizens well for many living in this city has become unaffordable Property Prices have been rising for years in many big cities thats why investors buy logic pop and blocks and sell off the single units for a higher price its a great deal less so for tenants many of driven out of their homes as they cant pay the higher rents we took a look at the situation in berlin. Every candidate in berlin every tenant if youre paying rent youre at risk. If you can theres no right that guarantees everyone can live in city centers. Of course the city must be there for those who live and work in it but otherwise itll stop being a city of. Who does the city belong to and who can afford to live in it a common topic among berliners in the working class quite spec district many residents live on modest incomes so theyre upset about the current push towards modernization which could end up doubling their rents but thats the plan for real estate firms like phoenix play house the tenants so they can really rent flats or sell them. The companies dont like to be named and shamed the shareholders dont like it. The government and the senate who are doing nothing about this need our votes and we need to shout more to them about doing something about it to the mix. In the city. When investors are lured by internet ads if you realize that others are losing their homes and
