Holland and well welcome to you im a bit touchy margaret to have your company. Nearly four months off until new general election political leaders have agreed to enter a full month Coalition Talks. And social democratic leader Martin Schultz announce a breakthrough after all night talks and it means the country has come one step closer to having a new government but it doesnt mean the deal is single political leaders must now convince their bodies to give the green light to form a Coalition Negotiations it was a Long Time Coming including a twenty four hour marathon session last night now theres an agreement on paper but with some rough edges the three parties are working from very different platforms and promises to constituents tired but proud the three party has announced a successful outcome and some compromises they say they can imagine working together in a grand coalition. I think this document is the result of some give and take and thats the way it should be in a society filled with such a wide variety of people and will have our work set out for us when a new government is formed and we set out to put it into practice but the onus is on this man as p. D. Party chairman Martin Schultz is under pressure after the election he said he did not want to enter another grand coalition but now he has to convince his party to do just that. We have three goals. Solidarity we want to organize. Innovations that will take us forward and trust in each other. That is essential in a government. Guys that. We want to see if the spirit of cooperation was there and i think the answer is positive on the americal is under pressure as well because for over three months germany has been functioning without a new government she wants to see germany active on the european stage once again europe is a focus of the partys new blueprint for talks and the conservative partys Advisory Board stands behind this negotiation result but things look different with the social democrats six of forty members on the Party Executive board voted against moving forward with Coalition Talks there are fears about how the party base will react. I think we are on the right path but we have to be careful to remember this one just work out automatically. The twenty eight page document is up against heavy criticism from the opposition just as expected. To an ambitious to lead this country into the future there is no answer to Digital Change no flexibility in the Pension System on the contrary it seems to do injustice to future generations very expensive measures in a grand. Chancellor merkel wished success to the leader of her would be Coalition Partner the s. P. D. Now its up to Martine Schultz to convince everyone at the Party Conference and get the Party Members to vote with the yes if all goes well germany could have a new government by early spring. And the deadliest Political Correspondent is across that story he joins me now from bottom interest to do is tell us of these negotiations were really really tough so is the difficult part now oval office with these talks still collapse when formal Coalition Negotiations get underway. This was certainly emerita the first hurdle in a very long process if germany is going to have a new version of the grand coalition as we heard in that report now the big hurdle that comes next is in the hands of Martin Scholz he has to convince his Party Delegates next week sunday the twenty first in born to accept those formal negotiations only then will he be able to join the conservatives in those formal negotiations that could probably take longer than these exploratory talks that weve had so far and afterwards if they do manage to have those formal negotiations and to conclude them then all the s. P. D. Members still have to vote to accept the formal agreement so it is certain we can clearly say this was only the first hurdle there are still many more hurdles along the way and it is by no means certain although certainly was a positive move today that germany will have another grand coalition so how do people feel about these latest developments given that elections actually took place back in september well the uncertainty around this lack of new government is something that is certainly felt among among germans germans are clearly concerned about the country not having a new governing coalition and thats something that we saw for example when dodger vella team was sent to the streets to see how people thought about this breakthrough lets lets have a look at what people had to say. I think it would be good to have a grand coalition soon the one we had in the last few years wasnt bad and its better than your election thats too expensive and im just glad that its finally over that they could reach an agreement to get it and in general im not so keen on the Ground Coalition i wasnt very impressed with the last one i think people who voted s. P. D. Have specific hopes that the s. P. D. Cant fulfil in a coalition with the c. D. U. To do would. Work. Its a lot better than your elections. Its good that they are finally building a government. Britain germany still needs to be a stabilizing force in europe sol that if they manage to resolve their interior conflicts and find out ways to Work Together be a good thing for everyone especially in Current Situation euro. So that if a mixed reaction there told us to do the leaders when they could face the journalist they give a kind of upbeat. Feeling that they felt that that they work out of pretty close to forming starting formal negotiations but as you mention this still have to get their partys backing especially the s. P. D. Difficult will that be especially for the s. P. D. It will be very difficult it is certainly the case that many in the social democrats in particular the youth branch the socalled users are against a new version of the grand coalition they believe a new version of the grand coalition with only tarnished the profile that the s. P. D. Should have and in fact they have supported what might insurers had said right after the election in september namely that they were that they shouldnt join a new grand coalition they should instead be in the opposition something that their users the youth branches particularly worried about the prospect of a new grand coalition is that if such a case were to happen then the alternative for germany the populist party described as right wing would be the major force in the opposition so there are certainly many people within the social democrats that are very concerned about the prospect of a new grand coalition right thomas parel a long road ahead for the formation of a new government thank you very much for that assessment. Done in joins me now on a loop on reaction to the want of business after the start of the agreement and green went on to start a new Coalition Talks and thats right lukewarm is the right word some are happy some waiting for more really now if youre a domestic focus Business Owner theres some good news in there tax to help eastern german states dating back to the ninetys will be cut that should help drive consumer demand as could Infrastructure Investment the very fact that a new government could be on the horizon is relief but exporters and multinationals are taking a pretty dim view of the talks outcome. Most business representatives and economists seem to think its all been much ado about nothing responses to the outcome of the c. D. U. C. S. U. S. P. D. Exploratory talks on a new coalition with decidedly low key German Chamber of commerce president erics writer was disappointed he said this willingness to enter into workable compromise a still fails to adequately address important future issues in many areas theres still no into competitive tax reform there is frustration that although taxes here wont be raised they also wont be cut for business while countries like the u. S. France and britain have all pledged Corporate Tax cut. Exporters Association President hold a big man said the result is not forward looking and is anything but a fresh start. Others had also hoped for more ideas and bounce when it comes to digitalisation they say the results are all very middle of the road. I think its not a big breakthrough but its going to its going to support the the current strength of the German Economy it has all the right ingredients were going to get a bit of tax relief were going to get more investment in digitalization in education so it will not make germany the year the big reform or structural reform wall champion or european champion but it will help to continue the current strength of the economy put briefly it may not be a groundbreaking agreement but it is full of honorable intentions which certainly wont harm anyone in the current economic climate. An actual correspondent daniel corp has been tracking the investor reaction from the frankfurt stock exchange. Well investors i guess you can say that are divided some of them of course relieved that those preclusion talks didnt fail as they did last time some are also rather disappointed because they are not really thinking that too much will be changing in the next four years some of them really have called for change also for example regarding to the tax system that we have here in germany at the moment many are saying that in order to be more competitive there really needs to be reform remember that the Corporate Tax just recently was cut down by donald trump in the United States to a level of just twenty per cent also we received a statement from the president of the German Institute saying that he is rather disappointed because he is not seeing any changers regarding the income tax as well so yes some are relieved but others also a little bit disappointed because they were actually hoping for more changes. In frankfurt and the Small Business coming up a later and its all smooth sailing for britains luxury boat business that and more puns coming up later now its back over to rita thank you daniel now u. S. President done from this disputed reports about his alleged use of vulgar language insulting countries like haiti as salvador and several african nations its claimed that lawmakers in advises quote why are we having all these people from s. Dot dot dot countries come here he reportedly suggested accepting immigrants from places like norway instead the Washington Post was the first to report on the alleged comments citing sources with direct knowledge of talks with the president on immigration trump tweeted that was not the language used but admitted to using tough words for more of the fallout from the latest scandal be joined by the washington correspondent cast and a former nominee. Welcome costner is facing accusations of racism on a day when he was actually set on a civil rights leader Martin Luther king jr how is the white house reacting to the prison. Not much really donald trump didnt questions of reporters about those particular commons during that event but as weve seen he sent out this tweet denying that he used those exact words however one of the leading members of the Democratic Party senator dick durbin who was in the room when trump said to have made those comments he confirmed that trump used those words and other people who were also involved also have confirmed so once again we see donald trump living in his own reality or at least feeding his own version of the reality to the public if donald trump likes to face any consequences over this latest gaffe not this one diplomat has kind of been his resignation. Yes but this particular diplomat the u. S. Ambassador to panama didnt explicitly mention this particular case he just said that he could not serve this president anymore and cited personal reasons also it could be that this was the last straw for that bastard but we dont know that to be honest now i dont believe there will be any immediate direct fall outs from this because President Trump has lowered the bar of expectations for what should be normal president ial in the way that many people who just shrug and say ok thats thats the on the trump rate is only the latest outrage in a whole series of outrageous that would be more to come im very sure about that just wait for the next tweet indirectly this might weaken his position in the discussions about its reform of immigration and Border Security because the democrats of course would be much more reluctant to compromise with him and the republicans and trump might be forced to accept a deal more on the democrats terms in the current climate and dead again could anger trumps base which is strongly and she immigrants and there has been quite a backlash to this comment in some of the countries concerned bodies in washington that trump is putting the u. S. International soft power at this. Well it certainly doesnt help when the president insults other countries or other peoples on a regular basis just to give you one example the haiti was one of the very few countries that supported the United States in the Un General Assembly when it was criticized for trumps decision to move the us embassy to israel to jerusalem instead of to love the youve the question is whether countries like haiti would do that again the next time rolls cotton phenomenon in washington thank you very much. Donald trump is due to undergo his first medical checkup as president today as allegations of this physical and Mental Health abound the white house says a result of the health check will be made public he has more slurred words at the end of a major speech in december United Church thank you very much feels a flurry of speculation about Donald Trumps health. Trumps the oldest person to become president in American History he was seventy when he was sworn into office he doesnt drink or smoke but he makes no secret of his love for fast food. Or his aversion to the more rigorous forms of spores. He uses a cart for golf and once said that his main source of exercise comes from moving his hands during his speeches so how does the president shape up problem and the tremendous from a letter written by trumps doctor during the president ial campaign showed he was overweight and on medication to control his cholesterol but proclaimed him to be in excellent physical health. Fast forward sixteen months and hes dealing with the pressures of arguably the most demanding job in the world questions have existed from the beginning of a term psychological and intellectual competence for the role of president just days ago he came under fire for seeming to forget the words of the u. S. National anthem. And a bombshell book released last week claims that most of his staff and advisers think hes mentally unwell trump it back with one of the twitter bursts hes famous for. Assuring the world hes a very stable genius. And allies leapt to his defense but now im not there seven days a week but im there once a week and im there for a day with white house meetings are read and no one questions the stability of the president the white house says todays medical check will be purely physical but the debate about trumps Mental Health is sure to rage on.
