The crocodile is promising zimbabweans a new era of democracy hopes are high but changed with real doubts about what lies ahead. More lets cross over to harare were our correspondent christine is standing by for us good morning christine zimbabwes getting a new president today for the first time in thirty seven years give us a sense of what this means for the people of zimbabwe sorry i can hardly deliver to you in woods the excitement that people off feeling. You know along with the Economic Hardship the the policy that the struggle that people have been going through mugabes time in office also turned into a dictatorship that became a police state essentially that people were no longer able to express themselves they were no longer able to voice their opinions about how they really felt about the politicians more especially the president and now there is a sense of freedom that has come with this new president you would see that you know on the days that the military took over you had soldiers posted in different parts of the capital how to civilians going to those soldiers taking selfies these are things that zimbabweans have not been able to do to talk to people in any position of authority because of a feel for these people so there is a lot of excitement about in this and not well being sworn in today of course a lot of people in this country and you have another one president such a sense and to be inaugurating and while coming in and now the president thats unknown is symbolic for a lot of people in this country a lot of excitement and huge expectations it must be said cristina zimbabweans are obviously hoping that the new president will lead the country toward a Better Future how is women gaga managing those expectations. So terry the president of the president designate is saying all the right things when he addressed his supporters for the First Time Since returning to the country and he talked about the fact that he was going to make a put a focus on on getting this economy going again that in this country more than eighty percent of people are unemployed most of those are young people this is a very Young Country terry he talks about jobs that he sets it to the to the crowd that day that he had already been in touch with with regional neighbors as well as International Governments who have expressed their interest in wanting to grow and improve and support the zimbabwean economy and thats the language that people here one see here i mean this is a country where graduates leave university and face the prospect of selling tomatoes on the side of the road because there was just no wood private sector is virtually nonexistent government is the biggest employer and it even struggles to to pay salaries so he struck a chord when he told people that he was going to get this economy going again and thats what the people of zimbabweans want suggesting by his words terry and hes saying all the right things whether or not hell deliver remains to be seen a big day in zimbabwe the deadliest christine while theyre reporting from harare were told for the talking to you in a little while again christine thank you for now here in germany the president is pressuring the social democrats to reconsider whether or not to join a Coalition Government with chancellor im going to michael and her conservative party thats pretty leader Martin Schultz has so far ruled it out but other leading social democrats say theyre open to dialogue they say the party has a duty to the nation to help and the deadlock the man of the moment a speedy lead a modern chilled surviving for his meeting with the german president from cultish time mild reportedly pressed a social democrat to reconsider forming another grand coalition with those conservatives off of the meeting however no indications of an outcome minded in the days addressed protesting employees of tech giant the moans. While there he hinted at what he thought of angular marcos conservatives. Mrs merkel and mr as a whole fuckin address seamans directly if they dont they may have a different opinion to mine. An opinion schultz is afraid will be drowned out in a grand coalition but within the s. P. D. Itself there are other voices emerging the media the. Ones that if we have the right ideas and can really implement. It in the grand coalition is the better option for germany. But with shultz as party Leader Coalition talks seem difficult hed rejected the idea the night that parliamentary Election Results became known rumors that he will step down as party chief have now been rubbished. The other parties couldnt form this Jamaican Coalition and now you ask if Martin Schultz will remain party leader they need to answer for their actions fast. Later in the evening s. P. D. Members met at their headquarters in between the long deliberations a brief update for the press. Has not flocking to discuss the meeting between martin short and president. We need some time to analyze that and. We cant solve in a few hours what others have taken two months to mess up. Its a tough choice for the s. P. D. Take political responsibility or chart a new course. Warner lets talk to political analyst and journalist about a son of a hes with us here in the studio this morning good morning donna good morning the pressure its on the s. P. D. Right now to reconsider its position about forming a government with the conservatives and chancellor merkel how divided is the party on this issue the party is very much divided debate is absolutely against a new grand coalition at least most of them but the Party Leadership is meeting way into the night as you just saw and they have not made a Firm Decision but because its pretty clear that they want to go towards a new grand coalition now earlier in the week come out in shoals of the partys leader who we just saw behind you in there there in that picture he said the social democrats would not be joining a grand coalition they would prefer fresh elections to that he pushed that through as a Party Decision and it was announced earlier in the week if the s. P. D. Turns around on that one it damaged that credit their credibility definitely it will damage their credibility specially as i said at the party base but nevertheless only twenty four hours after the made this very Firm Decision this position started to crumble and now there you hear more and more voices here in berlin among the s. P. D. Leadership to move to move towards a new grand coalition Martin Schulz the leader of the social democrats a former president of the European Parliament he was the social democrats chancellor candidate in the election and in the end the party got a very poor showing in that election some say he should step down do you think he will i think he will the party will have a convention in two weeks time and my guess is my educated guess is that we will see a new leader then now there there is a lot of discussion going on right now about how will germany get a new government its been two months since the last election within. The s. P. D. Some are now talking about a completely different coalition one involving chancellor x. Conservatives the social democrats and maybe the greens what do you make of that i think is very unlikely it doesnt really make sense. A grand coalition with the us but you would have a clear majority and not as big as it used to be but big enough and it doesnt make sense to us interesting i was at an event where it was last night and she talked about a minority government at least she did not rule it out i thought that was interesting but i still think its moving towards that renewal of grand coalition on a minority government would be something new for germany it must be said german president. He is now the man of the hour hes talking to all the parties saying go back to the negotiating table reconsider your positions try to give germany a functioning stable government what options does he have at this point well he is the monster of the promises but in reality the parties have to decide what that will do and what he wants to avoid at all cost is fresh elections and there is no at the time. For that chancellor merkel you mentioned seeing her last night today shes in brussels she has European Council meeting shes meeting with other european leaders and leaders from Eastern Europe as well what is her status at those talks in brussels now that germany is most z. Hopeful media reports suggest its the hope that would stand down as state premier and head over to his rival the very end finance minister marcus zero to see him there and after a meeting of senior you see as you members say hope has said no decisions have been made as of yet Party Officials say the future leadership will be decided at a Party Conference in december. Now lets take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today several hundred Asylum Seekers who have refused to leave an australian run Detention Center on monist island in Papua New Guinea have been a victim from the facility one of the Asylum Seekers posted video showing authorities violently clearing people out some former detainees claim they were beaten with sticks.

Well here we are just a month before christmas and that means its crunch time for retailers crystal crucial weeks indeed to terry and the United States friday after thanksgiving or black friday officially kicks off the shopping spree now the Philadelphia Police calling the phrase black friday back in the nine hundred sixty s. When friday after thanksgiving sales create a traffic jams and drew so many on really shoppers that it darkened their workday and much of the hype has prevailed in new york city macys started its black friday discounts a day early as a lot of shoppers rushed into the Department Store on thursday night many retailers have started the Holiday Shopping season thursday to boost customer traffic and sales. Are retailers in germany you may be interested to know have created their own version of black friday but it is a hard sell many consumers believe its just another trick to make and normal sale and often it is heres more. That may not be tense out on the german high streets but theres definitely a black friday bug in the retailers even have black week at the tightening seven days of rock bottom prices opinion on the street is mixed. With them i like discounts on Electronics Im happy to join. The government. Theres no point. People who buy things whether theyre cheaper now or not it has. Taken this on from america and its. The internet is also awash with special offers experts predict additional sales of one point one billion euros on friday in germany alone. As a beginner from all stars thats an average of a hundred and seventy per person on friday and on cyber monday another one hundred twenty five. Thats a big incentive for retailers especially in electronics opportunity twenty eight hundred. But shop with caution say Consumer Protection groups not every discount is a bargain. Dramatic price cuts of forty fifty or even eighty percent might be too good to be true. Keep a cool head do some research and question of use Price Comparison websites to check if its really a good offer and whether or not to go for it. In a sample test only half the products were genuine bargains a quarter of them were listed at market value and for the rest shoppers paid more than they would have elsewhere.

Very no theres a lot of uncertainty and insecurity this is about livelihoods and families consider that the plant life hes going to be shut down completely under where theres very little other Economic Activity people are horrified and scared. Its an especially bitter pill to swallow just weeks after seaman posted every quarter profits of over six billion euros. The company says it has to respond to changing Market Conditions he. Overall well its stable. Condition and i mean it seems like a contradiction but posting profit in the areas of growth we have many of those but in areas where the market is being weve structured and were seeing lots of action is needed. As more country think rates when you pull energy the demand for gas turbines has fallen dramatically thats put the Companies Power and gas division under pressure on prices of jobs on the line. Trade unions and even some politicians have called on siemens to rethink its decision they say the company has a responsibility to its workers even when times get tough.
