and green parties fail president ston maya will have to step in the german president would nominate merkel as chancellor since her party the c.d.u. c.s.u. has the most parliamentary members parliamentarians with an vote on merkel as chancellor the president has two choices he either makes merkel the head of a minority government in which she has to continually look for new majorities. or he dissolves the german parliament thanks calls for new elections in two months . possibility of fresh elections in just two months ruber which of these outcomes do you think is most likely think both outcomes or something all the in both parties don't want to minority government would be something very new for germany at least on the federal level be seen it on the state level but here it will be have seen there is that all minority governments didn't last the whole election term and fresh elections none of the involved parties would benefit from this and they all know it so they are doomed to find an agreement and so i think there find some agreement till tonight till tomorrow night but the problem then

the business friendly f.t.p. and the pro environment green party i think exploring the formation of what would be a rather unusual governing coalition the bodies have been examining a raft of contentious issues and the differences between them among them are huge on migration the conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. wants an upper limit on refugee numbers which the greens of course they want to allow nearly all refugees to car for exams to be joined by family members on climate the parties are split on how to reduce german emissions the greens of want to shut down twenty cool fired power plants but that's opposed both why the c.d.u. c.s.u. and the f.t.p. turning then to agriculture conservatives and the f.t. against the greens call for ending industrial farming the greens want to freeze within twenty years and a greater emphasis put on organic farming and finally defense on the greens are alone in opposing greater military spending the conservative and the liberal f.t.p. want to increase a boon despairs budget in line with

german should take part of the c.d.u. part of the s.p.d. and part of the f.t.p. and found a new movement i don't think the established system of parties is working for germany anymore. what with her now uncertainty in germany many french analysts believe a man on the court will struggle to push through his european reforms. we already had something of a blockade before that's nothing new for. this new situation of uncertainty and the political crisis in germany will make it even harder to reform the eurozone and the e.u. . that is on the order nor. hear it keat themed bar in paris where shantel labour's french german group meets regularly some believe the crisis could also be an opportunity. perhaps the franker german alliance will now become a relationship of equals. america wants to move forward with europe she will need to listen to emanuel and his own party in the core. but right now tonsil america has more pressing issues relations with france and efforts to reform europe are on hold first she has to have a functioning government. while france and visions ar

friendly f.t.p. to the bavarian conservative arm of conservatives the differences are stark on issues especially for example on issues such as migration from what we've been hearing and i think that it is very likely that there will be some kind of compromise coming out of the talks tonight or maybe they are extending these talks into tomorrow but there will be some kind of compromise most likely because the stakes are just too high for the parties to not reach a conclusion and to let these talks fail surely just very briefly before we go if they fail what is that likely to mean for angela merkel and her party. very there could be a minority government more likely that they will call for a snap election so new elections and that would be how some negotiators have been saying really a contest for a fee for angela merkel she is a very skilled negotiator and if she lets those talks fail that would definitely weaken her position and could in the end we can have position as a possible chancellor so the pr

prompted the break up of those fogs the f.t.p.'s christiane linda met with the german president earlier today to discuss ways of ending the deadlock the co-chairs of the green party were also summoned to the presidential palace in berlin today you see the might there as backroom talks continue germans are split on what should happen next chancellor angela merkel says that she would rather run again in new elections then lead a minority government. at least the ushers in germany's parliament can stick to their regular routine they cordoned off areas for t.v. interviews and prepared for the upcoming session otherwise nothing here is business as usual when this type president falls gun show his concerns early starts good bye old state power comes from the people the people have spoken to us with these elections and now we must act in accordance on the responsibly. and. although the failed coalition talks weren't officially on the agenda i'm glad merkel was under close scrutiny which he tried to persuade the social democrat leader mart

the greens the socialist democratic party and the free democratic party or f.t.p. merkel since been trying to send a reassuring message to germany and the outside world is this talk it is at least a day of to perfection on how to go forward but i will do everything possible transitional chancellor to ensure that this country will be well led through these difficult weeks the pro-business f.t.p. had been part of coalition talks in september's elections fail to deliver a majority for any one party late on sunday they pulled out suggesting they simply couldn't offer any more compromises on issues such as clean energy and immigration as. we were conducting exploratory talks not forming a government at the end you decide whether to trust that the recent common vision and it it is. please come of this and for the countries that was missing merkel's former partners the socialist democrats or s.p.d. have consistently ruled out to being part of another so-called grand coalition since doing badly in september's vote now they're hoping for a snap election. we think it's impor
