correspondent jefferson chase who's outside the green party headquarters hello to you jefferson so if these talks do fail just how damaging would that be for uncle americal. well mariana that would be like sort of the worst case scenario. if these talks were to fail right now there would be very little option other than for germany to hold another election and it would be very very difficult to see how malcolm could remain in office where that to happen now that said we're a long way from the worst case scenario all of the parties involved in these talks have a vested interest in seeing that they succeed because fresh elections would basically they would only help the far right populous none of the mainstream parties that are involved talking in the building behind me really want to see that happen well it's been weeks now since these parties have been in negotiations but at the same time one has to remember you've got merkel's conservatives in talks with the market liberal f.d.p. the left leaning green party they all have such different agendas and priorities is it realistic that the

are very far apart especially the conservative see as you party on the center left green party have completely opposite opinions on how to treat the family reunion of refugees the cs you don't want to have any family reunion and the more while the greens say this is a human right for that that's what applied to any refugee whatsoever. on the body is starting to lose faith in the idea of the spillway coalition. well it depends on who you listen to and if you listen to especially representatives of the smaller parties especially of the seas you on the greens the already mentioned two parties that are longer headed in the migration issue then. one could really lose some faith here because both parties always say it is needed to find a compromise every side costs to have the will to give in a little bit but what we hear from inside is that both sides are not willing to give in even in little inch so i think the biggest. problem here for chancellor angela merkel and her c.v. hugh party is to find some sort of agreement to find some sort of a bridge both parties can walk over one major de

hand the rather left wing green party that is the difference that has to be bridged and there's that difference has not yet been bridged those two parties still seem to be pretty much at loggerheads there still seem to be presenting each other's positions to each other without really moving any closer to each other during these talks a both the general secretaries of those parties were speaking publicly earlier today and in both cases there was no sign of movement at the moment and these discussions have been going on for four weeks now why is this taking so long what are the major sticking points here. well it's taking so long because there is such a wide gap to be bridged there's an unprecedented in german national politics that it's this kind of spectrum of political parties from quite conservative to quite a left wing it's trying to form a government. really there are two issues that. at which on which they cannot agree at the moment one is the refugee crisis the refugee issue the question of how many refugees should be in germany how many should be able to come to germany in the

a party convention here in berlin then and the party convention is about to vote on if the greens should stop with coalition talks with the c.d.u. c.s.u. and the f.t.p. i think this is the real deadline there so the talks could go on for another week and everybody knows there are no alternatives so it's not really a deadline talks continue but if these talks at some point do collapse there's a number of things that could happen let's take a look if the coalition talks between germany's union f.t.p. and green parties fail president stan maya will have to step in the german president would nominate merkel as chancellor sent 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 . fresh elections a possible outcome which of these do you think is most likely. a minority government for instance would be a pre

remarks clearly aimed at germany's green party is a hoffa c.s.u. in the greens are at loggerheads on many key issues including migration and energy policy. but what we can't allow is that someone says i want discussed that you know everyone has to negotiate otherwise the talks don't make any sense in. the fourth player in the negotiations germany's liberal f.d.p. are also set on a positive outcome he's a consulate's a new coalition at a federal level in germany could mean a new beginning in terms of policy. and we hope very much as free democrats that the other parties are bold enough to try it and. the four parties had hoped to have already finished with negotiations but with one self-imposed deadline now missed many expect there to be moved long nights ahead. let's get more now on these negotiations we're joined in the studio by political scientist christophe when he joins us here in the studio as i mentioned you're from the free university in berlin and thanks for being here thank you for having me. what would you say why is this been so complic

should be able in theory to form a government where major compromise on the table even the green party was willing to accept some kind of compromise on migration and went towards the border or the so-called back end so that the right c.s.u. had put on the table i believe that they could have formed a government if they want to do that over grounds of an opera limit on the number of refugees that germany would accept every year where do you see this going from now we mentioned that the german chancellor was with the president today talking about those next steps but what do you think is going to happen there for options now one of the also that the f.t.p. comes back to the negotiation table which seems very unlikely there's a grand coalition option still on the table bitch would be the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. . but also that seems unlikely because the s.p.d. has already the social democrats have already declined this option then the main options now are a minority government led by michael with the c.d.u. probably with the green party where they have to basically get votes or decide on po

the green party follow is at the biggest approval rates of marvels. immigration refugee politics nobody have been talking about maximum influx of refugees in germany but a few weeks after the election the c.d.u. and this yes you they had conversation on the limit of a limit of immigration not asylum seekers but immigration refugees of one of thousands of fear and of course that was a price too many green voters and now they have the big problem they have to solve that that. difficult situation but we have two parties or three parties the c.d.u. c.s.u. and the liberals fifty feet who say yes we want to control immigration we don't want that the present refugees in germany will be able to have their families coming to germany as well to reunite them and sort of the green party who says yes we do want refugees here in germany can also have their families coming to germany and of course there's a big problem within the question how can we form this coalition and this is one of the most important questions for green party followers because they say no we c

from ian thanks for that fab and fun to mock their reporting from the green party conference here. we're going to catch up with some of the other stories making the news around the world at the moment officials in georgia say at least eleven people have died in a fire at a luxury hotel on the black sea coast of the twenty one people were injured in the blaze and more than one hundred evacuees from the hotel and casino facilities in but to me authorities don't yet know what caused the fire. the libyan coast guard has intercepted more than six hundred migrants bound for europe most of them including women and children from sub-saharan africa. the united nations international organization for migration says more than thirty three thousand migrants have died in the mediterranean trying to reach europe since the year two thousand. russia's state nuclear company has set a scientific commission is to investigate reports of radioactive pollution of almost one thousand times above normal levels in the southern year olds the move comes despite russia's denial that an accident had occurred at

in germany ok five pm funny at the green party conference here in berlin many thanks. now authorities in russia say a scientific commission is to investigate reports of radioactive pollution almost one thousand times above normal levels in the southern urals the move comes despite russia's denial that a nuclear accident had occurred at any of its nuclear facilities to my arc reprocessing plant near the ural mountains it's been blamed for at least two of russia's biggest radioactive accidents many believe it may also be linked to a spike in radioactivity measured a few weeks ago. known as though deny this. there is no increased radiation levels are all within the range that's normal for this region this possible incident has nothing to do with our plant. with it. that stance would appear to be backed by some local residents we spoke to one journalist who's been monitoring the situation. we can't confirm or deny how high the levels of ruffini i'm on right now but we are convinced that nothing particularly dangerous has happened. but greenpeace says that's not the point l

party and between these two poles to find common ground that is going to last for a whole governing period for the next four years this is very difficult at the moment it seems that the sticking points are those that one expected would be difficult for the last seventy weeks and that is there if you're if you g. issue on the one hand and on the other hand issues of climate change and climate control all right so for the moment the talks are being extended and yet what if the parties are simply not able to reach an agreement what will happen to uncle americal then. well if they aren't able to reach an agreement then it's very likely that there will be new elections presumably in a couple of months time that's a fairly complicated process to set up in terms of the german constitution so it would take some time it would certainly be a major setback for engler marco who obviously has staked her continued chancellorship on these talks but it's also a setback oh pretty much all the parties would be a setback for pretty much all the parties involved in these talks nobody really is very int

the free democrats and the greens it was nicknamed due to the way each party's logo was colored that with merkel now struggling to find a way out our europe correspondent looks at the options that she's got left. the day after the bundestag election in september angola merkel said that she was confident that by christmas she would have a ruling coalition government in place or fast forward through weeks of torture a sit times negotiations with the green party and the pro-business free democrats while the wheels of that coalition health fell off well and truly with christie and lynn of the free democrats delivering the killer blow the every other one is we will not abandon our voters for a policy with which we are not convinced it is better not to govern than to govern badly ingrained differences between the parties on key issues such as climate change refugees and the budget saw the so-called jamaica coalition breakdown. one other option available to angela merkel would be to rule over a minority government most likely with the green party. but a minority government would be unstable

party thank you very much pleasure. keeping up with technological change can make or break companies good play studies fujifilm best known for producing cameras in film the digital camera destroyed the business in two thousand photographic films made up to sixty percent of the film's revenues now it's a mere one percent but what competitors like kodak filed for bankruptcy fujifilm branched out into pharmaceuticals and cosmetics these divisions now make up almost forty percent of the firm's turn of earlier asked forty films corporate vice president gomez arche how his firm survived the rapidly changing marketplace while rival kodak just went under well i think the most important part was that we had the courage to change and to you know even if it meant that you know because cash go was going to diminish we were able to you know face the fact and change the direction i think that's the first or the second point was that. first was the courage and the second point was that we feel really did did dig into our core competen

adapted to the idea that them like be a collision of the green party and the. democrats and i think that very many people in now after this long talk about john mica feel quite comfortable with this idea and it could be that if there was a new election people actively voted for as we call it black green fully agree that it's good oh. no a lot of people you have to would you have to understand it's quite simple a lot of people around. are almost in their d.n.a. that they want a black green coalition for many many conservative exactly even within the c.s. you you have that try to germans like to call the natural next government yeah that could very well happen. what the worst thing that could happen would be a minority government that would be extremely bad for germany it would be extremely bad for europe and for the rest of the world because a minority government would defend a government uncertainty and this is what europe cannot stand right now and therefore that would be the worst thing that could happen and i'm pretty sure it will not happen there's a real d

so we leader of the green party. as dimmy are going to down one time via ladies and gentlemen i'm one snuff diem's you can buy it in the end she didn't have time difficult election results we decided to take responsibility because this country is just really going in talks in a very difficult one constellation from the beginning we knew well that it just would not be easy neither for us nor for the others. we decided to make on try to make sure that this difficult coalition on the will stand in the we took weeks to negotiate with back and forth. try to convince others of our convictions and i'd like to say that the one we have gained a lot of understanding for one another does this one start and that is for us is it is this part of this responsibility to remain willing to talk until the end you know what to do we did that today he'll go on the evening we have been doing that for four weeks you also do that i will explicitly explicitly want to say this had to it's done to that couldn't i think this is on the. coalitio

from above area and the fairly left wing green party the c.s.u. wants to see the number of of refugees per year in germany capped at two hundred thousand and the green say they'll agree to that as a as a as a flexible target we'll see in a few hours whether that's enough to convince the conservatives to go along with them the other main issue is whether refugees family members will all be allowed to join them in this country again the greens say they won't but at the c.s.u. says no way they're in this building behind me right now trying to hammer out a compromise and they've said that we may and i stress the word may get an answer by six o'clock tonight all right we'll just have to wait and see we'll check in with you again jefferson chase reporting on the coalition talks many thanks indeed now to some of the other stories making news around the world and gerry adams has announced hundred standing down as leader of the irish republican and fame party he also says he will not stand for election to be irish parliament adams with a controversial figu

correspondent jefferson chace he's outside the green party offices here in berlin where the talks are about to get going this morning jefferson and it's good to see you it's the last day of these exploratory talks on forming a coalition and chancellor merkel still hasn't managed to form a government if these talks fail could this actually spend spell the end for her. well actually that would be the worst case scenario i mean if the talks break down completely then there's no possibility of forming a new government and then you'd be looking at fresh elections and it would be difficult to see how merkel could continue but i think that scenario is pretty is pretty unlikely none of the parties are interested in holding fresh elections that would only benefit the far right populists and basically this is the way the german system works it's not like in the us where one party wins the vote and then forms and forms the new government there's always a coalition and the talks always go along go on for a long time in the last in the last coalition where we only had three parties involved it too

party. but a minority government would be unstable at best and would certainly require horse trading on gargantuan proportions with the other four parties in parliament if the government was to well pass anything more than just time in the chamber it's also worth noting that this would be a first in modern german history and wouldn't exactly fit the profile of the german voters who do love stabile if he so where does this leave us the other option would be we go back to the polls for fresh elections. so back to the polls we go well step forward german president frank vaulted steinmeyer it's predominantly a ceremonial role but when it comes to installing a government that's where the german presidency has executive power it will be up to mr steinmeier whether he decides that he accepts angola merkel as the head of a minority government or whether he dissolves parliament triggering elections and for the long serving leader mrs merkel that could well prove to be a storm she doesn't whether that

correspondent jefferson chace he's outside the green party offices here in berlin where the talks are just getting started this morning jefferson it's good to see you it's supposed to be the final day of these talks to form a coalition and chancellor angela merkel still hasn't managed to form a government if these talks fail could this actually spell the end for her. well abbey that would be the worst case scenario i mean it is possible that if that if the talks don't get anywhere today they decide we simply can't form a coalition then there would probably be fresh elections and it would be very difficult to see how. america could stay on as chancellor under those circumstances however i don't think that's a very likely outcome i mean basically none of the parties involved in these talks have any interest whatsoever in having voters go back to the polls that would only help the fringe parties so there's considerable pressure on them. to get a deal done form a new government for germany there is considerable pressure but these parties that are involved span the political spectrum there

and the environment focused green party have been exploring the formation of what would be a rather unusual governing coalition party negotiators have been carefully examining each contentious issue to see if there's enough common ground for the parties to start for. negotiations but the differences between them are considerable take migration for example the conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. they want an upper limit on the number of refugees the greens oppose a limit the greens also want to permit nearly all refugees all war refugees to be joined by their family members climate the greens want to shut here's a talk about some of them is not the takeoff he's the former cochairman of the german greens and now a member of the european parliament thank you so much for coming in this morning good morning. did you ever imagine you'd see a day when the german conservatives the liberals and the greens would be negotiating a possible coalition federal level sure enough but for a long time we have always had a very clear message in that regard which was we're open to talk to all the democratic parties but
