of berlin everyone welcome to our c.t. use angela merkel has won but she has lost her junior coalition party on the way to her victory so what kind of choice is a kind of options issue facing now and how long will it take to form an actual government in germany well i think the most viable option for her is to enter another so-called grand coalition that is a coalition with the left of center social democrats this election has already been been dubbed as a validation to merkel's policies is this really the case or as critics say the electorate probably didn't have much of a choice that the electorate had a choice but the electorate had also a clear preference and the preference was to rally behind. her policies. it's quite interesting because the brand new party which is called i'll turn to for germany party almost got into parliament gaining four point seven percent of the vote just short of the five percent threshold what does it mean for us skepticism in germany well there is your skepticism all over europe but the inte

. >> professor at stanford university in berlin and california, and he joins us live from berlin. is chancellor merkle likely to get a morale-boosting win? >> well, the elections today are not about merkle, it's about the governor of bavaria and this is the party when the government decided to hold elections today and not next week, together with the national elections, they were hoping for a positive signal. and there is no doubt that the most conservative party of germany, bavaria will see it as the strongest party. >> so in other words, yes, she is likely to get or receive a very strong message from bavaria? positive? >> well, she will receive a strong message but as always the devil lies in the detail f bavaria will become too strong it will be difficult in the government off the elections next week to continue with the same policy as before. because then she will be confronted with very self confident conservative and somehow anti-european sentiments coming from bavaria. that's one of her problems. the other one is that the liberal party, the current junior partner in the gov

we are joined by a professor from the university of berlin. >> when it comes to the coalition with the the free democrats and angela merkel what would change? >> not a lot, just the nuances. the sdp could play the good cop and the christian democrats the bad cop when it comes to forcing the conditions to get the continued aid to the countries in the perifry. the german government will have to speak with one voice, but there'll be a possibility of having a broader spectrum instead of the harsh task master for europe. there'll be a kinder gent ler germany in the bagged. >> >> when it comes to german policy, there's talk of a minimum wage - anything else. >> two areas to look at is labour market policy. while the labour market reforms took place in 2003/2005 came under a leadership of the social democrats, they distanced themselves from their own reforms. there'll be a lot of serious talk about adjusting the parameters of this labour market reform. i see that as an area. the other area is federalism. the fact that social democrats have control of many more of the states gives the coalitio

the american university speech is hard to square with a speech in berlin, as the second speech in berlin. kennedy had many personalities. and he was able to rise to many different occasions, a lot of them contradictory. and make contradictory statements. ultimately, seems to me he would have thought that the success in the cuban missile crisis was because he followed a soft light. he followed thompson. he followed the blockade. he was very upset about military advice right straight through from the bay of pigs to the cuban missile crisis. admiral anderson, all these people, and he didn't want to trust military men on the spot, which clay sort of stands for. it was very clear all three of the people through the crisis tied the hands of everybody in the military, both in washington and abroad, so there was no checkpoint charlie's after that he didn't authorize from the white house. so i come away pleased that you reached the analysis you have, but i think it's probably overstated when it comes to the final john f. kennedy and what he really was actually. >> you've made so many comments, i
