the pressure off decided it would be the perfect time to try out the talents of an extremely famous jamaica. retired sprinting legend using bolt has never denied his love for the beautiful game. in fact he's long dreamed of becoming a player. and now with more time on his hands he's confident he has what it takes to make it. i think overall i'll give myself probably not that i think i was ok i did well it just takes practice knowing what you know more a good fit and i should be ok. bolt appeared to gel well with the door squads and even showed some promise in front of goal. but the left footed one hundred and two hundred meter world record holder is trying to kick start his footballing career at the ripe old age of thirty one which may go against him. as if he's not at an age where i'd say he can develop much but he can still improve some things he'd have to train with the team for a few weeks or months and then see how it works out but if he has a good understanding of the game. first it was really. encouraging words for bolt but no matter how well he develops his skills on the pitch the j

merkel to try and form a coalition government after the previous chances that she had with the so-called jamaica coalition collapsed if these new rounds also are not a success then germany will be confronted with a series of options one of them would be a minority government led by the conservatives or another option would be fresh elections and fresh elections is something that most parties that most politicians here in germany do not want to avoid oh sorry wanted to avoid so that's probably one of the reasons why all these different politicians here are trying to make an agreement even when they know that this will be an agreement that not necessarily everyone in the party rank and file would follow. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world scuffles are broken out between police and protesters during a rally in the tunisian capital today eight hundred people have been arrested in the country this week while demonstrating against tax increases and new austerity measures demonstrators demanding an end to the measures which the government says are necessary

so-called jamaica parties so the christian democrats with the green party and the liberals and we've seen the social aspects nearly didn't take place in this draft treaty so. i think. we have to make that very clear because germany is a very strong country it has a strong economy but there are so many people that don't participate from the wealth and in the process and that is our challenge to to really make life better for them to you know. the justice minister in the next a cabinet under the michel thank you very much for the interview thank you. thank you and without back to the studio ok michelle thanks very much katrina barly there the incoming justice minister for the new coalition a member of the social democrats she was pointing out how the social democrats are different from the christian democrats how are they different at this point if they're going to work in coalition to achieve what they've laid down in their agreement and i have to come back to what i said earlier that they're going to try and square the circle it is going to be tremendously difficult but you know they

understandably reluctant i think to joining another coalition with the problem is when these so-called jamaica coalition talks broke down the only remaining realistic option is this grand coalition between the social democrats and the conservatives so the social democrats have been called upon to put the nation before party as they've done many times in the past the interesting thing by the way it puts them in quite a good position to draw. hard bargain ok the nation before party. aspect is very important for the social democrats isn't it you know what's going to prove crucial for these two talks martin schultz has gone into them sounding very optimistic what has to happen to prevent them from failing well the key thing or what i would call the elephant in the room well actually not in the room is the s.p.d. rank and file that the grassroots support of the social democrats they have particularly wrote reluctant about a fresh grand coalition with the. with the chancellor merkel on january the twenty first there's a special s.p.d. party conference which will be looking at the results of the expl

into a university so democracy justice and economic reforms these are the major promises missed in jamaica's during his campaign but talking about economic reform the economy is a big issue in the upcoming election this as a turkish guard and say the leader has lost more than twenty percent of its value against the dollar and the euro since the start of the let's let's have a listen to what you had to say about the economy turkey is now a free market economy and you can bring your money but the government is considering. any investor come in the current situation even turkish investors don't invest money in turkey. they all move their capital elsewhere. you can't regulate the economy with policing measures when we get elected we will solve these problems in three months by working with experts and applying universal principles and laws. so yes a specific message for his supporters but you know what head of inches john says against president john in next month's election. well the economic situation here is definitely a huge topic for many people but there is not going to be an easy solution

when we saw the collapse of the jamaica coalition the first coalition that the chancellor tried to build something or other parties with a prob with the business friendly f.t.p. and and the german greens that would have been a first in german history and then it collapsed and some people are saying maybe it just doesn't work anymore because the because people need clear on from traditional parties that they sconce census building in these times is not something it's something where the parties risk losing their own identity and this is why some people are saying that cost and lindt now the head of the f.t.p. the pro-business party pulled out of these talks he said we can't make a compromise to an extent that we lose our own identities so this is something that the s.p.d. was also very afraid of in these coalition talks which is why they had to have so many concessions from the conservatives and i think with these three ministries they are getting a bit closer to being able to sell this new deal this new grand coalition to their party members but it's still far from clear whether they'll

and they did do it is and it's right the story that yes jamaica has never had a team of course remember the male team in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight in the calgary flames inspired the film cool runnings and the jamaican women they were set to debut today but they've had a bit of a rout with the lady there on the right systems or curiosus from the both. arguments for the ball play federation she's threatening to take away the flight so it's all up in the air at the moment hopefully they will still be able to take healthy and good luck to them jonathan crean for most bosses thank you very much for being us all of the action from young child. away from sport on awareness of sexual violence in harrison to women is being filmed at butlins and your film festival the billy nona begins tonight it's the first international festival to take place since the flood of allegations of rape and sexual misconduct were made against the film producer harvey weinstein and other big hollywood names. and your call has sent this report. where the red carpet will be it still looks like a building si

will be hoping the home side can sure about the mighty bavarians and is certainly a youngster from jamaica could be just the player to cause an upset. he's only twenty but his career is taking off fast bailey has joined the young guns of laver cousin after a slow start with the club his speed and his goals have made the jamaican one of their most standout players. since of the nights in his short appearances it wasn't like everyone was shouting at her ray but he didn't give up which is a really important quality he kept believing in his chance and worked on it he was always a total team player who puts himself at the service of the team in spite of all the public attention he gets. in these dozen thoughts and he needs them tough stand. still the winger from kingston hasn't had an easy path to the world's top leagues as a teenager bailey played in four different to european countries. that was after leaving his homeland with two friends at the tender age of thirteen. we didn't have so much money we had a budget sometimes would have to. be just. because we had a dream from we were very young

right now and that vulnerability is taken on by the people you know you see the same thing happening in jamaica which is second for g.d.p. to debt ratio in the caribbean at a distant second but still second place you see it in the british virgin islands you see it in bermuda the cayman islands you know so instability has become a part of the political and social landscape and i think that people are doing the best they can to cope you know prime minister motley rallied people they said you know our grandfathers and our forefathers went through worse and we're going to pull together to get through this but talking about the rich i thought the panama papers was trying to help clarify the situation and get things back on track i believe that the panama papers brought the issue to the world stage you know to shine to close relied on the financial institutions based in caribbean countries but what you have to understand is that business will go on as usual as per usual you know so while barbados may be under closer scrutiny by the e.u. by the us by international bodies it still has to conduct busine

foremost we're looking at these sunday talks kicking off their crucial talks previously on the so-called jamaica coalition failed if these talks break down what is next from the macro because of the two main options available because we have to remember as well that these talks which begin on sunday only exploratory coalition talks are not even that negotiations yet so merkel would either have the option also of a minority government which she has also said that she's against so that would be quite a grueling process having to get a majority in parliament if every single piece of legislation and the other option as well would be a snap election of course that's how we found ourselves in position that we're currently in. that would have to be called by the german president from walda should die in maya and he actually called on the social democrats to go back to the drawing board and speak with merkel's conservatives in the hope that germany can finally fall misstate will government or new government ok that is the hope right now now posters in for does the amount also has german voters what they

so there is not a lot of transparency within these talks in comparison to the jamaica talks that were held last year at the end of last year that failed budget we know that today they are for example talking about europe that is not a lot sticking point. the former head of the european poly amend he wants to push for stronger european integration for the united states of europe. and for christian democrats i'm not so much pushing for it but this is not the largest sticking points there will be talks about migration where the two parties differ for example on the issue of family reunion reunifications for refugees from civil war torn countries that is a huge sticking point and another one that could actually lead to these talks failing at the moment or in the end is the issue of health care insurance the social democrats said that they want to abolish private health care insurance and that that is one of their priorities and the christian democrats have already stated that that is not within their range of possibilities so it's going to be very interesting to see who will who will go f
