German Coalition Talks Collapse

Available for over a year

There's political paralysis in Germany following the collapse of coalition talks. Ria Schroeder of the Free Democrats tells us why her party pulled out of the negotiations. And we find out what's likely to happen next from Jurgen Hardt, of Angela Merkel's CDU party. Also in the programme, Saudi Arabia's economy minister Muhammad Al Tuwaijri discusses the recent royal corruption arrests, and their economic impact. We have a report from Washington on the art of political speechwriting, in the age of Donald Trump. Plus, we talk to Arthur Kay of Bio Bean about his company's plan to power London buses using a biofuel made from waste coffee grounds. (Picture: Angela Merkel. Picture credit: AFP / Getty Images.)
