whoever wins will have a huge impact on the future of this country because that person taking over the reins could very well become the next chancellor let's take a step back now and take a look at merkel's eighteen years at the helm of the christian democrats. angela merkel's announcement in october came as a surprise europe's longest serving elected leader is aiming for something no modern day chancellor has managed before her controlled exit from politics. acted so i won't run again as party leader at the next cd you party conference in hamburg. this is fourth term is my last as the chancellor of germany. merkel became the first woman at the top of the c.d.u. in the year two thousand surprising nearly everyone the newcomer from the east led her party's break with its political idol helmut kohl over party funding scandal
even though it was her mentor the determination and power instinct the party saw there was also what it would get over the next eighteen years. those who refused to accept that the c.d.u. was no longer gentlemen's club soon learned the hard way one by one her competitors had to go. after becoming chancellor two thousand and five machall took a c.d.u. party on a political journey many criticized as a shift to the left setting conservative benchmark policies like military conscription and performing a u. turn on nuclear energy over the fukushima disaster in japan. by then her vall as party leader and her role as chancellor had long become inseparable merkel's political brand as the one who guarantees stability was born. in the midst of the greek debt crisis she defended risking billions of german taxpayers' money by claiming there was no alternative. there is no alternative to supporting greece to
secure the financial stability of the euro. zone merkel's no i'll turn it to also you saw her keeping germany's borders open during what became known as the migration crisis in twenty fifteen the political challenge that still defines her leadership and yet if we were to net debt that we can do this considering our european responsibility our humanitarian response ability and our response ability for germany then we wouldn't be the christian democratic union of germany but we are and that's why we can do this. merkel herself was long seen as a conservative party leader without an alternative to replace the fact that there are now several credible candidates is also fueling speculation over how much longer she can remain chancellor. argue that these were killer kafin who filed that
report that you just saw is covering the city you congress for us and i asked her if this was a watershed moment for the party. oh absolutely and we see anger matthew self launching a process allowing for the party to separate something that she'll always insisted shouldn't be separated which is the leadership of the party and the top job the top political job in the country is german chancellor so it's definitely a historic moment at the same time it seems to also be something of a breath of fresh air for the c.d.u. party she certainly said as much when she came here a short while ago making a statement after inspecting the hall behind me let's have a look at that. this will be a special party congress because this time a new leader of the c.d.u. will be elected. that's something we haven't had in many years with country the party has been preparing intensively at all levels. and the one thousand two
hundred delegates will face an important task tomorrow. they will also be pointing the way for our future leaders in the future and that's why i am looking forward to tomorrow i'm excited just as everyone else is this is pure democracy this is a real choice to be made and the delegates will decide the rest. thank you for mikhail of the race to replace america is on is there a clear favorite. yes you know there are two potential favorites this is interesting also that she pointed out that this is a real contest because it was the first time that there is a real contest for the party leadership which during her days was more of a coronation style election here at these party conferences now and it did come. the woman and america herself launched into the position as secretary general of the conservative c.d.u.
party she is a clear front runner at the same time a guy called free to teach math who left politics all together after a class with the german chancellor over a leadership role that was a decade ago he's seeing quite a big comeback right now and if you speak to delegates and particularly people grassroots members of the party they say if they vote with their heart they would go for it but if they vote with their heads they would potentially go for i think it's come i would gather that the posse traditionally it does would go with its head we also see spawn the current health minister in the race but nobody really expects him to go very far on this all right thank you so much to their views chief political editor at the city you party congress in hamburg. we're to shift our attention now to a big story today a beijing is demanding that canada release. one of china's top global executives
mangas the daughter of the founder of chinese telecoms giant and was detained last week and bank over she now faces extradition to the u.s. for alleged violations of american sanctions against iran. she's the chief financial officer of one of the biggest telecommunications equipment companies in the world now it's emerged that men wang jew has been in custody in canada for days u.s. authorities are seeking her extradition on charges of helping huawei violate the u.s. trade embargo on iran allegations that have prompted an angry response from beijing . hugo. china has expressed its serious position on this case to both canada and the united states. we are demanding the reason for her arrest to be clarified immediately. demanding meg's release and for her rights she is drizzles don't to be safeguarded.
meng's detention comes as huawei faces increasing scrutiny from abroad. in the past u.s. lawmakers have described the company as a threat to national security saying its technology could be used for spying. other countries like australia and new zealand share those concerns and to stand trial ways equipment from being used in their high speed five g. mobile networks. the latest allegations from the united states have emerged as an especially sensitive time in the chinese u.s. relationship last weekend the country's leaders agreed to a ninety day truce in their month long trade dispute. the u.s. decision to target one of china's most important tech giant is only likely to reignite tensions. are at let's get some more background now with aaron telephone from d.w. business this couldn't have come at a worse time for us the chinese the trade relations talk just more about these
allegations well basically the u.s. government is accusing wall why of knowingly violating u.s. sanctions specifically in delivering telecommunications tech a technology that was developed the united states to iran and most likely north korea as well now these are allegations that have cropped up several times the past against large on technology providers from china for example z t e was recently confronted with similar accusations actually the punitive measures that the u.s. introduced again this year almost cost them their business in a way would require the intervention of donald trump to allow them to keep doing business on the international stage so at least when it comes to these direct accusations is nothing new when it comes to accusing chinese companies but that's one side of the medallion on the other side we seem to be again bringing up this this kind of nebulous accusation that a lot of these chinese companies are engaging in espionage for the chinese government well let's talk about that because it's not just camera in the u.s. involved in this case now we also have other western governments saying well this
company is using its technology in a way that poses a national security or risk talk to us about that well i mean we don't. really have any definite evidence that they are actually engaging in as been it just seems to be one of those things that many governments are worried about i mean there was the recent case as we heard the report of new zealand australia saying the telecoms couldn't actually use technology from huawei because they're worried about the data the data that would be transmitted on those networks being sent back to beijing now we've heard similar concerns in the us as well for years now you have to remember one of the founders of huawei was a very senior engineer in china's people liberation army so there's always been that connection between him and the and his company and the intelligence services and you know as a lot of this technology in the night from china is that the united states in the western world relies on it continually built in china there's a lot of concerns out there that they maybe use units to basically get intellectual property from the west and used that to build the chinese companies that are very
very close to state entities as you're saying that the only thing i'm thinking about is that in the n.s.a. do something similar just a couple years ago a spy on everybody using our american product in terms of your phones and all of that well i mean it's not a bad comparison the n.s.a. did in gage in massive spying we know that they've built back doors into major internet backbones and use that to gather an incredible amount of data the difference is that the difference here in the worry is i think is that there is no evidence that the n.s.a. ever engage in industrial espionage that means they didn't try to take the company secrets technology and give it to american companies or they could be used in that way as purely an intelligence gathering operation you know the china has long had a very dubious dubious relationship to intellectual property from western companies they've often made companies wanting to do business in china and sign deals where they basically have to give up their intellectual property if they wanted to work there and a lot of the fears now are that china is attempting to gain the next leg up in
technology using some of the technology embedded in this type of internet technology to have all that has been an ongoing concern there and tell them thank you so much for breaking it down for us definitely one of the big stories today. now you may remember the images of a little afghan boy from a couple of years ago or more times a mahdi made the headlines after being pictured wearing in the real messy football shirt made out of a plastic bag now though internet fame has given way to the harsh realities of life in afghanistan his family have been forced to flee their home because of the taliban. it was a story which captured the hearts of millions. when pictures of murtaza ahmadi wearing a makeshift little missy shirt fashioned out of a carrier bag were uploaded to facebook it was quickly a viral sensation his dreams of meeting his idol then became reality when he was invited to lead barcelona for a friendly match in qatar
a magical moment for the football mad five year old but two years on those happy times were distant memory after taliban soldiers attack their afghan village moataz or his family were forced to flee their homes what's more than our seven year old international fame has brought unwelcome attention back home. jennifer brought some men were chasing us saying ever since our son became famous our family has become rich because messi gave us money. we didn't care but when the taliban got closer to our place then our lives were in danger when we turned a profit of this one now living in kabul with his mother but also dreams of being reunited with his hero a world away from war torn afghanistan. i like messi a lot i want to live close to him i want him to take me out of this place. one of more than three hundred thousand afghans that fled their homes due to
violence since the beginning of twenty eighteen alone murtaza story isn't unique but the boy dubbed mini missy by the media provides a recognizable face for their plight. coming up we saw a lot more to tell you about including the price at the pump has been going down opec ministers meeting today hope to change that. humphry we'll have that and a whole lot more coming up don't go anywhere she's up next. on the route and they will not succeed in dividing us about not succeeding taking the people off the streets because we're tired of this dictatorship. taking the
