Well in other news United Nations brokered peace talks between yemen saudi backed government and whos the rebels aligned with iran are set to start today in sweden the talks marked the first meeting between the two sides since Two Thousand And Sixteen and are aimed at ending four years of war todays discussions are expected to focus on confidence Building Measures. We go over there brought to sweden by the u. N. The delegation of who the rebels say they strive for peace the set to negotiate with yemens government for the first time in two years. I think the delegates want to create a framework for negotiation and we hope to leave sweden with a final and full solution to end the conflict in yemen so that all yemenis no matter of their political opinion can live in peace the more. U. N. Officials dont have such high hopes that the talks to be held at this Costal Outside Stark home they dont expect a political settlement but at least steps towards deescalation. Four years of conflict in yemen have left thousands dead and created whats been described as the worst humanitarian crisis in recent history. With the countrys economy crippled more than fourteen Million People many of them children
of facing starvation. There is only one message to those who are gathering today in sri then that is the message of peace for this brutal war the brutal war on children raging throughout the country for too long for that war to stop now. With the conflict locked in stalemate many hope the talks will result in a cease fire allowing food and aid to reach those who need it most. Now from. The think tank the European Council on Foreign Relations is covered yemen is a journalist speaks to us from beirut good morning our talks set to begin today in sweden what are you expecting deescalation truce whats likely to come out of them. I mean it at this point whats on the docket or a series of discussions on a variety. Of things like Prisoner Exchanges potentially the reopening of some air
force were also looking at potential issues for the Financial Sector so its not going to be from zero to one here and here it really is starting at zero if not last this is the first set of u. N. Back tops that it managed to taper off for two years ok weve already seen a Prisoner Release weve seen wounded who hes been flown out of the country with these kind of confidence Building Measures already in place could we see food starting to move to those who very much need supplies and that thats part of the end easing up some of the blockages but then whats also reported. In a lot of cases even though youre dealing with under pressure is the food is there its a matter of the fact that you can if that is their answer is the special cities people just cant afford it. You have sky high unemployment rates and when youre dealing
with a crisis that is when you know you know eight percent of young is in need of humanitarian assistance thats something that even a learned capsule you really need some sort of structural changes which were only im with you also ok the easing of the conflict this is very much a proxy war between saudi arabia and iran are they in some way in the background at these talks would start today. No i didnt even im sorry or certainly if im an exaggeration its very much a proxy for although now there is certainly a role essent there is certainly a strong domestic logic to a lot of kids are not being said is certainly a strong a strong chance that. You know if they dont like the way things are going you would see that interest for those on the saudis how sad is are the pollution so that they are thoughtfully all the means to be seen with that watched me obviously you still have military music earning only call a stake and
a lot still moving in the background there and im Barren Forest from the European Council on Foreign Relations thanks very much now for a look at some of the other stories making the news today a former australian archbishop found guilty of covering up Child Sex Abuse has at his conviction overturned a mistrial in court ruled in favor of Philip Wilsons appeal of freedom from Detention Catholic archbishop ive been the worlds most senior catholic to be convicted of hiding abuse which was committed by a Pedophile Priest in the one Nine Hundred Seventy s.

Well here in germany draws to a close. Steps down as leader of her conservative c. D. U. Party whoever is elected to reprise replace her at a Party Conference getting underway in hamburg today could become germanys next chancellor we have this look at eighteen years at the helm of the christian democrats. Going to merkels announcement in october came as a surprise europes longest serving elected leader is aiming for something no modern day chancellor has managed before her controlled exit from politics to meet acted so i wont 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 partys 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 a Gentlemens 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 vote as
party leader and her role as chancellor had long become inseparable merkels 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. Merkels noel targeted reasoning also saw her keeping germanys borders open during what became known as the Migration Crisis in twenty fifteen the political challenge that still defines her leadership and yet gets caught if we were to nag dave that we can do this considering our european responsibility our humanitarian response ability and our responsibility for germany then we wouldnt be the Christian Democratic Union of
germany but we are and thats why we can do this. America 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. So lets look at some of the alternatives more on this lets bring in to be a Political Correspondent kate brady in our parliamentary studios here in berlin good morning kate all of machall stepping down as party leader but she says shell be staying on as german chancellor until twenty twenty one cannot work. It certainly could work but things could become problematic depending on the party selects to morrow in hamburg as her successor is a cd party leader and that could become particularly difficult if one of those candidates Friedrich Maps is elected as the c. D. U. Party leader he currently heads
a Supervisory Board for the Asset Management company blackrock and he will certainly move the party move the cd into a more conservative direction and away from the Center Ground of germanys political spectrum where weve seen map move the c. D. U. Over the last couple of decades so that could then certainly prove to be problematic for all and live machall should be elected and that would then question well. As the chancellor. What about the two other contenders for party chair would they signals well a new direction for the conservatives we could certainly see a little bit of change there are two of the main front runners as we have hes younger thirty eight and also we could see with him if he were elected leader we could see the party moving in a more conservative direction hes a very vocal challenger and critic of merkel particularly when it comes to Migration Policy and then at the same time you also have an a critic karrenbauer
who is has at least been dubbed here in germany in recent weeks as a mini machall or even the current for the leadership over this but even for her this is the label of being a mini macko is something which she tried shes tried to distance herself from in recent weeks during this Leadership Race so we certainly could see a shake up without doubt within the c. D. U. Party but it just depends as to how big that change and that shift will be ok no matter who is going to be this is the beginning of the end of the miracle here it is. It certainly is shes been at the helm of the c. D. U. For eighteen years shes been chancellor of germany for thirteen has an entire generation here in germany that has known no other chancellor now of course it is business as usual for math shes hardly made a dent in her current and final term in office as chancellor and the still to be
done particularly when it comes to International Relations but of course already media both here in germany and abroad and World Leaders over to begin to envisage or imagined even prepare for war a europe on what a World Without muckle on The World Stage might look like kate brady in our parliamentary studio thanks very much to the United States now where the State Funerals been held for George Bush Sr a former president war hero the man who led the u. S. As the soviet union collapsed in the cold war drew to a close the ceremony in washington saw a rare gathering of all living u. S. President s in an era when political differences cut deep.
