The shooter challenge in twenty fifteen of taking many people and British Military in crisis. We must prove that in times like these we resolutely defend our way of life our liberal values and our interests but the time and effort. In the lead up with this ill soon with my acceptance that we must over together to continue this momentum we all have the responsibility to shape im sustain this great Peoples Party of the middle and i would be very happy if both again sean and friedrich minutes would work with me to achieve this is our strong middle. It was close but in the end shows the americans favored while on a cats calm qanbar is the new party chair of the german christian democrats she now takes over as leader of the c. D. U. After securing the leadership vote and that puts her in pole position to become germanys next chancellor after americas fourth term ends. An eclipse come kind of emerge victorious and perhaps slightly in shock winning fifty one point seven percent of the vote she beat her more conservative rival maps and shes now the woman at the helm of the christian democrats. Here he is talking as president to committee. It is free to matts. Dia delegates and dia guests. Exit this position and the results of the vote and thank you for your trust. It was only in february of this year that come combo us had a laugh with angle america when the german chancellor first proposed a c. D. U. Party secretary general meco had forgotten that she herself was the first woman in the job the to see eye to eye on many issues sounding remarkably similar over the hot button subject of migration we can do this. Yes we can do this we can do this if we use the christian c. In our policy names a compass and take the diva democratic seriously lets talk about policies again instead of looking for the lowest common denominator. The to go back a long way in recent months and it could come come bella has been keen to shake off the title as many macca stressing their differences like her skepticism over same sex marriage and her interest and reintroducing conscription like service for young people she also used the latest tension between russia and ukraine to call for a tougher line against russian president Vladimir Putin in addition to use sanctions bus routes and asked the question how else we can make absolutely clear to him that the insults see must be kept open for international shipping. Come and her leadership credentials as state premier of germanys smallest state of the island there she proved that she can win elections in difficult times for the c. D. U. While my colleague nic of her has been covering developments at the c. D. U. Party congress and hamburg and she filed this report after the news came through that an exact count can borrow or was the next party leader. By electing an idiot to come carbon bow as new leader of the conservative c. D. U. Party angle america got the successor at the helm of the conservative c. D. U. That she herself had been hoping for after all merkel launched her career as Party Secretary general only last february at the same time a. K. K. Is use known cant afford to simply continue on the medical course in fact it doesnt appear that she intends to do that shes been much tougher action on migration the math will ever was shes also ready let knowing that she would be tougher on moscow too particularly on the issue of ukraine this now is a voice. That the chancellor Angela Merkel will have to listen to in the future. But for now its safe to say that im going to mackerels gradual exit from politics first only stepping down as party leader could be Something Like a text book exit deciding herself when she leaves the political stage to show off and now shes vowed to stay until her time ends in twenty twenty one but there is a lot of uncertainty ahead here in germany and didnt hear a. Metallica from reporting their exit stage after uncle america what shape well germany take up here craven is here our chief Political Editor all right velvet curtains have now closed for a chancellor uncle americal that was a very stage managed you know over very well choreographed over the tax issue and im going to medicals you for just right just down to earth c. And now shes created this new and rather fascinating i think tongue them because its pretty unprecedented they dont have to work parallel to each of a for anything up to three years its. In duration thats a long time anything can happen in three years and it certainly will. Foreign policy is going to be an interesting area because im glad we would or wouldnt how theyre going to find this but it would we would you assume that im going to focus on for important almost see where she has a global reputation where shes a revered figure power from outside europe whether there are problems around austerity in the refugee crisis because im interested to see how they interact with two ladies so i understand from your explanation here that a k k a shes known for short term merkels a successor as a leader of the c. D. U. Shes not going to make life difficult for the shoes shes definitely not i mean are they we saw the body language you saw the chemistry between the two they are friends they are buddies and shes going to be studiously loyal and shes got every reason to do so after she of course shes been offered a plate the job as the as the most the leader of the most powerful country in europe effectively. The future leader old europe and shes going to be suited in the older diplomacy in the politicking that goes without by one of the the great masters of the current under the medical now as weve been reporting a lot of people have been saying that there are some striking similarities between these are womens a style of leadership what i wonder is will a k. K. Be harmed by that similarity well certainly theres any chance its difficult to say but there has been for my money there has been a deliberate campaign in some quarters to try and diminish. The you know itself you mentioned shes been called many medical which i think is shocking really shes been talked about this is a diminutive character here and she herself in her in her address to the Conference Today she you could tell that i was hurt and cried she said i am who i am im a winner i have a very powerful track record and in so many words she said i will not take this nonsense any longer shes going to give some clear signals to the media are right now lets take a listen now to where chancellor angloamerican what she said in her farewell address. You know part of. It is not that i am parting ways c. D. U. I dont have to be tied to a chair to have strong ties to this party and its also about wanting me to be a german chancellor of the city and that is going to be focusing on the time after me it is a matter of interest to my heart and the last term of my political affluence that i contribution to ensuring the new success of the studio whilst the same time maintaining responsibility nation city to contain the governments this is how we can set the course for the future peter basically her successor america successor has no choice but to embrace miracles legacy same question different a different answer id have to say every american has been criticized down the years for sometimes being spinks like being vague we dont know how to read her she likes conditioned conviction she lacks vision but you know she is a person of great humility and great modesty and i think she is going to being capable of the historic acts of actually slowly but surely stepping aside and letting a k. K. K. Take over in the limelight is she someone that will bring about the change that many in the party in the city you party are calling for i dont know so much marcelo theres going to be brought a cold change revolutionary change in the balance i think far from it i think shes going to adopt a much more pragmatic step by step very murky must approach that shes going to get shes going to go out there and do what shes been doing for months or what shes going to listen to people in her policy and in the country shes going to listen to their fears about about the refugee situation shes going to listen to their fears about a lot of shes also going to listen to their fears about you know everyday problems that people are really afflicted by here in germany the moment you care for the elderly or her whizzing these kind of things the digitalisation of the workplace the fears that people have shes going to listen shes going to care and shes going to try and put things right for people that is probably the best approach to to talk. In the alternative for germany the far right alton is the german lets take a wider view now in terms of the e. U. Interest of Foreign Policy at large what we see a continuation of the policies that weve seen up to now or will surely have a moment now where its more inward looking not on todays evidence so there i was quite surprised to hear in her address to the conference they make a case saying that that she believes that we should have a more consolidates europe that we need a europe. That is going to have its own army for example she mentioned and that was that was really her answering the questions that the Emanuel Mccraw has been asking for a whole year and that im glad merkel hasnt really been answering so that was quite an interesting step forward i thought not not that surprising if you consider that the zoolander that she comes from is right up of the french board us shes got to be thinking about relations with friends how much has chance america shaped germany shes made it more liberal shes made it more been shes made it more diverse shes made it more of a womens world we would have come to the foreign bank of america either its happened or shes engineered it you know i often sit with a minister in berlin and they say this is not this is being deliberate this has been a stills program with feminism written all over it but never to mention. Another woman takes over the verizon are right now continuing that game peter craven chief Political Editor here at d w news thank you. France is on a war footing authorities are trying to stave off another wave of violent protests that have been plaguing the country for weeks public anger erupted over the governments plan to fuel tax hikes part of president s mccollums efforts to fight a Climate Change tomorrow the eiffel tower and the move museum are among the some of the landmarks that will be close in paris this weekend as the country braces for a repeat of last weekends rioting but the heavy handedness would wish police are trying to control public unrest also prompted widespread criticism this video that you see here shows High School Students being arrested in a town near paris hundreds of students were rounded up around the country after demonstrations disrupted or closed many schools now across the french cities and towns students walked out of their classrooms in anger at government reforms to University Fees and requirements and on looks like a city at war rioting vandalism car set on fire and tear gas. At month fifty kilometers northwest of paris cars were burning here too and one hundred forty six people were taken into custody and fires in bordeaux in the south of the country and marches this banner reach a high school is angry. Wherever you look in france the scene a similar high school and University Students whove joined the yellow vests demonstrations to protest against the rising cost of living and against the government many are also demanding the countrys president to resign. Also we support the yellow vests we have a common cause its about our future so its obvious that will take to the streets as it is and where he the past few days theres been rioting i saw a bus stop shelters being manned liason a car windshield smashed with a mother and three children inside the car these are things weve never seen before and are difficult to control and. Theres no sign that high school and University Students or the yellow vests are planning to stop their protests however not all the french think that should include violence when hes got a solution that is not a solution no solution or two you can demonstrate without being violent just like the law states he pleaded boller will. The government wants to show its ready to negotiate however the concessions its willing to make dont satisfy the yellow vests in the upper house of the French Parliament the Prime Minister appealed to the demonstrators in a minute when a phone call to the minister of the interior asked those who were planning to come to paris on saturday to demonstrate not to do that they should distance themselves from the violence this is not about prohibiting freedom of expression its simply good advice so that you dont get swept up in the violence thousands of security personnel will be deployed this weekend across the country the Prime Minister said that those who take part in writing will be arrested and brought to trial the government wants to show it wont put up with any more violence but thats not likely to stop the protests. Well the to be a News Reporter i mean honestly if a cop with one of the yellow vests protesters are on facebook which are is the man who came up with the idea of actually using the yellow warning vest as the symbol of the movement well heres an excerpt now from that interview in french we forced over the questions and answers for you in english where did you get the idea to use a yellow vest ok to even want to but it was really simple i was making my video and i saw the vest that i use all the time for work. I thought to myself its highly visible we all have one in our cars because its required by law. So why not use it as a sort of color code. Just to see if people want to go out in protest. And then go. Over to someone. Who why use a log and as you protest my crimes comes with the tax code needed a tux. Its not enough we should have woken up years ago we took too long to wake up and now we have to make up for the years we missed there in really way too many abuses for years and he isnt listening to us he had a program that was actually not too bad but he didnt do anything he promised. Cmon guys will. What are your politics. On this and what you. Mean im not political at all. Id like to have the right to vote on the important laws think it passed. Because we dont get to give our consent. To fill those. On what we dont have a right to decide on these things. We just have a right to choose a president every five years. If you against microns attempt to improve the environment. Well no actually we would all love to drive with clean energy but the governments plan doesnt stand up thats not how were going to achieve anything we cant even pay for our cars now so its impossible to buy electric cars or hybrids. Normal. So whats the plan whats going to happen the next two weeks. Youre all the. I think its going to get rough its inevitable. In my opinion the anger is too intense he responded too late and whats more he doesnt respond directly he sends ministers in his place most people i meet on the street want him to step down on the doctors rule or course over to me to call this what has to happen for the yellow vest to be satisfied. That because this was on a thursday. When i heard this was a pulse and i think the president s. To come out of his hole and face the french people not with the press release but in reality on the ground but that will never happen i dont think hes too removed hes so proud of not taking any steps backward that were not going to let go either the problem is that hes stubborn and were stubborn too at some point someone is going to have to cave in were counting on him to do the caving. People who arent taking out to paris the french capital which is bracing for another wave of violence lets check in with jake a second air who is on the ground jay good to see you from here where we are it seems like everybody in france is on a war footing how much tension is there on the eve of this fourth act of this protest movement. Well lou tensions are running rather high after last weeks group says on saturday many people who canceled their evening plans which normally just be on the safe side there are certainly plenty extra precautions as you said major reasons and sites are closed and counties are sent they will get other side what were not sure shops and banks are boarding up and construction sites are also. Equipment and anything that can be used as projectiles by rioters oh right now i just wonder how much public support is there for the zone as there are no. A little about well on sunday typical was released that showed about seventy five percent of british people support a vision in the yellow best movement and that they sympathize with but then they also said that eighty five percent of people of french were against the violence that we saw but you know still that fifty percent margin is quite worrisome but that number has also slipped a little bit to seventy five percent support she has done since we have seen that there could be violent protests tomorrow where meanwhile the president a man who i might call has been silent and his silence has been deafening as rightly the label of the last time that we heard from naturalists in buenos aires when he was at the g twenty summit in argentina and he spoke out against the violence and the riots that took place on saturday and thats a lot of what people are angry about that he hasnt publicly addressed this even though he has sent his his Government Spokesperson the Prime Minister to address the french people there waiting to hear from the president and he has said that he was speaking next week early next week likely monday and you do want to speak for tomorrows protest just in case he would add fuel to the fire that the government is facing a nightmarish problem this isnt a more fist Movement Without any discernible leadership that is morphing into something much much bigger and is very difficult to piece because the tensions have an ease after they basically cancel that controversial attacks fuel tax. Thats right i mean that was only the first thing thats an initially what started these protests a month ago and then you had a Larger Movement they grew and grew into a Larger Movement that encompass the middle and working classes for them to express their frustration with what they perceive as slipping standa
