responsibility of the strobe and i will give my all to walk to give the through this year to win the regional election in only a few short weeks to make sure that we will win the next general elections and provide the chancellor of germany thanks although this vote needs to be confirmed by the entire party membership on friday so many arm in russia is a continuity candidate his slogan was that i am the representative of the executive branch so if you vote for me you can be sure you get a leader you get someone actually who had won elections so none of the other 2 candidates actually ever won an election governing in his state during the pandemic has been an ordeal for lash it the numbers of infections and deaths there have been among the highest in germany back when the incidence of covert was much lower he argued for less stringent lockdowns hoping to protect the economy as much as the people it's important to point out that winning the party leadership on its own

does not bring with it the right to work here the german chancellor angela merkel has already said she intends to serve out her term here so in order to replace the new party leader must win september's general election. but before he can do that he may have to deal with another leading conservative marcus's head of the cd used varian sister party the christian social union many say they would rather vote for him as chancellor. congratulations to i mean lash it i'm very happy i think this was an exciting party congress it was a very fair contest it was a very good introduction to 3 excellent candidates and in the end i believe there was a result from which the c.d.u. deserves congratulations it offers an opportunity for great cooperation. but what form that cooperation will take in terms of who runs for chancellor remains unclear meaning there is much still to do with arm in law should wants to replace anglo-american dominant al-jazeera. others but there is

a german political analyst and he explains what the change of leadership means for the city you and what challenges the party faces. i think for any candidate it became much easier to win back votes because the performance of the other than a t.v. food option has been so terrible in recent months and they're also running out of tough thinks that can be instrumental to winning the hearts and minds of people like high numbers of refugees we haven't seen any pandemic wasn't managed terrible because in the 1st wave of the pandemic we only saw 5000 deaths in germany which was a record low compared with other countries so it became pretty difficult for them to do fine in the chair and that could be seen as a major challenge to the conservative party it is in the 2nd attempt to nominate someone who could lead the conservative party into a brighter future or maybe not their conservative but

a party that he finds itself something america managed to achieve in the 15 years of being the face of the christian democratic union and the chancellor of germany so number of challenges and we have not really an idea what someone who only has a regional profile so far will do in the future what his positions in international affairs in european integration as a response to initiatives that come from the french president will be. now to northern brazil where more emergency supplies of oxygen have been airlifted to a city that's been overwhelmed by a surging coronavirus people and manasseh being curing in the streets to buy oxygen in a desperate bid to keep loved ones alive 2 new variations of corona virus is spreading rapidly through the capital of amazon the state hospitals buckle under the strain the medicine has been flying critically ill patients to all the states where

planning to use executive orders to undo several of president donald trump's landmark policies and includes a verse in the so-called muslim travel ban which trump an acted a week after taking office policy barred entry of foreign nationals from muslim majority countries and led to widespread protests and a gala who's in miami and looks of what the future may hold for the policy. fulfilling a campaign promise to enact extreme vetting president trump signed an executive order temporarily banning travel from 7 muslim majority countries in january 2017 the president's reasoning to make america safe and this is the rejection of the lady from foreign terror and intrigue. in the aftermath protests broke out at airports across the country as those fleeing violence and trying to reunite with their families were prevented from entering the u.s.

. civil rights organizations branded the ban religious discrimination against muslims and i doubt the legal challenges were successful in blocking the 1st 2 iterations of trump's travel ban in 2018 the supremes court allowed a 3rd version of the executive order to go into force now nationals from 13 countries including north korea venezuela and several african nations are on the list the travel ban has been particularly hard for those hoping to escape the violence in countries like syria and yemen when the supreme court made its ruling those trying to reunite with elderly relatives would devastated zet naggy told us his mother is close to giving up she stayed forcibly in jordan for 3 years and you know this ship dream court decision she finally said listen i read it out. this far i want to go back in 19 yemen it's a disagreement you started and to be honest we couldn't say anything to her anymore

. president elect joe biden has promised to repeal the travel bans and increase refugee admissions by 125000 civil rights groups say that doesn't go far enough because the same old same old isn't going to work anymore and as hard as we fought against the trumpet mensuration we're going to fight even harder against the biden administration because we expect them to resolve these issues for those still stuck in the bureaucratic limbo known as administrative processing the incoming administration is promises if filled will bring renewed hope president elect joe biden says the travel ban is morally wrong once he takes office he can rescind the order with the stroke of a pen that reuniting families will be a long difficult and complex process biden says the policy betrays u.s. values and doing its legacy could take years to gallacher al-jazeera miami florida . ok let's go live to natasha can aim who's in biden's home tongue wilmington

delaware natasha i've just been reading a memo that was sent in from the incoming white house chief of stuff wrong plain to seniors to talking about what was going to happen in the 1st 10 days of the administration he says that there are going to be roughly a dozen actions they're going to going to be signed in that time obviously the travel ban reversal is going to be one of them this is a big agenda isn't it. it's a big agenda and a big departure from the trump administration and it's of course no surprise when you consider that biden has said that president trump is one of the most incompetent presidents the united states has ever had so he is moving swiftly to define his presidency and craft a legacy a legacy that will hinge upon how he responds to various crises he describes as crises as the pandemic its economic fallout racial equity and climate change he said that he would be using executive orders to either overturn things that he

thought were not in the nation's interests or that were an example of overreach by trump on the day that he is inaugurated he will be sending an immigration bill to congress immigration is something that has vexed both republican and democratic presidents for decades the l.a. times is saying that this bill hopefully for undocumented immigrants create a path for citizenship the l.a. times also says that unlike previous bills that have been put forth to congress it won't necessarily be contingent expanding immigration won't necessarily be contingent on expanding security and enforcement biden will also in a real departure from trump. says that he will rejoin the paris agreement president obama for president obama signed this in 2016 at the time he called this international treaty addressing climate change

a landmark decision befalling year in 2017 trump pulled out he said that it would create draconian economic and financial restrictions in the united states and would mean a loss of 2700000 jobs to address the pandemic biden is moving forward with a mask mandate he's calling it a masking 100 day masking challenge. now this is something that the trump administration has not only opposed but been hostile toward but when biden comes into office people will be required to wear masks on all federal property and during interstate travel one other interesting thing he did just in the last few hours he named his science adviser but he's also elevated the post to that of a cabinet position gives the impression that joe biden is determined to show that his administration is going to be led by science.

well that's exactly what he said he said that his administration will be led by truth and science and again we're talking about a real departure from the trump administration when you consider that trump and members of the administration openly contradicted and often repudiated guidance regarding the pandemic from science from scientific officials from health officials and also rejected the notion again from scientists that during these devastating wildfires we saw spread across the western portion of the united states last year that climate change may play a role so it's not a surprise that in order to show that this administration is committed again to science and truth is what he says that he would elevate the director of the office of science and technology to a cabinet level position he named a renowned world geneticist named dr eric lander he is connected to the mapping of

the human genome project he is a real star in scientific communities he's currently the president of a research facility tied to harvard university and mit today dr lander said that the united states greatest asset is its unrivalled diversity which he says is crucial to scientific progress and he will be working with a team that includes 3 women one of them african-american natasha thank you very much natasha are going to i'm talking to us from wilmington in the u.s. state of delaware and has begun its vaccination campaign one of the biggest and most challenging in the world state government data shows 52 health care workers who received the photos and today in new delhi suffered signed affects the country's amos to have 300000000 people vaccinated as in the next 6 months but some are questioning the use of one locally developed vaccine the husband complete a trials and has withdrawn reports. these health care workers are registering to
