the animals out of the capital, they say the man mismanagement is to blame residents. meanwhile, a wary and photograph i'm afraid causes i am afraid. now there are no bull, but when there are, i'm afraid and it didn't happen just wanted. but many times, once i saw them, i was going to throw out the rubbish. and they came off to me because i was carrying a bag with rubbish. i left the bag and went away while boys always drove here, but we are always careful with them. we are not afraid because we know they went to tucker, but we always keep a safe distance from them because if by chance there is a mother with a pig, let's be rift being a top ah, top stories to 0. what house his horses will no longer be used by us border patrol . otter offices used the horses rains against haitian migrants images captured by

algebra, and earlier this week showed us border agents on horseback trying to force people away as a m to attempt to enter the country country. and the us border control chief describe their actions is unacceptable. us special envoy for haiti has resigned over what he calls the inhumane treatment of haitian migrants by the us government. in a statement, daniel foot said the policy of defaulting thousands of migrants and refugees is counter productive and deeply flawed. responding to foot resignation, the white house says he never raised his concerns about migration policies. but procedure, jim saki added that president biden was taking the issue seriously. what he is asked all of us to convey clearly to people who are understandably, have questions, are passionate, are concerned, as we are about the images that we have seen is one we feel those images are horrible and horrific. there is an investigation. the president certainly supports overseen by this the department of homeland security,

which he has conveyed what will happen quickly. i can also convey to you that the secretary also conveyed to civil rights leaders earlier this morning that we would no longer be using horses in del rio. so that is something a policy change that has been made in response. and a volcano on lapel now, one of the spanish canary islands continues to erupt. the area is still covered in smoke and a huge cloud of toxic gas, which is currently disrupting flights. hundreds of homes have already been destroyed. and now the island phenomena, crops are at risk. damage to properties estimated at more than $105000000.00. and as i know, author spanish minister appeared to encourage so called disaster tourists to visit a stream is next with a special look at the german elections. i'll be about one years after that. ah ah

ah ah, i am fairly ok next week germans will be going to the polls and voting for new chancellor. who can replace angela marco, what are the big concerns of both his right now? and who are the top candidate so much to pack into this episode of the stream. but 1st his anglo merkel speaking just a few weeks ago about her own legacy. take a look and not top small to minutes most all for going with an arbiter, but even the, the team does a good kim, scott ding off the shelf to hit the target on sibling with us up coming in from feed on within the management board to me,

i couldn't even mark them all the needle unusual and this talk smith and names because all of them can get to sort of minot on place and in the title, harbor and gazette of listen leave. because i'm only on indian seneca with a beyond the ministry minister and that's probably out of the system for boss, for the 3 stuff on the givens in economy. so i've got another few minutes close there for marco. welcome your piano, everybody. i'm going to say hello to oliver and tom, and they feel nice to have you on board. all of that, please tell everybody who you are. what you say? i'm a correspondent. the united states corresponded with torture villa. that's germany's international broadcaster here in d. c. it's had he had a health insurance yourself to the st. louis. good evening, somebody and i'm tom natural, the bureau chief for the economist. nice to see sophia,

welcome to the stream. hello, everybody who you are i what you do? hi, i'm sophia bash, i'm a senior research fellow at the center for your report. that's the think tank and german 4 and then we have such a great lineup audience do not waste that lives in the expertise we on youtube right now in the comments section. put your thoughts or questions right here. and you can be part of today show if we're talking about the legacy of anglo merkel, that would take us weeks. i would say, because really we break that down. we're not going to do that. i'm going to give you a little assignment, fear angle, of course, as a global leader on the world stage. what's a legacy? it's a really good question because on the foreign policy and germany's role in the mecca has been pretty hesitant actually, which might be surprising. she's not known for major speeches or decisions, changes in the field, the foreign policy and defendants. she sort of camp and the usual german tropes

include the te dialogue, motivation, and shooting me, that the china commitment to nato and you. but until that you recovery package last year that has been very little concrete follow up in that she's been i think a crisis manager with that has won her a good reputation abroad as an anchor for stability if you will. but it leaves jeremy without much of a strategy to tackle the big future challenges like di kevin is ation of the economy or a digitalization, or indeed, what to do about jimmy small as a defense power. major. focus on miss steps. 20 years, 16 years as javin talked to miss t. yes. and that has been a long time. first of all right. i mean the along with serving chances together with him would cool the chancellor during the time of the unification in germany. i think it was all code your code was here, made a famous quote. he said she did nothing. she did many things. right. but no major

thing wrong. and i think that characterizes her very well. and that's also what sophia pointed out, that she was a very careful politician. she always tried to gather majorities around herself. it took a long time for her to come to conclusions sometimes. and that's where her problems also were. so she certainly an anchor of stability over the last 16 years for germany, for europe. certainly very important aspect of her, of her legacy. but then on the other hand, she did not have a clear vision. she did not also tell short in, in solving some of the biggest problems that the european union has. for instance. what if i place you on success this way? you can look at angela mark with a this is her. see, this is where people will remember her being the most successful tom thing is, i mean, i think for fear and oliver have described it pretty well. you look back over 16 years, it's quite a long time for someone to be in office. but it's quite difficult to point to any kind of decisive moments which and them up who have the kind of particular vision

that she decided to execute either for germany or europe or for the world. what you has really, i think are 2 things. one was a very strong ability to manage crises, and we had a lot of both, particularly in europe and the 1st half of the 2010. you find anglo market at the heart of them the years in crisis to refugee to russia and ukraine. you name it, and the 2nd thing is a kind of a method, a way of trying to solve problems. what you see with multiple time and time again, both domestically and internationally, is this method of trying to bring everybody to the table to hear everybody's point of view to negotiate all night long, if necessary, and crucially to delay making any big decisions until the last possible moment and you can tell you have no choice, but to make those decisions. that was her way of managing chrisy sometimes that led to quite a big cost, particularly in managing the euros and crisis. but that i think is the legacy more to the method. the vision or an idea of the g. i was bring in the voice of dr.

janet bus. he is at trinity college in dublin, and this is what he told us a little bit earlier. and i guess he's mixed content oriented and pragmatic leadership style and kind of germany route tried to financial economic crisis. and germany are seen more economic growth than not developed countries. but it is also because of this pragmatic leadership style that she has pedro trans, significant issues, lack of for, after the democracy, edward in the european union. and the apartment isn't just off the fed to use opportunities like 2015 reference she crisis to develop a vision of germany as a migration country. she leaves test successor across from germany and needed a vision. tell me you're sitting there in berlin. i'm just wondering what writings. all right now the high are they staggering the high?

yeah. she wanted to run. if i run again she's yet. i don't think that he talked about that at all. i mean, her approval ratings above 80 percent is actually extraordinary. that. yeah, and what's really striking is it, if you look at the ratings for the candidates from a bind to replace or chancellor, they all a fraction of what's really been really interesting about the selection campaign. what you order them in that different way. but they tried to appeal to what is a version of moderate centralized electric them up. so good reaching, but i think they've also to for short in their own ways. yeah. so yeah, if it's, if you guys i said i'm going to get all of it. no, go ahead. it's very interesting because a 3 time thing. and it's so funny because they're looking almost for the next merkel right. germany is looking for the next markup on her pitch was one of the ability and humility. and because all candidates are trying to position themselves

as the next matter, we're almost looking for the nice charismatic most centrist candidate. and i think we've seen that in the and election campaign that has been void of ideas really. oliver guy had. yeah, and it was the very interesting election campaign was in the and especially now if you look at 3 candidates and i think that's actually very important aspect to your office election that we have never seen a situation where actually 3 parties will be necessary to form a coalition, so we have a real shift there in german politics right now. and that's perhaps too interesting also for you, international audiences that this has not happened before. so there is this kind of erosion from what we seen in germany, that stability. we were talking about before everyone has addressed of us. we're usually 2 parties. we're trying to make the deal and trying to find out where the next chancellor will be right now. first of all, we don't know it at all. busy so it's a very nice race and it's nothing we have no,

i know i told them ahead but yeah. do we think about the selection? is it on the one hand kind of like horse race terms and he's going to win and who's up and down in the polls? it's been absolutely extraordinary. we've had 3 different policies in the lead. in the last 4 or 5 months. huge upset about what's going to happen on sunday, and afterwards when they have to put a government together. on the other hand, if you were saying a moment ago, the campaign has actually been about nothing at all other than personalities and, and candidate has had no proper seemed really hasn't had much substance, which is really worrying, given the number of challenges at gemini, can i have to confront new things, i guess we can look into this breakdown of who, who the candidates are the 1st his friend he's, he's thinking about who the next person has to be. what kind of qualities do they have to be to be the next german chancellor? who is this is an unprecedented lecture for germany in many ways.

actually the current chancellor angle america was not running for office again. so we will definitely get a new chancellor. and that means that for many voters, the question of whom to trust with running the country has gained prominence over the last few weeks. and it seems, you know, they are looking for a safe pair of hands which seems to benefit the current finance. and it's all assault social democrats. i'm going to go through some of the top contenders in just a minute, but the fear was in your mind, you're about to say something. i know i've been thinking about the fact that it's because they're trying to be medical that it's been boring, but it's also, i think that after 16 years of this was just called the pen politics. germany has been and that's the ties to

a degree. i think we have lots of practice of fighting over of fighting over issues . and as a result, this campaign has been very process heavy. all right tom, i'm gonna, i'm gonna pull it, i'm going to bore your brain here. let's take a look at some of the top candidates. i'm just gonna put 4 up here, and i'm just gonna get you to do a single line write a single sentence. so let's start with the c d u christian democratic union. gentlemen, i'm, unless it is the leader of the christian democrats, wrangler merkel party, and the candidate for that party. and it's very assist the party to see su, tried to position and help themselves in center of success at demarco. you have an absolute disastrous campaign social democratic party. next pop out that leader. so his shots, he's the finance minister and the vice jobs are in the current government because yes, p d and the, the cd you see if you were in the ground coalition at the moment he sort of the opposite. he'd been written off 2 years yesterday. we're really,

really struggling and literally just in the last 4 to 6 weeks yesterday on the shelves and stays an extraordinary come back in the front. run it to be the good is actually it's like a whole race. the green coffee tom, keep going good. you're in a bad job for the junk for jobs re, from the green party. she's a co leader of the party with a mindful robot. hobbit they briefly, when she became the counters and april, the greens briefly sought to the top of the poles. as an extraordinary moment didn't last long, she made a few mistakes, but they're still of course have a very good election results. and she will probably be in the next coalition government and the f t p. why we, even on this graphic, free democratic party will influence possibly have very good reasons. on the graphic christian linda, the leader of the party is not going to be charged a t p as a small liberals. busy are pro business pass cutting party, but he, this party could be absolutely crucial to putting the next coalition government together because they will be needed to make up the numbers in which way they choose to go is going to be absolutely crucial in the day,

weeks after the elections of i have total respect for you saying you have no clue what he's going to happen on sunday. what do you want to share with us about what you feel going to have? what does the folks have so many wild cards? they know that they usually shouldn't be historically. you know, i think in the past it was clear that if you look at the current, the father of them, the government that we had in the, in germany after the 2nd world war was usually mostly the conservative c, d, u, together with the liberal business friendly f t p perhaps and, and, and later in later stages, yet a little bit more of the social democrats, especially on america with 3 grand coalitions. so right now we're having the situation where everyone has more or less the same in all the same and pulling her lashes. who had this disastrous campaign, as tom pointed out who's very unpopular infect among people who had this full par. for instance, where we had to flop catastrophe in germany with almost 200 people killed. and he

was caught in the sidelines of a press conference smiling. and really having a hearty joke and that really didn't farewell and then he turned around very often had a lot of you turns in his policies and so on and so forth. so that really makes him the unlikely candidate. but in recent days, i have to say that he's, he's kept up and is getting closer to his contender of the social democrats. so it can be very interesting. yeah, it's, it's, if a heard you feel what back from the global state angle and marco have a very distinct presence. who for those 4 candidates that we looked at, do you feel could, could actually have a group presence on the international that's a really good question. i mean, i think what we almost know for certain and not to be pessimistic here, but germany is going to lose some of insurance and some of the power on the global stage with marika leading because and that's not just down to what i think it's a relative weakness of the candidate that also that she had 16 years of experience,

16 years of grip on both the national system and also international system within europe. with the global states, she had relationships she had influence. but also because, and it's unfortunate about the german electrons that they don't lend themselves very well to theater after the election. you don't really know who the chancellor will have months, probably be of clinician negotiations and then we're likely to end up with a quite recommended coalition between the parties that might not really agree on foreign policy. so we're almost taken to be a bit weaker on the world stage afterwards. i think that and i think that the above had a very strong pitch on foreign policy. and she did very well in the global audience . i mean, she was dining out of washington when she came here in the spring, but it's unlikely that she will be champs there, between lashes and shows. i have to go with what i think is good. i'm a severe fan. you're calling the election. you are. i'm calling who will be the

most respected with age and i think okay, just a different type of chem. alright, that's a better chance, but i am a bit like the economists, which is that they have think embraced charles, but the most lackluster embrace. i think that's about right. i think there's something to add which is a particular kind of europeans i mention on this, which is my, my impression is that although as we were saying before, i think german will be sad to see anglo merkel, the she remains very, very popular. i think much of the rest of europe is not just sad, but actually very nervous about the prospect of seeing them up when you, because you can look back at the law of the 1516 years that she's been in office. she has been at the heart of everything that europe has done and she's for, she's really strong relationship. she absolutely placed germany at the heart of europe that could any european country and their strongest relationship in most

cases with germany. when she's gong, there isn't going to be anybody else in europe who can fill that void and manual my crime doesn't enjoy the same sort of trust continence from other places. married a drug, a prime minister, eventually it's liked and respected, but justly doesn't have the same cloud to jeremy doug. because whoever the next german charter is going to at the very least, need a good amount of time. it's kind of get their feet on to the death. so there's going to be a boy at the heart of europe and people are quite nervous about that. all right, guess i have the same any questions and thoughts from you for i live you chief audience. i'm going to throw them out to you. i want to instant reaction, but not the analysis but instant got reaction back. all of his looking at me. all right, kimberly, i'm going to work is one of the chi. she is a powerful woman. she, she doesn't know who can replace her. is that a feeling that you're also getting from the german public as your junior reporting? well, i don't know the question. she doesn't know who to be, who to replace. she doesn't,

she doesn't know yet. i think the idea is she can't conceive the could possibly replace with somebody will. obviously she's been out in the streets supporting lots of course in recent days because she sees that, that is not moving the way she wants to. but it's certainly big footsteps, you know, and the big question of course, is the, the stability one, will the next government and be as stable as the one before. that's what people wonder, right now. what's gonna happen? you know, this is such a long time, 16 years. i mean, i was like, i just came out of university when uncle american took, it took office for the 1st time. a lot of people have never, you know, the younger folks have never seen anything. anyone else empower? let me big deal. let me bring in another comment. this one's from home is on you. she's thank you for being part of the shows. they fear this one is for you foreign policy. how does germany intend to position itself towards china? russia, given the recent i u. k. u s. street yeah. security alliance, the street, the u. k. united states alliance. this is a quick one of the,

the quick question. yes. that's the transatlantic relationship. yes. so really briefly, i think i'm trying to go see some change in germany, no matter who comes into the office because the german consensus of china is changing from a really mercantilist approach. a bit naive perhaps trying to include china and the global system to a more confrontational approach closely, and i think itself, but the us and russia, they are going to be continuity. i think not seem to have done that. the issue that everyone talks about, that sort of done the sanctions at the heart of germany, russia, policy and they will likely continue again. and each chapter defend spending is the one that people tend to tend to talk about globally. and there i can only say that no german particularly fund the 2 percent defense spending go so very likely to see disappointing results for those who are hoping for more there. i think the question mentioned the office back the last couple of last couple of weeks. germany has been

pretty quiet and that's there. they don't fall in line with the french pitch for european sovereignty as opposed to the close tribe authentic relationship. and putting this in very simple terms. they're really keen to maintain a close relationship with us and not to get too involved in conflict with us in the end of us. i think, i guess one more thing to do was definitely got the value from you today. as that is a key issue that focus will be voting on. this is what steph and told us earlier. tom come off the back of this video immediately with what you believe is a key issue. the voters will be contemplating as they go to the post on sunday, 1st, defend the number one issue. the german public is concerned with in this journal election is according to the pause the climate crisis. we've had a major flash slamming event with $170.00 fatalities. and tens of billions of years

of damage in west germany this summer. that's in line with a general increase in extreme precipitation on a warming planet. together of course, with increase teach ways draw a strong target cycle and then so on. and almost all parties in german parliament pay lip service to the $1.00 degrees centigrade goal of the parents climate agreement. but not all of them as a viable policy for what is a fair contribution of germany to this area agreement. i mean, you're talking to a climate research, maybe it wasn't surprising that he said the climate is going to be very important. but he's right. i mean, we were saying before that this campaign isn't really about anything, but to the extent that it's focused on any particular policy areas. climates is definitely close to the top of the list, maybe at the top of the list, and then have a times that actually some quite rich,

substantial debates on of between the parties on how they would hope to lead germany towards what a now actually quite ambitious emission reduction targets by 2030, and 2045. for me. the frustrating thing has been that while there's been lots of talk about, you know, to what extent you have to regulate versus leave it to the market. to what extent german industries going to be able to make the transition, what it's doing now is what it needs to do in the future. it's been completed almost completely divorced from the global context and germany, responsible for about 2 percent of global carbon emissions. what it does is important, and it's important the euro most important to europe is important to the world that, that stuff you haven't really heard about in this debate. it is, if you know germany consult with global climate crisis when it's done. all right, i'm going to give you 11 thought, hey oliver, cuz we're almost at the shop. want to fix that for you in as well. once also what we influencing german focuses on sunday. one thought, i think like the she pointed it out to him as it's climate change is above all very

important topic. and it's what's interesting is that, that you have now the green party coming also strong. they were all stealing a little bit from the green party because they are more or less on the same page when it comes to climate change and certainly different shades, but are all moving in the same direction. the fear. so judging from the past what a german voters care about in the privacy of the election to stability, they've been conservative for years. small see conservative. the question is whether the current of people globally and in germany and 5th climate crisis has actually made a change in the german connected mind to vote more for a sort of future program for germany. or if they were going to go back to vote for a stability center, the guess. thank you so much. the fear and tom and oliver for giving us the well

when trip around next. some of the candidates. so it was a thinking from germany how, how other, the thing journey from outside germany as well. really appreciate it. it's a great primary for sunday that was so you here on my laptop where you can actually follow our gas, don't you? rather news is all of as outlets. sophia is here at at sophia bash, and tom, tom, natalie, tom underscore, nato. you can follow, come and see how he is reporting. as the fear is that she talking about germany past and post angela merkel and how butcher valet is as well, thank you for your questions. they were excellent. i will see you next time. take everybody. ah

ah ah ah ah, i, i've never seen so much devastation or experienced how quickly everything can change. as one of ours and the events in india became much more than just story. one was the thing. we couldn't keep the people we cared about in line. and there were times on when i had to hold back

every day i was driven to convey the connect of trauma to make sure that despite the high numbers, we didn't forget that every single dance representative families in the worst moment, helen suffering could have been avoided. i became a journalist to tell the story of what is happening, but also shows the wider context. i'm elizabeth koran i on the streets of grief, an immigrant violence is on the rise. they're all you have to go from. i will tell them that this is from foxes and increasingly migrant farm workers of victims of vicious beatings. jo reed is helping the pakistani community to find a voice. the stories we don't often hear told by the people who live them undocumented and under attack. this is europe on al jazeera.

oh, be the hero, the world. ah, marsha, in, ah, hello am learn tater in london. the top stories on our 0 that whitehouse says horses will no longer be used by us border patrol after officers use the horses rains against haitian migrants, images captured biologists. era and roaches. earlier this week showed us border agents on horseback trying to force people back as they entered, attempted to enter the country. the us border control chief described their actions as unacceptable. us special envoy, the haiti has resigned over what he calls the inhumane treatment of haitian migrants by the us government.
