in many languages there is a on if for the program we go in there it will be show you have your kids show them with us our innovations magazine for. us from every week and ways of looking to the future from d.w. dot com science and research for. this is due to the news life from the far right is with the power struggle within germany's alternative for germany party delegates the votes for a new hardline leadership bought their congress in the northern city of hot over

what does this mean for the country and the party that could become the main opposition and germany's parliament also calling up. two female suicide bombers targeted a market in a town in northeastern nigeria we ask our correspondent why militants appear to be increasingly using women to carry out such attacks. and tis the season to rock open war and we take a look at christmas traditions in various parts of the world including in one of the coldest places on earth. i'm donald thanks for joining us well germany's populist and immigration party has elected new leadership in what could signal a further shift to the rise for the alternative for germany may they chose a right wing nationalist alexandr got. and as one of the co-leaders during

a party conference in the german city of han over run for the post at the last minute after another more moderate candidate fails to win a no votes. well for more on this now i'm going to cross over to our correspondent who is at the party conference in hanover with that this move does that mean that the f.t. are moving even further to the right under this new lineup. yes certainly it's refused to build a fort fire will towards the rights the extreme right in the posse there's a man called john hooker he doesn't really have much of an official function at the national level but he's the man who said things like the holocaust memorial in berlin being a monument to say he wants to rethink german history and now two of his backers are at the very top of the party and having defeated as somebody who's more moderate the lynn leader of the party who really wanted to have

a discussion on how far right this party should be shifting and whether it shouldn't get ready for some kind of government that really was beaten down here to the surprise of many people in the room even so once again the party has shifted to the right and it signaling quite clearly that without the right wing extremist power block in the party nothing here could get done. but there is the quietest place in the party how divided or united do they stand at this conference. absolutely there was a very divisive spirit here in the room when those votes came in and their first was a split in two rounds of voting between this more moderate and the more right wing camp and that highlights what kind of split there is in this party it's also a rift between east and west to a certain degree and it is something that really calls for more discussion but the

noises we're hearing from alexander garland who already is the leader of the parliamentary group now is also the leader of the party is that he doesn't really want that he wants to unite the party he wants to build a strong opposition but that is a contradiction contradiction in terms because the two different factions are very far apart here. the f.t. could be called the largest opposition party in the bundestag how could they push how could that happen and how could they push their policies forward. well this could happen if. fails in her current bid to continue the so-called grand coalition with the social democrats she very much wants to do that if that were to be the case the a.f.d. with its thirteen percent in parliament would be the largest opposition group it would have the first right of reply so it would become even more important what kind of tone the a.f.d.

is introducing on it already introduced a much more aggressive tone and there would also be many key positions in different parliamentary committees going to the alternative for germany and that is very much matters what the people at the top us currently see the a.f.d. in opposition in the long term so we can expect some very tough rhetoric there indeed we can occur flare there at the f.t. party conference in hanover thank you. at least thirteen people have been killed in two suicide bombings in northern nigeria play say two female suicide bombers blew themselves up in the town of borno state one struck at the town's busy market spiller detonated her explosives in the town square no one has claimed responsibility but previous attacks in the area have been carried out by the militant group boko. as you heard there the bombers were female we asked our correspondent in nigeria young philip shelves if militants are increasingly using

women to carry out suicide attacks definitely so it has become a very common tactic to use women often even teenagers or even children i think there are several reasons for this first of all usually they cause less suspicion even though this has changed a bit and months after the rise of of those attacks but it's also quite simple to highlight the explosive devices underneath the outskirts of the women and we also have to mention that those women usually don't carry out the attacks militarily but they are forced to do so by by the group we have to keep in mind that local sources say that still several thousand women and children kidnapped by boko haram. reporting for us from nigeria and moving on to some of the other stories making news around the world. china has kicked off its
