this is the detainees live from berlin chancellor merkel names her new cabinet the german chancellor surrounds herself with french fries and then sitting at how can this job for one of her most prominent critic look at the latest live from the conservative party headquarters in berlin also coming up. no rest fight in syria just spicy unanimous u.n. votes for us these fires the bombs keep it was raining down on the people of eastern cuba. and as the curtain closes on the berlin film festival actor bill

murray picks up the best director award for his friends where i understand and it's a prize winner maybe a director i did it in t.v. takes home the golden bear for her pelham terms we know. you're a man. i'm honors on a welcome to the program well german chancellor angela merkel has announced her cabinets to solidify a grand coalition with the social democrats merkel's choices that will determine the future direction of the cd used political compass and several senior politicians in her party have been outspoken about wanting to pivot the parsis politics to the rice that was no surprise that murtha appointed. health minister although the ambitious young conservative has been an outspoken critic of her welcoming refugee policy the choice will appease calls for. fresh talent in the

party as will the appointment of that unit for minister of agriculture at the forty five year old is known as a loyal ally of merkel and another ally the currents defense minister fonda line will keep her position that's to spice a series of scandals in the blondest fair well let's join me can occur for ninety w.'s chief political editor at headquarters in berlin and the chancellor has just confirmed that there will be some new faces in the government can we expect any real change in merkel's policy with these new addition. well she's certainly opened up slightly she's given up on two very loyal allies that were with her for many many years have on good health minister his pose for a cus you the conservative sister party in bavaria it's leader hall c.e.o. for taking over the interior ministry so this one signal there's one signal that

i'm going to merkel is opening up also to critics who have a base to have support within the c.d.u. party and the person who fired by you and spawn at the same time she rewards allies like peter meyer the current interim finance minister before that her chief of staff for their loyalty so that's the message coming out of this that merkel may be looking more ass transition phase also herself with those discussions that we saw over recent months and particular those last weeks over how much clout she still has within her own party. definitely some very difficult decisions that she's had to take why it would she give and spoken critique of her refugee policy a job in her cabinet what's the reasoning behind that. womack of herself it appears is also looking beyond her own tenure in power there's

no doubt about her most likely seeing her last time being the german chancellor that if the social democrats vote yes in their party base vote that's still coming up so and at the same time she is recognising that she's no longer the teflon mirco that she has to take criticism from within her part own party seriously and that they no longer is a strict kind of rewards top down kind of giving out of posts i think that's really the shift that we've seen. seen here with this appointment of gin spawn to the cabinet to at the same time of course has been seen as someone who's very competent and who has a track record in health politics within the c.d.u. party. do you feel that this choice by the weekend chancellor is the signal as a shift to the rice for merkel c.d.u. party. i think that would be overstating this this is

if there's one thing she's been criticized for by conservative cuts within her own party is that she is alleged to have taken her policy more towards the center that's something the social democrats have also been complaining about so if anything this is setting a signal that conservative voices are still being heard and can occur there thank you for the us. of a place where christians believe jesus was crucified and buried has a close image a rather with israeli authorities the church of the whole east africa show its doors on sunday at caesar's are protesting legislation that would tax church assets and allow the state to seize church property they called is an unprecedented attack against christians in the holy land no word with given on how long the closure will last. chancellor angela merkel and france's president. have urged
