this is the news live from berlin on the macro presents her new cabinet choices i hand-picked team of rivals the german chancellor moving to deflect criticism from within her party that the leadership is too old and too out of touch she's named a young outspoken critic for a top post also coming up. a deadly campaign of airstrikes continues in eastern about despite a u.n. demand for a cease fire on one of syria's most deadly fronts. and

a week after an islamist attack on a school in northern nigeria more than one hundred schoolgirls are still missing we'll have an exclusive report on how one family is desperately trying to find their daughter. i brought in thomas a very warm welcome to the show german chancellor on the macro has presented her picks for top post in the country's possible future government macros looking to solidify support for a hard for grand coalition deal up for a vote by her conservatives later today but merkel also still needs the final approval from her possible coalition partners the social democrats now as she waits the green light from both camps the chancellor has moved to heed her party's call for a new direction and new younger faces. after weeks of speculation

and rumor around the new c.d.u. cabinet chancellor merkel says she's blending fresh faces with wise heads. it's been a moment the i instigated at the moment i'm the only one he's past the age of sixty all others a younger and some very much younger than this and with this team we cannot tackle the challenges of the future and there are many. in a grand coalition. would lead the ministry of economic affairs and or. would remain minister of defense the new minister of agriculture would be yulia click now perhaps the biggest surprise is un spawn poised to take the health ministry check would head up education and research it was the inclusion of one of america's most prominent critics an ambitious young conservative that raised eyebrows does mention spawn is not the only one that makes critical comments that's fine we are here to

build a better germany i believe he wants to contribute to that just like all other cabinet members. that's ok now inside the tent chan watched from the wings quietly for now. spawn is not alone in his criticism of the chancellor joining us now in the studio did have your political correspondence i'm young good morning simon what does it look like does the appointment of the spawn mean that is moving this party to the right. well i mean he's a noted conservative and he's been a critic of. particularly on the migration issue so she needs to include the right wing of her party and of course there have been grumblings for a long time from some within her party that sheens. did thoughts of the left that she feels too comfortable. in coalition with the social democrats so

obviously these ideas are coming up again right now with the prospect of another grand coalition which he formed at some point in the next week. and you know that's why i think you're seeing the chancellor moving this no conservative he stands for those sort of tough tough alone on on the immigration question the question in particular and position ok if you think in spawn could be the next leader of a conservative government well he's supposed merkel of germany yeah i mean that's right we've got it we've got to wait several years anglo-american says that she's going to. lead the government through this next legislative period for the next four years but after the been a lot of talk about you know has she done enough to put anyone in position to take over from her. spawn is known to be ambitious and you know it's

a rattling the gates of the jones larry and but we've seen it before you know fonda line who is who is going to remain in her job as defense minister she was one time just a few years ago sort of constantly mentioned is the person likely to take over the reins when medical leaves. seems to have faded a little bit so you know don't count him out but don't count too many as two are lawyers and ok now the delegates here in berlin one thousand senior delegates are expected to approve the coalition deal later today how much closer this is the big question is germany right now to getting a new government after almost five months after elections well you know you've got half the cabinet and these are just the conservative ministers that the medical has power to cheese the other half the government the social democrat half would still have to be named but the fate of the government is. is it going to happen or not

that really is in the hands of the s.p.d. membership they're voting down by post their decision will be revealed on sunday so we have to wait a few more days but that i'm afraid as far as the conservatives are concerned they're holding their conference today it's a conference of delegates and it's pretty clear that they are going to give their approval for another grand coalition conservatives and ok all of those delegates have expressed their concern that the party has been leaking voters to the far right if the the alternative for germany. could these new cabinet picks especially ends on really a sure some of those lost voters and have them move back from the a.f.p. to the c.d.u. well that could happen that could happen if if there's a change of position on the migration question you're going to have a tough new interior minister a figure not seen here in the full of course the whole as interior and homeland

minister you know he has a newly named position is a home that's right been included i think is in part to appeal to those a.f.d. voters who are worried about you know changes to to german society they're coming in as a result of migrants arriving so you know if you see a change in position on that policy then that may draw some of those voters back to the concert some hymns or some thanks very much. well the german chancellor and the french president among whom mccraw have urged russia to cooperate in imposing a ceasefire in the rebel held unplayed of eastern ghouta now they've urged president putin to put maximum pressure on syria over the weekend the u.n. security council passed a cease fire resolution but despite that vote deadly airstrikes by russian backed syrian forces continue. there was supposed to be a break in the bombing and stayed the stone gets his first responders are back

plucking life from the rubble it has been a long and day at least we can this rebel held enclave. and at this hospital doctors are seeing the washed of it most of their patients some grew up in a seven year war medical supplies are running out now for these children any truth cannot come soon enough this is a matter of life or death every hour counts at the moment and if the cease fire has been agreed at the u.n. security council there's no reason why it should be able to come into effect immediately. the longer this goes on without people getting food and medicine with the bombing going north every day we see more schools hospitals destroyed so that the. girls on the more children will die. for seven days the syrian regime has been bombarding the suburb of the capital trying to wipe out the rebels who control it.

just a few kilometers along the road to damascus it feels like a different planet. once looked like this. street speak to a fear of mortar shells fired from the nearby a rebels. in a well managed it or since mortar started to hit the area no one has been on the street and if you find anyone they're probably going only to do something very important or to buy stuff. in downtown damascus signs of life but let's all hope that a truce will end this war. the truce is useless i mean after thirty days everything will return to the way it was whatever happens it is a chance for vital supplies to reach their cities desperately hungry and it's injured. well the man who was once the head of syria's main kurdish political party the p y d has been arrested in prague on

a turkish arrest warrant ankara considers all of muslims party an offshoot of the outlawed p k k a group accused of running a decade last week he was here at g.w. spoke with my colleague sarah kelly about whether his party had any links to the p.k. k. turkey's outlawed kurdish movement. i let's just ask you turkey says that the why peachey and that the people that these are terrorist organizations. they say that they are no different from the p.k. which we know that many governments around the world have classified as a terrorist organization the links are strong aren't they know it's not true and then we have you yourself though once with the p.k. no i was with them and you know they were in so doing libya was in the end and you know if you want to use it that then nothing to do with it why is it then

that was a muslim the former leader of the main syrian turkish political party the p.y.g. was speaking with us last week so a muslim was arrested in prague on sunday at the request of turkey you can watch the entire interview with him on our website that state of you dot com let's go now live to our correspondent a lot of there from building burg he's in the syrian town of bani salim muslim's hometown of lot of mir what have been the reactions in kabbani where you are to his arrest in prague while most of the reactions are there at this sort of idea of unbelief they are like us in the like how is it that you're going to allow those that they can to arrest the kurdish leader although salim was them very vocal role in reading more support for the fight against isis and obama for instance so that the people here kurds there are bit upset also because turkey is now attacking a free and i don't see much. of a nation from the west ok well what type of reputation does he have there is he

believed to have links as turkey is claiming to kurdish fighters inside syria. well i mean turkey itself was them himself went to turkey to negotiate about the norden syria so they also invited him if they were thinking he was a fighter it wouldn't have invited him or he needs a politician and he's an engineer and he's been a sort of the face of the syrian kurds for the last three years until he stepped down so he has no links to any fighting and actually turkey is accusing him of carrying out being involved in the bombing and really solid muslim has no military role so i think positions off fabricated but of course now they're also in their attacks and after they want to have some destruction by showing that france is they arrested the kurdish leader and that's why they're asking for the extradition ok is that what you think is behind his arrest why the change on him in

turkish policy well i'm in southern muslim has been on this interpol arrest warrant for a long time but no european county has acted on that and the signal with the tensions brewing over at three and turkey's attacking us three. turkey doesn't like saddam will simply go in european capitals and talk about civilians being killed they want to keep it silent and this is one of the reasons why now they're trying to put more pressure on western governments do debate see arrest saddam was in because they don't want people to talk about the effort and they want to keep it completely silent against saddam muslim most recently in capital ok what about where you are how of kurds in syria in reacting to the turkish military presence in the region. they're being very upset because now they see that civilians are being killed in our stream and there's not much response from it from the west for instance the west is always talking about the fighting should stop in ghouta but

they're not talking about africa where the same is happening so i talked to one of the military spokespersons and he said for instance ok russia is responsible for the killing in. but also it's responsible for the killing in. in africa why nobody do something so that people are very upset that there's not a lot of pressure to stop this turkish attacks and if it wishes to be safe for as our correspondent let him if and bill ginsburg is in the syrian town of bani right now for us thanks very much you're welcome and we have some of the other stories making the news at this hour students have is that are there high school in parklane florida for the first time since the shooting there many hours to remember the seventeen who were killed in the attack at the marjory stoneman douglas high school classes at the school or since resume on wednesday. police in britain say at least four people were killed in an explosion in the city of leicester in central england several more were injured in that blast which occurred at
