africa let me not take a look at some other stories making news around the british police say at least four people were killed in an explosion in the city of leicester in central england seven more were injured in the blast which hit a three story building that house an apartment and a shop authorities say there's no indication the explosion was linked to terrorism . christian leaders in jerusalem have closed the church of the holy sepulcher for a second day in protest over a new israeli taxation and a proposed law to expropriate land sold by churches the church of the holy several built on the site where christians believe jesus was crucified and buried. hundreds of people have protested in seoul against a visit by north korean officials the head of the delegation is accused of orchestrating the sinking of the south korean navy ship in two thousand and ten which killed forty six sailors the north korean delegation was in the country to

attend sunday's olympic closing ceremony and kyung chung. kinship america c.d.u. party conventions on the way her conservatives will vote on the coalition agreement with the center left social democrats both parties need to approve the deal before the new government can be formed the c.d.u. delegates are expected to support the deal by a wide margin ahead of the convention mechelle had named picks for a potential new cabinet calling it a new start for the cd you bought half of the positions are slated to be held by women and against spawn a champion of the party's right will also be part of a cabinet he's considered a shop critic of matters refugee policy. joining me now from the city you can mention is did obvious political editor michelle of course know highly surely you have one of the people but to potentially be in. new cabinet.

absolutely in fact journalists offenses so often the line joins me now and you out one example together with the chancellor of the continuation of a potential new cabinet if the social democrats agree to it german chancellor also merkel took on code one of her harshest critics within the party did she have to or did she wants to she wanted to she is free to decide and she wanted to take a very different friendship and it set off a set up of people into her cabinet more women younger ones own different much directions we have in the party so it was good to see that this is a broad approach to have a representation of the different tendencies we do have in the party what age is consent and what gender is concerned does this mark a shift more to the conservative rightist count within the party back to that conservative group that many have criticized the shots for longer having continued

having shifted too far to the said hello no i think. what it shows is that our party consists alpha has three roots it's the conservative one of course it's also the christian liberal and social one so these roots are each one is important and we will not be a large party a party and party we don't do not respect all three different groups within our party so if you look at the set up of the cabinet. each route is represented and this is good now of what does this mean for germany's external relations also in terms of security if there is a continuation of the so-called ground coalition does it all stay the same or will it feel different to international partners as well because our environment changes so much and because of the security situation is as it is and of course there is

the need for modernization within the economy. things will not stay as they are but we are forced to adapt to the changes around us in other words we have to modernize a lot within the economic sector mainly the topic digitalisation is the big topic we have to care for external international security staff it was good that we created for example the european defense union to build on that now and we have to make sure that our society it is strong and keeping all different sources together therefore it is a huge investment in the coalition treated in the families with children for example because this is the basic of. now you've always been seen as someone who is a potential successor to german chancellor angela merkel if this doesn't vote this vote doesn't come together with the social democrats if this grand coalition doesn't come together would you potentially be part of a plan b.

. the chancellor will be the one who will lead us in a potential plan b. and i have always said. that in each generation but it is a chance to lead my generation it is i. was up on the line thank you very much for the interview on fox in the studio and i've been so delighted me to look if the at the seaview convention going on in berlin thank you very much and thank you also the defense minister it was up on the line. here people in rome woke up to a rest no four today and optics still fall single europe has sent temperatures plunging around the continent and blanketed that italian capital in quite the few centimeters of snow is rather unusual for rome the men closed the schools as a precaution and there is also some disruption to calm sports services as you can see some truth and took the opportunity to have a bit of fun the last significance because it's a the scottish in two thousand and twelve.
