4:02 pm
a routine appointment for a german foreign minister but first. things are anything but routine right now the meeting with his boss the and counterpart igor it's are not uk on wednesday was his last official international engagement. and gabriele has been germany's foreign minister for just over a year during that time he became the country's most popular politician beating chancellor merkel and future economics minister paid to ugh my own opinion polls he earned much respect for his work for example his handling of strange german turkish relations often that his turkish counterpart. and invited him to his home as he worked to get german journalists and human rights activists released and he succeeded in part some of the prisoners were freed. but there's another side to seek mangano he is notoriously independent and volatile for example one of the munich security conference was taking place he broke ranks and appealed for sanctions against russia to be lifted following a cease fire in eastern ukraine. in the minds of. those i'm
4:03 pm
convinced that if we succeed in this then we must begin to gradually lift the sanctions i know that the official position on this is different and. more importantly irritated members of his own party the s.p.d. he even attacked then party leader martin schultz personally which many in his party found an forgivable above all his relationship with future party leader unclear novelis this viewed as dysfunctional. now media reports say his successor will be heikal must the previous justice minister. is playing down the loss of his position when asked how he feels about leaving he had positive words but it could be said that ritual will feel it's the he won't vent his stint if it's true that heigl moss will be the new foreign minister and i have a really good feeling he'll do an excellent job i'm also fine. just take care.

of. our political correspondent joins us now from our parliamentary syria was ok this is a man who ruffled a lot of feathers and burned a couple of bridges on his way out. he said they did and despite gaining much respect for his work as germany's foreign minister they say it was all forgotten in recent weeks by the s.p.d. ready this was due to the breakdown of a friendship between haiti and the former s.p.d. leader martin schultz and you might remember that when the grand coalition deal between the social democrats and locals conservatives was first agreed martin schultz said that he'd be vying for the position of foreign minister but gabriele responded saying this was a broken promise as you might remember back in september immediately after the german elections elections schultz actually said that he would never take a ministerial post and
4:05 pm
a medical led government and so gabriele responded actually even quoting his daughter in which he said that she had told him daddy don't worry now we can spend more time together and you won't have to spend so much time with the man with the hairy face and this comment was regarded by the s.p.d. as something which disqualified gabriele from being able to continue to hold his place as foreign minister so now he will just be serving as a normal member of the german parliament kit what does this leave his exit mean for germany's foreign policy. well gabriele was a very straight talking foreign minister which isn't always the case with people in that post so be it very interesting to see how his successor deals particularly with turkey and it will be a big challenge and he did gain a lot of respect only in germany abroad for his work as the german foreign minister and this comes at a time when there's real pressure on germany particularly in europe to really stand
4:06 pm

4:07 pm
difficult to tell at the moment of course we've never seen him in dealing with foreign policy so we'll just have to wait and see while have to wait and see time will tell kate brady thank you so much. all right and in other news danish inventor peter mattson has denied killing swedish journalist ken wall and his much anticipated murder trial that opened in denmark today well wall disappeared last august after boarding a submarine belonging to mattson intended to profile him but never returned her headless torso was later found in copenhagen harbor prosecutors are seeking to have mass and jailed for life he says she died in an accident but has admitted to dismembering walls body before dumping her parts of her body in the sea. her killing shocked the world prosecutors say swedish journalist kim wald died under her retic circumstances. inventor peter madsen invited her to interview him
