this is a doubly news live from the beginning of the end of the era germany's chancellor rules out standing for another term i'm happy with also resigned as head of her conservative party disasters returns for how governing coalition in two recent regional elections pushed the chancellor towards the exit after more than a decade in power also on the program. no sign of survivors rescue workers in indonesia locate dead brain and human remains but none of the one hundred ninety nine people on board the crash to live their flight.

i'm still going to welcome to the program. germany's angela merkel has announced that she will relinquish the leadership of the party in december and step out of chancellor at the next election the move follows disastrous results for conservatives in recent state elections chancellor merkel has dominated german politics for more than a decade but has been under siege domestically since last year's national elections . an earthquake a bombshell a day of destiny there's been no shortage of drastic descriptions. announcement. s. is. firstly at the coming c.d.u. party conference in december i have decided not to run again for c.d.u. party leader and secondly this fourth term is my last as chancellor of germany.

at the election in twenty twenty one i won't run again and see the chancellor candidate it nor will i run for a seat in parliament nor will i seek any other political office of its own polluters and sleep. merkel has previously said that the two jobs chancellor and party leader should go together but after eighteen years heading the christian democrats the moment has come where she feels she can only do one of them. a disastrous results in the election in her search should be seen as an opportunity for the whole government to change merkel said above all the cooperation between christian democrats and social democrats needs to improve. for their part merkel's s.p.d. coalition partners are also licking their wounds after a terrible result in sunday's regional vote their leader andrea knowledges whose

future in the job has also been questioned it was clear that lessons have to be learned at national level. he didn't fret so we are absolutely determined to ensure that we can continue our work in the coalition it needs more commitments and margit stimulation to leave behind the problems of the past few months. opposition parties are already seizing their chance to capitalize on medicals weakness. america is giving up the wrong job this won't make government more stable it will merely slow the death of the coalition. for long. but the much diminished grand coalition will limp along for now with a severely weakened chancellor at its head who will follow her a c.d.u. leader several candidates have already thrown their hats into the ring there could yet be a public battle for the soul of the c.d.u.

for now merkel's tone remains thoughtful and sober as ever but as the chancellor spoke it was impossible not to feel that slowly she is giving up power yeah. it has always been my wish to carry out my state and party judi's with dignity and one day to leave them with dignity but i know that in politics this cannot always happen in a plan the way i split the plan. that is the measure of merkel way of saying i may not be chancellor for very much longer. so a month in german and indeed european politics let's turn to don't you chief political correspondent i'm going to cry and welcome but i. will start with the chances conservative party look at the german coalition so let's start with the conservative party stepping down as chair what does that mean it could to give them a chance to begin governing proactively rather than reactively and to begin

disentangling their fate and their future from that the person of the chancellor and also from the past because she has come to be very very controversial including within her own party for the decision that she took in two thousand and fifteen to admit hundreds of thousands of refugees to germany and whatever you think about that decision the fact is that there has been bitter bitter strife within her party and in particular with its bavarian sister party the c.s.u. in regard to that decision and that has overshadowed many of the party's other topics there are other accomplishments and so essentially this is a potential restart for them to get refocused on the work and on the future ok and for this shaky coalition that has limped along since the start of this year what does losing this chancellor mean similarly it could be

a kind of shock therapy it could be a catalyst for a restart for everybody to get focused are on the work of governing certainly that's what the chancellor had in mind she said as she made her announcement that the image that this government is conveying is absolutely in acceptable that's those are strong words from uggla machall so clearly she is hoping that again by taking her person and her past decisions out of the equation to some degree she then allows the coalition to get back down to business and the fact is they have been passing legislative initiatives. with important socio economic consequences in the area of health care in the area of pensions and in the area of early childhood education all of those are achievements that are scarce lisi in the voters see this government as completely self-absorbed as riven by internal divisions and the voters in bavaria and in the state of hessen have sent

a very clear message saying they're sick of the divisions and just just to be clear chancellor merkel stepping down as party leader in december and the chancellor in twenty twenty one so we'll still see a bit of a yet unless she gets overtaken by events as we all must. so we're looking at a sea change that in german politics that this and of a merkel era absolutely it is a historic moment there's no question whatsoever she was the first woman to head a major party she has headed the c.d.u. for eighteen years she's been governing for over ten years she is a very very important figure in german politics the big question for the last six months has basically been is she going to go as a victim of a disorderly messy transition or is she going to take her own fate and thereby also her legacy into her own hands and leave in an orderly fashion and with dignity certainly this indicates the latter so that's one aspect what follows this and of

course is change poses the implicit question will this also mark a kind of a change in german politics will we see a turn to something different we simply can't say yet it depends very much on who succeeds her as head of the party on who succeeds her as chancellor on what various other political actors do so an open question on that but certainly this is a historic moment ok let's look at the runners and riders and as far as the replacement as leader of the c.d.u. goes we look at several. different hats already was thrown into the ring quite diverse in fact a person many view as the favorite to follow her up would be her designated successor essentially and a great come caught on by where she is known as a moderate much of the chancellor's persuasion centrist liberal that's one then there are two men whose names are being mentioned one of them has said he

definitely is a candidate that's he is the health minister at the moment he has young he has been viewed as very conservative almost nationally consumed nationalistic lee conservative but he's been undergoing a sort of a self directed transformation lately to something a little bit more compassionate a little bit more socially oriented perhaps because he very much would like to be chancellor that's one person third person hasn't confirmed get that he's a candidate for this position but his name is being mentioned fleet dismounts he was an old rival of the chancellor's she pushed him out of power he is nonetheless a leading figure in the conservative party known as being very close to business he's had a very important position as a lawyer for the last eight years or so and he would definitely take the party in a business friendly direction so those are the three hard to say where this is going in the us we will talk about this more and more i'm sure in the coming weeks
