this. from berlin tonight europe's political leaders says the time has come for change german chancellor angela merkel says this is her fourth and final term in office. today also announced that she will resign as head of her conservative c.d.u. party at the end of the year disastrous regional election results are just one factor forcing the chancellor to plan her departure after more than a decade in power also coming up no sign of survivors rescue workers in indonesia

locate debris and human remains but none of the one hundred eighty nine people on board that crashed. and brazilian voters choose a populist of president votes and south america's biggest country is sharply divided over the election of a former soldier torture advocate and they self professed homophobe. it's good to have you with us tonight we know when the air of america is scheduled to end germany's chancellor merkel today announced that she will relinquish the leadership of her party in december and step down as chancellor at the next election now the move follows disastrous results for her conservatives in recent state elections she's been at the forefront of german politics for almost two

decades but she has been under siege domestically ever since last year's national elections. an earthquake a bombshell a day of destiny there's been no shortage of drastic descriptions for angle america's announcement. essence. 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 a cd chancellor candidate nor will i run for a seat in parliament nor will i seek any other political office. 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 result in the election in hesse or 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 was also being 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. for gun rights and. opposition parties are already seizing their chance to capitalize on medicals weakness. but not cricket 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 to tade who will follow her a c.d.u. leader several candidates have already thrown their hats into the ring they 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 yagni i'm not convinced 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 planned way i split the plan. that is the measured manacled way of

saying i may not be chancellor for very much longer. or joining me tonight is really good cruiser he's a member of the german parliament and he's a member of miracles conservative c.d.u. party mr bruce it's good to have you on the show the news today from america was registered as a political earthquake around the world what was it like in the c.d.u. party headquarters were people shocked. surprised. because after this election. it was not necessary as a step because at the end we did win the election of was very harmful but we did win the election so of us no reason for doing this so how do you explain that if you won the regional elections last last night why why is your chance there saying that she needs to go because this is a moment of free will so this is a free decision and if you lose the election. then you decide to

resign and people say ok your forced out of office but now it is for you well to say ok i take the step now because i believe it's necessary of that the party or the news itself. take a listen to what the president of the german parliament will functionally blood had to say today he is also of course the former german finance minister he was asked about therefore the decision to take a look he's wanted in these thronged both together and therefore i would i would not be. so decided she has announced she will not run again that is an important step to to announce that i think she is a good turns and we believe will be created in my party that we've been known to be we do what we can to avoid it's the business of lame duck. ok to see thesis she's wounded but they're going to do everything to avoid the lame duck syndrome is

a miracle a lame duck that we're after today's announcement. this is not america and so the rule of the tons was not so powerful as for example microphones rule and in france . a much more depends on all the others in the parliament if the power of the parliament is much higher than the parliament in france for example so this decision as one decision we all did know is that this will be her last chance of so now we have a chance as a party because we want to continue to govern germany because we as a christian democrats still have something to do for this country so it's important to have someone new to present him or her for the next election if you will that person be yeah this is interesting most people said yeah there's nobody left after

eighteen years of medical and now in this moment morning this morning we had three candidates so every one you can discuss about but it is not. a leader there's not someone that you would say you know he or she is definitely going to be the next change there do you blame chancellor merkel for that for not. trying to groom and nurture someone to take her place of it's really not possible because this is not this is not there for the screen and isn't that what helmut kohl did with her no i mean quota didn't want to leave the office. and mccall wanted to be his own success. now could decide at that time change the party entity. over the power from coal and now she decided to give

the power back to some to the party and that the party can decide and you she said today that she will stay in office until twenty twenty one when the next election takes place will she be able to do that do you see the current government which she leads surviving another three years. i think this is not the question the christian democrats will answer because we have decided for this coalition. we stand on the question is what the democrats will decide for themselves above a belief for the better for them to be in the opposition of the world and this is a decision they have to take and it must be that they will take this decision on the next weeks of might be in some other time next year and we don't know their pollution is working. but the troubles between some persons in the coalition and the troubles of both parties especially of the social democrats.

over. covering the the good effects of this coalition mr cruz we appreciate you coming in tonight ensuring your insights on what has been able to stay here in germany thank you my pleasure. well here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world around three quarters of the historic center of venice has been flooded after strong winds raised the water levels to a ten year high tourists were evacuated from st marks where much of italy is under of work after extreme weather lashed the country turkey's president richard pryor fair to one has inaugurated is temple's giant new international airport the government claims the ten point five billion euro a mega project will be the biggest airport in the world when it reaches full capacity. another suspicious package addressed to the u.s. news broadcaster c.n.n.

the crash. but. my prediction is no one has survived because we only managed to retrieve body parts that are incomplete. and it has been hours since the crash so it is possible all one hundred eighty nine people were killed. three people are still waiting for answers as to why the plane went down one specialist aviation website checked its progress minutes after takeoff the pilot reported a problem and requested to be allowed to return to the airport the request was granted but then the plane made a sudden sharp dive into the sea. for the families and loved ones waiting at the destination the region about one hour north of jakarta the news could not have been worse. i waited until after

they also welcomed the news that autos was swept to victory in sunday's presidential runoff despite his support for torture despite him being a self professed homophobe and despite plans to open up the amazon rain forest to big business. change has come to brazil. after a decade and a half of leftist and centrist rule the far right has emerged triumphant. the president the i like it because it represents a shift in power we had the same group ruling the country for sixteen years and these results are making the people happy and they wash i think you'll be good for brazil we need a change i'm sick of so much corruption there are many things we need to change or something helmer. yet others see a darker side to the news as any such as elections in reality have revealed the

west of mankind they've shown the soul of human beings. that's how i feel about it and i feel saddened really saddened. by the division in brazilian society was clear to see after the results came in sunday evening a crowd of both sinatras supporters gathered to celebrate outside the prison where former leftist candidate lula da silva serving time was the election front runner until he was jailed on corruption charges. and in the city anger towards the winner with many protesters shouting not him. many fear the sudden rise of both sinatra could mean a threat to their democracy he has praised dictators supported torture and just before the elections he promised to purge the country of leftists. in his victory speech also not to appear to dial back his extreme views. but their lives not the

oh this is a country for a saw brazilians by birth or heart you know brazil of diverse opinions colors and orientations as a defender of freedom i will lead a government which defends and protects the rights of citizens who comply with their duties and respect the laws they thought they. in two months brazil will begin to see what kind of changes voted for both in our will take office on january first. when you talk about that i'm joined by we're not a sociologist with a strong focus on brazil at berlin's free university as well that's good to have you on the show we know the what the situation was before the election i mean the results of this will show just that the country is incredibly divided she jeff rense is between the poor in the rich the north south black and whites. our differences between social classes are they being amplified now. yes i think

both in our view of his campaign by excessive eighteen differences and he has promised that he will fight back and the progress that reduce class privilege swipe frivolous male privilege and heads for a privilege so i think the politics of creating an enemy and divisions has been his. campaign strategy he campaigned with statements and i'm quoting here there will be a purge never seen in brazil i mean. he there he rushed unrestrained against indigenous was indigenous peoples afro brazilians homosexuals artists i mean these are not the words of just a populace are. while he has being also defending the use of violence against. different phases and different opinions and i think we don't have to wait

and see it's already happening his rhetorical alone has provided few and legitimacy for groups to practice political violence against those. suits and minorities it do you see then a rise in the power of the military in brazil because we know that he comes from the military we know that he has tremendous respect for the military dictatorship. yes he has a vice president's from the military but i don't believe that there will be a flu bill law like open dictator so i think it will come and i think we're going to check reactions. and i also believe that the major reforms that he promised and always the financial capital is betting depend on the minimal level of legal certainty required like. these enough of the marker see a functional democracy without any legitimacy bill because he's used to mark

received to get elected so you know he's a legitimately elected president but do you see him trying to dismantle and erode the democratic institutions in the country he's already doing that doing the complaining by criticizing all institutions by trying to create direct relationships. apart from social media of course but. you have being fighting the credibility of the judiciary the media of all institutions that control the exercise of power and you know we've heard stories like that i mean not only from south america but also from north america we're not a motor sociologist with brilliance for university miss what we appreciate you coming in tonight thank you you thank .

i know matters announcement to step down as party leader and not seek re-election is also a topic among investors currency markets are usually quick to react to this type of news and indeed the euro dipped to a low of one dollar and thirteen thirteen after the chancellor's announcement but european stock markets set a different take as the news broke germany's dax putting on an immediate two percent spurred ending monday's trading session one point two percent higher a pretty clear statement in a market that's weakened considerably in recent weeks now german economic leaders have also been reacting to uncle america's decision marcel foster president of the german institute for economic research says miss america has succession needs to be sorted as quickly as possible the decision by chancellor merkel creates a lot of uncertainty everyone is asking what will happen to the government will

there be a new chancellor will it improve the ability of the government to act to push reforms in germany in europe as well so this uncertainty is a bad thing for the economy because it means companies and printers don't know what will happen will invest less create fewer jobs and this ultimately has also an economic cost for germany. most of us are president of the german institute for economic research speaking there to the u.s. and the tech giant i.b.m. is biggest acquisition ever i.b.m. i.b.m. has coughed up thirty four billion dollars to purchase redhat software aiming to better compete with cloud computing companies like amazon google and microsoft cloud computing enables people and organizations to perform digital tasks on devices without housing service locally i.b.m. c.e.o. estimates the market for cloud computing to be worth one trillion dollars according

to i.b.m. only twenty percent of applicants applications have been transition to cloud service so far that means eighty percent are still stored locally now let's get more on this with the entocort our correspondent standing by in new york that is the most expensive acquisition and i.b.m. says story is of a sensible one. that is certainly a bold move under the first six years under the helm of jeannie rometty being this c o the sales of i.b.m. have been constantly dropping in just about a year ago there trend got reversed a little bit for example some actions in the market for at the official intelligence have not really materialized so now this is a big move into the cloud service the stock of i.b.m. traded to the downside by about four percent that is not so surprising because as

you mentioned thirty eight billion dollars that's by far the biggest acquisition of i.b.m. and this deal will be financed mostly by debt so we will see how that works out and also the market is pretty crowded we have big players there like amazon microsoft or google just to name a few and yes let's take a look at the broader picture here u.s. markets saw some hefty swings in monday's trading session the s. and p. five hundred is on track for its worst month since the financial crisis tell us more on that. good also blue chip so the dow jones industrial average should briefly dipped into a correction territory blue chips went up by as much as we have one hundred fifty points at one point and then we lost five hundred fifty points at the low meaning we had swings of around nine hundred points so that's not your usual day and it shows you how nervous the market still remains even if we could recover

a bit and blue chips were down by the end of the session by a good two hundred forty points so we got some remarks from the white house saying that if the talks between u.s. president donald trump and chinese president xi do not go well next month that actually all of goods being imported to the u.s. from china it could face more terror so that was one piece of news that started this selling and scored a new york thank you. helloween is just around the corner and millions of people particularly in the united states are expected to celebrate it the u.s. national retail federation annual survey says more than one hundred seventy five million of them are planning to spook around the festival of horror could help kick off a retail boom in the u.s. during the last quarter total spending on costumes and decorations is expected to reach nine billion dollars slightly short of last year's record but

a strong showing by shoppers during halloween could be a sign that the years are gone a me is still robust despite recent stock market volatility has we just heard. and staying with the scary stuff a visit to the dentist is sure to creep out to many people and in pakistan in particular the experience is not for the faint hearted many dentists there have decided to treat their patients on the streets who otherwise could before care. polishing and cleaning for about two dollars that prevents cavities. it's not that i don't have enough money for the dentists in the hospitals they charge thirty to forty dollars just for cleaning so it's better to go to the street dentists who can do it for only two dollars they can even fix the teeth. it's all about improvise ation of the open air clinics in the pakistani city of rawalpindi for many locals street dentists are the only option for dental care the

average pakistani earns around one hundred dollars a month. but the experience is not for the squeamish. sunburned i don't have a little things here and we have a special chemical which we apply and works well we can't do root canal treatments because we don't have the equipment for that our patients are poor and there was a doctor looked at them under no one and do something for your teeth polish and clean them noise dust and poor hygiene that's what patients put up with but business is booming for the dentists. treat up to one hundred patients a day. these dentists earn between twenty and twenty five dollars daily that's a lot of money in pakistan but for the patient it all comes down to trust it's almost impossible to know how qualified the street dentists are. i'm happy about my dentist expecting your breasts oman but they very much crystal here's
