12:04 pm
c.d.u. party a party conference is getting underway in hamburg today where delegates will elect merkel's for placement and possibly germany's next chancellor let's take a look now at eighteen years at the helm of the christian democrats. going to merkel's announcement in october came as a surprise europe's longest serving elected leader is aiming for something no modern day chancellor has managed before her controlled exit from politics. acted so i won't run again as party leader at the next cd you party conference in hamburg. this is fourth term is my last as the chancellor of germany. machall became the first woman at the top of the c.d.u. in the year two thousand surprising nearly everyone the newcomer from the east led her party's break with its political idol helmut kohl over party funding scandal
12:05 pm
even though core was her mentor the determination and power instinct the party saw there was also what it would get over the next eighteen years. those who refused to accept that the c.d.u. was no longer gentlemen's club soon learned the hard way one by one her competitors had to go. after becoming chancellor two thousand and five machall took a c.d.u. party on a political journey many criticized as a shift to the left setting conservative benchmark policies like military conscription and performing a u. turn on nuclear energy over the fukushima disaster in japan. by then her vote as party leader and her role as chancellor had long become inseparable merkel's political brand as the one who guarantees stability was born. in the midst of the greek debt crisis she defended risking billions of german taxpayers' money by
12:06 pm
claiming there was no alternative. there is no alternative to supporting greece to secure the financial stability of the euro. zone merkel's noel targeted reasoning also you saw her keeping germany's borders open during what became known as the migration crisis in twenty fifteen the political challenge that still defines her leadership and yet if we were to know that we can do this considering our european responsibility our humanitarian response ability and our responsibility for germany then we wouldn't be the christian democratic union of germany but we are and that's why we can do this. america herself was long seen as a conservative party leader without an alternative to replace the fact that there are now several credible candidates is also fueling speculation over how much longer she can remain chancellor. so what is next for the chancellor and her
12:07 pm
party let's bring in our political correspondent kate brady for more on the story hi kate so as we heard the chancellor will step down as party leader but she does want to stay on as the german chancellor until twenty twenty one can that really work. well that is indeed mackerels plan and the question then really is will she be able to do depending on which candidate her party the c.d.u. decides to vote in those her successor come friday this idea of macros to stay out on as the chancellor until twenty twenty one really could become quite problematic particularly if the one of the front row does friedrich matt actually is voted in as her successor as the party leader now math is quite well known in the german political stage of being much more conservative than merkel so we could see him indeed taking the c.d.u.
12:08 pm
party in a much more conservative direction and away from the sense of ground which we've seen move the conservatives towards over the last two decades at the top of the c.d.u. paul fifty of course as well the coalition at the moment is already very fragile it's a coalition between germany's conservatives macro's conservative party and the social democrats so any kind of friction that between maps if he were to become the c.d.u. party leader and in the position of chums of the could spell real trouble for germany's government ok so they could have a tough time working together what about the other two contenders for the party chair would they also signal a new direction. well i think whichever candidate comes out on top on friday is certainly going to change things within the party as the other two front runners are thirty eight year old son who's seen as the beginning kind of ambitious
12:09 pm
politician on the scene but over to a lot of people all ruling him out and saying that maybe perhaps in ten years time he might stand more of a chance but he is a very vocal critic of macro particularly when it comes to migration policy i'm so we could definitely see him to moving the party back to its more traditional conservative roots then we also have and they create. who for a long time was seen as the heir apparent and a favorite of holes to fill her shoes she not as conservative as maps or bombs but at the same time she is certainly more conservative and holds these conservative traditions and values much closer to a hot particularly when it comes to politics than for example malco so we will certainly see a more conservative a shift to the right more conservative direction regardless of which candidate it becomes magical successor c.d.u. party leader the question then is to what extent and how conservative in so will
12:10 pm
extent this party will move in the conservative direction. kate brady for us thank you very much. now to some other stories making news around the world iranian state media say at least three people have been killed and several wounded in a suicide bombing in the southern port city of java hard authorities said the attackers set off the explosion outside police headquarters so far there has been no claim of responsibility. afghanistan's election watchdog has declared all the votes cast in kabul during october's parliamentary election as invalid the board said there were twenty five reasons for that decision including major fraud and mismanagement the election took place under the threat of taliban violence so far results have only been declared in fourteen of thirty three provinces. and a former australian archbishop found guilty of covering up child sex abuse in the catholic church has had his conviction overturned an australian court ruled in
