a laugh with angle america when the german chancellor first proposed a c.d.u. party secretary general macro had forgotten that she herself was the first woman in the job the to see eye to eye on many issues sounding remarkably similar over the hot button subject of migration we can do this. yes we can do this we can do this if we use the christian c. in our policy names a compass and take the diva democratic seriously let's talk about policies again instead of looking for the lowest common denominator. the to go back a long way in recent months and a great country has been keen to shake off the title as many america stressing their differences like her skepticism over same sex marriage and her interest and reintroducing conscription like service for young people she also used the latest tension between russia and ukraine to call for a tougher line against russian president vladimir putin in addition to use

sanctions bus routes and ask the question how else we can make absolutely clear to him that the ends of sea must be kept open for international shipping. and her leadership credentials and state premier of germany smallest state of the island there she proved that she can win elections in difficult times for the c.d.u. . and for more on these political developments i'm joined by our senior political correspondent peter craven in our studios both in peter and in hamburg we have chief political editor michelle a coup for now starting with you misha this has been an exciting day in hand hasn't it. yes absolutely this party was energized by the times tough election contest it's all over the past six weeks there was a grassroots discussions were being held where the three candidates presented

themselves answered questions and it was the first actual contest over the party leadership for decades so a lot of new territory here for the conservative c.d.u. the end of the era mantle and at the same times clear signs of continuity after all a k.k. as she's also known was the clear favorite of machall to succeed her in this role as party leader and one day safe potentially in the role as chance in the future. be to tell us more about it k.k. as we said i've called her what she would like to lead it how different will she be from mecca for the summer should be very very similar she's a she's very pragmatic she's very consensual she's very principled of you so she's a quick learner i think she's also a winner she's proven credentials as a winner in the zoolander and then elections in what is one of germany's smaller

states but nevertheless she got forty percent of the vote that's quite something these days in terms of foreign policy she's a bit of a dark horse we don't know a lot bunch about her she did today in her address so that she wants a much more consolidated europe including the european armies that would be a big. move forward we haven't been reckoning with i don't think in terms of other foreign relations she came out on a talk show here in germany last week and said that she would play hardball with russia with love to move who's in russia so that's in terms of her foreign policy credentials and what we can say is that i think that she will working together with with chancellor merkel in a tongue them should be a very quick learner and i think she'd be a force to be reckoned with and we should have you back after a c.d.u. party conference in hamburg what reaction has there been to come out in bose when they're in the second round it was a close election but she did ben. well between joy relief and

disappointment of course after all that racial mats that comeback kid from more than a decade ago in the conservative c.d.u. didn't have a lot of follow was and he also reenergize a lot of people want to see a much more conservative course just a little while ago i had a chance to speak to defensiveness it was a funded line and she did could quite clearly there was an expectation that there would be a much tougher line towards russia particular also for ukraine that is one of the issues where a.k.k. seems know and tried to demonstrate foreign policy profile which simply isn't quite there yet but as a former state premier of sallon which borders france she is basically she has the european d.n.a. in her and the funnel line for sure the defense minister expects nothing but continued support which she says she also got from the chancellor over that project of having a european army so. more of

a pro european stance not more than i'm going to michael because that was probably hardly possible we haven't seen or heard any noises beyond that so far from a k.k. but she needs to now pick a couple of issues where she goes beyond or has a different line from anger to sharpen our profile and of course it is election came after. america gave up hope post as party leader of the c.d.u. she spoke and gave a farewell speech to the delegates that let's take a listen to a bit of what she had to say. well on it is not. parting ways because you do you i don't have to be party chair to have strong ties to this party and it's also about wanting me to be a german chancellor who seduced is going to be focusing on the time after me it is a matter close to my heart and the last term of my political office or so that i contribution for ensuring the new success of the studio whilst at the same time

maintaining responsibility nation to do to contain the governments this is how we can set the course for the future. so that michelle was speaking not sure she is not known for being very emotional in public but at the end of the speech which you listen to she really had to struggle to regain composure because she was almost fighting here is what do you think will her legacy be as the leader of the c.d.u. . yeah it was more than nine minutes a standing ovation says she did try and calm down the room but they simply wouldn't . down in quite quite in contrast to what was known as leadership style in the end she managed over those eighteen years that she was party leaders to build the c.d.u. into something of a power fortress west for a long time she wasn't really a question she wasn't challenge even on u.

turns particular nuclear energy here in germany but then that migration issue did become of tipping point for many who openly questioned her particular wench not referring back to her party let alone to other european partners and there had been under arrest brewing that culminated in her choice of part of a tree party leader having to stand down losing an internal parliamentary party election just a couple of months ago i guess and that was the warning sign that she no longer had that unquestioned power in the hasi and now is clearly the beginning of a new chapter and it is kind of oh we'll face a very different party a very lively party with very country debates that could be expected to speak to a new chapter for the cd you bought a cake a selection ensure that this certain degree of continuity and military and the chancellor will then go back or you call her that is that's what they're describing here that's not my right and she said she isn't that many americans she's

a politician in their own right but does it also does it ensure the chancellor angela merkel can remain chanced that in the end if a town that she wants to which is two thousand and twenty one but is certainly the plan and i think uncle america's really offers a talk recently it's one of her closest aides and he said to me that you know that this is authentic this is not a game she's playing she sees a sense of duty and also she's she's got she's got a lot or as i think there was in the last couple of months she herself has sort of medical fatigue but so she's got over it and she's now she's now hungry for. politics once again we saw it in her book today i think we saw it at the g. twenty last weekend where she was she she crossed sold since they were with some of the world does spots with a lot of vigor and then we saw it's a there were earlier this week there was a digital conference a digital technology conference i'm going to back was big on technology artificial intelligence was there was at the core of what was being dealt with and not something that she sees as

a big important challenge for germany's future and i think that's one of the areas where she has a scientist is going to work very closely and ensuring that germany gets gets up to speed enough there are now other similar areas the digitalisation of the economy so she's got she's got a huge appetite for taking on that i mean three years in politics were saying she she could be chancellor for another three of what could happen in that time when everything could change the world could change and probably will and if i want from you know i mean it k.k. has won the election but we have to remind ourselves she had to a very fierce rivals going into this election they've said they're prepared to work with her but how smooth is that going to be with a lever in fisa will they be constantly going to pushing her pushing out of the boundaries. but as you say what will happen in concrete is quite clear that there is a challenge that of reuniting a party that did see a rift over this contest all three candidates are very quick to stress that they

want to work together but have two challenges challenges both really smart and spawn have vowed to want to continue reading role also within the c.d.u. party so these are more unsteady times and at the same time in the grand scheme of things this is pretty much going according to textbook as far as i'm going to macros intentions were and she's managed to pick the time to stand down as party leader she is seeing the woman she perceives as her favorite without saying so but it was quite clear when she proposed says party secretary general so i'm going to come to her favorites. taking over the party and the question now is although under the michael center stage that she would be prepared and willing to continue and serve the full term that that is her intention. if someone had to take over the obvious choice everybody would be looking out would be a good come count on boy if there were fresh elections she would then be the she

most certainly would be the candidate if there were new elections also at the end of the term right so i mean the c.d.u. as it moves to towards a new chapter as you called it a time of the new and regeneration for the conservative party we shall look at the party conference in hamburg and these are craven in the studio with me thank you both very much for your insights and for your analysis. you're watching the news coming to you live from london let me now bring you up to date but some other stories making news around the u.s. president donald trump has nominated william by attorney general. attorney general under president george h.w. bush in the same announcement from also nominated efforts fox news journalists have been out as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations vice president. a u.s. bit to get the united nations to condemn hamas is the resolution proposed by u.s. ambassador to the u.n.

nikki haley fell short of the required to her majority if he would have still when he condemned the palestinian militant group which fired more than three hundred rockets into israel last month. the equerries refugee rescue ship has ended its operations the charity that drown the vessel blames a smear campaign by european governments the aquarius was the last china to run rescue ship operating off the libyan coast and saved tens of thousands of refugees from drowning in the mediterranean. not to france the eiffel tower and the louvre museum among the prison landmarks that are closing this weekend as france braces for a repeat of last weekend's rioting the protesters will be out on the streets again despite the government scrapping the planned rise in fuel taxes that sparked the unrest in the first place across the country around ninety thousand police are

being mobilized last weekend saw some of the one street violence in france in decades. this head stephen schork she has been running the salon for thirty five years and says she's seen many protests but none of them were as violent as last saturday's city it was like in a war one side. vance then the other retreated this went back and forth to the protests the script anything they could get their hands on at one point they seized the building crane they moved into the police and set it on fire we thought it was going to explode. this time she's planning on closing and shattering her salon but she's not happy about having to do so the saturdays before christmas are crucial for high turnover she blames one person for the current situation president. putin the president is just too stubborn he shouldn't have betrayed the people with

the announcement he dres few taxes it was obvious that people would hit the barricades i understand the yellow vests to live. on move on his own here in the area around after tea and demonstrators have vandalized entire streets and burned dozens of cars. paris officials estimate the cost of the damage done to public facilities at about four million euro so far and the figure for the damage done to private property could be many times higher but that doesn't seem to have dented the public support for the yellow that's three out of four french people still make the demonstrations and blockades are justified even if they don't necessarily endorse the violence which i can understand the yellow vests but these rioters are just intolerable and i don't understand why the politicians are adding fuel to the fire instead of calming the situation down if you can on the will consumers should government finally needs to find

a solution and negotiate with the demonstrators they shouldn't wait until the protesters have levelled a terrorist. could use an internal belief but the protests are spreading hundreds of schools have been closed farmers will go on strike next week the government says it expects the protest this saturday to be extremely violent with thousands of rioters coming to paris to rampage and kill eight thousand police officers more than twice as many as last weekend will be deployed to deal with the threat in the french capital they have armored vehicles and a new strategy if you do dude we won't cordon off the last time around when our police officers have to stay put we have mobile teams that will quickly confront the protesters disperse them and arrest the main instigators up until now the rioters were merely fall after far right extremists now even regular demonstrators are attacking us as representatives of the state in that sense it's an insurrection ali that's your cue despite the increased measures this restaurant owner feels let

down last saturday the former soldier defended his premise with a few friends they were up against writers armed with axes and baseball bats he's preparing for more of the same this weekend more than one of his own are the president and the interior minister have a duty to protect us business owners. after all we have paying taxes but almost all the restaurants in the area have been destroyed i can't let these thugs destroy my restaurant and threaten the livelihoods of my twelve employees and he's confident that he'll be able to withstand any attack tomorrow but he hopes that the situation will soon come down and that the protests in the country don't become the norm. henna adjoins been off of business news and the latest on the chinese tech executive who was arrested in canada had and that's where amrita thank you very much indeed well that arrest is also having a great implications now for the company internationally japan's the latest country

reportedly planning to ban government purchases of telecoms equipment from huawei and another chinese companies dead over security concerns meanwhile in man one suit the c.f.o. who was arrested on saturday is scheduled to have a bail hearing later. in a few hours time and one jew will find out whether she'll be extradited to the united states or set free canada as arrest of one of the highest ranking executives that wild way has placed the country in the middle of a complicated dispute between the u.s. and china. i think everybody with. the appropriate authorities to the decisions in this case. interference that must be the case but politics is a ready at the very center of this case man was arrested on charges of helping huawei to violate u.s. sanctions on iran allegations beijing tonight is. as one of the

permanent members of the un security council china over strictly and earnestly implements the resolutions it passes. from god china also opposes any country imposing unilateral sanctions on others outside of the un ses framework. this isn't the first time huawei has come under scrutiny from abroad in the past u.s. lawmakers have described the tech giant as a threat to national security saying its technology could be used for spying other countries including australia new zealand and japan appear to share those concerns addressed bond or are mulling bounds on huawei products but the timing of this case is especially sensitive just last week chinese leader xi jinping and u.s. president donald trump agreed to a ninety day truce in their months long trade dispute it's now looking on shakier

ground than ever. and earlier we spoke to. the director of the center for international economics in munich and asked him whether the fears about always technology were just a fight. i would say so yes we hear a lot about the trade balance of course and it is true it's negative and massively negative but it's also true that the united states and china fight and proud about new technologies and we will see more of that for the case coming up this is probably a struggle that will define the next decades of the episode we're living through today says that tells us how important that is on both sides of the trade story to that is only one part of what we're talking about you know the role of the leader of the world of tomorrow and that battle is going on so will be very interesting to have a very interesting to watch what's going on there the that of capital and of my the

director of the effects center for international economics that now german companies on a need to price pressure many have shifted production lines to low cost countries in asia particularly china now some of them bringing them back home again thanks to you to nation. here a vacuum cleaner rolls off the line every fifteen minutes the german family business electro star is back in production on german soil soon electra's star hand in hair dryers will also be manufactured here again managing director roman coral by is banking on the value of products made in germany he wants to have all production removed from china and returned to germany. twenty years ago when we began producing in china the experience was positive we have been producing high quantities at reasonable price and quality by the time i sensed that we are now forced to produce smaller batches. individual products. not

only are niche markets becoming more and more important but most of the electra stores customers are in europe. from china it can take up to eight weeks for deliveries to rife but from here it only takes a few days. the model train make american has also brought its manufacturing back from china. the reason it's easier to produce small quantities in higher quality from germany. to television will not be wasted but i think it's very important that the trains our engineers develop and design can also be built directly here at the same place. and we are now able to optimize the process through automation and create ideal conditions for producing our trains of stuff was telling that. other nation is helping able to return of domestic manufacturing robots to the record work at macklin replacing much of what

the workers in china did they drill mill and file away irregularities and the company saves on labor costs. then the detailed work can be done by skilled workers . in a few weeks alecto star plans to move its vacuum cleaner production into a new building the company needs more space after their withdrawal from china here to technology and automation are expected to ease the manufacturing process. of our forests will become more efficient and one person will be able to produce more output due to the help of it's relevant to systems of parker ultimately very soon. so i think in future we will have more or less the same amount of work force but richer but it will be much more productive for every german company that moves its operations abroad to are now coming back

a trend that is set to continue. more business news and later first back over to. this is a catastrophe unfolding in yemen and we have to stop it those were the words of sweden's foreign minister as she opened talks aimed at ending the war in yemen the u.n. brokered talks bring together yemen saudi backed government and whose event was aligned with iran it is the first time the two sides have come together in the old until he does the conflict has triggered a massive humanitarian crisis with millions of people suffering from severe hunger . newborns fighting for their lives their mothers are too weak to help them every day up to one hundred twenty babies are brought to this clinic and son are there mile nora's weak sick many are so far gone that doctors can no longer help them and the police it's not their fault these children shouldn't have

sanctions now the output to stabilize oil prices which have recently tanked fire on twenty five percent. it was fairly clear from the start there'd be a production cut but opec members struggled to agree on the size of it right up to lee and they finally decided to cut one point two million barrels a day off global production opec fifteen members will shoulder two thirds of the us the remainder will fall to a ten strong group of nonmembers states led by russia that group could join the vienna talks on the second day of the opec meeting. under the current conditions it's extremely important for us to send a strong signal to the markets that we are ready to act decisively and at the same time react appropriately to the market situation. the output cut of slightly over one percent of global production is aimed primarily at stabilizing prices. oil has

become steadily cheaper since the beginning of october from eighty six dollars the price of a barrel of north sea brant crude fell at times to fifty seven dollars of ring lately at around sixty those kinds of levels are too low for countries as economies are highly dependent on oil exports when news of the output cut emerged oil climbed by three dollars a barrel. and off financial correspondent part of clifton but it has the view from frank that. one point two million barrels per day that isn't a huge sum but it should be enough to at least put a bottom to the price of oil and not have it drop much further to put it into perspective a little bit one point two million the us alone has in the past year. or ranked up its oil production by two point five million barrels so it isn't that much however considering how much the solution was downplayed yesterday it was a bit of

a surprise to market so and so the oil price jumped almost five percent on the. financial correspondent. speaking to us meanwhile fulling oil prices mismanagement and hyper inflation have ruined venezuela's finances two million people have already fled and president nicolas maduro now says he has signed deals worth billions of dollars with russia he and else to move on social media. this is the video venezuelan president nicolas maduro posted online. if you all of you who have signed contracts today to guarantee investments of more than five billion dollars with our russian partners and showing ventures to raise oil production we will also guaranteeing an investment of more than one billion dollars for mining mostly in gold all russian investments we also have signed a contract to guarantee all the wheat six hundred thousand tons of wheat for the

a world with what remove the uniform as the painting. alex katz an artistic legend from new york has come to me in it for the opening of an exhibition dedicated to his work the painter known for his powerful brush strokes has been active for over seven decades and at ninety one is hardly slowing down. seven days a week he'll put the painting patterns are irregular before do a large cleaning i might do it in one day with our marketing to another woman makes the. cats began his impressive career back in the fifty's in new york city if you like the bohemian life his friends included poets and dancers and he often frequented jazz clubs he helped pave the way for pop art while preserving his own unique style. con has been devoted to representing the here and now off and making his creations vibrant and large scale while

incorporating human perception and daily life. and world mono who. is one reason for those fresh. and it was growing at the go different to make a penny work move with the idea and those cleaning gestures of my time my clothes so there we were with a lot of people drinking and smoking because as with. much of katz a success could also be because of ada his wife his muse his love and his model he's been depicting her for more than half a century. she's even there for the interview near his side composed and strong. second do anything to this good sounds like a lot of people but slow but there was more than there this one had to do with what . would. and you could certainly see that in cuts this works.

the experienced pro looks at the beauty of life and then transforms it into art. that talking about ott robin motive to discus bit me and one of the biggest discussions in the wad of oughts and touch at the moment is about united in particular taken from the african continent by colonial powers predominantly in the nineteenth century the french president in london the cruel is trying to turn the pages on france is the only positive by starting a process of retelling the aat looted from africa but at the same time of the year is a rich man of ation belgium's africa museum is really opening its doors to visit has been met and from a to this thank you for joining us this sounds like a bit of

a contradiction lot of discussion a budget to landing use it out at the same time the opening bell jim's africom yeah i mean it is a bit of a dichotomy but france's name of belgium is not disagreeing with the french initiative it's perhaps approaching it from a different angle this this museum we see behind is this magnificent thing was built by king leopold the second the belgian just outside brussels this is this was in the late nineteenth century when belgium was i mean committing to well first of all brutally annexed what is now the democratic republic of congo committing terrible atrocities that actually king live holds of rates the country of its cultural artifacts brought him back to put in his wonderful museum now as you said now being renovated bought with a completely new narrative and attitude towards its colonial past.

the royal museum for central africa was long considered the last colonial museum in the world it was where generations of belgian children marveled at stuffed and mounted animals and were taught about their country's presence in the congo. museum director giteau agree seals has tackled a daunting task putting belgium's colonial abuse into context within the very museum that was built for the glory of king leopold the second whose rule over congo was notorious for its brutality. but we very clearly say you know the problem moral point of view we take distance from. the system. we. accept of colonialism is a system of government so these are acceptable today it's immoral it's based on military oppression over country it's based on race is in its various overexploitation resourceless so today we stand for partnership with african countries we stand for dialogue the museum is also displaying works by contemporary

african artists such as the congolese artist emin impounding lives part time in brussels he says he's visited the museum with his children to teach them about their heritage. for me the point was to show them the congolese culture our culture not our objects. to show them what artists created statics meant to explain all of the hong kong. that is the point was not the images suggesting that whites are superior to blacks my kids didn't even ask me about that one point that they wanted a month but that's it. but despite the change of focus the reopening of the royal museum for central africa is not likely to end the debate over the best way to deal with belgians colonial past. well one of the some here would say that even if france britain germany and what have you ten days to africa

they're not enough museums to keep them well you know this is this sort of if you like post-colonial attitude that africa can't cope with this i mean it is a mammoth task there is no doubt about it for instance this there was a report commissioned by the french president about this and it turns out that ninth it's estimated that ninety percent of african art is not in africa so there's a lot of ah but it is there a great museums all over africa and indeed in timely fashion we have behind us a picture and here it is. this is in dhaka the capital senegal this museum of the museum of blacks a bit civilizations was opened yesterday by the center please president this is the biggest museum of its kind of the continent it's got about fourteen thousand square meters of floorspace and they say they have room for eighteen thousand exhibits and

as senegal was by the way a french colony there should be plenty of returning from the in fact several very recently has listed a total of ten thousand works involved and they should be returned from france i mean we've got to be down to us about is in the sense the provenance of this is going to be very difficult it's going to take a lot of time but it's a process and also i would say the other problem is that africa has been divided up since this time in different ways nations a different nation states different size or where did this all come from so got to be looked into it's something we will keep talking about i'm sure on this program for months and years to come next and some of the new building in decadent as lots of interesting in that building there's more on your website there is more on the way. culture and we as i say were returned to this subject because whole question

of. reverberating around the well and so it should be should be talking about to them you've been talking about it thank you so much for coming in and telling us about this. desk that's it from me of the thoughts you must learn as govern from the desk to stay with us and then i will be with you in a few minutes with more news and contests back.
