1st female chancellor and over the next 14 years she survived a global economic collapse of refugee crisis in europe and managed to outlast at least 30 of her counterparts in the g 20 but now germany's government is stagnating and calls for medical to step down are growing louder so who's next will it be this one on a great trump coward bauer is miracles handpicked successor but she's also one of the country's least popular politicians tonight's miracles party the c.d.u. meeting to determine its future after 14 years of party and a country at a crossroads i'm called aspen in berlin and this is the day. i'm going to talk i'm going to today is also a special day for me on the 22nd of november 2005 i was elected councillor of the

federal republic of germany in the bundestag me to my mind and never not even in my wildest dreams could i have imagined that 4 terms would follow after this 1st election. this is if you feel that the kind of germany that i have outlined today is not the kind of germany that you are looking to run if you feel that the road that i want to go down is not the road that you want to follow then let us talk about that today and let us end it today here and now today. also on the day from mopping floors to rocking the dance floor one woman in moscow spawn her job as a janitor into spinning records in the clubs and now she's a fixture of the city's nightlife it's all about the music i can play for 5 or 6 hours straight music gives me strength and he puts me in a good mood today. so

our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all over the world welcome we start the day with a milestone chance their uncle americal came to power 14 years ago today even the chancellor herself says she never thought she would last that long and now putting that in perspective on november 22nd 2005 the iphone was still a thing of the future and donald trump was still hosting the apprentice but the road is coming to an end last year michael stepped down as the head of her party the c.d.u. and she says she will not run again in 2021 since then the biggest question hanging over germany has been who will replace or one leading contender is on the great trump card and bauer she's the new head of the c.d.u. but on her watch the party has lost ground in regional elections and a.k.k. and she's known has lost ground in the opinion polls to falling below 20 percent

today as her christian democrats begin their annual conference a.k.k. issued a blunt ultimatum to her critics back me or sack me. she went all the way and took on the challenge after several attacks in the weeks leading up to the c.d.u. sponte conference and a great. post the big question to her party colleagues and leipsic. many of them i know if you feel that the road i want to go down is not the road you want to follow then let us talk about that today and let does end it today here and now today. how did the 1000 delegates react with this 7 minute standing ovation continuing 190 minute speech the party that passionately our the policy measures she wants to pursue in the future. missionary isn't enough to be the repair service of the republic we need to become the workshop of the future again that's our goal that's

what we want to do one time in. one of those in the audience was fleet ice melts revival that has attacked i k k several times in recent weeks this time he seemed surprisingly loyal under compound. a.k.k. gave a strong courageous and forward looking speech this morning. peter golic darfur very grateful to her for that thank you via zend we are loyal to our chairwoman to our party leadership. and to the federal government chancellor angela merkel who is no longer involved in leadership debates and a pace to have withdrawn used the opening speech to talk about more personal issues off him again so i thought if i move on today is also a very special day for me i am fine because on november 22nd 2005 i was elected german chancellor for the 1st time and this remains something very special to me.

is on the us for me and their coats political child. great comfort. is giving it at this conference and so far she is one at least for now. correspondent kate brady joins me from beth seaview conference susan forest kate the phrase of the day back me or sack me is anyone likely to take a k.-k. up on that challenge. well i think if we look back to earlier today and look at that 7 minute standing ovation that she's known as received after she gave that 90 minute speech and i think the simple answer there is no she really called her critics bluff today putting an offer on the table as you say was very much back me or sack me that said although it seems as though that leadership issue is off the table right now for the c.d.u.

that question is definitely going to come up again next year when the c.d.u. like germany's other political parties will be gearing up for those 2021 elections and selecting who is going to run for them as their candidate to replace. as the german chancellor so this is an issue they certainly going to be cropping up again very soon. let's talk about that because one of a case harshest critics has been for years max i mean we saw some rather conciliatory words there what can we expect from him now. this one of the big questions that's been doing the rounds here in the here in the light zig we heard from metz a somewhat more conciliatory tone compared to what some of his other comments have previously been particularly when it comes to the party leader of the c.d.u. a.k.k. but at the same time he did stress today that he would be interested in a role in the c.d.u. in future but didn't really expand on exactly what he would see that role has

because as you mentioned he has been one of the loudest critics and so it still is definitely very likely that he will come back in 2020 when the cd use deciding on who is going to put forward the 2021 elections and throw his hat into the ring as at the end of the day think it's still very clear even though we have even though we had a somewhat more conciliatory tone today he's very much keen to become germany's next chancellor and that the party leader of the c.d.u. . those are 2 of the biggest names floating around right now but the question is who else could become the next chancellor let's have a listen to our main last it is the state premier of north rhine-westphalia that's germany's most populous state we spoke with him earlier take a listen. in this party occupies a political center ground and anyone wanting to change that course will find no support from the delegates here. everybody here wants us to remain a broad church party which takes climate change seriously but also has an

industrial policy that secures jobs for the future such as those in the car manufacturing industry to be is a mammoth task reason of carbon maintaining european unity is another important task if the brits leave the european union the e.u. needs to remain capable of acting and european pillar of nato needs to become stronger through greater involvement those are all policies that we were dealing with long after election day. kate the c.d.u. is been searching for political identity for political message for a while now might he be someone who could maybe at least help shape that message and coming a lodger. well it was interesting then that that sounded remarkably like some of the foreign policy that we actually heard from the c.d.u. party leader a k k so it does seem at least that he is playing by the party book right now and not really creating a profile for himself that said he could still become it's some stiff competition

for. when it comes to the c.d.u. deciding on who they want to put forward as their candidate for the election in less than 2 years time even in opinion polls among voters right now he's polling ahead of a case it will be interesting to see exactly how he develops this role in the coming months and right now at least here at the party conference it seems that the party is very much keen to stress it is working on policy but at the same time at the end of the day i think to a large extent the future direction of the party will definitely come down to personality politics brady at the c.d.u. party conference and say thanks very much. but winter is on its way to europe and that's raising concerns over living conditions for migrants trying to reach the e.u. bosnia is an acute case more than 8000 migrants are stranded there mostly in the

country's north west open across into the e.u. via neighboring crowing show this week e.u. officials repeated their call for the camp near be harsh to be closed to avoid the worsening of what is already a dire humanitarian situation from kauffman has been to see for himself. water is only delivered here once a day by tanker. the hygenic conditions are catastrophic since last summer some 600 migrants mostly from pakistan and afghanistan have settled in can vote check from a rubbish dump in north western boss near. the local red cross is helping with basic necessities but for half a year now the local authorities have been bringing migrants here from the city of the hutch 8 kilometers away against the advice of the un and international aid organisations everyone is saying this just the most it has been said already by months yesterday it was announced that this has everything. neighboring

creational is just a few kilometers beyond these mountains micron's try to cross into the e.u. here many are pretended and sent back by creation police soon temperatures are expected to drop winter is particularly severe in this mountainous part of bosnia as it's becoming clear to the camps residents. that's an appalling conditions people and i have been with lots despite the danger no one in other parts of boston wants to take these people in. this is what aid workers believe to be one of the most dangerous migrant camps in europe at the moment doctors report cases of scary bees and other serious diseases but still local authorities don't want to close the camp they want to keep up pressure on other regions and the government in sarajevo to open a different collective center elsewhere in the country. for the last 2 years more

and more refugees have reshaped one of bosnia's largest cities more than 5000 of them now live here in the north west and more arrive every day the mayor of the hutch is demanding a long term solution. the camp must remain permanently open of course we could send the migrants from elsewhere but the migrant crisis as a whole has not been solved if the authorities want to transfer them elsewhere we've got no problem with taking them to sorry over. on the outskirts of the hutch the international organisation for migration runs a refugee camp for up to 2000 people in a form a factory building but the local authorities are opposed to more migrants being accommodated here the un has been negotiating for months to open more refugee camps in the country it's not difficult to imagine what will happen if you have 2300 people more living in the streets when it gets cold these people be forced to find

solutions a world of the solutions is going to public buildings going into shopping malls going into abandoned houses maybe stealing food all these type of negative coping. type of behavior will manifest itself people continue to arrive with winter on its way without a viable solution for the residents of the camp migration crisis continues to escalate. that report was produced by correspondent for comment he joins me now in studio for more me 1st of all just looking at that video it doesn't look like a very nice place to be tell us more about the conditions in that camp and it's built 1st of all on top of a rubbish dump camp it's a horrific place that migrants. proper shoes there's no some of them that don't have warm clothes and winter as you said already coming. that was closed after the bosnian war around 90 that end of $95.00 so after that it was

a abandoned place and the mayor of the hutch thought it would be a pleasant place for the purposes for the purpose to get the people out of the city that was the main reason. the boston red cross is trying to help the people their local authorities bring a war to ones or strikes it's a we saw it in the report help people try to wash them selves. not proper. sanitary and conditions people have to go into the countryside to do what they really need to do and you can imagine the the snow in this place is not the nicest you can give in those conditions everything you just said and the fact that it's on report i mean this campus post be closed months ago why is it still open and why doesn't the bosnian government simply start taking migrants somewhere else with better conditions because you have to go back to the history of the boston conflict that ended by the some of these 1995 with the so-called dayton peace agreement this

peace agreement is knowledge base the constitution of this country and by the agreement the boston government is probably one of the weakest of the because in all of europe you have to end entities you have the boss the boss and you cry out federation and the so entity so-called republika srpska which is refusing to accept any. collective center for micron's and then you have in the other part the bosnian croat federation different continents all of them they have a government prime minister and these politicians refused to have him. look in your report it looks cold there already was when to me winter is on the way what happens to the refugees in the migrants in this camp once the situation's get even colder it's going to be worse i just double checked again the weather for costs we will have about a minus temperatures in a week's time if this is going to happen at least that night rain is coming next we already so 1st ray then minus temperatures you can imagine what that means for

living conditions briefly i mean do you think this camp will be closed i think it has to and business us talking here now is also part of this political pressure that the international community is putting in boston and the local authorities there that still you need the acceptance of flow competitions to have different collective centers elsewhere in this country correspondent from kauffman thank you so much for your reporting. when we log on to facebook or search with google most of us know they were paying for those services not with money but with our personal data now a new report from amnesty international says that price has become too high to pay and the 2 tech giants are quote a threat to human rights report you see it here is titled surveillance giants how the business model of google and facebook threatens human rights and lays out a case in some 60 pages that the 2 companies are now too large to avoid in our

daily lives facebook has responded to that report saying it quote fundamentally disagrees and stating in part a person's choice to use facebook's services and the way we collect receive or use data is all clearly disclosed and acknowledged by users and cannot meaningfully be likened to the involuntary and often unlawful government surveillance. well joining me now is the lead author of that study joe westby he's also a researcher on technology big data and human rights for amnesty tech joe i mean this is a massive report we're talking 60 pages i mean there aren't really any new level ations here but the conclusions i find really striking and it calls these companies control over our digital lives one of the defining human rights challenges of our times why is that thanks for me on i think that's right and really this the dominance of these pop forums and the way

that facebook and google all profiting from people's most intimate information really does pose a systemic threat to human rights to billions of people around the world and these companies were law i on harvesting fausta amount of data about everything that we do in the digital world and then through the use of sophisticated algorithmic tools knowing virtually everything about us and it if the government had done this it would have been completely intolerable but these companies are just doing it to sell ads and i think. people are now waking up to the fact that this is a serious threat to our rights and it's time to overhaul the business model that these companies were on how do you think we've gotten to that point where what you say is a company's doing something we've never tolerate from

a government how we got in there how we love that half. well that's a great question i mean i think. if you look at the company's business model when they 1st started they were much more privacy respecting as they have grown in size and scale to the point where really it is impossible to navigate the digital world without coming on to that cooper surveillance machine and the companies have been able to gradually erode our privacy and threaten our rights and will a whole host of ways without being held fully accountable and i think you know we're increasingly now seeing the symptoms of this deep and problem pretty much every week you know just last week there was a financial times investigation about how the company's dozens of ad tech companies including of course google facebook uses it the heart of this is them we're

receiving highly sensitive health data from health websites including medical symptoms diagnoses between a team from asian. is not is the opposite of privacy and is an intrusion into our private lives now want to take a look at what else facebook had to receive to say in response to your reports here's one bit of their response they say our business model is what allows us to offer an important service where people can exercise foundational human rights to have a voice freedom of expression and be able to connect freedom of association and assembly i mean i'm sure you've also been following the situation in iran the internet there was completely shut down during anti-government protests many people there could not use a tool like facebook or tool like whatsapp to communicate so on the other hand there are some important pro-democracy features to these companies as well right. yes absolutely and we recognize that in fact that's exactly the problem and this

scale of these problems they become the the global public square that billions of people rely on them to express themselves online to engage with modern society that's the problem in order to realize our human rights in the digital age we are forced to consent to a system which is predicated on human rights abuses and not is it an impossible choice for people to face and that's exactly why you know governments need to address the scale dominance of these pop forms and you know radically over all. the business model so that we can move towards a rights respecting internet which really you know restores the promise of the internet for all rights and for society or some governments have been taking action

the general data protection regulation g.d.p. are was not here in the e.u. last year that could be one way to go about it joe westby is a researcher on technology big data on human rights for amnesty international thank you very much thank you so much. that some people live to work others live to play even if that calling comes later in life one example a cleaner in the russian capital moscow who discovered a new passion that helps pay the bills. when reports from the dance floor. zarina his love for music is infectious she's been deejaying for almost 4 years and now performs around once a month at events and clubs in the russian capital playing drum and bass house and electra. serina is 57 years old and is originally from was back to stop but

when she plays age doesn't matter and neither does nationality. the thing i like the most is when everyone dances i even dance with them myself. zarina came to moscow from summer conned 20 years ago to earn money for her family back home now she cleans offices in the city center including at this school when she heard the electronic music people were playing here she loved it and decided to take lessons as well. she still practices at the school after cleaning before the other students arrive. music helps me i work a lot so it can be tiring when i come here i forget everything it's all about the music i can play for 5 or 6 hours straight music gives me strength and he puts me in a good mood. serina

doesn't speak english or read latin letters so she memorizes the cover art for tracks when she wants to use them and play lists. of the arenas teacher at the school suggest songs he thinks she might like he says arena is an important member of the school's close knit community and she's an inspiration for new students and it was more because i was with unfortunately people often think that someone who came from a different country who's a better older who has a different nationality might not be able to learn how to. be she sure everyone that it works and that anything is possible because. the poor child's. serena's one of several 1000000 migrants in russia central asian immigrants often face discrimination in the country but serena says she's never had problems. when a person is heartfelt when a person talks to everyone is friends with everyone they are taken in by people as

their own that's what i think i think it depends on the person. always ends her act by dancing with her audience to pop music in a traditional national costume at holmes arena as a teacher and someday she hopes to start her own d.j. school back in respect to keep spreading the joy of music. very cool store there the day is almost done but the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either at the news or at current aspen forget you can always use our hash tag the day to our viewers on p.b.s. and around the world thanks for watching and for making us part of your day.
