bergen bill are going to the polls to vote on their independence. i'm nick spicer thanks for joining us the leader of the governing christian democrats here in germany has issued an ultimatum in a debate over her leadership as the c.d.u. begins its annual party conference and company con about told delegates she was prepared to quit if they didn't back her come convolve took over from chancellor angela merkel as c.d.u. leader last year but the party's popularity has continued to slide under her leadership. she went all the way and took on the challenge after several attacks in the weeks leading up to the cd use party 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. isn't enough to be the repair service of the republican we need to become the workshop of the future again that's our goal and that's what we want to do one time in my mind one of those in the audience was fleet ice melts revival and that's has attacked by k.k. several times in recent weeks this time he seemed surprisingly loyal under calm cardboard morgan a.k.k. gave a strong courageous and forward looking speech this morning. peter god so

you're very grateful to her for that thank you via we are loyal to our woman to our party leadership. and to the federal government chancellor merkel who has passed on the party leadership to come no longer takes part in these debates she used her opening speech to talk about more personal issues about him again so i thought i was on today is also a very special day for me my own fun because on november 22nd 2005 i was elected german chancellor for the 1st time and this remains something very special to me it is wonderful for me. political child and they couldn't come. is giving it all at this conference and so far she is one at least for now. our chief political editor standing by for us in the eastern city of lights think

it looks like the big clash many were expecting is off the table. he's going to last. well that's the big question it won't last question is how long this in to be give peace a lasting return massive music behind me building up to this 2nd day of the party conference where this showdown between a good combo and feverish mass is off the table but let's just remind ourselves that was all about the party leadership and the underlying question here is who will get to succeed as potential future chance a chance like candidate who's due to be elected in one year's time now for this pledge loyalty only weeks after saying that the government was disastrous seen as a significant attack both on america and on its compound and there will be a 2nd this test today. come support when there is

a motion debated and voted on whether that candidate for a chance should be found to basic vote basically not asking delegates but the entire party grass roots we don't expect that to go through but we do expect a rather lively debate here today. and you mention chancellor angela merkel she cast such a large shadow in german politics do we know what her role will be in the next 2 years. well she still is the german chancellor and she's the most tangible sign and manifestation of political power in government of the christian democrats but under her auspices they have gone from germany's dominant big tent party to a party that is in decline when you look at the opinion polls when you look at regional elections that we had in several eastern states here in germany recently

and this is really the task for a negative to turn that around angela merkel herself clearly has her eyes focused on providing stability in this at times shaky ground coalition so-called grand coalition with the social democrats with a firm i on the e.u. presidency of germany in the 2nd half of next year so we have a german chancellor who seems to be taking a much more european and global approach looking had her own legacy and we see her successor as party leader and. trying to stabilize her own party and build momentum to in the end wind up votes whoever will vote on becoming her potential successor in the tongue 3 ok. party. conference in lightly thank you. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world. in japan foreign ministers from the g 20 group of countries are holding
