sydney's last piece of the bird there was a bandit in a warehouse for decades this piece of history is now on public display. the at. my head of the humphrey glad you could join me a victory for the head of germany's governing conservatives and kate come on by a managed to head off a rebellion of her party conference yesterday warning delegates that was she would resign if she did not get their full backing now that a standing ovation come carabao took over from chancellor angela merkel a c.d.u. leader at 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 help party colleagues and leipsic. many of them i know say 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 republic and 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 a k.k. several times in recent weeks this time he seemed surprisingly loyal under come.

a.k.k. gave a strong courageous and forward looking speech this morning. peter golic darfur oh 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 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 guns is on the walls for me nicole's political child and they couldn't come. is giving it all at this conference and so far she is one at least for now.

and our chief political editor mccarrick you for is standing by for us in the east and german city of lights the at party conference good to see day to all the party conference one of the big topics what's going on there now. well really the overarching issue was for and if it come to avoid some kind of clash some kind of so down scenario with the man who lost against her in last year's vote for the party leadership she did that on the 1st day and on the 2nd day also a motion by the youth organization you were on your own didn't go through which called for a grassroots vote on who would take the party is sansa candid into the next elections which are scheduled in 2 years' time so she avoided that particular cliff as well because that would have weakened her claim to become exactly that candidate

and to then have a chance to really become america's successor in the chancery if the c.d.u. wins and that's that's still an if because the party is in a downward trend and so her opinion polls have ratings and now she has to prove that she can turn that trend around both personally for her and for the c.d.u. and if she doesn't then we might well be back to square one in a couple of months from now but here let's talk about angela merkel in all of this because. she has got the support of merkel but at the same time her legacy looms large so what will be america's role in the next 2 years. yes it's a very long goodbye from about also became apparent here at the c.d.u. where she was the representation of the seedy use governmental role leading the government with the social democrats at the same time she is

a living political legend and there's no way that an eclipse can really escape that at the same time we've seen a lot of new tone coming from a k.k.k. is she is known calling for a more proactive role for germany also meaning more military involvement that's a no go for anglo-american right now particularly that coalition and we see a german chancellor who's clearly looking towards the e.u. presidency of germany in the 2nd half of 2020 she wants to deliver german stability through that process and that's why she's becoming much more into an international politician and completely didn't get to her own party to say what the c.d.u. will stand for in the future she also got a bit of criticism here she's adamant that while way the chinese technology provider shouldn't be ruled out immediately from competing for the 5 g. network here in money. the pope party certainly wants to see that debated in the

german parliament we'll see what comes about and reporting on all of it for us our chief political editor. the c.d.u. party conference it like saying thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world a car bomb in a turkish held border town in northern syria has killed 9 people a monitoring group says 2 children are among those killed there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the bombing. pope francis has arrived in japan during his 4 day trip he will visit nagasaki and heart she hiroshima where he's expected to warn of the dangers of nuclear weapons francis on the 2nd and final leg of an asia tour that began in thailand. british comedian and actress sasha baron cohen has accused the facebook of spreading disinformation and amplifying hatred by
