it does and most of all it offends off what was a very significant group within the conservative c.d.u. who were backing fridley schnapps you know lost in that run off who wanted to go a lot more conservative who was less consensus oriented who also in terms of european politics talked about we should stretch those european treaties to the limit so that would have been a very very different kind of style coming out of the german conservative party that late last big tent party here and many. laughs it is nowhere near being that abrasive let's just have a listen to what he had to say just after his victory. on the norm for and joining us from hope it's not have to cast our votes today. so i want to thank you for the great trust you have placed in me. i am aware of the responsibility that this position and tailless. and i intend to do everything in my power to ensure

that i get through this year together and that together we prevail in the state elections only weeks away and in the national elections too. that we can show once again that the new chancellor comes from our ranks. you see the. lash there let's go back to our chief political editor. what do you make of that for not being stopped. well it's interesting that he didn't stress that he has to be the leader that his name has to be on the ballot when he goes to general elections in september but that it should be from amongst the rank and file of the conservative c.d.u. so that opens up quite a significant space for maneuver for other potential candidates and there's one riding sky high in the opinion polls which is the various state premier marcos zuda and the leader of the bavarian c.s.u.

system party there who's quite comfortably sitting on the fence of whether he will throw his hat into the ring in the end and yet. and that's running mates germany's health minister and the face of the pandemic response could also be someone who decides well he has better chances he might do some kind of deal with acid so public opinion polls will matter a lot more from now on words in terms of who will truly get the chance to succeed angela merkel in those key election that september with. the what will now be the main task for. well the main task will be to reunite the party that was a significant rift there still is that has to be healed and to ensure that the c.d.u. actually will have the chance to see who forms the next government because that's by no means a given they are up against particular stiff competition when it comes to the greens who've been able to gain a lot of political ground for now the conservative c.d.u.

is looking pretty strong particularly also because of the corona pandemic response but a couple of months is a very long time in politics in general and particularly in such unusual times like this corona pandemic we see that the picture can change on a weekly basis so thinking about this newly showed party room will his defeated rivals be on board do you think with this unifying task. well no but what can the global strategist definitely yes he said so when he conceded defeat greatly wished everybody good luck so that sounds a lot less like somebody who wants to stay engaged he hasn't made clear yet what role he would want to play but one thing's for sure if he wants to have a chance to get a seat at the cabinet table if and when the next conservative chancellor is elected he will have to do a lot of the party legwork right now and that is something that he's quite clearly

avoided over those past months so we'll see who that team that it is pushing for will be in the end so the leadership is clearly the big ticket item but what else is being decided at this party congress. well actually a lot of the rank and file at the top are being exchanged so a lot emanated from who was elected into that top post so yes we're seeing over a new of the conservative party here and partly in terms of who leads it at the same time we see a clear linear continuation of the machall centrist course. chief political editor of many things the electoral commission in uganda has announced the final result from the selection the clearing incumbent president you were a 70 the winner the 76 year old is one of the world's longest serving leaders his

main challenger singer turned lawmaker bobby wine is accusing 70 of fabricating the results calling calling the poll the most fraudulent in the history of uganda ugandans to reject the results electoral commission has dismissed the other guy sions earlier won and a group of journalists covering the vote said they were forced to flee from soldiers posted to the opposition candidate compound in the capital of temple. ok let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world now rescue efforts are ongoing in indonesia after friday's earthquake on the island of so the ways people are still feared trapped in the rubble of dozens of houses knocked down by the powerful traumas more than 40 people have been killed and 600 injured. are joining us health secretary has announced he will step down citing the recent storming of the taffeta by donald trump supporters of the corona virus pandemic will remain in his post until president elect joe biden is sworn in is announcement

out of new cannot read t.n.t. has powerful enemies italy's number one mafia hunter is leading the fight against the notorious calabrian network then that i'm getting his on all mini they learn that i get that there are men of the internet get there within the public administration by attempt to manage it in whole or in part trying to succeed in dominating not only on the economic level but also on the administrative and political level. means that the you are putting think of it out there he has been fighting them for more than 30 years and he has been preparing a strong message to send to the calabrian families and the public over the next 2 years more than $350.00 mafiosi and accomplices will take the stand in the biggest mafia trial in decades here and especially build bunker courtroom set up to accommodate them together with hundreds of lawyers and witnesses the in the i'm

getting now operates in the shadows for example by importing tons of cocaine from that america and quietly buying power and influence over europe this and their twisted but strong sense of family are the main reasons why it's so hard to fight the family clans the we haven't who are tells us now working with prosecutors he was raised to become a powerful mafiosi quite adamant that if you start with. guns as a child they make you shoot. they carry guns and you're a kid and it's all a game to you. the other kids have toit guns but your guns are real you're not afraid of being beaten but of disappointing those who are training you. smuggle drugs extorted people and even participated in murders but after the birth of his 2nd child he decided this life was no longer for him and turned against his own family. when it became known that ambushed me twice within 12 hours the 1st time i
