my words to have intercultural understanding my name and the one way you and i will wait until. this is to give you news live from berlin the party of chance i'm going to america has a new leader delegates choose our mean lasher to take the helm of the conservative c.d.u. party in a close 2nd round vote with general elections later this year la should now has a good shot to be the party's candidate for chancellor. also coming up 5 more years in power for one of africa's longest serving leaders uganda as an electoral

commission declares president yoweri loose of amy as the winner of national polls his rival but we want claims of fraud amazing instrument. i'm way of good craft welcome to the program germany's governing c.d.u. party has chosen a new leader our main lash at the head of the country's most populous state party delegates elected lash out in a convention that's been postponed since last year due to the pandemic and took place largely on line in the contest was it necessary after uncle americans 2018 pick to leave the party resigned last it's when puts him in a strong position to be c.d.u. chancellor candidate in elections later this year but claiming that spot will hardly be easy. a centrist a team player a successful campaign or the c.v.

you has chosen arm in lesh it to lead it in a year which will see elections in 6 german states and the national vote in september when angle americans time as chancellor will come to an end. in mid air for. i am conscious of the responsibility that goes with this office this through and i will do all i can bring us together through this year united states elections in a few weeks since i'm in big fan of federal election. when we want to make sure that the next chancellor is also from this party next can slash in 2017 law should lead the c.d.u. to victory in germany's most populous state north rhine-westphalia and the party is clearly hoping he can keep winning at the polls. by rejecting freidrich merits of businessman who looks likely to move the party to the right the c.d.u.

delegates seem to think the key to electoral success in the post merkel era will be more of her friend of compromise oriented conservatism the new leader now has to unite his party and make the case for continuity. but in the reputation of chancellor merkel both here and internationally can be summed up in one word trust we need this trust as a party but i but you can't just pass trust on trust for what has to be earned by. these us for trial when most money. yes broad support for politicians is all the more important in a time when democracy is under threat lash it not known as a power and policy expert mentioned this international perspective. for teh one is trust is something fundamental for our scar in america it is broken.

and the president has polarized he has sown division mistrusts by systematically lying and destroying trust democracy could or could not have. height one foot tall one. flash it has been criticized for his handling of the corona crisis in his home state today he said after kovi to the country will need to modernize press ahead with green transformation and maintain strong links abroad does it mean for germany that i imagine is a european germany is a leader in the world through its excellence as a model citizen and it's humanity. wouldn't it the question now will be whether army unless it is the man to run for the job of chancellor in september that is not certain and potential rivals are already waiting in the wings. let's

get more now from the author of that report our political correspondent simon young he's here with us simon what gave lash at the edge to win over his 2 opponents. well william in the end i think what really gave you the edge was he's proven electoral success he's a moderate he's a miracle loyalist but what he's also cause is an election when under his belt back in 2017 he led the c.d.u. to victory in north rhine-westphalia and people remember that they looked at him in this important election year there are 6. regional states elections and the big national election in september coming out conservatives are worried about how that's going to go forward they're doing well in the polls at the moment but things can always change i think reliability was the thing that lash it ran on

and reliability seems to have been was won it for him particularly in the final runoff against the arch conservative friedrich merits some say he was a bit too much of a sort of a tough guy. in lash it is a team player and that was what people seem to like or see what people thought about him stay with us while we listen to a couple of thoughts of germans on the street. i'm very pleased i've always liked him as a politician in north rhine-westphalia i welcome it i like it. he's a good man and politics here in brussels off to absolutely ok. for government experience alone is not enough it's also a question about how progressive and how good the experience is i could imagine something else and. i know for sure that when a slave understood my love i give reasons he wouldn't have been my choice he's too inconsistent for my taste always changing in the 1st wave of the current virus he

wanted to ease restrictions. as if it were a bidding war. you know a man when at last and he's still about it didn't he and and i don't like that it's not the right approach. for me and i took. a couple more voices there are viewing airing their thoughts about last night of course was just a 1001 delegates giving their vote you know partially to logic so how does he stack up now when we look towards the chancellor candidate in the months ahead. well indeed that's the big question and lash it might want to stand himself as the person to follow angle americal in the chancellor a that's possible but it's not a foregone conclusion because unlike in some other countries there's no automatic rule that says the leader of the party that gets the most votes must themselves be

the chancellor so who else could it be will lash it ran together with yet spawn the health minister. on a sort of joint ticket for this leadership and got a lot of backing from spawn a lot of people think spawn could be a future future chancellor but there's another possibility as well that's the bavarian state premium are concerned he so far has a said whether he wants that job but a lot of c.d.u. c.s.u. conservative supporters think he would be really the best choice of wool so far he said he's going to wait until the state elections in mid march and he thinks that the party should make a decision until that because he may be waking waiting to see if the last little spawns slip up between now and then this on line party just alone had its you know share of challenges how does what we saw today and over this weekend reflect challenges in germany or the image it's trying to project. well of course the party

congress had to be held online really because of corona restrictions but it did give policy and opportunity to show off its digital skills and they did that pretty well i think it's important because they want to stress that germany's future lies with digital skills perhaps moving away from manufacturing in the decades to come so it all went pretty well not too many glitches and i mean lash himself said it set a benchmark for the phone says all right simon young thanks very much. let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world here in berlin farmers and climate activists have demonstrated against industrial farming practices they denounced german and e.u. agricultural policy and called for greater climate protection animal welfare and an end to genetic modification. thousands of demonstrators have marched in paris and other french cities against a controversial security law that would make it illegal to publish videos of police

11th on t.w. . young moroccan immigrants. they know the police will stop glad. that the root is the solution. they know their flights could be fatal. but baggage is not an option shattered dreams starts january 18th on t.w. . i it is wednesday january 5th 6 thousands of followers managed to invade the ground something united states capitol in washington d.c. in a matter of about an hour they will completely overwhelm diploid capitol police force . we are following trump supporter. yeah and standing around the

capitol want to hear. it's really it's wild. peeta boy can with his parents and north carolina but only temporarily he says whenever time allows one can find peter at the town center off neighboring graham making a stand for a trump. 43 year old boykin for the 1st time one generally 50 washington on the day before what the president had promised to become a quote wild protest peter was to get a feel for things today while he roams the grounds of capitol hill he's keeping busy live streaming to his followers.

and i'm here at the capitol building it's january 5th. there's people everywhere there's different things going on there where the camera. looking for a special moment. peter is founder of a group called gays for trump and of the initiative go right he describes himself as a gay republican supporter his main interest today meeting and listening to a long time ally roger stone in november $2900.00 stone was sentenced to 40 months and. prison after jury convicted him of making false statements witness tampering and obstructing justice however president trump commuted stones for the sentence in july 2020 and pardoned him in december stony speck on the scene now doing the president's bit. evidence of election fraud is not only growing it is

overwhelming and it is compelling we've done all for the war and we dare not fail if we stay true victory will be our. thank you god surrounded and protected by members of the so called oath keepers one of the largest radical anti-government groups of us stone disappears quickly however his blatant lies about winning the election and the existence of any evidence of my spread election fraud linger with the crowd and with peter boykin i've seen social media do social trends and statistics i don't see 8000000 vote 80000000 votes it just doesn't make it it doesn't make sense that passes it doesn't pass all the smell test. people beliefs stones every word that the election was stolen and now he decides to call the day he has big plans for tomorrow i got a rally tomorrow. at 9 am his self declared mission making everybody understand

that an ominous left will be taking over america of republicans and trump supporters don't take the fight seriously we're fighting they're fighting a battle. when stay the 6th of january it's a cold and early morning for peter after spending last night sleeping in his comedy setting up for his rally. a seemingly endless stream of determined trump supporters from all over the country as soon flowing out of washington's iconically union station none of them seem to really notice we're struggling for their attention with the pre-court speech layering from 2 speakers. and folks i wonder one day are we really in the fight are we in the end days because are we in the middle of the fight the fight against evil because these evil forces they have no problem trying to destroy the world and bring chaos on us for peter and for

hundreds of thousands of other trump followers evil equals the left only loosely defined on purpose the left is a mark that can be expanded and slept on to anybody who dislikes were disagrees with donald trump with his policies and actions peter and other so-called trump are so convinced the left has it out for them therefore they see their cold war against evil simply as a matter of self-defense the problem is you find every single day you find the left doing all sorts of crazy nasty stuff screwing children do whatever and they find the evidence and they're not in jail they're not getting in trouble they don't get in trouble what's what's scary right now is you've got the senators and you've got the congress and you've got the president. well you know what they're going to do they're going to systematically like they said they're going to find out us strong supporters in there come and find us and they're going to start locking us up they're going to get a list of us and they're going to find us and they're going to do it you should

know your from your from your you know you're from germany you know how it was in germany they came down and they pulled people out of their houses and took them to i care so that's what we're worried about you know you're preparing a potential democratic led government yeah you know you talk about real nazis they're not things like the secret police to biggest yeah they're fascists look what they do on facebook and big and big tech so the democrats are 1st yes they're the real fascist because they don't well you know you can't go on i can't go up and talk to a democrat. well the democrats and i can talk a little now the minute i shouted thought i'm going to that's going to yell at me. after about 3 hours of waiting for somebody to attend his rally for even just a few minutes a frustrated peter decides to pick up. around the same time he gives up president donald trump addresses thousands of save america rally attendees to the white house . the radical left knows exactly what did doing there are ruthless

and it's time that somebody did something about it and we're going to the capital and we're going to try and give. the democrats a hopeless said never voting for anything. not even one vote but we're going to try and give our republicans their weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help which is going to try and give them the kind of dry and boldness that they need to take back our country so let's walk down pennsylvania avenue i want to thank you oh god bless you and god bless america thank you all for being nice to see thank you very much i have to trump speech thousands steward's they were told and marched to once congress peter boykin is now also on his way to the capital president and with new energy i know that i'm going to have to fight harder you know i think i give up maybe you know i want to fight harder to do everything i can

a man power to try to get the trust of course the people i whatever move him and go right from will probably continue to have rally feel for him or else in the next 4 years will continue people think then you want pale have a huge following probably have a news network you never actually write right present again. but as peter rice at the capital and just minutes after he gains back his determination to unify hardcore trumper switch republicans things escalate rapidly trumps safe america really turns into iraq. we voted but slump and his elections a fraud and we all know if i want my country that made me i want my country back i'm a bill that's done i don't live in a communist society that's when they're taking it we the people are taking it over because we've been why this should be a good signs of american people in the supreme court lol them that we're not stupid here in america we're not stupid we know there was

a lapse in fraud. it was i think. what many say was an insurrection incited by the president the coup attempt by radicalized from supporters in the moment peter boyd can watch this what ensues from a distance. my question is it is ok for thought of the people to break down the rule. i don't know the constitution states that we feel like they're steering the we take over what did we know since this this country left brit britain because

we felt like we were getting treated. the ram have a revolution because we felt like we were again represented by you over the airwaves for the last 4 years these people don't believe they were set you know we were out of power for 8 years by a person who probably was the real citizen. not come with the book the stuff. you do sunday generally 10th peter meets us in graham a small town neighboring mabyn where he lives peter doesn't want to talk about his private life smothers a very sick mean internet troll so everywhere he says things at home are complicated and making ends meet driving for over is a challenge he's had 3 days to digest and think about what he experienced in washington for peter one thing is crystal clear. shot then nothing wrong nothing on what all wednesday he spoke to his people and people already going to march in the

capital and they were going to watch the cattle because there was a protest already set up he didn't say destroy the capital enter the capital anything like that and he found out he immediately immediately said stop don't do that. peter's point of view has nothing to do with what really happened president trump was silent for hours before reacting to the rent 2nd of the capital p. just next observational analysis is also a blatant lie peter blames anti for activists for storming the capitol not trump supporters they were there. i saw all we've got to see in a mall they were in disguise there was plenty of state and we always knew that they were going to be in disguise they had no problem getting guys that's the problem with the left the left there are no problem no different than the radical muslims who basically say they have no problem they have no problem hiding themselves and lying to get what they need to get done so they hid themselves they lie i saw plenty of weird extremists that don't don't fit that was yelling at us telling us

the storm the capital and stuff i'd highly doubt that they were regular trump supporters peter's rationalized narrative of the events in washington is utter nonsense i reciting these trumped talking points he exposes himself as part of one of the biggest problems this country congolese faces and the worst the worst separation at this moment and there's no way that's all you know it's just a cloud over this whole election biden will never be a legitimate president and that's our turn 4 years later so i may say and not my president because by the votes. the whole process of. the american flags peter carries and has attached to his car are flying upside down his message this country is in distress if perhaps not with anything else he says with that peter is actually right the united states of america seem to be and may

remain in distress for some time to come. this is. surely he has been dead for 22 years. is a clone of. frozen genetic tissue. and providing hope for endangered species. to passers by a diversity finding species from beyond the grave is this the future. next. i imagine is to the body like not the constitution. to preach their beliefs great science. to love guns and how to tempt for those who think different plane jellicoe let's say. their churches have

a profound impact on society. god bless america. on g.w. i am puzzled yourself by you don't know it's not easy to go to another country you know nothing about the wife of a young boy who gives up because we can't stay on venezuela i know. that because of global news that matters d. w. made for mines. day chad has blessed us with an amazing array of flora and fauna. and researchers around the world are committed to protecting that biodiversity replenishing vital ecosystems and the species that inhabit them means we all have to do alcopops. scavengers can play an important drawl.
