9:01 pm
a 1000000 blue cross welcome to the program germany's governing c.d.u. party has chosen a new leader army and the head of the country's most populous state party delegates elected last shit in a convention that's been postponed since last year due to the pandemic and took place mostly on line the contest was necessary after 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 campaigner for c.d.u. has chosen arm in lesh it to lead it in a year which we see elections in 6 german states and the national vote in september
9:02 pm
when angle americans time as chancellor will come to an end. in mid air for most. the responsibility that goes with this office is through and i will do all i can bring us together through this year united states elections in a few weeks since i'm going to shannon a federal election. when we want to make sure that the next chancellor is also from this party next can slash in 2017 last 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 friedrich metz 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 miracle era will be more of her brand of compromise oriented conservatism the new leader now has to
9:03 pm
unite his party and make the case for continuity. misconstruing 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. too. 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 to us is trust is something fundamental for us in america it is broken. and the president has polarized he has shown division mistrusts how systematically
9:04 pm
lying and destroying trust democracy could log not how to highlight one foot tall one says screw it. 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 . for germany that i imagine is a european germany is a leader in the world through its excellence as a model and its humanity. wouldn't mention is tight the question now will be whether 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.
9:05 pm
well william in the end i think what really gave the age 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 state 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 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
9:06 pm
a bit too much of a sort of a tough guy. in lash out as a team player and that was what people seem to like or to see what people thought about him stay with us while we listen to a couple of thoughts of germans on the street it brings us to freedom and 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 unfortunately on this mind a variety of 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
9:07 pm
a man when at last and he saw about it didn't well he didn't and i don't like that it's not the right approach. and i took. a couple more voices there are viewing airing their thoughts about lashon of course was just a 1001 delegates are giving their vote you know partially to life and 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 well to mass it 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
9:08 pm
a sort of joint ticket for this leadership and got a lot of backing from spawn a lot of people think yes spawn could be a featured future chancellor but there's another possibility as well that's the bavarian state premium on because he so far hasn't 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 if 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 then he calls it maybe waking waiting to see if the last little sponsors slip up between now and then this on line party just alone it's 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 an opportunity to show off its digital skills and they did that pretty
9:09 pm
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 lashing himself said it set a benchmark for the phone all right simon young thanks very much. let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world hospitals in the portuguese capital is been have reached full capacity forcing patients to be treated in waiting ambulances or israel's health system is strained under the country's worst coronavirus serves to date the infection rate nearly double that of neighboring spain the country has tightened its lockdown restrictions in response. in vienna protest against coronavirus restrictions has attracted some $10000.00 people many of the protesters which included far right politicians are not wearing masks or respecting social distancing rules austria is in its 3rd lockdown since
