non intractable, 7 year conflicts or the un has called the humanitarian catastrophe. destroyed beyond recognition. alice, after the asteroid rescue workers are still pulling people out of the ruins of this detention center in the city of saddam and sending them to hospitals. had a lot of the healthy services. unable to look up from these large numbers of patients, we're talking about 200 or admitted to saddam hospitals in one go. they can come with a piece injured people. woody. these people are victims of an intensified conflict between the government led by the who the rebels and a saudi light coalition, which attempts to restore gaiman's internationally recognized administration. not by the appeal wiley and the weak. the hoodies claimed an attack in the united arab emirates, a member of the alliance. it was followed by saudi asterix in the jamini capital of santa. and then the prison in saddam,

the escalation was condemned by the un. any bombardments that target civilians on the or that is not careful enough to protect civilians is of course, also unacceptable. these escalation needs to stop following the latest asteroid. the coalition says to who these had not reported the detention center as needing protection. yelman's years long conflict has claimed more than 130000 lives and civilians are often among those who suffer the most germany center writes christian democrats have just elected a new leader. federal meds will take over from our mean lash at hoola the parties ill fated. 22 into one election campaign support format was solidified when he won . the 1st challenge of all last one merits called for unity. i had of today's vote

at an online party conference. he will be the parties that leader since 2018 been at $66.00 flish merits may only be a year younger than angular miracle. but he is a man of her generation with a difference. every step of the way melts, tried to fight merkel shift of her conservatives to the center left heathen once quit politics altogether after failing to stop her political rise. now he is back with a sobering message after the conservatives historic eviction from government last year. yolanda smith, you, somebody gave me with this election result. the conservatives have become a serious political restructuring case at risk of bankruptcy on a google duncan with the cd, you losing support across all age groups. last election merits is vowing to redefine conservatism in germany. does um to under customer caught other christian

democratic parties in europe have suffered a much more dramatic. thank. then we have, 1st of all, we have to answer this very question. can we manage to be a party of the middle liberal, conservative social, thereby winning over voters in the long term? that will be a difficult task if got it. taken fleet, lease me out 3 attempts and more than 2 decades to get elected cd you leader. but he's only going to get one shot at renewing the party as he tries to achieve his ultimate aim of one day. becoming chancellor himself manders from did of use chief political editor, mikaela governor ellen mckayla. so what is he like and is his ultimate aim to become the max chancellor? absolutely, that has been his ultimately aim for a long time. he even once offered to anger immacule to join her cabinet without her actually having a free post for him. so he's been knocking at that door, both of the party leadership, particularly a potential sharing government for

a very long time. this is now the height of his political career and now he will really have to build some renewed trust within his own party, which is seeing a lot of in fighting says that crossing election defeat. but particularly with a public where the c d. u is down, it cannot even claim to be ahead with any age group. the this grand old, big tent conservative party that it once was here in germany is clearly cut his work out for him. and he doesn't have that terribly much time. he's 66 years, i guess he'll have one shot if that. yeah. what will be the duration of the cd you and how you think? well, he wants to rethink conservative here in germany. i think it's quite telling that when he just held this major speech today, he didn't even refer to anglo michael, this is after i'm going to michael actually turning down an invitation by him for dinner to resolve their past differences. it seems inconceivable that you can

really redefine and build on what he says those who came before him without referring to angler medical. and so this is the cleanest, clearest break. with the over arching godmother of conservatism here and germany that you could imagine. and at the same time, he's under intense pressure not to throw the baby out with the bathwater because many voters voted conservative in the past because of angular michael, that was her own political conservative brand that made her so successful. now he has to coin his mechanical. thank you very much. now, to a big surprise in germany's theater seen acclaimed director carol serbian cove, turned up at rehearsals in hamburg earlier this month. shock and crew and cast members. as he has been forbidden from lee been his native russia, the authorities granted his request to travel to germany did have you went along to his production i had of opening night for your plea. nobody expected him to be here

to direct. ah, when curio terribly cove direct music choreography and acting come together in a very special way. this time around in hamburg, he's taking on the black monk a live no novella by the great russian playwright, anton, check of an enigmatic prey about the search for one's own identity about liberation . but also about the deep at this of the human soul. and security is very much what the russian director has in mind. oh, to schedule, to record. because the theater is a place where the audience learn something new about human nature science literature. check off the black mark caused controversy in it state image and our production will do the same. i'm sure. who for the director. it's his 1st in person . directorial work. after a break of almost 4 years,

in the summer of 2017, the theater director was arrested in moscow the accusation, embezzlement, of state funds. his supporters are sure it was a show trial targeting a free thinking artist is suspended sentence will not be lifted till next summer. so his statements are cautious, but clear your books you, it's fundamentally counterproductive to play a victim role, which after all, we are all adults and we know how and why the whole thing happened. i have my own says, but i prefer to keep them to myself because our role is cultural people is not to lie, not to fear anything and to maintain a human dignity in all situation was discouraged for when the tale of theater in hamburg invited. sarah burnett cove, nobody really expected him to come. it is no, we don't know how it happened in this respect. it's a miracle to us as well as it is in any case,

a positive signal in terms of cultural policy. but whether it's a positive sick, no, that goes beyond this individual decision. i wouldn't dare say any. think about that since his ard was when the premier celebration is over. here you, sir, i've ranked off will return to moscow. and a reminder, the top stories were following for you, the so called islamic state as long as its largest attack in syria, since it was defeated there in 2019 targets in a prison house. and she had is a cottage lead, stay on democratic forces, see the recapture at most of the inmates who escaped in the chaos. you're watching . feet of the news up next reporter goes with french island to discover the face of thousands of people that i am radio. micah julia, thanks for your time. one of mankind's oldest m.
