predecessor likely future rival, donald trump, with germany set to choose his next chance or this weekend of the 16 years of anglo merkel at the helm, we the get now special election coverage. ah . hello friday evening, and he ramos, my name is called him bray. welcome to you with news from arte international. first for you. then katelyn, separately to call us pushed him all has been released from custody, but will remain on the italian island of saw denise until saturday to face judges as his extradition trial is still pending. it comes off of the former president of the capital store as he was arrested on thursday in italy. something that became possible after he was stripped of immunity as a european parliament mp. he's wanted on a range of charges including the district and has sorts been sold by spanish, or has been any 4 years. meanwhile,

hundreds of gathered in barcelona around the italian con, to protest the detention and demand his release. coffee correspondent, alien try and kept and andrew farmer discussed the reaction to the events from europe, where politicians have rounded, his arrest, a disgrace. the spanish disgrace just doesn't stop. neither does the european disgrace. solidarity was call us put more, the spanish state is abusing the us war and by using it in this way, allow people to exercise their democratic right to vote is not a crime. there is only one way to still be insistent repression of the states. amnesty self determination and independence total supports mr. president, there's definitely could be the turning point in the fate of catalan independence theater calls pushed him on and it could be the end of freedom for him. he was arrested upon arrival on the italian island of sardinia, where he was supposed to take part and a meeting that's about capital one full core,

just cultural stuff. nothing to do with independent well on friday. and italian court is deciding the next steps in the case of mister, put them on. and one of the very likely scenarios is expedition to spain, where he's wanted on several charges, including misuse of funds and sedition, which could mean 25 years behind bars for the former cadillac independence leader. and you may wonder, how is that possible if he was supposed to be protected by parliamentary immunity as a member of the european parliament? well, earlier this year in march, in fact, mister put them on and his allies worse stripped of that parliamentary immunity by other. busy m p 's, even though a 3rd of them were firmly against it and that was a very tense day and that parliament building isn't it these days the europe and parliament for the last already unity but the europe and parliament lot more than

that. but he didn't get the results. it is also launching. reese goes on. well, we may be opening the door to other member states to prosecute any piece from presenting minorities for body to govern. and you know, these is, these would be a tremendous tragic, but i haven't the, the problem and she's not open quite as we heard him leave exposure. mom has been wanted by the spanish authorities for several years now and always stemming from castle and you paid for independence wide back to the event that were happening exactly 4 years ago in september 2017. when the catalan regional parliament led by calls put them on, initiated a referendum, all the regions independence went on despite the constitutional court in madrid, declaring it illegal. i remember how a vast majority of voters back then supported independence. even though the

unionists decided to boycott that referendum and it all resulted in a very brutal crack down on the independence movement, with voters being severely beaten by police politicians being jailed at that time. some people were even saying that these events were giving flashbacks of dick tutorial, spain of the middle of the 20th century, the mm the and i remember how. busy it all ended so now catalonia never became independent and

even its autonomy. busy was taken away by madrid, some of the independent theaters were jailed, but call pushed him on, was able to flee spain. however, the spanish thought he decided to change their tactics. and let's see what the italian court has to say about that. of some thoughts on this, anna ark from the independence campaign movement, the international commission of european citizens things dialogues impossible until the spanish government properly listened to the people of catalonia. yeah, we need to, we need to the point that the company teach and they agreed to the strategy that is to try to dialogue with the spanish state. that doesn't mean them imply that the catalan movement they move in on the scene. pharaoh is a strategy because actually many of us, we think that does not much to talk with somebody that doesn't recognize the nation and doesn't work. right. seems to come and 17,

when the carlos put one acceptance to stop the indefinite of colonial, i was on tried to stick with the spain. if nothing has been achieved, as i was saying, is 4000. she deserves the job as a right to the sensation of mission and repression is, is a reality is a concept that is happening a colonial european citizens. at the moment the canadian province of quebec has outlawed coven related rallies, new schools, and medical and vaccination facilities. the bill claims to protect children and health workers from what it calls the dangerous impact demonstrations. and critics was that it denies people's right to protest the lower bounds demonstrations or better incitement within 50 meters of schools and clinics. offenders face a thousands of dollars in fines. medical and school staff though a still allow to protest in their workplace. little fellows, the number of fancy vaccine protests outside schools in quebec, the largest city,

montreal, that of the province that his patience had reached its limits. after some of the rallies of erupt across the country turn violent all to contribute, lauren chin and lawyer, julius grey look at the reactions to the bill. according to premier le go, this bill is necessary because he alleges that protesters could be intimidating or preventing access to students and patients. not everybody is in favor of this proposal though, and some are claiming that it would be a violation of free speech and freedom of assembly. the problem is that i cannot see why such a law is not. because if the demonstration is violent or culture was loud, it can already disperse, under the criminal code and under various law. so there's absolutely no reason because i think they want to saw the message from

b and b. and that's the case. then it's a very serious contravention of the trust. and for anyone who does believe that such a law would infringe on the canadian charter of rights and freedoms, which does guarantee freedom of assembly and freedom of speech. remember that any and all of the freedoms outlined in the charter are subject to what it called reasonable limitations by the government. and as we have seen time and time again, when different court cases have led that certain restrictions violates human rights in canada, such as the canadian florentine hotel, it does seem that canadian judges are the opinion that if something is done supposedly in the name of stopping the spread of co bid than any and all limitations on canadian rights and freedoms are in fact, reasonable. meanwhile, anti vaccine protests of also gripped australia with a 5th day of rallied melbourne against mandatory jabs for all construction workers . authorities of the single out building sites after a spike in corona virus cases in them by

a police of arrested hundreds of demonstrators over the past. we can find pepper spray and rubber bullets less than a year off. coming to office jo biden's, popularity has already slumped. to below that of his predecessor, now possible rifle at the next election, donald trump, and just 3 months biden's ratings have collapsed by more than 10 percent. the court has got a panoramic spiraling out of control historic military defeat and a border crisis to boot. americans are starting to think things weren't as bad as they thought under former president, donald trump, the mounting issues on all fronts of lead to the surprise conclusion that trump is now seen as being as good a president as biden suggesting the honeymoon is being replaced with buyer's remorse. first on the list, afghanistan, the washington shameful defeat, that concluded its 20 year long war was the last straw. for many americans, the disastrous withdrawal of us troops and surrendering of millions of dollars of

military tax to the taliban. had republicans and democrats alike demanding the biden administration, be held accountable. ah ah ah ah ah. ah, the afghan a stand might feel like a world away from america, but there is no shortage of problems at home under biden's administration. the

earlier this month biden announced a number of vaccine testing and mask mandates, which is proving to be the latest american political spac connected to the pandemic effecting around 2 thirds of the us workforce. it wasn't long before the cries that biden is violating people's freedom of choice, were heard. 24 republican state attorney generals or even threatening lawsuits really disrupt and divides the country. it increases the division in terms of vaccination when we should all be together along the campaign trail biden promised to make the country southern border a more humane place. instead, thousands of migrants are living in horrific condition. like under the del rio international bridge, the immigration crisis is getting worse as thousands more asylum seekers come knocking at the u. s. his door and to top it all off. biden's approach hasn't changed much from that of the trump administrations. kids are still being put in cages. and despite biden's many promises to would be green card holders,

many migrants are being deported back home without getting their chance at asylum. ah, with a track record like biden's and not even a whole year in office. it's no wonder over half of america thinks the country is on the wrong track. without sea, from moscow, it's a big we can for germany. of course, there's an election on the way and it means the end. the 16 is of angular merkel of leadership. who will be next all special coverage gets going among our stories after the break. ah,

ah, ah, ah ah, i use i are not about but that's actually, oh, really done thing. the great thing about it mean available to everybody think a bit more like

a public news via this is our event in anybody in the world can view for free. ah, oh, hello again. sunday is election day in germany with the country gearing up to answer the big question. who will replace chancellor angle merkel? she leaves office after 16 years. empower. ah ah! on thursday candidates how their final debate. but at a rally, shortly before the event merkel was booed. for backing one of the candidates and lashes, a successor. meanwhile, the germans have found some pretty creative ways to say good bye to the chancellor with the toymaker even producing 500 special edition teddy bears in her image. it

features miracles, trademark bob and her signature, diamond shaped gesture. out in the capital berlin. people gathered to paint cocoa portraits of the outgoing liter merkel. korea been full of ups and downs, and she's tackled a rafters, major problems from the pandemic to being spied on by the united states or europe correspond. looks back at the merkel era. after almost 16 years in charge, the time has come for angle merkel to step down as german chancellor. drawing the curtain on a political korea of over 3 decades. coming to office in 2005. she's the 3rd longest serving german chancellor of old time, only her mentor helmet co held a position longer in postwar germany angler. myrtle has achieved something that most politicians haven't at their time of leaving office. she has remained popular with a large chunk of the voters. no small achievement. when you look at the challenges

she's had to face me, germany, whether the financial storm that began with the collapse of layman brothers back in 2008 better than most countries. a 480000000000, euro bailout for the banks and managing to keep on employment figures from spiking to high, sor, i'm the local, reelected in 2009. then came the collapse of grief and the fear that could never pay any of it to push the single currency close to the brink and a tidal wave of criticism crushing down a miracle and heard government's view. 2013. so whistleblower. edward snowden reveal that the united states had kept detailed tubs on senior german officials, including chancellor merkel, her phone being tapped by washington. protests on the streets of germany,

were followed up with more diplomatic comment from the chancellor. we have always made it clear to the u. s, president, buying among the french is not acceptable to me. one of the biggest moments of angle americans tenure came in 2015 with the refugee crisis. her statement via shuffle. so we can do it. she did a policy which saw hundreds of thousands of refuge. she is fleeing the conflict and syria coming here to germany. something which saw anglo merkel revealed by some reviled by others. each daughter guns, i simply say that germany, the strong country we have already managed. so many things we can do it. and whenever there is something sending, you know, way, if you don't need to cross that bridge, which is need to work with these are going to invite the indoor. so we have not migrant lows and search for and what we are seeing right now has no relevant to the present minutes, which is merkel repeat constantly. we work with it,

but she is not offered. a structured solution is on the chancellor medical actions in regard to refugees change the makeup of the german parliament is opposition to her policies on asylum allowed the anti migrant alternative for germany party to win seats in the bottom. the stag, becoming the largest opposition party to her government, making things difficult to her when addressing the chamber. i me there being no easy route to the finish line for angular merkel though. her government policies on the coven pandemic set off a small but vocal opposition that it was point threatened to storm the bottom, the stomach. i

me me, me, me, the retreat from afghanistan provided the chancellor with more problems in her final weeks with accusations of rifts within her cabinets over how best to evacuate people from cobble and then issues over who had been able to get on german playing . this lever will continue the evacuation operation for as long as possible in order to help afghans who work with it or security. freedom for the rule of law and development to leave the country. we currently have a very pragmatic procedure. we only carry out the security check upon entry to the country. we have now identified 4 cases of people who had already been deported. border now in germany with,

as she prepared to vacate the chancellor's office just behind me. alarm bells ringing loudly. an angle of merkle, christiy, and democratic union party, as they slump to record lows in the polls. the chancellor's final address to the bone, the stag, which became a tenant to promote the new candidate arm and lush. it as her successor ended in a barrage of hackles. god is just about foreign policy and nato in europe. and what if i have been with this gym and boom, descent for with here is the democracy and this is exactly what will be discussed me. despite the obvious challenges, the merkel years will go down as a time of relative stability for most germans. her policies have made it easier for families to balance. children with korea's employment figures have remained steady

while the economy is enviable in the you. internationally, germany has taken a far more prominent role under miracles leadership than it is had in modern times . one of the big concerns right now though, is that with no clear successes, to angle america, in terms of policy or certainly international clout, what will become of those years of stability that we've seen to her reign, piece roll of her r, t, berlin, and miracles, a big political shoes to fill 2 when you consider just a snapshot of what she stared at, one of the power houses of the you through the last decade and a half of during her time in charge. merkel has worked with for american president for french leaders and 5 british prime ministers from george w bush to joe biden, from jacques chirac to emanuel macross. him from tony blair to boris johnson. multiple walls have dominated headlines in that time to including afghanistan, syria, d. m, and she's also played

a key role to help save the euro currency after the 2008 financial collapse. and in the aftermath of lock dam spearheaded an unprecedented trillion euro e u wide, pandemic recovery funded. so what is legacy as far as germans on the street are concerned, we've been to find out like it's been a long time. i've experienced 3 chance i call schmidt and merkel. it's strange when you're 54 and you've only had 3 chancellor in general. i think she did a lot of good things for the country and also made a lot of strange decisions with c. d. u is not my pardon me, but i think she can happily retire. i will miss mrs. mccullough, because i'm not satisfied with the current candidates, i would have preferred her. i think mrs. miracle has done a good job, very charismatic. she's accepted everywhere in the world. another city you border. you can admire the woman for longer than too long. mrs. merkel should have gone 4 years ago now. she has lost her way. she did a lot of good in the 12 years before,

but now you can see that she's out of steam. or let's explain how the election process is going to work over the weekend. voters don't directly choose the chancellor. instead they have to vote to decide the next parliament. the 1st ballot is for a candidate in that constituency, and there are $299.00 constituencies across germany. the 2nd ballot is for a political party or $47.00 of them running for states this sunday, but only parties that secure more than 5 percent of the vote nationwide convention . and the bundle tug that was we mentioned the favorite to take over the chance the ship is arm and lashes. michael successor as party chief of the christian democrats, he defended medical immigration policies which have tightened decided rules in recent years. and he wants germany to maintain a strong and independent foreign policy, but he suffered a number of gaps hearing is pre election campaign or c d u party member max also

told us that medical made for catastrophic decisions during her 15 years of how germany is very well liked in the world or it's because it gives a lot of money to always is in the forefront of don't conferences. it always agrees that it raises from the, you know, a degree in the us on many things. so in that sense, we are still liked, but we have lost much of the industrial base because this countries in decline, we have and not done for catastrophic decisions in her under her watch. this was the energy, the complete change in energy policy, which we call an event in 2011. then there was of cost the euro, the asked, and the failed measure to, to save the euro, which ended in disaster and the deep depression and the european self and in division and of cause. 3rd was c. i'm controlled immigration policy and migration

policy. 2015 and now it's a wrong approach is covered. so it really has a disastrous record which may not be perceived in the world. she'd never formulated german positions. she come up, i think basically want to, i'm going to disappear as a political union and so do quite a few people in the ruling class of the governing class in germany. i mean, this is really a weird psychology. so i, as i can't find anything good in terms of a major decisions climate activist granted some work is just one of the thousands through a participated in demonstrations around the world. on friday, the teenager took part in the fridays for future protest in berlin. first of the year after they were derailed by cove in the march, of course come to day, the head of the german elections and as well leaders gather in new york to discuss what needs to be done to tackle environmental concerns. activists and the climate change denial means is that greenberg's participation was more about getting votes

for the greens and the german election and climate change. blackmail to watch myself give in and for most back find it even though that have not been fine. being germany to say a huge role in the election and to support the great hockey, hockey, loving the promotion to petition i using that or abuse ad to, to integrate in the policy even though it has nothing to do with really taking, taking into account the bonds of climate s, but it has more to do with just guessing the both as many as they can to use as the symbol for a positive change for program and for science is just so wrong. so

a rational drivers of the wells are based at the economic a brought into focus next to global teams on our tea international. me see this is your media. a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safer? tyson lation, whole community you going the right way? where are you being somewhere? direct? what is true? what is faith?

in the world corrupted. you need to defend the join us in the depths. will remain in the shallows ah, in the land of universal healthcare makes america the country of every man for himself. we have a retirement crisis in this country and we have a health care crisis for seniors in this country as well. so private business has come up with special mechanism for that. it's called the life settlement market. we are a life settlement provider, which means that we buy life insurance policies from primarily seniors throughout the united states who no longer want or can afford their life insurance policies. if you are sick and for want to live a few more years, you consillio life insurance. that way you get more money right away and the company collects your insurance payment off to your dad. there's

a group of people out there. i get hoping that people die soon. what kind of motivation is i give them? when i start crying about them dying? that's usually what it's about. it's just the sheer unfairness of it all. shine me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess on the world. the politic sport business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me the push to wait till the gaining sales have been painted. oh, you thought like we'll take, we'll just take
