weakness she currently polls at some thirty nine percent in one poll i must stress that came out today matt susi has the other lead contend he was actually pushed out of politics essentially more than decade ago by none other than angela merkel self he's polling at some forty four percent now there's an internal joke here at the c.d.u. that it's a bit like james dean he died the political death early and that's what everybody kept from member in him and kept talking about him so there's a lot of hopes pinned on him. on the health minister he's only polling at about eight percent so there's some expectation that he might be out of the race eventually but this is seems to be pretty much an open race something that is very unusual for the conservative c.d.u. that has become an anglo-american party all right he doesn't use cheap political editor thanks so much iranians have staged massive protests against the united states one day before new american sanctions go into effect against the u.s. a spike since president trump decided to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal and tens of thousands took part
