angela speck? >> i'm here. >> do you have an answer to that, because you're thinking about the shadows and atmospherical effects a lot. >> right. so there's a couple of different things. one of the things is that, you know, we're now at the point where looking at the shadow and understanding exactly where it's going, being able to see it from the outside and the inside at the same time is going to have an impact on how we're looking at atmospheric effects. but i'm not sure, but i think your question was the shadow itself. i think what it is going to do is cast an idea that was put forward for how we determine the shape of the shadow. so there's some interesting effects that happen to do with the fact that as the other angela said, you've got these craters and mountains on the moon that give rise to bailey's beads, but they also mean that you get this interesting visual effect, that the shadow of the moon is not actually a circle. in fact, it is not even just a stretched out circle. it is kind of an

angela merkel is a great deal more distant than that. would a different leadership style have made a difference to the outcome during the recent years of crisis? >> no. i don't think it's a question of angela merkel's leadership style. she leads by telephone. not by eating, rather disgusting meals in a bungalow in southern germany as kohl did. no, it's not the leadership style. it's the leadership substance. and kohl always realized -- ursula just said that recently that he didn't care for the details of economics. he had the big picture in mind. and he knew that the big problem was this 18 million germans in the center of europe. you need counterbalances if you're -- if europe isn't going to fall apart. and he worked on that all the time. the main counterbalance was the euro. under merkel we've seen the euro become instead of a method of counterbalancing german strength, a means of increasing german strength and predominance. and that is the problem. and that doesn't go away by having meals. that only goes away by changing economic poli

among those to congratulate him, his former protege, angela merkel.n 1982, he filled his first major ambition, ousting the social democrats from the chancellorship. history came down on his side. when the berlin wall fell, kohl seized the opportunity for reunification. after a visit to the caucuses, he convinced mikael gorbachev. he also did his best to put aside his western ally -- allies'concerns. >> people can second-guess and say might have happened anyway, who is to say. if you might have asked me, in this century we are in now, probably. it took strong leadership. it took a man of principle who could work with different points of view. >> kohl's second great ambition was european unity. he and the french president shared an important friendship and they clasped hands at the german should carry -- at the german cemetery. kohl campaigned for a european and economic currency union and for the introduction of the euro. by 1991, elation had given way to disillusionment. the forcing landscapes promised by kohl had dematerialized. even though kohl lost

next there was this from angela merkel.tion: those who believe that the problems of this world can be solved by isolationism or protectionism are terribly wrong. solved by isolationism or protectionism are terribly wrong. remember doanld trump is enthusiastic about protectionism and isolationism. it‘s worth bearing this in mind though. as david vuyanovich of afp puts it — "there must be an election just around the corner." yes, the german election is in september, and, yes, mrs merkel is trying to hit two birds with one stone. jenny hill in berlin can take up the story. if you listened to angela merkel addressing mps in the german parliament this morning you got the sense of the german chancellor was preparing to do battle. she was doing a couple of things. first of all, she was playing to a home crowd, she has an election later this year and she knows that were many germans are concerned about donald trump‘s administration, that boosts her own domestic ratings. but she is also very keen to use this opportunity, particularl

you know, angela merkel is saying it is time to take our faith into our own hands. this point in time, a pipe dream and nothing more. why is she saying it? if they cannot walk the walklk, why are they talking the talk? rieke: you can always try to do the walk, actually. i mean, we have talked about this to a great extent, that she said to a clear constituency -- she has elections coming up. i think it is a good point to say europe and the european union should have more self-confidence in the relationship with america. i think there is nothing wrong with that. it is the question of all of this for the americans and the europeans, how the rhetoric is. i think trump has a point to say that we do a lot for defense, on spending, but you do not. how do you do that? do you do that in front of a new building, having all the world leaders behind you, looking dumb? or do you do it behind closed doors? europe and the european union should be confident. do you talk with macron? both sides have a point. the looks and the rhetoric are bad. may of the bearing the germans for what

angela merkel and emmanuel macron held a joint press conference at the european summit. unity all over. especially when it came to one of the most contentious issues, the legal migration and the refugee crisis. the positions taken by chancellor merkel were brave decisions and i hope we don't have to repeat them. in any case, i will do anything to stand by you because of this common challenge. it requires common answers. seems like this from last weekend have become more and more frequent. more than 50,000 refugees have crossed the mediterranean. 8.6% increase compared to 2015. leaders come in with their support for the libyan coast guard to slow illegal end of the migration. >> there is a high degree of consensus between germany and france. we are talking about border security as well as the causes of migration. german french initiative on the subject of trade and climate policy at a summit that seems to embrace the new kind of european optimism. brexit is just a side note. that >> doesn't mean that we don't need to have intense negotiations with u.k.. we need to focus m

angela merkel voted no in an open vote so she knew that her vote would be seen.n a law that no she knew would be passed because it has such broad support. it was seen as tactical. it was seen as giving a nod to her far right conservatives and more religious members and supporters of her conservative bloc. split in been a real oc on this issue but there had been voices of concern from conservative members saying if they voted to support gay marriage, and force their more right-wing members into the alternative for germany. it is being interpreted as a tactical move from angela merkel. it is also a gamble. she have given a nod to her far wast supporters, but this an important vote in germany. we heard words like tolerance, and to discrimination, equal rights for gay citizens. she has placed herself on the wrong side of this historic vote. to seemed conciliatory when she spoke to the press afterwards saying she still believes marriage is between a man in a woman. she does now believe gay couples should be allowed to adopt. to beuld like this vote over as soon as pos

>> well, that worked td system not to talk about political program worked twice for angela merkel not everything that worked twice will work for the third time because you can see in europe we have a crisis there, you can see the difficulties of relationships with the united states with president trump there. people expect their political leaders to tell them what direction will be. therefore i don't think angela merkel will have it as easy as the last two times just to get away with not talking about how the tax system will be, how the pension system will be, how she wants to bring europe in a way together to withstand policies that donald trump is advocating. we have a very experienced european leader and we have a very enthusiastic politician was able to i think explain to voters what the social democrats want to do good for our country and good for the future of our country. angela merkel's experience and she was successful but doesn't have many ideas left for the future and i think the election campaign will show that. >> one other question for you, i'm intrigued about german rel

we'll be right back charles: so remember when angela merkel said europe might have to go to loan? well, she was joined by ge ceo who tweeted this last night. the paris agreement, climate change industry must now lead and not depend on the government. you know, i think both of them met meant those comments as threats. but wouldn't it be great if taxpayers stopped subsidizing nations and businesses? here togues, peter morici is back with matt welch. kristen, let me ask you. to being i said to myself. >> i'm somebody thanks markets are great for solving problems. it doesn't mean that i don't think there's no role for government, especially on the issue with the environment. dealing with internallities when i do something that causes harm to something else, the government has a role to step in there. but that's very different from massive subsidies from industries and stuff like that. so to the extent that we can have some kind of framework that protects the environment but markets do what they do, i think that's a good thing. charles: matt, of course angela merkel upset about the who

german chancellor angela merkel has been leading tributes to former chancellor helmut kohl, who died earlier today. kohl, who served from 1982 to 1998, was the longest-serving postwar chancellor, the architect of the country's reunification in 1990. european flags are flying at half mast today in brussels. tributes are pouring in from around the world. helmut kohl was 87 years old. let's look back at his life. it was one of the defining moments of helmut kohl's political career. just weeks after the fall of the said figureskohl of reunification in motion. and it is what delay german chancellor wanted to be remembered for. chancellor kohl: we germans don't have too many reasons to be proud of our history, but i have reason to be proud of those years when i was chancellor. better, nothing than germanroud of, reunification.

politicians interviewed nearly 100 witnesses, including german chancellor angela merkel. the report reveals a wealth of information about german and international intelligence operations. but they remained at odds over what exactly went wrong, and in particular, who was to blame. "what ever criticism might be appropriate for the nsa and its activities, we shouldn't lose sight of the big picture. agreed, mistakes were made and the nsa's activities were not what we want for our own agencies. but let's be honest, thanks to help from u.s. intelligence, we were able to prevent worse things from happening in germany more than once." "this massive data surveillance was not only a violation of the u.s. constitution. here in germany, too, it was without any foundation, and in contravention of the country's basic law." edward snowden, a contractor at the u.s. national security agency, triggered the parliamentary investigation by leaking details about u.s. spying practices around the world, including nsa eavesdropping on the phone of chancellor angela merkel. the political scandal d

the bill is widely expected to pass after chancellor angela merkel dropped her long—term opposition toy as the end of a long fight draws near. the free vote on gay marriage is something many campaigners thought they'd never see, under chancellor angela merkel, but now it's happening. translation: with the sdp, the left, the greens, we have a majority in parliament, and there are several democrat representatives who say, we are standing on your side. in a surprise test earlier this week, the chancellor revised her opposition to same—sex marriage, saying instead that christian democrats should make a personal decision rather than follow the party line. coalition partners the social democrats seized the opportunity, forcing today's historic vote before the recess. translation: it's good that a vote of conscience will finally be allowed, but angela merkel has blocked marriage equality for long enough. we are not obliged to thank them. as germany heads towards an election, it seems mrs merkel was left with little choice. two other opposition parties, the free democrats and the greens, also

german chancellor angela merkel has set out her priorities clearly.alking about the future of the eu first and then about britain's withdrawal. the scale of the summit suggests just that. the leaders will talk about brexit for dessert. brent: max, brexit for dessert, i guess theresa may just added something a little sweet to the menu? correspondent: she did, although it is quite clear how sweet it actually is. she apparently promised other leaders that note eu citizen living lawfully in the united kingdom would be forced to leave after breakfast. some details of this the deal are emerging. at least five years before a certain cutoff date, there might be a grace. -- a grace period. it might depend on the details who gets to stay and who doesn't. but from the side of the u.k., there is a certain amount of goodwill. brent: we know the eu's main concern is the future of the union post-brexit. have leaders decided on anything? correspondent: they are trying to make progress on specific topics that people believe are very important for eu citizens and that

angela: yes, i do. francine: will it work? angela: i see it very difficult of how it will work. know what the negotiations are. if they keep her as prime minister, whatever deal is done they are compromised by that and that brings into question the agreements. they will want something in return. they will not say, yes, we will vote for you, fine. they will want something in return and we need to see with that is. francine: what do we think it is? i am assuming part of it will be investment into the region. is there anything else more problematic? angela: that has consequences. what do you do with scotland? that immediately looks at the budget and implications there. i do not want to speculate what they are asking for but i would treat anything like this with caution. the election decision did not give theresa may her mandate and the majority that she asked for. i think she ought to consider her position and clearly she has not been doing so. this is not sustainable. francine: is it sustainable, and will we have early elections? ed: i do not think there is an appetite for early e
