and the second point, i have a different biography than angela merkel.ning the cdu, from a west german cdu, a different tradition. and all of these things give me a different character, my own profile and my own way of dealing with issues, even if i share many views with angela merkel. this makes me a different person, a different politician and not simply a replica of angela merkel. one area where akk certainly isn't a mini—merkel is the extent to which she throws herself into germany's annual carnival celebrations. whole swathes of the country take to the streets in fancy dress and annegret takes on the character of gretel, a grumpy cleaner. this year she made a carnivaljoke about tra nsgender toilets, for which she faced a barrage of criticism. if the cdu party wants to attract younger and more metropolitan voters, is akk striking the wrong tone when it comes to social issues like gay marriage, transgender rights and abortion? translation: the situation in the cdu is such that when it comes to these situations we have a broad spectrum of opinions, ran

angela corey is the chief state attorney here she has. everything and bernie is like her right hand man and victims of crime but as long as they know that there will always be prosecutors fighting for the truth. to. continue to rely on this justice system. the stubbornness the same me it's like i refused to allow her to get again over my daughter's death. and now that she's running for office and all this political stuff. she needs to know that people are supporting me and not support her this could hurt by her not taking the offer it could hurt her campaign which it is. and. this is to give. it's not the glamour job you think it is but. if you have the. world. i've seen the country pretty much from the cab of this truck. if i'm going to have to work the rest of my life. then i'm going to do something i like doing. i don't see this as. i see it as an office. and. i do have a lawsuit going against the state but kind of like my trial. is really not much to do about it you know. all i can do now is wait and see what's going to happen with th

carol: she has been working to set her image as a angela merkel disciple. >> she is coming in after angelakel who has been in office -- he is in her fourth term now and she has become the de facto leader of europe over the last couple years. that -- canoncerned this woman from this small states actually lead germany and the way merkel has? tell us about where she does come from because it is not an area of germany well-known outside the country. david: she comes from the state of the land which is the smallest state in germany. it is an area that was not part of the federal republic until the mid-50's when they had a referendum in with the voters chose to come back from france. it shuttled between germany and france of the past couple years. it is a tiny place. it is like delaware without washington nearby. it is delaware where montana is. us understand her as a politician on the political spectrum, especially because the spectrum feel like it is changing in german politics -- not unique to germany given the world we are living in. where has she been in? -- fit in? what has happened over t

she is there with angela merkel.end saying that there was this hope perhaps angela merkel would reopen the withdrawal agreement. —— andrea leadsom. that is a bit of jockeying for leadership. absolutely. if you believe this speculation, quite frankly, the best chance was last time and she bottled it. but i think there's about 20 or 30 mp5 it. but i think there's about 20 or 30 mps who are thronged or head into the ring. the suggestion clearly is we will have an extension. —— throwing their hat into the ring. it will be on june throwing their hat into the ring. it will be onjune the 30th. you have to have mep sitting in the european parliament. mrs may has been begging for a short extension, to avoid this. the conservative party have except that they do have to realise this may happen. andrea leadsom is showing there is some attraction in the conservative party who think they can put forward a wish list, they can put forward a wish list, they cannot open the withdrawal agreement, they need to accept that and andrea lea

of the world's largest industrial trade opens its doors today in hanover germany german chancellor angela merkel and swedish prime minister left open to show sweden is this year's party to european nations want to improve economic and technological corporations and overseas set to showcase innovations in the fields of engineering as well as artificial intelligence and the super fast five g. mobile. well at the heart of a famine machine getting increasingly closely connected but does the show actually square with reality or is it just show case a pipe dreams of engineers and who will be allowed to build the infrastructure needed for artificial intelligence up occasions and five g. the new standard for ultra fast mobile connection turns out there's hope for weiwei german chancellor merkel stressed she does not want to exclude single provided us from contracts shaping the future. look don't touch simple i contact controls this machine is this hands off robotic arm the future of automation the latest technologies like this one here on display at the hanover trade fair technology is a very pow

is on everyone's mind not only engineers but also politicians german chancellor angela merkel is against excluding companies like who away from infrastructure updates in the industry are off i don't think we should exclude anyone per se but we should rather make sure we set the right standards for our networks and make companies that here to them. be prudent machines working together in harmony reality might not look much like this performance but still robots are getting ever closer to the human coworkers. go to my coworker ferguson now who's. been. a lot of robots and. everyone talking about this. book at this is where industries from all over the world gather to showcase their latest innovations whether that's in artificial intelligence or in five g. what we're getting here is an insight into what the future could look like imagine factories with robots not only communicating with each other but capable of responding to the slightest change in their environment imagine cities with cells driving cars whizzing around and these are the kinds of innovations that we're seeing here and the

the prime minister is off to see angela merkel today and what i think would be fantastic is if angelasupport a proper uk brexit, by agreeing to re—open the withdrawal agreement and there have been rumours that some senior members of german government would be willing to do that. that would obviously, well, you know, the prime minister is seeking a delay, that is what the house has pushed upon her and she will seek a delay to up—30th. as the ——june will seek a delay to up—30th. as the —— june 30th. if we could get the prime minister's deal over the line because the eu have decided to support measures on the backstop, then that would be the best possible outcome. but we will have to see what p whats. s —— what happens. what is striking is the prime minister was explicit last week that she accepted the withdrawal agreement was closed and there would be no renegotiation of the backstop. that has been tried and has not work so, the prime minister has now turned to labour, because she can't get changes on the backstop to win over brexiteers. but andrea leadsom clearly is not thrilled that w

angela merkel promised to fight to the last hour for an orderly brexit. she is running out of time. no—one knows how to secure what could be a new external eu border on the island of ireland. often, she said last night, europe is a matter of war and peace, and in this case you see that. it is and in this case you see that. it is a question of violence or nonviolence. spring has brought no brexit breakthrough to europe's capitals. the british talk of a softer deal has cheered up the government in berlin. if there were a majority for something, and an outcome which would go into the european direction, it would certainly be appreciated. with the eu reopened the withdrawal agreement under those circumstances?” eu reopened the withdrawal agreement under those circumstances? i imagine it would not be that language, but, on substance, we then would have another new agreement on a newly defined relationship. germany, europe, would like to get on with other business, but germany is relaxed about any extension to article 50. angela merkel said to have convinced and impatient france that brit

you have read what was expected from this meeting but also the meeting with angela merkel.very difficult to govern nowadays, and it is very difficult to do it in the uk, as elsewhere in europe, and second, the europeans want at the maximum that mrs may gets an agreement with the parliament. because, otherwise, the only solution is to go back to the electorate, that is to say, to launch a new referendum or to organise advanced elections. so, i think that what is written in this d raft, think that what is written in this draft, which is extremely credible, is the viewpoint of the 27 member states, that is to say, brexit is there and now it is up to the british parliament to decide what is going to be done. the europeans cannot decide. there has been negotiation, extensive discussions, and agreement, which is written, and now it is up to the parliament or the electorate to decide. and as you know, may be an extension, which is much longer than expected. the issue is the instability is very harmful to the people, to the uk, to europe as well and also to companies. mrs may has a

that. >> bakari, angela mentioned anita hill.ow much of a fumble is it that on the day he's announcing there's an interview out with her in which she's not going to details of a conversation which, you know, is to her credit, but clearly, it was not the apology she probably deserves or was expecting, however you want to characterize it. >> i think anita hill's deserved this apology for nearly 30 years. and it's pretty transparent when you do it two weeks before you're running for president of the united states. people say oh my god, why are you questioning joe biden. we shouldn't do this. this is going to be a replay of 2016. well, no, it's not. that's the purpose of a primary. and one of my very good friends who is a political consultant, jerry always says the couch is on the ballot. it won't just be donald trump versus whoever the democratic nominee is. it's also going to be the couch. and what we found out is in milwaukee, in detroit, in certain cases in pennsylvania, the couch won out and black voters simply chose to stay hom

here is angela merkel. we have just concluded our extraordinary european council.us today on the withdrawal of great britain. we reached agreement that the prime minister has asked for a postponement of withdrawal until the 315t ofjune 2019. we took a closer look at matters and suggested that we rather prefer the day to be postponed to the 315t of october because what we would wish to see was an orderly withdrawal of great britain and that orderly withdrawal of great britain, we believe can best be assured by granting great britain more time. we will meet again injune to review the situation, and then depending on the circumstances, say where we stand, but what we agreed today is that on the 315t of october we will take a look at the situation. for me, for germany, that is, it has been clear that we strongly favour an orderly brexit, not because of the demands made by great britain, but because we believe that to be in our very own interest. that was very much the point that jean—claude juncker and donald tusk were making tonight. that what they had to avoid at all

carol: who will fill angela merkel's shoes? jason: how to help germany's biggest bank, deutsche bank. editor joel weber joins us now. carol: why focus on germany now? >> brexit has taken up a lot of their we talk about europe. we know brexit has been kicked down the road until october. germany is the biggest economy, and we are starting to see three elements, one is the economic story has gotten tepid. the political story, ms. merkel is the most powerful real political figure europe has, and there is a succession story. the third is the banking story, deutsche bank being a once upon a time bank of germany, and became an international bank. now it is grappling with the size it is supposed to be. jason: wide-ranging implications in germany and the global financial system. ed robinson brought us more. >> these banks are the twin pillars of the commercial banking system in germany, so they are vital institutions. they are also weak institutions, both banks have struggled to generate revenue growth, profitability, to show the kind o

he has been painted as the bad cop to angela merkel as the good cop. is the dynamic? it is interesting theresa may felt it necessary to come here and speak to him. in the past, it has been the chancellor of germany seen has been the chancellor of germany seen as has been the chancellor of germany seen as the power broker. he has been vocal on his image, and this issue goes right to the heart of what he is about. this goes right to the heart of what he is about. when he speaks about brexit, he is also speaking about the european parliamentary elections, and his war with the populace in europe. —— populists. no press conference so far but all welcome to tomorrow night when the 27 leaders gather at the summit in brussels. —— all will come clear. let's speak now to stefanie bolzen, london correspondent at the german newspaper die welt, who is in our london newsroom. let mejust picked up on let me just picked up on what christian was saying to lucy, in a sense we have good cop and bad cop. as angela merkel become theresa may's biggest ally on the issue of t

she'll spend time with german chancellor angela merkel in berlin and french president emmanuel macronall 27 eu leaders to ask, again, for a delay to brexit. here, she's reported to have discussed with cabinet giving mps a vote on whether there should be another referendum. talks with the labour party are also ongoing, even thought its far ongoing, even thought it's far from clear that words will translate into any action. jenny hill is in berlin, where the prime minister is due in the next hour. is she going to be able to convince chancellor merkel and president macron that she's got the numbers she needs to get her deal thorugh the house of commons at a fourth attempt which will mean they will give her a brexit extension to the end ofjune? well, that is the big question. i think broadly speaking angela merkel is of all the eu 27 leaders among the most relaxed about giving britain an extension. that is for a number of reasons, but perhaps chief are these, angela merkel wants to avoid a no deal and wants a good future relationship with britain. it is important to germany that that trad

german chancellor angela merkel drew criticism for welcome only ukrainian president petro poroshenko in the german capital and not his contender. merkel deflected a question about her appearing to favor r e incumbent at a joint news conference.

mrs may also spoke to angela merkel in berlin. the gerrman chancellor says a delay to brexit until the end of the year, is a possibility. the israeli election is too close to call with both candidates saying they've won. married couples will be able to divorce faster, and with less conflict, after changes to the law in england and wales. it will be better for all to see that fault is no longer something that is key in the divorce process. and at 11:30 we'll be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers dawn foster from the guardian and politcal commentator, giles kenningham. stay with us for that. good evening. theresa may has spent the day visiting berlin and paris, with just three days to the set date for the uk's exit from the eu. the prime minister is trying to get the backing of chancellor merkel and president macron for an extension to the brexit process, possibly until the 30th ofjune. the talks are taking place on the eve of the emergency summit tomorrow, when mrs may will put her request to the other 27 eu l

theresa may appeared to touch down in berlin before angela merkel was ready to meet her, but the eu has been hanging around too, the german chancellor and others waiting for the uk to say what it will do with any extra time in the brexit process. and that's what european affairs minister is arriving here in luxembourg for a briefing on brexit wa nt luxembourg for a briefing on brexit want from the uk too. a plan. from every diplomatic limbo, the same message. of course, we still need clarity from the uk's side, the extension will be regarded upon by the government, of course. we want to understand what the uk needs this
