but let me just draw in another for political correspondents thomas barrow he is at the christian democratic party headquarters told most of what are you hearing there we're getting reports that chancellor angela merkel is not going to be standing for the post of party leader at the party conference in december what is the latest you're hearing that. well we saw some senior c.d.u. politicians come in for a party meeting here at the c.d.u. headquarters they were obviously tight lipped at least most of them not willing to share anything before that is actually revealed right here at the headquarters later today in any case there is a sense of urgency here that somebody can clearly see and a sense that things are changing and the fact that we are hearing these reports the fact that those reports could be made or fishel here later on today during a deal that angela merkel is not only facing a very big opposition from other parties and some you know we clearly saw in hessen in a very a by little within her own party those critics are growing stronger and. would certainly be losing one of the key positi

votes not only for her party but also for her coalition partner in berlin the social democrats both of last about ten percent the question will be do her colleagues in the christian democrat party say ten percent is a massive loss it's a sign that the medical era is over and we've got to change as soon as we can possibly before the end of this year and do on the other side the social democrats say this is such a bad result for them they have to think again about whether they should be in in this grand coalition government at national level and will they pull the plug on that so there's a lot of questions tonight and what do you think the city is going to do after after this election i mean you you did mention that in december there might be a new person leading this spot say will this election result have a pain that was certainly adds to pressure it shows that there's a trend of it and it is a trend that's been going on for through several of these states elections that the americans control of the sea do you think she's listing her grip will be a meeting of the meetings that are all this week to discuss internally a big meeting of the leadership of cd un s.p.d.

german chancellor angela merkel has decided not to run again for the chairmanship of the christian democratic union party merkel maintains she'll stay on as chancellor until the next election in three years time the party will meet next month to choose her successor both major parties in germany's governing coalition suffered heavy losses in the regional elections seen as a test for merkel preferred successor party secretary general. going to is a senior advisor at the political consultancy rasmussen global joins us now live from berlin good to have you with us so how much of a question mark does this development place on the merkel's future as chancellor. so as you said if she gets through with her master plan that her secretary general who she appointed on the grid can come on board or will be her successor then i think everything is playing very well in ur scenario because then she has not to be afraid of being. be a victim of any kind of political coup because she's a very loyal secretary general and there would be no need for her actually to question the position of america less chancellor but have

well they were double digit drops in the polls for both the christian democratic union and the social democratic party of germany as well those votes went to a mixture the green party again doing very well in local elections they picked up around twenty.

christian democratic union party look like he hasn't given us a lot to go on so far but what we do know is that he is business friendly always has been both when he was back when he was a politician and now as a corporate lawyer for the last nine years he was also always a big advocate of tax reform of making the tax code so simple and a tax declaration so easy that could be written on the back of a coaster for a year so that probably indicates that he would implement more friendly business. beyond that he made it clear that he wants to open the doors to let voters who have drifted away to the far right nationalist party return to the fold how exactly he would do that is unclear because they don't care about business friendly policies what they're interested in is migration stopping it he we do know that as a politician he was very much in favor of stricter measures for assimilation to what was known as leading german cultural values so possibly we would see something along those lines but it's hard to say what i do think we can say is that what people see in him is a return to the old

well there were double digit drops in the polls for both the christian democratic union and the social democratic party of germany as well those votes went to a mixture the green party again doing very well in local elections they picked up around twenty percent of the vote a great night out for them they the big successes along with alternative for germany they picked up throughout thirteen percent of the vote they entered the parliament in for the first time they won't be for part of any coalition in parliament the every other party said they won't work with them there but this is the first one invented in has it now means that they are represented in all sixteen german state parliaments as well as being represented in the ponder stack their leadership ecstatic with the results on sunday evening. with the people's party the f.t. is now represented in every german region after the great success it has. well the big news going through angle of merkel the german chancellor saying that she won't run for reelection as the chairperson of the christian democratic union saying she will remain in the role as

party the f.t. is now represented in every german region after the great success it has. so the big news from here in berlin angular merkel will stand down as leader of the christian democratic union party she will remain as chancellor but she will not seek another term after this if she last the three years these are going to be her last in the top job here in germany. correspondent life from bear led peter oliver hankie. mickelson mounts meant that she will no longer lead the christian democratic union comes off to decades at the forefront of chairman politics she began had political career off to the fall of the bed and wall joining the c.d.u. in one nine hundred eighty nine ten years later she became the party secretary general and the leader in two thousand by two thousand and five and a medical made history by becoming germany's first female chancellor since then she's been reelected to feather three times meaning nicole has been the nation's leader for the nearly a generation. time i remember she was always there i mean i can't really remember a time she was like that and i don't even know who came before. as only madonna's that she wanted a makeover said i think she

international scene which will go on for a while but she so to speak killed intra party democracy in the christian democratic union and this is why her retreat from the office of party chairperson comes as a relief for many in the christian democratic union. than it has been a number of policies that has led to her. popularity declining a lot of heavy pressure for her due to the migrant policy and the instability of her governing coalition do you think that these two things have led to her position . well both of these things have led to her decision and the most important issue was a migrant policy see the problems of angular merkley has been there to migrant policy has been supported by the social democrats by the green by the media but it has not really been supported by a majority in her own party not to speak about her sister party which is the crucial social union area so she was more responsive to the policy views of her political opponents then she was responsive to the desires of her followers and the whole instability of the present grain coalition came from the fact that a social democrats felt th

party the f.t. is now represented in every german region after the great success it has. but when it comes to angela merkel the christian democratic union in the coalition it's well held together with sticky tape and popsicle sticks at the moment it comes down to popularity and angela merkel's party has been hemorrhaging popularity since she made the decision to welcome with open arms refugees and migrants into germany it was a huge issue in the election in twenty seventeen and well it caused problems for them there it caused problems with trying to cobble together a coalition it took one of the best part of seven months to do that and since the coalition government has been in place since march it's never really looked stable it almost fell apart completely this summer with a horse and a half of the interior minister threatening to walk out of the cabinet and walk out of the coalition with his christie and social union party he was put catered eventually with promises of of limits on refugees and migrants but it hasn't gone away and the problems that as i said started out in the lead up to the twenty seventeen election they then

news coming from germany, angela merkel and the christian democratic party. we saw a lot of rotation to buy after the dips. we saw last week. yes we are in correction territory for a lot of small indices like transports and also like the s&p and the russell 2000 with a small cap names. but, you know, afterwards we got downgrade for amazon on the news from the uk, and in terms of possibly imposing a digital sales tax. that started trickling down into the fangs now at six-month lows. we saw a lot of selling today. amazon dragging the likes of alphabet, google, apple, all the rest. we have deal news as you see on the screen. ibm buying red hat, 33 billion-dollar transaction. 63% premium for red hat. ibm falling in the session. red hat a bit concerning it didn't put up to the acquisition target levels, the acquisition buyselves we saw. tech shares really dragging the market. we saw acceleration lower after news hit from bloomberg, that we may see nor china-u.s. tariffs being imposed. melissa: susan thank you. connell: susan referenced the news about china. let's

elections that were so crucial the party that has gained most from the disarray of the big parties the christian democrats of social democrats is the green party firmly rooted in the liberal democratic political spectrum a party with a lot of modern ideas a party that does not simplify its message as a party that is the antithesis of populism so i think that is a very positive story as we look at your of democracy our chief political correspondent and when it's always thank you. and here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the prime suspect in the deadly synagogue shooting in pittsburgh has appeared in court forty six year old robert bowers is accused of carrying out the mass killing in the u.s. on saturday a memorial has been set up outside the tree of life a synagogue in the city eleven people were killed as caravans of central american migrants continue to travel through mexico towards the united states eight hundred u.s. troops are reportedly now on their way to america's southern border military sources say there are plans to send more than five thousand soldier

made her mind up before the summer break to actually not run again as the leader of the christian democratic party, and that came after all this infighting with the man who almost brought the coalition to a halt and so many problems inside the grand coalition made her think that it's time to open a new chapter. it's time to at least partially step aside whether she can last the remainder of her term remains to be seen. that depends on who will be the new leader and whether she can work with that person closely together if this is going to be an adversary, she probably has to step aside earlier than she initially wanted stepping aside is not that easy in german politics you need to have a vote of trust in parliament, you need to have a successor in place it's not just that you can throw the towel in and say i'm done with it. so we'll probably see an orderly process of transition and we always have to have new elections. talking about new elections, that's the key point here. nobody in political berlin from the big parties has a huge interest in new elections because both big parties, the spd and th
