and i'm now joined here in the studio by a political correspondent kate brady she's just back from the c.d.u. party conference thanks for coming in and joining us kate it seemed to be quite an unusual party conference i mean just walk us through some of your main takeaways well the kind of overarching issue ahead of this conference was definitely a question over the leadership of the c.d.u. and who might then in 2 years time run as chancellor to become america's successor but there were other issues on the agenda as well today especially so on the 2nd and final day it was digitalisation that was one of the big issues particularly when it comes to the infrastructure of germany's the 5 g. network now because this was somewhat of a of an upset i think for german chancellor angela merkel stace of the c.d.u. the conservative c.d.u. party they decided that it will now be up to the german parliament to debate whether huawei the chinese tech giant will be able to put a bid in to build germany's 5 g. network so far germany's chancellor has said that germany shouldn't rule out lead in hollywood

or let's break that all down now joining me in studio political correspondent kate brady you were at that cd you party conference as far as party conferences go this was quite an eventful one just just walk us through some of the highlights of this weekend well the last few days have had a lot of issues a lot of things debated a lot of motions that passed and also rejected but one of the most interesting issues or motions to be passed the day came the c.d.u. regarding digitalisation in germany and the development of germany's 5 g. network now until now german chancellor angela merkel has said that the chinese tech giant they should not be blocked from at least putting in a bid to develop germany's 5 g. network but of course that is a very controversial topic here in germany right now as it also is in a lot of other democracies that's already been ruled out in the u.s. for example largely because of the suspected ties between they and the chinese government is safe to say the c.d.u. the conservative c.d.u. passed a motion which now means that this issue will be debated in the german p

for more on the german perspective, i am joined i our correspondent, kate brady. kate: the skepticism is still there, but it is important to understand that germany is obliged to take these people back. as we heard, there are a number of places in the you, a number of member states that have revoked citizens -- citizenship. that is not the case in germany. these people who have been deemed to be german nationals, they have the right to return to germany. brent: does germany have a rehabilitation program for the people who do come back? people who joined i asked and want to be integrated into society? -- who joined i.s. and want to be integrated into society? kat this ise part: -- kate: this is part of an ongoing debate. there were some programs that have been set up particularly in reasons. in addition to d radicalizing i.s. will attend, it is also important there are plans in place, some of which have already begun, from others and for children who were not active i.s. militants themselves but are obviously going to need counseling to deal with their experiences w

well for more on this let's bring in our correspondent kate brady kate what will can you tell us at this stage well helen of the details are limited at this stage as you mentioned this is taking place at a mine in eastern germany toys gentile and so far we're hearing reports that 2 people have been injured in a reported xplosion and up to 30 other people are now currently stuck in a security area underground now we know that. emergency services are at the scene rescue workers are on the ground there but this is at a mine in. eastern germany where we're hearing the latest reports now of a explosion there at a mine as i say is about 30 people reportedly still stuck underground but at the moment as far as we know it is on the ground and that rescue operation is underway kate brady our correspondent in berlin bringing us the latest on what appears to be an explosion at a mine with 2 people injured around 30 other people trapped thank you so much for those details so far kate. well here are some of the other stories making news around the world dozens of bush fires are raging in eastern austr
