already focusing on the general election and september and on becoming angular machall successor. michelle of judging by the surge of the greens in german politics it seems very unlikely that germany's next government could be formed without the greens in it what effects would the greens have on german policy on an international level where they have the environmental issue which of course is very important it's increasingly important to germans here but they've also increasingly been able to tap into issues like digitalisation they want to be a big tent party that's the declaration we've seen here quite clearly and the book wants to project the kind of determination she feels it takes to really have a fresh start in germany after the 16 years of going to america the big challenge she will have to go is to integrate more radical green the green movement the fridays for a future movement with more middle of the road kind of conservative voters they've been rather successful actually in tapping into that it's quite a stretch and that's something she will be feeling in those 5 months

still leaves some question marks the german chancellor very much on the defensive here well before machall rejected criticism of her lobbying company while a deputy elections also refused to take any blame how does that make them look. well it makes our so it's the finance minister who was testifying yesterday looked at the very least uninformed although many find that very hard to believe because he was also the one who then started to change the watchdogs to basically restructure it and to have somebody else at the top of the baffin germany's financial watchdog he says he fixed the problem as soon as he was aware of it but there's still some question marks over who knew what when and who should have acted to prevent this from happening with the counter argument being that there was so much criminal energy in why a card suddenly no longer being able to produce evidence for some 1900000000 euros and that that is always something that policymakers cannot foresee that it happens so here we are it's certainly very damaging either way whatever the truth is for the reputation of this government

while marco sudha who remarkable political instinct was very fast to then pledge allegiance to angola machall who he's criticized in the past he says there's no way one can become chancellor by not being endorsed by anger machall so clearly there's a fight over her legacy already also going on and there's an understanding that that political brand of machall approval is what could carry the cd hugh in elections to calm elections are coming up in a september and party members are surely impatient for a candidate to be named how soon do you think we can expect a decision. i think it will come very fast now there was a lot of confusion after that press conference i just attended what the actual process will be now initially was supposed to be the leaders of those 2 parties the c.d.u. that and mark was sued of the various basically talking behind closed doors instead we've now seen a very public showdown and it will now be up to the c.d.u. to make up its mind whether it still backs its own party. enough and trusts him enough to bounce back from those opinion polls that look pretty bleak at the mo

system posse but what we can say here is that certainly that even the 2nd a fallback plan of anger machall to have something like a smooth transition into a succession has spectacularly failed we're seeing an open showdown and those polling figures may be a lot higher for markel sort of bavaria but the c.d.u. polling figures have now landed back to where they were before the pandemic and the greens may take advantage of this so this is a very risky maneuvering a very risky high noon but i'm going to machall c.d.u. c.s.u. union over her legacy may hair look of now with the view from berlin thank you. soccer news for you now byron munich are preparing for a champions league quarter final clash with paris on german the bavarians need a win to keep them in the competition a p.s.g. is impressive display and unique last week shows the byron are facing a tough challenge. rarely cost as underdogs but that's how they see themselves as they had to paris in need of at least $2.00 goals to qualify for the champions league semifinals after p.s.g. smash and grab 3 to win in munich is a tough. it's a tou

and so to stunned that after 16 years of machall and to see the. fight this rivalry is just astonishing you talk to the people in front of very interested perhaps more interested than you might to be mentioned not too long ago and what's going on in germany of the moment what is the 1st nation when 1st the fascination is. amazing each story i write there's always. about last year and the greens and they said what does anger the american think of it so it's going to be very difficult for the french to barry i'm going to matter to to realize that she's not there anymore she's been much much more loved and worshiped than than she is in germany so that's the 1st acknowledge the french are realizing what i mean is you were saying in the big these the end there's going to be somebody and so they're very interested in the greens because we have a green party in france which is. in the states where the green party here was about 10 or 15 years ago so very leftwing. you know having all sorts of conflict within each other and not at all ready to be made to b

so compliance issues were raised as well it was quite historic moment really because i'm going to machall was very much on the defensive here. so what this means for angela marco especially for her legacy she says she's not going to be. longer. well it could leave a huge question mark hanging over what it meant to have access to have because one of the former ministers to it's a good back the former defense minister spoke with her personally just before she traveled to china 2019 and that issue was raised she denies that this immediately led to her taking on the whole wire card issue that this was something that came from the advisers who really were much more knowledgeable on the substance matter but it could at the very least leave a question mark hanging over her legacy and the question of access in compliance what is has already sparked is an overhaul of these financial watchdog the bow if in and there are also questions about how independently it acted and whether it was really fit to do what it's supposed to do which is preventing these kind of incidents like the wire card failure w

germany's chancellor to get a machall is among will be displayed in support for india. will work with other countries to ensure that we can hold india we're working hard on finding ways to get oxygen production facilities there the whole of europe is working on that and i also discussed this with the prime minister of portugal today they're currently holding the e.u. presidency we want to do everything we can to help india we've identified rapid diagnostic testing supplies personal protective equipment and additional ventilators available to be transferred to and media to india mediately and i noted of course we also of course are in close touch with any officials at all levels about the raw material needs that they have and as requested by india we will provide raw materials for the production of astra zeneca vaccine at serum institute of india. i'm now joined by a correspondent in daily to fall minister is all of this international aid making a difference on the ground. well the students right now actually not making a difference for the last 3 weeks have been experie

between the 2 contenders of between the contenders who want to be this and with 16 years of another machall that's somewhat out of practice and this is now showing they're in the midst of a bruising fight which is going to proceed throughout today or tomorrow and we hope the posse set in the hopes that they will be able to time and who the dieter is within that space of time but it's clear that the greens just beat them on that one to get a thank you very much i was our chief political editor make it a couple. you're watching d.w. news up next got a documentary film looking at women in thailand thanks for. the green. you feel or even the. truth. i'm neal be on the green friends post to me it's clear we need such a. joint project dive into the green transformation for me for you for the campaign.

and the varia now once a claim to the post machall throne and it doesn't leave a posse completely in disarray we are hearing that m.p.'s are collecting signatures from both sides for one of the other 2 states premie is the 1st western one is well have come out in favor of moscow sudha it would have seen as as a shift of power behind marco sudan who can also boast the opinion polls because more than 70 percent of seaview followers can imagine seeing him is their chance the candidate but only 17 see their own cd you see the leader as the man on the ticket to take them to another election success in september's general elections and that is a lot that marco souter can point out with of course backers of ominous that saying it's still early days we need someone who can lead into is not just has got a high in the opinion polls so a very disorderly situation after the stability merkel hears me there on the story for us thanks for the update. well staying here in germany and the country is seeing its highest rise in corona virus cases since january 1 of the main reasons is the slow pace of

a show of confidence i'm going machall gets her 1st covert 19 shot and receives astra zeneca germany's chancellor says she's delighted to take the vaccine and urges others to do the same. also with the u.n. warns of a crisis in mozambique or of more than half a 1000000 people have fled attacks by islamist militias our correspondent for ports . and pablo foley yes welcome to the program u.s. president joe biden has repeated calls for congress to pass gun restrictions after another mass shooting the president ordered flags to be lowered at the white house and other government buildings in honor of the 8 people who were killed in a fed ex where i was in indianapolis on thursday at a press conference he said to us gun deaths were a blight on the country. it's a national. national we're growing on. these mass shootings that are occurring every single day. every single day. in the united states if you count all those who are killed out of the streets of our cities and our rule it's a national embarrassment and must come to an end well the gunman was a former fed ex employee after killing 8 p

internally and baucus already focusing on the general election and september and on becoming angular machall successor. the russia's president service says it has moved jailed opposition leader alexina valley to a medical facility the valley's doctors say he is on the brink of death 3 weeks into a hunger strike the u.s. and e.u. have war the consequences if he dies in prison this is the prison compound where alexei navalny was being held and where he went on hunger strike 3 weeks ago his health deteriorated so rapidly that he has now been transferred to this medical facility i didn't other prison the russian officials call his condition satisfactory on these doctors say years that acute risk of heart failure their demanding access to their patient which we spent 2 hours here waiting on these help is in critical condition but unfortunately we were not allowed to see him. the opposition leader survived a poisoning with nerve agent last august he holds the kremlin responsible for the attack after treatment in a berlin hospital in the vanni returned to russia in january where he was promptly arr

a team that from now on will be led by him that machall ally carnival king and committed to a strong europe the 60 year old has been state premier of north wind of a scaly germany's most populous state for 4 years and was elected c.d.u. party leader in january. born in the western city of close to the dutch and belgian borders russia does a former member of the european parliament and fluent in french for the most part his politics are moderate and have really reflect macas positions. the long and bruising power struggle within the conservative alliance only came to an end when his very and rival pulled out of the race. i mean that should i called i mean lushington congratulated him also offered him our full support in what i believe will be the extremely difficult election campaign ahead of us we will support him without any sense of resentment and with all of our strength i speak for myself as well as for my party the c.s.u. . the support of german voters however is something i mean lash it will have to work hard for in recent polls the majority do not believe he has what it takes

on the ticket this is once again a departure if there ever was a plan for the succession of anglo machall and it shows a significant lack of stability within the c.d.u. at a moment of crisis for the whole country in the midst of a pandemic. well a 2nd look at other stories making headlines around the world hundreds of yemenis are protesting against worsening living conditions in the war torn country protesters blocked off a major road in the southern port city of age and they want an end to power cuts and high prices yemen's internationally recognized government is fighting iran back to 3 rebels who control the capital sanaa. and people link august on a voting on changing the constitution to expand the presidential powers the reforms would reduce the size of the parliament and give the president power to appoint judges president assad says the changes would increase stability his opponents say it's a power grab. and german president frank frank walter steinmeier has visited the former death camp of which involved to mark the 76th anniversary of its liberation he warned against forgetting

and only now baucus already focusing on the general election in september and on becoming angular machall successor our political response i mean young is the story of for you simon what are the chances of becoming germany's next chancellor. well if they're quite good really she does still need to be endorsed as candidate by a congress of the greens in june but her chances really are good because the party's chances are good the greens have been doing well in poll after poll in recent months consistently polling above 20 percent that makes them the 2nd party in german politics at the moment so it may well be that come the general election in september the greens are then in the position to choose whether to join a conservative led coalition or perhaps to themselves lead a left of center coalition in the 2nd case and alina bear book just 40 years of age would become germany's next chancellor and i would just say that i have bear but probably does need now to over the next few months present herself to a wider public she's not. not a very tried politician she hasn't held high office her car

who will be the man to actually have his name on the ticket for conservative politics is going to machall style here in germany we expect a decision within the coming days because there is pressure mounting from all sides within the party but also outside elections are coming up in september so i expect party numbers are eager to find out who the candidate is going to be i mean last it had been positioning himself as the man most committed to upholding america's legacy does that mean that that is not resonating well with voters. well this isn't doesn't even get to the vote yet i cited the public opinion polls but within the party that is the one who has the big institutional party political stronghold or does he because now we're hearing more and more voices who are switching and who don't necessarily see him as natural successor any more so whatever happens this is once again almost a succession story of being interrupted by events let's not forget there was a former candid i'm going to come down by the former leader of the party she was seen as natural successor but there doesn't seem t

willing to have the job but of course the did this whole debate may be short lived if i'm going to machall is right and and come june all of the old germans are able to get a vaccine or at least apply for a vaccine it will of course take some time until they're all fully vaccinated and then you know we may reach that herd immunity that critical point sooner than we thought and we may all be able to enjoy more freedoms again you don't know any signs and. across brazil the pandemic has devastated many communities but the coastal city of mari car there we are there is and there are has managed to stave off our times as dense there was even a universal basic income and interest free loans in the form of the local digital currency the money for that is that the city has prospered thanks to millions of dollars in oil revenue. no one seems to be very concerned about the pandemic on brazil's atlantic coast in a city with a population of about 160000 hardly anyone is complaining about the economic situation not even here in this poor district. layo live there is raising her 2 granddaughters here th

already focusing on the general election in september and on becoming angular machall successor. michel we've seen the greens surge and it seems very unlikely that germany's next government could be formed without the greens in it what if it what the greens have on german policy on an international level well and i'm doing a better book in that speech declared climate change as the task of her generation and the green still stand for what has been the brand from day one of the 41 year history which is preserving nature and she wants to put climate change into every equation in german society also when it comes to business she wants to cut and cut carbon emissions much faster than the current government does at the same time she is a stores european so that remains consensus here in germany and when it comes to foreign policy which is kind of her home turf because she has a degree in international law she is certainly projecting the kind of decisiveness many have criticized i'm going to marco for lacking when it came it comes to changing political geopolitical game now whether she

serenity in germany so everything goes from the bottom up to down and i wouldn't know whether mrs machall at the end of the day has the power to basically wipe them off i mean wipe the 60 minutes the president of court decision at least that should be looked at carefully by someone yes and i think that in any way it's not easy i guess there was definitely not easy that is for sure but little science professor. we appreciate your time your insights tonight thank you. thank you. are doing here in europe hungary government is claiming down on independent reporting on the country's vaccination campaign and on the situation in hospitals hungary has one of the highest per capita death rates from code 19 in europe although it also has the highest vaccination rate corresponded funny heard from one doctor about the reality that said owens with the picture put forward by the government soldiers money for people checking into his hospital treating patients when we start to film the building go there and do your t.v. thing over there they ask us to film the parking lot according to staff inside the h

there reiterate that it would have been a good idea to have a wave break a lockdown over east of the machall so spectacularly failed over that she had got everybody round the table too greedy and then for technical reasons it wasn't possible also the implementation of the vaccination campaign is still relatively slow with the health minister vowing some 20 percent of people to be vaccinated by the end of april currently it's round about 16 in britain it's almost half of the population so it is a very very urgent situation right now and policy is not moving fast enough chief political editor mr thank you bernie made off the architect of a ponzi scheme that scammed investors out of billions of dollars has died in prison he was 82 the former chairman of the nasdaq stock exchange reportedly died of natural causes you have been suffering from chronic kidney failure here's a look back now at one of the most notorious wolves of last reach. bernard made off better known as bernie was so disliked at the time of his trial that he had to wear a bulletproof vest to court every day. the man behind the la

internally on alina already focusing on the general election in september and on becoming angular machall successor. now russia's prison service says it has moved jailed opposition leader alexei novelli to a medical facility the valdés doctors say he is on the brink of death 3 weeks into a hunger strike the u.s. and e.u. have warned moscow of consequences if he dies in prison. this is the prison compound where alexei navalny was being held and when he went on hunger strike 3 weeks ago his health deteriorated so rapidly that he has now been transferred to this medical facility at another prison the russian officials call his condition satisfactory these doctors say he is that acute risk of heart failure they're demanding access to their patient but we spent 2 hours here waiting on these health is in critical condition but unfortunately we were not allowed to see him. the opposition leader survived a poisoning with nerve agent last august he holds the kremlin responsible for the attack after treatment in a berlin hospital novotny returned to russia and january where he was promptly arrested

walk on the show the race to succeed machall as germany's chancellor is heating up and no party seems to be struggling more to find a candidate to send in to the competition than her own a self-imposed deadline by the governing c.d.u. c.s.u. alliance show announced a candidate expires tonight a stand off between the various premier mako surge and the president of the christian democratic union amin lash it is supported by party. the smaller sister party c.s.u. is a lot more popular among voters being the biggest party in the conservative coalition and stranded only the c.d.u. who nominates the candidate to spearhead the joint campaign i mean america has not yet publicly endorsed either of them. let's bring in now our chief political editor good to see a self-imposed deadline ends tonight but no decision yet what's going to happen next. that's the big question we need one of these 2 men to declare who post together i say next sounds accounted for the supposed to be ordinarily one would think ok why don't they just have a well to dish and the cast is chosen by the upper echelons of the

goalposts to say that yes your party may be behind you arm in the us it's the new cd you possibly machall successor as the conservative leader there but the opinion polls give him better chances at this very moment in time and that's what he's insisting on not shying away from this so down this high noon moment in the midst of an epidemic so explain to us that if if so there is indeed leading in the opinion polls why isn't the party just back again. well because it would be a breach of code of honor almost to block the wild card from bavaria the c.d.u. and the c.s.u. are a conservative union here in germany that's often lost in translation the c.s.u. is a lot smaller and previous attempts to have a chance to from bavaria failed spectacularly at the ballot box to cut it short michael so it has nothing to lose he's the overarching bavarian leader if he gets onto that ticket it's success for him but he's still seen as a success if at least he pushed the c.d.u. to potentially rethink its plans and i'm unless it is the man who has everything to lose but at this moment in time the conservative
