this was a local election where people were voting on local issues now it's in that area where mrs merkelis starting to show some weaknesses as it were and her christian democratic party and the coalition partners starting to show some weaknesses personally mrs merkel remains quite popular here in germany due to the fact that the way that she is viewed of having kept germany's economy ticking over as it were in the against the backdrop of the eurozone crisis but it's when it comes to those local issues that affect germans on the day to day as opposed to the international stage of the european stage where she's starting to look a little vulnerable and this is why the opposition parties the main opposition parties like the the s.t.p. and the green party they certainly smell blood and they're looking to try and push all the way for that for that chancellorship election coming up towards the end of the year all right peter thanks so much indeed for this update peter all of our reporting there from. moving on now japan's foreign ministry has lodged an official protest with china after three of

this was a local election where people were voting on local issues now it's in that area where mrs merkelis starting to show some weaknesses as it were and her christian democratic party and their coalition partners but she still has this personal appeal as the leader because of what she's done for the eurozone crisis but of course that isn't mirrored when you look around the rest of europe particularly in countries like greece where we've seen burned in effigy and even compared to adult hitler because the greek people they see angela merkel as the main person behind the austerity that they're having to live through so her popularity abroad personally isn't particularly great when it comes to the eurozone crisis however germans are happy with the way that she's managed this crisis and managed germany's economy throughout it but as i say it's going to come down to whether she can convince the german people that she's the right person to manage german interests at home as well as those abroad whether she can win not third term towards the end of this year. well across the atlantic another l
