going to going to be the the leadership of the social democrat party going forward why does this matter well those 2 are pretty skeptical about whether it's a good idea to stay in government with medical so this could be a small bombshell in german politics it would tell us a little bit about the 2 candidates and why it's such a shock yeah i know but but it's a boy is a former finance minister in north run. is another regional s.p.d. lawmaker and as i say they're not particularly well known the there was essentially to do as they could they decided to have man woman. and it's kind of this is for this job and the best known among the 4 people there was a left shoulder as i say the finance minister is obviously well known his vice chancellor as well and he saw himself as somebody who could leave the lead the party and become the next chancellor of germany he's now not going to get the chance to do that and as i say this decision could break apart shots the man who's government to people that the party have gone with a not very pro the sort of so-called grand coalition at the moment with t

very important topic that of course helped or will help was enough on the line to also get the social democratic votes their 2nd member is not the best danish commissioner she also was part of the u.n. for commission beforehand and she will be in charge of the portfolio that will try to try to make europe fit for the digital age it's a very pressing issue because europe is lagging behind in most areas of digitalisation for example all the digital giants so the companies that are shaping our world today don't come from the european union most of them at least they come from the united states of america and also from china and so that's also why it was a tough on the law and pointed out why this issue is so pressing so my go to this saga will take care of that and the 3rd portfolio is to have an economy that works for the people and that is via this dombrowski from also was a member of the younger commissions.

which is also the party of laws of the funded and on the other hand the social democrats but both of those droops lost votes lost shares and no longer have a majority together so you need a 3rd party for example the liberals the party of the manor and i call the french president or the greens who are not officially supporting those who are left on the lie and so it appears that she will need to work her majorities case by case depending on the topic for example when when it comes to the european green deal that is something that will appeal to the greens something they actually would like but to get them on board she will have to make sure that what you know that the policy in this european green deal appeals to the green so it will be a case by case majority which will make it much harder than in the past some actually started to introduce her new commission teen i mean there were lots of names in that speech what war can you tell us about some of the key members. i think she mentioned all the names of the 26 commissioners because the commission of course has 27 members including th

important topping of course helped or will help was enough on the line to also get the social democratic votes their 2nd member of the best danish commissioner she also was part of the younger commission beforehand and she will be in charge of the portfolio that will try to try to make europe fit for the digital age it's a very pressing issue because europe is lagging behind in most areas of digitalisation for example all the digital giants so the companies that are shaping our world today don't come from the european union most of them at least they come from the united states of america and also from china and so that's also what was often the law and pointed out why this issue is so pressing so much of this saga will take care of that and the 3rd portfolio is to have an economy that works for the people and that is by just a brusqueness from also was a member of the younger commission so you can tell those executive vice presidents are all very experienced in brussels in the e.u. institutions they come from the different parties and i go to visit for example from the liberals about is

the social democrats and so the c.d.u. has seen how the social democrats really have been torn apart by in a party politics and issues over personnel and they simply don't want that to become an issue in the c.d.u. so this is very much about the cds image and they want to at least appear to voters as a united party that is behind their leader and that the delegates actually believe in the party leader and of course that that is also likely to be the person as i say who will take the party in to the 2021 election says very much about image but at the same time a week party that is just disrupted by issues over personnel and leadership also means that that could lead to a shaky government as well of course the current government here in germany between the c.d.u. and the social democrats has never really gotten off. to a great style or couple of years in now and they are still facing issues and so the the last thing the c.d.u. wants right now is to appear as an unstable party so there are issues here to be dealt with when it

doctors don't want that is the difference between us and the social democrats the social democrats are inherently disloyal and we are loyal. to our party leadership. on trouble in the family to the federal government which we have been a part of for a total of more than 50 years and those were good years for germany so that was. tried to become leader last year and failed so what does he want now. well he wants to be part of the future still this was a remarkable change of tone from just a couple of weeks ago when he basically said that the government the c.d.u. led government i'm going to macro was doing a very bad job indeed now he's calling for your loyalty and he sent us another of his grand gestures from the stage behind me by saying yes he wants to be part of this but once again like a year ago owing the party a concrete answer of where he would see his role percy quite clearly he sees himself as future chancellor candidate of the c.d.u. and that still is the big question mark here will you now join forces with compound bow and leadership blind or will he once again try and launc

no surprise there and then she needs the votes of 2 other big parties so it appears that the social democrats are going to vote for her as well they took their time in making that decision but the announced it tuesday evening so one more party to go and in this case it will be the liberals renew europe that's the name of that political group here in the parliament and they also said that they support it was enough on the line the liberals as well as the social democrats of course got something in return portfolio wise in the commission but if they really may do on their promises then it was a left on the line we'll have the numbers in her favor is by the way that this is not a secret ballot so party discipline will be higher because afterwards everybody knows how the different members of the european parliament will have voted back says she set out her vision for her presidency what did you hear from her what will her priorities be. well the 3 main priorities are mirrored in the positions of the so called executive vice president so one is making europe fit for the digital age and the 2nd one

the support of her own party the european people's party the conservatives and yesterday the social democrats and the liberals also declared their support so that should be enough for her to make it maybe even by a comfortable margin but as you know it's not over until the fat lady sings especially in this parliament that's very fragmented so everybody's kind of careful with their predictions but if i had to bet you know 100000 euros or which i don't have but if i knew it would be definitely. as you're keeping your eye on that vote max we're also looking at some live pictures that are coming in as well as from their instructor i mean what are your thoughts on the lines their priorities now as she steps into this new role. well the 3 top priorities are mirrored with her selection of what they call executive vice president so those are commissioners that will have more power than the rest of the commission and they're also in charge of those top 3 priorities one of them being an economy for the people so basically trying to be more competitive in the digital economy but also more inclusive mean

on thes a lot riding next week and a half in terms of the social democrats.coalition, a minority government, or a fractured coalition does not sound like the political backdrop to decisive fiscal spending decision-making, does it? we started this talking about the budget conversations taking place today. is there a link between the two? guest: that is exactly the issue here. the social democrats probably are a little more in favor of fiscal stimulus. it is something merkel's party is dead set against. it was humorous this week, the christian democrats had a post on twitter where they said the balanced budget is like a fetish for them. it shows how entrenched that is for the party. if you end up with a minority government, clearly there is not going to be much movement in this front. that budget that has been going through parliament this week, there have really been no changes in terms of any sort of fiscal stimulus. they have stuck with the balanced budget. there is modest spending growth, but do not look for any fiscal stimulus anytime soon here out of germ

welcome back for the 1st time in more than a 100 years the social democrats in sweden are no longer the country's most popular party that's the findings of a new opinion poll now the figures show the conservative and anti immigrant sweden democrats would have the support of 24 percent of voters if an election was held today compared to 22.2 percent for the ruling party other parties of course caught less the margin between the 2 has been narrowing ever since 2010 when the sweeping democrats gain enough votes to enter parliament for the very 1st time now a major reason cited for the trend is rising crime in the country which is seen citizens swing in favor of more right wing and nationalist groups like the sweden democrats the party favors tough immigration and country. and increased security along with traditional families it claimed sweden has become something of a hub for international crime according to a stop at survey swedish citizens have increasingly experience lawlessness violence and and vandalism it says the numbers are among the highest in europe and the ruling party concedes

then they went to the social democrats. then they went for jews, and also gay people. and the slaavs in poland probably formed the largest number of not see victims. as horrible as the holocaust was, i say as a jew, we need to remember the other victims as well. >> so we don't see the jews of being a special segment of the population that were selected by the nazis? >> i think it's really complicated. it was different. but, you know, death is death and murder is murder. if you round up people and one polish or russian town and mowed them down in a ditch. and in another, you do the same thing and one group was jewish and one was slavic, historians debate a lot to what extent the holocaust was unique. there was, he passed away - - >>.

scenario that the social democrat s.p.d. coalition partner that is currently tearing itself apart of the question who should lead the party into the future that has been settled here for now but quite clearly the stakes will be a lot high in a year's time when it does come down to the question who would be the chance the candidates their flirtation matt still sees himself quite clearly in the race and that's also why it's unlikely that he will completely and his criticism of anecdotes come convo us so one thing is just saw it's a very long goodbye from america and you could take over after about. the head of state in your party conference in fact here. i will take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world and government protesters in 76 years of self womb for the country i don't but i was missing in the company. replacing the military show you sure have some amazing. protest movement in a script the country since mid october with demands for the removal of politicians deemed inept and corrupt. sprains

this kind of rhetoric for me it is not acceptable as a social democrat i believe that the politicians should give example to the people that we cannot work together on on but a future on addressing the fears that are within the pollution and people. using this kind of rhetoric so we talked about the climate issues we took to the migration another cause of tension with the e.u. is allegations that your billionaire prime minister mr babich improperly received more than 17000000 euros in e.u. subsidies to the agra for business with which he has been both directly and directly connected and the e.u. audit allege significant conflicts of interest in his private business although he's said he doesn't think he's done anything wrong and he called the e.u. report an attack on the czech republic do you see that report as an attack on the czech republic or for the us is an attack on the country i think that we should leave it to investigators to come up with a final final findings. we we have the ministries responsible have provided the information the european commission asked for i believe tha
