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 chancellor expecting to remain in that role up until the next election but will not stand again as chancellor of germany eighteen years she's been in charge of the christian democrats it's coming to an end and it may well be a new christian democrats that enters twenty nineteen. i'm sure you'll be keeping across this breaking story for us peter our europe correspondent peter all of our life from ben and thank you. angela merkel is germany's famous female chancellor and the longest serving lead to in the european union she is widely recognized as the most powerful woman in twenty fifteen mikko was nominated for the nobel peace prize for her open arms refugee policy angela merkel went into politics after the fall of

parties but you can't because. a member of the european social democratic party or a member of the italian or the german social democratic party. and we had the idea wouldn't it be good to develop this one step further wouldn't be good to have a leader or a peon wide political party that you can become a member of so that would be just one example there's a whole range of issues that we need to just break down in terms of what they mean if we're probably european so that would be just one aspect. i'd be interested in knowing often you said that. the question is that the s p d wants to work through you want to conclude these until the party congress twenty nineteen so what are these issues and is that mean the process of renewing the s.p.d. will be concluded in january. where we came up with a couple of issues that. are scaling back to myself think are important to debate but there are some others that are being debated as well and we will conclude the list as it were of issues by next week you know what are we going to do with the

the c.d.u. is currently a party in crisis. yes i do get the sense and i think it's not only neat getting that sense i think the party leadership and top party officials also recognize that the situation that the party is in now is a situation of of crisis and that comes obviously that refers to the fact that they have this very bad result and has said that they had this very bad result in a very of the c.s.u. the fact that even in the federal election in september they also had a result which many didn't consider to be an optimal result of for the c.d.u. the fact that anglo merkel has not only faced opposition from outside of her own party but also from inside the fact that there are more and more conservative members willing to come out and already discussed openly the end of the merkel era something dutch and i've been covering this for many many years now something that was a long some time ago not even possible to discuss and in fact angela merkel was described as someone who didn't give any other alternatives as a leader w

the union parties and the coalition as a whole all three of the parties in the german coalition need to pull all the stops out and work very hard to regain the trust of the electorate. thank you lars perhaps i could just make one statement and say that as a member of the party leadership nearest p.d. for me and i'd like to address the leadership of the c.d.u. chance america now. was chair of the party for eighteen years she defined her party for eighteen years which is an incredible achievement she took on the leadership of the city when the party was in a very deep crisis she was the first woman to take on this function. elected in this function by many men. and many men in her party many journalists male journalists as well said she was too weak but she not only stood to this pressure but she also. had a different form of leadership for her party and she set the course for her party in a new way she had a stronger will and she had stronger nerves than most of the critics in her party so on this day where she has said that she's not going to run as party chair again sorry i think th

the center left party. and the grand coalition is going through what he discovers an existential crisis after the disasters result in the elections in has what implications do you think message america announcements expected to be made shortly will have on the party. well of course it will have tremendous implications also on the coalition partner of anglo-american as conservatives the social democrats you mentioned the results in has it but you also have to say that the s.p.d. the social democrats have been losing consistently for a year now and they lost in the federal elections last year in september then they lost in bavaria and they always went down by some ten percentage points which is a tremendous loss of course lots of these voters went to the green party which has explained that result in that surge over there but. s.p.d. has been in an excess existential crisis as you say they have lost their profile in all of the surveys people answer to the question what do you see as the core strengths of the s

i'm actually here at the election party of this is too conservative part of the system party of anger marco c.d.u. and here there was a sense of there was a political earthquake it was predicted but it didn't get as bad as they had feared and that really is the key issue for the sea is you hear that they have been holding down the rounds thirty three percent and upwards of thirty five percent it's a long way down from so forty seven point seven last time there's a recognition that they were able to reach voters but also there's a sense that it's can't be their responsibility alone that lynn is partly to blame for this and when they say berlin they of course also mean german chancellor angela merkel the big question now is how much that shake up will translate straight into berlin the sort of question is it will definitely have an effect but there's no drastic decision to come out of here it's in a line of mine a shake ups that keep eating away at the power base of the german chancellor here in germany michalis talk about a party that didn't do as well as was predicted and that would b

been in this job as the party chairwoman of the c.d.u. for the last eighteen years. her name her ideology is written through the party we know pretty much what to expect from her what she's going to say we understand although as i said this isn't confirmed just yet she. said to say that she will step down and not seek reelection as the chairwoman of the christian democratic union however she intends to remain in the role as chancellor until the end of this term and then step down as had been widely expected what that means those essentially that she would rule at the behest of the party and stead of being sort of ruling while being in charge of the party that backs her up. it's a bold move it's not being done before we haven't really seen this type of phasing out of power since well add now way back in the one nine hundred sixty s. not resulted from stuff from scandal what we have seen is reaction to this from well i would say her political colleagues but they're certainly not friendly christie and the head of the free democratic party he

most from the disarray of the big parties the christian democrats the 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 linda gray and it's always thank you. all right now we go to brazil where the far right candidate. has won a sweeping victory in that country's presidential election no official results give him more than fifty five percent of the vote that's well ahead of the leftist candidate for. the final results were announced. on the streets a sign of brazil's division over its new leader. change has come to brazil after a decade and a half of leftist and centrist rule the far right has emerged triumphant. like it because it represents a shift in power we had the same group ruling the country for sixteen years and these results are making the people happy. i think it will be good for brazil we need a change i'm

the runs the party now in bavaria. and it's i'm sorry who is the premier and of area he is he has changed course he's had a very kind of far right kind of rhetoric and then all of a sudden realize that was backfiring in the polls decided to take a different tack and to attack the f.t. and all of that back and forth really makes voters very upset the person who could benefit from all of this if things go really south is if that who is then a long time german bavarian politician systemic kind of quiet spend a little bit in the background and if the if the party gets really upset with both they hope and so i think if i can i could come out and be the bavarian party leader it's an interesting one ok matthew was mentioned it's already been very it certainly has a lot going for it it's among the most prosperous parts of germany so the lowest unemployment the lowest crime rates it leads the way in education it's home to knowing blue chip companies it's even recently announced that it has its own space program but it's shakespe

are losing support the smaller parties are getting stronger and the fall is if the party is not represented in all of germany's state parliament sum up for us the change german party political landscape the party political landscape is becoming more and more fragment and there's no doubt about that but that's not only a german phenomenon it's also a phenomenon that we see in other parts of europe and that comes on hand in hand with the fact that traditional parties big parties like the conservatives under social democrats here in germany are losing ground and voters are professor into go to smaller parties in some occasions those parties are on the fringes of the political spectrum like the case of the far right alternative for germany thomas chancellor miccolis trying to seize the initiative in silence of critics by her announcement announcements but can't she last two full parliamentary term do you think well that's the very big question rita there's no doubt that call is weakened there's no doubt that her work could become much more complicated in the next few years on the

is the sister party to angle americal c.d.u. and the loss of strong support for the party could also shake up politics burl a painful is the word chosen by state marcus oda to describe the dramatic losses suffered by his conservatives but despite the dramatic support or the dramatic drop in support excuse me he made it an effort to show that the christian social union can remain strong have a listen. there are all kinds of different constellations that keep coming up it's hard to know how to take on responsibility but one thing is clear there is can if we all pull together the various can work a strong stable government and that is the promise that we want to make to the electorate. and horsed at their home for the c.s.u. party leader and also german interior minister on the federal level have been. pretty sure not talk so this is not a good day for us as christians socially and this is an election results that we cannot be happy with. but that's only one side of the coin the other side of the. day there in a letter to have clear

and the s.p.d. party leaders in berlin are now ready to change course student for politics at the federal level contributed a lot to our losses in hester and there are two reasons for that firstly something has to change in the end. we have a lot of work ahead of us so i think the condition of the government is unacceptable. that's these are they even we have to ensure the government does what . it was elected to do an end our fighting up that says i think whether we govern together or not the people expect us to do what's right and deliver results but support for the greens doubled from has this last election five years ago it's their best result in the state of venice i'm believe. this result is evidence that people from mainstream society a longing for another kind of government with different ideas combine is this do this while arguments also. the far right if he garnered nearly thirteen percent of the vote and his entering houses parliament for the first time it will then be an all sixteen of germany

a little bit bruised because if the conservative party the conservative party is not going to do well in that area it's not going to do well in tests and the state of hessen has an election in two weeks. and the pressure will mount for angola mackel to accelerate her or her -- pureed of succession to move forward they'll be a party congress in december at the b. s. certainly some challenges. but you know what i'm gonna mac i'll always surprises people missy is such a scrappy survivor. nothing she was comes up trumps yes somehow patina angle medical what is this the west is gonna be fun. i completely agree i think km last two years we've seen extremely that the leadershship from her. which has left a lot of room for other people to do this and fight about that. i think if she should she managed to reinvent herself and to come up with a story for germany that makes sense to people. that explains to them how she sees the country's future including the million refugees that are living here. then she may pull it off if she doesn't i think she better start thinking about his succession she'

because if you vote for the greens they're tied to a federal party that s.p.d. the social democrats the same sort of thing but that the c.s.u. is the only party that will you know represent varia in berlin and again through this refugee crisis and his disputes with merkel recently that show not to be true that he has been unable to push through a very an agenda in. berlin and people are are noticing that and are very frustrated with the c.s. use failure over the past couple of years to do what they promised to do and i think that's why were where we are now and that's also why the greens are doing so well because a lot of people on the other hand to you know might have voted for the c.s.u. previously more and more liberal types have been offended by all of this very aggressive rhetoric that's come from say whole friend and the others recently talk about the very aggressive rhetoric that's who ladies at the table to what extent is this about alpha males mentioned in the reports never really accepting a female chancellor never having developed property learns for a

and the left party are up only slightly. and here are some of the reactions coming in from the waiters and the losers of the bavarian state elections for. dismay at a watershed moment the c.s.u. loses absolute majority. of various unswerving oil to the party is over their opposition to underlie america's migration policy didn't pay off in the vault . sometimes for months after we've had a bit of a painful result even if we still have to wait for the election night to end we accept the result with humility and we need to learn from the result we'll analyze everything closely one thing is certain despite some predictions despite some discussions despite some comments the c.s.u. hasn't just become the strongest party it also has the clear mandate to govern. for the greens there was jubilation. but there you are again needs a political party that solves people's problems rather than constantly causing new problems and that dear friends is why this result has already changed many many thanks for that. doom and gloom meanwhile for

the knish parties the smaller parties being on the table all the other going to try to read transform politics is sort of in a way that makes them look better. what do you think we're going to see in terms of the varian parliament they now because i mean we have the greens here it's very clear that the two leading political parties are the c.s.u. and the green so it would perhaps make sense for them to form a coalition however that's not the preferred scenario for the c.s.u. in fact they want the free voters potentially that the f.t. paper cups you can explain to us what the free voters are i mean that's perhaps a bit of a. unfamiliar concept for some of our international the earth. i think a lot will depend on those regional elections that we mentioned in two weeks' time yet again regional election. but in a in a region in the german state where the c.d.u. so on guam ackles party directly will. receive a result for their politics and what is interesting in that state is that there is a conservative green government in that state so i think the outcome of those elections wil

led coalition they're even stronger than the social democrats right now the a if tea party the far right party who is by the way new in parliament stronger than the s.p.d. party so that's really unheard of and we're witnessing an increasingly fragmented party landscape that we've been knowing from other countries such as the netherlands for instance but not in germany so the fragmentation is now here at home in germany you know aspecific li about the current government voters issued a damning combination more than three quarters seventy six percent are quote dissatisfied were very dissatisfied with the conservative social democrat grand coalition only twenty four percent saying they are satisfied or very satisfied with the government's work. all over twenty four percent satisfied with the government very low numbers what does this tell us about attitudes right now towards politicians over a grand coalition as a government is an extremely unpopular option in germany and that's what that was already the case before the elections but that is a situation that is getting more and more extreme

with the people's 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

unfortunately the republican party is a long way from the party of equal rights you know and the party of lincoln that they that they like to talk about because you know we're heading into an election where the main message of the republican party is you should be afraid you should be afraid of this caravan of refugees of people trying to escape horrific economic conditions horrific violence who are by the way about a thousand miles away it'll take them weeks if not months to reach the border where they will be presenting themselves at the border to ask for asylum these are people trying to force their way into our country or trying to engage in violence these are these are people trying to lawfully present themselves at the border for asylum because of horrific conditions in their home country it's seven thousand people is not a violent mob and so the president's comments are incredibly incredibly unacceptable and they're irresponsible and this assertion of his that there are sort of these unknown middle easterners in this caravan they're insane and it doesn't make any sense except as

and the s.p.d. party leaders in berlin are now ready to change course students for politics at the federal level contributed a lot to our losses and has and there are two reasons for that firstly something has to change in the end. we have a lot of work ahead of us so i think the condition of the government is unacceptable. even we have to ensure the government does what it was elected to do an end are fighting. whether we govern together or not the people expect us to do what's right and deliver results but support for the greens doubled from has this last election five years ago it's their best result in the state. this result is evidence that people from mainstream society are longing for another kind of government with different ideas. but is this do this while. the far right garnered nearly thirteen percent of the vote and is entering has this parliament for the first time it will then be an all sixteen of germany's state parliaments following the election has the pressure is increasing on the govern

as we lost to the green party. nd now just to say we have to shift to the left or to the right cannot be the response of a mainstream party. and it's not easy to do but we're seeing it across europe and beyond europe too in some cases but what you have in the in the middle as sort of big tent mainstream party we need to be when she reach more voters you need to be stronger as a mainstream party so we won't be able to keep the germany stable politically and then what that means for me is that we need to. get voters back from both sides from the far right and the green party and that's not easy but it means we have to think through our concepts and i believe that this is a real opportunity so that people can see. you've been listening to a live press conference coming to you from the c.d.u. headquarters here in berlin at a press conference where chancellor angela merkel it took made a statement of then took questions from reporters asking her about a decision not to stand for party leader. in the party conference in d

later this year now the job of party leader usually goes hand in hand with becoming chancellor but before he left politics merits was considered until america was loudest rival within the conservative party could his return he said in the end of the medical error or today as miracle attempted to carry on with the business of being chancellor she was confronted with questions about not being chance. i believe that my position in international negotiations will not change at all. you could say i have more time to concentrate on my responsibilities as head of government. as far as the list of possible candidates for the leadership of the c.d.u. is concerned as i said yesterday this is an open process i've learned in the past as chair of the party that you shouldn't get involved in the question of succession it just doesn't work so that's something i'm definitely not going to do so it's an open process different people have put themselves forward and we'll look at that and make a decision at the party conference in hamburg. all right that is the german jets are going in there i'm jo

the h.d. than in other parties and the f.t. leadership has faced repeated criticism for playing down the crimes of the nazis were literally the nazis are no more than a speck of bird poop in more than a thousand years of successful german history. sergey like the d.n.c. is a leading member of president's jewish community and as far as he's concerned jews joining the h.d. is a bad joke but he says the party is resonating with some jewish groups and we shouldn't forget that about ninety percent of jewish people in germany are also eastern european origin mostly come from the soviet union and bring the whole baggage of stereotypes and a kind of a. liberal understanding of democracy and also there are people who are german speakers speaking who. are right wing and who are trying to use this and that instrument allows this feeling and this is what we're seeing. the juice in a veggie group would get short shrift at the mazeltov and in berlin the jewish own across the pinsky sees the group as no more than a tactic to divert attention

party. take a listen. >> the gop will be the party also of the american worker. [applause] [cheering] we haven't given credit to this but if you look how much bigger our party has gotten during this cycle during the early days when we had 17 people running the primaries. i won't say it was because of me, but it was. [laughter] [applause] and we have an amazing, strong, powerful party that does want to see america be great again and it's going to be a lot sooner than you think. [applause] we will not answer to the donors or lobbyists or special interests, but we will serve the citizens of the united states of america. [applause] global cooperation dealing with other countries getting along with other countries is very important, but there is no such thing as a global currency. i'm representing your country. >> the republican workers party is that where the idea was far before that in the campaign >> guest: pea coat at the republican workers party and it meant something. trthe way to understand the trup campaign is it was a battle fought on two fronts on the one han

in about what the hell they've been taking voters away from your party. we cannot accept hotties establishing themselves on the far left and the far right of our democracy parties that have entered all sixteen state legislatures and the german parliament parties which divide our society. cannot accept voters being suggest into populist movements to disappointment and frustration with the established parties and. freely admits he made a name for himself almost twenty years ago by advocating a leading culture in germany that should be adhered to by migrants coming in to the country is he the better weapon against the far right. under america ever could be i think people in this time looking for in taishan and the whole issue about migration is insecurity people have got fears what can happen we saw that already in the ninety's when we had got the play via so we knew that people are seeking for orientation and i think that's the message that he wanted to point out today that he wants to give orientation clear messages how we solve problems integration but als

this is all about the votes germany's major party is a losing support in the mind the party is getting stronger the far right is not present in all of germany state parliament so sum up for us the change to german party landscape you know there's been so much focus on the far right and it's correct to watch its rise with a concern but the fact is there's another message that we see coming out of these two very very important state elections the big winner is the green party the green party is a party firmly anchored in the democratic spectrum it is a party of liberal democratic values it has a lot of very forward looking policies voters in bavaria voters in hasn't said they like where that party is going. and where it could take their states and presumably germany as well so one thing that we may be seeing in all of this current disorder or in the shifting political landscape is the rise of a party that can become a serious contender on the national level in a potential future coalition possibly with a newly reformed christian democratic party the chancellor's party under new leadershi

but she is urging her party to get by the prime minister, so party to get by the prime minister, so itmey for me, she would say that. let's move on to the financial times and philip hammond, the chancellor. he made a speech today, a curious speech, referencing not quite the failure of 2ist—ce ntu ry referencing not quite the failure of 2ist—century capitalism. what did you make of it? it is difficult, he was saying we have to offer change, because jeremy corbyn was saying we have to offer change, becausejeremy corbyn and labour are offering change, he did not say that but that is what he meant, so we cannot be the party of continuity. even though they have been in government for years now. it is difficult when you have been in power for this long to drum difficult when you have been in powerfor this long to drum up any sense of excitement and change, and to suggest you're not good carry on doing what you have been doing for the last few years. in contrast to boris, as we said, although he is a divisive figure, boris is now clearly trying to put that clear water between him and the rest

and the green party through. soaked in this i believe we should pause for a moment and think i hope we see yesterday's election is a turning point that we put to the task we have sat done from the last federal election and until this moment there in lies the opportunity for us. exact time anglo merkel says she will remain as chancellor but is stepping down as the leader of the christian democratic union she had in the past said to jobs being the party leader and being chancellor they went hand in hand and you shouldn't separate one of the other this does come as something of a surprise the city you were in well day or a sort of dire straits has been in for a while but angle of merkel's been at the helm for eighteen years she's such a big part of the the d.n.a. of the c.d.u. today so for her to say that she's stepping down and somebody else is going to be shaping that party that's a that's big news perhaps worth noting that this was probably the most relaxed received angle of a speaking to the press in months it ac

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 soldiers there this week. around three quarter

and the social democrats they have been meddling with their own in the party debates they have done a lot of navel gazing and uncle macko got the feeling that voters punished both parties essentially in the coalition government they said enough is enough ungrammatical said i have to show personal consequences and i have to tell the voters i've heard your message and so i'm going to draw consequences. and we'll only see where the party will go well i was going to say because she can say what she likes but really twenty twenty one three years off can she really limp along as chance about low that will depend on who the pontiff decides. in terms of success because of course if she gets somebody who's a fierce rival like metz who's already put his hat in the ring let's not forget he was the parliamentary group leader till two thousand and two until uncle michael ousted him he then left politics he's now reappeared like a blast from the past and announced his candidacy if he is the party chair of course he's not going to make life easier is a chance of ok who else is likely to do th

in december he will have three years to be the head of the party with miracle as the chancellor will that last for three years oh that depends not just on us conservative party that depends also on a coalition partner the social democratic party that will depend how both will work together foolish mattson until america as chancellor so what's your gut tell you mr ginsburg it will be very powerful that so i expect. very good president was number of the german parliament we've you coming in and sharing your insights as always thank you thank you. nato is holding its largest military exercises since the end of the cold war dubbed trident juncture the vast gathering is taking place in norway parts of the north atlantic and the baltic sea all twenty nine nato member states plus finland and sweden are taking part it's taken months to get everything in position fifty thousand troops and support personnel two hundred fifty aircraft sixty five naval vessels and up to ten thousand military vehicles are now in the region moscow has called the maneuvers quote and russian exercise. all our reporte

fast ball out the next you do you party convention in december i will not run for the chair of the party secondly this fourth time is the last one for me i will not run for chancellor during the twenty twenty one election nor will i seek a seat in the parliament. for more on this story we can cross over live to belin who are your correspondent peter all over so medical stepping down as leader of her party what more can you tell us on this. right well what this does is it puts in play an interesting situation and says she will remain as chancellor but is stepping down as the leader of the christian democratic union she had in the past said to jobs being the party leader and being chancellor they went hand in hand and you shouldn't separate one of the other she had admitted this in her interview that in the statement she gave to the press earlier on monday saying that she had said this in the past and she realized she was going back on this how long she lost as chancellor though may well depend on just who gets the job as being the next head of the christian democratic union if it's one of

will start with the chances conservative party look at the german coalition so let's start with the conservative party stepping down as chair what does that mean it could to give them a chance to begin governing proactively rather than reactively and to begin disentangling their fate and their future from that the person of the chancellor and also from the past because she has come to be very very controversial including within her own party for the decision that she took in two thousand and fifteen to admit hundreds of thousands of refugees to germany and whatever you think about that decision the fact is that there has been bitter bitter strife within her party and in particular with its bavarian sister party the c.s.u. in regard to that decision and that has overshadowed many of the party's other topics there are other accomplishments and so essentially this is a potential restart for them to get refocused on the work and on the future ok and for this shaky coalition that has limped along since the start of this year what does losing this chancellor mean similarly it could be a kind of shock

are losing support the smaller parties are getting stronger and the fall is if the party is not represented in all of germany's state parliaments sum up for us the change german party political landscape the party political landscape is becoming more and more fragment and there's no doubt about that but that's not only a german phenomenon it's also a phenomenon that we see in other parts of europe and that comes down hand in hand with the fact that traditional parties big parties like the conservatives on the social democrats here in germany are losing ground and voters up are fairing to go to smaller parties in some occasions those parties are on the fringes of the political spectrum like the case of the far right alternative for germany and the former finance minister vulcan sure it was not president of the german parliament has commented on america's decisions this ticket listen to what he had to say. is want to do is use strong both together and therefore i would i would not be. so decides if she has announced she will run again that is an important step. to announce that

period i think for the the bavarian party to sort of find the right course forward. and the victors and midst of all of us are going to be the greens who are doing better than ever before it was all for the green chile breath you tell us a little bit more about the scenes you would love you to view as need to know about the c.s.u. from your perspective well i think they reflect the problem that a lot of mainstream sort of incumbent centrist parties in europe are facing at the moment and and there it's particularly poignant because they've been at the focal point of this migration crisis some people call it and you know on the one hand they have this rhetoric is under a set of being tough on refugees and they have this tradition of doing that but in practice i think a lot of people in bavaria look at what has happened with migration and refugee policy over the past couple of years and they say well you know they talk a good game but in practice nothing has really changed in terms of what is the c.s.u. has promised in terms of really you know tightening tightening thin

gaining from the larger party's losses the social democrats are also using voters. the blame game will almost certainly begin after the poor results the two big centrist parties are projected to get and many will point in this direction and hold chancellor america responsible for the decline of their. america's current government was formed just seven months ago the toughest period might lie your head following the bavarian election. cross to the bavarian capital munich where did these chief political editor and mccain of course now standing by. a highly anticipated election as we're reporting what have voters been telling you are the issues on their minds. various issues ranging from social security housing is very spens of also here in munich and so those people who enter the state parliament you see behind you will have a lot of bread and butter issues to deal with but when you talk to people longer the issue of migration always comes up both with those who want to see a much tougher line that would be playing into the line of the interior minister of angela merk

the c.d.u. sister party saying that he was going to walk out and quit over refugee totals that were being allowed into the country and he didn t. manage to come to some kind of agreement whereby he would stay but popularity remained incredibly low migration has remained a factor in chipping away yet. who before twenty fifteen was polling incredibly highly both her party and herself personally were polling incredibly early it was then that she announced that germany would welcome with open arms refugees and migrants from across the world in conflict zones and that has really well it's really impacted upon her coalition upon her government and it's when that started to impact upon local elections and the party and general in the c.d.u. as a party not just angela merkel well that is when she's deemed that she needs to step down so she will step down as chair of the party says that she will remain. chancellor says she wants to see it out till twenty twenty one whether she lost that far i guess that all depends o

is the party of the environment. it is the party of we, not the party of me. it is the party of inclusion, not the party of exclusion. it is the party that believes that someone who is nice to you but not nice to the waiter is not a nice person. [applause] it is a party that understands that we care about the people assembled in the hall and we care about the people who will be here after work cleaning up and cleaning the bathroom. that is who we are. we are the party that remembers who this nation is and how we got here. we know if you want to go far, go together. we democrats, faithful to our history, have to remember, if we are faithful to our history, we have to remember how changes made. change is not made by us sitting there hoping things happen. change is not made by waiting for washington. we democrats know that change never comes from a washington, it goes to washington. you all know this, come on now. it was not a bunch of men in washington that sat around one day and thought to themselves, yes, it is time for women to have voting rights.
