then she also talks about the european army both of the both leaders talked about a european army uncle america however talking about a long term proposal. definitely looking at this in the much more in the short term and they also both talked about briggs it and having a common position on bragg's it who can have a common position on bragg's when it's so divided and so divisive and see clearly of a lot of issues where they may differ we know that the relationship between france and germany has also faced considerable strain in recent years so what we've seen today are the senior leaders talking the talk they have now gone behind closed doors they have to walk the walk can we expect something concrete coming. in the next month or exam it's not just the main issues that i just mentioned whether we're you know they do have very different positions i mean they do they they talk this over they don't walk the walk in essence that one with seems to be the mind of tragedy between these two characters and in terms of their leverage and how they can approach solving your problems because i'm going to bu

by migrants coming in to the country is he the better weapon against the far right if he than uncle 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 sleigh 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 also a question of accepting rules that's a discussion about that our rules that we have here have to be is accepted by people who come here i think his message is clear sentence and yes it is it is the criticism that angle a miracle is that regime failed that she was it for example she was willing to put a cap on the number of migrants coming into the country she seemed to be just her bail on this issue and comes along and says i'm going to tell you where i stand and that's going to win the election for them and i think the difference is and for these mats pointed out

she is uncle america anointed successor. and it was the chancellor's legacy that undergrad graham carabao up on that first in his speech is this in the. this is the end of an era in which there are many personal relationships as many personal experiences that i connect with angela merkel. but this is also the end of an era that has changed and shaped the c.d.u. in a very special and lasting way the big. comeback or about was state premier of zala and before i'm going to medical brought her to belin as secretary general of the c.d.u. in that position crime carabao has effectively been met cose right hand woman but with many in the party disillusioned with merkel and her governing coalition her challenge will be to step out of merkel's shadow and shop and her own profile. today she said it was time to open a new chapter. yet she refused to criticize the chancellor's controversial immigration policy saying the challenge now is to find solutions and you know. when somebody knocks on our door and we take their men and give them p

you made you are quoting the book this is a journalist and allowed him to come very keen to me uncle america run a scandalous complaint and i was very angry in the evening about that campaign she lost nine percent in the polls so this i think the description of reality and i'm not a bad loser are you looking for a comeback in federal politics i'm not very likely not i'm not looking for a comeback i'm here i don't have to get picked to come back. politics i'm serving as a member of the europe of the german parliament. i have not to come back to you i'm going do you want to do you see while you're interviewing me in country so do you do you why are you interviewing me in conflict why because i want to find out about what you what you thought about your campaign and your time is european so i'm still president i'm serious still interesting for conflict so she won't have to go after the organize a comeback i know but i'm asking about your future intentions where you still see yourself on the federal state spending a part in federal politics putting yourself back as a candidate in the future as a

uncle america's party turn sharply to the right now that she's stepping down as party leader i don't really think so because you know you can see that in all elections especially in the states the regional states they have won by those candidates in the middle of the road and if. the conservative party shifts to the right as the sea as you did in bavaria they lose heavily so i think that every take titian in these party knows but they have to keep on staying in the middle and you can see that the new. candidate for the party leadership who is by birth very right wing now tries to go into the middle i mean his he had a press conference on tuesday and he was very very. laid back when it came to conservatism he was he really tried to angle for the green voters so you see i think that basically nothing really will change if he will only try to be a bit more conservative than not looking more conservative than if you asked me you seem to be trying to angle for everybody because he certainly did say that he thinks that the party needs to win back some of those who have drifted away that it

also what has cost the conservatives internal and external support that this government led by uncle americaand the c.d.u. appear to be more busy with itself she doesn't want that in this compound competition she's political editor of the here the coast and with the latest from birdland thank you so much. sports news now and the champions league a limo tuckey from b.w. sports is here with us to take us through the best of last night's action and look ahead to tonight's game so let's start first with dortmund because this was a tough two nil defeat by a logical last night but well wrong would you say. first after months attack was missing in action and it led of course stingy defense didn't live up to expectation this time endorsement just struggle massively and at the end they lost control of the game when so us in the thirty minute he made it one nil that wasn't the end of it because then we also had in the second half ton greaseman double the lead in the eightieth minute and basically it led a comet or it ending months fifteen match unbeaten streak but let's be honest with ourselves if you

democracy there's also the issue of a hard done position towards refugees how is the government of uncle america reacting to these controversial policies by its neighbor. my impression is marco is running at the escalation strategy through and through she is apparently a void being the great criticizing of the kolisch government you could see it again today at the press conference in also both america and polish prime minister more obvious keep tried to show a harmony and the stress the pollens both were agreeing with. energy security is another issue that's causing friction between the two you mention the gas pipeline tell us more about that well this is called north stream two pipeline that has been strongly and repeatedly criticized by the polish government this sea bottom pipeline connects directly iran and germany up to now most of russian gas is running through ukraine and poland germany and other western european countries poland baltic states and ukraine are afraid russia could use this new pipeline as a kind of political weapon and cut off the got supplies for these countries and others
