continued every evening after the end of the day sessions of the central committee of the socialist unity party a representative of this committee will talk to each german and. foreign journalists to answer their questions as you can see huge numbers are assembled here them as in they don't under. one of the journalists present was american news anchor tom brokaw. i'm pretty draw shooting sports 5 o'clock i've formed a monarch so i said there's our satellite. capabilities still there and they said yes ross we're getting a crate of a projector over a high shot all that time peter brinkman had managed to defend his seach. the moment waiting for the room was crammed full nobody knew anything nobody had the faintest idea but everyone felt something was up we had to be there for whatever was going to happen today victor. at the same time in warsaw how much code was meeting let fall winter. we had to talk with will and earn during this talk he said mr chancellor the events taking place in east germany will lead to german reunification of food for those of us for lens or was convinced this would come

he is replaced by a man who head of the socialist unity party. over and hekes decides to use a different approach, because this approach escalating violence has proved to be self-defeating. he decides, what he is going to in public a good game but not actually change much in private. sounds going to make it like he's going to copy reformsv and institute without actually doing them. and most importantly, on the 1989, innovember 9, in divided berlin, he decides to announce some relatively minor changes to emigration rules as a sock to the crowds. regime still retains its ability to control the absolutely onople a win. it still has the berlin wall. all of that. nothing has changed. bottom line has not changed. but he's going to announce a that sounds good in public. but the problem is that, at the conference, to make this announcement, the member of the -- the member who announces the announcement. he makes it sound unintentionally as if the changes are real. and in this super heated atmosphere where people are energized, have lost their fear, this

tell us where that stands, in your efforts to keep the party from flying apart as we get closer to the actual nomination. >> our unity is our greatest strength as a party and it's donald trump's nightmare. our unity is what helped us win last night and in 2018 and 2017. and every candidate running for president understands this is not about them. this is about democracy at a critical inflection point. that's why i asked every candidate to not only pledge to support the nominee but to pledge to actively campaign for the nominee, to have a surrogate, an ambassador, if and when they leave the race, because one thing we know is that if there are 20 some odd people running for president, all but one will not make it to the mountaintop, and every one of them has taken that pledge. they sign a document early on if they are running as a democrat, they made a clear commitment to us. i have absolute confidence that everyone will follow through on that. that doesn't mean we don't have disagreements in the primaries. that's what primaries are for. that doesn't mean we won't have a tough primary. that's what primaries are for. wh

whack at beating the donald more than a year away from the vote democrats are beating the drum of party unity and standing together and get her away from the vote democrats are beating the drum of party unity and standing together against donald trump one thing all of the democrats could agree on the issue of impeachment is reviewing the use donald trump one thing all of the democrats could agree on the issue of impeachment is reviewing a united front against president the next leader is going to have to be one amongst the united front against president the next leader is going to have to be one among those democrats that can unite us all we must elect a democrat democrats that can unite us all we must elect a democratic president of the year 9 and. now you would craddick president of the year 9 and. now you would think that defeating a president to trade on t.v. as the orange menace wouldn't be slink that defeating the president portrayed on t.v. as the orange menace wouldn't be so difficult but reality does not always match expectations now the 1st press owed difficult but reality does not

be going slightly but not -- >> he admires the democrats for staying so close together and their party unity. he seems to be vacillatings on whether or not he thinks republicans have a similar party unity. last night, he came close to criticizing mitt romney but then walked back and didn't criticize him. i think the main response from the president is really admiration for democrats for being so partisan about this. while at the same time insisting that they're partisan. but, you know, what you get from the president and you got it last night is this condensed version that you cannot be impeached if you're doing a good job. so he mentions the economy. he mentions job numbers. he mentions the stock market. he talks about all his successes with judges. we can look at the poll numbers and even if that number gets to 50%, what matters is republican states where republican senators are representing and that's why the president's spending so much time and effort making sure the republicans don't have any defeats in this off-cycle election. he's been in louisiana. one place to watch that could be a

i think we'll see party unity for the time being. as this process unfolds, if public opinion starts shifting, you will start to see some republicans step out and create some distance between themselves and the white house. >> joigs, you have a fascinating new piece in "time." i read it this morning. you talk about the president's defenses so far and the thesis essentially is all of them are doomed to fail. let's put the republican talking points back on the screen as well so folks can digest that once again. do you still believe that all of his defenses will fail in light of these talking points that have been released? >> i think they will. the talking points are pretty weak sauce. what the president has tried to do is what he does every time he finds himself in the middle of a scandal. he starts throwing spaghetti on the wall and hoping something will stick. he's the master of to turn a phrase. here we have read the transcript. that doesn't help very much. if you read the transcript, you see the president trying to offer a bribe or

a sigh in the room when she delivered that essential speak up or shut up message and called on party unity but not requesting you know or asking it as a favor but really confronting the issue which has been looming in this room after that she received some 7 minutes of standing ovation so that in itself a clear message that the party certainly the delegates here don't really want to see the kind of infighting that is torn apart already the other big tent party just social democrats will speak up or shut up is certainly a very good way to put it in light of that do we expect that friedrichs merits could come forward for example as a contender to replace her that he'd be a dead set or all that other contenders if it came to that. there won't come to that definite won't be a vote here that would be a very dramatic turn of events i think the figures to be would appear in the room for them and for the mets himself just days before this party conference said that this showdown simply was not going to happen but after having been beaten one year ago he still sees himself as the one who should be

escalating and might be posing some harms to the others so you move to almost chinese communist party unity that's vital for. them argue you can talk nobody can dispute what we do argue and we do discuss about our actions and even even after those vandalize asians we've got some discussions online on the online forums about and we do reflections of on on our actions so i believe there are those around and still goes on who can stop it who can all do it to stop well i believe nobody can try to stop it unless it is so it's out of control and if nobody can stop it alas when the unless when the younger generation is sent to gether they're willing to stand there with together with the older generation for example like so far like student leaders together with some so they can leaders from the pro-democracy side when. when these leaders try to stand up together and say now we have to do something peaceful and to stop the phallus i believe that might be. there might be a way to stop the violence and the other thing about zones pretty tentative. is predetermined pretty difficult once the train is r

on the question of party unity, you have a unity pledge you have asked candidates to adhere to, andyou have talked about expanded unity pledge, which is just to have candidates serve as surrogates for the eventual nominee, but also have a senior adviser from each of their campaigns work with the winning candidate for the nomination, and also shared data, which is critical land which bernie sanders didn't do in 2016. tell us where that stands, and your efforts to keep the party from flying apart as we get closer to the nomination. unity is ourr greatest strength, and it is donald trump's worst nightmare. our unity is what helped us win in 2017 and to win at scaling 2019, and when last night. every candidate running for president understands this is not about them. democracy at aur critical inflection point. that is why i asked every candidate not only to pledge to support the nominee, but to pledge to actively campaign for surrogatee, to have a , and ambassador, if and when they leave the race. because one thing we know, if there are 20-some odd people running for president, all but one

couple of years ago and since then they've really brought the winds of change to the party and a new sense of unity which for a long time was. one of the setbacks for the green party for many many years and since then this back combat book they've been on a mission to prove that the green party here in germany is no longer just a one issue party and we've seen as well today in this weekend here at the party conference here in bella felt they've been focusing on issues such as housing even foreign policy and also economic policy which has always been one of the trickiest points for the green party and of course it goes without saying that because of the ongoing climate change debate and climate protection debate going on not only in germany but around the world right now this is really given the green party here in germany a chance to shine and put them back in the limelight and also offer an alternative to voices who have become wary of many of germany's more established policies like the conservative c.d.u. and the social democrats. speaking about the green party as an alternative to the mainstrea

he seems to be vacillating on whether or not republicans have a similar party unity. last night he came close, but then walked back and didn't criticize him. i think the main response from the president is really admiration for democrats for being so partisan about this while at the same time insisting that they're partisan. what you get from the president, and you got it last night in tupelo is a condensed version, you cannot be impeached if you're doing a good job. he talks about all the successeses with judges. we can look at the poll numbers, what matters is what happens and in republican states where with that senators are are i wanting. that's why the president is spending so much time and effort to make sure the presidents don't have any defeats, so he's going to be in kentucky. he was in mississippi, in louisiana. one place to watch that could be a barometer is virginia, because virginia has a legislature and they have those state house, and the house of burj ess, and that could be a barometer for where the company is in year three of the trump presidency, whe

mandate from the israeli president to try to form what the israeli president wants a unity government between his party and netanyahu is he says that this was the right decision. that this is something that is required he's been recommending a tougher response on gaza for many months simply the president is saying this is not a time for political squabbling but for all to unite in concern for israeli security still as i say we're waiting to hear from benjamin netanyahu himself and his army chief of staff we expect that any time now. that with the latest and most recently or thank you some imbecile amiss a palestinian journalist who joins us live from gaza sami even on the best day life is not easy and gaza so what is it like now as this is happening what are people what are their fear for their concerns. right now people. drones are hovering in the guy's us try and people to receive one body in the in the hospital in north of gaza as according to hamas sources one have just been killed in an airstrike as it's like trying to get to 2 guys who were in in a circle and 2 others one do anyway but it is expe

of swallow their own needs and their own self-respect to just for the sake of, as harriot said, party unitys at stake. don't take black voters for granted. >> how much does representation matter? by that i mean, obviously when barack obama ran in 2008, the historic campaign, a lot of black voters said to me, he's a black man, obviously i'm going to vote for him because he's black. does that matter as much as it did ten years ago? >> let's be clear, a lot of folks said i'm going to vote for john mccain because he's white. >> or donald trump. >> we've seen that time and time again. pete buttigieg -- we see cory booker struggling to get traction. >> deval patrick had that event at morehouse -- >> two people showed up off camera. >> pete buttigieg, what he has done very well, and we'll see if it sticks in south carolina, he has humbled himself when he goes to all communities because of his age, his service to the united states and said i actually do want to learn more. if you're running for the presidency, running as governor, senator or mayor who is 37 years old. i think that's where he's actu

. >> another point is party unity. so far there's little evidence of any serious breaches from either side. what's the likelihood this would change, what happenes if it doesn't? >> it doesn't seem like this is going to change. one thing that's been so clear from the impeachment proceedings is it's united the democrats and united the republicans. especially on the house side. you saw republicans on house intelligence committee really unify and defending the president. saying that what was laid out in the call was not impeachable offense. they brought forth the process argue thamts have been put forth by the white house, accuse democrats of trying to move the president politically. the democrats are united in the impeachment inquiry. we saw only two not vote in favor of formalizing the impeachment proceedings a couple of weeks ago. i don't expect that to change. but of course it could. you know more information could come out. but right now, it seems like both parties are unified in their respective camps. >> i'm curious

majority so look to garner the support of a victor lieberman's party but he refused them both and urged the 2 leaders to work together and form a unity government how a force that has more now from west jerusalem. or 4 hours before the expiration of the deadline for benny gantz to make a coalition government he came to the microphones to admit what had been coming increasingly clear throughout the course of the day that he had failed but he put the blame for that squarely at the feet of the prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying he had been fortifying himself inside a transitional government against the will of the israeli people just to try to avoid prosecution impending corruption cases and he used particularly personal
