Health of germanys chancellor is back in the spotlight. Seems shaking at an event for the 2nd time in just one week. With 2 of the us democrats debate just hours away well look at whether any in the crowded field have what it takes to deny a 2nd term in the white house. To miami to find out. Im good to have you with us tonight the European Union is calling on if only to find a quick solution to its standoff with a german in geo whose migrant rescue ship has entered italian waters now is that despite a ban that was imposed by rome on board the ship people. Off the coast of libya 2 weeks ago meanwhile the. Head of the federation of Protestant Churches here in germany has suggested that the church get involved in rescue efforts by partnering with civil organizations to send another ship to the mediterranean. And is that a realistic option to talk about that im joined here at the big table now by the chairman of germanys federation of Protestant Churches mr bradford strawmans good to have you on the program let me start by asking you why does the Protestant Church want to support search and rescue missions what were seeing right now in the mediterranean well the basic answer is pretty easy you do not let people drown period. It is a human duty and its certainly a christian duty to come to aid to people whose life is in danger and its intolerable its a moral scandal that those who have saved lives the only ones who save lives in the military and tearing and have to justify themselves are actually being criminalized instead of accusing those who fail to say floods let me just play the devils advocate here there are people who are going to say that you know all over the world there are people who need help people who are in trouble but theyre not getting the Media Attention that this ship is getting. Is that why youre saying that they should be helped because theyre in the spotlight well you should do both you should help these people and you should very closely look at all regions of the world to see how you can overcome poverty whole how you can overcome hunger overcome injustice both things are necessary but these people have been saved their lives have been saved and europe does not let them go to a safe haven what does that say about europe that is my question we. Speak about christian values in europe and then we do not let people lend who have been safe from terrible situations who have come from concentration camps in libya and who try to just have a safe place to stay what about trying to talk with the government in rome to put pressure on them to change the policy would there be a more feasible well of course of course that is exactly what has been done and we as a Protestant Churches in germany and i also personally we have of course called politics to act and i have been silent negotiations in the background in the last 2 weeks do you get the feeling that theyre listening to you the German Government does listen and the German Government has also said that they would receive for if your g. s and there are other governments there are 60 cities in germany alone we have said we will take refugees who have been saved and there are other cities in europe so that is not the problem that is the scandal that there is a place to stay for them many people want to health but the Italian Government does not let them help and they block the harbor they do not let the boat lend and that is nothing that we can tolerate europe cannot block itself against people whose life has just been saved and you were in sicily at the beginning of this month right what what did you see there well i visited the sea what 3 i visited the crew the authorities did not let me go on board but i took a rubber boat so i came close anyway and i heard the stories of the crew you have to imagine that they they find people in these rubber boats who are in real danger and then they take. Im on board and you can imagine what you see you see people. Who are in a place that smells very bad who are injured who need medical aid who are absolutely desperate and they take them on board and then you imagine that you have these people on board and they think they have been saved and then that you must tell them that europe does not want them to lend are you going to use your authority i mean can you confirm tonight been that some other ship will be sent in may be to take you know the migrants that are on this boat to take them in to bring them to assure to bring them maybe here to germany i mean what can you confirm tonight well there is a readiness by the government to receive refugees and so that is not the problem the problem is what happens in the mediterranean if the socalled libyan coast guard picks them up as europe wants them to do it they put them back into the camps and in those camps deep contradiction to all christian values and also to all humanitarian values so that is not an immediate option so that is why we as churches have said we want to help and there has been a big Church Convention of 100000 people a few days ago and from that big Church Convention where many thousands of people have come together they said we must act we cannot just speak if we want to take our Christian Faith seriously so they have made a resolution and gave it to us as the church as the Institutional Church and asked us to try to bring together a Civil Society group. Yes if you want to do this with the German Government being there with you this is not something that the church would be doing outside of the governments well and our what we say is it is the duty of the european governments to save lives and i have visited marine boat of the German Government to you. Years ago in the Sofia Mission this afia mission was called by the European Commission to destroy the Human Trafficking networks which i explicitly support but at the same time save at people who want more they find and they saved many thousands of people but this is over they not they dont do it anymore and what i say is that governments must do it but if they dont do it Civil Society must help ok bishop behind the fence from chairman of germanys federation of Protestant Churches mr butters well we appreciate you taking the time to talk with us tonight and you know please come back and let us know especially what happens with this thank you thank you World Leaders are gathering in the japanese city of head of fridays g 20 summit with no shortage of big issues to discuss the trade war between the United States and china is expected to dominate the white house as washington is still insisting on changes to intellectual property rules as a condition for any trade deal a top aide says that President Trump will decide whether to impose more tariffs on chinese goods after Meeting Chinese president xi jinping at the summit. Stormy weather greeted donald trump as he arrived in osaka but his fans braved wind and rain to get a glimpse of the u. S. President all eyes will be on trump when the 2 day g 20 summit begins on friday some 32000 police are on hand to provide security as they usually do the g 20 leaders will debate the condition of the Global Economy and world trade theyll also be plenty of bilateral meetings in Luxury Hotels on the sidelines of the summit one of these will come under particular scrutiny president term sit down with his chinese counterpart ping on saturday morning if the pair can strike a deal to reduce trade tensions the summit will be counted a success. The g. 20 the g. 7 and other multilateral summits are very important but the main thing to remember is that in vis world at this moment the United States leads the world. Japans Prime Minister says meetings like the g 20 are still the best way to resolve conflicts such as trade wars. People tend to focus on differences in the International Community but japan as the host country will focus on what countries have in common and what they can agree on me that. Will climate and the environment also be on the agenda its unlikely theyll be enough time for issues like those. 30. 4. The japanese presidency is desperately trying to focus on well traditional g. 20 topics such as the reform of the World Trade Organization or projects to fight Climate Change but what might happen here and is that all of this is overshadowed by the big trump shoulder does not believe in multilateral institutions in fact hes coming here to have a series of bilateral meetings and one of them is highly anticipated with the chinese president xi on saturday as we know both countries on the edge of a full fledged trade war and the outcome of that bilateral meeting might determine the fate of world trade in the next months up or down it was a correspondent in there reporting from osaka japan will the german chancellor she is also attending the g. 20 summit but today before she departed for japan there were renewed concerns about her health that after she was seen again shaking at a function see it right there she was standing next to the german president on valter steinmeier the 2 leaders were attending a ceremony with the outgoing Justice Minister and this comes just a week after a similar incident with the president of ukraine see a chance of shaking there last week when this happened the tremors were attributed to the chancellor being dehydrated in the summer heat. Well for more on the health of the german chancellor george read to be table by our Political Correspondents leoni for. That we want to reiterate the authors of the chancellor said today that she is doing following right exactly the spokesman came out afterwards and said the chance it was doing just fine and she would continue with her schedule as planned and she did indeed just half an hour later she went to the German Parliament for the swearing in of the new Justice Minister and then a couple of hours later she boarded a plane to go to japan to attend the g. 20 summit and then on sunday she will head to brussels where shes set to head to brussels for another you summit so it looks like the chance that im going to america is really doing fine she is continuing with her schedule as one company hears it today you know if youre not doing well youre not going to get a plane and fly to the other side of the world as merkel did earlier today but the Media Attention it has been tremendous belt the halls of the german chancellor and we you know we cant see enough its understandable right she is considered to be the worlds most powerful woman and when miracle shakes the world also shakes with her doesnt it yeah exactly concern is growing here especially also in germany and say i mean also across the world people are looking to america she stands more than any other leader of the world for that stability and especially in germany i mean shes been in power for 14 years and all of my adult life has been chancellor and machine else herself last year that she is not seeking another Political Office after her term ends in 2021. But i think the strangling today really shakes up people over germany because they anything that ignite suspicion that she might leave early its actually really puts people in a position to go to ask themselves what would germany look like after america actually steps down as chancellor yeah thats good thats a good point i mean the fact that people are worried about her health also forces them to be confronted with the period after the era of im going mental and how that will be Political Correspondent the only from her stock thank you. Well heres some of the other stories that are making headlines around the World French Police say a man suspected of shooting and wounding 2 people outside a mosque in the western city of brest has died of a selfinflicted gunshot wounds he is suspected of having opened fire as people were leaving the mosque and then fleeing in a car officials are investigating whether the incident was terrorism related to huge crowds turned out in istanbul today to celebrate the inauguration of the citys new mayor opposition politician in mom of new took office for the 2nd time 4 days after his decisive victory in a rerun election that was forced by president everyones ruling a k party a policeman was killed and at least 8 people were injured in 2 suicide bombings in tunisias capital tunis the attacks targeted security forces. Has forced or faced a string of extremist attacks in recent years some of them claimed by the Islamic State militant group. In the United States democratic president ial hopefuls have been battling it out in a televised debate they were 10 of the less well known contenders last night to the top 10 including joe biden and Bernie Sanders they will be debating tonight in wednesdays battle Elizabeth Warren cemented her status as a front runner using universal health care and Economic Reforms to score points in what was at times a heated debate with such a large field of runners more than 20 candidates few are putting money on one standout contender at the moment the w. s alexander phenomenon is in miami for the official start of the democrats race for the white house. To watch parts of it in a bar in downtown miami organized by a network of women of color in florida many told me they were interested and thats when things went to campaign but still needed to learn more about that candidate i expect to hear what their policies will be i expect. Here what how theyre going to take us to the future and i hope to see women standing up and you know talking about womens protective rights civil rights immigration and i need to learn more about them more centrist and right wing. Candidates because im a progressive they may root for different candidates but there is one thing we all agree on these are. The budgets of the Democratic Party here in miami say the year ending for a candidate who can be done on trump but many voters in view as have yet to fully tune in so the stakes are high for the 1st debates which have the potential to shake out the democratic president ial field the most diverse field ever many contenders have been struggling to garner attention and raise money now they have a chance to take their message directly to a National Crime time audience. And that was what they tried to do in the end is senator Elizabeth Warren was the only candidate on the 1st night to be pulling in double digits and set the tone for the partys progressive where i want to start this is i want to return government to the people and that means calling out the names of the monopolist and saying i have the courage to go after them other contenders remain more cautious suggesting some plans might go too far immigration policy was also one of the main topics with cool young costs would dominate and here the former mayor of san antonio proposed decriminalizing undocumented immigration the audience in this bar seems to like. From what i can see car strollers seem to be really impassioned about his plans his home feelings about the immigration issue yeah. The 1st debate is over. On thursday the leading candidates will take the stage in miami. And were a Washington Bureau chief alexander phenomena she will be in miami shes in miami again tonight watching the debate for you alexander so weve got one debate dale one more the. Last night you got a bit of what were your main takeaways. Here you write and we saw last night one or 23. 00 matches but i was so surprised that the candidates didnt show a huge appetite to go after each other they were polite for the most part they stuck to their preferred issues and messages so no one thought for its real damage i would say there was no real stake oh its a moment for any of them with one exception as we saw in the reports i think that cooley on cost roll was one of their when there are so yesterday obamas former housing secretary was has been so far middling performer struggling in his campaign but it was hes the moment yesterday when he talked about the immigration policy in a very patient and way and very health and take he got a lot of ops laws and now we have to see if hes team hes can paint can do anything to capitalize on this success thats right and of course you know well have to see what happens in tonights debate as well. Interestingly enough last night donald trump was mentioned but he was hardly a major feature in the debate. I was surprised that the candidates didnt talk about it very much but i think that the reason for that was that they wanted to. You know to sell their poll. Cease to talk about their personal proposals day wants to take their message a message just directly to the prime time audiences because many of them are still not very well known in the u. S. So they tried to use this opportunity to really get their message out and we know that issues Like Health Care immigration they were very important in the debate what are you expecting to hear and see tonight. Well we are going to see the same stage the same for much and the same jam packed 10 Democratic Candidates but i think thats did that made tonight will be quite a difference and one candidate i expect him to be at center stage and former Vice President joe biden he is considered the clear front runner and he is expected to be the main targets today and we will see if he is going to use his humor warms and charm as a weapon against the oliver candidates or eve he we will see and understand while he sees to have the reputation of a gaffe machine a gaffe machine thats right they said that once or twice for sure alexander phenomena in Miami Alexander thank you.
