A protege of chancellor Angela Merkel and many believe that shes being groomed to see her. And the notorious drug lord your welcome good smith known as el chapo is sentenced to life in prison by airports in new york he also faces a bill of 12600000000 dollars from the proceeds of his drugs empire. And as arctic snows melt scientists are and he sweats over a heat wave in a land that usually follows in the entire year. Im off its good to have you with us tonight the World Health Organization has declared the Ebola Outbreak in the democratic republic of congo a Public Health emergency of International Concern although. Its a rare designation that used only for the most serious epidemics it comes after the virus spread to the eastern city of goma on congos border with rwanda ebola has killed more than 1600 people in the country since last august the w. H. O. Decision followed a meeting of experts in geneva today the w. H. O. Its chief says now is the time for the International Community to play a greater role in fighting the. Now is the time for the International Community to stand in solidarity with the people of the democratic republic of congo not to impose peace even counterproductive restrictions that we only said to isolate them i stress this the government of b. R. C. Is doing everything it can they need the support of the International Community. For more now im joined on the line by Christian Lynn meier from the w. H. O. In geneva mr lynn meier its good to have you on the program tell me what can the International Community do right now. But a couple of things of course and want to reinforce measures right now is for the world to realize it is a National Community realize that funding and support for the country is needed heavily so that the channel also said today and the states man that we need unless the International Community steps up to now and sons to respond now we will paying we will be paying for his break in the future and a much higher price so there is now a Financial Crime agreed before so called for Strategic Response plan is being prepared and we dont have an effect from yet but it will run into hundreds of millions for this is an important part of the charming. And the monetary support but also the Political Support the new for the Political Support and the monetary support to move ahead the world remembers the last major Ebola Outbreak in africa back in 2014 and we know that the w. H. O. Was criticised and due to budgetary cuts at the time promises were made back then to be better prepared the next time do you feel that you are better prepared this time. I think the whole world and better prepared this time also because it is it was a fairly new situation then with if it will end soon then we have many more improvements we have a vaccine we know what to do and how to find people and how to trace them how to may ring the vaccination around people who were infected who are infected how to talk to the community that because lets not forget this is a new fees which are facts of the community in an area where handling the scene and handling the sick people is a task for the family for the loved ones of the community to go and tell such such people in such a community to do that for us strangers tell them how to deal with a loved one is a huge task we know how to treat patients instead of having them in isolated tents then out in tents which have a clear cover clear plastic sheeting so you can see through so the loved ones can be outside the tent and watch and communicate with the sick ones inside the world has learned a lot since then i think the wasnt much better prepared but yet it needs money it needs funding and in its infancy. And the efforts of all to get all pulling together with the n. G. L. S on the ground with the ministry and the people on the ground of the communities dont forget the vast majority of the staff on the Ground Fighting to see one of the things is able outbreak are congolese in the democratic republic of congo i think to a missile in my that people around the world may be puzzled a little bit that if there is a vaccine for the bola virus then why is it still so difficult to control the spread of the virus is it is it because as you were saying that the local traditions of how to treat and handle the sick and the dead is that the biggest challenge. It is not the biggest it is it is actually something which a community in the stands very well and its an amazing its not surprising how well the communities handle this and how much they have prepared from that in most cases the foreigners which are most of the time by the way congolese but not from their own area so these are not these are not the these are foreigners from outside but we do use congolese stafford is to tell them how to treat their loved ones one of the Biggest Challenges and its least its a volatile cocktail which we feed and then you know hes called congo thats on some get about a year ago we had an outbreak in the west of congo which was i think hardly anybody remembers because the most down to me because also treatment was given vaccine rings when they contact were found quickly and the situation was put on the control this is the same things we would like to do in the northeast of congo but we do have a situation now where we have basically a civil conflict since he is an infant many years range and we have people in the thousands on the on the move in my cleaning across borders running away from conflict zones hiding being fearful of of anybody who is a stranger coming into the entire town into the village into dia so this is a dangerous cocktail all right christiane that linspire with the w. H. O. Joining us on the line tonight from geneva muscle in my we appreciate your time tonight. And with helping us understand this breaking news situation with this Ebola Outbreak thank you thank you very much. In sudan tonight the prodemocracy movement and the countrys Ruling Military Council have signed a document outlining a power sharing deal its an important step in the transition to civilian rule following aprils military overthrow of the dictator Omar Al Bashir amid mass protests the 2 sides are still working on a more contentious constitutional agreement that will specify the division of powers but there was a celebre tory told after todays sign these signatures marked the end of a bitter power struggle sudans military and opposition have agreed to install an interim government 1st to be headed by the military and then by the opposition new elections will be held in 3 years time.

But chance for a new era following months of upheaval the long time dictator Omar Al Bashir resigned at the beginning of april perhaps the protest movements greatest success but if 1st the military hunta did not want to give up power on june 3rd special forces brutally cleared a protest camp more than 120 people were killed and hundreds were injured. The International Pressure led military and opposition back to the negotiating table a basic agreement was reached but details were still being hammered out until tuesday night.

With the politician that many see as germanys next chancellor has taken up her 1st job in the governments kept it under great cramp or a k. K. K. As she is widely known replaces ursula fundal aryan as the countrys defense minister a k k leads im a Christian Democratic Party and many believe shes being groomed to take over when chancellor merkel steps down in 2021. There are ghosts ways to spend 2 per day as you turn 65. 00 and going to america was treated to flowers by her cabinet colleagues she treated herself to congratulating her now former defense minister was a laugh on the line on what is equally a victory for macko her election as new e. U. Commission president. Later the german chancellor got to lift a 2nd to a higher political level by appointing adequate compound successes c. D. U. Party leader as new defense minister quite a celebration. A. K. K. As she is known then carried out her 1st inspection of the honor guard and delivered her 1st remarks as minister. For lets never forget that men and women that serve and fight abroad for us. This is a great responsibility which im very aware of and will live up to. And i very much look forward to the task ahead of itself which to come. No questions allowed but with no experience of defense she will have some convincing to do. You have to lead the Nato Spearhead until 2023 we dont have the time for her to learn on the job. At times a. K. K. Has struggled to shake off the provincial image as the former leader of the small state of. Now is a cabinet minister come callin bar will have to take orders from the chancellor trading some of her liberties as party leader by getting closer to one day perhaps becoming chancellor. In the back row but im joined here of the big table by our Political Correspondent simon young simons good to see you so the woman known as a k k she is now germanys defense minister. Why does that bring her closer to possibly becoming the next german chancellor i think mainly because so far she hasnt had this cabinet Level Experience that shes now going to again in this important job but defense up to now shes been a regional politician she was the interior minister and then the leader of the the state premier in the small state of zod land before she just at the end of last year became the leader of merkels Christian Democrat Party so we should say karen that was christian democrat now and thats a job shes going to keep Going Forward with this new ministerial job so shes going to be incredibly busy but obviously if she can make a success of both of these jobs at the same time then that will set her up very nicely to succeed Angela Merkel which is what angloamerican apparently wants and it all looks good it has to be said that the omens are not necessarily that good in the job as party leader she hasnt been doing very well with poll numbers have been falling back actually thats why some in her own party of said it would be a good idea if she did take on a ministerial job then she could get out of the other job no shes going to do both she says so we will see but certainly this puts in the limelight in a way that few other politicians have been and it also puts or as you said exactly where we think the german chancellor once or to be and it comes in the same week where we have another person for the line becoming president of the European Commission we know that she is an ally of the german chancellor as well weve got Christine Lagarde is going to be the new European Central bank all of these are picks in choices if you will of america are we seeing the next chapter or even the the i guess the final plans of uncle americas chance or are they being sealed in completed before our very eyes right now i think. So i think last night in particular was an extraordinary the last 24 hours was an extraordinary sort of move of movement on the chessboard if you like and its a funny thing isnt it because we think of angle a miracle as somebody whos a very inclusive politician whos not really a power player necessarily she just does the logical things she often sees its and its all very soberly done but actually when you stand back and look at where we are now as you say Angela Merkel seems to have actually strengthened her position in the midst of all this shes now at the center of this nexus shes got her process in the Defense Ministry as i say poised if not exactly already placed to become a successor shes got a close eye life on the line there in brussels and shes got Christine Legarde at the the European Central bank angle a miracle is not finished yet but we know that this is her last shes only got a couple more years to write and people are concerned about whether or not shell be able to finish that term of their big concerns with episodes of shaking in public with the german chancellor today her office the chief of staff of her office said the chancellor has been given a clean bill of health and it was important for that announcement to be made wasnt it was because she has had these these these Health Concerns over the last few weeks weve seen these shaking incidents where shes been seen so the trembling really when shes had to stand still and theyve theyve tried to say that its a psychological effect rather than any nervous problem or any other more Serious Health problem as you say how the brown the chance 3 ministers come out with him to be today he said he said shes in good health and shell of course serve out her term until. 2021 and thats important that she does that was about so much work to do but you have f. In these concerns of the trying to allay the fears its also important because were at a time when. Were in the world of bricks it next week to resume a step down as the british Prime Minister across the atlantic problems with the Trump Administration congress has now officially rebuked the president for racist tweets the world looks to uncle americal still as a force of stability when she shakes the world trembles doesnt it. But i think thats a good way of putting it and when was it 2015 Time Magazine had her as the leader of the free world you know in the era of donald trump whos certainly shaken things up in in his own way and of course with major ructions around europe a lot of people continue to look to angle a medical as a solid anchor in these stormy times and so the sense that the final act and that you know shes as you say moving the people the pieces into place for when shes no longer around that i think will is both a matter of concern because it means medical its coming to an end but also it reassures people because she does seem to be doing it in an unusual way very few politicians while theyre still in office are able to organize the transition of Power Medical may be achieving that thats why the in germany they call their muti the mother of the country for it so i mean you know as always thank you for the german army has been hosting chinese troops at a military base in southern germany the 2 sides have been carrying out drills for one of the worst Case Scenarios they might encounter a disease pandemic the joint exercise aims to prepare both countries to respond to high casualty emergencies as they embark on you in aid mission. Casualties injured by land mines are brought to a un military facility it could be anywhere in the world its only a scenario but german and Chinese Armed forces medical staff a working together to treat the wounded the fictional operation in real bavaria is bringing unlikely partners together troops from the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army are taking part in an exercise on german soil for the 1st time the chinese soldiers have been trained for the last 2 weeks with their counterparts from the german army the bundeswehr a german Chinese Military exercise seems odd at 1st but china is investing heavily in its military forces and its bonding not only for unilateral purposes chinas getting increasingly involved in un missions abroad and Service Germany which gathered a lot of experience in this field in the last couple of yes for example in mali where German Armed Forces trained soldiers both china and germany contribute in mali to the Un Peacekeeping mission during the abel outback in 2014 the country was severely threatened by the epidemic. Back in the varia german and chinese troops are training for sea areas of possible disasters such as an outbreak of an Infectious Disease at a un refugee camp. A joint team runs tests in a mobile field. A lot about things that arent available in our country the technology in germany is very practical and we can learn from that from the. Corporation is so far limited to emergency medical scenarios there are no plans at the moment for joint military missions but even these tentative 1st steps help the Un Peacekeeping partners to gain a better understanding of each other. At 1st the idea of working together with chinese soldiers is strange its a very different culture but every. Day we work and practice together barrios breakdown and real friendships develop as it is to get financial from them difficult but if germany and china are deploying more military resources around the world this joint training should help both countries to run challenging operations more effectively in the future.
