Or as shes known is a close ally of chancellor and his why do you seen as a hand picked successor. Also leads a conserved. C. D. U. Body she was asked to take over the difference fought for you after all is enough on the line was appointed the next president of the European Commission. Joining me now is our political cars fallen Emmanuel Chaz Emma what can we expect from on a good company how would you approach her new role as defense minister do you think well you know its a very tricky position to be in for and god. Can borrow she inherits from poison gets from chancellor america with that Defense Ministry because the minister has been marred by several can those there were some far right at mons apparently present in the german Defense Ministry and more most recently. Theres a theres a scandal theres a spending scandal which broke so she will tug she will have to tackle all of those issues during her mandate as defense minister and came up again already say in what ways she might differ from a pretty says that or is it off on the line. Yeah well contrary its also i found a lie and i got come cound our. Head elected office but also off on the lie and i had been a minister for a very long time when she inherited from the Defense Ministry and while also off on the law and has now moved on to become europes most powerful figure on a calm calendar with have to prove herself on the federal scene here. Stay with me i come back to you and just a moment but 1st lets look at the Defense Ministry as we heard from emma just now its why do you know him to be a very difficult one lets take a look at the challenges and i get. Faces. Some swearing in ceremony for the newest recruits to germanys armed forces when they started a few weeks ago was enough on the line with still their chief now their commander is conservative c. D. U. Leader come. Shinseki think its very good i think its good that women too can show what they can do is going to be. Trying she seems to me to be a very stable minister. I think she does a really good job ok sorry for interrupting that report to get across the life of the German Parliament with a new defense minister is being sworn in you could too. No problem has been essentially on the northanger just on a good cotton ball has just been sworn in as the defense minister huge applause reaching a swearing in. Thank you then you see that there were differences minister or the life on the line whos now been elected as the president of the European Commission she takes that post in november and also there we see german chancellor Angela Merkel she is the mentor for undergrad concord and bauer and many say that the new defense minister is her chosen successor. Would be. So good wishes and greetings coming war the new defense minister of all gung scheuer blood runs in the house of. Cards at your platoon dont you. Wish to go. Work. Thank you thank you sir again greeting and now you have the former defense minister. Who was last on the line being thankful for what she has done for the Defense Ministry and of course before that we had good wishes for the new defense minister and a great column by our. Look we joined our colleague again our Political Correspondent emmanuel chazz. M. O. V. A saying these pictures with germanys new defense minister on the get cramped how involved she is why do you feel as a woman who was chosen by Anglo American to succeed as german chancellor. How does the post office German Defense minister fit in with all of that. Well whats interesting as well as our time can borrow is also provoking controversy with our job because she had stayed before hand that she wouldnt hold office in the government as long as she would be ahead of the c. D. U. So now nomination came as a surprise but it would also be an occasion for her to learn the ropes so to speak because they would be have 1st time in the federal government and the 1st role as a minister it would also be a way for untried comp ok karen barlow are to improve her popularity shes been quite in popular of late after a series of scandals of controversial comments popularity of late after she made controversial comments over and over limiting the freedom of speech especially with a young electorate and as youre speaking let me remind you if youre just joining us youre watching new special coverage coming to you as germanys new orleans. Warner defense minister and a great column. Is. Speaking and accepting this new position that shes just got she is viewed as a potential chancellor shes a protege of chancellor Angela Merkel and shes addressing parliamentarians there who have been called specially from their summer recess for this occasion and this ceremony is not being held in the right in the bundestag where normally parliamentarians would meet theres construction work going in there so this is taking place in another another building a government building and well hear the new defense minister laying out her priorities for her term as a cabinet minister. Now shes also the head of the c. D. U. Party leader. And shed already said that this was a position she did not want a cabinet position she wanted to focus on her job as the c. D. U. Party leader. So help werent meant as a big surprise and let me go and watch as a Political Correspondent who is listening. To us as well so am i really listening to ana did come out and now be concerns among some people that she is using this post as a springboard to turning into a chance to how difficult will it be for her to manage both positions as defense minister as well as a leader of the party. Well thats exactly the controversy that has sparked she had said she would never hold a position in the government as i said earlier and now shes having those 2 very important important roles to deal with however shes also the hope of her own party the c. D. U. The conservative party to be angle americas successor. If i go america remains in office until 2021 so she is a she and bodies the hopes of her own party and she will have to juggle both roles even that is very controversial not least within the conservative party and she made a fuss to address after she was appointed as a defense minister last week and she talked about increasing the budget for the Defense Ministry how was that received yes im rita she last week few days ago she gave a speech to her to the german army had the occasion of a commemoration of the assassination attempt of those he had led by German Military in 1944 and she reassured their troops she say she would do her utmost to actually improve the finances of their ministry so that would be the task that lies ahead for her sorting out their finances in her minister well see if she is up to the task exactly because in a she also promised that she would increase the budget to meet the need to stipulation that 2 percent of the g. D. P. Must be spent on defense but the Defense Ministry is described sometimes as a poisoned chalice in german politics the Defense Ministry requires more than just money doesnt it theres also a huge problem with equipment and restructuring. Exactly there will only be so much that i can count power will manage to do in the minister hands will be tied by the limits for example but that will be a way for everyone for the conservative party for angle america and for german citizens in general to see how under god come our power surges in that minister as you say it is a poisoned gift shes been given when becoming minister both that could be also the occasion to see whether she has what it takes to become germanys next chancellor so a big challenge but also a huge opportunity emmanuel chairs our Political Correspondent thank you very much for being the latest on the newly sworn in defense minister of germany and a great. Shes just been sworn in a few minutes ago thank you now to britain which will have a new Prime Minister by the end of the day Boris Johnson will move into darling street at a crucial juncture for the nation as it prepares to leave the e. U. He said to head a probe gregg said government but hell have a razor thin majority in parliament we get the latest from london in just a bit but 1st this report feel worse johnson is elected as the leader of the conservatives thanks. As a ploy Boris Johnson one said he wanted to be world king now hes been crowned leader of britains conservatives after a boisterous campaign his acceptance speech was full of his trademark gusto. Everybody thank you. For youve been friendly youve been good great should you be the front of excellent ideas which i propose to see you. Rick. And above all i want to thank our going leader to reason with her Extraordinary Service to this policy and to this country the country johnson inherits is mired in deep political crisis is most important tasks by far will be delivering losses prita sesar could rise the country were going to get brits done on october 31st will take advantage of all that jesus said it will bring in a new spirit of can do and we are once again going to believe in ourselves and what we could achieve some slumbering joint were going to rise and ping off the guy ropes so dart and negativity the pose may have been lived but johnson will struggle to get brussels to agree to respect the plans at home his party is divided and its majority in parliament is wafer thin the new Prime Minister also divides Public Opinion i dont think hes a great leader and i dont think hes going to get is out of the e. U. By halloween i think thats just a fantasy and i think hes going to be like a headless chicken running around race monster because he doesnt have the ability to actually negotiate with these with pasty let alone the im much more excited because i think we need a visionary leader we dont need to detail thats what the Civil Service is we need we need you know theres thousands of them are going around the corner in all the streets but what we need is a visionary we need someone history to say what they promise hes going to do which is to leave the problem to the 1st cause finding a way out of the braggs a quagmire and staying in power that may be rather more difficult than johnson cares to witness. Did every london correspondent Charlotte Fox is standing in front of 10 downing street and joins me from their shiny u. S. President dollar trump has given a ringing endorsement to bars johnson calling him britains donald schon how the people of britain feel about this and how they are reacting to the fact that Boris Johnson will occupy the house behind you by this evening. Well im not sure Boris Johnson himself would agree with that statement from Trump Supporters here in britain. Of Boris Johnson extatic they are saying he brings the right optimism and energy to the to the jobs to finally move the country out of the standstill his critics on the other hand saying that hes unfocused unfit for the office of Prime Minister and i think this overall reflects the opinions in society that are very polarized on the one hand people are saying well there is a Prime Minister now that will finally see through after months and months of standstill under to resume may and on the other hand we have those that are saying Boris Johnson a clown will now move into number 10 downing street and he will drag this country into a business so Boris Johnson once he is here in number 10 downing street this afternoon he will have a very tough job at hand and he will have to somehow try to reunite and unite this country and his own tory party where there is a lot of criticism coming from within now the outgoing Prime Minister today is the mayor will address the British Parliament shortly what happens then. Well theresa may is saying her farewells impala monday as we speak she just laughs number 10 just a few minutes ago she will then have this afternoon to the queen to hand in her official resignation the queen as the constitutional head of state so this is part of the tradition of the transition of power here shortly afterwards basically theresa may and Boris Johnson will shake hands there and Boris Johnson will and to meet the queen to be then officially appointed the new Prime Minister and he will then move into number 10 this handover transition its a pretty quick turnaround 50 percent of those employees that are working behind me are staying on and they will prepare for this transition and once Boris Johnson is in downing street we can expect major cabinet announcements later on tonight and were expecting from what were hearing that he will appoint a Record Number of females and a Record NumberRecord Number of ethnic minorities to his new cabinet so quite. An exciting and interesting night coming up here at downing street right charlotte standing in front of 10 downing street lots of action thank you very much for your reporting from there and of course this is also going to be a busy day for you well keep in touch with you. Joining me in the studio i have a good excuse me hes done for the irish times welcome to you know there was a lot of skepticism about Boris Johnson says he was a journalist and also when he was a foreign minister but now that hes going to become Prime Minister i believe be viewed differently do you think. You cant really leave your past the door tinier i think barrs jones is probably quite proud as being props the most notorious Foreign Correspondent you ever served in brussels i mean back in the ninetys he was sort of peddling fake news before it was in fashion and people in brussels havent forgotten that as foreign minister he was he was also writing in the Daily Telegraph and he was saying you know napoleon and hitler try to unite europe a tragic results and the European Unions attempt to do this by different means so that sickness craw and particularly in a country like germany and now the European Commission has a german head so all of these you know its all very well for you to play sort of dads army back in britain but when youre in brussels that really sticks in peoples crawls but theyve all said look we have to work with them we will work with them it just depends on what he thinks he can get done because they said the occupant of number 10 is changed the whats on the table has been well what can he do differently that to activities that made the former Prime Minister now wasnt able to achieve well i think we saw those in the clips from yesterday i mean hes hes very much a different style language style hes very much of the bombast he believes and hes a very good speaker and you might argue about what he says but he says it quite effectively so you know with the Sleeping Giant and so on set up plays very well at home but when he goes to brussels you realise that you know its recently i lived up to reputation in brussels being a bloody difficult woman she inherited a bloody difficult situation he will find you know everything that she created the problem over the Customs Union do we really want to complete out of the e. U. She called a general election which is crazy given him a minority government and shes taught herself of the knots of various votes so he inherits all of this mess which she inherited from her predecessor and so the reality really hasnt changed whether a change in tone whether much hed be. Details person or more like the layer mare of london where he had very effective deputies but were still waiting he will finally have to come out with what is it you want and how do you propose to achieve it this is a riddle ive sat in the studio many times thats always been the issue how do you approach propose to achieve what you want and thats where i think embarrassed johns will eventually you know he will have to be shown up for what he has or what he doesnt have the one thing that hes prepared to do which to me is that me was not that hes prepared to do a new deal braggs it now everyone says it could have catastrophic consequences for britain but also for europe to some extent yes i mean hes very much good driving down to the wire october 31st halloween i mean he said on the one hand hes not aiming for no deal on the other hand he says you know do or die which is sort of real war time boys comic talk and so on so hes going down to the wire those people in our own drum from another countries are saying this is a bit like somebody saying do what i want to run going to set myself on fire so you know its going to be a battle of wills its going to be a very interesting september because we are down to the wire now there might be there is been talk of another extension but again why do you want to extension what we use it for but you know bars is going to have a very short brief apprenticeship because theres theres no time for playing around anymore and this is yet another Prime Minister brussels has been sitting around waiting and particularly for people in our and very nervous and what exactly is talking about is not the biggest sticking points and in these discussions about the discussions was the hot border between island and Northern Ireland and the socalled backstop solution do you know what his views on this are now if we have the a part of the 5 he doesnt want us but what he wants an alternative we dont want what we have seen in brussels and in berlin even last week and america was saying why dont we work on the future why dont we sort of flesh out what a future trade it would look like because the more secure and the more attractive we make the future look for britain perhaps a less paranoid they will be about the backstop they are they are worried about being in a sort of a political limbo not in that the not in the e. U. But not out of the you to. Calls to do their own free trade agreements so thats she says thats completely understandable why dont we give more detail and maybe if we talk about the future we can sort out the problem in the present which is this backstop insurance policy for Northern Ireland right he did excuse me a few times here in berlin to talk to you telling of the United States where for most special counsel Robert Muller is due to appear before 2 separate Congress Committees today hell spend 5 questions about his investigation which looks into why the president s campaign colluded with russia during the 2016 election but mana is famously a man of few words and its unclear what the Committee Members will find out anything new. This summers biggest blockbuster might not be coming to a theater near you but the Committee Rooms on capitol hill Robert Muller is to testify before the house judiciary and intelligence committees republicans want to shut the door on the investigation democrats who control the hearings hope new details of Donald Trumps conduct could lead to impeachment or hurt his reelection efforts to force the congress to respond to the crimes why and other wrongdoing of president no one not even the president is above the law mother a former f. B. I. Director was in charge of the most extensive and most watched special investigation involving a u. S. President since watergate brought down Richard Nixon 40 years ago. The 2 volume nearly 500. 00 page report was completed in march or adapted version was made public in april it showed substantial evidence of russian meddling in the us election 34. 00 people were indicted and several convicted including some close to trump and his Campaign Administration and private life there the facts end and the spin begins the investigation did not establish a conclusive link between the Trump Campaign and foreign interference im having. No collusion no obstruction well not quite in a may press conference muller made his only Public Comments about the investigation they threw a lot of gray into trumps preferred black and white take. If we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime we would have said so we did not however make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime the constitution empowers congress to do it Justice Department policy blocks charge try and remove a president from Office Democrats remain split over impeachment muller has said his verbal testimony today will go no further than the written report so like any big blockbuster the hearings could be this summer smash hit or a total flop.
