Was also the ruling partys candidate for the president ial election coming up in october and his death throws that race into disarray the cause of death has not yet been released but he had just returned from 2 months of medical treatment in france well bring you more details as they come in. Here in europe german chancellor Angela Merkel has called on the European Union. To emerge stronger from its greatest challenge the coronavirus. Holds today to mark the beginning of germanys 6 month presidency of the European Council with the European Union in crisis. Masks hand gestures and rather awkward head nodding have taken the place of handshakes german chancellor Angela Merkels 1st trip abroad since the corona Virus Outbreak was marked by new pandemic etiquette as you have confronts an unprecedented threat are already over 100000 european lives have been lost to the virus and alongside growing debt and unemployment the continent to seeing a marked rise in populism. When this in for the pandemic cant be fought with lies and dissent from ation beneath even nor with hatred and agitation in fact denying populism is being shown its limits ive used up the top priority of the german presidency is to ensure that europe emerges from the crisis united by just short term stabilisation of europe will not be enough we also want to europe that offers hope in a while but us hope. America supports the e. U. Commissions proposed joint Recovery Fund of 750000000000 euros to provide financial help especially to the southern European Countries that have been hardest hit the Commission President formally the longest serving member of merkels cabinet feels that such radical steps are necessary we have entered the worst recession since almost 100 years but she faces opposition from the frugal for austria denmark the netherlands and sweden they are reluctant to give away money without Strings Attached merkel insisted that a compromise was necessary and sooner rather than later like the mines on a serious. Its our common goal is to find an agreement as soon as possible because its depths of the canonic slump urges us to hurry there is no time to lose otherwise the weakest will suffer. I very much hope that we can reach an agreement this summer in the long and the negotiations beginning in the coming weeks will determine the Economic Future of europe. I would joining me now from brussels is our correspondent barbara vessel good evening to you barbara european leaders they have been calling for Greater Unity among Member States for as long as you and i can remember can the german chancellor can she conjure up that marigold magic that we have seen in action before. At least shes given her about something we know referee know her style when she talks and when im glad america does passion and i believe in europe afterwards what we move to say is nice try however in this on this at this point in time whats on her side is necessity it is the absolute urgent necessity to do something everybody realizes that in the depths of the recession that the European Union is sliding into at the moment they just have to come up with condom measures so the question is not if how money is going to distributed and this is what the big fight is going to be about america is the most experienced of all the heads of state and government in the European Union she knows a lot of the people there personally and she knows how to deal with them and so it is europes best chance that she just paxton is now heading the presidency and she will give her very best to sort of get to that compromise that we heard her asking for sometimes you need luck to have success what about this recovery for europe what do you see is the biggest impediments to that becoming a reality. The biggest obstacle is that this is some sort of cultural war because northern countries the socalled frugal forward in brussels. Also called this stingy for. The south because the northern people say why are we supposed to give away our good money to those southerners who havent really gotten their house in order when the time was good when the sun was shining they should have done reforms years ago they should have saved money they shouldnt have those huge mountains of debt that italy is sitting on for instance and so they because they they fear for their electoral basis they say basically ok were ready to give the loans but were not ready to give money away as grants that is more or less what the big fight turns around but its much more complicated than that of course as usual because the next european budget is also sort of thrown into the mix and then this this battle about who gets what and how much of of which sort of pot of money and will there be grants and at all will there only be loans and so on and so forth that is such a mix of difficult difficult conditions that im going to mecca will really have to do her best to sort of sort this out how does she do this she sort of gives us a good reason sweeties to some she threatens other she made the sword and she uses just the whole instrument area im off a political leader with a lot of experiences in long nights in brussels in order to get to the point where everybody will say yes exhausted and sort of going help what is on her side is that she can do this for longer than anybody else 3 oclock in the morning 5 oclock in the morning shes still up there everybody dead tired and then thats the point where they might finally give in thats part of the miracle magic i suppose.
