And relief for families in cameroon dozens of kidnapped. Children have
been freed by their captors well get the latest from our correspondent in west africa. With. Ive. A lover rock great to have you along with us the time has turned in the u. S. Politics where voters turned out in Record Numbers to end the republican partys control of the u. S. Federal government in the First Nationwide vote since president Donald Trumps election two years ago democrats have taken back the House Of Representatives but its not quite the blue wave that they had hoped for republicans have actually expanded their majority in the senate and defeated strong democratic challengers in some key State Governor races all tump is due to give his reaction the very soon and well have full live Coverage Later this hour as and when it happens but first lets take a look at the numbers for you heres where things stand in the House Of Representatives
two hundred eighty seats are needed to take control and as you can see here democrats have already surpassed that goal with some races still needing to be called and heres how the senate is looking at the later shading there represents the seats that were not up for election and on top of that the nights results republicans now at fifty one seats which means they have defended their majority there. Well lets see who stays or voting was a characterized by high turnout in districts across the country it was billed as the most important Midterm Election in a generation where both sides democrats and republicans energized to cast ballots in support of their candidate. Was it may not have been a blue wave but democrats have sent a message to washington was when nafta when in metropolitan and suburban america
has left the party in control of the House Of RepresentativesJubilant Democrat leaders said they will reign in the polarizing president. Thanks a million tomorrow will be a new day in america i was. Here it is feeling now the power to win was. Is already in their chemical acts of republicans its of their restoring the constitutions checks and balances to the companies i was. Was but it didnt all go to democrats way from tennessee to Texas Republicans won increasing their control of the senate. One time president ial hopeful ted cruz was among those fending off
challenges. To less taxes was the president held the results in a tweet calling them a tremendous success. Then there was the changing face of u. S. Politics the Record Number of women elected twenty one year old alexandria. Becomes the youngest woman ever sent to congress dave holland in new mexico was one of two Native Americans to win election show reached david a lesbian was the other. And how on earth moment only meanwhile two woman rasheeda to leave and omar broke the mold in their campaigns. The first woman of color to represent i stayed in congress. The phantom. Limb implementing the commitment. The first two refugee everything i like to tell congress. The Bigger Picture though is a fresh gridlock in washington music to the ears of democrats maybe but a headache for trump. All right now President Trump is already trying to head off challenges he could face as a result of the lure of losing control of the House Of Representatives democrats now have the power to open investigations into the president s alleged wrongdoings well earlier he tweeted if The Democrats think they are going to waste Taxpayer Money investigating us at the house level then we will like why is the force to consider investigating them for all of the leaks of Classified Information and much else at the senate level two can play that game well so the scene is already set for some fiery months ahead of us find out where things stand right now that
everyone has had time to digest the news of the outcome of these Midterm Elections outside the white house is our Washington Bureau chief alexander out fun unama and what a night what a day ill xander lets pick up where our Previous Report left off with this realigned congress how likely is it that democrats will wash investigations into a President Trump. Well i think with certainly should expect that The Democrats have to come pain on the promise of folks. Adding a stronger check of the president and his administration and now after taking over the House Of Representatives and a ray of important committees will be churched by The Democrats intelligence judiciary foreign first means and ways and we can expect them to for example request tax returns to launch investigations into hes passed
into his Family Business and into his administration so you see layla i think that the democratic majority will not only make it harder for trump to achieve his legislation ambitions about it also will also probably unleash a new legal and political challenges for this administration now on twitter Alexander Temper is selling a president trying to sell in the Election Results as a victory does he have a point or is he just trying to put on a brave face. He was campaigning was very busy and that is what we can say here traveling across the country and it seemed that he was successful to some extent to mobilize hes base when we look at the picture in the senate and the senate is very important for president because
the senate can get his nomination for third of all judges approved confirmed and the senate will then approve potential new member of his cabinet if the president will choose to reshape his cabinet so the senate is important however of course the president cannot deny that there is a major power shift in washington but he is not a president he would take blame for anything and some experts here even say that he may at the moment not real. Allies whats in pick all of this will have on his presidency. Now. Or in conclusion with republicans losing their House MajorityPresident Trump is likely to face checks and balances as youve just been reporting possibly also on his more controversial foreign policies can we expect realistically any substantial shift may be hitting the reset button on some
bruised bilateral relations. Well that of course we have to see what we can say is that the president the u. S. President has a Great Authority in determining the u. S. Foreign policy but the congress and the House Of Representatives has to rein in just two examples for example trump the plan to build the border wall at the border to mexico its not very likely that he is getting the money needed for that now or trade issues congress can rein in and try to prevent new trade wars or new sanctions or tariffs on our Phenomena Reporting from washington just right outside the white house thank you. Art want to welcome now to the program Aereo Hill Davis she is the director of policy at the republican
women for progress which is a Grassroots Policy Organization providing republican women with opportunities to engage in American Politics and civic dialogue so great of you to make some time for us this has been a barrier shattering midterm for women however republican women voted do we know. Yes well i mean i think a lot has been made in twenty teen about it being the year of the woman something that our group has been really focused on is the fact that what gets lost in that is the republican women although i think leading up into the actual Election Night a lot was being made about the voting bloc educated suburban white women who maybe had voted for trump but now are looking for Something Different because theyre just pleased with with the way things are going in this country i think its hard to deny the power of the female voter in this when you look at a lot of the seats that they were able to flip to be a democrat in the house
a lot of those were reliant on suburban women voters particularly our group was involved in eight different races and eleven eight that one female moderate candidates and were happy that we were able to give voice to some republican women who were going to vote for those women and so i think moving forward theyre going to continue to grow as a bloc. But this brings me to my next question republican female voters stick with the president. I think its a little too early to parse all of the data that came out of last nights elections i think certainly when you look at the big shifts though you are seeing that the republicans and particularly the president doubled down on white predominantly male rural voters whereas The Democrats really were focused on suburban female voters as well as minority voters and i think thats why youre seeing such a large split and how the votes came out that the house for The Democrats went
almost entirely for the suburban voters and the republicans were able to hold the senate largely based off those white male rural voters. Areal hill davis director of policy at the republican women for progress thank you. Thank you so much. Now the u. S. President is about to speak or sometime soon about the Election Results in washington and well have a full live coverage when when and if that happens but first lets turn now to some of the other news of making headlines today. He is one of the worlds most famous aviators baton peak i gained International Fame back in one Nine Hundred Ninety nine when he was the first to fly around the World Without stopping in a Hot Air Balloon while years later he took another historic journey this time as a pilot of the First Solar Powered airplane trip around the globe it took five hundred days because aim was to draw attention to the potential of renewable
energies to replace fossil fuels well now he is touring europe to meet fellow pioneers developing technologies that could reform how we use energy and im very happy to announce that is here with me in person good of you to be here great to meet you youre on the hunt of brilliant new ideas to save the world we need more people like you what have you found to be so promising so far first i found that people are fed up of problems and they need solutions and Solutions Exist today with the existing solutions you can already divide by two this year with two emissions just by being more in the g fissions with these solutions very often done that no one there in stealth ups their own Research Labs and sometimes it would be corporations but people dont know them so it is still allowed to pollute the Route Regulation is very outdated and its not pulling these innovations to the market so
my goal is really to show that the Paradigm Shift today is the following protection of the environment has become profitable the solutions to protect environment and fight Climate Change a creating jobs. Bringing profit it is stimulating growth but its a clean growth its a growth a consistent. Re placing all the old dirty and polluting and inefficient technologies by new modern technologies and this is for the advantage of everybody not only for the environment also for the economy so i are you saying that you will be able in the near future to implement some of these ideas that you just outlined absolutely and the these ideas are not mine they are ideas of start ups and what we are doing is to collect them select them and assess them and through the Evaluation Process we put the label its the Solar Impulse efficient solution label that guarantees the profitability of these solutions so we can speak the language of the
people we want to convince we could we can go to see President Trump and say if you want to make America Great again here is a way to create jobs and make profits and growth for the industry by the way it also protects the environments that some people on that interested by thats right now lets talk about Solar Impulse your plan was in effect a huge billboard for a solar panel how do you think this kind of thing helps. It helps to shoulder thats Clean Technologies and Renewable Energy is a fashionable that theyre profitable and that they allow to achieve the impossible because so often we are prisoners of old ways of thinking and we have to change the paradigms today if we wont say for the better quality of life for all we have to shift to Renewable Energies we have to shift to Energy Efficiency we have to protect the environment and we have to show that this is the new adventure for the
twenty First Century its not anymore about conquering New Territories its about improving quality of life and we can do it now fortunately now we have the solution i dont want to rain on your Parade Produce think really in the foreseeable future we could see that technology being used in Commercial Aviation yes absolutely in the seven years and nine mons we will have electric airplanes transporting fifty people again i can be so precise because two years and three months ago i said in ten years so the shadow of a poser to what if were still around are if i want to talk about your trip around the world and talk to some of it about that did you get a rush out of me five hundred days thats a long time because you know what was fascinating was to fly in there a plane that makes no noise makes no pollution has no fuel so when you were flying across oceans it was several days and several nights in a row you know five days for the pacific three days for the atlantic and you i
discussed it and you think i mean the future its Science Fiction and then you realise that its not Science Fiction its the reality of what the technologies of today allow us to do today and then you understand how much the rest of the world is in the past with Old Inefficient and polluting technologies and then you hit on the table and say i want to do something against that. Kathy thank you so much sir for coming to see if we figure thank you for they need asian. Are now after the us im. Term oh elections of course investors are bracing for a period of gridlock and then has all on that oh yeah theres a little bit of on the right now of the markets mixed reaction when you look across European Indices today economists believe President Trump may not be able to cut taxes further but it also means that this current tax cuts compu roll back i believe the gridlock in washington will keep a check on some of trumps more Disruptive Market measures like the trade war with
china some point out that the u. S. Economy often performs well when control of congress is split between republicans and democrats. We asked the head of the American Chamber of commerce in germany frank sport allowed what the Election Results mean for german american trite. We on the one hand have to fear that The Democrats and republicans will not be able to Work Together at all that would mean no legislation of any type being passed we also have to be a little bit concerned that The Democrats might use some of the control they gain in the house to launch a lot of investigations which maybe may have merit in some way but which certainly would distract the country from what it needs to do. On the other hand President Trump has shown that he is willing and able to use his Executive Authority to do things basically the Trade Actions that hes doing are based for the most part on Executive Authority so i dont see least not initially a major shift in the Trade Situation unfortunately by the way lets get
the word from god i believe in our financial correspondent in frankfurt the head of the American Chamber of commerce in germany theyre selling very skeptical about the political gridlock in u. S. Politics the Market Reaction though at least here in germany has been quite upbeat. Absolutely ben and believe it or not there are people on the markets who love political gridlock at least thats according to a couple of apple is reports which came out today and let me quote one its by Aaron Anderson of Fisher Investments he writes it will be nearly impossible to pass anything remotely controversial that will drive many people on the markets crazy but markets love it we should now have a long stretch where political risks go away down which should be good for stocks now thats of course only one voice but of course this positive reaction on the markets here in frankfurt also has to do with hopes for the u. S. Economy The Democrats in the house will likely not do anything in order to muffle or slow down the economy in the u. S. On the contrary its likely that they will sort of try to cooperate even with the administration for example with an Infrastructure Bill not a huge one like donald trump had promised but at least something to keep the economy in the u. S. Going and of course the labor market too while were talking about the u. S. Economy what about Something Like state deads that has never really seem to be top of the agenda for any president. Thats true but people here are convinced that political gridlock is also a positive in terms of american debt it means more checks and balances the u. S. President donald trump will not be able in future to increase that to spend to increase the Budget Deficit as recklessly as he has done during the first two years
of his presidency ok interesting stuff conor posing for us thank you very much. The German Council of Economic Experts predicts the National Economy to grow by only one point six percent this year as down from a previous estimate of two point three they say the government has a number of problems to address aging population the report suggests increasing the Retirement Age and lowering taxes the council also urges the government to take precautions against the ongoing trade war germany relies heavily on exports putting it in a precarious position. Airbus and boeing have called for an end to the u. S. China trade dispute executives of the Worlds Largest plane makers and bitter rivals made the announcement at an air show in china the country has become a key Hunting Ground for a Craft Benefactors looking to expand their business because of the surge in air travel thats accompanies a wide that the ongoing trade conflicts could derail borders from china passenger
aircraft why chinas biggest imports from both the u. S. And europe conflict could push beijing to look for alternative options. I love thank you so much been greatly appreciated now one americas closest allies excuse me has officially launched her campaign to lead the chancellors conservative c. D. U. Party america announced last week that she was stepping down from the job as party leader and whoever succeeds her will be well positioned to become germanys next chancellor on a grand crown Current Power also known as a k k is seen as the most centrist of the three main candidates vying for the role. She is. Anointed successor and it was the childrens lives legacy that on the great crime carabao up on that first in her speech used as those in the. This is the end of an era in which there are many personal relationships as many personal experiences that i
connect with angela merkel. But this is also the end of an era that has changed and shaped the c. P. U. In a very special and lasting way. Come about was State Premier of zala and before im going to mack who brought her to belin as Secretary General of the c. D. U. In that position crum carabao has effectively been macos right hand woman but with many in the party disillusioned with merkel and her governing coalition a challenge will be to step out of merkels shadow and shop and her own profile. Today she said it was time to open a new chapter. Yet she refused to criticize the chancellors controversial Immigration Policy saying the challenge now is to find solutions and. When somebody knocks on our door and we take the men and give them protection if
they then abuse that protection to commit crimes here how should we deal with that and those are the questions that people expect answers to but they dont text back to us to discuss three years later whether what happened in Two Thousand And Fifteen was right or wrong. Mexicos Refugee Policy has come under heavy criticism not least from one of crime carbos contenders for the party leadership. On who currently serves as Health Minister and her cabinet met with c. D. U. Members in north rhinewestphalia and shes day along with metz who is also standing both the seen as more conservative than the chancellor and have vowed to move the c. D. U. Further to the right the new leader will be elected at a Party Conference almost seventh of december. Now the decision by Uncle Americal to step down as City You Leader was has upped the pressure on her controversial
bavarian ally or say offer to follow suit but today is a hoffer dismissed newspaper reports predicting his resignation calling them a red herring earlier his spokesman said say hoffer has yet to make a decision on his future calls for the c. S. U. Leader to resign have grown louder since his partys poor showing in bavarian elections last month. In cameroon seventy nine boarding School Students who were kidnapped by separatists have been released reports say the kidnappers are Still Holding three adult hostages from the school the children aged between eleven and seventeen were seized were kidnapped early Monday Morning and amend the capital of the Northwest Region no single group says it carried out the abduction but separatist militias have been calling for a school boycott. Well
earlier we spoke with our west africa correspondent increase in Lagos Nigeria he was recently in cameroon to cover the president ial elections there and he told us how schoolchildren have become targets in the regional separatist conflict and im just being told that we do have aid increase in person live great to see you adrian. Our west africa correspondent of course that has been following this story very closely adrian the children are thankfully free and now whats happening. Well the local governor was talking to journalists today a local journalist and and he said that the children were reunited with their families and that theyre related leave fine that theyre doing relatedly well and
what is quite interesting we also said theyre going straight back to school right now theyre going back to their Boarding School and this is a shop contrast to what weve heard from some of the parents yesterday they actually said that once the kids are back they do not want them to go back to school because they see that other danger right now adrian do we know who kidnapped them. I know right now were not sure what was behind its looks obvious that it was a separatist but theres about ten separate groups Separatist Groups active in this region and none of them has claimed responsibility to what has happened many of them have in fact condemned the kidnapping so theres a lot of speculation still going on and cameroon some people even claim it could be that the government that was behind all this so they could justify the force they used against separatists remember the military in cameroon has been criticized heavily in the past for their Human Rights Abuses but this is all speculation and is very difficult to find out the truth because this part of cameroon is not
a part where to National Observers or journalists can just travel to theres a lot of restrictions from the side of the government and local journalists also cant report freely under a regime that is highly repressive and that has a president who has been in power for more than thirty six years now unfortunately this is not the first time this school where students have been abducted why have they become the target of choice. So most of the schools in the region have been closed for two years because of the pressure of Separatist Group they have two reasons one they want to present the government to get on the Negotiation Table and the second reason they say is that they dont want the kids to grow up under the french language system on the French School system and that is why they dont want the kids to go to school they force the parents to boycott the schools and that is basically the reason why for two years now most of the kids in this entire area are not going to school which is of course
a terrible situation. All right now president paul will be have was inaugurated say yesterday for a seventh term i just have twenty seconds left what does this mean for the cameras the English Speaking region. Well we are probably not calling for dialogue this is what the Catholic Church and many observers of been asking for but it is not likely that he will change the strategy he said in his Inauguration Speech or ever that hes open for more decentralization this is what a lot of people are calling for but most people do not believe that anything will change anytime soon in this region all right aid you increase reporting there thank you so very much. All right lets return now to our top story the u. S. The Midterm Elections you are watching live pictures but there are no life pictures because were still awaiting a for them President Donald Trump is expected to make his for and there they are
