Calls my notice el chapo jailed for life by a court in new york also faces the bill of 12600000000. 00 from the drug from the proceeds of his drugs empire. Im phil gale a welcome to the program the politician many see is germanys next chancellor taking up her 1st job in the federal government on a grad. A. K. K. Or shes widely known it places or should i found Alliance Defense minister and k. K. Leads and going to americas Christian Democrat Party and Many Political commentators think shes being groomed to take over when chancellor merkel steps down in 2021. There are both ways to spend your day as she turned 65 and when 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 america her election as new e. U. Commission president. Later the german chancellor got to lift a 2nd ally to a higher political level by appointing and if they become successors c. D. U. Party leader as a 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. Never forget that men and women that serve and fade 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 a provincial image as the former leader of the small state of the. Now is a cabinet minister come callin bar will have to take orders from the chancellor trading some of her liberties as party leader getting closer to one day perhaps becoming chancellor. Political correspondent saddam and young welcome simon so come back out about his move to defense come as a surprise. A big surprise phil because previously she ruled out taking on a ministerial job she said she didnt want to be in miracles cabinet she wanted to concentrate on her job as leader of the Christian Democrat Party which hes had since the end of last year but the truth is she stumbled a little bit in that role so this gives her new momentum and also what it will give her is some ministerial experience which she hasnt had up until now shes been a interior minister and then leader of the small german state czar land but she hasnt had a National Level cabinet job and she doesnt really need that i think because the playbook sais that she should in time. And especially from the c. D. U. Point of view will be the best placed person to succeed angle americal as chancellor and of course a bit of ministerial experience wont harm her at all in that effort but this is rather a challenging ministerial brief to have to cut your teeth on defense has been a difficult day here in germany what sort of challenges does come carabao face. It is challenging and Ursula Fonda Lyon has not left the Defense Ministry in a particularly Good Condition there are problems for instance with Weapons Systems that need modernising plenty of other equipment doesnt work properly there is a need to recruit germans to the armed forces a lot of them around willing to join theres been money wasted on expensive advisors have plenty of other internal problems and also theres the question of the military budget and a great cram karen bauer is known to support the idea of increasing military spending but of course you have to argue that out with the finance minister and one of the chancellor Angela Merkel shes in her final chancellor does she still carry 3 or 4 or 2 she used to when she said shes not going to stand for chancellor again so shes in her final years but i think its been a good couple of days for the chancellor shes got 2 of her close allies now in the front rank and of course with a lot on the line in brussels. Will be assured of being at the very least heard and understood. At the top level of the European Union and the movement of care of our into the defense job i think is also good for america all because she too is a close ally but it also means that a potential successor is no longer you know scheming in the wings as it were she will now be on stage and being tested so you know moving more women into top jobs was also something that angle america has said she wanted to do she certainly done that over the last 24 hours and i think shes got lots to celebrate today which is her 65th birthday of well. Simon young thank you.
