birds with one stone. jenny hill in berlin can take up the story. if you listened to angela merkel addressing mps in the german parliament this morning you got the sense of the german chancellor was preparing to do battle. she was doing a couple of things. first of all, she was playing to a home crowd, she has an election later this year and she knows that were many germans are concerned about donald trump‘s administration, that boosts her own domestic ratings. but she is also very keen to use this opportunity, particularly in the light of brexit to bring the european project together. today she invited a number of european leaders from the g 22 berlin. she was outlining her plans for g20. she said she would be talking about how to tackle climate change, terrorism, health care, economic growth worldwide, tackling the causes of migration and so on. in reality she was trying to rally the troops. she is very keen to put on the united front when she sits around the table at the g20 summit and faces donald trump across the table next weekend. and we will be live with you from hamburg
