Angela Merkel talks to Anne Will

German Chancellor Angela Merkel gave an hour-long interview to Anne Will on ARD, Germany's public broadcaster, last evening.

It was in many ways a stellar performance. Clearly the woman is a brilliant communicator.

She was diplomatic but firm on President Donald Trump, sees a need to keep talking with President Vladimir Putin.

The Chancellor cited the difficulties with Trump and Putin as reasons why Europe needs to work closer and better together.

In speaking about the alleged murder in Germany of a young girl by a 20-year-old from Irak, who had been refused permanent residence, she expressed in sympathetic terms the tragedy it was for the family.

The Chancellor came across as a caring person, the wise woman who lives next door and looks out for her neighbour in a quiet and discreet way.

A super intelligent woman, who happens to be German Chancellor.
