Germany's next Chancellor fights it out on TV

German television ARD is screening a 90 minute debate this evening between Chancellor Angela Merkel and SPD Chancellor candidate Peer Steinbrück.

Merkel and Steinbrück are being interviewed by four moderators.

Merkel was the discovery of Helmut Kohl. The Wall was hardly down when he made her his Family Minister.

Steinbrück was Finance Minister in the Grand Coalition and plays chess with Helmut Schmidt.

The Federal elections take place on Sunday, September 22. Current polls show the CDU/CSU coalition in the lead.
