Polls open in Germany's election to end Merkel era

Germans began voting Sunday in a watershed national election that will mark the end of 16 years in power for Angela Merkel and determine who will succeed her as chancellor.

Polls opened at 0600 GMT and will close at 1600 GMT, with last surveys showing centre-left Social Democrat (SPD) candidate Olaf Scholz with a razor-thin lead over Armin Laschet of Merkel’s CDU-CSU conservative alliance.

On Internatonal Women’s Day

The mankind will not exist if there is no woman on this planet .Nature gave this power to woman to carry the source of existence.In today’s world even there are lots of awareness and activities to protect the rights of women there are still many evidence of discrimination and abuse for women . Women are still facing difficulties to live a decent and happy life . The physical or gender differences should not matter , what is most important is that we are all human being and Humanity is above all .
