What's fuelling divisions within Germay's governing CDU party?I Inside Story

Angela Merkel has governed Germany for almost 15 years,
But the Chancellor isn't willing to stay for much longer - saying she won't run for reelection in 2021.
The question over who will succeed her is again challenging the CDU.
Its leader Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer was supposed to run for the job, but has announced she's stepping aside.
That came after CDU members voted alongside the far-right AfD party in a regional election.
The shock move has raised questions over divisions within the party and its impact on Germany's politics.
