united is germany. well i think germany is still an away. not really united and. it hasn't really been different in all those years after the reunification it's just that all of a sudden it seems to come out like like we see it because there is this party if. all of a sudden you see. most of the voters. come from east germany and most of them are men. should talk about that when you say. it just comes out suddenly there why is it there no good because you know people have the feeling that they like that they can speak out what's a maybe have thought for a long time their disappointment their anger about things that happened to them. in all those years after they're in if cation so i guess a lot of people feel that i belong to that united germany to that germany that is very successful in the world before i bring in wojciech and judy let's just listen to what germany's president. had to say there reunification celebrations earlier this week. the great wall across our country is gone. but on this september twenty fourth it became clear that there were other wallace

that is all great for germany, but it is causing a few problems for germany's neighbor, france. >> germany, as seen from the french region of alsace. french family business velum, which makes lighting technology and is based in bischofsheim, wants to conquer the german market. so far, it's been exporting only a handful of its products to german businesses, restaurants and industrial factories. now, velum boss anne vetter wants to double her company's exports to germany to a volume of 4 million euros. but for that, the company also needs change its image. >> a german company boss told me he was surprised france makes such high-quality products. it hurt to hear that. because it's unfair. we french must prove that our products are better or at least as good as those made in germany. >> vetter is proud of her innovative business concept customers can choose the shape , and colour of lighting to suit their specific wishes. velum engineers then calculate which color temperature and intensity is best suited to a particular space. >> up there, we've installed lighting rails. they don't emit a hars

germany? germany isthink still, in a way, not really united. and it hasn't really been different in all those years, the reunification. it's just that all of a sudden, it seems to come out, like we see it, because there is this party, afd, and all of a sudden, you see the voters, you know, east germany and most are men. about. to talk it just comes out, it's suddenly there. now?s it there >> because, you know, people have the feeling that -- like that they can speak out what they maybe have thought for a long time. their disappointment, their anger about, you know, things to them in all those years after the reunification. i guess a lot of people feel that they don't belong to that, know, united germany, to is verymany that successful in the world. >> before i bring in wojciech to judy, let's just listen what germany's president, frank-walter steinmeier, had to stay at the reunification celebrations earlier this week. >> the great wall across our is gone. 24, it becameer clear that there were

germany suggests an indifferent attitude to referendums, does that never resonate in germany? it does but more on a local or regional level, but because it is a federal system, we have something like a popular vote on issues like closing down the station, for example, there has been referendums in the past, like in stuttgart there was a big thing about a station being built. but there is generally a trust in the parliament, which is out of german history. hitler used referendums and plebiscites as a way to stir up nazis and exploits the results. yes, this is a functioning democratic system and gradually the parliament is in charge of taking these complex decisions and as we have seen the brexit, for example, such a complex historic question putting down to 50—50, to a nation, that actually, if it is true that the day after the referendum, the most googled word was european union, it might be doubtful whether it is a good idea to hold a referendum! this idea that parliament can decide, some decisions are so fundamental that they must be left to people to make them, because ot

germany obviously has a larger responsibility before the e.u. so let me ask my question again do you think germany with this new renewed mandate that angela merkel seems to have gotten for the new term as chancellor do you think she can address the problems of the european union and namely. preserving the unity but also addressing these structural. balances death threats and that unity in the liberals. very critical of president marcos. aims and it depends whether america manages in the negotiations with the liberal. to get them to agree to you know a program to strengthen europe again along the lines suggested by mark quote my next question may may come across as disagreeable to you and perhaps even biased but many here in russia believe that the ukrainian crisis was essentially an out the grohl of the policy of building greater europe a europe god was conceptually exclusive off russia but tried to pull in. other former communist states not to perhaps as members but but as associates as it was in the case of ukraine do you think there is still

across germany, half a million people apply for asylum in 2015. in gera, a small army of volunteers fills local community centres to welcome them. the arrival even spawned studies. local academic anna stegmann is looking at their impact here. being a former gdr state, federal state, they are not experienced at all with any kind of lifestyle or ethnic adversity before 2012, i would say. proportion of migrants is still below 3%, and this is not what it's like in the west german cities, for example. since they don't have any knowledge about them, they are quite easy to be manipulated by the extremist parties. do you think there's a problem with racism in a town like this? yes, there's a problem with racism all over germany, and it's increasing. it was never away and it grew and grew. watching as these huge changes unfold are the heinz family, mum daniela, dad dirk, who's lived his whole life in gera, baby pierre, sofia and tarina. and, on a trip to the city centre, dirk and daniela find refugees are already a key political issue in gera. vying for th

what this will mean for germany's policy towards migrants is still unclear. for the very latest on the story let's cross over now to our political correspondent thomas sparrow thomas chancellor machall has said time and time again that she's against any limit two hundred thousand has been the magical number there is she now backing down. brian in a way she is backing down in particular after this agreement that was reached yesterday it's seen as a concession to the sister party the c. as you head of the very difficult coalition talks but very important for. two it's one if you look at the wording of the agreement it clearly state that it's a it's a goal that they want to reach and second it is a goal that they want to reach that is absolutely not set in stone in other words depending on the national all the international context that limits could be moved up or down and also for going to merkel something very important is the agreement does not include the german word or back then that's the upper limit for the number of refugees and this is the word that has

his case is further straining relations between germany and turkey with germany's foreign minister calling the accusations in comprehensible. on july fifth peter storrie dinner was among ten human rights activists detained by turkish police on the island of beauty off the coast of his done bull the expert was taking part in a workshop run by amnesty international one topic was how to protect sensitive data from the authorities for turkish prosecutors a reason to charge the activists with belonging to and aiding terrorist groups. the evidence being put forward against our clients is not evidence that can lead to an arrest it's completely illegal and unlawful not just in regard to the european human rights convention but also in regard to the turkish constitution. the indictment comes shortly after turkish foreign minister moved to told german news site spiegel online that he had asked the turkish justice and interior ministers to speed up the legal process german foreign ministers ignore gabriele called the charges a matter of great concern he said the demand for up to fifteen years in jail

this past week and the question is how united is germany or disunited is germany. well i think germany is still an away. not really united and. it hasn't really been different in all those years after the reunification it's just that all of a sudden it seems to come out like like we see it because there is this party f.t. and all of a sudden you see. most of the war voters. come from east germany and most of them are man. should talk about that when you say it can't it just comes out it's suddenly there why is it there now. because you know people have the feeling that they like that they can speak out loud say maybe have thought for a long time their disappointment their anger about things that happened to them. in all those years after their unification so i guess a lot of people feel that i belong to that united germany to that germany that is very successful in the world. before i bring in wojciech and judy let's just listen to what germany's president. had to say there reunification celebrations earlier this week. the great wall across our country is gone. tha

germany has of course a very different view to referendums. does that let the people decide question never resonated 7 no, of course it does but it does more on a local and regional level so because it is a federal system you do have something slightly different, like a referendum but more a popular vote on things like opening or closing down a station or... there have been quite vivid referendums, people's votes in the past, in stuttgart there was a big political thing about a new station being built or not, but in general there is a trust in the parliament which is out of german history,... because hitler used to hhold referendums or plebiscites, perceived as a way of kind of stirring up masses and then exploiting the politics. so the trust is actually there that this is a functioning democratic system that actually be parliament is in charge of, taking very compact decision and as we have seen with brexit for example, such a complex historic question, going down to 50—50 to a nation, it is anecdotal but if it is true that the day after th
