in east germany out different then they are in this germany because there you have biographies of the population that had a massive rupture with german unification and they nick compete breakdown of the economy in his germany so you have families who after had seen their entire life you would disappear overnight within 6 months and this kind of economic fear is easier to stoke maybe in east germany they missed germany but external for big racist white men views unfortunately fairly well distributed all over germany well let me give mr loss a hand because i do want to ask you sorry about your perceptions of web gemini is going as a member of the muslim community do you feel optimistic about the trajectory of gemini and what's being done by with r t is to to take the country forward as a unified body. germany in that sense since the case was no one as a tolerance or state as it pertains to a state where the living together between different communities in different regions was possible and was. well aware that well done. but in the in the last years in the last months we see we saw that

germany be more open towards well integrated immigrants. right on to you on it because you were saying we shouldn't make this distinction between sensually the skilled on the one hand to contribute to the economy and the others who are often seen as a drag on the economy so what about a young man like he's a contrition today's economy he's a contribution to this country as many that has arrived in the recent years actually parallel to d.c. . it right that enters in march 1st there was another act that also passed the act to allow skilled labor immigration to sectors like health care exactly and there's another one that passed exactly at the same time it actually entered into force i guess in february or something of that which is the temporary suspension of the protégé sion because many like them cases like that existed in germany where they already got a job they were in the process whether protégé shown or they were not you know adding to a refugee status so and so now this act also is going to protect people like that right so i thin

myself in germany it feels like germany says still trying to fight what kind of migrants they want in this country. germany's migration country and you know the mayan bad will be the 9 many a lot of migrants will have made an incredible contribution to this country so for you've been here in germany even longer than i have you know i have a similar impression that this debate just goes on and on with the new leader ations absolutely i think it brings a lot of. tension but maybe it's also a profit for people to discuss this and not to finish. i don't know but in the end i was told to joke i think this is a serious problem because vs have kind of uneasy in this question the basic background of this discussion is in fact the guest worker this does go through of the sixty's of to seventy's and the german society. didn't develop a real positive constructive. to what towards the expanse of work make aeration the mickens have a anonymous positive memory of this time so there's a gap between this negative attitudes among a lot of germans people don't integrate stay for a debate don't communic

later she hopes to study in germany return to namibia. after the interviews in windhoek the team from dusseldorf is excited. to tell you our clinic has decided that we would like to have all of them into sold off. but is everyone. profiting from the migration of skilled workers to germany. exactly the question that i just read this let me ask you this is after a 5 month language course and then off to germany so question would be how well prepared are these young women likely to be for what awaits them here and what will become of them later do you think this country will do better at integrating them than it has many other guest workers but absolutely i also think that this country integrated a lot of focus very well in the end this is a question of psychological discourse if you bought and because if you see all of the best sides of immigration you can have a picture if you see only the good sides you kind of a picture of the differences in the middle i mean you have you have it's great you know you have this dark sides and good sides a

talking about stability of germany itself i'm not convinced that the c.d.u. will place 1st in the coming election it will be interesting in the coming weeks to see how this affects their poll ratings i suspect that it won't help them the greens are doing very well and coming back to your question about women in politics there's still a chance that the next chance there could be a woman because the co-leader of the greens is a woman and might be their candidate for chance or so i think everything is sort of up in the air here at the moment this very very briefly if you would if one of those very conservative candidates were to become the new party leader would angela merkel really serve out her terms or i don't think the new elections i think she would be gone and maybe not new elections right away but i think that she would step down as chancellor before the end of the legislative term which runs until 2021 so a lot hanging in the balance for germany thank you very much to all of you for being with us and thanks to all of you out there for tuning in season. m

have come to germany in recent years should be expelled again should be sent sent outside germany and so on so there is a sense that in some ways it's become politically acceptable to express racist sentiments because this political party base is part of its political success on exactly such statements if you look at how the party representatives reacted to this today. leader of the party on these vital woman simply said well we have to think about the victims and this was a terrible murder crime without giving it any political perspective at all co-leader you say it to regard this as a right wing extremist crime would be incorrect it is simply the attack by somebody who's the range who has lost his mind as it were the fact that he left behind a right wing political statements very very extensive ones he feels should be ignored and then there are pos of the party who. say well responsible for these kinds of things until america with immigration policy and so on we heard from the german chancellor walk us through what she had to say well i took some time to assess the situation obvious

the alternative for germany the f.t. and their reaction has been somewhat more. cagey i think one might say one leader of the party has simply is expressed condolences and talked about the fact that it's terrible that people were killed here the other leader of the party has said to call this a right wing attack is incorrect because he feels that the perpetrator simply was someone who was out of his mind who was the range to and therefore one should not attribute right wing sentiment to him despite the fact that all of these statements videos and so on are available as a testimony to his right wing sentiment there is a political debate on the level of german political parties that i think is starting to get going and it's quite possible that that can turn out to be a little bit more intense than it has been so far and we will see if or how the german chancellor angela merkel addresses that in just a few minutes from now in fact we hear about level. going to be carrying that speech for you indeed live but in the meantime

how great is the danger for germany. i think it's clear that china not only intends to become an economic world power. and of course we are concerned about this development. in the area of digitalisation we have the question of which chinese companies we should allow to build up our infrastructure . i think there's a lot of sensitivity on the european and german side when it comes to dealings with china. in. the u.s. warns of chinese companies like huawei and. they say their technology can be used by beijing for espionage and in fact the chinese government can force companies to take part in espionage operations and sabotage european networks. through the threat in cyberspace is not primarily a classical military threat but it is a threat to our critical infrastructure as we call it it's a threat to everyone in that we're all exposed to hacker attacks without actually knowing where they are coming from if it was consequential and challenging in ways that it's hard for people today to imagine the cold war had a whole host

the far right also makes up the main opposition party in germany at the d. and only this week we had a senior member of that party. refute the number of of deaths in the dresden bombing now this is a question of the number of people who died which has been settled by a commission of historians they decided beyond reasonable doubt after 6 years of examining all the evidence that it was no more than 25000 people now this german politician teano compiler said he had the feeling that it was probably more like a 100000. this is questionable in itself of course with a politician or indeed a journalist myself has the right to have a feeling that it might be a $100000.00 after historians have established after the meticulous scrutiny of the evidence that it was no more than 24000 the number in itself doesn't seem important but the problem is that the far right using these kind of inflationary figures know what very well that they are doing that they themselves may not be sympathizers with neo nazis i would. make that allegation they know very well that that feeds in

this debate is very vexed not just in germany but in other countries in germany however it has a particular resonance to germany's past play in all of this debate. absolutely germany's constitution is a direct result of the horrific dark period of nazi period here in germany where some 200000 disabled people were simply mudded by the nazi regime because they were disabled and that's why the whole term of the euthanasia any kind anything that points toward assistance suicide is particularly sensitive here in germany at the same time to me is one of the few european countries that allows this in the 1st place you know thank you so much to w.'s chief political editor make a ticket. now to champions league football and germany's by munich it produced a superb performance to win 3 nil at chelsea in their last 16 1st leg serge. scored the 1st goal early in the 2nd half he struck again with a fine finish soon afterwards robert lewandowski then put the bundesliga side in complete control. one thing is li lost to chelsea in the 2012 final in munich the 5 times winners are now set to complete their r

and then saying that there is a climate in germany that. really creates conditions where such by lack of violent actions can take place that is also something. called c.d.u. party that i think come come said pretty much and in other words we're also hearing from the green politician who say that they hate speech in society does have effect and that can also mean deadly effects is so the far right if the party is being singled out by the more mainstream parties but also the left as having created a climate where this is more likely to happen the far right if de formally and the parliament has responded saying that this is simply being instrumental ised against . seeing themselves as the victim here so that's where we stand with the political debate that this is bob but is there a debate about whether there this is might be symptomatic of a larger societal problem that this country has well i mean we clearly have seen. a series of events that are not necessarily college connected and they don't look like they're connected right now but they h

the message from germany's president never forget. of 50 year in a long. list and sincere remembrance enables us to see and understand the familiar as well as the unfamiliar it enables us to empathize with the fates of all the victims of war and violence across national borders. steinmeyer reportedly struggles with writing this speech how to balance remembering those killed by the allies while at the same time acknowledging nazi atrocities. and biggest fish when we think back to the history of the bombing was in our country we remember 2 things we remember the suffering of the people in german cities and also the suffering germans inflicted on others. over a period of 3 days british and u.s. planes dropped nearly 4000 tons of explosives on kristen the attacks killed some 25000 people and totally wiped out the city's historic center what happened in dresden has been seized on by the far right to portray germany as a victim. said crimes shouldn't be measured against each other there's a very hard it doggedly certainly i wish to say clearly today anyone who s

auschwitz germany its view. of the world cannot be explained without reference to these experiences i wish i could say that the lessons we germans have learned from history is a lesson that will last forever but i cannot say that and i cannot say that when hatred and hate speech are spreading that's what i said a few days ago and yet. i read. today that the evil spirits of the past are emerging in our country in a new guys as no centric thinking racism anti semitism but this is one small starting to poison the public debate. so we in germany but by no means only in germany are called upon once again women are called upon to defend our elementary understanding of the dignity of the individual and to fight for our open societies. because gov and voice and gentleman to i guess there's another anniversary this year another anniversary of 75 years in autumn 75 years ago the constitutive constituent assembly of the knights united nations was held in san francisco and it's the catastrophe of excessive nationalism mine.

and we must be aware in germany. that this will not happen from a position of weakness of mine from germany however can only gain its strength from a shared community with other. and that's why we need to contribute more on it to this strength so let us not be driven by fear and anxiety and franklin roosevelt with the us president under whom america freed europe the only thing he said at the time. the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. this is true with an eye to the future of our democracy here at home and it is true of our role in europe and the world openly view of the world. through deals developments that are astonishing in encouraging progress in the fight against poverty against hunger and child mortality countries and they're going to transformation such as if he opium societies that are opening up like sudan are speakers on after having been shut off for many years and millions of people in many countries of the word calling for recognition and dignity calling for participation and for opportunities

from germany and put them up here. most people, when they think of the berlin wall, they think of all the graffiti and color and designs on the wall. these are completely plain. that's because they were on the east side, where people were not allowed to graffiti the wall. it would have incurred some pretty severe penalties. one reason why they did not want people drawing on the wall was because having the wall be will completely plain makes it easier for the guard to see people. it made them more visible against plain, like -- light gray or white background. seeing them without graffiti will should remind us of them putting the wall up to keep people in. before the berlin wall was built, several million, 3 million people, crossed the border from east to west. after the berlin wall was put up, people did not stop trying to get out of east germany. about 100,000 people tried to get out and half that number were successful. we have some great stories about people who were successful. to attempt to cross the berlin wall to

because colbert's good to have you with us an important signal for investment in germany that's how germany's main industrial association welcomed a court ruling that gave the go ahead for forest clearing for a new factory for the carmaker tesla the b.v.i. say that hope the decision would set a precedent for other blocked industrial projects in the country environmentalist said softy tree felling in court saying that the public have not been properly consulted the gigafactory site is located just outside of the lynn and will be tesla's 1st year of production is set to begin next year. for i just take a closer look at the story with the fine man from the european school of management and technology in berlin yes you've done extensive research on the mobility and the convergence of energy and transport it is good to have you on the program the announcement that tesla's to set up shop in germany has energized the whole region is considered has been labelled by many as a flagship project as a sort of a beacon project of industrial manufacturing do you agree yes in many aspects so on the one hand

germany is not self-confident. and indeed the governing coalition has been sending out contradictory messages on foreign and security policy what should germany's relationship with russia be a partnership or a stronger rejection of the kremlin's provocations. we discussed this in the defense committee before the parliamentary summer break. we have mains of dialogues. we have points of contact between the boulders vera and the russian military because there are policy talks on a ministerial level and the contacts are there but we also clearly show that we expect the russian side to abide by the mixed accords and assessments cup coming out. in february 2015 the minsk to accords were signed by leaders of ukraine russia france germany and ukrainian separatists the aim was to end armed fighting it failed to hold and in the baltic states there is concern about a possible new ukraine scenario the narrow corridor between poland and lithuania with borders to the highly militarized russian. enclave of kaliningrad and bella r

of the screen is that the mode of a delicate and difficult time for germany was saying just the f.t. was quick to hail. resignation as a victory is it safe to say that the f.t. has ousted the leader of the c.d.u. . i'm not sure if i would go so far as to say that the f.t. has activity at our best and i've come public on cabin by law but i would say that obviously the that the way that the a.f.p. acts and that other parties that consider themselves center or even center right parties. they are basically dancing to the f.t.'s drum in a way and they have been for quite some time because they are really concerned with winning back voters that they have not lost. to the i have to they're really concerned with staying in power rather than looking towards the left maybe for solutions of working together for approaches of working together because in germany one of the big arguments in the political discourse at the moment is this horseshoe fieri argument that can states that the far left is equally as bad as the far right and everybody would do well to stay in the center claiming that the ce
