so much at stake, and german voters are mired in apathy. they are saying, i can't generate any enthusiasm for this election. what is going on? petra: what merkel did during the last couple years is pretetd that vototers don't have to care for politics. she just will deal with it. when you look at history, the last 12 years, it was all right. went quite well. if you look at the german situation, germany is doing quite fine. she knows best. derek? the "irish times" correspondent, what do you make of the election campaign? derek: resignation, i think. everyone is happy she's there. she's kind of like a security blanket. a lot of people are resigned. if you go around east germany, her greatest fans are saying, we are very grateful she's there. we are blessed to have somebody who is so calm and not a narcissist idiot. we've had so much coming down the line economically, demographically, the car industry, a quarter of germany's prosperity on the line, and we've got 1.6% growth, and we got 4% jobless, so everything seems fine. one woman said to me

german art is big business in places like the us britain and china compared to these giants the german art market is only a small player. in the art is created in germany but it's sold in london and new york why is that let's find some answers from stuff i'm trying to from greece about one of germany's most prestigious auction houses. and lobby there's no one lobbying for it it's not like the twenty's when you had patrons in collectors and benefactors from the museums. today art is often bound up with an educational mandate funded by the public with big museums with events. events on a middle class collector peers at a disadvantage and just have to get up. there is another new phenomenon contemporary art is often incredibly expensive while paintings from the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries don't sell at all why is that. and i think also there's a lot of hype at the moment around easy to distressed contemporary work the old master's take effort to appreciate life the notion that you have to be aware of arts mythology and like no graffiti is out of fashion in our time but we're workin

it's forgotten it's somewhere in in the in the german bones in the german psyche and i think even though now we do see a far right party with almost thirteen percent of the vote i think the realization that a certain level of solidarity a certain level of consensus is necessary to the functioning of any democratic society and if you fail that test the risks are very great i think that is present here in a way it's not in the us there are also differences in terms of broadcasting in terms of the degree to which people are watching you know in the united states today everybody's in their ideological canyon they go to the network or the website that comforts them in what they already believe and the divisions in american society very harsh and very worrying. new york times columnist roger cohen here at the big table with us tonight roger a pleasure to have you on the show come back we'd like to talk with you again thank you very much brant. i. now to somalia that country's government has been struggling with a jihadist insurgency for years well back in april u.s. president donald trump anno

shrugging offtors the german election results. health care, food, beverage and media rising for a third day after a second consecutive weekly gain last week. i thought i would show you the 5.01% --le changed, up 0.1%. for thebullish sign likes of franklin templeton, credit suisse. the dax trading at about 13.1 times, well below the msc pra rating. freend coalition of the democrats, the greens, angela merkel's block would be the worst outcome for the country's utility. meanwhile, we are getting comments from ubs. greens car industry, the want to prohibit the registration of cars with combustion engines from 2020, 2030 onward. block wants to have subsidies on electric cars. why the discussions to create what is called this -- they are not going to be easy or straightforward. this is euro-dollar. both declining today, german bonds declining right across the board today. euro falling for the first day in three. the prospects of another round of elections, should this coalition prove unsustainable will weigh on the euro, according to o

i'm a money it's good to have you with us german chancellor angela merkel and her main challenge a mock to ensure we're out on their final day of campaigning before germans go to the polls on sunday and womack hill has a comfortable lead in the polls she's not taking any chances meeting voters in her home district in north eastern germany to pound home the message one last. the chancellor angela merkel doesn't have to worry about keeping her campaign alive as she practiced the c.p.i. . and rates voters inched while so and her constituency in eastern germany after all her conservatives have a healthy lead in the polls and merkel looks set to become chancellor for the fourth time. i think she has done a good job so far and that the results are tomorrow's general election will be pretty clear. but it's almost certain that the christian democrats might get enough votes to govern on their own. one possible coalition partner the free market free democrats their leader christian in the last campaign day pitching for a comeback the f.t. pay failed to make it into the bundestag in the last feder

the german model and. in many cases migrants have really been very successfully integrated into the german workforce there's a there's a big shortage of. crazy knees apprentices. markets are doing. very important for valuable things and if you talk to migrants who are being integrated in this way they are indeed. really quite outstanding successes i just came across a bloomberg article on the integration of migrants and essentially the mass it was that because of. the and the willingness of merkel governments to give the moderates and refugees a permanent status of integration is not going on well and the idea was also in that article about the companies are not willing to or not able to in vast long term and training off many of those of those newcomers again because merkel keeps three to rating the point that once the wars are over my gran's are expected to go back into the country to into their home countries rather do you think that is actually a good sense because it seems to me that this is a politic

cars german culture german beer but what isn't popular is the german sanctions against russia e.u. sanctions against russia supported by germany and everybody knows until america will stick to them so yes everybody here is of course unhappy with the situation and would like and get american to change it as soon as possible and many hope she will all right yuri brush is a big country it's got a lot going on but in general how important is the german election to most russians really. well it was very very interesting how the russian to t.v. for example didn't cover the election campaign as too boring it understood understandable for russians but now it's very important and it's headline here is america one this is a multi most important result and as i said the russians seem to be satisfied with this result and recognized america as the german chancellor once again for the fourth time all right that's the view from moscow yury rich shadow thanks for a look. you're watching date on the news coming to you live from berlin our coverage continues at the top of the hour but don't forget y

the still strong far right in france what a lot of germans not all germans but what a lot of germans are looking for is strong stable leadership and miracle in the past has has has given that over and over and over again so i think if we're looking at you know what she's going to continue to do if she is elected to be chancellor once again it is she will she will continue to do what she has been so good at which is you know to take opposition policies and co-opt them for herself to continue to give a strong hand for the e.u. and to make no sudden drastic changes that could destabilize the country or the e.u. in general and the you know will we see greater fiscal integration do you think and is that important now for the euro zone of course the that is of course the perennial question and we see angela merkel's counterpart in from home pushing hard for more fiscal integration but the fundamental rules of the euro zone game do not change that is that germany is not does not want to become the e.u. to become a permanent transfer union and nor will it relinquish more money to the rest of

this is a warning for german politicians that the people want something different if the german people do not accept chancellor merkel's migration policy is to the extent that they have been implemented as. right wing parties now have seats in the parliaments of twenty. that gives the party leaders confidence. their presence is beneficial and we will continue to work on building the europe we want with the masters freedom party has expressed similar sentiments i had of parliamentary elections set for october. our goal is to keep control of our country if that's what we intend to do we have high hopes. for. what sort of europe to the right wing parties actually want. good question pascal we know that they are anti immigration and he is a foreigner and you are these populist parties across europe now a genuine threat to the e.u. itself. yeah i mean it. depends how much they're not in the government that's the first thing i mean they have a lot of impact in in terms of influence and voice and made in presence but they're not in the government and so they're not able to make the laws or to
