the democracy of germany, you cannot separate it from the way germany dealt with its past. when you have a party like the afd which is attacking this way of dealing with memory, that is fundamentally for the democracy, then, in a way, this party attacks also the democracy. because the way of dealing with history in germany, especially, brought the people, the civilians, to develop a sense for individual moral responsibility. peter: would you like to pick up on that, alan? alan: not really, because i agree totally. i cannot say much about that. you're totally right, geraldine. peter: the alternative for germany, as we have seen, they are now a far right party. they are in the german parliament, the bundestag. the question is now how to respond to them. their presence here is one example. in september 2017, the far right populist alternative for germany became the third largest party in germany's bundestag. they claim to be the only ones who can preserve germany. the rhetoric is getting tougher on all sides. >> no, i will not allow any heckling. all the members sitting there

sparking a massive debate here in germany also of all of. the time interior minister in two thousand and six said something along these lines but you know this is what is famous for he's always been the foreigner in uncle americal side especially when it comes to the migrant crisis and to the migrant policy off the open doors allowing more than one million refugees coming here to germany in two thousand and fifteen and this is the picture he's trying to draw off himself for the bavarian voter the guy from bavaria who comes to berlin defending conservative values here the question is going to be very interesting to watch right now whether this plan will work out because no doubt he's a good p.r. guy but the question is will voters appreciate this roof or will it fire back and resolve in a further. support in the if the party getting stronger as a result of that because those who are the ones today who are applauding the lot of the loudest given what you've said about playing to the crowds i wonder how the chancellor and her interior minister

have a place in germany islam does not. this country has been culturally influenced by christianity for hundreds of years. that's why it is wrong to say that islam belongs to germany. in teaser form flourish chancellor angela merkel disagrees and she very quickly and publicly slapped down her interior minister and party ally inspiration to me you are in the four million muslims who currently live in germany practiced their religion. and they belong here just as much as their religion does your own government to do it stand i thought. germany's new justice minister offered a reminder that freedom of religion is strictly protected in the constitution. mentioned i mean i think people are tired of these theoretical discussions about terminology it's clear to everyone that we need practical solutions to our problems i hope we can agree that our value system encompasses everyone's basic rights. the central council of muslims in germany says politicians shouldn't adopt far right rhetoric in the run up to a regional election. it's

it's germany to built up its democracy the democracy of germany you call it separate it from the way germany dealt with its past so when you have a party like the if they which is attacking this way of dealing with memory the. fundamentally father democracy then in a way this party attacks also the democracy because the way of dealing with history in germany especially brought the people. the civilians to develop a sense for individual moral responsibility just to pick up on the problem you know well. not really because i agree totally i mean i can't say much about that you're totally right geraldine that's ok let's go back to the the alternative for germany as we've seen the very year on our far right party there in the german parliament the bundestag the question is know how to respond to them and their presence here is one example. in september twenty seventeen the far right populist alternative for germany became the third largest party in germany's ponderous time they claim to be the only ones who can preserve germany the rhetoric is getting tougher on all sides and it's not you

doing life for her let's approachable decision looms for germany and britain chancellor members of the social democrats have voted on whether to approve another grand coalition under the chancellor any moment now the party officials will reveal the results and i guess open the way for a new german government but no one could put chancellor merkel's political future on the line well the likely announcement shortly. i'm to be so much going on this kind of welcome to our special coverage of the next step in germany's efforts to form a governor. and now more than five months after elections here the wait for a new government could finally be over the social democratic party is about to reveal the results of the key ballot s.p.d. leaders asked the entire party membership whether or not they should enter a new grand coalition with chancellor angela merkel's conservative almost half a million a party members were eligible to vote completed ballots from across germany arrived at s.p.d. head foreigners in berlin and officials have been counting through the night the national party treasurer is

up and actually even in germany we see a close adherence to patry arkell traditions in germany especially chiefly because . migration per se makes people more conservative as we see worldwide people living in germany who originally come from turkey or muslim countries are more conservative than in their countries of origin microns of at. some muslim families it's actually seen as wrong for women to have equal rights in germany we have the basic law enshrining women's rights as equals is this ignored in muslim families in germany. and unfortunately in europe and particularly in germany there are parallel societies with people from turkey or muslim cultural circles who believe that german or european law does not apply to them their values are the values of sharia law not just the ritual aspects of sharia but its legal aspects to democracy is something they do not accept unfortunately many families see the world this way. why is such intolerance accepted in germany as the state looks on who does nothing to intervene. like a beggar i would say no freedom for the enemies of freedom no toleran

well there are multiple causes why the gender pay gap is so high but i think what germany the germany can be a very good example for gender equality because it actually has this tradition of rather good gender equality in the g.d.r. we're made women. used to work and actually you see that until now that is germany in high level positions there are more we ones in the west germany interesting insights alexandra federalists from the german institute of economic research great to have you with us today and. well cars are still seen as a man's game if signs at the geneva motor show anything to go by most of the attendees there are men but things are changing albeit slowly in the run up to the motor show a couple of kamikazes the hash tag no booth babes on social media to rally against women at cost and being used solely as decoration well of course want to do milan now looks at how far the caution has come and how far it still has to go. at the geneva motor show attractive women draped over shining sports cars are out modestly dressed car explainers prepared to talk features and functions

then this defense germany signed up to be part of a new e.u. defense union which could pave the way to form any european army but first the german armed forces are in need of modernization a new report has found that facing dramatic personnel and equipment shortages. and that is domestic concerns germany is lacking behind when it comes to digitalisation the coalition is promising to invest billions on a national broadband upgrade by twenty twenty five tackling air pollution is another high priority german cities have won the right to g.'s bans on the once polluting diesel cars but what will that mean for germany's all important auto industry. finally refugee policy. possibly one of the most contentious issues facing the new coalition after the success of the far right a.f.d. party and last year's election expect germany to get tougher on immigration the coalition's promise to keep the annual intake of new asylum seekers below two hundred twenty thousand. there's been a major cabinet shakeup in the new coalition only two ministers from the previ

we're going to stop the show with a rep of who is one of germany's biggest music stars despite the fact that we've never seen his face grow doesn't care about stardom and all the hype surrounding his person and that's probably one of the reasons why he chose to play concerts at small clubs on this tour rather than huge arenas we met up with him at his recent gig in berlin. berlin club might be. keeping it real with his new true tour he wants to go back to his roots. i didn't want to lose my bearings i wanted to go back to basics i have this feeling of clubs again cigarettes on the floor where. get a bit i want to revive the nice feeling of the old days so that's why i'm going back to smaller venues ok so some fans are prepared to wait for hours even to below freezing temperatures. we've all got a ticket so what are you standing in line for so that we can be at the front. it's warm and cozy and. doesn't mind the fans getting right up close to him but when it comes to his music he wants to be free to. never only done rap or pop or rock i've always been three i don't want to be pigeonholed

that goes for his fellow left-wingers in germany, too. >> in germany, the social democrats say they need to govern with the conservatives for the good of the country. but that's a mistake. because europe needs a common discourse. we need to say we'll no longer accept the status quo -- a europe that pleases the rich and crushes the poor. >> mehdi chalah himself grew up in a poor family. but he worked hard in school and came here every evening to get help with his homework, so he was able to study law. at 17, he joined france's socialist party. it's been in power in lille for decades, and is renovating the area mehdi chalah grew up in. though even that, he says, won't level the playing field for its residents. >> as a teenager, it became clear how important this association was to me, because no one could help me at home. for kids whose parents are teachers, doctors, or lawyers it's a different story. and that's simply not fair. >> he went into politics and moved to paris to work as parliamentary assistant for a socialist mp. but his political aspirations were quashed during the french leg
