5:15 pm
also struggling with rising prices and other things thing applies the zone, save yourself to coming from home. the german government has already repealed some of the cuts. but many of the farmers say it's not enough. they found support among the conservative opposition. you must do it by the deeds. thoughts on it is clear to see germany. is that a tipping point? the government has pro the rise this country in a way we haven't seen in decades to the palm think, i'm sorry. one of the protest main targets is german economy minister of all the topic. one is warns against x 3 miss leanings among those taking part in the rally is because you can often from the cold for a government of a through i being circulated. extreme is groups of being formed and natural. the symbols are being opened to display drama. it's becoming clear that something has shifted and reads cindy is lifting the boundaries of legitimate democratic protest
5:16 pm
and freedom of expression. so that's what used to be on. speaker will not seems to be legitimized how big recently experienced the farmers anger himself. last week, a group of protesters tried to storm a fairy, he was on the german farmers association has distance itself from the incident. and in berlin to some fear that the protest movement could be exploited by the far right is over. and i just hope that the a, if the party doesn't benefit too much from this, that wouldn't help us in germany. and along to him i. but on the farmers wants to continue protesting all week. they want to make it clear to the government that they aren't ready to back down. i love to have more. we are joined by christof hoffman. he is a member of the german parliament for the free democrats, the smallest party of the government coalition, and a substitute member of the fondest tax committee on food and agriculture. welcome
5:17 pm
to the program and thank you for your time. do you think that the protests that we're seeing or proportionate? yeah, i think it's bullshit. i'm into foremost doing very a job today working every day and without subsidies. they cannot exist in job at this number and cannot provide us with the nutrition we need in germany. but i mean just to just to counter that point, thing is made there when active is disrupted traffic last year to raise awareness of climate change in germany. your party leader. of course. yeah. and they know to them of endangering germany is prosperity. why do you think it's okay for the farmers to do so? as i think i'm in, i'm living in southern germany and we have a, a go to a cultural structure with farmers have come now to an existing problem. so their existence is at stake and your existing to the stake. why do you, do you go out there and make demonstrations and i'm in this is we're talking now
5:18 pm
about. busy 400000000 euros of subsidies into the diesel for the agricultural of a cold. and if you'd put this into proportion, this is not a big number for uh, 4850000000000. and you are a whole bunch of. this is a small number and i think if you have to think about if it's worth while to offend this promise, because they have been touched by a lot of other members, like the l. i'm suffering that they don't have any plan protection products anymore because the administrator would buy and do sort of slowing down the application process for new products which they should they need. and also they have to compensate in common docs that tax, which is new and is also only in germany. and they have a minimum wage increase. and the minimum wage in germany is about double. but we have in spain with a real compassion as all but despite,
5:19 pm
i mean the points that you are making there in support of the farmers and quite that they're facing economically. the german government, which your party is part of, has now approved the phase out of tax breaks for farmers not abruptly, but over multiple years. why do you think that that has been determined by the government? that that is the good solution as well? it was, you know, we have this a verdict of the constitutional court. so we have to say in our budget, a lot of money within a short time. and this was the real problem. so we could not really discuss in depth what all these kind of measures would mean. and for the farmers, it's just a load of things which came to them. and so this is getting a little too much. and the form is, are usually our group, all liberal votes, us because they are small enterprises. and actually we don't want to lose them. so,
5:20 pm
but this is not the case. we're losing them now. and the danger is that russian, i'm digital charles, i'm working on them the far right is working on them. so it's, it's a dangerous situation right now because we have other industries which have been suffering as well. um, with the higher cost. and we have to have a common framework in the you repeat market just because the foremost in the european markets have to have the same conditions and like and diesel. i live 5 not much from friends. they have to have a good cultural diesel subsidies as well. so why should all farmers have the same condition and all farmers, oh, well, oh, well, to do so, and if they have the same conditions in new york and market, then then let me ask you just um, you know, let's get a little future oriented here because the subsidies that we're all talking about, which i'm a diesel here to fuel. how can the government support farmers in this economic
5:21 pm
transition in a way that is less climate damaging? and we're open to new technology. i mean, we don't have other techniques so far. we need the diesel to produce products, we eat every day and then we have to be real. and um, maybe tomorrow we have other techniques or we have a vehicle to run the electricity a by run by. ready renewable energy, but this is not the case tomorrow. it's going to be maybe in 22 years of fine, 20 years or something like that. but do have to be real and realistic tomorrow. and the next 3 is christoph hoffman, member of the german parliament for the free democrats. thank you for joining us to share that for you. you're welcome. so now elsewhere, bangladesh has prime minister, has been re elected following a vote. the country is opposition has branded as
5:22 pm
a sham. the opposition boycotted the election after shake. athena refused to set up an independent commission to oversee it. now the prime minister, her ruling party, won the vast majority of seats in parliament to secure a 4th straight turman power. these residents in bangladesh is capital deca, frustrated off to 15 years of shade casinos leadership. they were hoping for change any but then i'm going to be like another leg away. it doesn't matter a 5, but i don't know to and this election. it's a false of an election. you say if it were a low to by it says that they never look like a national election to me. why? and i don't want to know that what the, what the, the government needs to get inflation on the control. it's crazy, you know, and i asked them to lower texas and provide help to pull people. we don't want
5:23 pm
anything else, no matter who is in power of the if it was an election mode by controversy in violence. the main or position bangladesh nationalists party, branded the elections has shown to be in pe, help mass protest ahead of the election untold that support. as the boy called the votes, they insist that has seen his crux down on politically rivals. ensured the re election was a foregone conclusion. casino dismissed this criticism and defended her goals that the re elected leader. busy i have nothing to say those will be but never to my own release or the designs of all that stuff
5:24 pm
on the board coaches the election by the b and p was one of the reasons that vote to turn out was much lower than to the previous selection but the smaller number of people who did vote ended up tightening has seen his grip on power as we want to bring you some breaking news now, just coming in the german football legend front beckoned bower has died at the age of 78. he lifted the world cup trophy as captain in 1974 and repeated the feat as manager in 1990 a club level with fire, munich back and bower one the european cup winners cups. in 1967 and 3 consecutive european cups from 1974 to 1976. we'll have more on that including reactions from the world of football in our next bulletin at the top of the hour.

in the meantime, we're going to head to los angeles, where it was a big night for the movie oppenheimer at the annual golden globes. picking up the best drama and for other awards that included christopher nolan does best director and kelly and murphy as best actor in a drama known in other categories. lily gladstone became the 1st indigenous golden glow of winter for her role and killers. of the flower moon and emma stone was named best actress in a comedy for her performance in poor things. the golden globes kicks off. holly was award season culminating with the oscars in march. and detainment journalist katie matthews was at the golden globes and she told me what she had expected. what was a surprise is lily gladstone winning for her performance in killers of the flower of flower meeting, which is a film by martin scorsese. she becomes the 1st native american woman in the us to
5:26 pm
win a gold and low. so was so wonderful to see her going stage and, and take her award and talk about her, her heritage and her mother inspiring her. and it was really just hard for me as we love barbie was fun, family fun people knows everything about barbie. it was a box office success. so pretty much everyone had seen the film and enjoy it. but you can't really compare it to all the time, which is a drama. and so it's kind of bio graphical feeling. we all know what it's about and it's just, it's so intense. you know what i mean to have a comedy on one side as drama in the other. they're not even in the same league bowed great films. both wonderfully acted great directors, but just very, very, very different fields. but i do think they got it right. i mean, i think that it is best picture. i think it definitely should be the best drama. i thought that the performance by robert downey junior, gillian murphy and you know, christopher nolan, being the director did that just a phenomenal job to remember. there's more news and analysis on our website and social media channels coming up. and next is
