i think security and safety is very important. but i havems. and i imagine the future of germany, i think we live in peace, not with war. it's very important for me. we should live in harmony with nature. we should live in safer conditions. we should have a much better living standard. i think it is possible. but what i really fear is that in this rich country, 2.5 million children live under the poverty level according to online. we have 12 million people who live under the poverty line. i think the solution is to have a basic income for every citizen. it's a great solution. it's quite easy to finance.

we could have tax on consumption and a whole new tax code that finances it. but it's very important for me is that the government should be governed by social politicians. okay? i think we need a mixture of politicians. you should have politicians who have social skills, important for you. but also we should have technicians so that they know what they're doing and we can sell and export perhaps from business, yes. when i mention technique, i mention business, actually. we have social skills, of course. i think it's important. and people mentioned the basic income again, yes. i'm 47 years old. i'm a pastor in a free church.

what scares us is what is alien, what is important. for instance, i invited a syrian. dent show up because he feared i would cook a meal with pork. we never thought about talking about it. but he didn't come. so what we fear is that we have not met what we do not know. for instance, we say out with the nazis. it's okay. but these people cannot go out of the country. we have to win them over and talk to hem and bring them to our side. we have projects where i live which is called inner garden. it's a garden in the center of cities where people of all origins meet, foreigners, older people. this can dance with german girls, for instance. they can't speak german to them but they can dance with them. it's a project where people can meet each other.

so we can bring different generations. and it's central garden. i would like for these projects to be replicated in different cities. yes, it has to do with these homes where we can bring several generations. indeed, all day the whole family live together with different generations. that's over. and very often not when you meet old people or the old meet the young they feel weird. it's no longer normal. and it should become normal again. and very often we don't have this opening anymore. yes, in the back? i live in security and safety. but the problem is courage. a lot of people have not had the courage to stay in the state. a lot of people have left the

state. it's too bad. and all the relations that you keep is through facebook, that's it. i wish that enterprises and the authorities would reward people who have decided that we had the courage to stay in east germany. and they should be discouraged and we should not only concentrate on what is wrong but we should perhaps emphasize what works, what is okay. we should not constantly say, no, this doesn't work. you can't do. that but have courage. and what is your experience? no, my experience is very bad. i keep meeting closed doors. but i'm safe, anyway. i keep going. i hope that i'm going to bring people with me and look, there's a lot to do in the tourism industry and in other industries. and i hope that people are going to come back or people are going

to be attracted. another plea for opening. yes? yes? you look so nice. you're looking at me so nicely. you were hoping that i would give you the floor by smiling, right? you come from a fraction. i'm the mayor of a very small town. i must thank you for having the idea of having a dialogue with the citizens not only courage but it's an example. our prime minister does the same. but it would be nice if people were doing that at every level so we could talk about all these

problems. it's not always easy. because very often our problems are deep roots. and very often when people are committed, there's obstacle after obstacle and it doesn't work. and in the countryside, for instance, we don't have the same right to develop as the big cities. and that's not right. as mayor, do you also talk to your citizens? oh, yeah, we have a constant dialogue. and we put projects together. and fortunately, of course, we have no money. so we would like to have some money just like people did in bavaria. so we're not giving up. we keep trying. back to safety and security. it is true we heard about corruption and white collar crime. the corruption doesn't start at the bottom. it starts somewhere else.

you know that better than i do. and look at this financial crisis. remember, you said at the time that i have enough. we are going to go off to people. you said that. and the people have not seen any punishment. not a single one of these people has been sued and the population sees that. they see that nobody has gone seriously after them. i think that we should have measures to prevent that it happens again. and i think our prosecutors should go after them. but i think that prosecutors are under the influence of these people. it's the same as in all other states. and my wish is that this should be the commission that works on suing these people. this is my wish. you yourself should be involved.

you should put in the intelligence, services, the equivalent to our federal police, the criminal police, the federal criminal guide. this should go out to all the financiers. you could encourage that. i know that it's in good hands with you. thank you. we hope -- we're seeing to it that this work is official. we have to be sure that everybody will be punished if they commit a crime. yes? relatively quickly, please. i'm going to provoke you. and i'm going to say to you what happens. 20% of the population turns

towards extreme right-wing ideology. 20% of the population. and so what is the population? well, it's common citizens. also, it's part of the administration. it goes a little bit higher. i'm not going to mention names. it could go even higher. and then i have this weird idea that the police couldn't find the extreme right-wing criminals. why not for so many years becoming skeptic. are we really going after these people or are they protected? this is the problem and the chancellor said it. it is difficult to stop these extreme right-wing people. the supreme court said we couldn't go after their party. so why something as happening there. 20 years later, they're still legal. i mean, yes, it goes back to the

schools also. we should train the kids. we should practice the kids. it is difficult. it is difficult. one more thing. one more thing. the safest state is the one that has the most cctv cameras everywhere. i'm a citizen. i'm not disturbed if i'm observed if you keep my data for three years. but what we do after three years, you destroy all the data. how do you want to protect citizens if you do that? yes? more video kamz are a for security you said. otherwise, i won't tell you for this racism we have to do something. and, of course, the need to be

observed. now we have to go further. i mean we keep walking on the carpet. we're coming to identity. and, of course, the question is what is -- what are we talking about? another video. it's not security. but it's identity. >> translator: germany, a country was a lot of regional diversity. for us, it is normal when we go in different regions. we see new traditions. but how do we see ourselves? you are always on time. we have rules for everything. we are responsible. we produce quality products. made in germany is well known.

we're very warm hearted. today germany is modern country in a europe that gets ever closer. but how with he can going to define ourselves in the future? germany has a culture of welcoming people. and, yet, we're a little bit insecure. we always worry. we think that people are going to see us as closed in. as posing problems. germany is great economic nation, export nation. in a country is always the mediator of political processes. and how do other countries see us? i think there are two things that we can be proud of.

on the one hand, we solve problems in the world. we are the persons who put people together. and number two, we have a great strength of innovation, technology. we find lots of solutions and people turn to us with solutions. so what does it mean to be german? how can we understand the role of germany in europe and in the world? what can we learn from other countries? the question of identity, ladies and gentlemen, wherever we're going to be? how do we see each other ten years from now? had a peaceful reunification 20 years ago. u interesting there. the third one.

i come from oxford. and yesterday i was in a big department store. i heard publicity jingle. and it was called a country that i understand. and it said a country where people still count for something. i said i was in a department store. but what i do not wish for germany is that germany is going to be a country of consumers and all we do is buy. i'm a german. i'm not a consumer. i'm a citizen and i'm not just a consumer without any come pass. that's important for me. and i think that what we should do is to have another culture, a culture of giving. a culture of welcoming people.

perhaps we should be less selfish. we should make less advertising so people know each other. people would know us better as people so not ever more money but more people. of course, that has to be decided by the state. it's a mentality. ten years from now i'd like to be proud of being a teacher. i wouldn't wand to hide and say i'm a teacher. but there are a lot of teachers.

teachers work hard not only to come on time. they don't spend time on holidays. they're very committed. they go the extra mile. they have contact with young people, with parents. even if they give their time after hours. everybody should be proud of their profession. i'm proud of my own. but i think that perhaps we are hiding too much. yes. we heard. ten years from now we can say that teachers are very important. yes. we have all been to school.

everybody knows the work done by teachers and they do a great job. so who do we want to be? how do we see each other? i'm a student. i'd like to add something to what the teacher just said. the picture she painted look very exemplary and positive. and, of course, it's true many teachers work hard for their students. and they love this profession. and they have a lot of courage and invested a lot of strength. built i've also seen it's not always the case. and there are many problems. especially when we talk about identity. teachers are no longer

interested in trans transmitting information. they just go through the motions to get it overwith. they're totally uninterested. they call in sick. and they come to work in a bad mood. and they go oh, my god. do you have a proposal about teachers for the chance chore? should teachers be trained for a more modern type of life? yes, i think we should change the curriculum. i've heard several cases where people are studying curriculum that goes nowhere. and, of course, when teachers of classes are too large. they have a hard time teaching.

this is true. but, good. at least we have heard two different advice. and we're still going to talk about teachers for the next ten years. you. and him. i'm a specialist with immigration problems. we talk about identity. there's a problem when you're talking about violence against immigrants. especially immigrants of the third generation. we have learned german fluently. they know german culture. there are, i think it's very important to talk about normalcy. it doesn't matter what you look like. but you should be considered.
