merkel's conservative democrats is the longest serving lawmaker in the country in his acceptance speech short to stress the need for parliamentarians to lead by example and work together in his acceptance speech stressed that parliamentarians had to lead by example and maintain a respectful tone. way in which we talk with one another here in parliament can be a role model for society obviously we shouldn't one another here although we have seen that this has occasionally occurred in other parliaments because of me and we don't want to get verbally abusive either farm or we want to show that we're going to salute issues with out losing basic decency. let me now drawing up political correspondent thomas perry who's been to start a tour was we just heard what choice i had to see what you make of his key message

as the president of the german parliament. both countries will be referred to a debate that we've heard on many occasions here the german parliament since the alternative for germany the f.t. entered the parliament on september twenty fourth and that's how to react to this party and in particular to what some people consider these parties provocations he mentioned that dilemma between obviously respecting different opinions even encouraging different opinions and yet at the same time trying to find compromise and doing so i'm retired by respecting the rules doesn't mean that evolve control of distressed during his speech today the first speech as the new president of the german parliament and that's something that he indeed hopes that will be the case in the next four years right here where we are standing but obviously it is still unclear how that will play out when the real debates start and how

the traditional parties will react to the a.f.d. when we consider the f.d.a. does seem certain that they could shift the tone of the debate to the right but it is also clear that they do not count with the necessary majority to try and move forward some of the proposals that they could bring to the table here so the next vote in the german parliament will be for the post of vice president that each party in and the under side gets to nominate a vice president and this vote is expected to be controversial why. well and this is a clear example of what we're talking about this dilemma that different parties find themselves in because each party obviously as you say has a right to nominate a vice presidential candidate the a.f.d. has done so. but the other parties have said outright that they are against the

nomination of a glass and they will vote against it they're not obviously a. having of vice president i was a presidential candidate but they are against albert x. so this just shows the level of the debate here in the german decide on it if you will something that we will also see in the months and years to come of this debate between the alternative for germany and the other parties why there's so much concern about the f.t. in parliament or was it one thirteen percent of the national vote it's represented in many of the recent parliaments as well. it's precisely because of this of this dilemma because it is an absolutely new phenomenon here in the german parliament in many many decades the first time that such a party enters the german parliament on the traditional parties are obviously confronted with the need to respond to them if they ignore what the a.f.d. says they're ignoring twelve point six percent of the electorate if on the other

hand they respond to every single provocation of the f.t. they could also boost the profile of this party so these are obviously debates that we will see in the next few months and years here in the german parliament thomas founder of the understand thank you very much for that. less of a look at look at some other stories making news around the world austria's newly elected conservative leaders about kurtz has announced he'll try on government with the country's right wing freedom party a decision that was widely expected go it said the freedom party had shown a real to bring about change in austria together. hong kong a democracy protest leaders and nathan law and joshua wong have been released from prison on bail the pair were jailed in august for their rows in the anti china protests of two thousand and fourteen known as the umbrella revolution nice in-laws trying to supporters and said he and one were due to appear back in court in
