two hundred forty million euros a year in search of a partner. and thirty percent of them now find their partner on line. the business and love our special focus on made in germany starting october twenty fourth on the devil you know. this is day that we knew his life from berlin germany's new parliament opens with a new president both gunks joy that is likely to oversee some stormy debates in the new assembly with a right wing nationalist party looking at joining proceedings for the first time in

decades also on the program. chinese president xi jinping increases his influence over his country and his party as delegates the communist party congress back his vision for china's future. blaster russians are forbidden love the new film matilda tells the story of son nicholas the seconds affair with a ballerina and it's already sparking a violent reaction. i feel gail welcome to the program. germany's newly elected parliament has convened for the first time since last month's elections and with more parliamentary factions on the right wing f d party in the assembly for the first time it will not be business as usual one of the just talks first tasks was to elect a new parliamentary president. it now falls to parliament's longest serving member

to keep things under control with the elected president of the understudy the politician from chancellor merkel's party called for calm proceedings amid debate and to play by the rules the obvious way we speak to one another can set an example for discourse throughout society. we are not here to beat each other up the new parliament has more members than ever and forty percent of them are newcomers the business friendly f.t.p. is back and the far right a.f.d. is in for the first time under old rules a member of the a.f.p. would have opened the first session as the oldest m.p. but this time that role went to a veteran f.t.p. lawmaker the rules on the matter were recently changed which the a.f.d.c. as an affront. this rule student changed in one hundred fifty years of parliamentary history there's only one exception in one thousand nine hundred eighty three it was broken by him and gurgling because as a nazi he wanted to ostracize his political enemies. the first exchanges already

proved fiery. if you are seriously comparing yourselves to victims of hermann goering then you've already done your own crudity. both the s.p.d. and the left party are rallying for more open confrontation with the chancellor. the parliament must resume its role as the main stage of political exchange and not t.v. talk shows or one on one interviews from reporters madam chancellor. i think that means that the parties especially the opposition parties can suggest topics here that the chancellor might find very unpleasant. but the party's forming chancellor merkel's new governing coalition shot down those suggestions that the right to question must remain an instrument of parliamentary control and not a weapon for the opposition. you want to make a show of us with a history lesson today and we won't allow it. parliament is still voting on its six

vice presidents although each party has a right to the post the far right a.f.d. candidate has already been rejected after stating islam is a political ideology and not a religion the first scandal of the new bundestag. let's get more from the deadly politics correspondent kate brady who is at the bundestag welcome back kate let's start with this is a vote for vice president which is already causing such an upset at the bundestag has voted against the f.d.a. is that candidate that three times tell us more about why he's so controversial. well this is all of the back of a comment that i'll brush plaza made back in april when he says that islam that muslims should not have the fundamental right to the freedom of religion which of course is in the german constitution and all of the other m.p.'s belonging to the other parliamentary groups in the parliament set out right before today's

parliamentary system that they were to not be voting for our pledge to glass a to become one of the six vice presidents of course that's also important to remember that there are in fact six vice presidents in this parliament one from each parliamentary group and the other five were already voted through today in the first round obviously now after three rounds today. there was still unsuccessful and now the f.d.a. will be back to the drawing board for them before the next parliamentary sitting which will be in about four weeks from now so we'll have to see whether they'll put him forward as a nomination again or whether they'll bring a new candidate to the table so between they were compelled to say that over fifty vice presidents and we saw and the report that the problems over being the first person to speak what wine says so much concern in parliament about the f.t. which is a julie elected and constituted political party. of

course one of the bain issues at the moment is that there is this concern that we're going to see a shift to the right i'm in discussion and debates in the german parliament but at the same time many m.p.'s are also concerned about what the f.d.a. m.p.'s going to say and how they're going to use their time that they could use that time that they're allowed to speak in parliament to spread any ideas of hate or any of the comments that we've heard before of course i'm just four weeks ago on this day when when we heard the election result. alexander galland one of the co-leaders of the party said himself that the f.d.a. would hound the m.p.'s and hound the government and so we'll have to see how that turns out in the coming weeks and of course some of the concerned that there will be more time spent dealing with the f.d.a. and then actually getting down to business in parliament train issue brief word

about parliament new president both ganga showing blood what does he bring to this post which is essentially a speaker. well one of the main things of course his experience he's one of but he has decades of experience in german politics and he's currently the longest serving german m.p. and if we think back to the euro crisis i mean he was the now former german finance minister and he did make many enemies back then and took a very strong stance but at the same time he's also managed to always retain respect and so that's something and i think you'll continue to push through with now that he is the bundestag president. the born to start thank you. china's ruling communist party has confirmed president disease and pain i say its most powerful leader for decades by adding his name and ideology to the constitution at the end of the party's five year the congress delegates voted

unanimously to include thought as a guiding principle this case presently the same level of prominence as party found a dog and could mark the start of a new era for the country. pulling ahead of the pack the chinese team leads the fleet at the world's most challenging ocean sailing event the volvo ocean race that's also where chinese leader xi jinping wants to see his country as a global leader it's among the goals outlined in president xi cian pings a broad vision now enshrined in the country's constitution to get there she has pledged to navigate china into a new era of global power and influence. and now please submit your vote from those who agree raise your hand more than twenty three hundred delegates voted unanimously to add she's name and ideology to the party's charter cementing his grip on power since the people's

republic of china was founded in one thousand nine hundred forty nine only one leader founder mao zedong himself has been honored in such a way while still alive deng xiaoping the architect of china's economic opening is the only other leader to be included in the party charter but that was only after his death in one thousand nine hundred seven she sees himself as the country's third transformational leader and by attaining the same rank is mellon doing any active opposing she becomes tantamount to an attack on the party itself. after consolidating his own power she is now seeking to reinforce the authority of the communist party he's pledged to pull all aspects of the country's politics economy and society under the ruling communist party's control. we must lay a solid foundation for party building at the grassroots level as the saying goes

without a solid foundation the earth will tremble and the mountains will sway. outside of the party she enjoys wine support from ordinary chinese people in particular for his vast anti corruption campaign and for pushing a nationalist agenda braund but she is also known for his unprecedented crackdown on dissent targeting human rights activists the courts and restricting the free flow of information. of people in this room and i can book from the mackay to institute for china studies so welcome to d w here's the thing president she was already he was chairman of the communist party president of china so he was already the most powerful man in the country so what difference will it change to the constitution make to his position i think it's first and foremost meant to be a powerful symbolic statement that the party is behind paying as a strong leader of the country and that further solidifies his position here so i

think first and foremost what the party is trying to do here is send the signal that we're all behind him playing right now he's a major party which we heard in their report that a major part of his presidency has been stumping out corruption now you know for a very in regimes this is often code for getting rid of the political opposition how successfully has he been either or both of these right i do believe that it has a dual function and i do think that the c.c.p. is very serious that actually stamping out corruption that it's identified this as one of the main mistakes that the soviet union made which actually brought it down on the other hand it's very it's a very useful tool to get rid of any opponents and to make sure that right now anybody who still is in the party is on board with paying i think we've seen we have seen some progress in terms of stamping out corruption but i don't know if it's sustainable we can definitely tell that it has been very successful at getting rid of any opposing voices and as you can see from the very. enthusiastic response

to see dimpling at the party congress itself there's nobody right now would stand up and say no. he's not the man ok now he's declared the start of a new era but he's already been president for four years so what do you mean by that that's actually that actually puts the communists of the communist party of china what they're doing here is what communist leaders have been doing since lenin stalin and mao is they what they do is they prefer to define a principle contradiction which is the main problem that the communist party has to solve in a certain era and that changes and what you depend did here is he redefined the principle contradiction and that's why he's referring to a new era of what is the principle contradiction of previously it was basically set up so that the primary target was economic growth between backward backward productive forces and the needs of the people and now he's redefined it to make the primary responsibility of the party more equal development but it's no longer about just merely generating g.d.p.

but about making sure that all chinese can actually profit from china's economic growth and this is what's behind this new era this new era of putting a focus on more egalitarian more equal development instead of just g.d.p. growth as you say put the commonest in companies but also. very very briefly then one wonders why it's taken them so long to do that. i mean you can you could see the signs that this was going to have they've been shifting their priorities for a number of years like in the past ten years you've seen some moves towards more equal development in the wind it isn't but it's very it's very rarely that they actually do refit redefine the principle contradiction and previous leaders might not have the clout to do that he said he has it now but i can only book from the cato institute john studies thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world austria's newly elected conservative later sebastian of course has announced that he will try to form a coalition government with the country's right wing freedom party but this isn't

that was widely expected was a cook said the freedom party had shown what he. i will to bring about change in austria to go. france's president emanuel macro has declined to publicly criticize the human rights record of his egyptian counterpart abdel fattah sisi mr present macro set as a joint press conference with president sisi that he does not want to a give lessons without taking context into account human rights groups made an appeal to the french president to address alleged human rights violations by egypt's security forces. now after much anticipation and protest a controversial film about the last the russian tsar is due for release this week the movie tells the true story of son nicholas the second and his affair with a polish ballerina called matilda but it is anger at hardline nationalists and russian orthodox christians who view this art as a saint as

a love story it makes its debut in a series of violent incidents targeting the filmmakers as russia on edge. the roman of family secret a story of forbidden passion nicholas the second fell in love with a ballerina a film premiere that's made many russians nervous. good news is the premiere of matilda was held peacefully here at the very famous. petersburg and these despite the fact that this film a lot of controversy in the russian. tension was high on opening night one hundred police officers guarded a select audience security measures more typical of an airport where a place many feared an attack director alexy would tell had received multiple threats but he remained defiant. yeah i'm not afraid i hope good sense triumphs and the uproar subsides. the uproar mainly has to do with

a few sex scenes the depict a week. who's about to lose his throne. the matilda a simple dancer. that was too much for russia's powerful orthodox church which canonized nicholas the second after his murder a nine hundred seventeen betraying him this way is an offense to the religious sensibilities of the faithful that's according to russia's parliament the duma. natalya parklands skier a duma lawmaker started the campaign against matilda. what do you have against this film that is insult saints who embody a healthy family a proper family relationship our family values. news in the order not to cause offense one must be able to strike a balance between artistic freedom and the rights of our citizens to their religious feelings. some of these offended citizens seem to take inspiration from

his campaign they torched movie theaters like here in the city of you catherine berg a car belonging to the director's lawyer was set on fire in moscow. initially the church didn't comment on the violence. german actor. who plays nicholas the second avoided the premiere after a hate campaign by religious extremists. he sent this video message instead. of. brutal. so you'll allow. the film's success remains to be seen but it's already gained plenty of notoriety from politicians and the church critics of the mighty russian orthodox church say the church is trying to act as a moral sense and is further infringing on social life in russia a life in

a beach bland theater productions some. times disappear from the program and entire exhibitions are closed as they say it's almost impossible to states cultural events without cries from people claiming to be insulted and enraged. this is day w is live from berlin still to come the olympic torch for the eighteenth the winter games has been let's take a look at the traditional ceremony in limpia in greece the birthplace of the of a fix. first though it was all in how's your business update and it's good news if you work in germany definitely if you work for an s.m.b. a small medium sized enterprise that's a definite if your job ends up getting digitized maybe not i'll get to that in a moment but first of all germany's economy and its economic backbone it's always relied on highly specialized small and medium sized enterprises as i mentioned the famed german metals stand now a study is confirm the role they play in the country's economic health is more

vital than ever a new study from the german development bank has shown that sales from german s.-a m.-e. companies like this manufacturer of specialized pumps rose steeply yet again in twenty sixteen they're up by nearly four percent to four and a half trillion euros that's the strongest growth for five years unlike in the past however much of that growth is being powered by domestic demand rather than exports and in a kind of feedback loop domestic demand is in turn being driven by excellent employment figures as the middle aged and companies hire more staff to cope with rising orders at the end of august germany's federal employment agency announced that only around two point five million people were currently looking for work pushing the unemployment rate to the lowest level since german reunification more than twenty five years ago. christan call it is a member of the board a big con the german i.t.

association because he and have the germans got too good a date in danger of getting lazy competition wise internationally i don't think so i think germany is very concerned with the whole process of digitize ation and the digital transformation so i think we're all looking ahead. not at all lazy tell me digitization could wipe out millions of jobs in germany the head of your association reckons hafele jobs could disappear in the next couple decades how's that going to hit small and medium sized businesses it will affect all kinds of businesses the big ones the small ones and all the medium sized ones but i think what is important. even if fifty percent of the now existing jobs will go away there will be new jobs on the rise like a data scientist no one knew

a couple of years ago so it's not that fifty percent of the jobs will go away but rather jobs are changing how do you get that balance right though that the job losses the new jobs rather are actually jobs for those who lose their jobs because we're talking about high skilled jobs and a lot of the people who are going to lose their jobs from lower skilled areas. yeah that's a very important point and i think the most important factor for this is education education start in school but education that targets already workers in the market right now so there are need to be a lot more programs to train those workers with new technologies so that for example i can use mixed reality to do construction work which i could not do before so i think education is key and when it comes to the us i mean

is a day ahead of the game because i've heard time and again that they're not ready that slow to digitise and it gives me the feeling that they're going to be left behind in this game well for example we have little happen they should have certain hops in germany that create work spaces for startups and those as an east so i think those or eco systems where they can. challenge themselves and. get to better speed because then click the german id association become thank you very much for joining us thank you according to frankfurt has rejected a deal to drop charges against the head of deutsche of birds the company that runs germany's biggest stock exchange in frankfurt casting is facing charges of insider trading after buying millions of euros worth of deutsche opposer shares that was before merger plans with the london stock exchange were publicly announced sending

those shares up in value the settlement would have seen can get in the company pay a combined eleven million euro fine but it now seems the trial will go ahead as talk about this with our financial correspondent who's at the frankfurt stock exchange daniel why did the court reject the settlement do you reckon. well first i can tell you that i was actually talking to a lawyer a little bit earlier and he has been telling me that this is a very unusual case that is taking place right now because out of the nine of ten cases when there is a settlement basically in discussion the chord usually agrees actually to it and in this case the court was clearly is saying that this case is a so important which most likely is going to mean that he was really involved in this insider trading case and more about you know the president rather than the money that was in volved i'm not sure what you're getting at but how much did can get a stand to profit from these shares that he got. well remember when the two

stock exchanges were flirting the frankfurt stock exchange and the laundered stock exchange by that time he was buying shares worth of four point five million euros we know at the end his marriage you know never happened if and what of if it would have happened he would have had made a lot of money and it's going to get even more difficult for him now his contract is due in in march two thousand and eighteen and we're hearing that maybe already by this week there could be a final decision about his future we are hearing from insiders that on thursday there is going to be a board meeting here at the stock exchange where they will be discussing the future of casting can get and most likely deciding if there's going to be a contract for him in the future or not daniel cole thanks for the update of fifteen minutes of business next hour fills us in sport yes indeed on her thank you will start with football the german cup return stay with minnows magdeburg looking

to observe the holders at dortmund not to burckhardt huge success in previous decades and the one nine hundred seventy four became the only east german team to win the european trophy more recently though they have dropped down the leagues and are currently in the third division so dortmund's visit is a chance for them to relive the glory days. faces the game of his career his team welcomes dortmund and while the current bunch is legal aid is a clear favorite for the match battle hopes the club can use their underdog status to spring a surprise image of at the forefront and nobody expects anything from us we can enjoy this game it's sold out the floodlights will be a little bit loud in the stadium and the fans will push a song and we've got to take that energy and use it. was a footballing powerhouse back in the east german league but those days are long gone now the state of saxony and how it has no teams in the top two legs the game against dortmund is a red chance of footballing glory for the region the tradition started sensational

that we've managed to get ourselves a game against dortmund we're really excited and there are plenty of other people in saxony and help her excited. there are last year's opponents aren't in the best of form dormant have taken just one point from their last two league games and continue to disappoint in europe. coach peter bush is frustrated but sees the mark to bear game as a potential turning point. and how at the start of the season we scored every half chance now even obama is missing big chances the little things like that decide games you can see here and i'm certain that if we can be back to back tomorrow it will help us in the bundesliga to. i win for not to be the biggest since their victory over by and in the cup in two thousand and provide the great underdog story of this season. finally to grace to a limpia in fact where the torch has been lit for the eighteenth the winter olympics in south korea thousands attended the ceremony and cloudy skies in what
