a big political correspondent kate brady to have it here so i want to begin first by listening to just a little bit of what the chancellor said about democracy during that interview i will get back to the makati democracy is more than just someone winning the majority democracy also means protecting minorities freedom of the press the ability to assemble freely and independent. if the then these were not only dependents of the country's institutions is no longer preserved the democracy itself is no longer complete. so kate back to the chancellor very much stressing the need to uphold democratic principles why is this coming up now well this really has come off the back of a few recent events of course when it comes to upholding respect in the decisions made by independent institutions that's come off several deportations which have taken place recently despite administrative courts ruling that those deportation

shouldn't in fact take place and so there is still a debate going on as to how these mistakes can be avoided in the future in germany at the moment and then at the same time you have this question about the freedom of press here in germany and that came in the back of again another ongoing debate after a t.v. crew was actually questioned by police when they were filming at a far right rally and it turned out that of course the media outlet wasn't in fact breaking any laws or so because merkel reiterated this again saying that a poll that the individual independence of these institutions of the freedom of the press is really an integra part of making sure that democracy is also upheld in germany something else that also came up which i thought was interesting she was asked whether she still views herself as a climate chancellor dishes to live up to that title. it's questionable whether she ever lived up to that title but it's no secret the german government has already

said that it's not going to meet its twenty twenty climate goals germany has already received some warnings from the e.u. over air quality and pollution in germany but it seems maybe this heat wave that we've had here in germany like many parts of europe this summer could now be a wakeup call that germany is now experiencing firsthand the effects of climate change with drought and forest fires and also bad harvests crumble in infrastructure so this is this heat wave could now be that wake up call for handling climate change in germany another thing that's heating up is the conversation we've been governing coalition about pension reform which also featured very heavily in this interview obviously it's not the first coalition dispute that we're seeing in recent days can this can these two convince coalition somehow end up on the same page the same voice but it was always going to be difficult it took a good six months for this coalition to even come about and it was social issues

such like this with pensions and social welfare work laws that really made the two sides struggle in coming together and forging that coalition earlier in the gear so it is going that way are likely to see more disputes like this coming over the next legislative period that we're currently in and of course we specially when it comes to social issues that are always going to be miles apart when it comes to conservatives and the social democrats particularly right now when both sides of this coalition are also trying to reinvent themselves already for the next election in twenty twenty one kid brady thank you for your analysis. pope francis has said mass to a huge crowd in dublin on the last day of his visit to ireland he repeated his faithful forgiveness for the catholic church which has been rocked by a series of sex abuse scandals he said it had to take family and decisive action in
