i mean. this is d w news live from berlin a new poll revealing a shocking finding about voters in eastern germany and if an election was held in this sunday the far right alternative for germany would be ahead of actual americans conservatives in the east but as the a.s.d.f. anti immigration rhetoric intensifies two thirds of germans want the party put under surveillance. also coming up the white house who dunnit everyone's asking who's behind the anonymous new york times op ed piece and everyone's denying it

even the vice president plus no more food on the go one european city wants to ban the burger king which city is it and why does it want to banish fast food. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program a nation divided over migration a new explosive opinion poll shows that germany that at the far right in the country is now the largest political force in the country's east for the first time the anti immigrant alternative for germany or a.f.d. is more popular than angela merkel's conservatives this is the first nationwide survey since a spate of violent protests in the eastern city of cabinets a fatal knife attack allegedly committed by asylum seekers through thousands of far right protesters and neo nazis on to the streets and on main street. parties accuse

the a.f.d. of instrumental lies and violence for its own political end now it seems that most germans think the populist party harbors dangerous extremist tendencies the nationwide survey asked if in germany's domestic intelligence agencies should put the f.t. under surveillance and the verdict very clear two thirds of those polled say they want the f.t. monitored. so let's drill down into the details here we are joined by political correspondent nina so nina. we have some some interesting trends here we have the a.f.d. the biggest party in the east and yet most germans wanted under observation as a domestic threat how do you reconcile that because it seems to really paint a picture of a divided nation it almost sounds like a contradiction but it isn't like you say he is now according to this poll the strongest party in the country's east but the same poll shows that he has lost one

percentage point in the west so that does paint the picture of a divided nation and there will have to be a lot of soul searching as to why that is why those messages of this anti immigrant party are so popular especially in the form a commune east germany so if you look at what's happening there of course the conservatives are losing big time. posing a massive threat to the conservative bloc especially in the east and we will probably see that trend confirmed in the state elections that are coming up in three states next year and there's one issue where the f.d.a. we have to mention is really getting a lot of political mileage we saw for example after you know they can it's violence locals accusing law enforcement of losing control and this again an area where in this survey we see a divide between east and let's let's have a look because when people were asked about the rule of law how it works in germany almost three quarters in the west said that they agree that it does indeed work but

in the former communist east around half of those surveyed said that they didn't trust the rule of law. so it's very clear that many people here in the east they think that the police have lost control i mean how does that compare though with reality is there a problem with law and order in the east there is a general mistrust in authorities i would say you also see it when people were asked about what they think about the performance of the media of politicians in general there's a big that's going on and again there will have to be a lot of soul searching as to why that is maybe some of the institutions. that role is not quite clear to some people in the east let's not forget the system broke down thirty years ago maybe some people just really weren't transported into the new system but of course this is something where you have to look at the reasons

and you have to look at the facts again in this whole debate very often people forget to look at the facts and the crime statistics say that in germany we have currently the lowest crime rates in thirty years also my crime is down it went down by twenty three percent from twenty sixteen to twenty seventeen and this is after this big influx of refugees in twenty fifty and that is something that people and perhaps the west of the country seem to be very aware of because overall in germany we saw that they has not gained as much traction in fact it's the third largest party in the country so i'd like to just quickly gauge the mood in the west of the country do a bit of a comparison here because you actually went to bavaria to see what kind of reception one of the members got there and the results were quite interesting we found beyond hooka and here is what happened when he took his campaign rally to the west. raising

a red card against far right wing politics presidents in a small but they're in town a using the soccer penalty card to show their rejection of extremism and racism a month ahead of the bavarian state election almost a thousand people in the town of painting and up of area a gathered in front of the local town hall. they're chanting nazis get out in protest against a campaign rally by the far right a f d posse tonight speaker. a leader of the extreme right wing of the f.t. who's well known for his controversial statements. the town citizens say they refused to surrender their town hall to politicians like her and the f.t. party so whenever they disagree with something said by the politician they raise a red card. others just walked out.

you have someone who's good. i couldn't take it any longer but this lack of respect for other parties and politicians and the statements again sent to live politics was going to the things they say shouldn't be repeated it shows that this party has nothing to do with democratic politics i hope a lot of people see it the same way. his. speech is disrupted and the protester bundled out of the room who was quick to exploit the situation this is not anyone who doesn't love germany should leave germany. it's a statement that shows that the political divisions in this small the varian town that is also a reflection of the increasingly polarized politics across the whole of germany. the scene there in bavaria and we see how divisive immigration around germany is

and it's also an issue that politicians and the german capital berlin are struggling to get a handle on celeb see how the one percent said no the government was not doing a good enough job. and for more on that let's bring back in nina because you know german chancellor angela merkel how much pressure does this put her and her government under. we've seen it for the last couple of months this current government is under tremendous pressure especially when it comes to this topic migration let's not forget her government almost collapsed over this issue just a few weeks ago because there is now a bit of protest from within her own party from her own interior minister horse who has low at the threshold he put it this way to xenophobia speech in certain areas he's trying clearly trying to win back some of those a of the voters and he is

challenging uncle machall over her own refugee policy and actually i'm going back on horsy who have become somewhat the figureheads of those two streams within the conservative bloc and the conservative blog will have to decide which is which stream actually will win because i'm going machall stands for a pragmatic approach where as hosts says we've got to win back the if the vote says and they swill be a big test the report mentioned the bavarian elections in mid october so the whether the f.t. will succeed that and how big it will how strongly it will fad there indeed in the very elections will send out a strong message to the government in berlin and it will be a powerful gauge and just to remind our viewers again the gauge that we just had the in for testing a map survey showing a nation divided over migration as of putting it all into perspective for us thank you. now let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world one of the

frontrunners and brazil's presidential election year old son is in stable but critical condition after being stabbed in the abdomen the far right politician was attacked while campaigning in the city of joeys just what our. security forces in the southern iraqi city of basra say that demonstrators have set fire to the main local government building despite a curfew imposed by authorities people have been protesting for days over the city in the city excuse me over collapsing infrastructure power cuts and corruption. u.s. president donald trump has urged reporters from the new york times to investigate the identity of the author of a sensational opinion piece that is fueling suspicion at the white house the newspaper published a piece by an anonymous senior trump administration official who claims that there is an inside resistance working to frustrate his agenda the washington rumor mill has gone into overdrive and it's nile's are coming thick and fast. a day after the

story broke the denials began. white house counsel donegan was one of many who quickly distanced themselves from the incendiary new york times editorial that. the author claims to be part of a resistance that is working to prevent trump's most dangerous impulses from with in the administration during his visit to india secretary of state to mike pompei you struggled to find the right words when asked whether or not he had written the opinion piece. so it shouldn't surprise anyone. that the new york times a. liberal newspaper that has attacked this administration read what was likely. chose to print such a piece many suspect vice president mike pence of being the mystery writer based on

some of the distinctive language used in the article but pence is sure the president of his loyalty. will look anyone who would write an anonymous editorial. that sneering at this president has provided extraordinary leadership in this country should not be working for this administration they ought to do the honorable thing and they ought to resign the president himself demanded the new york times name its anonymous source he also suggested the publication was an act of treason. house minority leader nancy pelosi criticized trump's fellow republicans for not speaking out against him openly that president has to know that when a president speaks his words weigh a ton so with some in the white house think that correcting this behind the scenes is. a consolation i don't think it's good enough while the search for the source in the white house continues the author's motive remains the other

big question. sports news now with ed mccambridge from day to be a sports desk in germany have started their rebuilding process after the world cup debacle with a goal this draw against france in the new nations league tournament what a match ed let's break it down because you know this is supposed to be a new era for the germany team at least it's been branded in that way so how did it go well exactly as you said this was a very difficult some of the germany so this was an opportunity to lay some of those demons to rest is a new format. and the team walked out basically to a heart shaped display of flags from the fans was very sweet gesture for a team which really hasn't seen much love throughout the summer but they were on the back foot for much of the game it wasn't pretty at times neither side really destroyed. but this was an opportunity for germany to rejig to bring in some fresh faces and to try and instill a sense of purpose off the as we said

a very difficult summer and other world cup and of course what everyone is always talking about is lessons learned from the german team where does the team where does the coach go from here so what do you think that you are will take from this well i think there are plenty of positives to take i mean this was a solid performance against the reigning world cup champions there was no sign of that leaky defense which plagued them in russia they were compact they were well organized they built admirably with a very talented group of french players. and as we said this game is all about confidence and as we're about to hear from germany coach you know it was a satisfying evening for the national team. it was the spirit of the so we were very conscious that this match was a particularly important one after a disappointing world cup and that the team had to show a different face a different way of playing for how they did that. too much of quality guitar. ok so one match down another one coming up on sunday against peru what does germany

need to do there well as i've said they were very well organized in this game but they want quite as good going forward so i think farms are going to really want to see an exciting forms from germany peru long obviously quite the same level of opposition as france and not the reigning world champion so this is an opportunity to get on the ball to try and dominate to get fans off the seats it be lovely if we can see a few of the players like you i saw me that didn't make the world cup squad in there from the start of course an excitement some young players some fresh faces and i think they can be expected to dominate to sort of dominate this game. and i think they need a big performance now to really get the fans back on board and to get in a different headspace probably as well as mccambridge from database for us thank you so much. on now in western germany environmental activists are clashing with a coal mine operator over the future of a forest police have moved in to secure the forest ahead of logging next month but activists say that they will soon launch a campaign of massive civil defense disobedience the words contain centuries old

beach and oak trees and a protected species of fact their mission is to chop down germany's most controversial woodland humbucker forest the energy giant r.w. each wants to clear the remaining timber to make way for open cast coal mining there's not much left of the origin of the four thousand hectare forest the next part of the operation is due in a few weeks' time. but there's huge opposition if you squatters began the protest six years ago now more than hundred young environmental activists a living here in three houses determined to see if the forest. several hundred police officers moved into humber forest in order to expel dozens of activists and protesters who have been living here for years they live here and three houses in order to protect the forest from being cleared and they keep resisting. most of the squatters prefer not to give their names. one of them this force wouldn't be here

without the protesters been going on for the past six years and that's enough motivation for me to keep on fighting. the few activists stand firm before the police and clearance workers this man held out on the barricades made from two three trunks for hours before being forcibly removed. the shock for the a sound that activists who've come here from all around germany. what we've just seen dragging someone by the hair giving them an eye injury that's shocking treatment for someone who's come here for a good cause it leaves me feeling sad and loss for words mcclish what was most. curiosity brought medical students sophie to her mother forest a week ago but she's been so affected by what she has seen that she wants to stay as long as it takes to save the forest another student new york sees it the same

way. you talk about was that it was mind was the biggest source of c o two in europe germany always says it's working to protect the environment but it ultimately does nothing instead and ancient forest is being cut down to set our w.e.e.e. this madness will only exacerbate the catastrophe of climate change for good scheme . in june the german government convened a commission to come up with a timetable by the end of the year for phasing out coal that could unravel several members are threatening to resign if r.w. egos ahead with clearing the forest next month. activists still hoping to persuade our w.e.e.e. to give up on cutting down the forest but the company is sticking to its plans the clearance teams and their equipment are set to move in. a somber note now and burt reynolds the star of the seventy's classics deliverance and smokey and the bandits has died of a heart tito's next film is

a look back at his life. the original macho man. complete with cowboy hat and mustache the world loved him but most of all the girls burt reynolds was the sex symbol of the seventy's he was one of the first men who disrobe for a fashion magazine and this cemented his image adventurous quick witted and charming like in smokey and the bandit his most successful film critic you know. as you say was. his daredevil stunts helped build his reputation reynolds was part of talian part irish but also part cherokee indian the critics waited to give their seal of approval until the movie deliverance came out. but reynolds took things into his own hands when he began directing films himself and he stayed true to his image as mover and shaker is leading ladies were some of the most famous actresses of the time like katherine dinner he lived the life of

a hollywood star sometimes earning millions then declaring bankruptcy demi moore was by his side when he celebrated his comeback in the film striptease he played a corrupt southern politician with elegance and irony but audiences love to most as a stunt man this even earned him a prize in two thousand and seven years and gentlemen welcome to the greatest of the great throat rebels. you know. i'm told no lifetime achievement award to secure. burt reynolds was a nine hundred eighty super star one of the few who embodied the lifestyle of this decade. and now it's over to helena and we're talking business we're talking of potential crisis here looming in some developing economies right right sara i mean wherever you look right now in terms of the emerging market seems that what was once a beacon of hope is essentially having a meltdown especially if you take

a look at their currencies which in the using value dramatically i mean if you take a look at the turkish near of the argentine peso south africa's rand and uneasy is repay a while just to name a few currency traders will have to have strong nerves but of course it's far worse for the people living in those countries. the supermarket in the turkish city of dia but here things used to be a lot busier here but rising prices are hitting sales because the u.s. we're forced to increase the prices of the new products we buy we raise the prices in accordance with the profit margin of course our people no longer have as much purchasing power used to be able to fill a shopping cart for two hundred lire but now it costs them three hundred to three hundred twenty five percent of the. price as a climbing because the turkish lira has lost so much value against the dollar in the first half of this year it plummeted by a stunning seventy two percent. south africa's economy is also stuttering that

country's currency the rand has lost a full thirty percent against the dollar south africa is now considered just being in recession following two quarters of falling g.d.p. . india is also not fairing too well right now the rupee has lost ten percent against the dollar since march this year but argentina's been the worst hit so far austerity measures have unleashed wave upon wave of anti-government demonstrations the unions take to the streets of corners ariz on an almost daily basis argentina's paizo has lost eighty six percent in value against the dollar over the last six months. and we're joined now by holocaust meeting chief economist at bear and bag of bank good to have you with us today to talk us through the ten while that we're seeing in emerging markets firstly what is driving this crisis. there are two things that are driving this crisis the first is that many emerging markets simply had times that were too good to be true too good to last in recent years so there

is some belt tightening there is necessary and secondly what we also see that those emerging markets that have significant debt in u.s. dollars and significant current account deficits those are struggling at a time when the u.s. federal reserve bank is raising interest rates it's interesting that you mention the u.s. federal reserve there as contributing to some of this crisis and so it's not actually this time trade policy trumps trade policy that is causing this turmoil. he contributes a little bit here and there but it is not one of the major causes of this particular turmoil for instance drums tweets against turkey do play you wrote in the extent of the devaluation of the turkish lira but they're really not the reason for that and how real is the risk of contagion to other markets there is some risk of contagion however contagion to be confined to those emerging markets that are

fairly vulnerable again the vulnerable ones are those with significant dollar debt and with significant current account deficits which means they are to some extent living beyond their means other countries such as those which have little dollar debt and which are exporting more than they import those other countries should be mostly safe i think we do have to ask the question as well you know we're not just talking about emerging economies but what is the risk to for example european union countries germany for example. the emerging market crisis will probably cause a bit of a dent in growth in heavily export dependent countries such as germany quite a few others in europe and possibly in japan but at the same time the single biggest export market for most countries namely the united states is expanding rapidly thanks to the tax cuts which we've seen over there so in many cases more exports to the us through largely offset the decline in exports to quite a few emerging markets holger schmieding what's the remedy the remedy is that the

world or about emerging markets need to tighten their belts they especially need to regain credibility they need to raise interest rates to attract some money and they need to desist from stupid policies such as the fight which turkey is seems to be picking with quite a few people including people in the european union and the us president bush meeting chief economist at bear on back bank thank you very much you're welcome. now in some cities street food is all the rage but if you had it to florence to grab a slice of pizza with a view perhaps of the polite soviet air you might have to think again the city is joining remove venice in restricting where when tourists can eat false food on the street. it's a beautiful day in florence masterpieces over in a sense architecture everywhere and everywhere tourists munching fast food anywhere

they can find a seat the locals say they're a nuisance tourists say they have no choice there's not a lot of place to have a lot of seats and table so sitting on the street is the only solution. but that may soon come to an end the city will now issue fines of up to five hundred euros to people eating on the streets of the city's historic center. many restauranteurs say it's high time. at santee has long objected to tourists eating fast food in front of his restaurant. yes. i like this new law and i think that everything that's done by retailers institutions citizens in order to improve the streets receives our support of. the food. but restaurant owners are losing income is only one of the problems brought in by florence's plague of fast food tourists they also leave a mountain of rubbish in their wake roman venice have already taken action. we're

going to with the fact that these rules are not practical for tourists we can't eat at a restaurant every day we get a sandwich to save time. the new rules are posted prominently in florence as tourist areas but the city will soon see if its hardline will learn to rest respect . you're watching. the top of the hour.
