this is deja vu news live from berlin taking a stand against right wing extremists i love michael condemns the violence of recent demonstrations against migrants in eastern germany and says there can be no justification for hatred towards people who look different from the far right opposition accuses her of ignoring the concerns of its supporters. also coming out in european parliament votes so whether on whether to punish hungering for undermining european values prime minister viktor orban accuses the e.u. of blackmail. and people in the southeast of the united states are bracing for the

worst hurricane in six decades almost two million residents have been ordered ordered by still evacuated as the storm barrels towards the carolinas and virginia . i'm sumi so much drama good to have you with us chancellor angela merkel said there is no excuse for using nazi slogans and attacking minorities in german society she was addressing parliament two weeks after demonstrations against migrants by right wing extremists turned violent in eastern germany the largest opposition party the far right a.s.d. accused of ignoring the concerns of people worried about migration one member of the government accused a.s.d. of using fascist language. as angela merkel arrived in parliament today it was already clear that this wouldn't be a normal address to the bundestag at the forefront was the recent far right

violence in eastern germany she started her speech with a strong call for a common togetherness against exclusion and incitement is good and surely there's no excuse and justification for incitement partially use of violence nazi hatred hostility towards people who look to friend own a jewish restaurant attacks on police and conceptual arguments about whether it's hate or hunts really don't help us. if they think it's. the largest opposition party in the bundestag the far right alternative for germany a.f.d. has drawn its own conclusions blaming foreigners a migrants for germany's problems. when it's going to the chancellor merkel you have nothing more to offer this country and its citizens except stubbornness arrogance and insults your barricading yourself in the chancellery

further away from reality i repeat my question who in danger is the inner peace of this country not us. as emotions reached boiling point some politicians weren't about to allow hate in parliament products in comparisons to nazi germany. and the migrants are to blame for everything that is there's been a similar addiction in this house before and i think it's time for the democrats in this country to oppose this kind of rhetorical armament which in the end leads to despair. the result of which is violence in the streets. it's time for democracy to stand up against these people mr president. live the dispute over the basic values of german democracy. and in the center of it all the german chancellor and her mind gratian policy. while our chief political editor michelle or krisna has been following today's events at the bundestag for us hi michelle and this was

supposed to be a debate about the budget what was it actually about. well there was very little time that was indeed spent about the budget it really was in the end about the far right party as we just heard trying to make this about the migration course about four against migration and at the same time a very stern message from pretty much all other parties that they feel that this is about the very essence of democracy in germany where the whether you are for or against democracy whether you for you are for or against the rule of law here and there was a clear message that if you find yourself standing next to somebody who makes a hitler salute in a demonstration you are more than just touched with this kind of symbolism which of course is a crime here in germany so it was about everything but the budgets of me and michelle of this controversy surrounding those demonstrations in cannes that's how has that damage the chancellor standing. well it certainly has and this has damaged

her own position even within her own government the opening sentence almost of the far right if tea party due to xander garland was a quote from going to merkel's own interior minister called migration the mother of all political problems so clearly there's a sense that on that issue they feel they have an ally there and what almost gets lost in all of this is that this is supposed to be about what the future holds what future policies there are and there we heard from the german chancellor almost buried in her speech today that that admission that there were mistakes made in the migration crisis particularly not supporting the regions around iraq and syria stopping people from coming and that yet another crisis could be looming unless the german government and the europe as a whole makes africa a priority so these are the this is the big overarching issue but

a lot of that gets drowned out by the noise over the current migration policy particular by the far right f.t. show we should say the other big topic on the agenda today is the head of germany's domestic intelligence service and he is under a lot of pressure remind us why he's under fire and what is facing him today. well the opposition clearly sees him as trying to act against the german chancellor this is seen by some as an attempt to bring her down potentially together with interior minister horsy office so speculation here is rife about that after mass and questioned whether there were indeed hunts in the street these hunting scenes that were quoted by the german chancellor herself also questioning whether a video that was used as evidence and is still being used as criminal evidence was in fact real footage now he doesn't seem to be producing anything to the contrary so he's not really backing up his findings from what we've learned so far he will face some questioning here both from the interior committee of the german born this

talk and also the committee which talks about the secret service here so these are very decisive hours about what the future will hold for him and what the future holds for relations between under the market and her own interior minister all right our chief political editor michelle the bundestag for us thank you. now in his last major speech before leaving office next year european commission president john clarke has urged europe to become more of a global player giving his state of the union address to the european parliament and strasburg called for stronger external borders and a shared approach to tackling migration he pledged to ensure an orderly exit for britain he also proposed measures to crackdown on terrorism and election meddling and urged member states to resist nationalist tendencies with the e.u. facing some major challenges ahead younger said the bloc was strongest when it acted together. so.

when we are united we are a force to be reckoned with so you probably cannot avoid. so i don't think we've. some in europe were happy with the agreement i reached as president trump. some more surprise. they shouldn't be surprised whenever europe speaks as one we can impose our positions on others. so it was it was a. lot of well one issue where the e.u. was less than united this hungary lawmakers are voting on whether to punish the government and put a pass for undermining core e.u. values is two thirds vote yes and the e.u. council approves hungary could be stripped of its voting rights and unprecedented move but the outcome of the vote depends on the center right european peoples party

and they are divided. the hungary and prime minister took the initiative he travelled to strasbourg to in his own words defend hungary. that we don't know personally after i have come here today because you're not going to condemn just the government but a nation as well. you are going to denounce hungary that has been a member of the family of christian european nations for a thousand years get us to know it all for you. it is the entire nation being condemned the majority of politicians don't believe so including the hungary and really explained to nobody attacking hungary what is head in the in the european parliament this is the critique of the politics of the current government she unlike poland already facing a new sanctions hungary has so far been spared european green m.e.p. units are containing believes this is political videsh the political party is

member of the european peoples party and they have friends in commission council and in parliament. german conservative m.e.p. manfred of a bar is in a difficult position he leads the european peoples party and takes a much softer stance on migration than the hardline or. if the so you generally but you have to be afraid about muslims and generally take a religion then you do the job of the cio just we have invented human rights and not christian rights. with even his own political allies wavering hungary's premier viktor or bonus facing a tense wait for the vote in the european parliament. let's catch up now on some other stories making news around the world russia's president vladimir putin says russia has identified the two men suspected of poisoning a former spy and his daughter in england he says they are civilians and there was
