less traveled over two hundred kilometers from canada to join the demonstration in berlin at home she's a volunteer helping migrants. he's been here mckenzie in it and i'm here along with many others who believe we must have an open and free society that doesn't just mean demanding that it means actively doing something about it and then have the death of us to tour. the sheer number of people who turned out she demonstrates shows how deep the concern is about the rice a frightening populism in germany. yet you know i've got people here don't want to let bing demonstrators take over the streets it's already defeated major demonstration instrument is since the end of september it's against racism and against social exclusion recently tens of thousands of people demonstrated in hamburg and to munich under the macho or some of solidarity

. it was at the home of demonstration and search of the streets at home and can that's when the far right held rallies fair for her it's a question of basic human rights. yet when we say that we need an open and free society dead means for us that everyone has equal rights yes oh yes it was. wrote us and they moved to germany from lebanon seventeen years ago she says she often experiences racism in her everyday life most precious says what percent about preserving democratic freedoms over that there is eilat beauty is what you want and you don't really want nor is it in the old you know discrimination on the basis of green cost six anything that's that comforting fighting against the far right against fascism against a disgusting revival official as much as is the entire we are all wrong democratic society that. i'm here. says people shouldn't only protest against the far right on

a sunny day in october but on all the other days of the year as well. staying in germany a political seismic shift is expected in tomorrow's state election and bavaria opinion polls shows support for the once mighty c.s.u. collapsing but voters are also rejects in the traditional opposition that is speedy and all turning in states to smaller parties such as the greens and the far right alternative for germany it's a vote that will likely have ramifications for germany's national coalition in bergen. the upcoming election and varia instills hope in some fear in others the mood around burdens high stack is growing tends to varia is hundreds of kilometers away from here but parties in berlin expect an earthquake that could shake up german politics as

a whole. inside that ice that building all parties are busy carrying out internal meetings the conservative parties are especially nervous. that. angle america's christian democratic union form a parliamentary group with their bavarian sister party the christian social union. they are bracing for disastrous results the c.s.u. has never been as low in opinion polls as it is now. does a lot in alarm bell we have to make efforts to strengthen the traditional parties again we have to work on getting the core of society excited about politics again guys that those most excited about politics are outside that core the far right a fifty party might enter the bavarian parliament. but i'm going to good mood of

course we expected to get forty percent of the vote and the greens are also expected to do well the general trend sees smaller parties gaining from the larger parties losses the social democrats are also using voters. the blame game will almost certainly begin after the poor results the two big centrist parties are projected to get and many will point in this direction and hold chancellor america responsible for the decline of their parties that america's current government was formed just seven months ago the toughest period might lie ahead following. the bavarian election. all right let's cross to munich now the chief political editor michelle kootenay is covering the election for us there michelle does this also pose a potential risk for magical yes it does i'm standing outside the state parliament behind me which is becoming somewhat

of a testing ground of how solid the conservative support here but various still is the serious you sister party for decades has been very safe conservative territory even that is being shaken up now and it's almost you referred to an earthquake well we know the time and the date we don't know the exact magnitude so that's the big question that will be answered by the voters here in bavaria tomorrow we know that . well almost half of them might still be undecided so this is mainly a fight for the turnout and that's also how the c.s.u. conservatives here have handled it and that's also the hope that they're clinging to still. michel we know that the c.s.u. has been in power for decades and our latest polls say the party will lose its majority what changes will this vote have on the region and beyond. well it would basically force them to form a coalition something they've only had to do before once really and they don't want

to do that power sharing is not in the political d.n.a. of the conservative says you sister party here in bavaria of anglo-american will see to you and this is you also takes on a special role it's within a party union with german chancellor angela merkel's party it always has a somewhat stronger voice than the other fifteen states in germany and it's also seen as yet another threshold for the far right a fifty which looks pretty safe to enter the fifteen out of sixteen state parliaments here in germany with those regional elections in hesse's still to go in two weeks time and those might be the real test how much under threat are going to medical support base is because this trauma here is already factored in very quickly michel in the far and if he is likely to enter the board with the various state parliament for the first time why have they managed to go not such support in the region. well this is an interesting question i mean it really is is it the

weakness of the conservative c is you or is it the strength of the f.t. it's polling at around ten percent here yes that is a strong so in particular in comparison to the established social democrats which are also around that territory these days in the polls at the same time the f.t. is a lot weaker than it is in several eastern states so it will be an interesting question to see how accurate those polls are in the end. reporting for us in munich thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world u.s. prison donald trump has met with the american pastor freed from turkish to tension on friday andrew bronson was arrested two years ago on terrorism charges he's case caused a serious friction between washington and for president trump ses the pastor's release marks a tremendous step forward in u.s. turkish relations. health officials in gaza say israeli troops have killed seven
