with the system now they've found another outlet for their horrible antidemocratic attitudes it's just a terrible terrible thing we were much too lenient on them after reunification but i mean you actually that's exactly the point this is the thing that you sermons resent if you travel to saxony to them democracy didn't deliver on their expectations of what they. promised and the last thing they want right now from politicians is to be elected on how democratic they are and whether their opinion is valid or not and this is exactly what leads to such broad support. for the far right whether you agree with it or not it's a phantom phenomenon and i think that they do it they want their experiences to be validated they want these broken biographies as you call them to be to be seen by the mainstream of germany and mainstream media to just be part of germany

and be seen as like part of it and the. we're sort of cast off fly over country but i just want to ask one thing about a point that is often asserted in connection with political attitudes and support for the f.t. namely the idea that it reflects the communist area era socialization of order germans and even a kind of nostalgia for an easier time do you think that's true yeah definitely and i also think that germans weren't good democrats in the fifty's they weren't good democrats in the sixty's they had the economic wonder that's the tough one and that's how that went on until the seventy's and so that's how they became democrats of because the u.s. forced it upon them and then they had a good good experience with demarc democracy so it's stuck sort of you know to put

it in a nutshell but and that didn't and that didn't happen in eastern germany obviously they got all this money they got all this restructuring of infrastructure of streets and so forth but they didn't have the experience and they did they were the creators of this well they were whether well yeah but but i think that that's part of the problem we've got is that it isn't the reason they have a right to let me just make the cut here because we do have a little report that will allow us to dig a bit deeper on the economic aspects of unification and perhaps many remember during the election campaign that directly followed the fall of the berlin wall then chancellor helmut kohl promised east germans that they would see their region blossom now unemployment has fallen dramatically since the ninety's wages and salaries are rising and many of the region cities are booming yet ongoing dissatisfaction very much is driving support for right wing populism.

november 9th 1989 the berlin wall comes down and the iron curtain. clearly 11 months later germany is reunified. with the flourishing landscapes the leaders promised haven't materialized instead eastern german industry has been languishing more than a 1000000 eastern germans are out of work. western germany still dominates the economy not a single tax listed corporation is based in the east. 2015 the refugee crisis brings feelings of discontent in the east to critical mass. increasingly migrants are seen as competitors for both jobs and social benefits. 2000000000 euros of investment are helping the east to catch up with the west clutch at around 70 percent unemployment is still above the average in the. eastern germans 2nd class

citizens. and i think without question to michelle there are eastern german 2nd class citizens the question that ma says when individuals go into a polling booth is whether they feel that they are 2nd class citizens and saxony is the economically most successful eastern state and that's where the a if t. is likely to come out and potentially strongest policy that's where the c.d.u. is now they're about there's a margin of 56 percent said you is ahead they're getting a bit more relaxed about it but where there is a real race between going to merkel's c.d.u. pasi region on the on the far right if t. so many feel 2nd class citizens it's a generational question very much as well but if you look at a map of how much disposable income there is you can still quite clearly see where the wall stood between east and west germany and that is where this entire part of

the. country locks behind that also can't put down a payment for their kids in central then as many west germans do and this has an impact on how people feel in the east and it's a very emotive election campaign that's a sore ellen i'm sure that many of our viewers and certainly all of us here will remember that famous bill clinton quote from one of his own election campaigns when he said it's the economy stupid meaning it always comes down to the pocketbook now here's another paradox in surveys is chairman express levels of personal economic satisfaction pretty much comparable with those in the west so what's going on here is this 2nd class feeling about something other than economics you know it's the economy stupid is a stupid phrase and should have known that. people vote but let's not go into that. it's the demography stupid look during before the war went up in

161 the educated people the doctors the university professors engineers they all left the country with their potential of spring then between 61 and the wall coming down 18 and anyone who was courageous enough to foot strong enough about democracy to leave chance did since 1900 people have seen chances in the west and gone there you have a brain drain a drain of people who feel for democracy with the civic spirit courage and what's left quite frankly they may be 1st class citizens as far as their rights a concern but no yes they are a negative selection of the german population let's face it that's stupider than the us and that's why more of them are voting for stupid policies so i don't i don't think that's true and i also know i'm very willing there in the past few years that i've actually been migration back to eastern germany and at that.

growing well yes because well because they need people don't they who are not so stupid we have been there not allowing immigration in regarding this huge influx of people with the get up and go spirit from syria from africa to this and then we don't want them because that they don't they want to stew in their own juice and they feel happy like that they're like little englanders they're like the trump supporters they people who are a negative so that there's going to have to be a demographic solution to this because thank goodness. some young people are going back to these and maybe they have. a better view of things let me just let me just ask you this certainly there has been massive deep population in some areas of the east and a number of surveys show a correlation between support for the far right and areas where do population has occurred and that is not confined to germany alone we're seeing a similar phenomenon in the u.s. and other places where there is increasing support for the right wing but here's

another paradox for me in precisely the same areas there is a great deal of resentment against migration when in fact those areas theoretically need immigration more than any other places in the country valerie how would you explain that i'm stuck but i don't understand it either i and i also don't understand the inherent racism that that is privy to most of these places so i feel like i really don't understand that also because. the eastern german. you'd think a lot of them understand hell the west helped eastern germany after the fall of the wall so maybe they could be more open to migration but that is clearly not the case i think it's you know studies have shown that if you don't have migration you're more critical to at eastern germany didn't have migration and that from the

socialistic brother countries. those were those were only a few and they were very much kept separate from the public so they weren't even allowed to really interact so there was never any basis of sort of understanding of multiculturalism i think that's a big part michaud tell us a little bit about the role of the a.f.p. in connection with. anti migration sentiment in fact it's become an absolute signature issue for the a.f.p. what's driving that well because it's clearly resonated with voters on the opinion polls the being an anti euro party it then took a turn to the right and now to the very far right in pots and it was almost vanishing from the political scene when 2015 came around what became known as the migration crisis in germany you can video follow that line quite easily and they foster and the if do you just of will admit so in individual conversations

that that is the issue that made the big migration there on t. islam they've toned down the rhetoric to a certain degree because they discovered the opportunity of saying we are the real people picking up on slogans of those protests in 1989 and they are giving people a voice who feel that they couldn't be openly against foreigners and they couldn't open to be racist and that's certainly something whether the public debate in germany has a take. so the f.t. allan instrumental izing anti foreigner sentiment. for the sake of the issue itself or for the sake of political power and perhaps are so driving opposition to the so-called elite in berlin well you'd have to ask them wouldn't you. i mean i know some people like prince of x.

and the garland who is almost a friend of mine he's not an inherent racist but he uses it right on the other hand a what's his name. in interior india he is a racist through and through so and garlands working with them together in the same party i mean. look again people the found founder of the social democratic party said i'm to semitism is the socialism of the stupid guys and racism of all kinds is the socialism the stupid it's right it's pointing down to other people who are even below me in social status and declaring war on them and this is stupid right and and so an apology which appeals to stupid sentiment and gets 20 percent obviously thinks this is what if he thinks the 20 percent of the people in the east is stupid and if they get the election results then they'll be proved right but it's up to these germans move them wrong not up to us sitting here in the studio pontificating

but what does that make alexander go and then he let me say it's not horrible is that makes him a horrible opportunistic. person who's using that his own ends to get his own back on the american who's never he's never by the way he's german there are. true also there's a lot of innovation in the east i really don't want to let that stand the germans are more stupid than the western germans i don't think that's true of a high proportion of well there is the demography is different a lot of a lot of people who saw a chance of left they left that's what you said and and so there is there is the brain drain obviously and the ninety's were really hard and there were lots of nazis that weren't addressed in the in the g.d.r. and so there are all these issues and they're cumulating to what we're now seeing let me just ask you this because we're almost out of time and i'd like to at least briefly hear from all of you should the far right in fact make significant gains in

the elections on sunday what do governments at both regional and federal level need to be doing to stop this trend and i'm going to have to ask for the briefest of possible it's well they are a democratic party they need to be demystified by being seen what they are and that might see them in a regional government somewhere in the near future but they are no when me of being in power in central government i parties not to change the rules to avoid them that's also part of democracy thank you own can i just said agree certain that never happened but it's a lot of time for valerie. about 30 saying. well i think i do think that it's important that they don't they think don't get in power even in fact they are a bunch of books and i think that. the democratic party should have a little more faith in society and themselves and. i very much hope

that we're going to decline over the next couple of months and years thank you. much to all of you for being with us today and thanks to you out there for turning in hope to see yourself.

hello i'm kristie want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along with some fun stuff today scientists have just released images of what. could have looked like the reconstruction is based on a 3800000 year old skull fondant ethiopia which is you know often seen as the birthplace of mankind now announcing the scientific finding at his research discovery changes our understanding of how ancient humans evolved it's he and the far reaching of ethiopia more than 500 kilometers north of the capital at his ababa that this latest discovery was buried professor you had his haile selassie and his team found the ancient early human skull here in 2016 after only days of sifting through the sand 1st they spotted the all but job bones sticking out of the ground then one covered the rest of the fossil my 1st

instinct was this 2 pieces were perfectly joined i picked up the maxilla and i picked up the crimean and click perfect grim this call is 3800000 years old and about the size of a modern chimp and see it's the most complete one of that age ever found giving the scientists a chance to reconstruct how this early human ancestor might have looked. you hanna's haile selassie is one of the world's leading evolutionary scientists he says the find challenges ideas about how the 1st humans evolved from our apelike ancestors. this is really. a game changer in a lot of ways and answers questions that we've had lingering around for decades and . now from this beautiful specimen that we found that's because this new find has

some distinct differences to another ancient skeleton found here by that of lucy probably the most famous human fossil it's further proof that early humans were a diverse bunch with different species living in the same time period. scientists say with this discovery they can now finally put a face to the name of some of our earliest ancestors. now physical abuse of women is carty one of the most discussed topics in nigeria after s n it's a was caught on camera a few weeks ago brittany slapping a woman is now being investigated and faces possible dismissal from the a nigerian senate our correspondent at the ports on the devastating effects of violence against women in the country. fatima is a young single mother who has 3 children she wants to keep right there to see he do fatima says she endured beatings for my husband for 11 years of the ameri church

the most severe was when he beats her for taking the biggest fish in the ports as i was transferred to our goods and never return and now as i do for the family. if you're traveling it's. good to be in fatima was rushed to hospital by her neighbors the violence she suffered from her husband has scarred half forever but 5 as it gives women doesn't only happen in relationships and in the home it's much more widespread a few weeks ago this c.c.t.v. video triggered outrage dress pants news it shows in nigeria and sinitta slapping a woman more to prove times. i don't have. to man had intervened in an argument he was having with the shop owner the

case is now in courts experts say this proves how commonplace violence against women and file is in the whom he's in nigeria. who wears the following this is proving that it's us skyrockets. warm out of every $54.00. here's why you find out so far from the best advice. doc told to marquis says people are more open about reporting violence against women and seeking help these days but it seems usually prefer to settle out of court so most perpetrators don't face punishment known to lose again by joseph monsoons manliness and i won't assume he knew those moments before he moved to be busy. for team i decided to stay with her husband but he passed through we while

the case for me being said today in court. let's go over to lagos where low level is standing by she works with lagos state domestic and sexual violence welcome to the african let's give us a sense off how big the problem of violence against women is in nigeria. thank you good afternoon and thank you for having me balance against women such a. big issue for us especially in the states it's not like the safe these issues have not always been there but what is on the increase now is reports in the last week you know more people reporting on behalf of all of us it means that you. and to some extent they believe more in the system and that's why. and trying to get help so it is a big issue it's a public health issue and it is something that's everybody knows is it be concerned

and we have a restless ability to ensure that we address these issues from the holistic perspective that's interesting to note because as as you've just said it's a recent phenomenon that people are starting to to speak out a babson in light in us as to why people feel comfortable speaking out now. yes i think for us it's because we can actually give this to 3 reasons number one there's a 0 tolerance to this issues especially in the. people are speaking up as monday to have you quarters just speaking on behalf of others there is also an increase awareness as to the steps that can be taken there's information now people know that there are numbers to call to hundreds to for people to reach out offices to go to police stations that have trained police officers the law turn to these cases so as soon and increasingly 14 and then there is the political will to fight this

menace in lagos state and i dare say in some more states in nigeria so with the political will increase and access to. information and 0 tolerance was seeing is steady increase in reporting of these cases. that really sounds incredible i know that with your work and your organization you work with a lot of victims people who've been in the situation and you help them on their way out talk to us about some of that work you're doing and perhaps some of the preventative measures as well that you're employing yes yes so yes we're well like a one stop shop when legal assistance legal support psychosocial support we come in in terms of emergency where we need to rescue women or children that are being abused there's also empowerment a good majority a of the survivors of domestic violence are financially dependent and you have to use as a government is there to ensure that these women won't part so our system on general

to heal and so will we will look at it for me holistic perspective and that is why we have different people on the team providing support to survival's we believe greatly in convention if we're able to prevent will not have to respond and so we do a lot of advocacy. a vocation for children a vacancy for firenze trainings we have alleged to have recommended policies that have now been accepted by the government most think most recently we have it and the book you see for when we do we fall is because you know we need to start to promote positive must unity if it will to address boys from the young age we will empower them to be ambassadors we believe that called start to see if we dock shortening the commission of these offenses in the 1st place and so we have what we call king's love initiative at the circle just called levels where we are on power boy the stand up for girls for some form of gender equality are we all that you

know with this information the boys will not begin to calm day or the boys or men that approach it is violence so we look at. always possible to send just yesterday when we started our charities for religious institutions because in nigeria little girls religious institutions are the really just clerics. keepers most of the cases go to. the government. lower level of dinny thank you. thank you so much. now a traditional sports lost in time has returned to the central african republic people have stopped playing the game known is because of the country's precarious security situation now it's been revived by some gang enthusiasm thanks to a lull in the conflict. got a bad it's fast and rough. what king a homemade.
