that was certainly a rather strong and very emotional response by the chancellor. and it's rather out of character for him, he's normally known as being pretty subdued. what happens this right? usually he's pretty calm when he's speaking in front of a bigger audiences. this, this and thing that we just saw, this video that was in fire, can say close to berlin and brandon. but there was an event of the sd, of his parties, of the social democrats. and they started shouting, even before he started speaking. so there was to say premier off the sate also there, so he started shouting that he should leave that he's a woman grow and also asking jeremy not to keep sending these weapons. it's not the 1st time we seen, but of course it the most passionate speech in this video has done by it on twitter with many ranking pollutions, also reacting a to it. one of them is bugging me. eclipse. cope. you said it's ultimate. it's me personally. how emotionally it's bonus cancer. so if you text him is reacting to the put in friends as he called them, things you will have felt for defending a so resolute and is especially interesting in light of the fact that the
5:13 pm
chancellor was considered too hesitant when his response to what was happening and you can rain, so is this a complete turnaround? it, i wouldn't call it a turn around, it was a long process. if we look from during many of the 1st, when this invasion happened, and then they wanted to send this home and somebody send showed weapons and they start sending a even heavier artillery, sending ahmed vehicles now sending this letter to tags. but germany does not want to go as far as sending will planes, as many are asking those one to have a more active role by germany and say, and ukraine is also demanding that the germany should join the so called in depth a coalition to also sent this far to just to ukraine, but majority of done it's according to a recent poll is still against it's still against germany, sending fine to just german fight to just to ukraine. now what benjamin a, what can you tell us about the people who are heckling the chancellor? what kind of the person is this,
5:14 pm
on what side of the political spectrum are they likely to be? so we can definitely be assume that this was organized. this was not a spontaneous and protest, but it's difficult to say which party affiliation they have. they could be from the fall arrive, that is pretty strong in eastern germany. but they could also be from the left party. we have a really big movement saying that a piece made is needed that we need peace agreements of germany should not get and both nato should not get involved. it has so it's difficult to say which spectrum, which part of the political spectrum this protest as r a, but it shows that there is still discussion in germany of how far durham you should go. all the false has been accused of being a to reluctant will others. so saying that domain should do more accusing the german southland, accusing his government afield, writing its feet of acting when others are acting and not leading. so it's difficult to say exactly which part of the political spectrum these people are, but we can assume that this will not be the last time that they will shout at the top line. and also that the debate within the country continues to be
