the order set to mix up 7 percent of the economy. in many cases, an entire region depends on a single plant. that's all stockens manufacturing, volts, buick, for example there a $60000.00 jobs which both politicians and trade union is hope to protect. cutting costs to a competitive level seems unavoidable. whenever the outcome of tools will determine the future of gemini is most important. industry dw business is marie scene, a is in the german city of hanover to report on the protest against job cuts at volkswagen. she told us just how dramatic the situation is not here and how the chaise martin just feels dramatic. it feels i call them shorter the people behind me protesting, panting, whistling the smoke. so i spoke to a as somebody was the for 25 years. and he said that it no longer feel as though

he is part of the port family the year in such a disappointment, in the management of the come on the 28 year old work for a service here to worry that job because your worker comes to needs so really, so worries that couldn't be adults here, not anger, management company itself, it's a dramatic moment. this is the 1st time in history that the company is considering closer parts barton was a part of jeremy's most for economic on an expense for the other car buying offense. and now it's considered the job, the has the thousands of angry walk in front of the doors negotiations. so the big dramatic turnaround for the existence of the company

and of the german economy. all the worried about the future. yeah, we can hear that worry, we can hear the announcements behind you. there are the demands to save so many jobs at dw, by the trade unions are these demands realistic? well, the trades, the jobs, so they're demanding for in 7 percent that wage increase. and they're demanding to draw protection scheme added introduce 30 years ago. and the weeks ago is the right amount of more money and job safety now. and any other context, these would be perfectly realistic demand. but in the context of modified management, saying that if the costs are too high, if you could drop rolling enough as far as mazda swinson, it's whole market. but with it is most on the market, showing us the back production costs here. and you're me to keep your jeremy

competitive as a car manufacturing hobby. within that context it becomes clear how far apart from the demands on both sides are now. the asians are the talks will out until the end of the year and whether they will come to agreements will also determine when huge or likely of menu drum towards learn workforce. you're right, dw business is marie senior there in hanover, marine, thank you from germany. business, the german politics, the leadership do well of germany's greens party is stepping down following disastrous results in regional elections, greens coordinator ricardo long and over norie poor, along with the entire national party leadership announced their resignations earlier today. no reports at the greens are facing the deepest crisis in a decade because that they need a fresh start. and then the greens completely dropped out of state parliament in

brandenburg i might add in the state of the range that part. let's pull in our chief political correspondent, nina honda here in berlin. she's been following the story. so i mean, what are the underlying reasons here for it basically did this collective resignation of the green parties executive committee the whole time. so the poor performance of the policy lately and elections and the longer on sir, is that, but the leaders of the policy um, in order for recall the long gave a relatively spontaneous press statement earlier said it was time for a fresh thought after those disastrous results in recent elections, they said it was time for fresh faces, essentially to get out of the car in crisis. and just to remind the, perhaps the greens have dropped out of those 2 regional problems in eastern germany brought back into rings the front but kept him just this sunday. and they badly made it into the one in sex. and in all of this happened this month. i'm one of the leaders that the brunt buck result was testament to that. the deepest crisis that

you just mentioned, of the policy in a decade. and it's important to know that in all those elections, it was a battle between the found right, a if the and the more established policies and it was particularly green support, is that especially when for tactical voting to prevent the a, if the, from winning and serve somebody else with better chances to be the if the a we have to remind our viewers at the greens, they're one of the 3 parties that make up the current government here in germany. so i mean, how will this affect members of the greens who are in the governing coalition? i'm thinking of the vice chancellor, robert hubig for example, or the foreign minister readily available. she's also agree. so yeah. first of all, i would say the greens leaders are getting a lot of applause from even members of other party. so taking the responsibility with a step and party members, i probably relieved that the leader said that they are going to make sure that it's going to be a smooth transition process. so then not dropping everything here and now the

waiting till the party convention in mid november. but of course it is piling a pressure on the greens chosen candidates. the current economy minister robot talbot, who's going to challenge incumbents on the left shows. but you do have to say that there's kind of government in berlin is the most unpopular government and building that we've seen for many, many months. so what implications might this had been for the political landscape in germany? we've got national elections in one year's time and how are we going to make it that long? while i'm very specific times with this step, the greens latest articles, putting the leaders of the other 2 parties in the unpopular building government under pressure, especially the business friendly f t p. they have not taken similar steps. they've almost disappeared in eastern germany. you have to say so that is not a good situation for them to be in a just one year before the schedule next federal elections. and also brent,

if you would, if you'd asked me a couple of months ago, we're going to see 1st election soon in germany i was just said no because they don't stand to gain anything. all the parties involved. and now i'm not so sure, and i'm not the only one here observing the political landscape in berlin. right. or chief political correspondent, nina honda here in berlin. nina, as always thank what's the threat of rising sea levels is on the agenda, is where leaders meet this week at the un in new york data shows that the rate of sea level rise is more than doubled in the last 30 years, putting more than a 1000000000 people at risk dw news visited the north sea coast where floods and high water levels are already part of everyday life. sun and wind. perfect conditions for a tide contest in the small village of how does the on the north sea. but the weather isn't always this benevolent. in fact, this double trouble,
