there are thousands of people. if we now say you can all come we just can't manage that. as she tells her speeding of the asylum office is a priority, she noticed his the girl has burst into tears. the chancellor tries to comfort the girl. >> i know this is difficult, but i want to comfort you. we have no desire to put you in a situation -- >> it did not take long for the hashtag to go viral. some say she actually managed to difficult to chew asian quite

well. brent: this has been -- a difficult situation quite well. brent: i am joined by our political correspondent. it is good to have you with us. he is the european director for the germany-based refugee support organization. his job is to help refugees and refugee children like the one we saw there. let me ask both of you. what was your reaction when you saw that video? how the chancellor handled that situation? >> it was not her week. i was astonished how she when she described this little girl and how many people and how many palace didion live in lebanon.

we could not cope with this situation. it is a cynical argument. it is a solidarity-based approach. more than one million syrians are there and more than half a million palestinian refugees live in lebanon. brent: let me ask you. the political reporters all over the entry were tweeting all day about this. >> it has been the talk of the town. i was not very surprised it first. it is very like her. rational and to the point. the problem came when she approached a little girl and the problem is it not like her. she does not handle emotions very well. she is a scientist, after all.

>> if you want to solve the story of the family, the chancellor is not risk possible but if there is a will, there is a way to stall the finish humanitarian way. this girl is one part of society. why should she lose her childhood? we have defined a way to give the whole family perspective. it is not the role of the chancellor to decide if angle case, but it was cynical. brent: it is her role, too. to tell the truth and to give people hope. as germany is taking in a large amount of refugees, right? >> germany is the biggest recipient of asylum applicants in the european union. and interestingly enough, also

among industrialized nations. it was 180,000 applications and german officials are expecting 400,000 by the end of the year. it is creating problems for german officials. brent: german officials, european officials. the reason you are in athens is you say greece and the refugee crisis and the debt crisis, all of it is one big nexis. do you think a possible solution will be found? yes or no before we leave? >> it depends on germany and the european union. brent: thank you. we will have to let you go right there. thank you for watching the w news. we will see you next time.
