i took it off and i think the people need to take responsibility in their own hands and be prepared if those kind of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number that i use this ours headline. stories a judge court rules and police come continue selecting people for extra identity checks at the border on the basis of their ethnicity. we put the issue up for debate to codification of racism. i don't know the figures that we are similar like in built in 6 out of britain or illegal immigrant for me to offenses also ahead hundreds of health workers in front of facing prosecution, over rump and fraud in the countries cove with health path system after tens of

thousands of fake documents or uncovered u. k faces a new energy crunch of hundreds of petrol stations run out of the fuel. correspondence find out for herself. her shortages are affecting every day. sorry, out to view, sorry out of these, sorry. out of you on every single pump and this station says exactly the same and we continue our special coverage on the eve of germany. federal election, the nation chooses the choose its neck, chancellor, after 16 years of under merkle in charge, live reaction on, ah, 2 in the afternoon here in moscow this saturday september the 25th welcome to the news our north sea. i'm you know neil. a dutch court says rule that it's legal for

border guards to stop and check people entering the country on the basis of their ethnicity. now the case was launched by a nigerian man who said border police stopped him on racial grounds. the netherlands is in the shan game, so meaning people entering from other member states are not generally required to show their passports. i'm with the international house condemned the latest ruling as unconstitutional, lawyer involved in the case safe. it opens the door to legalize discrimination. this issues and actually speaking still be part of risk profile selection profiles . we think that least the door opens wide or just from a nation and racism basically every time that i'm coming home to my country than that. and i'm being stopped and the city can play a role. this is basically what the court is saying. and to us is really shocked. well, the dutch ruling comes him in

a migration search in the you just some figures for you at the block. so a 115 percent jumped always in 1st time asylum claims in the 2nd quarter of this year. now the largest increase came from gum refugees, and the figure is expected to accelerate in the wake of the taliban take over. also a sharp rise and arrivals from syria pakistan with all that in mind, we are the belgian politician, frank creole, men and racial equality, campaign or li, just per for the refuse on europe's long rolling refugee dilemma. hey, codification of racism and to touch, know how come wanna discern nationality by ethnicity in the modern world? kind of habit, mississippi is a category that for mocking our suspicion amongst individuals. i don't know the figures that i suppose they are similar like in belgium, 6 of them. prisoners are illegal immigrants for me to offenses. so it's normal,

the police and customs, more who know what if they want to control someone, maybe the blacks had to go. so sure big is anger, who his own goal or brothers are the reason for his problems. i wonder about the general trend across europe, which is moving to was continuing religious legitimize ation hall, common racy stereotypes through racial racial profiling through through criminal justice systems. holidays indicate continued right waiting drift across the world. these groups are there. there are parties who are ethnically left wing and they have their own political parties. so the 1st thing they knew separately, profile themselves into their own parties, was eating some all around the world. traveling that will have based on their mind as well as their residents multicultural communities. so we'll have an

impact on the international reputation of the dutch who previously saw as progressive in european terms. but increasingly, as we see the trend to move right with your spread even to those most progressive european nations, really, you should look at your own community. you should look at your own room if they are overrated. in the are too much in trying to see that it's quite normal, that they, the police and customs and all the that the security major. a lot of them. when politicians bang, the drum about racism, immigration, and the need to be self and the need to be able to justify racial profiling and discrimination against minorities is uses the government itself. we seeking to distract the population from more serious matters. been a mixed case like belgium and holland. our food we are,

we are the smallest and the most countries in the world. if you do like this, then it's maybe the best to make. and then finally, an end to political correctness and then saying, go, don't go to holland because we're full. if we stop, stop giving them money when they come in, let us give them the alls and given the schools getting everything. yeah. and it was love before. ok, let's keep attention in europe. french authorities say they've uncovered widespread frauds involving cobra. health passes according to the country's health insurance fund, up to 270 metrics are suspected of involvement of that number. just over half have been prosecuted on 36000 pounds, has been cancelled people fund to have given a fake certificates are facing up to 5 years in prison and fines of up to 150000 euro. while anyone discovered carrying such a document could lend themselves 3 years in prison, plus a $45000.00 euro penalty. we spoke with bruno microphone,

a doctor in paris. he said the intense pressure and medics may have prompted some to bend the loss. if it is more, i think it will be asleep with the introduction of health passes, mandatory vaccination of nursing stuff, the cancellation of financial compensation for current of ours tests. there is a risk that a certain number of people who do not want the bader law tried to circumvented. unfortunately, just like in the general population, their own st. louis, medical workers who are trying to earn money by fortune documents. firstly, it's a criminal prosecution for the documents face, imprisonment of up to 5 years, undefined, of several 1000 euros after the uses of the state documents. and of course, even medical workers in public hospitals will be relieved that position if found guilty. well, if he is just the latest in a series of setbacks for the french health service in the past month, thousands of stuff have been suspended without pay for feeling to get vaccinated against kobe lighting, bruno mcgarvey, and again,

things government policies are overly harsh. duplicate the big unfortunately, public hospitals are now in a difficult situation. this is primarily due to restrictive policies, as well as financial management. and it has been happening for about 20 years in accounting policy and the financial balance sheets have become the guiding principles in decision making. people frequently to the detriment of the medical interest in society, which needs medical care and hospitals. accordingly, the number of pets and stuff has decreased because medical care stuff is the main expense in the hospital. and if you want to save money, you have to reduce the number of stuff. but the same time the population in france is aging the need, her medical services is growing. the number of destitute migrant persons of no fixed, the boat is growing. therefore, public hospitals are experiencing an increased load and the resources remain the same for even less of a time of record natural gas prices. the u. k. now was yet another energy crisis.

all it sounds like a blurry drivers has left petrol stations up and down. the country running and mc ortiz shall be at risk dusty. so at 1st hand at the pump the u. k. is running on empty right now, is hundreds of patches stations in britain like this one have run out of fuel. just to give you an idea this tom green, sorry, out of you, sorry, out of these, sorry, out reviews on every single pump. and this statute station says exactly the same. why, what is so because the country is run out of fuel, but because there's not enough is already drivers to get the fuel to these patches station. but as usual, the government's messages keep calm and drive on the advice would be to carry on his normal and that he won't be p saying as well, he may say carry on as normal. but empty tank just isn't normal. phoebe admit it's running dry and hundreds of stations and now affected were even seeing cub blacktop outside, open cultural stations, up and down the country to get the last drop of people. go back into the panic

buying mentality that we saw at the beginning of the pan demik. i just saw the big q in the morning as well now as well. and i was just told that there was no deal now. so i'm literally onto the trip tomorrow, so i don't have any diesel car. again, i am going to do that and what i will do it was yesterday. so i don't know if either the few of the 2 weeks but the price is i think you'd be fixed on it because i have to work with a call without work without abuse. i can go to work. if i go, it will cost you a lot of times, well before the pandemic, anything that went wrong in the u. k. everyone said breaks it and coupled with kind of it, it's chaos. the survey shortage of laurie drivers in the u. k is following an exodus of truckers from countries who went back during the pandemic and stayed at least 100000, all of whom drove trucks supply the u. k with his angels like food and petrol. and

crucially, they haven't been replaced. the government is came to say, this is more to do with the pandemic than breaks it be the rules my have to change to find the quickest. we have ample field stops in this country, but like countries around the world, we are suffering from a temporary coven related shortage of drivers, needed to move supplies around the country, while looking at temporary measures to avoid any immediate problems. but any measures we introduce will be very strictly time limited, and 5 things are in such a state will be all they may have to be drafted in to deal with this contest. but any one step won't be a quick fix on the shortages in the supply chain could see more than empty petro pumps as the country as left fuming, charging edwards dusting all to london tomorrow, sunday. germany is going to the polls to answer the question. who is going to replace chancellor angle and merkle after 16 years of the health.

the on friday candidates made their last bid to persuade the voters with raleigh's up and down the use most populous nation. the outgoing chancellor house endorsed her own parties, candidates militia. but the rates, so the peer wide open would be chancellors from the social democratic party, the greens, the right when f d b mobilizing there are support, easy, cool us noise. ok. let's actually have a look at how the elections going to work. german voters don't directly choose a chunk slur the elect members of the bender stack, who will later pick a chancellor to lead a coalition government. each voter received 2 papers. the 1st is 4 candidates in the electoral district, there are $2909.00 constituencies across the country. the 2nd ballot is for

a political party. there are $47.00 of them running for seats, but only parties with more than 5 percent of the vote nationwide can enter parliament. one of the front runners is the c d u. c. s u alliance, which until low was fronted by the la merkel. their campaign slogan is to make good things better in the post merkel era. they are promising to tighten integration rules and cut taxes for low to middle income workers and on foreign policy, they see relations with russia and china as the main challenges facing germany. are your correspondent peter, all of our know takes a look at more of the favorites and outsiders election with no clear air repairing to angular merkel when it comes to taking over the chancellor's office just behind me. the only real guarantees we have heading into this election when it comes to

who will be the next leader of germany, is that it won't be the woman who's headed up the country's government for the best part of the last 16 years. realistically the next chancellor of germany will be one of the 3 people. each of them know comes with their own issues. the outsider for the top job is green party candidate annalee. in a bare book back in the summer, her policy will polling at the heavy heights of 22 percent. right now they've been pegged back to closer to the mid teens. while there's been no major campaign mistakes, a lot of it's been put down to a general feeling of a lack of experience when it comes to senior political jobs and some questions over the figures that ms. bad book has used when it comes to putting forward the green parties, environmental policies. by the year, 2100, the sea level will rise by 7 meters. the sea level will continue to rise for centuries. it could reach around $30.00 to $60.00 centimeters by 2100,

even if greenhouse gas emissions sharply reduced. and global warming is limited to well below 2 degrees celsius. then she managed to find herself in a very german political scandal involving her copying a number of paragraphs into her new book without proper attribution. i take the criticism seriously, looking back, it would certainly have been better if i had worked with a list of references, statements coming out of the green camp and the last week suggest the realization that they know they're probably not going to win this election unless of course, there's been a cataclysmic failure of polling. however, the greens all set to play a big role and whatever coalition in the ruling germany next, was the man from anglo merkel, christian democratic union party, arm, and lush. it has, it's fair to say not has a great election campaign. the leader of the state of north road wistfully upset many well being caught on camera laughing and joking around behind the german

president. as frank volta shine, my express comes stolen, says to the families of those who died in this summer's fatal flooding, which struck hard at lush it state. then there was the cringe worthy interview with child journalist after the 12 year olds eviscerated the would be chancellor over his climate inaction far right elements in his party. and even mister law should function for a cigarette every now and again, the cd you mans response was to slam what he called. clearly, koch children for the interview technique angle a merkel has tried to give him her blessing, including during the chancellor's final speech, to them understand that didn't go so well. the, the the outgoing chancellor has stood by her mom, displayed him leading the center right party toward some of their lowest polling

figures. in postwar germany that brings us on to the pollsters favorite to be the next head of the german government. all our shots of the social democrats shows tactics of things to take a 2nd from the other candidates, the talking one another, to present himself as a full bath. and despite policy policies, almost certainly meaning new taxes, the german people at the final televised debate shoulders with announced the clear when i finished, those polls seem more than willing to overlook more than one skeleton in the closet of mister schultz is present. never mind his past. earlier this month, his fine on ministry as well as the justice ministry was rated by prosecutors and made accusations that a financial watchdog intended to catch money laundering was well not doing its job less than a week before voters. tough ballot members of the bonus tag were questioning mister

schultz as role when it comes to financial mis doings after the g. 20 come x y cod . we have a negative in the end. the 1st time, the history of the state of germany. i don't have an investigation why the public prosecutors off against the federal ministry. that's a look through the runners and ride as barring a major. ready upset it will be one of those 3 who's the next chancellor of germany, to massively over simplify. if i may, if germany were a restaurant, the recipes are going to stay almost the same. they are going to get a new head shift. so, and it's going to be someone who doesn't have the same cloud in the kitchen, and certainly doesn't have the same international recognition piece or all of our, our tea, pearlin. or joining me live in the studio, i'm very happy to say is thomas foss spend, or a journalist on author, and who can remember more than one or 2 terminal actions. i think it's safe to say

to you and the thing, thanks for inviting me. it's great to have you before we perhaps get into specifics . how important thomas is this election for jer, the element in europe. it is important for germany. first of all, because an era goes, ends. this america, america's 16 years in power. i would not say that that is so important for, for your not so much as it is probably for germany because the elections will at least show whether the center rightist or the center. leftist can of the political. there is no really right kemp that is insignificant in germany, but there's has been lot, lots of talks about left shift shift to the left and in german politics and we will see tomorrow whether this will come true because that would be definitely it could be a game changer, but basically the relevance will not be so large because most likely, the likelihood is that marcus way of politics will be continued at least for one to

3 years because the 2 most favor, most favorites candidates, mr. mr. charles and mr. lash it, they mentally say they can come out of the camp. that's interesting because as you say, the merkel ear, it's coming to an end after 16 years. and i think a lot of observers are wondering if there's going to be any drastic changes in germany. foreign and domestic policy, as i, as i said, is that indicated i do not expect drastic changes not for not for the near future. simply because the political landscape has been hardened in a way round her style. com, very reasonable, non drastic, non charismatic. and both candidates, wonderful, which will likely make the chancellor, mister lush, it or mister shows they share this, this, this attitude which is popular in germany because mrs. merck to the end has been among the most popular politicians in the country. and probably would she have run

another time tomorrow she might have taken the most her party might, might, might have taken the most votes. so there is, there is, there is little drastic action to be expected. but problems are mounting. and i think germany will enter into, into a time when we, when people will see that the problems are larger than the, the resources of the political class to manage them. well, let's perhaps get into then who's going to head this new government? what, what it's going to look like. if you believe the batting odds people do say follow the money. you're most likely. next town stories love show financed ministry leader of the s t p. he's not a familiar face. people around the world might not know a lot of bottom. what would a government led by him actually look like? where is most likely we have 3 party collision, right. any case? yeah. so either wins will we will have a 3 party collision coalition with the greens participating with led by either s

beat, the social democrats or the christian democrats. the greens will be, will be in there. and most likely the s b, the, the f t p. the liberals will be in there, so whatever the government will look like, because of this constellation with a 3 party collision, it will be a compromise consensus. government a compromising government again in this does not drum as any dressed any, anything drastic changes of that. and we will, well, i, my position is we'll see more the same for some time at last time or on 2017 thomas . the see to use source support slip quite considerably a per center. so arguably, one of the, the main factors, the refugee crisis, a lot of people have their issues with that and perhaps to see, to use solar support fall at the pools. because of that, the biggest issue, of course, has been for the last number of years cove. it,

how does not affect the ruling party? will they be given a tech to say good job or will to be punished like last time? i do not think that the migrant crisis of 2015 has much influence on tomorrow's election. a covered will covered will. but on cove it again, the larger part is the central part is they share the same position which is rather a cautious approach. not like denmark, for example, where, where, where everything has been live liberated. so we have of course, minority and parties like the f d, the right is parties or the basis it's called the very small party will make the 5 percent. but they are propagating a completely different covert policy and they will be voted, they will get votes because of that. but they will not make more than in, around 10 little bit better than 10 percent in total because that's the picture and the population population carries the, the more cautious and the, the more restricted approach when,

when it goes comes about to cove it. so there is no population anger with anybody in the government because of covert majority supports cove. it. that's why i do not think that covert will really decide the election tomorrow. if you've got some curious bedfellows that could end up in this election at the end of it, another betting market prediction, the most likely coalition apparently s p d greens and then you've got the f, d p, the free democrats. so you have a left leaning party allied with a liberal, free market economy backers. how would that work out again? they will have to find a compromise because the, the most likely alternative to that that we call jamaica collision coalition. yeah . then we have the, the so called germany coke coalition because of the german flag. black like yellow, green, red. okay. and so in either case, you have the f, d p, the liberals, you have the green, which already on con, on con,

country sides of the political actress. yeah. and then the question is only the difference is only will the largest body in the coalition will be the christian democrat or the social democrats is this may take very long until we finally get the government even for 4 years ago. we wait to 6 months for the government, so i would not be astonish if we have a government only in 2022. but it will, it will most likely be decided between if there is no surprise, tomorrow's outcome between those 2 coalitions which really different a different because only in whether it is the social democrats or the christian demo. okay. well, let me perhaps talk about a potential surprise. a shock would be figuring where alternative for germany stunned in all this. you have essentially all the other party saying that they're not going to do a coalition with f d involved in it. but they do tend to who will perform,

you only have to look at 2017 for that as a, as a last case scenario, you've got opinion polls saying similar from time to time and they get a boost whenever there is a large migration issue. so could we see an upset from the f d not tomorrow? is because because as you said, because the migration is you, it does not play a great rule and the position on corona of the a if the position on corona is not checked by the large majority, they have been the, has been very stable over many months. around between 10 and 12 percent, it's very unlikely that tomorrow we see say 304050 or more. there was a big shot in 2017 last time. i think a large percentage of that is 4 years ago. and things have changed to another issue because this is large, the one issue probably, i wouldn't say it's only one issue probably, but it's largely one is your body when it comes to popular follow ship and that's

the migrant issue. and at the, at the time being, it may be around in 6 months from now, but at the time be we have no migrant issue in terms of and the current makeup of the voting public of germany. you have some 4 to 5000000 turkish people there, for instance, as their population life for around 45. yeah. correct. yeah. so you have, there are, there are being more and more of a factor in elections as they go on. you've got a lot of off gun grants. you've got a lot of migration in general. it's not going to help the left leaning parties dramatically. no, no, i would say that the larger the number of any minority becomes, gets the more on average they will vote because when, when i'm living in berlin and times again talk, talk to somebody from turkey and you see the same share reference. right. ok, there are turkish migraines. it's generating token to people who are very much

against the migration policy because they say they say my father, my grandfather, they have created something in germany. no german german government lives. let's in all these people from anywhere. and just finally appointed by germany's voting system. it worked so that no party wins. majority, you always need coalitions of you. you have been explaining, is there a danger the things get too close? we see an israel style situation where the parties failed to agree their steel mit and yet another election, yet another election. this is going to be the big question for after to morrow, because in any case, will have a number of rather equal factions in the government. there is no practice in germany in german politics to deal with this situation. and as you indicate, it may lead to a stalemate, a prolong, stay made even because in, in the absence of a practice, for example, the greens,

the greens are probably the most ideological driven party, the, the less for the they are politic party. they will insist in whatever coalition and they will be in the, in the coalition. they will insist on their climate protection targets, etc. the free democrats will not be able to, to manage with that. it may be very difficult to find a compromise, but without a compromise. we will in fact have it in his relax situation. so we were entering new waters in a way. so just in a where do you think by the end of this year there will be a functioning german government or will it go into 20? $22.00. i would not be astonished if it goes into 20. 22. ok thomas? it's been fascinating. it's been very interesting indeed to have your thoughts in the program, say, thomas fosdick, journalist. i know what they're speaking to us on the fast approaching german election many thanks. thanks. ok. so the use most populous nation goes to the poles r t. special coverage will keep you at the, for both of the latest developments,

the pallet, the current on all the reaction, keep it right to your season. ah ah ah, rather driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares thing.
