the right-wing afd party is critical of migration. >> we are against this sort of immigration becausec creates parallel s societies.. this may not be very obvious as well -- long as the economy is starting. but it presents a threat. reporter: but the german economy, with a shortage of skilled workers, is counting on the migrant workforce. without it, the german model will not work. phil: you are watching dw news live from berlin. do you say with us. ♪ changed [inaudible] this is. jack jackson costs only twenty four entrance on the twenty twenty twenty four looking at our our measures early earlier this week [inaudible] and

which are concerned by the rise of the success of the german greens party and the rise of the populist afdoo much. she will also have to deal with those who want to take this party back to its conservative roots. she has a lot of work on her hands, she will be sharing power with angela merkel, the two women have worked together before, she has been the party's general secretary for some time. but today she struck a chord with most in this room when she said she wanted the party to come together. translation: i accept this vote and thank you for your confidence. i thank you from the bottom of my heart, especiallyjens spahn and friedrich merz for this fair competition we have conducted. the big question today is what does this mean for angela merkel. the suggestion is perhaps at some point there could be a smooth transition of power between mrs merkel and the new chancellor candidate — mrs merkel herself she would like to stay in the post of chancellor until the end of her term in 2021. today she relinquished a huge amount of power to annegret kramp—karrenbauer, as people in this room still

squeezed, they have a new leader, and they have this difficult decision of how do you fend off the afdu not risk alienating the other side as well? is not going to be an easy place to inhabit. let's look at the mail, something lots of us were affected by yesterday. 87p, that's how customers hit by mobile issues will be awarded in compensation. you will barely notice that. you weren't affected, you had to keep answering your phone. i'm going to take this very contrary view on this. what 02 are giving is they are giving compensation for two days loss of service, which amounts to... it struck me, we forget how extraordinarily cheap mobile phones are and now we literally pay for a service that gives us phone calls, the internet, apps... that is really, really good value.|j the internet, apps... that is really, really good value. i don't think it's a bad deal!|j really, really good value. i don't think it's a bad deal! i was affected and it surprised me how dependent i was on my phone. affected and it surprised me how dependent i was on my phonelj affected and it surprised me how dependent

the rise of the afd in germany is a rise of the far left party borne of the frustration who feels the center right party no longer stands for what they do. you have something similar going on in italy. in the u.k. the creation of new political parties is extremely difficult because we have this system which really makes it hard to start a new political force. david's absolutely right. nonetheless we have a different manifestation of the same broad themes. and arguably you have actually some of that in the united states where you have a completely different republican side today than you did a few years ago. >>> next on gps, china's spy games. was beijing behind the hack of some 500 million married guests all in an effort to get a heads up on intelligence? i will talk to the time's david sanger about why china wanted to know who was checking in and checking out of hotels. only half the story? at t. rowe price our experts go beyond the numbers to examine investment opportunities firsthand. like e-commerce spurring cardboard demand. the pursuit of allergy-free peanuts. and mobile payment

sayingsaying what people are afd to say. is it ominous comedians are not allowed to practice? are canary in the coal mine and this is why it's gone viral. it's nothing to do with comedy. the story. the reason people are tuning in and watching the video we recorded of this is because it is not about comedy. this is about ordinary people up and down the country and in britain and america feeling like they can't say what they think. i have had so many messages from the people who are messaging me. all kind of people. sometimes women going i don't agree with radical feminism. if i say it in the workplace tomorrow i won't have a job anymore. it's coming to that everybody feels like we are all kind of under arrest. everything we say can and will be used against us in the court of public opinion. and they are coming for the comedians first because we are the ones that, as you say, are allowed to transgress. everybody else feels it. that is why the story has the resonance that it has. >> this is not sustainable. thank heaven. god bless you for what you are doing. i appreciate it. >> t

so the rise of the afd in germany is the rise of a sort of far right party born of the frustration ofple who feel that the center right party no longer stands for what they do. you have something similar going on in italy. in the uk, the creation of new political parties is extremely difficult, because we have this electoral system which really makes it hard to start a new political force. so here the reason -- david is absolutely right. the two main political parties wa won a very high show. but nonetheless, they are risen over brexit, so we have a different manifestation of the same broad themes. and arguably, you have some of that, actually, in the united states. where you have a completely different republican party today than you did a few years ago. >> all right. next time on the program, david will announce his new party. >>> next on "gps", was beijing behind the hack of some 500 million guests all in an effort to get a leg up on intelligence? that is what is a report in the "new york times" suggests. i will talk to david sanger about why china wanted to know who was checking i

, which used to be this stable boring bastion of, you know been sensibility, you're starting to see afdright party, getting rising support. so everywhere, you have populism. and i was recently talking to the foreign policy lead who agree on one thing, we haven't seen peak populism yet. because populism has exploded when the economy has been growing. we've gone from 5% to 40% from an economic boom. what is going to happen when they turn down? >> you read in the "wall street journal" that those who are nervous are executives of major banks. yes, we talk about liberal democracy, but it is the fundamental be neeth all neath that is in peril, as well. >> the one thing i love about listening to julian, her sense of human nature is so fascinatinging to me. the part of the job as a journalist is to absorb human initiate and reflect upon it. this has been a great time for economies in the west and all around the world. now we're starting to see china's economy slowing. there are some people in this country who think that our economy, 3.5% gdp growth has been a sugar high and we're going to come

have leaders like vladimir putin pushing donald trump, pushing ultra nationalism in germany, with the afd, pushing al sisi in egypt, erdogan in turkey, balsanaro in brazil, and now you could argue that we have the first autocrat president, the first, you know, the tyrant that john adams warned would eventually come as president of the united states, that alexander hamilton said would charm the masses, and would use demagoguery to reach the highest platform. >> how does democracy come back? >> what we never thought was that they would have a congress that would surrender itself. the guardrails of democracy are the other branches of government and the voice of the people. >> you say that, as a lifelong republican? >> i was a republican until, you know, you're in the military, i was a national security republican, and socially liberal. now, because of the current republican party, i'm far to the left. i mean, national security, you know, republicans are no longer even considered part of the republican party. we hate the soviet union and hate communists and we know a kgb officer when we see o
