at lower echelons, it is still quite a male-dominated party in the csu and cdu ranks.rent: thank you very much, simon. it is a chapter of germany's second world war history that gets little attention. the fate of the 14 million germans who were forced to flee eastern europe as the soviet army advanced. after decades of controversy over how to tell their stories, a new museum in berlin is documenting their fate. >> a key taken in a rush with the hope to return one day. for every person forcibly displaced, there is a story. often, a tragic one. these are the stories the new documentation center for displacement, expulsion and reconciliation in berlin wants to document. in focus, the fate of the 14 million germans who had to leave their homes after world war ii. a controversial issue. the opening of the museum follows a decades long dispute because of one big question. >> how can the displacement and expulsion of germans at the end and after the second will work be presented without leaving the slightest doubt this country is aware of its permanent responsibility for the

the cdu are going to be externally pleased with this result. a really solid victory. something like this, because as you say this is the last regional vote before germany goes to the polls in its general election in september. the cdu is dwindling on a national level. angela merkel steps down at that election. the new party leader armen laschet has really struggled to reinvigorate public support for the party so this is a really important victory for him, for the party. they will no doubt be very relieved by this. and that story of course was all about the far—right party afd. they have been doing better in germany's former east than other parts of the country, a significant challenge in saxony—anhalt. and that had really sparked a really painful debate within the cdu about how to deal with the far right. the party like most of the mainstream parties here say they will never work with afd, but actually there are voices within and without starting to say actually we might have to look at future cooperation if only at a regional level. a very painful debate and perhaps

this after leadership of the cdu got off to a rocky start.n the u.k., the health secretary says it is too early to say whether planned coronavirus restrictions will be lifted on the 21st of june. this as they weigh a fresh wave of the pandemic and britain sees the so-called delta variance. jane foley is my guest. let's look at the potential for a delay of the reopening. i was watching the news over the weekend. there is the increasing hesitancy. would the july on the june 21 reopening in any way hinder some of the very much implied bullishness in sterling and the economic outlook? jane: i think it would certainly be a delay. we have been looking of course at the confidence numbers, footfall figures, and in retail sectors in the u.k., it is a little bit disappointing. generally speaking, we've had put a good data since the other restrictions have lifted in the last few months, but footfall is still down and i think you have negative psychological effects of the consumer, they are worried about going to that restaurant, they don't want to sit t

you had the cdu present their election program.s a typical cdu program that emphasizes fiscal responsibility but a week ago you heard from -- you heard for -- you heard draghi calling for --. what was interesting though is berlin focused on politics.in it did not focus so much on the economy. this was draghi taking on a new side of the job as prime minister and the real focus was migration. this was a touchy subject. there has been a perception in the country that it is italy that has to deal with migration inflows by itself and there should be a better redistribution system across the european union. that will be a very political subject or draghi to deal with at the european summit coming up later this week. and they did agree that to some extent turkey will be key but we know in the past that has been a very difficult relationship. when you look at migration and the inflows into eastern europe. mark: good morning, maria. is this all part of draghi cementing his political position domestically? maria: it is interesting. when you

the cdu is a bulwark against extremism. we will consistently continue this centrists course.hat is what i stand for as party chairman and candidate for chancellor. >> the state premier sees the root of the success in his cooperation with the social democrats and greens. >> we are sending a clear signal. we will distance ourselves from the afd and stick to our centrist policies so we can form a government with a clear voter mandate. this is our recipe for success. they failed to make a big leap forward. despite strong pull numbers, they finished second, far behind the conservatives. the right wing party, which is considered an extremist group, still garnered more than 20% of the vote. >> we are a party of the people. we want to be popular nationwide and build on the election results from 2017. that is our goal for the national elections. >> it is not a good time for the left-leaning parties. the social democrats' popularity dropped even lower. the greens dropped -- a warning signal ahead of the general election. phil: despite starting slowly, germany's vaccination rollout has

only a few weeks later, we have seen a sharp drop, both in the polling, down 6%, with the conservative cduon now once again in position ahead of the september election, and she lost a whopping 15 points in popularity. it will be over the next 48 hours. >> there's still a fair a bit of time before the national elections of the september. do you think the green party can bounce back from this? >> well, that is the looming question here. for months is a very long time and politics. we have learned that over the past weeks as well. i would say so far, so good. there were some rebels within the party that wanted a gnarly or exit for the combustion engine here -- an earlier exit for the combustion engine here. that was struck down by the delegates who voted. they see so far, the delegates are towing the leadership line. that is exactly what the greens seek to demonstrate now. a picture of unity that they can unify behind her, and that they have this absolute will to power, to eventually potentially come on top. having said that, it was also the weakness of angela merkel's conservative blood that

they had the cdu operational plan which really didn't include the first response unit or really didn'ter elements. it goes back to having that operational planning and utilizing all of the elements within the capitol police. one concerted effort to provide security as opposed to having me as a thomas units independently operating without the one unit knowing what the other unit is doing. would ultimately be the chief house of the assistant chief and the uniform branch predict the services bureau. basically in charge of making sure this plans are carried out and implemented. >> would be an overstatement to say that this was a failure on the part of the department to prepare and train and equip the specialized unit pretty. >> yes or i would agree with that assessment. >> it would be a failure. >> yes. >> he also found the department did not have event policy mandating that the officer within the units the certified with rifle which these officers carry while sending post right the barriers. one of the ramifications of the unit officers failing to be certified on this high-powered rifle.
