correspondent good morning hans the greens began their rise didn't they in many ways their steady rise last summer with the drought that that swept across large parts of europe and it hit germany in a hard way is that what's behind their strong showing climate change well they certainly that train that climate issues environmental issues have become the top subject for the sub top concern for voters in the last year and a half or so partly i think this is the droughts of the very hot summer that we had last year was one push factor in that. and generally that was this friday future movement kind of scholars of pupils and students going to the streets every friday pushing environmental issues all of that has contributed to that and it has seen the stadia rise in environmental questions coming to before and as a result the green party which is seen as the only party that has a consistent policy on this has done very well and just 2 years ago it was migration and issues like the pensions that were topping the polls for not only just 2 years ago just before the last general election at the end of 2017 those were the issues the issues for voters that were most im
