her message -- do not ask germany to do too much. >> germany has mixed feelings. on the one side, a lot of people still have a problem seeing germany taking on a leadership role. that has a lot to do with historical concerns. on the other side, a lot of people would like to see germany take a leadership in europe, and since germany is the only country that can provide leadership at the moment, some say merkel is doing too much. others say too little. >> international media coverage swings between respect and rejection of the country's role. whichever it is, the world's eyes are on merkel. >> germany is an anchor of stability for the bureau. that is why japanese correspondents cover the german economy and politics. merkel was a bit hesitant at the start of the year of crisis. she did not take the lead as much as obama and the u.s. had hoped, but she has gotten better. >> there is this a dominant role, and we do not have much of a say, even though since spring, our president, unlike his predecessor, sarkozy, has tried to stand up to the german chancellor more. >> pr

in germany, the difference is even greater with women earning 22% less but in germany in last place among european countries. the gender gap in pay is smallest in greece and norway. the researchers say one reason for the gender gap as many women work in poorly paid part-time jobs. that also affect retirement pensions. the gender gap among retirees is bigger in germany than in any other developed country. one possible solution, experts say, is more child care opportunities. she left her career -- stayed with it because of child care options offered by her company. >> calling for nationwide protests next week following the first round of voting on the new constitution in germany -- in egypt. 56% voted in favor of the draft. >> they are complaining of numerous voting irregularities and are declaring every count. they say it paves the way for islamic law and as a threat to the christian minority as well as civil rights. official referendum results will only be known after a second round of voting next weekend. the german government has expressed concern over the situation in egypt. >> the min

use for a vote so first of all germany of spain germany didn't turn its back against. the protests from german politicians against the settlement politics right now are in my opinion more or less symbolic because they are telling the protesters they are not defined or noticing that this is a violation of the peace plan off the middle east but we will have to wait until the end of the baby if this political shit big if it's really culprit if this protest follows a political action we have to see the difference of our protests and that this political action to be honest i don't think that there will be any political action coming out of the order of protests. now israel is facing increasing isolation in europe there's been talk all possible essentials of tel aviv doesn't back down and settlement decisions do you expect this kind of pressure from here oh ben what's on the what germany take sanction is all on the table. this is a really interesting question because we see here a coalition or reason or states of germany we see at the one side germany you as a country within

angela merkel is meeting here in berlin tomorrow with the chief ministers of germany, -- germany's 16 federal states to discuss, amongst other things, this precise issue. i can say that angela merkel -- it is a well-known fact -- she is cautious and cagey about this push for a ban. they remember how a bid to get a previous -- a previous bid to get the party banned in 2003 failed. a repeat of that is precisely the thing that people want to avoid. >> the npd is not a major force in german politics. why the push to ban them now? >> because of the terrible revelations we have had about far-right wing terrorists operating out of eastern germany. you mentioned they killed 10 people, including nine members of the immigrant community. racial hatred was certainly their motive. there are revelations or allegations of links to the npd in the person of a former npd spokesman in tan eastern german state. he will be facing charges of aiding and abetting the murder spree, those nine killings. the link between the political party in a terrorist cell was a signal -- the political party and the terrori

although he said he did not question germany's motives, he said of course germany thought that its decision to abstain would be more likely to lead to peace. another problem is the question of settlements. i think the german government's criticism of israeli settlements reflects a growing frustration in the german public about israel's position, but as prime minister netanyahu also said, in the end, peace will not be made in germany or in new york but on the ground in direct talks between the two sides. >> thanks very much for joining us. >> berlin says it is authorizing the deployment of 400 troops to help station patriot missiles on turkey's border with syria. the move is a sign of solidarity with turkey, also a nato member. >> dutch and american soldiers will also be engaged in the mission. the german parliament still needs to ratify the plan, which is initially limited to one year. >> nato missiles are being deployed at turkey's request. the joint statement by the german defense and foreign ministries described turkey as the nato member most at risk from the civil war in neighboring syr

germany will bear 730 million of that in the coming year. the opposition accuses the government of misleading the public about the true cost of helping greece. they say it will be necessary to restructure the debt. >> everyone knows that greece is bankrupt and that it cannot service such huge debt, and everyone knows that nothing will change in the long term and that the situation will only get worse with every year and every austerity package, and that is why the debt will have to be written off eventually, and that is going to be very expensive for germany. >> the opposition says a debt write off will have to happen, and say the finance minister is not coming clean about the cost to taxpayers. >> in washington, budgets have stalled again just months before what has become known as the infamous fiscal cliff. president obama appeared at a factory in pennsylvania making his case for raising taxes on top earners and accusing a handful of republicans of holding up a deal. if a deal is not reached by december 31, a $600 billion combination of ta

saying that this case proves that germany is in the cross hairs of jihad terrorism. how serious is that correct? that is certainly not something a politician says lightly. >> when you mention the g hottest threat, we can say that in germany, we have not had the kind of attacks on public transport we have seen in other european capitals like in madrid and in london, but it is worth remembering back in 2006, sued his bombs were deposited on commuter trains in germany that could have caused immense human damage. they did not because of construction errors. those devices were also built according to internet designs, and those attacks were blamed on g hottest at the time. it is no wonder, therefore, the german authorities are so vigilant in pursuing homegrown islamist militants and four and g heists -- for an -- foreign jihadists. >> the german finance minister faced questions today not about money but instead on how a german neo-nazi gang was able to carry out a 13-year murder spree. >> that is because he was the interior minister for part of that time. he denied sugges

he worked in germany for 40 years and then retired. he is being looked after by a turkish-speaking caregiver. >> it is special to be able to combine the german and turkish cultures, especially because of the language issue. that is what i like the most. >> after the home visit, time for a quick meeting with the manager, himself a son of immigrant workers. >> my main goal was to help improve the final years of first-generation migrants to germany, to give them better quality of life through professional care in their mother tongue. >> business is booming. waiting lists for multilingual care services are growing. >> all right, well, we have to take a quick break, but we will have a lot more news in just about 1 minutes time. >> stay with us. >> it is the dream of many but realized by few -- north koreans who want to escape the oppressive regime face a dangerous path. even if they manage to defect, it can take years to get to the south. >> once there, they face even more challenges. we look at some north korean defectors who made it to th

she is the most popular politician in germany. her popularity ratings significantly surpassed those of the party as a whole, and therefore, the party is happy to have her as its head as it goes into next year's elections. the reason for that popularity is very much her handling of the eurozone crisis, the very same attributes that annoyed many of the eurozone member countries -- her caution, her insistence that structural reform must precede bailouts. >> this is being dubbed the merkel show. can she deliver, though? >> in fact, she is very much the main message here at the party congress, but not the only message. as we heard in the report, the party has been at pains to show itself as a modern party, a party focused on diversity. there were strong warnings to business, for example, that it needs to get more women into top management positions. we heard a very long discussion about tax treatment of same-sex marriages. the cdu trying to show itself as a party that is delectable by urban voters and that stands for diversity, as i sa

east germany is not east germany. it is part of germany, so it is indistinguishable. west germany is poorer in some ways than poland, a country that has recovered more vigorously than the eastern part of germany. poland is a very vibrant democracy, maybe too vibrant, but it plays a very important and central role in europe. it is a member of nato. it is the largest of the former east european countries. it has a larger role in that region than anybody else. hungary is still a democracy, and it is a liberal capitalist state. it has been badly governed and the last 20 years, and if this bill in many ways -- there are many hungarian institutions that have not been reformed much. there is a far right in hungary. there is an unattractive and left as well. it is a less happy and less stable state, but it is still a democracy and still a very open society. >> at what point in your research did you say i did not know that? >> constantly. i was constantly running into -- one of the things that happens when you read archives, when you read communist archives, you discover behin

he has been studying medicine in germany for five years and is now doing his residency. he is having trouble concentrating on his professional career. his family can no longer support him financially. that means he spends long hours at the hospital perform ultrasound, x-rays, and supervising therapy. he also has a part-time job on the side. it is an exhausting routine that leaves little time for anything else. >> when i finally get home, i just want to lay down and do nothing. but that is also difficult. i watched the news -- i watch the news. i try to contact my parents to make sure they are still alive. >> hthis group is well aware of the concerns. they look after foreign students at the university. >> the major problem is financing their living expenses, but there is also the psychological burden that often hinders their studies. >> the german academic exchange service involves -- seeks to provide aid with support from the foreign ministry, but their budget of 1.5 million euros is almost used up. the program expires in february. >> the interior and foreign ministries

the index takes the pulse of 7000 companies across germany. for more now, we had to the franc fort -- frankfurt stock exchange. positive news on the german economy. has that brought some cheer on the floor there? >> this is indeed a very nice christmas present and a strong signal that the german economy will recover again after its winter sleep, but the dax did not make a huge step forward. the stronger than expected ifo index may prevent european central banks from lowering interest rates again. >> we have had developments also in a libor scandal that broke earlier this summer. tell us about that. >> yes, the news is very bad. ubs has to pay the record fine of 1.2 billion euros in this libor scandal and its manipulation of interest rates. some british banks also have to pay millions of euros, and also deutsche bank is involved, and it is also in focus because exactly one week ago, hundreds of policemen into a bank in search of proof of tax fraud. hsbc has to pay $2 billion in a money-laundering case. the financial industry is working very har

the periphery as well as those nations such as germany merkel pounds trim. austerity in germany in two thousand and thirteen and that's ahead of the election towards the end of yes is quite a risk to take. so really it doesn't come as a huge surprise now speaking of this election industrial production has been dropping and it seems the recession is inevitable and least in the fourth quarter of this year now do you think this might impede angela merkel's chances and. then they would certainly hope going to. do her any favors i think for german electorate the most important thing is that germany is not just writing a check to the likes of greece spain portugal ireland those countries that have been bailed out of spain hasn't formally been bailed out but for those countries that have requested for bell outs from the eurozone. the fact that she has refrained from sort of our rights writing off of that series of that is that's the key. issue for. voters at the moment she hasn't done yet so. she has the. advantage but as mentioned getting calls these these economi

are saying that germany is taking rather a soft approach in condemning israel over these new settlements well our we didn't do the same as france or the united kingdom you know summoning the ambassador but our spokesman of the government made it very clear in his daily press conference that we condemn this and that we are against settlements so of course we are still under the pressure of our history of holocaust so there is a special relationship between germany and no doubt lot of international pressure against israel at the moment isn't there yes of course and it's building up so it really depends whether israel is now giving in and not building. new houses in the settlements or just continuing it but i think the main card game in the hands of the united states of america and we have to see what will be you do your reaction of obama i think the europeans in the overwhelming majority are against new settlements because we teach this really. the sort of finishing signal for any peace process building up a second state besides israel is taking a real gamble here and it really is in dange

she emerged as perhaps the world's most powerful woman, certainly germany's most popular politician, but 2013 could well be a year of living dangerously for the german chancellor. at a recent conference, she rallied the troops for an election in september. >> we have kept our promise. through our leadership, germany has emerged stronger. >> she repeated her tough stance on bailouts and the need for budgetary tightening that made her so popular in germany, but her problem is even coming first in the elections will not be enough. >> she has a very unstable coalition. she needs the coalition right now. she is considered to be a favorite coalition partner. >> at this time, the arithmetic suggests that her new coalition partner after the vote will be her biggest political opponent. this would likely signal a shift away from their hardline austerity in europe. at least at the 2013 predictions are borne out. she may have steered a steady course in the euro zone, a sovereign debt, and banking crisis, but the journey is far from over. >> problems will come again from the financial crisis. we

germany more so than england. therefore, by the end of world war ii, when you have unloaded however unwillingly its colonies, those colonies were themselves designed on principles of civil law. us, the first two pillars taken together mean that a christian, protestant religion influenced and shaped everything about american foundation of laws and defined its system of personnel rights. it wasn't just that the united states was a democratic republic, but that the very premises of what a democratic republic meant were likely to be far different in the united states than anywhere else. the second of, third of the pillars involves economic freedom. private property rights with legal titles and deeds, anti-free market economy. now, these may seem synonymous, but they are not. as hernando desoto pointed out, in many places of the world, there is and the symbols of a free economy at work. but there's no system of title deed to land or other property. this has two significant affect. first it means property ownership is n

missouri and washington state are as different as germany and greece. what is it that keeps the united states together? you had a great depression here in the 1930's. things were awful. and yet, i do not believe there were any political movements to get rid of the deficit states from the united states, like there are in europe and portugal and spain and everywhere else that happens to be in deficit. the reason is, the federal- state, especially after 1929 plays the role of the regulator of surplus and deficit recycling around the land. let me give you a simple example. we are in seattle. boeing is sponsoring the lectures. when boeing goes to washington to give a contract for the next generation jet or whatever, they may get it. they do get it. but there are some things attached. like for instance, we want a factory that builds the wings are the engines in tennessee or missouri or arizona. in the deficit regions. this is not philanthropy. this is an act of recycling surplus so the surpluses of the surplus state can continue to be created, produced. you m

germany will be giving more financial aid towards greece now we saw m.p.'s voting with four hundred seventy three saying yes to this aid package one hundred saying no and eleven abstentions now what this does mean though and it's being talked about throughout the week is in next year alone it could cost germany over seven hundred million euros but we are seeing the politicians at least giving their support financial support towards greece but that support isn't being particularly backed up by some of the electorate here people on the streets of germany suggesting that perhaps greece should be left to its own devices. that is enough because we won't see this money ever again. at some point it should be stopped it's high time they were capable of helping themselves we're ok for now but someday we could also go broke there's alice speck north like no doubt to vice is all you we have already given at least so much more on the issues started only a lot going on hunger strike. and there's nothing more it's made i don't well they were people speaking just outside

all in all, people in germany have donated 600,000 euros to assyrian refugees since august. but relief workers need much more. >> the donations will never be penough. just imagine -- more than 3 million, 4 million, or 5 million people have fled. there are a lot of different estimates. they have left their homes, and some have even left the country. not even 1 million or 10 million euros can help. >> all the same, he wants to keep raising funds. he is already planning his next trip to the syrian border for early 2013. >> helping those in need was also underscored by the german president in his first christmas message to the nation. he reminded germans that their country had not been hit as badly by the financial crisis as some other european countries. >> he also talked about the importance of tolerance in everyday life and called on germans to open up to helping others. >> yes, we want our country to show solidarity, a country that opens doors to a good life for the young and makes room for the elderly. an african mother at a refugee center recently put her baby in my arms.
