germany bulb deader. -- blundered. the war plan demand an assault of france threwthrough belgium berlin, formally notified london of its intention to invade. malka was so sure that britain would enter the war that he decided that marching through belgium would change nothing. he could not have been more wrong. that decision caused the british government to send an ultimatum to germany, committing the country to fight unless the invaders drew back, as of course they did not. on the 4th of august, britain was the last major european power to enter the struggle. it must be wrong to attribute exclusive responsibility for what happenin' 1914 to any one nation. but in considering what happened, i am drawn back again and again to the simple truth. scarcely any decent historian thinks the british, french, or russians wanted a european conflict. the mayor indians -- the germans, though they didn't want the big war they got, certainly willed a balkan won which they could have prevented at any moment by telling the austrians to s

>> the former german president said islam belongs to germany. in a way, this is a concrete expression of that, a recognition that we have a very large muslim population here, and that it's only appropriate that islam should be taught not as one used to say as oriental studies, but as islamic theology . that's the first point. these departments are conducting research in theology. second, religion is a subject at schools in germany, and muslims have long resented the fact that catholics and muslims could take their subject of religion at schools, but there were not lessons provided for muslims in schools. >> what about this mandate of the departments to help with the integration of muslims? >> this is a very difficult question. i think for the program to maintain integrity and respect among muslims in germany, it must be seen to be not an instrument of integration. if it were simply an instrument of the government to try to check perhaps extreme views among muslims, then it would be likely to be resented by many. i think that is a real danger. >>

nato that we have must be with germany and germany being a strong and critical player. and that makes what the last few weeks, last few months a very, very difficult time for all the reasons that we know. germany's strategic interests lies as germany has decided since 1949, and really, since it became a member in 1952 in nato to be at the center of nato. it has gone through some hard and difficult issues itself, not least in the decisions it made with respect to libya. it is now going through some difficult issues with regard to the relationship between the united states. i think the administration and the soon-to-be new government will work out on this issue. they have to. it's not all that difficult to figure out how to do that, to recognize that we have an intelligence relationship that is extremely important and that good judgment about how we use the technology capabilities we have is important for the relationships that we have with our allies. the really fundamental issue is to question whether germany is willing, because i think it's able, but whether it's willi

why is that well germany has been a target but it's also a player in the n.s.a. network one of the things that was learned through the documents from snowden is that much of the electronic espionage that was going on for example in afghanistan was carried out by the germans as part of an s. a. community sharing program. and you've also been to moscow while germany was new guy you say saying the assistance of edwin edward snowden in the probe of alleged topping on calls fun was helpful that. it was very interesting to meet with snowden in moscow it was. very interesting because of here his perspective on the on his situation and. yes it was very helpful. to actually any possibility for ed about snowden to test to find the investigation given the fact he has no asylum in germany. well that's one of the things that's being discussed is the question of how to get input from the person who actually knows the most about the documents right now all of the documents are being kind of read and reported on by journalists who of course you know are doing their best are doin

do you have any german connections and your feeling for germany. i think, you know, ian is exceptionally well equipped to write such an ambitious book because of your connections with england, with america, with holland, with germany and, crucially, with japan. >> i don't think it helps necessarily to know germany well or japan well to explain the human propensity for extreme violence. one of the reasons i'm very happy to be on stage with you is because i think we share a sort of horrified fascination with why people are capable of doing terrible things. and i don't think it's -- i mean, there are people who say, well, you can explain it because the germans had an exterminationist mentality which goes from luther to hitler, or the japanese are uniquely barbaric and cruel, anything like that. i don't believe that for a minute. and i think your question is a good one, is how is it that one of the most highly educated and civilized countries in europe produced so much extraordinary violence. because, yes, it was hitler who led it, but he couldn't have

what does this coalition agreement mean for germany's position on europe? >> well, i think it means more of the same. it means merkel's position is very much stronger. if the coalition agreement is approved by the social democrat grassroots, it will mean that merkel will be able to determine policy and should be able to argue policy, push it through in brussels. and she won't need to -- she hasn't until now had to do so to win the support of social democrats in parliament. that will be done a fine closed doors. what she is clearly going to do because it is an essential part of the coalition agreement is she is going to continue the link between income and spending. she feels justified in doing that, also, because of what is happening with greece, as we have seen with greece able to show a primary budget surplus this year. >> the latest on the coalition agreement. thanks very much. >> what to do with -- what do the representatives of german business make up the coalition? >> reactions are mixed. some expressed concerns over the coming minimum wage and expect

something that has certainly struck hold here in germany. keeping such close tabs on on each other and in fact that angela merkel's own private telephone may have been hacked by the united states it was noticeable today while she was speaking in parliament that she was using pen and paper as opposed to her. usual smart phone in hand that she usually house during these type of meetings. talk about how to rebuild that trust though it is said it's going to come down to an investigation the the opposition parties here in germany have wanted an extensive parliamentary inquiry they haven't been given that and they've criticized angela merkel for not going far enough when it comes to investigating these allegations of widespread spying ok the repercussions are happening now what's allegedly happened why is germany such a popular target for its allies to spy on what cigar. germany is the driving force of the euro zone it's the it's the only real success story economically in the in the monetary union at the time being and one of those things that ha

why is it wrong for america to spy on germany, but the not okay for -- it's okay for germany to spy on one of its nato allies, estonia. >> sorry. that's not germany versus the u.s. >> that he is they're small so it makes it all right? >> it is smaller, not as important for the world scene. but my point is that some of the german companies have a right to be outraged and angry at the u.s. they've got very, very good competitive technology that they're working with and if there'ses spee nash on an industrial level, they've got a right to be angry. >> they should be angry about the chinese espionage on germany which is colossal and we've seen no signs so far that the americans are spying on german companies for the competitive advantage of american companies. you see a lot of that in the chinese state espionage services spying on all sorts of western countries, stealing their services and taking them to china and trying to replicate them. it's distracted from the serious stuff which is about cyber crime, which is huge. >> i completely agree with that point. you know, i think we're losing

and that is because they have increased stem prices here in germany, but as well, the unit inside germany domestically is doing very well because more and more germans are ordering their goods online and that is delivered by dhl, as well. on the same time, the business internationally is doing pretty well, as well, for the last quarter. only revenues have came in slightly lower than expected. and that is because the currency effects have been weighing on those results, as well. with that, back to you. >> okay. thanks for that, annette. meanwhile, the ceo of unicredit says there's a opportunity for the bank, not a risk, after reporting a 40% slide in third quarter net profits. if ceo added he was confident the lender would pass the test. he said it had been a challenging quarter, but he was still pretty optimistic. >> i'm happy to say about the results because in any case through cost management and lower provision, we have been able to reach 200 million. we can do better, this is clear. but considering the market can be -- i think is a decent result. >> mr. ghizzoni speaking. european equ

the cost of climate change would also hit germany hard. by 2050, it would need to pay 130 billion euros more for energy and transportation. insurance companies would have to shell out an extra 100 billion euros for damage caused by extreme weather. treating tropical diseases in germany resulting from global warming would cost around 60 billion euros. climate change would also impact each is an ski resorts, costing germany another 30 billion euros. the world bank says the worst could still be averted, at a comparatively cheap price, just 550 billion euros. that is about 1% of what the global economy is worth. other analysts come up with different figures, but all agree on one thing. doing nothing will be more expensive in the long run. >> one could say that poland is an interesting choice for hosting this year's climate conference. considering the country will also host and international cold conference just a few days later. >> about 90% of poland's energy comes from coal and it is one of the most polluting fossil fuels. >> the ruins are r

and let's not discount the situation in germany with palin based political commentator said christan schmitz mr schmidt welcome to r.c. great to have you with us so what do you expect to come out of this because the understudy anything that. to be honest not very much we have to look at those entire scandal and political context as one who grew up in cold war germany where spying was the agenda of the day i receive german people agree that spying is one of the oldest viruses in the world and that we have some would have to live with that. secondly i'd like to mention that the two parties that you mentioned the so-called opposition parties each holding eight percent and will not have that much of a major impact apart from the fact that the new government isn't being formed right now on the top of the agenda only views that is whether or not we will get a government in the first place and then secondly will come some of the committees that may look into this by actions yes or no right and actually actually there have been so many reports that different european intelligence agencies ac

spying saga no germany it seems had been particularly targeted by the n.s.a. and by other spying organization she told by a b g c h q right then we heard about the british and american embassies appear in berlin apparently having spying nests on their roofs of recent in recent times so that all of these things are being discussed at the moment in parliament to try and find out just huge knew what about what was going on now it's worth noting this isn't the full poll of entry inquiry the opposition politicians here in germany have had called for particularly the left party on the greens they wanted a full inquiry this isn't it but they have what we have heard calls from senior parliamentarians here. from the government to put all of their cards on the table about just what was going on in terms of foreign spying here in germany so peace why do you think germany is such a popular guy target for its ally. well what we have seen is huge outrage here because of just how close the relationship was perceived to have been between the the german people and their allies

what's impossible in this debate no point finger at the umass but germany's intelligence services are also under scrutiny the opposition green and left parties in the bone this time are demanding answers from church the michaels a caretaker government stock. now that the social democrats who are in the middle of the coalition against haitians trying to form a government with council eccles conservatives are now considerably less strident in their criticism of touch them what a bed of a campaign in here in germany terry. what's interesting. earlier this month a poll came out showing that three quarters of germans do not feel that they have any personal disadvantage through the nsa spying scandal that it's not going to have any penny neocon sock went ahead naked consequencefor the. ton and only out a quarter are seriously concerned about the scandal as the holder of the analyst said look at that and trying to figure out why not and there's the suggestion that others is simply a fatalistic attitude among internet urs that they asse tha tir da i bei soped up anyway and that they don't exp

germany has always been a ghost driver. the rest of europe might like the fact that the reforms are slowed because it gives them a chance to potentially grow further. >> in europe, what it does is reinforce a difference of opinion between germany and france and italy. they don't want the european commission to decide on winding up banking should be a separate institution on that. they've moved away from allowing to directly recapitalize banks. this creates division. we don't know how to quite close it up, do we? >> no. there's always been this tension between the two parties. we still have to wait to see what happened with the omt court case and whether or not that's allowed. so germany continues to have to fund the rest of europe and the german taxpayers are not -- >> in fact, a story that will potentially become a headwind in 2014? >> i think it will. i think we're starting to see the rifts in the ecb in terms of last month's vote on the rate cut. the bank -- bundes bank came out very quickly saying that they weren't for

he's also played for germany twice. but now he has decreed his mental against oregon state won their last two matches in mind to when the home side one to end that line . he doesn't mean i can't guarantee that we'll succeed. but it's clear that only an exceptionally good performance will be enough for us to take the points going to win. zeke. it can come. when speed nobody in the champions league midweek but they lost their last two bundesliga matches hands need three points to keep in touch with the media is. john says that will drop in and win it by accident on that day. this just too much riding on the match opened to you. one mistake in the days have already shown the door and how it's done by an enemy that is in full with one four one points. find out more sports about the bundesliga on a website that said deed of the adoptees class. that's all from us for now but there's more to come to stay with us. the air. its. but that. men are created all that bad. boy don't generate enough about him and he me not the pd. ric

they went to to maintain the integrity of the your yehia and it's been confirmed both increase in germany and in all of the countries and the fourth reason is that the central bank is toast a very credible has said in the past that it could intervene to mentee in a mission of monetary policy in cases countries where behaving properly may and embarking on the appropriate structural reforms and that makes for he's ans why we could see very very big improvement in those solidity of the your if i may because you were had one of the most powerful organization europe the time. you must have your opinion on that even now your ad men of a great stature everyone asks you for advice do you think it's normal that even if it started in the united states and it triggered in the united states it's normal that no one has been held accountable for so i think that you cannot say that i mean you had a number as you know of fines here and there all over the advanced economies that have been decided upon you had a very large number of c.e.o.'s having to leave and quit those who engage in criminal activity ha

this is specific to west germany and also austria. so this is about wanting to return to normality and normal understanding of women's behavior and that kind of normality and yes. putting that history behind them and moving forward and there were steps the west germans took that were clearly indicative of napoli moving forward but letting people get away with murder. so the legal reforms, they let people re-enter the civil service. indicted eventually for killing 11,000 jews was able to go back into the police force after the war. these people could continue their careers in these professions and were clearly involved in the holocaust. that kind of story that surely shows the system was not aggressive enough. they could have interpreted the law differently. they became all about interpretation. they couldn't get -- the ukrainian guard who was convicted, that was a new understanding of the law. they decided at this late stage that because he was a guard, the primary purpose was to kill. it was a murder operation that one is by associat

which is fixed by definition neither in russia noise in france though in germany what you need is to create the condition for i would say appropriate behavior of your economy and i have to say that france knew that it is possible because in the eighty's and the ninety's we pursued a policy in friends of competent t.v. does inflation which was precisely improving competitiveness through unique labor cost being moderate you're after year after year and if we could make the euro do the whole it was because we had this long term strategy so you see in eighty and ninety proper he had behavior in since the setting up of the year whole germany in a bad situation fancied a good situation and then the situation leave earth because because germany was very very consistent in person competitiveness and i trust that. it is what my country should do take after all these years and all the problems tech european union has experienced do you still trust that it was a good idea to bring all these different countries and. of course of course i profoundly trust that and it seems to me you can look at t

military bases in germany and as we know today even private companies private u.s. companies are involved in the killings and killing attacks by the combat drones of the us and that's why i cannot see that they're really rejecting it or accusing it . is germany in essence saying one thing to the public and doing one thing basically privately in secret is that oh it's working no i think it's working in that way that they are want to be committed in more war more military interventions and this is a really big scandal because it's going to be more killings more people will die with this combat drones and in fact they are or they want to fight siding the u.s. with this military operations as we saw it in the last three years for example the social democrats they want to actually hear that germany will be involved in two of the not two one being against libya but conservatives they were against it now it's a different situation they want to be committed in more wars and more military operations that's what i can see from this agreement but what about the argument of cou

that's great for germany because exports create jobs and bring money into the country. in the countries that import german goods delivered it means fewer jobs and money leaving the country. when exports exceed imports the result is a current account surplus. for several years now. germany's has exceeded the eu limit of six percent which is designed to prevent imbalances. last year germany exported goods worth almost one point one trillion euros while imports amounted to only about nine hundred six billion. that puts the current account surplus had one hundred and ninety billion euros. now the eu commission has announced it plans to take a closer look at german economic data. this list does not necessarily mean that it is in balance but you'll need to examine these for them and understand whether the house of blues in gemini is something that is affecting the fraction of the uk economy as a whole there's been growing criticism of german economic policies. one complaint is that wages are too low. we just helped make german goods competitive but they also mean germans have

which already has some explaining to do over its a bird in the sea spying germany's holding a special parliamentary session on spying now speaks to all of our reports. what we're seeing right now is a special session of parliament as the all of the issues over just who knew what about what was going on with regards to the n.s.a. spying saga now the revelations that have come out from the leaks about edward snowden of hits home to killie hard here in germany it seems that germany may have been one of the the most targeted countries around the world by a foreign intelligence certainly though that's what the leaks from edward snowden would lead us to believe so the parliament is sitting for a special session to discuss just what it knew was going on what we have seen is is huge outrage here because of just how close the relationship with perceived to have been between the german people and their allies like the united kingdom like the united states it caused real outrage to move seen being voiced by demonstrations on the streets all throughout the summer here as well as states senior par
