why hasn't not struck in germany? i germany has security and intelligence. they are hard-working and they have good cooperation with several countries. we know from the statements of the intelligence and security officials. another reason is also because germany is a country, a pluralistic country, religious groups in germany are not radicalized. i think this is very important to maintain. fundamentalists do not have to much support in germany. i think compared to other european countries -- >> a pluralistic tolerance society, but alan posener is a more police? more control of data? where does it end? that doesn't stomach a tolerant society. >> i do not agree that we need more and more security. turkey is a country with a lot of security. i mean -- >> -- >> you cannot move in turkey without -- there are video cameras everywhere. everybody is under control, what internet, what utah, everything. that is not the main point. the focus should be put on solutions to the political problems in the region. involved way too much in the sectarian and political, regiona

are some states trying to punish germany? host: the hungary premier referred to the crisis as quote germany's problem. what if anything could change that matter, view of the matter? what could compel european member states to make a good on what they have result to do? alan: basically, nothing. i can't even begin to say how horrible that statement is. it was merkel who helped him out of a crisis. thousands of refugees in the budapest station. she said, come to germany. she helped him out of a tight spot. he is unthankful and ungrateful. reasons for that than hungary. when did we help the greeks in the crisis? europeanthat eastern states, they are angry at us because we have incorporating with russia. everyone has a grudge against germany. most of them for good reason. going to help germany, it is not going to happen. did make it worse by making it look like the gates are open to germany. that added to the number of people going and rushing here. judy: i think merkel's miscalculation is twofold. believe welcoming the refugees,

what this has done in germany is it has galvanized the far right. the far right who has been demonstrating antiimmigrant antirefugee antimervelg, there wa anti-merkel, thechancellor has d changed her language on refugees. she says listen if you are convicted of an offense we must find a way to deport you, deport you to where is not clear and there would have to be change in german law for that to happen. >> this is not just a problem for germany where tensions are rising in the native population, this is all over europe. >> including sweden which is the most tolerant and the most welcoming to refugees. a similar incident where there was a series of mass assaults, people having their pockets picked, groping, it's not so clear that what happened in cologne was covered up as opposed to thought clearly understood but the information of what happened did not come out quickly on new year's day has angered the residents of germany. >> "america tonight's" sheila macvicar thank you. >>> next, the captured fugitive el chapo and why his next stop could be chic

at the moment is the alternative for germany. the party organizes demonstrations to which thousands of people come every week. in this course, in the society muslims are kind of a threat of potential threat and so it's very easy for right wing pop last partiepopulace parties or g populace movement to say we have to guard against this threat. >> protesting against islam and chancellor merkel's refugee policy. this dresden group was started by a party, called pegida, patriotic germans against the islamization of the west. joakim sniertim schneider is a 62-year-old unemployed engineer, living alone surrounded by hundreds of antiques and dozens of clocks. he says he has been out of work for almost a decade. it's what he reads about islam and right wing literate that scares him the most. >> the right of right wing populaces or parties we see at the moment is a great threat to the german society and to german democracy. these demonstrators who are calling all politician he who are not exactly doing what they want traitors of the people

and germany. how can the e.u. be brought on board to have the comprehensive policy you would like to support chancellor merkel's open-door policy? >> the reactions we have seen from eastern european countries to the situation of the refugees i find depressing and i feel that we are much further away from european values in the e.u. than we thought we were and this is a demonstration of that. anchor: what do you think we should see on the e.u. level? the prime minister says he currently holds -- he says we are running out of time and sharp reduction in the coming six to eight weeks and highlighting the increasing number of people who are coming coming by sea. what can the e.u. do? >> we can subsidize all these refugee camps in turkey and jordan so people do not dare to cross the sea to come into greece and then to germany. there are many possibilities. nothing is easy. but i think there is one fact, germany cannot take in the whole population of syria and it is not prepared to do so and there must be some regional

addressed was whether the current laws in germany are enough. she said she was open to discussing that because the political issue that has dominated berlin in the last few days is whether these laws are enough and when we're talking about these laws, we're talking about laws to quicker deport rejected asylum seekers, that's what they've been discussing the last few days and what merkel addressed earlier on. sarah: migration was already a hot topic before this incident in new year. what is this doing? thomas: it's putting pressure on merkel and her coalition. she spoke about the need to address cultural -- it means she's aware of the events in cologne and the links of those events with the general refugee debate and many germans are fearful of what it means to integrate more than a million refugees and people could use these events and those links politically to reject her open-door policy in germany. sarah: tell us more about that. there's been the rise of a right wing movement in germany, they want immigrants out of the country. this plays int

>> there is concern in germany in general.t refugees are coming from syria, iraq and afghanistan, countries where there is a very anti-somatic climate. this is not to mean that they are all anti-semites, but they have preconceived notions that are going to need to be addressed and reversed, otherwise it is a threat to the jewish community. sarah: this was a day of commemoration around the world and the message and many ceremonies was the desire to never forget, and to make sure this never happens again. what efforts are being done to that end? >> not enough. the importance of the holocaust is one of the overarching experiences in modern times. it is not just fully -- add ressed fully and it is getting harder to make young children understand. there needs to be a push at school levels in particular, but not that there, to help people understand the relevance of the holocaust today and why germany would reach out to refugees, for instance. there needs to be much more done to help young people understand even if they come from di

when: many poles say that germany calls for solidarity, for example, poland should help germany with this immigrant crisis, many people say, this is what you call european energetic solidarity, building another pipe? the first i was already a punch in the face. argument for an those people who say, this is not what european solidarity looks like. judy: i think there's a bit of too much german bashing in this sense. when angela merkel became chancellor in 2005, one of the first things she did was to repair the damaged relations between berlin and warsaw. she defended poland inside the eu when putin and the kremlin and forced a meat ban. wojciech: this north stream thing did damage to this relationship, but i agree that those relationships were blooming not only on political level, but also economic and social levels. peter: let's take a break for just a second. we are talking about developments in poland since the election. let's look at how europe, the eu, can react to them. have a look at what has been going on in the last couple weeks. >> in poland, it is not just the weather that'

how did it happen in germany? did it get worse in germany than it was here? >> the question is how did it start in germany? it starts out worth because germany is of course had to defeat, occupied by france, hyperinflation in the middle the decade. so they start out and then they go to six or 7 million unemployed in 1932-33. the communists -- the nazi have a certain stability in terms of membership. they hold their people. he pretty much stay with the party. and they hold their membership. the constant with the communist is almost all their members are unemployed. there's a big economic problem there. i'm going to cut things off now because of c-span to try the whole of the program within an hour for folks there. what not to want to wear out her welcome with that. thank you very much.

how do you think germany has been navigating that? >> well, i think the best thing to integrate people into society is by giving them opportunities, by allowing social mobility and being part of the society. germany has been lacking on those issues during the last years. but however, there were a lot of change during the last few years -- sarah: how do you think they were lacking? >> well, lacking in offering the same opportunities as citizens. immigrants have been lacking in the issue of attending better job opportunities because the gap between immigrants, people of immigrant backgrounds, and ethnic germans, for example, in the labor market, is a huge gap, and the unemployment rate is very high. people with educational backgrounds and even those who have the higher education have a very hard time in getting jobs, which relate to their own qualifications and so on. but nonetheless, germany has been working also on those fields. but now it is a challenge receiving one -- about one million, and integrating them into the educational sys
