with the approval of the basic law constitution the federal republic of germany all west germany was established in 1949 you have your before nonce here. looking back on 70 years of german history here we see kind of had no assigning the basic law. not. a lot of germany was still in ruins but no i wanted to emphasize the importance of this historic moment in so he used the very grand gilded silverware from cologne town hall in. the start of the establishment of west and east germany in 1949 sealed the division of the country. became the provisional capital of west germany and the seat of its parliament. its fast freely elected members sat on these chairs. and you all this tells us something about the 1st west german parliament. we got some of the original seats and created this display also the podium and lectern from which are no and others address the assembly element. we have some speeches about nuclear weapons which was a major issue back then and. i look at some and also lighthearted and even gravity one. which show how parliamentarians sometimes let rip. important moments from

is germany prepared for the future. we're in berrigan this was once norway's most polluted intersection don marks plus the junction of 2 major transport routes now the city's biggest electric vehicle charging station is located here. do you feel like a pioneer do you feel quite normal what normal is it's more 3 birds that don't have to pay the full grown folks have to go through a gas station and it's only if that's what i would say as well it doesn't work because it's so complicated although. it's not all that will you have a go back to an engine car doesn't it then. no other country in the world has more electric cars per capita than norway 65 percent of all new cars sold here are electric or hybrid models the figures just 7 percent in germany it's not a coincidence it's political will norway wants to be a pioneer it seems climate protection as an opportunity for its economy not a threat it's already world leader in a mission free technology for ships. drivers of electric cars enjoy tax exemptions for free or cheap or

they moved from western germany's eastern germany and vice versa obviously too so i do think. that are the country is united. but there are still many. issues in which you can actually see the eastern germany is still not as far along as western germany in regards to economical status financial security. all of these things and obviously also politically the fd as much stronger in these cuts in the states than it is in western western states but i have to say i don't agree with you on that it would be. a catastrophe for democracy if the left party and that city you went into a coalition and got book i think it's actually quite interesting. well the catastrophes the democracy of not interesting that that got us to freeze none the less. it what you need to know about chrissy is. a balance between right and left and if you have the seed you really. are forming a coalition with what used to be the communist government apart in east germany. just to prevent our- to avoid going into a collision with a fifty then i think democracy really is being stood stood on its head and it. inter

on a cultural issue welcome to the show germany's far right alternative for germany makes significant gains in 2 state elections the f.d.a. became the 2nd strongest party and regional parliaments and both saxony and brandenburg germany's mainstream party suffered sharp drops in support but were able to maintain their top positions let's take a look at the numbers. these are the latest projected results based on a partial count of the vote the results at this stage for brandenburg show the social democrats who currently govern the state at 26 percent maintaining the top position while losing votes the christian democrats are at 15.7 percent a heavy loss for chancellor angela merkel's party the left party is at 10.8 percent also a significant loss and the far right comes in at 23.5 percent lending as we said in 2nd place the greens take 10.7 percent a very good result for them regional party the brandenburg united civic movement free voters take 5 point one percent the business friendly f.t.p. at 4.4 percent gaining some but not enough to win any seats in the state parliament and other

fast with at least one big twist this october fest with hundreds of thousands of visitors isn't in germany at all so where is it. 1st off though and summit look at life inside the former east germany a dictatorship that hundreds of people died trying to escape now though almost 30 years after the fall of the berlin wall initiators of a new project called open memory box say it's time to finally start looking at other aspects of east germany too. personal memories were coded in a country that no longer exists. these home movies capture assigned of the former germany most outsiders never knew private recordings that are now public thanks to documentary filmmakers herskovitz political scientist lawrence murphy folds the collected 415 hours of home movie rails showing what real life looks like for real people under the socialist regime. the resulting website open memory box allows visitors to click keywords in english german french or russian watching clips from the archives of $149.00 german families. the footage is universal most of these films seem like they could have been filmed most anyw

germany at the time after time the republic. and germany today. just alfonzo the shadows of the construct each. x. the future. time on today. in 15 minutes on d. w. . the last sentence of that i don't need to see couple of brave elegant go for over the rats and home the 4th and for the whole of the closeness even that makes them look. the bottom this is the band aid at the nasa dragons which were called to her through you. know we've got. this is deja vu news live from berlin britain's supreme court set to decide if prime minister boris johnson broke the law he stands accused of overstepping his powers by suspending parliament just 5 weeks before the breakfast deadline how might he respond if he loses this historic ruling will go large a lot. also coming out a sting.

we know that this man is in germany. he belongs to the other codes brigade in north and in 100 watt. we assume that he was involved in numerous crimes against civilians in the middle east how we're currently trying to gather as much evidence on him as we can. and loved. and how do. we discover that mohammad s lives in the northwestern german city of us now puk. so we set out to find him. but we soon discover that he's given out a number of fake addresses. we go to enquire at one of the locations. we show the photograph of the suspect to one of the residence he tells us that he's been living here for 20 years and has never seen the man in the photo. but then we strike lucky. we meet someone who knows mohamed us from doing a german language course. he tells us mohammad has smoked a lot and seemed restless and stressed none of the other pupils knew where he lived if he met up with anyone and only in town. we're told that even when he has his furniture delivered he has it dropped at this open space. his behavior is certainly

but rather with germany telling the chancellor he hopes germany will accept more chinese companies and loosen export rules for certain goods he went on to say once again that china promises to open up its economy even more. china is becoming an ever more important trading partner for the european union since 2002 a trade.

will turn to for germany party or a.f.d. is celebrating the anti immigration euro skeptics came 2nd in state elections and brandenburg and saxony significantly increasing their influence on those parliaments. it becomes one of the party's biggest victories harbor if the next steps are not clear the ruling christian democrats have already confirmed they won't work with the f.t. the outcome will become clear later this year as peter over reports. also fame brandenberg it was a win for the social democrats in a campaign that they were neck and neck with a if they threw out the alternative for germany picking up around 23 percent of the vote there with the social democrats winning on 25 percent in saxony we saw massive gains for alternative for germany it wasn't enough for them to win the state that went to the christian democratic union i'm glad merkel's policy but 2728 percent for alternative for germany in saxony could end up rising as high as 30 big gains for them there and that's what it is the sensational results we have a

has with china and china is trying to pull germany to this high. in this in this trade war to to maintain a multilateral order as they say however germany is where are you about this so is a skeptical about china's intentions as well so we are not going to see the let's say political deals on trade ok michelle as there's only skepticism about china there's also concern about issues like intellectual property china not investing enough in germany or in some areas investing too much if the threshold whereas the state looks rather carefully. at tinies investments in germany with low it particularly china took over kuka which is the high tech company here dealing with robots that was seen as a bit of a traumatic event here and but the real question is what will happen once germany no longer has that technological edge because that's after all what time is most interested in and that's also where the whole intellectual property rights issue comes in but one thing is for sure both sides right now know that they need each other and get it they both need e

i have been to germany and i think the poles the poles really demand of germany the germans confront themselves with the bitter truths even if it is rather late to be doing the time to make good make recompense for the for the cruelty that was joe let's bring that quickly our viewers up to date before we talk a little bit more we are looking at pictures here in the right hand box there on your screen these are commemorations taking place at the moment in warsaw these are events marking the start of world war 280 years ago and the german president fact is the guest of honor and he will be arriving we hope shortly where he will be taking part in a military ceremony there are various events planned and then there will be speeches from the french and polish presidents and also the u.s. vice president. will also be on hand mike pence will be there giving a speech as well and those are the pictures we're looking at will live listen into those speeches live wojciech picking up on on what peter just said there poland's understanding of how it was impacted by the invasion the war it is incred

italy and germany. well, ideologically, aren't they more alike, but historically the italians didn't like the germans very much. they got smashed by them in world war i and the germans didn't respect the italians at all. hitler happened to respect mussolini, the elder fascist states person. but until 1935 italy was a more consistent hard core opponent of german expansion than either britain or france, and she did this by trying to protect the independence of austria. so there would be space between italy and germany. would you want germany on your border? but at the same time mussolini had big eyes for empire. he was jealous of what hitler was doing, and he was jealous of the british empire, and he was jealous of the french empire, and he wanted equivalent status for himself and for the italian people. so when he goes into ethiopia thinking well, the british and french have done nothing about german expansionism, why should they oppose what i'm doing, he uses airplanes. he uses poison gas against people

in 2018 china was germany's biggest trading partner for the 3rd year running by letter. trade reaches almost 200000000000 euros. but the price of trading with china is high with regard to free market access for example despite many promises german companies complain they're at a disadvantage in china. with regard to industrial espionage and counterfeiting foreign companies that work with china lose millions to piracy. and then there's the social credit system beijing's way of monitoring evaluating and analyzing citizens and businesses. german companies fear all encompassing surveillance. is china using to tell us here in methods to conduct trade. china creating a. style system of controlling its own citizens. about the social credit system. i think it's very interesting to look at how that discussion what's going on here in germany for example and what's going on with the discussion going on in china now specially if for example about the credit system and believe it or not many think it's actually a good thing because it used to look at the crime rates. and then people

germany and europe at the end. to what's going on between china and the u.s. at the moment if you if we look at the discussion about the chinese company huawei and zte and sente eat and all which is like the i.t. industry of china of china like is there a way of of that industry becoming part of the european 5 g. networks for example or what's the u.s. reaction and what is like with all the companies supporting like tiny parts for any of the goods to u.s. companies than so the big danger i think is that europe and germany will be kind of might be a victim of a decoupling system of 2 systems so the rivalry at that point will not be healthy atoll it will lead to a very very big problem for for the germany common economy for the european economies and then also for the world economy so i think there is a point where we everybody has to go back and say do we really want thought and to what extent do we to do we want to put our positions forward and not and not withdraw. its already according to critics of beijing business with china really takes place on an even p

stories and discussions between you and welcome to the debut suffocating program tonight from one germany from the use of easy to our website to deputed smash africa join us on facebook w. africa. dot reprogram your vanity group to work. out about. their dark. past and present in the weimar republic the ideology of ethno nationalism was widespread and eventually became the foundation of the nazi regime. 'd was a stream right in germany today is clearly drawing upon this old focus ideology this path no nationalism this was right wing extremists today are stoking fears of immigration and what they call the great replacement stuff because i was toshiba's most of the great replacement is when the majority population the native population is displaced and replaced by a mine. when the ethnic composition of a population is turned on its head. and once again the new rights ethno nationalist ideas are companied by racism and anti semitism. everyone knows which old parasites we're talking about. the new right rejects today's germany and believes the time is ripe for a national transformation by the

side germany will simply no longer be so interesting for the chinese and that's something germany is getting more protective about at the same time he wants to see multinational engagement and here we might be seeing a bit more of a new alliance almost certainly common ground between time and germany in opposition to the united states or more multilateral as if michelle it oftener than just buildings or thanks very much for coming in this morning. let's review down some of the other stories making news today the death toll from hurricane dorian will be staggering that according to the bahamas health minister at least 30 people are confirmed dead but thousands are still missing after plowing through the bahamas dorian is now threatening the u.s. state of north carolina bringing to nato some coastal flooding. clashes have broken out in southern mexico between migrants and security forces the migrants from african countries and haiti want users to continue north mexican authorities have stepped up their efforts to restrict migration and migrants passing through mexico on their way to th

germany's federal prosecutor is investigating the now 19 year old she suspected of spying for islamic states intelligence service and supporting the terror group plan or denies the allegations the german government will decide if and when she may come back home meanwhile her father mike messing can't wait. for more on this let's bring in mathias fawn hi who is part of investigative team and following this story for us mathias we saw the story of leonora there just give us the broader perspective how many former ins members are still being held in northern serious prison camps and who exactly is holding them. as far as we know there are about 60 men roughly 60 women and more than 120 children being held in northern syria and the people holding them are authorities. syrian democratic forces who fought isis together with the united states and the international coalition to fight isis. but there is a captured them and they hold them in camps in northern syria mainly the whole camp where about 75000 people are living under very very bad conditions who military and was when it comes to food

the german fraternities are still the elite schools of germany's extreme right. their traditions are unchanged but how much of this ethno nationalist ideology still remains. we meet the fraternity spokesman philip stein and hala. what i want is for peoples and populations to preserve their relative homogeneity their traditions. how is that different from nazi racial theory. well racial theory is based on something very different ethnicity doesn't mean everyone is blond everyone has beautiful straight teeth or a particular shape of skull people is made up of a variety of qualities that have evolved organically over the centuries and i'm asking about this tradition of racial theory because it also involves this fear of intermingling. while as i've explained it's a fit of kinship and identity along with language and religious confession which are some of the things that the find a nation. and of course kinship and identity include some things that have nothing to do with racial theory but just with forms of expression with human forms. form as a this is like what. w

and that he people to remain in germany as resident. so there are ways to come into germany. and simply quote. what this miracle in our state which doesn't. own a will to do it but almost what you're saying here he would also require germany to violate the extradition agreement that it has with the united states. we know that snowden wants to go home to the united states but if that is not possible europe does seem to be his best alternative i want you to take a listen to what members of the european parliament have been say. recent scandals such as decent gate locks leaks the bundle up papers or cambridge i don't know if you do not have come to light without the coverage of missile blowers. we now have a manual for lawful whistle blowing i think it was time for us to develop it. now and. she done if mr snowden had to be in european he would not be exiled in a little dutch in moscow. a little dutch in moscow i mean mr de do you agree with those members of parliament here in europe that snowden would have been treated differently had he been a european whistleblower instead of

i was so pleased when i heard that germany wants to prosecute war crimes. thank her it's me to go to the authorities and give evidence i see it as a chance to get justice not only for me but for all the other prisoners too. the 2 suspects are expected to go on trial early next year. helps and the survivors are our main lead yet as this case shows where 2 people are now in custody anwar r. and a. and it was through contact with the witnesses that we are supporting that we discovered that this anwar are was said to be in germany. but once we realized the federal prosecutor was already investigating it was clear that we didn't need to take any action. that's why we were content then to just support their investigations thank you. we want to know what syrian lawyer an oil burning knows about the suspect we've been investigating mohammed s. we share with him the information we received about possible crimes carried out by muhammad s. . yet had to show. we know that this man is in germany. he belonged to the brigade in north and in 100 out. we assumed that he was

we brought the photos to germany we've been working with the e.c. c.h. and with other organizations in germany and in sweden to bring charges against syrian leaders on the basis of these photos. to be. a money while i'm self feed to international. media the number has been written directly on the body. this is the symbol for syria's air force intelligence service and here on the paper is the victim's number. all and here again force intelligence. and finally the corpses been given a number. when we look at the photos smuggled out by caesar it's clear that this torture is terrible and above all systematic it's always the same injuries that we see on. the bodies of the prison those that and even now prisoners in syria suffering the same torture every day. after fleeing syria madea on how doc shared everything she knew with the e.c.c. h.r. and the german authorities. the syrian lawyer abraham sam knows her story and has often asked her to repeat it. how long was he detained the 1st time. in 33 days in the 1st prison and another 33 in the 2nd. the ngo range

very hesitant and if germany or if the u.k. if they say listen we can't wait any longer for the technology we have to buy some of it from who way they're making it though they're making a decision that goes beyond infrastructure it's a political decision and in your opinion is it also a national security decision it's a national security decision for sure i do believe that we have to have secure networks we can do without that i think we do need to source those from companies that are trustworthy some of these are western companies ericsson nokia some of the american companies like cisco and others they can step in and fill the gap can they can they do that right now well it's very difficult because while way is admittedly ahead so we will need time we will probably need huawei equipment and the 1st generation of the next network but then let's see let's test whether data is actually getting leaked and siphoned off prove it and then get other companies to fill the gaps take the equipment out which is very costly it's costly and

that the people of germany must stand with the people of hong kong beijing though immediately let it be known that there will be consequences and many are asking how much of a threat is china to western democratic values while on her recent trip to china german chancellor angela merkel called for a peaceful end to the hong kong crisis saying anything else would be quote a catastrophe this is thousands of protesters continue to take to the streets all phone kong on an almost daily basis and ahead of celebrations on october the 1st among the 70th anniversary of the people's republic on question is the long march china's path to global supremacist. so a very warm welcome indeed to the 1st edition of the w's new international political talk show to the point with me peter craven the focus this week is on china's expanding global role and my guests chen so on a freelance journalist from china she says i'm glad mathilde's visit to china came into a difficult moment but she accomplished a mission impossible also with us is out on every must former china correspondent for germany say on. the

and i would hope and wish that germany would stand up and promise to make a step forward germany has played a very important role over the years as a climate leader by itself and within the european union and we wouldn't be standing here today you know why even it hadn't been for the it leadership shown by the european union by the small on states and many vulnerable countries but now is that moment in history where the science is so compelling that the situation on climate change is really running out of control from the scientific point of view temperatures are rising faster sea level is rising faster there's a tick streams there's very intense tropical cyclones and hurricanes damaging parts of the world the science could not be clear on that we have to make in my distant forts are countries like germany have to work out their own politics to move things forward every country has its own difficult politics this is the world we live in but political leaders really need to to show the way forward climate scientist bill hemmer there speaking to our alexander phenomena in new york want

the biggest thing germany can do is reduce its fossil fuel consumption germany only wants to phase out coal energy by 2038. in the meantime it wants to tax carbon dioxide a carbon tax would make coal and other fossil fuels more expensive. but the proposals targeting fossil fuels have been met with resistance coal miners and other industrial workers fear for their jobs. climate activists have taken to the streets hoping to persuade the german government to take action now. while demonstrators want action now as we just heard there in the german government come up with a policy that will satisfy the demonstrators in berlin and elsewhere in germany today. well it's definitely a very high if not impossible task for the german government's i'm standing here just before the german chancellor rhee where leaders of the 2 coalition parties and i'm going to america's christian democrats and the social democrats have negotiated all night to come up with this comprehensive policy package that they will release later today but the german government as we've seen in the report is under a lot of pres
