. >> sreenivasan: is there political pressure on the angela merkel now. >> merkel is hugely popular. she has record popularity ratings, unprecedented in postwar germany. so she's in a good position. the german economy is doing well, and i think that's one of the reasons, one of the main reasons she can do this. but i spoke with one of her top advisers on thursday, and that person said that the mood can shift very quickly. we're already seeing attacks from her conservative sister party, the christian social union, which is based if bavarria. that's where most of the refugees are coming in. she has to be concerned about the mood shifting, certainly. >> sreenivasan: all right, there were also stories today about marches all across europe in solidarity with the refugees. >> that's right. it's been interesting. we saw merkel welcome these refugees with open arms, scenes of her taking-- refugees taking selfies with her when she visited a shelter this week. and that seems to have had an effect on the rest of europe. there was a french magazine that put a big picture of americaole its cover

to marchem is he has to merkel's own tune. it more if heike had done a deal with the greek opposition. he is developing some experience in governing. he got rid of the left forces. over time, this is a government that will have more flexibility working with the european commission the austerity being asked of them is not easy. as we look out over the next couple of years, there is a decent chance of a greek exit. the thing that worries me most about europe which we have not talked about is not greece. it is not the refugee issue. it is britain. charlie: what do you think of the new labor leader? ian: he is irrelevant, he cannot win. what worries me is the fact that labor has made itself politically irrelevant means the conservative party in britain, jeremy corbyn has one. hard left labor leaders, it means suddenly, david cameron's conservative party has nothing to worry about. that means all of the eurosceptic backbenchers suddenly do not have to align themselves with cameron. they can say whatever they want. this referendum o

merkel has changed, moved on, altered her view.t the beginning of the story, she was very much we were going to let people -- live up to the possibility of living in the eu. he will become the migrant friend. that was public opinion. but that has now changed. it is interesting to see the compare and contrast with other nations. ryan: if you think about it from an eu perspective, she was the tough guy when it came to greece. wasn't she? now he is the conscience of europe, or the she was when germany said there would let the men. now he has backtracked. to the badcomparing guys in place of her, the tough youce on the refugees, know, she is deploying, for example, the german chancellor germanmembers of the military to office duty to process the migrants they will let him. whereby he has deployed military on hungary's border with machine guns. there is a difference there. facing thean's border. but you're absolutely right, merkel has her work cut out for her. a lot of people in her country and throughout the union are saying, how do yo
