the prime minister is still very well coordinated with angela merkel.tw countries are still basically having the same policies, basically. sarah: ok, that is on the local level, and on the national level, there is talk about border control and fences. can germany build a fence, for example? hans: i think that is unlikely because angela merkel has said no fence or wall is going to stop people from arriving in germany. that is not likely to happen. there has been some speculation that the very, which is a federal state close to austria, might do something on its own, might have some kind of border control on its own, but it really has no legal right to do that. on the other hand, the central german authorities do want more control over who is coming in, and they are thinking about setting up camps for the refugees so that they can get that control. sarah: hans in berlin, thank you. now, there is a new seat at the negotiating table and talks over the future of syria. iran will join talks after accepting an american invitation to participate. this is the fi

angela merkel could pick up the prize.s, what might be good for angela merkel not so good for her political career. hans: it is because what she would get it for, that his -- is her open arms approach to the refugee crisis. her political sending in germany has taken a battering. she was at 75% a few months ago, she is down to 47% now. 3-1, all of that is speculation. the only people they know this is the five members of the norwegian committee. if he does get it will bring attention in germany to what has been not an unpopular position but one on the refugees that internally within her own party is getting a harsh look. there was considerable concern, we should run through some of the other names. no one knows whether merkel is close to it. the other names include eric priest helping with the gps coordinates to the people aren't stranded. there is pope francis, there is ukwegwe who is helping victims in this country. of candidatest out there. we have to wait until an hour and 13 minutes by my clock we will know. if it is m

sarah: that situation has prompted angela merkel to make an unscheduled visit to ankara. our political correspondent is at our parliamentary studios and joins us now. when is this meeting due to happen? guest: it is due to happen this coming weekend and it was planned at quite short notice, which is unusual, given how busy the chancellor's schedule is. there's another unusual aspect -- just two weeks before the elections, normally a head of state would not go there and germany would be at pains to maintain neutrality given the fact the government up for reelection has been subject to considerable criticism in berlin. so the chance that she is taking this unusual step can be seen as an indication of the degree to which people here are very concerned about the stability of turkey. the german government spokespersons that germany has a vital interest in a stable turkey. why is that? three reasons. many of the refugees pouring into germany are passing into turkey and there are still 2 million refugees in turkey right now in camps. germany has a large turkish population here a

we will see what merkel does of her colleagues. has put her chief of staff in charge of the refugee crisis. the criticism of merkel has been that she has been not bringing her colleagues with her. george: she is deathly giving push back -- definitely giving push back. is -- it is a massive party challenge for merkel. even with the cdu up north, she is facing challenges internally. how she glosses over this internally, and also asked and that on the international chain -- stage is a challenge. the numbers are shifting and changing. this define her legacy? she must be thinking that now. merkel has another two or three years. hans: maybe another term. of: read between the lines what is coming out of berlin, maybe that is not the case. is this for legacy moment? this could be the defining element. she has dealt with greece, that did not go well. she needs a win. hans: her legacy will be one of a journey. she started off a preacher's daughter in east germany. she became the first chancellor from the east. i don't know what her internati

angela merkel said she pushed for two-state solution. perhaps the john kerry meeting on thursday morning will offer some grounds for diplomatic movement forward because john kerry is later expected to fly through the middle east and meet with mahmood abbas. but we're not seeing any tangible signs of progress. >>> the controversial remarks by benjamin netanyahu, but the grand mufti of jerusalem in the 1940s inspires the final solution, the holocaust. he gave the idea to hitler. since then benjamin netanyahu has roa rode back from that and said that hitler was responsible. but these remorse did not go over well in germany. angela merkel said she saw know need to reinterpret history. germany and the nazi regime bore sole responsibility for the holocaust. this is a crucial part of this country's sense of identity, the moral foundations of how it rebuilt itself as a democratic, tolerant state after the second world war. >> russian defense ministry said that it's planes have struck dozens of targets in syria in the last 24 hours. the news agen

are under sustained pressure from government and some political leaders are going in to see angela merkelnd simultaneously oppressing these grass roots groups so this is a recognition by the nobel peace prize committee of the important role that these groups have and the way that they can help bring committee together, ensure the nations stay together and can prevent civil war so i think that is a really nice nod in the right direction. >> recognition for work that is actually being done and to a large extent completed rather than work that is yet to be done because it was a great deal of talk about one santos and huminez with regard to the columbia peace process as we know has not been yet signed and sealed. >> yet, precisely. and i think the committee has given the praise prematurely, awarding president obama a few weeks into his first term with the nobel peace prize, i think in hindsight would be seen as a bad decision and i think angela merkel was seen as a frontrunner, of course she has played an important role with refugee crisis but the refugee crisis has not finished yet and there
