>> john dixon was sigrid schultz.e 1930s as things got dangerous, she realized she might need a pseudonym. it happened in a very particular context. she received an instruction from the chicago tribune through the paris office, they had asked her to write an extended article about what was known as the night of the long knives. it happened two years earlier, this was in 1936 that she got the request. in 1934, in the summer, hitler had massacred the leadership of the storm troopers, and anyone else that he saw as a potential political rival. and now, sigrid wrote about it at the time, 11 articles over the course of several weeks. but now, colonel mccormick wanted a more extensive in- depth report on that event. but, the request came through paris. and the paris office wasn't living under the threat of the nazis, and they really didn't have an internal sense of just how dangerous things were. so, a woman from the paris office called sigrid in berlin, with the information, just totally clueless about the fact that the ph

well actually it's just a whole off. schultz has been the worst chancellor. the federal republic has ever had. germany is in the deepest, most severe economic, financial energy and migrant crisis, or parliament faction has just discussed this. even though there wasn't much to discuss. we won't support shots in the confidence vote, except for 3 persons worried frederick merits might become a war chancellor. what are you doing instead of seeking ties with washington in moscow, where the keys to peace lie, the chancellor and free drink merits go to kia, have to waste even more money than before. for administer bare bach, santa sizes about deploying german troops to ukraine and risking escalation. while mister murtz wants to risk world war 3 with the delivery of taurus cruise missiles capable of reaching moscow to ukraine. this will turn germany into a direct party to the war and the target of an impending nuclear conflict. germany in europe should never be drawn into war again. that right there is the german party leader with the most support among voters for ch

then schultz tells us finance minister. hey man, just missed your foot off off the debt break of it. so i can go on another 15000000000 euro spending joy ride for ukraine, and lender was like, i know how, but if you just desktop, some of those long range towers, massages you have over there in the closet and give those to your girlfriend instead. and schultz doesn't want to do that because it would mean babysitting. yeah, the. busy didn't start a 3rd world war against russia. so schultz and lynn are had a falling out over a month ago. now they're ultimately led to a breakup with lender and his yellow light centers walking way from schultz. this coalition table, like a teenage clique in the school cafeteria to of, to, from federal minister linda has brought close in an improper manner too often. he is engaged in petty poverty, political tactics too often he has broken my trust with off show top loan of sholtes has long sailed to recognize the need for a new economic awakening in our country is long play down the economic con

then schultz ever was life. that's germany's big issue right now, that it wasn't sick, the fancy cannot. under shots mark said that it was quote, embarrassing how schultz acted into european union. now schultz shrugged off north stream, being blown up and mertz doesn't think that he was enough of a team player. then you have the german anti establishment parties. try me in the left wing, pointing out that mr. piece here. charles has a bit of a weapon, spending problem, and suggesting that murtz already came close to triggering a world war when he wasn't even the chancellor. yet it's a good time to stay mocks. the glorious end of a government that has noticeably and permanently west and people's lives. they present themselves as chancellors of peace. and yet they support the largest rearmament program in the history of the alliance. you have full and too often mister schultz for us to trust, but you'll would on taurus will still hold off to the election. mister matt says recently developed memory gaps and can sud

earlier this month, chancellor off schultz rabbit dr. non confidence bus and promptly took a flying dive right under it. normally, someone else passes you under the bus, but schultz beat them to it. and then he wrote his own political, you gee, just to be sure that it's framed as a willing and selfless act of political sacrifice for the good of the nation, rather than just the pre empting oven inevitable. so let's start smart folks with see bringing forward the bonus tag collections is my go through it. the citizens will then be able to determine the political course of our country. that's what it's all about. therefore, i am raising the question of confidence for the voters. do we have trust in ourselves and our country? no point staying in power though when you can't get anything done because the yellow light, centrist party of your traffic light coalition government's majority bills out as it did earlier this year. and the majority of the bonus tag proved to be quite willing to indulge salts, approving his own notion of non confidence

>> john dixon was sigrid schultz.s , as things got dangerous, she realized she might need a synonym. it happened in a particular context. she received instructions from the chicago tribune through the paris office and they asked her to write an extended article about what was known in the night of the long line stated it happened two years earlier, this was 1936 in 1934 in the summer, they had massacred the leadership of the storm troopers and anyone that he saw as a potential political rival. now sigrid wrote about it at the time, 11 articles over the courses of weeks, but now they wanted more depth report on that event. the request came through paris. the paris office was not moving under the threat of the and they did not have an internal sense of how dangerous things were. a woman from the paris office called chicago, called sigrid in berlin with the information , totally clueless about the fact that the phones were tapped and we are probably being recorded. it was made worse by the head of the paris office who se

when there are suddenly real life problems caused by jean schultz. his policy is on everything from him, ration and security use to create an energy. so the green parties on leaders also billed out in september and the party is more focused on what kind of face lifts it can now get to seduce voters. once again, that aren't anything else. so the political playing field as a result of all this change has opened up for the anti establishment right wing a. m d party whose leader also made a point of paying her own tribute. you could say to schultz, his leadership when he staged a memorial service for it themselves with his own non confidence about well actually it's just a whole lot. schultz has been the worst chancellor. the federal republic has ever had. germany is in the deepest, most severe economic, financial energy and migrant crisis, or parliament faction has just discussed this. even though there wasn't much to discuss. we won't support shots in the confidence vote, except for 3 persons worried frederick merits might become a war chancellor. what

and, well, schultz wasn't going for it. when the start smartphone bringing forward, the bonus tag collections is my go through it. the citizens will then be able to determine the political course of our country. that's what it's all about. therefore, i am raising the question of confidence for the voters. do we have trust in ourselves in our country? germany is the largest supporter of ukraine in europe. i want it to stay that way, but we won't endanger our own security. and that is why we are not supplying long range cruise missiles. and we are certainly not sending german soldiers into this war. not with me is chancellor schultz apparently just wanted to keep sending more cache into the german military industrial complex, under the pretext of helping ukraine, but didn't seem to keen on actual war. then there's chancellor, want be frederick, merce of the pool leading christian democrats who seems to already be campaigning for the late february election. but that this vote is now triggered on the idea of being more of a cas

now schultz shrugged off nord stream, being blown up. and merck's doesn't think that he was enough of a team player. then you have the german anti establishment parties. try me in the left wing, pointing out that mr. piece here. shoals has a bit of a weapon, spending problem. and suggesting that murtz already came close to triggering a world war when he wasn't even the chancellor. yet, i think the top is de moxie and glorious end of a government that has noticeably and permanently west and people's lives. they present themselves as chancellors of peace, and yet they support the largest rearmament program in the history of the alliance . you have full and too often mister schultz, for us to trust that you would on taurus will still hold off to the election. mister matt says recently developed memory gaps and can suddenly no longer remember his tourist ultimatum. here in the book, this talk to chancellor candidates with memory loss. that's how well gemini is on the anti establishment right wing. the candidate for chancellor, for the a s d

it's walking away from schultz. this coalition table like a teenage clique in the school cafeteria to try to open. federal minister lynette has blocked lows in an improper manner. too often he is engaged in patching poverty, political tactics too often he has broken my trust with off show to along off sholtes has long sale to recognize the need for a new economic awakening in our country as long played down the economic concerns of our citizens. even now he is questioning the necessary decisions so that citizens can be proud of germany again. so this non confidence about crude officially dissolved salts as coalition government and make way for elections at the end of february, which shots only staying on and a care taker, roll into a new coalition is formed post the election and the new guy who could ultimately replace him as chancellor, that would be frederick murtz of the center. right. establishment christian democrats. if current poles hold basically says good rents. the heads of state and government of the euro

all i've schultz lost the confidence vote. he himself triggered in response to his coalition government collapsing at last month. he received 207 votes, mostly from his own party and came far short of the majority needed to hold office or to contribute or rates on mars, and takes us through his fall from power a different chance are all actual to ask the law makers and the buddhist started to give them a good swift kick in the better hosen or better yet to just drop kick is ours, right out of the beer garden. because while he no longer has the majority required to ram through his agenda anyway, and they happily obliged and no confidence vote of 394 in favor of his dejection and 207 against out. a quick reminder that all of this came about in the 1st place because schultz had a follow with his finance minister, christian lynn, or of the yellow light centers party in a so called traffic light coalition. so it's one to another $15000000000.00 euros to be pulled from tax peer funds to make weapons for your trade. because that's ar

i stumbled on sigrid schultz entirely by. one morning. an interesting story popped up in my newsfeed. an architectural salvage vendor had found 75 glass plate photographic negatives in the attic of an old house in what's now ravenswood wood. you know it was an interesting story. the pictures were interesting. most of them a woman, a small child, a really big dog, all of them in and around the house where you found slides. i kept reading it was just the kind of architecture historical puzzle i like. and it turned that the little girl's name was sigrid schultz the woman was her mother. and i always like to be and provide mothers names because all too often they get left out and the pictures were by secrets. father herman, who was a successful portrait painter who had come to the united states from norway in 1892, you know, it was a fun story to read over my morning tea. it was a good way to procrastinate my workday. and then i hit the punch line. sigrid grew up to be a groundbreaking for inquiries and possibly the first woman to head up a f

schultz stated that was a decision by me. i own that exclusively and that schultz acknowledged he missed an opportunity for transparency and wished he could have a, quote. mulligan. but schultz tells cnn in this interview, the committee took his comments out of context. he said he knew if he had presented the findings to congress, lawmakers would have seen it as a political opportunity. schultz telling cnn, quote, i knew they would see it as here's the scandal and that they would blow it up. and he feared the push for more information would eventually reveal the identities of the victims. he said the mulligan comment wasn't about the overall investigation, but that he was second guessing whether he should have picked up the phone and called the victims. schultz also said he did not believe he was under any legal obligation to share the findings with congress. so let's get a reaction from a member of the oversight committee, democratic congressman raja krishnamoorthi of illinois. he is on both the house oversight and intellige

schultz stated, that was a decision by me. i own that exclusively and that schultz acknowledged that he, quote, missed an opportunity for transparency and wished he could have a mulligan. schultz claiming he was misrepresented in that interview. so i asked a member of the house oversight and intelligence committees, democrat representative raja krishnamoorthi of illinois, for his reaction to schultz withholding. >> i think that his reason for withholding that that report, i would say concealing that report from congress, uh, is equally absurd. he said he was trying to protect the victims of the persistent harassment and the rapes in the coast guard academy. i think he was trying to protect the perpetrators. that's what he was trying to do. he was trying to basically prevent them from facing accountability. and i think he himself needs to be held accountable. >> schultz told cnn that his interview was taken out of context, and that he feared sharing the report would eventually reveal victims identities. >> our thanks to pamela

terry schultz, who's following the summit in brussels. terry, this fear of a war between russia and nato seems to be the main obstacle for ukraine's nato membership. what's the sense there? should you crank temp down its hopes of joining the alliance while it's at war? yes, that's certainly the reason someone call it an excuse that olaf schultz and to be fair. many other leaders also use for not even being willing to extend ukraine, an invitation to join nato, much less full nato membership. and at the same time that schultz and other say this, there is another camp here of you and tomato allies who say that that's the very reason why ukraine should be extended. an invitation that that would force russia to reconsider what it's doing, maybe force russia to back down, instead of it always being nato, that refrains from taking further action. and it will be interesting to see how that conversation continues. now that kind of call us the former as stony and prime minister in a very strong pro ukrainian figure is now the use top diplomat as s

well, i saw it's a stale lof schultz has been the worst chancellor. the federal republic has ever had. germany is in the deepest, most severe economic, financial energy and migrant crisis. our parliament faction has just discussed this, even though there wasn't much to discuss. we won't support sholtes in the confidence vote, except for 3 persons worried free drift merits might become a war chancellor, showing that it was a big view of cars from inside. they have the money to go to mode for shots to keep them out out because no citizen was situation or do a lot against the tribes and to take the risk to get the amounts as it makes the more trans up that wasn't making a discussion. but i think because they have done the all right, some of our function has the most it for us was i know most of them wanted to against was because the government in fact the us government, they made to the top of them is the energy they made the energy crisis is a guy, so they made the energy crisis with the electric power. they close a new cal plans if we had in germany, t

things where they came to and had over budget over that reforms between schultz the then finance minister cutty and then the and this led to show actually firing into the really big drama in german politics that but since then although schultz is actually being the governing of minority government and show us doesn't really want to limp along with the minority government until september, next year when federal elections were planned and try and get the legislation across the line against various of position right now. he wants fresh elections. he wants to press refresh on his, on his campaign on his message and go out and convince very to is about really who he is and what his messages does. why do we expect to the elections are going to take, take place? probably on the 23rd of february, one of the going to be the issues that dominate the campaigns. well, the economy is the main issue. i mean, germany was one moment powerhouse of europe and this restructuring, along on the brink of recession. this is really on the concerning rights across the country, inflation job losses of hits and lot

the 2nd was o la schultz, and you'll standing here in saying business as usual. the issues in the election also include the country support for you create in this war against russia. opinion full of so increasing concern among voters about the risk of why the conflict with far act on file if parties both a post father helping ukraine. another big issue is regression. germany as picking a most eating refugees than any other european country doing serious even more a photo. it has now hosted a sign up applications from cdns, following the collapse of the bush on a side street gym. defraud i a d design. i think it wants to stop all my guns from entering germany and those already there to return on on the fund. lift the side of big connect, elijah, and see the country can't cope with any more arrivals or the elections. in february, we focused on how germany would be around going forward. the choice of people will have impact will be on its board is, comes in and it is 0 for insight study. so now let's get the inside story from, i guess today in berlin, we have over a

risk and at all i because out of them in germany faces an early election, the collapse of johnson schultz is coalition government, your biggest economy is in trouble with the political divisions. so what, how the issues and why is the outcome so important to international? this is inside store the hello again, non james phase. it was no surprise when german johnson, the old off. schultz lost the confidence motion in parliament, but he'd cooled himself. he's on easy coalition government authority full on the part a little over 3 is off to taking office. that was also just before russia's invasion of ukraine, a war that hit germany hod, ending the supply of cheap russian gas that fueled europe's economic and industrial powerhouse. the far right on the far left, both opposed supporting ukraine just as the united against more immigration choppy waters on trade to with china. for example, while donald trump's presidency approaches on the horizon with threats of terrace. so what all the big issues in the election and why is the outcome significant? far beyond germany's board as well to, to our

we start with breaking news from here in germany were transferred off schultz as low as the a vote of confidence in parliament shelves. one of the support of only 207 little makers, far short of the majority needed to win. he being expected to lose the vote after his 3 party coalition collapsed in early november when he fired his finance minister in a dispute over how to revitalize germany's stagnant economy. it pays the way for it snap elections in february. this is the moment when the result was the next. to unplug the split, the chancellor's motion did not achieve the required majority of at least $367.00 votes in favor. these rather than bonus, i will inform the president of the results of the boat without delay time is that time as us to the end of our agenda. ok. and to the end of the coalition of the unfair, what the deputies, chief, political out of her metallic listener was at the german parliament. and tell me more about what happens next. yes. what we heard from the present the problem. and she's going to inform the presidents, germany's federal presence, who has the last t

but with future us, a to ukraine on certain after donald trump's re election, schultz made his position clear. german, chancellor laughed. shouts stepped off the training keys carrying a suitcase. perhaps a symbolic gesture that he wasn't coming empty handed of the page tribute to kind, soul and soldiers fit the memorial and independence square. and then he met his ukrainian soldiers currently undergoing treatment in hospital. but this trip was about to me off and some pay model support balance is ukraine's biggest european baccha. and the chancellor is keen to let keith and to must go know that he intends to keep it. that way. he announced that germany would supply keith with arms deliveries with some 650000000 new guys. by the end of the year. the new package includes defense systems, left for tanks and driving the crucially no taurus, marseilles, not something presidents. the landscape is still pushing for the city or up or down. yeah. down it'll show all the taurus issue. of course, you know, old off and i have a lot of common views on some issues and we have different views on some

is there any sign that schultz might be ready now to change his mind on that? yeah, that's a very important question, especially here in ukraine. that's where the letter ukrainians half and asking. that's also something that came up during the press conference yesterday with the german chancellor schultz and presidents and lansky. a you training colleague asked, is there any news on the taurus cruise missile? and the response of the ukrainian president was in an awkward laugh, shrugging and pointing to his german counterpart to then stoically repeated the statements or so if he repeated his talking points that he has been given all along . that's this is a weapon that germany is not willing to provide to ukraine because of the range that has because of the impact that could potentially make. and because of the escal atory potential, as a child support, it puts it so for now, it seems that this is still a hard know from the germ max mikayla. thank you both very much. that was the w's chief, political editing, the kid across the there. and our correspond it much

this are the german chancellor schultz has lost a vote of confidence in parliament. the results of the country on course for snap elections in february, the vote follows the collapse of his coalition government shots as now ask the jeremy president and about their style to dissolve part. and that's all for now, but i'll be back in just a few minutes with the day. so tuning for that on probably nice for me on the team in brandon, thanks for watching. take care of the the this city is hungry for the future. in south west china. 32000000 people live here. many of them are young, but my parents wanted me to become a civil servant, but i didn't like the idea of getting such an old fashioned job and being stuff making money. having fun with knoxville been shown to me in 45 minutes on the w. the surrounded oak trees. they used by day by night and over the full season. natures, great adaptive and living sea to europe of 3 gold. jenny reset on dw conflict crises around every single connection mapped out shows that you securely, honestly, the, on the board is what makes things

let's schultz or check direct. all right, well for more, joining me here in the studio is due to his chief political editor, the current time. it's great to have you. you've spent the day after, during problem with the bonus tag. so busy, busy, hectic day for you. we have the result that we've been expecting for weeks. so what happens now? well, the interesting thing is it sounds like it was a defeat for us. so, but this was actually exactly what he wanted. he wanted to be voted against. he wanted the declaration of no confidence into him, so he can go to the president as we just saw in those pictures and, and request for snap the snap elections. but the president will now also talk to different parliamentary groups because his role in this normally is lottie ceremonial role. but when it comes to issues of the constitution of keeping the country stable, of whether the offer selections, he's kind of the gatekeeper for that. and he will hold tools with the different parliamentary groups to see whether that wouldn't b

what schultz has done for ukraine is impressive. schultz had helped to ensure that germany was 2nd only to the united states in terms of military support for ukraine. this is an achievement for which key of can be grateful. let's discuss the spot with forming ukrainian diploma in washington. andrea taylor shank of mr. taylor. thank you, you're most welcome to the program. i've been here zalinski the allies rarely draw off even the slightest criticism of the at you pretty into fact to leader. why do you think mr. ruth say, is defending chestler shows so openly not. i think it's a big game or it's not happening in your assignments with the change of government in germany, but having sholtes how come to re elections and right now the face of the new drunk counselors going to be chosen in a couple weeks. and the survey show to rep schultz off or maybe leave the power they still are starting figure out what is the next step where have the crystal dual credit party come in in germany. and so you've got to. ready be more addressed as part of this. so this is a game of good and bad cough which

you have fallen to off and mister schultz for us to trust that your word on taurus will still hold after the election. mr. merits has recently developed a memory gaps and can suddenly no longer remember his torres ultimatum. here in the bonus tag to chancellor candidates with memory loss. that's how well germany is armed. that'll let parties co chair also try and in saying that the german chancellor bears full responsibility for a violent arms race with russia. and as for the right wing, the a if these party leadership is saying that the german people are gonna have a lot of cleaning up to do after shots leaves office, especially because the country has become a potential nuclear target. as a result of all the age that berlin has been giving the key appreciate, what are you doing? instead of sticking ties with washington and moscow, where the keys to peace lie, the chancellor and friedrich merits go to kia, have to waste even more money than before, for administer bare bulk santa sizes about deploying german troops to ukraine and risking escalation. well, mister merricks wants to risk wo

it was no surprise when german johnson, the old off, schultz lost the confidence. motion impala meant that he'd cooled himself. he's on easy coalition. government did already full on the part a little over 3 is off to taking office. that was also just before rushes invasion of ukraine, a war that hit germany hod, ending the supply of cheap russian gas that fueled europe's economic and industrial powerhouse. the far right on the far left, both opposed, supporting ukraine just as that united against more immigration choppy waters on trade to with china. for example, while donald trump's presidency approaches on the horizon with threats of terrace. so what all the big issues in the election and why is the outcomes significant? far beyond germany's borders, we'll talk to a public guess in the moment. but 1st, this report from how does a mohammed vote of confidence called by chance it up on i've shoals know what the government would lose following the collapse with these 3 particularly shown government in november shows calculated the ticket open at the elections would be his best hopes of

oh, ive schultz is dealing with the chinese. they said, yeah, well, i mean, it's not bad. you know, you gotta get this out of nuclear weapons, but, but then you say, oh, by the way, please meet my delegation of c e o 's of large german companies who i happen to have brought along with me. so you're going that with a kind of a tough message about the war and don't support pizza and, and all of that. but actually kind of behind you, you've got this backdrop of money to probably do some deals. so, and as the us perspectives this completely on the mind, any sort of implicit leverage that you might have towards the chinese to say guys, stop supporting putin. if what you've got is you're kind of money people behind you kind of thinking, all right, let's try and, you know, do some better business on this is the tension that is um and shots a is on the knowing that the key caught industry has made its buffets over the past couple of years in china, and mostly so that's kept that industry pretty much going here in germany and actually in europe. so to say, so the, but i'm really no

now jim and john la schultz has last of those have confidence. we're pull to lee guessing are these 275 that's fossil 5367 . he needed to hold on to power the under pressure german. lita had pulled the boat himself in response to the coalition government collapsing and knows i'm just get more details on this as close to 2 on the correspondent old quotes. i don't get to see so as we know, so there's lots to both have confidence to break down the details for us. would you please will spell a whole 150 volts, short of winning this vote of no confidence marking the other collapse of his so called traffic light coalition, between the social democrats and the free democratic party. so what we're looking at right now essentially is the dissolution of parliament and upcoming new general elections already scheduled for february 23rd. the bundle stock was engaged in quite the debates just before what are the issues merits. it's such a spirited discussion. well, all of schultz during those debates came under attack by 2 left, his parties which accused him o
