and also the green party as well as social democrats leader and one of the co-leaders saying today that they sent a fatal signal to families so there has been huge criticism on that front and all we heard from anglo-american yesterday. was that it is going to take a while and of course there are also concerns as well especially for those children from from vulnerable homes who are in more difficult situations and what staying at home for longer might mean for them germany states now have a lot of freedom in terms of how far and how fast they go and relaxing restrictions or reducing them in fact what's the emergency brake and who's going to pull them so basically this is a threshold that's being set and each individual state will be responsible for this so if that all 50 or more than 50 new cases per 100000 inhabitants in a district in the last 7 days then the state each individual state will be responsible for every implementing restriction so we could indeed see pockets of many lock downs in restrictions being reimplemented here in germany in germany similar to the ones that we've seen

i don't think so there are several surveys in fact only able to confirm is a well known no social democraticor foundation it's very nice no problem with it you're saying it slanted out into other surveys you're saying it's like that i just said the fact i understood understand the fact that it's a social democratic foundation in its value system and perhaps that has an influence sometimes on how they interpret findings but i'm not questioning their finding i'm just saying that there are several surveys but the most important survey of course is always in a democracy elections parties go for elections defeat us government has been reelected 3 times with an overwhelming majority and that tells you something i think about the real record of the government and the real situation hungry that is worth looking at i think i want to come on to the topic of elections and how you manage them and how you've changed various laws relating to the election since since you came to power but let's just look at the press you maintain that hungary has a diverse press and free speech and criticism of the governm

the governing coalition partner the social democrats have announced resistance to that replacement it's once a more passive role in nato and that this goes on so i don't think there's anything wrong with having that debate i think it's an important question of democracy. military experts see this latest in a coalition rao as a defense as an attack on german credibility from within i think that position is increasingly untenable and and frankly the rest of the world does not do us that favor while germany currently looks set to expand its military engagement in crisis regions like mali even within its own government any issue to do with defense remains a political minefield. for all the governments of started loosening pandemic water allan's the film and t.v. industries they aren't having much luck here in germany most filming has been put on hold rolling actors writers directors and technicians out of work some however are managing to soldier all. in the german t.v. series red roses life goes on as if the coronavirus pandemic had never existed but only when the cameras rolling. everythi

when on the one hand we have the governing coalition the social democrats and the conservatives who shows a united front at the moment but indeed if you look at other politico factions and a 1st opposition party that of the far right for example they've been up in arms against the restoration measures shops being closed the individual rights being limited because of social distancing for example they stated that this was a breach of constitutional rights and also the labor as of the if not the biggest promoters of the measures implemented it was a vice president of the bundestag the german parliament even talking about breast fictions against fundamental rights so with each region leaders being handed over to this stage and making for the measures of rest to action we bound to see that there will be differences in how the crisis is handled in each of the lender the german regions so the reports we just saw mention the growing number of protests against lockdown measures how representative of a of public opinion. well there's certainly a concern within the german society that fundamental r

pro-business people didn't want to the government to be involved in rescuing an airline it all social democrats wanted were quite happy with that to allow the government to have a say on environmental concerns on jobs so it took a while for this deal to come together meanwhile lufthansa's been hemorrhaging money by its own calculation $1000000.00 euros per hour and so it desperately needs the money and part of this deal is a credit of $3000000000.00 euros to tide it over so it's going to be an interesting time ahead it's it will require approval before before this this goes ahead but it's looking quite likely that that approval will come soon or interesting times indeed we are expecting to see a slump and international trouble that is ongoing what with with this rescue package help with hans i weathered that storm yes because. at least for the next few months let's say because look times i had big ambitions but it also had big problems last year it was beset by strikes from cash from the cabin crew from the pilots and these were unusual instances for 4 full of transit which previously had prett

now he's a prominent health expert with chancellor merkel's coalition partners at the social democrats he said that it was disappointing and wrong then we had the bavarian state premier because he defended the move and then you know overall what's being said though is it's a compromise of sorts and an interesting it's not just in politics it's even within some of the players who are going to be back out on the pitch in a matter of days and the most prominent of course is the midfielder at burger for states and he actually came out on belgian television last week saying that you know that he had his concerns he ended up backtracking on them but i think the best is if we actually hear now from dagmar freitag now she's from german the german parliament sports committee and she kind of summed up the overall feeling we'll say for this decision. i think um it's a kind of compromise we have to see sports on the one hand and we have to see the economy economic aspects of the collapse on the other hand and as we all talk about. changes pull. grass roots sports i think the compromise could be ok

and nail so i think we need to say that our immediate demands are demands that we would call social democratic demands that demands to expand the welfare state your people a little bit more security a little bit more dignity a little bit more respect in their day to day lives and society but in order to accomplish even these moderate goals we'll need to think about industrial militancy and how we can all typically a road the power of capital over our lives and i think right now the really important thing to remember is that the ideas of the political left or does that have historically been associated with political left for more justice and more security for deleterious measures like in the u.s. medicare for all and jobs guarantee and all these other programs now have the joy. early support i'll get to elections in a 2nd you know we have a think tank it called the i e a and jump on this program talking about his film the dirty war in the n.h.s. showed up privatization all of the national health service was one of the things he's a little bit about it reviewed your book and said it's desperate

people who didn't see a role for the government in running an airline and then there were the social democrats who thought it was a good opportunity to have a say in environmental conditions and saving jobs and so we're seeing for example is 25 percent we talked about that structured in a way that the government will get 20 percent at the beginning and it has a special bond and should it ever choose to do so it can turn up on the do another 5 percent plus one share and that magic number would allow it to block any takeover of lufthansa apparently not something the government is concerned about because the the share price of offense has dropped by nearly 2 thirds over last year and so yeah they they've used the fans as a strategic asset for germany and do not want to see it look falling into other hands foreign hands especially is 9000000000 euros enough to keep this strategic asset afloat no one knows when when the head to the term industry is going to end well it's it seems to be like a wait and see approach is what they're taking. they do look like they're planning to run left. as a business

enough to be able to conquer the elite powers that will be trying to constrain even a slightly social democratic model i don't know health care for instance let alone these wider ideas about n.z. imperialism really the only good news is that sociologists are very bad at being able to predict mass movements they are wrapped in ways that we really can't predict so you know that certainly is a possibility and there is levels of despair and anger in this country that should provoke widespread social movements whether those will happen in the next few years i'm not sure but that's really the one way in which the shape of decline can be shifted away from. most people just being more and more miserable and elites getting richer and richer toward one where the decline continues the u.s. is no longer a dominant global power but ordinary americans lead much happier and more decent lives ok so we shouldn't be really reading the book as a as a manual then but you do appear to be saying that whereas big movements of the working class in the united states have been left to the wayside have declined china and
