allen study what this is to say then about germany germany votes as german society that given germany's history it now has has put into the german parliament a right wing party. well it needs to be remembered that according to current. polling numbers the f.t. has the support of about fifteen percent of the german population which is to say that eighty five percent of the population doesn't support it and i think we need to keep in mind that you know mainstream german society and we see this in the education in the education system we see this in the media we see this in the public sphere in germany you know throughout. german society has widely accepted its responsibility for the crimes committed in the names of the germans in the past and i'll also point out that one of the reasons why germany today is a widely in the world widely admired democracy one of the most widely. admired countries in the world is precisely because it has made the decision to confront this dark aspect of its past head on until accept the responsibility the f.d.a. is really in in some respects an outlier i mean

i am from germany. this is not always been the case. 2015, wears before took far too long to realize that the issue of refugees was an issue for the whole of europe and not of germany. we have to realize this is a common european task. to realize that using solidarity for everybody means we have to deal with our own interests, with others. we have to respect others. this is not something that contradicts looking -- looking after our own interests. we need to work to combat migration problems. this is an issue that was just brought up. we need to make sure we have living conditions improved. looking at climate change, there are economic and social consequences. it is crucial we tackle this. it is better for all europeans if everybody participates against climate change. it will be helpful for -- if wel for all europeans look at the issues affected by emigration. we should do our utmost to find a common approach and work together as a community. solidarity is a universal basic value. this is also in our o

and he made that point not only on the national front in germany but he also made the point that germany needs to establish that leadership also internationally when we see these these rises of. you know a certain brand of patriotism and pop populism amongst some of germany's most closest partners he said that's true you know he was talking about the internationalism of the arrow and the fact that germany suddenly realized it had to be part of the west and a western context and have its allies and friends and it was a positive period when there was a new cultural phenomenon the germans were winning the nobel prizes and we think of albert einstein and so on and you know success and he said this era that we have now is a new era of that we have to stand up for a pluralistic germany even when the international order is under to under attack from our own poland as i think he was particularly thinking there of the president of the united states and also perhaps of the united kingdom with its plan to leave the european union i want to talk a little bit more about the show up because of course

how did germany react to the armistice and the peace talks. the germans were ordered to evacuate the territory they had occupied in belgium and france including the regions of a sas vein german troops pulled back behind the rhine river. the right wing french political movement actual final says organized a big rally on the plaster in paris. so just scattered soil brought to celebrate the return of the region to france. in eighteen seventy one after the end of the franco-prussian war france had been forced to see that it's us and part of love again to germany. in a sus troops that had been defeated nearly five decades before now demonstrated their loyalty to france. i. mean if. i. was. schoolchildren kissed the french flag. but not everyone in the region shared that enthusiasm catholics a nice us felt more secure in the german empire than they had under the second french empire considered by many to be hostile to the church in addition say sions had come to appreciate the efficiency and order that characterized german rule. trench president shi

i wonder whether germany, the federal republic of germany will agree to that. we need to reduce the fleet missions, but unfortunately, the ambitious goals have been buried because of the germans and the climate isn't going to be saved by vague pictures of statements. they need to stop hitting the brakes on climate policy. this is a real catastrophe for europe, tr our island states and the whole planet. and germany is not the only country in the eu that is having a problem face iing the reality the climate, but it is the biggest one and it has the farthest reaching consequences. the fact that germany keeps violating environmental legislation just underscores that problem. protecting the climate with new energy will also help towards the goal of energy independent. a gas pipeline from russia to germany will make us dependent on fossil fuels and will also damage prospect in the ukraine and will benefit putin. >> translator: one further example, we know now that the eurozone isn't a staple as it should be. we have known that for eight years. we have half a banking

wrote a book about women called muslim girls ten years ago about a multifaceted reality for women in germany who have different ethnic and cultural backgrounds and of course there are many women unfortunately often muslim women who really are oppressed. but there are many who have managed to go their own way and have fought their way out of difficult circumstances so it's hard to say that muslim women per se are oppressed. and i'd stay in mind i'd swim one controversial subjects or symbol perhaps is the headscarf some people in mainstream society think that women who wear a headscarf are more radical in religious terms than those who don't. really is this true. on all of them just as a piece of well many from the fur. first and second generation wore them more for traditional reasons and there was an association that they were peasants or had lower qualifications or might even be illiterate. so there was this idea that if a woman wasn't very educated she would wear a headscarf. but now there are women here who wear head scarves although they went to school here went to university graduates.
