discussed in germany for years now that germany is in fact too dependent on russian gas supplies that has always been the case even during the coldest times of the cold war we imported lots of gas from the former soviet union and it was a we have a good record of keeping gas and oil through it all with of political turmoil and i believe that russia is much more the pendent on exporting gas to divest than the other way around and so this can be a good. point all for cooperation because russia is there and cannot be removed from the map and it's better to engage in also in trade with russia than just to see it as a an enemy knows met foreign policy spokesman for the social democrats a junior coalition partner in the german government thanks very much for your comments this morning thank you now for some of the other stories making the news at this hour the democratic republic of congo's health ministry has confirmed eleven new cases of ebola along with two new suspected deaths brings the total number of reported cases to forty five concerns are high after the virus spread to one of the

to migrants who want to make germany their new homeland i say. they are very welcome if they are recognized as refugees or asylum seekers as long as they become integrated in german society if you don't you can face off into could you there are two sides to integration. on the one hand german society has a great deal to offer even bought it has justified expectations of the people it extends that they take up these opportunities and acknowledge that they are in a country whose western values didn't simply appear out of nowhere these values have been defined of a centuries of humanism and christianity. everyone who is prepared to accept this is most welcome in our country at the record and from them through migration and displacement are on the rise for germany this means. that we are still facing a migration crisis which can only be mastered together with our european neighbors . in alliance with many other western countries and with the countries of origin and transit in them you have my franklin and. thank you. fax. your own max highlight show.

that jews in germany have that but the large muslim community does not. there are nearly five million muslims in germany but they don't have access to that social discourse and no one listens to them. some in the jewish community claim that you are relative vising the facts of the situation that there have been more attacks recently in germany against jews what do you say to your critics. the point is whether there are legitimate grounds for these fears. i think that these beers have been banned both by jews and well meaning german filo semites. as well as german politicians who are looking for a political advantage. speaking of politicians the german conservative party saying that muslim high school students should be required to take courses that outline the values found in our constitution what do you say to that. i think that everyone should take those courses why limit it to muslim students how about young people or not so young people who set refugee centers on fire shouldn't they be required to take courses in german constitutional values. that's c

alternative for germany or f.d.a. gathered for a demonstration they've called a future for germany they showed up in the thousands but counter demonstrators were out in even greater numbers. go away go away they chanted demonstrators marching against the a.f.d. an alliance of political parties labor unions and other groups organized the counter demonstration together they move allies to an estimated twenty five thousand people to take a stand against the right wing populist says it's a good thing that the f.t.c. which pretends it represents the majority sees it doesn't we they came to our demonstrators are the majority. and they represented a broad cross-section of german society. this. law does well i think people should be taller and. they should accept people the way they are. but it's not don't think it's right to spread hatred which is what the f.t. does. for me this gets against it and i think it's great that there are so many young people i was afraid they might not be as politically active as before this is gr

chief political editor who joins me now welcome what does germany want from china well first of all germany wants reassurance that free trade is really what china is in for we've heard those pledges from siege and ping also various public conferences where you stated that china would become the new temptin of free trade in the world of course with the backdrop of the u.s. withdrawing being much more interested bilateral deals but the actual business that's being done does speak a rather different language when companies complain of tight restrictions of having to find co-investors if they want to launch a company in china and at the same time they are consensus here in germany that china is on a spending spree to buy up not up know how here in europe in germany and that's something of an imbalance that the german chancellor is always pressed to raise when she visits beijing ok so none of us is new so that just sort of forms that the backdrop of of the of the trip yes i mean there's a issues that have been raised time and time again the has been a certain amount of progress we've actually se

things have improved substantially from germany's perspective i believe german turkish relations are currently searching for ways to approach one another but encircled nothing has really changed circumstances for turkish journalists remain difficult many journalists are still in prison and i have observed a number of absurd trials after. those reports without borders we continue to provide a lot of emergency aid as part of our support work dennis details release was in short actually just a symbolic gesture by turkey to germany today i. thought that means if turkish journalists make critical comments about i don't want they already have set one foot in jail for things yeah o.b.'s the problem is that the exact definition of what is seen as criticism of the one can change daily but that's the risk all journalists in turkey are exposed to and every turkish editorial bureau has desks that belong to colleagues who are now in jail. it's vital because of the current situation there and critical reporting is being suppressed do you want to start a turkish t.v. channel is that a good idea if

reason germany won't win the world cup. lovely you might not like to admit it but germany are the favorites to win the world cup this summer and for good reason they're already the reigning world champions and as we discussed in the previous episode they've got the squad the manager and the winning mentality to go all the way again this summer. but then again this is a world cup and they'll be a host of nations who consider themselves just as talented and just as well prepared as the mantra so let's take a look at the competition three teams which i think pose the biggest threats to germany in russia this summer first up you guessed it brazil brazil have trained a lot since the famous one thrashing in belo horizonte but the desire for revenge still burns as hot as ever brazil were ponderous in a time four years ago thanks to the presence of the burley blunt but the emergence of the twenty one year old gabrielle means they now have a potentially world class talent leading the line benefiting from the coaching genius of pep s

sandra looked for a surrogate in germany. with my new negotiate the price how much are we talking about as a. surrogate mothers all spend twenty five thousand euros vance's tolls and all who is going to is that the maximum mechanical or higher risk of a vital much higher. there's no limit. when it comes to cost there is no limit one woman was asking for thirty five thousand for that price i could do as a broad and legal terms that would be safer. surrogacy is legal in a number of countries there are clinics in the united states that provide the service for about one hundred thousand euros it's a lot cheaper in ukraine laos and kenya. commercial surrogacy used to be big business in india until it was banned in twenty fifteen for foreigners and then in twenty seventeen for indians as well. now surrogacy is only allowed among relatives and if no money changes hands rinku tells my colleague how much she earned as a surrogate mother four thousand euros that is as much as a husband and as a rickshaw driver in three years. with the

and germany and france need to take charge they need to lead europe. and there's never been a union within a larger region without head to monica partners and germany and france need to assume hegemonic status and step up as the leading powers in europe. until france has understood the opportunity it has together with germany europe won't make any progress. openly for. the opposite of this is happening it feels as though europe is winding down britain is exiting eastern european countries are saying sure what take the money but we don't want any responsibilities italians are saying there should be a parallel currency that allows them to get out. can the e.u. as we know it be salvaged so. no one understands what italy is on about let's wait and see. eastern europe is saying it wants to be heard. in this respect the us is playing an unfortunate role because it went out of its way to convince these countries to be terrified of russia and it played a not inconsiderable role in the ukraine problem. we need to talk very clearly about u.s. interests and europ

with the united kingdom's germany and france. we have to reaffirm that we are attached to the agreement from two thousand and fifteen because the iranian regime cannot take its activities up again. while you have heard that they are stalling that's what they said in their declaration of yesterday there is no escalation and the european decision allows us to stop the activities for now and to limit escalation and this is why we have to work together with our partners in order to limit and that's going to action of tension in the region and this is what we have been trying for months now and this is also why we have to broaden already the topics in order to bring all the parties back to a larger security and stability framework for the region because you are saying that the europeans are going to try to remain in in the agreement and adopt it but what does it really mean without the united states what is it rusts without them is . a proposal that sufficient for iran. but this is going to be a topic in the coming weeks and months an
