up pretty early on i began to ask myself why the liberal party why the f.t. . when you trace it back of course it because of what the liberals wrested from the states bit by bit in the nineteenth century. freedom of opinion freedom of the press. taking that sentiment and transferring it to today's world the question arises how much video surveillance how much telecommunications surveillance is acceptable in an age when we spend so much time online. that is an important point to make when it comes to informational self-determination because if you feel like you're being watched twenty four seven you will change your behavior without even noticing it and that's not what self-determination is supposed to mean that's why yes in the west case informational self-determination must also be asserted in the face of state opposition take major corporations think of tax evasion or social networks they've created a public space that has practically replaced real public life then autonomy must also be defended against the private sector that's great but it's difficult to do

party and what he saw in two thousand and thirteen was how his liberal party was thrown out of parliament because they had failed in government together with until america is dead and buried yet been buried in evil as the one who men is all on by himself as a one man show the research action of the liberals and of course he whole party is traumatised they hardly any of them really wants to rule again but i'm going to america because then they fear that they would again be thrown out of parliament do you believe that it is being in a coalition with i'm going to have time and time again so they are very afraid of lot but i'd like to say something about the strategy that. somehow sketched for the liberals i think it will not work if we have no new elections i think that it is true that the liberals could get some of the votes from the right but on the other hand many of their traditional voters who voted for them now again will leave for the christian democrats because for them it's no longer attractive to vote for the liberals now that the liberals have shown that they are no longer. ready

liberals they are a very small party and indeed they are not fit to rule because they didn't have enough people who fit for government they didn't have a program that would have lurked and to they didn't have enough technical knowledge in order to be part of the government so what we don't have a general crisis what we have is a liberal party that's not fit to rule ok if you know the opportunity very shortly to talk the liberals down there's going to talk them up from the other side first of all your assessment where are we today well i want to come back toward you said about we sitting here saying on as what crisis there is of course a crisis of the chattering class i think this is the third time we've been wrong you were wrong about bricks that everyone must take never going to happen around about trump never going to happen and i personally was wrong about it because i'm on record saying of course jamaica is going to happen it's just a question of finding the right compromise formula and and the question is really why did the liberals pull out and it's not one second for you go into w

pretty early on i began to ask myself why the liberal party why the f.d.p. . and when you trace it back of course it because of what the liberals wrested from the states bit by bit in the nineteenth century. freedom of opinion freedom of the press. taking that sentiment and transferring it to today's world the question arises how much video surveillance how much telecommunications surveillance is acceptable in an age when we spend so much time online. that is an important point to make when it comes to informational self-determination because if you feel like you're being watched twenty four seven you will change your behavior without even noticing it and that's not what self-determination is supposed to mean so that's why yes in the west case informational self-determination must also be asserted in the face of state opposition take major corporations think of tax evasion or social networks they've created a public space that is practically replaced real public life then autonomy must also be defended against the private sector that's great but it's difficult

party that's not fit to rule ok if you know the opportunity very shortly to talk the liberal today. there's going to talk of the market from the other side first of all your assessment where are we today well i want to come back to you said about we sitting here saying on this crisis there is of course a crisis of the chattering class i think this is the third time we've been wrong you were wrong about brakes that everyone must have never going to happen around about trump never going to happen and i personally was wrong about it because i'm on record saying of course jamaica is going to happen it's just a question of finding the right compromise formula and and the question is really why did the liberals pull out and it's not one second yet for you go into why the liberals pulled out just explain for our viewers the use of the word because we have to explain it time to jamaica what's it all about ok well. let's really look at jamaica means a coalition of the christian democrats right wing conservatives the as you put it business friendly free democrats i'm not sure they're really b

it's very hard to say and i think that you know in terms of diet party certainly the liberal party is a very strong conservative group in the you know i think this is quite supportive of this policy. you know it's a the self is very much in relation to when the next federal election so darby trying to you know minimize any real actual costs and this could be intellectual cost for them so apart from the grain syria you know systematically support of the rights of asylum seekers we're not seeing any real movement that leads anyone to i think believe that the changes in the air and and the harshness is in some ways part of the message to other potential asylum seekers that this is a sort of trade and you'll get if you try to come to australia ok that we will have to leave all discussion for the very interesting indeed and of course we'll be following this story closely over the coming days as the p.m.g. or thirty's move into that camp on this island many thanks to our guests for joining us today kate snow at sea in brisbane and in coke in that path and especially thank you to abdul aziz

from the liberal party as well. he doesn't want to lose support at any cost. he has consiststently said he wowon't form a coalitition at ay cost and he yesterday reiterated that he felt his party was just beingbsorbed into angela merkel's ideas. he said in german television he felt that like what merkel was asking for was a continuation of the status quo with just a few green chives sprinkled on top. charlie rose has become the latest public figure to have his career cut short by a series of sexual assault allegations. three major television networks have suspended him after eight women told the washington post that he had sexually assaulted or harass them. the 75-year-old said he was deeply embarrassed by his behavior but questioned the accuracy of some of the allegations. charlie rose is one of the most recognizable faces on u.s. television. known for his engaging interview style, the award-winning journalist has grilled world leaders from barack obama to bashar al-assad but his career heks dead in the water as becomes the latest powerful media personality t

i ithe spotlilight for not good reasons, the leader of the liberal party, who many people are pointing the finger of blame at for pulling the plug on last night fell talks. really the only winners would be the far right party. they were in a state of glee when they gave an address today. they set -- they said that they felt vindicated and proven rigit then angela merkel i is not the right person to continue to lead the country. they say that this proves she has failed and she must go. genie: jessica, thank you for that, reporting for us from berlin. toeadline for robert mugabe resign anime today came and wentnt. that means his party must move forward with its promise to impeach him. doug, one thing seems clear with robert mugabe. he certainly seems to be trying to play for time. doug: the war veterans council was quoted as saying the speech has nothing to do with reality. it does have something to do be's reality, but it is mega -- mugabe's reality. he has been an unchallenged and he isor 30 years playing a trump card right now because he knows one thing. his major trump card is the mi

party the green party and the two sister partners from the conservative camp and they managed to ruin the negotiations at an early stage on rather minor problems which are far from the challenges that germany and europe faces and they stop the election stop the negotiations over things that matter for the party yes but not so much for germany as a whole the election results in september what wasn't you know they weren't very good for for merkel and i know that the president had said that he wouldn't call this not be election for now but if he were to in the future can she afford actually through to go through another vote and would her party in fact want her to lead them into a new election. well this is for the first time since two thousand and five when she wasn't like that chancellor for the first time a situation where the hero of america could come to an end she announced when the liberal party left the coalition talks last night that she would be the one to guide the party through the complicated face that that is in front of us but as things turn very complicated at the moment

it was also similar position coming from the liberal party. so i don't know about red lines, but i think this is a clear german position which our partners in the eurozone will have to accept. let's talk about other issues. i want to get onto brexit in a moment, but before we get to brexit, do you think we are not sufficiently aware of the degree to which there is a new set of fragmentations inside the european union, which are dividing the old western european members from the newer members in the east of the union? i am thinking of the so—called visagrad countries — poland, hungary, the czech republic, you could add a few more. they are very unhappy with much of what they hear coming from the centralised institutions in brussels. i think they are beginning to feel that they are being frozen out of the decision—making process. well, a european union with 28 member states, or in future with 27 member states without the united kingdom, is a complicated organisation. undoubtedly. but if you look at the history of the eu, six member states,

i turned it in from the uk there are different factions the more conservative and more liberal if you want to say like that factions of the city you and there's no clear person that can unify and also run the party like that and then there's no guarantee that the city you would get similar numbers in the polls because mecca has been one of the big factors that made the city you're successful over the last years and she has remained fairly popular also over her twelve years in office if we look ahead to the possibility of new elections there is the question of the concern among. conservatives that this could then strengthen the extremes and in particular the far right the alternative for germany. how real is that possibility that they could profit from new elections . it's a very real possibility i think so far there's no one that was really able to make a proper prediction because a lot of will depend on the different campaigns and how they were basically run their campaigns but it's very possible that such an election after you know just a few months after the last election will depr

pro business liberal party here in germany he walked out of those talks he did also give a statement on monday saying that as he does not it wasn't a decision he made lightly but as we can hear from him just after he walked out of those talks certain didn't seem like he was coming to an agreement with anybody in that room any time soon. we will not abandon our voters for a policy with which we are not convinced it is better not to govern than to govern badly well the green party for their side who are also part of this negotiation that was going on they said that at the time the free democrats walked out they were close to a deal that in their words would have been an improvement for refugees and say that didn't only didn't get signed because the free democrats walked out but what about the other big player in german politics the social democrats there was a chance they could come back in form a coalition with angle or merkel as they had done before the election and everything would be fine with their leader and former european parliament president . martin schultz has spoken to the
