current german parliament when you compare it to the previous. oldest and that those different opinions have to be respected in certain cases also promoted yet at the same time he stressed the need to find compromise and find compromise by playing with but i respecting the rules by making sure that obviously compromise is also possible so the two elements side by side obviously debate and not necessarily the same opinions at the same time trying to find compromise i think that was the key message by the new president of the german parliament. compromises to must follow their jefferson you were listening to well frank sure talk and make his address to parliament what were your thoughts on his address i mean i was struck at how often he used the word respect he kept talking about all of the all of the m.p.'s have to respect each other they need to remain decent he used the word decency a lot and those those words in my mind or explicitly directed against the far right populist of the they of course when they got elected into the bonus talk one of t

his classes entirely in german. are you talking to people about refugees, about who they are, where they have come from? some people in gera think that it is too much, and they have problems for us, and so on, and so on, but i haven't got a problem with it. children are not responsible for all the problems we have got around the world. and so we have to welcome the children. i want to help them, that's it. and the state here does as well. the increasing hostility towards refugees in gera is a worry for the al—mohammed family. there have already been ten attacks here on refugees in their homes. and after school, talk turns to returning to syria. a subject daham and his wife don't agree on. you want to go back? so this is a big debate? she wants to go back and you want to stay. daham is still learning german, still training for a job, desperate to work. news on car radio: whether merkel or schultz becomes chancellor, one thing is certain — the german political mainstream is set to move to the right. 1.5 years on,

german. from the altar a message of tolerance and coexistence. on germany's national unity day the country's political establishment is gathering strength to face the heated debate that will mark the next chapter of german history. and for more on this german reunification day let's bring in our political correspondent charlet potts i charlotte welcome to you if you know germans really know the significance of this state but for our international viewers explain to us the weight of it you know i think it's a really important day for all germans but particularly for those who lived in former eastern germany of the g d r. who grew up there herself the german chancellor she said that it's a day of freedom from dictatorship to those who really lived under socialist rule for so long and we have to remember east and west germany was divided for forty years for over forty years and literally separated by a wall for twenty eight years so it wasn't an easy task to bring them together and finally on oc

the hapsburg ruler made his position on luther clear since the king of the germans didn't speak german he composed it in french. how many fish do you understand what he's saying. you don't need to understand french to know he has it in for losers and the timing type can be lickin those are his design if you're concerned about him he dated a liaison. whatever the un presenters can only end one way i miss you national often these days. you know he wants to see luther burned. to do that he has to get in first he's so you this is. in the eating to vamose charles the fifth declared luther an enemy of the church and state he held a previously issued guarantee of safe conduct but as soon as it expired luther was to be arrested and punished would come to that. luther set off to return to that and back but the journey was interrupted. by what was that hunters yeah god. yes and i know who they're hunting too. deep in the woods foresman ambush luther's carriage. when he goes in they don't want you. luthor had been briefed on the plan what looked like a kidnapping was in fact a rescue operation. t
