it's also one of the most visited attractions in germany. for centuries, the cathedral has also been a place of pilgrimage. the faithful flock here to see the shrine of the 3 kings, a relic where he thought to contain the bones of the biblical magi. an archbishop brought the shrine to cologne in the 12th century. ah, cologne has also undergone a facelift in recent years, especially the areas right on the rhine, with striking convoys of which resemble cranes on the one side of the river and a new promenade on the other. a few kilometers further west is germany's very 1st unesco world heritage site. ah . cathedral emperor, charlemagne ordered its construction in the 8th century over its 1200 year history . the cathedral has undergone many extensions and reconstructions. 31 german kings and 12 queens were also crowned in it's palatine chapel these days, the monuments to north rind westphalia is industrial past, have also become tourist attractions. the thoughtful i and co mine industrial complex, in essence, is now a lively museum, offering an

not to understand what the nuclear phase out means for germany. let's just take a look at the country's energy mix. so in 2020 it was renewable energy sources like wind, solar, biomass, and hydro, that hurt increased to provide 43.8 percent of germany's energy. coal is the 2nd most important source with leg nights and hard coast, applying almost a quarter of the electricity. here the german government is actually, i mean, to close all of its coal plants by 2038 as it reduces carbon emissions. gas fired power stations provided 16 point, one percent of germany's electricity in 2020. and then comes nuclear power plants which generated 11.3 percent for that is obviously about change with all germany reactors due to be switched off by the end of 2022. so the world is watching germany's energy transition as it aims to switch off sources currently providing almost 40 percent of its electricity. that's nuclear and co critic say that doing it too soon could lead to blackouts, especially when it's dark and there's no wind blowing. they suggest keeping nucle

workers from all of the world coming to germany and contributing to germany is a way that can be framed to everyone's benefit perhaps. >> she mentioned the pandemic, that is obviously the most immediate issue for this new government. how are they likely to respond to the current situation with the pandemic and the omicron variant? >> on the one hand, the pandemic did not appear equally in every part of germany in the same way. so it made sense that a decentralized lyrical system as the federal republic of germany that gives a lot of power to the governors of the different 16 areas can react differently and they did. evevery governor does things differently, but we also saw a lot of coordination happening on the federal level. that is why everyone was very curious to see who will be nominated to the new health minister and we have a professor of epidemiology expertise who was basically every day -- and for many years he was the health expert of the social democrats and was nominated to health minister. we both see basically a hard-line to fight the pandemic in the driver seat. it is very

north rind, westphalia, germany has 16 states in total. most of them were established after the 2nd world war, with the founding of the federal republic of germany. in 1949. after german reunification in 1990, they were joined by 5 new states, paul of which had belong to the former east germany, mecklenburg, western pomeranian brandon bog. saxony on hold for india and saxony. each german state has its own characteristics, 3 of them. berlin, hamburg, and breyman, our city states. the others are geographically defined, states yet differ according to their size, population density, and cultural and landscape features. so while destinations do travellers had fall when visiting germany the varia with its state capital munich, continues to be the number one choice of visitors to germany, even if their numbers have orland due to the corona virus pandemic. before cove at 19 struck, bavaria welcomed almost 21000000 people. in 2020, the states still accommodated some 7100000 foreign visitors with the reason why people are drawn to bavaria are pretty

here in germany, professor, thank you for joining us on the show. would you ever have imagined that it would get to this point where people would actually immigrate overseas? because of coven 19 measures? no, the immigration of groups, especially feminine, is not a new petal. members of the protests f already emigrated and support us live abroad . they have emigrated to reasons of conviction, as well as to escape prosecution. so we have in class we have some in class in canada where former journalist office, real estates, we know that one of the most critical spokesman is now living in turkey. we know the formation of the us book community historically it's, it's one of the strategies of the protesters and the denial to caught up with the situation. but what, what is now relevant is to observe what happens in these colonies. is there further radicalization are they producing propaganda so and we need to link it to the multiple forms of protest in the immigration. it's one part of the social media offer a lot of of possibilities to create these paral

are very young in germany. we just started and when i imagine like the same as communist movement and equal equal rights of women, how long that took and still we haven't reached our goals as women. then i can imagine that it will. it will need some time to talk to talk about diversity to reach the goals and to have also here are equal rights. now you've said that there is structural racism in germany. tell us how deep you feel this racism goes it's. it's really deep and the main problem is we don't talk about it. we talk a lot about the right extremes and about nazis, but we don't talk about racism. and it starts in a very young age when it comes to which schools the students go. and there is this some image off by which students can go to the better schools at in the 4th grade that the teacher sky side, which coolest the better school for children. and without really being aware of it, there's this image like children from migrant families can't really achieve much. so you have to send them to the easiest cal

this will be a huge thing for germany next year. and of course, the biggest challenge for the country will 1st and foremost, to go to it will be to go through the said new wave of infections or covey. 19 infections due to the army chron, variants are here in germany, or officials, or bracing themselves for sorry numbers come january. a 1st, my stern hath been reached by the government of olaf shouts. when he promised the end of november, the 13 1000000 jobs would be administered by the end of this year. he succeeded. his government succeeded albert's officials, though so fear data meets this, the soaring number of infections. well, oh, so a health care personnel could be affected. meaning that less people would be available to, to work in hospitals or so in public services. so really, germany is bracing themselves at bracing itself to face this new wave of infections . but it does so hopefully this won't last the entire year, but a tough winter ahead or i'm afraid. yeah, fingers crossed images stay warm, stay dry and enjoy festiviti

and this is this high temperature that we have in germany. and actually, it is very much due to the green political style that his temperature has gone up because they have always taken their emotional political positions. the next catastrophe of 54 years ahead. in former times it was a new nuclear war. then it was a dying out of german forest and now it is climate change and to the human race will disappear due to increased temperatures. so apparently the green party cannot live without the catastrophic, in which the green party is called to save human kind from these problems. and the book i've seen you said just before that, perhaps because of this tendency to catastrophe size. it is much easier in germany to be a popular green or a social democrat politician than a conservative or a christian democrat. one. in fact, i think you're both, the worth conservative has now associated with something retrograde. but it's one thing to buy for power and another thing to be in power which is inherently conservative undertaking. do you think this new

this last elections in germany of produce that rather paradoxical results. and i think historically lowest showing what angle americans, christian democrats and some of the best results for her rivals. both the social democrats and big beans as far as you are concerned, is that more about the mark or fatigue or the excitement for her opponents or her successors in this case. well, actually what we have seen is that the vote for the city you have not been vote for this party. they have been vote for angela america. and the policy angle america has conducted throughout many years was up policies. well, come for the social democrats and for the green voters, sir, for what we have seen is that many of people who formerly a voted for glenda wins. im also top candidate of christian demo. credit union now did not vote for the christian democratic copied. but for the social democratic and green original, this is what we have seen. and uh. busy sure, it has promised to continue the policy line of america and say a for he has won by a narrow margin, but he is one. and

as for r t, germany did not put any pressure on brussels or the decisions it made in germany. neither the federal government nor the state governments engaging meadows like that . so despite all the people's best efforts, r t deutsch is primed and ready for action. launching on air and launching a fresh assault on those old ratings and views, rankings. mainstream media beware. well, with all the resistance at r t t has face, including today's youtube termination, we decided to take a very brief tongue in cheek look at why the authorities there are just so against it. i mean, you must, it is so delicate and as you want to talk to, we stand together. we'll continue to stand together against russia. 80 in germany. repeat some of the areas that we doubtless may say no to 70. the shockey dawson about their village influence other nations, france b, u. k. and even latin america and other countries in future than they knew where to high from cycle alone with members of your household, please, please, please, please. we're going to continue to fight. we'll go home, don't you just need

germany has a new chancellor. the social democrat olaf scholz took the oath of office and took the reins of power from angela merkel. it was a moment political history was written here in berlin. angela merkel, the most powerful woman in the world, handed over her authority in the first transfer of power the country has seen in 16 years. her successor tonight promising germany a new beginning. >> german chancellor olaf scholz, this is the moment he waited for. a standing ovation in the but his stock -- ovation. when asked if he accepted the decision for him to lead a country of over 80 million people, a firm yes. then flowers and fist bumps for an occasion that does not happen very often. he is just the ninth postwar chancellor of germany and its first in 16 years. the final key moment, the oath of office. >> i swear that i will dedicate my efforts to the well-being of the german people, remote their welfare, took them from harm, uphold and defend the basic law and the laws of the federation, perform duties consci

we want to go to germany. what need to go? but that path is blocked in many migrant se, so 2 is the way back to minsk, the united nations human rights office accuses both poland and fellers of pushing migrants back and forth across the border. it refers to statements made by migrants interviewed by a u. n. team in early december describing human rights abuses on both sides of the frontier. the majority said that while in belgrade they had been beaten or threatened by security forces, and also alleged the balance sheet security forces, force them to cross the border on team also had numerous reports of people being immediately and automatically returned irish from poa the human rights office is calling on both nations to address the crisis in line with their obligations to international human rights and refugee law. so what would be the red pill or the blue pill? that was the choice facing kiana reeves more than 20 years ago. and the groundbreaking science fiction epic matrix, the film and its 2 sequels to pick to the destinati

but germany wasn't having that. and so there have been some accusations of well, but germany is not as dedicated to the freedom of speech principal as it may be, wants to appear on the line. yes, so anyway, how effective would this plan be? were supposed to mateo dani, a commentator, tech travel gigs, he thinks just blocking one platform anyway. won't stop. the spread of extreme is content. obviously a telegram the users who and telegram at the moment a shouldn't have too much of an issue. moving to whatsapp apples. i message platform, google's messaging chat platform, there are loads of different messaging apps and services. and let's not forget, they're also dedicated social media platforms which make it even easier to distribute this type of information or to congregate and discuss these topics. it's also very, very contradictory. we're sometime about 10 years ago in the, in the arab spring, we were celebrating these platforms for enabling uprisings across the mcgray. but in the middle east, it's one of those thi

that meant no extra gas would be arriving in germany. now. gas pran continues to live up to the contracts. it has with european nations like germany and others. but what it's not doing is sending any extra on to the market. what that means is there's an increased demand and well not the supply as i said. so that means the prices have gone right open. fact they've gone through the roof this month alone. prices have risen by 40 percent since the summer they've gone up 300 percent and that is started to take a toll on energy companies and number of them deciding that this is just too rich for their blood. and they've had served while they fold it. they've had to file for bankruptcy, the latest to do that is neck and, and strong. here in germany they supplied power to some, 13000 homes across the country. they'll not be doing that anymore as they decided they just can't be part of this with the energy price. so high. now, i said that gasper on continues to live up to the contracts which it signed. however, that hasn't stopped european leader

there's a lot of, there's been a lot of political brinkman ship in germany. i really believe that there is a geo political element to this with germany is a really important language block for media. so it is really important in terms of soft power in terms of influence. not only is it a dangerous precedent, but the, you know, the language is also disturbing when you have this sort of blas, a dismissal and dismissing off and r t simply because it's russian. they don't give any specifics of why they don't like the content. they just say that, oh, it's because, well, they must be up to no good in generally to prelude to hostilities when you have all out media war. that's a prelude. sometimes you could say to hostility, that means that they're going to be escalating in other areas. well, we have reached out to one of the main european authorities that deals with press freedom to get its position on the dispute. the o. s. sees representative on the freedom of the media told us our requests will be considered as soon as possible. i resumed, hello, unfortunate say

that is obviously about change with all germany. is reactors due to be switched off by the end of 2022? so the world is watching germany's energy transition as it aims to switch off sources currently providing almost 40 percent of its electricity. that's nuclear and co critic say that doing it too soon. could lead to blackouts, especially when it's dark and there's no wind blowing. they suggest keeping nuclear power plants running as a stable source of energy. will i be speaking to michael schneider, who is lead author of the world nuclear industry status report and an opponent of nuclear power? i asked him if, given europe's current energy shortage. this was the worst possible time to be switching off nuclear energy sources. well, you know, i mean, the german nuclear pays out has been in the making for a long time. it's decades that the german society had been discussing the issue by the way that the term like in a given that which now has been integrated into the, the english language like energy transition dates from 980. and you

mr. ma, within 25 years, we want germany to become climate neutral. and to achieve this, we will move forward with the greatest transformation our economy is seen in more than a century. in this period we will achieve independence from coal, oil and gas. and he reminded listeners of one of his social democratic party's key election promises. and the pay is also a matter of respect. that's why in 2022 will be taking a major step in increasing the legal minimum wage to 12 years per hour. shall says, says new year's address phone with optimism. it was a declaration of good faith. but he also called on people to play the part in forming the future 15. i'm the grid, the beginning of the new decade, a new era as dawning, lawyer and era that will be successful if we actively shape it. because we can make a difference if we remain determined and take out the fight into our own hands than the one in the spring in chief political editor, mikella crooked here. mikaela. tell us why this annual address matters for the new chancellor. well, 1st of all, it is 1st ad

it's germany's highest mountain peak since 2017. a new gondola has whisked travelers up to the top in just minutes from here. visitors are treated to fabulous alpine panorama weather permitting on the plateau under the summit that such pizza has just the thing for winter sports enthusiasts. the highest ski area in germany ah, meaning the swan king ludwig. the 2nd also contributed to the various attractiveness with his extravagant castles. the most famous being newish lunchtime, one of the top tourists draws in all of germany. ah ah, with the mountains and lakes bavarian regions like the algoy or the pre apps of a plenty of possibilities for long tracks and tours. ah ah oh, and the various cities are characterized by the clearly visible history in urine berg, the states, 2nd biggest city. many buildings in the old town were destroyed during world war 2 and lay to rebuilt. for instance, the flower, kotia, or church of our lady on the main market square 515000 inhabitants live in urine of the city is especially popular with tourists fr

and one of the major problems in germany, it's germany, is a huge economic pressure on the ospital. and that we have to treat many patients and have to last nurses and all the doctors were it. and that is one of the major point and depend damage. really had a huge impact on that because you have to do more and you had to do more and the workload was even higher than before. and that is one of the major points. and therefore, i guess the 1st thing we have to do is to lower the workload and you can only do that if you have more colleagues. and the 2nd point is that especially the nurses earn more money than they do at the moment in germany. so understanding is a key weakness. what more should the government should health care companies be doing to bring more especially nurses into the health care system in your case in germany? and let me give an example in your k, for example, you have one nurse for bon when elated patient in germany. one nurse has to care for at least 2 ventilated patients during the night. mostly for 3 patients. and that is one of the major points we have in german

more on the curb in 1900 situation in germany. let's speak to dr. young sans. he's the general secretary of the german society, the intensive and emergency medicine. thanks for being with us. dr. young since germany is surrounded on all sides by countries with soaring infection rates. is this country due for a rude awakening to yes. hello, good morning. i thing at this point in time we cannot provide any reliable data on the proportion of the amo from the very end in germany. this is also do like a lot of on health minister said due to the previous public holidays. here. the reports are always clearly delayed, how ever it can be assumed. i think that the on the can very and will certainly dominate in january like in the other countries like great britain like an all way like denmark like portugal. and this means that like, and other countries named con greece, we can expect significant number of infections and currently 10000 infections with the on the chrome veterans have been reported. here we are recording daily growth rate of

as for r t, germany did not put any pressure on brussels or the decisions it made in germany. neither the federal government nor the state governments engaging meadows like that . so this fight will the people's best efforts. artie deutsch is primed and ready for action, launching on air and launching a fresh assault on those old ratings and views, rankings. mainstream media beware. so at all the resistance r t d has faced including today's youtube termination, we decided to delve into just why authorities are so against it. 0, one or 2. yeah. mm hm. you must, it has to be deleted. and as you want to talk to, we stand together, we'll continue to stand together against russia, 80 in germany. repeat some of the areas that we doubtless made say no to civilians as chunky dawson subaru. village influence other nations, france, u. k. and even latin america. and other countries in future than they need to wear to high from cycle pollute with members of your household, please, please, please please. we're going to continue to fight with just need to rush. you must not be allowed in ge

collins, germany's chief negotiator. he says that under international law such negotiations can only take place between states. i not individual groups or there are many groups who say unfortunately were been not part of the negotiations. and if i would start to count these groups, i come easily about 101520 groups who are complaining not to have been included. but august kapoor, after the holocaust, germany didn't only negotiate with the state of israel. it also negotiated directly with many jewish groups on and others yelp, but i o w, i wouldn't, i wouldn't know media web lighter. and i went idea that it won't matter which one, whether the outcome says kapoor is that the namibian government has failed to secure direct compensation for the rarer. instead, the $1100000000.00 euros which germany plans to pay will be administered by the namibian government. and the only money guy on budget was g yang drive your, he'd only go by you and warner, media, warner, media, you, what did you wound rogers you today with the america?

that's down from 94 percent last year, and germany in particular is on edge. since the coldest pulse of winter is still ahead, the relatively low gas reserves should be used carefully. if we keep withdrawing gas at the current rate, the level will be very low by february. so no buffer, no real resolved, that anyone can sort of depend to in these really tight times. and things do seem to be going from bad to worse. because state own electricity to france or e t f announce that it will be shutting down 2 of its neat, killer, reactive because of safety reasons. some pipes are part and you need repairing on top of that and not the to have pulled walk pending inspections. this is bad news, of course not just the fronts. his electricity is most kate and you can generate to that, not just bad news for the nations or exports to, for example, the u. k. but it's also very nerve racking for the mall kits which have already been on a total road coast right over the last couple of months. but of course, who was taken the biggest head of all people. i mean, i was absolutely

and here we certainly can improve in germany and some other countries. so we're closing out one year entering another in the midst of another wave of infections. what should be done differently, amir to come? i think we need to prepared that ways are coming and that we need to react fast and need to really have better data available and provide the estate of 2 scientists where we can evaluate whether there is a situation really going on in germany right now. we are speculating due to the infection rate of other countries and say like, well this will also come to germany, which is very likely, however, when exactly this is arriving and how quickly this is developing is something that we as of today, cannot really predict well. so we need to really watch the situation closely and keep the discussion as transparent and open as possible. i think one of the biggest questions we all have is if the vaccines currently available are going to remain effective as the virus continues to mutate. do we need boosters coming up very soon? i think that we need to conside

and one of the major problems in germany, it's germany, is a huge economic pressure on the ospital. and that we have to treat many patients and have to last nurses and all the doctors were it. and that is one of the major points and depend damage really had a huge impact on that because they have to do more and you had to do more and the workload was even higher than before. and that is one of the major points. and therefore, i guess the 1st thing we have to do is to lower the workload and you can only do that if you have more colleagues. and the 2nd point is that especially the nurses earn more money than they do at the moment in germany. so understaffing is a key weakness. what more should the government should health care companies be doing to bring more especially nurses into the health care system in your case in germany? and let me give an example in your k, for example, you have one nurse for vonn when too late and patient in germany. one nurse has to care for at least 2 ventilated patients during the night. mostly for 3 patients. and that is one of the major points we have i

do germany in the you need to play in increasingly tougher role here. after all, there is criticism that the u. s. is backing more and more away from the world stage? sure, well i certainly think it's an important it's, it's a way that you to put germany and take a bigger role on the world stage. but i also think it's just simply a realization that engagement with china on an old, based on a school. so economic basis is not really an agent for change with in china, and that human rights abuses for one unfair trade practices off which the european chamber of commerce is less than $900.00 recommendations to improve the environment for you to be in businesses doing, doing business in china, you know, there's lots of room for improvement there, and there's a feeling that china isn't playing fair. and simply knowing those concerns. i want to pick you up on that actually because she said that he was hoping that germany would treat chinese companies fairly. so what do you make that statement? it sounds like you believe that the criticism should be going in the

this is this intervention on the part of germany. and chancellor in particular, did not prevent the united states from supplying weapons to korean or sending its military advisors or from interfering very rudely in the ukrainian politics. we may argue about the facts and waste our time on that. but i think what russia sent the weapons to, i mean, we just talked about libya and sent to libya is against international law. there is no provision that prevents the united states to support your crime militarily. it's not, it's not, it's not with by talking about international law. we're not talking about the feelings of people here. and this is something that has to be relevant has to be talked about. that if you rush or withdraw troops from your crane, i'm sure that there will be no that there would be solution. but you have to remember it was rush or the aggressor rusher that violated the best number on that we just with. i don't want to renegotiate history here. let me ask you a specific question. a question that relates directly to the

given germany's tough negotiating tactics. they have always shaped away from even mentioning the word genocide. but the, the biggest challenge was her and went to which has remained very key issue to the point that he took almost deranged. then there is no difference to the word reparation wise germany allergic to the term reparations negotiations in our view have been for political and moral reasons. there are, this was not a legal question. we avoided illegal speech to avoid this kind of misunderstanding. and reparation is illegal term and therefore we spoke about healing the wounds, which means in a sense, probably the same but not in a legal term, but says palmer, the negotiations were less about healing wounds than they were about avoiding legal liability. what was a very heavy debate later on, they came around and said to that, okay, if we agree to pay the partition, then we will do our we with development it and we said no, those are 2 different things for their victim. community is good reason why germany is keen to av

in germany though, our sister cello in germany r t d has been taken off you trip. it happened on the day it launched its 1st televised broadcast in the country. the reason given for the band is that our t d e's previous youtube account was removed and apparently the owner of any blocked channel is forbidden from starting at new one. however, our td's new channel actually has a different owner. and in any case, you can always watch the broad neutral d dot r t dot com. we got the new done on what unfolded on the launch day from one of the stations. in ocoee, dental has been terminated by you for what you to call a violation of the time. the court said that you've got to complain that auntie denton had stuck invented some technical safety measures. this means, according to that class, if your channel is terminated, you may be unable to use or create any child. and all to y'all said that was the latest addition to somebody on youtube that includes dozens of channels. it was set out by the company about t and then to be noticed in most cases, i'm confused by the team of

and those countries include germany. but they also include other countries with majority of significant german language populations, such as austria, switzerland, luxembourg, and so forth. this is where the separation is really important. the legal action is being launched against our tv productions, which makes some make some of the shows our tv productions does not need a license, because our tv production is not a channel. it channel is our tv that is coming out of here. and thus moscow, our headquarters, our parent company applied for i applied for the for the license in serbia. the amount of pressure that a new german channel has faced even before it went on the air. difficulties with banks, difficult t is not just this licensing, but you know, the pressure on, on our guest and so forth has been really unprecedented pressure. again, as you've mentioned, the beginning on our digital platforms, we're ready to keep, to keep fighting. we have reached out to one of the main european authorities dealing with press freedom
