I mean the overwhelming majority of german citizens once us to Work Together in a civilized way. With the oath and in Turbulent Times like ours there is a growing need for forms of behavior that havent been spoken about for a long time and he did that because they were seen as selfevident having been forgotten and in the past months in our country there have been tones of contempt and debasement indeed. That has no place in a civilized means of working together. Also coming up u. S. Senator bob corker giving voice to a language no other republican congressman has dared to speak publicly calling donald trump debasing to the nation and an utterly untruthful president. You know you would think he would aspire to be the president United States and act like a present United States but you know theres just not going to be the case apparently. Or we begin the day with two men two countries and the endangered values spoken to today germanys former finance minister voice and u. S. Senator bob corker both delivered in distinctive styles and different languages the message that politics cannot continue to go on as before more on senator corker later here in berlin germanys newly elected parliament held its first session today for the first time in six decades the parliament is home to a far right Political Party the a. F. D. Became germanys third Biggest Party in the National Election last month riding a wave of anti immigration and promises to prosecute the chancellor and to disrupt the establishment and that is where. Enters the stage today he was elected president of the parliament or better said guardian of the political piece mr short was except in speeches served as a warning to those preparing to misbehave but also as an appeal to political discourse that doesnt aim for something that is lets just say smaller than the least common denominator. It now falls to parliament the longest serving member to keep things under control with the elected president of the bundestag the politician from chancellor merkels party called for calm proceedings in the debate and to play by the rules the obvious way we speak to one another can set an example for discourse throughout society. We are not here to beat each other up. The new parliament has more members than ever and forty percent of them are newcomers the business friendly f. T. P. Is back and the far right a. F. D. Is in for the first time under old rules a member of the a. F. P. Would have opened the first session as the oldest m. P. But this time that role went to a veteran f. T. P. Lawmaker the rules on the matter were recently changed which the a. F. D. C. As an affront. This rule stude unchanged in one hundred fifty years of parliamentary history theres only one exception in one thousand nine hundred eighty three it was broken by him and gathering because as a nazi he wanted to ostracize his political enemies. The first exchanges already proved fiery. If you are seriously comparing yourselves to victims of Hermann Goering then youve already done your own crudity. Both the s. P. D. And the left party are rallying for more open confrontation with the chancellor. The Parliament Must resume its role as the main stage of Political Exchange and not t. V. Talk shows or one on one interviews from reporters madam chancellor. I think that means that the parties especially the opposition parties can suggest topics here that the chancellor might find very unpleasant. But merkels conservatives and her potential Coalition Partners rejected that suggestion that the right to question must remain an instrument of parliamentary control and not a weapon for the opposition. You want to make a show of us with a History Lesson today and we wont allow it each parliamentary faction has the right to nominate a Vice President in the assembly but the candidate was rejected by the other m. P. s for stating islam is a political ideology and not a religion. And with that you see weve already got the first points of conflict in this new parliament to talk about that here in the studio with me is our Political Correspondent kate bradys good to have you here at the big table kate lets lets talk about the referee for all of this whats going short with today you do for our viewers they may not be aware the Parliament Even has a president i mean how important is this position president and how important was it that was going sure became the president because hes like a speaker in other countries parliaments and his role is really to keep that balance and this is going to be more important than ever now that the f. D. A. The farai if they are in polman as people have said in the past that german politics will become the action that goes on in palm and can sometimes be a little bit monday and now theyve got quite the opposite and things are going to get could get quite rowdy in the next few sessions over the next months and even the next four years of this palm and of course scheuer has that experience and thats something that a lot of people are going to be turning to and obviously his role as the bundestag president hell be directing the debates and saying who can speak when and more importantly perhaps who cant speak a certain point and have in making sure that the conduct is correct in parliament that it follows those rules and if you were there today i mean do you get the sense that most parliamentarians are they confident that whats going to show a blue will be able to manage this what could be a very rowdy crowd now with the a. F. D. Of the d. F. T. Has what more than eighty or ninety members of parliament now exactly i mean even before todays vote when which a sword. Voted in as the bundestag president and we even had their physician policies members from the s. P. Dave the social democrats and the left party backing the decision of angler medical c. D. U. To show. The forward as a. Nominee for the presidency in the bundestag but the other m. P. s are also going to have to play a role as well in looking ahead to how they deal with day after day of course if they completely ignore them and try to shut down any of their arguments in parliament theyll be seen as ignoring that twelve point six percent of voters he was doing voted for the a. F. P. But at the same time theres the concern that they dont want to let them get away with everything because of course then theres a concern that they will use the time that they have in parliament to push forward those far right ideas these ideas in the agenda and we have to remind people that the a if he was elected on a promise to try to prosecute the german chancellor for her refugee policy and also to disrupt the establishment the way it is just day and weve got a story now giving you a look at the a d. Which was arguably the star party of this new parliament today. On the first night on the. View. Germanys politicians are adopting a new Vocabulary Words such as fatherland love identity country and pride the author carolyn m. Carr asks if these politicians are copying germanys nationalist party was. The decisive factor is how strongly the f. T. Can continue to influence public discussions and determine how certain topics are discussed in my opinion the f. A. Have been surprisingly successful in doing this. For the card. And if the politicians take their place in germanys blunders time for the first time today their influence seems to be bigger than the number of votes the party won in germanys recent elections. We will take back our country and our people. A sign of the times says callahans finest man one of the internets will fathers of germanys new right. The success of the f. T. Isnt simply because it managed to unite nearly thirteen percent of voters behind it their success is linked to trend a Bigger Movement the end of which we cant see. And this trend is already changing the climate for those from a non german background people such as as recruit joke who often speaks from was once in germany. Mentioned im one of the experience of germans with an immigrant background is that attitudes are getting harsher and thus do you have heard but at the same time theyre being told their needs are on the political agenda i think its extremely dangerous just sixteen for. A changing climate many politicians dont know how to react. To election victories in europe show two radically different approaches frances emmanuelle macross waterfront the far right austria Sebastian Kurtz poached the far rights topics dont let the right set the agenda ones catalin. You can close off the right flank by becoming rightwing yourself thats an illusion you have to decide do i want to live in a secular open democracy if so then you have to defend these principles. Been fatah. Vice man from the new raj believes any attack is positive doesnt try matters as mao said is that to be attacked by the enemy is not a bad thing like doesnt of its a good feeling because it clearly shows were on to something and the same is real competition fatherland love of country identity terms made popular by the. But who will now set the lead for how these terms are used a balancing act for germanys bundestag. And is a balancing act for this new party as well kate i mean they are basically a protest party they are basically a one issue party they were for being anti euro now its anti immigration and they have to provide parliament with more than ninety members now that me thats what they want do they have ninety qualified people. Actually be parliamentarians its a valid jimmy question for any new party of course as you mentioned those over they have some limited experience they have. Members now in fourteen of germany sixteen state palmas but a lot of these m. P. s who entered the bundestag for the first time today on novices and that could also be an issue in what we mentioned before and how they behave in that conduct in palm and do they know exactly how to conduct themselves when joe ring a debate every day during a debate or what about how to conduct themselves at the upper echelons of the party i mean there have been problems there is there the possibility that this party this far right party could basically implode goes already weve seen just the day after the election one of the founding members before petraeus she stood down and is now sitting as an independent in the parliament and so we could say the same thing happen in those already being internal disputes as you have at the moment are members and then also you have the even further right wing members within the party so there could already be some friction once parliament gets in the way you know the friction i think is already preprogrammed well just have to see how many sparks are created by that our Political Correspondent kate brady on the story for us tonight kate theres always that very much. Words that may do more than just state u. S. Senator bob corker today went further than any elected republican member of congress has gone so far in questioning u. S. President dollar trumps fitness for office earlier today senator corker made the rounds on Early Morning television repeating his criticism of what he called mr trumps dismal performance he said the president s planned lunch and new with senators today was distracting and nothing more than a photo op was editor corker sits on the powerful Foreign Relations committee in the senate now earlier this month in a New York Times interview he lashed out at the president s rhetoric over north korea saying that the president could lead the u. S. To ward war three when mr trump quickly retaliated on twitter which led senator corker to then send that infamous tweet comparing the Trump White House to an Adult Daycare Center you know here is part of what the senator said today upping the ante against the u. S. President. Someone of this. Mentality or any present United States is something that is i think the basing to our country and. You know its. You know you would think he would aspire to to be the president United States and act like a present United States but you know theres just not going to be the case apparently and its up to others who serve unliked of capacity where their governors or mayors or senators to you know try to conduct himself in a manner that is more of a coming of a leader but hes obviously you know not up to that ive said to me on multiple occasions where the staff has asked me to please intervene it was get right to something that was really off the tracks and and look i have seen no evolution an upward way i mean hes matter of fact i would say it appears to me that. He appears hes said that the president actually deep valving i mean those are strong fighting words in washington the u. S. President was watching that interview and he fired off a series of tweets attacking senator Corker Bob Corker who helped president obama give us the bad iran deal and couldnt get elected dog catcher in tennessee is now fighting tax cuts that was the first tweet that he went on to tweet corker dropped out of the race in tennessee when i refused to endorse him and now hes only negative on anything tropp look at his record trump added another tweet isnt it sad that white wait senator bob corker couldnt couldnt get reelected in the great state of tennessee one out fight tax cuts plus. And he tweeted further senator corker is the incompetent head of the Foreign Relations committee and look how poorly the u. S. Has done he doesnt have a clue as the entire world was laughing in taking advantage of us people like little bob corker have set the us way back now we move. Our lives pull in our washington correspondent carolina Jim Moret Carolyn its good to see you well the the feud between the senator and the u. S. President certainly kept you busy today talk to me about the impact of corkers criticism today i mean will it make a difference in the Trump White House in the long term. Well probably the will the impact has to start a brand because it is now another republican senator you name to name him jeff flake who has announced that hes not going to run again for senate in the midterm elections next year in november and that means he has nothing to lose just as corker who is also retiring from senate so also flake from very clear very hard words against the president of the United States he said we should not normalize Donald Trumps behavior you can excuse one thing or two but not continuously we have to speak out and stand up i hope that more of us do we cant wait any longer we cant continue with this behavior and this clearly shows a kind of for belly and the Republican Party and as we know also senator john mccain will retire from senate because of Health Reasons and in the past he also has criticized the President Donald Trump mccain has said that donald trump is poorly uninformed and impulsive and also suggests a day on whether there was a relationship between him and the president mccain and sort of almost non so with flake and mccain and corker there are you three senators of the Republican Party who have found very clear worse against the president a friend yeah i want to pick up too on that and senator jeff flake weve got a sound bite from him that just came in lets take a listen to what he said today we must stop pretending that the degradation of our politics and the conduct of some in our executive branch are normal they are not normal. Reckless outrageous and on dignified behavior has become excused in countenance as telling it like it is when it is actually just reckless outrageous and dignified and undignified. And when such behavior emanates from the top of our government it is Something Else it is dangerous to a democracy i mean i think whats interesting looking at this is the fact that weve got these these members of Congress Republican members of congress now lashing out at the president but these are not members who are running for reelection i think theres something for our viewers to keep in mind these are you know members of congress who have nothing to lose at the ballot box next go round lets take this story there beyond u. S. Borders senator corker sits on the Foreign Relations committee he said today that leaders around the world know that the president is not telling the truth what can mr corker do in terms of Foreign Policy to limit Donald Trumps agenda well he is the chairman of the committee of Foreign Affairs and the senate and the congress has already shown in the past situations that they can decide without having the support of donald trump for example in the case of for russia they decided to impose sanctions against russia even though donald trump didnt want this so they do have an influence on Foreign Affairs and regarding that other countries for example of germany are looking for different paths to have a dialogue with the United States and maybe ignoring in a way the white house corker might be a perfect partner to talk with for the german bundestag for example thats it in short term point to make there more have to see how this plays theyll get the feeling this story has some very very long legs our correspondent in washington on the story for us tonight carlina chernoi carlina thank you very much.
