The situation that relations between the u. S. And germany have gotten a little complicated to put it mildly. German defense minister and include calabar recently said that the friendship between germany and the us is still very deep and is still very important but to be blunt theres a long list of issues just to name a few of them yes once germany to spend more into france to fulfill the requirements of nato the u.

This is bear no washed last in the middle of berlin the wall is still here but as a memorial the citys physical division ended long ago but there are still great differences between east and west incomes remain higher in the west thats visible in each paycheck. The income gap may have narrowed over the past 30 years but on average westerners still earn a lot more. Reunification brought with it the collapse of almost all industry in east germany virtually nothing came along to replace it it wasnt for lack of money the government invested 1. 6 trillion euros in the former east. But high paying jobs are rare in the east mind and 3 percent of Major Companies are in the west in another key difference in the number of leadership positions in the east versus west after reunification the top jobs in politics education and commercial were filled by westerners what started as a quick solution to replace eastern germany executives has stayed almost entirely in place. Federal judges University Chancellor senior government officials Corporate Executives Decision Making positions are only filled by easterners. Only 1. 7 percent of top leadership jobs are held by eastern germans and theres also a lingering feeling of dissatisfaction in the eastern part of the country 57 percent of easterners according to polls consider themselves 2nd class citizens that discontent also comes to the surface in elections the far right populist alternative for germany is twice as strong in the east as in the west. Its.

Also said it was time for just need to be more robust about representing its own interests and shes proposed setting up a new National Security council and thats a National Security council of this nature would make our contributions to International Crisis management faster and more effective it could also make an important contribution to how we formulate Foreign Policy strategy through foresighted Agenda Setting so. Good to so for more on that im joined by our chief political editor. We see that tell us more about this idea of a National Security council how is it supposed to work. Well you didnt go into the nitty gritty details but clearly here she is aiming for more streamlined policy geared towards german National Security interests in this National Security council and that would stretch from Economic Policy but also to International Development aid this is Something Like that countries like the United States have been doing for decades here in germany is something of a novelty and it could meet quite a bit of resistance here in germany as well and the defense minister and a good about also outlined new priorities and a vision for the German Armed Forces what did she say. Well she basically said that germany needs to be engaged more that it has to become more of a player strategically and she didnt which usually is what you hear from german politicians including the german chancellor Angela Merkel that did not exclude committing more troops to regions like the south held area where germany already has troops stationed in the country of mali but she also mentioned the indopacific that there needed to a push be a push back towards china joining allies there this is a completely new take a new commitment shes voice there and quite clearly this is not German Government policy but this is the woman who wants to become Angela Merkel successor is german chancellor so shes taking quite a bit of Political Risk here.

S. G. You ventus and byron munich are the 3 1st teams to go through and theres some of the biggest teams in the world so of course you always expect them to be in the mix and im not sure if i call any of them really favorites byron got through for instance and they are in in the midst of some complete chaos at the moment theyre really struggling actually just last weekend they let go of their coach. And have had interim coach on the flick run the show for the 1st time last night so theyre going through a lot and still manage to get through and we actually have a quote from him see about that theres been little ice and im very pleased with that so for most of the team put online its not been an easy week for the players and stuff comes off the coaching change. Weve reached the last 16 of the Champions League and we have very happy feet. So flick the interim coach is very happy but it looks after all a lack enough to performance by buying munich is that enough to reassure fans that mines back in form for the season can save the season yeah byron really werent very convincing in their 2 nil win over the bionic coasts they displayed a lot of the kind of issues that theyve been showing over recent weeks theyre defending was really out of sorts and once again they were bailed out by a goal from robert de and off ski he keeps scoring but if he wasnt around you hate to think what theyd even look like and thus far its on the flick goes hes only been there a couple of days and i dont really expect him to be very long so things are still in flux and at the end of the day its biron unit there are always you know title favorites or at least in that discussion absolutely the bines been was obviously a big guy live as we said but there was plenty of action Champions League and theyve also some surprises it was truly a wild night you had rodrigo an 18 year old for real madrid become the 2nd youngest player in the history of the competition to get a hat trick you had to shock hard to nascar have a crazy last minute comeback from 31 down against you know but for me what really was the highlight of all of this the most interesting thing was Manchester City right back kyle walker who you see there behind us had to throw on the gloves and getting a goal for 10 minutes which is really a very rare thing it only happened because the 1st keeper was injured and had to come off and then the 2nd one received a red card so walker.
