Demand the closure of the migrant camp known as the jungle. They say it is endangering their livelihood and their lives. Increasingly dangerous tactics. Thanks for joining us. German chancellor on merkel has admitted that her partys disastrous showing is linked to her policy on refugees. The democrats came third in the poll behind the antiimmigration party and the social democrats. Politicians are urging them to change course. It has opened to more than a million migrants over the last year. She took of course, this has to do with refugee policy. People dont separate these things. That is why i am responsible. Even so, i think the decisions are the right ones. And we have to work on it. Even though shes absent, the partys has germany talking. It is the first time the democrats have fallen behind. This is alarming. It is regrettable they have become so strong but i think that merkel needs to consider her refugee policy. She is keeping her head and pursuing a policy. It is not easier than a year ago. I dont see how she will keep this up. They see itself. The conservatives are about to change their policies not about to change their policy anytime soon. They will now quickly get back on track and something we find highly unlikely. Even the Coalition Partners have voiced disapproval. They feel the chancellor is too hesitant. We wasted time with unnecessary debate. The federal elections are a year away. Concerns are growing. Has serious is the defeat for chancellor merkel. It is definitely very serious for her and a symbolic the feet. Imagine the party beating them in the home political state. The seriousness of this is demonstrated by the fact that merkel very unusually spoke about these regional situations. What happened does not necessarily reflect what would happen. It is a state where parties have had presence in recent years. It is definitely a big problem for merkel but i would not say it is necessarily the beginning of the end for chancellor merkel. Russia and the United States have failed to make progress in talks on syria. President obama says they had hoped to finalize the details of the ceasefire but says the negotiation had proved to tough for now. After the smiles and handshakes, the real action taking place was on the sidelines. Syria was the focal point of private discussion barack obama and vladimir putin. Previous bilateral talks have resulted local ceasefires. We havent yet closed the gaps where we think it would actually work. But my instructions to secretary carry was to keep working at it over the next several days. He offered reason for hope. Indicating a ceasefire was in the works. I really hope that if we reach an agreement, we will be able to talk about improving and intensifying our cooperation with the u. S. Including those operating in syria. It wasnt even on the main agenda. So many world players, they dominated the final day. Host we are joined via skype. Thanks for being with us. Do you think the summit has been successful or was it hijacked by all the bilateral meetings on syria . Much like all of these events, the conferences are always hijacked. After all, this is a chance to get the 20 World Leaders together and provide them with a forum in which they can discuss things albeit bilaterally or in closed rooms. It was going to be on the cards or it will be something else. That is what part of this is. Largely, thats where things get done. They called on the g20 to take forceful action. Think it means strong action. Decisive action attempting to make some substantial change rather than maintain mistakes. It is calling for decisive, immediate action that is unified. Rather than having divisions amongst members of the g20, it is calling happen very quickly. Beijing put on quite a stage show. With that kind of show get in the way of real substance . It certainly did provide a fantastic show. The cultural heritage. There are downsides. It in teed the city where it was taking place. And we see a lot of the reporting has taken place on it. It has to do with a lack of red carpet for president obama. Rather than having the substance being reported back in the media , there are political issues that end up dominating. China tried to keep the focus on Climate Change and the world economy. It is in a very strong position in regard to the economy. It is a very strong and precarious position. Huge amounts of the earths atmosphere. Demonstrating that it was taking this issue responsibly kind of shows a position of strength and that it is trying to behave responsibly. From Lancaster University in the u. K. Many thanks for that. In syria, the Islamic State is taking responsibility for a series of bombings. They were hit early on monday.
