W. Cars that they bought the lawsuit as the 1st of its kind in germany lawmakers paved the way for a class action proceedings after the Diesel Scandal broke in 2015. Watershed moment for germanys legal system and a day v. W. Had hoped to avoid 4 years after the emissions scandal broke hundreds of thousands of drivers have joined forces to hold the car giant to account Consumer Rights groups with to avail of a change in the law which opened the door to u. S. Style class action lawsuits in germany. A region of german consumer associations believes volkswagen deliberately and ethically harmed the most and that compensation must therefore be paid so far the cheating scandal has cost v. W.

Mondays hearing comes just a week after german prosecutors charge 3 v. W. Executives including current boss hit back with market manipulation accusing them of failing to inform shareholders about the Financial Impact of the emissions scandal yet another sign that the costs of germanys biggest postwar industrial scandal are still being kind to. Youre watching news still to come on the show 30 years ago a dream came true for thousands of germans fleeing the communist east we look back at the event that changed the course of history. But 1st in austria a former chancellor quits and his conservative Peoples Party are looking to build a Coalition Government after winning the biggest share of the vote in a general election on sunday quits is set to return to power after his party secured 37 percent of the vote a comfortable majority but not enough to govern alone could serve as chancellor until may when his government collapsed over scandal involving his far right Coalition Partners of the Freedom Party they saw a dramatic slump in votes yesterday. And lets go right to health money standing by in vienna hi max youve been speaking to voters there in the capital how are they reacting to yesterdays election we have to measure the wind of change on the streets of the real wind is pretty strong today but as for the wind of change some people seem to have not just what happened yesterday quite yet now before listening to those sound bites i brought along from the streets of vienna you have to keep in mind that vienna is very different from the countryside so its really hard to find supporters of the far right Freedom Party around here in fact we tried we didnt find any that in mind but in the countryside thats where the most fervent supporters of the Freedom Party are enough said listen it. Im disappointed about the social democrats results id wanted them to do better for me im happy about the greens and yes i find whats been happening with populism in austria and europe quite difficult. I had been hoping for the greens of the liberals but thank god in the end the far right lost on so long. Its alarming it really isnt clean and good and im glad the greens are back in parliament but it still doesnt say right with me right off because the right wing populist party is so have so much power and nobody really understands what sebastian courts really did would have us was supposed to equip 3 peat moss totally at its of course our dick honestly its great you know exactly what i was hoping for and im curious about coalitions and what the Coalition Talks will bring. Or at max that is exactly the next question the focus shifts to Coalition Building what are sebastien courts as options. He has 3 options if he only wants to build a coalition with one other party and why would he want otherwise the 1st one is a former partner of the far right for the party but they have already all announced after their heavy losses on sunday evening that they want to get back into the opposition and rebuild reboot their party also have more control over what happens in the party now the 2nd party that could be called is a partner of the social democrats they had their worst result in their history in austria and they are quite far away from the bus and courts when it comes to social policy so many here think thats not very likely either that leaves us with the greens they made huge gains 10 percent and that puts them mathematically speaking in a position to form a coalition with zip codes and experts here think thats the most likely one although something that wouldnt have necessarily been anticipated before the election this is now a real possibility m. X. s brief if you can how would a potential coalition with the greens actually work. The difficulties dont lie on Climate Policy or Economic Policy but on migration for example very different positions about coats was a hardliner when it comes to migration the greens are not and also social policy. Calls wants to slash taxes the greens dont they want to use the money on social policy on Climate Policy so thats where they would need to align their positions and it wont be easy all right he did hes not been reporting for us from vienna. Now 30 years ago thousands of east germans fleeing communism made their way to the czechoslovakia in capital prague now their destination was the west German Embassy there they were hoping to use it as a staging point to get to freedom in west germany their gamble paid off and on the 30th of september 1909 they packed on to trains heading west 3 decades later some of them have been retracing their steps. A journey back in time. 30 years ago. I was traveling in a train just like this one. Spike. And its like reliving it all over again. Back then sunder was one of thousands of refugees fleeing east germany they travelled in special trains from prague to the west but to get there they had to pass through east german territory where they feared theyd be arrested. In order to keep memories of those journeys alive some of the people who made those trips then doing it again. They all left east germany that way. After several tense weeks in the west German Embassy in prague. In september 1989 east germans were poor ng into the embassy the building was quickly overwhelmed. Many ended up camping out in the Embassy Grounds it was cold. Sandor spent 3 weeks here with his wife and 2 children new arrivals came in over the fence every day. For them. It never stopped raining the cut down board so he didnt have to walk through the mud the. Tents wherever they could find the space where the match was the tents were all crowded up against one another. Then the fateful moment on the 30th of september west German Foreign minister Hans Dietrich genscher arrived speaking to the refugees from the balcony his announcement that they could leave was drowned out by cheers. 0. 00000. I cant ship promised that everyone in the embassy would be allowed to go to the west sandra was there and heard him. While youre standing right here. But. Its all coming about his little. That same night santa and his family left the embassy and boarded the train to west germany. He thought he was sure it was a very emotional journey of a 50 very difficult ordeal of a day in which i froze. It was a train to freedom. Just a few weeks later when the citizens of east germany gained their freedom on november 9th 1989
