Roundtable: How relevant is Merkel to Europe?
She's the head of Europe's biggest economy and many would say, the EU. Angela Merkel is trying for a fourth term as German Chancellor. Is victory all but guaranteed? And what would that mean. Twelve years as Germany's head and going for another four. Angela Merkel has weathered political and financial storms, emerging stronger than ever if you believe the polls. So what does the future hold for the woman some also see as leader of the free world? At the Roundtable was Sergey Lagodinsky from the Heinrich-Boll-Foundation; William Cook, a journalist from the Spectator; Matthew Qvortrup, Professor of Political Science at Coventry University; And Leopold Traugott, Policy Analyst for Open Europe. Roundtable is a discussion programme with an edge. Broadcast out of London and presented by David Foster, it's about bringing people to the table, listening to every opinion, and analysing every point of view. From fierce debate to reflective thinking, Roundtable discussions offer a different perspective on the issues that matter to you. Watch it every weekday at 15:30 GMT on TRT World.
