Angela Merkel's legacy

As her sixteen years as Chancellor draws to a close we speak to Angela Merkel's most recent biographer while voting kicks off in Germany's election, as well as reporting from Berlin.

Also on the programme, before the imminent release of No Time To Die, Daniel Craig's final outing as James Bond, we take a look at the real life inspirations for the fictional spy.

Our panellists this week are Cornelius Pollmer, journalist for the German daily, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung - one of Germany's biggest daily papers and Shachi Kurl, President of Angus Reid Institute, a Canadian public opinion research organization.
