In a special programme, Vivienne Nunis is joined by 91热爆 correspondent Damien McGuiness in Berlin to discuss the core issues.

We hear from Thilo Brodtmann, head of Germany's largest industrial association, the VDMA. Thorsten Schmidt, CEO of Heller Machine Tools in N眉rtingen gives us his view on the recent slowdown in manufacturing output.
