Germans are voting today in a closely watched snap election to elect a new government following the collapse of a coalition of the social democrats, liberals and greens parties.

Also in the programme: Israel has suspended the planned release of six-hundred Palestinian prisoners accusing Hamas of violating the ceasefire terms; and we get a taste of the array of films at this year鈥檚 Berlinale Film Festival as it marks its 75th anniversary.

Joining presenter Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories of the day are Stefan Meister, the Head of the Center for Order and Governance in Eastern Europe, Russia and Central Asia at the German Council of Foreign Affairs, and Emma Graham Harrison who is senior International Affairs Correspondent at The Guardian & The Observer newspapers.
