This evening Guenther Jauch asked the Mayor of Berlin, Klaus Worwereit what he thought of the upcoming visit of Pope Benedict to Germany and Berlin.
Worwereit is a practising Catholic and an openly gay man.
The mayor answered in a most positive and gracious manner and was looking forward to Pope Benedict's visit, pointing out that the pope is also a head of State. He sees it as a great occasion for the city.
Worwereit was re-elected mayor of the German capital today.
The losers were the FDP, who are the smaller party in the Federal Government, and the Left Party. Winners were the SPD and Green party. The CDU increased their vote.
It means the new Berlin Government will be an SPD coalition with either the CDU or the Green Party.
The Pirate Party won more than five per cent of the vote which means they have seats in the new parliament.
