  Hello and welcome to The Intelligence from The Economist.

• 00:13

  I'm Rosie Blau.

• 00:14

  And I'm Jason Palmer.

• 00:58

  He's been campaigning in the east German state of Saxony-Anhalt,

• 01:03

  which is holding a crucial election on Sunday September 6th.

• 01:07

  I attended one of his recent rallies on a blisteringly hot day

  and called him the most dangerous man in Germany.

• 01:37
