German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said that attempts at creating a multi-cultural society in Germany have "utterly failed." Merkel was addressing a national meeting of the youth wing of her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party.
Her comments come amid a rise in anti-immigrant feeling in the country. A study by the Friedrich Ebert Foundation this week revealed a quarter of Germans sympathize with nationalist or racist sentiments. A third who took part in the poll said foreigners should be sent home if there wasn't enough work.
