Crumbling Germany - why 'it's a bit broken'

Ahead of the German elections, Katya Adler travels around the country for the Today programme.

As Germany faces a depressed economy and the cost of living crisis, its national infrastructure becomes an increasing issue for German residents and politicians alike. Katya speaks to voters in East and West Germany about broken bridges - of which there are up to 4,000 across the country - as well as trains, WiFi and why Germans still send faxes.
