alone a very warm welcome indeed to focus on europe with me peter craven and europe with its huge opportunity for electricity is increasingly shifting to renewable energy sources which in turn means that it needs more and more role materials like copper electron mobility for instance is unthinkable without it and copper is in growing demand for solar wind and geothermal energy systems because of its excellent properties as an electrical conduct. all of which is good news for spain with its large copper reserves in the southwestern region of and alysia bant 2 decades ago a burst dam at a mine in the area triggered an environmental disaster now activists and goat herders like leo moderato fear history could repeat itself. cannot live as goats graze anymore. in the flood plains of sun look at la york it's

underneath a solid layer on the surface there is liquid mud. and i want to know what we want to hear is a very acidic and there's been contaminated heavily through copper production if the dams break than a much bigger catastrophe could happen then 20 years ago. in the village next door nobody wants to believe the scenario most families here lived off mining until the factory closed for 15 years mining has restarted 3 years ago and many are happy to just have their jobs back i love him and i mean our lives have been reinvigorated by the opening of the mine that i threw off a model with all its modern technology how could i not get that. one a kind of a say in the ecologist simply keep pushing anything and everyone. the mayor defends the mine too she even downplayed the procedural error they occurred during the
1:11 am
reopening and that's been confirmed by a court. on the base in the hole with such a project one needs to stick to the deadline so that people can present their concerns. this deadline required by law it was not met. but no environmental laws were broken it's simply a procedural matter and i think i mean they will have you mean to me that they will . be and a lucy and regional government justifies its decision in the same manner and was not willing to be interviewed. meanwhile the mind keeps running in the eyes of a college just this is scandalous watching from a feel to one place the citizens went and form sufficiently and hardly had any time to object everyone once of best technologies to be used for the construction of this reservoir as long as up. mission is not completely legal the patron actually not be allowed to be run. but business is booming copper is increasingly in demand

for crisis ridden spain a valuable resource is seen as a chance in life with its contaminated soil mining as opposed to recommit to. the goat herds downstream have the reservations concerning these developments. later moreno is happy to see employment return to the region but cannot comprehend how easily international corporations are allowed to exploit the earth. air command their own then it's money that runs the show and we must subordinate ourselves with that and that's all economy 1st they're not in favor of the hour they are going to mean. they are moreno and his colleagues know exactly what they're talking about. when it comes to safety they say no price is too high. a politician should learn from the disaster and prevent risking a new one. you know. well

this is how europe looked 30 years ago the continent was divided down the middle into nato and the warsaw pact west and east germany and of course west indies but then people talk to the streets in a peaceful revolution and in our special summer series marking the 30th anniversary of the fall of the iron curtain the spotlight this week is on germany 2 men who witnessed history unfolding from close up. this is all that's left of the infamous berlin wall some graffiti and neglected grass. these 2 men born in what was then east germany helped bring it down. well and yon on the left was extradited to west germany he helped get footage of the east german

protests onto west german television and protested when doing so was still extremely dangerous for the king to take the fall of the berlin wall was not a gift it was something people achievement the top of the ship and can be proud of that the small challenges we face today are nothing compared to this. victory. but disagrees fundamentally the lead sic photographer documented the radical transformation of east germany his pictures show the effects of germany's rapid reunification and what was effectively east germany's submission to the west. germany insisted on its own way of doing things most east germans lost their jobs and the country they had lived in vanished. you know the work we lost all faith and everything to do with the east we thought west german milk and sugar was better than our own even their people were superior.
1:15 am
many west germans wanted to profit for example those who judged one of east germany's beauty pageants it was held in life 6 just 2 months after the berlin wall came down as adama. back then i was shocked by how these human bodies were suddenly being exploited for capitalist game. and he said no looking at these pictures today they seem like an allegory of east germany's demise is a. default position. the ladies got dressed up as a given group gave it everything they had really. took and less fat stupid jersey god just sat there smoking cigars and grading them everything had begun so well crowd shouted we are the people of god roland and andreas met an

october 9th 1990 s. the most decisive rally at the time of just one month before the berlin wall came down was the brutal thing to mock this footage was shot by friends risking a lot of. smuggled cameras into eastern germany my friends took over the secret police and climbed the lights the church tower of bit of the army had taken up positions in the side streets backed up by tanks east germany was on the verge of civil war. it was i was open very soon grow some reasonably reports to the front off to the front row. that hadn't been our plan. so begin the them lot you know when the protest march started we've linked ours as we had seen people do in the movies. we thought that's just what you do but after a while we realized that the police and the army were not intervening they just let us march. the news to us the next day footage shot by

roland's friends ended up on the west german news it became obvious east germany's days were numbered. and i don't list from reporting from leipsic protests just didn't know foreign reporters could capture this footage 70000 took to the streets and. one of the 1st east german leaders to fall was head of the secret police the. from his headquarters he had overseen a vast informers network never would have imagined that his office would one day be a tourist attraction. he used this safe to store compromising documents on east german leader eric. on the card here. standing in arish milkers former headquarters makes clear just what great symbolic meaning because we have visitors from 40 different countries who admired germany for having toppled the dictatorship and for being this brave it sends a strong signal and creates hope. today

roland the un is in charge of east germany the files he shows us the cellar where there are endless rows of them germany was able to salvage most of them making them accessible to former victims of the east german regime. andrius are also depreciates this former east german communist party members informers were not treated with leniency after the fall of the wall. but he thinks other big mistakes were made to this day many east germans feel they are not treated equally and he says it was recognized too late that eastern germany has a problem with right wing extremism and xenophobia. whose use of those who are at 1st we chanted we are the people and. we are one people which is still acceptable.
