but 1st another story from here in germany about music you know nazi music because it turns out the far right music industry here is growing and concert organizers have all kinds of tricks for getting around germany's strict laws on hate speech but you can get public funding for their events by registering as political demonstrations there's a new documentary just out on german television about the neo nazi roxy and we've got this short look at it. the quiet town of tame out in eastern germany is home to just around 3000 people but 2 years ago tame became notorious as the location of one of the biggest nazi gathering since germany lost world war 2 a far right music festival with 6000 visitors. reason for some of us with these nazi rock events are a sort of who's who of organized neo nazi groups will he who identify with this
6:46 pm
ideology come together from all over germany. i'm sorry i didn't is a journalist who's been reporting on the far right music scene for years his research shows that neo nazi ism is not just about hate it's also big business escapes it's about commerce ideology and propaganda that's what's at the core of all this out and says neo nazi networks have grown and become more organized just last year alone germany's domestic security agency confirmed $320.00 neo nazi concerts. the nazi salute is a criminal offense in germany but that doesn't stop everyone to cook the festivals are also stocked with merchandise shirts and hoodies with clear messages. national socialism mugs and of course c.d.'s there are $32.00 german labels that distribute

only neo nazi me. pulling in millions of euros. to the beleaguered of course we haven't seen their bank statements so we can't calculate exactly how much they have a life but if you do the basic math you can figure almost a 1000000 euros in sales last year in the german state of the reindeer alone it's quite a pretty penny and some of that money goes to the organizers and these are tough business people who aren't just in it for fun and good we also believe some of the money is used to buy weapons and still on a pretty small scale but it's an indication that there are also terrorist structures within the neo nazi scene. and they are sees a clear need for government action. law makers talk about bans against the far right they have to see how they can get at the producers of this music the businesses the bands the labels the distributors that's an approach that would really damage neo nazis they have to be reined in that's what i'd like to see.

now 30 years ago the part of germany we just saw was still locked behind the iron curtain but then suddenly everything changed this week and next we're counting down the days until the anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall and we're meeting artists who were there including the photographer klaus file bush who took this picture behind me as a young man trapped in the former east germany he hoped someday to see the world and then he got his chance to know your take was right here on what was the most thrilling notes of my life i'm not going to leave. my god on what november on november 19th 989 i was standing here and we were overjoyed that people would bang on cars cheering and dancing in the street we didn't know is this real thing we're always dreaming about.

for 41 years germany was a divided country from 1981 until 989 a while even split berlin into the western part belonged to democratic west germany the eastern part to communist east germany and it guarded its borders selous like anyone who tried to escape was arrested or shot that meant east germans freedom of movement was severely restricted in largely limited to other eastern bloc countries so after the wall fell come steve i bush travelled the world and made his hobby his profession the train physicist became a photographer and published books of his photos. doesn't disappear my as i was saying then i never believed i'd see all of that but i was convinced that something would happen at some point and i always said they can't paint a scene forever that even that. bus

. my niece germany from my childhood onwards it was self-evident that there was a wall and that bank wherever you went south east west or even to the coast at some point you could go no further the idea of leaving and going to the west was not an unusual one for east germans but doing so had serious consequences at this point i would have thought that my mother wouldn't be able to visit me regularly was so painful that i didn't pursue the idea further help. didn't found my thoughts were for 4 years after the berlin wall fell it became his main subject. i tried to photograph the wall in its original state that the window of opportunity was quite limited only around 14 days at 1st people kept yelling at me you can't photograph here 2 weeks later they were hacking huge holes in the wall. today very few traces of the wall still remain. one of us is just on the shingly there's nothing
6:51 pm
left standing here the pieces of wall that still exist here were found somewhere else and put up by the owners and that's a shame if. not only his life but an entire country doesn't. believe that it will all disappear overnight and in less than a year east germany would be gone completely street took its course it happened and we can live quite well with that but it was a gamble over say for a good reason. not to be perfect but really i'm a big advocate for freedom freedom of movement and being a free person and feeling free that's something i wish for people of all over the world. freedom of movement that could be the name of a dance by move males and keep the french choreographers work vest take out is what you might expect if you put hip hop dancers on
