begins in germany today to mark the fall of the bun in what 30 years ago in a moment we consider how life has changed in berlin since that fateful day but 1st a look at how events unfolded on the 9th of november 1909 was the it was a night that changed the world 30 years ago history was turned on its head the berlin wall began to fall. was the they've all had stood for nearly 3 decades slicing through berlin it was a deadly symbol of the cold war between east and western europe between the u.s. and the soviet union was demonstrations in east germany had put pressure on an already unstable regime the communist government then decided to east travel restrictions to the west just think of minor changes just to show for the communist
3:09 pm
official culture of god mistakenly told reporters that the new regulations were effective immediately within hours joyful chaos broke out at east berlin spota crossings it was the beginning of a new era was. much has changed but in since the wall fell the hands divided city has been very unified but as we hear in our next report some divisions remain. the center of the island skyscrapers and tourists fill the streets but this was the death strip until 1909 as oh no berliner was allowed to enter get danica grew up in east berlin the war stood right next to his home this is where he started taking photos . when i was relatively operative i took my zoom lens and photographed it from far away. because it was strictly forbidden to take pictures of the border area
3:10 pm
that's going to resolve out of. his pictures show berlin's radical transformation this wasteland has become germany's government quarter the city may change but some things stay the same people need to love and to eat. i used to love to come here with my camera because there was lots of life here lots of images to be captured and one thing that hasn't changed is counted because it's still here today. famous for its color worst cannot get has been selling sausages for 90 he is now and still serves the same menu the kleins today and different though. we have this used to be a working class neighborhood there were factories everywhere everyone dropped in here after their shift or on their way to work. the book ate the most east berlin
3:11 pm
and this was the end of the world today the city has been reunited but forget donegal somethin still remains. i mean business or death if i still have the wall in my head. and when i travel across a public transportation in my mind i'm traveling from east to west or from west to east that's just stayed in my head of. my family and that's why i'm envious of the young people who do not have the same side on the. foot those who were born after the war what were manes is just part of history. all this week we ended up being you special coverage and reports on the events which led to the fall of the berlin wall 30 years ago. staying in germany and chosen love michael has just visited a memorial to the victims off the life of

3:13 pm
a far right nationalism didn't become clear until late 2011 when modals and bernhard were found dead in a burned out camper van. days later tape turned herself in her trial lasted more than 5 years germany's biggest in modern history it included more than 260 pieces of evidence and testimony from nearly 600 witnesses and experts in july 2018 a court in munich found shaper guilty of murder and other crimes she was sentenced to life in prison then it was the state's turn to defend itself a 4 year special investigation found ample evidence of authorities incompetence and negligence that allowed the n.s.u. to go undetected for so long they appeared to be in denial about the presence of far right extremism in germany a threat german leaders have only recently made a priority. now correspondent sun myung was at that memorial ceremony in speak out
3:14 pm
on in the victims of the su he sent us this chancellor merkel came to make out to pay her respects to the end there she's victims it was here that the racist killings were planned by 3 neo nazi extremists and questions remain how they were able to live here for years undetected by the authorities burkle said her government would do everything possible to prevent a repeat of such murders but experts warn that the extreme right attitude are on the rise in germany and the provocations of the far right they say are becoming bolder and more violent. medical correspondent simon young reporting from. now let's take a look at some other stories making news around the was greek police have found 41 refugees alive in a refrigerated truck in the north of the country police stopped a truck on a highway near the city of tante routine checks efficiency most of the people
3:15 pm
inside were from of gonna stand and unharmed as the refrigeration system was not turned on the driver has been arrested. flash floods of hit parts of italy's northwest to severe weather pounds the region the fire brigade has evacuated residents in homes hit by mudslides areas of weather alert as more rains and heavy winds cost. saudi arabia has approved an initial public offering for the state oil giant around co the listing on the riyadh stock exchange would make aramco the world's most valuable traded company was well over a trillion dollars. the global fast food chain mcdonald's has fired its chief executive for having a consensual relationship with an employee in a statement the fast food john's board said steve easterbrook had vanished company
3:16 pm
policy and showed poor judgment company policy forbids managers from having dramatic relationships with subordinates mcdonald's shares have almost doubled since easterbrook took over in 2015 he lost to leave the board of directors as. a kid ferguson from his business desk joins me for more on that story welcome good not this relationship was consensual why then was to leave well as you mentioned just there mcdonnell the rules do prohibit managers from having any kind of relationship of a sexual nature with subordinates easterbrook as the c.e.o. of the company by definition can't have a relationship with anybody at work. and we don't know if this person in question was a fellow high ranking executive or if maybe the person was a flipping burgers but what we do know is that the reason that these rules are in place is to prevent abuse of power and if you think about the fact that steve easterbrook last year earned just $16000000.00 that's 2 sighs and times as much as
3:17 pm
the median salary at mcdonald's there's certainly an argument to be made that an equal and even relationship between him and anyone else his workplace is impossible and mcdonald isn't the only company that has these kinds of rules in place and in fact last year intel's boss actually stepped down for the very same reason for having a consensual relationship with an employee the key to give us some context here it seems mcdonald's doesn't have a very good record in ensuring the safety and security of feelin employees it seems that's right so if you look at the sector in general in the u.s. 1st of all one in 4 employees say they have been sexually harassed at work and the majority of these victims are women of color working in low wage jobs and many of them say that they face the choice of either speaking out or keeping their jobs and mcdonald's is no exception at all in this regard earlier this year 25 women across 20 different cities in the united states filed complaints about sexual harassment at work and these allegations range from inappropriate touching to soliciting sex
3:18 pm
and this of course generated a huge amount of negative publicity for mcdonald's there were protests across the country and they did react and under the leadership of steve easterbrook they introduced some measures to try and combat this problem so there was an anonymous hotline introduce and extra training but you can see in this context that it's not a great look for steve easterbrook to be having what the company itself deems to be an inappropriate relationship when they're at the same time trying to crack down in this kind of power course this is also really you can't neglect movements like me to time's up in its context because we're living in an era where the behave. powerful man is no it's no longer being kind of blind eye today it's coming under scrutiny and while the cynic might say that this was simply a preemptive move on the part of mcdonald's an optimist might say it's just an instance of corporate maker and responsibility. thank you. you're watching
3:19 pm
the news coming up ahead nickel sacks and big changes on the way for germany's most successful football club what next for the mighty. but 1st to the u.s. where president presidential election is just a year away and donald trump could be heading for a tough race and average of all the opinion polls put strums approval rating at just above 41 percent but more seriously for him almost 55 percent of the americans disapprove of the job that he's doing a key question is who will trump face in the 2020 election most polls predict that if it's former vice president joe biden then trump will lose that many suggest that the more progressive democratic candidate elizabeth warren could also have a slight edge over trump if it is also one way of assessing which way the election could go another is to look at bellwether regions richland county in wisconsin has

a humiliating $51.00 defeat on saturday against nico kovach his old club eintracht frankfurt it was simply too much for a buy in munich bosses who parted ways with the coach on sunday night coach's contract was supposed to run until the middle of 2021 the berlin born coach had been with the bavarian since july 28th teen and after a shaky start he won the league and cup double with biron in his 1st season but recent weeks have seen inconsistent results and discord within the team after the frankfurt debacle. this is what has happened is not a fluke if you saw the cup game in bochum last week and what has happened isn't really a big surprise to me it's kind of reasonable rational but it can't just be blamed on getting a red card early in the guy it's your order card to nothing worked out. so now we are in a situation which we have to confront a woman joins us another we will have to analyze things and talk about it but of
