remains in his garden. where there was live asked them for the past year but much of the worth of what they say they don't have the money or the stuff. the only thing they promised was to come and pick up the remains but only after i dug the mount myself it was a bitter and. a small local undertakers business has helped with the burial of a small number of the victims of italy crash a complains they've been buried anonymously and without dignity. it's been exactly 30 years since the berlin wall fell today only few traces of the iron curtain remain much to the disappointment of tourists who come to see the historic barrier.

where did the berlin wall luckily this metal strip marks where it once stood but where can you see pieces of the wall itself we are some tourists if they found the wall no. i have it set up there ok good yeah because i'm going to head off that way. i don't know $900.00 i gate was no no that's that's somewhere else i don't know on both sides of the former border lynn has grown and grown together and the long time residents remember it where all the wall just behind you behind me yes. there's nothing there. that's tough luck but it was there part of the wall still is around at least a few meters were original sections with missing ones marked by metal rods to form

an iron curtain tore still want to touch the concrete that once divided not just but when but the eastern and western blocks like this man from california. actually expected to be more tall. but on the other hand tools like it's extremely durable and impressed it still here the remains of the wall are a real tourist draw guided tours take place daily he was controlled by border troops in the end in 191-2000 of them and watch towers in this area every 2 to 400 meters tourists can see the one watchtower still standing here otherwise the tour guides have to help people visualize what this area used to look like. just one thing there are traces you can show how the city's changed and what the war meant for people who live here. without

a guide like andrea's mutability and often look for the ball inventing. i have no clue. we just arrived recently so there's that one of the there but i doubt that this one. but this actually was part of the berlin wall what east german north orit's used dubbed the anti fascist protection barrier one stretched for 160 kilometers now just a few kilometers remain and the border is gone for good. thank you from now the united states will hold presidential and congressional elections the key question remains will donald trump be reelected we asked residents of richmond central wisconsin for the past 40 years they've always voted for the presidential candidate who wound up in the white house. feeding time for dairy farmer mark stalls and his calves like most people in richland county stalls

voted for president trump in 2016 but twice for barack obama in the elections before this time he says the political mood is anything but clear we kind of we tend to like more than most the fall i don't i we don't talk a whole lot about it but it can get very testy very quickly even within our family i'm going to give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give give even though you voted for trump in the last election marks told cares about key democratic issues like health care and climate change he also wants an end to the president's trade more farmers like him particularly hard he says. so that that's hurt we don't have a good place to ship malchen way products and cheese and you know it's all right on the markets got a lot of milk and cheese on it and americans are drinking less and elk wisconsin lost over $600.00 dairy farms in the last year. richland center with its 5000

citizens is the largest town in richland county a bellwether for the presidential election since 1980 the majority here has always voted for the winning candidate. richland county is traditionally a republican county. do we always vote that way you know i think it's with all the impeachment so it's going to be very noisy and interesting for the next year but if i was betting today i would bet he'll get elected again. at the local newspaper editor dawn key 1st says left and right wing supporters in the county are fighting for the public's attention she is often criticized for printing opinion letters that are too critical of president trump i suggest to those persons they ought to write letters their their own selves expressing their beliefs but most of those people decline and they don't explain why not i suspect they don't

want their name in the paper. dairy farmer mark stalled says the decisive factor for him will be who the democratic contender is if the candidate is too progressive he might stick with donald trump even if that means more suffering for him and the farmers richland county. south africa is considered a paradise for jim lovers newly created spirits are always finding their way into the country's national market it already offers 500 different varieties but there's one flavor that even seasoned aficionados need some getting used to. this lady is always good to see people's reactions while preparing is tasty after all and louvel is no ordinary gin it's flavored with elephants.

yeah it is a little bit funny to think that that was elephant dung but it's it's good surprisingly good. if you didn't expect so you know. what makes me feel better about it is all the alcoa that serialize this whatever that was inside the tank doesn't really make a big difference to me it tastes good. less and sleigh and his wife have a special ingredient for their gin in south africa with the scope. and there's some danger involved a pride of lions watch this with bated breath by the 2 former academics came up with the idea while on now they're in business. smells of grass and leaves is love is loaded very botanical it's because cd elephants all this

amazing food and they digest so little and the rest of their food is just posh right through their digestive system very quickly and ends up on the on the felt floor indeed that doesn't smell too bat. still the pa crane jurors are just getting used to seeing people collect elephant feces. it's still for you a little bit would like to. somehow oh. yes yes. that's. where we collected about just over 3 of the size banks. and this will be. what we have about. 4000 bottles 6000 bottles which will hopefully get out of the elephant feces get washed and dry to

the workshop then it gets deep engine for 24 hours just like it back to find a product as a premium gin for more than 30 euros per bottle it's a clear success for the gin distillers. it's been crazy so it was it started off as maybe we could do this is a part time thing but we as readers soon realized if we wanted to make it successful and if we if you wanted to grow the business and it had to be a full time job so forth for 2 of us it's a full time job. the spirit make us now i hope that the elephant dung infused gin will claim a permanent place on the shelves of south africa stores and boxes. thanks . healing wounds in record time with the passing the
