1:05 pm
struggle not wanting to accept the changes that are happening in the suburb or a mixture of all of those. but again, impact it's having on the ground is just huge. it goes beyond the governments of a suburb and the state of but beyond the, to great conflicts, there's also conflicts all over, or, i mean, a region people dying. so it's becoming a huge disaster. and a lister is going to be a cease fire. you'll see thousands or people being affected. a reminder of what happened to ethiopia some 30 years ago with your benefit. i meant that affected so many people and made an instant refugee with thousands, many thousands of your parents all over the world. i mean, look at your reporting from this avodah. let's now take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. u.s. president donald trump, has made his 1st public statement since t.v.

1:08 pm
do so. in the end, we will blow up or put a fire to all of this. we will not leave anything to them. here i didn't want us gone now the children in armenia are crying, they want to return home. it's hard, this depth of sorrow. for decades, the nagorno-karabakh region has been the source of bloody conflict between the 2 countries. under the ceasefire agreement signed by the leaders of azerbaijan and armenia, and russia on tuesday, as a by john will regain control of the calibers, our region, and several other areas. as armenians their fleet, many say they want to know why russia has abandoned them, is this great cities see it that it was soviet russia that originally declared nagorno-karabakh part of azerbaijan,

1:13 pm
like these videos, to showcase their collections. but something else is different. diversity, a new quota means that people of color must make up at least 50 percent of models on the runway for treats you diaz and for the lobby. slow are models from brazil. they have been fighting for this change for years. the quota is important. it makes the runway more diverse. the majority of people in our country are people of color. yet most fashion shows would only have one such model. i'm just asking for a fair chance. that's all. i am willing to work hard. the sabbath. a fair chance until now it wasn't possible, says fernanda, despite being belittled and discriminated against, she has become
1:14 pm
a successful model. she even landed the cover of a british fashion magazine. now she wants quotas for photographers and stylists who are also under represented there for now, and change needs to happen on a deeper level will she would be so white people are wealthy. if a black person goes into a bank and they are looked at as a bank robber, that's because most of the people in the favelas are people of color changes in the air in brazil with inclusive of the now front and center. at least in the fashion they're up to date on day w. news this hour, but remember you can always get more in-depth stories and report on our website.

1:16 pm
1:17 pm
even though i was born in january, 1901, a year after the wall fell and about the threat of an eclipse. it's incredible to think that my parents who seemed so ordinary to me, grew up in a dictatorship, a place where tanks would sometimes roll through the streets, letters just awful anecdotes and move the fuck up if you can, while they used to be a law. i knew that it had been built and that my mother and my grandparents were trapped behind it. that was the reality. i grew up with guns, no mother, beth orton .
1:18 pm
brother and sister fans. and antonia had different and their grandfather. he grew up here in bend. i washed asset which mounts the border between east and west germany. the landis an early age. how cruel that border was, is, can we go in and after my aunt affy it, i remember you telling us that you once looked out of the window onto the cemetery and saw someone attempting to escape that yeah. yeah, that's right. but that was long before the wall was built. it was 1953 during the east german uprising. we saw a man crawling on all fours between the gravestones. he was approaching the church grounds and our house was already quite close. but we can see also that he was
1:19 pm
surrounded by armed guards and i was 13. it was a terrible thing to see. he was a lost cause, and there was nothing we could do. we couldn't warn him. we hid under the bed clothes, pulled the blankets over our heads, and then we heard the gunfire. with that, couldn't you have yelled from the window and now you have, you have no and then what? he'd already been spotted. what if there was no point in warning him on, he had been a movie, you'd have distracted. the guards imitated birds or something for your kid to plant, lived in the eastern half of the city, his home and the church where his father was pasto would demolished when the button wall was built. then i watched the 2 also demolished where the love of his life grew up. she became a hugely popular politician in the pastry unification years. which was grandma's
1:20 pm
window. this one, those 2, right on the left of the left window. the left one looked on the pavement so if she stuck her head out of the window, she always said her head was in the western or backside it was in the east. her backside in the east bronx side. and i'm quoting her. you know, after i need knock on the window and knock on the window on my way to choir practice. but it's all because of the kids fighting to think that was right here. the floor was probably here and this is where grandma would show her bed around her desk right here. you know, you are again and years ahead of time when married for 35 years until her death in
1:21 pm
2001961, the ballon will was built literally on the doorstep composed of 2 stars about the washed cause. i went out the door on her brown hours transfer to buy a newspaper and thus would use thomas and i saw that barbed wire had been laid out on the east side of the street when for your stuff. and there were police armed with machine guns. you month on my stuff and it didn't mean much to the rest of the world. but it meant everything to a married couple who lived on one side and wanted to have breakfast with their parents on the other side. 1st, the void or grandparents who lived in the west and wanted to take their grandchild for a walk and home both time and park. and all of a sudden you couldn't go from one street to another from one side to the other, with the wool divided. and germany for 28 years. the wall is now in memory. the city one again,
1:22 pm
studies humanities and works part time in the planetarium. antonius studies physics, they live just a stone's throw from the war memorial site, and from where their grandparents once lived. i know what i see. i know it's where my grandparents lived and nowadays you see tourists milling around here all the time. and i love it. but of course, it's also just where france lives and where i go to celebrate new year's, or watch a football match or whatever. but what i will agree that in history sounds a bit over the top, but it's everywhere. when you go out partying and you cross back and forth any number of times without thinking anything of it, regain it, head on to it, no doubt have enjoyed that her grandchildren live. so need to wait. she grew up. she joined the social democratic party in 1909, gaining a reputation for plain speaking to successful reunification of the 2. geminis was always one of her key concerns. this is actually, that's why i say we need to participate in whatever way we can get involved.
1:23 pm
you vote for, for i was aware from the outset that the moment she entered politics, greg, you know, would never let go. and politics would never let her go. she gave it her all and not just for self or for the people she'd suddenly been granted responsibility for . it's if i'm close to the same stuff. i would have loved to have spent a few days with her as the person. i am now discussing ideas with my searcy years after the fall of the berlin wall, antonia in france. feel that differences between eastern and western germany still linger there. not sure if germany has grown together or apart with sending them on a journey across eastern germany to find out visiting places where people are venting their dissatisfaction and disappointment. come on, let's have
1:24 pm
a song. i didn't finish just finish. cut off first. all right, no network. there's not exactly reliable internet around here. but much of the former east germany is struggling in the communist era, the country was run down and on the verge of bankruptcy. since 1909 nearly 25 percent of the population has moved away. wow. does little industry left here.
1:25 pm
antonia and funds are critical of coal mining. like many young people today, they worried about the environment. but in eastern germany, coal is still important. lignite all brown coal mining is a major employer and an integrity part of the region's identity. zuko but slough has spent her entire working life in a coal mine. as it is, does i'm about to start up the excavator 1st. i'll give a warning. and then i'll set the excavator in motion. i can dig all that up. you see the cable, it's connected to the mast and the mast lifts the arm. it's perfectly safe, which is wobbles of it. all right, so i'll sit down. wow. has
1:26 pm
been operating an excavator for 35 years, shifting up to 3, you know, half 1000 tonnes of lignite per hour. but germany is aiming to shut down all of its coal fired power plants by 2038 reunification hit this part of eastern germany hard . now it's facing yet another copy for action. but, or is it a dish? but how do you feel, knowing that it won't be long before these coal mines are closed down? the plane is that this is too much, it's over. it's a very emotional issue for us when we feel we're being vilified. we're made out to be the bad guys. we're destroying the environment and we're responsible for climate change. in my opinion, that's just rubbish. it's what the mining industry does a lot to protect the environment, but nobody talks about that. of course, coal mining has an environmental impact,
1:27 pm
but the industry makes up for it. in the total look again, i can't, can't you understand people's concerns why they're making these demands? of course they don't think miners are terrible people. they think they're perfectly normal, nice people who are doing their job as best they can. but they want to protect the environment and bring about change. so i look, i've got nothing against environmental protection but not in this radical well 8000 people work in the lignite strip mines here. the coal industry is by far the biggest employer in the region. wide scale, unemployment is looming. physica puts off, it brings back painful memories of what happened after 9 $189.00 after reunification. it's a very difficult subject for me. i've had to say goodbye to friends to colleagues who are also friends. it's a very emotional thing. you've lost your job, i've kept mine. it's hard for both sides. this is for because it in place. and
1:28 pm
so were you just lucky with your job safe because it's skilled. no one's job was safe. one you must have been afraid to. of course, how much transformation can reach and withstand a few kilometers from the mine, moped enthusiastic gathered in the village of tower. this is where the zim soon as 51 pads were manufactured, back came up, was that communist east germany which ones yours? when they were younger, france and antonia also rode my pads like beasts. you have to cling to the noise,
1:29 pm
the smell. it's all still there. 30 years after the fall of the wall, mopeds are really big thing here again, it's young kids today like my son, 14 or 15 year olds and the think tank are with them all the time. it's great to talk about it isn't forced on postal service. computers or the new, it's a symbol of values, the good old days. great stuff. they told us. all right, let's take this one for a spin. so you can sit on it while you push by and you can i think of all the met is glad to see the village taking pride in its heritage. but in recent decades, many locals left to find work in the west. the area house rebounded somewhat, but when the last mines closed they could be another exodus. the photo of you know it,
1:30 pm
but there's talk again about structural change. once the older generation don't feel affected, they think they don't have long left anyway. but what about the young generation in this nation? they'll move away if the regional gov don't manage to attract industry here. i say it's almost too late for that bill to speak with dr. i thought this was you and all of your antonia and friends, a visiting kath and kim is a retired lawyer. yet, how old were you when the wall fell to the math. i was born in 47
1:31 pm
so early forties projects, i was 36 when i started studying for the wall fell. yes. and in 1900, i ended my studies which were under the east german system. a lot. it was as if my entire world had collapsed. ok, so then what, oh i see you've been studying a completely different legal system for a while. that's crazy. how infuriating. so you had just finished your studies and the wall fell, so it had all been a waste of time. a total waste of time, every weekend, a colleague and i went to horrible to university in berlin to attend and listen, menorahs on west german law. those were hard times the, the a muslim heart. it must have felt very unfair your wrong. what do you think now? i mean as a lawyer, when you look back on what happened then you know,
1:32 pm
it was unfair. a new system was basically imposed on us. we had to relearn everything. and not everybody was able to adjust. for any it must have been really tough being in your mid forty's, having built yourself a whole life and then having to start all over from scratch. i can't imagine what that must have felt like if i just didn't give up. she went on to found a successful legal practice in front of my spare time because i think i was really shocked to learn how few east germans there are in executive positions. it's a good feeling for if you want to, i'd yes, sort of $121.00 heads of federal ministries, only 3 of them are from the former east. can now it's like that across the board. why is that? do you think many people in the east lacked confidence and we were looked down on during reunification. everything to do with the east was discarded. there are
1:33 pm
16000000, east germans, but few of them hold top positions across academia, politics, business media. and you know whether someone is from he still west. germany is a question that still matters to antonia, even though she was born after the fall of the wall. so was her boyfriend, nicholas. he grew up in western germany, not far from the danish border. by
1:34 pm
the nazis when history happens on your doorstep, a wall falls and 2 different systems collide. then obviously it's something that's going to interest you. ok, but it wasn't obvious that the 2 systems were that different. you were interested because the state was of the east germany was poor. ok. yeah. but the simple fact that a wall was built to keep people in is a huge difference. sure. but my impression is that in the west, we realized that in the east people had fewer material, things of the view or products, things like coffee, bananas, bluejeans, and so on to kind of kind of bond on kind of. so they were disadvantaged in that time. they go on and so you knew that part and of course that you weren't allowed to travel or not to just buy a live report and you have western germans failed to grasp what it meant to east
1:35 pm
germans, to adapt to an entirely new system, to switch from socialism and a planned economy to democracy and a free market economy. all the rules had changed at work and in private knife to antonina has given me a different perspective. they made me think about it all, much more a lot, but still this is back. but when i'm with antonio's family, i still notice how much they talk about it in the fall of the wall, the east west issue. him article was enough in my family. it's never mentioned. we never, or hardly ever discussed the east west question with, for people in the west like my parents. it didn't make much of an impact. nothing much changed at the end of that. one half of gemini, little changed to the other half the world's turned upside down. on november the 9th, 1989,
1:36 pm
when the whole family was then known to november 9th, and now in the us, the 9th of november, 989, was my son's 18th birthday. he came of age in communist east germany. so we had thrown him his 1st big party boats and a fiat that commonwealth. then we got a call from a friend telling us how the border was open. so i was like, what are you on about? sure, right. it's open now, it'll be open tomorrow and i didn't take it seriously. but again, it got wind of it there. and then of course the party was over. in 958 of us piled into my little 5 seater our car and drove to borrow much trust. no one on the bridge on a fork of the crossing we heard was open to his i i
1:37 pm
shared them and i can still remember the particular quality of the light in the stony expressions of the border police who had no idea what was going on either and we crossed over and there we were in west berlin. it's the spring as it lands a cliff. he was deeply moving. were drove back after midnight. and then again, i wanted to go to the brandenburg gate i read the sunday as a teenager, it seemed so exciting. you were trapped behind a wall, you couldn't cross. and then at some point you could run. but when i saw the film
1:38 pm
footage, i just thought it uncool, they're wearing those crappy clothes, those horrible bright colors. as a teenager, i just thought, man who wears that sort of thing. and they're hopping around on a wall of ice. we know how to go through them, but by my maid twenty's, i found most clothes. totally cool on the street, someone you know already i, i'm pleased that sunday morning chances helping his friend family or james band get ready to perform in the my laptop for the park next to the former wall. this famous for its weekly fee market that sold out, they want to be there to snag a prime spot. but it's pretty crazy as musicians that you're kind of
1:39 pm
able to do this like put on like a proper show in the streets. you know, and even the police walks by and it's like, yeah, keep going. you know, that's awesome. tens of thousands of people descend on the park every sunday. a ready made up and coming bands with everything i was dreaming of what's now one of the most free spirited places in but it was once aboard the death
1:40 pm
strip when east german guards were under order to shoot to kill if they saw anyone trying to escape with kindness and antonia's youngest sister said, celia has just moved to the siblings, often come to the pong together. but how would you describe it to someone who's never been here? you see the history, you may know them out and say you're describing it to friends from out of town. what would you say this? but they could, i'd say imagine this was once the death strip. he was the hole and there was the wall. and now we can just walk along it and dance and play music. on monday, you can see that that's the west over there. you can see that the buildings on the one side are different from the buildings on the other. and i tell them how
1:41 pm
wonderful it is that all these people gather here and party together. that's what i'd say. for almost 30 years, it was a no man's land between east and west. but today the maui park is a major tourist attraction. each time you see, i love to dance in the park for me, it's life for me. it's like, i love the atmosphere of the place, the music, the people, everything about it. i really hope, you know, you have a, it's kind of really open and you know, but there's no boundary kind of place if you want to do what you would think. and if you want to be a hero of people shoulder. ok. i like it very much, it's freedom and that's very good. especially in the early
1:42 pm
to the wall was built in 1961. you're going to begin ahead of us and made a conscious decision to stay me east. they were critical of the communist system, but they believed in change from within i think the moment we were walled in we did feel like we were trapped in the but we did what we could to broaden our horizons and also to show our children that it's in our freedom that matters the most and that with that inner freedom, you could do all sorts of things and achieve all sorts of things. so it's a given and this that children that wasn't always easy to accept is france and antonia's mother. she finished high school just before the
1:43 pm
wall fell. she'd always railed against the restrictions of life in east germany. is this that's basically stimulus. i felt like it wasn't real life or that we were somehow frozen in time and the world beyond was turning without you. that was the dominant feeling for me. my. i longed for openness discussion. all i can say is i didn't find any of that there. and that was what i yearned for and that, and you knew that there was this other world i imagined the west was something completely different. we often went to the church of reconciliation and looked across the lawn. just think we could actually see this other world. you could see the double decker buses and the people in the street living lives that somehow seemed more colorful, more vibrant, more full of life. it sounds ridiculous, but when i was 12,
1:44 pm
i stood in front of the mirror and swore to myself that i wouldn't stay that i would lean out and does it make sure enough. in august, 1909, falcon had that land fled to west germany via hungary and austria. like tens of thousands of others that summer. no one family included, have the slightest suspicion that the wall would fold just 3 months later. ish from either of those. i didn't know when i would ever see my daughter again. this is the she wouldn't have been allowed back and we weren't allowed to go to the west. it was just awful for us better. what we never expected. she'd be back for christmas the same year, but she was there you go by with talking oh oh,
1:45 pm
come on. you must go for a copy of the book i need. i'll feel i know how it would go ahead to plant and her family live in a village outside. but when there's almost always a full house and politics is a favorite topic at the dinner table. the family is alarmed by the rise of the far right in eastern germany. i keep telling people, go and vote. otherwise nothing will ever change that. and almost 25 percent of the people in the state of brandenburg support the right wing populist party, the a.f.d.c. with their political activism. they hit upon a keeping reggae in a spirit alive even today. she's remembered fondly in eastern germany. read widely,
1:46 pm
followed him for fun. i've just been so amazed in the last few days by how much people remember grandma when you were traveling? yes, she's like a superhero. they really idolize her. to be honest, i was almost shocked. with the excavator operator said that meeting with regina hildebrand's grandchildren was like hitting the jackpot out of yeah, there's a lot to live up to nowadays, many in eastern germany feel there's no one on the political stage who represents that interests as asked most from our club this admission for a start, it wasn't a reunification team. one system simply a closed itself on the other. as i'm west, germany didn't bother to even consider if there was anything in the east german
1:47 pm
system that could have been useful to fix the problem. boosted cohesion. they didn't think what aspects of east germany should we take a closer look at. maybe keep they only cared about things that related directly to a market economy. and that was a mistake. but how her head of land often spoke to her children about the fall of the wall about the joy every unification. and the mistakes made in itself to mass ratio to maybe if we adjusted downward. keep going. there's the man in the moon.
1:48 pm
