supplies and hospital staff the. german chancellor angela merkel press is china on human rights and expresses concern to the beijing street friends of the week a muslim minority and pro-democracy activists. are here to mohamed welcome to the program joe biden has outlined what he calls his blueprint to build america in his 1st speech to congress as u.s. president he addressed his plans to reduce poverty and invest in infrastructure to create more jobs he also stressed the need for the u.s. to reassert its place in the world both economically and politically we all know life cannot destroy our america we never ever ever stay down

americans always get out. today that's what we're doing america's rising to do choosing hope over fear truth over lies and light over darkness after 100 days and rescue. america is ready for takeoff in my view we're working again dreamy again discovered. and leading the world again we have shown each other around the world that there is no quit in america non. of the sun has joins us from washington d.c. so all of the what did you make of the speech well certainly a speech of reassurance and all fold and what we really saw there was the joe biden has an agenda and that is strengthening the middle class because this is exactly where his voters are as a whole tonight he spoke about unveiling a massive family 8 plan worth $1.00 trillion us dollars to help those working and

middle class families and that is largely funded by tax hikes on wealthy americans so really a sweeping redistribution from the rich to the middle class also he wants to fight climate change and in doing so create new jobs but then we also heard a lot of america 1st. so the policy under donald trump that he'll of course joe biden calls by american but that in an off itself is the same kind of protectionism that we have already seen in the policies of joe biden's producer now to realize his economic plans biden has a tough task ahead when it comes to winning of it the republican party do you think his speech was able to do that. that is highly unlikely the case if you took a closer look to the ranks there in the house of representatives republicans were not applauding simply what biden is laying out there is contrast in republican

values so raising taxes for the wealthy if you think back a couple years ago when donald trump took office he copped taxes for the wealthy joe biden now raising the then spending another almost 2 trillion u.s. dollars. certainly not nothing the republicans can support they want a rather slimmer state so they're heavily opposing these measures that we've heard here tonight as they are largely built on debt and turning to focus to the international stage he said the united states is in competition to win the 21st century but he also said the u.s. needed to work closely with its allies what was that each about. as a what he was trying to paint here is a picture of a struggle of political systems the question of will democracy prevail and certainly looking at china and russia what he's trying to do here is winning western allies over for

a tougher stance on russia and china if you look at europe for instance there is this ongoing dispute between the u.s. and germany over the north stream to pipeline a gas pipeline from russia to germany also a dispute on the economic relations between germany and china germany is certainly not interested in changing any of that because the german position here is that germany is benefiting from its exports u.s. is clearly not doing so because of its trade deficit so we're seeing here some very different interests in different positions when it comes to the future of foreign policy that is one of the sort of speaking to us from washington d.c. thank you all of the. well let's take a look at other stories making headlines around the world former new york mayor rudy giuliani's home and office in manhattan have been weighted by u.s. federal agents it's a major escalation of an investigation into his business dealings the lawyer of former presidents donald trump has been under scrutiny for several years over his

it was nice for him i didn't know much about him it was just that he could play the violin really well. i know he lived it his grandmother's doesn't agree with most don't want to. and i also found out he was in an orphanage some time before that isn't for him other than from the vice an oscar he's in this. village made a completely normal impression there didn't seem to be anything unusual to begin with i never thought there was something different about him.

it was to shorten the said fata i knew his father was a vietnamese soldier in the french army of the rhine that i didn't know but i just accepted it it was what it was you know he was an illegitimate child there were a few of those ups i knew from they always said he suspected something of course because sterilizations were always carried out under the semblance of some sort of examination and one would know who the nominee. doodle bleak but he never said a thing about it. as you need as long as i knew him i didn't know. if you can do was the saddest nishabd i can still see him beaming with joy and holding his call up papers i'm being drafted for you and he did it if you're more you can see from the pictures that he dead but only for 14 days after he finished training them which he was dad. not i was going to france and talk about diet thought.

was all over for kaiser god and fatherland after 4 years of slaughter 10000000 soldiers lay dead on the battlefields and as many people died on the home front as well both in europe and beyond. the moment of the victors had come on june 28th 1919 the allies received a small delegation of diplomats from germany to represent. thieves of the german government signed an accord under protest because it was largely imposed without any input from men. in particular the french government led by george claim also remains staunchly unbending never again was germany to pose a threat to france. the treaty put all german territory west of the rhine under allied occupation for 15 years. allied forces moved into the area

stretching along the river from the city of calle to cologne in january 920 of the 100000 troops in the french army of occupation more than a 5th of came from the french colonies algeria morocco tunisia senegal madagascar or vietnam german troops had encountered them on the battlefields in the east and in the trenches the very. horror stories about the african soldiers savagery made the rounds on the home front as a result the germans were awaiting their french occupiers with no little trepidation jury in these days many germans saw people of color for the 1st time in their lives you know let me think if you were you doing well on the open until just before world war one there was no question and it going black soldiers in europe then an officer name shall march on wrote a successful and controversial book in 1010 called force the black force where he said the senegalese rifleman are good soldiers they've proven themselves in africa

why should we deploy them in a war in france it was clear that france was afraid of germany in 1914 germany was a stable rich powerful country with a population of 65000000 and there were only 39000000 french to stand against them it was a foregone conclusion that the relationship was completely lopsided and that france was doomed to defeat militarily so they needed to find soldiers and sharman job propose that they rely on an immense reservoir of african troops moved. it is one of the got. some implication of the propaganda during the war they were already publishing propaganda warning that the french colonial troops would cut off the ears of german soldiers and wear them on strings around their necks that they were barbaric and acted like animals and were being ordered to do so by their french to period. stories like this and all these fears were already being whipped up anyway now their focus was simply redirected onto these colonial troops in the

rhineland island and then of course there was also deep seated racism that wasn't just confined to the germans the idea that troops from north africa senegal and vietnam were now in a position of power over the german civilian population well that was a reversal of the established colonial hierarchy wasn't it that these colonial subjects could now exercise authority over europeans who had once been colonial masters themselves but was perceived as extremely humiliation. in the. b.m.t. cation of kinds of vilhelm the 2nd whom the conservatives revered as a symbol of national identification on november 9th 1900 merely compounded the sense of crisis. philip chinaman one of the social democrats leaders rushed to declare the end of the old order. by going up and

down. but the fledgling republic was in danger from. the outset because what was old and rotten hadn't really disappeared in fact quite the contrary the guardians of the old order became the fellows of the new democracy they rejected the idea of the weimar republic and above all repudiated what they called the shameful versailles treaty and those who in their opinion were responsible for it the german social democrats who signed it. in march 19th 20 general votto fun

loot fits led the army in an unsuccessful push to overthrow the democratically elected government of chancellor gustav by our. mayor in response french troops and then occupied cities east of the rhine as well moroccan regiments marched into frankfurt a mine on april 6th 1920 there were clashes with demonstrators and the moroccans opened fire killing 9 people and wounding many more the incident in frankfurt was exploited as a welcome opportunity to ignite the smoldering german rage against the french occupiers. from spring 1920 on woods nationalists revulsion and racists used every available means of propaganda and disinform ation to orchestrate a campaign against what they dubbed black shame none of the slogans or images used back then could be called innocent the toxins viewed in this campaign continue to

poison our lives until today all delusions in new guises that eat into the heart of our society it started out with fake news reports like this. at around 4 pm on sunday december 7th 1900 a colored french colonial soldier attacked 16 year old factory worker gatorade am from ice collision as she was crossing the dylan ois collision railway line on her way home. the soldier grabbed the frightened girl by her hands threw her in the ditch and held her mouth closed to prevent her screaming. when i thought back he bit my finger and wouldn't let go. he peered into the flesh right down to the bone sucking the blood out so that it ran down from his mouth. in the spring of 1920 it seemed as if overnight an army of african rapists and

paedophiles had set out to systematically divine will and dishonor german women girls and boys. the outrage over the allegedly barbaric conduct of the french colonial troops on german soil boiled over into bizarre and festering images. and we're here we can see an african with deformed lips who almost looks like an ape beneath a french helmet and when you turn the coin over you see a german woman found to a martyr stake at the show and that is the erect penis of a black man topped by a military helmet these were the sanctions obsessions of the black shame campaign this piece is a typical example of black training propaganda which was very wide ranging we can't imagine how powerful this propaganda was today but enormous amounts of money were invested in it brochures were translated from english dark swedish french spanish and american english and so on there were posed illustrations posters medallions

and. even made films about it the few he saw were to lose your citizenship. then via videophone from. the company when we consider the role of the. women and women's bodies in this campaign and it's important to understand that most women who are not believe victims of men black men who were colonial soldiers are but the promoters of the campaign in many cases men consciously stylised them into victims beyond vice white european men needed this spawn they were the authors of brochures the writers of novellas and books who subjected women to their own male fantasies

a violent brutal best of all sexual compulsion i knew my decision 6 will intervene but that's none of those weren't the lusts of these black soldiers they were the violent sexual fantasies of the men who made up these stories one minute. because she was. of course some colonial soldiers did carry out isolated attacks but these assaults had nothing to do with skin color nor were they a problem confined to the colonial troops but it was depicted that way others would honestly. many europeans already had the concept of black shame in their minds before the 1st colonial soldiers ever set foot in the rhineland the idea that black men are a threat to white women that their sex drive a stronger that they're unable to control their desires and that they come from primitive races those ideas were already widespread.

the protests against the presence of colonial troops on german soil didn't just come from nationalistic or racist circles. high ranking politicians supported that opposition to your can as sniffed fresh green bytecode poor boatwright in concert decent off good song and. busy trying conquering funes eclipse cuts fabrication. i'm going to focus on boisterous less skunk. under the smear justify vendôme far bigger talk media struck. her focus on from the horn guys didn't vote for him but gotten there i know linda and her own father on the fire let's on the exact so all pairs rights he believes it's your least. our noite indeed very often. prove a human rights procedures. as were decompile your car yeah you can view this campaign

from 2 perspectives one is a propaganda campaign directed by the state that is the attempt to overturn the conditions of the versailles peace and that influenced the setting of further post-war conditions. it was aiming to reestablish international solidarity with germany germany wasn't in the league of nations at this point that on the one hand would be a classical political historical standpoint but on the other hand the question is why this campaign spread and appealed to so many other people declare war time to see it was viewed as a failure of the military leadership and the monarchy but also a failure of german soldiers although this was not recognized openly these are the black shame campaign didn't want to admit that campania. done so the blame for the defeat was projected onto the participation of african soldiers and it's a classic case of transmission if you wish or in

a class or tag on sit on. the leaders of the campaign wanted to publicize reports of mass rapes of german women internationally a few days after the clashes in frankfurt in april 1920 an article appeared in england denouncing the presence of french colonial troops on german soil. the author of the article was the english journalist and labor member of parliament edmund deane mirelle. morrell felt were tight in d.c. . in his article more condemning the french occupation on the rhine and its use of black troops. which he described as a horror a terrible situation what's your he was already in contact with german officials and was getting information from that office. went ahead in 4 months or.

as far as influencing british public opinion about the occupation of the rhineland using black soldiers is concerned a number of english politicians and journalists staying in berlin in the last few months have been granted access to a large number of documents pertaining to the conduct of black troops in the occupied region morale has used the material he was given to publish a brochure for the horror on the rhine which he has written to great effect it was quite apparent that the horror on the rhine awoke feelings of physical and psychological discussed and everyone. does also i think i'm as into the foreign ministry was always behind the scenes inviting visitors from abroad to come to the rhine land and then go back home and report how horrible things were there before by the leading us dean. among the

foreigners the german government recruited to support the campaign was ray beverage from the united states beverage was raised in the white american upper class she became one of the most aggressive agitator is spreading the tales of so-called black shame. have the men leading our countries lost their minds they are blind be throwing our white race our white women into the abyss i appeal to all of the world's women i peel to all men still worthy of the name. help white women white girls and white boys are in danger every day and every hour and this threat will continue as long as a black man is entitled to exercise power over whites in america they hanged each and every black man who molests a white woman these are these racist ideas were widely shared in common as they came from the centers of international and european science and research people went to conferences swedish german italian french and british scientists met at

congresses to discuss these issues and the european population were aware of the importance of being white then stain white vice design vice to. yet the nationalists revulsion and racists were unable to prevent one thing after the war people along the rhine found love the men came from africa the philippines and vietnam the women from germany.

between 19191928 several 100 children fathered by colonial soldiers were born to german women in the german regions along the rhine the precise number isn't known but it could be anywhere from 402-8000 these children and their mothers and their families were socially ostracized from the start friedrich a senior civil servant wrote. unfortunately some of the female population did not know how to defend their morals or uphold the honor of their position and national dignity they gauge didn't relations with occupation troops in a disgusting way this frightened eyes ation was of course not without consequences in many cases. of position france rosenberry go went even further. should we silently tolerate this fact that instead of the light songs of white beautiful well bred intellectually superior lively young germans on the banks

of the rhine we will hear the calling sound of dapple grey low browed wide nosed course half animal syphilitic mulatto. someone fun luck to you or when they speak of a lad ization there presuming that a lot of women from the rhine region had voluntary relations with colonial troops and also bore them children and many a nationalist propagandists campaigned against what they called white shame of whites so that's a very massage and mystic anti woman version that says it's bad enough that the french have brought these black soldiers into the country now we've also got all these german women with no sense of honor or patriotism lining up on mass to have sexual relations with these colonial soldiers. the excludes you all the exclusion touched on there of the white woman from the collective of the

germination he is of course racist. he forced into the concept is that the german population of the body of the people regenerates from within and that anyone involved in racial the phylum and must be excluded from the body of the german. is not a list of any there is naturally also an assumption that if someone has a darker skin color. he or she can't really be german there you see a deep rooted belief that being german means having a specific ethnic identity. in entity it so your german if your skin's the right color but what about those who have african or asian fathers but at 1st sight don't look like it for example village barred from. it the impression of him being alien or different and that was basically purely abstractly while he spoke of broad report and dialect so that really like i said

nobody annoys kitchen could clearly work out his origins from his speech. his language defined him as a long established local and that was always what mattered for us well that's rough it was. in 1920 children used to sing who's afraid of the black man and answer themselves nobody. but it wasn't the same for adults. these are of what item can go born bad indeed in the afro german children born from these relationships or in a tough position and the f.n. know they were a reminder of their defeat in the war. on the present song smile they were a reminder of the french occupation forces. and they reminded people of the inability of german men to protect their women from

a legit rapists highest. that means that the authorities already had these children in their sights by the mid 1925 they were perceived as a potential threat i know portents here. bargain on one local politician had a radical solution the maturing of half breeds who will soon be capable of reproducing is causing great concern in the fonts so i'm asking you to listen to what's being said. the rhine ministry and the national health authorities to see if we can do something to ensure the race remains pure from colored blood in the occupied territories the privy council a doctor due to me has indicated that the sterilization of mixed race children could be carried out in an entirely painless procedure it is clear that such a procedure would be inadmissible under current law doesn't conflict and that side of this conflict goes back to before world war one the question was what is the

status of legitimate so called mixed race children in the colonies did they inherit their father's german citizenship the racists naturally didn't want that initially this approach didn't take hold but i think there was a point when the nazis broke through for example and very clearly made citizenship a matter of race for the so called rhineland bastards it had a huge impact on their lives and physical safety on field a couple of tide you have to see the modern weimar republic and an obsession with race going hand in hand at the same time josephine baker was well going perlin audiences with her banana dance in 1926 others in germany were worrying about the purity of the german race some of thora teams went as far as to consider forcibly sterilizing the children of the occupation. only a few biographies of occupation children are still known today one of them is about

greg or bards who was born at the edge of the eiffel region in 1921 greg was father was an american infantryman stationed in the rhineland not a french colonial soldier he came from the philippines. grego barnes was the son of my eldest aren't who was born in 1906 at the time i can . when was born my aunt who was 14 years old if you think about it or even today that would be rather scandalous of us out on but imagine what it was like in 1921 in a staunch catholic society where religion was dominant then it was far more shocking . here is. this is catarina kyra. this is a miracle i am my mother. she was born in 1914 and i think was about 11 or 12 in

this picture and that. those were the 3 sisters that's my grandfather yosef. and here we have cut out or you know my grandmother and this is great go on here ok . because like i said it was a scandal normally it would have meant total ostracism from the village community but it never came to that. because of my grandfather and our family. my grandfather was one of the founders of the social democratic party here. and he was a really strong individual. he didn't usually do other people's bidding but also played a role in the village eventually accepting him. then in 1927 catarina kyra married paperbarks a man shown here. she made sure she got away from my grandfather the minute she

legally became an adult it seems the 2 really didn't get a lot of income the talk to mr turton. the family and village community protected greg or as long as they could but they couldn't shield him from all injustice and persecution greg also vive the war and was accepted in the community as an adult but he would never have his own family. adult hitler had personally made sure of that when the national socialist seized power a sea change in german demographic policy brought people like greg or buds under increased scrutiny the nazis relied on concepts of racial anthropology that had emerged a long time before to support their position the father of racial anthropology in germany was the zoologist and eugenicist and heckle. indeed there's no incident you

know 100 skips the end of the 19th century when many publications were looking into the exotic and the wild people visited museum collections to see glass cases full of skeletons and skulls and asked themselves for are we all really one unified human race how do we differ from each other they had already started cataloguing these exhibits and now they began to categorise them in the 1st phillip genetic trees that haykel introduced in the 860000 showed an established categorization and hierarchy of better worse higher or lower that in base. who media in the smarts and that became clear when tabular overviews of categories based on data about skulls hair color and structure and eye color were published for the 1st time they noted the course hair of the papuans or hottentot and rank them at the lower end of the table. then came the mediterranean and the

europeans and then later on the caucasians on top went in meditative on and in spirit and then co cos you know understood the kaiser vilhelm institute for in 3 polje was founded in berlin darlin in 1927 during the nazi period it became the center for research in eugenics and racial hygiene its director was anthropologist oig and fisher fisher also became the intellectual father of the draft law that the national socialists aim to use to implement their racial hygiene policies it laid down that anyone posing a threat to the help of the german race should not be permitted to reproduce this is the sense of you don't know who kisses for this was called the law for the prevention of offspring.
