a factor, i don't think we can expect anything like that from biden though i think he will continue giving unconditional support israel until he leaves will have to leave it there. so we were out of time during the comparison. thank you so much. that's her time by the i want to tell you something. it's a bear with me. my hands raising awareness of h i, b and on. and we're still in test shane silence. and we need to break out of it. i want to tell you something how to tennessee chris starts november 29th on dw, the berlin wall. it divided the city for almost 30 years,
8:16 pm
a symbol of the cold war. it's separated families and destroyed lives. anyone who tried to breach it risk death. the secretly plan construction of the wall and it's sudden fall all preceded by. something like a countdown size does not include in numerous personal accounts, diary entries and letters showed the true extent of the division of germany after the war. a big commemorative year has reached its skirt and wants to meet 50 years since the beginning of the war. 40 years of the federal republic and the ged are the $200.00 anniversary of the french revolution. i am against revolutions, so much is destroyed in those years. of of people my own we have my diary to rent and raving about this legitimate states and its people,
8:17 pm
servants i want to travel the world is so big really guess on this. this one's what right does the government have to imprison an entire people of the berlin wall was soon a thing of the past. just a few days after its fall in november 1989, the 155 kilometers of once ominous reinforced concrete. became a corey for souvenir hunters, coughing, coughing, the memo of a vague via each nation. yeah, it was,
8:18 pm
it really involved was the symbolic expression of the cold war to the rest of the world. and it stood for the confrontation between the major powers all ends. to a certain extent, it represented the divided europe and ends or found. and in this respect, of course, the fall of the walls was also symbolic and provided images that people could identify with the money where everyone shouted, hurrah, went to levels, operate on the morning of november 9th, 1989. hardly any one could have imagined that the berlin wall would soon be history the exactly one year before the fall of the wall. the cold war was still firmly anchored in the minds of people on both sides. the berlin wall was part of every day life west berliners were used to leaving the city via transit routes through the g d r. when you're going to the west had implicitly
8:19 pm
accepted the g d r and with it, the berlin wall, the topic of a re, unified germany was not really on the agenda for politicians on either side for the veto finding on file that was often talk of even if occasion and some of these features, so can you mind nobody's seriously believed in health nations and it wasn't anywhere and cited as i see people thoughts the g d or was very stable. see that so can obviously speaking, it was relatively for the use of a, there was no sign of anything changing this function. so in the late 19 eighties, the berlin wall was literally insurmountable. the large gray bulwark consisted of several barriers and alarm systems. despite this escape attempts were made time and again, usually with fatal results, the westwood reacts with angry headlines and stoppages of financial loans to the east. in the ged our plans were in the works for
8:20 pm
a high tech update sensor technology at electronics to replace nervous border guards. they were obviously, i mean, to take out the human fact. nobody would need to observe no view. you would have this electronic world would the would react as if the house are being invaded by bug less. but of course it's about people try to escape the house not to break into it. even at the end of the 1980s, east. germany's a cd regime wanted to maintain the facade at the g d. r success. the small country tried to convince the west that it was one of the world's leading industrial nations. this is done get. the problem was that they themselves believed that they understood the people that they, themselves were among the people that they were loved and respected by the people. that was the problem like us, it's designed to try it. let's put it in. they genuinely believed that they had built the best of all systems which even if it wasn't perfect,
8:21 pm
what's the only system that could possibly obtain perfection. and i think that was very much how they felt, but the system was unresponsive and i'm stuck the. ready photographer did my reading on, documented the feeling of a nursing in his country for him life and the g. d. r. health, no prospects. in january, 1986, he and his family applied for permanent resettlement in the federal republic of germany. the under can i start a new diary stuffed some cold this morning. i talked to 2.2 tons, which we are entitled to annually from the street into the garden. and then shuffles into the seller. and the one hand, the coveted heating material that's very welcome to on videos or i'm expecting your exits permits any day. now, joining us to do this. unplug krista,
8:22 pm
talk to each wide open field, and i wasn't the 1st person to make this request or, and that was one of many, many, many. and it was also clear to me that i was now and i may have to ged or does, and that's, that's a thought process and motion for me on cassette the basically, we are living in total. i can a be a leave. nothing that's moving here. we have a fake, say, scott, it's since 1975, it had been legal to leave the g d r for the west. that was the year erica shantika agreed to the final act of the helsinki accords on security and cooperation. granting his citizens the right to freedom of movement. the tired eyes isn't one of us on the door to the massage of a peak, the type items which at least most on him for, you know, for those of us tend to go on to see jobs feeling awesome for the date that patient
8:23 pm
isn't in stock. one can see in the 1980s that the number of applications to leave the country massively increased. and of course more applications to leave were approved me for the c d regime. this was a way of releasing press. sure to a certain extent, destiny, and give you somebody to look up to last. the border crossing at berlin's state extra station became one of the most famous. it was known as the palace of tears because it was here that judy or citizens leaving the country had to bid farewell to loved ones. applicants to leave often waited years for decision and were subjected to mass of harassment. in the meantime, the indians to go yeah, in the 1980s it became increasingly clear where the difficulties of the ged are legs, how the combination of restriction and surveillance combined with economic difficulties which are created a kind of tipping point. where more and more people said no, we're not going along with the night. you must investigation. but the real threat
8:24 pm
to the ged cars power structure did not come from within. it came from aust out in 1985 michelle gorbachev was elected general secretary of the communist party of the soviet union. he was determined to reform the communist system, the guarantor per se, in, in, in the soviet union ended with the election of gorbachev. who was from a much younger generation and bringing change to a system that knew it had to change his guiding principles work last noticed, which translates as open ended perestroika for restructuring. gorbachev wanted far reaching social reform. this meant admitting that the communist way as it stood, was outdated. as moscow was a little brother, the g d. r felt betrayed and reacted with panic. when the, the old god within the city realized what was going on in russia, for instance,
8:25 pm
like band russian publications, from being available inside east germany because they were afraid of infection spreading this as political change to cold soviet magazines published in german and the g. d. r were strictly censored. the journalist ingrid e bear from forest in brandenburg was an avid reader of the soviet magazine. sputnik published by the international russian news agency, university. sputnik brought a touch of glass most to the g. d. r. until november 18th, 1988. the sputnik husband, band, lending from the soviet union means learning how to win, or maybe know taft or old came to visit. you wanted to know what i thought about spot think being banned. and what i thought about the political situation. i found that very strange and try to steer our conversation to other topics
8:26 pm
a the brandenburg gate, a unique symbol of the division of germany and the city of berlin with gorbachev at the helm in moscow. western powers hopes that the time was right to address the question of the war. but when us president ronald reagan deliberately chose the brandenburg gate as the backdrop for a speech to moscow on june 12th 1987. not all politicians in the west were pleased . the general secretary gorbachev. did you see peach if you seek prosperity for the show via union in eastern europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. mister gorbachev. open this gates
8:27 pm
visited here that you cared. don't this in his speech. it was under. it was frank, some people at the time. so it was night, which it probably in a sense was he came out like, like the little boy who sees of the emperor has no clothes. he came out and said one is all this. why, why do we still have this? that was tired of what has brought to me is that the majority of west german society had long since turned his attention to powers, london, new york, or wherever away from the east, which was no longer on the political agenda. for 3 months after reagan speech at the brandon for a gate s e d leader, s h, tony car, travel to west germany for a state visit. official protocol provided for a motorcycle es cord with only 7 instead of the usual 15 bikes. the honor guard
8:28 pm
for hanukkah was also somewhat scale down from the standard as this came from don was so it already started there is hanukkah greeted in bond like a head of state of a sovereign state and according to which protocol that is, that was a lot of discussion about that and it was only half a state visit to it was set of visually it was a working visit for because the federal republic had not officially recognized the g d r as a state. and so the basic lawsuit and the way you want that submission is shaneka ignored the subtleties of protocol and use to visit the showcases state sovereignty . chancellor helmut kohl remained diplomatic and did not mention the wall. yeah, the machines in 22 tide. i'm going to live in often vega secret schaeffer syndic on once before i had 1989,
8:29 pm
a young east berlin or put the claims of the cd regime to the test. 20 year old chris guest. roy took a risk and climbed over the wall. 10 bullets were fired at him. he became the walls last victim. d d, the ged are always wanted to be perceived as a sovereign, great state in the world community and such terrible incidents. so she didn't fit that image coldness of the generated bad press. and so at some point, the c d leadership said this has to stop. it's giving us such a bad press. we won't get any more loans to the, to me. uh, shortly after, on april 28th 1989, the then minister for state security, their face milka revoked the order to shoot at the wall. i want to
8:30 pm
say something, comrades that you're going to shoot, you said you have to do with such a way that the person in question doesn't get away. that comment stays with us. yes . that's the thing is what's the point of firing 70 shot? and then he runs over to the other side and they launch a huge campaign, and the other one times were more revolutionary. it wasn't so bad, but now there are new times inside. we have to take trucks into account. even then the wall seemed a terminal in the spring of 1989, the number of applications for x it permits continue to rise each month there was still no freedom of travel. the permits were seen more as an arbitrary, active mercy. in april 1989 ingrid ebert and her husband applied for a permit to visit the federal republic of germany. wilford's mother will be 70 years old and may she invited us to vote spoke. we submitted an application and had to go to the district police office. what followed was like an interrogation. what
8:31 pm
do you do in your free time? do you collect coins? what are the children's day when you travel with you to fully answered every question, just kept our heads down. on 1220, you needed a specific recently, if you needed a specific invitations if it was for a limited period of time. but you had to apply to the authorities to be able to make this trip. and the application could be refused for any reason. the fate of the berlin wall was decided hundreds of kilometers away in the spring of 1989. on may 2nd hung gary and general announced that the press conference that the border fortifications between hungry and austria would be dismantled, with spectacular consequences. one to have each by means that i thought something is really changing here. if the ged or is no longer at the joints of prison, it always was a now they're being forced to let people out. so if he calls that's the writer,
8:32 pm
walter can palsky had spent 6 years in prison before he was able to fleece of the west. in 1956. at the beginning of may 1989, he followed the events and hungry with astonishment. pictures from hungry web border fences are being dismantled. 6 photographers snapped the hungarian soldiers as they cut the barbed wire without any emotion. they are the same soldiers who normally guard the porter. they say the news of the hole in the iron curtain. it was censored in the g d r. instead in g d r, news broadcasts, se the leadership basked in the glow of made a celebrations. deep mile ream on suspected it would be his last may day. in the g d r. he took his camera along to photograph everything
8:33 pm
was good to have experienced once again and concentrated form, devotion, or submission of an embarrassingly broad mass of the ged or population towards the router's dismayed is clear from me again and again. nothing will change socially in this country for a very long time to come to wash and vacuum was already gone during those 4 years of waiting for the exit permits and on the inside bill, i was no longer a citizen of this country. in the meantime angered ebert and her husband had obtained a travel permit to visit his mother and wolf spurred in west germany. they arrived there on the afternoon of may 7th, the very day the ged, or had scheduled an election. the we sit in front of the tv in the evening. we look forward to the election results and place bets, then the results, 98.85 percent of all valid votes in favor of proven togetherness,
8:34 pm
strong socialism, and secure peace. this feeling who here the local elections in the ged, or were known as going to fold a cynical allusion to the yes only voting system. but in may 1989 evidence of a cd. electoral fraud came to light for the 1st time. at least 7 percent of voters had courageously voted. no. distrust of those in power was everywhere. how much principality does visor they didn't question the electoral system and principles from the it said, my god, what so bad of 10 or 15 percent? maybe 20 percent of the population is against it. that gives you would still have a huge approval rating energies and switch to the house. the protests here and there with very few people were involved in such actions as a number of friends, have great respect for those who openly expressed their displeasure. there was
8:35 pm
nothing in our mailbox again, psychologically we're in a pretty desperate situation at the moment. would you say enough by visa? let's divide it then it can still see it come right from the c d standing in front of our house during the last election. that's why we would like to ask you to go to the polio that's going to be explained by us. we've been waiting for over 3 years to leave the country just the one that still hasn't been approved. i said to his niece, of course, we're not going to your election. well, then he left it to you. got com for more than 7000 kilometers away from berlin. tensions were escalating. at the beginning of june, they erupt in the most brutal mass murder of dissidents under a communist regime. in a long time, chinese troops opened fire on students demonstrating on t m and square in beijing, 4 days after the bloody correct down the claims thousands of lives. the ged are
8:36 pm
finally issued a statement supporting the chinese government, the ultimate then that folks come much to invest the deputies of the people's chamber. to note that in the current situation, thoughts the political solution to internal problems of these persistently sought by the party and the state and leadership of the people's republic of china. and for it has been prevented bluetooth as a result of a violent and bloody riots of antique constitutional element in the vault. and is the reaction to pull up your own in east germany to a gentleman. square massacre was indeed in retrospect a strange one. i think there were people inside the regime, particularly in the military and secret police operations, who would have been capable of that kind of thing. and it could look like a stretch at this point, the cd regime was still trying to show strength. but the opposition in east germany
8:37 pm
was becoming increasingly courageous. to alleviate the pressure, the ged are issued more and more exit permit. and the number of new applications grew by leaps and bounds from week to week. the after years of deliberation, the who's now also want to leave the g to your just not yet clear how they will do it. the choices between applying to leave or clean the exit viruses spreading like an epidemic among the people of the ged or it's beginning to border on hysteria and certainly not enough. the hungry, more and more east germans gathered at the border with austria more than $20000.00, had already made it across the border. according to reports on gary and border officials sent back any east german citizen. they caught,
8:38 pm
as they were obliged to do what the successful attempts inspired many, the ged or regime reacted with stubborn silence the hundreds leave the country every day. the scary thing is the silence in on use both costs own as well with weld on use paper pages of sort of success stories. how long can we continue to sweep fill, send of the rug? well, the eyes that those in power, where of that is the most of us, of mazda and restrict hospitalizations on mob chicago to clean away you will get your lesson about what happened that summer has always had this so called democratic central ism, which the communist had devised on their drawing boards of power now crumbled at their feet on the golf, i should be a current of 20 go with seriously ill. he was unable to act and his assistants were
8:39 pm
unable, politically, unable or unwilling, and also not courageous enough to make decisions useful meant chide on so clever. on august 19th, over $500.00 east germans fled on mass across the hon. gary and border forces and hungry had announced a symbolic cross border picnic together with the pan european union. the austrian hung gary and border was opened for 3 hours, but decision with far reaching consequences. these impressive images travelled around the world. the news from hungry encouraged people in the g. d r. on september 4th 1989. the 1st of the monday demonstrations took place in leipzig at the time, live sick photographer martin nauman was out in about in the city center with his camera. he wasn't on assignments, but he had a hunch. he was seeing history in the making
8:40 pm
the mass prayers for peace and the saint nicholas church. after leaving the church, the participants carried banners demanding freedom of travel and calling for the change in society. state security tore down the banners a few days later in hungry the cage door. finally opened the hun, gary and government decided to allow g d. r. citizens to leave for the west without consulting moscow or east berlin. first, my stomach pains or signal, i can't go on like this. i want to get out. i want to close my eyes and ears. a scream shot to toll out or even leave. stamped again. is it better to sleep? escaped the only way the people suddenly realized that, okay, the wall might be from edible, stale,
8:41 pm
and people must still being shot, trying to get over it. so you don't why, why, why? i'm try and go over the wall. why even bother to have faith papers? why bother to put in an official uh, application to leave the country when you can just kinda hungry and move across the border into a wall street from the go wherever you want. and the well, the deep mile re months departure to the west was finally approved in september. after the long wait, he sold his house and with his family left everything behind. today we weren't able to make the last official under unofficial trips, said good bye to my mother in the afternoon. tomorrow we crossed the in their german border across the berlin wall, saying good bye to run star to our house is very, very difficult for me. we've done shouldn't be kind so he thought that the border guard stood there. there was these seats. that's the word said left before we
8:42 pm
settler. i've never heard the term before. this of this, they believed it would all go on forever. and of course, that's what seemed really i think the police are in addition to the hon, gary and border, it was now possible to officially apply for asylum at west german embassies in warsaw, budapest, or pro. soon these embassies were completely full at the embassy in prague. thousands began camping out in the garden and hallways. unlike the hungarian government, the czech republic was reluctant to make decisions that went against the gd, our west, german foreign minister, hon dietrich, ensure negotiated the solution. the 6, 14 am eyes and mouth sticky from crying. during the night the germans in prague were
8:43 pm
allowed to leave its estimated. there were 7000 of them. it was moving. tears came automatically of everything is in a state of flux. what was unthinkable just a few months ago is now happening. so i clouds literally it was clear that it wouldn't go on like this boy to the ged or didn't wanted to go on like this either . because the latest figures on tv every evening were bought for the ged or, and always caused internal unrest. and you won't have to let them leave the phone. but then came up with a completely crazy idea of rooting the trains back via dressed. and so via the ged or yeah it's which was of course of search whose opposite. what on the night of october 1st, several trains that had been locked shot travel to hole in west germany just over the check border. but the ged are ordered such trains to be re routed through east germany so that the regime could officially grant exit permits. travelers,
8:44 pm
identity cards were confiscated on groups. some people tried to jump on the trains as they passed by. 4 days later, another train traveling from the prague embassy passed through the g d r. and the situation escalated. police cordoned off, dressed in central station to prevent people from forwarding. the train waiting there, but the crowd stormed the station. things were changing quickly. that very night. cd district, the leader hans mode row asked for lynn for help. sushi always do move in full in bed. do you? this was happening at the moment when the army general in berlin was having a dress rehearsal for the parade. on october 17th, i didn't see you know the solution to the scene, so they couldn't understand that. we were worried, i argued with auto on to and said auto let's the trains go, divides us and through fed. and you said the topic decided we're both responsible
8:45 pm
for avoiding a catastrophe here. neither of us can decide anything anymore and try it and come to the advisor and they see how soon people were throwing stones and dressed, and the police used water cannons, but were unable to end the riots by force. meanwhile, in berlin, they were preparing for the gd, or is big birthday party, for the use of the ged, tens of thousands of left the country in the last weeks and months, tens of thousands take to the streets. monday off to monday that hanukkah held a youth much as a powerful declaration last night's towards kit procession in berlin was just self delusion. corporate job had now arrived in east berlin for the celebrations. in the summer, the soviet reformer had over ruled the impression of doctrine of 1969, which permitted the use of the military. if socialism was threatened, all warsaw pact countries were now free to go their own way.
8:46 pm
yeah, the way up are supposed to start a couple of city high. you need to get with that unit by the end of september s a d leader home a car was back at the home demonstrative lead displaying his power. but he felt betrayed by gorbachev. the once you've been on a delegation like that, suffice we know for sure that they had nothing more to say to each other, but not to judy or was on a current issue on god, but not with gorbachev either has a mode you could see from the us and see what the mood was like over there when he log of the done. and then came the 40th anniversary of the g d r. i the jubilee celebration. and then on october, 7th of all days for the funds, they were riots and protests,
8:47 pm
demonstrations in east berlin in front of the public and the world press a decent boot. these images immediately went around the world of tests. in fact, there were riots not only in east berlin from, but also in 50 other cities as there were demonstrations against se, the rule on october 7th at the saint nicholas church, very young, right? police officers stand face to face with the demonstrators trying to talk to them. why are you here? the police officers are embarrassed and you can see that they are scared and well, i could no longer reconcile that with my conscience to know. and i was deployed as a to your guys gunner officers. then i went and said that i wasn't reliable the job to that was because i couldn't reconcile it. marley with my conscience bible. the it's
8:48 pm
a be specifically said to us now on monday morning on the 9th. the demonstrators don't stand a chance. today. we have enough power. today we have enough equipment today. we end the whole thing. on october 9th, after monday's prayers for peace, $70000.00 people took to the streets in leipzig. if this new cat had sounded the combat alert the army was on standby, the visa is a situation in leipzig, was highly explosive because the state wanted to put an end to all these demonstrations. mockingbird is, yeah, they had pulled together the riots. police actually has come, but squad, send the national people's army, and now the combat squads weren't even showing up anymore. but she's kind of when they tried to give a munition to the right. so easy to what they said, we want to take it, but actually won't shoot at their own people in the nation and issues. think of the
8:49 pm
item and lloyd october 9th was the turning point. they were seen, did not intervene. the masses chanted, we are the people. some members of the police even joined the march. they say yesterday 70000 people demonstrated a live 6 erie the silence a minute, the crowds, some noises from time to time, the chance and then intermittent silence like after air rage, the crashing of beams, just and shouts to stop the clock. so i little mentioned deep and it was somehow clear to everyone who was paying attention to that. now the chinese card would not be played for us. i'm not something else would happen built in the days that followed people throughout east germany felt their fear dissolved,
8:50 pm
thousands took to the streets and loudly demanded freedom. the right to self governance. and the removal of the c d. leadership change was in the air. on october 18th, the d leadership in berlin reacted removing equity. sony car from office to successor, eagle on the fence, announced his intention to reform the g. d r. but people were no longer buying it. on november, 4th 1989, berlin was the scene of the largest demonstration in the history of the g. d. r. the state security service was nervous. a hastily drafted travel law, had drawn fury. people no longer wanted to be patronized. i've never seen images like the ones you saw in the news from the duty on today. half a 1000000 people were on the featured bed and i wanted to be that to be part of it . it's no longer about respond. revolution is the order of the day.

8:52 pm
practical preparations they had made for the school, the coughing that was 0. that's one way. the morning of november 9th, 1989 began like any other day in berlin, with small provocations at the wall on the western side. torres climbed the observation towers to get a glimpse of the east in the ged. our preparations were under way for an international press conference. gunter sh about ski, tried to answer during the list of questions about the new travel laws. good. his big mistake, he had not yet read the revised draft to them as a bit to tie saunders. and as always, you decided on part of the short test prints of minor kansas for special for one particular 40. it's why that to not come when that follow up question comes and it's yes right away immediately it's. it's set something in motion that he can crash as far as in kansas in this big life. otherwise he

8:57 pm
material. schumann and foot unclosing and numerous suffering and over 20 is come, suddenly devolved into kitch, a kind of commercial product. it is a lesson in how quickly people can forget something that was was so dominant, so terrifying the world had literally changed overnight when the brandenburg gate was opened in december 1989, it was largely symbolic. just one year later, germany was a united the,
