quoting him, the head of the secret police proposed the kremlin offered the west a deal on the unification and neutralization of germany, agreeing to sacrifice the east german communist regime to reduce east-west tensions, and improve internal political and economic conditions in russia, opportunities that were squandered in favor of securing german participation in nato. ... this is about 45 minutes.

several rounds of re-unification talks have failed. it's hoped they'll resume after the election. hoda abdel-hamid is in the turkish side and sent us there report. >> reporter: the election is not recognised by the international community, but turkish cypriots attach significance. voters have two choices. there's two candidates. the incumbent. what he stands for is the status quo, and the main rival - what he stands for is change. and this is what you feel when you talk to people here. yes, both men say that they are both committed to a solution to the cyprus problem. both see a solution in an different way. the encumbant would like to see a 2-state solution. while the other candidate. what he would like to see is a reunified island, because he things this is the way forward. voters have two choices. it's an important time. united nations envoy saying negotiations which have been suspended are set to resume soon. the man that will win the election will be mandated to sit with the greek cypriots in an attempt to solve the problem, but with diplomats believing that the possibility o

so, family unification has to be rationalized and the backlogs eliminated so that there isn't an incentive for illegal migration to unite their families. so that's the second leg. the third leg is a worker program. we have to assure our american businesses a supply of the legal workforce. i think most people working in the service industry, working in the agricultural industry, they would prefer to have a legal workforce. they tend to vote republican but they are in favor of the immigration reform because they have a very narrow profit margin and their ability to harvest crops and get chikens to market can get blown out of the water by some crazy enforcement measures taken by immigration authorities so they want immigration reform and right now we have a system if you survive a dangerous gauntlet of going across the border you will find a job someplace and immigrants have gone into any one of the 50 states. they've done it without any federal program directing them. if you look around the communities in the united states, the immigrants are not sleeping under bridges. they are not the ones

i will oppose any deal that does not end iran's nuclear ambitions and have strong unification measures. -- verification measures. [applause] i will insist the final version be brought before congress. the difference between president obama and myself, he seems to think you can negotiate from a position of weakness, yet everyone needs to realize negotiations are not inherently bad. the trust but verify is required in any negotiation, but the goal always should be and always is peace, not war.

. >> was it surprising for a man like him to be not in favor of unification, what was that about? >> i think one it was a generational thing and it was fair of what germany could become. we must remember he was not pro-conrad adenhauer when he came to power. he preferred the idea of a federal germany. >> thank you very much indeed for your thoughts on the subject, thank you. >>> now fighting has returned to eastern ukraine after more than a month of relative calm. the conflict between pro-russian separatists and government has killed almost 6,000 people. the ceasefire announced in february. officials are due to meet in berlin to discuss the ceasefire agreement. >>> thousands of supporters of a march in germany, organized by the antiislamic pegida movement. recently supporters have dwindled. >> translator: if you love germany then raise the alarm. if you love your husband or wife you must raise the alarm. if you love your children, then raise the alarm. warn your neighbors colleagues or friends of the threat islamization poses a threat to your country your children and your freedom

he campaigned for disarmament and social change but was against german unification.fiercely defended the author salmon rushdie. in 2012 he wrote the poem what must be said criticizing israel. it's not just the context in which he wrote, but also that the writing is exceptional. he is one of the great german authors if not european authors of the 21st century, and i think the political voice may diminish overtime but the work will stand true. >> reporter: but his role as the moral conscience of germany was critically damaged in 1996, in his autobiography. he revealed his membership of the ss soldiers. he tarnished the legacy of his remarkable career. >>> rare hand-written notebook by british mathematician alan turing sold for a little over a million dollars today in an auction. he also worked to break newazi coding during world war ii. >> reporter: the oscar-nominated hit movie that brought the incredible work of alan turing to a wider audience. >> we are going to break an unbreakable nazi code and win the war. >> oh. >> reporter: now a rare glimpse inside the working

>> these women are hoping to promote unification of two koreas bring formal end to korean war which hasormally ended. that is their primary goal engaging in the walk. they want to walk. they're waiting for permission from the south korea government. we've reached out to seoul and in washington to officials to see if they're going to grant permission. we're told now it's under review. one thing we've been told by the human rights group called committee for human rights. greg is the leader of that group. he says be weary of this group. he says they're known to be sympathetic with the north korean regime. the leader of the group says that's not accurate. we want to promote end of the korean war. these and other types of events involving koreans is turning out controversial. >> does gloria have that type of history? >> not at all. she says she's passionate about this. the committee for human rights says gloria and noble laureates may not realize what they're get k in to. we're reaching out to gloria's a people. they haven't gotten back to us. >> they would start in north korea, across the d

if we were to have discussions on the labor party in terms of a unification government, we could find common grounds. >> what do you respond to critics about the noble tradition of scottish support for the state of israel and also every recent u.k. government has been keen to emphasize that it's very close ally to israel. do you recall think this is going to become a popular idea in the u.k., this idea of recognizing the state of palestinian? >> i think it's unhelpful when governments choose to go down on one side or the other. this is international law a 1967 agreement, it's a matter of principle, a matter of law. it's not saying we are friends with one government or the next. it's about two sects of people who clearly want peace with a two-state solution. you have to recognize both. it's about a point of principle a point of humidity and justice. we think that's why it's fortunate and if we have an influence in the next u.k. government this will be an issue we think is important for a foreign policy agenda. >> thank you for your time. >> kit particulars of the cuban government are s

and it's there that they will unif you recall their national colors the first time the flag of the united states has flown over petersburg in four years. peters petersburg is now no longer involved in the civil war. pretty soon after that the city councilman have written up an order and they march out in different directions trying to find grant to try to spare the city from being burned or looted or pillaged. which doesn't happen. he will establish his headquarters in a home in downtown petersburg the thomas wallace home. and at 9:00 this marng, the president of the united states gets on a train and he comes in to petersburg and he will actually ride through the lines for the fighting had been that morning. he'll ride in and meet with general grant there in petersburg on april 3rd. it's there that he once more will state his objective. the reunification of the country is a week away. thank you. >> we'll take a few minutes of questions and then after the questions we'll take a ten minute break. if you have a question if you can, come down to one of the microphones at the front of the aisl

certainly doesn't have that spirit of unification that we think of with appomattox. now, general johnston commanded not just the army of tennessee but he commanded the department of the geographic region that included carolina and florida. he is surrendering 89,000 troops. it's the largest surrender of the civil war. some of the key differences is not there. they're not in physical contact with each other. the confederates are left to do this on their own, self-policing and the men are instructed to stack their weapons in camp. their issued parole passes and then they are free to go. the parole passes will work the same for them as far as transportation and rations. it's a very different experience. some units will march home with weapons and flags flying in violation of the terms. in fact, johnston had gotten word from president davis who by this time is down near charlotte that he wanted johnston to not surrender to sherman and pull the army back and keep it in the field. johnston had a line of retreat. he could have moved away where as lee was surrounded. that's a

sending congratulatory messages to vietnamese leaders for what is known as unification day. and at the site, a group of former u.s. marines honored the last two u.s. servicemen killed in the two decade-long war. millions died, including 60,000 american soldiers, and ali velshi's scott reports from hochimen city. >> this is here, the same location where the u.s. was in 1975. and the scene of those hasty evacuations of u.s. personnel as well as some of the south viet nam he's who supported them. relations between the two countries have been normalized for 20 years and that's been celebrated. and what is referred to as the american war. the vietnamese soldiers are marching in front of those grounds where we saw the images. speaking with generations here in viet nam who were born after the war, they have a of different perspective. we talked to a 28-year-old who had an uncle who was a u.s. solder in the war. >> even my generation now we don't want to look at that. most of the -- just to scare people. we don't want war again, we don't want fighting. >> the they saw a 6.3 increase

a day of unification. and it really is the true beginning of the civil rights and that leads us all the way to the present day. they made a move today that would change american history forever. and profoundly change the lives of millions in this country. >> we have been talking with tyler mink, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> we are back in two on "american history tv." it is the 150th anniversary of the surrender at appomattox. we are at the appomattox court house national historical park we will talk to the man u may have seen just a few moments ago, david blight, the author of a number of books -- including race and union in the civil war. we are going to obviously give you a chance to join the conversation and offer your comments -- here's how to do that -- if you are in the eastern or central time zones, the numbers 202 -- 798 -- 8900. host: you have written about the end of appomattox as being the beginning of a new calendar of time for freed slaves. what does that mean to them? >> there were ac

. >> that private unification bill was called the ladybird bill that is what johnson called it when he was twisting arms. where is ladybird bill? but she may not have liked that because when you sign that 1965 he never mentioned her name. maybe that is how he got her back. >> which first lady was influential but the least successful? >> i thank you could say hillary clinton and. [laughter] to be fair she always made the case with policy she would make a case for or against anything is sometimes the president said no. and with welfare reform there was some tension between them. it is not 100 percent known on all the matters but. >> what about mrs. hoover? to read very talented but reticent to the press so she doesn't get her story out. she wouldn't even do interviews even the story that addressing a buzz of a girl scout she was mad and never talk to anybody again. >> but there was a reason because she took that on as our effort during the depression jury encourage volunteerism senate there is the photograph about the girl scouts to irrigate more people to get into their communities spir

those suggest that we can see that -- during the civil rights struggle they so wanted to bring unification to resist the federal government and now that moment has come and gone. the impulse for solidary doesn't seem as great. and people want to be respected and seems to me by putting historical knowledge and historical fact and trying to see things in a way because it includes all the parts of the history included. what do you think? >> agreed. >> take up to 20 seconds. >> it has been remarkable. we need to pat ourselves. virginia has been the leader and been remarkable and has made virginians to be proud to be the leader creating the most significant programs these sessions keep among them. yet, there is detachment. despite the bloodshed of the civil war and the messiness of it it made us a stronger nation. the contact has changed enough that we can give it some rougher edges and deal more with complexity and i think if anything the confederate side of the story has been left out. the pendulum has swung the other way. the lost cause message is only not dominant but hardly present at all.

southern italy was that of a landlord that extracted high rent, exercised power that retarded italian unification, and so forth. in the latter regard, it is also important to recognize these different ethnic groups brought different forms of devotional piety to the united states or what we refer to as religiosity. although this was rooted in the immigrant experience, it was not until the 1930's and 1940's that we see what was considered the heyday of this kind of activity. two important points to remember about this piety and devotional ism, one was popular piety and the liturgy itself was both a cause and expression of the othering of catholics in american culture. i made the point that catholics were and in bitter -- embittered minority here for a long time. one of the most distinctive cultural markers and boundary mechanisms between catholics and non-catholics had to do with these forms of piety and devotional isism. over time, catholics come to look more like many middle-class americans. one of the ways in which they seemed weird had to do with how they prayed, how they prayed publicly and pr

that the sinister head of the secret police propose that the kremlin offer the west to deal on the unification and neutralization of germany, agreeing to sacrifice east german communist regime to reduce east-west tensions and improve opportunities and opportunities that were squandered it's actually a shocking decision that is being relived right now. under tces of the early fit these it is not impossible that agreement may have been reached that would have protected the security of the u.s. population from the gravest threat on the horizon. but the option was not considered, another indication, that is how security plays into the state policy to heighten the extraordinary significance of this failure, it was just at that time that the doomsday clock was moved two minutes to midnight, the closest it has ever been. and right at the borders of russia and ukraine, tracing right back to the end of the cold war. the crucial issue at that time in 1990 had to do with nato. now that the alleged threat of russian invasion had disappeared, one might believe that nato would have dissolved and its quite t

sinister, brutal head of the secret police proposed that the kremlin offer the west a deal on the unification and neutralization of germany, agreeing to sacrifice the east german economy's regime to reduce east-west tensions and improve internal political and economic conditions in russia. opportunities that were squandered in favor of securing german participation in nato. it's actually a shocking decision that is being relived right now. under the circumstances of the early '50s it's not impossible that agreement might have been reached that would've protected the security of the u.s. population from the gravest threat on the horizon. but the option apparently was not even considered. and possible opportunities were dismissed with ridiculed, another indication of how slight a role authentic security plays in state policy. and to heighten the extraordinary significance of this failure, it was just at the time that the doomsday clock was moved to two minutes to midnight, the closest it has ever been. these events from the early days of the cold war have considerable residents right now, right

three times that james baker who was then secretary of state told him that if you agree to the unification of germany and taking down the berlin rall, i tell you that nato will not move 1 inch to the east. now you may say he's lying, but i don't think he is. is. i think he's telling the truth and the thing is that during the soviet period which didn't last very long after that, nato did not move to the east. it moved under clinton. when the russians started saying what's going on here he was told no, no we have no agreement with you, we have an agreement with the soviet union but it's no longer there. so in 1991 poland czechoslovakia became members of nato. it was followed by romania the argument isn't about dates -- i may have gotten a date mistaken but finally nato found itself on russia's border in estonia and in latvia. you may say but there's nothing dangerous about that. i'm telling you this is cold war mentality that nato is seen as a threat. what the russians have set about ukraine, rightly or wrongly, is we will not allow nato to be on our border in the southwest. will not allow.

and i think the other issue that does not get enough play is how important family unification at theent that the bombs went off and the priorities that the boston police, the red cross, other institutions put into getting runners who didn't have phones right, most of them don't have phones with family members who have no idea where they were you know in that process, in that run, getting them together because once you know you're okay your family's okay you leave the site you relieve public safety resources to focus on those that are harmed and so that quick decision to just get runners to their families within an hour hour and a half really went far and that's -- we have a lot to learn from that for other crises. >> you have also said that you think this really proves that our court system can handle terrorism trials that is an important take away. >> it really is. i mean two years ago, just at this time a lot of people were coming out, including many senators saying well the tsarnaev brothers should not be put in a criminal court, should be put in a military court or special terror

so family unification visas have to be rationalized and the backlogs eliminated so that there is not an incentive for illegal migration for people who just want about to unite their families. so that's the second leg. the third leg is a worker program. we have to assure our american businesses a supply of legal, a legal work force. i think most people working in service industry working in the agricultural industry would prefer to have a legal work force. and right now you have agribusiness, you know, they're very nervous. they tend to vote republicans, but they are in favor of immigration reform because they have a very very narrow profit margin. and their ability to harvest crops and to get chickens to market and all that can be, can be blown out of the water by some crazy enforcement measures taken by immigration authorities, etc., etc. so they want immigration reform. and rather, you know, right now we have a system in which if you survive a dangerous can gauntlet of going across the border, you'll find a job someplace. and immigrants have gone into every one of the 50 states. an

. >> underground drainage water natural occurring salts and other heavy metals make it unif it for irrigation or human consumption. >> this is sub surface tile water. historically this has been that type of water. other goal is to turn it into a productive resource. >> this water actually runs underground about eight feet and you've brought it to the surface. you're going to clean it up and tap it back into the crops. >> that's the plan. >> aaron mandel is the c.e.o. and founder behind the company that produced the desalination plant. this is an a ray of mirrors. >> we're using this large mirror to capture the heat. the sunlight is reflected. >> the heat is piped into evaporators and steam generated. fresh water is condemned from the steam and salts and minerals removed in the process. >> what percentage of the water is purified? >> we can go to 93% water recovery. >> is 93% a typical amount of recovery? >> no, it's not. it's very high. that's what makes this process different from traditional sea water desalination which operates at 50% recovery. >> this is the product water we're producing

work out the kinks and the family unification program. and assure a legal work force for our industries that require workers, especially those on the low end of the economic scale. back to 1986 when we did immigration reform. it was a tough lift back then, too. if it was interesting because what we are seeing today in the united states, all this anti-immigrant feeling expressed in different areas, we lived it here in south florida in the early 1980's. it was mostly focused on the haitians. in fact, we had an indefinite detention policy for haitians. there's now detention policy for everybody. and i got to shut up soon because i'm exceeding my time. let me just say this is that -- what was a local problem here has now become pretty much a national issue. however, let's look at south florida. we survived it. our experience of immigration in the 1970's and 1980's have shown us we have nothing to fear from immigration. immigrants are not problems. they are opportunities because they bring gifts that -- and they bring possibilities and dreams

this is only the second time since unification. olivia: this is the widest yield in 25 years. it's just incredible. tom: money will flow from the euro through parity. it will come to the united states. another idea here is linking this. olivia: that is just wild. we surveyed a month ago average economists think it's going to be a spread by the end of the year of 198 points. i don't know if that's in the cards. tom: it's three digit tuesday. olivia: i thought it was standard deviation tuesday. tom: the markets are most interesting in light to central bankers data dependency. this is the spring meeting of the imf. jon ferro is in london. we've been talking about this for days. we will talk about swiss in a moment. why is the german yield at 10 years owing to go negative? >> inflation is nowhere to be seen. rates at the ecb are -.2%. i would say bring up the twos, threes, the force. the ecb can combine all of that stuff. it is trading below that threshold. anything below zero is ridiculous. anything below minus two point set, the ecb can't even buy it. tom: the canary in the zuri

told me three times that james baker who was then secretary of state told him if you agree to the unification of germany take down the berlin wall. i tell you that nato will not move 1 inch to the east. you may say he is lying, but i don't think he is. i think you saw the truth. the thing is that during the soviet time nato did not move to the east. it moved east. it moved under clinton. and when the russian star saying what's going on here now, we have no agreement with you. we had an agreement with the soviet union which is no longer there. you are russia. and so in 1991 czechoslovakia became members of nato and then it follow later on. >> 1991. >> ninety-nine. it was followed by romania. >> ninety-eight. >> it's not about dates the facts.
