eric: in coal terms, this is like a piece of the berlin wall.beike: yes, this is part of the berlin wall for us, the last coal. and we take care of this part. and nobody's allowed to take a piece of it, yeah? it's like a baby. eric: germany's transition from coal started in 2007, when the coal corporations sat down with unions and politicians and agreed to close down all the black coal mines by 2018. the deal was that no workers would be sacked. they'd all be given early retirement or found jobs in other industries. it was an heroic goal, and back then, it had nothing to do with climate change: it was all about money. ♪ eric: by the 1970s, it was cheaper to import coal than to dig it up from the ruhr's deep underground mines. the industry was surviving on government subsidies. christof: politicians decided in 2007 to pay not any longer subsidies for the coal production. and we decided to close, with a politician, this company. and they ask us how much time you need to do that without any problems. eric: so you closed the black coal industry with

not only that, i was writing it in west berlin, surrounded by the wall. aware of what was happening on the other side of that wall. yes. yes, they made sonic booms every sundayjust to remind us that they were there. and you were writing the handmaid's tale in berlin at that time and that atmosphere, that — that sense of difference was then feeding into the words that you were writing? yeah. more, more through actually visiting those places. so, we went to, um, east germany — that was easy for us, we were canadians. then there was czechoslovakia. fairly tightly sewed up but you can talk to people as long as you went into a field. and then, there was poland, which was already pretty loosey—goosey. so, those experiences of talking to people who had to be very careful about what they said, and you had to be very careful about what you repeated. it was veryjohn le carre. er, the whole thing, very familiar. so, that's creating an atmosphere, i presume, in the narrative? yes. that sense of a repressive society. and you have orwell, who has kind of led the way an

the berlin wall, as a symbol of the confrontation between two civilizations , has long been taken apart for souvenirs, separate fragments, generally installed as art objects throughout the european union. edification to posterity, and not the admissibility of escalation and confrontation in europe, as the time of a separate policy showed , national interests turned out to be deaf and short-sighted, gave way to personal ambitions, and the walls themselves began to build significantly the east of their german. maman , the confrontation line came close to the belarusian border and this happened long before 2014. i absolutely agree with president putin when he says that we did not start this war. it started, not even in the fourteenth year. she started long before 2014. we saw everything that happened here, the brown coup that took place, we saw what ukraine is being led to, we saw who was in the forefront of the options, there were many options for people to live peacefully in ukraine throughout ukraine but not the former yanukovych there and poroshenko and the current zelensky why didn’t

many would think there's a berlin wall that's 90 miles wide between cuba and the united states. p that wall come down? >> absolutely. i think first of all, freeing the political prisoners of cuba. sanctions on cuba from the eu and also from the united states. and we also have to understand that there are colleges and universities that are bringing groups to cuba still. this is supporting the regime. we have to cut ties and let the regime fall and not continue to support the cuban regime. don't get it twisted. cuban people need support. but this is how the cuban community has been by protesting, by bringing visibility. today marks july 11th, 2021, second year anniversary. there is commemorative actions happening all over the world. in munich, in chile, in madrid and all over the united states. we need to continue that. we need to support the cubans in exile across racial lines. >> thank you very much for being with us this morning. >> thank you, jose. >>> coming up, protests right now in iowa's capital with the state on the verge of passing a six-week abortion ban. we will go ther

we were both bankers in london before the berlin wall wall fell down. and and then we were both there in russia. as i said, there were hundreds of people who were showing up in russia. and 94 and bill was one of them. and bill and i did business together. he was at salomon brothers. he's he's a great guy, bill. bill made a you know, when he set up his fund, it was all russia. when i set up my fund, it was global macro. so the big difference is bill committed to russia. and i did not commit to russia. so that that that was the the main difference. and then and then bill you know bill stirred things up. bill pointed out things that were being done by companies like gazprom and that the management didn't want people to know about. and he he would call attention and write these long research reports. and he he really upset people and finally, they made a number of people mad enough where they wouldn't let him into the country. he was at the time. he was the largest foreign investor in russia with five or $6 billion. and they literally showed up at the airpo

a baltic way, not the berlin wall became the symbol for europe's future. and later when the soviet tanks sought once more to deny your innocence, -- independence, the people of vln -- vilnius said no, no, no, no. in january of 1991, tens of thousands of citizens, unarmed, and unyielding, came for their own -- of their own accord. standing as one to protect the tv tower, to shield the supreme council and defend freedom. 14 heroes tragically lost their lives. hundreds were wounded. but the whole world saw that decades of oppression had done nothing to dim the flame of liberty in this country. [cheers and applause] i mean it. it's consequential. the light of lithuania, you kept it strong. you kept it bright. and you kept the light shining. here in vilnius and in washington, d.c., where the yellow, green and red of your flag flew every day, this past year we've celebrated 100 years of unbroken diplomatic relationships between the united states and the baltic states. america, america never recognized the soviet occupation of the baltic, never, never, never.

the same thing happened when the berlin wall fell, the bank was tightening monetary policy, the german government was expanding fiscal policy. that helps explain why the dollar has been so strong. i look at the measure in they have the euro and the yen, the most undervalued in my career. matt: interesting. jon: i was going to ask about that, in terms of your thoughts on the currency flows if there is less desire for the dollar -- i am here in canada, it is not like there are people piling into the canadian dollar. marc: we will see what happens. shortly after the cpi u.s. reports on wednesday, the bank of canada meets. they had a conditional pause, they surprised many people in the market by hiking rates in early june. it is a question of whether they hike rates back to back meetings. i against it. the market has a slight leaning in favor of it. canada had a really strong full-time employment, but wages fell, unemployment went up. the last gdp print was stagnant. the market does have a hike for leed discounted by the end of q3. matt: it is fascinating to look at the screen and see that

it has international links and they became far more relevant and poignant with the fall of the berlin wallng of the borders. but sadly, because of brexit, we, the united kingdom, is now out of europe, which was is the go—to place for the 27 member countries for the exchange of intelligence. while we do have a working arrangement, as it is called, that was not signed until nine months after brexit. during that period, we had no arrangement whatsoever. what i can tell viewers is that we have lost access to the euro polishing into computer system —— europol computer system, which was accessed 603 million times previously, evidence given to the house of lords select committee on third november 2020 by a former director, rob wainwright of europol and assistant commissioner richard martin for the metropolitan police. it brings back what i was saying earlier about that intelligence gap. intelligence is the secret to defeat gun crime. each little piece like a jigsaw makes up a picture and i am afraid we have got a big intelligence gap at neighbourhood level because we lack neighbourhood policing a

, and he then sort of put putin sort of skulking around in a trenchcoat in front of the berlin wall as the cover. and it just it was just an ideal encapsulation of what working with someone is brilliant, is brian was all about. and so why did you decide to write a graphic novel as opposed to what i would have assumed you would do, which is, you know, a very serious foreign policy tone. and i would add there's a ten page bibliography. so this is a serious foreign policy. yeah, definitely. everyone should read the footnotes first. but yeah, what i was trying to do was i thought there are about three key audiences that i really wanted to reach. the first one was for people who are obviously paying attention to putin, who has this outsize impact on the world today. and i'm pretty much everyone's life. but people who are following the news might not really understand either. the arc of his own life. the arc of russian history, and the arc of the experience of someone who really was a mediocre mid-level operative who lucked into the job of a lifetime and who has played it fabulously from

exist in the same year, about six months before the liquidation of the gdr, before the fall of the berlin wall, and the parade in such a way, you know, spectacular, that is, a lot of equipment, a lot of soldiers, which shows that they are well equipped, well-scientized, and these armies were really trained for offensive actions and to fight for socialist ideas, at that time, these socialist ideas were no longer held by anyone , the ostracist fidel castro and the first and only president of the ussr, mikhail gorbachev, who recited restructuring and a course of reconciliation with the entry into force, the last army belonging to the so-called military bloc of the warsaw pact was created and formed from the very beginning . the 1970s in the ussr is the time of the holo war , which is gaining momentum in response to the soviets' intentions to bring communism to all corners of the globe, by no means by peaceful means. the west is creating a defensive military bloc of nato in the union. soviet propaganda broadcasts on the pages of newspapers and magazines, the last page of the magazine was usually d

remember when the question was about the berlin wall. what about? yes?does not know what burbock said today, she thanked the eastern neighbors for uniting. well, not russia, when i read this, i thought, well, it’s like completely without the decision of the soviet union and personally, it seems to me that we germans are never cains support we will never forget that our liberties are reunited by the country. we are also indebted to our ally and eastern neighbors. what it is? here, right? well, so what is really here everyone is slowly going crazy collectively, as for the plevskogo in the back, the fighting army and really sincerely, worried about the country. uh, i totally agree, but i can say that it's really foam, yes, which is visible. so last week i was in an absolutely wonderful russian city in kaluga and i can say that, well, a lot, of course posters. and in particular in the drama theater. i haven’t seen this in other cities, namely on the pediment of the drama theater there is a huge poster with e, the letter z e, we don’t leave our own. but anoth

was unity that helped them eh that is to overcome overcome to freedom and then the fall of the berlin wallme a symbol of eh liberation and people said oh no voice children of the 91st year, there were tanks, they tried to storm tens of thousands of citizens, they came out of their heart's claim voluntarily and defended the freedom of their country, people lost their lives, there were hundreds of wounded, but this the flame of freedom could not be paid in this freedom-loving country, it has consequences because lithuania kept this fire, they supported it so that it shines in washington , where are the flags of lithuanian colors and ukrainian elections, american, japanese , celebrating the 100th anniversary of diplomatic relations with lithuania because america - never never recognized the soviet occupation of lithuania, hurry up, wait, wait, you had an outstanding president, you have an outstanding president, he organized attempts to stifle freedom , your parliament declared independence , lithuania and america, it was interesting to become a war , they opened solemn presence was already la

isn't a large number of projectiles, let's say that in the countries of europe , because after the berlin wallell and the soviet union collapsed two years later, they did not change their doctrine, but they began to behave in such a way that, from their point of view, most likely, there will be no war between the technological ukraine, so there will be no big war, so they focused on the fact that well, they can do some and they really do not have enough ammunition, they are just 30 years old . they russia was preparing, and they hoped that it will be good and maybe believed maybe russia is being fertilized with energy carriers. well, let's make it clear. you know how many 155-caliber projectiles france produces for the french armed forces, which of them are alloys, what alloys they had , you won't believe 7,000 projectiles. that is, what we need for 2 days, they had a plan for a year. to convince the whole of europe with your movements that there will never be a big war in europe and for that reason why spend a lot of money on armaments, you can still do more. there are some social needs and s

join nato a few weeks ago i was reading a book about the history of nato since the fall of the berlin wallary poland and slovakia and the baltic states were were admitted to nato and then the president of the usa whose rhetoric was if they will be members changed it to when they will be members of nato and i believe that such an attitude should also be towards ukraine not if but when of course we understand that this is not uhu but we must have a clear path how will ukraine get there let's talk about when can we see something before the nato summit in washington next year it's hard to say there are many conditions the question is how the war is going but there are practical steps we can take in between i think we should end the gray areas in europe, because gray areas are the source of conflicts and wars. so, if we want to have peace, then membership in nato is the only security guarantee and the cheapest security guarantee that exists. there are talks about a kind of variant of germany, speaking of course about germany during the cold war, when the western part was in nato and the eastern

the berlin wall is collapsing germany seems to be falling apart, but there is no reunification of germany. well, much later by those standards. if it happened, there in a year or actually it happened in 90-91, then, of course, it takes a gigantic period of time in time during, uh, during this passage of this segment some negotiations are going on, some actions are going on. something's going on somewhere and here definitely worth paying attention to. this is the discrepancy in time, when we talk about the unification of germany , it seems to us that this is the very moment when shevardnadze, together with gorbachev, signed all these documents, all this was discussed, all this happened, but in fact it was shifted in time much earlier. and this beast later or much earlier. that is, it happened much earlier, that is, shevardnadze and gorbachev have already secured. uh, have actually secured the reunification of germany and the collapse the soviet union which actually began de facto. this has already happened de facto - it has already happened and i will allow myself to express a version. i p

last year, you helped and the air of division for the power of connection, a baltic way, not the berlin wall became the symbol for your future. later with the silvery tide, so once more to divide your independence, the people are building. i said no, no, no, no. and in january of 1991, tens of thousands of citizens are not nearly came for their own of their own accord scan. it is one to protect the tv tower, to shield or supreme council defend freedom. a florentine heroes, tragically lost their lives. hundreds were wounded, but the whole world saw that decades of oppression had done nothing to them. the flame of liberty in this country. i mean it's kinda like the way the cupboard, strong cupboard. right. and you kept the light. chun, herringbone is and a washington dc where the yellow, green, or red of your fly flew every day. this past year, there's celebrated a 100 years of on the broken diplomatic relationship between united states and the baltic states. america, america never recognized the soviet occupation, the balding never, never, never. c seen the utility, the book between the ameri

once had there , and this means the baltic countries and poland and the rapid restoration of the berlin walley hear this very well in those countries and they this is perceived because they were all once colonies or most of them were colonies and depended on the empire, so uh, you already know there too, uh , the balance in a good sense has changed in our favor. therefore, it is possible that rammstein will have more more countries at the next meeting, some are present there that are not publicly announced. they are initially as observers, but this means that they have already arrived as observers . they received an invitation from the main leader. my colleague, the minister of defense, the crime of the states. they receive this invitation and come , so i think there will be further development, minister. i thank you for this conversation, because you and i, in fact, summed up these 500 days. of a full-scale war with the russian federation. have a nice day. together to victory. glory to ukraine . we have not yet talked with the minister of defense of ukraine oleksiy reznikov about what we ha

the team that represent east germany that went against nato regulations particularly after the berlin wall went up. restrictions really were made tighter. so it became kind of confusing like why are they allowed to comply soccer now but then they are not for another time. different countries or not. had a confusing level. >> just for background, this did not apply to other countries? this is east germany specific issue? and with the nato members just focus their games is that how it works or what was? >> [inaudible] when west germany joined nato all of the nato states agreed to support west germany policies to not recognize east germany. all of the other states could, they need to also apply receive visas. some of those states and teams might not have received them. in general the warsaw past other than east germany were able to enter and play. what happened was always a complicated and kind of depended on the sport being played weathers a team sport or an individual sport and how strong the soviet union in that event us with all the other states were due. when east germany was not allowed

the 1989 saw the phone with the berlin wall in the time when many hopes for a free or end, better life. on the, just over a year later, not long after german reunification, eastern town of eva, his father made headlines. a model of more than 50 neo nazis attacked young african contract workers outside the local restaurant. on the day on tonio, from angola was beaten into a coma, with one of the attackers standing on his head on tonio died 2 weeks later at the age of 28. for you only send 2 men to do the looking back very well. i just feel really heavy on mail causes bear with me is seeing a colleague and brother who lived with us die mont, saint joseph, because he was black, our book, and then there would to like his friend. i'm a day on tonio. yona mendoza state in the country after the collapse of the communist regime. they both come to each germany from uncle as contract workers. in 1987 both had hoped to study on tonia wanted to be an aircraft engineer. instead, he ended up working at a meat packing factory. the on tony will fell in love with a german woman and was looking forward

it's a fire that burned at the foot of the berlin wall.en a resolute president said mr gorbachev, tear down this wall. so it's our responsibility to carry this torch. it's not a responsibility we should shirk from. it's a responsibility we should welcome. we're required to stand firm for the truth. we're required to be resolute in defense of our enduring american principles. and above all, we're required to show courage in face of enemy fire and you see it for what you're doing. you get attacked, you get smeared. obviously, somebody like me, i deal with it when i roll out of bed in the morning, but here's the deal. we are not going to save our country. if we are not willing to accept that there's going to be sacrifices, there's going to be arrows that we're going to have to take. and the question is the people that pledged their lives, their fortune, their sacred honor in 1776 knew that if they didn't win, their heads would have been chopped off. the people that fought for us in world war ii knew if they didn't win that struggle, the whole

well, since the fall of the berlin wall, our nation has sidelined our nuclear enterprise. we have underinvested in the modernization of our nuclear triad. that wordings triad, it refers to the three military fronts of land, sea,and air. the land-based leg of the triad, well, it's comprised of our intercontinental ballistic missile threat. the sea-based triad refers to our ballistic missile submarines. and the air-based leg of the triad refers to our bomber fleet and certain fighter aircraft. a full triad expands the number of options that our commander in chief has at his disposal. each leg of that triad presents unique advantages. military planners need diverse capabilities to ensure that our nation can act decisively in any scenario. if we can strike from anywhere at any time, our adversaries will hesitate before taking aggressive action. the problem is that we've been too slow to replace and upgrade those systems. as former stratcom commander admiral richard testified before the senate armed services committee last year, we have, quote, sum submarines that were built in

and it's a fire that burned when president reagan stood at the berlin wall and said. mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. but understand, this isn't easy. this is a responsibility. it's not a responsibility. we in florida shy away from, though. it's a responsibility that we welcome and we have no other choice but to do it. we owe it to people like president reagan, who fought so hard to keep this country free. i would not be standing at this podium today if it was not for reagan. i also think we owe it to all the people that have sacrificed so much on behalf of our country. one of the things that i would do, i, as was mentioned in the introduction, i did a brief stint as a member of congress. i've recovered from that experience. don't worry and don't hold it against me. but one of the things you would do flying from florida up to reagan airport is you would you'd fly and there'd be different routes to take. one of the routes took you flush parallel to the national mall. and so you're flying next to this pretty low and you look out that left side of the plane and the window
