small mines and factories lining the route were not able to survive after the communist regimes in east germany and in czechoslovakia ended in 1989. they fell victim to free market forces and competition with big energy corporations. these days it's cross border tourism that the region and the railway companies are cleaning their hopes on. the majestic infrastructure of the railway line along the border between germany and what was then the austrian empire. shows how important the route was in the early 20th century for example this 190 metre long viaduct in the lame off completed in 1004. sitting on stone pillars fashioned from bohemian granite the solid steel bridge towers 34 meters above the village mosque or is even its river. at 1st glance northern bohemia appears in conspicuous loci perhaps even behind the times but this is a region with a fascinating history. prosperity and abundant natural resources more and devastation persecution and displacement as well as political and economic rebirth all belong to the story of this region. as does its nature and the lasting impression it made on a

reflections on who are 2 here is a lot of friendship also for russia in germany many people also in east germany. have actually some fond memories see the nub of the when it was coming this and so there is a lot of i think that that among people here it is welcomed and i can't even be certain that it would not be somewhat welcomed in. iron places here with regard to night we often hit so i think over the last year or so you that there is a new threat a new cold war and it's russia and i were also hearing china tell you. using that argument she would issuing that they would need more troops in germany. well i don't know why they would need to be in germany the fact that they're in germany and there were so many in japan was a result of world war 2 that was a long time ago and germany was additionally occupied as we know and now be getting out sovereignty actually as a united country since the early ninety's oh for how long should there be such an extreme amount more of soldiers in germany in germany is is you know i think it's 2nd only to japan i have to look at the years on south korea and so we

we berliners may be familiar with socialist architecture from east germany but pyongyang looks like a combination of the 1970 s. and some futuristic science fiction vision. at 1st glance we couldn't make out any sort of social infrastructure at all and would have been lost without our guides which wasn't the sort of thing we normally experienced. once we were back in berlin we talked to philip morris who is an architect and also the editor of the architectural and cultural guide to pyongyang. young is an instance he fought in korea before the korean war young yang was a homogeneous old sitting in the creek is the in this man who he is but after the war they changed the entire city beyond all recognition and vanity completely sweeping away the old structures would. be an ownership rights one a problem because the state on everything anyway i mean is the best kind of a plan of the moment this was great for the city planners who could finally plan things the way they want to create utopias smile and so that's what happened here these narrow winding alley that's replaced by wide main road

it's a calendar leftover from the times of international friendship between mongolia and east germany. the trans mongered in express takes a good 3 hours to get a chair in the province of god he's a member deep in the mongolian step. is no stranger to the city until the early 1990 s. both soviet and mongolian air force bases were located in the region around so the station was strategically important. to the retired cosmonaut knows it well. this is why the station starvin by. at their celebrity guest to join them they proudly recall that this is story moment. true you know. nowadays the 72 year old increasingly looks back not only on his achievements but also on his roots as a simple known that. he had not the most of those of us on the mongols have actually been watching the skies in space from the very early our souls are at the 52 hour long history shows that we've used celestial bodies to navigate by for thousands of years. moreover to survive as a pastoral nomadic people. we have to be able to foresee the vagaries of the weather that's why the mongolians always directed their gaz

mean i think about the 1000000 really have refugees who came from north africa and the middle east to germany in less you years people who come from countries with very deep anti-semitic traditions and most of whom were convinced how it was never happens so for them this is a very good lesson democracy in the rule of law and about this stark black you see the holocaust unfortunately if the person is not country so it sends definitely the wrong message no punishment no crime really and deepening germany has been vigorous and off in its pursuit of things criminals. you've got to be kidding vigorous enough prison for germany as absolutely terrible record. over the years and if we talk about a western movie i can tell you and give you the figures till 1985 there are 120000 investigations there were tens of thousands of indictments less than 7000 convictions and this is a renewed effort i have to say i want to give credit to the people of lewisburg and especially to yes romanov who has been the director of the central office for the clarification of nazi war crimes to making the sentence but if th

we go down this route, of being something akin to the soviet union stopping people from leaving east germany think that this is of the us not having available china to warn them not to do this? yes. i think the uk policy on china has taken a dramatic shift in the space ofjust a few weeks or even a few months. partly because of the hong kong and partly because of the hong kong and partly because of the covid—19 pandemic and partly on the huawei issue in the minority muslim mission. and we were going to have a golden age but having that much for relationship, we should embrace this with china some years ago. a lot of these issues are not about the mistreatment of uighur muslims which we will talk about later was known about for years. suspicions over huawei when the government renewed the contract with huawei, it does seem strange that suddenly looking at things in a new light when it accusations have not changed. you are absolutely right. the conservative party human rights commission which i have been a part of published a major human rights report on the inquiry that we carried out in the r

do we want to turn into east germany, where we turn our intelligence community as a nation of snitchesponents? that is dangerous course for our country. >> that is a dangerous course of our country. number one question i'm asked by constituents in indjanna regular basis, how can no one be held accountable for the biggest political scandal in american history? using christopher steele's own words, that the fbi fell for it, it was designed to help hillary clinton she was right in the middle of it. others in the obama administration were involved in the scandal. no one is held accountable for it, that is the biggest shame for the last four years, since i've been in washington going on four years now. i still can't believe it, no one has ever been held accountable for any of this. hopefully what steele is telling the british courts now used as evidence in the american courts to hold those accountable who are responsible for this in 2016. elizabeth: yeah. congressman, your quick reaction to judge emmet sullivan still reviewing, breaking news today, refused to dismiss the case against michae

it's like being in east germany and the soviet union and people terrified of losing their jobs were beingd. >> martha: happening all the time. >> i like to say that the country is a partially free country and first amendment theft. people who are scared and happening a couple weeks ago the curator from san francisco said something like he will continue to buy art from people of color and women by da and by dead whie males. he got fired for that. and so just turn your back on the white artists. you can't even say that. he was fired from his position for making that unbelievable. >> martha: incredible story. byron, last on and this in regard to the issue of puritanism and it reminds you of like at the salem witch hunt and everything is one way or the other. either you are saved or your. and it sort of -, it's very interesting how the left is right -- the left is to be seen as a very tolerant and embracing party of all different backgrounds and now it seems to flipped. do you agree? >> absolutely, the punishment can be severe and talking about losing your job and again, the poll i mentioned

this is not just east germany paying enough money for its defense for the united states, being engaged in certain ways rated but there's a kind divergence of interest in the failure of many countries to align policies with these alliance structures and international structures. how does the biden administration sort of organ that. antony: while in the first instance, showing up again, demonstrating as you actually support these institutions. and see them is important vehicles as advancing these issues. when we spend most of the time taking a two by four to them, some surprise they don't proved to be effective. they're dealing with really hard problems. as i think we need to value them. these alliances starting with nato. it's going to be very important to our biden administration. similarly with the green present trump has treated as an adversary would in fact it can and should be a part and dealing with libya and that is really the first step. actually revitalizing these partnerships. reasserting that american values them. and that we want to be engaged in number with them. to work to

i fought on the border of east germany when i was a young soldier. >> i'm aware of that. and your unit is coming back to the united states. >> i know. it had been once before to fort poke and then back to germany. germany is no longer a frontline state. as for strategic effort, generale secretary stoltenberg, nato commander, was in the process of helping us think this through. i saw comments out of russia this morning that are different that viewed the actions we took as threatening because we will have soldiers deployed closer to the russian border. this is a thoughtful process. the military piece run out of the pentagon largely, but state department was fully involved in this strategic pieces of this. i am very confident our mission to deter russia, the nato mission to deter russia we are capable of executing. the precise number 200,000 early, about 100,000 when i was there. our forces need to be repositioned to appropriately confront today's challenges. >> well i would just fraeread fa report in bloomberg that quotes dimitri peskov, the press secretary for vladimir puti

it's also a contentious issue and also an issue between east and west because i would say in the east of germany former g.d.r. most most people would say that's was drawn to this ourselves. the cause this small established to russia in the west again it looks different looser the country is divided on this is for you i for one welcome it and there's a there's a group in germany where council official policy or policy makers don't want most of them though and. it's a chess some are if you thinking has to be done and i think both. what trump is doing now is will remember all of those the thoughts and the thinking and that can only be for the good. now from casinos to hotels to office blocks the name trump is plastered on many primary presses but an israeli settlement named after the u.s. president as a thank you for his backing in a territorial dispute is looking much less misspend and boris lear has more what is president trump left more than seeing his name in golden letters on a big sad well praise in recognition of what we'd see and here in northern israel he's got both trump heights in the mi

it's also a contentious issue and also an issue between east and west because i would say in the east of germany the former g.d.r. most most people would say next was drawn to this ourselves. because this smallest are going to russia in the west again it looks it looks differently so the country is divided on this is true i for one welcome it and there's a there's a group in germany where council official policy or policy makers don't want most of them don't want to it's a chess some thinking has to be done and i think. what trump is doing now is will bring about those. thoughts and deep thinking and can only be for the good. donald trump there talking to him from casinos to hotels to office blocks the name plastered on many prime addresses isn't it but in the israeli settlement named after the u.s. president as a thank you for his backing in a territorial dispute is looking much less resplendent artie's paulus leader mideast correspondent went to take a look. what is president trump left more than seeing his name in golden letters on a big sign while praising recognition one would say and here

many political leaders around the world not just chancellor merkel so machall final months and germany east chancellery until she leaves office in autumn 2021 will prove to be decisive and we have team coverage of the story in a has it is in berlin and barbara vessel joins us from brussels and you now begin 1st if you germany's model for the e.u. presidency is together for europe's recovery what's in the plan. the german government will be throwing all its weight behind efforts to get the e.u. out of this very existential corona crisis you have to remember that anglo-american we saw in the report says it is the biggest crisis the e.u. has ever faced and this time around this is an economic slump that is nobody's fault it was caused by a virus and the economy is essentially came to a standstill which is something that angle america has recognized which is why she is willing to take these revolutionary steps as some people here in berlin call it that she is willing to give the e.u. commission approval to issue shared bond which can then 750000000000 euros worth some of that money can then be

yeah this right this is a huge package 40000000000 euros for that swathe of germany from east to west from north rhine-westphalia across to saxony across the middle of germany rich is really where the coal production takes place 40000000000 euros which is intended to sort of boost all kinds of infrastructure projects in particular things like high speed rail and 5 g. communications and so on the government's also pledged to create 5000 jobs in those regions by for instance putting federal administrations into them and a whole load of other measures some economists say well these things won't really be sustainable their impact won't last for very long and a lot of people criticizing on the other hand wasting of money in this way when they say really what's needed is a real plan for how you transform germany's economy simon young and our land thank you simon. well to german football where bundesliga side vander bremen were held to a draw i 2nd division hyde now i'm in the 1st leg of their playoff the 2nd leg is on monday with the winners getting a spot in the german top flight and loser

it's also a contentious issue and also an issue between east and west because i would say in the east of germany former g.d.r. most people would say that's the most strongly to this ourselves. because this small established tie to russia in the west again it looks it looks different looser the country is divided on this is through and over of from the political structure we've heard. trump's moves about movement that used energy relate. as you saw official policies supporting nato as this we have the u.s. defense secretary this slip of the tongue saying nato role is to avoid peace of which he didn't say that but we don't look it we're in the 21st century what is the role for nato briefly in the 21st century is there a future for it but to me it's a indeed an absolute power structure. but i'm in the minority you know most would say it protects europe and. europe and for us but another way is there a better way of doing it. well europe's economy is as large as the us economy i mean if need to work to dismantle was true company italy or france will have nuclear weapons so i mean the threats to euro

i've fought on the border of east germany when i was a young soldier. >> yes, i am aware of that. and your unit is coming back to the united states. sec. pompeo: i know, they had been back once before and they went back. when i was there, there was six figures. germany is no longer a front line state. as far as strategic efforts, the nato commander was in the process of helping us think this through. i saw comments at a this morning that are different than you described, that viewed the actions we have taken as threatening because we will have soldiers that are deployed closer to the russian border. yes, this was a thoughtful process. the military piece of this ran out of the pentagon department, the state department was fully involved in the strategic pieces in this. and i'm very confident that our mission to deter russia is still fully capable. the precise number about 100,000 early. conditions changed around the world and our forces need to be repositioned to confront today's challenges. from auld just read report in bloomberg that quotes the press secretary for vladimir putin
