are very contrasting moments, because if the soviet union built technology on the territory of east germanyo -microelectronics factories were built, optical factories were built, the working class was directly supported germany, new infrastructural conditions were created, that is , a very serious people were created, by the way, including the eastern people. germany , by the way, such an interesting moment, you know, german prisoners of war who were on the territory of western germany, they told each other that in eastern germany the soviet, soviet military fed the prisoners. stalin sought psychologically, and this is really very important for further development, to make sure that the east germans did not have a second revenge. in the west it was a different story. for many years now, the phenomenon of the german economic miracle has been reproached against the soviet union and russia as its successor for the fact that the ussr was unable to achieve such a flourishing economy in the gdr and the european countries of the socialist bloc, which was demonstrated by germany. western germany ha

and trying to find all the weapons at the end of the east germany. but how do you think maybe north korea sees that relations and what happened to east germany at the end in this sort of unification? because it doesn't bode well in some ways for side you're going to in fact disappear here so there's no incentive to sort of bring down that in the future. i can jump in 50 words or less there. thanks so, i mean, if you look at some the strategic document, first of all, it's hard understand what's specificity and clarity, what north korea thinks. it's such a opaque country. but if you at some of the joint alliance documents, the the 2009 joint vision statement between u.s. and south korea or last year's joint declaration celebrating the seventh anniversary of the korean war, there are references to the u.s. supporting a unified korean peninsula that is democratic and under market principles right. and to us, that that just sounds like a explanation of our policy. certainly something that south korea likes to hear and there's does not seem anything hostil

just prior to the integration of east and west germany and 1991 i studied the economy of east germany. it has been believed strongly in the united states and elsewhere the east german economy is doing well under its communist government. on the contrary the data showed outside of the energy sector there is only one single enterprising east germany that would be able to make a profit after unification went as currency was exchange for joint marks on a one-for-one basis and the east germans had not only suffered greatly from the cruelty of their totalitarian regime but that's ever vigilant they had also done much less well economically than the west german counterparts on the other side of the border. russia, which was for along the center of the soviet empire eight poster child for the economic success of those who disparage democracy. recent ims estimates of gdp per capita of russia relative to the uniteded states are about one sixth. repression has driven highly educated workers from the country taking their skills, ideas, and capitol with them. for example to launch some of the worl

this past, that is, there is the stasi ministry of security, state security, so-called the former east germanyo to speak, this cadebist system of eastern europe, that is, here in russia there are a lot of connections and people who can be used as an agent. as spies, and that is why i, i think, am now in germany, well, they understand this problem, and it is a political problem, an economic problem, a diplomatic problem, but for russia there is a lot here, as in other countries of the former warsaw pact, the so-called , there are of course many networks where they can their... there through which they can to carry out their operations, whether they are clean or not, because we see no fewer migrants in the same london, but the mi5 mi-6 will work and the spy will be caught, deported, in germany we do not hear such loud revelations, or just quiet are they sending all those or the wrong volumes, maybe even if you keep the stasi, but you have to remember that there were also such in britain... the murders of litvinenko there against the skripals, that is, everything is not so good there either, of c

eric honecker, the largest politician of the gdr, with whose departure the political history of east germanynded, he died exactly 30 years ago, his fate was reflected in the conflict. ideology that divided the german people in the 20th century. for his beliefs, hunneker was imprisoned twice, in his youth in hitler's germany and in his old age in west germany. but nothing could make him change himself. he spoke about how honecker is remembered today and what about him in an exclusive interview with news. the last leader of the gdr, egan krenz, in a report by the chief of our berlin bureau, mikhail antonov. despite the fact that the majority. and this naturally hurt everyone’s feelings very painfully, just imagine, we are standing on the podium at alexander platz, 40 years of the gdr, a crowd of people is walking, 1989, mostly young people, everyone is shouting, gorby, gorby, gorby, perestroika, gorby, gorby , perestroika, he turns, we are standing in front of us, he says, where are we located, i say, in berlin, not in moscow, from everyone. meeting left the impression is that the citizens of

just prior to the integration of east and west germany 1991, i studied the economy of east germany and it is been moving strongly in the united states and elsewhere that these german economy was doing well under the communist government. and on the contrary in our data showed that outside of the energy sector, it was only one single enterprise in east germany and would be able to make a profit after unification when its currency the smart was exchanged deutschmark's 141 basis that one for in these terms and not only service lately from the cruelty of their totalitarian regime, when the individual - did also much less well economically to the west german counterparts on the other side of the quarter in russia for so long soviet empire poster child for the economic success, for those the despair the democracy in recent imf estimates, gdp per capita russia, relative to the united states, or about one sixth card and repression has driven highly educated workers from the country and taking your skills with the ideas and capitol with him and foror example, to mourn some of the worlds leading

in a democracy. often rule it has minors at to adjust to some degree, also with east the former east, germany joining west sermons become what is now modern day germany sat. very constitution has been there from day one and it's still stand strong. it's and actually enjoy is high acceptance from east and west. and she also called for intolerance against those who want to use democracy to kill it. so clearly, and that is a thinly veiled reference to the strengthening of the fall of rights. also to, for germany policy here in germany, which is now also under suspicion and being it's of the buying tubs and services as a potential threats to the very constitution that we are celebrating here today. utilities, michelle lexis, nevada is around up in some of the, of the headlines making use around the world. the united nations top quote says it will make a ruling on friday on a request by south africa to order israel to implemented sci fi and gaza. south africa is leading a case at the international court of justice. it's accusing israel of genocide and has petitioned the quote for emergency measure

the ovd included socialist countries - albania, bulgaria, hungary, east germany, poland, romania andred back in '49, but in moscow. they hesitated in organizing their bloc, did not want to aggravate the situation, even soviet participation in nato was proposed, the trigger was the admission of the federal republic of germany to the alliance, after which the soviet leadership did not hesitate. in warsaw the treaty emphasized the need to resolve conflicts by peaceful means, but created a unified armed force and guaranteed assistance to any member of the bloc that was attacked. by the end of the eighties, the number of troops. reached almost 6.5 million people. both blocs were instruments of the cold war, but after the soviet perestroika collapse of the socialist system, the internal affairs directorate was dissolved, unlike nato. the united states and its allies, contrary to their promises , began to strengthen and expand the north atlantic alliance to the detriment of national interests of russia. on may 14 , 1973, the united states launched its first and only... orbital station skyla

egan krenz, former chancellor of east germany, his position was then called chairman of the state councile and long journey, on may 9 every year he treptow park. song "holy war", you can imagine what people in russia think about this, this is a bad path that germany has taken. russia is mourning the 27 million citizens lost in this war. german officials must come here, the president and chancellor of germany. the german authorities, of course, can send wine, but they themselves don’t go to treptow park like that. it looks like helmut kohl, the last chancellor, who visited the main soviet memorial, and this was almost 30 years ago. on the last day august. percentage duties on direct supplies of chinese electric vehicles and chinese batteries for electric vehicles to the usa, but if the market for chinese electric vehicles in the usa is still only 1%, then the market for chinese batteries is as much as 70%, that is, more than 2/3 of the american market for batteries for electric vehicles is already occupied by the chinese, they are cheap and high quality, that’s why the americans missed it.

east german city of cottbus. our berlin correspondent, jessica parker, has this report. in germany'slar, even aiming for power. and jean—pascal hohm is a regional parliamentary candidate. the afd is proactive on social media but also on the ground, and it feeds this idea they want to promote that they are of the people and taking on the establishment. but, as the bbc has found, jean—pascal hohm's held links with several groups now classed by domestic intelligence as extremist. networks accused of anti—migrant, anti—muslim ideology. translation: all these | organisations focus on one subject — the theme of our times. it is the population replacement going on in germany and in europe. to voice that, and to fight that politically is not extremist. you don't think the great replacement theory is extremists? i mean, it's a far right conspiracy theory. translation: no, the great replacement is happening. i i can see that in my own city. i do not say it is organised from up high. i say it's happening. it was at this office back in march thatjean—pascal hohm helped organise an event. the spe

wherever comparisons have been made between free and closed societies west germany and east germany, austria and czechoslovakia, malaysia and vietnam it is the democratic countries that are prosperous and response to the needs of their people. and one of the simple but overwhelming facts of our time is this. of all the millions of refugees we've seen in the modern world, their flight is always away from not toward the communist world. today, on the need to align, military forces face east to prevent a possible invasion. on the other side of the the soviet forces also east to prevent their people from leaving the hard. i want you to remember that line today on the naito line our military forces faces to prevent possible invasion. on the other side of the line, the soviet forces also bases to prevent their people from. i'll tell you in a minute why that line is so important and what it tells us about president reagan. at this point, reagan's ideological vision is clear. democracies protect rights, keep the peace and produce economic growth. the soviet system fails on all three grounds.

east and west, west joined together. indian history was written differently of east many essentially the wind, west germany. and there's still a sense of regret that there was no east and elements contained. that was the one paragraph that would have committed everybody to work for the common good. that wasn't included in the german basic little off the re unification. nevertheless, 58 percent of the east germans say they, they back. it's a 100 percent. they're fully in favor of it, and this is all against the backdrop of less and less commitment less than this belief in democracy. even here in domini, which has led to debate to enshrine for instance how constitutional lawyers are chosen into that very basic know as well. so to see, yes, it's being attacked from different quotes as, but basically most germans feel a 7th time as well. so what would you say is on the frank with the rise of extremism? it's my system would be that no, it is not on the threat. democracy globally is on the pressure that all tendencies that the, the rise of the far right a if the pot is showing that democracy and it's cool values

the economy was bad and that's what the democracy kind of started east germany. and also um is security forces for a very long time did not take the trach from the wind from the right and very seriously and there was actually there for me to use this some g reset checks on in other words. so this is a national model complex so let's turn to the security forces and how well germany is equipped to handle this kind of political violence. do you feel that there are enough institutions in place in germany to deal with that? a she is we, nation's security was, would be overwhelmed by the task that is now on our hands. it takes to a society security forces. no state is able to have that forces just to check every, every day. it's a civil societies to actually he can vote can do politics and then say it's not say those people out and then that happens. i just want to just kind of and that's all parties gets worse if she's outside. that's fine. if you do have conditions such leticia, can she watches and say that is something that is not the case 6 me it's a cute was set.

will set, also commemorates at the day the day that the whole of germany, including the former east germany, was included under the basic laws and its guarantees. i'm going to cross straight now to the w's chief. political does not make a left cuss now who is outside the chance. 3 in the land where all of the festivities are taking place today. mckayla and you're right there in the middle of the action. i can hear the applause in the background. give us a sense of the, the atmosphere in the center of bell in today. yes, it's a very solid return. just about to video of the time we just saw 3 skydive is coming from the sky, delivering the german dignitaries from german society for the rest of the incense. so tickets for us here today, many investors and representatives from the constitutional court and were due to hear from the federal prison in about 10 minutes time with these 2 to hold his speech commemoration. 75. use a basic with most them and seal it is set them well according to polling, despite the fact that it's so perceived to be western may a little because it emanated directly from

egan krens, former chancellor of east germany. his position then. was called the chairman of the state council, despite his age and long journey, on may 9 every year he is in treptow parkslit. when the song "holy war" is banned here, you can imagine what people in the country think about it. russia, this is not a good path that germany has taken. russia is mourning the 27 million citizens lost in this war. german officials must come here, the president and chancellor of germany. the german authorities, of course, can send wine, but they do it themselves, like this. does not go to treptow park with his feet. it looks like helmut kohl, the extreme chancellor, who visited the main soviet memorial, and this was almost 30 years ago, on the last day of august 1994, but he really needed it then. together with boris yeltsin, he hosted the group's farewell parade russian troops in germany. on the eve of the official ceremony of seeing off the russian troops, german chancellor helmut hohl said that in the future august 31st will be jointly

cooperation and support from the official berlin of ukraine, will this somehow mean that germany will be divided again, the east will be, well, let's call them soft for now, ultra-right, so as not to say whose ideas they support, the rest of germany will remain democratic, will this somehow affect support for ukraine? yes, unfortunately, this has a certain influence, and one can simply speculate that this is scholz's course now, and his decision regarding taurus, this is also connected with the fact that there will be elections in eastern germany, and there , i myself am in eastern germany, not only this one is popular here alternative for germany, but also two other parties. who is also against germany's military support for ukraine, this is a left-wing party and a new radical left-wing party, the so -called sarah wagenknecht union, this is sarah wagenknecht, she is a former politician, here is a left-wing party, she left and made her own party, that is, there are three parties , who are against this german military support for ukraine, and... and the social democrats, they, they try to compete with these part

day visit the main event will come on monday and on tuesday with visits to place them in the old east, germany, and to munster in the old west germany dominant came alger 0 bully. there would be more practice in georgia. demonstrate is, once again took to the streets and the campus of police, you to denounce and bill which targets and use and media houses receiving funding from the full even though the proposed always be tied by the president and piece of really consecutive georgia. dream policy say they will have a ton that's during the session of condiments on tuesday. at least 15 people are being killed by tornadoes in the us tonight as tor across the us state of texas, oklahoma knocking so the storm is attending, so it kind 1000000 that's there for me when that one is coming right up to you soon by the on counting the costs to us escalates its trade with china, but does it have the upper hand to the sugar industry is in crisis. all the pots of its full spring economy could also be effective. plus the moving shortage in critical minerals needed for the energy transition. counting the cost o

i don't choose day with visits to today's 10 in the old east germany and to munster in the old west germany dominant. came alger 0 bully. you know that every day, thousands of on documented migrants and refugees from lots in america. the car being and mexico use makes it sorry you use mexico as a transit company, a country to reach the us and search for a better life. but a new trend is taking a forward is by surprise. tens of thousands of refugees in microns now. want to make, makes good. then you houses are as locked in america. 30 said human explains from mexico. city scores have been documented, migrants in refugees crossing into chap. that's for naples left in my lab there. just some of the roughly 7000 arrivals in mexico. every day on their way to the us border as they make their way north, many a penny. let's see. the honduran says that she and her haitian boyfriend had been living here for 3 months called val, petite. they have arrived from haiti 2 months ago and is working in a garage to save money to continue his trip. in the i came here in the new things as the mechanic for time

i see in east germany, for example, where the far—right afd is very strong.ojections that the far—right, or the nationalist right, or nostalgic nationalist, anti—eu sentiment kind of parties, and that they are tipped to go first in eight or nine countries, and second or third in a further nine countries. now, that can change decision—making within the eu. we've just seen an interview in the british press with the estonian prime minister, saying, "this looks to me very much like 1939". i mean, it does bring back these sentiments, whether they're true or not, doesn't it? why would estonia say this? well, estonia would say this because it feels directly threatened by russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine, and saying this is like 1930s europe is going to make people, they hope, sit up and listen. is this 1930s? i mean, again, it could be a big debate. i think we should always be careful about being too alarmist. aware ? yes. alarmist? not really. so, these are times of crisis in europe, and these are times of confrontation. and i think very worrying for many is

was 1988 and we decided to see what would happen in the center of europe if there were unrest in east germanylkrovt, former assistant to the president for national security. then it is impossible to shed, gorbachev believed, as my colleagues believed, blood in the center of europe, so we urgently need to start negotiations, look for some kind. russia can make up its mind, we have the fifth article of nato, now all these wonderful countries are practically covered by this nato charter, and russia cannot afford any response to escalation, except , of course, war on ukraine itself, because russia understands what this can lead to , you wanted to say something, but i didn’t want to i completely agree with you, that’s what i hoped for. they are, of course, trying to convince themselves and others, there are smart people there, there are not smart enough, including in the leadership of the west, in my opinion, there are quite a few of them. enough after the shredding of the political leadership in the west, well , urshulaen alone is worth something with her speeches, but nevertheless, it seems to m

volodya says, this is exactly what i observed more than once in germany, if this is east germany, thenlove adolf hitler terribly and they are carriers of hitler's fascist ideology, and when you go to zahirism is effective, but when you go to the west in some freiburg, this guy with marijuana and dreadlocks is sure to come with a volume of karl marx, and in this case there is such a paradox, what kind of paradox will we have when we return people and territories? they were re-examined, re-examined in putin's style, that's still something different than in germany, and what will we get? i am afraid that they will change to bohdan khmelnytskyi, to the pereyaslov council, but it is not for nothing that the occupiers in the occupied territories formed, for example, the battalion of bohdan khmelnytskyi, well, or there are still some similar formations, and most likely, that is easier . if we return these lands, it will be easier to cultivate some such, well, comfortable symbol for russia, a symbolic series of ukrainian identifiers, such as bohdan khmelnytskyi, that is, those persons who were

therefore, we now see that east germans, east, east east germany, they think competently, pragmatically managed to find out thanks to simple information procedures, they either served in the wehrmacht, or served in general in the sss or somewhere else, therefore why are you surprised by this, alexey alekseevich, they are not shy, when they start doing this, they have already begun to practically be proud of it, from that moment on, the trouble is gone, because the vaccine. you won't stop refusing, deny common sense to yourself and the countries you lead, this will happen, so i think that everything is very smart now, this algorithm. worked out for centuries. andrey fransovich, should we somehow react to this, well, to the german ban on everything russian? well, from a diplomatic point of view, of course, we have already reacted and certain notes have been written, but let’s be frank, the west has taken such a very strong start in changing the consciousness of europeans, the western world in general, regarding russians. russophobia is even moving aside here, he simply demonizes us, but..

and keeping in mind that east germany is a very function was a very functional site compared to your crime. and the 2nd part of michael would be be in difference because people in the having to negotiate the cost of loving all of these different the problem is, well the slice and the ends of job loss is the industrialization. as i mean, the crime is not a big issue in that regard with the raleigh, the survival, economic, insightful, as a size. the hon. gary and prime minister greg recently brought up the fact that cube has not fulfilled your pin commissions membership requirements. so how are these negotiations even justified if you crane you can't even fill those requirements? no, i noticed there was absolutely 0 of how you can probably to area which was distilled any, find the one. so i mean the, this raises the question is you rightly ask me, why is this discussion typing blows? and i, i would say that firstly, it's martha a, i logic a rational logic. but rather a g o to must go logic, which is probably driven from across the atlanta ride to a very client, brussels. i mean, the bo

there were conditions — they could only be used around the kharkiv region in the east. germanyng that permission. the kremlin is now accusing nato and america, of "provoking a new level of tension". jean mackenzie, has the latest from kyiv. this is what ukraine has been so desperate to stop — an onslaught along its north—eastern border. russia has been able to bombard the city of vovchansk with impunity, launching attacks from russian soil then seizing ground. overnight, it struck an apartment block in the region's capital, kharkiv, 20 miles from the border. at least six people were killed. elena's husband and mother were inside and are still missing. president zelensky has pleaded to be allowed to properly defend his country by using nato weapons to strike russia. washington has finally agreed, but with strict limits. ukraine can only target russian positions along the kharkiv border. this is some step forward to that goal which we discussed before, to make the possibility to defend our people who live in the villages through the borderline. but russia is pushing on multiple f
