in the aftermath of world war ii, germany emerged as a divided nation, east germany and west germany,s. with the west german film industry, nothing that remarkable emerged, although it did churn out quite a few films. but things began to change in the early 19605. there was a creative renaissance. rainer werner fassbinder was one of the defining figures of what was called the new german cinema movement that emerged. he was a brilliant but complicated figure who made more than a0 films. he died young, aged 37, in 1982, from a drug overdose. all his pictures were different, but his 1974 film ali: fear eats the soul is seen as a masterpiece. it's a film that's a favourite of london—based film—maker and producer anthony fabian, who says he's been deeply influenced by this german classic. fear eats the soul, at heart, is a love story... ..about an older woman. a very plain older woman... ..and a handsome, much younger black man from morocco. it's so approachable. it's so human and it's so touching. they develop this unlikely relationship across the film... ..with quite intense consequences

growing up in a divided germany, split east and west between communism and democracy, made a lastingion on angela merkel. brexit, conflict with russia, eu neighbours slamming shut borders, rifts were to be avoided, but her motives were often questioned. in your memoir, you describe your life in two parts, one part behind the berlin wall and communism, and the other part in germany, mainly in the world of politics, but you always come back to being viewed by some as an outsider. during your political career, people looked at you and said, you never really got or appreciated democracy, did that hurt your feelings? how did that make you feel? so i have a number of short questions to ask you, just to try to get to know you are a bit better. first of all, do you still feel like an outsider? who has been the biggest influence on you in your life, or the biggest help to you? do you have any indulgences or little weaknesses? chocolate or anything like that that you might have as a weakness? i like those things as well! i hear that in private, you have enjoyed in the past to imitate some worl

if the angela merkel of today would meet the teenage angela back in east germany when you were growingyou say to your younger self about the future lying ahead of you? thank you so much, doctor merkel, a pleasure to talk to you. hello there. the rest of this week looks like one of two halves. we'll certainly have some quieter, colderweather for the next couple of days with some decent spells of sunshine, could see some snow on the hills across the north through tuesday night, and then, as we push towards the end of the week, it turns milder, but very much wetter and windier, as deep areas of low pressure move in off the atlantic. so we're in this ridge of high pressure, though, for tuesday, and this wedge of colder air, as you can see on the airmass chart, so it will be a colder start for many for tuesday morning. very cold across scotland, perhaps down to —7, —8 celsius over the highlands and the grampians, and there will be some freezing fog patches around. some fog patches further south, too, which may lift into low cloud, but for many, it'll be a dry and a sunny day, with light win

go back to the suicide rate of east germany.e chinese economy, it feels a lot like east germany to me. people have to go back. study east germany. study what happened in that country. it is true. >> in that case, a lot of it is self-inflicted. >> i know you want to get to costco. >> a nice print. >> what you think? >> two things. people are buying gold and jewelry and gift cards and home furnishings and sporting goods. all things under pressure. health and beauty under pressure. the big-ticket things, people are buying a lot of expensive food, double digits in meat. but my favorite part, i have always said, nobody, comes after inflation like costco. three things that were emblematic. peanut butter produced 11.9, to 999. and chicken stock, $9.99, to $8.99. and $749, to $649. that is and will manic of what is done in this country. >> people to go there will recognize the power of costco to keep prices down. >> we pointed out in the documentary years ago, when they had a vendor that did hotdogs and tried to raise the price of them,

russia occupied east germany and the territorial boundaries remained the same knowing that at some pointmany would likely return to some kind of unification. zelenskyy wants the international territory of ukraine to stay in place even though russia is occupying some portion of it and he believes over time they will be able to get back the rest of the territory. of course that's aspirational but that's his goal. the second thing is if he makes a deal with putin he knows putin is never giving up on the aspiration to topple the government in kiev eventually, put a stooge in and take control of ukraine. he would see the negotiation as just a temporary impasse to that goal. that's why zelenskyy wants some guarantee from nato, a formal invitation to join nato. he would love to have a timeline. nato doesn't have to give him a timeline and hopefully in zelenskyy's mind it will push back the russians from their aspirational goals. >> bill: it is hard stuff to figure out, too, with the current state of that war. you have hot spots everywhere. ukraine, middle east, now syria from over the weekend,

wherever the 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 responsive 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 nato line, our military forces face east to prevent a possible invasion. on the other side of the line, the soviet forces also face east to prevent their people from leaving. >> i want you to remember that line. today on the nato line our military forces face east to prevent a possible invasions. on the other side of the line the soviet forces also face east to prevent their people from leaving. 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 version is clear. democracies protect rights, keep the peace and produce economic growth. the soviet system

you heard tony talk about my dad and actually talk about my adventure in east germany. for which my passport was yanked. and i was grounded. but my dad was toiling anonymously in the salt mines of the state department and i was back in boston rummaging through old stuff just the other day and i found the first image that the state department ever preserved of me. and that was my first diplomatic passport which i mentioned when i first walked into this building, number 2927. obviously there weren't a lot of people around then. but if you open it up, there's a picture of an 11-year-old squirt smirking at the camera and in the description it says, height, 4'3". and hair, brown. so as you're about to see in this unveiling, the only thing that's changed is my height.

now in east germany, as such, stories have hayes is really fixed. i think the government organizations, more resistance, but it's a different story in west germany. so if the, if the isn't already the strongest party driver need make, they play the fall of the soviet government for agreeing to reunite to terminate. because the problem is with drugs the most use for height, that's a whole nother story, isn't it? what do you make then? all of the head of states choice, the single light x, the social media platform, do the interference planes hold any water in your view. as they are ridiculous, but it said tati predictable. he's just doing what they're doing all the time. since mr. mosque took over x x and mr. mosque, it is a tweets all the messages. f has a think you later the number of very uncomfortable shoes about the effects of mass migration, industrial policy in the european union in pending threats to freedom of speech at our western governments. when used to such criticism from we say the western block, it's very a welcome to them. and naturall

not so much in the old east germany, there, reaction, spontaneous release and that has to be in the reaction will passion was saying, wasting for any you reaction. but that has been a reaction from the german government. specifically from the bell bulk, the foreign minister on social media is saying this is the 1st big sigh of relief for the syrian people, the end of the side. and also saying, excuse me, it also saying that's a key internal and external play is in syria and the situation since in syria can come together then the blueprint as it was for a pos to peace would be un security resolution 2254. how that's the ex theory, a policy as it were of the german government. but the domestic policy of the german government or the german political parties is very important to those people. those 972 old 1000 people, lots of large trunk people in this community bought since the summer since august of this year, when a failed syrian asylum seeker confessed to having stabs to dest, 3 people, in the town of dissolving it, and wounded several others, there was a sea change in opinion, both in term

they're all obviously, as i said, around 50000 didn't button but not so many in the old east germany. but the point here is their reaction, clearly spontaneous celebration. but then there are other reactions which might say, hit to watts. will the government make of what has happened in domestic is what is happening in syria from the foreign policy perspective? well, they'll be in lock step with the u. that is low tiers whatsoever. shad about assets departure, but many questions about what will follow will be a transition to a sort of piece, a durable one. will disparate elements in different parts of the country not to be able to co, less behind one group, lots of questions from that perspective. but then the domestic policy issue here in germany is very important. as i said, 972460 syrians here right now. they came here over the course of the last 13 years in 2015. i'm going to mack over the insurance that was sent to a country to a fellow citizens via shopping dustin, german. that means we can do it. we can absolve these people into our society, helps them integrate. they will be p

coming from the officials of the state that sucks any on the hub, which is the states in the old east, germany to what's the fact that people are talking of an attack. now again, not have to be very clear, fast who's being reported by news media, who are sole thing on identified sources within security services, but that has not been confirmed as of yet. and dominic, we are seeing live video on our screens of that street that the driver drove through plowed through at that christmas market. and you had mentioned that there is an extensive police operation going on there. we did see just a few seconds ago, police running down that road as well. so clearly the situation seemed as though it is still very intense stomach. let me ask you about the fact that in 2016 you had a semi trailer truck. the drove through a christmas market in, if i remember correctly berlin, that attack killed and injured dozens. um, how, how concerned are germans this time of here that an attack could actually take place? we know that there were more precautions taken to make sure that christmas markets were safer. and how

remember, easton germany, specifically the old east. germany is that hot land of support? the 3 most southern east german states, 30 percent 35 percent of the vote goes to the if day. so to a certain extent, at a riley like that, she is as well preaching to the converted. and yet she also has a wider audience, a wide audience that has seen the recall thing about the suspect. but he was, has being referred to officially by ministers as being is lumber, phobic. she is clearly trying to, as it was quite a circle, she wants to appeal to have policies call support feeding back on all chinese. but she also wants she wants to reach beyond that, which is why at the end of her speech, she was making the sort of comment you would expect to come for more or less for rights politician talking about the security of the country that people want security here, echoing to a such an extent, the view of the christian democrats, but clearly full of his playing at because of the general election in less than a week's time, a little and know that you'll be keeping an eye on that for us to domi
