the information was supposed to be shared with state security services in other eastern bloc nations. this is the first time these images have ever been shown on television most of them have only been checked and sorted in the last few years. back in prague at the czech archive first state security during the communist era andre my take is the deputy director of the czech institute for the study of totalitarian regimes that looked into the activities of the east german security service. the sixty's vietnam in one nine hundred sixty eight is always closely associated with this feeling of emotional shock that is in turn tied to the occupation film of the twenty first of august in the days that followed it of course we depart ogden are where people protested through nonviolent resistance which undermines the here but what people really came together as one in our society the guy who is a very very powerful time shot as russian yes yes. we shall not take a list of east german agents in prague back then the historian isn't surprised he says the warsaw pact countries all spied on one anothe

musician and younger muse who catches his eye when doing auditions for a folk troupe turing the eastern bloclate 40s, early 50s. they are separated and come back together over the years and the film follows the progress of their relationship and drops in and out of the tumultuous relationship. there are moments when there is a lot of action in the film. most of the time it is bleak but this clip gives you a lively sense of the personality of zula. music: rock around the clock by bill haley. a few too many martinis! she is good at playing drunk. the main actress trained as a musician and music was her background and i assume this is a reason she was chosen. she ended up on a polish tv competition which is how she gained her fame and this echoes that because she is part of this grim x factor in postwar poland. the action moves to paris and it gets more interesting and lost me a little bit, because i always need to feel invested in a central romance. i need to believe they belong together. she is stunningly beautiful and many people will be falling in love with her, but it is very much from the

allows them to be one step removed because a lot of these suppliers in central europe and the eastern bloc may not have great reputations they may have supplied other people you know that have committed atrocities if they only deal with u.s. companies who go out and then do their own deals and then the u.s. government could wash their hands and say well we didn't know where it was coming from. twenty fifteen. americans supporting another when the middle east but in syria it's supplying arms to rebels not two state forces. again the weapons us soviet style easy to use and so common in the region they're hard to trace if something goes wrong. when i still controlled territory expands u.s. supply stepped up. i'm pleased that congress has now voted to support a key element of our strategy a plan to train and equip the opposition in syria so they can help push back these terrorists this is exclusive footage of what one of the pentagon secretive projects looked like. again the u.s. government uses private companies to train its allies we're going to examine the outside of. these men a highly exp

deals with poland, with the eastern bloc and with russia, the early challenges for the foreign policypresident-elect ronald reagan. >> reagan had spent much of his career blasting the soviet union and attacking any republican or democrat who said we can negotiate. he had been the leading opponent of detente in the 1970s, the policy of trying to ease relations with the soviets. what he disliked about detente was that they were hitting the negotiating team as equals. reagan thought there are two superpowers, but we have moral superiority because democracy is inherently good and sovietism is inherently bad. >> the only morality they recognize is what will further their cause, meaning they reserve under themselves the right to commit any crime, to lie, to cheat. i think when you do business with them, even at a detente, you keep that in mind. >> and everybody was like oh, this cowboy is shooting from the hip, actor, doesn't he understand that's not diplomatic. boy, did he get the soviets' attention, but there was tush-tushing about whether this was appropriate for the president to say. >>

her boss, back in the motherland, was russian oligarch and patton oswalt of the eastern bloc, aleksander ( laughter ) the f.b.i. revealed that on election night, after trump was declared the winner, butina wrote torshin to say, "i'm going to sleep. it's 3:00 a.m. here. i am ready for further orders." by the way, "i am ready for further orders" is also the theme of trump's next meeting with vladimir putin. ( laughter ) now, trump's behavior has been completely inexplicable lately. and one of the hardest moments to "explic" was when he sat down for an interview with fox news host and boy watching a video on how babies are born-- ( laughter and applause ) ( cheers and applause ) --tucker carlson. ( laughter ) the two men were talking about trump's issues with nato and they seemed focused on one country in particular. >> membership in nato obligates the members to defend any other member that's attacked, so, let's say montenegro-- it's joined last year-- is attacked, why should my son go to montenegro to defend it from attack? why is-- >> i understand what you're saying. i've asked the same

manafort's journey from the front lines of the reagan revolution to the right hand of a moscow-backed eastern bloc poll straight out of the central casting ranks as one of the more unusual escapades of the washington consulting class. >> let's go back 24 months where the trump campaign was in full acceleration. the candidate had caught great momentum around the country. he was on the cusp of breaking out and becoming the republican nominee. so, remember, we were outspent and outmanned by the other side. this was a very entrepreneurial campaign and the president was looking for -- at least the candidate at that time was looking for somebody that could protect him going into the convention. so we were moving very quickly. he hired paul. i think paul did a good job related to that. and if you're making the case that more due diligence should have been done related to paul and whether he should be hired or not, i can't judge that from here. certainly hindsight would suggest that. at that time, he was a 40-year veteran of republican conventions. he had worked all the way back with gerald ford. i mean,

world championships, but rowing is very strong, especially germany, france, italy and the former eastern bloc championships. it is interesting watching nations here, the intensity that some nations are putting on the european championships as a whole compared to maybe when it was just the rowing championships, is significant. how are we fixed? you talk about looking towards the world championships and onto the live pics. a lot of familiarfaces, peter onto the live pics. a lot of familiar faces, peter reid, onto the live pics. a lot of familiarfaces, peter reid, heather stanning, helen glover, she hasjust had a baby. how the squad positions as they look to pick up more medals and with the olympics and tokyo the horizon? every national team changes a lot after an olympic games, the start of the next 0lympic cycle, and rowing was bigger we had the men's four and men's 81—macro, 12 athlete and only three came back, and we had and only three came back, and we had a katherine grainger and helen stockton, a lot of experienced medallists have gone, and the skulls, the men's quad has stepped up, the m

i have voted to send rocket -- rockets to the eastern bloc countries, this was during the cold war. but really what in the world. we looked it up, and there was a unanimous consent vote for nurse profit, the little kids rockets, that were going to a toy fair in czechoslovakia. i went on and said let me tell you about it. there was a toy fair, and everybody in the congress voted for it. you can do those things, but negative research is nothing new. they were doing it then, and we got a 24 seven. you just put it out there. >> you had said earlier that people asked you how you could come to congress with having little kids, and they would ask if this was even possible. how did you do it? >> i am not sure i know. there are years i don't think i could reconstruct. i remember being so tired sometimes and i would sit down and i would see holes in the wall. i knew they were not there, it was just the exhaustion. we did lots of things. i remember telling this to one of my favorite pediatricians of the world. he one time said how do you work this out with your kids? i said i'm so afraid to te
