you say the german economy is way too strong? but it's a criticm that has been around for yrs. germany's trade surplus is here to stay and trading partners are not happy. exports have been rising for five months in a row. the data has beat expectations joint exports rising by about 1.5% over the previous month. the value of german goods sold in other countries past 110 billion euros, up more than 14%. imports also grew, but not by enough to balance germany's highly resized trade surplus. inmate it bounced back up to 20 billion euros. these are not just empty figures. , for decades -- for decades, germany has pushed for free and open commerce. it is now selling a lot for not buying a lot in return. that bothers donald trump who says germany's free trade is not fair trade. german firms say it is hardly their fault for making good products that sell well. reporter: the united states is the world's top customer or medical equipment from southern germany. rudolph medical makes surgical instruments for american hospitals and is just on

one of the six is a german national and the german chancellor angela merkel, she has condemned the court pass ruling, calling it unjustified. reporter: r relatives and colleagues of the arrested human rights activists are in shock. a turkish court ruled on tuesday that four of the detained must be released. but six others will continue to be held in pretrial detention, including the workshop leader. that makes him the 10th german held in turkey on terrorism allegations. the german government has declared solidarity with the detained human rights workers and says it is using every possible means to obtain their release. germany's opposition green party is calling for chancellor merkel to take a stand. >> this time has come, indeed it is long overdue for the german government to finally stop cozying up to ankara, to finally send a message that ankara understands. we must make it clear to ankara that they are way out on a limb. after all, ankara depends on good economic relations with the european union. reporter: and chancellor merkel was quick to deliver thahat message. >> we are certain

of the german politics. the most thoughtful and see this is just as i'm stunned mr knox was doesn't see it as a tiger has been discussed the novelty of it by the dusty novel the devil in. the dust even before the bottles of i suppose i'm nuts for the seeds is. that in. the medieval but mostly mostly listen to them indeed but the not to. lose football is most of them good for on the west some would come up with incessant does that mean was that isn't. supposed to give the. woman enough of the reason to dislike the list of all those. credit as one of the basic instruments to drive an economy but it can also lead to tragedy i did it i took the how just i came to god and meant that the text i came to and it was not. many lives have been broken really excessive that the banks got you into trouble normally big bankers copy. everything going there go . the bank but i didn't think of the ordinary man in the morning there is a back. people see no future bad face and have. will you turn to job your relationship breaks

is aweapon right there german machine gun. airborne operations, just like you guys down there, the unit did airborne operations not because they thought they would have to use them to keep up the qualifications was easier than having to retrain them later. you never know when a mission might come up later. you see some of the names down european, the lieutenant colonel was a polish immigrant in the united states, he served with general gavin. he came back as a unit commander. anybody would recognize the sky as a non-airborne qualified sugar -- soldier. these are overseas stripes. also, small unit operations required using small airplanes. the airplane was actually based out of berlin. setting down on short airstrips, anyplace, anytime. what they look like. they are still carrying american weapons. this was an interesting story. that the time government started using small nuclear weapons as a way to slow down the russians, the engineers had a burden that they could put under a bridge and pull off a bridge and that was fine. th

he just met with angela merkel, german's chancellor. there are a number of violent clashes between protesters and police have have been ongoing for about the last hour and half. this all comes right before donald trump has his very first face-to-face meeting with the russia president tomorrow. all ice will be watching that. i will hand it off to my colleague. ali, take it away. >> this is not how i thought the

and a lot of the germans were looking elsewhere, one of the nazi party members were even german. in hitler, austria, egypt, america for a long time. a lot of the main people we would think of, rosenberg in the baltic, a lot of them were coming in to the baltic, so a lot of the main nazis at this time had international ritz and i think that munich being such a cultural center, i would guess germany is far behind a lot of these places, especially the east and austria and france but i'd have to look and research a little better before i said that would probably be my option so i think you're right on that. >> not only in a liberal democracy we have this problem of what do we do with extremists that don't directly engage in violence. it took the ritz years to engage chowdhury. did hitler at this point rectally engage in acts of violence and if he did, why didn't they throw the book at him? >> yes, he did. he did engage in violence. he encouraged like the storm troopers to go out and brawl. because the first people to sign up for the storm troopers he said are the people they beat up.

>> the german embassy was not -- was very angry. this is not what the chinese side promised when they negotiated about letting the german doctor in. the german side is very angry and they see it as a -- a trait -- an insult. >brent: when you are in china, r beijing, how do the chinese people feel about this case? do they think that liu should be allowed to leave? >> i asked the beijingers what they thought. nobody wanted to talk about this case. this shows how well chinese propaganda works. all of these -- they don't even know about the situation. brent: that is a great point, felix lee, thank you very much. the pakistani prime minister is under increasing pressure to resign tonight after the country's supreme court found huge disparities between the wealth of his family members and their known sources of income. sharif has denied any allegations that surfaced as a part of the panama papers datalink. -- data leak. he is being called upon to step down. he was removed as prime minister twice back in the 1990's. the turkish president a

on german television. i introduced him in german. it was my finest hour. [laughter] i only mangled a few words in german. speech,ck to the reagan i knew it was a great applause line. i knew it was authentic ronald reagan. history, as president obama says, has an arc. we would never celebrate that famous speech if in fact, the events of 1989 had not transpired the way they did. the fact of the matter is, as i said before, being too close to an event can make you blind to the bigger reality. think any american official, maybe with the exception of ronald reagan, really thought that mr. gorbachev would tear down the wall. to bee precisely allow it torn down. by the people of east germany. before we run out of time i want to make one other point. while we focus on the reagan speech and we focus on the wall coming down as it did and we focus as we should, on the diplomacy that immediately followed that. the discussions between the then east germans and the officials in bonn and the allies, -- weing the soviets focus on the german-american cooperation which made

they included a battleship. >> here was this big german battleship considered unsinkable. all of a sudden it just rolls over and sinks. that's what the world was looking at. if you think this would immediately convince everybody that, okay, we're going to go to airplanes, that didn't happen. >> billy mitchell's, unwavering and aggressive manner made him more adversaries than allies. he resigned after being court-martialed for insubordination. he died ten years later. of all of his predictions about air power, none is more chilling than the one he made in 1923. in a report he labeled the masterpiece of his career, he told of japan's expansionist ambitions. that 1923 report predicted a pacific war that would begin with a naval and air attack on pearl harbor at 7:30 a.m. the attack came at 7:55 a.m. mitchell was off by just 25 minutes. four days later, the germans declared war on america. >> both of these nations were determined to go to war. and so they were determined to have an air force. we were about two years behind the germans and the japanese, because we hadn't spent

that information was confirmed and confirmed by the german military and the german minister of defense. the chain -- the german pilots were on board the helicopter that crashed, preliminary information says that because was a technical failure. investigations are underway to find out more details about exactly what happened. the news is that it has been confirmed the pilots have died. >> what we know about the german peacekeepg mission? what are its priorities? >> it is a dangerous mission. german soldiers are part of the mission in mali, there are 15 thousand soldiers all to gather. -- altogether. it was approved by the german parliament in january. this mission is described as the most dangerous active u.n. miss and -- mission, because of different rebel groups and the difficult conditions in that country, weather conditions and so on. it is certainly a mission being followed very closely in germany and berlin also in different political groups. that is probably why the news of the two soldiers that died full be considered in berlin by different political figures. >> all right. thank

the german foreign minister he has well summoned the turkish ambassador to the german foreign ministry for addressing down its roots or at least the roots of this latest. awful it's broken out relates back to peter he's a a german national a human rights activist who's been arrested in turkey now the germans are demanding that he be released there also wanting information as to why he was arrested in the first place but that has prompted some very strong words from the german foreign ministry out of the mouth of foreign minister gabrielle he has warned that german companies may not be investing more in the future that there may not be german government investment more in the future for turkey he's issued a warning to turkish bases german business of a department saying it's up to you if you do business there but we must warn you that there is no legal certainty for your investments there may be expropriations we've seen these in the past there in turkey has also issued a warning to personal travelers business travelers as well saying that they're not saying don't go to turkey for what

capital with the german chancellor. they renew their commitment to deepening ties and visited this is, unveiling its newest residence, a pair of giant pandas, from china to germany on loan as a symbol of friendship. >> china's president brought with him two giant panda bears on loan to germany as a token of friendship. they will be housed at berlin zoo. that is the official version. "we believe that relations between nations are rooted in the friendship shared by people, and i hope these pandas will further deepened these relations." in return, the zoo had to fork out more than 10 million euros for the pandas' new home and will have to invest one million more each year, but nobody is talking numbers right now. the symbolism is apparently too overwhelming, even for germany's chancellor, angela merkel. >> we had two charming diplomats here, and i think they will be special envoys for our countries and hopefully bring lots of joy to the people. >> xi jinping arrived in germany monday night and met the chancellor for a priv

german parliament. denounced ameena genocide as having taken place in turkey and turkey responded to that by stopping german or makers from coming to turkish air base in germany now. so this is kind of been an ongoing dispute that has kind of flared up now and again especially in the times when there's been the lections in the two countries so i think a lot of this plays out on the long lines of the eternal internal diamond dynamics in both countries and ultimately. what's new here is that we're now talking about the germans now threatening to back up their criticisms of turkey which should be made by many of the european governments they're trying to back up now or threatening to back up now with european measures not european measures or economic measures now whether that actually comes to fruition is open to debate. you know these are two nato members so we're not going to talk about sanctions. there's been talk of limiting e.u. funding that's going to turkey or certainly i suppose because the german

>> i think german should defend their own principles, which german are different from many other societiesand german should be much rational in defending human rights, even though they did a lot and they helped a lot in the past, i of course recognize that, but you never do enough for humanity under human rights. it's not a mercy, it's a responsibility. if we want the world to become a better world, if we want our business partner to understand the condition of respects, very essential values. >> with all the media attention on liu xiaobo's situation and on his death now, is there hope that maybe the situation, the human rights situation will be better? >> i should say i don't have that hope. china has been going through a lot of much worse situations. the government is very tough, very arrogant in that sense, but nevertheless there's always people defending those, and it doesn't matter how difficult that is. there's always hope. >> thank you very much. brent: that was the artist speaking with our max sender -- reporter on the death of liu xiaobo. we will talk about the idea of unifying th

business it's certainly an option it's still on the table if you take what the german economy minister an energy minister had to say earlier on on thursday we're keeping an eye on this of course it are all over there however u.s. sanctions aren't always very effective let's take north korea for instance south korea's central bank estimates that last year its neighbors economy grew by almost four percent after bouncing back from a downturn in twenty fifteen young and also boosted its exports and continues to develop its nuclear capabilities and of course it's not just north korea that seen a degree of economic success in spite of u.s. sanctions iran too has been forced to diversify its economy and find new trading partners to cope with the measures kalam open explains more on the. the new sanctions targeting russia north korea and iran are not exactly a big hit in europe the head of the e.u. commission decided to give the world a piece of his mind the u.s. bill could have unintended unilateral affect the impact of the e.u. use energy security interests america first kind of mean that eu

by the german mob. of our first war crimes cases so i had that kind of experience with me when i left the army. i took that back to germany when i agreed with some hesitation to go back to germany and help with trials which would follow the international military tribunal. why did you hesitate? was it because you didn't want to...? it's a horrible experience for anyone. germany was associated in my mind with atrocity and terrible crimes, i didn't want to go back to germany. this is horror glorified. nothing heroic about it at all. it shows how human beings can be debased in times of war. so you did go back to germany and you scoured nazi offices and archives and trying to find evidence of the nazi atrocities by german doctors, officers, lawyers, judges and generals. it was quite all pervasive, wasn't it, the people that were involved in the atrocities. the united states in particularfelt the international military tribunal trial against hermann goring was just a camera shot of a small sampling, and in o

we need the germans.sh were particularly keen about not executing some of the german generals that the british army wanted. so the political pressure was such, together with some feeling of amnesty for humanitarian considerations, they stopped the trials, they released the people who were there, and then began to rehire people like wernher von braun, who knew about rockets, and some of his deputies, who came to the united states, as they had the new rocket science. so when the trial that you presided over at nuremberg, as chief prosecutor, was hailed as a success, as some did at the time, it can't really be described as that, if some of those who were found guilty were subsequently released. i was of course disappointed, but i never anticipated or tried to dojustice, in the broad sense, of holding every criminal accountable. it would have been a practical impossibility, so i was careful in the selection of having a man in custody, having a high rank, having good education, having absolute proof beyond any
