west germany. they were taught the east germans had actively no responsibility for hitler for the holocaust. that was the responsibility of the capitalists. when the walls had fallen had to completely revise the textbooks in east germany. they did this in conjunction with the west german's so students in both parts of germany had a similar curriculum. the other question is, how do you look on the communist state? you had on the show some sense there are people in the eastern germany that look back on those communist days what is certain about a nostalgia. they forget maybe the worst parts of it and they think maybe it was not such a bad life. it was not as competitive. people related to each other differently. on the question of textbooks, they are constantly rethinking how one approaches this. it's a challenge in the eastern germany for them to understand the full brunt of their own history. >> i want to talk about the birth of the berlin wall. august 12 and 13 is considered the day the wall began

no i don't think so there's this guy isn't going to germany north stream 2 is going to germany that is something that the u.s. is not in agreement with and that many european partners of germany are not in agreement with that's a conflict that i think is more serious politically and economically but so far germany's chancellor merkel is holding of course on that one all right but about in front thank you so much. interpol issue it's a red notice for men the san remo executive colleagues go and stay in a spectacular scapegoat jumped bail in japan earlier this week and flights to lebanon to avoid a trial where they are on charges of financial misconduct and the question is whether go on will face any sort of legal proceedings in lebanon and whether that would satisfy japan. outside goans home in beirut the wait for answers continues for their part lebanese officials say they will respond to an interpol notice even if they aren't obliged to reskill on. i suppose the general prosecution will fully implement the notice and that includes summoning him in and listening to his testimony that a

of the federal republic of germany from day one. but it tests us here and now this germany will only live up to itself if it lives up to its historic responsibility. the soul imposes the toolkits inclusion and peace these promises would also not be forgotten said the council chairman we appreciate very much your promise to fight and they semitism in the races this is a promise this is an obligation this is a duty of did all this really there before get what you have said here today leaders to do it the words you have all of us knew his you know once were long sentence one signature you can decide the people so decide to love and friendship in peace thank you. his was a clear appeal that these promises be kept. with each passing year there are fewer holocaust survivors left to give their personal accounts of the horrors of the nazi regime this raises the question of how germany should keep its culture of remembrance alive such as with the national holocaust memorial and center bolin where you can see behind me how should teachers gen

is germany habitable for jews. well that's the big overarching question but i root for the question i would like to ask is it goes in the same direction as how great is your sense in the sense perhaps in the jewish community that there was a before and after well obviously hello was a wake up call. no one imagined that interest of that scale could take place obviously jewish institutions schools synagogues protected. the fact that helen was so unprotected was a shock in its own right. i happened to be in my own synagogue at that time when the news came out of what happened in holland it's a huge shock it's particularly shocking that it happened in germany i mean we've we've seen a space of attacks all over the world we somehow think that in germany things are different it's shocking that it's going to dine with us because we watch close to bystanders were killed because they happen to be in the vicinity but if there is the government goes into the synagogue dozens of people could be massacred it could be much worse

germany in a private arbitration court. it had already won once it could and would try again in may 2012. in arbitration. the trial takes place in washington although it essentially concerns. the claimants the federal republic of germany respondents. being streamed so the. state. supreme. the arbitrator. defends those of germany compensation claims 4700000000 years. as a consequence. of. their production licenses for criminal. and . they were simply with. the dispute. is right as such. rather this dispute. the manner in which germany has chosen to implement its face of decision. and its failure to prop to protect claimants investments in particular concerns germany's failure to pay any compensation at all. the heart and so most in this protection treaties is to provide protection against expropriation. difficulty however when we talk about indirect expropriation is to draw the line between expropriation on the one. and legitimate government who measures on the other. and there is no easy way to draw this line to make this d

germany. even then, some had reservations about mutual trust. with a world war just over, they had to trust one another, or else begin another war. for berlin, it was to be each power with its sector, but the city would be open to all the powers until germany once again -- berlin once again resumed its role as head of the german state. access to the city for other powers was agreed on through roads, railways, and corridors. makeshift, perhaps, but it was never meant to be permanent. in berlin, they set up a by day,ters where, day officers of the four occupying powers would administer berlin by cooperation, joint agreement as to what was to be done and how. and fr a very dramatic scene of people escaping and the east berlin, the east german police shooting, killing them. it was designed to keep the people from escaping and from the ideas getting into change the country. that whole kind of lifestyle that existed over there at that time, you know, that's the way it was projected to the rest of th

i imagine that germany would be looked to as a big political force in that. michel. well at the same time germany is also very much known for its politics of being rather reserved when it comes to pushing troops on the ground or contributing to a force i think this simply isn't on the cards politically here in germany right now but there is also an awareness with the german chancellor angela merkel who is known for a political brand of trying to create stability that libya is very much the key to this so the question is if this can be pointing at least towards a political process how much germany would be willing to invest more concrete in the end hunted you want to add to that. yes there has been a demand in fact for on the part of the head of the government in libya in tripoli fired off saraj he's been given a serious in a series of interviews in recent days and one of them on said he has repeated is that he has said that kind of peaceful as a monitoring force from the european union is something that he would support very strongly that he would wish for and here i

east germany has struggled to come to terms with its past. this is billions memorial to the murdered jews of europe. in memory of the jewish victims of the holocaust built 60 years after the 2nd world war. 2 words from the memorials title holocaust and she said no reference is made to germany or the 3rd reich and a mission which some people find curious. nonetheless it's an impressive structure covering some $4.00 acres just south of the brandenburg gate. called holocaust memorial that we haven't a memorial of shame but not in terms of the shame of our history but in terms of the shame that it exists it shouldn't be there he called for a revolution of our commemoration practices of $180.00 degrees which in our terms it's. nonsense because also you can try to round the holocaust. degrees it's true the holocaust. further belongs to the arts collective political beauty with its trademark camouflage face paint. the group which lampoons racists took issue with hookers comments even said hitler is not just black and white. it is all he's not just e

euros worth of goods to germany and imported 93000000000. nearly 1000000 jobs in germany depend on trade with china. so both countries are concerned about the ongoing trade dispute between beijing and washington. they're opposed to what they consider unilateralism and protectionism. starting in the late 1980 s. german companies invested heavily in. china which is the return on those investments was 25 percent more substantial than anywhere else and china is now buying a few choice german businesses. but investing in valuable foreign companies is just part of china's strategy it's also about dominance in global trade routes infrastructure and geopolitics. this container ship is on its way to the port of hamburg. the captain knows the route well he's been sailing between shanghai and hamburg for 20 years but during that time his cargo ships have grown ever larger. tug boats are on hand to guide the ship called the libra on the last few kilometers of its journey. the ship is almost 400 meters long and 59 meters wide the elba river which flows t

while the surveillance of journalists within germany is restricted germany's intelligence services may spy as much as they like outside the country they can collect masses of data for example what happens to the information the b.m.d. collects is unknown but in an era of international terrorism intelligence agencies are cooperating more closely than ever before everybody hormones for a little bit more about. contemporary history and laws and specifically in the intelligence right and all of that in government service as a slovenia specifically it is to have been the shaped and played and coordinated by germany that's why it's gaga and other journalists demand the same constitutional protection as their german counterparts they believe the intelligence services surveillance techniques are making journalists' jobs more difficult. investigative journalists already have quite a difficult walk a lot of pressure a lot of threats a lot of legal issues and systemic stanek surveillance. making color or much more difficult because many possible sources they have just too afraid to contact us. 20

about the germany's foreign minister said that germany still wants the iran nuclear deal but it is not willing to simply stand by and watch while iran takes step steps away from the iran nuclear deal i mean it's important and that's probably why one issue that will be discussed is exactly how they can try and make sure that iran complies as much as possible with the iran nuclear deal another issue that is particularly well. peace here in germany has sometimes been developing bones would we sometimes is that idea that donald trump resented that maybe another deal should be discussed a broader deal with iran that not only focuses on its nuclear ambitions but that includes for example its role in the region its wider role in the region and we've heard from several german politicians saying that maybe germany should also try and discuss whether that is a possibility so i do expect that in the discussions between vadim if we do not believe merkel they will also discuss whether another another deal with iran which also includes those regional ambitions could be in any way discussed and inclu
