hungary's government is eager to increase the number of international students. this year, it set up a new scholarship program for foreign students targeting asians. >> this way we establish our place in the european landscape, in european higher education. we can keep improving, maintaining international relationships, plus this program generates an extra income for the university. >> reporter: having succeeded in studying in the foreign system, graduates are well-positioned to flourish anywhere. nhk world, budapest. >>> people in argentina's capital buenos aires are cleaning up after storms left severe flooding. thousands of residents were forced to evacuate their homes. meteorologist robert speta joins us now with the latest weather conditions. >> yes, let's start off with this storm system, which has really been lingering for nearly a week now. it's been bringing torrential amount of rainfall. you can see on the satellite picture, you have your low pressure center off the coastline. that's starting to plof off to the east. it's really that front associated wi

. >> my question is regarding hungary. seems like it's the new colombia, or the things happening there right now are the things you were mentioned about colombia. so, if you can shed some light on the situation some what the road ahead for hungary. i would say column colombia is the new turkey, and they're part of the democrator club. hungary is an eu member, but the government there -- the leadership has basically said we have our own conception of the -- of state interests, and we are going to emulate russia more than we're going to emulate the e. u., so your seeing a real crackdown on media and civil society. there was a recent protest, as i'm sure you're aware, bat new internet tax. it's really interesting. no one was really reacting to all these threats and attacks on journalists but when they started taxing the internet, that got people agitated. goes to my point about linking the struggle for media freedom to the broader struggle for freedom of expression. but hungary is absolutely going the wrong direction. we just

poland and hungary have rapidly moved but only after years of economic evolution. east germany is faced with making the same kinds of changes, literally overnight. there is a misstep in east germany now and the result could be cataclysmic. hopefully the east germans' mentors will counsel common sense. we should also be clear and prudent in our own. there is no equivocation in our goals. we want freedom for east germany and its people. we wanted a positive announcement to be the real thing. we want to the berlin wall torn down and all other barriers to the free flow of people removed. we hope that east germany's communist cleave will transform into a new form of government. we should not do anything at this point which might needlessly add fuel to the fire. the issues of the long-term future are critical issues, issues which will be affected by what will happen in these next days and weeks. issues that we must think about now. they are not issues were heated rhetoric right now. german history is at a critical crossroads. profound changes now lie ahead. but for the m

"hungary" for more? well, grab a seat, my friend.nd sometimes raw, budapest, hungary.

and hungary is a great example a lot of investment from western europe in getting hungary to support democracy in its neighborhood, and that did not work. and we see that now for the balance of the neighborhood. but i think what is more important here is that what the u.s. can do instead is invest in organic bottom-up civic border cooperation. and political corresponding cooperation and local government solidarity and cooperation. that brings me to my second point which i think part of the reason we talk is we have a different vision what democracy promotion should be like. for me democracy promotion is about solidarity, among actors who are interested in making this countries more democratic ones. oftentimes, that kind of solidarity is possible and especially important when both sides of the donor recipient are struggling with challenges to democracy at home. so to have that in central and eastern europe, at the moment, with a moment of disillusionment is not the moment to discourage democracy promotion. in fact, we've seen the efforts be activists or politicians who are pro-democra

so we talked about hungary, but we sort of danced around it. the prime minister gave a speech where he said, we want a liberal democracy. we're tired of this liberal democracy stuff. so it would seem that western democracy efforts in hungary have failed, let's just say that. how did they fail? what did we do wrong? i realize the answer may be a long one but let's try to boil it down. >> well, first of all, we should also be clear about when the prime minister was announced liberal democracy, what he was actually doing was denouncing democracy. he kind of attacked parts of liberalism here and there, but what he was attacking was democracy. i think that it was basically the stuff of my presentation, but i will say one more thing -- >> sum it up for us. one sentence. >> well -- >> he's an academic. >> there's too much -- >> two sentences. >> i will say one more thing about the presentation. a famous historian said history is like a pendulum, essentially. we are too much pro western. we look up to the west. we are kind of hurt by never getting to t

but hungary is absolutely going in the wrong direction. we just sent a mission to hungary led by our cpj board member, who is hungarian american and, obviously, knows the country well. her report was very chilling. she wrote about it an op-ed for the times, but this is a country that is an eu member but it is rejecting eu values. >> hi. joel, you mentioned earlier that the chinese government actually has used internet to cut a better serve its stronger hold on media, but how would you see the spread of internet and the democratization of the information in the whole of china which actually is hoping spreading the news? and do you think that in the end would somehow change? >> that's what i write about is a battle in china over the internet optimists. the governments of vision of the function of the internet in chinese society. so the question is, i think the leadership in china definitely embraces connectivity and they definitely understand that this is critical, critical economic engine and the also feel that this technology can serve wha

and first, they had to go to hungary and then hungary in order to get the issues there opened up the border to austria knowing, of course, that east germans who went to hungary had a chance to go to west germany. then pressure built up in czechoslavakia and prague. people stormed to the german embassy in prague in order to have a way to get to the west. and this pressure was building up a long time in east germany, and so the tragedy after the fall of the wall was, of course, a lot of young people were leaving, going to the west, having a better future there ininstead of helping to build and rebuild east germany. >> between 1961 and 1989, about 5,000 fled from east germany successfully into west berlin. the wall is actually two walls divided by about 180 feet and there is what's called the death barrier that included mines and guard dogs and watch towers that shot and killed those who tried to escape. we are looking at scenes from the early 1960 did and much of this will also be on c-span 3s american history t.v. jay is joining us from lorraine ohio, ohio, good morning. caller: good

you can trace it through the berlin air lift, the soviet invasions of hungary and prague, the deployment of soviet intermedian change nuclear weapons in europe. this started out as a characteristic cold war crisis with uncertainty about exactly what would happen, risks because europe was awash with nuclear weapons. we really didn't know from one minute to the next quite how it would play out, what the soviet reaction would be. we received messages from mr. gorbachev around midnight in london time. that was never a good sign in the cold war, a message from a soviet head of state at midnight, usually it meant trouble of some sort. the immediate thought was not so much about what would follow but how do you contain and regulate and stabilize what is happening at that moment? >> brent, what did it look like from the white house because the stakes there must have been even higher. any miscalculation by the white house could have had catastrophic consequences. >> that's absolutely correct. when we came into office in 1989, there was a lot of ferment in eastern europe, and we decided we wanted

there were refugees towards prague and hungary.e and more pressure for the leaders of the s.e.d. they tried to oppress and imprison but in june 1989 the pulit bureau of the authority was chinese behavior in tianamen square but even that couldn't damp down the people in g.d.r. 10,000, hundred thousands which would protest repression and bad economics. people were scared when they went to monday's demonstrations and they were told where they would have to go if they wouldn't come home, the parents. with new faces they tried to change the corner, but it didn't work. flowers and instead other things they wrote. it should be harassment and this should be finished. no more of this ahead. all if there is something wonderful about that time, there were so much creativity within the people. it was about to get liberty, freedom back to be a city and not suppressed to be free that a human being can be. in '53 it started with tanks was killed then. 36 years later couldn't be stopped. liberty, freedom wins the world pushed away. but how many en

but there were reports are looking to our staff from hungary.s that right that were as labour want to that's what they gave this country for 13 you can the message to the people is this government that there are jobs in this country for people for north hampton and we be a bacon short of a platter if we forgot that. >> i think the case of green corps shows that what you need is not just proper immigration control both within the eu and outside the eu, but you also need to see welfare reform so it's not an option for people to live on welfare when they could work. you also need to see as we're doing education reform so young people are leaving our schools and able to take on the jobs that are available. a proper sanctions regime is actually part of a strong immigration policy. >> in december last year a prime minister visited my constituency and promised there would be 200 extra key morning commuter seats by the end of the year. last week, i met the train operator who said that they don't know how many seats there will be and they don't know when

in may, hungary opened its borders, allowing movement between warsaw pact and nato countries. east germans fought to move west. creating a crisis. on october 18th, the leader was forced to resign. the following month anti-government demonstrators reached a peak. as 1 million rallied in east berlin. five days later the east german government lifted travel restrictions. within hours, demonstrators were celebrating. on september 3rd, u.s. president bush and gorbachev announced an end to the cold war, and the following year east and west general assembly re-un ited, something barely conceivable when the process began a year earlier. to talk more about the fall of the u.s. wall, let's bring in timothy fry, from colombus university. and a professor of global leadership, history and public policy at the university of texas. did the moment mark the end of the cold war? >> i think when the berlin wall came down, it was a symbolic moment. it was clear to everyone that fundamental political and economic change was on the way. it's important to bear in mind that the culmination of politic

mean as i said earlier, monarchs all over the continent were dishing out charters as the golden bull hungary, all these things, all promising to do all these things. the thing that made the difference and it became of course the core for the colonists in 1765 when the stamp act was passed was that there had to be link, as it happened between the king raising money i.e. taxation when he couldn't live off his own resources and calling a council. and it's not representative government at all, but in the clauses of magna carta itself there's a clause called the scutage clause. would you all like to know what the scutage clause is? it comes from the latin for shield. when you owned a lot of land you were entitled to say to your villain or your inferior, you bring 3 soldiers, i'm off to fight a war. well, bringing 3 soldiers who were you know the old boy on the farm who got a bad back, somebody got a billhook and somebody got a rake wasn't very clever, so he said we'll change this. just give us some money, we'll employ the mercenaries who know how to fight. and in magna carta itself the scutage cl
