the first time in more than half a century a party has been able to govern without forming a coalition while her main challenger and leader of the socialist democrats has conceded defeat artie's peter oliver has more now on the elections from burnin. merkel is almost certainly going to be elected for a third term as german chancellor her c.d.u. party on there but they're insisting party the c.s.u. have taken the lion share of the vote speaking to speaking at a party headquarters mrs merkel said it was a super result in fact it's the it's the the exit polls are correct it's the highest percentage that a live taken since one thousand nine hundred ninety so they've done remarkably well it would seem the c.d.u. but those that haven't done very well it seems are the main challenges. in this election the social democrats they have been rather disappointing we've seen some dejected looking s.t.p. campaigners and supporters outside of their party headquarters sort of people putting that down to what was essentially a gaffe prone campaign that was run by. the challenger to angle or merkel that included him at one point giving a middle making a mid

my loyalty to the motherland to the people and uphold the leadership of the communist party of china in the socialist system. but does not sound like democratic reform to me but i would like 2.0 socialism with chinese characteristics is the word that we like our speaker talked about socialism it is nationalistic and socialist this is a fascist government calls itself communist and plays itself that way but in the are fascist. i could go on about this but this line that goes up like a hockey stick is the trade deficit. now zero according to ricardo's theory this should that happen and should self correct but it doesn't. we have been doing this 30 years and i am a free trader in free marketer but you don't do business with criminals and expect to get a good deal. for 30 years the difference between our revenues and cost have been negative. what do you call that in a business school? recall that a loss.

socialist"? >> there was one that was not fleshed out in the other books that is what i did. socialism is more than a political party more than just a name that we call people that we disagree with the word that is fairly modern that shows bad idea is that they are a result of humanity. we just happened to call it socialism. >> host: what are the seven pillars of socialism? >> guest: the all-powerful ruler. as i went down to steady socialist societies and cultures i found the seven common ideas a group individuals. society and set to be divided in the classroom there is always the elitist class and get the favors and the hell than the money that was the second characteristic. in rulers promised things in common we will make it fair and take from the haves and give to the have nots. we will achieve their nests -- fairness we must regulate from the top and they all do that so regulation is number four. number five is done with force. comply or your desk. 6,000 years of history that has always been there of course, number six is the control of information nato allies if they are the only ones that have the permission t

socialist chile. after the coup, her communist party membership landed her in prison. >> on the fifth of october, 1973,@half past two in the afternoon, soldiers arrested me and my parents house. they took me to the police station. i was tortured. that was common in those days. >> the attack on the presidential palace and subsequent overthrow of the government changed her life forever. communist east germany offered asylum to many who were persecuted by the dictator. marie antonia was one of them. when they arrived in east germany, she and her daughter stayed at the albert einstein house near berlin. now, after nearly 40 years, she is revisiting her first german home. she came to east germany with the expectations, hoping to find the political system she had lost in chile. she is still grateful she was given asylum. >> i came to east germany as an immigrant. they brought us to the town. we got german lessons. they found jobs for us. kindergarten. >> these photos take her back to her time as a research assistant at a berlin university. at t the 1980s, she try to get a job back in chile, but couldn't. >>

i swear my loyalty to the people to uphold the leadership of the communist party of china and the socialist system. that doesn't sound like democratic reform to me but i don't know. i would like to point out something. socialism with chinese characteristics and we talked about national socialism. china is nationalistic and socialist. this is a fascist governmengovernmen t. it calls itself -- but they are essentially fascist. so we are supposed to get an export market. i could go on about this as an economist but this thing here this slide the ghosts appear like a hockey stick is our deficit with china. according to -- this shouldn't happen. this should self directing a number of different ways but it doesn't. we have been doing this for 30 years and i'm a free trader and a free marketer but you don't do business with criminals to get a good deal so for 30 years the difference between our revenues and our costs of doing business with china have been negative. what do you call that in a business? you call it a loss. that doesn't seem to make sense. a ford unfortunately some of my conservative

party. little did they know. the mainstream seems to say we need another mainstream guy to win it. >> look at australia. australia had two elections where socialist won. and what the liberal party -- conservative party -- they are reverse. neil: water turns opposite way so do politics. >> liberal party in australia went along with it, they changed their policies they went along with global warming de emphasize the issues they did all that folk moss come aroun -- folks sd do this in new york and the coast they lost, they nominated this guy who catholic, i'm just saying, and he his big tax policy change, was to help the family. he ran against global warming, that australia of the more bought into than this president was, and he stood up for a tougher immigration policy, right down the line where rick santorum was, and emphasis iimportant of families in the economy and won a historic victory in australia. neil: norway conservative leadership now, sweden, conservative for them. germany. >> the point is -- >> what is going on? >> american public is not stupid. we nominate people who don't believe whether they say they believe, they see, that i have to

parties. for instance, the mensheviks under socialist revolutionary for these big left wing of their party's and they told our ambassadors and i want to get out of here. this is a big mistake coming are killing us. we cannot oppose bolsheviks you heard enough and the opposition of forcing us into their camp. >> host: carl richard, how about was this at the time in 1917? >> guest: at the time of the intervention, people do we have troops there and nobody knew why. wilson did put out a statement which is very confusing statement before the armistice. so he's talking about all kinds of things. alleged german war prisoners running loose in siberia. very improving state then he put out. all these people know we have soldiers, but they don't know why there were these senators, republican isolationist senators who are making speeches, saying what are we doing there, mr. president? of course they took poetical advantage. there are also they are thinking, you know, we have no reason to be there. that actually forced wilson to come up with some innovative financing because congress did not allocate money.

they track down the founder of the first polish workers party, languishing in a garage. monuments to socialists are not exactly well looked after in today's poland. >> we have to make a big effort. the artist had to motivate us because we were a bit fed up at that point. even when it was pouring rain, he did not lose sight of his artistic vision. it was a question of honor. we thought if we could not manage the socialists, we were total wimps. >> the whole thing was crazy, standing there in the rain with a bunch of enthusiastic athletes. 50 men in the mud -- it was no picnic, but it was worth it to watch them do a day of work and see how much they believe in the idea because they are not being paid. there is nothing in it for them. they are doing it for idealistic reasons, for art. >>tiful thing to behold. >> the project goes by the name heavyweight history. an uplifting experience for everyone involved. but this five-ton ronald reagan proved a tougher challenge than a socialist. the labs could not do it. instead, they turn their hands to the statue of polio brothers directed in 1945 known roug

the lack of support of east german population for the socialist union party. this, ultimately, is what drove the gdr government to build the wall and tear it down. there's a precise and engaging account of what's known as the second berlin crisis. the first of which was the berlin blockade and air lift. the second crisis was presip kateed by cruise ships ultimatum that west berlin be a free and mutual city. everyone understood what that met meaning the western allies should evacuate the city and soviets and gdr would move in. the crisis reached a climax with the close closing of the border, but did not end there. that's kennedy's visit to west berlin in 1963, merely two years after the building of the berlin wall. the bookends with the fall of the wall. the closing and opening of the border are the dramatic bookends. the intervening chapters recount with fascinating detail the moves and countermoves of the western and soviet allies. the wartime alliance fractured beyond repair and ease caylating cold war. equally fascinating, in the accounts are diverging inte
