farmer who tried to escape and was resisting the collectivization at his farm in east germany, tried to escape to the westnd was caught and imprisoned. i tell the story of his resistance against east germany, different stories like that throughout that try to bring home the color of this rich story. >> yes, and they certainly do. now, one of the things that i think leaps out from your book is a confirmation of the old adage that all politics is local. we tend to think of kennedy and kruschev as these protagonists on a world stage, but both of them were summit to a lot of -- subject to a lot of domestic pressures, they had different groups of advisers telling them different things, and they were also subject to pressures from their own allies. walter looked down, frankly, on the soviet leader who he considered to be an uncultured peasant. so if you could tell us a little bit about the domestic context before we get to the great drama of that year. and when president kennedy came into office, what were the different sets of advice that he was receiving on how to deal with the soviet union? >> let me start w

extremely afraid of reliving the relation of nine hundred eighty nine where there were tension between west germany and east germany and consumers and households in west germany were saying well we're bailing out the east we don't want to do that again we don't want to do that again so it looks like argue america will you very tough job ahead of her of convincing her electors in effect that we need to bail out countries such as greece to be able to keep the single currency that general wants to do that i don't believe so unfortunately we'll have to leave it there because we're running out of time thanks very much indeed for sharing your views thank you is well there's economist alexander ally talking to us from paris. and now let's take a look at what else is happening elsewhere in the world of on blast in turkey has one of the at least seven people explosion happened at a bus station near a busy shopping mall in istanbul it's thought the bomb was planted by someone passing on a motorbike stand what was wrought by terror attack seven months ago when a bomb injured more than thirty people. and ambul

if the soviets moved into west germany the first thing they would do is hit s which would immediately required the united states of america's involvement in resisting the soviet move. we were there a guarantee for europe that the soviet union could not move to the west without bringing down their wrath of the american nuclear power. and i actually had d5 my high-school chums and i used to joke about being sacrificial lambs. the trigger. we had a kind of dark sense of humor about it. we were terrified. i did not realize this until later dammar really, how nuclear dread defined as coming into our adulthood. and so it was not -- again, only later did i understand what i was doing. it was not surprising, therefore, with a vivid sense of the edge of the nuclear abyss. it was not so surprising that as a young man my first impulse to become an air force office of like my father gave way fairly quickly to a second in polls, which was to embrace the life of religion. i thought religion was the opposite of war, and i thought god was the opposite of the human temptation to massive violence. and

we stayed out of the alliance, we stayed far away from france, the u.k., the west is a big thing and germany is isolated by this. also, the fact that obama does not go to germany, although we have been the junior partner in the past, keeping the russians out, bringing the wall down, all of this, it is gone. this is no longer the topic of the 21st century. >> i think it is fair to say the u.s. has gained in popularity in europe under barack obama compared with george w. bush, but is obama doing things differently? >> yes, in tone and style. he has a different way to speak. he approaches global relations with different words. he talks about females, said the sense, not about nations. there is a different style and he tries to give more ownership to other countries and nations. >> that was earlier. thank you for joining us on dw- tv. stay tuned. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org--

size of the population i mean we have a fifty percent bigger than expected country in europe germany and the west it's you know to some extent is insulated because first disease stops you exporting everything so expensive but however you have a massive massive domestic market that's a level missing to some extent and that's what's going on at the moment i mean they're pushing hard to diversify manufacturing or service company. but then in pharmaceuticals in the car industry we're having massive investments. so it's not as bad as it could be it's not as bad as as it is for countries with small populations like norway like australia erica if i go to you i think it's very interesting i've lived here for over twelve years and it was only during the great recession that the. ruble. i'm sorry going back going to inflation the inflation was under control for a short amount of time and now we go again high oil prices and the are you happy with management of the ruble at. the ruble is basically bouncing along we haven't i mean everybody's talking about dutch disease the only problem is that these requires

and very often the notion of the west is deployed by other cultures when they're in a period of transition when they don't quite know what they're happening why my germany was the typical moment where there was a lot of unsettled feeling in the country and people always somehow thought that was american isolation the you know the farthest of the west outside europe so the west is an ideology of of a kind the west is a geopolitical set of interests but now very interesting we have a situation where across the world west and east form a kind of new hybrid culture and therefore it's very difficult to say this is western on this is non western because the relationships have changed in the new global networks we have and i pointed out here and let me jump in and let me read you let me jump in here what do you think about that bill i mean when you hear the word west do you think of an idea do you think of a place a mentality. what can you know i know you're a prolific historian what it what he what he would think of when you hear that word today. very crazy about the concept of the west i think it's very misleading it imposes a kind of continuity over the bro

revolutions because the more countries that revolt against the current germany and this feyerick regimes which are backed by the west. as we are know western countries are deeply involved in trying to bring about regime change for example in countries like iran but the more independent countries around and more and the more revolutions the more western countries are going to be forced to diversify their assets to try to bring about some sort of control over the region and that i think will limit their influence over the region as a whole because the more they're spread out the less the fact of their actions are and of course that if the people come to power iran is a very popular in the middle east according to polls taken by american centers and they will improve relations between iran and these countries so basically the iranians believe that it is the americans who are running scared as you call it and the iranians and the people of the region at large are the winners in our this. was perhaps their side mohammad marandi from the university of tehran thanks very much for sharing your views with this very clear aro
