when not treating in berlin i was supposed to be headed to west germany. that is easy but so that i picked english and started to learn english. and i a learn to a year and a half into my a training and then we are reading this novel. and said make it take to see what you sound like so i've made a tape they believed to be into moscow and interview with to ladies and one was a professor of english. and another was an american who emigrated the they interviewed me separate the to determine if i could learn english well enough and it was day tied, and those rusher professor said no way here is wishful thinking. so the those of the the position that it is too tempting. i spent two years in moscow learning english then a a couple who was well-known as from those to read best buy museum and i really wanted to succeed. >> i do not speak english much better than german. >> to identify with your german name and background? or have you left that behind?. >> in those folks all call me by my germany more german nickname which i hate to but it is so k over there but i

. >> not unlike the reuniting the east germany and west germany and that would present an enormous economic behemoth on the border of china. china does not want to wind up with a democratic capitalistic society sitting on their border. >> reporter: no material change is expected in the near term where leadership changes are expected. they wrote that while chinese leaders have no love for kim jong-un or his weapons, it dislikes the prospects of north korea's collapse. while north korea has conducted several missile tests, the one that occurred this morning crossed over japan's northern tip. the first time since 2009 seen as the fiercest launch yet. i'm seema mody in new york. >>> why is the market not reacting to the north korean missile launch or even the devastation of the historic flooding in and around houston texas? jack avalon joins us to share husband thoughts. always good to have you, jack. welcome back to the program. >> nice speaking with you, sue. >> you know, it is curious to see the resilience that this market seems to be exhibiting in the face of the north korean provocations a

process and completion was slated to go through two thousand and twenty now during the cold war west germany kept most of its gold abroad for fear it could fall into the hands of the soviets if they invaded it was also meant to keep it close to london paris and new york where gold is traded frankfurt now holds just over half of germany's reserve of gold with thirty six point six percent in new york and twelve point eight percent in london. after tracking reserve wages for nearly two years for the first time the federal reserve has released information and where they stand in the united states reserve wages are the lowest wage of which a person is willing to work right now the average american is willing to take around fifty eight thousand dollars a year it's the lowest amount in more than two years so let's find out why joining me now is danielle de martino booth president of money strong and author of fed up and insiders taken by the federal reserve is bad for america look the wages have been tracked since early two thousand and fifteen we're seeing some surprising movement here if we take

keeps interesting when you in mind west germany always rejected confederation proposals because it meant the other as legitimate and because the other state regarded them as a trap. the great leader in north korea's history made very clear in 1973 that if south korea signs off on confederation, it would be "done with." the situation is comparable to a hollywood star promising to marry her stock in the near stalker to marry her in the near future, but still wants a bodyguard to hang around just in case. the u.s. is the bodyguard in this situation. dangerous situation to be in. rishaad: what about domestic ?olitics how does the north korean society and the way it is framed and organized lend itself and project itself onto the international stage? tell us about that linkage. >> north korea is less interested in protecting itself on the international stage and protecting itself on the peninsula. this is not the failed communist state it has been made out to be for the past 25 years. i think that fallacy has been the most disastrous single factor in getting us to where we are at this point. t

which was spontaneous overshadowed the official ceremony attended by the leaders of both east and west germanyresident bush sent a signal to mikhail gorbachev today, there will be no gloating from the white house over the developments in east germany. >> i was in the oval office as part of a pool when the wall came down. >> you don't seem elated and i'm wondering if you're thinking of the problems. >> i'm not an emotional kind of guy. >> bush basically said in effect, i'm not going to poke gorbachev in the eye. >> president george h.w. bush did come into his presidency in the shadow of ronald reagan but maybe we had elected the right man at the right time because he was as internationalist. >> you had had 50 years of the cold war, two visions of the world locked in combat, and then suddenly a whole world of totalitarian rule began to fall. bush was quite cautious. he was really aware that even subtle messages from the united states could indicate all sorts of things. >> when the wall fell in berlin, the questions were numerous. i mean, right away, what's going to become of europe. >> bulgaria

the soviet union didn't want an east and west germany united. >> the chinese said for some time theyon't want north korea to have nuclear weapons but they haven't done anything about it because they thought it was largely our problem. but as they face the prospect of japan getting nuclear weapons and the possibility of preemptive american action that could cause the catastrophic collapse of north korea. many people in china realize carrying this ugly piece of baggage around is not in china's interest. there are aspects that would appeal to china. the americans troops would not be on the yalu river, they would be on the tip of the peninsula. and avoiding mass of any flows of refugees into china. as we work our way through this crisis, the question people should ask themselves in the united states, are you in agreement with susan rice that you can tolerate the north korean regime with the nuclear weapons capability. if you believe what i believe, i wouldn't leave these people with a spare electron. it would be difficult now, much more dangerous for the united states. eric: you raise th

this was before the reunification of east and west germany. i was in berlin to give a talk at a conference and i was struck again by the highly stigmatized sites associated with the nazi regime. the division of the city, the war. the wall in berlin was put up precisely to isolate some of the sites of the nazi power so that people couldn't get to them. it was still so highly stigmatized. that summer was also the time of one of the worst mass murders in american history, the shootings at the mcdonald's restaurant in san ysidro, california. i learned about that while i was traveling. i got to thinking, what happens when these events occur. how do these events affect that emotional bond to space? do people feel a deeper attachment because a loved one may have died at a site, or does it break that attachment? since then, i've been very interested in this idea of how events of violence and tragedy affect this sense of place. our motive, our effective bonds with place. over that period of time, i visited dozens or hundreds of sites, both in the unite

north korea is unified with south korea, when the unification happened in germany, germany, the west germanyhad lots of economic power, and then east germany within eastern bloc had lots of economic power. however, when they got unified, that caused economic pressures. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: so north korea, we will have a massive refugee problem if north korea would fall. and thinking about those refugees, they might make the way to china or russia. they may take the ship to japan. so we would need to be prepared to accept or handle those refugees. and, of course, the united states would take initiative or spearhead some of the activities, and japanese self-defense force is not going, would not going to be the major, primary role, but we will have definitely a logistical support to the united states. >> yes, ma'am, in the back.

, maybe millions of casualties it's nothing whatever like the unification of east germany, and west germany in the 1990s. and china doesn't want the unification to happen. the last thing china wants is a unified korea as an american ally on its border in northeast china. so there's a lot of differences. and i think what we have to do with this is, we've got to strengthen the deterrent in the south. we've got to have dialogue, supported by north korea's neighbors in the north we've got to keep the pressure on and we've got to look for ways to cool the rhetoric and see stability. there's no easy solution to this >> general clark, the rhetoric is one thing but the real issue that changed at least from our knowledge of this, in the last 24 hours, is the idea that there is military intelligence that suggests they can miniaturize the nuclear bomb meaning they could arm a missile. that changes the scenario drastically. where does that leave us what does that mean? and how do we get the time line wrong for so long? >> well, it means that first we need to strengthen our strategic missile defense. th

west. it makes him crazy and that's kind of critics, thecially from the germany, country that has a problemith itkey, he gets angry about and chooses germany of naziism, et cetera. heard,e just german-turkish relations have been deteriorating for a while. this latest measure nonetheless a kind of escalation? are we reaching some sort of point of no return? towell, i think it's going escalate. keep going to escalate, until in germany,ections perhaps beyond, until the 2019 turkey.s in and it's because it benefits erdogan and he's going to as he can,is as much as long as he can, because this rhetoric.t he's conveying a certain message to his constituency in turkey, he's a strong leader and that turkey doesn't bow to europe. empty, of c course. and it will continue unless and the germane and politicians stand up for themselves. >> so this is a tightrope act as said in your opening statement. you said turkey remains an essential partner for the west. but if you listen to this language, it hardly sounds like the alliance is functional. >> ah, no. it's difficult. put things ins perspective. i can

strategy to remove in west and invade soviet union. germany attacked soviet's ally. now berlin had to fight a two-front war. in december of 1941, japan bombed pearl harbor. now moscow, washington and london forced coalition, together with the help of allies, the three great powers won the second word war, but had churchill not kept britain in the war of 1940, there would have been no such war to fight. now, in the second part of this chapter i move back to poland and i discuss someone who perhaps was a bit more like you and me. when i discuss churchill, that's behavior, of course, pardon the expression great men who can hold back the flow of history, but the second part of the chapter is a bit different. i think now occupied poland where the war seems to be lost. was meant to finish high school that year, 1940, her family lost its property to the germans and was force today move warsaw and rent. her father was arrested. one of her uncles were killed in battle and two of her brothers were in camps. a young woman stood out and she thought about others. in late 1940's t

germany. you know, the east german and west german separation ended, and the two countries were unified early in the 1990s. so there's now one germany again, there aren't two, but in the east, which was a communist part of the eastern european block, that party was called the socialist unity party, sed, sozialistische einheitspartei, and that party dissolved, but large numbers of it moved also into this linke. so it's a coalition. in the eastern part--this is something americans tend not to o know for reasons having to do with our newspapers and our media--in eastern europe, in eastern germanyny the mass of people still vote for that party. so that party runs a number of the regional governments. in germany, they don't call them states like we do, 50 states. they call them laender, lands. so many of the laender in eastern part of germany are governed by this die linke party now, and increasingly, they've become powerful in the west. as i said, the last national election, they got 11.9% of the vote. 1 out of 8 germans votes for a party, one of whose slogans is "germany can do better than capiti

right now who simply don't have a vested interest in the future of the west if you look across europe, for instance, the leaders in germanykel in italy. united kingdom and france. all childless. and it's interesting. because the leaders that do have children are far more invested in the future of their nations than the leaders without. and i think there is this -- >> tucker: can i stop you right there? i don't think i have ever heard anybody say anything like that in public, certainly not on television. and i just want to say god bless you for saying that. because there is something to that right there. you do have a different perspective when you have got to think through the next 70 years, right, when you are not going to be there. >> of course. for saying something like that. >> tucker: well, you know what? i'm glad that you did. i'm going to steal that. because it's true. >> it is. >> tucker: it's absolutely true and everyone knows it's true. thank you. thanks for coming on tonight. we hope to see you again. >> my pleasure. truck. >> tucker: president trump got a lot of attention for north korea with fire and fury wit

west. has someone else been prime minister and a lot of people's that someone else would be prime minister, england almost certainly would have made peace with germany in 1940. it was churchill who rallied the british people, who assisted they would not have a agreement and who gave speeches 1940 that pulled the country together mobilized it. the speeches are great political speeches. we remember will fight them on the beaches, this is their finest hour, blood sweat and tears, as are all 1940. we will fight them on the beaches is remarkable because it describes a fighting retreat. if they retreat, we'll fight them on the landing field and in the hills, his describing fighting and retreating from the germans as they come over the country, this was startling stuff to here in england at the time. i think churchill speeches that your although literary equivalent of orwell's greatest essays. >> and yet, after 43 his speeches were far more infrequent, far less passionate, did he run out of gas, what's there too much? >> guest: everyone pretty much runs out of gas. fdr doesn't support survived the war, i think the british public realizes this when they vot
