because i'm talking here about often in west and germany. that's, that was one of the 1st major cities in west germany to be liberated by the allied forces. and it was off to the 2nd world war that a group of citizens in often decided to join forces on coal for european unity. and that's how this prize was actually launched was born and it's been going on with a few interruptions since 1950. and there's a long and very important list of people and institutions that have received this, this price very important for, for europe. so from his own monet to conrad and now i had much call, i could give you a very long list of names. so that's why this price is seen as very symbolic. and also very important when it comes to european unity and the fact that we have now, the ukranian president representing the ukranian people receiving specifically this award in a city like a 100, which was the 1st major 16 west germany to be liberated by allied forces is significant from a european perspective, it is an important moment and i think this moment is com

east germany built a wall between east and west berlin. that's light is eastern dimension piece. you'll find the item the most. i found it to be kind of less the best possible. one behind berlin was split into an east germany or guns to shoot any one trying to flee friedrich strauss. so was one of the few border crossings. it's where americans spying couple. jeffrey and beatrice ship. it's crossed between west and east berlin to meet with members of the ministry of state security, extremities, intelligent service, as well as the styles, the countries secret police to use they were the country's top spies. the high profile target was the chancellor of the federal republic of germany, the department one a they were specialized in getting information from the chancellor's office. in this concert room. we were shot the we were train the spines and so we had, we knew we had a lot of work the 3rd day which is fine on the highest political figure in the country, making them some of the most dangerous agents of the postwar period. the form of frederick strauss a check point between east a

break comes around to 1947 when it was obvious that the nation so going in different directions in west germany, east germany was the beginning of the cold fall. and that's the point also where the intelligence collection started to get more intense with the lee and was now in island surrounded by socialist east. germany. eastern and wisdom house crushed the borders, but the representatives were allowed to move really between sectors testing for spies. berlin was the only city where this situation could be seen. and obviously this geo political situation offered a lot of possibilities for all 4 intelligences. and therefore, the i would say building is the capital code for the journey through secret island in search of spies. the dock side of the global city. we meet for them, a spies with incredible stories. we were told to be careful look around, but there was no special training now to recognize that you were to the high school gym in t a t thought to spite of filling fixed. i know more important in 1961, the cold war heats up dramatically east gym and he built a wall between east and west be

it's important also because often in west and germany was actually one of the 1st big cities in west germany that were rated by the allies. and then in 1949, a group of citizens from him made this call for european unit 2. and that's how the prize begun the 1st prize was actually awarded 1950. and it's a very long and very prestigious, least list of people who have received this. this price from head would call to corner out of knowledge on monet to poke francis. it's a very long list. i'm going to michael, if for much i'm a johnson as well. so the fact that now, what are the marriage that landscape representing the people of ukraine is also receiving this price is seen as a, as a very big moment. not only for the prize, but in particular, also for the creating presidents that you're putting in people as well. has it before 8 eastern german politician or figure one that price or is this really assess? no, you probably mean eastern european or in fact uh, last yes, but i want to have the one that award from bella roost. so in fact, that's also something that might be interesting there.

russia was divided into russia and ukraine, who independent nations, except that time, just like west germany, off the wall was absolutely smother with capital and technologies and investments. and started became a in, in, in the big russian slab a nation king. and i to strategy is going wrong. nobody expect that you're trying to become about as well, margaret, a crazy as, as all of it this germany was and the prospect so piece are indeed very difficult. yeah. and freak out. what i'm standing up is there is a new initiative. the african planned for the new prime, it is made by the southern husband, several rama falls up. and there are many, many hopes that turning around to this new initiative. so you know, could with all this or both. so in guy on, could this be a tax? it combined nate, to, just to intimidate russia. you know, the talk of world war 3, we're getting ready, just to intimidate russia is russian likely to backbone? honestly um, well propaganda aside from roger, go a wolf as pots so many spect and, and so on. on the fields of people, especially the photos and the population of th

east germany built a wall between east and west berlin. that's like indian because he's going to mention, he's got biden's item the most. i found it to be kind of this the best possible one behind 1000000000 was split into an east germany or guns to shoot any one trying to flee. friedrich strauss that was one of the few border crossings. it's where americans spike couple, jeffrey and beatrice ship. it's crossed between west and east berlin to meet with members of the administrative, state security, extremities intelligence service, as well as the styles, the country secret police to use they were the country's top spies. the high profile target was the chancellor of the federal republic of germany, the of the department of one a. they were specialized in getting information from the chancellor's office. and this cons. we were shot the, we will train the spawns and so we had renew. we have a lot of work that day, which is by, on the highest political figure in the country, making them some of the most dangerous agents of the postwar period.

with technical drawings, intelligence data, and so on . , which would dealt with russian issues west germany already a member of nato by that time, of course, gelend maintained close ties with the cia and personally the head of the dullesos , one of his tasks was to select suitable people for the north atlantic alliance , he did the dirty work with a bang, they needed e specialists who could counteract . first of all, it is better for the soviet union than uh, nazi criminals of what kind of specialists, probably, it was difficult to find in the united states of america, firstly, they were distinguished by their cruelty and professionalism. uh, for the destruction of people, but at the same time they had material on them; to a certain extent, they were afraid of the publicity of these pages of their lives. here in these conditions. they were easily hired, including in nato structures, let's go through the individual individuals briefly. hanspeidel. he was an ardent supporter of hitler, commanded the headquarters of the occupying forces in france, later fought on the eastern front and headed t

the cold war heats up dramatically east. germany built a wall between east and west berlin. that's like indian because he's going to mention piece of golf items item to the host. i found it to be coming. let's the best customer when buying. building was split into an east germany or guns to shoot any one trying to flee friedrich strauss that was one of the few border crossings. it's where americans find couple jeffrey and beatrice ship. it's crossed between west and east berlin to meet with members of the administrative, state security, extremities intelligence service, as well as the size of the country secret police. the years they were the country's top spies. the high profile target was the chancellor of the federal republic of germany, the, to the department of one a. they were specialized and getting information from the chancellor's office. in this concert room. we were shot the we were train the spines and so we had, we knew we had a lot of work in the day, which is fine on the highest political figure in the country, making them some of the most dangerous agents with

they might, could work for west germany. the, the ship it says lived and spied in west berlin, but travelled regularly to the store as a collective in east berlin. a co village apartment was used to relate instructions and give them a place to have lunch and chat. homeless were not for the of the high profile spies . they we've met for 13 years, always in that apartment. we weren't friends, but we worked well together. we became a team and developing our legend. so if we would ever, because we had it all clear, they gave me virtually fry on to this side, what information would be useful. and then i develop projects for my sources and sent them to get that. we got information about discussions within the government and especially differences whenever it covered and has a policy. there's always differences of opinion. and that was important to know. while the ship it says with active agents, the tools had to wait in the us. they were to live under false identities. on notice on the scene, we were out of cover vitamins in need

is in the former east germany, which traditionally has not had as much industry as the former west germany. yeah, in fact, micro like 20 so semi conduct industry was at the heart of industrial production, informed judy all times already here in the area. and in the mid ninety's we have seen huge settlements, also picked by public financing of by the time siemens and mt, which are now in finance and global foundries. and they really, why if the economy quote of, of the region, which is the very large abbey after, isn't in crew, it's also other major cities in saxony and this indeed, and really great driver of our economic growth in the past. yes, if not decades. alright, that's frank burton bag, director of silicon saxony. thank you very much. thank you. over to australia now the country wants to extinguish babying the government announcing new rules to limit the use of ease. cigarettes, saying companies are marketing those vices to nonsmokers. take a look, cherry blackberry lemon, pineapple ice. they're not ice cream flavors. they're vapor flavors. well now, australia wants to remind beek

states to understand that yes indeed we could with a positive vision and economic support make west germany into a democratic peace-loving but -- that's exactly what we did. it was only western germany. we were not able to do it throughout the entire country. we tried, as i said. general marshall spent six weeks in moscow trying to bring about unification of germany in march and april but that's what -- we are unable to do it so we had to limit the scope of our objectives. in ukraine likewise we are going to have to limit the scope of our objectives at least in the first phase of reconstruction. as i said almost certainly crimea will remain in russian hands. unfortunately we, it is likely that the eastern part of ukraine will still remain under russian occupation. there are creative means that we can use to leverage financial western financial aid to ukraine. one of the topics that's being discussed very controversial is the possibility of using russian central bank assets that have been frozen abroad. we're talking about roughly 300 billion dollars to reconstruct ukraine but they are very

west germany by that time was already a member of nato, of course, gelend maintained close ties withia and personally the head of the dullesos, one of his tasks was to select suitable people for the north atlantic alliance , he did his dirty work with a bang, specialists were needed there who could counteract. first of all, the soviet union is better off than, uh, nazi criminals. in what specialists, probably, in the united states of america it was difficult to find. firstly, they were distinguished by their cruelty and professionalism. e for the destruction of people, but at the same time they had material; to a certain extent, they were afraid of the publicity of these pages of their lives. here in these conditions. they were easily hired, including in the structures of nato, let's go briefly through individual personalities. hanspeidel. he was an ardent supporter of hitler, commanded the headquarters of the occupying forces in france, later fought on the eastern front and headed the headquarters of the army group south. then, of course, it turned out that he allegedly did not beli

other countries to comply with the so called western advised, this will serve to preserve the west germany essentially according to the office and putting this review, i've no far aimed at, you know, continuing these old what are all leaving at the expense of the countries. he accused the west, the directory of exploding africa and many other parts of the world. and he said that the many countries do not want to go on with us. as before. meanwhile, kenya is president, is seeking to establish a pan african payment system to help ditch the bullets us dollar from global commerce. we are all struggling to make payments for goods and services from one country to another because of differences in currencies. and in the middle of all these, we are all subjected to a dollar environment. we do not have to look for dollars. our business men will concentrate on moving goods and services and leave the arduous task of currencies to a fraction bank. and as president has urged his african counterparts to mobilize central and commercial banks to join the new framework, launched last january, the so called

the case, let's look at the history of the alliance and we will see that, for example, the same west germany was taken into the alliance when it was divided part of the territory was occupied by such as the dpr and the lpr at one time by the german democratic republic, or rather by the soviet union with this juicy and let's remember, for example , the same turkey and greece that were accepted in order to, well, this is from a strategic point of view and in order to maintain a political democratic regime and a--and to some countries , for example, which are led by a colleague, because finland's participation in the union adds to our security and strength , there were also other reasons why this meeting was historic leaders defense departments spoke about military planning and further integration. the era of collective defense has now come. and we are ready for it . secretary general jens toltonberg spoke at the beginning of this meeting about the transformation of our union during the last decades in recent years and we see that the changes are significant, but a lot still needs to be done, a

but it's fleet had been played by maintenance problems to make much of the west. germany and belgium was shocking. the nuclear plants down there, belgium agreed to a 10 year extension in germany a few months. but altogether, europe's climate goals mean it would have to move away from coal quickly. and in theory quite a completely by 2030. instead you've been 7 percent more coal in 2022. then in 2021. or that was the 1st big surprise of europe's energy crisis. culls come back, turned out to be way smaller than predicted in the final quarter of that. yeah. the 26 co tons brought back to the emergency standby. when you run an 18 percent capacity, 9 of the one use the tool. so while you're defined a bit more cold, it was wind and solar debt. so the biggest varies in 2022. they were what made up for most of the shortfalls not cope. so that is the king of power markets around divert and replacing the old king, which we suppress cold europe didn't just turn to the fossil fuels to replace russian gas. it was like sped up, it switched to clean energy in 2022. the laid down most solar panel put

and in part of the bow tie, it was from at that time west germany. it was called the day of coverage to nation . so late in 1985 on the forty's, and they rustled me off the end of the 2nd world war in a president. reset from vice, that guy said that this is a day of liberation. so also be best germans could then feel liberated from fascism. so who liberated us? that was to solve yet. i think whatever you have at the moment, the heated debate and dr. many about is better the ukrainians, the better defenders of the us all or by the russians, the better defenders i'm liberated us, but we all know it was to solve. yeah, it's altogether. and at that time, it didn't matter whether you were russian or georgian or from kegan stone or ukraine and left the s lamp stony or whatever on the eve of the 9th of may, can memorize and rush of all to use it more. if an option that has sat down with the russian ambassador to israel, who is coming in the memory, oh, the chickens here, like, uh, uh, yes, of the 2nd floor floor and the is great. but there is a gloss. is ou

and was, and i think that's important to remember was the 1st major sits in west germany that was liberated by allied forces. i mean, it was off the war and did actually only a few years after the war ended that a group of citizens and often came together and really made an appeal for european unity. and that's how this prize the dining has been awarded since 1950 with a couple of interruptions. but if you look at the list of people, the list, the basic fusions that have received this charlemagne award. it's wrong and it's important. pope frances form a german trans that i'm going to merkel for my job insurance that i call in about an hour or so on monday, hadn't, would called box stuff how that i could go on until we actually do, you know, i mean, but is exactly it is this context and i think uh when it was announced, which i think it was already in december. last year's was the end of this of the last year the the, the charlemagne prize 2023 would be awarded to the ukranian oppressed event. it's active. i mean, the class how, how this is from the check was how big you still know in europe

the case, let's look at the history of the alliance and we will see that, for example, the same west germanyded in the ranks of the alliance when it was divided

they also wrote a letter the day before yesterday about the fact that since west germany became a memberlly in the conditions of a divided country. well, you understand so in general otgdr frg and so on so why can't it be accepted , for example, already at the vilnius summit . likewise, ukraine, here are all these publications with such fantasies, and these are such poles of plus-minus eh, is it really civil society thinks so differently in the united states, or are these some references to unknown sources? you know, in our country , there is so much that is published in our country that there are so many different opinions, so many different experts. it seems to look at all these publications, but if he is talking specifically about joining nato, i listened to my friend yuriy razkin's speech now on your channel, i agree with him on many things, yes, in general, i agree with everything the problem is that that nato cannot to accept ukraine if water actions are actively taking place and there is an active change of control over the territories, it’s just that this has never really happene

world wars thatt powered allied efforts and i'm sitting in the no man's land between east and west germany right now with his convention center was builtco wh the wall outside. your thoughts are not lostti o me. anything else you would like to share? >> i willou continue to so, i don't try to explain what we do in north dakota is important to us, i trymp to explain why it's important to them. fill up the car, like north dakota. if you like to buy or gas at the store, it's important to you. turn the light switch and light come on, the court is pretty important to you. opportunity to allow u.s. companies and ingenuity to leave the world to the 21st century energy mix and we should be happy and going full front ahead. we are in a weird placece right now because strategic things that have happened between ukraine and russia and the rest of the world is kind of caught on to natural gas and what it looksus like, we just have to gt d.c. to act alone a little quicker. >> words to the wise, thank you for your time today. we appreciate it and know how busy you are. i've been here state several times

tanks will arrive by the united states, the training of ukrainian tankers has already begun in west germanyis interesting if everything will appear somewhere at the same time , as he tells about september. well, in september, something completely different may happen you know the situation in general for the russian federation, all these expectations of these planes and expectations of what may still appear, eh well, of course , they are driven to grief and cause well, they are directly eh, i would say the drama of the russian profanists 16 it doesn't matter that they are old there not among the platforms no , this is a platform of course and the amount of weapons it carries is 9 tons so to speak we are let's immediately get a sense of what's there, i've already been everywhere abroad, i've already seen all the cities, i've liberated the entire diploh, in fact, no one believes us what are our red lines ? anyway, they never use anything. well, anyway, this attitude has become nothing. it’s okay. we were afraid for so long, that’s why now f16 went, you already understood what you are. what a

and perhaps it was also part of unification, bringing the special relationships to west or east germanyest and eastern europe together. and now i think we are in a phase where we are much more contributing to global issues. yeah. and what's interesting about the humboldt forum is that your main collection is focused on ethnological research and study and collection. and there are thousands and thousands of artefacts and objects here from all over the world, many of them collected by european colonialists. now, is it time for you in this institution to recognise in the 21st century there is something deeply troubling about this collection and many like it in the great museums of the world? first of all, i would like to say i'm speaking here as the general director of the humboldt forum. we are hosting, we are housing, two museums here in our building — that is the ethnological museum and the museum of asian art. but, legally, they belong to another institution — the state museums in berlin. but you, if i may say so, are the hugely influential custodian... yes. ..of this collection. 0ur i

the case, let's look at the history of the alliance and we will see that, for example, the same west germany was was taken into the ranks of the alliance when it was divided into a part of the territory occupied by the dpr of the lpr at one time by the german democratic republic, or rather by the soviet union of this satellite. and let's remember, for example, the same turkey and greece, which were accepted in order to, well, this is from a strategic point of view and in order to maintain a political democratic regime and a-ah and to some countries, for example, like hungary, there are now claims that there are problems with the rights of people with the rule of law and they are not such reliable partners and allies of other nato members , because i say that the most important thing , by and large, is that they do not meet the standards, formally yes, but the most important thing is actually political expediency, which, let's say, is based first of all, on strategic calculations, turkey was important in order to hold the straits, to be actually close to critically important regions, and to c

note that ukraine can be taken into nato even with occupied territories, as was the case with west germanythe publication writes with reference to western experts that germany is an example of how nato accepts a country with significant and unresolved territorial issues. the same thing can happen to us. do you think it is possible and do we receive such a signal in vilnius? well, in fact, the key to the signal is the invitation of ukraine to nato membership on the summit in vilnius is in washington , that's why the position of the white house is so crucial there for other member countries of the alliance in our communication already with berlin and paris, they clearly nod heads to washington therefore, it is necessary to explain to us president biden that this is a unique chance and for the alliance it is an incredible opportunity for him as for the president of the united states of america by doing everything to ensure that ukraine receives an invitation to the summit in vilnius and already next year when it will be over in washington, we started talking about all the ratification procedu

and i'm literally sitting in the former no man's land between east and west germany right now. this is where this new convention center was built. parts of the wall sitting outside. your thoughts are not lost on me. anything else you'd like to share? rep. armstrong: i continue to sell the way i sell north dakota in d.c. i don't explain why what we do in north dakota is important to us, i explain why it is important to them. if you like to fill up your car, you like north dakota. if you like to buy wheat or corn at the grocery store, north dakota is important to you. if you like to turn the light switch and the lights come on, north dakota is pretty important to you can we have the opportunity to allow u.s. companies and u.s. energy in the energy mix, and we should not shirk that responsibility, we should be happy. we are in a weird place right now because of really strategic things that happened between ukraine and russia. the rest of the world has kind of caught on to natural gas and caught on to what this looks like. we just have to get d.c. to act a little quicker. brigham:

and in part of the bow tie it was from at that time west germany. it was called the date of cover to lation. so late in 1985 on the forties and they bustling me of the end of the 2nd world war review a presidency screen showed from vide seka. leon said that this is a day of liberation. so also be best germans. could them feel liberated from fascism, so who liberated us? that was to solve hits? i think whatever you have at the moment, the heated debate in germany about is whether the ukrainians are the better defenders of the us, all or by the russians. the better defenders simply provided us, but we all know it was to solve the, it's all to get out. and at that time, it didn't matter whether you were a russian or georgian or from kegan stone or ukraine and left for you, as well as telling me of whatever the chinese foreign ministry has hit. how hit us involvement in conflicts around the world. it recalled how nato forces bomb, the chinese embassy and the former yugoslavia, back in the late 19 ninety's. this is what you're doing. yeah. on may 7th, 19

i am literally sitting in the former no man's land between east and west germany right now.hat is where the new convention center was built. parts of the wall are sitting outside. your thoughts are not lost on me. anything else you would like to share in parting? rep. armstrong: i will continue to sell it the same way i sell north dakota, i don't need to explain why what we do is important to us, i explain why it is important to them. you like to fill up your car? you like north dakota. you like wheat or bread, north dakota is important. you like turning on the light switch and the lights come on, north dakota is important. we have an opportunity to allow u.s. companies and ingenuity to lead the world into the 21st century energy mix and we should not shirk ourselves from that responsibility. we should be happy warriors. i think we are in a weird place right now because of strategic things that have happened between ukraine and russia. the rest of the world has caught on to natural gas and what this looks like. we just have to get d.c. to act quicker. brigham: words to the w

if you look at the little dot of great insight, east germany was a divided city of berlin. west berlin was a little enclave of west germany that was contained within, as you can see here, the territory of east germany and east germany simply means what was left over after. in 1949, the communist refuse to reunite their postwar occupation zone of germany with the zones of germany occupied by american, british and french troops. the german zones were linking back together to create an independent capitalist federal republic of germany. so east germany would create a communist country under the thumb of the soviet union. these countries would pay lip service to the pursuit of karl marx's inspired ideology of communism. the rhetoric and the general philosophy of history, and i use the term advisedly, thinking through one of these secular eschatology that we've been exploring throughout the past week, the move toward a classless society in the day to day, especially in the late 1940s and early 1950s, the new soviet backed communist regimes in power behind the iron curtain borrowed so

a large action on the eve of may 9 took place in the west of germany, it started in the city of leverkusenen the participants arrived in cologne in eighty cars and marched along the central streets under the flags of victory with portraits of grandfathers and great-grandfathers who liberated europe from the nazis on the sides of the road and escorted the police to stop the procession, which was attended by several hundred people, they did not try, but the organizer of the action had already faced persecution in germany , a criminal case was opened against her for speaking out in support of russia in our foreign ministry they said that the case was politically motivated what activists are trying to intimidate? and on the eve of victory day, we have parades and concerts to honor veterans right in the courtyards of a housekeeper lugansk military, who are now defending donbass, congratulated grigory semyonovich. ponomarenko in the forty-third year, he went to the front, volunteered and reached berlin at nine, met with victory. now he is 97 years old and all years.
