i am grateful for the aid and the help from germany. reporter: helpers also get 50 euros a month from a german association founded by alexandros and friends. it's name translates as "aid for greece that gets where it's needed". the founders are regularly on site to ensure their organization lives up to its name. >> the administration costs are zero. we paid for our own flights. it's not like we're claiming any kind of travel expenses. reporter: in the beginning it was just a small, private initiative. but after coverage in the german media, donations poured in, raising funds in the group's account from 1300 to 40,000. the friends founded a registered association. it has since come to support a hundred families. with the cash they bring from germany, the friends provide first aid in greece. they say they help people, unlike the eu, which has spent millions saving banks. alexandros also helps the old and the sick, who cannot work on the farm. giorgios kalaizakis, for example, and his mother aphroditi. the two live on her 340 euro pension.

the first is a cultural history of nazi germany. it's a great deal of culture in the third right and this is supposed to be an inclusive synthetic history that i look at the representatives such as the sculpture, the filmmaker, the actor known from the system, the act it was very, very talented. i look our best to stay in nazi germany. a story is not included in the history of the third reich. pricing for painters like mold and kershner and sculptors like my lot. and thinking of composers like paul hindemith, architects like me and wrote an array of modernist culture figures tried to stay in nazi germany and collaborate with the regime. every mac history into the story. the modernist in the initial artist at the same time. >> host: you open this book with a quote by orson welles. >> im, im. >> his wording is very interesting as a poet among other things. when i visited france and italy right after the war, i was followed that in the safety of america. i didn't want to meet the people who had if not exactly collaborated ,-com,-com ma

most jewish cultural figures did leave it nazi germany. they realized early on that there was no place for them in hitler's germany and they realized the most remarkable immigration in the early 1930s was so notable and we in america benefited greatly, especially here in southern california where there is a community, but if one was not jewish and one thought one's work could fit in the not nazi regime they stayed and tried to make a go of it. that's what i'm so interested in our cultural heroes who i think by disposition were anti-nazis. they had very little sympathy for hitler and the racism and hatred, but they saw themselves as german and they wanted to stay and work in their homeland, whether it was because they endured three years of the great depression, economic economic hardship and they saw 1933 and opportunity to work, the nazis with their public spending in their public works, they invested a great deal of money and culture in the arts and they were great patrons. suddenly there were these opportunities to design and compose an

germany had not declared war. but i suspect that germany already an ally of japan would have compromised germany in the eyes of many americans. >> i am a member of the historical society. i was wondering how influential in the formulation of eisenhower's policies was his secretary of state, john foster dulles, brickman ship? and if eisenhower in the 1950's had decided to wind down the military, i wish you would have notified my draft board because i and most of my friends were drafted in that year. >> as far as the latter's concern come if you look at the number of divisions in the american are -- in the american army, the numbers fall that year. they actually had -- the same thing history of world war ii. as you probably to come america in world war ii set out to fight with a hundred divisions, as opposed to the soviets and the japanese. it was a traumatic threat and risk. but in terms of the global comparator, america is a -- as a per capita military was much smaller than the soviet union. john foster dulles, a

a swedish giant is suing germany. the company says it lost money because the country decided in 2012 to phase out nuclear energy, to force it to take nuclear reactors off-line early. the firm says it has been treated unjustly, and that investments are now worthless. it's demanding 4.7 billion euros in reparations. the case has heightened fears that if ttip comes under law, foreign companies could have national laws overruled by the court at world bank in washington. do such course -- such courts pose a threat to national sovereignty? host: what do you think -- threat to national sovereignty? and if so, can a condi rice be -- can a compromise be found? these are commercial arbitrations. >> by the rule of law, they have laws. they follow up and they need to see if they were obliged to them. in the last 20 years, i think there were 17 cases that the americans brought like that. you can give these courts regulations that minimizes the risks we have justs een. the eu commission has made a counter proposal for the eu-u.s. t

germany is not going to work. on top of that, germany is also allied with japan in of others local difficulty on the border of 1939. there is a league, a coalition of frightening proportions. no one knows but this is going to lead. what it appears to lead to a 1940 is collapse of the world order. in 1940, remember, eisenhower, to give you the background, spends most of his time growing up in kansas. goes into the army on top of his class, and goes to the west point, in world war i sees no military service. he is not a man like truman. he goes into training. this is very important, but it is not what was people did in world war i. in the 1920's and 1930's, he spends a lot of time on the staff in one of the most active of the american military commands, which is that of the philippines where he is number two under macarthur. he is a very talented man, does extremely well and he is put in the division of the american army war planning. the army and the navy, what goes completely wrong is 1940. 1940 in many senses is

[inaudible] and they realize there is no place for them in hitler's germany. that the most remarkable cultural immigration, the exodus of culture figures in the early 1930s was so notable and we in america it benefited especially in southern california when there was a great community and the hollywood community but if one was not jewish, and you thought your work would fit into the nazi regime, they would try to find acceptance. [inaudible] none of. >> they wanted to stay and work in their homeland. whether it was because they had endured three years of the great depression, economic economic hardship and they saw 1933 in an opportunity to work, the nazis were their public spending spending and public works invested a great deal of money and culture in the arts. they're great patrons, so suddenly there are opportunities to design, compose, build and what have you, was very tempted for these people who had seen the lean years of 1930 to 1933. they thought now is an opportunity to work again. most of these these figures thought of themselves as quintessentially

germany's defense minister announcing plans to add thousands of jobs. berlin says they are needed to tackle challenges like fighting so-called islamic state and cyber criminals. it is germany's first military expansion since the end of the cold war. also coming up, the british prime minister is caught on camera with an open microphone making indiscreet remarks ahead of a summit. we will tell you what he said. and u.s. president barack obama says he will visit her oshima, japan, the city u.s. forces dropped an atomic bomb on at the end of the second world war. he is not expected to offer an apology, so what will he offer? good to have you with us. to sin, to slim, after decades of downsizing, germany has announced plans to expand its armed forces. it is a paradigm shift, 25 years after the end of the cold war. back in 1990, germany had 600,000 soldiers in the armed forces. today, they are just shy of 180,000 left as a result of a strategic shift toward a lean, tech savvy and mobile, modern army. they were significant cuts at the same time. the military c

germany has a general election in 18 months. opinion polls are being scrutinized closely, and with good reason. the alternative for germany party are making waves on a tide of anti-immigrant and anti-eu sentiment. the latest poll indicates that germany's parliament would look very different if the public voted right now. >> troubled times for germany's established parties. the polls show a potential political earthquake. when asked who they wouldn't vote for if the general election was the sunday, 33% said it would choose the governing christian democrats. 20% would vote for spd, the free democratic party would get 6% among the left 8%, and the green 13%. afd would be newcomers with 50%. -- 15%. it has been gaining ground on existing parties. more recently, it's anti-muslim rhetoric has won support. when asked if you border sproles -- patrol should be maintained, almost all supporters answered yes. 62% of respondents want to maintain recently introduced border controls your only 34% want them discontinued. germany's refugee poli

germany's banks are once more under fire according to media reports. several institutions helping foreign investors explore tax loopholes. in the case of germany's second-biggest lender, the situation is particularly spicy because if it had not been for a billion euro public bailout, the bank would not be arund today. >> germany's second largest financial institution helped foreign investors exploit a tax loophole to say tens of millions of euros every year that the technique is called dividend stripping. large foreign investors lend their shares to german companies for short term. when the dividend is paid out, no capital gains tax has to be paid. then the shares are transferred back to the investors and the money saved on taxes is split between the two sites. the government receives nothing. analysts have debated the legality of this practice for years. the german government now wants to pass legislation to ban it. opposition leaders are outraged. >> i cannot understand why a bank held by taxpayers a few years ago would carry out such a large amount

there are summoning people here in germany, good people with roots in turkey. is one of theis dramas we dodon't talk about muh right now. it is why i agree, if the deal fafails, the consequences wiwile bad. because i think this is one of the last chances those two countries, the eu and also german turkish relations, they have. mistrust will the be even bigger and i think dark times ahead. host: dark times ahead. thank you. we have given you plenty of food for thought on relations between germany and turkey. come back next week. bye-bye. 8úxúÑÑ >> welcome to global 3000. thisis week, we head to nepal. it has been a year since the earthquake, and timber is in short supply. the big question is how to protect the forest. we go to ghana. with prices at rock bottom, the mood is one of disillusionment. but first, we go to south korea, where demonstrations often have grievous consequences.

guy: but just in terms of relative performance, germany has been -- germany has wreaked so many benefits from the industrialization process we have been through in china. will other economies around the world overtake germany in its relationship with china? services. they will provide all the bits and pieces that the chinese authorities don't have yet. the knowledge-based economy is not established. max: there is a lot of competition in terms of not only other countries moving into china, but also, we will see a strengthening of chinese companies that will be moving out in a wide range of sectors. i think the german economy has been very export-oriented, relying on foreign export markets. it is used to the competition, so i am not very worried about this. guy: where do you think in the german economy, which areas, which specific industries do you think will benefit the most, if i look at high-end automotive chips, where i going to see the real bright spots in the relationship with china over the next few years? max: if we look at the development in terms of implementing industry 4.0, so

germany has the leadership for .urope, and many countries neighboring countries care that germany takes leadership, but you cannot say german me has the response -- germany has the responsibility. peter: what you appear to be saying is germany is bullying smaller countries in europe. agree, but not really smaller countries. austria was benefiting by jeremy -- germany. you can talk about the european south, about the austerity policy. countries like austria or even the netherlands benefit from what is gaining to the markeketn germany. on the political side, i agree that thesenig, countries resent they have no more say in the european making. if you go to the refugee criris, the chancellor who just resigned, he was given orders by angela merkel to arrange this. it was more her calling for the auaustrian chancelellor to givim a task, as if the chancellor is not on equal footing in the system of european governance.i think there is something building up , in the small countries. we are seeing that we are paying the political price. thed: because the some of smaller countries are powerful. p

we sent purchases to a clinic in western germany. this is the only place that is experiencing this regularly. up to 400 a year. apart from time and waste products, there is a new substance. what did she find in the samples? >> this is a diagram of the analysis and here is what we have identified, a substance that is very new and i could not find anything about it online. we do know that comparable substances with a similar makeup are around 40 times stronger than cannabis. reporter: cannabinoids are manufactured in chinese laboratories and turned into a consumable drug. the customer is, effectively, the guinea pig. >> i think it would make sense to offer a service in germany where users can have it checked, like in austria and switzerland. you would be able to warn users directly and prevent some of the more major problems. reporter: there were 25 deaths in germany officially attributed to legal highs. it is clear that there needs to be more information out there for the public. iseefoother drs.c information alcohol is highly addicti

germany doing welcome of the rest of europe not as well -- germany doing well, the rest of europe doing well, this is something you see in the european unemployment data. speed.ave that multi if you look at the chart, it looks like it is flattening out, perhaps turning lower. we are at a very interesting point. caroline: german debt outperforming. what is brexit adding to all of this? we had christine lagarde saying recession risks if britain exits the european union. really outspoken views about anti-brexit -- is anyone pro? richard: mark carney said have aay that we could technical recession if the u.k. were to leave. volatilityterling against u.s. dollar -- we are at seven-year highs. that just encapsulates the vote. it jumped sharply as soon as the two-month tenor took in the vote. investors are concerned about the implications of exit -- brexit. they are uncertain of what's going to happen and therefore, volatility is high. betty: i want to talk about the economic numbers we've had. you have noted that we've seen a sharp uptick in negative surprises on economic numbers despite what

many of them accuse the authorities of west germany and then unified germany of turning a blind eye to the reports about colonia dignidad. german foreign minister frank-walter steinmeier has acknowledged that mistakes were made. >> the embassy failed to insist the that german nationals, which the majority of colonia's residents were, be allowed to speak to consular officials. the foreign office and embassy lost their way in a conflict of interests -- maintaining sound relations with the host country and protecting human rights. >> not the apology victims had been hoping for, but the german government will now be declassifying files on the colony. erick zott is happy to see berlin now taking these steps. >> i value what the minister said. i think it's a new start on this front. >> not all of the victims invited to berlin see things that way, however. >> what's missing is an undertaking to compensate us. i left the colony a decade ago, and we're still waiting. reporter: and they're waiting for the perpetators to be punished. hartmut hopp was paul schafer's number two in colonia dignidad.

that is a war zone by germany. that is the zone that germany is saying to neutral nations like the united states, do not come here, do not come into the war zone don't come into the wars of because you are at risk of getting attacked by a u-boat. they are not saying, don't go anywhere in the atlantic ocean. they are not saying don't go anywhere in the world, just don't go here. the reason that is going to be important is that you are going to see that in 1915, when woodrow wilson has to decide how to respond to lusitania, he has to do something if people are angry, then he has got several different options. people are going to look at that map and interpret lusitania in very different ways. if i hadn't gone through all of this, if i had just put this up here in terms of what actually happened, i am not going to say, most of you, but a few of you might have said that woodrow wilson goes with breaking to the medic relations and declare war on germany there is that is where -- diplomatic relations and declare war on g

germany is now expecting -- expressing interest. why is germany interested in islamic banking? it is the first time for germany to participate in this kind of seminar. short time ago, huge potential was recognized because there are more than 5 million immigrants in germany, so we believe there is potential for this in germany. the reason for coming is to find out what we have to change in germany to support this. reporter: so into regulatory framework and play -- is regulatory framework and play to adopt this? >> yes. but the banking industry has to be profitable. mightd to find out what change in the future. reporter: you talked about how the migrant population, the drives islamicon banking in germany, but it islamic banking is for non-muslims as well. is there as stigma attached to islamic banking because of the refugee crisis? moment, there are problems with the refugees, and some part of the population is against this development. we have to change the ideas of the people. not only muslims will use this, other people will as well. reporter: you were talking about how the re

that's the law in germany. they're the most successful capitalist country in europe, and they give more power to their workers than any other one. the notion that if you were to do that you would cripple the capitalist potential--uh-uh. it's the same silly argument that says, "gee. those europeans, they're just not doing real well because they have such a big social safety net," national health for everybody, basically free public higher education, and all the rest. germany has one of the most expansive programs of welfare for its people, and it's the most successful country. their unemployment is significantly lower than that in the united states, but on the other hand of course, for a german worker, like for most european workers, being unemployed doesn't have the meaning it does here because since they all have a national health system you get your national health whether you have a job or not. when you lose your job, you do not lose your health insurance. you can't lose your health insurance. it's yours by

at least germany should lead the train. we have inflation germany bringing the average with it. it is not happening, because wage formation in germany is not working the way it should. of employment, we have unions becoming less ambitious in their demands in the current wage grounds. if you cannot get the country to the extreme point of the recovery, normalizing inflation is going to take several more years. mark: gilles moec, chief european economist, merrill lynch. stay with us. welcome to the polls live from bloombergs european headquarters. let's get the bloomberg first word news. nejra: german unemployment declined more than economist estimates pushing the jobless rate the lowest yet since reunification. by people out of work fell 11,000 to 2.6 5 million in may. the median estimate for -- was for a decline of 5000. chinese stock index futures afterd by the daily limit snapping back in less than 60 seconds. recovered almost all of the losses in the same minute. the futures exchange is investigating the tumble and it is the second son swing to rattle traders this month. chine
