the golden 20's in a germany, but germany was on borrowed money and borrowed time. >> there was an outpouring of art and culture for complex reasons. the desire to escape the first world war and enjoy economic growth, berlin was the center of it all, but it is easy to forget there was also munich, dusseldorf, cologne, and a traditional germany thatat was shocked. stresemanne, gustav wanted to restore german prestige as a leading foreign nation. >> before he was a man of peace, he was a man of war. he was the longest running prime minister during the first world war and like those of his generation, this event changed him. at the start of the 1920's, he came around to the idea that re-conciliation with germany was the only possible option. >> improved franco german relations led to the addition of germany to the league of nations promoted by president wilson and established by the treaty of versailles. the treaties of 1925 saw germany recognize its new western borders, also mapped up in -- mapped out in versailles. french]g >> on the french side, they wanted to limit german by ceiling as many

richard grinnell said this america has sacrificed a lot to help germany remain part of the west germany is the biggest economic power in europe the success brings global responsibilities. and with me is that kid brady are a political correspondent sounds like payback time does he have a point to a certain degree yes and i think it's worth underlining as well the 2nd part of that quote that we saw just there from richard grinnell saying that germany is the biggest economic power in europe and with that comes responsibility and for a long time this is something that germany has really struggled with is what to do with this responsibility and whether it really has the stomach to take such a huge political move which would be to join this u.s. led a naval mission in the persian strait that germany is in a very difficult situation right now it's aware of the risks and what's at stake here the course the fears of a middle east war with these potential global repercussions they've been growing in recent months but it is worth pointing out as well that the viewpoint at least from lynn is very m

sent that request to germany several days ago and that there was no reply from germany at all and therefore a formal request was issued this past tuesday and it's sounds like the u.s. felt that germany was ignoring it can you confirm that do you know what happened there. i cannot confirm any of the details i was in the in the special meeting of the foreign affairs committee last week wednesday when we discussed this also with 463 months. what i can. reconfirm is that we were seriously considering the u.k. proposal of a joint. let european mission and i think we would probably need to you all un approval for such a mission for political ends and legal reasons in germany. a unilateral mission under unilateral c'mon 12 everybody else is just a true provider and not a party to the decision making would be very hard i think to sell leaving aside what my own party would decide it i think we would have to get a majority in the parliament and the european mission would have had the chance to get broad approval beyond. the parties supporting the government including some of position parties and it w

his pictures show the effects of germany's rapid reunification and what was effectively east germany's submission to the west. germany insisted on its own way of doing things most east germans lost their jobs and the country they had lived in vanished. the work we lost all faith and everything to do with the east we thought west german milk and sugar was better than our own even their people were superior. many west germans wanted to profit for example those who judged one of east germany's beauty pageants it was held in life 6 just 2 months after the berlin wall came down as adama. back then i was shocked by how these human bodies were suddenly being exploited for capitalist game. we need to know looking at these pictures today they seem like an allegory of east germany's demise. the ladies got dressed up as a given code gave it everything they had really. took and less fat stupid jersey god just sat there smoking cigars and grading them everything had begun so will the crowd shouted we are the people i was rulon and joyous met an october 9th 1990 s. the most decisive rally at the tim

you know germany needs an economic stimulus in particular as this economic slowdown is comes from the global economy it's important for the german government to stabilize the german economy through a fiscal stimulus that's what we need now in germany the government has big surpluses it could it has the money to do so we need more public investment in infrastructure in innovation in education this is an opportunity both in the short run to stabilize the economy and to provide higher potential more growth more welfare in the long run what about lowering taxes. lowering taxes can be helpful it depends how it is done if it's lowering taxes on investment i would say that's very much needed because we need more private investment if it's about a tax cut for the rich. the economic benefits are close to nil so the government needs to get their priorities right think how can they stabilize the economy how can the best spend the money in my view the abolishment of the of the tech surcharge on income which really benefits the top 30 percent of income earners abolishing that tax. would not be to

germany's defeat was inevitable the fighting exceptionally fierce. the world was beginning to grasp the unprecedented scale of the conflict. more than 50000000 people lost their lives no warhead ever claimed so many casualties military and civilian. soldiers of the victorious allied forces discovered the concentration camps. in germany american troops were so appalled by what they found they brought civilians from the surrounding area to see the horrors of the camps with their own eyes. many germans claimed to have know nothing of what went on in the camps or the holocaust. at the post war nor bad war crimes trials even some leading nazis proclaimed their ignorance when confronted with evidence of the atrocities. committed with you to get rid of. british prosecutor frederick l. when jones was among those who insisted this could not be the case he believed that there had been a virtual blueprint for the holocaust but finding out. the not taking it all secret off. the top of the wall. this is the story behind one of the best selling political manifesto

the main factor is germany's modern stadiums germany has state of the art arenas with huge capacities they're simply bigger than the ones in england. and. most of them were built all renovated for the 2006 world cup. the whole country was excited about hosting the tournament which gave football already the most popular sport in germany an even bigger boost. and that had an effect on the bundesliga as well some say germany has the best stadium atmosphere in europe definitely better than the premier. there is a longstanding tradition of fan culture and an active ultra scene in germany fans here have a saying. germany is the only top league in europe that has the 50 plus one rule which means that club members hold a majority of voting rights thereby retaining overall control and protecting their club from the influence of external investors the rule of many clubs in the premier league the bundesliga tracks more than 43000 fans on average 6000 more than any other league 5 german clubs are in the top. then when it comes to highest average attendance dorman the top of the tree with 80000 fa

time 1st global welcome to the program europe's biggest economy is running out of steam germany's latest growth figures fuel from service that the country could be on its way to a recession the economy contracted 0 point one percent in the recent quarter this after posting lackluster growth in the 1st 3 months of the year and not the end of last year slump has been attribute to a fall in sales of machine parts and cars to china uncertainty of bread and a difficult global trade environment should be found in the contract to give an exporter germany would officially be in a recession. of all sectors it's the hitherto invincible industrial sector that's begun to drag on germany's economy for years it's been the driving force behind the recovery but no longer german industrial production in june 29th teen was 5.2 percent down on june last year that's the largest reversal since the global financial crisis and recession 10 years ago. exports of also long been a pillar of the economy also a thing of the past right now germany's exports in june 29th were shocking 8 percent lower than in june 28t

and inviting them back to germany. this took about 30 or 40 years for the historical amnesia to be dispeld. but part of in movement to think again about these historical questions involved a campaign to renovate the synagogue. and they raised money, partly from local sources, partly from -- one of the german jewish families in kippenheim, a man called serth oechlt ime e.r., he wam one of the richest men in israel and member of the kensette and he had a part in the reconstruction of the synagogue and donated funds to it. but most funds came from within germany, actually. and i thought this quote from robert kreiss is interesting here. i asked him, you know, why he did this. and he explained well this is not just jewish history we're talking about. it's our history, our german history. so beginning in the '80s they began inviting people back. and some service -- the synagogue is not a functioning synagogue. it's more like a cultural center. but they have had services in the synagogue. but it's not a functioning synagogue

used to take on by a break italy in the league but now find themselves in germany's 4th tier. cutbush has seen better days it actually has 1st division pedigree having played 6 seasons in germany's top league between 200-2009 but then the club began to decline steadily ending up in the semi pro 4th division or regional leak as it's called in germany but hope springs eternal they say in fact the team's coach thinks this draw couldn't have been better for his squad. as a 4th division side knowing that you're not going to go too far in this cop you hope for a draw like this by munich will pack the fans in. no wonder byron is chockablock with stars not to mention the dizzying number of titles it's won at home and internationally the bavarians biggest problem seems to be whether they're going to make another big signing before the bundesliga season starts next week and they also want to make a better impression this season after losing to dortmund in the super cup. it's not about wanting a specific result but up out the way we played. not letting the rivals have the opportunity to

ambassador to germany richard grinnell coming out very strongly in an editorial saying germany needs to take on more international responsibility but germany's foreign minister says that diplomacy is is probably is a priority for this country and he doesn't want to jeopardize that how is this diplomatic track working out well it's not only germany it's germany together with france and the u.k. and these 3 european powers want to keep at any price the nuclear deal with iran the german government sees that as a huge political mistake that u.s. president trump has you need literally pulled out of put on. that nuclear agreement so if the us no asked germany to join a naval mission there are doubts there are questions raised here in germany to what end such a mission will be accomplished if germany perhaps might sleep walking into a wall with iran to jump deescalation and try to negotiate try to keep the nuclear deal percent thank you so much. correspondent dealing with international and security affairs. now some of the other stories making headlines around the world today u.s. federal r

ethnically cleanse this part of germany. they'll ethnically cleanse other parts of germany. of course with hindsight, we can now say that it would have been a good idea had they been all allowed to expel all their jewish population, but we didn't know this at the time because this is before the death camps had been created. so fdr essentially supported the state department in refusing to allow -- refusing to accept the french request to allow these jews to emigrate to america. but i thought for the purpose of my book, this is an interesting case study because even after they arrived in france, they couldn't all go as a group to -- as a group to the united states. they had still for the most part applied for u.s. visas. and when they got to the camp in france, they continued their quest for american visas. there was a u.s. consulate in marseille and they started writing letters to the consulate in marseille, transferring their previous applications from stuttgart to marseille. so why did -- i mean, there are about 500 jewish communities in this part of germany in barden. but
