germany rises we meet a man who covers just kept up whenever he leaves his home and. i mean you could as mckinnon thanks so much for joining us a european tour by the u.s. secretary of state might pompei it got off to a strange start when he and german chancellor angela merkel failed to agree on anything very much in berlin they did agree that they had shared values but there was little meeting of minds beyond that policy towards iran is the main cause of friction between the 2 allies. it took my palm peo 400 days to find time to visit berlin and then officials scheduled only 45 minutes for talks with chancellor angela merkel on trouble spots afghanistan syria libya and iran. the world is in great turmoil above all the question of the run and how to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. nor did bump ayos discussions with germany's foreign minister bring the 2 countries closer together washington has been raising the pressure on iran well european countries struggle to save the nuclear deal iran signed 4 years ago. this is also no secret that we are pursuing different approaches to

germany's provisional capital bonn all the way to the current capital berlin together we'll discover what a giraffe has to do with the country's constitution or basic law as it's known here and we'll revisit the places and locations that tell the story of post-war germany . we take you to bonds museum of german history. we catch an open air film and berlin government quarter. and we share of viewer video sent in from the hate speech of the dutch government. to get things off i'm taking a walk down vons path of democracy along the route you'll come across the alexander kearney museum. don was heavily involved in world war 2 so there weren't enough venues in the city for officials to meet when it became the new capital the parliamentary council got together and this natural history museum to draft a basic law for post-war germany now the country's constitution. this is where all the important people gather. clothes it was all very grand and formal the base of an orchestra performed that was the day i know was asked to create a government and draw up the basic law. but it was already a museum

asylum seeker in germany. i arrived in this country in 2014 a new asylum will dictated that i should live in cologne and that evil german city that i've come to love. i'm one of nearly a 1000000 ethnic arabs who have come to germany since 2015 fiend war and violence back home. initially we received a warm reception by the germans but what happened here in this square on new year's eve 2015 when young men said to be arab were accused of robbing and attacking german women brought that welcoming to an end. german police encountered distraught women and girls were reported fights thefts and sexual assaults against women by groups of male immigrants. life here has not been the same since that night. there widespread calls to halt the entry of arab refugees. and the party of chancellor angela merkel who champion the cause of refugees is losing votes in the polls. how do we stay here and how do we survive. learning german is my 1st essential task. arabs began coming to germany in the late 1950 s. . there were nearly half a 1000000 arabs already here when the most recent influx began.

made a state visit to morocco that year. germany lost 8000000 citizens to world war 2 and faced the post-war years with a severe manpower shortage. to rebuild germany needed men and negotiated guest worker agreements with countries across southern europe and by the mid 1960 s. morocco and tunisia. shift. a german off to nissin descent. i've been a spiritual guide to many arabs who came from north africa since the 1960 s. . but that. is. the statement from my. stereo well i'm your. mother. jenny. hamel. what i like when i actually had from. home is a myth and we already have in this but. what i can. be led when we go and. that's when i'll be at. home. and how we year. when. i thought coffee been especially the congealing feel. the. small local tunisian and then. he wouldn't. name a. guest by it was intent on straight but as. this one took less. than half of. the indian. name in and took one out of. the issue of large scale immigration to germany has become a national discussion. even in the country's vast museums. well at home the gorgeous distortion will we hear now at the exhibitio

values on trade security and iran are germany and the u.s. postwar allies and partners drifting ever further apart. i think the united states is and continues to be the most important partner for germany outside of europe germany is a great important partner an ally of the united states with us i think we agree that we have to prevent iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. so it's no secret that we have differences with regard to the right approach to the sun we will do our best to enforce the american sanctions regime that is what it's been put in place. also coming up on the day smoking is bad for you but what about vaporing on world no tobacco day we look at a popular alternative to regular cigarettes and find out just how good an alternative it really is. we know from animal and soul experiments that the vapor causes inflammation in cells. well does this suggests that in addition to inflammation it could result in long term damage such as cancer. if we start with the u.s. secretary of state might pump ailes tour of europe it got off to a rocky start friday he and german chancellor
