when it comes to germany's defense spending that he would like germany to spend much more than what the country is spending we've heard before from donald trump his criticism about germany's planned north stream to pipeline with russia and watch the views there of germany becoming hostage of russia those were his words not mine so in a sense this is not new the possibility that there could be sanctions when it comes north is maybe further development of all this but is that xander correctly pointed from washington i would interpret dollars from his words as a sign of what is becoming a very troubled relationship between washington and bernie now that the possibility of sanctions has been firmly put on the table should the german government be worried they should certainly consider it and look at that very carefully or bridge or that they are doing that already as i say trumps comments and not seem to are not new we've heard that many times before but when we look at those comments by donald trump we also have to look at a separate issue when it comes that it's not only about energy

with the approval of the basic law constitution the federal republic of germany all of west germany was established in 1949. looking back on 70 years of german history and here we see kind of adenauer signing the basic law. and when the loss of germany was still in ruins but no i wanted to emphasize the importance of this historic moment. so he used the very grand gilded silverware from cologne town hall and gruden of the start of the establishment of west and east germany in 1949 sealed the division of the country. became the provisional capital of west germany and the seat of its parliament. its 1st freely elected members sat on these chairs. and you all this tells us something about the 1st west german parliament. we got some of the original seats and created this display also the podium and lectern from which are no and others address the assembly element. we have some speeches about nuclear weapons which was a major issue back then and. i look at some and also lighthearted and even rowdy ones which show how parliamentarians sometimes let it rip. important moments from east german h

wants germany to block well way from its 5 g. network well it definitely does it's a major stumbling stone right now in the relations between the 2 countries because as i was just talking about there germany has a problem when it comes to building these type of networks it's a huge problem the last 2030 years hallway is the market leader when it comes to this type of technology it's also the cheapest provider that's out there so really if germany wants to build a 5 g. network quickly and efficiently it needs while these technology however the trump administration argues there's a lot of securities concerns out there now the german government has echoed some of those concerns heikal mouse said recently they admitted to the fact that there were some security concerns around huawei however germany really can't afford to block them out of the development of 5 g. at the moment which is part of the reason we're seen such a contentious issue develop between washington and berlin at the moment all right erin chilton from business thank y

you coots interpret this as a sort of punishment for germany. very good point and let's talk about numbers here we heard today a 1000 u.s. troops could be sent to poland that is smaller than one poland had been hoping for but do you think this is the beginning of something that will be bigger well i wouldn't go so far as saying that this is a beginning of something bigger military experts here say that it might be too much from russia perspective or too many troops from russia spokesperson perspectives but to be a real difference it's still not enough to just send $1000.00 additional troops to poland's to strengthen mage's the eastern flank there all right our washington bureau chief alexander phenomenon on the story for us tonight the white house in washington alexandra thank you. hong kong has been rocked by the most serious political violence since control of the territory was handed back to china more than 20 years ago police today used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse tens of thousands of protesters they had walked heroes and stormed

in germany we should not forget that germany has historically a responsibility when it comes to fighting a right wing extremism that notwithstanding this history of germany it should always be the responsibility and the duty of authorities to fight right wing extremism and i would have wished that the federal minister of the interior would find words to describe also political leadership and political responsibility in doing so words and what actions. what should he do it was before it needs to be investigated whether there was a network behind the suspect the suspect claims to have acted alone but this shouldn't be believed without further investigation so 1st of all we need to investigate whether there is a network behind him 2nd we have to work on the digital competencies and the digital understanding of our security or thora t's they don't have in mind and they don't what's going on in the internet when it comes to hate speech when it comes to threatening politicians when it comes to people fretting people that are engaged in the civil society and we have to discuss about federalism

to stay in line with the states on the east of germany in some ways to be able to cut germany's freedom of movement. so too the french. the existence and independence of the czech state with whom they had an alliance was very important. and the soviets also had an alliance, as i mentioned before, with the czechs. the french also had alliances with yugoslavians and romanians. but the british didn't view that as significant. they had a western system of defense. england's defense begins on the rhine. france itself. the british were not against the revision of the portions of the treaty of versailles that were abhorrent to germany. in some cases, they were more sympathetic to the germans, who were viewed as having been mistreated at versailles. and not guilty of starting world war i alone. and jealous in some cases and angry at the french's small-mindedness and attachment to legalities. the british elites, who actually came into government, stanley baldwin, and chamberlain, believed in appeasement as a policy. now, it has come to have a horrendous meaning, after world war i. appeasement eq

post-war germany west germany and complete many we had 2 camps center right center left and 2 big parties one to the right the christian democrats and one minute the ball to the left the social democrats. and the idea was that these 2 parties always could get a majority and that they had different concepts and if one government was not delivering anymore the other could take over and having these 3 grand coalitions with until america already. this whole idea is. just not working anymore because i'm going to michael has turned to the left she's a social democrats some people in her party say this is not a positive thing in her party and on the other hand we had before choice who also turned to the right and was doing something his own electorate wasn't really saying was a good thing so these whole idea is not working anymore and we don't have any. probably any new parties that give us an idea how it could work so the traditional german parties being swept aside to a certain extent from that's a by by tectonic changes there and among those there's a lot of talk about another tectonic change

of west germany and i'll complete germany we had two camps center right center left and two big parties. one but it would move to the right the christian democrats and one minute the ball to the left of the social democrats. and the idea was that these two parties always could get a majority and that they had different concepts and if -- one government was not. delivering anymore the other could take over and having these three grand coalitions with underlying medical already -- this whole idea is now. just -- not working anymore because i'm gonna michael has turned to the left uses social democrats some people in a party say and this is not a positive thing and a party. and on the other hand we had before we get out shura. who also turn to the right and was doing something his own electorate wasn't really saying was good thing? so. these are whole idea is now or not working anymore and we don't have any. probably any new parties that give us an idea how it could work. so the traditional german parties being swept aside to a certain extent vanessa bye. bye. tectonic changes that among t

other parts of germany. of course in hindsight, we could say it would have been a good idea if they were allowed to expel the jewish population, but we did not know it at the time, because this was before the death camps had been created. so fdr essentially supported the state department in refusing to thew -- refusing to accept french request to allow these jews to emigrate to america. but i thought, for the purpose of my book, this was an interesting case study, because even after they arrived in france, they could not go as a group to the united states. they still come up for the most ,art, applied for u.s. visas and when they got to the camp in thece, they continued request for american visas. there was a u.s. consulate in and they started writing applications, transferring the previous applications from student art to marseille. marseille.ttgart to there were 500 in this jewish in baldern, but iulde chose kippenheim, because there are photographs of deportations. there are very few photographs of deport

trump is trying to punish germany. well i have to say this that as a german reporting here at the white house i could certainly say that i would understand this this way. that the u.s. is deploying additional troops to poland and that those troops would be coming possibly from germany or our countries at the same time he praised poland for spending 2 percent of its g.d.p. on defense and went on criticizing germany for not spending enough then keep trace poland for. buying the u.s. liquefied natural gas and criticized at the same time germany for relying too much for making a tremendous mistake to rely too much on natural gas and energy from russia so certainly it appears as a sort of punishment for germany but of course we cannot say for sure if that was what presidents trump really meant by making this announcement today all right center for a moment outside the white house in washington alexandra thank you. well i'm joined now from our washington bureau by. senior vice president of the atlantic council and director o

he himself took it over from a collective shortly after the collapse of communist east germany. as the it's one thing when we made an offer in 1902 to privatized this farm we had to show proof that we had agricultural technical training otherwise we would have got it. but today i don't need to tell you what counts only one thing counts what's that it's your money can you buy the farm or not busy. 25 percent of agricultural real estate in eastern germany is already in the hands of corporations and companies based elsewhere many farmers are very angry. because it always leads to people with no ties to the region taking over and services from somewhere else in germany coming in with contain this and technology and doing work there and that leaving again on the high has no connection at all to the people in the region. me out soon. mention in all your. large agricultural areas are currently seem as a low risk way to pad portfolios of multimillionaires it may be a solid investment against economic downturns for them but small scale farmers are increasingly being pushed out of busines

the cheating results germany's major political parties can dream. east of the country the right wing populist alternative for germany is growing stronger in many places they could be coming state elections. most of germany's big cities. protection is a major priority they want. to tackle global. in the affected areas a big mistake. to them environmental protection is a luxury only rich city can afford. can bring the country together. professor who can bring the country together. i don't think the greens are particularly failing they are attracting this. very hot and the green question the question is also a social question because when we look at. suffering from. change for example yes of course there are those coal miners but 1st of all we can find solutions with . different of the poorest people we have. with climate change. we do we do have to find like other solutions on how to move how to be more inclusive about how to use energy differently so that we can just keep on living. more sustainable and i think that we can tackle these questions anot

and heartache for germany as the women's soccer team is knocked out of the world cup quarterfinals the 2 time winners take the lead but their dreams are dashes for me to head back to prevail to want. i'm joining us it's been called a historic event u.s. president donald trump has met with north korean dictator kim. in the did militarized zone between north and south korea where both leaders shared a symbolic handshake trump is the 1st sitting u.s. president to enter north korea he described today's events as without precedent. this is never happened before. an american president stepping foot in north korea crossing the line that has divided the peninsula in nearly 70 years. some said he didn't know until the last moment if the meeting would take place if this handshake is all it was supposed to be when trump made a surprise offer on twitter on saturday. that was then that was more. kim said he hoped the moment would signal a new beginning after the breakdown of nuclear talks in february. 5th and told that she wanted all she wanted was i believe that just looking at this auction is an

in response to the annual protest germany's anti semitism commission a call for all germans to take to the streets in solidarity with jews and israel some protesters jews and non genies keep this year's protest was made all the most significant after a reported increase in anti-semitic crimes especially to them my aim is to end all this against the jews that they are no longer targeted i think it's a disgrace for germany that's why. we want to make a clear statement against our stay every year as they march through berlin and spread their anti-semitic and empty zionist slogans. so members of the jewish community was skeptical of the pro israel protest in general supporting palestinian rights and criticizing the state of israel and holding the state of israel accountable for its actions is there no anticipate eric and i'm actually quite offended when. people make that conflation between anti-semitism and criticism of israel these demonstrations hey remember just a small part of a much wider a much more complicated discussion and debate going on in germany right now concerning the issue
