i was born in west germany. this fall i've noticed that the women i know who grew up living in east germany are in many ways in shall we say less sensitive and us gun sentai has a lot to do with the fact that social reality in east germany was so different i phone how it was normal for women to work abide they were a natural part of the labor force out of the public sphere tired of and he does that wasn't at all the case in west germany i hope mr 5. bunch school in northern germany so they clear. lived here for over 50 years a form of. she was long seen as a paragon of east germany's state sponsored emancipation. of his equal rights for women in east germany's social political aspirations. rivonia born here we were so involved in day to day business that we didn't have much time to think about what west german women were doing. i just always felt sorry for them. from what we learned from newspapers or television they didn't have the same opportunities that we did as women. in fact here in east germany women who

by the doj a start and at 1st both states claim to speak for all of germany because east germany backed by stalin claim to be the state that would unify the country. but the federal republic believed it at the superior system of governance kit and bonus oblique. today and the unification would have simply meant the nixing east germany i'm sure knows that he did. in 1961 just 12 years after the 2 german states were founded east germany sealed off the last open part of its mortar the wall deep into germany has defied. german unity seemed further away than ever in fears of another war the world looked to berlin breathless as u.s. and soviet tanks faced each other along the city's border. west berlin's mayor billy brunt tried to ease tensions. heat. island. i'll order right you cannot. escape being from east germany had become a deadly endeavor. ah that's an unsafe city in 1961 after hundreds of thousands have fled east germany the government sealed its borders in an act of self preservation. they imprisoned their own people because they had come to the very realistic conclusion that they c

target our germany start over 21st on t.w. . germany's super rich no other european country has as many billionaires and while their fortunes are growing more and more germans are living under the poverty line set by the organization for economic co-operation and development the o.e.c.d. . the press frequently reports on the country's high income inequality and low social mobility but little is known about the super rich the truth see that sure money attracts success and success attracts money but i do believe that i've experienced myself how you can suddenly connect with people previously out of reach for a kind of. germany's super wealthy how do they live and how do they see the country they live in. as the guy with tyson who got away. wealthy people in germany are talked about bothers me because it sensationalizing and sycophantic and in no way reflects what wealthy people have done and continue to do for this country for this long. but the only creates this impression of rich people being like scrooge mcduck that they have t

germany's role is boychuk this new germany gives a lot of money to the e.u. it people always count on germany because we're stronger and they always ask for money of course because we are paymasters everywhere these are just that now you cannot we finance a lot is it true sure we pay a lot for the e.u. but what actually happens to the money where do those billions end up and what does germany get out of it. the e.u. promises equal living conditions in all member states does that make sense is it even peaceable. good wages for work well done perspectives for a better future. how do people live in the e.u. . is europe really growing together. we travel across europe from by. area a poor member state through dependable all germany. to filming in ireland. but we start in italy a country that conjures up beautiful images to cations. excellent cuisine. everywhere we go we see large signs saying built with e.u. subsidies for decades money from brussels has gone into construction here nevertheless italy is in a state of crisis the south is still one of europe's poore

we've got in germany. with the vulnerability of jewish life almost all jewish institutions of god it often has clans when i was a child it seemed normal that my father never wore a kipper on the street for a good reason and anyone who surprised at this doesn't know about the long history of right wing terrorism in germany. christopher you said that the people had been in the synagogue were pretty calm did their nonetheless express feelings like the ones we just heard their feelings of perhaps heightened anxiety. i mean there is the question about they actual police protection and of the protection of the synagogues when you have young kapoor people one of the congregation told me this is sort of the traditional day where jews have been under attack so it was in his mind that there is this idea of. not feeling safe and i assume that anyone after something like this although i didn't specifically ask would feel less safe i mean that's that's you know a tragic thing to go through so the synagogue had asked fo

some some people flamed the internet in part for the change in discourse in germany and not only in germany and the internet is one area where the authorities seem to want to do more as i noted earlier the how the gunman had announced his intentions on the web and he had live streamed his attack let's take a role a look at the role played by social media. and as breivik was among the 1st right wing extremists to post a manifesto on the internet justifying his actions many others followed suit including the attackers in christ church and hannah they streams the massacres live on the net and they make use of anonymous websites that spread extremist thought and chant terrorist attacks. and for shooting and attacks these various right wing extremist forums treat all this as a game of. terrorism becomes a video game. users rate the manifestos in the live streams by how many people someone killed and they all work points for that. experts have labeled this the gamification of terrorism the attack in will so use the internet right when his language codes what's new is that the perpetrators see the

even these centuries later germany is still dealing. brent: he also said we need to look at existing security regulations. we know that most jewish institutions have police monitoring 24-7, most of them, but the synagogue and halle did not have police protection outside. the place was full and it was on yom kippur. from the outside looking in, it looks like more than just gross negligence. how do you explain that? william: it's interesting, i was speaking to people who were in the synagogue yesterday during the attack. they themselves are coming from outside the community. american sources fishes, curious about why there is so little security -- americans were suspicious, curious about why does little security. they said that is a holiday come not very dangerous. they didn't into notice a threat. the chief of police said there have been five years without any intelligence tipoff or anything suggesting there is an prize in medicine so why should we be putting resources dissolving where there is n no factual evidence? brent: people would

it's not easy to live in germany. it's my hope you keep hearing we can't let anything happen but nothing is done we feel abandoned the food and. that's because mission one not just jews in germany are affected it's an attack on democratic on uses a home which unfortunately we've got in germany is an element of hockey team you know not with the vulnerability of jewish life it's almost all jewish institutions of god it often has clans when i was a child it seemed normal that my father never wore a kipper on the streets for a good recent anyone who surprised at this doesn't know about the long history of right wing terrorism in germany to hold those most in doj land. christopher you said that the people had been in the synagogue were pretty calm did their nonetheless expressed feelings like the ones we just heard their feelings of perhaps heightened anxiety i mean there is the question about they actual police protection and of the protection of the synagogues when you have young kapoor people one of the congregation tol

part belonged to democratic west germany the eastern part to communist east germany and it guarded its borders selous like anyone who tried to escape was arrested or shot that meant east germans freedom of movement was severely restricted and largely limited to other eastern bloc countries so after the wall fell close to the fire bush travelled the world and made his hobby his profession the train physicist became a photographer and published books of his photos. doesn't disappear my as i was saying then i never believed i'd see all of that but i was convinced that something would happen at some point and i always said they can't penicillin forever and that if it. was from my in east germany from my childhood onwards it was self-evident that there was a wall and that meant wherever you went north south east west or even to the coast at some point you could go no further the idea of leaving and going to the west was not an unusual one for east germans but doing so had serious consequences. at this point i would have thought that my mother wouldn't be able to visit me regularly was so pa

germany is marking the anniversary of the country's reunification 29 years ago east and west germany became one basin after decades of hostile division during the cold war this is official commemoration ceremonies took place in the northern city of kiel but german chancellor angela merkel hailed the country's progress in 3 unification but said more must still be done to bridge the divide between east and west. sound lines evoking the shifting counters of germany's history as a country marked its 29th birthday in the north and city of q chancellor i go america herself a product of the former east germany highlighted the successes of rain if you cation but she acknowledged that there was still work to do. and you know in advance if you are in the 29 years that have gone by since for unification an incredible amount has been achieved overall in both western and eastern germany people are now more contented with their lives than is any other time since reunification but we also know that that is not the whole truth surveys show that 29 years since reunification the majority of people fro

germany began to provide maybe a with development aid more than to any other country but germany didn't acknowledge the genocide in its former colony or issue an official apology. the signs of colonial rule remained ever present like at these nameless graves in a cemetery and. the people of namibia wanted recognition of their suffering and acknowledgement of the lasting wounds of the colonial past. in 2011 representatives of the heavier unama people went to berlin to reclaim some of the remains that had been sent from the concentration camps nearly a century before. a joint ceremony was planned at the shanty to a hospital where many of the skull still were but all did not go as smoothly as hoped. german government officials were reluctant to receive the emissaries from namibia the delegation was told that the skulls were from head to toe and number of people who had died in namibia. the cause of death and the genocide remained unmentioned. the namibian delegation had hoped for an apology just as the german government had demanded for turkey with respect to the genocide against the armen

aid to germany. this was strategically brilliant because the quakers in the united states do not and did not stem from germany. they came from englund. there pacifists. by putting a quaker face on u.s. aid, rather than frustrated or angry german americans, this made the cause much bigger than just the german-american group. he was able to raise much more money because of that. the quakers were the face of aid and then they received a lot of the food aid from the ara and from other organizations. they were already in germany before hoover asked them to expand in the fall of 1919. they started opening shop officially in february 1920. this is a photograph of a warehouse in homburg. this is food that is meant for german children. the american friends service many learned a lot from what had gone on in belgium. hoover and his men perfected the best way to feed children. in their work and feeding children in belgium and northern france. what they did was they would select children based on these measureme

what i'm going to try to do is tell you a story about what it was like to be in germany as a civilian during the first world war and the years following. as part of that story, i'll be disgusting herbert hoover and some of the things he did to alleviate the suffrage in germany which had been a big enemy and ally of the united states. for me, one of the things i enjoyed so much of my research is seeing his compassion for people that were very unpopular and were ready to encourage others to feel that same compassion and safe ability in life. here's the book i'm, going to start by telling you about something about the british blockade. right when the war started the british government started the introduction of goods and they have a strict legal meaning but this blockade and in many things between that included food and also fertilizer. since then, over the past century the scholars have discussed this and they say a blockade had no impact whatsoever and other scholars who argue that it had a huge impact on germany and what i did was wanted to ask a question about what was the administr

overall so this bigger problem that germany is facing now in terms of far right violence how does germany plan to go about stopping that i mean regardless of the target as you mention you know what we heard a lot about it in a press conference this week with the interior minister horse they offer he said there's going to be more policing in front of he was referring to jewish sites synagogues maybe also muslim sites and other places of worship he was saying that that won't just be temporary will be permanent increase in security he's talking about maybe changing laws or getting more involved with tackling online hate speech he specifically said that germany has a lot more tools available to it in the analog world it doesn't have in the digital world. but these are all very low level and in a sense easier. ways to address this it doesn't get at the bigger questions of who's in who's out of german society so in other words i mean do these steps go far enough is what we heard from interior minister they all for example does. going far enough in terms of security you can throw as many laws an

we know from the past that in germany a lot of people are supporting a president out of one but others supporting kodesh. population in turkey and in the area and in iraq we have a debate among those political groups in germany i think they should continue by debating that but my my demand on them is to the to that peacefully and to discuss the things but not taking any any action against the other groups because in germany every everyone has a right to state his his position but have has not the rights to take violent action thank you so much for talking to us talking to you know going hot foreign policy spokesman for the conservative parties in the german parliament. thank you so this is still believed by from our top story this hour 2 people killed in shooting attacks at a synagogue and a kebab shop in the east and the city of hama. police custody. because brady is that well bring us up to date. well actually the latest news that we're just hearing now from some source is talking to the german press agency have been saying that police now now think that there was just one attack in
