East germany could she have done more to bridge the divide also in the program. Ending scenes like these hong kong is said to lose in rules governing the use of force by police and made that face mobs to get an update from our correspondent at the scene. And Prime Minister a bar is johnson tells parliament his meal breaks the plan is the last chance to get a deal and its now under debate why keep building because. Chile is marking the anniversary of the countrys reunification 29 years ago east and west germany became one nation after decades of hostile division during the cold war there. Michel commemoration ceremonies this year took place in the Northern City of kiel german president front father steinmeyer and chancellor Angela Merkel took part along with some 700. 00 invited guests the theme of this years unity Day Festivities is courage connects. Speaking at the event chancellor matic cautioned that more work is vital to achieve equal conditions between east and invest in germany. You know in a month in the 29 years that have gone by since reunification an incredible amount been achieved overall in both western and eastern germany people are now more content with their lives than at any other time since we unification but we also know that this is not the whole truth of a show that 29 years after reunification the majority of people from east in germany feel like 2nd class citizens. And for some analysis im joined now by a senior Political Correspondent and my colleague peter gave it craven welcome peter nice to have you here. The chancellor as we heard knowledged that the shortcomings of german unification with the focus very much on the people from eastern germany how do you think theyll respond to her comments it was interesting i found it was very much sure there was a lot of praise from the chancellor to begin with in this address for the peaceful revolution back in 90. 9 to lead to the fall of the berlin wall of the years in advance of that she talked about his german dissidents about the courage that shone about what the courage of ordinary eastern germans had shown by going out on the streets or leaving the country risking everything including their lives to leave the country but then she seemed to imply that people were taking too little responsibility they were blaming the states they were blaming the league for their woes and their troubles in recent years she said there was she said really that there was too much moaning now she didnt say who was doing them loading there she was there she was pylon saying but it was clearly by implication too many instruments remoting and not taking responsibility not showing the courage to face. And im not sure how well that will go down among eastern german voters and viewers and listeners she did talk about divisions between former east germany and west germany that shes been chancellor shes into a 4th she has said is from east and do you think she could have done more to bridge this divide. Whether. Or not sort of my opinion is very important an awful lot of people here in germany do think that angloamerican this is after all her 4th term in office shes been dominant the dominant force in german politics for so very long and a lot of people are saying look this happened on her watch that so many recent germans have become disillusioned 57 percent saying they feel like 2nd class citizens she ought to have done more especially as an east german and somehow for some reason weve never really worked out quite why she has shied away from taking the role of designating the people of eastern germany as her constituency or at least as an important constituency for. Peter craven thank you very much for those insights. Into address chancellor merkel acknowledged that not everything had gone smoothly since reunification and that goes both for the east and the west as we hear in our next report. Martina in amman is the matter of dresden shes a local politician whos had to give up her job. The move was triggered by disobedience from a supermarket in arms dos that made headlines around the country 3 years ago. A patient from the local clinic a mentally ill refugee from iraq was dragged from a shop by 3 men and then tied to a tree with cable ties these selfappointed lauren forces talked about having civil courage but the mad publicly criticized them. I saw excessive violence in this video and i dont think it was civil courage it was vigilante behavior so its just its thats when the threats came thick and fast and mostly on the internet she collapsed with burnout syndrome and has been on sick leave since the beginning of the year. Does not. The psychologist says that this process caused something in me akin to trauma. That germanys president. Took an interest in her case and invited her to his official residence in berlin he hoped to persuade her to continue but the massively found it impossible to hold office even though 75 percent of voted for her didnt have the distinct impression that the vast majority of people support democracy what i want is for that majority to be louder and visible.

Much damage from the uncertainty generated by the repercussions of label change and people see that the International Order with which they grew up and which meant peace for them is no longer being respected by everyone. From the 1st pick to. The fear of losing an identity thats true in 2019 across germany in the west as well as in the east. And the craven upper tical correspondent is still with me so peter that report raised some questions and one of them was about the fear of losing identity what does that mean well i think this is about identity politics moving center stage in politics not just in germany not just in eastern germany western germany but in the whole of europe and indeed in many many different parts of the world and the. Speech today and kill was very much the young girl americal the liberal doctrine of the wrangle america has has brought into german politics in the 1st free and now her 4th term in german as german chancellor saying that we you know the law is based values based pluralism checks and balances appealing to people in the political process tell us how the emotions get involved being. You know be say what you want and what you need to play by the rules stay calm and play by the rules that is essentially the miracle doctrine and that is what she was talking about today in large measure so tell us looking ahead what was chancellor merkels message on 40 of reaping the benefits of the unification. Her message warns. A lot of people have said yes joe germany unity has been achieved an awful lot of money more than 2 trillion euros has gone east and been invested in Infrastructure Projects that have been a channel for lots of interest in german towns look a lot more polished a niche that western german towns got the facades might be polished in minutes but the time has come one pundit said this week i thought was very good comment timely salute to announce a look behind the facades to find out what people have got in their heads because theres a definite clash of mentalities east and west and it is perhaps becoming a little bit more toxic than lust talks about is the fear you know its a relief occasion is still Unfinished Business is very much armors a very much and physically wounded obvious Political Correspondent thank you very much for that analysis.

On october the 17th if brussels decides to support the plan the u. K. Can bend of the European Union with an agreement at the end of this month Boris Johnson has faced fall event to outline his plan for the 1st time this afternoon lets hear what he had to say. This governments objective has always been to be with a deal will be constructive and reasonable proposals show our seriousness of purpose they do not deliver everything we would have wished they do represent a compromise but to remain a prisoner of existing positions is to become a cause of deadlock rather than breakthrough. And joining me now from brussels is fun bent riggers and in london we have a shot of boss welcome to both of you shall let us start with you if i mean a prime that said johnson says hes solved the biggest Sticking Point in this riggs of pro system north island border whats this plan.

After being briefed by me showed on the she from the goetia for brooks of the European Union the 37 reacted cautiously and. Reluctantly saying well theres still work needed it is good that the proposed on the table but as it looks right now these proposals are not workable they are not replacing the famous in famous backstop the reassurance for ireland that there would be no hard border between Northern Ireland and island so lots of work has to be done and also this Steering Committee of the European Parliament said these proposals are not even remotely that what they expect from the United Kingdom and they are looking for more proposals or crew there if occasions from the european from the United Kingdom and on friday didnt go through the media in brussels and try to hammer out something more realistic. And i shall have does johnson have the votes in him and to get this deal if its reached toward to get this through.

P. A. Bricks the ts and now rallying behind him they havent done that before a behind a deal but there are also many many critics in palm and so he is going to have a very tough time there the numbers are just not there at the moment as we see it and he is therefore keeping the threat of a no deal breaks it open he reiterated that today in palm and he said clearly addressed to the European Union but also to the m. P. s assembled in parliament there saying i will take out the u. K.

Where President Donald Trump is attacked his political opponents are in a White House Photo session with the visiting president of finland a tramp especially harsh towards House Intelligence Committee chair democrat adam schiff his father of what trump had to say im sure hes a lowlife you should be forced to resign and frankly they should look at him for treason because he is making up the words of the president of the United States not only words but the meaning that its a disgrace and should not be allowed to happen. Trump was referring to a statement in which shift paraphrased the gist of a phone call between trump and ukraines president in which democrats say truong abused his office right now democrats have launched an impeachment inquiry of the president s election abuses which trump has condemned as part of an attempt to subvert the will of american voters. The white house is boosting itself defenses outside the security fence is being raised from 2 to 4 meters to keep out unwanted visitors and inside its all hands on deck for the impeachment inquiry on wednesday the president continued to defend himself against accusations of misusing his position as well as having acted against the u. S. Constitution trump alleges he is facing a coup and he says he was in the right to ask ukraines president to investigate his political rival joe biden and his family i have a duty to report corruption and let me tell you something biden sure is corrupt and biden is corrupt and id rather run against by then almost any of those candidates and i think theyre all week. But i think biden has never been a smart guy and hes less smart now than he ever was one of the main witnesses called forward in the investigation into trump is u. S. Secretary of state mike compay whos currently in italy on wednesday he admitted to having been present during trumps call to the ukrainian president but he was frustration at subpoenas from congress. And we wont tolerate folks on capitol hill bowling intimidating state Department Employees thats unacceptable and its not something that im going to permit to happen the Political Climate in washington is getting even hotter in Congress Democrats accuse the secretary of state of keeping key witnesses from testifying any effort by the secretary by the president or anyone else to interfere with the congresss ability to call before it relevant witnesses will be considered as evidence of obstruction of a lawful functions of congress the battle of a questioning witnesses and turning over documents is only beginning lawyer john decker reports for the conservative Fox News Network and is an expert on impeachment he claims the facts known so far dont prove any illegal actions by the president but that a lot still remains unclear. If there were evidence for instance of a quid pro quo of a deal that the president made with the president of ukraine saying essentially if you investigate the bidens i will then release the 400000000. 00 in aid that the United States has promised you that would be hard to defend for republicans even if you are the biggest supporter of the president the president s fortifications are holding so far with Senate Republicans continuing to support him it would take a 2 thirds majority there to remove him from office.
