Now right very hard to pronounce 4 or 9 servants i guess all right youve said it before is a very very small place but it was also a very famous place in germany because it was divided between east and west and for my compare this journey to berlin is also a very emotional journey back in time because he used to be a u. S. Soldier he was based in bavaria in a very small town and he also likes telling that back then he patrols the iron curtain and he likes telling that story so for him this is also a journey back in the eightys and to us bilateral relations learning that arent as close as being used to be so what are the expectations of pomp is a visit to germany. Well since President Trump took office and 2017th. The situation of that relations between the u. S. And germany have gotten a little complicated to put it mildly.

The fell abrasions to mark the fall of the world 30 years ago are growing across germany all week within a year after that momentous event east and west germany were reunified at least at a political level but socially and economically reunification has been difficult and major differences remain at multiple levels the dam is linda few eka has this report. This is bear no washed us in the middle of berlin the wall is still here but as a memorial the citys physical division ended long ago but there are still great differences between east and west incomes remain higher in the west thats visible in each paycheck. The income gap may have narrowed over the past 30 years but on average westerners still earn a lot more. Reunification brought with it the collapse of almost all industry in east germany virtually nothing came along to replace it it wasnt for lack of money the government invested 1. 6 trillion euros in the former east. But high paying jobs are rare in the east mind you 3 percent of Major Companies are in the west another key difference in the number of leadership positions in the east versus west after reunification the top jobs in politics education and commercial were filled by westerners what started as a quick solution to replace eastern germany executives has stayed almost entirely in place. Federal judges University Chancellor senior government officials Corporate ExecutivesDecision Making positions are only filled by easterners. Only 1. 7 percent of top leadership jobs are held by eastern germans. Theres also a lingering feeling of dissatisfaction in the eastern part of the country 57 percent of easterners according to polls consider themselves 2nd class citizens that discontent also comes to the surface in elections the far right populist alternative for germany is twice as strong in the east as in the west. Its. Recent Election Results have shaken the political establishment bringing east and west together is proving much harder than expected Great Strides have been made since 1809. 00 but experts say it will take decades more until the differences dividing germany are truly overcome.

And germanys defense minister wants the countrys military to take on more responsibility internationally in a speech setting out new defense priorities and a great comp whats the said it was time for jim need to be more robust about representing its own interests and shes proposed setting up a new National Security council so and thats a National Security council of this nature would make her contributions to International Crisis management faster and more effective it could also make an important contribution to how we formulate Foreign Policy strategy through foresighted agenda setting. So for more on that im joined by our chief political editor. We say that tell us more about this idea of a National Security council how is it supposed to work. Well you didnt go into the nitty gritty details but clearly here she is aiming for more streamlined policy geared towards german National Security interests in this National Security council and that would stretch from Economic Policy but also to International Development aid this is Something Like that countries like the United States have been doing for decades here in germany is something of a novelty and it could meet quite a bit of resistance here in germany as well and the defense minister. Also outlined new priorities and a vision for the German Armed Forces what did she say she basically said that germany needs to be engaged more that it has to become more of a player do strategically and she didnt which usually is what you hear from german politicians including the german chancellor Angela Merkel that did not exclude a committing more troops to regions like this are held area where germany already has troops stationed in the country of mali but she also mentioned the indopacific that there needed to a push be a push back towards china joining allies there this is a completely new take a new commitment shes a voice there and quite clearly this is not German Government policy but this is the woman who wants to become machall successor is german chancellor so shes taking quite a bit of Political Risk here.

On the football and match day full of the Champions LeagueDave Bronczek from the sports desk is here to talk us through the action welcome dave not to the games left in the group stage and weve already had a couple of a few teams which have qualified any favorites among them yes so p. S. G. Eventis and byron munich are the 3 1st teams to go through and there are some of the biggest teams in the world so of course you always expect them to be in the mix but im not sure if i call any of them really favorites byron got through for instance and they are in the midst of some complete chaos at the moment theyre really struggling actually just last weekend they let go of their coach. And have had interim coach flick run the show for the 1st time last night so theyre going through a lot and still manage to get through it and we actually have a quote from him see about that. Its been made a nice and im very pleased with it so foremost the team puts on its not been an easy week for the players and stuff off the coaching change. Weve reached the last 16 of the Champions League and we have very happy feet. So hung fi flick the interim coach is very happy but it was after all a lack enough to performance by buying music is that enough to reassure fans that mines back in form for the season can save the season yeah byron really werent very convincing in their 2 nil win over the coasts they displayed a lot of the kind of issues that theyve been showing over recent weeks their defending was really out of sorts and once again they were bailed out by a goal from robert the bosky he keeps scoring but if he wasnt around you hate to think what theyd even look like and as far as the flick goes hes only been there a couple of days and i dont really expect him to be very long so things are still in flux and at the end of the day its byron munich there are always you know title favorites or at least in that discussion absolutely the bines win was obviously a big guy live as we said but there was plenty of action are flies in Champions League and theyve also some surprises it was truly a wild night you had rodrigo an 18 year old for real madrid become the 2nd youngest player in the history of the competition to get a hat trick you had to shock hard to nascar have a crazy last minute comeback from 31 down against you know but for me what really was the highlight of all this the most interesting thing was Manchester City right back kyle walker who you see there behind us had to throw on the gloves and getting a goal for 10 minutes which is really a very rare thing it only happened because the 1st keeper was injured and had to come off and then the 2nd one received a red card so walker saw self behind the between the sticks and actually he counted pretty well for himself he didnt do too bad though he might want to stick to his usual position. And give granny. Thank you very much of a get up to date with all thats floating action.

I can miss africa has no cinemas in recent years all the nations movie theaters have closed because people prefer to watch cable t. V. Which is cheaper than going to a movie thats tough for filmmakers whove been deprived of a local market but it hasnt stopped bashed and directors from going out on location and rolling the camera. The cameras are rolling in cameroon every month several low budget movies are made by independent filmmakers here. Raise oh but theres a problem on Distribution Companies or even movie theaters filmmakers like direct to can you quantify off force to find other ways to show off their work some raise funds by holding exclusive premieres for friends and family oh they get lucky in those if in 1st of all on the story youre telling is good enough and you get lucky to be selected in the 1st of all you can have the opportunity to have your people sue a movie or if you are for some reason so powerful that it delivers from by.
