Nobel peace prize laureates reminiscing about the fall of the berlin wall 30 years on. The most important thing was that the germans didnt leave the streets in cities across germany they said we are one nation we have to reunite. You. With friendship between scorpions and michelle you go by chance goes back to the final days of the soviet union when the countrys last leader invited the band to the kremlin now 30 years after the fall of the berlin wall the rockers are thanking him again. For people. Without him german reunification and the fall of the berlin wall wouldnt have happened so peacefully it wouldnt have been the peaceful revolution that it was where no one fired a shot the fact that no one died and that the tanks didnt roll in that november the night to gorbachev is on. Go watch yourself about. Of course the main reason for the bands moscow visit was this sold out stadium concert. More than 10000 scorpions fans turned out to see the band sing their song about the last days of the iron curtain. Rods. In a. Bomb hit. A. Song i just missed was on a cleft the song hasnt lost any of its power or its message namely were all still longing for a more Peaceful World its more than anything else. A World Without all the hate the aggression the wars and the conflicts that are currently still happening. Does was suicide. In the time. In the future. To what. Was good. In the late 1980 scorpions where one of the 1st western bands to play in the soviet union it was there that closed mind it was inspired to write wind of change. Parents came with tanks we came with guitars it was a new generation plus minus says music can build bridges where politics cant he and his band continue to tour the world with that message then they need back in moscow soon michaud got a chance invited the rockers to his 90th birthday in 2 years time if im still alive he said theres no doubt about what song theyll play. Here. All this week were marking the fall of the wall anniversary with reports from locations that played key roles in that historic event and many of them of course attract thousands of tourists today but there are some less obvious locations just as deserving of a mention one of them is underground and only visible now for the very 1st time a rediscovered escape tunnel from the year 971 has been officially opened to the public and our reporter Adrian Kennedy was there. Were here for the reopening of a famous escape tunnel from year 1971 it began here at 143. 00. And was supposed to end just beyond that road. West and freedom so lets take. The train 9611909 at least 254 people escaped from east to west via tunnels under the border. The most successful. 57. To defect. But at least 4 people have died and 200 were arrested this is the story of a tunnel that was discovered by German Authorities tantalizingly short of completion. By work on this channel. I was in east berlin and in Early September 1961 about 4 weeks after the wall was built it might escape to west berlin or the sewer system. And then friends and i thought about what we could do about this dam wall and how we could get our friends from the east. We decided to dig a tunnel. Known he worked on for tunnels the most successful allowed 29 people to a sky. His final channel was begun in 1970 as an engineer wife who was responsible for the precise calculation of the route to a house 100 meters away in the east. So this tunnel began in a building that used to stand on lac corner in the west here was the wall the tunnel started in the west and it went in the kurth round here and down to that house almost 50 years after 5 years final tunnel was buried under rubble by the stars see its back in the spotlight the berlin mayor is here to cut the ribbon and usher the 1st visitors in. Lets go. So here we are in the new access tunnel. They can see the woods its. The cost of a big experience gives a unique insight into the Great Lengths people would go to to escape from the communist east. In this case the tunnel was discovered shortly before completion. Almost in the end amas being incredibly disappointing to have it be discovered that this is so few meters from the actual destination here in the Civil Engineer says hes not a hero just an engineer. Would not see in real time a was already about a 110 meters long and then the Border Police started using ultrasound machines to search for the title give it into a new and government bodies also then the jig was up we had to start with. This is the picture that the east German Secret Police took of all rishta. So far watching them destroying his tongue off the its discovery. Now parts of that sound on has been dumped witness to dark cold war history. German born director holand best known for his blockbuster disaster films like Independence Day or godzilla with his latest effort hes getting more serious with a cinematic tribute to the young men who died in the little known battle of midway a story of this pivotal world war 2 battle between the u. S. And japan in the Pacific Theater has been told before in a 1976 version for instance starring charles and heston but its never been told quite like this. Roland emmerich starts with the story we all know december 7th 1941 the japanese attack on pearl harbor. The greatest military defeat in u. S. History and the trigger that brought america into world war 2 intelligence failures. Then he tells a story few people know the build up and battle between the u. S. And japan at the Pacific Island of midway just 6 months later a fight many historians say decided the war and a story largely forgotten even in hollywood. Brings his full arsenal of special effects to recreate the epic scope of the battle in which 300. 00 americans and nearly 4000. 00 japanese lost their lives to the but still. It took the german director whos lived in hollywood for decades more than 20 years to bring midway to the screen the director of science 5 blockbusters like Independence Day and the day after to morrow knew this time hed have to get his facts right. Midway incredibly well documented battle. Both in film and endless books about it and we like kind of didnt invent anything but just try to tell the story as good as we can. To highlight Woody Harrelson as gruff admiral chester nimitz so whats the target i think its important in getting peoples concept of world war 2 right because there were a lot of very crucial events that happened the course of world war 2 most of which people are familiar with but. People who are not generally familiar with the battle of midway i wasnt i think its great that the people who were involved in getting the credit they deserve. The result is a thrilling and convincing. There was plenty of American Pride on display when emerick and the midway cast premiere the film for the u. S. Navy but midway is not jingoistic emericks depiction of the japanese is balanced and empathetic the director actually sees midway as an anti war movie with a message for the National Politics of today. We have a rise in national or some fascism right now all over the world so its great to remind people that there were once people who fought against fascism and bush heroes and you know like kind of defended democracy. With midway Roland Emmerich is trying to remind his adopted country really need to break heres hoping that message doesnt get drowned out by the who rock chants of american nationalism. And before we sign off well go to the french capital where he photo the Worlds Largest art photography fair opened its doors on thursday at the.
