I know theyre good morning just going to clock here in moscow you watching r. T. International now 30 years ago the burning more was torn down reuniting east and west berlin and heralding the beginning of the end of the cold war security is high ahead of major celebrations across the country today in burlington thousands are expected to take part in numerous events including a variety of exhibitions on the walls history for those who cant attend his arty jacqueline the go with the story of the war. The berlin wall a symbol of the cold war and division a line that separated the city families friends and changed berlin for the remainder of the 20th century 40 kilometers long at slice of the city and was erected on the night of august 13th 1961 1st it was just a barbed wire and concrete france with 12 checkpoints but it swiftly. Grew into the fortified version most know it today the checkpoints were reduced to 3 and crossing became all but impossible. Imagine this a concrete wall 3. 6 meters high and 1. 2 meters wide a smooth filner running along the top to prevent anyone climbing over watchtowers every 200 meters by 962 a 2nd wall was built around 100 meters and east berlin territory this buffer zone became known as the death strip the soft sand to show footprints floodlights tripwires and machine guns the guards had permission to shoot on sight and had vicious dogs the more elaborate the wall became the more created for the waste across it 5000 people managed to get through climbing over climbing under through the sewers and even and hot air balloons more than 100 died trying the fearsome bear that emerged seemingly overnight and just as rapidly on nov 9th 19891000 storm the checkpoint unborn homer street at 10 45 pm the head of the checkpoint held jagger overwhelmed by the crowd gave way and open the gate the other soon followed. Was jimmy celebrates reunification to some it seems the country still divided with an invisible line separating east and west eventually success explains. Through the center of berlin one can see how much effort the German Government has put for the 30th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall it almost seems that the country was never to fight it it is difficult to identify characteristics of socialist architecture between the multi ethnic restaurants and bars but leaving the center you see in the west and east still remain intact 3 decades after the fall of the wall even chancellor Angela Merkel admits it. Was show that in georgia a full east german citizens in todays german nation if you like 2nd class citizens according to those less than 40 percent of germans think that reunification was successful among those under 14 and even the figure. Reason round 20 percent instant lesson ha ha satisfied with democracy in germany former interior minister told us that his one said that for east germans everything has changed but for west germans only their postal cold and 30 years on his comments seem to be quite superficial a recent study shows the significant gap between the west and the east in terms of wages and unemployment and as a result of these inequalities fresh ration ends in a phobia seem to be taking over the people even after 30 years of their reunification germany still struggles to accept that the Country House multiple identities the berlin wall was put up to stop migration from east to west nile the idea seems to be life again since 2015 during the refugee crisis the country saw more than 1000000 Asylum Seekers in germany now theyre blaming them for decreasing the wages and taking advantage of their welfare system its not a surprise that one in 2 germans believe that the country could not handle any more refugees saying it has reached its limits and its no surprise a nationalist sentiments are on the rise of the city of those that has been declared a state of nazi emergency in the recent talk on synagogue in how he has shown that more than a quarter of germans hold anti semitic beliefs. I would like to point out once again that some dont want to admit this the threat of antisemitism in rightwing terrorism is high in germany and one of the areas that we also classify as high as that is islam is terror which remains you know field of view we make no compromises there but we have to approach this phenomenon with anti semitism right wing extremism it with the same intensity you could see why people are happy the wall is down and everybody is united but the rise of seen a phobia is bringing the increase of hate crimes all the chanter fight and. Marginalized communities should remind germany that or even if it is a process rather than just a public holiday. We spoke to fix a grossman hes an american who defected to the soviet union in 1952 and then moved to many he told r. T. Why he thinks things were better back then. The old days a people almost most people seemed to have more money than they could spend because there were not enough luxury goods in the shops so that they had money to go to advocation and so forth not everybody but a large number today many many people and especially children are suffering from a severe lack of money this is another problem which has taken place and makes me think after 30 years that as with many of the ends in the World History is a good side and a bad side to everything and there were some bad sides to this makes me i should add still said that that experiment the g. D. R. A part of germany at least as it was only a small part of the poor apart but at least one part of germany where they could really almost completely get rid of poverty this was an achievement which has rarely been it a reach any place in the world i think to a great extent the g. D. R. Reach that that nobody really feared suffering from poverty even 2 generations in germany could not get rid of fascist ideas and racist ideas in peoples heads but in east germany if they still had them. They kept to themselves they were they didnt voice them publicly they may have voiced them among the family in the family of Close Friends but not publicly now today and after the wall went down f. You saw it right near my home whole columns of really fascist thugs with swastikas if they can if they can somehow disguise them a little with this fascist slogans and looking like just the same as the s. S. Man 80 years ago and this is one of the most frightening things about the fall of the wall. Now the us thank you stayed my pump i also went to berlin to commemorate the fall of the war and hes the cajun to take a jab at china and russia. Everyone in this room has a duty we must recognize that freemasons are in competition of values with those unfree nations today russia led by a former k. G. B. Officer stationed in dresden invade his neighbors and slays political opponents the Chinese Communist party used this tactic his methods to suppress its own people that would be horrifyingly familiar to former east germans. Well the former cia chief pompei there did some of his military service patrolling the berlin wall but his attendance at the ceremony was also greeted criticism too from one of germanys biggest outlets dont you velour it asked when u. S. Troops would finally leave germany there are currently almost 40000. 00 u. S. Military personnel remaining in the country journalist and author Thomas Fassbender says washington thing is losing influence. This is a rather cheap effort at we kind ling cold war nostalgia reported that way kind ling german in the face of russia because the best way of course to do that the best way to develop a strong enemy image among german politicians and populations is to picture or to paint brush in the mold as close as possible in the mold of the soviet union one of the central features of the us jews to thinking as i see it is losing control over germany that germany might at one point early or later take her own fate into her own hands keeping large armies with tanks and soldiers along the russian border is from my point of view a few of which the fact of which of the intention of which is mainly to keep western europe within a status of things and fear of russia in order to stay close to the folds of the u. S. G. Used to d. G. Interests. Now they hate him but they want him as the syrian president bashar assad describes the relations between europe and the turkish leader in exclusive interview with arties going underground thanks the 1st time hes spoken to an International Channel in more than a year you can watch the. View full on monday here at r. T. As well as on our website at r. T. Dot com and hes a pretty. I know youre antagonistic with nato nations turkey but with dirty work and arguably yourself must be aware that western policy is liable for blowback into the European Union would have you made of the European Union governments response to the possible. Outflow of british eyes is that his fate is back into the European Union how dangerous is it to be in london today or paris or berlin. Actually the relation between. The e. U. Is always they hate him but they want him. They dont do that in they know that he is phonetic islamist they know this and theyre the no that is going to send them both. Extremist or maybe terrorists egypt in many refugees from your country of many of them from syria and some of them know theyre coming from different areas in the world not only syria actually but the majority are syrian up all of them are extremist mob the measure 2 of them are actually muscled the turkey theyd have to because of the terrorism in syria because of the bombardment of the terrorists and so on. So they dont want him but the same time the fear him but from the other side lets hear that thing doing those. Syrian and other. Is dangerous the most dangerous on europe is to support the terrorists in syria this is the most dangerous part so this is hypocrisy how can you fear those few 1000000 the majority of them are moderates and they have few to while you but you support those dear is there to clean 100 in tens of thousands at least. And maybe hundreds of thousands in syria and you dont hear that theyre going to go back to a country. Now brazils former president Lula Da Silva has walked free from prison on thursday amas greeted by chanting supporters. I do his Early Release was made possible by a new court ruling that allows convicted criminals to avoid prison if they have not exhausted their appeals hundreds of his supporters took to the streets of san paolo to celebrate. This looks like emotional you cannot imagine what this day means to me this is the victory of democracy of it and hope for brazil that rule is free rule is the hope of this country the president always cared for the poor who always look after poor people ruling the street today lula forever. Its a very happy day for me and many others because lho was freed weve been waiting for justice to happen our country is our joke i believe we have a reason to celebrate and renew our energy to continue wishing for a better country a happier brazilian people im secure we are here to celebrate hope will win over fear democracy will be reestablished in this country lula is free. Really the soviet was brazilian president from 2003 to 2010 years ago though he was convicted of corruption and Money Laundering and sentenced to 12 years in prison in the himself denies any wrong doing this there was a twist to this case because the leak conversation did reveal that the prosecutor and the judge were privately discussing the case hasnt it been a long time without an operation you cannot make that kind of mistake now but think hard whether thats a good idea what do you think of these crazy statements from the Workers PartyNational Board should with fishel rebut. Well earlier my colleague neil harvey i did speak in the studio with him and hes the chief editor of the brazilian news site opera monday now we out of jail. Have a very has a very important tend because its going to be deleted off the wall position lulay is going to be walking on the streets talking to the people i mean officially hes powerless new from participation in politics he took bodies much bigger than hes able to do that with this decision of the Supreme Court hes totally free to do what he wants to do including any kind of Political Action is part of the decision i remember from when i was in brazil for the 24 Team President lula was astounding but it was clear this man is greatly loved in brazil hes got a huge fan base a real presence know him just being out and about with the electorate does that put a lot of pressure on the current president im sure it will because now the opposition is going to have a leader up to this time to mount after both a man to. The opposition of both not have a leader improve you has not really in conditions to talk to people now with ruler walking and talking on the street the opposition is going to have a very important leader that i think is going to chant political situation in brazil im sure about that but i also spoke clearly to silva himself while he was still in prison he told us brazil should defend itself and see and resist political meddling from outside. No one has to accept foreign interference in the affairs of a sovereign state i do not support american brazilian colombian or any other interference their attempts to control another country by promoting their own candidates by creating a fake figurehead like one guy joe im totally against this there are situations that a democratic country has to deal with on its own. You brazil is a very big country it can be fully sovereign it could become one of the main actors on International Policy by admire the role that president putin plays in the modern world it shows that the world cannot be held hostage to u. S. Policy to troops crazy or the craziness of a us president who believes that he could invade any country kill the president somebody has to stop him and brazil complete the house. Now the International Monetary fund says it is ready to renegotiate the terms of a massive loan to argentina with its president elect but if a mandate is to train elections last month fernandez made we negotiating the i. M. F. Loan central to his Campaign Promises to territory and save on the fold a larger team is almost 300000000000. 00 in debt at the moment inflation this year is approaching 55 percent of it is also a major concern to the Unemployment Rate reaching a decade high our sister channel r. T. Spanish was the 1st international lets you interview president elect and and as told our host and former president of ecuador. How argentina found itself in this dire situation. Yet up with your we are now. Now faced with problems that were previously unknown to us in 2015 argentina faced inflation a lack of foreign reserves a dollar peg but it didnt have excessive debts but after korea came he started to add to debt arguing it would help to reduce Budget Surplus and the barring reached an all time record in one and a half years at some point the market told him no im not going to give you any more because you wont give me anything back so what did machree do you mean he asked the r. And f. To help and after that the i. M. F. Loans him 57000000000. 00 which is 60 percent of the worlds debt to be. In other words 60 percent of the amount that the i. M. F. Has lent to the whole world falls on one country argentina why did they give this money to support machree so that he can stay on as president the most expensive Political Campaign in Human History is the Creek Campaign it cost argentines 57000000000. 00 everyone knows that the International Monetary fund is an accomplice to what happened and everyone knows that european leaders who at that moment complained about loans granted by the i know that everyone knows that i firmly believe that we will negotiate properly and we must tell the truth because our goal is to pay off the debt and not to a very debt. Now the International Criminal court at the hague has method that is highest ever penalty to a congo rebel warlord joins a growing list of africans convicted by the court of crimes against humanity trying to their lives why the i. C. C. Does seem to almost exclusively deal with war criminals from africa. This is a very special court its out there only to rule on cases such as genocide crimes against humanity war crimes its called the International Criminal court or the i. C. C. And wont sort out lets say your cousins divorce heres its latest verdict for. The attempted theres a crime against humanity and theres a war crime. For prosecution as a crime against humanity said to us of imprisonment this is the convict congolese rebel commander bosco into ganda indeed hell now serve 3 decades for everything he did during a nightmarish civil war in the heart of africa the crimes have been well documented by activists so probably no one will argue the man got what he deserved. It cant bring back his victims but the International Criminal courts 30 year sentence for congolese rebel leader bosco into gumba signals that even those who once thought themselves untouchable could one day be brought to justice a signal for the intelligible ok and the wait just a few minutes of research will show that all people whove ever been indicted by the i. C. C. Theres a few dozen have one thing in common theyre all from africa on the list not only rebel king pings but very top officials former leaders but again nobody from other parts of the globe sure the african continent has witnessed countless civil wars theres no need for any additional explanation for just how much blood was spilled there but what about the ugly record by the rest of the world once the court was to get the atrocities of the israeli arab conflict under its microscope heres the message that instantly came from washington the United States will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court. We will not cooperate with the i. C. C. We will provide no assistance to the i. C. C. And we certainly will not join the i. C. C. We will let the i. C. C. Die on its own after all for all intents and purposes the i. C. C. Is already dead. So far no ones felt the strong i. C. C. Hand when it comes to that middle east crisis earlier this year alleged american war crimes and of ghana stan came into focus. If youre responsible for the proposed i. C. C. Investigation of u. S. Personnel in connection with the situation in afghanistan you should not assume that you will still have or will get a visa or that you will be permitted to enter the United States the case over the afghan intervention unanimously rejected even tony blair could have appeared before the judges in there but you got it right its not something such a high at least seemed former u. K. V. I. P. Would go through they get a bit more into history and youll find out americas response to the very foundation of the i. C. C. Was Pay Attention to this one a law that authorizes the use of military force to liberate any american or a citizen of a u. S. Allied country being held by the court in the hague the message is clear if you dont want u. S. Marines storming the shores stick to the africans that someone say theres been a clear signal for the untouchable i believe that there are certain continents like africa and countries within that continent that are looked at with more scrutiny perhaps because they are less developed nations and have less power when it comes to their economies in the ability to shape the world policy and so its very easy to target those countries and to ignore some of the larger countries that might also be guilty of some of these things as well but have more influence the more slip sway globally. The United States sits in a very interesting and powerful position worldwide where we are able to exert influence over International Courts and to ignore those we want to ignore and to demand investigations where we want to demand them u. S. Government has a very simple policy which is that war crimes are never committed by the United States or by its military that it simply does not happen and when you take that view you immediately begin to turn around and say well we can punish anyone who thinks otherwise. Things are looking safe today were back again in about 35 minutes. World is driven by shaped by. The day or thinks. We dare to ask. Something. I think the men that we attract to the military you know weve got to the army of one you know be all you can be all those themes that weve had throughout the years very very heavily masculine masculinity cannot be victimized because if youre a leader if youre a masculine person and youre victimized then youre weak the problem is that anybody can be a victim of Sexual Assault. I join the service in 1972. The military is a great way of life. Cannot see the world. I got educated i love the military. Was 19 and i want to challenge all along and the next thing i know i was laying on the ground i was struck from behind. And you guys will hold me down one day i was pulling my pants down. And. You know. I was taking care of his business and you know struggled and i was being struck and hit and told you know told to shut up or theyd kill me. And i see how it destroyed my life. I mean ive been married 3 times to this luckily i have a wife right now who ive been married to for 25 years. You start wondering you start sort of you know youre coming up with reasons why things are the way they are and for a long time i kept thinking i dont know if this something something else. I had never told anybody over 30 years i decided to tell my wife. It was the scariest moment in my life i was going tell my wife she was going to leave me and i would be lost without her i mean i was to god i couldnt i couldnt get up every morning without my wife. You know. And i told i felt horrified and i felt sad and i felt angry and you know all along the course of the evening you know feelings just started to surface that were probably just simmering for a very very long time and she put her arms around me and were both sat there and sobbed it was like. This great weight had been lifted off for me. I think its important to recognize that military sexual trauma is not limited to women and in fact when it comes to the absolute numbers because of the proportion of men in much larger numbers than women actually the numbers are even greater. Or i think one of the last bits of research showed that about one percent of males had been victims of Sexual Assault within the past year in the military that equals
