the reunification in germany, and it is a debate also about the new heart of the new capital of reunified germany. so it was in the beginning more a discussion about the architecture, about urban development, what to do with the site where originally, for centuries, the main residence of the hohenzollern monarchy. a prussian palace was here. yes, a prussian palace. and after the second world war, when it was torn down, heavily damaged in the war by the communist regime, it was replaced in the 19705 by the so called palace of the republic, the most iconic building of east germany, where i grew up. and. but it was full of asbestos. this was one of the reasons to close the building. and then a huge discussion started immediately after reunification and you see the results, so, finally, after ten years of discussion, or more than ten years, the federal parliament decided in 2002, more than 20 years ago, to reconstruct
in the 21st century? we are in very good contacts with colleagues in the emirates or in china and looking carefully around. i think it s interesting to see what happens in these countries and.but i believe it is not a convincing idea to export european or western museums worldwide. how a museum works in singapore or in brazil, it depends on the situation in these countries and, but internationally or globally, we have to rethink and to really find what a museum could be, and i think we can learn a lot from different types of museums, especially, for instance, somewhere in the favela in southern america, it s perhaps more influential on museums than the big, new building, iconic
day for many of us. now, on the satellite picture, there is a line of cloud across the uk, that is a weather front, it s been bringing rain. and early in the morning, it is going to be raining across east anglia, the south east and central southern england, as this weather front gradually moves towards the east. but behind it, a large area of high pressure is building in, and that means settled weather for many of us. so here s the forecast through the early hours. you can see where the cloud and the rain is. but even once the weather front clears away, still a few showers behind it. it will be on the nippy side across some parts of the country. temperatures in glasgow and edinburgh around four celsius, but in the southeast, around ten. so early in the morning, there will be some cloud and rain in the southeast. eventually that weather front clears away, and then it s a case of sunny spells and scattered showers maybe in northern ireland, scotland, northern england and further east as
