A hat who acts very responsibly when crossing the street as well as works for us day and night. I think its the combination that makes him so popular the standing man is also something balanced and calm about it and a clear design like which. Is another traffic like that. 30 years after reunification the im to mention is celebrated as an east german success story. The traffic light men were 1st introduced in east berlin in 1900. Traffic psychologist carl piccolo wanted to design a pedestrian signal that caught peoples attention. Difficult to appeal to children and older people when using abstract pictograms. So i simply tried to translate their clarity into personified symbols. Lifelike and likable in this 1st designs the figure even had fingers on a mouse and karl big losses wife helped when it came to the half. The op to mention became recognizable symbols which in the 1980 s. Were used to teach children about road safety on east german t. V. And a friend who can help. After reunification in 1900. Step by step the west german pictogram gradually began to replace the east german complementary. Designer house and had just moved to the newly rina 5 berlin and witness the im to mention being replaced. After reunification i spent a lot of time Walking Around the former east berlin i was actually standing here at this intersection when they were changing the lights over there. And i thought id ask the workers there if i could have the old glass lendlease. Figured id be able to make something with them gradually i had the idea of turning them into lights. Because i may have saved the op of mention from extinction because lights caught peoples attention in the former east people mourn the loss of their man. Along with inventor called a pickle because some successfully fought to keep the. 1971 for mention were recognized in the road traffic regulations in 20051 of the 1st east german traffic like many west berlin was installed in the famous quarters. 30 years after german reunification a little matter more than just traffic suggests the southwest was on theres Something Special about them they dont get standardized they look as if theres something particular to the capital if you please of their very friendly and project a nice image of our city you dont have them in other cities. And it creates a nice atmosphere things we noticed him im afraid it brings bill culture and history to a place i shouldnt forget his gold tradition. The green walking red and the red standing band are now world famous and popular souvenirs for tourists. And internets and among our International Customers its the japanese who like the op mentioned most they love that all figures among us the up and mention are a bit like that and theyre crazy about that in japan the east german op ed mentioned are quite well known. Traffic light meant as a Brand Ambassadors inspired other cities 2 years ago back in hessen installed an elvis pedestrian line the american singer was one station 2 years a soldier. And karl marxs life now shines brightness birthplace. Some european cities now have traffic light women. And same sex trafficked like couples. Sometimes are sure theres a subtle way of spreading the message before no one really. Traffic like that look like it was just that they were green or red and resemble a man but no one paid any attention to the design of it now because the east german opera mention ive become so famous the awareness for traffic light menace changed worldwide on. Most international pedestrian 2nd still feature simplistic pictograms. But maybe other countries will eventually follow these mentally. The sound of new united berlin was hot and electric in the air also saw the birth of techno the collapse emerged overnight in disused industrial holds and a bend and spaces such as the bungalow where im standing now on the former border between east and west berlin today it is the museum of art collectors cabinet. But shortly after you need to see the former air raid shelter was the center of the techno scene d. J. An alien from west berlin used to play here and experience firsthand how the city became a huge magnet for techno fans. Allen alien is a techno i cant start d. J. And head of a record label born in west berlin german reunification was a defining moment in her life. For me reunification was like an explosion. I got to experience what id always longed full take on the wall was gone and i could communicate and live with the people on the other side. Of your lives. Really and has performed all over from new york to hong kong for close to 3 decades shes been a berlin techno ambassador. As a teenager she was into hip hop but in the early ninetys she discovered techno. I like techno because it reminded me of berlin of how the wall fell and i walked around and hearing the noise of the streets for me the sound of the city i was taken to. After the wall fell rivers took over empty buildings near the former border in clubs like transit or young people from the east and west celebrated techno as the new sound of freedom. There were open in 1901 and launched the careers of deejays like paul fein dying from the former east germany. Ellen ileum soon began spinning records here too and other top clubs being a d. J. Wasnt enough so she hosted a radio show in berlin and founded a music label i was right down trying to delegate the work i have my graphic artist and my booking agency i have someone helping take care of my label i delegate stuff to friends and people i can rely on. Today berlin is a cosmopolitan city but while it was divided alien found the atmosphere oppressive that changed when the wall fell in 1989 and germany reunified a year later. Thats where the tour hit whats not there it impressed me very much emotionally was finding out how different east and west but then this way. That you know and also to live through the phase where we became one. All and. For years clubs like they are kind and wonderful and have cemented berlins reputation as. Techno capital but when the coronavirus pandemic struck last march the party was suddenly over. It was a nightmare for d. J. s like alien who make their living travelling around the world and bringing people together to dance this summer she spent a lot of time traveling on berlins water where you see trying to process the new normal. Like this it was awful it was absolutely horrible because i was ready to go on to a full tour. So it was a big shock i must admit that i cried a lot. Of violence. But instead of sinking into depression she took action in june she released her 9th studio album an hour and began streaming live d. J. Sets like here from berlin t. V. Tower. The lens techno scene isnt giving up either its returning to its improvised roots after german reunification and like then finding empty buildings the club reveres it almost has opened on the grounds of a former brewery covers wear masks and socially distance cameras are not permitted. First of all opening up a club in the corona era in 2020 is very brave of dahl that the owner here looks like it gives us a huge energy. And gives us something to show off to the world in berlin a club is opening up in 2020. 5 homes like this i think. And of course ellen alien is performing here as well.

That team of doctors treating donald trump tried to offer some reassurance to the nation that the us president was doing fine they painted a fairly rosy picture and said he was doing quote very well. As reported yesterday consultation with this group i recommended we bring the president up to walter reed the precautionary measure measure. To provide state of the art monitoring and any care that he may need just 72 hours into the diagnosis now the 1st week of covered in a particular day 7 to 10 of the most critical in determining the likely course of this illness. The doctors said the president was not experiencing any trouble breathing and stress that hed been fever free for over 24 hours.

Well at least we heard something from the doctors because you see its its been quite confusing 1st the president and the 1st lady says current team in the white house then suddenly the president was transferred to the hospital and now we know that he had fever and cough and then we got only a paper statement yesterday quite late from the doctor saying that everything is fine and the tweets coming from the president finally today a briefing this morning were trying doctor said that the president was improving that he was doing very well and. The president s doctors said he was happy with the president s condition but a service as he already told from the white house apparently chief of staff mark meadows said there was more calls for concerns.

Well a spike only assertion that trump is doing very well the white house official identified by the Associated Press as white house chief of staff mark meadows later said that the situation is and will be critical for the president s care but this is the information that is circulating on the media right now it has not seen officially called for. More people in the president s inner circle have tested positive in recent years did trumps physician shit in the lot on exactly when and when the string of transmission took place. No no he didnt but this is also not his job right now of the president s doctor is being very careful about what he says and what he doesnt specially to the media because it is a very uncertain situation there is a lack of information from the white house to the media many a journalist who already reported 981 on the attempted assassination of president reagan who was shot 0 back then and wanted and hospitalized and they are telling us and comparing and telling us that the communication back then was much more transparent they would have a person in charge who would keep the media informed every hour and this is how it should be its the president of this country its not anyone who is right not hospitalized.
