So good morning 10 oclock here in moscow youre watching r. T. International now 30 years ago the berlijn wall 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 berlin thousands are expected to take part in numerous events including a variety of exhibitions on the wars history but for those who cant attend his artesia. 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 in the night of august 13th 1981 1st it was just a barbed wire and concrete fence 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 smooth still nerve running along the top to prevent anyone climbing over watchtowers every 200 meters 962 a 2nd wall was built around 100 meters and east berlin territory this buffer zone became known as the death strip that soft sand 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 that 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 it just as rapidly on nov 9th 1909 when thousands stormed the checkpoint unborn homer street at 10 45 pm the head of the checkpoint overwhelmed by the crowd gave way and open the gate the others soon followed what is germany celebrates reunification to some it does seem that the country is still divided with an invisible line separating east and west. But. Walking 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 reality west and east still remain intact 3 decades after the fall of the wall even chancellor Angela Merkel admits it. Was shown that in europe to fool me hes german citizen today that germanys an if you like 2nd class citizen according to those people less than 40 percent of the germans think that reunification the most successful would send among those 119 anyone disagrees around 20 percent instant lesson hot and not satisfied with democracy in germany former interior minister told us that his good one said that for east germans everything has changed 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 at 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 wealth for system its not a surprise that one in 2 germans believe that the country cannot handle anymore refugees saying it has reached its limits and its no surprise and nationalist sentiments are on the rise of the city of theirs that has. They declared a state of emergency in the recent talk on synagogue in halle has shown that more than a quarter of germans hold anti semitic beliefs. I would like to point out once again that some of those 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 an open field of view and we make no compromises there but we have to approach this phenomenon with anti semitism right wing extremism and with the same you said you could see why people are happy in your wall and everybody is united but the rise of see is bringing the increase of hate crimes all the chanter fight and marginalized communities should remind germany that region if occasion is a process rather than just a Public Holiday but we caught up with an american who defected to the soviet union 1952 and then move to germany to grossman told r. T. What he things was better than them. 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 on vacation 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 ents in the World History theres 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 and 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 to voice them among the family in a 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. The us actually. Also went to burn in to commemorate the fall of the wall and he used the occasion to you to take a jab at china and russia. Everyone in this room has a duty we must recognize that free nations 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 uses tactic as methods to suppress its own people that would be horrifyingly familiar to former east germans. Who is a former cia chief and did some of his military service also patrolling the berlin wall however his attendance at the ceremony was also greeted with criticism from one of germanys biggest news outlets that you vella asked when u. S. Troops would finally leave germany there are some 40000 u. S. Military personnel remaining in the country journalist and author Thomas Fassbender says washington is losing influence over belin. This is a a rather cheap effort that 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 feeders of us jews to the jeep 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 the syrian president bashar assad described the relations between europe and turkish leader when in an exclusive interview with r. T. In fact it is the 1st time youve spoken to an International Channel in more than a year can watch the interview in full here on monday as well as at our website at r. T. Dot com but is a quick preview. I dont know youre antagonistic with nato nation turkey but it was dirty and arguably yourself must be aware that western policy is liable for blowback into the European Union would have you made of say European Union governments response to the possible. Outflow of british ices days freighters back into the European Union how dangerous is it to be in london today or paris or but live. Actually the relation between. The e. U. Is doing is they hate him but they want him. They dont do that in they know that hes phanatic 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 thin doing those. Syria and other. Is danger with 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 of the majority of them are moderates and they have while you do you support those theories theyre rickly in 100 in tens of thousands at least and maybe hundreds of thousands in syria and you dont fear that theyre going to go back to to a country. Now brazils former president lula de silva walked free from prison and to stay in this greeted by chanting supporters. I blew his Early Release was made possible by new call the little i was convicted criminals to avoid prison if they have not exhausted their appeals hundreds of his supporters took to the streets of san paolo here to celebrate. This looks like most of 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 miller was freed weve been waiting for justice to happen our country is like joe 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 were here to celebrate hope will win over fear democracy will be reestablished in this country is Free Food Service brazilian president from 2003 to 2012 years ago though he was convicted of corruption and Money Laundering and sentenced to 12 years in prison himself denies any wrongdoing this summer there was a twist in this case because a leaked 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 that think hard whether thats good idea what do you think of these crazy statements from the Workers PartyNational Board should with fishel rebut. Neil harvey spoke with the chief editor of the brazilian news outlet a permanent. Now with out of jail. Have a very has a very important tend because its going to be deleted off the opposition lulay is going to be walking on the streets talking to the people i mean officially hes powerless and different participation in politics but hes much bigger than that 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 the current president im sure it will because now the opposition is going to have a leader up to this time around after both a man to. The opposition of both not have a leader in view has no really the 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 we also spoke to silva himself while he was still in jail and i asked him about his political viewpoints on foreign interference and brazils role in the world back then he told us that his country should defend its sovereignty and resist political meddling from my side. Ecu warfare 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 but. You brazil is a very big country it can be fully sovereign and it could become one of the main actors on International Policy i 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 trumps craziness the craziness of a u. S. President who believes that he could invade any country kill any president somebody has to stop him and brazil concluded that now still to come the next 15 minutes the i. M. F.
