back here or be here a while so we've got a king someone working at a prison we as we understand in dresden a prison official a prison guard has been suspended in connection with leaking that arrest warrant to far right groups so he reportedly turned himself in but this on its face it looks like a case where you've got someone in law enforcement feeding confidential information to right wing groups what do you say to them. i think it's absolutely embarrassing thing to add to the fact that think he showed up at the bill title today it is called hundreds but it is to have boy accompanied by a lawyer who is a clear activist of the piggy the movement. has been active in interest in for many years and i think it adds up to a number of incidents which i think his civilian the mind trust in the law enforcement authorities in the state of saxony. that is something that the state government in cooperation with the federal service has to work on strictly i think we have to enforce law and order we have to enforce discipline. and compliance with legal requirements period there is another demonstration

those arrest warrants he's a thirty nine year old man who was working at the corrections facility in dresden he says he didn't know that it was a legal for him to share these documents to leak these documents. but he may well face criminal charges for doing so we heard a little bit of the statement that's being put out this is through his lawyers this is the only way he says he's going to be communicating from here on out he said he didn't he did it because he didn't want the media to speculate on details as to who the arrested were he went on to accuse the press of having manipulated the facts in the past to put across a narrative that they wanted to see every day as a prison officer i am the focus of what has happened in our country from a few years ago and this intensity and manner nevertheless every day i see that most people are lied to about the changes in our country or do not want to accept the truth however at least regarding the manslaughter or murder in chemnitz i did not want to be a part of the silent crowd anymore but in response to that statement that was put out we've also he

observers positively identified right wing hooligans from bavaria dresden and. is particularly relevant because in the francine in corpus there are very close links to the fan scene in chemist's. ok you mentioned the eastern cities the eastern region how deep a problem is this in german football. i mean anybody who watches football especially if it was stadiums in lower leagues in the east is likely at some point to encounter this as i said chaotic chemist is known to the constitutional authorities in saxony. there. groups in this scene commits f.c. one called the n s boys who are also known to the constitutional authorities this is in pictures here that we're seeing of the n.s.t. always displaying is a picture taken directly from the youth in the nineteen thirty s. now what's also bit of it here you see the game that this was actually taken. wasn't even a game of the chemist's f.c. and these are fans from chemists they join the group with whom they're linked in corpus. it's estimated that in chemists alone there are between one hundred fifteen two hundred footb

we heard last night on the program we spoke with a professor in dresden who said that the police particularly in eastern germany often identify more with people from the far right than they do from the left because they're told that they're hated by the left what do you say to that well by its nature police tend to a conservatism and law and order. the left of groups by nature or rather reject or despise conservatism and law and order so that might be the root of the reason for that opinion the these accusations that we were seeing this cooperation possibly between the police in the far right and can this in in eastern germany that is nothing new and it's something that seems to continue to persist how do you explain that i mean why can't it be broken. that is a very good question you have to consider that the police of a german state we call it it's a mirror of the population so if you have a certain opinion you know. within the population within the people that might reflect on to the police force and if if there are police officers in a department anywhere for those of us who are in the po

mosque in eastern germany in twenty six he detonated a homemade pipe bombs outside the party mosque in dresden while the him and his family were inside no one was injured but the judge said the accused show extreme xenophobia. germany's minister for families visit the scene of a deadly stabbing in cabinets today the crime committed last weekend inventively by two migrants laid bare deep divisions over chancellor merkel's decision to allow nearly a million migrants into germany twenty fifth the following days of violent protests the family's minister described the arrest as a wake up call for the government to start listening to the people. the crime scene has become a place of remembrance family minister francisco defies the first member of the federal government to visit the site where a german man was stabbed to death last sunday the minister met political groups and pledged more funding for initiatives aimed at strengthening democracy. we shouldn't make the mistake of thinking that this is just a problem for saxony. it is a focal point because of the current events here. but this issue affe

been in the headlines there was a very big anti immigrant shit gratian demonstration in the city of dresden in saxony in the middle of august and in fact this state was the birthplace of the zina phobic movement piggy which brought tens of thousands of people to the streets of greece then in twenty fourteen to protest the so-called islamisation of germany and this is also the state where the far right party actually was. the strongest party in last year's federal election in saxony so what's going on in saxony and in eastern germany as a whole it's a paradox really brian because the fact is this is a region where there are the lowest number of migrants of foreign residents nonetheless the far right fares best where it can exploit a sense of insecurity and frustration and that is absolutely present in many regions of the east that has to do both with demographics and with politics just briefly the demographics this is a region that has seen real deep population since the fall of the berlin wall young people moved away to expand to look for better opportunities in the west order people remain

that night in dresden, they found a target. the local kgb headquarters. a mob surrounded the building, as the hour grew later, the crowd grew larger. inside, peering through the curtains was a young kgb lieutenant colonel named vladimir putin. >> he was terrified that they were going to storm the building. >> putin was a junior officer, but the boss was away. he was in charge. >> the berlin wall had come down, and he called for instructions. >> desperate for help, putin dialed kgb headquarters in moscow, over and over again. finally, one official told him, simply, moscow is silent. >> and i think it felt like a deep betrayal to him. >> vladimir putin was on his own. he went down into the bowels of the building and fired up the furnace. >> he finds himself in the basement, at a furnace, shoveling documents, as he hears demonstrations out on the street. >> they are burning the secret files so fast that the furnace is blowing up. >> putin torched thousands of pages of kgb documents and secrets, as the crowd closed in. with the fire still raging, putin went o

the make the bigger suvs near dresden. but they think that americans still want to that luxury, that import product, and that is why the tariffs are hitting those products the hardest. the margins are also being weighed on. with the cost of r&d for electrification, for autonomous driving, hopefully not with porsche, but definitely with audi because it is a huge go for them. it is harder for them to meet the margins that have been set, although those are much higher, 12% is the goal at audi, 50% at porsche. -- 50% at porsche. caroline: -- 15% at porsche. caroline: is diesel gate behind them? matt: it is not, but they are hoping the lions a share -- lions's share is behind them. they have spent billions of dollars on it and there'll be a lot more cash outflows this year because of it, but the total cost for the rest of the or should only be about $1 billion. we are climbing incrementally now, where previously there were huge costs. the real question will be what kind of lawsuits are allowed here in europe, but so far volkswa

prince albert, who found a marvelously invented designer and art adviser in gruner, originally from dresden and most likely met prince albert in rome. they produced wonderfully rich polychrome wall decorations that you can see on the left there. by the time he succeeded his mother, those interiors were hopelessly out of date. and so edward vii brought in white and gold painted look, in london completed around the same time. i think you can see a very stark contrast. it's more or less than it looks today. palace interiors have actually changed very little since. mention must be made of queen mary, who was very much a product of her time. she was intensely interested in the decorative arts and collected numerous small intricate boxes. she, too, redecorated her rooms. that's very much reflecting the fashion in the 1920s, collecting 18th century furniture by thomas chippendale. as we have heard the variety of decorative arts and design in britain and, to some extent, in america too was largely dominated by fashions for reviving earlier styles. often mixing them together to our purest eyes we to

they referred to dresden as the valley of the clueless. this is where vladimir putin was oftioned all during the time glasnost and perestroika. he was trying to transform the soviet union. vladimir putin missed that altogether. generation, he was not there for those critical moments. interestingly, by 1991, perestroika it was restructuring and it was threatening to pull the soviet union apart at the seams. undercision in washington the first president bush was the collapse of the a soviet union would be a bad thing. we were used to dealing with the soviet union and it was better to have a firm of government over these people. -- kiev tf in 1991 when in 1991. he told them not to split from moscow. ofwas a complete misreading the situation at the time. hell-bent tos were get out of the soviet union. it.they did there was a hard-line coup aimed at gorbachev later that same month. stood up on the tank outside the russian white house, gathered thousands of protesters. the coup was awarded and the soviet union was on it's very last legs. decembe

lots of protests, particularly against angela merkel in the east of germany, namely in the city of dresden just about a week ago, in which famously in germany journalists were week ago, in which famously in germanyjournalists were hindered by the police that took the far right protesters's side in fact and prevented journalists from doing theirjobs. so it is definitely not theirjobs. so it is definitely not the first time, and the issue of immigration is certainly the one that seems to be in and around this whole protest waves, i would say. and is it a correct perception that these frustrations are more pronounced in east germany?m these frustrations are more pronounced in east germany? it is, roughly speaking, correct. the east of germany is a region in which the far righta of germany is a region in which the far right a ft party, that you mention, get a lot more voters —— afd. around 20% from the state of saxony voted afd. the general amount is claire i also have the east of germany also has cities like leipzig that are considered much more liberal and accepting, so that also exists

sources and we've also seen earlier in the month of august an incident where by police in the city of dresden detained a press camera team out to the insistence of a right wing demonstrator who later proved to be an undercover police agent and essentially could be said to have violated the free speech rights of this camera team so big questions as well about the degree to which the police services are adequately trained again in those very critical democratic values that they are here to represent well in the crane and i surprised turn around the u.s. military has said that it may reestablish joint military exercises with south korea the war games had been a major sticking point in the run up to u.s. president donald trump historic a summit with north korea's kim jong un at that summit mr trump called his ministry commanders off guard by agreeing to drop the drills the reversal by the pentagon comes amid a broader breakdown in diplomacy with north korea over its nuclear weapons. and historic handshake between two former foes. in the months before their singapore some us donald trump and kim j

the rhine is so shallow now that at one point even a world war two munitions have been exposed and in dresden on the few boats are able to move. only a few pleasure boats are still out on the river elbe an interest in bigger boats cant see how water levels have dropped to forty six centimeters here about one and a half meters lower than normal. we should be up to our knees in water here but students need smaller vessels were still able to operate until recently but now they're going nowhere the. older boats with a shallow draft are still able to sail but it's difficult for them to dock with the floats they've had to reduce or even shut down operations particularly. on the river rhine near calls for barges are still on the water but most can only carry half their normal cargo so as not to run aground in the shallow channels but very passengers here don't need to worry yet these boats can still dock. about favorite tape is it is all there is can still operate even if the water levels drop further by default and couldn't but if i can but it's possible that some of our passengers services won't b
