it did so much good for germany and germany granted them permission with such tolerance and generosity a parliamentary building isn't just any structure. it also shows the beginning of crystal's career when all that was available for him to wrap up with old newspapers or performers of the 1960 s. it also shows his mammoth projects that the couple struggled for decades to realize such as the gates in new york's central park or the famous bridge in paris their undertakings were always wildly eccentric. christos last spectacular project was floating peers at lake italy in 2016. this was an installation that allowed people to literally walk on water. the artist sent this video message for the exhibitions opening. i'm very happy that all that is now and for the 25 and the rest of that i thank you very much i hope. krista turns 85 in june but despite the death of his partner john claud in 2009 he hasn't lost any of his creative spirit this fall he had planned to wrap the uk to paris a long held wish but the pandemic has forced him to put that project on hold for a year. the summer of 95 days

police say they included some well known members of germany's far right. is still with us from a park in central berlin the place captures a really interesting moment and it raises the question is this a growing singular movement we're seeing or do you think this is more the pandemic as a moment that is unifying several different groups in protest. this is certainly unifying several different groups and the one thing that seems to unite them at the moment is this distrust of mainstream politics and also certain degree mainstream media as well and it really is quite incredible to see the breadth of the different groups that were attending these demonstrations as we heard there in the report those people from the far left from the far right everything in between and on top of that you've also got conspiracy theorists people from vaccination groups also known holocaust deniers so there are concerns that these demonstrations could be utilized to a very different purpose in the coming weeks and even of you said the ortiz will be keeping an eye on how these deve

this is what the new normal in germany could look like. all the shops open more people out on the streets wearing face masks restaurants and beer gardens are to reopen as well. but there will be regional variations due to germany's federal division of powers. we have seen good progress as far as the number of new infections is concerned that means we can now take further steps. that. battery have to be careful to keep control. and the emergency response mechanism we have to fight it means i can feel quite confident. that means the state premiers have agreed to adjust their measures on the grounds of the number of new infections . if they rise above a certain number tougher restrictions must be reintroduced. reducing the big decisions we made today don't just concern the question of how can we ease the restrictions but also how can we continue to ensure public security we know it's difficult finding a balance between public safety and civil liberties it's because. it's been left to the 16 state governments to decide for themselves how and w

from nazi tyranny and also to have more face day with germany's old and with germany's young who of course will have differing perspectives on exactly what it means for them but he said that that would have been so important to do and because of the coronavirus people have been isolated in recent weeks he said and that's a sort of an echo of the isolation of germany vs the isolation that germany brought on itself jaring the 12 years of nazi dictatorship and war and you know he said well now is an opportunity to sort of feel that again germany now of course is very much far from isolated i thought that was a strong message he also said that although we talk about liberation we must not stop learning the lessons of history the idea of liberation has to be constantly reimagined by each new generation in germany for people to understand how the country went down a terribly wrong path but also how it has found its way back into the community of nations by facing up to its history and acknowledging the crimes of the past right simon young reporting for us now from central berlin thank you

germany's military also wants to make another contentious purchase u.s. built f. 18 fighter jets those would ensure germany would remain able to deliver its part to nato is u.s. led nuclear deterrent. currently the united states is stationed nuclear weapons in 5 european countries and small town crucial in germany along with the netherlands belgium italy and turkey while the u.k. and france have their own nuclear warheads. in a war scenario germany would have to use its aging fleet of tornado fighter jets to deliver them but those are running out of spare parts fast. the governing coalition partner the social democrats have announced resistance to about replacement it wants a more passive role in nato at this school so i don't think there's anything wrong with having that debate i think it's an important question of democracy. military experts see this latest in a coalition rao of a defense as an attack on german credibility from within i think that position is increasingly untenable and and frankly the rest of the world does not do us a favor while germa

gliding in germany because of the thermals. the 1st attempts at gliding took place before the 1st world war but the 1st competitions were organized in 1920. a sailplane is designed to write the air currents without an engine so that it can just glide through space. back when germany was still divided sailplanes from hessen in the west sometimes found themselves gliding towards and even over the border just 15 kilometers from the boss a cookbook. some pilots were even arrested and only released weeks later after paying a hefty fine in torch marks. the planes were confiscated. today these gliders and paragliders have the same ideal thermal lift conditions but there's no border that they have to mind. so they can glide freely in their own plans of the open spaces. little remains of the iron curtain only the border patrol road still knee enders through germany i can start to walk on it on the shores of the baltic sea and would end up in hope and bavaria the 400 kilometers of exclusion zone have turned into a greenbelt a protected a

the police say they included some well known members of germany's far right see. well for more on this let's bring in kate brady so kate the seems like quite a lot of people turning up to these demonstrations what are they so angry about which restrictions do they object to the most. well it seems that these protesters are effectively accusing the medical workers and politicians here in germany of spreading widespread panic and also infringing their freedoms and their rights to the down measures if you will in recent weeks of course germany hadn't seen quite as strict lock down measures as some other countries but there are still contacts restrictions in place albeit there are plans in place now to ease those in the coming weeks depending on how that reproduction rate that you mentioned that develops which of course we now know is above $1.00 and also depending on how the number of new cases grows or declines or whether we see that plateau in the coming weeks but it does seem it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what unites these groups there's a real mix spread of

germany now has a poor right party in parliament the a.f.d. its leaders express ambivalence about nazi germany's defeat in the war with one recently lamenting quote the loss of huge parts of germany and the loss of the possibility to shape its future what do you make of that. well i think we have to keep in mind that the story started on the 13th of january 9033. with the nazi seizure of power which was not actually a seizure of power because the conservatives invested the office with power so the beginning of the story is the thirty's all virgin united $33.00 and all of course the atrocities committed by the mossies in the years between 9033 and 94 he fought . so you can understand the end of the of the 2nd would rule without acknowledging . that nazi germany's and many germans had been implicated in this dictatorship and had committed to be a crimes especially in the take it would war in particular in the east. that these views that would save relativize the the atrocities committed by the nazis and 2nd world war are now part of german publi
