to germany the balls in germany's court now. have to see but it's really once again it's not just trump it's the congress the congress forced to do this trump was originally reluctant to do more sanctions against russia but congress overruled him on a veto proof passage of of legislation a few years ago so it's a mistake in germany to think it's only just because the americans want to. and it's a mistake to think it's only trump and the problem may take care of itself because it's not going to go away. you know the ball is in germany's kosher germany fight sanctions with sanctions. no i think it's not and i think it won't because. germany has no interest in fighting mary-kate economically over this and on top of it needs e.u. and e.u. responds because foreign trade is an e.u. matter so i think there's not a consensus in the u. in the 1st place and 2nd there's not the political will but there is certainly a political will to have a common stance on extraterritorial sanctions and that is where i see a major divergence of u.s. and

these and other technologies developed in germany mean that wind turbines made in germany are now fully competitive with conventional power plants. does it make sense to not use it in germany and states and i see in the 1st of all we have to finance everything the finance the whole development if we pull the plug now we destroy the value of what we've created and they'll be picked up abroad by china but also abroad in europe and we are left with the bill as it. were in the industrial area of blame aha for the slump in the wind power expansion has left its mark for companies used to manufacture wind power plants here of the 4500 employees all but 500 have been laid off in the last few years. in northern germany this was simply the industry of the future just as aviation is for southern germany. nationwide around 40000 jobs in the industry have been lost in recent years. but when power is booming worldwide and the fall hole for institute is in great demand internationally ironic. globally successful climate friendly cutting edge technology from germany has little future in its own country

germany was. there was a desire on the part of the public, which put real pressure on the statesman in paris to get something out of germany. to make up for the damage of the war. but at the same time, you also had a willingness and a longing. among publics. it was not just the l.a. public 's, it was certainly on the defeated side. it was also in the wider world, it was in asia, it was in africa, it was in australia, it was in north america. a desire that out of this dreadful war, which had caused such damage and such suffering, whose consequences were clearly so momentous, that out of this war, something better should come. and so what i like publics and other publics wanted was a new world. a new world order, a new peaceful order. some thoughts of institutions or ways of doing things that would prevent the world from ever having a were like this again. this is not easy for the statesman to do. with they have been pushed in different directions and of course, they had to think of their own nation

if germany refused to sign it. so that was another factor. they found increasingly their capacity to do what they wanted especially the further away the places were and difficult the communications were were limited. there was a famous occasion when george clemmenson wilson was sitting around and those fighting i think between poland and czechoslovak cuabout a rich duchy that contained railway junctions and coal mines and so on, and poland and czechoslovak cuwe czechoslovakia were starting to fight about it, and they called in a supreme allied commander and said we've got to do something, and he said of course i'll follow orders which is what he intended to stay and they said you've got to call troops. and he said absolutely because i don't think i can do it because the railways aren't running. and george who say always optimistic said i have it, and they turned to him with a certain amount of hope and he said we'll send both sides extremely strong telegrams. so i'm just trying to give a sense of what it was they w

i think great parts of germany and the people in germany understand that these measures are needed and that it's ok and that it's not really our freedom being taken away from us it's just a piece of cloth that we have to wear on the face but then there's also other people who. can take the situation her being more stressed by it maybe and who are trying to find an answer to why this situation is so difficult to stand and that's why they're making up. other explanations because. people clearly do believe that democracy is in danger. then the others you've been exploiting who do see the other side of the argument. here in germany talk to the people in these protests and co video it's. pretty extreme stuff surely we need to have more sympathy or more understanding for people who. i think it's you have to differentiate between the people here have to see the ones that are claiming difficulties with the situation that are perfectly. right just like. people want to see their friends meet friends people want to work people. not having their financial. they don't want to be destroyed financial

what to do with germany? whether the great powers should reconstitute germany, or whether they should enact heavy reparations against germany that germany becomes economically barren at the end of the war? how to handle the ethnic map of europe? what role should the u.s. play, and what role should multilateral organizations play? all of these questions come up in 1919 and again in 1945, and i would argue that in many cases in 1945, they would take almost a 180 degree opposite tactic to the one they took in 1919. another thing that is very different of course is the condition of germany itself. this is a photograph --- two photographs taken from roughly the same angle. the building on the far right of the right-hand picture is in the new u.s. embassy just outside the brandenburg gate on the side that had been east berlin. the kind of canopy-looking thing in the background is the potsdam place. the picture on the left is taken in about the same place in 1945. one clear difference within the germany of 1919 and

what they will do here in germany is break germany. first, they'll break it into three occupation zones, the soviet, british american and french zone. you can see by the french zone it is carved out of the american zone. the soviets are okay with them having their own zone of occupation, and the same thing that would happen with berlin. each side will take out or put into its zone whatever it wants and the represent they're doing this is the american fear that if germany is treated as a single unit. if it's treated as a single thing for occupation reasons then the soviets will simply take advantage to take everything they can out of germany forcing the united states and great britain to put money into germany. the u.s. will be putting resources into germany while the soviets take them out and this is what burns thought of in 1919 and it's the scenario he does not want to see repeated in 1945. they don't envision at this point that this will become two different states and we know now that they do and they put resources into the western
