others say that she did it to try to rehabilitate her own image in in germany. well, we'll never know but it's it's a troubling moment to see helena meyer giving giving that nazi salute at that time. this is the last olympics that she competes in and she actually returns to the united states after the olympics. to california and doesn't go back to germany until the the early 1950s and dies as a relatively young woman in the early 1950s. please do post your questions both for damien and for danny in the comments section danny. we do have a couple of questions that i'd like to combine. person named susan is asking whether the college students you mentioned earlier who boycotted participation did they participate for years later or have ever at all and actually i think we can combine them suzanne from pittsburgh and barry from new york have both asked about marty glickman and sam stoller two athletes. we haven't yet mentioned, but we were planning to do their story. so let's do that now if we could sure to the first question, no one competes four years later. there

and basically on the germany, germany, social position is that these political pressures can be avoided. but most of the countries, including those who are in the neighborhood, i'm in poland. all states can be countries and the european union, as i said, and even trends we usually france is not very aggressively russian. but regarding this, this project particular project there, most of the countries are against it and considered that it will increase rushes, a geopolitical role in the european continent. and i'm not talking about the u. s. maybe we'll come later to discuss the american position on this issue. sure, we will, we will get to that at some point, michael, but sir q is europe risking, becoming too dependent on russian gas? oh, absolutely. and you know, the outlines of the so called agreement is very vague. what does actually constant to constitute an energy weapon and when are sanctions triggered? so for example, if russia does abruptly raise gas prices to europe or constrict supply, does that constitute using the pipeline as an energy weapon? i think there's ukraine has ver

>> germany is the anchor of european integration, but with weaker supply gains in germany and a more german -- regular to german economy, the role of an anchor would weaken under a left-wing government and would probably have a negative impact over all of europe. germany is a strong economy and strong anchor for europe, more important to the rest of europe than the question whether germany raises stimulus by 0.3%. tom: ok, thank you very much for that analysis and insight, pointing out that the fiscal impulse on the back of the elections in germany might not be as significant as some are suggesting. one industry that will continue to be central to the german election and the country's economy, autos. matt miller spoke exclusively with the ceo of audi, who was bullish on the outlook for ev's. >> we have a better chance than any company in the world to offer high-quality and good priced product together with a good margin we can achieve because of facilities to sell the cars, highly differentiated, even using the same platform on the hardware and software side. tom: he thinks the odds

establish a germany -- a partnership with germany and other european countries. there is the problem of ukraine which now finds itself in a position where moscow can continue to supply gas to europe to fulfill its contract obligations but not sending much or at all to the ukraine. >> sure. let's talk about ukraine's options. michael, if the ukraine continues to feel that the united states not looking out for them on this issue, does that risk them drawing closer to china? >> absently. i think the feeling in ukraine is that has been thrown under the bus. the biden administration has very few foreign policy wins and it has chosen to improve relations with germany. it has chosen to do some kind of reset with relations with russia and in return, ukraine feels very vulnerable. it does not have very options -- very many options but one of them is improving relations with china. president zelensky had his first conversation with xi jinping over the telephone and it was a very good call from both sides. president zelensky said ukraine has no better friend than china righ

in germany so that's possible another say she did try to rehabilitate her own image in germany we will never know but it's a troubling moment to see helena meyer giving that salute at that time. this is the last olympic she competes in and she returns to the united states after the olympics and doesn't go back to germany until the early 1960s and still a relatively young woman in the 1960s. >> these are questions for danny and for damion. the person named susan is asking whether the colleges you mentioned earlier did they participate four years later and i think we can combine them. dan and barry from new york have asked about the two athletes we haven't mentioned that we were planning to do their story so let's do that now if we can. >> the first question there are no olympic games so no olympics in 1940 and no olympics in 1944. there is a gap in 1946 and 1948 so if you're a 22-year-old athlete in 1936 by 1948 you are in your mid-30s and alex of the people who said i will compete in four years never had that opportunity. they are to american jewish athlete sprinters and glickman is a

got wrong, germany shopping list, if germany had been the victor in world war i, germany was going to rule the whole europe and germany the victim would have been posed to europe and far more brutal. >> let's hear from carol in charlottesville, virginia. >> i do have a question concerning vietnam war. had the johnson administration had not expanded our involvement in, you know, with combat troops into vietnam in mid-60's, it's easy to identify the positive consequences especially for the u.s., but just want to know have you given some thought of what the negative consequences would have been had we not been more involved in vietnam and let's say the south had fallen in the late 60's instead. just want your thoughts on that, if you don't mind. >> thank you, sir. >> i personally believe it would have served the interest of the united states very well to stay completely out of indo-china. i've said in my book, the fundamental reason that the other side won and i have no time, i think that vietnamese horrible regime and terrorized their people including us in 1975 when they won the whole

of gas transport through ukraine and germany has agreed to balance the interest between germany, russia, and ukraine. and this is also a basis of the foundation to terminate the non stream to project which is of high interest for germany. and it's among the few really good results and which angler market have achieved also in the relationship between russia and germany. and so i really hope that marco will use the leverage that she has to improve the situation with ukraine and stabilize the situation in the country. and i just say the trying this all anglo merkel to put a bit of pressure from russia to guarantee transit fees. i think all the way up to 2034. is there a chance that you're trying to sort of, you know, playing politics here and hoping to gain a bit leverage on their spite sort of staking tensions in east in ukraine? yes, of course. i think both countries, one to exert some influence on germany to take either one or another side. but the role of germany had been to, has attend and germany has not really also taken its responsibility to make it greater efforts in the past yea

germany's foreign minister earlier said what exactly germany is planning to do right now. let's take a listen. >> we are in direct contact with the german nationals who remain in afghanistan. we will keep them informed on how we can support in an organized archer. -- departure. we are pulling talks with different partners and also with the taliban. for example, we are talking about 10 you think to operate the airport so that civilian flights will be possible again in the future. another route is via the neighboring states and afghanistan. we will provide counselors at the border through our embassies and do our utmost to enable the local staff who were still in afghanistan to leave the country. >> at this moment, nobody knows whether there will be a civilian air it has been destroyed as far as we have heard. the foreign minister is traveling to the region. that is where negotiations with the taliban are taking place. that is where germany's ambassador who keeps being referred to all the time speaking directly with them with the aim of getting safe passage but all of those

, whatever the western allies got wrong, germany if germany had been the victory of world war i from they would essentially roll the whole of europe. >> let's hear from carl in virginia. >> thank you for taking my call. i know you're not a fan of factual history but i have a question concerning the end of the vietnam war. the johnson administration not a expended involvement in in combat troops into vietnam in the mid 60s,, it's easy to identify the positive consequences especially for the u.s. but i want to know if you've given some thought to what the negative consequences would have been had we not been more involved in vietnam and in the late 60s instead. i would like your thoughts on if you don't mind. >> i personally believe it would have had the interest of the united states veryel well but i have sent in my book that the other side one, the regime was a horrible regime. including after 1975 when they found the war but they one ultimately because they were vietnamese but the problem always was american vietnam, the vietnamese don't likee foreignes or foreign rules. just like a

and that was primarily driven by manufacturing pull back in germany. so that came in at 62.7 versus the consensus of 65. and france it was the opposite story. we had again the flash composite come in at 60.6 versus the expectation of 62.4. but the disappointment was led by services and not by manufacturing. but putting it all together, business activity in the eurozone does remain extremely strong in terms of some of the communication that we've received from the ihs market, they're quoting that the economic recovery retains an impressive momentum in august. pmi dipping only slightly. so we'll be hearing in a little while from chris williamson who is the chief business economist at ihs market just waiting for him to come online one thing i think is worth flagging, julianna, yet again, this has been a consistent theme the last couple months, talking about supply chain delays continuing to reek havoc, leaving companies unable to meet demand and pushing firm costs higher, so this is probably the third or fourth month that we have mentioned specifically ab

give me and my fiance permission to enter germany. andrea, who co, who is the deputy chairman of the left parliamentary group in the bonus. don says that the german government has not been entirely honest about the situation in afghanistan. there's a lot of high progress the at the moment, interest to ation. we have to fear it is a complete disaster. what we are witnessing even and the beginning of this year, the government created to picture in our parliament that there is now a full democratic state. ready enough time, there is a lively civil society and all these nato involvement success. all this is of course, is hypocrisy. it's. it's page. it was for 4 years of painted a picture which is not in line with reality, which we can see, you know, i think we should take and bring refugees who are in fear of life. but at the same time, i think it's necessary to really talk to the real power in afghanistan, the tardy benz to go to negotiations to negotiations as well. concerning of the refugees and not to break all diplomatic ties. journa

the role of germany had been to have attend and germany have not really all to take its responsibility to make a greater efforts in the years to resolve the ukraine conflict with germany with quite neutral alike. none of my business, and this is not really a strategy that will bring us further and its situation which shows that the influence of germany is not very far reaching and in that region anymore. and this is also a part of the doubtful legacy of germany. policy foreign policy in that region, which angular market of course, is responsible for the income that brings you up to date with the laneesa for this . that's how things are looking in. artie will be about vo with more news and the headlines at the top of the the in the, in the when i was shot the wrong when i was just don't the room. yes to shape out the thing because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves, well, the part we choose to look for common ground in less than one year ago. the 17 year old from detroit underwent a double lung transplant. previously, daniel had assumed that the cigar

a general know side that was largely ignored for decades in germany. this memorial in the heart of berlin was only built in 2012 and even today there is little awareness that the people were victims of systematic genocide. they came to tell visitors about their people's history and speak up about current injustices. >> we hear far right views in the german parliament. so we have to keep this memory alive. we have to teach or children because it still happens. people are excluded or killed because of their ethnicity, their origin. even today in 2021. the women hope their work highlighting the horrors of the past can happen bring about change and a fairer world for everyone. >> let's get more of those headlines now. the british foreign office has summoned the iranian ambassador over a tanker attack in the gulf of oman. others joined israel in blaming iran. iran called the beiaccusation a distraction. australia has isn't troops to help police and enforce covid-19 lockdowns. soldiers will visit home runs in sidney it check whether people are isolated. stay

she was saying it is not just germany who have made these mistakes. many of the international partners also got it wrong, as it were, on how quickly the taliban would advance. she also reportedly said it was easy to be wise after the fact. it is difficult to get precise information from afghanistan at the best of times. but experts have been warning for at least 10 years that after the west pulled out, the taliban was likely to return. the second point -- it was always clear that a good plan would be needed to rescue those who worked closely with germany and other western nations, so the question remains -- why wasn't it in place? brent: merkel says the world needs to engage with the taliban rather than cut ties. that is the typical view we expect from her, isn't it? >> yes, she called it a bitter reality, but when she had to face. she said it was important to try to exert some sort of and ovens over them, not undo all the achievements, the positives of the last 20 years. they may find themselves, western governments that is, talking to themselves mor

in a statement, germany's navy said, quote, together with its allies, germany wants to show more presence in the endo pacific. clearly berlin is sending a message to beijing. the united states, the u. k. japan, australia also expanded her naval presence and activity in the pacific. all sort of counter china and now india is also jumping in on the action, sending a task force, a for war ships to the south china sea, as part of a 2 month deployment. that will include exercises with the u. s. japan and australia and the task force of ships includes a guided missile destroyer guided missile frigate and an anti submarine. what's called corvette ships will also work and bilateral exercises with naval units, from singapore, vietnam, indonesia, and the philippines. all this is us, vice president, common harris is scheduled to take her 1st trip to vietnam and singapore in 2 weeks time, a trip aimed at rally international support to counter china's increasing global influence and power and power that according to the white house, we're also looking at the deadly wave shootings here in america the s

and now you have germany doing the same now can germany in england really project military force in that region? not really. what it does do is send a message to beijing, is it? future attempts, as my dad would call it, to turn south china sea into a lake are going to be tolerated. that's a hugely important trade route. the most important from there to the constraints mark is most important trade route in the world. and we're not going to, nobody is the you is not going to tolerate that being turned into something that is controlled by china exclusively. and there's going to be economic and political consequences. that's what those worship deployments by germany and england communicate to beijing and no uncertain terms. now the indian.

we keep germany intact. there's even an analogy in german history to this that everyone refers to in germany called the hubertusburg piece looking back to a precedent in the seven years war. that barenstorff mentions batman mentions. all right. that same narrative is available for britain. britain entered the war in self-defense above all to redeem the violation of belgium's neutrality and belgium had been invaded so the germans could get at france. so britain could say we and we entered the war to stop prussian militarism and insert and shield against the german spear. and we have turned that spear aside. germany has withdrawn from belgium has renounced its conquests and belgium and france. we have shown that militarism failed edward gray writing after the war said that that that was an argument. that would have worked. that was an argument. that would have worked with the british people. and if the germans had restored belgium internally, the british recognized belgium was the issue that held together the

we repose still received them and germany shops for this particular group of buttoned up. and we are seeking the venues to have them evacuated at the earliest. at the same time, we hope that taliban will honor their promises. we also believe that the negotiations and this respect will be concluded by the end of the coming months. we should do all what we can and provide all conceivable means to have those evacuated together with them. fundable gad moved to some where, transported back then, and they are currently being transported germany and it's been the this was the reason behind my visit to these countries that visit was aimed at find solid means to ensure the safe return. hi it's mitzy escobar job magazine dash pico. one question for the foreign minister off at all. i'm really wondering you both agreed that the recognition, the former recognition of the taliban government is not really a question which is current right now. on the other hand, from the experience from the ninety's, one would say that at that time when the taliban power were completely isolated, it's so

the government there confirmed it would allow those identified by germany s at risk to travel on. berlin says about 40,000 afghans may require safe passage. there are hopes that some may yet be able to leave by air. >> as soon as kabul airport is operational again, we will create air core doors like we did with the military evacuation to bring german nationals, local staff and other vulnerable people we have identified to germany. plans are in the pipeline to bring all afghanistan -- together to discuss how to deal with the new regime. there is concern the situation could worsen. >> this is a pivotal moment in afghanistan's history. humanitarian assistance must flow. reporter: first of all, there are promises from the taliban. we will find out in the coming days and wks whether they are credible. the german foreign minister's final stop was no hot in qatar or germany's ambassador has been negotiating with -- was doha. he thanked them for the contact and said in the end, there will be no alternative to talks with afghanistan's leaders. brent: how will germany and all of the europea

well, germany has no intention. it would seem at the moment, certainly of recognizing the taliban as the legitimate rulers of afghanistan. berlin is in direct contact with the group in order to try and facilitate, allowing those people it wants to see get on a planes to allow them to get to the airport in cobble and get on those flights. now we'll be looking to see how wider international pressure affects things like that, because we've heard that the international monetary fund, the i m f, is just said that they're not going to allow the tele bonds to have access to some $440000000.00 worth of reserves of monetary reserves. we're also looking at how it's being perceived in the why do you repeat and sends a lot of you politicians desperate to avoid a repeat the 2015 refugee crisis. what we've, what we've heard from the likes of a manual mark on the french president, this him saying that his country needs to be protected from those who a seeking refuge. austria has said that camps need to be set up in neighboring cou

germany continues to push its own vaccination program but scholz told us he would make sure germany does not leave other countries out in the cold. >> there is no lack in willingness to spend money. we have already done that, and we continue to do so. there is plenty of willingness to conduct coordination opportunities to make sure vaccines are available. this needs to be organized on an international level and by countries affected to make sure the vaccinations reached the citizens of the global south. >> in matters of international policy, scholz vowed to take a tough stance on russian aggression but also stressed germany would not go it alone. >> we need a new policy towards the east to revitalize the principle of the osce and a principal of the european union. i also say russia and other countries need to accept that european integration will continue. >> as the situation in afghanistan escalates, more and more people flee the taliban, the german government announced it will not deport asylum-seekers for now. scholz showed himself sympathetic to accepting refugees from various crisis

while germany is a new home for some, others are being welcomed by loved ones. what none of those arriving know is when they might be able to return to afghanistan. >> let's hear from dw's asia desk. i wanted to ask you about some of our own correspondence who are stuck in afghanistan. we are hearing a family of a colleague was attacked by the taliban. what else can you tell us about that? >> the situation is very for journalists. those who are associated with foreign organizations, their lives are in danger. we have local reporters and correspondents. their lives are in danger. their families are in daer. they have been harassed by the taliban. in one case, one of our colleagues who is in germany, his family has bn attacked and a family member has been killed. one is wounded. the situation is extremely bad. despite all these claims by the taliban that they will not do anything against journalists, it will be lenient to journalists and they will respect human rights. it looks it is not happening at the moment could the situation is very bad. >> we should mention

this was a letter sent in germany. and my guess is more seasoned members would have vetoed. we went i remember seeing at the hotel and i remember that was where jackie robinson was in 1947 when he got the call from the brooklyn dodgers to become the first player to break the color barrier. anyway, over two questions. >> caller: we have a very wide ranging number of questions. i'm going to dive right in. individual wants to know how well does the fbi and mi spy work together? >> guest: this tipoff that mi five gave to the fbi is an example of the special relationship at work. but that special relationship was always open too. the fbi i'm sorry the mi five and mi six in fact only gave the americans information if they thought there is a strict need for this to happen. it is because they thought they were about to be killed that they handed on the information. they gave the information with strict instructions that the identity of the go-between jesse jordan's identity be kept secret. but immediately the information got to the united states. they blame the nypd the new york pol

germany's first evacuation flight carried only seven people. this has prompted anger and even a snap protest here in berlin today. how could this have happened? >> we need to assess how that could have happened. i think the first thing that we and the german government need to organize that is currently underway is getting as many people out of kabul, out of afghanistan as possible with the help of our friends in the u.s., because without them, to be honest, this process could not have been taking place. what we need to call for is more pragmatism in the way that people are being secured. we have this comparison between the transport flight that left by the u.s., where over 600 people were secured, and then the seven people that were justified with the situation on the ground. so that is something we need to address and assess afterward, but so far, the question that needs to be answered in the process that needs to take place is getting people into safety. michael: many of our viewers may not be aware that in an open letter, together with othe

they didn't occupy germany and they left germany. also germany was virtually undamaged by the war. germany had suffered almost no damage at all and it was very easy for the german right-wing to develop their theme after the war that germany had never been defeated and just stabbed in the back by a bunch of socialists. the allied decision to make germany -- this brutal treaty or apparently brutal treaty close to president wilson his involvement. he was repudiated by who was determined not to get involved and because the united states was the only one that voted well from its moral authority and diminished the united states might have been able to exercise some effective influence in stabilizing europe and preventing the outbreak of world war ii. the americans, many americans hated the experience of being in fault in world war i and that was popular sentiment in america and not wanting america to get involved in europe's troubles but by far the best book is a slander which is a brilliant study of what happened in versailles. it was never going to be an easy way to get out of world wa

that's right, and without the defeat of nazi germany, this would all be an academic question. i mean that the end of naziism made it possible also to assure that these camps were shut down for good but you're right. it's a it's a complex question eisenhower's say that he had gotten secondary reports of these things. but you know, i think it's fair to say who could even imagine really who could imagine even if he warned churchill that even if i tried to describe it the english language doesn't have words for it. so i'll just leave my part of that question there. this reminds me actually of words from one of the holocaust survivors who volunteers at our museum a woman named aggie. gueva. she was asked at the time of a dedication of a new memorial to general and president eisenhower in washington to reflect on what he meant to her. and she said i shall never forget the moment when we saw the american troops and heard a voice telling us you are free. it was indescribable unbelievable. it was a miracle my four great grandchildren would not be here today. if not for general eisenhow

we keep germany intact. there's even an analogy in german history that everyone refers to in germany called the peace looking back to the precedent in the seven years war that bernsdorf mentions and bethmann mentioned and that same narrative is mentioned. and they spoke above all of belgium's neutrality and they were invaded sobel jim could get at photographs. they can say we enter the war to stop russian militarism and be a certain shield against the german spear and we have turned that spear aside. germany has withdrawn from belgium, has renounced its conquests in belgium and france. we have shown that militarism failed. edward gray writing after the war said that that was an argument that would have worked with the british people and if the germans had restored belgium internally, the british recognized, belgium was the issue that held together the british. france, france had been invaded so what france needed above all is how the german invader leaves france, that france had defended herself. now france

give me and my fiance permission to enter germany. the mounting crisis is opening old wounds in europe. some states are refusing to allow any refugees to cross that borders fearful of what happened in 2015 when more than a 1000000 migrants flooded the e u r. his paula fleer picks up the story, while an increasing number of european nations are refusing to accept refugees from afghanistan. what they most afraid of is a repeat of the 2015 migration crisis and countries. i'm not afraid to admit that you have, for example, austria saying that it's against immigration, the interior minutes to say that the aim of europe should be to keep the bulk of the gun population in the region. at the same time we heard from hungary saying it's refusing to take in more refugees it, it won't make it, so it isn't pay for the quote floor the decisions of the united states wanting from the french president in manuel crohn has come under fire for using the term irregular migration coming from a gunny son and this has left a lot of people angry micron disord

give me my fiance. permission to enter germany. the depth kevin of the left parliamentary group in the bundle of talk under a hunker, believes that the german government masking the reality of the situation in afghanistan for quite some time. says a lot of high procedures at the moment and just to ation, we have to fear it is a complete disaster. what we are witnessing even and the beginning of this year, the government created to picture in our parliament that there is now a full democratic state. ready enough time there is lively, severe society and all these nato involvement success. all this is of course is he, paul chrissy. it's, it's page, it was for 4 years of painted a picture which is not in line with reality, which we can see, you know, i think we should take and bring refugees who are in fear of life. but at the same time, i think it's necessary to really talk to the real power in afghanistan taliban to go to negotiations to negotiations as well. concerning the refugees and not to break all diplomatic ties. processes gat
