there was a lot of that that happened in germany. when a town gets wiped out like hamburg, where to the people go? 60,000 houses have been lost. they are sent all over germany. people have to take them in and it is some resentment on that. they have to go somewhere. they're in crazed conditions sometimes. i described one instance in the book where woman is sitting on a train. she has a vacant look in her eyes. but she doesn't have any soot or marks from the bombing on her, women who two other had been in the fire. they look over and say, at least you survived and got out with your luggage. she had a little suitcase. she's not quite right and she opens her suitcase and pulls out what looks like a doll. and it was her vaporized child, once 5'2". reduced by the fire to this. she was carrying it around in a suitcase. that was how "off" people would get. imagine being in a city like cologne and getting hit 100 times. like 100 9/11s. the ironic thing is that you talk about the chance thing. take that family sitting there with a candle. whe

germany, what would you act to that? >> one thing he brings up that is essential to understand is that lyndon johnson is in the white house. there are a lot of people in selma, alabama and elsewhere, that are trying to get things pushed. and it's that pressure from the bottom up. and king is -- for johnson, king is the pressure valve. he is the thing that johnson goes through where that mass pressure comes up. so it's that pressure that is really driving this voting rights thing. then johnson is pushing it from washington and he's being pushed along i think gladly. not necessarily about how the things occur. he's very concerned about violence because he doesn't want to send in the army. but he is willing to send in the army if necessary. >> let's go forward to august of 1965. where now he has to work with the legislature in the house and the senate to get this bill passed. mr. germany, a quick snapshot of lbj's relationship with congress. >> a lot of conservative democrats that do not want voting rights and do not want c

when we talk about what is at risk in germany, let's get specific. hans: specifically the auto company. more macro speaking, what we see in these trade numbers, we get a sense of how export driven they are. some of it was trade related. some of the numbers came back negative for inventory. exports were up by 2.2%. private consumption was up by 0.2% capital investment was down by 0.4%. indication, a strong indication that the second quarter of the economy in germany was very export driven and was not relying on capital investment. if you look at what the world looks like now in the third july, you saw all kinds of uncertainty in greece and august has been even greater uncertainty in china. in some ways, i am looking forward to the number we get later on today to get a sense of where business optimism is. economy.export driven we saw that clearly with these numbers. most of the growth in the second quarter was export driven. on the trade deficit with china, in 2014 we saw a drop to the lowest level. has been inching back upwards as the chinese are buyi

they will be able to apply in germany itself. reporter: these migrants crossed into europe but for most, their journey is not over. many are refugees fleeing conflicts in syria and yemen. their aim, to continue on to europe in search of work and more affluent countries such as germany and sweden. the eu policy previously made this journey difficult. under the dublin regulations, the first country and asylum seeker arrived in is required to process the claimant's application. they could be returned to that country of entry if they moved to another. in thesults in countries external border of europe taking in the most. following calyx scenes along its border, reacting in a gesture of european solidarity, germany stopped returning syrian asylum-seekers to their first country in the eu. the increasing numbers of refugees and migrants entering germany's borders. its leaders have been unable to agree to a system of quotas that would share the burden among the eu's members. >> an increasing number of migrants are now using the balkans r

that is far more than the sum greece owes germany directly or indirectly. that is partly 90 billion euros. germany has profited mainly because during the crisis global investors on german lines is a safe asset. with demand so i, berlin was able to cut the interest it had to pay on his months to attract investors. anytime that it came under the financial spotlight in recent years, german bond rates fell again. while that is good for the state, private savers have lost a potential fortune because they also only get rock-bottom interest on their deposits. monika: now, those of you who are not familiar with warren buffett's latest investment probably know his investment firm makes a lot of money. he is all set to make even more. berkshire hathaway spying position cast -- is buying precision castparts, the biggest ever acquisition. the company makes industrial components for aircraft and power plants, among many other things. berkshire hathaway is known for being involved in large transactions, among them the accommodation of kra -- combination of kraft and hein

let's talk about germany. setting out for us the link between the two countries and just how exposed the german economy is to a slowdown in china. how much weaker do you expect it to come through in germany? >> we have to remember that although china is important and an important export destination, and endt the be all all. the signs we are seeing from germany are reasonably good. let's wait to see what the revisions say later this morning. overall, we are looking at an economy which is being driven by strong domestic demand, consumption, investment year on year performing well, and net exports are picking up. overall, domestic demand and what is happening to the consumer is more important to germany at a moment than what is happening to international markets. anna: when we have talked about the strength of the german model in the past, we have talked about how they have been since hustle in exporting high-end manufactured products into the chinese market. they have been very successful at doing that. we have

it is a matter of saving political space in germany. i understand germany and their case,ns, i think in this greece has succumbed to the pressure. i do not think the rest of the european nations will fall desk will feel comfortable with germany pushing back on the deal. next week and we will have to see how things unfold. jonathan: final question, i like to look at the data, one of the pm eyes it was the ugliest --pmi's of the ugliest i have seen, i am looking at figures, what is that looking like? keep a close eye , the international aid program is based on certain calculations. if you have large deviations on the actual numbers, then maybe the creators will have to visit some of the measures agreed, and maybe alter, especially the measures that greece needs to undertake. let's hope for the best. we do not have anything really bad coming up. that gives leeway to greece to and probably today have the worst behind us. much.an: thank you very it is always a pleasure to have you on the show. we are back with a chief , james, one ofer the b

there is 24-hour bombing of germany by three air forces. also from italy, they would mount to missions across here into romania because germany gets most of its natural oil from romania. it is important to knock out spots there. that is the job of the 15th. they are closer. this is where the african-american pilots flew. the tuskegee airmen. they flew out of italy and they escorted bombers on missions over eastern europe. student: did the russians, were they able to mount the aerial campaign? prof. miller: good point. no. there is only two countries in the world that have these four engined bombers, britain and the united states. germany tried to put one into production and ran into problems even with their crack engineers. in the late the russians 1930's. they never got one off. concentrated entirely on strategic air force. covering ground operations so they had two engined bombers. the germans had two engined bombers. that is how they bombed britain. that is how they bond stalingrad. they don't have these babies that can go long distances

that's the law in germany. they're the most successful capitalist country in europe, and they give more power to their workers than any other one. the notion that if you were to do that you would cripple the capitalist potential--uh-uh. it's the same silly argument that says, "gee. those europeans, they're just not doing real well because they have such a big social safety net," national health for everybody, basically free public higher education, and all the rest. germany has one of the most expansive programs of welfare for its people, and it's the most successful country. their unemployment is significantly lower than that in the united states, but on the other hand of course, for a german worker, like for most european workers, being unemployed doesn't have the meaning it does here because since they all have a national health system you get your national health whether you have a job or not. when you lose your job, you do not lose your health insurance. you can't lose your health insurance. it's yours by

and what germany is doing wrong. guest: i think what they are doing wrong is they are forcing the greek economy into greater and greater depression as the price for getting the bailout. greece will get more money. it will be able to go on paying interest on its debt but at the cost of driving the economy into greater recession. that is a self-defeating circle. the greek economy has fallen by 25% in the last five years. it is projected to go and get smaller by 5% this year. they are cutting off the real of servicing the debt. has your forgotten the lessons of post-world war ii? people talking about germany and the fact that they were supposed to get debt relief and that helped to and that should have applied to greece as well? what is the historical lesson here? guest: the historical lesson, the settlement between debtors and creditors has always got to be negotiated. they are creditor responsibilities, and the creditors can't expect to be ofd by granting the economy the debtors into dust. what we haven't had enough o

to clarify germany's position on syrian refugees, whether or not syrian refugees can travel to germany without any visas so there could be some movement there. it's unclear at the moment, we have contacted the german embassy here and they have no comment and we have spoken against the government and there does appear to be some movement but that is not confirmed and there could be something happening there and back to you. >> andrew simmons the very latest from the capitol budapest. well they stepped up patrols and recovered 200 asylum seekers and arresting five suggest smugglers and they have been looking ativans for refugees being smuggled across the border and come after 71 people were found dead this an lory last week and interior minister rejected the checks saying it's violating the passport free zone and what is this, agreement that came in effect in 1995 to allow free movement of people in europe but the growing number of refugees arriving is now threatening the deal's future. of the 28 member states of the eu, 26 countries are signed up to this. the uk and republic of ireland

germany gave weapons to the pkk fighters. indirectly. now they have the weapons and now we will bombard them. what is pretty obvious is that president obama doesn't have a big strategy on this area. mr. posener: he wants to underscore that he has really thought it through because it is a volatile situation with a volatile leader. ms. pohl: this very case, i think mr. obama doesn't have any larger strategy, unfortunately. peter: what about turkey allen there are a lot of people outside turkey and inside who agree that it helps to create the islamic state. mr. posener: quite frankly that is bullshit. the main thing is with iran -- look, we had president assad fighting a war against his own people. we had in iraq the shiite leadership fighting against the sunni with the help of all of these people at the past of iran. against these there was an organization of sunni people. some of them were extremists like i had. turkey was always clear that assad had to go. the west said if assad crosses this redline and uses chemical weapons we will have

germany receives more refugees than any other country in europe. just this year alone, 600,000 migrants are expected to reach germany. our correspondent explains. crammedands of people into centers like this one on the border between austria and germany. it is well overcapacity. during july, some 80,000 migrants arrived, the country's largest intake of newcomers headed for the european union. >> the question is how to manage the issue of refugee, how to manage relations with african neighbors, the question of whether we will be able to find a diplomatic solution to these civil wars. all of these -- determined to reach central and northern europe, many migrants travel from turkey to greece and then on to macedonia. in this train station, thousands of people are trying to board trains to serbia every day. the next stop along the way is hungary. here the government's has attempted to slow migrants with wall, stretching 175 kilometers long the serbian border. conditions often fall short of expectations. wewe came seeking peace and thought that the cond

the problem is germany is the only one that has said this. so austria still has to follow its old rule, so does hungary. and that's what the hold ump is. what we see now is trains completely packed, hundreds of people on board who are trying to get to germany. but hungarian and austrian officials are overwhelmed, checking each of their uds and registrations. they're hope that can the next few hours and days that will be able to be straightened out and in germany they'll accept more and more of these refugees. >> what's the concern in austria, atika? why not expedite the process like germany would like to see? >> the problem here is that there is basically an e.u. rule called the dublin protocol and it says that any refugee or migrant seeking asylum must reg stir in the first country they step foot in. for many, that's greece, for some it's hungary, but rarely is it germany or sweeten where so many of them are trying to get to. that means they have to cross borders illegally. and what we find is that refugees are taking incredible risks to get
