In December 1989, Germany's ‘Green Belt' was born. For more than 40 years, the country had been split by a 1,400km border and, in the decades the so-called ‘death zone' had existed, life flourished everywhere. In 1989, communism crumbled and, as soon as the borders opened, Kai Frobel knew he needed to act fast to stop farmers and developers. He called a meeting on 9 December, hoping a few people might come along. Around 400 people from both sides of the border joined Kai to help create what would become known as Germany's ‘Green Belt', securing life in a place which had been associated with death for decades. Professor Kai Frobel tells Laura Jones about growing up near the fortified GDR border and why it's such a special place for rare species of birds and animals.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar chats with Saint Leonard—the visionary artist formerly known as Kieran Leonard—about the extraordinary journey that led to his third and most ambitious album, The Golden Hour. From recording his debut, Good Luck Everybody, at Stanley Kubrick's historic home to headlining sold-out shows at London's The Windmill and Third Man Records and supporting The Libertines on tour, Saint Leonard has built a reputation for fearless reinvention. In this fascinating conversation, Leonard shares the wild and deeply personal story behind The Golden Hour—an album shaped by Wild nights in Berlin's underbelly, Spiritual awakenings in India, Isolation in a GDR-era apartment during the pandemic, and Collaborations with Brian Eno and members of Fat White Family. Recorded at the legendary Hansa Studios in Berlin and Paul Epworth's Church Studios in London, The Golden Hour blends electronic textures, techno pulses, and Weimar cabaret flair—all woven together with Leonard's surreal storytelling and dark wit. Highlights include: Meeting Fat White Family by chance in Berlin and forming a band overnight Collaborating with Brian Eno and how it reshaped his sonic vision Wrestling with identity, paranoia, and rebirth during lockdown Using music to capture the absurdity of existence—with a wink The Golden Hour is not just an album—it's a full-blown experience: cinematic, unhinged, and unforgettable.

In this episode I am speaking with four members of the Berlin chapter of the Female Photoclub. A Germany wide professional association which aims to increase visibility of female photographers, advocates for equality in the industry, and raises awareness of issues such as pay inequality and lack of representation. In addition to the Female Photoclub, we'll also be speaking about the group exhibition Invisible Lines: Reflexionen der Gegenwart, opening this Saturday 15th of March at the Alte Münze Berlin from 6:00pm, which showcases projects from 28 members of the Female Photoclub, and is included in the official program of the European Month of Photography Berlin.

Invisible Lines - Reflexionen der Gegenwart Under the title Invisible Lines – Reflexionen der Gegenwart 28 photographers from the Berlin Regional Group of the Female Photoclub explore the invisible boundaries of our society. In a time of growing conflicts and divisions, the photographs illuminate the subtle lines between closeness and distance, familiarity and otherness, community and isolation. “Invisible Lines” establishes a dialogue between individual perspectives and larger social structures, calling for reflection on the fractures of our time and encouraging ways to overcome them. - https://emop-berlin.eu/en/exhibition/invisible-lines/5624f791-8dd3-4d9d-8096-c29d75dc1bea/ - https://femalephotoclub.com/post/female-photoclub-berlin-invisible-lines-reflexionen-der-gegenwart-2025/ The Female Photoclub The Female Photoclub was initiated in 2017 and has been a registered association since 2020 for professional photographers.

Her work primarily focuses on art and cultural institutions, where she combines her two passions. In her personal projects, she explores how architecture appears in the absence of people, particularly in cultural spaces like cinemas, clubs, and swimming pools. Her photographs capture these spaces in their unique aesthetics and atmosphere. She completed her photography training at Lette Verein and holds a degree in Art History and Cultural Studies from Humboldt University in Berlin. Since 2024, she has been a board member of the Female Photoclub and leads its Berlin regional group. - https://www.nataliacarstens.com/ - https://www.instagram.com/natalia_carstens/ Catherine Lieser works with digital photography, with a focus on portraits.

In her art projects she is dealing with the question of whether and how one can unlearn normative thinking and behavior, such as gender-specific categorisations. We as society are surrounded by an imagery that shape such thinking and behavior and her work is an attempt to create visual counter-narratives, that stand in contrast to the normative imagery. - https://www.catherinelieser.com/ - https://www.instagram.com/catherine_lieser/ Chiara Dazi is an Italian documentary photographer with a passion for sports and the East; she is interested in how collective memories and borders influence identities and how individuals and communities deal with the notion of belonging and traditions.

In this third episode of the East Germany series, Artie is joined by Deputy Minister and fellow Berlin tour guide Tina to discuss East Germany's first major crisis.By the early 1950s, West Germany was booming thanks to American subsidies, while the GDR remained in ruins, burdened by Soviet reparation payments. Living standards had declined, fuelling unrest. When the government ordered a 10% productivity increase without extra pay, anger boiled over. On 16 June 1953, workers in East Berlin went on strike. By the next day, protests had spread nationwide, turning into a full-scale uprising. Crowds stormed government buildings, tore down propaganda, and overpowered security forces. The SED was on the brink of collapse—until Soviet tanks rolled in.The uprising was brutally crushed, killing 55 people, with more subsequently executed after show trials. In response, the GDR expanded Stasi surveillance, cementing its status as one of history's most oppressive police states.The Ministry of History offers more than just podcast episodes!

Alva Noto—aka Carsten Nicolai—has spent decades at the forefront of experimental electronic music and multimedia art. Growing up in East Germany, his work has been shaped by the country's stark aesthetics, Leipzig's bookmaking traditions, and the GDR's Bauhaus-influenced design. In this episode, we talk about minimalism, sound as texture, the NOTON label and how his collaborations with Ryuichi Sakamoto (including The Revenant soundtrack) have redefined electronic music.Carsten takes us back to the late '80s and '90s—a time when electronic music was shifting from analog to digital, opening up new creative possibilities. He shares how artists like Kraftwerk and Brian Eno paved the way for his work and how embracing imperfections in technology led to the birth of glitch.We also explore how music distribution evolved from CDs to MP3s, how that shaped the way we experience sound, and what it means for artists today. Plus, Carsten reflects on his friendship with Ryuichi Sakamoto and their artistic journey together.Listen in for a deep dive into sound, technology, and the art of pushing boundaries.If you're enjoying Lost and Sound, please do subscribe and leave a rating or review on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, or wherever you listen.

In this second episode of the Ministry of History's East Germany series, we're diving into the political system, ideology, and leaders of the GDR. East Germany officially called itself a democracy—its full name was the German Democratic Republic (GDR)—and it even held elections. But were they truly democratic? The ruling Socialist Unity Party (SED) tightly controlled the state, ensuring that real political power remained in the hands of a select few. Who were those select few? Just how was the GDR's political system structured? What was contained in its constitution? What was its actual ideology - communist, socialist or something else?

The Ministry of History Podcast is launching a brand-new series all about East Germany! Officially known as the German Democratic Republic (GDR), East Germany existed from 1949 until the collapse of communism and German reunification in 1990. Despite its fascinating history, many people hold misconceptions about the GDR, or just think about the Berlin Wall, and this series aims to set the record straight! Did you know, for instance, that the GDR boasted the highest living standards of all Eastern Bloc states? Or that it was a trailblazer in women's workforce participation?From its founding in the aftermath of the Second World War to its political structure, infamous Stasi secret police, and everyday life, we'll dive deep into every aspect of East Germany.

Donate to Personal Landscapes. Eighties movies portrayed East Germany as a vast open-air prison populated by monotonous grey blurs without individuality or agency, but the GDR was not a static land that time forgot. Katja Hoyer's brilliant book Beyond The Wall tells its story through the lives of ordinary people. She also grapples with the ongoing tension between a Germany that sees the GDR as an aberration, and the desire of East Germans to hold on to their memories of a life they lived in colour. We spoke about daily life in East Germany, why the Berlin Wall reduced political tensions, and why tinned soup became a modern political controversy.
Today we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history that occurred 35 years ago this month - the Romanian Revolution of 1989. This episode is from our archive and features, Mark Brayne, a former Reuters and BBC journalist, who provides a gripping first-hand account of the tumultuous events that led to the fall of Nicolae Ceausescu. As Mark recounts his experiences, listeners are given a rare glimpse into the life of a journalist reporting from a war zone. He embarks on a perilous journey to Bucharest, navigating roadblocks and dodging bullets to report on the revolution. His determination to capture the story amidst chaos and danger is a testament to the courage and resilience of journalists who risk their lives to bring us the news. Beyond the historical events, Mark shares personal reflections on how these experiences shaped his life and career. The emotional intensity of covering such significant moments led him to a new path as a psychotherapist, helping others navigate their own traumas. This episode is not just a recounting of history but an exploration of the human stories behind the headlines. It highlights the bravery of journalists like Mark, who venture into the unknown to bring us closer to the truth. For anyone interested in history, journalism, or the human condition, this episode is a must-listen.

Thirty-five years after reunification, the concept of an East German identity remains a complex and evolving phenomenon, shaped by the GDR's history and the transformative changes of the 1990s. These experiences continue to affect life in the region while feelings of cultural and political disconnection persist, creating a landscape where populist parties like the far-right AfD have gained significant traction. Delve into the historical, social, and political dynamics shaping these developments and their implications for Germany's national cohesion. - 35 Jahre nach der Wiedervereinigung bleibt die ostdeutsche Identität ein komplexes und sich wandelndes Phänomen, geprägt von der Geschichte der DDR und den tiefgreifenden Veränderungen der 1990er Jahre. Diese Erfahrungen beeinflussen weiterhin das Leben in der Region, während Gefühle kultureller und politischer Entfremdung bestehen bleiben – ein Nährboden, auf dem populistische Parteien wie die rechtsextreme AfD erheblichen Zulauf gewinnen konnten. Tauchen Sie ein in die historischen, sozialen und politischen Dynamiken, die diese Entwicklungen prägen, und analysieren Sie ihre Auswirkungen auf den nationalen Zusammenhalt Deutschlands.
Hello Radio GDR listeners! I am so pleased to bring you the second episode of two with my new friend Herta Peter. My favorite thing about doing this podcast is hearing stories from those of you who lived in the GDR. Your stories are always extremely compelling, and we welcome them with open arms. History deserves to be preserved, and Radio GDR has been here to do it. Herta was born in Halle in 1981. While she was only 8 when the wall fell, her memories of her childhood in the GDR to two parents who lived during the country's entire existence are simply amazing. Having family in West Germany, Herta received care packages she had to keep a secret when at school. Upon reaching pension age, her grandmother was able to visit the west but could never shake the habit of whispering, a survival tactic learned in the repressive East where, like the Three Monkeys one saw no evil, heard no evil and said no evil. Just listen for her story of the Soviet tank driver who made a mess no one ever talked about. From her memories of what she says were the "various shades of grey" she saw in the GDR, she has written and is working to publish a children's book about her memories - How the Grey Disappeared from Greyland. It's a compelling short story about the arrival of a colorful package in the land of grey, a representation of the care packages she got from the West. In this episode, we'll learn how her childhood in the GDR inspired her book and the lessons she believes life in the GDR can teach us today. Let's dive in with Herta Peter as she brings the second part of her story to life here on Radio GDR. Our ability to bring you stories from behind the Berlin Wall is dependent on monthly donors like you. Visit us at https://www.radiogdrpodcast.com/p/support-the-podcast/ to contribute.

Welcome to The Spark—your weekly creative pick-me-up from The Creative Boom Podcast. Every Thursday, we bring you a shorter, snappier episode filled with inspiration, creative news, and practical tips to carry you through the week. Whether you need motivation or insights, we've got you covered! This week, we welcomed Joseph Parsons to the podcast. By day, Joseph is a freelance graphic designer, and by night, he takes to the stage as a stand-up comedian. His dual career path sparked a fascinating discussion about balancing two passions: navigating the challenges of freelancing and the unexpected parallels between pitching design ideas and performing stand-up comedy. This episode is for you if you've ever juggled different roles in your creative journey. Joseph shared his thoughts on how the industry is changing, including the impact of the Government's IR35 legislation on freelancers and small businesses. We also explored how comedy has evolved, with platforms like social media offering new opportunities for comedians to find success outside traditional routes. Joseph's upcoming tour, Re-Designed, is a brilliant blend of his experiences in comedy and design—be sure to check it out for a good laugh and some relatable industry insights. This week's creative news takes us on a journey of nostalgia and innovation. In Finland, Aalto University is unveiling Nokia's design archive on 15 January, celebrating the brand that defined the mobile world in the '90s. From the iconic 8110 "banana phone" to the customisable 3210, the archive is a treasure trove of design sketches, marketing materials, and audio recordings, offering a rich blend of inspiration and history. Meanwhile, Cornish landscape artist Dianne Griffiths has won the 2024 People's Choice Award for her atmospheric painting Driving Home. This evocative depiction of a Texaco petrol station under a starry sky captivated voters and has even been purchased by the petrol station itself. In tech news, Apple is rumoured to be working on its thinnest phone yet, the iPhone 17 Air. Combining sleek design with advanced technology, it's shaping up to be a bold step forward in minimalist tech. Our Spotlight segment this week celebrates the 25 most admired graphic designers of 2024, as voted for by the design community. From bold innovators like Jessica Walsh to typographic legends like Astrid Stavro, these creatives are shaping the future of visual culture and leaving a lasting impact on the industry. The full list is a testament to the diversity and brilliance of today's graphic design scene. Our Book of the Week is Beyond the Wall: East Germany, 1949–1990 by Katja Hoyer. It offers a fresh look at life behind the Iron Curtain. This detailed history reveals the complexities of the GDR, from its Marxist roots to its collapse, blending personal stories with political insights. A must-read for history buffs! For our Tip of the Week, we look at networking and why it should be your priority in 2025. Networking is about building real connections. Start small—ask simple questions like, "What brought you here?" Follow up afterwards to keep the relationship alive. Authenticity is key. Networking isn't about selling yourself—it's about making new friends. On Monday, our guest will be Jessi Brattengeier, creative director at The New York Times. She will share her inspirations, processes, and aspirations and give us a really interesting look behind the scenes at one of the world's most prestigious publications. And then, instead of The Spark on Thursday, we've got a Christmas Special for you, featuring ten former guests of The Creative Boom Podcast, all helping us get into the festive spirit. Until then!

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Berlin Wall and East German border opening in the autumn of 1989. In this riveting episode, I speak with Dietmar Schultke, a member of the Grenztruppen, the East German Border Guards and delve into the life of those responsible for preventing escapes over the Berlin Wall and the East German Border. Dietmar opens up about his life in the GDR, sharing personal stories of his recruitment into the border troops, the rigorous training he endured, and the psychological pressures he faced during his service. Training in Eisenach prepared him for a potential third World War, with exercises in sharpshooting, combat, and gas mask drills. The psychological toll of such training was immense, as soldiers were constantly under surveillance, with one in ten being a Stasi informant. The cultural impact of the time was not lost on Dietmar. He vividly recalls attending a Bruce Springsteen concert in East Berlin, an event that felt like a taste of freedom amidst the oppressive regime. The concert was a beacon of hope, yet, the return to the border was a stark reminder of the barriers that still existed.

November 9 marks the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Wall. We're accompanying the date this year with a podcast series that will be out soon. We spoke to many eyewitnesses for the project. One of them is software developer Mathias Burbach. He lives in Sydney and accompanied and witnessed the fall of the Wall and the period before that as part of the Red Cross. The eyewitness was on site with a team at the embassy in Prague in the last days before the fall of the Wall and looked after the GDR refugees who were staying there. - Am 9. November jährt sich der Mauerfall zum 35. Mal. Wir begleiten das Datum in diesem Jahr mit einer Podcast-Serie, die bald erscheinen wird. Für das Projekt haben wir mit vielen Zeitzeugen gesprochen. Einer von ihnen ist der Softwareentwickler Mathias Burbach. Er lebt in Sydney und hat damals den Mauerfall und die Zeit davor als Teil des Roten Kreuzes selbst begleitet und miterlebt. Der Zeitzeuge war mit einem Team vor Ort in der Botschaft in Prag in den letzten Tagen vor dem Mauerfall und betreute die dort ausharrenden DDR-Flüchtlinge.
Siegfried Lokatis is a retired professor of book history, and former head of the University of Leipzig's Institute for Communication and Media Studies. He is the author of Book Covers of the GDR and is currently working on a history of the S. Fischer publishing house, due out in 2026. We met in Leipzig recently where Siegfried treated me to a tour of the Bibliotop's splendid Insel Bucherei book collection. Founded in 1912, the series now contains some 2,000 titles (and still counting according to Jonathan Landgrebe, head of Suhrkamp Verlag, the company that today produces the books). The series is iconic in Germany and in many ways its publishing history reflects the history of the country. The books are known for their beauty and the care with which they're produced. Qualities include: individual typographical design, exquisite illustration (notably from the thirties - stay tuned) and photography, and printing on wood-free, age-resistant paper, plus they're thread-stitched and bound in decorative cover paper. They served as the model for Allen Lane's King Penguin series. The Insel Bucherie series includes both well-known and little known texts from world literature as well as art history, non-fiction, poetry, and fairy tales, plus gift anthologies from Germany and around the globe. Subjects covered in my conversation with Siegfried include Rilke and copyright, the decision to publish established, versus contemporary works; Stephan Zweig and the Nazis, poisonous mushrooms, the rarest volume, the Allied bombing of Leipzig, censorship, the separation of East and West Germany, wartime profits, collecting, pornography and more.
This Day in Legal History: GDR EstablishedOn October 7, 1949, the German Democratic Republic (GDR), commonly known as East Germany, was officially established. This marked the formal division of Germany into two separate states after World War II. The creation of East Germany came in response to the formation of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) earlier that year, in May 1949. Backed by the Soviet Union, the GDR was a socialist state governed by the Socialist Unity Party (SED), and its formation signaled the deepening divide between the Eastern and Western blocs during the Cold War.East Germany's legal and political structure was heavily influenced by Soviet-style socialism, with a focus on state control over the economy and a one-party system that suppressed political opposition. The GDR also became notorious for its secret police, the Stasi, which played a significant role in monitoring and controlling the population. Over time, East Germany built the Berlin Wall in 1961, a physical symbol of the broader ideological and geopolitical divisions of the Cold War.The existence of two Germanys, one capitalist and the other socialist, persisted for 41 years until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, leading to German reunification in 1990. The legal creation of East Germany on this day stands as a key moment in the Cold War era, illustrating the legal and ideological rift that shaped post-war Europe.The U.S. Supreme Court begins its new term with a docket of significant cases, including disputes over guns, transgender rights, workplace discrimination, and online pornography. After a busy summer of emergency decisions, the Court's first case focuses on the Biden administration's appeal regarding "ghost guns," which can be purchased online and assembled without traceable serial numbers. Another key case involves Oklahoma death row inmate Richard Glossip, who seeks a new trial amid questions about his conviction. Additional cases involve Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, workplace discrimination claims brought by "majority background" workers, and the authority of federal agencies like the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and FDA. The Court also faces potential involvement in election disputes surrounding the 2024 presidential race. Despite its heavy docket, the shadow of ethical controversies and a proposal for Supreme Court reforms loom over the term.Trump's Election Bid Is a Wild Card as Supreme Court Term OpensUS Supreme Court kicks off new term with important cases ahead | ReutersThe U.S. legal services sector added 1,600 jobs in September 2024, ending a four-month decline, according to the Labor Department.

The fast-food chain alleges that the suppliers colluded to fix and raise beef prices by reducing the supply of slaughter-ready cattle, which artificially elevated prices. The alleged conspiracy, which began in 2015, was aimed at recovering profit margins impacted by years of drought. McDonald's claims that the suppliers limited production by closing plants and restraining market supply. The lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment, damages three times the amount of losses sustained, and a permanent injunction to prevent future collusion. The U.S. Department of Justice had already investigated price-fixing in 2020, and testimonies from cattle ranchers have reportedly confirmed the conspiracy. During this period, the suppliers saw record profits, with JBS reporting a significant revenue increase between 2014 and 2021.McDonald's Says Tyson and Other Suppliers Fixed Beef Prices This is a public episode.

The GDR would have been 75 years old on October 7. How should we remember the GDR? Should we talk about the injustice and the many border deaths or should we talk about it with a good dose of Ostalgia? We spoke to Günter Wetzel. He fled the GDR in 1979 in a self-built hot air balloon and is now traveling all over Germany as a contemporary witness. - Die DDR wäre am 7. Oktober 75 Jahre alt geworden. Wie man an die DDR ernnern soll, ist keine einfache Frage. Soll man über das Unrecht und die vielen Grenztoten oder doch mit einer guten Portion Ostalgie darüber reden? Wir haben mit Günter Wetzel gesprochen. Er ist 1979 mit einem selbst gebauten Heißluftballon aus der DDR geflohen und ist heute als Zeitzeuge in ganz Deutschland unterwegs.
Explain hardships of the past & personal pronouns in the dative: euch, ihnen / Ihnen. Paul boosts Grandpa's spirits with coffee and updates him on his search for the book. But because he gets many rejections for his job applications, he feels hopeless. Grandpa empathizes with him and suggests that he should start writing, even without a formal writing job. So Paul decides to work on freelancer websites and to create a blog featuring the story about Fritz. Grandpa finally reveals the story behind the book: it holds the secret to a forbidden painting that belonged to his father during the war. To safe it from being burned by the Nazis, Grandpa's father wrote his name on the back and hid it at a friend's house. Then he wrote the address of the hiding place in the book. Unfortunately, both Grandpa's father and his friend died in the war. After the war, the painting was no longer forbidden and Grandpa wanted to find it. But there was the GDR and now the book with the address of the hiding place was forbidden. So he didn't want to carry it around and ripped the page with the address out of the book. Then he went off in search of the painting. What happened on Grandpa's search for the painting? Why is the book so important even though the page with the address of the hiding place is missing?

C dans l'air du 27 septembre - Déficit : où trouver l'argent ? Le Premier ministre réunit tous ses ministres ce vendredi après-midi à Matignon pour un séminaire gouvernemental. L'occasion pour le chef du gouvernement de ressouder son équipe et rappeler ses "méthodes de travail" après une première semaine pour le moins agitée mais aussi de définir les priorités de ces prochains mois. Un conseiller ministériel a expliqué que Michel Barnier aurait demandé à chacun de venir avec ses propositions pour l'aider à construire sa déclaration de politique générale, prévue le 1er octobre. Avec en haut des dossiers : le budget 2025 qui doit être présenté à l'Assemblée le 9 octobre prochain.Une première équation particulièrement difficile à résoudre pour le Premier ministre et son gouvernement, aussi bien sur le plan politique que sur le plan financier. "Le budget pour 2025 sera sans doute le plus délicat, ou un des plus délicats de la Ve République", a déclaré le Premier président de la Cour des comptes, Pierre Moscovici, en insistant sur la situation des finances publiques lors d'une récente audition à l'Assemblée nationale. Le gouvernement a reconnu hier que la situation des finances publiques est plus dégradée que prévu et que si rien n'est fait, le déficit public risque de dépasser 6 % du PIB cette année, soit deux fois le seuil autorisé par Bruxelles et près de deux points de plus que les prévisions de la précédente équipe. Dit autrement, en six ans, entre 2017 et 2023, les dépenses publiques ont augmenté de 300 milliards d'euros, les recettes publiques de 220 milliards d'euros et le déficit est désormais proche de 180 milliards d'euros. Economies, coups de rabot, hausses des impôts pour le plus fortunés et les grandes entreprises… Toutes les pistes seraient sur la table pour trouver les 30 milliards nécessaires en 2025 afin de maîtriser notre dépense publique selon une note du Trésor. Mais dépenser moins pour combler le déficit, c'est l'objectif assumé depuis quelques jours par le gouvernement Barnier. Alors quelles coupes budgétaires ? Qui va payer ? Autre dossier sur la table, celui de la réindustrialisation de la France. "Nous devons redevenir une terre de production industrielle avec des ouvriers, avec des ingénieurs, avec des chercheurs. Nous devons redevenir une terre de production agricole, il s'agit d'une question de souveraineté" avait déclaré le 12 septembre dernier le Premier ministre lors de l'un de ses premiers déplacements en Savoie. Mais comment compte-t-il faire ? Outre le contexte budgétaire particulièrement tendu, l'état des forces en présence au Palais-Bourbon, sans majorité claire, rend l'exercice incertain et périlleux pour le gouvernement Barnier, déjà menacé par le dépôt d'une motion de censure du NFP. Les chefs des quatre groupes de la coalition de gauche à l'Assemblée, LFI, PS, Ecologiste et social et Gauche démocrate et républicaine (GDR, communistes et ultramarins), se sont entendus pour qu'elle soit déposée après la déclaration de politique générale du Premier ministre et qu'elle soit défendue par un membre du groupe socialiste.Une question budgétaire qui se pose également au Royaume-Uni où le Premier ministre travailliste, Keir Starmer, est en chute libre dans les sondages après avoir évoqué des finances publiques dans un état "pire" qu'imaginé et un budget, présenté fin octobre, qui sera "douloureux", "Il n'y a pas de décisions faciles à prendre quand on a 22 milliards de livres sterling à trouver", a-t-il dit à The Observer, pointant les gouvernements conservateurs successifs qui ont laissé ce "trou noir" dans les finances publiques. Il a néanmoins promis dimanche lors de l'ouverture du congrès travailliste de protéger les services publics "à genoux" et écarté la mise en œuvre d'une politique d'austérité.

After Thuringia and Saxony, Brandenburg, as the third federal state in the territory of the former GDR, will hold state elections on Sunday. Following the victory of the right-wing AfD - Alternative for Germany with its full name - experts also expect a similar outcome in Brandenburg. Dieter Herrmann, editor-in-chief of WEEK IN AUSTRALIA - is also not optimistic - Nach Thüringen und Sachsen wird am Sonntag Brandenburg, als drittes Bundesland auf dem Gebiet der ehemaligen DDR, Landtagswahlen abhalten. Nach dem bisherigen Siegeszug der rechtsgerichteten AfD - Alternative für Deutschland mit vollem Namen - erwarten Experten auch einen ähnlichen Ausgang in Brandenburg.

He studied education and after a 5-year intermezzo as a teacher he went into radio in 1987. The music department of east German radio station "DT64" was his starting point, where he began to present music shows. After the end of the GDR, he was involved in the development of public broadcasting in the new federal states of Germany at ORB's "Rockradio B". This was followed by 8 years at Radio "Fritz" and a move to RBB's station "radioeins" in 2001. He left this station in 2024 and now presents his show „King's Music“ at webradio NCR RAW.FM (https://ncr-raw.fm) and as podcast on all relevant indie music and platforms like many more.
Before John D. Rockefeller exercised his power and influence over the American medical system, we had a natural and holistic approach to treating and supplementing our lifestyle. When the Rockefeller funded "Flexner Report" was introduced to Congress, things would never be the same. A new system of singular style medicine came to dominate the Western world and medical culture of the 20th century. Today in U.S. medical schools, an average of 21 hours of all training is spent on nutrition. The pharmaceutical solution to most modern ailments is a pill. The U.S. and New Zealand are the only countries where drug makers are allowed to market prescription drugs directly to consumers. From the opioid crisis, unnatural dyes in our food and the recent craz with ozempic, Americans are facing a real health dilemma in how we analyze, diagnose and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The gatekeeper trio of Big-Food, Big-Pharma and the FDA have created a highly regulated system built for profits. Many Americans are suffering from chronic pain and dangerous opioids are the only solution offered in most cases. Clint Winters saw firsthand the destructive nature of opiates after his mom was diagnosed with cancer and became dependent on morphine. As a medical scientist, Clint went on a mission to find a natural solution to chronic pain that provided relief without the destructive and addictive elements. That is when Clint discovered something Big--Pharma already knew about but would not talk about. Conolidine has 14 years of research to support it as an all natural solution as powerful as morphine without side effects and risk of addiction. Conolidine is an all natural alkaloid that recharges the natural endorphin system in our brain allowing the body to properly alleviate pain.
