Chronicle of the week interview in the Kremlin: arrived to a ten-day fact-finding visit in Moscow, the British Prime Minister, Harold MacMillan. He was greeted at the airport by Nikita Chruschtschow.
The official talks between the two leaders and their foreign ministers, which began on the same day, aimed at the Elimination of international tensions. The British Prime Minister said he had come to Moscow as an icebreaker.

Red Army: A detachment of the Red Army in West Berlin. As every year, so marched this year Soviet occupation troops through the Brandenburg Gate, to lay wreaths at the Soviet Memorial on the anniversary of the Red Army.

Coal crisis: Strikes in the Borinage, the Belgian coalfield. More than one hundred thousand miners laid down work to protest against the closure of mines become unprofitable. They fear to lose their jobs by this rationalisation measures.
On the streets of barricades and demonstrations. But the problem of "Carbon" is not on the road, it is deeper and is not confined to Belgium.

Maneuver: fleet maneuvers off the Israeli coast in the Mediterranean. Israel, which feels threatened by the Egyptian submarines of Soviet origin, that is, to build up a German coastal defence. The sailors and cadets of this destroyer are mostly young immigrants from the Arab countries.

Thrust into the unknown a new, artificial satellite orbiting the Earth. At Cape Canaveral, this 20-pound, automatic weather station was installed in a vanguard rocket and shot at their car. You will spark valuable results for weather research at most altitudes.
This Soviet submarine "Severyanka" dive into unknown depths.
It is the first submarine to the purely scientific purposes, the exploration of the seas. Rourkela steel plant an industrial project of major proportions is produced in India, not far from Calcutta. With the help of German engineers and workers, the Rourkela steel plant is developed here at the edge of the jungle, which will have a capacity of one million tons of steel annually.
It is the heart of an industrial centre that will facilitate connection to the modern economy of India.
This church was given to the Indians of Christian faith by the German guests, and after the inauguration, there was still a little party of the country tradition.

Small and large animals seen by small and large animals - Zoological - abound in the now snow-covered forests of Russia. Where the Red Fox garnering around, as also his favorite dish is not far - also for camera a field day: the snow bunnies.
King is in these Woods but not the deer, but the so rare in the wild aurochs. Each of the powerful boys is registered and has an officially certified Ahnenpass.
Large eyes made these days the inhabitants of the "Wilhelma", of the Zoological Garden in Stuttgart, Germany. Expected to visit, in a way big animals by the film. The Chief of Protocol had it not take to welcome guests personally and then asked them for a snack.
Climax was the baptism of the single tamed Hyena dog in the world the name "Bumi", the "beloved beast".

Berlin: And because we're on the film - prominence of any size met with the traditional Berlin Film ball - this time in the brand new Hilton Hotel. Producers, directors and actors had appeared almost complete from the busy Studio of Berlin and West Germany.
Such a festive break strenuous filming was perceived as outstanding relaxation – but perhaps this kind of relaxation is not for everyone. And so we got an other mesh on the track.

Simple on-kraus these gentlemen in Helmstedt, for example, during the day much harassed merchants have their own recipe manager disease. They founded the first men's knitting Club of in Germany.
At the beginning, it is still somewhat slow, but knitting is not only soothing, but promote human contacts.
And should the boss's Office lost the thread in the dictation, he can be sure even flatter by his Secretary in this case.

Sport Canada: winter sports - just different. This traditional canoe regatta on the icy St. Lawrence River is a Canadian specialty. As long as the boats of water under the keel have occupied with 5 man it goes forward still fast, but then it - says get off.
The winners way, setting a new record - in the ice slide.

Zell am see: winter sports times also on Lake Zell. This trotting with Schlittensulkys is called Gasslfahren. Cheers for the winner, cheers but also for heavy working horses that can show here at least once in the year that they have temperament.
This rural equestrian Festival on the ice is a comfortable blend of sports and fun for everyone.

Food: the 6,000 spectators at the sold-out Gruga Halle Essen by the first appearance of the Soviet ice hockey team expected a sporting treat. The Russians, in dark dress, competed against a West German combination.
The strongly tapered, Soviet team, big favorite for the upcoming World Cup in Prague, showed tremendous speed and perfect technique and had West Germans rarely come out of the defense.
After it was already 5-0 for the Russians, in quick succession 3 hits reach the West German selection. The final score was but 6:3 for the team of the Soviet Union, perhaps for the next world champion. Chamonix: Follow us now please to Chamonix to one of the last, large ski races this season. Anderl Molterer, who has had so much bad luck in this year, was here all over again a big favorite.
From the dream! So, Grand Prix of Chamonix was a triumph of the French skier. You finished only seven top 10 in slalom.
But the downhill decided the combination victory.
The track was in good condition and there were only slight falls despite new course records.
And this is the Austrian Pepi Gramshammer. Not a bad substitute for the missing Karli Schranz. He won the downhill and finished second in the combination of Chamonix.
