Iraq: Mass demonstrations in Baghdad. After the successful suppression of a revolt, Prime Minister Kassem is celebrated as a national hero. But the demonstrations are also State President of Nasser, the man accused of having instigated the revolt against Kassem. So symbolically threatened him with the gallows.

United States: Hawaii, South Pacific paradise and dream of all tourists is the 50th state of the United States. The archipelago is populated by people of many races, have been seeking for years, to become American citizens. All over the world to eat pineapple from Hawaii, and over a million tons of sugar are won each year.
Maybe one will be President of the United States of these new citizens once.

Virginia: For the young in rocket technology is apparently taken care of in America. In the State of Virginia, there is a Cape Canaveral for amateurs.
The game to the conquest of the Weltenraums begins to replace the wild romance. Berlin: the Hahn-Meitner - to serve the academics in Germany Institute for nuclear research in West Berlin. The core of this research center is the nuclear reactor with the control panel. In addition to the most modern technical equipment a monitor to the hand and boot control on radioactive beams. But not everywhere is danger, where the Geiger counter registered, because it responds to very small, harmless amounts of radiation.

On the trail of the spring the world of tomorrow - and the world of yesterday. We filmed this in Berlin. The 89jährige organ builder Richard Töpfer in his workshop, the last of an extinct crafts.
Here, it is still like the good, old days. If the organs are collected, it is spring in Berlin.
Now many things in the divided city's concern, in particular is built at the Schloß Bellevue, the Berlin residence of the Federal President, and in the old Reichstag, one day again to be seat of the German Parliament. In Hamburg, the spring was coming what held the cleanly Hanseatic League not to start each in his own way with the due spring cleaning.
Rush again on the famous "fish market", where you literally can buy anything, which creepeth upon and crawls.
Too soon flown from the sunny South this Stork, which would be almost starved on a chimney in the Hessian village Crumstadt, came not inventive people had stood by him with a hearty Dumbwaiter.
The movie stars spring is a spring of film awards. Everywhere in the world, the achievements of the past season will be awarded now. In Karlsruhe, there was for the eleventh time "Bambis" for the Favorites of the audience.
As the most popular young stars, Hansjörg Felmy and Sabine Sinjen could win the prize.
W. Fischer and Gina Lollobrigida won Ruth Leuwerik, O. - not for the first time - at the established. Such glittering highlights can not hide, as£ the film industry mainly competing with the television does not always equal opportunity be given. Therefore he - Business Association of movie theater in North Rhine-Westphalia demanded the removal of the film tax at its annual meeting. Finance Minister Dr. Sträter accepted this requirement although not generally, said however, inter alia: original tone: "I seem not to be mistaken, that the film industry a year must raise 150 million in amusement taxes. Also the amusement tax of the film feel the film industry as competition-inhibiting, an argument for which I have all understanding."
An unusual insight into a competition behind closed doors was our camera in the Museum of Wiesbaden. Five hundred for the upcoming major exhibition of the Deutscher künstlerbund should be selected from three thousand works of contemporary art. The jury far beyond Germany, famous masters of fine art.
A difficult and responsible task has fallen to this jury. The search for the current in the art of our time.
This is not art, although we are here in Paris, where painter and clochards belong to the lifeline image of his city.
Here, the spring is a very individual thing, because while you swear a still on the winter coat, others are already on the calendar.
Spring in Paris - who really seek him, finds him also.
Unaffected by the changing of the seasons we found here – in bold construction of the UNESCO Headquarters during a tasting his latest Ballet creation: Serge Lifar.
"The unusual", so is this ballet, which is accompanied by voices and electronic music, and although the critics not rarely a little sceptical Serge Lifar and his creations, he certainly brings out of the ordinary. Whether it is an artistic sensation however, that is not with Serge Lifar.
The conservative London, spring is an event that you accept with equanimity, but if you look closer, there are also small seasonal adventure.
The fashion show from the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret is one of the tradition here. England's leading fashion houses showed her new collection, which failed this year particularly imaginative and varied.
There was much interest among the Royal guests, and only little. Ceremony.

To the Grand Prize of the Federal Republic, we found the unmistakable atmosphere of a large, reitsportlichen event during the international riding and jumping in the Dortmund Westfalenhalle. Here, the horses with the famous name for the start of the "Grand Prize of the Federal Republic" will be prepared.
The elite of the European show jumping rider went on a course that placed high demands on rider and horse. The decision was made only in the playoff.
The 22 English dawn Wofford on "Hollandia" mastered the course flawlessly in 36.9 seconds and thus came in second place.
A second faster was the Italian Piero d' Inzeo however "the rock". D ' Inzeo won the "Grand Prix" and was the most successful rider of the tournament at the same time.
