It-news hour the rebels "Red Dany" gave a taste of the French revolution on German soil. France had expelled the student leader. His violent attempt to return home - supported by 1,000 German students - failed. Daniel Cohn-Bendit has not seen Paris in the days of greatest need.
Interim results after 12 days of a general strike: 10 million French are virtually without income and it is feared that are the trade unions unable to end the strike.
The previous concessions of the Government is without precedent. You mean extra costs about 15 billion francs in the year, and that is to shake the stability of the franc.
"The people have said no" ruled de Gaulle opponents Mendès-France shortly after the General urged 28 1/2 million French voters to the vote To give him and his reforms. "J 'ai décidé de soumettre au souffrage de la nation un projet de loi par lequel je lui demande de donner à l' état et d'abord à son chef un mandate pour la rènovation."
The answer, which gave Paris Charles de Gaulle, was devastating. That night, the number of injured increased to nearly 2,300. About 1 km pavement was torn up, trees, cars burned. The battle lasted until the morning.
The fall of the regime is the target of all those who participate in the chaos. But still not knowing how to look the new order in France which should follow the chaos.

It - technology energy in Bavaria experienced people and white-haired men with English touch. The Prime Minister came up with the train. Politics meets with business and industry. Kindness on red, patent leather shoes on marble and speeches at the opening: "may the work of a happy, successful and peaceful future ahead. May it be therefore the welfare of our country Mehren."
UFA it presents: impressions of refinery, the largest in Bavaria, the most modern in Europe.
Refinery, i.e. refining of crude oil. Maximum capacity: 4.4 million tonnes per year.
250 invisible staff control the work. It cost 450 million marks. Since opening the BP refinery Bavaria mineral oil with more than 50% of the most important energy sources in the southernmost land of the Federal Republic.

This youth Emma power fashion you is with particularly long legs on this Earth: the English Diana, Diana Rigg. But about German catwalks she runs just your name. The textile industry bought the long-standing karate-Emma for her fall fashion after she forever said goodbye the TV series. UFA it accompanied a day the future movie star, which earned the first laurels with Shakespeare and now parading the mannequins. Fashion for young people is their motto. "The fashions that I wore as Emma Peel were on expression of what I like to wear of young fashion and we attempted to make it high fashion so that the young people would watch to see what I what wearing".
Aggressive, mocking in constant competition with men and a. Shot unverkühlten sex. Is this Diana? She says no.
"Obviously, identified quite a lot with the character of Emma Peel but the acting the competition that always rationale between herself and males, is not me at all" You too will make films in Germany?
"If it's a good script, of course, I make a film in Germany, and as to my future plan - I don't make plan for the future at all."
If the script is good, of course. In addition I don't make plans for the future and worry for the future has [...]

In medicine the Contergan process more than 100 file folders contained the relief material of the defense [...] shaft. In the Casino of Bill "Anna", the most spacious hall, the Landgericht Aachen was able To find the Contergan process - the biggest criminal of German legal history began after 6 year old preparation time.
7 leading employees of the Contergan producer company are indicted. The Prosecutor accused of it through the sale of the sleeping draught Contergan culpably public endangered and Moreover, negligence and intentionally causes numerous children nerve damage and limb malformations.
How could this happen? UFA it visited the modern manufacturing facilities and research laboratories of that oft-quoted pharmaceutical company. 1961, thalidomide was withdrawn from sale, but still here working on the problem of the not vorausschaubaren side effects of this drug tested in the laboratory, animal and clinical trial. Years of experiments with Contergan proven on thousands of rabbits, rats, and Mauser that birth defects can occur on schedule, nor are artificially bred. Where abnormalities were found, they had to be attributed to other causes. Here the skeleton of a healthy young rabbit and the embryos of two rabbits of the same litter, of which one was randomly deformed.
Sharp increase in deformed babies during the 4 1/2-year-old Conterganverkaufs but the question lies between scientific control and one for culpable human failure.
The tragic background of the process is the existence of the so-called Thalidomide children 2.625 are today in school age. They need economic and humanitarian support for the difficult adaptation to the society of civil compensation proceedings but can be initiated only when the question of guilt in the criminal trial is resolved. We asked the principle Defender for nerve damage, Dr. Dörr, whether he believes that the side effects of the Contergans to predict: "prior to the preparation on the market, it was checked adequately. Animal experiments and clinical controlled trials of long term have no evidence indicated that any side effects could occur." "The company today others what would do, when she Once again geriete in such a situation?" "I don't think that the company could do something else, done as she has."
2 the process will take years - assuming that no special incidents force a suspension of the trial.
