Spotlight Elisa Gabai, voiced folk singer from Israel: it belonged to several hit stars that are free provided their show Arts in the service of a good cause. The action of "Biafra auxiliary" had loaded in Lübeck to a three-hour event. The starving population receives their proceeds from Biafra.
Two students from Biafra sang the freedom song of their homeland. For a few minutes, she summoned the horrors of inhuman civil war. "We are Biafraner, we are fighting for the freedom, with Jesus we will win it".
Events have supplanted the extermination of a tribe in Africa from the front pages of newspapers in Eastern Europe. But there are still hundreds of people in the areas of hunger by Biafra die every day. The action of "Biafra help" is already active in 11 northern cities. She wants to make citizens Committee anywhere in the Federal Republic to reinforce their charitative. Enlarged eight years French scientists and engineers had worked until a captive balloon could drag the first French hydrogen bomb on the calculated height of the test on the Fangatanfa atoll. Lit she was kilometres 68 aboard the Cruiser "De Grasse" from the site. The 2 mega-tonne bomb was an explosive force of 2 million tonnes of conventional high explosives. The France of de Gaulle's celebrated the mushroom clouds over the Pacific Ocean as a great scientific and industrial success.
By the destructive power of its first hydrogen bomb, France hopes for a revaluation in the Club of the five nuclear-weapon States. Protests of the riparian countries, Japan and Australia will be forgotten tomorrow in Paris: establishing an own nuclear deterrent force continues to have priority in the French defence concept.
France in its Force de Frappe is 12 billion marks in the year. Because in the nuclear age - as the former Chief of general staff Ailleret had taught once - there are no alliances in truth.

Spotlight on the Mexican military is trained in waltz time. For two months, the cadets change their parade ground. On lawns, they rehearse "Olympics in case of emergency". The gymnast cadets are an agenda in the opening show on October 12.
The Olympic crowds not reaching Tulancingo - it is the quietest Center of the sporting event. The new space station will be the Centre of international communications via satellite. "Intelsat 3" to be shot in a height of 36,000 kilometers. The control panel sends the images of the Olympics to the satellite. Of the respective stations they can be caught on again all over the world.
In the 108 meter high message Tower in Mexico City, sound and image are distributed, reinforced and translated. For the first time, it is possible to send an ink transfer in multiple languages at the same time. The sword of Damocles over the perfect news network: Will the satellite in the correct position be?
Today, Salvador will not shock once Dali. His "cosmic athlete" is Spain's contribution to the Cultural Olympiad. About the quality of his works, there is no doubt for the famous mustache wearer. He is of the firm opinion: "I paint irresistible - such as Dali."

Sport high-wire artists - a dying Guild, who has to struggle not only with its own competitors. Today we want to "Air pilots" from East Germany present, audience, ladies - a family-owned company zurücksicht on 300 years of tradition and international success.
Strapped in and good insurance a cameraman at 18 m turned this training footage.
For the artists, the struggle for existence will be in the future a matter of metres. You must always higher up not to go down. Before the summer scenery of the Spanish Balearic Island of Cabrera, 15 Nations held the air. The elite of European and African scuba divers here met for the Championship in spear-fishing.
Hard-pound halibut are the most sought-after trophies of the day. Lucky German fish, this type of diving - in contrast to America - our spreads only slowly. Today, there are about 20,000 underwater hunters in the Federal Republic. They left the sea creatures - the Italians took the Cup.
Views of Europe's race course of fashion. Iffezheim has remained true to his reputation, to be a representative meeting of the international turf clan. Start of the "great prize of Baden".
Hot favorite - the nightmare of German racecourses - "Luciano", the number 2. nine times has helped the Stallion trained by Sven von Mitzlaff its Belgian owner to the victory. But the Thoroughbred competition on the heavy 2,400-metre course is undaunted. Close she pressed Jockey OSSI Langner.
In the finish, the 4 year old Englishman "Chicago" shows peak power. But the wild "Luciano" often with 3 1/2 lengths ahead at the finish. A bad day for the bookmaker. "Betty" victories are too safe.
