(TC end: 10:16:09)
01. with Minister Merkel on the road in the region of Bitterfeld 0'45 Angela Merkel. Policy of small steps in a crisis region. A balancing act between the interests of economic and natural.
Their job: Federal Minister for environment, nature conservation and nuclear safety.
0'59 the area of Bitterfeld, in Saxony-Anhalt - GDR times chemical and coal-fired station. Left behind are devastated landscapes and acidic soil.
So much money and know-how since 1990 has been in no other new State. I'm sure that Angela Merkel - she is PhD physicist - pursued exactly the State of restructuring and privatization.
1'24 "... that it's worth to show that labour market policy and environmental concerns here go hand in hand and have been well worn their fruits, but sicherüch still further efforts need."
1'38 Bitterfeld is optimistic: useful for the environment after 40 years of planned economy and necessary for employment. 1'52 the Federal Government aims to employ about 12,000 workers in lignite renovation over the next 5 years. -About the huge open pit remaining holes the coast is now clear. Good prospects for the Minister of the environment, one of the two women in the Cabinet of Chancellor Kohl's.
2'19 Angela Merkel understands what moves people here. She knows now, that environmental protection - these include also climate protection and clean water - is feasible only in small increments.
2'31 Merkel: "for Germany for example and other countries, the use of land is a big job. We drive out and distribute more and more plants and animals, because we humans continually intervene in nature and that must be decoupled economic growth and land use."
2'46 goals are highly connected in the troubled coal-fired station: as part of the groößten environmental remediation project in Europe to make headlines in the next century as a recreational area, nature reserve, living and employment site. -The Minister from Bonn about their understanding of politics: 3'05 "I also sometimes have worries and fears, but I am that we solve problems as a politician for that. It is not enough to describe it. And if you want to solve a problem, one must make a proposal, you must discuss and then also get through. I learned in the former GDR, that one needs patience, that it must drill thick boards that sometimes comes in the bustling West something missing and I think that helps me also."
02. The Rhein 3'31 we are in the largest inland port in the world, the Rhine-Ruhr port Duisburg. Eighty-six metres length control the wharf of steel island. Shortly thereafter, at the beginning of the lunch shift, the crane operator has already the first 20-ton steel rollers, called coils, on the hook. Loading done it all alone and the 'North Harbour' lowers the cargo into the huge belly specific for the production of automotive sheet metal.
4'06 virtually on your doorstep has the steelmaker Thyssen of its location. Since the merger with Krupp in September of this year the Thyssen Krupp Stahl AG, the third largest producer of flat steel is advancing around the world. Profits are achieved with high-quality and 40% less personal again.
4'26 of Duisburg the Rhine is the harbour of the city of Düsseldorf. The container handling business runs very well, but otherwise the port going through a structural change. The volume of goods handled is reduced considerably. Old harbour memories are blank.
4'46 but here Femsehsender, advertising agencies and computer companies settle.
"53" what you can today create 4?"
"58"100 kilometres - eleven hours, 4 we expect now."
5'04: the 'North Harbour' has itself now many Rhine ships mixed unterdie, largest inland waterway drive eco-friendly on the Europe.
5'13 announcement of the water level. No need to worry about today. It is critical only at low or high water. Manfred Schwarze, front, and Manfred Wirgis move together for three years.
5'29 four weeks continuously on board and then two weeks at home, which is their normal rhythm. Today they continue until midnight and after six hours of sleep we watch then continue to back 0. The Captains are a well-practiced duo. 5'46 Wirgis: "will be replaced at the latest after 6 hours, then slowly breaks the concentration - whether you like it or not, admit it" and before long response times occur, just changed."
5'59 there is an excursion boat. Change of scene. The attraction of the Rhine as a cultural landscape captured millions of tourists every summer. Many Japanese guests especially a rock impressed - the Loreley - a synonym for Rhine romanticism. Someone who has more time to explore the day tourists can look forward for example on the many fortresses and castles on the Rhine.
6'32 back on the 'North Harbour'. For the two leaders of the ship, the Rhine is only an international waterway, navigable on almost 900 kilometers from the North Sea in the Netherlands up to down in the Switzerland. That the machine is running and the view is good, so that the cargo on time comes to Basel in the Switzerland is important for them. Remaining travel time: 73 hours.
03. 100 years of aspirin 7'02 quality control must be - even in the most successful drug of ever, the aspirin. Salicylic acid, an ingredient of willow, is the parent compound for aspirin. No other drug is made in large quantities. Hardly a country on Earth where the Painkiller aspirin would be unknown.
7'25 unusual as its distribution is also the story of this one hundred year-old headache classic.
in 1897 the chemist Felix Hoffmann, employees of the German Pharmafabrik Bayer, to refine the awful bitter tasting Willow extract. He let him react with acetic acid. The considerably friendlier to stomach aspirin was created. Under the name of imagination, aspirin has conquered the world. And advertising helped it vigorously. An animated film from the 50s.
Argentines take 8 world's most aspirin. In the year, and everyone has almost 90 tablets at hand in your pocket. We make a sample. 8'36 "you have aspirin?" "Si."
American research confirms 8 new areas of application. The use of aspirin saves many patients life, such as heart attack and stroke. Professor Charles Hennekens from Boston about people who have just a heart attack.
9'03 "here could be proved clearly: the mortality rate due to ingestion of aspirin within 24 hours after the onset of infarction symptoms and during the following 30 days can be reduced to 23 per cent."
9'21 cancer research center Heidelberg. Here is a further capacity of aspirin on the track. The possible prevention of some forms of cancer. To Professor Friedrich marks.
9'34 "colorectal cancer is one of the most common cancers of the people. "And it is now relatively safe on the basis of about 12 to 13 studies that have appeared in recent times, reducing the risk of bowel cancer and bowel cancer to die by up to 50 percent if you regularly take aspirin or related drugs."
10'00 100 years of aspirin, and the success story writes new chapter.
04. Chinese pencil factory in Northern Germany 10'11 upswing East to Greenfield: A commercial area takes shape, conveniently on the Autobahn between Berlin and the port city of Hamburg.
Every few months a little party: company formation. Behind the recent company under the name "North German pencil factory" remarkable, for example Chinese employees to machines based in Shanghai. It's first Chinese direct investment in Europe. And financial support are also the Federal State Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
10'43-probing eyes. No problem for the young company: China has long experience in pencil production. Now they put on Germany as important and central industrial location.
10'58 employees like himself. Twenty Germans were engaged, the Chinese counterparts take over the training. And if everything goes according to the ideas of the Chinese business leader and his German sales manager, if the pencils with colorful coatings with and without Eraser despite the strong competition in the year 100 million PCs are sold, then more unemployment should be adjusted. -Also for investors from Asia, the predicate "Made in Germany" has an attraction. 11'34 greetings: Managing Director: "This optimal situation here will help to meet the needs of our customers on the German market and in the world."
Head of Chamber of Commerce and industry: "your operation opening is an important signal because your commitment show foreign investors for us to get, that it is possible even in difficult economic times, especially in this day and age."
05. Anne-Sophie Mutter - concert in the barn of 12'08 waiting a star. A newly restored Renaissance Castle as a backdrop, the province as a magnet for a special music event.
12'18 Anne-Sophie Mutter occurs here today: the Geigenvirtuosin. Remains of 34 year-olds, which is at home in the concert halls of the world metropolises, a bit of time.
12'32 Anne-Sophie Mutter was the biggest early talent. -17 years ago, these recordings emerged, the international music critics acknowledged her almost faultless virtuosity. 12'46 mother: "I have five and a half started playing the violin - with much passion. I think that one can have infinite pleasure, that you can see immediately the next higher before him after every summit, which is of course musically, and evolving if you are gifted for this profession. "Will to absolute perfection is very important and also the humility before the composer."
13'08 estimates Beethoven and Brahms, and increasingly the young composer. Charity concerts are a matter of course for Anne-Sophie Mutter.
13'17 mother: "if I play not fiddle, I deal little with music. I hear at most a little Opera home, because my kids love Opera. I'm a big fan of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
I hike a lot in the mountains, also for sporting reasons. because you put away a tournament physically not so easily, you must prepare themselves a little."
14'26-Johannes Brahms - poetical Chamber music in perfection. An enjoyment of art for 1400 paid music lovers in the converted barn. The others had to give only on the sight of the mega stars from Munich.
15'39 the better she plays - that gave us Anne-Sophie Mutter - all the more increase their claims to itself. This audience has motivated them for an encore after another.
15'54 and then finally the celebrated violinist was allowed to pronounce the obvious: 16'01 "at the moment I think only a shower and a cold beer!"
