Welcome to the 'Nazi Village'! | DW Documentary
Birgit and Horst Lohmeyer live in a village mainly inhabited by staunch neo-Nazis. Once a year the couple takes a public stand against the right with a rock festival that attracts such iconic bands as “Die Ärzte”. The tiny village of Jamel in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern can be quite frightening. Almost all of the 40 inhabitants are staunchly right-wing, but Birgit and Horst Lohmeyer are exceptions. They want to do something to counter the rising blood-and-soil ideology. For the past eight years, they’ve been putting together a music festival in their village that takes a stand against the far right. Some local residents have reacted with hostility, and tried to drive the couple out. Their barn was even burned down by an unknown assailant. The Lohmeyers say it’s an oppressive atmosphere, except for a few days each year when bands and fans fill the village. Cult bands like “Die Ärzte”, “Die Toten Hosen” and “Fettes Brot” have already joined the event to stand up for tolerance and openness. The right, however, won’t stand for it. Will things remain peaceful? A report by Mariel Müller.

How Much of a Threat Is the Far-right in Germany? – Inside Story
Briefly, the streets were owned by far-right protesters, who chanted Germany for Germans, and who reportedly gave Hitler salutes and chased anyone who looked foreign. Police struggled to keep control them and fights continued the following day between far-right and left-wing demonstrators.
The violence has raised concerns that the city is a neo-Nazi stronghold, and has shown divisions in German society about immigration.
Chancellor Angela Merkel allowed more than a million migrants into the country at the height of the refugee crisis in 2015. The biggest opposition party, the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) seized on what it saw as an open-door policy, winning 92 parliamentary seats in last year’s elections.
Is anti-migrant sentiment growing in Germany?

Can Europe Live without the US? | Inside Story
EU leaders want to save the nuclear deal - and multi-billion dollar business contracts. But European companies are bowing to US demands by pulling out of Iran - including British Airways and Air France, which are grounding flights to Tehran.
That's despite revised EU legislation called "blocking statute". It's aimed at nullifying US legal action against European firms which defy US sanctions on Iran.
Germany's foreign minister has called for independent payment channels to be created which could avoid US sanctions. And French President Emmanuel Macron says Europe's historical partner 'seems to turn his back on this common history'. So, how wide is the rift across the Atlantic?

Do US Sanctions Work? | Inside Story
Sanctions have been around for decades, but came to the fore after the 9/11 attacks on the US in 2001. They are now again present when diplomacy does not work.
President Donald Trump has been imposing them more widely and more often. The latest were over Turkey’s detention of US pastor Andrew Brunson, which has triggered one of the most serious rifts with a NATO ally. But those targetted by the US are hitting back with their own sanctions, some of the same level and scale. And the list of countries affected is long. But do the sanctions serve any purpose? And who gets hurt the most?
Presenter: Hoda Abdelhamid | Guests: Richard Weitz, Director of the Center for Political-Military Analysis at the Hudson Institute; Mohammad Marandi, Head of North American Studies graduate programme at the University of Tehran; Christopher Preble, Vice president for defense and foreign policy studies at the Cato Institute.

Are US Sanctions Realigning Global Alliances? | Inside Story
The response has been a nearly universal "no". Some of Washington's closest allies have even promised legislation to protect their own companies against possible American reprisals.
We have been here before. In 1996 the Helms-Burton Act sought to force the rest of the world to adhere to Washington's long-standing boycott of Cuba. A 1977 law penalised US companies honouring the Arab boycott of Israel; and as recently as 2014, shortly before the nuclear deal was completed, France's largest bank, BNP Paribas, agreed to pay the US Justice Department an eight-point-nine billion dollar fine for violating US sanctions related to Iran.
Can extra-territorial sanctions really work? If they don't - as seems likely - what will that mean for America's broader role in the world?
Presenter: Hoda Abdel-Hamid | Guests: Steven Rogers - Member of the Donald J Trump for President Advisory Board; Scott Lucas - University of Birmingham (UK); Aniseh Bassiri-Tabrizi - Research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute for Defence Studies
