Helmut Kohl's Last Major Television Interview | DW Documentary
He made very few public appearances since suffering a stroke in 2008. The last major television interview with the former Chancellor was conducted by Stephan Lamby and Michael Rutz in 2003.
Never before had Helmut Kohl talked so candidly in front of the camera and in such detail about his life and his policies - and he never did again. In honor of this great statesman, Deutsche Welle is broadcasting excerpts from this remarkable interview. Helmut Kohl talks about reunification, Europe and the introduction of the Euro, and about extremely difficult periods in his life such as the party donation scandal and his wife Hannelore’s suicide. Helmut Kohl: up-close and personal.

It is also a matter of deep concern for some of the kingdom’s neighbours, notably Iran, which is locked in a region-wide power struggle with its Arab arch-rival that increasingly risks sucking in the US and Russia.
For younger Saudis frustrated by the kingdom’s hidebound traditionalism and inflexible religious laws, Prince Mohammed is seen as a reform-minded new broom who could sweep the country to a brighter, more open future. For critics at home and abroad, he is a dangerous and inexperienced firebrand who could undermine stability and lead Saudi Arabia to unintentional disaster. » | Simon Tisdall | Sunday, June 25, 2017

Inside Story: What Is Behind the Campaign against Al Jazeera?
It's often said that journalists should avoid becoming part of the story. But the story of this regional crisis is now putting journalism at the centre of it.
Al Jazeera says the ultimatum - which must be met within 10 days - would not affect daily business.
