VERSUS ( NATO )
01:00:22 Film begins with a very fast cut montage. First part of the story is mute. Images are: flashing coloured blocks, Leonardo de Vinci's famous line drawing of a man (the image used at the beginning of "World in Action"), landscapes, C/U of woman's eyes, a handshake, wrestlers, a holy man holding a bunch of flowers, soldiers on the march, C/U of bunch of flowers in a vase, extreme C/U of a mouth moving, Molotov cocktail being lit, building being demolished, clenched fist, V for victory sign, clenched fist, skyscape with various coloured filters. Montage presumably aims to suggest contrast between war and peace. <br/> <br/>01:00:39 Time lapse photography of clouds moving across a landscape and sun rising. Clouds shot in time lapse. Camera follows a seagull as it flies above the sea. Extreme C/U of light playing on the water, camera pulls back to show sea moving over rocks. L/S from high angle of beautiful rugged beach. Landscape, cows lie in a field. Extreme C/U of man's ear pans across to show his eyes. Water rushing across rocks. Pan across to show a woman's eyes in C/U - she smiles. Sound track comes in. C/Us of the faces of the couple are intercut with L/Ss of the landscape. Song on soundtrack is saying: "Why can't we have peace all the time?" C/U of two hands joining - presumably the couple. Shots of the couple embracing and kissing. He caresses the woman's face as she smiles. <br/> <br/>01:03:35 The couple kiss. C/U of the wheels of traffic. Shots of the couple intercut with busy traffic scenes. Gendarme directs traffic. Aircraft flies overhead. The couple begin to argue. We see them getting angry with each other - shots intercut with traffic scenes and demonstrators with banners. Shots of the couple arguing are intercut with shots of dictators, angry civilians, tanks, Nazis, barbed wire, C/Us of angry mouths etc. The man grabs a chain from the woman's neck. <br/> <br/>01:04:25 War montage - tanks, explosions, guns being loaded, bombers flying overhead, demonstrations, machine guns, warship, bombs being dropped, aircraft in flight on fire, bombing raids, nuclear bomb - mushroom cloud. Excellent montage - very short shots. Narrator speaks over the war shots: "We have always lived in fear, afraid of one another. One nation afraid of other nations. Today the conflict between blocks, West versus East . The spokesman for each: NATO and the Warsaw Pact, both maintaining a state of uneasy peace. This film is about fear, about conflict, about 15 nations who decided that the best way of maintaining peace was to form a defensive alliance born out of fear. What was there to be frightened of?" Narration describes how after the second world war, people looked forward to a stable and peaceful future. The narrator then details how the Soviet Union had annexed various territories during the war and how it continued with aggressive behaviour in the immediate post war period. Long travelling shots of bomb damaged buildings. Prisoners of war (?) Montage of the civilian victims of aggression - food queues, evacuees (?), women and children looking sad. "...before anyone realised the danger, the damage was done. Besides, there was no European Alliance to protect it." A simplistic animation of a wall being built in the middle of an idyllic landscape is used to represent "military unification - one massive block." Narrator speaks of the forming of the North Atlantic Treaty organisation. Camera zooms in to a representation of the earth viewed from space. Examples of the flags of the 15 countries contributing to this defensive alliance. Numbers on screen count back from 1960 to 1945. Still image of soldiers holding their fists high in victory pose. Still of women waving to a departing liner. High angle shot of Stalin shaking hands then sitting down at a circular conference table. Soldiers on the march, tanks in the street, Unidentified Eastern European leader lying in state. <br/> <br/>01:06:49 The Berlin blockade, Hungary and Poland. Various shots of military presence including a very clear shot of a civilian being shot in the back as he runs from soldiers - he falls to the ground. Map of Europe showing which countries Russia had invaded up to and including Czechoslovakia in 1968. C/U of Stalin. Group of men stand and applaud. M/S of Russian army march past. Tank. C/U of flags of NATO - "The reluctant soldier" - various shots of members of NATO - meeting in progress. Members showing their identification papers as they enter the NATO building. C/U of NATO representatives. <br/> <br/>01:07:50 Aircraft flying overhead. Narrator speaks of nuclear weapons. C/Us of signs in Berlin which read: "British Sector." "Vous quittez le Secteur Francais" and "You are leaving the American sector." Aircraft comes in to land. A large star draped in fabric or perhaps a flag, falls from the top of a building. Men run for cover, walls are rebuilt, barbed wire is attached to a pole, cameramen duck for cover, people look through barbed wire. <br/> <br/>01:08:22 Nikita Krushchev disembarks from a train and embraces a man not recognised. Tank, radar equipment, submarines, aircraft, aircraft carriers, military at work, helicopters. Voiceover speaks of the stockpile of nuclear weapons. Various shots of NATO members. "The ultimate disaster may never happen, but there are other, more immediate problems which affect us all. Pollution..." Environmental concerns are taken up by NATO. "There is little point in keeping the peace for over 20 years if the lives we live today are threatened by poison, disease and decay." Still image of a cowboy just about to reach for his gun in extreme C/U with a figure standing in the distance in a field - as if in the sights of the gunman. <br/> <br/>01:09:46 Montage of still images of children playing in the open air. C/Us of children's faces and hands. We see the children fight with each other through the stills. "We have within us the potential for hatred and the potential for love. For war or for peace. While we have the time, which shall we choose?" <br/> <br/>01:10:08 Launch of a Polaris missile from the sea. Animation of missiles piling up on top of the earth until it cracks apart under the strain. Montage of images presumably representing how we have polluted the earth. A small motor boat is moves through polluted waters, industrial chimneys belch smoke, traffic, exhaust pipes, dead fish in polluted river, aircraft, dirty water emerging from sewage (?) pipes, Shots of nuclear missile being prepared for launch contrasted with shots of the loving couple and of hyacinths growing through time lapse photography. <br/> <br/>Shot of the couple with a clapperboard in view. They stand very still and look serious. Landscape shots - river, field, seascapes, cliffs, rolling clouds, sun setting. End title reads: "A NATO film. Camera: Nick Gifford. Sound: Peter Le Moine. Editor: Richard Perfitt. Producer: Michael Redington. Director: Lawrence Moore. An RMEMI production. <br/> <br/>Note: There is no soundtrack for this part of the film . Can labels state that this was "Production 24" and that the M&E track was also used for Production 29. <br/> <br/>There is a nice "peace and love" hippie feel to the film. Psychedelic images, groovy music, juxtapositioning of "concept" footage. Very interesting!

Nuclear weapon: lend it to Europe... really?
1980s NEWS
INTERVIEW CONTINUES: John Schwartz 9:48 those things tug at the American heartstrings, whereas that there might be more present danger in this sort of talk about semiconductors, especially when you consider how popular Mr. Ishihara is in Japan. Peter Peterson 9:57 But let me ask Great Britain was the leading creditor for period. They went through a phase where First they invested in financial instruments. And then they invested abroad, the United States. And second, after the Second World War, became the leading creditor invested abroad, the Europeans were worried about our taking over. What in God's earth did we think the Japanese were going to do when they became the leading creditor? What were they going to do with their money? stuffing in mattresses are what you say. But we railed about being there being the world's largest creditor and our being the largest debtor, and with the American attention span being very limited, somehow that didn't have any meaning. But anybody that thought very long, said, you know, one of the things that happens when you get in debt is other people get your money, and they can do with it, essentially, what others have done with it. So economically, we shouldn't be surprised. Robert Lipsyte 10:50 Well, let's back logically to psychologically, do you think that there's any feeling now that the the Cold War seems to be thawing, and we as a nation, we've always needed to hate somebody? And now that we're probably not going to be hitting the Russians so much anymore? Do we now have to hate the Japanese. And since you're only 32, I'm not going to say hate the Japanese, again. John Schwartz 11:11 The there certainly a case to be made, that what's going on in the media is a is an Arab isation of the Japanese that, that in 1973, the oil embargo whipped up tremendous hatred against all our all our peoples Persians, anyone from the Middle East, and and that was only made worse by the hostage crisis. And that in the Arab countries were portrayed as money rich coming in to steal our resources, and being able to cut us off just by turning off the oil spigot, a lot of the same type of coverage happened. And I would hope that we're reading Oh, I know, I'm going back and reading my 1973 News weeks, and my 1973 New York Times and trying to make sure I don't fall into a lot of the same problems when I write these stories, because there's a danger to be written about. And then the challenge is to write about the danger, express the fears, but don't fall into the Zena phobic swamp that goes with all that. Robert Lipsyte 12:06 What about those fears? Do we have anything to fear? Peter Peterson 12:10 Well, I met last night with a bunch of CEOs at a dinner. And it was interesting to go around the table. I heard something approaching real fear. One executive said they're now spending twice as much on research and development. The Japanese economy is putting more money in plant and equipment, they got two thirds of the robots with 100 million people basically, the 5% of our kids that at the top and math and science are no better than the average in Japanese schools, four to five times as many other kids have taken calculus and computer related courses. So I think there is real concern about Japan assuming being number one and our living standards going down our ability to compete going down. Robert Lipsyte 13:01 Are those real, real fears? Peter Peterson 13:02 Well, they needn't be realized if we get our act together. But one of the problems is we were politically paralyzed, as well as being frightened. And one of the things we mentioned to some Washington people last night, is where are the people in Washington, whether it's the president or the senators of the Congressman, that are saying, Hey, there are real concerns here for our kids and where we're headed, and 10 or 15 years, I would let's make these choices here are what the issues are. But we've kind of been in this happy times mood, where it's bad politics for anybody's suggest that America needs to be to make choices. And I've argued that the biggest competitive weapon the Japanese have and the Germans is they have a long term economic consensus that is focused on the future. And in the 73 oil problem that hit the Japanese far more than it did not. They girded up their loins, increase productivity, improve quality, and they came out, okay. The Germans are endlessly making decisions about their future. But we rhetorically talk about investing in our future. But every time we have to make a choice between giving up something now so we can have more later, our political system seems to be saying, I want it now. So there's very little leadership it seems to make coming out of our political system. And I don't know how that's to blame the voters or the leaders or both. But I really wish that our leadership could somehow define the problem because I think many more Americans than we believe. Then they believe our I've got a feeling in their bones, they look at the streets, they look at their living rooms, they look all around. They hear the products are better, they hear the products are more advanced. I think they're ready for such a message, but our political system has not delivered it in my view. Robert Lipsyte 14:53 Peter Peterson, john Schwarz, thanks so very much for being with us.

27924 WORLD WAR ONE NEWSREELS ARGONNE OFFENSIVE LONDON ZEPPELIN RAID RUSSIAN FRONT (SILENT)
This silent newsreel includes three different segments. The first shows the Battle of the Argonne, the second a Zeppelin raid on London (3:50), and the third fighting on the Russian Front (7:09).<p><p>The Meuse-Argonne Offensive, also known as the Maas-Argonne Offensive and the Battle of the Argonne Forest, was a part of the final Allied offensive of World War I that stretched along the entire Western Front. It was fought from September 26, 1918, until the Armistice on November 11, a total of 47 days. The battle was the largest in United States military history, involving 1.2 million American soldiers, and was one of a series of Allied attacks known as the Hundred Days Offensive, which brought the war to an end. The Meuse-Argonne was the principal engagement of the American Expeditionary Forces during the First World War.<p><p> The Zeppelin Raid film is a short silent film that was made during WWI to dramatize use of dirigibles by the Germans to attack the allied forces, and especially civilian targets. The best-known German strategic bombing campaign during World War I was the campaign against England, although strategic bombing raids were carried out or attempted on other fronts. The main campaign against England started in January 1915 using airships. From then until the end of World War I the German Navy and Army Air Services mounted over 50 bombing raids on the United Kingdom. These were generally referred to as "Zeppelin raids": although both Zeppelin and Schütte-Lanz airships were used, the Zeppelin company was much better known and was responsible for producing the majority of the airships used. Weather conditions and night flying conditions made airship navigation and therefore bombing accuracy difficult. Bombs were often dropped miles off target (one raid on London actually bombed Hull) and accurate targeting of military installations was impossible. The civilian casualties made the Zeppelins an object of hatred, and they were widely dubbed “baby-killers”. With the development of effective defensive measures the airship raids became increasingly hazardous, and in 1917 the airships were largely replaced by aeroplanes.<p><p><p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

Russia Religion Trial - Museum chief on trial for alleged blasphemous art

Cutaway policemen 13. Samodurov approaches press 14. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Yuri Samodurov, defendant: "The religious organisations and the church, I think, have a right of censorship of those works of art that are meant for the churches. But the rest is anti-constitutional, it is outside the framework of the state, of our constitution." 15. Cutaway believers 16. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Yuri Schmidt, defence lawyer: "All the accused are not guilty, they did not break the law, they only exercised their constitutional right. And, above all, they did not intend to insult anybody nor incite any hatred." 17. Wide shot Taganka District Court STORYLINE A prominent Russian human rights advocate and two other defendants went on trial on Tuesday for organising an allegedly blasphemous exhibit. Yuri Samodurov and two others organised the controversial January 2003 exhibit called "Caution, Religion" at the Sakharov Museum, which was founded to promote democracy and human rights as championed by the late Soviet dissident and Nobel Peace Prize winner Andrei Sakharov. The exhibited works by about 40 artists included a Russian Orthodox-style icon with a hole instead of a head where visitors could insert their faces and picture themselves as God. There was also a Coca-Cola logo against the usual red background, but with Jesus' face drawn next to it and the words "This is my blood". Samodurov, who manages the Moscow museum, faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to 500-thousand rubles (17-thousand US dollars) if found guilty of inciting religious hatred. Lyudmila Vasilovskaya, who also works at the museum, and artist Anna Mikhalchuk also face charges. More than a dozen activists gathered outside the Taganka district courthouse as the trial began, holding banners saying "No to the Inquisition". All three defendants pleaded innocent. Talking to journalists, Samodurov said that it was anti-constitutional for the exhibit to censor art outside of religious institutions. Yuri Schmidt, one of the defence lawyers, said the defendants did not break the law and did not intend to offend anybody. He told the court that the charges were so vague, it was impossible to answer them, explaining that the accusations failed to pinpoint which art works incited religious hatred and against whom and why. The musuem has claimed the trial is punishment for its long campaign against the war in Chechnya, which Russian troops have fought for most of the past decade. Four days after its opening in 2003, the exhibit was vandalised. The six perpetrators were detained and charged with hooliganism, but after a publicity campaign conducted by a Russian Orthodox priest, the charges were dropped. About two-thirds of Russia's 144 (m) million people are considered Orthodox Christians. After decades of state-sponsored atheism, destroyed churches have been rebuilt and many Russians have embraced the Church and its rituals. However, the dominance of the Russian Orthodox Church and its centuries-old ties to the state have prompted concern among religious minorities. Some professed atheists claim that religious symbolism is as omnipresent and oppressive as atheism was in Soviet times. Russia's lower house of parliament has petitioned the prosecutor-general's office "to take the necessary measures" against the exhibit organisors.

50404 SOVIET PROPAGANDA FILM AMERICAN IMPERIALISM in VIETNAM & PRESERVATION OF PEACE
A sinister series of military conflicts keeps emerging in different parts of the world ever since the final shots of the Second World War have been fired. Imperialism stands behind each one of them. American imperialism is the most aggressive of all. (00.38)<p>Imperialists commit all sorts of crimes when trying to establish their dominance over the peoples. They create conspiracies, trigger civil unrest, spread racial and ethnic hatred. If all these dirty enterprises do not prove successful, they impudently intrude into a foreign country. (01.11) <p>What should peace-loving governments do in similar situations? The only way to preserve international peace is to firmly fend off the aggressor. That is what the Soviet government does, in alliance with the progressive powers of the world. (02.02) A powerful protest movement against American aggression in Southeast Asia has by now spread to all continents. ‘Get out of Vietnam!’, the nations of the world demand. (02.21)<p>But the aggressors are deaf to the voice of the international community. They force their way and expand the limits of this criminal war. (02.43)<p>In these conditions, the Soviet Union is faithful to its international duty, it increases its help to the fighting Vietnamese nation. We do not hide that this help will keep increasing in the future, it will go as far as needed. We don't hide that all our military hardware is shield and sword not just to our motherland, but to all the commonwealth of socialist countries. (03.25) <p>Be alert, take care of the defensive capability of our country and of the Red Army as Lenin taught us. We are faithful to our leader’s testament. Strengthening the military power and defense capability of the Soviet forces was and will remain the most sacred function of a socialist government. (04.02)<p>The government is the great manager of the common effort of the Soviet nation, it is the main instrument of building communism. The government is our stronghold. This is why the Party addresses all the Soviet people, it tells you and me, ‘Strengthen the power of your government’. How do you do that? Be at the frontline of life, where it is hardest. Live and labor like the Komsomol members working near the Vakhsh River who hew the river's way through a mountain. (05.00) Or follow the steps of the Komsomol members in Talnah, who work in the Far North and multiply the economic power of our motherland. If you like, you may follow the footsteps of these brave men. They strengthen their body and spirit, always ready to protect their country. (05.28)<p>There is plenty of work for those who feel themselves masters of the government. Look for it, choose something. The door into life is wide open for each of us. Some like big waves and ocean wind, others are fond of land roads. There are people who find their vocation in the most dangerous fields that are suitable for few. Meet Viktor Dimidov from Leningrad. This man, who doesn't look like a hero, who didn’t go to war when he was young, extracted and destroyed 10,000 Fascist shells and bombs that didn’t go off with his own hands. (07.00) What is Viktor thinking about during these minutes? About his family? About those who protected our lives at the cost of their own? <p><p>In the village behind the alder grove<p>Where the soil is hot from the sun<p>Grass comes out timidly<p>Tickling the sky with its stems<p><p>Long ago, battles were held here<p>Falling hard on the ground<p>Russian boys died<p>Fighting for this old village<p><p>They writhed in pain, face in the grass<p>And bitter ‘died’ reached home<p>The soil heaved behind the village<p>With waves of young boys’ graves<p><p>Today we are twenty, like they were<p>Today we sail different ships<p>We are swayed by the happiness <p>Of the land they fought for<p><p>The land where grass grows timidly<p>Tickling the sky with its stems<p>The land behind the grove<p>That is hot from the blood of those boys (08.15)<p><p>‘I am a citizen of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, joining the ranks of the Armed Forces, take the oath and solemnly swear to the last breath to be loyal to my people, my Soviet homeland, and Soviet Government. I swear to defend it courageously, skillfully, with dignity and honor, not sparing my own blood and life.’<p>
