the German divide For years, Germany was split into to two countries: the socialist East and the capitalist West and visits to opposing territories were strictly forbidden. This meant would-be visitors needed a spark of creativity if they were to overcome such obstacles.

first space selfie American astronaut Buzz Aldrin may not have been the first man on the moon, but at least, he had the accolade of taking the first space selfie. Tweeting about it years later, the famed Nasa spaceman wrote, ‘Did you know I took the first space selfie during Gemini 12 Mission in 1966? BEST SELFIE EVER.’ We agree, Buzz. We agree.

make peace not war At the height of the Vietnam protests, the ‘Flower Power’ slogan, an expression coined by American Beat poet Allen Ginsburg, was seen by many of the younger generation as a means of protest against pro-war governmental policies and American Dream ideals. Years later, the flower has become a symbol for hippy culture and was viewed by many as the catalyst for the counterculture movement that followed.

Hitler in paris Upon the Nazi occupation of Paris in 1940, Adolf Hitler posed in front of the Eiffel Tower with his architect Albert Speer (left) and his favorite sculptor Arno Breker. Before the Nazi occupation, the lift cables were cut by the French so that Adolf Hitler would have to climb the steps to the summit of the Eiffel. The parts to repair them were allegedly impossible to obtain because of the war. Hitler indeed stayed on the ground. It was said that Hitler conquered France, but did not conquer the Eiffel Tower. Some German soldiers had to climb to the top to hoist the swastika, but the flag was so large it blew away just a few hours later, and it was replaced by a smaller one. A Frenchman scaled the tower during the German occupation to hang the French flag. In August 1944, when the Allies were nearing Paris, Hitler ordered General Dietrich von Choltitz, the military governor of Paris, to demolish the tower along with the rest of the city. Von Choltitz disobeyed the order. The lifts of the Tower were working normally within hours of the Liberation of Paris.

The Indonesian government has carried out executions of four convicted drug traffickers, while sparing the lives of 10 other prisoners, Al Jazeera has learned. The convicts were shot by firing squad at the Nusa Kambangan penal island shortly after midnight on Friday local time (1700 GMT on Thursday) amid pouring rain, according to TV reports. Al Jazeera's Step Vaessen, reporting from Jakarta, said among those who were executed were two Nigerian citizens, a South African citizen and one Indonesian. "All the others are still waiting their trials to be reexamined," our correspondent said. "It's not very clear what actually were the last conclusions why these executions didn't take place. But the government is saying it has something to do with legal issues." The attorney general's office had said earlier on Thursday that 14 people, including foreigners, would be executed "soon". The lawyer of Pakistani prisoner Zulfikar Ali earlier told our correspondent that his client was not among those who had reportedly been executed. Al Jazeera's Vaessen said there had been "a lot of pressure" until the last minute to stop the executions. The executions were the third set carried out since President Joko Widodo took office in October 2014. Widodo's two-year-old administration will have executed more people than were executed in the previous decade. Fourteen were put to death last year. But one prisoner, a woman from the Philippines, was spared the death penalty at the last minute. The European Union and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights had called on Indonesia to impose an immediate moratorium on executions, and the Indian and Pakistani governments also made urgent efforts to save two nationals among the condemned. The Indonesian government said the death penalty is necessary for narcotics-related crimes because the country was facing a drugs epidemic, particularly affecting young people. But critics argue that capital punishment is not an effective deterrent and some have also questioned the accuracy of the government's drug abuse statistics. The government of Jokowi's predecessor did not carry out executions between 2009 and 2012, but resumed them in 2013. www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/07/reports-indonesia-executes-convicted-drug-traffickers-160728182341683.html |
