Hello.
Thank you for listening to our old newscast episodes about the fall of the Berlin Wall.
And thank you to Graham for messaging to say,
I'd like to congratulate you on the programmes you did on the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The two episodes document what happened in a very entertaining and knowledgeable way.
Jill said, I thought the podcasts on the Berlin Wall were excellent.
Thank you.
And also thank you to newscaster Rachel.
who said it helped her son revise for his GCSE history exams over the bank holiday weekend.
We are here to serve.
And there's some Germany-related political news today as well,
as we record this episode of Newscast on Tuesday,
because it took two attempts for Friedrich Merz to win the vote in the German parliament.
actually become the chancellor.
And the fact that he lost the first time round by just a handful of votes,
that's the first time that's happened in the post-war era.
So that was seen as a bit of a bumpy start for his new chancellorship.
So German politics, just as interesting now as it was then.
And there's plenty of other news happening in the world for us to talk about on this episode of Newscast.
