Sidelight Strasbourg: report our cameramen. In Strasbourg, the joint meeting of the "European Parliament" chaired by Robert Schuman met for their first session.

Moscow: In Moscow, the surefire candidate Nikita Chruschtschew propaganda choice spoke of the Supreme Soviet.

New Zealand: In New Zealand a triumphant reception prepared Fuchs and Sir Edmund Hillary the Antarctic hero Dr. Vivian.

Accra: In Accra, the population of the Republic of Ghana celebrated the first anniversary of their independence.

Cape Canaveral: And in Cape Canaveral you rejoiced at the successful launch of second US satellites.

We searched for the spring as an event after the other. The event however, which employs millions of people at least for weeks, is not an event at all.
It is a process that is as old or new as the earth itself. And because we were of the view that this operation is desired for, of all but A lot to little registered, we went to once the spring in Europe.
You like to argue, what is exciting: a rocket launch or the start of a season, the spring anyway, has never disappointed. The first plough to the first they come from tree surgeons, all sooner or later.
We were determined to take the spring once at his word. How it looks on March 21 in Europe? Our cameramen went on the trip and we visited Berlin - Paris - Rome and London.

London: one thinks of the Thames Very much realistic. And as the spring nor in any way with facts to be seen, you kept a positive message from Buckingham Palace and more. Queen Mother Elizabeth returned from a successful tour of the British Commonwealth. In military duty, only the Palace Guard picked the empty streetscape, and the first enthusiasts have been found only in Hyde Park, or they were not found.
Fashion is always far ahead of time. And she are hardly the first rays of the Sun, broods the last ideas.

Rome: And so it was in Rome. On 21 March, you said just - policy - rather than a young painter, Novella Parisini, which gives considerable headache both its supporters and its critics.
Emilio Schuberth has already zeal, to design his winter models.
The Sun City on the Tiber is the first rush of tourists already behind him. And otherwise: Dolce far niente.
Sitting on the elegant Via Veneto droves outdoors, drinking his coffee, converses and makes the old heart young again. With enthusiasm, as she own only the southerners, the youth of Rome celebrated the St Joseph's day, a national holiday in Italy.
250000 people gathered on Saint Peter's square. Their innovations were Pope Pius, was carried through the crowd on his throne and called on young people to work for a spring of humanity.
We made the Very much popular discovery that the spring with showers approaches, this year exclusively on the road.
(Original sound clever u, dish)

Paris: The connoisseurs among you figured that out already. We are now in Paris, even Very much in Paris.
About France capital seemed the Sun; but appearances are deceiving, the gardens look the spring-cleaning your visitors come, and you must be also here Not much thought-provoking, to determine that the real enthusiasts will never die out.
For a very special Parisian establishment it seems but last spring. For the world famous flea market, the progressive urbanist To want that it disappears forever,- and just this world of lazy characteristics it is that has brought so many lovers of Paris. We met Nadja Tiller at a leisurely window-shopping and V/age Giller, here on the boulevards at least zujenen people who read a newspaper from the rear, while the headlines on the front page reporting the French Government Gaillard of the newborn worries they belong.
Slightly away from the Champs Elysee, unmissable night life offers its seasonal attractions. You chose and presented the "most beautiful man of Europe."
And as information for friends of pop: the rock 'n' roll lives on.

Berlin: At slightly elevated temperatures, we recommend: the spring in Berlin. Germany's capital city reported 2 degrees above zero, but the Berliners, all powers despite not renounced their old customs. The 21 March experienced its traditional egg ride on the Wannsee, the inhabitants of the Zoo showed no understanding for such late calendar jokes.
But swears on his calendar of Berlin, Susanne Erichsen performed their latest models, and on the Kurfürstendamm, the obligations to the spring were redeemed at least musically.
In the same week, spring declared solidarity with the transit authority, both went on strike, of course for completely different reasons.
It is colder or warmer it will? Forecasters predict nice weather. So we were still somewhat cautious.
But what we have in Paris have found the Berliners have almost symbolizes it. The enthusiasts never die, despite snow, despite the rain, despite sparse sunshine. The last report of the winter sports and if we lead you to the conclusion in the snow of the Bavarian mountains, then with the comforting promise that this is the last report of winter this season. The best jumpers in the world to fly in the depth were on the giant Hill in Oberstdorf.
Max Bolkart crashes when the world record mark of 1 * 39 metres, the Finn Valkama so is the farthest flight of the year. 136 meters.
The Austrian Willi Egger goes over the Hill, at 98 meters, he pulls over the template.
The most beautiful flights succeed the Thuringian Helmuth Recknagel. 6 fantastic experiments he is flying King of Oberstdorf.
