Entertainment - Freddy's Expo Show
"I would like to thank the exhibition management for the event of the German Day. I hereby declare it open." World Expo 70 in Osaka. For one day, she was under the sign of the German ball pavilion. After the opening of the German Day by President Heinemann, the Federal Republic reflected itself in the critically weighing eyes of its hosts. Futuristic architectural visionary, progressive lyrizing on the fairground of exaggerated effects and national vanities, Germany had spoken remarkably discreetly. The German pavilion was tuned to intermediate tones. The underground halls, the hanging gardens promised quiet moments in the noisy Expo hustle and bustle. When the President of the Federal Republic came, he was allowed to be satisfied. No smashing success stories, but at least ... a large Japanese survey institute had published: the German ball pavilion is in the public favor of the Japanese in 6th place. Despite the ambitious interior, despite confusing film projections, which also bury the viewer under a visual acoustic flood in other exhibition halls. The Kessler twins were supposed to make the specifically German visible on the German Day. Freddy helped, as did the Bielefeld Children's Choir. Trampoline turners. Roller skaters, strength athletes, yodels and art cyclists Asian courtesy hid their astonishment at what came from Culture from Germany. The President remarked: "That must be the case!"

Politics - Twens at the ballot box
Youth has become an important factor in our society. Their influence on industry and the economy is considerable. In political life, their voice counts more than before in North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony and Saarland. Elections are just around the corner. Countries where the right to vote has been reduced to 18 years. The last citizenship election in Hamburg showed that the turnout of 18 to 21-year-olds was decidedly higher than that of voters between 21 and 35. We asked young people about their willingness to vote:
"Will you vote?" -"Yes, I'm going to vote, oh I'm 20 now and I think any citizen who is interested in our political lives should also get involved in politics themselves "Yes, I'm going to vote, because if I didn't vote, I wouldn't be able to have a say, then I couldn't say anything about what's going on." -"Will you vote?" -"No." - "Why not?" -"Because I haven't dealt with this new situation yet." -"It is good that we finally have the opportunity to express our opinion differently than to take to the streets and demonstrate." "Do you also take part in political demonstrations?" -"Yes, I believe that this is the right and duty of the citizen of Germany to take part in demonstrations, because it is the only way to actively express his opinion." -"With a political demonstration, one usually takes a position on day-to-day political issues, while in an election one employs the government for 4 years. "-"Yes, young people have the possibility, by lowering the voting age, that without radical methods they can exert considerable political influence." -"Yes, I think we should take the opportunity, especially as young people, and if we can already choose that we can express our own opinion."

There-culture - provocative theatre
They came from Bremen and Vienna, Stuttgart and Basel-complete productions with backdrops and props, with extras and stars "What does this meeting mean for Berlin"
"For Berlin, it means that in the midst of a multifaceted german the theatre landscape of Berlin, the centre, the capital of the theatre, is, so to speak, for 14 days, and that the audience of Berlin, this theatre-experienced audience, can gain an overview and insight into German-speaking theatre life."
A programme between classical and avant-garde. Yesterday's theatre-goer, who is looking for an honorary card for edification, sometimes finds the ridicule of the young people. Berlin's artists advertise with pop posters and happenings for a theatre meeting that wants to be something different from a museum show. The theatre no longer wants to be just the Sunday pleasure of exclusive circles. In the foyers, the discussions revolve around the demand for artistic provocation, about content and forms that awaken the appeal for theatre with a wide audience. From Kortner's interpretation of "Clavigo" to the economic situation of small private theatres, the list of topics of the evening discussions ranges.
"Mr. Dr. Hoser, we know that the private Berlin stages do not have an easy time surviving. What do you think of the 1970 Theatre Meeting in Berlin?
"I want to call it a learning process where I can see simply: these are other forms of theatre that can convey new content and that I can use, and to which I am incredibly happy to have contact to recognize, to learn."
Some experiments, however, deliberately steered towards the scandal, for example "Change" served as Klamauk in the performance of the Viennese Volkstheater brutality.
Rio de Janeiro. Dream setting, colourful metaphor for a carefree and happy life. Their sensual rhythm - as the connoisseurs say - is synonymous with the lifeblood of this city and its inhabitants. Rio's rhythm is the samba-in the luxurious villas on the beach as well as in the favellas, the slums of the poor on the outskirts of the city. Samba between corrugated iron huts: consolation, forgetting, hope - hope for many coloured girls, as a samba singer to find the way out of the slums upwards. Eliana Pittman is one of them. Eliana Pittman seems to be one of the few who will succeed in jumping out of the shanenstadt. Rio's critics agree: Eliana has what it takes to have a show career.

Sport - Canoe Polo
Kick-off for the German final in the canoe polo. At the canoe meeting '70 in Neuß, a sport struggled for recognition, which water sports enthusiasts until now valued as a hobby of the evening-to the exclusion of the public. Now the canoe polo fans are going out for a broad effect. The referee is the only one who stays dry with the canoe polo. From the shore over eight he observes the rules of the game. The game : a mixture of canoeing training polo and water polo. Every player is allowed to guard the goal: there is no fixed goalkeeper. 6 players per team paddle around the ball on a water surface of 70 by 50 meters, which can be driven into the generic goal with everything that is suitable.
The handling on the water is subject to strict regulations unsportsmanlike is according to the rules of the game the one who shouts at his opponent, insults the audience or wrestles with the referee. By the way, the endgame between "Polizei Hamburg" and "Wanderfalke Essen" ended 6: 5. In Neuß, the general verdict-will have to do without canoe polo for the time being was olympic dedication- so.
