The current information Düsseldorf: In Moscow, an economic agreement and a consular Treaty were signed after nearly nine months of german-Soviet negotiations. In addition, an agreement on the repatriation of German citizen was hit. Düsseldorf International Airport was the head of the German negotiating team, Ambassador Dr. Lahr, a short interview: (original sound :))
"We are now faced with the encouraging results that we can do something for our compatriots in the Soviet Union, that we have done something for our economy and have signed a Konsularvertrag." I think that the whole thing will help, to improve the future of german Soviet relations."

Madrid: An agreement on the German assets seized in 1948 in Spain was signed by Foreign Ministers of Brentano in Madrid. Then, President Franco received his German guest for an extended interview. Budapest: Hungary celebrated the 13th anniversary of the Communist regime with a big parade. Guest of honor was the Soviet Prime Minister Chruschtschow. Before 500,000 people, Party Secretary Kadar stressed the Hungarian Soviet friendship. Khrushchev used this opportunity to request the setting of all nuclear weapons tests.

Thun: Bombs fell on a Swiss town. Whole city blocks were destroyed. -This was the tactical adoption of a civil defence exercise in Thun. All the possibilities of air war have been rehearsed. Spilled from the salvage and care wounded up the necessary demolition of collapse threatened ruin.

Bonn: What happened in the Bonn government quarter, was however not a drill. A bomb of unknown origin exploded in the "House of crafts". Fortunately, nobody was hurt. The motive for the bomb attack are still unknown. Brussels: the final preparations for the world exhibition in Brussels stood under the sign of the symbolic Atomium. An unofficial kick-off was the reception of the approximately 2,000 members of the international press. They were the first of some 40 million visitors expected for the next six months in the Belgian capital. 51 countries and international organizations display their products on the 5 1/2 million m² grounds, never before were so many nations together on an exhibition. It stands under the motto: "Balance sheet of the world for a more humane world."

Roads were 165 years the "Ripple Rock" cliffs in the Seymour - Canadian waterway dangerous shipping obstacles. Countless vessels were stranded there, and over 150 sailors had found the death. With 1350 tons of explosives, the rock barrier has been fixed now. The blowing up of the cliffs is the largest nichtatomare explosion, which ever took place. A new road originates in Suriname. A road through the dense jungle to lead along the Saramakaflusses. 30 metre high trees like matchsticks be killed with special machines. Inexorably, equal to antediluvian animals, the steel giant force their way through the forest. The first 75 km of new road will be finished later this year.
A course of London bus drivers was the security issue on the streets. They were given "Schlidder class" so to speak. When you get that at 80 kilometers per hour in the slides, it may be not so scatterbrained, like our friend as a simple pedestrian.
Happy private lesson for "scatterbrained" pedestrian (original sound).

Sports from all over the world Berlin: billiard amateurs from 7 countries took part in the European Championship in the free game. In a row, the Belgian Vervest played 491 billiards. Before the German Siegfried Spielmann and the Belgian van hassel, Vervest won the Championship for the fourth time.

England launched an international road race on the Isle of Wight. The unlikely pace apparently infected. The paper boy anyway, was faster than ever before. The Englishman SEGGER clinched victory and victory kiss.

Japan: With wild war dance New Zealand martial arts heroes sought to intimidate their opponents. However, the Japanese could not be put off. Also not by the reputation of their guests, to be the best rugby players in the world. But the longer the struggle went on, the more the tough new Zealander prevailed. In the turbulent battle, New Zealand finally won with 33:12.
