Third generation of the Berlin Wall is erected

The video discusses the historic Reichstag in West Berlin and the Berlin Wall, originally built in 1961 to prevent refugees from fleeing East Berlin. The wall is heavily guarded by East German soldiers and is undergoing reconstruction to replace barbed wire with a new prefabricated wall. This construction is seen as a renewal of Cold War tensions, following the collapse of East-West discussions. The East Germans refer to the new wall as their modern border, while West Berlin police suggest the project aims to make the barrier more visually appealing.
