In this Wednesday, June 17, 2020 photo Gunnar Dedio, German film producer and managing director of PROGRESS Film GmbH poses for a photo between rolls of film in the archive of PROGRESS Film, in Leipzig, Germany. A new project is underway to digitize thousands of East German newsreels, documentaries and feature films 30 years after Germanys reunification. The East German Augenzeuge, or Eyewitness, newsreel on the Kennedy visit trumpeted the prank as a triumph, scoffing that the American president got an โunexpected surprise instead of the great view into the East German capital promised by his Secret Serviceโ and allegedly had to cut his visit from โ20 minutes to five." Germany was divided into four occupation zones after World War II, the Soviet-influenced East Germany and West Germany's American, British and French sectors. In 1950, the year after East Germany was established as a country, the authorities formed another company, Progress, as a state monopoly to distribute DEFA films and to import foreign productions.

WASHINGTON (CNN) - For the third consecutive week, Jane Fonda was taken away in ziptie handcuffs during a climate crisis protest at the US Capitol, but this time she was joined by fellow actor Ted Danson. The pair were arrested by US Capitol Police during what Fonda has coined "Fire Drill Fridays" following weeks of climate crisis demonstrations at the Capitol. "We have to behave like our house is on fire, because it is," Fonda said, referencing a phrase teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg has been known for. During the protest, Fonda urged resistance against new fossil fuel extractions and encouraged fellow protesters to hold elected officials accountable for pushing reforms. This week's protest theme was "Oceans Can't Wait," with next week's slated as "Women Can't Wait," according to the Fire Drill Fridays website.
