Should our grudging peace ever falter, today's, warriors can stage a battle far worse than any. thing our world has ever seen. For more than 30 years now the world has lived with the unthinkable, namely that civilisation as we know it could be brought to a sudden and catastrophic end in a nuclear holocaust. Until the recent Salt II debate there has been little talk in public or private during the past decade of the possibility of nuclear war. As a topic it has been brushed under the carpet by politicians and people alike. In this programme Peter Ustinov breaks through the veil of secrecy and indifference to examine four possible routes to nuclear war ana in turn gives substance to the particular nightmares they evoke.

Mind you, no two people seem to be able to agree exactly what punk rock is, as is evidenced by the fact that someone has been phoning us off and on during the day and trying to convince us that our guests tonight, The Damned, are not a punk rock band. And punk rock fairly clearly means something entirely different to Americans. Anyway, we’ll hear a lot of music that may be punk rock, and a lot that certainly is."*
		- "*I'm very grateful to the bands and the people who make the music, or most of them anyway, for the excitement and heated debate and general bewilderment they've brought back to the rock scene. And it's been long missed and sorely missed, I think."*

## Events

* In order to ease the growing flow of refugees from East to West Germany, the Politburo decides to allow them to cross directly via exit points along the borders. During a rather fumbled press conference the East German spokesperson Günter Schabowski announced that exit could also be made via the Berlin Wall with immediate effect. The announcement soon made it to West German news programmes that evening, also watched in the East, and crowds started to gather by the Wall, overwhelming the surprised guards. Finally, at 10:45 p.m., Harald Jäger, the commander of the Bornholmer Straße border crossing yielded allowing for the guards to open the checkpoints and allowing people through with little or no identity checking. During celebrations between East and West citizens that night and over the coming days, the Wall was triumphantly brought down piece by piece.
