Mourning over Willy Brandt.
In Berlin, politicians from many parts of the world
pay their last respects to the social democrat and former chancellor.
President von Weizsäcker speaks.
The life of a great man has come to an end.
He shaped an era.
He reconciled the German people with themselves.
He changed Germany's relationship to the world and vice versa.
And so he became, and there are few of these,
a pragmatic visionary.
His reactions were quiet,
and sovereign at heart.
Willy Brandt remained true to his ideals even after his chancellorship.
Spanish Prime Minister Felipe Gonzáles
talks of his engagement
in the North South Commission and the Socialist International.
Goodbye, my friend Willy.
Willy Brandt was able to witness a reunified Germany
in his lifetime.
In the city that shaped him,
in Berlin, he finds his last resting place.
