But with homophobia still rife in Russia, the fact that he was homosexual is often glossed over. This documentary charts his life in the form of a video diary, based on the composer’s own writings – a life poised between forbidden passions and respectability. Tchaikovsky sought to hide his homosexuality, and despite fleeting affairs with men, attempted to lead the life of a respectable married man. The marriage, however, was a disaster for both him and his wife. His letters and diary entries attest to a troubled soul. Their content is worked into the film to underscore that his fate was one that still resonates today. Similarly, his music has a modernity to it that is often overlooked. Shot as though through Tchaikovsky’s own eyes, this documentary is set in present-day Berlin. ‘The Tchaikovsky File’ explores the creative process and looks at what it means to be ‘different’. It’s the story of one man preoccupied with the question: who am I? 02:00 DW News 02:03 The Bundesliga – Your Team, your League, your Show 02:15 Sarah’s Music – Contemporary Classical 02:30 Check-in – The Travel Guide 03:00 DW News 03:03 Kino – The Movie Magazine 03:15 Traveling by Train in Panama – Documentary Although much older than the famous canal, the Panama Rail Road never enjoyed the same recognition. The maiden voyage across the Isthumus of Panama in 1855 was the first train to run from ocean to ocean. Its significance was lost, however, just four decades later when the U.S. opened a route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Today a train ride along the old line is a treat for tourists. Ever since it opened for commercial operations in 1914, the Panama Canal has been greatly beneficial to the economy in Central America. Eighty-two kilometers long, it meant goods could be shipped from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast much faster; a single journey could be reduced by a good three weeks. From 1914 until 1979 the canal was under the control of the United States. For two decades it was then jointly controlled by the US and Panama and in 1999 full control was given to Panama. This incredible feat of engineering is the pride and joy of its citizens and generates around 40% of the national income. But before the canal, the Panama railway was the first to affectively connect the Atlantic with the Pacific. Today, 77-kilometre route between Balboa harbor in Panama City and the port of Cristóbal on the Atlantic is used to transport both freight and passengers. The panorama cars offer tourists a unique view of the canal. On the small islands off the Caribbean coast, they can also visit the Kuna, an indigenous people with a unique way of life. The Casco Viejo, the historic quarter of Panama City, is also well-worth a stopover.

Hate-driven demonstrations against Chancellor Merkel, refugees, democracy and the rule of law have become commonplace. The Pegida marches were followed by the unexpected success of the far- right AfD party in regional elections in 2016 and have evolved into a fully-fledged movement that hopes to carry populists to power. Far-right populism is gaining traction all over the western world, from Britain and the US to France and Germany. Who exactly is driving this development? This documentary explores the connections between neo-Nazis and business, and shows how they are fanning the flames of public discontent in a bid to build up a non-parliamentary, anti-democratic movement. 06:00 DW News 07:00 DW News 07:30 Morocco's Opportunity – Documentary After side-stepping the Arab Spring, changes are happening in Morocco – but not in the form of political upheaval. With its modern infrastructure and low production costs, the country is courting investors. French car manufacturers in particular appreciate the close proximity to their large European market. The kingdom is keen to provide prospects for young generations by providing jobs. Is Morocco a model state for North Africa? Morocco’s experiencing an economic boom. More and more European companies are moving in. The aviation industry has also discovered Morocco: Boeing, Bombardier and Airbus all having aircraft components manufactured there. It takes less than 48 hours to deliver goods from Casablanca to Toulouse, the heart of the European aviation industry; the sector has seen a 25% growth in recent years. King Mohammed VI has spent a long time working to modernize the country. That improves the prospects of young Moroccans, who, as a result, are less apt to fall into the hands of extremists. But Morocco still has a major problem to solve: illiteracy is still high among women and the rural population. The king’s economic policies have not been fully embraced by everyone. Critics consider them opaque and accuse Mohammed VI of increasing his personal wealth with a number of complex holdings. Nevertheless,
