Berlin Wall 13th anniversary shows stronger escapes ban
Berlin marked the 13th anniversary of the border on August 13 as officials said the wall is more impenetrable than ever. West Berlin police reported 2,584 refugees escaped in year one and 334 in year three, while 34,000 have crossed in 13 years. The barrier’s defense is tighter with a mined strip and 14,000 border troops patrolling.

Australian unions halt Russian violinist exit in Perth
In Perth Australia unions blocked the exit of Russian violinist Georgi Ermolenko for a second day. Officials said they would determine today if he seeks asylum in Australia. Airport staff refused to issue tickets and the group returned to their hotel amid pressure and tape-recorded statements under duress. The case recalls the 1954 Petrov Affair and highlights labor union influence in Australia.
