Obama to follow in JFK's footsteps in Berlin

President Barack Obama will deliver a speech to Berlin in front of the historic Brandenburg Gate later this month, the White House has confirmed.

Obama was not allowed to use the gate as a backdrop when he delivered a speech to 200,000 people in the German capital as a presidential candidate in 2008.

He will become the latest President to make a speech in the city, following in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and John F Kennedy - who famously said, "Ich bin ein Berliner" in 1963.
