9:03 pm
my dad was still upset with the way they had to live and my mom seems to have modified her views because the more time passes. and the more i guess she realizes that she believed in an illusion. i feel sad that they have to endure. the difficult times here. when. i wouldn't care if i if i had to bring out the children in good times oh for a change when your country has to be rebuilt again after two hundred years so folks ok patient first by the russian empire and then the soviet union.
9:04 pm
in one thousand eight hundred nine this was the parliament building and people gathered here in dish thousands to protest weeks against the roof moscow. the georgian police who is overseeing the protests but actually it was the russian special forces who cracked down on them on april ninth in the middle of the night and killed twenty people mostly women. they just chased them. down in l.a. waste and some people like in the stairwell so where they were hiding where just battered and killed. i was not even
9:05 pm
two years old when april nine events happened. my parents and my relatives they describe it. as. the biggest trustee committed by the soviet union in their lifetime. we still remember it and it still defines how we view the soviet union and now russia. exactly seven months later the berlin wall fell. this is the world remembers not our protesters who were killed and honestly and deliberately under the cover of darkness and. please please please please this is my room i can please you to match is a photographer who covered to build up to the nine to fame problem my past is collecting in negatives not only in files i mean digital but the real negatives
9:06 pm
which was not present when the soviet army attacked but he took a picture in the days that followed that has become a symbol of our resistance to the soviet union it was shot from top you know what about the protesters did they realize what they were doing the protesters were from seventeen through twenty five mainly all youngsters but i mean there's a ninety percent live on there is only girls or because there were some kind of show they are part of this it been sort of show it was criminal act for people who were going to as they were seen to have a. result like this it was a. size of power. this woman was not. just one but as. you know never say just because she's a young but the good intentions with the rule to the hill sometimes and you know
9:07 pm
this it happened doesn't moscow or as an apology for sending in special forces they number the one to to kill somebody you know this is a all died in stumpy top twenty ladies died but due to the us speaks you no one has ever hit them but there were wounded but there were no killings but if you want to live now in the soviet union did what you have against soviet union i don't know hearts to imagine soviet union as a place where a person would be happy oh my god don't like good people they're so happy i remember mine with my own eyes your brain a bush it been a six hour we're really right but the countries that went towards western values developed better the countries that stuck to the ideology of russia and soviet union what's wrong with that i'm sure we have two hundred years under russia and we were able to put the parents in the unhappiness oh my good said she
9:08 pm
your point of view please keep this point if you really are why do you ask me and not skills or why so what i am asking otherwise because it's a real world idea it was history of our country our beloved country georgia so if you want to expels these pages of history from your mind off your history it means you are doing very well wrong think you know because if you are expelling your past if you demolished your past you will never have a future. but i felt angry because moscow had an opportunity and this protest peacefully. i feel very patriotic and i think that it was unfair that russia was there was making decisions for us and he doesn't recognize. that russia owes us an apology i think that russia owes us an apology for sending in troops a crackdown on people who did nothing wrong nothing wrong.
9:09 pm
u.t. and my parents lived through turbulent times followed b. and off soviet rule. georgia today is far from perfect but it has come a long way since one thousand nine hundred eighty nine and it seems inconceivable that people could still miss such a repressed and repressive past. in theory this occupation ended thirty years ago. in practice the occupation continues. i've never been here
9:10 pm
before and somehow nobody ever mentions this building and every time i traveled outside the city i saw you then i always wonder what it is. we tried to shut our minds to the existence of the soviet mournin some buildings but the reality is they still dominated our lives as there were meant to. be squashed on the hillsides of our towns and cities as if it waiting the return of their soviet masters. to give you the earring impression that our world is this temporary one and it is the soviet one that is permanent. but most of all it's the block's row after row street after street perhaps it seems strange if you have never lived in one but it is these
9:11 pm
blocks that have left the d.p. scar on me. this block was quite elaborate you know he's an expert on soviet architecture he has publicly supported the preservation of these buildings. quite spacious yanks better think. about it with the rest of your own needs color and. we're going operated in the right or. it was installed already in the nineties when the u.s.s.r. collapsed so there was no want to run them out of their methods of building. we were on the bridge. so. i grew up
9:12 pm
in one of the buildings that was built in the seventy's during the soviet union and i wrong that i'm dreaming about the time when this buildings will be demolished is it fair to say let's just raises this painful history. you know i don't think it's right and i don't think it's possible first of four buildings they are just buildings you know your room their buildings keep their memory of tragedy our monuments like concentration camps in germany are kept in order to be reminded you know about the history of government buildings and the monuments they seemed to inspire or did. they want to just scare people like are what the what did they want to do you know of course one of the means to show the power of the state has always been architecture it was always there mean to show
9:13 pm
your own people. they are small they are all the oh and they should be afraid of the state to tell your people that we are great. in georgia our monolithic architecture is not the only permanent reminder of the soviet union. the man who ruled in moscow from one nine hundred twenty four two thousand nine hundred fifty three was not the russian just most famous son. joseph stalin in. gori east on his hometown. it still celebrates his birthday and at its heart it hosts george just off shore style newseum. outside the museum his parents'
9:14 pm
home has been preserved so we can see his humble beginnings. when you enter you face styling and it makes you look up and admire him it's designed that way it makes you feel like he's great and he must be respected while most child you are least able to negotiate it off to it so i'm going to stop you from. bookies. well as deciding to rest up a room we're going to. find ever saw and some to remember on. a look something remarkable is iraq from the big. other least i can promise you he lives are that i bend it on brokaw and earlier. i thought maybe he was doomed to repeat crowborough stuck with the mugger and she'll be mine smoked by the really
9:15 pm
awkward because the children grab them by gram. you suck with cigarettes you ban and. there are butter cuts you consequence of virtue especially where you always want gram morality of minds relating it to say it's about ice moves only on a quest remember. gandhi did this to sharon i don't need can be a bus train reference so very brotherhood i pack they discuss the factory girl not about the sun valley i'm not altogether much but given what i want this i realize i used. to be cultured and oh i see how few minutes how it is so not silly reese daryn my toes are curved to go she roommates about graham partly a story or. opportunity in the peri when the pushy should be done its work or picking your own. you see. this ugly thing where.
9:16 pm
even if it's curator says it's not trying to do so the museum still seems to be glorifying started. it's ninety nine percent about the greatness of stalin and somewhere hidden is the one percent about how cruel he was and how many people he killed. they make you circle around his death mosque the same we do at funerals. they make you mourn him they make you take part in his death ritual. even this room like you come in and you feel that his presence like he feel here is dead and we should be sorry for it. i cannot help but feel how
9:17 pm
deeply scarred we are by our past we live in a country dominated by soviet more newmans and i const but we still try to ignore what really happened here unfortunately escaping your past is not that easy. travel often. by trying to use local forests broad local. office of only. comes. valleys and scotland's. live for adventure. discovery chops because faraway places closer to going to stay together with cats are always. history has called it the great in the fun to see the two sides fight themselves to

9:21 pm
states those are the headlines it's back to al-jazeera correspondent the soviet scar. if you look down on to police you will see a european capital. in sin city waltz and orthodox churches mingling with the glass and steel structures of a modern state. mother georgia looking out over her people sword for any means a cup of wine for her friends. the reality is very different georgia had the misfortune to sit at the axis of empires and we
9:22 pm
were seldom strong enough to resist our powerful neighbors. for the last two hundred years these invaders have come from the north first the russian empire and then the soviet one. behind these ones grandfather sod's the soviet terror operatives snow and as the cheka began. few georgians want to engage with this history and it is slowly being raised by indifference and decay. solve that is an organization that is trying to preserve these sites or at least document them before they disappear you know is a check oh yes it's a mango and from here or toss a prisoner stressed out and and so there was a interrogation and also there was
9:23 pm
a space and there was this fresh prawn completely dark and without them but on which was. face for say torture is the blood this time was nine twenty four in august the entire so it uprising started and soviet authorities charts a protocol prison there says every ranch in all of georgia yes i'm going for. their son was killed during say swan week twenty eight total guests street of september eleventh which. were. the song we are now in the basement of said it's a. prison cell it was a place for as a known lost or char sometime killing off and would be like us who provides from
9:24 pm
the us on us yes it's time and place on thought i think it's origin not on when the first time meant this room war was screen and on say world you can find say inscriptions of say prisoners or we're sitting here in ninety twenties and ninety's . and two people actually know now what the story of this building generally our society absolute think doesn't. kind of thing that. i think we actively avoid dealing with our past. this has always been the mindset of my parents' generation. they were born into and soviet union which was against people asking questions and curiosity go to into trouble. even though the u.s.s.r.
9:25 pm
collapsed their mindset hasn't changed. in two thousand and four the ministry of the interior opened the checker and k.g.b. files to the public. but neither my parents nor my grandfather have come here to find out what happened to his grandfather in one nine hundred thirty seven. like so many georgians their anxiety is that someone they knew perhaps even a family member might have been involved. call him as a sign that it's like they were that agreement but. that is only such a machine to those you don't need me to sort through. the
9:26 pm
documents are all in russian and. you don't know this. is the engineering mogul it's not all everyone has. done the same day. which. we just found a document so my father's great grandfather. was in the u. so hussein son was a sentence on the twenty six october nineteenth thirty seven. band he was executed on the twenty nine seventy seventy something people he was executed as number thirty one. and. he was executed but to me but my grand father thought that he was actually taken to tbilisi for execution so they have no idea what happened but it doesn't say why he was killed what it did do
9:27 pm
to deserve death. well now we are going to have a bigger document that says like the has all the details about his case. now you're felicitous most of them did local media so. your. commute to. he was accused of plotting. the song protest an action against the government but good cheer don't tie gun nuts in the. shooting. scot see your vote a little color should. be tryna be so. lucky. to live almost. forty years. done this in this year one thousand nine hundred thirty thousand cuts
9:28 pm
then thousand people were executed by the soviet interior ministry so they are very busy killing people. that's why they called this period great terror period of great terror. it has been eighteen years since my grandfather's grandfather was killed but i think that finding the truth still matters i feel it helps us to understand why and how we were controlled as a country. heavily the comment that was sort of a kind of. oh really and it was a chance for the challenger. in order to move. to cuba it's really. it really shouted at all one at bottom. but. the more general issue of true mother on the tardy side is from
9:29 pm
people who want the addy. i don't talk. about i'm not oh so cool like you know it all people like i was a chapter about survival don't follow me todo that. important. how to look without medical all this. but i live in a god that really don't want to miss. what it was the only thing you got was your arm all over the house or something. but a palm tree as it was a cold was the body of. a girl who then i showed her the horrors. that ensued. the time or evil.
9:30 pm
and there but oh. well. i mean those are. also. i feel it weight has been lifted for my family we have taken back our memory from the soviets but there are parts of the soviet legacy that i fear will never be within our control in august two thousand and eight i was traveling from tbilisi when all of a sudden carse came to a standstill. when we started to see the georgian military rushing in the same direction as on its own was like what could be happening it was so scary we turned on the radio and found out that war broke out on the border with russia the russian tanks were rolling from the south the said directly way region
9:31 pm
to tbilisi they were on the edge off invading the capital of georgia. the toasts unbelievable. russia claim to be supporting south a certain independence but coincide with georgia holding a vote on joining nato a clear challenge to russian power. this is one of the villages that is closest to. the divide between south so said georgia proper i feel that i have to be very cautious because i have heard many stories. of people being picked up by the russian military just because to go too close to the barbed wires . i just like of all the other georgians the thing. said tex part
9:32 pm
of our country so is a little strange. being kept out of your territory. south said to cross into georgia but very few georgians beat the way at least film territory. reduces from the glory tommy love. so he said that he needs. the approval of his boss to lead us through for security reasons and the car is going to escort us to and from so that we're safe. the feeling that you get is some mix off anger and fear that you're approaching a hostile place but it's actually your own country. there
9:33 pm
are writers. i was only allowed a couple of minutes at the border and your presence here soon draws attention. to weeks after the war russia recognized south a certain independence. twenty percent of our land was occupied annexed by russia. barbed wire started appearing in villages that border their breakaway regions the villages split into the residents about how this house might be related if a person dies on the other side these residents have to spend weeks to get permits and go over there. so it makes people's lives very difficult.
9:34 pm
controlled by the soviet union controlled by russia are for me indistinguishable. the order still come from moscow. in georgia we may have freed ourselves from soviet troops but we seem incapable of freeing ourselves from the soviet mindset. perhaps this is because the. it's infiltrated our georgian identity so completely. this memorial the chronicle of georgia just outside to be d.c. depicts heroic moments from our long history. emotionally as a georgian our i am still caught up in the power of its imagery. but
9:35 pm
it is to mourn human sanctioned by the soviet state. it was built to make us believe we were free when we were not. sometimes you have to look elsewhere for answers to your own problems there is another country that was ruled from moscow and at the same time had to come to terms with its own troubled past. berlin was the capital of germany during the rule off one of the twentieth century's other murderous totalitarian movements the nats. of germany's defeat
9:36 pm
in one thousand nine hundred five pretty soon were split in half at the brandenburg gate. east germany was never officially a soviet state but it took its orders from moscow and brilliance bombed out streets where an ideal setting for stalin to express his architectural drawings. the soviets did not scar germany in quite the same way as they did my country but the nazis did. some of their buildings have been preserved but the symbols have been almost entirely erased. in east berlin the air ministry became the headquarters of the soviet military and then the east german state. this was because where we moved
9:37 pm
they were soon replaced with another form of iconography. for me as a former soviet subject this seems like swapping one tyranny for another. but this is not the prevailing view in germany. you. this soviet occupation is few differently here i would say that in germany we have that college self-respect so we are still using even buildings from the nazi time so from the intellects a point of view if you reach this point that you can divides the building its construction and its design from the content and its political ideas you can find a new function for the building but you should somehow documents its history i want to those people who like feel angry ex buildings do you think that young people
9:38 pm
here would agree with you. you know the young to the youngest generation. called them the wall is something which is an experience of the parents of the grandparents so it's quite far away with the should be aware that the socialist time was a time of repressions and today we might use those ridiculous from the nazi time off from the from the socialist time to educate the young generation to show them what kind of freedom they can live today. germany has shown that these painful memories of the past need to be acknowledged. the holocaust memorial sits in the heart of burning and leaves the visitor in no doubt as to what happened here. the generation responsible for the war
9:39 pm
have all but disappeared. germany still remembers the terrible price of under strain nationalism. i wonder if this is the lesson that can only be learned to defeat. soviet berlin small symbolic structure was the wall built in one thousand. sixty one in response to mass defections from east germany when the wall fell and fiction was preserved and artists from east and west where commissioned to painted the stadium. to be of the muslim and most school based artist was one of them. because i still like a stylish good personal read. apollo's new book the new exhibit still boardrooms in bruges is the church where you do not probably like me personally but that my
9:40 pm
meeting will follow the way you should abortion whether you made the. many russians like irina moved to germany after one thousand nine hundred eighty nine. there are no clear figures but if you estimated that over a million became germs. at to us to roil. this was the same as to say you will not want to deal with the nuance of. my outlook and your chin had a shot then you would. not. be stupid she would be the most the dumbest of them to decide who would she would just go in there with this in the middle of the deal if it was then when the train.
9:41 pm
was turned. to the car the spears was just over the knee of the gun with. a group we didn't use in the budget you know but just this is the. one who was it was it ever since triple dollars. brushwood for the first time in that there's a part of the goose you know on those balls that you. move. through. the. it in us attitude both to the wall and to the soviet union are for me those of the colonizers. the soviet union never stopped trying to sell itself as a union of but it never was. berlin is home to many hundreds of thousands of russians. every year on the ninth
9:42 pm
of may they come to trump tower park in berlin to celebrate soviet victory day. after two thousand and three we stopped celebrating the ninth me and i'm very happy about it because it was not georgia swore it was a war that georgia second france a lot for but we would not be in this war if we were not occupied by the soviet union. overhearing their conversations and the things they're saying to their children is suggesting that for them this is more than liberating germans they're making it seem like it's russia's stick to. this is for them an opportunity to express their imperialistic dreams. they're still dreaming about
9:43 pm
a time when russia was so powerful that it could come all the way to berlin. the most uncomfortable thing for me is to witness the bikers known as the ninth wolves. they stand for everything i think should be condemned the occupation in ukraine the annexation of crimea and the continued occupation of georgia and seeing them celebrate. victory day was like they were promoting the imperial ideals of her russia. i feel that the victorious atmosphere that was there was distasteful for me it's like dancing on the grave of an enemy you killed like but it's really not necessary and i'm really happy that the georgia flag is not here it's just the russian flag and soviet flags. how do we deal with the
9:44 pm
scars of far past we cannot erase them i accept that but i don't think you should celebrate them either. finding out about what really happened to my family has helped my grandpa my parents and me. but watching the russian triumphalism here today makes me realize how unlikely it is that my country will ever be truly free. and without that freedom it's hard for me to see how our scarse can ever fade. a rite of passage preserved through the generations my cousin was laying down there

9:50 pm
headquarters and the television station were hit overnight at the same time almost four hundred rockets have been fired by palestinian factions from gaza into israel around one hundred of them were intercepted or the rocket attacks killed one palestinian man living in israel while several israelis were injured and the u.n. secretary general is urging all sides to exercise restraint this all began on sunday after a covert israeli operation into gaza killed a hamas commander and seven other palestinians and israeli soldier was also killed at the time we have two correspondents following the latest on this story we have a me that she'll join us from west jerusalem in a moment but first to terry fawcett he's live in that's on the israeli gaza border we're hearing israeli strikes have resumed terry into gaza what are you seeing.
9:51 pm
that's right that's what we're being told by our producer inside gaza that yes in the last few minutes there has been another. round of israeli strikes just east of battle here in northern gaza no injuries or casualties reported in that strike however during the more than four hours that we've been here it has been pretty quiet a bit of a lull in the activities that we've been seeing since around this time yesterday was probably about four forty pm it's just after four pm here local time now on monday that this all began with those hundreds of rockets starting to be launched out of gaza and the israeli air strikes in response as you say one person killed on the israeli side of the border fence in ashkelon a man from the occupied west bank from hebron and inside gaza six people killed at least five of them confirmed to have been from the armed palestinian groups
9:52 pm
inside gaza three of them from the p f l p the palestinian sorry the popular front for the liberation of palestine and from islamic jihad the sixth has not so far been claimed by any of the fighting groups and as far as the palestinian factions inside gaza as well as hamas go do we know what their next steps are going to be are they just waiting to see what comes out of the israeli security cabinet meeting still going on right now. well certainly they are threatening further action if israel continues what they call its military escalation continue what they say is targeting civilian areas certainly the air strikes that we've seen this time from the israelis have not been limited to the kind of largely empty military bases training bases on the fringes of populated areas that we've seen already this year they have been striking people in striking targets rather in built up areas such as
9:53 pm
the al aqsa t.v. stations such as the hamas. headquarters however so far as i say at least five of the six fatalities have been confirmed to be not civilians rather members of the armed groups the armed groups themselves are saying that if israel continues this then they will extend the range of their own rocket launches and they will extend the targets further inside israel as well so really we wait to see what the next move will be from the israelis as you say this security cabinet meeting is still ongoing all right let's find out then harry for the time being thank you for that to have me they will join us for was jerusalem so what are we hearing from that cabinet meeting is that this is this isn't time for and that's unusual. well we are hearing nothing from inside that cabin meeting but. it's entering its six hour and i think that in itself is an indication
9:54 pm
to some very tough conversations going on in that cabinet meeting and probably some very tough decisions are going to be taken now what decisions i think that's what everybody is waiting to see just have to bear in mind apparently too that we are we are hearing conflicting reports on this mediation going on by id egyptians there were earlier reports earlier in the day quoting an israeli official saying that those have actually stopped at the moment that was shortly afterwards denied now there are reports that haven't been confirmed yet by the israeli government that and the egyptian delegation security delegation might be heading here and to gaza on wednesday that has been just media reports a development and we haven't been able to get any kind of confirmation but i think all of that is happening right now there must be a lot of telephone messages going back and forth and also within the

cabinet you have two camps you have those who have been advocating for war not just now but in the past throughout the year it been several escalation and deescalation so and then you have those who have been trying to advocate for a different path and certainly prime minister netanyahu as well as of lately at least has been saying that a war would be unnecessary he did this overture he allowed that injection of cash into the gaza strip just last week he he also did stand up to mahmoud abbas the palestinian president telling him that if he didn't pay the salaries to. then israel will have to deal with that. chooser you do have these two schools of thoughts within the cabinet and also i think the main question i have for it israelis is what would that bring ok days aboard is an
9:56 pm
escalation what happens next well what will happen next is probably what happened in the past that both sides will then again have to resume these in direct talks to try to find some sort of long term arrangement right thank you. mohamad is a columnist and political analyst he says this could be an important moment in the future of the blockade of gaza. the fact that the situation is so fresh and any. attack might result in civilian casualties and the israeli side of the receiving side might take both sides. but i think this is collision game at a critical moment i think both sides needed this is collision to go ahead for a new era i think both sides have realized after a series of wars that the military operations the wars are not the solution they
9:57 pm
need to have a different approach and finally the reach and the standings over. a period of calm and gaza during which. allows for the fear stan may be to have qatari money funneled to have. to have to give some space for somebody like solution for the blockade. turkish media is reporting the so-called saudi hit squad brought numerous items with them to carry out the murder of jon corzine well this report comes from the turkish newspaper the daily. yeah this following this story joining us from istanbul what more do we know about these reports and what the so-called hit squad brought in with them to istanbul. well the reason the turkish authorities have decided to leak more information that they have of this team that
9:58 pm
came this time they are x. ray images or some of the extreme images of the luggage which the fifteen man saudi hit squad took with them or at least pos through the airports ports in istanbul in those images if we can pull them up you'll see that it shows some of the syringes some of the. tools apparently used in order to drugged and killed even tamper with the mobile communications in the vicinity of the embassy behind me so they brought in jamming equipment as well they obviously have stopped sort of maybe showing what's many are looking for recording the smoking gun so to speak or at least what is meant to have been the main tool the main weapon that was used to maybe not necessarily kill dramatically but to dismember his body namely the bones so however the fact that these images of just been released now would continue to
9:59 pm
prove the theory that the turkish authorities obviously have a lot of this information have a lot of this evidence of trolls and however to release it timely it is. difficult to believe that they have just realized that these images existed in the airport security hard drives obviously this is something that's going on for more than a month however. the turks continue to say that they are trying to push for a diplomatic solution for a way out of this by seeking justice by the saudis going off to the person who did it by the saudis admitting who ordered it by the saudis essentially putting on trial those who have done it however whenever they feel like this obvious on corporate corporates and all of the international community isn't pressuring them they release some more of that information and these pictures are the latest and it's so how much further than it is there are no one willing to go with the strategy and also we saw that he said that he had recently discussed the customs and killing with other world leaders including trump and merkel and to michael.
