hoping to make it big. i'm sara kelly welcome to the program in a ceremony marking the seventy fourth anniversary of the liberation of the auschwitz concentration camp germans germany's parliament has held a ceremony honoring the victims of the nazi regime the nazis murdered an estimated six million jews as well as hundreds of thousands of cinta and roma disabled people and homosexuals over a million people were killed in auschwitz alone and well thanks i've led the president of the german bundestag and holocaust survivor and historian saul friedlander spoke to lawmakers and guests. and watching that speech for us was our very own peter craven and i mean really an impactful commemoration that we saw this morning what stood out to you today what

sort of to me was there was an impressive individual soul fruitland there isn't but in his double role he's a historian on the one hand has an international reputation of course as a historian of the holocaust and the jews and he talks about of the gruesome details of the terrible numbers and of the facts and figures of what happened in the final solution and what people knew and what people didn't know that then he went on to his other oh he's knows the story and he's a survivor of the same time he told from a very personal details about how he was separated for example from his parents and i think is nine hundred forty two in vichy france he was he then survived the war in a french boarding school but they were then they were taken off to auschwitz and they were murdered and he asked the question what do we thinking we spent those last seconds together looking at each other knowing what was going to who were likely going to happen and it was very very moving to contemplate that and especially you know considering the backdrop against which he against which wolf was speaking

today i mean there's this is really a time of growing concern because anti-semitism is on the rise in europe and that is something that both of them addressed i just want to have a quick listen and then get your reaction there after. this regime it is a source of great shame to us that jews are once again thinking about emigrating from germany because they do not feel safe in our country because they are exposed to hostility even physical attacks because jewish children in schools are bullied. but it is not enough to experience a sense of shame. in addition to exerting the full power of. our resistance in every day life is especially needed. racism and discrimination of all kinds. of the. me this was. semitism is just one of the plagues that are now creeping into one nation after another.

us. the temptations of authoritarian government. growing nationalism on the rise everywhere in the world in disturbing ways. so. often for. smuggling. and we can see the lawmakers there sitting listening to what extent is what was just said there on their minds today. and that as a people we saw sitting there right at the front of the area of the parliament where the representatives of the alternative for germany elissa vital and alexander golland were sitting there and this is what immediately comes to mind for very many parliamentarians the fact that he is now represented in the german parliament and in all sixteen regional parliaments across the country there going to be three key

regional elections this year where he is expected to search so still further and there can be no doubt about it that have been anti semitic comments from within the ranks of the day in recent times and comments also when it comes to remembering the holocaust. there. i'm interested. many house become one of the strongest bastions against exactly the dangers i just talked about. we all hope that you retain the moral rectitude to stand for tolerance and inclusion. not empty on liberty and the future. are the words that you continue to fight for true democracy. and is that what we're hearing from the politicians it's interesting to hear so friedlander talking about germany being a change germany because people. say concerned about the future there is definitely

a rise in anti semitism globally as soul friedlander said around europe and in germany as well in germany very many jewish people say that the vast majority say that that in their personal lives on a day to day basis the number of anti semitic incidents in and attacks indeed has been on the rise there's great concern about that house of address that at this point in time especially know that the whole culture of remembrances is beginning to change because the generation who can give original personal testimony the generation of the survivors people like so friedland they're beginning to pass away significant numbers and that is a huge concern because how do you how do you go what's the next step in the culture of remembrance after that so what is being done right now in that or to prepare for that peter to prepare for the fact that you know the holocaust should never be forgotten. there's a lot of talk about addressing young people and their concerns but there's been a survey recently that suggested that as many as forty percent of young germans have practically no idea about what the holocaust stands for what really happened

and how would you address those young people it's been tried germany has tried very very hard indeed and been praised by israel and israelis and jewish commentators for this. addressing the very very darkest chapters of its history in the. ghouls and exchange visits taking young children to concentration comes but it all has to be done the there's a whole science to this about how you it's not just taking young children to concentration camps it's making it so allowing them to think and think for themselves and develop their own response to the challenges posed by these great crimes to really feel it it's unclear that they're craven from did the unions thank you so much for joining us. from now to some other news and us president donald trump has been reacting to protests across venezuela reiterating his backing for self-proclaimed interim president one quite oh from called fresh protests against incumbent president nicolas maduro

a fight for freedom that's has been doing over his film together with soldiers in the capital caracas both men have been vying for the loyalty of venezuela's armed forces the army is considered key to propping up windows hold on power but people across venezuela have been demanding that window step down they called on the armed forces to abandon the president and to allow humanitarian aid into the country. they can't take away our right to protest the spanish wayland's in the capital caracas chant they're referring to the government of president nicolas maduro. in tory is one of the protest is she's the wife of a prominent opposition leader who has been in jail for four years she told g.w. it was time for a new government. the. british. and her critics to this is why we are progressing here we wait for what

everybody together. in tory and many of these protesters are supporting pond why don't you proclaimed himself interim president last week the country's chief prosecutor has opened an investigation into his challenge for power. not underestimating the threat of jail and i don't want it to be understood like that very responsibly i say there is nothing new coming from a regime that doesn't answer the venezuelan people's needs their only response is repression and persecution venezuelan authorities are accusing him of helping foreign countries such as the u.s. to interfere in internal matters washington recognizes quite owes claim to venezuela on wednesday president donald trump phoned him to reach a rate his support. for his past president mature wrote try to convince americans that intervention would backfire on the. i call upon your conscience

a color palm your solidarity be aware of the truth we must not allow a second vietnam to happen this time in latin america if the us intervenes it will be worse for them than vietnam. according to a russian news agency material has offered to negotiate with the opposition in an attempt to regain support domestically. but talks are not what these protesters want. there from my goal was. to team on to scotland. last june. was. there watching news still to come of the program it has been called the biggest toilet building spree in the world but after five years in the indian government actually fulfilling its promise to install millions of working toilets.

coming up a little bit later in the program but first a check of some other stories making news around the world last ditch talks between the u.s. and russia to save key arms control treaty a key arms control treaty have failed the u.s. accuses russia of breaching the i.n.f. treaty on intermediate range missiles washington has warned that it will begin withdrawing from the treaty unless russia destroys a ground based missile system. the laser has a new king sultana dolla has ascended to the throne in the south east of the asian country nearly a month after his predecessors surprised up to cation souls and is also a prominent figure in sports federations including the council of fifa world soccer's governing body. and in china tens of thousands have begun flooding out of the capital beijing as the lunar new year holiday approaches at its height the pre-holiday travel rush is considered the world's biggest annual human migration encompassing tens of millions of people across china and east asia this year's

lunar new year holiday begins of february fourth. all as many as twelve people have died as a result of a deep freeze that is gripping the american midwest weather colder than our antarctica has grounded flights crippled infrastructure and brought life to a standstill for tens of millions of people the polar vortex is a mass of freezing air that nor. around the north pole in winter but has slips southwards into the u.s. . chicago the windy city no stranger to wicked winter weather but this week's lows haven't been this brutal in decades breathing can be painful even dangerous and that's not only the case in america's third largest city six u.s. states have recorded temperatures colder than antarctica weather stations across large parts of canada and the u.s. have register temperatures at minus thirty degrees celsius or more factor in the wind chill and it's more than minus fifty the culprit for the cold chaos

a massive subzero air called a polar vortex so named because it normally stays put around the north pole but this week it's humble people further south. this is the. sea the. three different layers on top of. this is. that really need to get here what you're trying to newton's of the to get to illustrate the effects of extreme cold a chicago based reporter through a couple of boiled water in the air. the water froze almost instantly and fell back down as snow. temperatures this far below freezing can also have drastic effects on people the homeless are at particular risk cities across the midwest have opened warming centers including police stations and roving buses for anyone seeking shelter from the cold the bone chilling weather has caused more than two thousand

flight cancellations school and office closures transit delays and multi-car pileups on slippery roads even the u.s. postal service unofficial motto takes pride in their work has halted mail delivery in many places the polar vortex looks to be lingering through the rest of the week only then might it release millions of people from its icy embrace. well now a member states want to ease u.s. sanctions against iran so germany france and britain created instax a pavan channel that will allow european companies to make legitimate transactions with iran the instrument will facilitate trade between the e.u. and iran as ordinary banks would be at risk penalties do just sanctions and if they are treated like a rock no other member states will be able to join this alliance. that's

going to. be a business so how exactly is this game supposed to function aaron well basically the insect system will allow european companies to do trade with iran by said it kind of a triangular trade system basically iran will be able to sell oil in other products to european companies and they are the money that they would actually be earning from there will be transferred directly to iran instead will be held in escrow by the. group and then if iran orders products from european companies instead of transferring that money from iran directly this insects ripple pay those european companies where their products and then they'll send them to iran basically allows them to circumvent the u.s. sanctions that were recently put back and it was going to be interesting to see how the united states indeed response to all of this because i mean now they know that they're trying to circumvent them but ultimately you know the founding nations what are they hoping to achieve here well i mean basically it is a message sent directly to donald trump and washington i mean the european powers have made no secret of it that they don't support the unilateral reintroduction of

sanctions that we saw earlier in the trumpet ministration they're trying to send a message to tehran to run saying look you know we've got your back we're standing on your side when it comes to this issue because at the end of the day we're only really talking about rather small amounts of products that can be sent back this is only really targeting agricultural goods and medicine this isn't the type of thing that could turn around the ill fated marine economy right now so more than anything else this is a message directed both at tehran you know that they want to support them and also at washington saying that they don't support the current policy of the trump administration fascinating stuff that's in its infancy so we'll see how it develops and thank you. now it's being called the biggest toilet building spree in the world but in twenty fourteen indian prime minister narendra modi launched his clean india campaign the aim to eliminate the widespread practice of people relieving themselves in the open in the countryside now five years later is the program working our india

correspondent sonia folly car visits a few villages in the northern state of pradesh to find out. it's a must to season it with the british the lush fields here harbor a dirty secret. has never had a toilet. she has to walk more than a kilometer every day to relieve us of the ritual fought with indignities andrus. many nights we have to carry a torch and the stick i come here with other women and young children we stand watch first because the children get scared there are wild animals in the fields sometimes there are men around it is scary it's safer to come in a group. these experienced is a chop odds with the government's much touted campaign to eliminate often difficult . signs warn of the health risks associated with the practice and urged people to
