yet had any wish to back down from the job we have to do. the research so much that i would like to be able to tell you. nearly all of which you've heard many many times but just to say that i mean it even more today. please give my fondest love to my. god bless and keep you safe for me and it began with operation overlord a massive naval operation to ferry american british canadian and other allied forces across the english channel to the french coast and i draw means the largest sort of its kind in the history of modern warfare some 7 pounds in ships and landing craft headed for a 50 mile stretch off the french coast and the code names of those landing beaches are etched in history utah gold juno and sword and today's commemorations

didn't begin in france though but at the english naval base of portsmouth from where d.-day veterans are to depart on a ship for france also imports look that is our correspondent shot of parts who has come covering those commemoration ceremonies for us tell us what's been happening this so far to mark the day. yes it was here in. force of the thousands of soldiers who were leaving in 44 you can see the hava behind me and this is where the ships were departing from normandy this is also where this commemoration ceremony just took place with 16 leaders there on stage reliving and re-enacting that memory of the day and keeping that memory a life with musical performances the world leaders read poems a diary entries from soldiers in parts of very emotional events and there's also

something that concrete that came out of this event a d.-day proclamation from those world leaders to ensure that those horrific events never be repeated again and that conflict should be resolved peacefully and that lots of the ceremonies the queen is that 16 world leaders up there but the maybe heroes really the veterans some of them also attending the commemoration. absolutely 300 veterans that attended the ceremony here they are all over 90 years old of course now and they were really at the center stage of the ceremony it was all surrounding them honoring them the queen the queen address them and her speech she said i am part of that war generation and i know the sacrifices you have made for us to live

in freedom so very emotional there and those meeting with world leaders with the queen it must be a very interesting experience for them at that age and those veterans will be departing on a ship tonight from this harbor to normandy where those events will continue to take place those come in moderation. events will continue tomorrow so much of symbolism and so much of history shall we continue our conversation let's take a look at the events of 75 years ago and at some of the day's legacy. at 1st glance it's hard to see any sign of the horrors that the stretch of sand played host to. but 75 years ago on june 6th the fate of an entire continent rested on the soldiers who came ashore here on omaha beach. operation overlord saw a combined force of nearly 160000 american british and canadian troops land on the

beaches of normandy. to gain a foothold in nazi occupied france came at a heavy price. on d.-day and in the weeks afterwards claimed the lives of tens of thousands of allied soldiers. but their sacrifice hastened the defeat of hitler's 3rd reich. commemorating the fallen became an important ritual for the victorious allied powers a reminder that they fought on the side of right in a just war. the germans also suffered heavy casualties but it wasn't until 2004 that france invited a german chancellor to take part in the engle commemorations. what was once viewed in germany as a calamitous defeat is now seen as marking the start of the long road to peace and liberation. the successful invasion completely changed europe for the best they brought us democracy we lost the war.

we've had 70 years of peace here. all the people lying in the cemeteries there. this is what goes through my head when i visit them on d.-day. all those people died for us so that we could live in peace. when france and germany 1st commemorated the invasion of normandy together it was seen by observers as a sign of keeping near a pain unity in the face of strained transatlantic ties. and faced with threats. of european unity continues to be put to the test 75 years after the events of d.-day. were telling not a shot of bullets one shot of german chancellor angela merkel is also attending the ceremonies explain to us the significance of the symbolism of having a german chancellor at these commemorations. yeah of course emerita

huge significance behind that it wasn't until 2004 we just heard that. in these events of course huge significance there and also this day is just it was a key event. that really changed the course of history and created a new world. order. and peace created. nations and the european union and these institutions and values have now come under pressure by president but also for example by the british decision to leave the european union so it's interesting to see these were. coming together in a peaceful way 75 years after those nations. covering

the commemoration ceremonies in portsmouth in southern england thank you very much . let's take a look at some other stories making news around the bond did mark is voting in a general election leading the polls on the opposition social democrats led by a metaphysics and you just saw casting her ballot now the pot is likely return to power comes after it adopted the hardline stance of right wing parties on the issue of immigration denmark's socialist party is also expected to see a surge in support. australian police have raided the headquarters of public broadcasting a.b.c. in sydney executive said the search targeted 3 journalists involved in a 2017 investigative report on the alleged killing of civilians by australian special forces it's just a 2nd high profile probe into a news organization in 24 hours and comes to sponsor a crackdown on sensitive leagues. doctors in sudan say the number of people killed

in a crackdown on pro-democracy protests camp has increased to at least 60 this comes as sudan's opposition rejected a plan by the country's military rulers to hold elections within 9 months opposition leaders are calling for a campaign of civil disobedience to force the army to hand over power. muslims around the world have been celebrating the factor which marks the end of the holy month of ramadan in the indian capital delhi thousands gathered to pray at the country's largest mosque. the china of either it depends on the sighting of the new moon and varies from country to country. not to the czech capital of prague where tens of thousands of protesters filled the streets on tuesday demanding the resignation of prime minister on dish bobbish it was not the country's biggest political demonstrations since the fall of communism in the

country bomba she is a multi billionaire who's vowed to stay in power. despite allegations he illegally profited from eve subsidies in his own private business dealings of the was among the students against a billionaire. you losman are has been mobilizing big crowds for weeks. this evening more than 100000 came out to demonstrate against. obama some of it we were afraid that the czech republic could become more like hungary or poland a powerful oligarch conquers state institutions and puts them to his own use and if someone wants to call on him to resign he can't because he'll go to jail that's good openings hope and that there's a what is it isn't. for the czech prime minister these demonstrations are a political campaign andrea babbage is the owner of agra fair told ing now when

a blind trust at least in theory the company isn't just involved in agriculture bobbish also owns major newspapers critics including the ngo transparency international say he has too much power her. he's a huge industrialist and at the same time he's prime minister and owns media interests he gets huge amounts of public money from e.u. funds and national subsidies he's sucking up all this public money that's a level of power that even bella scorning in italy never experienced in his best years and you know if he thought even if he were. the e.u. commission is halting subsidies on baddish companies according to a policeman area imports that accuses him of conflicts of interest now parliament has raised the issue as well but bobbish is firmly in control of his party and his coalition partners the social democrats bobbish says the report is baseless. and

how the divots of this report is extremely questionable i consider it as an attack on the czech republic and attack on czech interests as a destabilization of the country this is. this the believe the. demonstrators say they won't quit as long as bad as is in power. but his supporters don't care the economy is humming along and they don't want the e.u. telling them what to do. at me now i'm a girl in addition yashica he's a journalist in prague and the chief commentator for t.v. is there's now welcome to come to this more about by mr bobbsey and why people there are so angry with him i think basically we are talking about 3 reasons number one is the dark chapter and prime minister. namely his collaboration with communist secret police than and that was also mentioned in

your story there are claims of. claiming subsidies for his private he was stalking ists farm there are still criminal investigations going on in the czech republic and and then we have you know the fresh 3rd reason which is a preliminary report by audiences of the european commission claiming that is in a gross conflict of interest where he actually asked former finance minister currently prime minister is involved in this issue in making procedures where his private business i got a phone holding beneficiary we are talking in prague about the largest political demonstrations since 1989 but we have to admit that progress east a certain bubble and that outside of prague there is a completely different czech republic where actually mr bobbish is not the you by a vast majority of people in such a critical way so given that do you think

a bomb bush really cares about these protests because i don't party and must fast in the last month european elections obviously he still has considerable political support. that's correct and he does not feel any pressure from his own party we are literally talking about a movement which is solely dependent on the chairman so there is no pressure from that site need the strong so far junior coalition of the social democrats but it seems according to his reactions that he is actually increasingly nervous and the size of protests is getting bigger even though there is also a significant and i think movement on social media platforms in the czech republic so he is not definitely taking these demonstrations lightly but he adopted a kind of victory by this defense saying that this is an organized campaign not

only against him against the whole czech republic and this is the kind of strategy that you don't get. a good journalist and commentator from prague thank you very much for that assessment thank you. chinese president xi jinping is meeting president vladimir putin in moscow the 2 leaders have met dozens of times in recent years and are looking to fully to deepen trade ties between the nations today's talks take on an extra urgency amidst china's heated to trade war with the united states in an interview with a russian state media ahead of the trip she called putting his best and bosom friend saying he cherished a deep friendship need to be a smear jack so rich has this report feel. friendships must be cultivated to that end china bestowed an honorary doctorate on russia's president

last month at a press conference for the event vladimir putin praised the 2 countries relationship to finish the skipper china is by any measure a strategic partner so we biggest trade turnover is with china get to last year trade between the 2 countries rose 27 percent to $107000000000.00 russia sells china raw materials while china sends back machinery transport and consumer goods to increase trade the 2 are investing in new transport links like this cross border bridge over the river it's set to open for traffic next year. in france we've long said that we need to build more infrastructure. right now to from the countries with a long shared border can't trade normally because they lack the proper infrastructure to go it is mistaken about offering it's up is pushing for russia

and we could both presidents have promised to remedy that they've met dozens of times in recent years and the kremlin says they have good personal chemistry as well. presidency's visit to st petersburg has been in the works for a long time. yet china and russia support each other to. a massive clearly against and say globalization protectionism and unilateralism this fully reflects the high level and special nature of the 2 countries strategic partnership and heard. both russia and china are permanent members of the united nations security council where they often block resolutions from western countries especially relating to syria and venezuela about other key part of the russian chinese relationship is increasing military coordination russian t.v. news recently showed joint military exercises 3000 chinese soldiers joined hundreds of thousands of russian troops on maneuvers last year on the low chinese numbers

a sign that the russians don't completely trust them yet oh. we don't intend to become dependent on china that's why we're developing relationships with japan korea as the countries and india russia's asia policy is more than just a china policy but if. the russian foreign policy is based on pragmatism and can be easily adjusted depending on which way the wind blows. the most senior catholic cleric found guilty of child sex abuse has launched an appeal against his conviction 77 year old cardinal george pell in australia is asking an appeals court to overturn his conviction for molesting 2 quiet boys in a cathedral in the 1990 s. pay was convicted by a court of the state of victoria last december and is serving a 6 year sentence in a male been prison. on your car fund right you may not give us this update about

what happened in court today but heard from up those legal teams and what exactly they're appealing or the lawyer propelled brett walker says that the guilty verdict handed down and this year were on reasonable and out the part of the appeal rests on questions approachability but he said that among the reasons that fell should not have been found guilty was that the claim the call the abuse of the the the child abuse happened while the then us pusher was in full road the argue that it would have been physically impossible to pull his rhodes aside to give it what he describes as this allegedly atrocious act it was a pointed out that the victim's claims were impossible given the pearl was reportedly greeting parishioners at the entrance to the theater at the time he said it was credible evidence that the fellow was at the western doors of the factory

it's cathedral in melbourne which was some distance from the sacristy where the alleged offenses were supposed to have taken place there are other grounds of a bill to one of the logs that the judge should have allowed a video reconstruction of where everybody was in the cathedral at that tion and that the video reconstruction should have been played to the jury and finally the the the the pillars of lawyer argues that tell was not properly arraigned in other words he was not given the opportunity to plead not guilty before the trial before the jury at the beginning of the trial. that was jealous of me dr sidney news from the world of fullerton fief oz president of johnnie infantino has been reelected for 4 years more he was the only candidate in front tina's 1st i'm so dramatic reforms introduced the game they included the controversial video assistant referee system on the future expansion of the watch comp from $32.00 to

$48.00 teens and $55.00 revenues rose to a record $6400000000.00 us dollars nost yeah. i did talk more about johnny in fun tina's reelection i'm joined now by. sports desk welcome tom went on 15 i was door to need to get a set block down the idea was that he would read fifo off corruption has he done that well i mean. sepp blatter left the institution in a lot just repeat there were f.b.i. investigators you know swimming around that was a real time of disarray for free for. like you say infantino came in saying he was going to clean up the game get rid of corruption increase transparency obviously the elections in which only one candidate stands don't tend to be the most transparent. the montel yani who is the president of concord coffee association of north american football associations was almost exactly that question yesterday

whether or not he thought it might not have been a bit healthier for somebody to contest the election against him time to not his answer. was not as an institution it's not good he said to have elections every 4 or 5 years for an institution like richard any to consider violence in the immodesty with institutional stability so i think you can see. some of the priorities of a lot of these delegates then why is it in fun to you know so popular with the fine delegates well i mean it does bear mentioning of course they it's not been that rosy for him fans you know he has butted heads with you a felon in occasions over the club world cup over the global nations league he's faced plenty of criticism. the issue of transparency not least when he basically sacked the chief of the ethics committee in 2017 he has of course been reelected they're obviously happy enough to let him go through you know take the example of mung target on me again north america will host the world cup in 2026 there are going to be 48 teams like you mentioned robin 32 at that tournament that means

increased revenues. and by that measure which continues to be a crucial one the game continues to grow. revenues are an all time high we're going to have a lot more and that's enough to keep smiles on time if i says and the future if you cannot and for an infant you know it was a 1st if you fall under his control as the new fee for us of what can we expect for him from him in the next 4 yes i think certainly probably the crucial thing is going to be a bit more of an involvement in the club or previously fief as revenues have been very closely tied to the world cup we've seen now with the establishment of a new club world cup competition a new global nations league this is. basically the example of the club or cup of course trying to expand its revenue streams i think in times you know is a busy man he gets a lot of things done very ambitious is certainly probably one of their visits a busy time busy time and lots of revenues but he's also been getting told we're going to have him be the obvious votes this thank you very much the french of what
