forces landed in normandy and began to retake europe from nazi germany their plane stage a spectacular fly passed over the city and naval base of portsmouth thousands of troops set sail from there for normandy on june the 1st 1944 representatives of 16 nations joined queen elizabeth of britain at the ceremony among them french president in modern mccraw and german chancellor angela merkel u.s. president donald trump read a prayer originally delivered by franklin roosevelt but the real stars of the day were the veterans of the campaign some $300.00 taking part in the commemorations. and britain's prime minister to resign it also took to the stage to read a letter from an army captain to his family written just 2 days before the normandy landings although i would give anything to be back with you. i have not yet had any wish to back down from the job we have to do.

there is 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 and my jamie. god bless and keep you safe for me. british prime minister to resume their the day 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 it remains the largest a sort of its kind in the history of modern warfare almost 7000 ships and landing craft headed for a 50 mile stretch off the french coast the code names of the landing beaches are

etched in history utah omaha gold juno and sword today's commemorations but didn't begin in france but at the english naval base of portsmouth from where d.-day veterans are to depart on a ship for france german chancellor angela merkel also attend the ceremonies there here's what she said. in the military it was a unique military operation unprecedented for us in germany it led also met lead to liberation from national socialism it claimed an unbelievable number of lives hundreds of thousands of soldiers were involved a huge logistical operation. and it was to lead to something that we can be very proud of today namely reconciliation and unity within europe and the whole post-war order that has brought us peace in europe now for more than 7 decades. and the fact that i as

a german chancellor can be part of this today that today we are working together for peace and freedom that is a gift of history that we need to protect and maintain. the german chancellor in portsmouth also in portland is a correspondent a band of riga meant he had what chance to anglo american had to say there give us a sense of how significant and how important it is symbolically to have a german chancellor attending these commemoration ceremonies. but this is a strong symbol for the fact that 75 years after the persian overlord judgment he is of course a part of the international community it's no longer an enemy it's part of the free burled and it's part of the alliance of the rest of the boat which is now the standing together very strong and this is also the message from both missives if you want the 16 heads of state and government that was assembled he had signed

a declaration that said that they will fight together for freedom and independence and always remember what happened 75 years ago and they as you said they look so well it is there including the queen is also there but the real cameras off the day today are really the veterans who are taking part in the celebrations. given for example john jenkins a 99 year old veteran of walked on the stage the audience was on its feet including the queen also the 93 year old queen stood up for mr jenkins to honor the veterans and she also said the board generation is resilient and look at it myself i'm also he she didn't and she hopes to see many more of these people in the years to come so as the queen of these veterans and she thanked them on behalf of her country but also on behalf of the free vote just she just said

thank you and people have a cheering and applauding but lots of symbolism lots of history that event before we continue our conversation and let's take a look at the events of 75 years ago that the legacy of d.-day. 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. gaining a foothold in nazi occupied france came at a heavy price. the fighting 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 deepening european unity in the face of strained transatlantic times. and faced with threats both foreign and domestic the band of european unity continues to be put to the test 75 years after the events of d.-day. and are turning out to a bench again who was at what's left when to give the sense of 75 years later this anniversary is still being celebrated in such a big way why is it so relevant to a relevant in today's context. but it is of course a reassurance of the airlines that stood together 75 years ago it's also a symbol for the transatlantic ties and you have to say that on the trunk the u.s. president behaved badly he didn't say anything which might have caused tension or something of that he didn't talk about nato he didn't talk about the money he wants

from from the troops he was very resilient here and very big concerts already so this is also a symbol that this alliance still works and it's also important from time to time to remember the fact that the free countries have to stand together dr bentley getting both commemorations celebrations are going on for d.-day thank you very much. let me about now being up to date with some other stories making news around the world doctors in sudan say 40 bodies have been pulled from the nile in the capital khartoum bringing the number of people killed in a crackdown on pro-democracy protests can't do at least $100.00 sudan's opposition has rejected a plan by the country's military rulers to hold elections and has refused their latest invitation to talks. in australia the most senior catholic cleric found guilty of child sex abuse has launched an appeal against his conviction 77 year old

cardinal george pell is asking an appeals court to overturn his conviction for molesting 2 choir boys in the 1990 s. . was sentenced to 6 years in prison in march. muslims around the world have been celebrating 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 timing of it it depends on the sighting of the new moon and it varies from country to country. now 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 bobbish is a multi billionaire who is valid to stay on and bar despite allegations he illegally profited from e.u.

subsidies in his private business dealings. of the money students against a billionaire. make you last minnaar has been mobilizing big crowds for weeks i think this evening more than 100000 came out to demonstrate against babbage. obama some wasn't it we're afraid that the czech republic could become more like hungary oh 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 but there's more as it isn't. true 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 which. is a huge industrialist stand 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 below scorning in italy never experienced in his best years on an amnio if he thought even if he hopes he had. the e.u. commission is halting subsidies on bad issues companies according to a policeman area reports the queues this hymn of conflicts of interest now parliament has raised the issue as well that bobbish is firmly in control of his party and his coalition partners the social democrats bobbish says the report is baseless. that now 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. the.

demonstrators say they won't quit as long as bobbish 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. if we now draw in addition your schick he's a journalist in prague and chief commentator for t.v. welcome to you 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 doc trapped and prime minister. namely his collaboration with communist secret police then and that was also mentioned in your story there are claims. that lee claiming subsidies for his private he was stalking this song 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 the audit this commission claiming that under the bobbish is in the group's called the sleep of interest where he actually asked former finance minister currently try minister instead of and there's also a significant and i think movement on social media platforms in the trying his best and booze and fan think he cherished a deep friendship did obvious mere dots reports. 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 but the skipper china is by any measure a strategic partner so we biggest trade turnover is with china skipper

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 when we don't know gordon my post in for as we've long said that we need to build more infrastructure. right now 2 friendly countries with a long shared border can't trade normally because they lack the proper infrastructure. was very weak and 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. the presidential visit to st petersburg has been in the works for a long time. yet china and russia support each other diplomatically

against and say globalization protectionism and unilateralism this fully reflects the high level and special nature of the 2 countries strategic partnership. 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. other key part of the russian chinese relationship is increasing military coordination russian t.v. news recently showed joint military exercises $3000.00 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. that russian foreign policy is based on pragmatism and can be easily adjusted depending on which way the wind blows. yes or no one has 14 feet 1st president johnny in frontino has been reelected for 4 more yes' he was the only candidate in frontino the 1st time for dramatic reforms introduced to the game included the controversial video assistant. retiring system and the future expansion of the what up from $32.00 to $48.00 teams and fee for revenues rose to a record $6400000000.00 us dollars. i don't look at my journey in front you know as reelection i'm joined now by john goodnight from sports says welcome tom went on 15 i was going to need to 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 they were f.b.i. investigates as you know swimming around that was a real time of disarray for free for. unlucky say inventin no 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. some one time jani who's the president of the association of north american football associations was also 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 says to have elections every 4 or 5 years for an institution like they need to consider violence in democracy with institutional stability so i think you can see. some of the priorities of a lot of these delegates there then why is it in frontin are so popular with 55

delegates well i mean it does bear mention 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 over 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 side yani again north america will host the world cup in 2026 there are going to be $48.00 to. you mentioned rob 32 at that tournament that means increased revenues. and by that measure which continues to be a crucial one the game continues to grow you know these revenues are an all time high we're going to hear that a lot more and that's enough to keep smiles on faces and beefy tell me if you cannot hear and been in front you know it was your 1st if you fall under his control as the new fee for us of what can we expect 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 club football previously fifi's 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 beef but to clean the example of the club world 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 and he probably wanted to visit a busy time busy time and lots of revenues but he's also been getting told we're going to have to meet up the splits this thank you very much. for a change let's now turn to the fascinating well of the mundine and the humdrum the drab and the dull at the annual boring conference that took place in the british capital recently did you use agent and it was then discovered how subjects that normally might appear trivial what it is can be given a new lease of life. conway hole is a famous home of radical fringe thinkers in the heart of blue mystery the boring

conference is taking place here for the 9th time. founder james ward is master of ceremonies and a veritable titan of tedium. in my name is james ward and i need found to bring conference a one day celebration of the mundane people nary the obvious and there phillips the theme is boring but the content should be focused incorporate for example right sure weili is fascinated by the greenwich time signal free. might bates has a passion for postcards of nearby battersea park. joyce smith explains how she started collecting certificates. that's one. of the conferences sold out so who are these people and why are they wasting their weekend here. what's the big attraction here.

being bored of listening to people talking about things that they care way way to the play about a minute i enjoy science i enjoy competing and things like that the trivial the monday my straight the most boring thing is to lunch break there's quite a which is you thankfully over james tittering likes to walk in straight lines for his film underfoot he paused once a minute to take a 5 2nd shot off the ground. things are beginning to take her child. lizzie austin's paper on the smell of laundry is accompanied by a video of a washing machine cycle. and drive and dump a bit of participation odds how intense is it does it remind you james wood

has generously allowed me to take to the stage myself. or ring price most boring. at the boring conference. goes to joy smith could try. finding work only books it's difficult. at the end of the day i've gathered a lot of fun facts kind of person that i'm hoping you for a. thing i could be boring i think given enough practice because you could get that for you a boring person. is the boring. it's cool. it's not boring atoll here's a recap of the top story that we're following for you britain's queen elizabeth has joined. us president on her trunk to mark the 75th anniversary of
