auschwitz survivors the event is being hosted by the polish president understood. the expected guests today include the german president from falta steinmeyer and israeli president reuben rivlin as well as representatives from over 50 countries. well it was on this day in 1945 that soviet troops liberated auschwitz and its prisoners germany's the nazis established a camp in occupied poland in 1940 it was their largest and most deadliest in total some $1300000.00 people were deported to auschwitz now most of them were jews from

across europe nearly all of them were killed with the nazis using gas chambers to do so others were also sent to auschwitz roma and sinti polish political prisoners gays christian pastors catholic priests and jehovah's witnesses as the world remembers the holocaust the few remaining survivors of auschwitz have been gathering there ahead of the commemorations for many of them this may be the last time they return. sawyer's. with the help of her grandchildren jeanette she go has made to difficult journey back to auschwitz. the 96 year old was deported to here from vienna a juror in the wall and not only did she survive life in this notorious camp but she also survived the death march when the nazis fled auschwitz at the end of

the war taking some of their prisoners with them. the monsters one raid. and then 3 and looking over the russians are very close friends who. run all the laws and everything the few. need those somebody in dread to step over the bed because if you couldn't much that was soothing you. david language originate from poland also survived auschwitz here in this to be true she can never forget what he saw and heard the hearing of that there were sirens there night and i said to the people that were there before the strike. and and they said they're. making raising their camp as to what kind of raise he says they're sifting through do able bodied from day one since they consider not be able

bodied anymore and should be able to not be able bodied are being born to become a tory or not and eliminate the able bodied their love the syrian the camp and take them to work and i said. oh my god this is how do they do it is there a list is there a preference or. how does the school know about no it's everything very random anybody can just be selected to go through all this i mean minutes and oh my god i said i can't sit in this place. but 70. 5 years after the liberation of auschwitz these memories on dying out. anti semitism though when you went that is still very much alive. for simply on to say. did not. to have to be. true. to their view of correspondent hans broad joins us now in the studio good morning to yachts 75 years after auschwitz what can we expect at today's ceremonies well

there will be dozens of heads of state and government from across europe and the world attending this sort of ceremony today i think what all of them like you to emphasize is the need to find anti semitism in the world in europe in germany that is continuing today and rising again in fact because amongst others of the rise of the far right wing political parties across the world and also in europe also here in germany who opened the door to and just simply take sentiment also the internet is a place where such sentiment is much easier much much more easily expressed sense much more much more difficult to prosecute and i think we need to talk about islamic history extremism as well which also has an element of anti-semitism in it so those warnings will be issued today but in essence it's a ceremony in memory of those hundreds of thousands who were murdered in this place

and in honor of a couple of 100 survivors who will be there today it is very much today about the survivors isn't it hans let's take a look now at the story of one of the few remaining survivors here is the story of the v. living at home in his one bedroom apartment in berlin god living lives here alone his wife has moved to a nursing home he's one of the last remaining auschwitz survive us his parents and siblings were murdered there of a 75 years ago. that's me that's my brother and another brother and my sister. the 94 year old was born in warsaw to a jewish family during the nazis reign of terror he was sent to 4 different concentration camps. i give all the question why. i can't answer that today. i can't even think about it why. why

a 9 year old girl who hadn't done anything who hadn't sinned why did they murder why. all 4 sons again she hadn't done anything in life only because she had a different tree. it was 19 when auschwitz was liberated. while there he was forced to work in the gas chambers as a slave labor of the german company that produced the deadly gas. i worked down in the gas chambers we collected the cycling gas. you just turn into stone you know what i mean. the horror is hard to comprehend for many years it has returned to auschwitz at the end of january.

this day is an anniversary for me it's an anniversary of duff. this year is no different krakow airport every year the custodians of auschwitz bring survivors together on the anniversary marking the liberation of the german extermination camp. but the interest this year is higher than usual. the press contingent for the 75th anniversary is huge the hits a listen to the last living witnesses and their stories of the hell that was our schmidt's. dog and one day i found out that my brother was shot. to this day i still don't know why. and i can never get over the. story and we can't go on. i'll start

crying if i. start crying. i can't continue. it. it has to cut his talk show what it's like he can still feel the beatings today he tells us 75 years after the liberation of the auschwitz concentration camp. unser fears that the memory of the holocaust with all its many lessons will fade for future generations as as the last survivors passed away. he was indeed most of these people are well into their eighty's many of them by over 90 years old it's not very likely that they are going to survive for very much longer and bear witness to what they themselves experienced most of these people were children them to time or young adults and the question is of course. how do you keep this memory

alive the german government is doing a lot in terms of education wants to increase the amount of education that children schoolchildren in germany are given on the holocaust at the same time there are people in germany in a right wing parties that maintain that the nazi era was insignificant compared to the whole of german history and to try and counter this kind of don playing of the importance of this of this historic. legacy in germany that's what's central to attempts to keep this memory alive the german president frank 5 time i recently said for just a couple of days ago when you have to shame that's the main holocaust memorial in israel and you rooster them. said that for germany this is part of. a toss for the german states to support jewish people to support the state of

israel to foster jewish life and i presume that when he is speaking in auschwitz today he will repeat that pledge will be looking for it's that speech today hans thanks very much for bringing us up to date. and we'll have special coverage marking 75 years since the liberation of auschwitz throughout the day here on the w. . let's get your brief down some of the other stories making the news the dutch prime minister mark rutte to has apologized for his country's role during the holocaust saying it did too little to protect its jewish citizens from nazi persecution he is the 1st dutch premier to make such an apology some 100000 jews from the netherlands were killed by the nazis. every democratic senators in the u.s. have renewed their demands for testimony from former national security advisor john bolton in the impeachment trial of president trump a leak from bolton soon to be released book reportedly confirms that trump wanted

know about the crash so far or right now it was a horrific crash and the conditions were very foggy in southern california in the morning and when the helicopter took off it was a routine trip for koby koby used to take helicopters to the staples center when he was playing from his home in orange county about 40 miles away so this was nothing out of the ordinary but what we do know right now is that the plane or the helicopter hit the hillside and then burst into flames and the wreckage is still smoldering as we speak right now as far as what exactly happened what caused the helicopter to go down that is yet to be determined for the government is now on you know a full investigation ok you mentioned it was very unusual for kobe due to travel by helicopter where was he going with his teenage daughter on this particular flight.

so this morning he was going to is academy is a basketball camp if you will the giants are still in the northern los angeles county and he was hosting the tournaments so basketball teams from all across the country where there is daughter was going to play in the tournament today is team was. against a few other teams that. colby his daughter and then a few other coaches and their kids got it it's a relic up there and they perished as well. alina this death the death of kobe bryant has been marked around the world what what made him such a giant sport i mean i myself i'm still in a sense of like to still a sense of disbelief because i sat here in 2016 when he retired and i didn't expect for his mate i would be talking about his tragic death and he was an inspiration to a lot of kids a lot of new generations he made a lot of kids you know pick up a basketball and there's a lot of players and

a lot of kids who you know still always wanted to emulate his playing style and he had a very odd journey as well he's one of the few players that went straight from high school to the n.b.a. so he didn't even go through college and his achievements i just sold it on i mean i don't even know where to begin he was an exceptional leader he won 5 n.b.a. championships he was twice the most valuable player he won 2 in a big gold medals and he really was a giant of the game he was a clutch player he was able to finish a game i as a try to wrap this fan i remember willie well in 2006 when kobe bryant single handedly scored 81 points against a tron raptors that's the 2nd highest ever in n.b.a. history and this is what colby was he brought people to their feet and he did and he did that as well at last night's grammy awards where were singer. paid tribute to him let's listen to that. and so.

to say. he had. nothing cold and. jason we have some of the response there in the united states right now how else has america been responding to the loss of one of its great sports legends well people are flocking to downtown los angeles and which the grammy is being held at staples center elisi he's actually said where we're sitting in the house that colby built and i got choked up when she said that you

know kobe and i had the same age and i watched him grow up and then as the 17 year old kid watching somebody your age hit the n.b.a. court it was it was amazing at the time and people are are going on social media and posting pictures of when they met him and they're running to staples center to to. greet with other fans and just say you know we're here for you colby and were your thoughts and prayers are our thoughts and prayers are your for you. alina for all those people out there we're seeing grieving right now how do you think kobe bryant's going to be remembered including by young people and young athletes i think it was really he had specific characteristics about him that made him so special and that was he had a never give up attitude he had a very strong work ethic that ethic and those. characteristics that it applies to

all walks of life and you know he really did transcend the game he was a cultural icon a fashion icon and you didn't even have to be a basketball fan in order to know him kobe for example he also like to write he wrote children's books on basketball he won an oscar for an animated short film that he produced and he mentored a lot of n.b.a. players later in life and of course who can for get also colby had has so many famous quotes and i'm going to leave you with one it's a very motivational quote and it sums up his competitive spirit you have to keep moving smile just keep on rolling a limb thank you very much limo talk to you in the studio and jason company a for us and b c news radio in los angeles thanks very much thank you. last year remembering kobe bryant a 2020 grammys in los angeles took up their business the 18 year old pop sensation billie eilish and her producer brother phineas sweeping those awards the siblings

increasing number of infected people medical personnel are working night and day doctors from across china have been sent to will han where the virus 1st broke out the quarantine city feels like a ghost town it's mayor issued an urgent warning. when you get you through which is it because of the spring festival and the epidemic about 5000000 people have already left the city 9000000 are still here it's the duty of the party and the government to guarantee their survival. mobile phone videos are appearing on chinese social media showing long lines in hospitals such videos are immediately deleted by the country's censors. but the government is striving to give the appearance of transparency. we're not sure yet about possible mutations to the disease. progression of the epidemic has not been fully grasped in libya one

of. these mobile phone videos from beijing west railway station appeared to show large crowds of people trying to leave the city with rumors circulating that it may soon be placed under quarantine ok let's get the latest now from beijing and journalist fabienne crutch more good day to you fabienne you know we have some 60000000 people on lockdown right now in exclusion zones how long as i going to last how are they coping. well i mean they are. they try to stay indoors as much as possible and when they go home. when they leave the house it's only hope i. think you face a surprise at all but it's not a normal situation it's a yeah situation and there are lots of running right now that cannot conform with beijing. i don't think so but what we have seen today this

really interesting additional measures then. have been extended by 3 days it's the 1st time in the history of modern china that this happened and the reason is the government wants people from traveling again because right now more than 100 possibly more than 200. in chinese i was if you know relatives visiting their families mostly in the countryside and of course in the coming days they are . expected to travel back to their homes which is almost in the big city in the east coast and of course this is a very dangerous the virus threat especially since you know that the virus is contagious also treat the patient period so many people might be spreading the virus without even knowing that they are in fact that don't show any symptoms yet ok fobbing thanks so much for that from beijing we'll have more on the story of course as it develops. there's

some but it's like a soccer now and hoffenheim bounced into the winner's circle after 3 consecutive losses with a win away at braman on sunday was a real battle the opening strike suited the overall tone of that match a goal scramble finish with a remarkable own goal being scored by veta's david clawson the the replay there will not be easy viewing for the midfielder and neither was the final result for his team's argus at ami on scoring the final goal of deflected shot that sealed home fans misery as hoffenheim won 3 no. ok look now at the bonus league a table shows a title fight that suddenly heating up live 6 a lead at the top is cut to one point with byron munich right on their heels flawed barker a point behind in 3rd head of dortmund with just 4 points separating those top 4 clubs now looking at the bottom half continue to surpass expectations while clone mines and better braman are all struggling to stay clear of the relegation zone.
