market mind can find out what's really happening to the global economy for a no holds barred look at the global financial headline news good cause a report on our. russia marks victory day as the grand parade prepares to kick off in the capital we look back at some of the historic battles of the second world war and the modern day efforts to make sure they're not forgotten. second thoughts there's public anger in denmark the country's involvement in libya and conflicts saying it's being done for the wrong reasons and that's too high a price plus the iraqi people have wanted to stay out and we'd stay here for their own good that's not democracy democratic the age of america's actions in the middle east are distorted by its continued presence in iraq despite promises.

costing life from moscow you're watching l.t. russia is marking victory day sixty six years since nazi germany was defeated well want to or you can watch it all unfold head on r.t. the last national coverage throughout the day. for the defense of commemoration and celebration are taking place across the country including a series of traditional military parades. and scenes from russia's far eastern section of our us units from different russian regiments are taking part in combat vehicles from the water air roads from the city's streets and only veterans and the joe public are able to watch from a specially created stance. war claimed the lives of around twenty seven million people across the city and we're going to any other country

involved in that suv asian that saw towns and cities plight of people subjected to conditions. reports. including one hundred fifty kilometers southwest of moscow the city an important strategic point in the german both as it tends to conquer the great patriotic war. it was hell i felt my command of the world everything was on fire exploding all around trees were on fire. house was burning. terrible people running around. down hard for me to look back at the time. just eleven years old when the germans invaded the witnessed first hand nazi preach against civilians. i remember the reader.

find family he had someone who either judge promised to reship. the barber also jurisdiction decree nazi soldiers were exempted from prosecution if they committed a crime against the savior people were encouraged in the murders of the jewish and slavic civilians his war of annihilation and his instructions based on racial ideology were carried out with devastating subversion the monks the archives. a thousands of documents detailing some of the atrocities carried out by german occupiers against the citizens we've heard some harrowing accounts from children whose parents have been killed we also found an advertisement that went up in the city the german soldiers said that they think that telephone lines were cut by one of the citizens and for that twenty people are going to be killed now they wouldn't

have known he was guilty but it says at the bottom here anything so let's try it again but the punishment would be even worse. during the occupation thousands of children were rounded up like cattle sent west to work in the german labor camps. we will never know hold by a was just by our numbers for each barrack or surrounded with barbed wire with great yellow sand around it they would throw its horns in the sand the children were reach out for those nice looking tourers and be electrocuted there were also taken blood from the children to use for the treatment of german officers nazi propaganda films praised the friendship showing locals and germans working hand in hand those who were that who witnessed the reality respond incredulously and grouped together women and children from nearby villages they were pushed into basements and such on fire a lot of people died that way but in response to the terror many citizens took up

arms and engaged in the real warfare against the invaders beyond the limits of the german advance so he said since made realized to conform extraordinary efforts to drive out the enemy russia i remember it's clear isn't it was yesterday when our troops and to the city some were just eighteen nineteen year old boys in white fur coats in a white camouflage guns it was cooled minus forty degrees and they walked on christmas you know with their cheeks and they were smiling and looking like angels . but not secret tallahassee will eventually priests self-defeating creating an attitude of hatred and stubborn resistance among the conquered people a young girl shot behind german lines writes to her father in the red army their blood thirsty monsters you can't even call them human killed them papa killed the enemy. r.t. police region. because one of the bloodiest battles in the history of humankind

starting drug remains a guy worked for great courage and great sacrifice and soviet soldiers who died fighting the nazis so martin has been meeting the people who are trying to make sure that the sacrifice is never forgotten. today the city is called volgograd but sixty eight years ago it was called starling grat and it was the scene of one of the largest battles in military history and even today its left its mark spoke physical and spiritual on the city here and its population and it's that thing that i've been examining in my report. right back from the past this old soviet light tankers lay under the mud for sixty eight years it proved to me to stop the nazi invaders reaching the city of stunning. drivers called the mass grave with its own of a sloth in it could be pierced by machine gun bullets it was part of the soviet towns which by all to nine hundred forty two were desperately trying to protect

stalin sixty from a vast axis offensive he also was an eighteen year old cadet as the germans closed in he was read stalin's infamous order not to retreat one step back whatever the cost. you know first combat we were bones in our offices and were killed that was our baptism of fire. over the next six months the bomb and determination of soviet soldiers saved the city and trapped the invading germans and circle and which destroyed hitler's biggest army. since that great victory much as changed stalin grab changed its name to volgograd the soviet union itself collapsed and those who remember the battle and now all. but when it comes to monument holding back make sure there was a moment was sexist or some way of us name yes we're going out you have to be careful here this is the most dangerous part of what serious we could be inside

a military bunker a metal and concrete certainly make it look like one issue but we emerged to a panoramic view with the city of volgograd stop at least we just popped down to the head of the city's iconic mother russia statue in some ways the statue was a metaphor for the war itself. a rough and ready construction as practical as the soviet soldiers who fought here a strength as defiant as the soviet army clung to the banks of the volga and size as vast as the battle that raged around here there are many more reminders of pound which are a lot less stylized and a lot more of these soldiers were buried in solemn ceremony a lie where they fell unseen. these teams of volunteers have been researching and excavating the battle site for years but also. close relatives of soldiers are getting very old themselves the documents which triangle decompose we don't dig

them up the quicker we do that the better for both the historians and the soldiers relatives that. they want to try and record the human stories of the stolen ground battle which claimed as many as two million lives many generals say the war isn't over until the law is applied in the arnold that's the mojo of every church group so they reconcile or enough bullets and bones left but even his grandchildren find the terror and tragedy of these ultimate sacrifice has yet to be revealed this vehicle is one of the more concrete reminders of what happened here sixty eight years ago but what they really digging up isn't just metal and gunpowder it's memories tom watson r.c. oh god reaching for the perception of the soviet contribution to world war two this isn't russia that's a western countries you know interview coming up later today professor jeffrey roberts from first to college cork on an discusses how much of what happened is misunderstood. i think probably in the case of the united states it's probably more

ignorance of the general picture of the war than there is in other countries so if you're all those other countries in the war in iraq strikes down elsewhere not doesn't just in the war on this very complex in britain the as you say the holy water is ocean of war because the n.c.a.a.'s of it was the americans the wonderful now having said that of course united states to play a very important role in the world was the sort of union's nineteen supporter main supply list i was so i know people say that they should recognize our country's role as well i think of course the russian contribution the saudi contribution to the world. in the u.k. many had to flee their homes to state will not see them aren't. met one part of human lost childhood a trip down memory lane for seventy nine year old james roffey it was the street where he was born and where his family lived until war breakouts frightened and

forced to evacuate to the countryside. when his life changed forever and we were sent to school every morning with. prototype with. enough sandwiches and things to last you for the day. and that was it i don't need to get to school. today he said. until one day what i didn't say that we went to school. different started. with hundreds of others including a sister and brother he walked from school to his local station their parents weren't allowed to walk with them parents were issued with a list of the things that their children could take with them when they were

evacuated they all had a little suitcase like this and in it they were only allowed to put a spare pair of shoes for inside the house some toiletries a toothbrush comb a handkerchief and a towel they also had to take their own cutlery and a plate and a mug with them they also took their clothes charmers and of course a change of underwear. and with a label tied around their neck and the ubiquitous gas mask they made their journey into the unknown neither they nor their parents knew where they were going they had a stamped postcard to send when they got there to let their parents know they were safe with james that stays with paul brown a village of around two thousand people near the south coast here and in other reception areas villagers were legally required to take the children in although some were far from welcoming. not told the door and the woman.

turned out for yet another fierce woman. we. got. a knock a second car and. put his foot in the door. pushed us in. said you gotta try it would really rather drive off it was an unhappy but short lived placement and james and start living happily here in what was then a sweet shop his four year evacuation became a positive experience but that wasn't the case for everyone some of these people were not very nice to these children some of them had their own agenda which is just another person to work the farm or work. i want to work in the bakery and some of these people were very cruel according to some of the evacuees often it was such a wrench that the children couldn't stand it when he went home to london and accounted for one in every ten deaths during the blitz schools were closed and they

ran wild those who stayed were terribly homesick but when they did get home they felt there was little to come back for the most evacuees if they really aren't. quite himself to sleep well and separate. side of i showed me right. back to the only. look at that is where bombs fall in the house and. there are. a lot about four. james finished school in london but never settled after the war he moved back to pull as soon as he could evacuation changed not only the lives of the children but also the communities they

went to pull it back he weighs a directed a plaque at the local church thanking the villages to taking the main it dates tap families apart but it also brought people who would never ordinarily have met to gather in a city hall for to rub shoulders with rural affluence and vice versa and the deep schooled stream of those times still remain today in the memories of people kindness and shelter far from home in war time nor am it our t.v. pool where the six. hour table be bringing you reports from the victory day celebrations all day remembering all those who fought and died in world war two and of course stay with us for full coverage of the military parade from red square. to other news now in libya nato jets have attacked a government of weapons just southwest of the capital tripoli and came as forces

north america don't think the worst of the wave of attacks on health care is across the country fierce fighting has been reported in the city of misrata the last rebel stronghold of the western part of the opposition there says it's critically they want food and supplies ones of imminent military in crisis despite its almost daily bombing runs tensional jets on unable to break down the port city and those are reports some they turned asians are finding it hard to justify the cost of the campaign. for those who joined the fight in libya the cost of conflict is quickly taking off denmark's one of just six nato members conducting air strikes to enforce the no fly zone it's six f. sixteen fighter planes are racking up a hefty bill of thirteen and a half million dollars a month we were anticipating a number that was considered their work and that we aren't that many nation that is using fighter planes. let's take us for example they're using grown ups to have had

tomahawk missiles but i don't have any other means a lot and that means that the british are friends and also the danged i've actually had so many sources that we work perhaps anticipating when we started your bridge with denmark drugs one hundred twenty six precision bombs in the first fortnight of the campaign each one costs on average fifty thousand dollars on top of that there's one point six million a month to station the jets in sicily along with one hundred thirty personnel that this rate denmark's annual cost will be one hundred seventeen million dollars four percent of its defense budget the danish air force refuses to comment on money saying it's too political a topic that parliament says it can afford it nevertheless it's disappointed others aren't putting their money where their mouth eats. well i think there is quite

a few people who are excited as a point about obama and gratian because. president obama has said that he wants to promote you know human rights and there is a violation of human rights in libya right now these people have come to the american embassy to show their opposition to the war it's not just the conflict they're protesting against it's also denmark's willingness to follow the u.s. into battle. they do this because. i don't know some people say they have an inferiority complex and they follow big daddy and now the united states and france works as war in guess they could have it so they go along junior partner the danish parliament was unanimous in backing and bombing campaign in libya in the first time ever on a military action but since then cracks have appeared with the far left red green alliance with during that support it says nato has gone beyond its mandate by

taking sides in a civil war now the party is denmark could follow suit again with a ground offensive looming and i think it's likely because the prime minister wants to be a strong man is precedes this upcoming election. and also that this is the policy of the current government to be as close with the us as possible at the moment the government's against sending ground forces six f. sixteen s already costing the same as denmark's troop deployment in afghanistan and they've been there for ten years but as afghanistan kosovo and iraq who showed when push comes to shove their countries more than willing to join america whichever the cost are bennett artsy copenhagen. or publicly u.s. backing for the pro-democracy uprisings in middle east of them consists of a statement saying that all must attend the future behind the scenes though it's one that knowledge there's

a lot more interference as i reports washington's desire to promote its audiology sometimes at least unexpected results. she is the country clothed in stars and stripes that's arised with the nobel peace prize winning president pioneering the big d. around the world let us be clear the united states of america stands with the people of tunisia and supports the democratic aspirations of all people from tunisia. to egypt to libya. washington has said they will look at people must determine the fate of their country. but in iraq where america claims to be transplanting democracy a renewed sense of nationalism has united thousands against the us we're not supporting the democratic aspirations of people in iraq we haven't been for it for eight years now and mean the racket people have wanted us out and we've stayed

there for their own good that's not democracy. anger over us occupation dates back to the president george w. bush upon his exit in two thousand and eight washington drafted in agreement promising all american troops would withdraw from iraq by the end of this here in today's more peaceful iraq critics say the pentagon is stepping up pressure to overstate its welcome and cement its push right. is pushing for a military presence after the summer two thousand and eleven around twenty two thousand troops while the white house is talking about ten thousand troops so actually there isn't a grieving there's tacit agreement that he was will stay in iraq forty seven thousand u.s. troops still remain in iraq where america's embassy looms large and control over iraq's oil sector is perceived to be ultimate truth the problems in this eight year war at the very least in order to deny china or any other perceived intentional

rival control of valuable resources the idea. ingrained in the thinking of these new stress. washington d.c. we're still very much in our eye is that we lost control in the middle east close to where the power comes from experts say the u.s. oh so much to remain in the region to keep an eye on syria and contain iraq and do the develop in syria go to the extent but there is a fall of the regime we don't know what kind of regime or maybe that will be brought us really maybe it will be something even worse you cannot withdraw at this juncture you cannot leave the vacuum iran will just take advantage of it that's from the perception of american interest meanwhile the perception of america's democracy remains somewhat distorted has it been used as a tool to achieve the geo political gains in financial interests who are all washington in the end listening to the voice of the people or enough what ny r.t.
