ninth of may which this year marks the sixty sixth anniversary of the defeat of nazi germany and the victory in the great posho to war as these holidays are known in russia still thousands of troops marching right square here and a company has over one hundred pieces of military hide hardware the pride of russia's own forces some of the newest and most powerful weapons in the world we'll still saw in the end of the parade which last as an hour i am i a helicopter a semi of helicopters flying very low over the ground in a red chiles to see them flying over the sun troll be capital and it's not all people today of course military parades will be taking place elsewhere across the country all the cities of russia and in the evening traditional bywords will paint skies of different cities different colors of course the biggest was the biggest by woods preserves the moscow was the red square party will be bringing you live

pictures of those fireworks wars but being here on this day in red square you realize that six to six euro zone is the sekret by itself twenty six million people the lives of the soviet people and the tree in that war that is still resonating molavi that any and any gun salute my words to explain of course if they're holding in the first place the foliage of the world war two veterans and it's always very touching to see so many young people who came to run sports. they look just to see the full weight but just say thank you personally to those people and that's sort of put the focus on home close to the enemy came to moscow to stop down in his tracks. way to include go one hundred and fifty kilometers southwest of moscow the city an important strategic point in the german forces attempts to conquer most

scale in the great patriotic war. it was hell i felt my command of the world everything was on fire burning exploding all around trees were on fire or house was burning and the crushing noise was terrible people were running around their cue and their building has down it's hard for me to look back at the time. just eleven years old when the germans invaded miller witnessed firsthand not secrets hallet against civilians because. i remember the read our homes for every last bid they could find his family he had someone who either judge promised to reship. the barber also jurisdiction decree nazi soldiers were exempted from prosecution they committed a crime against the savior people and were encouraged in the murders of the jewish

and slavic civilians it is war of annihilation and his instructions based on racial ideology carried out with devastating severity monthly archives. of 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 and we also found an advertisement that went up in the city the german soldier 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 similar is tried 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 were never called by names just by our numbers each barrack was surrounded with barbed wire with great yellow sand around it they would throw

its horns in the sand the children would reach out for those nice looking tours 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 with that who witnessed the reality respond incredulously. together women and children from nearby villages they were pushed into the basement and then set on fire a lot of people died that way. but in response to the terror many citizens take up arms and engage in guerrilla warfare against the invaders beyond the limits of the german advance say he said since naval ised to conform extraordinary efforts to drive out the enemy nationalists and i remember it's clear isn't it was yesterday when our troopers and to the city some were just eighteen nineteen year old boys

they were wearing white true cousineau right camouflage guns it was cool to minus forty degrees and they worked on christmas you know with their cheeks and he was smiling and looking like angels. but not super tallahassee would eventually crease self-defeating creating an attitude of hate chase and stubborn resistance among the conquered people a young girl shot behind german lines writes to her father in the red on their blood thirsty monsters you can't even call them human kill them papa kill the enemy sarah. a clique a region. as it is the courage the cure and solve these battles and also the human cost of the world which declined the soviet union as a superpower and even today no other holiday feels russians with so much pride for their country was all it was not only that many cities of russia contributed to stop being the nazi wave but the city of stalin broad still remains the by word or

for the car example the great sacrifice of the soviet people that saw one of the bloodiest battles in the history of your. thirties dumbarton went to see those people or to take trying to make sure that they separate boys is never about. today this city is called volgograd but sixty eight years ago it was called stalin grad 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 its that female tribe in. examining in my report. dragged back from the past this old suv it like tankers lay under the mud for sixty eight years its roof to leak to stop the nazi invaders reaching the city of starting ground. drivers called the mass grave it's all of the stuff in it could be pierced by machine gun bullets it was part of the soviet army which by all to the one nine

hundred forty two were desperately trying to protect stalin city on volga from a vast axis offensive the author 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. in the first combat we were in our offices are were killed commute that was all about visible fire. over the next six months by train the nation of soviet soldiers saved the city and trapped the invading germans and encirclement which destroyed hitler's biggest army. since that great victory much as changed stalin grant changed its name to volgograd the soviet union itself collapsed and those who remember the battle and now all. but when it comes to monuments volgograd made sure the heroism of the moment was set in stone was made me a for going up but you have to be careful here this is the most dangerous yes we could

be inside a military bunker the metal and concrete certainly make it look like one issue but we emerged to a panoramic view of the city of volgograd stop at least we just popped out of the head of the city's iconic mother russia statue in some ways the statue is 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 size as vast as a black hole that raged around here for many more reminders of bound which are a lot. less stylized and a lot more poignant these soldiers weren't buried in solemn ceremony they lie where they fell and see. these teams of volunteers have been researching and excavating the battle site for years but also. because relatives of soldiers are getting very old themselves the documents were trying to compose we don't pick them up or we do

that if there are all of the story and they don't and that's what was around his life as a couple in which they want to try and record the human stories of the starling back which claimed as many as two million lives many generals say the war isn't over and by. that's the mojo of every very group so they reconciled are enough bullets and bones left for even his grandchildren to find the terror and tragedy of these ultimate sacrifice is yet to be revealed this miracle 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.t. the graduation and the perception of the soviet contribution to world war two differs in russian that the western countries now interview later today professor geoffrey roberts from the best college cork in ireland discusses how much of what happened this summer stood. i think probably in the case of the united states this

is probably more ignorant some of the general picture of the war than there is in other countries so for all those other countries in the war in the united states and elsewhere not doesn't just in the war on discrete be complex it britain about holding border of the war on presenting it as though it was the americans that that won the war now having said that of course united states did play a very important role in the world was the subhumans my name supports a main supply of the spot i was so i would people say that they should recognize our country's roles as well tickles the russian contribution the soviet contribution to the world well the sea is pictured a parade lost and for more than an hour both of record number of troops one hundred minutes of vehicles rode through red square a journey of ends with the aircraft flying overhead the state and now it's some of the huts.

well to some other news now in libya nato jets have attacked government weapons that protests southwest of the capital tripoli and came as forces loyal to moammar gadhafi most of wave of attacks on level held areas across the country this

fighting has been reported in the city of misrata the last several stronghold in the west position that says it's crazy they want food and supplies and. despite almost daily bombing runs coalition jets have been unable to break but there is some of the port city as artie's either and reports summoning to nations 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 their marks one of just six nato members conducting air strikes to enforce the no fly zone it six f. sixteen fighter planes are racking up a hefty bill of thirteen and a half million dollars a month we're anticipating a number that was considered and that we aren't that many nations that is you're saying if i don't like. let's take us for example they're using drones they have had a tomahawk missile but i don't have any pilot names and all that means that the british

air france and also the danged have actually had so many soldiers that we were perhaps it is a pain when we started your operation but the little denmark drugs one hundred twenty six percent bombs in the first fortnight of a campaign each one costs on average fifty thousand dollars on top of that is one point six million a month the station the jets in sicily along with one hundred thirty personnel at this rate denmark's annual cost will be one hundred seventy million dollars four percent of its defense budget the danish air force refuses to comment on the money saying it's too political a topic but 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 this point about obama and gratian because. president

obama has said that he wanted 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 though it's also denmark's willingness to follow the u.s. it's a battle. they do this because. i don't know some people say they have an inferiority complex and they follow big daddy and the united states and france wants this war against gadhafi so they go along their junior partners the danish parliament was unanimous in backing a bombing campaign in libya the first time ever on a military action but since then the cracks have appeared with the far left red green alliance withdrawing its support it says nato has gone beyond its mandate by taking sides in a civil war and now the party fears denmark could follow suit again with

a ground offensive looming i think it's rightly because the prime minister wants to be a strongman is precedes this upcoming election. and also that this is the policy of the current government to be as closely to us as possible at the moment the government's against sending ground forces six f. sixteen s are 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 showed when push comes to shove the countries more than willing to join america whatever the cost are bennett artsy copenhagen publicly u.s. backing for the pro-democracy uprisings in the middle east often consists of a statement saying that people must determine their own future behind the scenes though it's widely acknowledged there's a lot more interference but as a report now reports washington's desire to promote its ideology sometimes leads to

unexpected results. she is the country clothed in stars and stripes so i just arrived with a 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 to washington has said the will look at people must determine the fate of their country. but in iraq where america claims to be transplanting democracy are renewed sense of nationalism has united thousand against the us we're not supporting the democratic aspirations of people in iraq we haven't been for years now i mean iraqi people have wanted us out and we stayed there for their own good that's not democracy. anger over your

life ok she gave that credit for work you put a pint of milk into seventy washington drafted an agreement promising all american troops would withdraw from iraq by the end of this year in today's more peaceful iraq critics say the pentagon is stepping up pressure to overstay its welcome and cement its footprint the pentagon is pushing for a military presence after the summer to around twenty two thousand troops while the white house is talking about ten thousand troops so actually there is an agreement there is tacit agreement that the u.s. 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 holding a copy in this eight year war and to bury its he or she didn't i china or any other perceived intentional rival control all valuable resources that the idea.

grained in the thinking of these new york stress. washington d.c. we're still very much in our. role in the middle east. experts say the u.s. going through me in the region to keep an eye on syria and contain iran at the develop in syria go to the extent that there is and follow the regime we don't know what kind of regime or maybe it will be. us three 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 but 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 games and financial interests who are all washington in the end listening to the voice of the people growing up or not i r.t. new york got

a some other world news story this hour egypt's minister of justice says anyone threatening the country's security dealt with first it comes after hundred ninety people were detained for the deadly clashes between christians and muslims. of conservative muslims. after reports that a christian woman. was being held in clashes that left twelve people dead and more than two hundred thirty wounded with a dangerous since the ousting of former president was back. in syria thirteen army personnel killed in an ambush in the central city of homs officials say the attack was carried out by an armed terrorist group on sunday twelve civilians were possibly killed during clashes with the army in the same city since the outbreak of violence in the country eight hundred people have died with around eight thousand reported imprisoned missing. footage from inside

japan's badly damaged fukushima nuclear plant has been released because. since setting up a new cooling system following the installation of air purifiers that significantly reduced radiation levels at the facility is the first order stuff of unable to reach the reactor since march is both quake and tsunami was the worst nuclear crisis since the term. the u.s. is pressing pakistan to explain robyn gardner was able to hide there for almost seven years washington is also demanding access to his three widows believing they could leave valuable source of intelligence czar to his injury and mr explains talking to embark on could have been far more effective than trade against the u b l in pakistan. his vaguely demonstrate to what extent they u.s. foreign policy is driven by their political agenda not by then this says city that is dictated by counterterrorism there were two ways to deal with some

a bin laden when actionable intelligence were reported to the white house there were political way and special forces very special forces option was to snatch osama bin laden alive for the purpose of entering gating and recruiting him we have a follow up psychological and information operations and to condition osama bin laden to denounce all very terrorist activities and that could be the most important long term benefit of taking him alive instead of a multi for political action he authorized to waste osama bin laden in pakistan on the spot to reap off short term political benefits small wonder that this security intelligence community in the united states is saving we have anger and that's why

they form a national security adviser u.s. marine general james jones used to call the white house kibitzers the water box now you know why. are they back with headlines just a few minutes statements. question was that so much i was about to fail and was highlighting the commitment to give

a real commitment for what is happening to the entire war movement there are plenty of wars being fought though with far fewer protesters was the anti-war movement just. as my name is daniel smith this is joining us on the phone we're here to make a short presentation about the we can fix project. the first day in the fourth of the day if you can get information out about the real world. join him. on the matter the. secret to the because i'm going to be able to market to you. if i ever put in the sauce this engine here would hunt me down and kill me. this is exactly one of the reasons why we left the project because it has become more about this all james bond. then all the actual information.

but thank you. so all the people around the mole. like me. the price of freedom from the most fascist regime in history. those who fought to win the war stand. against the tide of history being rewritten. sixty six years of victory on r g. a cluster mission. and inside the container you have many many small bombs and you can have anywhere from dozens up to hundreds of them there's a huge market right now for battle area clearance because there are

a lot of countries in the world that are contaminated by unexploded ordinance. once you've got these companies and n.g.o.s that have basically shrunk that have an expertise to get rid of these weapons what are you as they go to these places they will hire local train the locals how to do the clearance they'll let the locals basically take ownership because you know they have a vested interest in clearing their homes and they're putting themselves at risk every single day i think you out there to clear areas of this weapon. a. whole. lot.
