during world war two specifically the legislation prohibits references to wartime nazi death camps in the country as being polish and those in violation of the law face up to three years behind bars and since being passed in february the law has met with a backlash in particular from israel and the united states why the polish government has seen fit to come up with this legislation for beating people to have an opinion about the guilt of the polish nation it is bad for governments to try and regulate culture and history and literature. why no one can understand what why they would like to have some control over the narrative but it is all in all the bad practice the history of no matter whether they are polish or foreign should be the guides there and this should be.

the standard everywhere in every museum or memorial and this claim that guides should only be natives. is really keats against foreigners it has nothing to do with some effort to make the the museum better informed are still to come here on the program on t.v. meddling in elections the us has slapped venezuela with a new round of sanctions and has denounced its upcoming election as a sham details on much more after the break. but. they put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. i want to be rich. into going to be

pros that's what before three of the more people. i'm interested in the water. here like. i believe facebook's market share is increasing despite all the blue ha ha concerning its surveillance technology that they sell high is better including foreign governments but yet the multi-trillion dollar market top of these companies is a testament to the nature of the plot for the platform this now superseded the nation state facebook's got two billion users that's bigger than china so it's the biggest kind of entity there is in the world or has ever been in the world probably ever be in the.

it is going to join us today thousands in new york of taken part in a so-called immortal regiment march commemorating those who perished in world war two but for two of the participants it was a special occasion to look to the future as well. thank you so you. are god it was well. it was. well for the happy couple rob and trisha the immortal regiment march is actually what united them are being taken part in the event for ten years while trisha has been helping him with his separated historical research they were both inspired by the heroic deeds of soviet soldiers over the hundred ninety third rifle division re-enactment group and we caught up with the couple who told us more about what brought them together.

i wanted to be really something memorable it was an important event something that tricia and i really think is very important to participate in i was the next question that what happened was just completely caught me off guard it was great because you know given sadism are just something that we both feel very strongly about it's definitely something that will live on forever. when we go to what's called a living history event where regular people will come out to our shows and a lot of them well ask me why i'm portraying the bad guys of the war and then i have to explain to them how the soviet union was not an axis powers in world war two so what this tells me is that most people here today don't remember they were never taught their history that the soviet union was not an enemy in the world war

two and not until it was the ending of the cold yours are two nations become rivals . i pray for women and world war two and russia that fought and that's just not something that you know here that's actually how i ended up getting into the hobby because i found out that over eight hundred thousand women fought and it wasn't just you know working in factories tanker crews snipers they were everywhere and it helps to be able to kind of bring that light and help somebody realize you know there's more to the story than what and what we know it helps kind of educate and give you other ways to kind of you everything that happens to stay tuned for a special coverage of the victory day celebrations and about twenty four hours on done some a mocking of the stepping down of us or with the soviet victory of nazi germany and the great patriotic war. more.

i could have you to join us today the u.s. is mounting pressure on venezuela where a presidential election is looming washington has sanctioned three venezuelans and twenty companies said to have ties to president nicolas maduro accusing them of narcotics trafficking activity as u.s. vice president mike pence called for other nations to increase pressure on

venezuela you also slammed the country's upcoming election as illegitimate. the so-called elections in venezuela scheduled for may twentieth. will be nothing more the for on an issue there will be no real election in venezuela on may twentieth and the world knows that it will be as they commission we think out while the u.s. has been called on venezuela to delay its presidential election since february saying there's no guarantee of a free fair and internationally validated result washington has also accused my daughter of causing food shortages and sparking a flood of migrants into neighboring countries i will robinson professor of latin american studies says the new sanctions are part of a u.s. plan for regime change. these new sanctions have absolutely nothing to do with drug trafficking and they have nothing to do with the lack of democracy or electoral fraud in venezuela the united states specifically targeting out venezuela because

it's trying to overthrow their government the u.s. strategy for these elections coming up in venice well it's very important to note this there is an opposition candidate running and we found cold and in fact he's increasing in the polls who knows he might win these elections but the u.s. strategy and of a jar to the right far right wing opposition intends for l.f. which is aligned with the u.s. policy of overthrowing the revolution is boycotting these elections this is a boycott strategy because it does not want the venezuelan government with judo made by another or another election that we haven't seen since from the government is going to ignore that demand is absolutely absurd and outrageous demands so. you give me a dual government has made very frequent beginning it's not going to succumb to this u.s. intervention but neither is going to take such such interventionist demands seriously. as i go in the netherlands where and i know more we're animals they're upping cold to the local nature reserve locals have also been banned from feeding battles there and he just i think explains. the russian screen pastures

bundles of gold and had a blue skies and sunny valley it's picture a flock of wild animals scattered across the meadows and you've probably conjured up a perfect wildlife preservation park. but in one park in the netherlands something clearly went wrong to the point where the park authority started to shoot some of the animals yes you had it right. the reason all the ponies and cattle which were roaming free had been reproducing too much last summer and when winter came there wasn't enough food for all the hungry mouth and the weakest started to die local animal lovers try to come to the

rescue and feed the animals but tend to livestock control rules of legal. you see according to the ranges the more animals the fats the faster they will reproduce the less food there will be and the more that will eventually die to minimize suffering they began shooting the week once more then three thousand animals were either killed or starved to death within the last few months this is how it works in nature and here we try to follow natural process is as much as possible the critics say there is nothing natural about taking guns to living beings and this touch plan to let nature take its course has spectacularly backfires i think it's abuse and it's pretty sad i mean how could you do that soon animal doesn't have a voice i understand but want to see. those animals are

but. it's also on parents who joes shoot them i think that we just need to revolving doors and walls are placed them on places where do not behind their hands and another opportunity is to just crash trade the mail animals that's a pretty expensive thing to do but it's the right thing to do. it is not international football fans dream of meeting the stars of the game and for supporters of england's liverpool the chances of meeting legendary striker mohamed salah may have just doubled.

although if you look at i wasn't convinced at the beginning when many people said i look like i'm at. some of them suggested me to raise my hair up to look more like him i decided then to travel and meet with him in his village and i was surprised that people treated me like i was actually him. that sometimes i can enjoy going out with my children and wife because

a lot of people tend to surround me it's not a problem when it happens in front of my friends but it is a problem when i go out with my wife many times i've had to cancel going out with. after all that and some people think that on the saving them when i say i'm not so law but only as look alike some of them accuse me of being arrogant and whatever i say they don't believe me so now i accept posing for photos with anyone out of fear of distorting salons image. joining us our foreign policy international more of your tuesday worldwide headlines in about half an hour. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private

this is formed by us broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm bart chilton coming up today we look at five the the fifth generation of mobile networks why is it work and are there some public relations games being played as we look at the media mergers going on our teams millet chan takes us a long look at it plus we'll take a little trip to miami where archie correspondent nicholas o'donovan tells us how climate change and rising sea levels are reshaping one of the nation's largest housing markets plus nestle's the food company candy company is paying billions of dollars to starbucks our correspondent alex behala vidual tell us why and we talk

tesla's terrible troubles and other auto news with the car coach lauren fix all of that on our righteous road ahead but first let's get to some have. a rising u.s. dollar has caused the worst two week loss of capital emerging economy bond markets since two thousand and sixteen nearly one billion dollars exit in the bond markets for emerging economies in just the last week according to the financial times the u.s. dollar is recent strength particularly relative to currencies and developing nations is believed to be driving the move away from debt in emerging markets a significant portion of developing nation debt is denominated in dollars adding a significant multiplying factor to their debt burden when the dollar rises some emerging economies as take have taken more dramatic measures to support their currencies as we reported here last week argentina raised interest rates three times in just one week to prop up the argentine peso. and workers at air

france walked out on monday pushing. or worse workplace action into a fourteenth day and putting the last making airline survival in the balance according to a french economy minister last week the c.e.o. of the company officially known as air france k l m insisted on putting a previously rejected pay proposal to a vote among the workers and staking his c.e.o. position on a yes vote well it went down and then it's now it's lacking a leader as it continues to seek settlement economy minister bruno lemaire told reporters the survival of air france is in the balance the union that represents air france is demanding an immediate five point one percent pay increase with future boost versus a proposal from management for a two percent raise. the kill a way of volcano on hawaii's big island is producing massive rivers of lava toxic gas and sprouting jets of molten rock over three hundred feet high the eruption has

also led authorities to order evacuation for at least seven hundred residents that we went to air so far the lava has caused millions of dollars in damage and has destroyed over thirty homes lava began creeping across the island on saturday the day after a six point nine earthquake the worst to hit hawaii in four decades last year visitors to the island spent more than sixteen billion dollars and according to the hawaii tourism authority visitor spending this year in q one is already up by more than ten percent the airlines are not reporting flight cancellations to hawaii and tourism dollars are expected to continue to flow even as the lava flows far away from resort related areas. and now we turn to the fifth generation of wireless technology five g. there is a race to develop five g. and the leaders seem to be china and the united states but there's more to it than

simply incremental speed the media merger. is playing right into the five g. race artie's mobility explains. currently americans have four major mobile network operators or emma knows to choose from when selecting cell phone service that slim selection is about to get even slimmer if regulators permit number three m. n. o. t. mobile to acquire the number for company sprint in a proposed twenty six point five billion dollars deal the c.e.o.'s of team mobile and sprint appeared in a joint commercial to announce their plans for today were announcing that t. mobile and sprint have reached a definitive agreement to come together and form a new stronger company a company that will super charge the on carrier strategy and create robust competition and lower prices across wireless video and broadband a company that will create thousands of new american jobs and the only company with the capacity to quickly create a broad and deep nationwide five g. network the two exacts focusing on the union creating new jobs and bringing

nationwide five g. service and expanding access across rural america laguerre even playing the china card saying that america is falling behind china as a leader in five g. technology as the only card left to play after a previously failed bid presented to antitrust regulators just a few years ago the risk of rejection by the department of justice will play an important role in the number of choices consumers will have talking points are catered to the ears of president donald trump whose administration has outlined a desire to outpace china in the world of tech but according to former f.c.c. chairman tom wheeler playing the china card may backfire since the trump administration has already weighed in on issues of national security when broadcom acquisition of qualcomm was blocked behind the bluster of saving face over china's five g. capabilities the real reason behind this merger according to business experts is simply that neither team mobile or sprint have the capital to compete against.

arisan independently in building out their five g. networks eighteen t. and verizon have shelled out twenty two billion and seventeen billion dollars respectively to invest in modernizing their networks in two thousand and seventeen while t. mobile and sprint only spent six billion combined this merger makes great business sense for the number three and number four carriers but are burdened with proving to regulators that this will not hurt consumers the current four company competition has driven down wireless plan prices by thirteen percent in just twenty seventeen alone the only burden antitrust lawyers have to prove is that there's any possible chance these two corporations may monopolize the consumer the burden only need to prove the possibility not intent. and joining us live to discuss this subject is the intrepid moodle with chad manila you've been monitoring this whole thing but tell us why it's so important why is this an important story you you come

up with something that i think a lot of people may not have seen well there are i think there are a couple reasons why this is a big story number one on the national or international front this is a story where the carriers t. mobile and sprint are trying to pander to president trump because he knows that china and the u.s. are sort of frenemies so they are telling him that hey we'll get ahead of all this and we'll make the whole country five g. ready if you allow if your administration allows this merger to happen and on the second front is that they're saying that they will be able to spread five g. all across the u.s. into rural communities and in fact in dead zones where like you and i have talked about before you should be in the middle of a suburb and find a dead zone you know it's somewhere in north carolina you're not out on a farm you're sitting in the middle of a subdivision wired why are you in a dead zone that makes no sense mobile and sprint say that they are going to fix

those gaps in all those various. communities so there's two things here just start with the substance of it connecting people whether or not it's four g. or five people don't have four g. right that's right and as we talk about on the show all the time and you talk about on the show in other places having that connection is important for education it's important for business and economies so getting more connection where the next forty five years important but what you said is very interesting you know we've got this controversy with the a.t.m. the time warner merger that's been in the news that the. government just rested in the it's in the hands of the judge now but now with regard to t. mobile and sprint there are actually as you use a making a public relations ploy really to an audience of one donald trump really in the case of eighteen t. and time warner they say that's vertical integration in the case of sprint and t.

mobile which we have here you're buying out your competition so i think they're they're big hurdle is going to be with the f.c.c. and with the d.o.j. because regulators are going to say you're just trying to monopolize the market now there's going to be three choices so you know fewer choices are usually kind of bad for the consumer but you know with all these guys investing billions and tens of billions of dollars into expanding their networks anyway i think we're going to be able to get over those dead zones and role of communities and the connectivity that you say that will help education help commerce will be able to get over those pretty soon in the in the very near future great analysis mill i think you're right they may be playing on hoping that president trump will hope that he's going to be president five g. that's right all the f.c.c. on this thing that's right manila chant thank you for being here your parish it. and now we go to miami where climate change and rising sea levels are reshaping one

of the nation's largest housing markets here with more is r t correspondent nicholas o'donovan. miami is known worldwide for its speeches and beautiful weather millions of cheeriest come here to stay at seaside hotels wealthy locals invest in luxurious villas overlooking the bay and the up income in urban areas a home to a vibrant an international community of young professionals. so miami is growing at a fast pace cranes and construction sites have been part of the city's landscape for years and home prices have been growing steadily since the recession but real estate isn't the only thing rising here in south florida sea level rise and floods are already a reality here and they're starting to reshape one of the country's largest housing markets according to a new study published in the journal of environmental research letters single family homes closer to the say are appreciating slower than those at higher

elevations while some properties near the ocean will lose value flood insurance could get more expensive as entire. remapped is high risk zones in miami dade county some areas flood even on sunny days especially during high tides known as king tides for example the frequency of flood in increased significantly in miami beach between two thousand and six twenty thirteen with tide induced events soren more than four hundred percent so the impact on homeowners is already real and some studies making grim predictions of up to five feet of sea level rise by the end of the century others suggest in the up to twenty three billion dollars of existing property state wide could be underwater by twenty fifteen with these predictions in mind the city of miami beach has embarked on an ambitious and expensive defensive program that includes elevating roads and installing powerful

new pumps the city has also raised the. heights of newly constructed homes to one foot above base flood elevation experts underlined the importance of the infrastructure plans in order to combat sea level rise the city of miami beach has set aside four hundred million dollars to put in pumps and other flood control infrastructure that will help deal with the sunny day flooding that they're experiencing and they have been really proactive the city leaders have been incredibly proactive in not denying this issue not ignoring it but facing it and taking real steps in real time to deal with it we're not seeing really the same amount of political will at the state or federal levels private developers are also taking precautions a good example of this is a recent condo project in the coastal neighborhood of coconut grove where the

builder added to seventeen acre park to better absorb water from flooding in or south florida's coastal communities will be reshaped both physically and economically by climate change and it is very possible that in the near future the hottest properties on the market will be located in dried neighborhoods rather than close to the big. donovan. miami. chain turning from climate news to oil there is a link there the big oil or saudi arabia is now reportedly focusing on plans to try and increase oil prices to above eighty dollars per barrel the defacto saudi ruler crown prince. had been solomon is reportedly committed to the policy which is a break with past efforts to hold down prices in exchange for u.s. arms and diplomatic support saudi rulers have imposed austerity budgets in recent years as the price of oil has been relatively low along the price the balance back

gives the crown prince a little more wealth to share among the population. as he tries to restructure the saudi economy. time now for a very brief break when we return r t correspondent alex file of it will tell us why nestle is the food and candy company is paying billions of dollars to starbucks plus a car coach lauren fix is back and we discussed tesla's terrible troubles plus the car coach has an additional title as of a few hours ago i'll explain as we go to break here are the numbers at the closing bell another green arrow put oil today at sixty nine dollars not the eighty dollars that the saudis want will be right back.
