not being representative enough of polish jews of poland's new holocaust speech law bans claims the country collaborated with nazi germany during world war two specifically the legislation prohibits references to wartime nazi death camps in the country as being polish those in violation of them or could face up to three years behind bars and since being passed in february the law has been 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 or lack thereof 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 that bad practice the history

of auschwitz no matter whether they are polish or foreign should be the guards there and this should be. the standard everywhere in every museum or memorial and this claim that guides should only be natives. is really easy enough abhi kits against foreigners it has nothing to do with some effort to make the the museum better informed. there's anger in the netherlands where animals are being called a local nature reserve defenders of the move say it's more in line with nature. takes a closer look. the russian screen pastures bundles of gold and had a blue skies and sunny valley its picture a flock of wild animals scattered across these meadows and you probably conjured up

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 deer 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 laws and legal.

you see according to the ranges the more animal 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 weaker ones more than 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 that critics say there's nothing natural about taking guns to living beings and they start to let nature take its course spectacularly backfires i think it's abuse and it's pretty sad i mean how could you do it there. doesn't have a voice i understand but want to see. those animals are. and it's also fair to joe's sure that i think that we just need to read all those animals so or oh they start places where do not be harmed that ends and another

opportunity is to just crush trade to male animals that's a pretty expensive thing to do but it's the right thing to do. still to come here on the program or naughty meddling in elections the u.s. house left of venezuela with a new round of sanctions has denounced its upcoming election as a shadow details on that and much more after the break.

seems. we all just don't. get to see palo. alto. and in detroit. trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. quarter past here in moscow thousands in new york have taken part in an immortal regiment macia it's a tradition started

a few years ago here in russia to commemorate soviet war heroes that has since now spread all around the world during the march families carried pictures of relatives who fought in world war two but for two of the participants in new york it was a special occasion that looks to the future as well. thank you. for the happy couple rob and trisha the immortal regiment machos actually what united them a role has been taking part in the event for ten years while trisha has been helping him with this related historical research they are both part of the one hundred ninety third a rifle division reenactment group which is dedicated to one soviet division the bravely fought against the nazis at stalingrad we caught up with

a couple who told us a bit 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 be participate in i wasn't expecting it when it happened it 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 through 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 am for training the bad guys in new york and then i have to explain to them how the soviet union was not an axis power and 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 to come alive . i prepare i 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 than what we know it helps kind of educate and give you other ways to kind of you everything that happens. tomorrow marks victory day actually commemorating the seventy third anniversary of the soviet union's victory over nazi germany and the great pathologic war the day is important to many here are the aussie family

grandparents of many of our. colleagues fought in world war two i hope you can stay tuned for our special take up. it is good to have you with us today the u.s. is mounting pressure on venezuela where a presidential election is looming some are calling it election meddling or blatant

interference as washington is sanctioning three venezuelans and twenty companies u.s. vice president mike pence called for other nations to increase pressure on venezuela he also slammed the country's upcoming election as illegitimate. so-called elections in venezuela scheduled for may twentieth. ok nothing more than wrong and there will be no real election. on may twentieth and the world knows it will be you think a much we think the u.s. has been calling on venezuela to delay its presidential election since february saying there's no guarantee of a free fair and internationally valid that they did result well the washington is also a q is my daughter of causing food shortages and sparking a flood of migrants into neighboring countries william robinson a professor of latin american studies says the new sanctions are a blatant form of election meddling intended for one thing to bring about 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 that as well 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 said creasing 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 into a sort of left 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 would just have made it quite another on another election that it wouldn't since well the government is going to ignore that demand is absolutely absurd and outrageous demands so i can you give me a dual government just made very frequent beginning it's not going to succumb to this u.s. intervention but neither is he going to take such such interventionist demands

seriously. so football's biggest event kicks off in russia in just over a month's time and the host nation getting well into the spirit of the ground world cup between march and the beginning of the tournament. world cup football park is touring the host cities of visitors can take part in moscow classes attend autograph sessions in the penalty taking skills and of course pick up souvenirs of the latest stop on his tour hope the russian city of. among the visitors that was former spanish defender michel salgado he played for reale madrid for over a decade and during his career he owned more than fifty caps for his country and he also became very well known for his tough tackling style a michelle his impressions of cazan without see. but i meant recently i took part in the opening of a new parking khazan that i think will become popular and tracked lots of people from all over the country for those who won't be able to get to the stadium there

will be big screens for world cup matches in this park all this will create a great football atmosphere that's because and it's one of the oldest russian cities but at the same time it has the most modern stadiums and they have already been tested i visit because and the arena stadium and really likes it i think it has everything that can make the fans happy it's a quality stadium with all necessary infrastructure as a player i can say that the sound is very powerful the pitch is fantastic and just the right size for a fee for heads viewpoints and in general it's amazing stadium everyone will like it so because then for me is one of the cities to enjoy the world cup just like in some petersburg old moscow and the fourteenth of june is the first thing of the football world cup we have special coverage on this channel hope you can join us for.

across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to meet people this was a simple song on events like company elsewhere though they invite private companies to take over their utilities anybody tell us drop off. a leg from a cigar cigar book but you're well on the going to be. a bevis's. just because they're now looking you're a bit of property or you member of the left over or the locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also over much more than war it's about the hurt and the redistribution of. course on day to day downwards do you want or.

later. this is food bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm bart chilton coming up today we look at five year the fifth generation of mobile networks why is it important 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 r t 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 r.t. correspondent alex behala vidual tell us why and we've talked to tesla is 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 as. 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. workers that air france walked out on monday pushing their worst 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. . the leaders seem to be china and the united states but there's more to it than simply incremental speed the media merger mania is playing right into the five g.

race artie's mobility explains. currently americans have four major mobile network operators or m.n. nose 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 four 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 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 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 laguerre is talking points are catered to the ears of president donald trump whose administration has outlined a desire to outpace china in the world attack but according to former f.c.c. chairman tom wheeler playing the china card may backfire since the trumpet ministration 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. capability is the real reason behind this merger according to. business experts is simply that neither team mobile or sprint have the capital to compete against a t. and t. or verizon 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 while. why are you in a dead zone that makes no sense t. 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 eighty and the time warner merger that's been in the news that the. 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 is in the case of eighteen t. and time warner they say that's vertical integration in the case of a sprint and t. mobile which we have here you're buying out your competition so i think 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 health 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 garish 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 underline the importance of these 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 seventy naked parks 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. chan turning from climate news to or oil there is a link there the big players 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 our to correspondent alcohol of it will tell us why nestle is the food and candy company is paying billions of dollars to starbucks plus car culture lauren fix is fact and we discussed tesla terrible trouble was the car coach has an additional title as of a few hours ago pollock's wife has a go to break your leg numbers the closing bell another green arrow for oil today at sixty nine dollars not the eighty dollars that the saudis want will be right back. ministries police forces and city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation that does my mike will still be on the board doesn't implement the eyes
