brayton but nazi germany during world war two specifically the legislation prohibits references to wartime nazi death camps in the country as being polish jews in violation of the law face up to three years in prison the law though has faced a backlash in particular from israel and the us 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. one no one can understand what why they would like to have some control over the narrative but it is all in all a bad practice the history of auschwitz no matter whether they are polish or foreign should be 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 against foreigners it has nothing to do with some effort to make the the museum better informed. by the deliberate killing of animals and nature reserve in the netherlands has sparked. park officials that the culling is actually in line with nature itself and she said i think reports. russian screen pastures bundles of gold and hey blue skies and sunny valleys picture a flock of wild animals scattered across these 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 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 this stuff to let nature take its course 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 very. sure that i think that we just need to read all those animals so or oh they start places where do not be harmed friends and another opportunity is to just castrate the male animals that's

a pretty expensive thing to do but it's the right thing to do washing our taste and i had this out of the us is aging countries to intensify pressure on venezuela saying its upcoming election will be a fraud and a sham call that critics say that the selection interference people just off right . here like. i believe facebook's market share is increasing despite all the concerning its surveillance technology that they sell highs better including foreign governments but yeah the multi-trillion dollar mark up by these companies is a testament to the nature of the plot for the platform is 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 and probably ever be in the. world holds an opportunity. to put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to. actually going to be pros this is what before reasonable people. interested always in the water. for shit. was welcome back to r.t. nath thousands of people in new york have taken part in a march called the immortal regiment their tradition first began in russia a few years ago to commemorate soviet war heroes however has since spread around

the world and during the march families held aloft pictures of their relatives he fought in world war two but one couple it was an occasion about the past and the future to. thank you to. was so very happy looking couple there was it was in fact the march itself that brought them together because rob has been taking part in more reenactments for ten years and tricia has been helping him with his research they are both part of greek too which is dedicated to a soviet division which forty against the nazis and starting grad we caught up with them to hear their story. i wanted to be really something memorable it was an important event something that

trisha and i really think is very important to be participate in i wasn't expecting that what happened was he completely caught me off guard it was great because you know given sadism are just something that we both feel very strongly about that'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 am portraying the bad guys of the war 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 world war two and not until the beginning of the cold war or should our two nations become rivals . i prepare a for women and world war two and russia that fought and that's not something that

we 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 happened. well as we mentioned the marches are taking place all over the world and our paris correspondent child had been ski went to the event held in the french capital earlier today. hundreds of people have come to paris to take part in this year's march for the immortal regiment and to remember their relatives who participated in the second world war many have been sharing some of the stories about their relatives the bravery. that they showed

during that conflict one woman telling me that thirteen year old. was just thirteen when she joined the resistance working as a communicator intercepting communications during the war another woman told me about her father a russian pilot and the plane that was shot down it crashed he moved survived and then after his recovery he went straight back to the frontline to fight for his country to fight for freedom and stories like that everyone here has more than one to tell a father a mother parent or even a cousin a brother or sister important stories that people don't want to forget the great free the courage to her room their relatives who participated in the setting today marking its seventy three years since the end of that war which is here in europe

victory in your day and people say that they will never forget the bravery and the sacrifice of their relatives to ensure their freedom today. or tomorrow russia does mark victory day commemorating the seventy third anniversary of the soviet union's big tree over nazi germany the day to be significant for many of our grandparents force and world war two.

and don't follow our coverage tomorrow now the u.s. is mounting pressure on venezuela impose new sanctions on three individuals and also twenty companies u.s. vice president mike pence called for other nations to step up their own measures against caracas to me also slam the country's upcoming presidential election as illegitimate so called elections in venezuela scheduled for may that for you. will be nothing more than a fraud and there will be no real election in venezuela on may twentieth and the world knows that it will be a figure. with a figure. the us has been calling on venezuela to delay its presidential election since february saying there's no guarantee of a free or fair result washington is also accused into a row of causing food shortages and sparking

a flood of migrants into neighboring countries where the robinson a professor of latin american studies though says new sanctions are a blatant form of election meddling intended 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 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 a creasing in the polls who knows he might win these elections but the u.s. strategy and the majority of the right far right wing opposition into syria 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 by another of another election that it sent from the government is going to ignore that demand is absolutely absurd and outrageous demands so. you

give me your government system a very fickle beginning it's not going to succumb to this u.s. intervention but neither is going to take such such interventionist demands seriously. now elsewhere opposition leader nicole pasha man has been confirmed as the new prime minister of armenia the supporters celebrating across the country by. thousands gathered in the central square vienna van hominess capital to greet the new d.n.a. premier parliament voted in favor of passion young following weeks of public protests demanding he get the country's top job handed saying he had initially been rejected by parliament last week sparking intensified demonstrations manx safely in his position he started to see former congratulations from foreign leaders. you know. finally football's biggest event kicks off in russia in just over a month's time the host nation is already getting into the spirit of the world cup

this is full bus 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 in 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 r.t. correspondent alex about haleigh 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 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 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 in. rates three times in just one week to prop up the argentine peso. and workers at 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. in 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 talking points are catered to the ears of president donald trump whose administration has outlined a desire to outpace china in the world of tag 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 paul com was blocked behind the bluster of saving face over china's

five g. keep it. willoughby's the real reason behind this merger according to business experts is simply that neither team mobile or sprint have the capital to compete against. them 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 the

subject is the intrepid middle of 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 see 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 they're 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. in the 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 it

a dead zone you know it's somewhere in north carolina. not out of the farm you're sitting in the middle of a subdivision wired 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 have talked about on this 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 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 roll 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 that's right militant thank you for being here you're a shit. 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 rising 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 suggesting 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. in 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 nickel less o'donovan. miami. and turning from climate news to oil there is a link there the big player 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 m.b.'s mohamed bin 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 bout 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 my pile 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 fact and we discussed tesla's terrible troubles was the car coach has an additional title as of a few hours ago all explain as we go to break here are the numbers at the closing bell another green arrow for a while today at sixty nine dollars not the eighty dollars that the saudis want will be right back.
