it was outside and covered troughs the temperature was a minus four degrees. today's the new year what it has in store in france is a mystery. this is the first time we have celebrated the new year like this we didn't even have a crumb of bread and instead of running around the christmas tree or sleeping because there was nothing to do. on january the first nine hundred forty two we were given take its to the theatre we sounded the alarm several times during the performance was stopped and we went down into the chateau after the play tables were set each of us was given a small car plant with buckwheat. in a few hours the new year will be. after having some hot water with

a slice of bread everyone in our household has gone to their rooms lying in bed i was thinking of the new year preparations before they were hanging colorfully rubber chocolate and the christmas tree along with toys suddenly i remember the big tractor my sweets had been kept because of the upright wrapping we had been hanging on the tree for the last two or three moons and i realized that this treasure is laying in a box with some toys to me right i jumped out of that truck to bolts from the cop and get the precious sweets we've seen and. what does stay with alex a for our special coverage of victory day they see among the seventy third anniversary of the defeat of nazi germany and the end of the great patriotic war. led.

and world news now he wasn't bluffing chump announces america's withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal with has to be a reaction for you after this short break stay with us. but i was telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks was new to fight the battle. to stop spreading tell you to be gossip to play. off eyes and tell me you are not going out like your father. these are the hawks that we all want to watch. the way is anti american and anti-democratic and we can look at that quite plainly

by understanding the stock price approach rather it was that risk but so it's trading i think there are three hundred thousand dollars a share so the message from charlie munger and warren buffett to americans is unless you've got three hundred thousand dollars to buy one share of berkshire hathaway you're a player you're a peasant here you know they are the neo feudal lords that are building the system milking the system abusing the system and aggregating wealth as raunchy a coupon clippers and nickel and dime are they add nothing to the economy. welcome back the u.s. president donald trump is making good on his threats by pulling out of the iran nuclear deal he's bound to reimpose tough sanctions on tehran. i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal the

agreement to restrict iran's nuclear energy program the crowning achievement of the obama white house has finally been terminated by the donald today's action sends a critical message the united states no longer makes empty threats when i make promises i keep them but how much impact is this really having only one country the united states is withdrawing and the rand doesn't seem particularly worried about it i have ordered the ministry of foreign affairs to negotiate with and lobby the european countries as well as russia and china and to carry out the necessary nation with them russia and china are ready to get things going as is so are key allies of the united states and the european union and european union is the to them in to preserve it we expect the rest of the international community to continue to do its part to that and see that it continues to be fully implemented but to say about own collective security together with the rest of the

international community we would preserve this nuclear deal now this isn't the only global decision the trumpet ministration has made to be met with chirping crickets remember when the usa moved its embassy to jerusalem other than paraguay and guatemala the rest of the world was not exactly clamoring to follow suit and remember one trump pulled out of the paris climate change accords well the other one hundred ninety five countries that have signed on they frowned at washington for a minute and then they moved on as if nothing had happened the chords remain exactly the same so once again we've got a big drum roll and fanfare from the white house but with the rest of the world refusing to go along is washington's global leadership really all it's cracked up to be everyone now recognizes that it's the united states that is that is unreliable and on trust. worthy and they cannot be trusted even to abide by its own commitments the right is. they're not going to be hurt as much as they would have

been if the united states had implemented the agreement so the iranians have been dealing with sanctions on a daily basis for years now and they've learned how to circumvent those sanctions what the united states is doing is basically pushing these countries pose with each other even u.s. allies like european union countries because when micron and the german chancellor merkel go to the united states and are completely ignored russia which is also a participant of the deal signed back in twenty fifteen has expressed concern over the u.s. abandoning its obligations under the joint agreement and its plan to impose further sanctions well one of the main champions of scrapping the nuclear agreement besides trump has been the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he recently gave a theatrical powerpoint presentation decrying the deal netanyahu has praised decision israel is opposed the nuclear deal from the start because we said

that rather than blocking the runs both through a bomb the deal actually proves you wrong to an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs israeli influence is absolutely key here trump cited netanyahu is kind of used cars a salesman style presentation in order to justify withdrawing from the iran deal and his new policy of rollback and you know first of all we have to recognize netanyahu introduced nothing new in his presentation the intelligence was arguably fabricated that netanyahu it introduced that trump cited it's another intelligence scam driving us to war with the deals of the signatories vowing to fulfill their obligations despite the us is withdrawal let's now take a look back at how the agreement was hama douse. it took nine years of talks numerous attempts and was even days of meetings. we're seeing kerry. the

e.u. u.s. russia china and iran had to overcome their trust issues. are racist but they believe it was even possible. it will get. the bill to mr and yet it happened a diplomatic breakthrough a true success after a decade long standoff in. one country to one happy i think this is a bad. deal for a while he was all on his own until the new guy came to the white house the worst sales i've ever seen and the disaster is still one of the dumbest stales one of the worst deals ever hertha was the iran deal i'm all for agreements but that was a bad one first came decertifying the deal we cannot and will not make

this certification the e.u. took it personally president of the united states as many posts not this one to trump went even further threatening to pull out of the deal altogether i fear toto terminations that's a very real possibility some would say that's a greater possibility israel was jubilant but they're trying to bamboozle the entire world and i'm very glad that president well enough without the e.u. tried to knock some sense into trump with france germany and the u.k. sending their top guys to try and change his mind the president has been right to call attention to it but you could do that without just throwing the baby out with the bathwater nine years of talks a diplomatic breakthrough. a truce accent's was it all for nothing. that's just over a month to go until football's biggest event kicks off in russia legendary

goalkeeper peter schmeichel has been touring the country checking out the world cup host cities and with victory day in full swing the latest episode of his show comes from volgograd formerly known as starling grabs where one of the key battles of world war two took place. this is both about arena and it's one of two stadiums in the world cup that i've acted competed in when i played had looked a lot different completely demolished and they've built this. i mean volgograd what else is going on around here but i'm peter schmeichel and i'm here to find out.

it's been the years since i last i skied almost wanted to see how it was from an ice hockey team that's what i'm going to have to do it just. as you just see i'm not able to skate i leave that to all of these guys these are speeding. the ice hockey wasn't a great success for me so i found a driving range of come out here it's again

a little bit of silva specked back and i'd recommend it now in between games come out here. you've got to brace yourself though it's a bit of a bumpy ride but once your head's nice. ok i'm about fifty. well back at the top of the out. war in remembrance today marks the seventy third anniversary of victory in europe over fascism this is one of the most important dates on the russian calendar but can't be said of the europeans and americans we discussed how that complicated team used to question view of the world to this day. would you like

to. milton's i would say i'm not american but americans helped out really. world war two cures the depression farce the united states is concerned prosperity of course in store. for the for all the whole world what it what ended. historical real ever since world war two to foment the cold war against russia against communism and. just this new bush. it was so you call me out. to strike when we're so used to paul. well i think world war two has been the story credibly by the anglo-american

media and that's because they wanted to minish the role of russia. and stalin who actually defeated hitler. gratings and sally so you know the united states navy just can't seem to stay out of the headlines this week oct watchers first it was lasers and now it's the second bleat you remember them the fleet that used to guard the picturesque us eastern seaboard and protect the north atlantic from those evil soviet submarines during the heady days of the cold war the fleet was finally disbanded back in two thousand and eleven to save a couple bucks since the days of hunt for red october were by only thought to be relegated to the pages of history books and fiction well. much like hollywood it

appears the us military industrial complex is fresh out of new ways to squeeze money out of its citizens so why not just stop and reimagine old ones yes the us second is coming back according to the chief of naval operations admiral john richardson the second lead will be reactivated and resume operations out of norfolk virginia july the first right in time for the united states to celebrate its independence day and why why why oh why oh why are we bringing back the second fleet you ask well here's a hint starts with r. and with yes russia has now supplanted terrorism as the little black dress for us million military industrial tax dollars spending popular mechanics magazine justifies the new u.s. military buildup in the atlantic and frightening fashion writing russian submarines particularly the new ya's in class nuclear powered cruise missile submarine could

creep up to north america and then launch a surprise attack of nucular armed rockets against washington d.c. in strategic targets across the eastern seaboard. wow are we really going to have to start hiding under our school desks again too as steve jobs once said it's more fun to be a pirate and to join the navy so let's go be pirates hang pentagon fear mongering from a yard arm and start watching the hawks. that's . what. it's like to sit. like you know that i got.

six. well the watches are so you know the story that i'm having a while are you scared you know are you scared yeah well it's scary out there i have two reasons why i'm thoroughly terrified going to russia. and making threats of sneaking up on the east coast number one is what we're looking right. is russia is on the other side of the country it's in the do they know it's not me on land i get some of it. it's absolutely insane i didn't resist going place there moments and so would say if you're going to fight against russia why don't you do it on the side of that is that you so we have all our ships on the east coast waiting rosa to just come in and take california right over there to cross right over into alaska pretty quickly and easily and i really want to do it with a few of these aerial and sounds from there you know i know right you know it's

really.
