it's about the hurt and the redistribution of. purpose. downwards. the. sea of people a sweat through taking part in the immortal regiment remembering relatives fighting in the great pattern of. the biggest and most all event perhaps on the calendar in this country is making moscow cheer and cry at the same time.

earlier in the day with tanks and troops of role does a red square in the annual military parade marking the defeat of nazi germany in one thousand nine hundred forty five. thanks for joining us my name's neil harvey this is. russia has been celebrating victory day marking the defeat of nazi germany as the seventy third anniversary of the end of the great patrick war as it's known here in russia which claimed the lives of more than twenty six million soviet people. this hardly a family in russia that wasn't affected by the war almost everybody has relatives who fought against the nazis and in their honor a special march known as the immortal regiment is held every year our

correspondents have been following the march from right in the heart of the crowds in the center of the capital. yeah in the last couple of hours i decided to stay at one location and not move pretty much by the sea of people kept flowing and i still don't see the end of it we are being told that the record has been broken more than a million people has been officially said are taking part in this immortal regiment march this is the lead say an entire city of brussels got together and went out for a march on the one day but it's all about the people whose faces are in these many many portraits they survived the years of war and this is and memory of all of them a few years ago i promise to myself that in the next four years. every time touring

victory day i'm going to take one of the portraits of one of my four great grandfathers and i'm keeping the promise and this is mikhail difference of who is the grandfather of my mom what he did like pretty much everyone else here on these portraits his first defended his motherland to make the nazis retreat and then he got a medal for liberating the city that's now known as kaliningrad the final destination of this absolutely extraordinary immortal regiment marched right square and my colleague daniel hawkins was much closer to that final destination take a listen and take a look at what he saw brought located just by the kremlin in the bright square where the boxers are heading right now i'll go to the crowd myself but it's easy to

overestimate just one ominous fear this is akin to feel the emotion is coming from the crowd a joy bittersweet a. sadness at the same time record numbers here and given how this march began it made twenty twelve with just a few thousand people rallying in a small city in siberia it's now on the road to a truly international event with millions of people marching worldwide cities across europe bolin madrid london lisbon and across the atlantic united states and thailand in israel truly a global event so all of those people that made their contribution had in many millions of cases gave up their lives for peaceful tomorrow and see for mankind every portrayed here every photograph has a story behind it good personal story that sort of people carrying them i found out more about my family as well my great grandmother aemilia all going to hell was a doctor a military surgeon she actually participated in the battle of moscow she was on the

front lines here for many months her during that the battle before transferring further back into russia where she was the only surgeon for this ship for quite some time for me hundreds of operations later becoming an ordinary citizen of insolence to tower in the republic of tatarstan and all the relatives of my great grandparents could do some work to do and it was a soldier in the force in the battle of stalingrad where he sadly died today of course so this year rather is the anniversary of the victory and the battle a key turning point on the eastern front line aboard so you just might start a little more salient today that the russian president's has spent participating in the march as well since when you can steal a lot of your boots and alongside him today the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu who's holding a photo of a lot of fights for all the participants of the second world war and hero of the soviet union just go to show just how much this event has expanded internationally how much this means to people not only here in russia but

a broad as well we've managed to get some of those human stories that captured some of the. find. the family history is just one of them don't we just get. bored. of issues to be subtly or doesn't apply to. who reads it is processed through change. my link when i'm in israel your voice or i never get iranian news or but if you click a minute. using the me here can you but i do it the. sky you know sky the model of the she stood still not treated him come to lunch elizabeth us the. dirty. movie according to

a new bill i come to. look at the interest of the unemployed seemingly endless instant it said to touch it to thirty two thirty pm. show come to did no good with a mere bullshit to trick the mayor is an awesome rebuke to me. never pick winners not for miscalls i want email for a million. ntozake who were there when this should be packing. put acts enormousness. have a woman.

this is about remember it's respect showing your memories of those who sacrificed so much not only for russia for the former soviet republic spot for world peace as well but all to me saying thank you to those people are making sure that no similar tragedy ever occurs again truly a very emotional day here today in central moscow. immortal regiments are also marching across the globe to honor the memory of those who fell victim to the horrific events of the second world war vets have taken place everywhere from the streets of new york to tbilisi warsaw even kuwait city crowds also gathered as far away as australia with those in sydney commemorating their relatives for many in russia the centerpiece of the victory day celebrations is the military

parade through red square in the capital that took place in the morning. o'dowd. bands get underway with marching bands from all corners of the vast expanse of the russian federation. you can smell the fumes from all the engines more than a hundred feet taking pods in this year's parade now we can finally see some of the vehicles moving just behind me so finally this part of the parade has officially

kicked off so let's just enjoy the view that we have from this vantage point and check out and check out and i think daniel holkins my colleague will be meeting those tanks those vehicles on monday square as the rumble into the red square. here they come here they come now it is the big boys and that big boys.

look at the current. diesel coming off these tanks that's the armada these are the big ones here we m.p.g. right that that's the terminator. the stuff of red square my feet the vibrations it makes you think there's some sort of seismic activity underneath the kremlin. my only question is how on earth does he parked i think. that's a thunderous. many of us have. but you can feel it through your politics. the two ninety five and that is as nato has come to call them i'm not one hundred

percent sure whether you get this she has shards of these aircraft through you know a camera lens but they're enormous sometimes defy reason logic the things that the. back to the events of the war that changed the course of humanity the siege of leningrad leningrad apology city she's now st petersburg remains one of the most horrific chapters the city was completely surrounded by germans in one nine hundred forty one the blockade lasted eight hundred seventy two days it claimed the lives of up to one and a half million people all major supply routes were cut off only one exception that was the famous road of life running across

a frozen lake. when i bet your boots it was june and we blocked out dutch and then my dad appeared with a changed look on his face and said yes wall i like the school but i had never had it for my dad gave me a little slap to stop my joking around there's been an accident it's me cheerfully and he left. the ball over good we had a new year's celebration on a talkin to god they satirists on the benches and gave each one of us the commander

a bomb and they had an amazing fruit i don't think i had ever eaten one before you . leave your local pubs i mean when i grew up did i find out of my mandarin was brought to me by my accent doctor it was a hole that was in each other it wasn't just the whole thing it was a whole world from a not simple answer. do stay with us for our continued coverage as russia marks the seventy third

anniversary of victory day. the 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 conflict continues to impose bush whose view of the world to this day. the way is anti american and anti-democratic and he can look at that quite plainly by a standing 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 of the one timers they add nothing to the economy.

which. is controversial pick full director of the cia this cina hospital has been grilled of the senate confirmation hearing over her alleged involvement in the agency's facilities but she insisted that under her leadership to ensure the cia will be a thing of the past i can offer you my personal commitment clearly and without reservation that under my leadership on my watch cia will not restart the detention and interrogation program. cia has learned some

tough lessons from that experience. in the streets of washington correspondence america to get more on this. one is to convince the senate is that well there was some opposition to her nomination but not much but most of the current controversy surrounding her involvement with the cia's quote enhanced interrogation techniques now first on background has reportedly ran a cia prison in thailand where these techniques were supposedly used and she's accused of destroying the tapes which documented that interrogation and that was the main topic of discussion at today's hearing. do you believe the program in terms that you get interrogation program was consistent with american values we have decided to hold ourselves to a stricter moral standards are they consistent with american values senator i believe very strongly in american values i want to trust that you have the moral

compass that you said you have i have conducted myself honorably and in accordance with u.s. law do you believe that the previous interrogation techniques were immoral what i believe sitting here today is that i support the higher moral standard we have decided to hold ourselves to answer the question. and i think i've answered the question i have not well the hearing was interrupted twice by protesters who were then carried out of there by capitol police but a one protester even shouted bloody geno which was a nickname that was given to her by the press let's take a look at what happened. oh. please please remove. her. you. know your was was was was

was. the second protester was ray mcgovern a former cia veteran and he's always a critique her use of torture if he attempted to ask her a question but he was also removed from the hearing. was. he was going to. take every right to go. well the open session is now over and the closed session is taking place but now we're just going to have to wait and see whether she'll get past all of this controversy. and they're going with the very latest that from washington thank you. now we spoke to former cia operations officer john kiriakou he's the man who revealed the use of torture in the agency and was jailed for those revelations that he knows do you know her personally it's

time for a woman to head the cia just like this woman i think she's probably the single worst pick in all of washington d.c. and has personally i worked for gina haskell i don't care of genius was a man or a woman or a combination of the two she's not right for this judge everybody is tough on terrorism all of us at the cia we're tough on terrorism that doesn't mean that you have to ignore the constitution of the united states and to ignore international law to prove that you're tough that was just nonsense. controversial white helmets group praised by the west as a rescue team working in syria has been guaranteed continued support by the british prime minister to reason may last week the trumpet ministration from the us funding with foundations of civilian lives at risk will the prime minister step up pledge the government to plug the funding shortfall that now exists and is sure these heroic rescue workers can continue their work. again i say to the honorable

gentleman we recognize the very important and valuable work that the white helmet are doing they are as he says doing this in render sleep difficult conditions they are incredibly brave to be continuing that work we do support them we will continue to support them and my right on the family international development secretary will be looking at the level of that support in the future. ok let's cross over now to our correspondent in london our very good evening to you isa so we heard it there the prime minister saying that the white house can count on the u.k. what has prompted this. well the issue was raised today during prime minister's questions that's the weekly session where m.p.'s from across the chamber can ask the prime minister a series of questions and that came at that particular one about the white helmets came from a member of the labor party and in particular asking the question because of course the us government to decide to cut their funding for the white helmets and so the

question is when what would the british government be looking to do to plug that gap now it's interesting that the u.k. the us government has taken that decision because just a couple of months ago in march the white helmets and their senior leaders were in washington taking high level meetings with us government officials who were praising them for their work and praising them for their lifesaving activities as it's been put but not everybody is a fan of the white helmet so we've been repeated allegations that they have been. linked to al qaida ties groups and that they've been on the front lines where groups like al nusra have been present working hand in hand and also that some of their rescue missions have been nothing but stunts to try to win the world sympathy .

now the white helmets continue to maintain that they are purely a humanitarian group and that they have no links to any extremist groups or the like but it's interesting they were founded by a former british army soldier a former mercenary by the name of james mercer and so it seems that with this latest pledge by the u.s. and by the u.k. government to look into plugging that funding gap the links between britain and the white helmets looks set to continue of course when it is our reporting live from

london thank you. and finally this hour u.s. president donald trump has made good on his threats this time pulling out of the iran nuclear deal he's also vowed to reimpose the toughest 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 ryann doesn't seem particularly worried 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

qward nation with them russia and china are ready to keep things going as it is so are key allies of the united states and the european union and european union is the tournament to preserve it we expect the rest of the international community to continue to do its part to that anti that he continues to be fully implemented but the sake of our own collective security together with the rest of the international community we will preserve this nuclear deal. under the current circumstances we call on all parties concerned to adopt a responsible attitude china will maintain close communication with all relevant parties and stay committed to upholding and implementing the deal in an objective impartial and responsible way. we're deeply concerned over the u.s. president's decision to new actually abandon its obligations under the joint comprehensive plan of action on the iranian nuclear program and sanctions on iran 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 trouble. holdout 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 than untrustworthy and they cannot be trusted even to abide by its own commitments the iranians. they're not going to be hurt as much as they would have been if the united states had implemented 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 and what the united states is doing is it's basically pushing these countries closer to each other even u.s. allies like european union countries because when my crone and the german chancellor merkel go to the united states and are completely ignored. i've really only got time to say goodbye said. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all such but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. you guys i know you on the us he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure to come out you have to go i mean eighty percent of the shuttle we are with you and we will show you all the great game the great good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down going left go.

alone and just a warning and i'm really happy to join the to for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one come on don't appreciate me just say the reno theology team's latest edition of make up is bigger than a better jersey look. shows seem wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any you won't get to stamp out disdain comes to agitate and in games from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm bart chilton and coming up today president obama has just announced that he is making good on his campaign promise to withdraw from the iranian nuclear agreement saying that iran is noncompliance with the agreement former pentagon official michael maloof is standing by to help us break it down and consider the foreign policy and business impact plus our t.v. correspondent alex high which tells us how the shipping industry is carbonized if there is a word for arbonne izing and our team is actually banks look at look at how artificial

intelligence and robots are impacting the jobs of the future plus the meteor merger madness gets even more complicated but important attorney andre barlow is back to help explain the new state of play with the major media moguls in telecom and our trinity trial those reports on and from a luxury movie theater it's a segment worth waiting for all that coming up but first we had some help. the chinese lead asian infrastructure investment bank or a i b has now reached an agreement with regional development banks in asia and africa the ai ai be initiated at twenty thirteen as a project of president xi jinping has now signed a memorandum of understanding with both the interim merican development bank and most recently the african development bank on financing of projects in a recent interview with bloomberg a nod.
