a broader as well we've managed to get some of those human stories that captured some of the behind the great pleasure to build up family history here's just one of them that we managed to get. something for. me said to me and those who are prone to. these forces to change. money is wrong your voices are never going to harm. our culture using your keyboard due. to most car. to film to the missis. poorly clad and dirty couple uncovered coppola.

of those taking part in the mortal regiment in moscow was two time olympic champion retired ice hockey player get just left of his grandfather fought in both world wars he likes how the march unites people around the world. grandpa. and seems to do so he will. be intimate to force a war one and world to. use my hero for me it's a big. parade sixteen years already every year it came out it was my family i'm. employed to do is celebrate. the history restrict the people he was chance to be heroes and. of course you speak to going to classes to

work you something. immortal regiments also marched across the globe to one of the memory of those who fell victim to the givenchy of the second world war vents are taking 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 moscow that took place this morning. i'm agin 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 part 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. here they come here they come now it is the big boys and that big toys. look at the furrows of diesel coming off these tanks that's the armada these are

the back once a preemie to the right that's the terminator. the stones of red square like 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 park the thing. there's a thunderous noise i don't know how many of you it should be. but you can feel it through your body. the two ninety five and. piers as nato has come to call them i'm not a hundred percent sure where the you get this she has shards of these aircraft

through you know a camera lens but they're enormously sometimes defying reason george allen the things that the. plot. little crumbs controversial pick for cia director gina hospital is being grilled with a senate confirmation hearing over her alleged involvement in torture of the agency's facilities she insisted that under her leadership torture in the cia would 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 given the republican party's narrow majority hassels confirmation might not go so smoothly she'll definitely need democrats on our side considering two major factors number one senator rand paul is expected to vote against her and to senator mccain's not going to be there to vote but at today's hearing there was some very clear opposition to hostile but those who were skeptical were concerned about her prior involvement with the cia's enhanced interrogation techniques which many describe as a torture program but human rights organizations have even called upon the public to reach out to their representatives and oppose her nomination but first some background on the controversy has will reportedly ran a cia prison in thailand where these techniques were used and she's accused of destroying tapes that documented these interrogations but president trump seems to

have no qualms with her questionable history in fact he's even praised her for being quote tough on terror so as you can guess torture and morality were the main topics of discussion at today's hearing do you believe the program in terms that you can interrogate 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 the answer the question. and i think i've answered the question if not the hearing was disrupted twice by protesters who took issue with this and they were immediately silenced and then removed from the premises the

first protester screamed bloody jena a nickname that the press often use. please please remove work. you've. done that god. god was. the second protester wasn't a random human rights activist it was actually rape make governor a veteran cia officer who served in the agency for decades but since his retirement he's been an active critic of torture and more specifically the agency's use of torture during his disruption he attempted to ask a question but then he was forcibly removed by capitol police let's check out what happened. or was. we. always going to. take

a very very you know. it's unclear whether or not trump support will be enough for an easy confirmation but we'll just have to see what happens. let's see i think veteran that you just saw being removed from the senate hearing ray mcgovern was one of the people we asked for common knowledge about trump's choice of gina hospital to be the head of the cia and here's what he told us back then. sheena has problem was in charge of the blacks right in thailand where she not only water boarded and otherwise tortured people who were brought there in two thousand and two and around then but she destroyed the evidence she destroyed the videotapes that showed how these torture sessions including waterboarding were carried out in other words if you destroy evidence if you extract inquiries then you can move right ahead and i remember my friend john kiriakou who is persecuted and prosecuted

and served two years jail time for what for revealing torture and not for doing it he commented when cina hash bell was named deputy director he commented that this is really really bad what will list say to the troops in the ranks it will say you can violate laws it will take care of you it's time for a woman to head the cia just not this woman i think she's probably the single worst pick in all of washington d.c. has personally i worked for gina haskell i don't care if gina haskell's a man or a woman or a combination of the two she's not right for this job 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's that was just nonsensical. tom's decision to withdraw from the iranian nuclear deal has sparked

a wave of protest in tehran furious demonstrators burned the stars and stripes and photographs of the u.s. president is even a symbol of protest inside the country's parliament itself and pays burned the u.s. flag right in the chamber with vocal support from fellow lawmakers from quitting the nuclear deal trump vowed to impose the toughest sanctions on tehran. by. 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 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 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 two men to preserve it we expect the rest of the international community to continue to do its part to that on t.v. but it continues to be fully implemented but the sake of our own collective security together with the rest of the international community we were preserved this nuclear deal. we don't 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 no actually abandon its obligations under the joint

comprehensive plan of action on the iranian nuclear program and repose 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 of the. 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 what 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 in 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 the greenman 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 mark crone and the german chancellor merkel go to the united states and are completely ignored sundstrom point of those most in favor of scrapping the nuclear agreement has been israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who as we heard earlier is currently in moscow he recently gave a rather theatrical powerpoint presentation that decried the deal that you know he must praise the u.s. president's decision. israel is opposed to the look you do from the store because we say that rather than blocking the wrong to bomb the dealers you preview runs to

an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs israeli influence is absolutely key here trump cited netanyahu is kind of used cars the 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 you clear watchdog the international atomic energy agency has confirmed that iran is all nearing its commitments to the dream of the signatories are also vying to fulfill their obligations despite the u.s. withdrawal so that's a quick look back at how that agreement was put together. it took nine years of talks numerous attempts and was even days of meetings. we're speaking. the

e.u. u.s. russia china and iran had to overcome their trust issues. raised. they believe it was even possible. to be able to destroy and yet it happened a diplomatic breakthrough a true success after a decade norm standoff. one country though was happy i think. that. for a while he was the one on the zone until they knew going into the white house the worst deals i've ever seen and the disaster is still one of the dumbest details one of the worst deals ever heard was the iran deal i'm all for agreements but that was a bad one first came decertifying the day 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. went even further threatening to pull out of the day altogether be a total terminations that's a very real possibility some would say that's a greater possibility israel was jubilant they're trying to bamboozle the entire world and birdland the president well enough without the e.u. trying 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 true success was it all for nothing. controversial white helmet scroope praised by the west as a rescue team working in syria has been guaranteed continued support by the british

prime minister to resume. last week the trumpet ministration froze the u.s. funding with thousands of civilian lives at risk will the prime minister stick 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 so doing they are as he says doing this in a difficult conditions they are incredibly brave to be continuing that work we do support them we will continue to support them and my rival fan the international development secretary will be looking at the level of that support in the future while 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 u.s. government to decide to cut their funding for the white helmets and so the question well what would the british government be looking to do to plug vats gap now it's interesting that 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 life saving activities as it's been put but not everybody is a fan of the white helmets that we've been repeated allegations that they have been . linked to al qaida tied groups and that they have 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're purely a humanitarian group and that they have no links to any extremist groups all the like but it's interesting they were founded by a former british army soldier a former master by the name of james mystery yet and so it seems that with this latest pledge by the u.k. government to look into plugging that funding gap the links between britain and the white helmets looks set to continue. news of that's coming your way in half an

hour's time see them. when lawmakers manufacture consent to consistency of public will. when the remain close is to protect them so. when the flame of clear your own lives and neither will most of the. time we can all middle of the room sit. to listen to the real musicians.

who. are trapped away is anti american and anti-democratic and we can look at that quite plainly by understanding the stock price approach rather it was that response 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 wrong see a coupon clippers and nickel and dime or they add nothing to the economy. for more than thirty years peter sick soul from austria has been searching for
