across and several spots across more because such as you can victory park fireworks will be illuminating the night skies tomorrow and of the seventy fifth anniversary celebrations it's now down the level in the crowd so you can see people wearing symbols of victory day such as this st print them a sign a member in some respects and say when people carrying the red connotations when the name and down of the area sites across and mostly it's well but now people will be flocking to try to get the best seats in the house and try and get the. lights open at the fireworks around thing that's night skies i've managed to grab quite a good seats a nice getting a good view of most case skies over safely you'll be able to catch the colors on your screens. there are a few families in russia who weren't affected by the war and in their own are a special munch known as the immortal regiment is held every year this time a new record was set as more than a million people gathered in moscow and over ten million across russia

correspondence follows the march from the heart of the crowds in the russian capital. but it's all about the people whose faces are in these maybe maybe portraits are out there getting here that harang that's also another remarkable feature of this march again back to the people and the portraits they survived years of war and this is in memory of all of them a few years ago i promise to myself that in the next four years. every time during 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 is first defended his motherland to make the nazis retreat and then he got a medal for liberating the city that's now known as cullinan grads 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 red square and given how this march began a twenty twelve with just a few thousand people running in a small city in siberia it's now a road to a truly international event with millions of people marching worldwide cities across europe madrid london lisbon and across the atlantic united states and thailand in israel truly a global event so all of those people i found out more about my family as well my great grandmother in media all going to be a doctor a military surgeon she actually participated in the battle of moscow she was on the

front lines here for many months had searing that she bottle before transferring further back into russia where she was the only surgeon for this ship for quite some time in the form of hundreds of operations later becoming all to reset the sort of means alludes to town in the republic of tatarstan of the russian president has been participating in the marches well see twenty fifteen a lot of your posts are alongside him today the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu who's holding a photo of all the other five sort of the participants of the second world war and hero of the soviet union just goes 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 you can still. i kept some of the finds to take a chill to believe the family history is just one of them that we managed to get.

the sudden thought. of issues to be certainly a better place to. move into it is for us us to change. money given the mean is one euro six i never considered running newser but if you actually come. by culture using me here can you bob i do a. sumo sky you know sky the model of the she's too skinny and not to let him come to lunch with elizabeth was the. dirty couple uncovered the. phil campbell. look at the interest of the unemployed simiane since it said to touch it to the chick at two thirty pm the storm.

should come if she could know when the. two took sick to my recent us to. get. cancelled even the cooler is not for miscalls i want ya email from me. and i am only ntozake were there when this should be packing. put acts in this most. clever woman. mortal regiments also marched across the globe to honor the memory of those who were involved in the conflict events have taken place everywhere from the streets

of new york to the georgian capital tbilisi warsaw and even kuwait city crowds also gathered as far away as australia with those in sydney commemorating their relatives well for many in russia the centerpiece of the victory day celebrations was the military parade through red square. o'dowd. i'm agin bands get underway with marching bands from all corners of the wasik spans of the russian federation.

we 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 ones here i am preaching right that's the terminator. the stones of red square life eat 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. he has a thunderous knowing i don't know if many of us have. any focus 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 a hundred percent sure where the you get this she has size of these aircraft through you know a camera lens but they're enormous they sometimes defy reason not to calibrate the things that the. slide he

. one camera also caught an unusual scene a red square one point a war hero was seen being forced out of the way by members of the presidential security team but the president saw what was happening and immediately invited a veteran to work with him r.t. caught up with the man and asked him to tell us his story. the president was there he has two bodyguards two big lads i was walking behind them the president knows me we've met before and he gave me a sign to come over i went the guards wanted to push me back but the president didn't let them they didn't touch me any more they understood that the president knows me and i know him well so we went together to the tomb of the unknown soldier and to the kremlin my rank is major general i was called up to the army before my

seventeenth birthday after six months of training i was sent to the front line when i got there moscow had already been liberated so i was sent to small units i took part in the battle for smolensk i was just a soldier for that battle i got the medal for bravery. and there's plenty more of the picture day coverage at r.t. dot com and this morning news after the break. it's. still. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted over checked. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to brits.

have to go right to be precise as to what the forecast for you in the morning can be good good i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. welcome back donald trump's decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal has

sparked a wave of protest in the iranian capital tehran hereis demonstrators burned american flags and photos of the u.s. president and there was a similar protests inside the country's parliament m.p.'s burned a flag in the chamber with vocal support from fellow make us apart from quitting the nuclear deal donald trump has also vowed to impose 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 cordon 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 determined to preserve it we expect the rest of the international community to continue to do its part to that anti that it continues to be fully implemented but the sake of 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 you know 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 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 this be very clear to mr tom did not simply exit did. he violated his. written obligations under the terms and that is

a delicate important point that has been raised by. others and this might go to an international court of justice. legal reforms the u.n. security council. well another fervent supporter of scrapping the nuclear agreement is israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu who as we heard earlier is currently in moscow he recently gave a dramatic power point presentation decrying the deal and netanyahu has praised trump's decision israel is opposed the look you do from the start because we said that rather than blocking the iran spoke to a bomb the deal actually paves the runs 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 when u.k. a watchdog to the international atomic energy agency has confirmed iran is honoring its commitments to the deal other signatures are also vying to fulfill their obligations despite the u.s. withdrawal let's take a look back at how the agreement was put together. it took nine years of talks numerous attempts and was even days of meetings. we're seeing. the u.s. russia china and iran had to overcome their trust issues. are racist but they believe it was even possible.

to be able to mystery and yet it happened a diplomatic breakthrough a true success after a decade long standoff in. one country di who wasn't happy i think. that. for a while he was all on his own until the new guy came to the white house is the worst sales 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 deal we cannot and will not make this certification you took it personally president of the united states as many posts not this one trump went even further threatening to pull out of the deal altogether i fear total 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 true success was it all for nothing. donald trump's controversial choice for cia director has being grilled at a senate confirmation hearing over her alleged involvement in torturing political prisoners here jeanne has been insists on the her leadership torture in 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 confirmation might not go so smoothly today's hearing there was some very clear opposition to hostile but those who are 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 housefull reportedly ran a cia prison in thailand where these techniques were used and she's accused of destroying tapes that documented these interrogations but the president 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 prove 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. to ever please please remove.

god was. our. the second protester wasn't a random human rights activist it was actually rate make govern 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 she attempted to ask a question but then he was forcibly removed by capitol police. or was. or. was going to get your thank. you very much. it's unclear whether or not trump support will be enough for an easy confirmation but we'll just have to see what happens well becky munch on the cia veteran you just saw being removed from the senate hearing to

coleman's on trump's choice of jeana house bill seventy nine year old ray mcgovern is now in custody here's what he previously said to aunty. gina hash bill was in charge of the black sites 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 obstruct 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 or not for doing it he commented when cina hash bell was named deputy director he commented that this is really

really bad what will the shape of the troops in the ranks it will say you couldn't violate laws it will take care of you it geno has bill has had practically every senior position in the cia's headquarters she's currently the acting director of the cia i knew her when she was the chief of staff in the counterterrorism center she's been in the senior intelligence service for decades but i think that she's not qualified to lead the cia because the actions that she took during the dark period of the cia's torture program disqualify her the crime was on her part it was that she was doing this torture program not that the american people learned about it gina haskell had the opportunity to say the right thing that this was a dark period in u.s. history people made mistakes the program was immoral it was illegal it was unconstitutional she never said any of that. and

disputed syrian territory off the golan heights is on high alert the israeli military claims iranian forces based in syria have launched twenty missiles. at their positions there are also reports israeli air forces have returned fire the area has been a point of contention for decades between syria and israel locals were warned in advance to take refuge in bomb shelters tensions in the area have to magically increase since donald trump announced the u.s. would withdraw on the iran nuclear deal. i'll be back with the latest headlines in just over half an hour be one of more on all of our stories as watty dot com.

discipline to know that army is not for ukraine or georgia and that our experience is unique to certain extent and we're building on the success and the fielder's of past efforts to address the issues that you're talking about so in many ways we're you we have a leg up on anything that's been tried in the past this is not as a democrat a grassroots effort by the armenian people for the armenian people. lose their. homes. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. i'm barred chilton coming up today we spoke about president donald trump decision to withdraw from the iranian nuclear deal yesterday that just occurred actually as

parties to the agreement expressed regret and concern over mr trump's decision the three leaders pointed out that the agreement or j c.p.o. way was unanimously endorsed by the un security council in a resolution twenty twenty twenty two thirty one the resolution remains the binding international legal framework for the resolution of the dispute about iranian nuclear program the spat spilled over into business and economics says the newly credentialed us ambassador to germany richard grinnell a former fox news contributor tweeted within hours of taking office that quote german companies doing business in iran should wind down operations even maybe it lee the former german ambassador to the u.s. tweeted back never tell the host country what to do if you want to stay out of trouble so things are heating up and in the markets oil was up after trump's announcement with west texas intermediate trading north a seventy dollars per barrel today at nymex and brant crude trading in london up
