of the deal. over a million people took part in an emotional regiment monch in moscow on wednesday the event on those on commemorates those killed in the great patriotic war that was told in two thousand and one since then it has become a key part of the day celebrations around the world hardly any family in russia was left on affected by the great patriotic war in which around one in every six soviet citizens lost that life. or trying to was marching with the crowd. the biggest and the most emotional event perhaps on the calendar in this country is making moscow cheer and cry at the same time i can tell you that this as a feeling that makes your heart so it is truly incredible the people are carrying the portraits and i can tell you that three years ago i made myself a promise that at the next four years every year i'm going to be carrying

a portrait of one of my four great grandfathers and here we have the evidence of that as my mother's grandfather he won a medal during the second world war for liberating konigsberg which is now known as cullinan dragon the thing is that there are heartbreaking stories behind all the portraits that you can see around me and again there are hundreds of thousands of them and some people are carrying posters like this but i saw elderly people who can barely walk holding tiny photos that are so small but they are here too and it is very important for them to take part in this march as well back in the days there were no e-mails no watch sabse no chatting apps they were lying writing letters to their relatives during these massively difficult times of the war.

tiller's know. how much of this my suction of them. later took her to see the loop of the struggle. for forty. three point four wasn't my thumb i could ship each. of you and i'm in them. just for you and you're here. for her and them. for scorched but that's ever minute or home and. at the sun go.

to her version of. the north shore course for. spoke. her cover. up a little. for folks. that go in their. hearts are broken and. yes i shoot off faster than the prospect of america from this round now but the men do that not sure who. put us on one.

and this is out international during the victory day celebrations one veteran was almost knocked over but was ultimately helped by the president himself a war hero was seen being forced out of the way by members of the president's security team but i have heard and saw what was happening and immediately stepped in and invited the veteran to war with him and we caught up with that i had a four year old and he told us his story he did 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 your program continues in just.

they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to present. to the press this is what the three of them will be. interested always in the water. with us today the controversial white helmets group praised by the west as a rescue team working in syria has been continued support by the british prime minister it's a reason why it's off to washington's decision to pull the plug on syrian aid funding which does include the white helmet. last week the trumpet ministration froze their 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. and can i say to the honorable gentleman we recognize the very important and valuable work that the white house mates are doing they are as he says doing this in be difficult conditions they are incredibly brave to be continuing that work we do support them we will continue to support them and i rise on the family international development section we will be looking at the level of that support in the future while the issue was raised today during prime minister's questions particular one about the white helmets came from a member of the labor party and particularly asking the question because of course the u.s. government to decide to cut their funding for the white helmet and so the question well what would the british government be looking to do to plug that gap now it's interesting that the u.s. 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 the 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 there have 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 house continued to maintain that they're 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 master nouri by the name of james messire yeah 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 we spoke to political analyst mike raddy who's been to syria himself he told us the case against the white helmets is abundantly clear. british people have something serious to consider here unless they've been sealed in a magically sealed bubble of the mainstream media or they haven't read a book in their lives they must have their doubts about this group now there's been

enough written about them people that we spoke to in aleppo last year they called them our news was fire brigade most people did not actually heard of them this year in aleppo we had one man say they were bad actors so the so there they have a reputation of being of doing the staged rescues. but the revelations from people in east ghouta there were been liberated just dissin the past month shed more deferrals lot on this group i think the people in england should and britain should be asking themselves do they need to go on to some kind of tax troika and we'll start with holding funds from the government because they're going to find themselves on the wrong side of the law just by paying taxes it's a very very strange situation for theresa may to put us all in. israel has revoked the work permit for human rights watch is director in the country already explained the decision was based on a dossier that was compiled on activities over the course of a decade czechia those that work involves reporting on israel and the palestinian

territories he has held his post since april last year where israel has given him fourteen days to leave the country we spoke to the ousted director who told us that the real motive behind the decision is to disturb his organization's work. the reality is all of the allegations in the dossier relate to human rights activities many of which took place years ago before i joined human rights watch when i was a student in university and the reality remains that even according to the interior ministry neither i nor human rights watch promote boycotts human rights watch is an organization that covers over ninety countries across the world we've won a nobel peace prize you know for efforts we document abuses not only by israel but also by the palestinian authority and by how mass this is the first time of course human rights watch that israel has ordered human rights official out of the country who've been working here for nearly three decades i met

a fifty plus year occupation characterized by systematic rights abuse and institutional discrimination so the real aim is clear it's to muzzle dissent human rights watch has commented on the situation it says this is not about the director himself but rather about shackling of the organizations activities in israel but also said that it supports the director and will fight for the of the decision to be reversed. again so as the organization will push on with its work regardless of the optical. barring me from operating here will not stop our reporting we'll continue to document rights abuses and be vocal about the right situation on the ground but i think it's a very worrying signal guarding where israel is and is going we intend to challenge a decision before an israeli district court. and we intend to continue to raise pressure not only to reverse this decision but also to rescind the law that

calls for any entry of activists who fully anticipate that that decision or your first and then i will be permitted term in the country. the spokeswoman for america's first lady has lashed out at the media for unfairly attacking melania trump the u.s. president's wife was. unveiled her initiative aimed at helping children let's take a quick look at exactly what happened. today i'm very excited to announce the best and awareness campaign dedicated to the most valuable and fragile among us i was. to announce the best. this is this is

joining me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics business i'm sure business i'll see you then. it's apparent you know that army is not your crane or georgia and that our experience is unique to certain extent but we're building on the success and the failures of past efforts to address the issues that you're talking about so in many ways we have a leg up on anything best been tried in the past this is not as a whole or a democrat or a grassroots effort by the armenian people for the armenian people. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were

a south and taken your last turn. to cut up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry suddenly i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never again like it said one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters my mind it's consumed with death this one to us i speak to you now because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker.

for more than thirty years peter sixfold from austria has been searching for information about soviets who fell in austria cheering world war two. his work is important because the false vacation of world war two history has reached unprecedentedly high levels some pages of being rewritten while others are simply

being deleted. it. mentions. jesus or god like you fall in the red king. if you will become a scene. in time for about the. basic ivory is leaking that sort of data leaking all it mentions and with a gets through the roads are slick. his house new grass is now

a repository for documents and they're processing. his unique databases allowed hundreds of russians to trace the burial sites of their fathers grandfathers and great grandfathers peter's magnum opus is this book it contains data on about sixty thousand subi at citizens buried in austria. that will see. this for data at all to me over here. wolf. if i see makes immediate india's most men invade the southeast. indian i think if i live in d.c. . and i mean called. finding burial sites is complicated because you need to scrutinize maps of the frontlines reports and burial documents you sometimes have to scour through several hectares of land and it's even harder to find the names of unknown soldiers because truth seeker of truth for she then there

for me i couldn't pin you corrupt against the soviets i was a counsellor even so it's only on. own steam a fraud i said i thought smith was very big give always been out for granted. with the help of the austrian black cross which peter is a member of the graves of soviet soldiers are found and taken care of. the statue of a soviet soldier in the center of vienna is one of the most beautiful and well maintained in europe. but here is an austrian history book. was as part of core take. on he can start and then be staying said standing start poor now sought to go on.

that become deal you do want to see. the other facility to. be going to be invited sold august in. into this can be given for me other figure in freedom. there are some in the west who would prefer to drop this matter and never bring the war again. there's no need to remember inspector to forget this girl from nightmare.

a symbol of the red army according to tradition such stars are placed on the graves of soviet soldiers as a token of respect and recognition. warmly you know if i thought that i get people. much useful feed. me up but they're there because they are to me. yeah yeah a dozen years ago i thought yes over there and that's what a couple of warsaw university students think and new wonder since most european textbooks saying exactly that there is not a single mention of the fact that pre-war poland in one thousand nine hundred eighty four was the first european country to sign a non-aggression pact with hitler the pilsen skee hitler backed and poland the

quote victim of russia unquote acted before the official start of world war two. the munich agreement from me to germany to annex parts of czechoslovakia hundred cohen between nine hundred thirty eight and nine hundred thirty nine a fact that's not included in the official history of world war two. however this military aggression could be considered the beginning of the. poland and hungary invaded czechoslovakia before hitler invaded corners is hidden as the beginning of the war is because it's very embarrassing because. on and hungry work and already with the nazis in czechoslovakia they invaded it and then double chamberlain comes and signs the freeman and france and england basically threw czechoslovakia under the bus and they don't really want to remember that part you see but they just abandon them and again we have had been for stalin coming on the eastern front. lisa encouraged by this sick sense deputy foreign minister

again claimed that in the forthcoming with russia poland along with its early in japan would be allied with germany and they would divide among themselves the huge piii of the suv cuny and as he can afford it. they were planning to occupy land from the baltic sea to the blank sea and to annex the western territories of the u.s.s.r. . but hitler had his sights set on them unpruned wasn't included in the plans germany's bank to take. europe looked on in silence at this difficult moment having lost in faith in the west moscow move troops to poland. on fungus the twenty third nine hundred thirty nine unknown aggression pact was signed between the u.s.s.r. and germany the moment so everyone trope banked the us says sun's position was that it was entering eastern europe to pertain to slavek brotherhoods ukrainians and bene russians from fascist invaders.
