occupied by the germans by the end of one nine hundred forty one. the most notorious and outrageous massacre took place september twenty ninth and thirtieth nineteen forty one in babi yar kiev. of the city of kiev and its vicinity must appear on monday september twenty ninth by eight o'clock in the morning. bring documents money and valuables and also warm clothing linen and cetera. they need not follow this order and are found elsewhere will be shot. thirty three thousand seven hundred seventy one jews were killed in this two day operation of the nazis and ukrainian militia. another outrageous massacre was carried out by the ukrainian insurgent army and the bond era faction of the organization of ukrainian nationalists in german occupied polish foligno and

eastern between one nine hundred forty three and one nine hundred forty four this genocide of poles was led by me call eleven thirty five thousand to sixty thousand people in vali nya and twenty five to forty thousand eastern. fell victim to this massive ethnic cleansing operation. sensing the inevitable loss of the german troops the organization of ukrainian nationalists who gave up on their former ally and began fighting equally against the germans and the soviet forces. in january nine hundred forty three u.s.s.r. troops started pushing the nazis back liberating one part of ukraine after another . western ukraine was the last ukrainian region held by the germans finally being liberated in october of one nine hundred forty four. bands continue to wage

their guerrilla war against the soviet regime carrying out bloody raids on ukrainian villages and towns and leaving behind chaos and casualties. this war went on until the middle of the one nine hundred fifty s. when the last collaborators were either detained or fled the country. on may seventh one thousand nine hundred forty five germany unconditionally surrendered to the allies ukraine remained a part of the soviet union feel its. the peace after the second world war was short lived. the united states and the soviet union nations who allied together along with england to defeat the nazis tragically became foes as the cold war began.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten by color crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trades per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

the united states has always had tools to use in its tax on other countries. economic sanctions are are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries which are talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country because. we have a responsibility for the home. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there would be chaos.

the era of political and military tensions between the us and the u.s.s.r. lasted for nearly forty five years keeping humanity under the constant threat of nuclear war. in this battle the united states never lost sight of ukraine's importance. the u.s. intelligence kept a close eye on ukrainian nationalists organizations as a possible source of counter intelligence against the soviet union. cia documents that just recently have been declassified chos strong ties between u.s. intelligence and ukrainian nationalists since one thousand nine hundred forty six from the cia agency report it is clear that they were not mistaken about the nature of ukrainian nationalists organizations or their leader stefan bond dare i himself

according to an o.s.'s report of september one thousand nine hundred forty five bundy era had earned a fierce reputation for conducting a reign of terror during world war two after the second world war bundy era and other ukrainian nazi leaders fled to europe where the cia helped them hide. the cia later inform the immigration and naturalization service that it had concealed steffen bond darragh and other ukrainians from the soviets the operations involving ukrainians continued for many years the nuremberg trials of one thousand nine hundred forty five in one nine hundred forty six brought the political economic and military leaders of fascist germany to justice and revealed to the world the monstrous face of naziism and the crimes they committed but the ukrainian nazis were spared the same fate and some were even granted indulgences by the cia by nine hundred fifty four the agency excused the illegal activities of the zero un

security branch. in the name of cold war necessity in one nine hundred forty nine nicola levitt the man responsible for the massacres in the lena was moved to the united states where he died in one thousand nine hundred nine without ever being investigated or pursued as a war criminal the cia moved to protect ukrainian nationalist leader nicola legged from criminal investigation by the immigration and naturalization service in one nine hundred fifty two perhaps pantera lost his use to the us or maybe k.g.b. agents outsmarted the cia but in one nine hundred fifty nine step on bond era the leader of the ukrainian nationalists was killed in munich where he was hiding under the name of stefan pople it would be fair to say that pantera became a major symbol of ukrainian nationalism by sheer chance for he was neither its only leader nor its most powerful one dimitrov don't solve was the father of the far right to tell a tarion doctrine in ukraine andriy melnyk was the leader of another faction of the

un romance you have it was a general of the ukrainian insurgent army and others contributed greatly to the movement blunder was dangerous ideology suppressed by the communist authorities but supported by external forces never really died the seeds of ukrainian nationalism were passed from generation to generation unfortunately it was just a matter of time before they would once again blossom. in one nine hundred fifty four ukraine's territory was expanded even more when nikita khrushchev the leader of the u.s.s.r. and ukrainian himself generously gave the crimean region to ukraine. historians would argue about the legitimacy of this transfer for many years to come and sixty years after khrushchev's gift dramatic new events would take place in crimea was around the world are on ukraine as a crisis in crimea continues dozens of heavily armed men seize government buildings

in crimea shut you crazy. just shrug your shoulders and say ok crimea is lost and the old arguments would heat up once again. the cold war would heat up and cool down by turns while both rivals were obsessive leave building up military capacity the turning point took place when the new era perestroika came to the u.s.s.r. with its new leader mikhail gorbachev in the middle of the one nine hundred eighty s. . perestroika meant restructuring towards liberalisation and democratisation it certainly had a positive impact on the international situation astonishing news from east germany by the chairman authorities have said in essence of the berlin wall doesn't mean anything anymore. but inside the u.s.s.r. the weakening of kremlin control had different consequences. in ukraine

a nationalistic political organization. or people's movement emerged in one nine hundred eighty nine due to this mild openness. they advocated for independence of ukraine from the u.s.s.r. and became an incubator for leaders of ukrainian nazis. in one thousand nine hundred one one of them any book founded svoboda an openly radical nationalist party preaching the good old principles of bondage era. per jew crane from the jews in russia ukraine for ukrainians and so on his statements got him fifth place in the simon vs and thought center top ten anti semitic world leader rankings of two thousand and twelve. it also

sadly attracted numerous phone. dimitry are founded another extreme right organization treason or trident in one nine hundred ninety four. in april two thousand and thirteen became an assistant to a member of parliament from the opposition party who died. later that same year he would become the leader of the most radical ukrainian nazi group the right sector. laundry paro be would soon appear leading a whole army of ultra nationalist warriors. and the torch marches would once again light up the streets of ukrainian cities.

but. the world drastically changed in august one thousand nine hundred ninety one when the u.s.s.r. de facto ceased to exist and the global political map welcomed many newcomers ukraine one of them in modern history it was the first time ukraine was truly independent and all on its own. the red flag came down over the kremlin tonight as president gorbachev resigned and or to an end seven decades of communist rule in the soviet union. the years after the disintegration of the u.s.s.r. became known as the crazy ninety's in all the post soviet territories. he's leaving behind fifteen independent states which share only a disastrous economy and an uncertain future after having been under a government controlled economy the free market dramatically changed the rules of the game new business has emerged instantly in the firm. all the guards were born

overnight. the former country with no class division suddenly became stratified the chosen few became rich while the rest had to fight to survive. the civil as opposed to pushing as they see mr herschel as. they what does that say. you know she's still with us let us focus this to win using your feet in the water when you least in your cell as opposed to pollution is a. good. a list in your menu to do a little good reason you know if you know initially and you join in as many of you know dumbass i will. post the system might be good you should listen to it and i'm just impressed i'm going to bushel things when i eventually you will still at the appraisal out of a socialist slush a chicago post the people's growing discontent made ukraine more vulnerable to outside forces and a new kind of warfare was launched one not known before the color revolutions.

illustrators clashed with police hundreds of thousands protesting the results of the election and calling for a new vote. ukraine has had to color revolutions in its twenty four years of independence in two thousand and four crowds of people descended upon kiev marking the start of the orange revolution. at that time ukraine became once again a battlefield of two forces the russian and western governments the culmination of this conflict took place during the presidential elections in november of two thousand and four. the two major candidates western backed victoria yuschenko and russian leaning victoria on a covert almost equally shared the votes of ukrainians by the way calling viktor yuschenko western backed is not an exaggeration. his wife. katherina yuschenko is

a former u.s. state department official and worked in the white house during the reagan administration the division was along geographic lines traditionally russian eastern ukraine voted for young age while western ukraine chose use janko by the announced result viktor yuschenko lost a victory on a covert each but thousands of people didn't agree with it and they came to the central square of kiev on the twenty second of november. the situation received wide news coverage of the country's election commission ignored reports of fraud declaring kremlin backed victory the winner international politicians such as former general secretary of nato. became frequent guests in kiev initiating negotiations between parties in a faltering odds with a colleague. got. the results of the negotiations however were often

reached only on paper thus you shan't go never told the supporters to stop blocking government buildings in central kiev. and therefore these nonviolent and very orange protests lasted for a month during which time the previous election results were no marred by massive corruption and new elections were announced an important nuance just three months before viktor yuschenko became a victim to a mysterious and still unsolved poisoning but it didn't prevent him from winning in the new election. though as we shall soon see there was much more than just the people's will that led to this victory this peaceful revolution and its leader were warmly welcomed by the international community but the euphoria didn't last long yuschenko its government completely failed with reforms and lost its chance to establish democracy instead descending into infighting viktor yuschenko was not

reelected for a second term but at. the end of his presidency he had the time to make one last gift to his supporters from western ukraine. g.m.a. such an ethically modify do business in the system kids in the food industry in the one nine hundred ninety s. . my son is taking that and nights and what does not have to do with g.m.'s.

love trysts just. didn't have the shadows almost swapped. life is a chemical plant least khaliq. listen closely to service like the beer in the street. is pricing in the runs of. possible temptations that. can occur to scientists truth to see in context really awful on the human race to sign a surface to free of g.m.'s in crisis eight which may even be able seem awfully pos the points of never send. we have to judge countries are trying to lead their set directives case per case so we need more objective but the reality is. you know media tries to get the facts but also believe. their world view so this is where. social media and direct communication

comes in unfortunately it's sometimes called fake sometimes but it's sometimes a different worldview. powerful people. in some american cities the police. people who walk on the street to be united states are at risk from the very people who are supposed to protect people and are afraid of police them if. you can see something happening and this is why i don't want to. call the cops. chasing the. dream goes on the trigger you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else is going to. get unfortunately around

around here we are. told from. true. in the stories that shapes the week the opening of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem is not by a mass violent protest sixty palestinians dead it's america votes against an international probe into the gaza killing. relations between the e.u. and us are tested again after the european union says that it remains committed to the. very green that washington quit earlier this month. the latest official so far the. day feat of engineering europe's longest bridge connecting crimea to russia.

thanks for joining as always a pleasure to have your company this is r.t. and tonight. this week the u.s. officially moved its embassy in israel to jerusalem sparking new tensions in the region as palestinians also claim the city to be their own it sparked protest of a sense which had become the deadly sphere it's a. little. small. little. but imo that little that we extend a hand in friendship to israel the palestinians and to all of their neighbors may

there be peace we pray for the peace of yours. across the. atlantic . the opening of the embassy went out as shed jewel despite the ongoing protests including outside the gates of the new compound our correspondent witnessed the scene. bangui collins has gathered there protesting against him to see meet the needs radio police are trying to keep the crowd at bay why you have.

i'm here to pose a decision by the u.s. administration to relocate there have a seat in the heart of the contested city in the heart of the city for thirty five to forty percent of its residents living on the rocky patient most and are not citizens of any state in the night of basic rights and i'm here with a group called all that's left for the diaspora jews against the occupation we're here because we oppose terms and to see who we think it's playing with the lives of israelis and palestinians alike in our lives and if it is not a game. i'm a tb and israeli parliamentarian while what it means what do you think about the whole incident we are. in a demonstration which has been licensed by those in the police but immediately after we arrived they attacked us attacked a member of the knesset just because we had it been for the palestinian for them and then they at that and pushed us to the back we are here to see that jerusalem

east is ok if i did it today it could be the capital of the state the funniest and the tensions are definitely running high hair as you can see this scuffles and clashes and whipping push pull it and have it kind of out of anger and now we have a. gun what have let up in fact right behind us the heart of the firefight up to make deals that uppish it is pretty well i don't think i've. come. across all of this coming as the embassy just across the road is opening so while the mood is witnessing crum pictures of a historic occasion are featured we see them in the city opening just across the road are these kind of scenes i'm sitting where there's a lot of anger and out of frustration and. lots of disappointment that the american government when to hear what the smear is the israeli army has commented on its handling of the protest insisting that it followed standard procedures acting in

self-defense against palestinian protesters but also says it used live rounds in a selective manner both israelis and palestinians have longstanding statehood bid to jerusalem we take a look at what. jerusalem is a city that's been a point of contention for nearly a thousand years ever since the first crusaders arrived to drive the muslim population away for nearly two centuries the area was governed by christian congress under the name of the kingdom of jerusalem but the end of the thirteenth century had been a crusade of the holy land and up under muslim control with so much turbulent religious history today the area holds significance for christians jews and muslims alike all regard different parts of the old city to be their holy sites and since the formation of the state of israel in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight israel considers jerusalem to be its capital the subsequent conflict with their arab neighbors saw israel capture and annex the entire city of jerusalem the move has never been recognized by the united nations stands firm on the idea of

establishing the two state solution where israel and palestine exist independently so by president trump announcing moving the embassy to jerusalem he's underlined that the u.s. recognizes the holy city to be the capital of israel for the international community value goes against the notion that any change in the city status should come through negotiations and not a unilateral action. so america's allies have criticised the decision to relocate the embassy calling it a breach of international law also said that it inflames an already tense situation some of that criticism was forced at an emergency session of the un security council on tuesday although the u.s. representative insisted the embassy move did not undermine the peace process. it has no bearing on jerusalem's holy sites it does not prejudge whatever the parties might negotiate in a peace agreement it does not under mind the prospects for peace in any way and yet

first son this is supposedly a cause for violence the un human rights council voted to launch an international probe into the mass deaths on the israeli gaza border washington condemned the resolution for the u.s. envoy suggesting the international organization has more important issues to deal with but as killable been explains now because these accusations may be a double edged sword. the day that the american embassy was officially moved to jerusalem it was a day with great jubilation for american and israeli officials what a glorious day remember this moment. but across the palestinian territories it couldn't have been more different in beleaguered gaza there was nothing but suffering and chaos our greatest hope is for peace the united states is prepared to support peace negotiations going to states is prepared to support a peace agreement in every way that we can i don't think it hurts the peace plan.

the peace plan will be introduced at the appropriate time there was certainly not any criticism of any of israel's extreme use of force by anyone in the trumpet ministration hamas terrorist backed by iran have incited attacks against israeli security forces and infrastructure so israel is not responsible for shooting mostly peaceful palestinian protesters some of whom were just children shot down by their own soldiers but if you're a place israel with syria suddenly nikki haley's heart bleeds for the dead in far less clear cut situations. yesterday morning. we awoke to pictures to children being carried in the arms of desperate parents yes all the talk about human rights does not apply to palestinian protesters they do not get america's support because they're not protesting in the right country. big protests

in iran the people who finally gets in wise as to how the money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism looks like they will not take it any longer do us is watching very closely for human rights violations with israel all bets are off on world press freedom day weather now it was all about championing the rights of journalists that is until somebody mentioned gaza we see. all too often that journalists continue to take great risks to pursue this important work would you also condemn the recent deaths of journalists journalists in the gaza strip look there are unfortunately a lot of journalists who die all around the world i'm not going to be able to list every single death of a journalist and we understand that israel has a right to defend itself back in april yasser move taja palestinian photo journalist who was wearing a jacket clearly marked press was shot by israeli sniper now if this was intentional it could possibly constitute a war crime by israel but heather nauert thinks it was self-defense either way she

doesn't have time to talk about every journalist who's been killed and apparently his death doesn't fit in with washington's agenda caleb mop and artsy new york. the rift between the and the u.s. is deepening over the iran nuclear deal brussels energy chief is reassured to around the block remains committed to the agreement if they would came during his first visit to the run since donald trump pulled washington out of the accord the european union did we were going to. move the united states this impromptu we were told from the joint complacency of. old. there was absolutely unanimity among us because of the government that union will defend the seventy men will stick to the commitments make them to the.
