fifteen agreement. it's nine o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all to international live from our studio with me today we have all of our big stories of the day but first we start with our special victory day coverage a very warm welcome to the program what's not so long ago was a local grass roots tradition in a siberian city is now a victory day event held across russia and far beyond the immortal regiment of mont sees people walk holding portraits of their relatives who went through the war this year reported seven hundred thousand turned out in moscow to remember the sacrifices made almost every family in the soviet union was affected by the great patriotic war from losing loved ones in the fighting to ensuring an imagine.

conditions just to stay alive all correspondents trying to join the crowds watching in moscow. but nothing unites this country more then the immortal regiment march those who say that this victory parade is just saber rattling displays of what it should mark intimidation they need to be here and come in have a look at this because this is very much hard to describe the crowd of people is just absolutely analysts there was records broken last year every year in fact since this parade has gone on and it is just in comparable to anything one has ever seen as the biggest to my knowledge remembrance of event in russia in the world nothing quite like it all of this sort we have to stop guess why because there are just so many people and there is police here around and around me they have to direct the flow of the crowd because it is just so immense every time i see this i just don't understand when the flow of the crowd is going to stop it's endless it

always it can never stop surprising you and this is why the mortal regiment march and the capital of russia is so important people bearing photographs portrayed scouring metals of those who fought many of whom died in that war behind each one is a story no family left untouched when people print this portraits out when people flick through the family archives when they're the grandchildren great grandchildren great great grandchildren look at all that they just can't help wondering what's the what what's the story behind all these portraits this is how families unite all litteral people here over all generations of all colors creeds and races i've seen flags here from kazakhstan kid against bella rue small dover and it's also interesting how you know it's generations. my mother cried when i talked to her on

the phone about an hour ago this is her grandfather and what i'm doing right now is very special for my family because three years ago i made a promise to my family that for four consecutive victory days i'm going to carry the portraits of all my great grandfathers all four for the immortal regiment march and bob of move on here he is this man completes the choir ted so i'm happy to tell you that i kept my promise and this is why it's so heartwarming in some way or another some came back from the front some did not one person who did not was my great grandfather could do small to good and who died in ninety two to defending stalling but that was one of the key bottles of the great patriotic war schools here in russia we did a little bit of digging around in family background family history and we found out that off at the he separated from his family just before the war he actually part

of his new family hides a son my grandson my grandmother's cough brother they to this day had never met now both in their eighty's i thought what better way to pay tribute to could do says memory to all his sacrifice he bought my grandmother and a half brother long lost from russia and from latvia all know that automates together here this is what happened. to. her for the city to be stricken for growth. over to the therapists enough.

review your ears to hear what the laundry is to corners of all the. blood of the system i think i will need to get the fortune splats and it's similar to the exits when you do sell them more of a pristine system you identify. with and push all get over the falls out of feet if he were more than. a huge city should be on the. scene by the media did. he have a lot of us with of the evil of. sperm in there get the full of this concept

to give them. a solution that called analysis with agents of the week to you which england could discuss almost or. have in the idea that. even the full by nelson. group in the know would it's a. true theme to do kids even if you come violet soon the ballasts me unless you have a new minus the finches removed. or other other comments on your history for. the word destroy you do most of what did i jump all the way to. put deletes it gets to me most bits responding than you know about said thank you the swimming. in. the most to move over them about the police in the woods.

although it's been a day for millions of people all over russia to publicly pay tribute to their loved ones picture day is also a time to quietly remember the unimaginable suffering enjoyed by soviet families during the war.

one of the bloodiest battles of the conflict and in fact throughout history to play . and russia and stalin grabbed in what is now the ground it lasted for two hundred

days between nine hundred forty two and one hundred forty three and cost the red army over one million one hundred thirty thousand soldiers germany's losses even higher on these in the battle the nazi leadership declared a day of national mourning many historians see the battle of stalingrad as a watershed moment and one that dramatically altered the course of the war. even now harrowing reminders of the trauma inflicted by the war are emerging here's a letter that was uncovered with the remains of two soviet soldiers it never made it home. silly collab each to get the last one left i've been injured and will not last long.

but i will stay here i will die when i refused to give in to the enemy tell my wife that i was defending the motherland. was. we will win no matter what. was. eventually comrades was was. the victory parade on red square has for more than twenty years been a signature element of the celebrations on may the ninth watched by millions and attended by dignitaries the ips and most importantly russia's wartime veterans.

were held on the twentieth and the fortieth anniversary of the victory since one thousand nine hundred five military parades have been held annually. over the last few weeks in the build up to the day we thought you many touching stories like twenty four year old a veteran and he joined of resistance straight after graduating from school becoming a front line scout she sustained injuries that prevented her from having children later in life husband died a few years ago so now she's all alone and i ask people to send letters and postcards to mock victory day and their response it seems has been overwhelming. received gifts so could you just throw it to you and yours or the other that the world was created you could see at the. b.b.c.

because we were seeing you on the. b.b.c. there's the preacher that. these are the evil. predators who should speak this friend. who she says years and years. it's or she says. people. didn't write what. she preaches were the businesses. and statements. and. i see. what. she. says. it. was.

the pressure is mounting on europe but to save the iranian nuclear deal as leaders get down to talks about a summit in romania french president emanuel micron's stressed it would be washington to blame for toronto's nation to leave the treaty even though he believes that hard or twenty fifteen agreement need to carry. on from the very beginning france has been committed to the deal that was negotiated and signed the deal is not sufficient we would like to take into account iran's missile activities e.u. has released a statement saying that it strongly urge is iran to continue to implement its commitments as it has done until now it also says it rejects any ultimatums from tehran and says that it will assess iran's compliance with the deal what has already imposed fresh sanctions on tehran trump reiterated his need for

a fresh deal a fair deal as he called it and his secretary of state mike pompei o said that it's in iran that violating international norms the iranian regime's announcement that it intends to expand its nuclear program is in defiance of international norms and a blatant attempt to hold the world hostage its threat to renew nucular work that could shorten the time to develop a nuclear weapon on the schools the continuing challenge the iranian regime poses to peace and security worldwide well that was pompei air is a response to to ron's an announcement yesterday that it to would withdraw from certain parts of the iranian nuclear deal saying that china and russia had sixty days to protect iran's oil and banking sectors from u.s. sanctions all this threatens to. unravel what really was an agreement a diplomatic agreement of historic proportions twenty fifteen the obama

administration the e.u. russia china and iran finally signed this historic deal that had taken years of negotiation but it led to iran holding its nuclear weapons production in exchange for the easing of sanctions or year ago the trumpet ministration pulled out of the deal the mantra over the past year has been a similar pressure on iran and the europeans have been trying to mitigate this situation throughout the past year and although the u.s. is sort of thrown in the towel the americans on just punishing iran with the economic sanctions they are doing what so-called these secondary sanctions that means they're threatening to target any foreign companies that deal with to iran and guess which side many multinationals are choosing europe start all sorts of complicated mechanisms to circumvent the new reality there is

a system called instead that's not yet operational but they're trying to kind of blog sanctions from european companies that are still up holding their side of the deal but really this deal has taken a big hit the net result is that tehran says that all they've had from europe for the past year has been more also paul the fact that europe's in the middle of it was felt most keenly i think in the u.k. yesterday it really was rather awkward because the u.s. secretary of state might pompei was in london on a visit visiting is u.k. counterpart jeremy hunt and jeremy hunt was asked flat out whose side are you on anyway take a listen to his response if they break the deal and there will be consequences in terms of your. point so we should be. very long going home before they break on a deal that we're working together. to push back against that to you question about . this is

a parlor game that gets played on the same side when the side of your it was the u.s. that unilaterally pulled out of this agreement now over a year ago if even if you listen to the opinion of the u.n. it says iran's been complying with the terms of the deal so you've got the u.s. upping the ante with yet more sanctions iran saying well we're going to give you sixty days or we stop complying on our side so both sides becoming increasingly polarized and you have your up some bang in the middle of it all. the second world war monument in chicago if you can one thousand passions it was erected by the lithuanian community which says it all as a war hero and resistance fighter but a leading jewish human rights organization says he was also a nazi collaborator the ceremony honoring a doll fast roman arsk us was held just days after victims of the holocaust were

commemorated around the world the lithuanian foreign minister also took part in the unveiling of the monument. considers a roman askers a national hero and maintains he did not collaborate with the nazis under the code named. because that was a prominent partisan in lithuania he opposed the soviet administration during and after the second world war although there is no solid proof that he himself killed anyone when the country was occupied by the nazis the simona recent poll center believes he led a gang of local local vigilantes which are persecuted the jewish community director from is a rough things the monument is an insult to the victims of the war. it's basically spitting in the face of holocaust survivors of the jewish community of any person with any morality who expects a member of the e.u. to preserve certain values and i can promise you that i don't mean people who collaborated with nazis is not one of the values of the european union or any other

normal organization there's no evidence on the other hand that roman house has some self killed anybody but the gang that he headed was actively involved in persecution from the top and that the soviet union crumbled there's been a very systematic attempt to rewrite the narrative of world war two and the holocaust they trying to hide the role played in the how of course by local collaborators and in that respect you have to keep in mind that only in eastern europe did collaboration with the nazis include active participation in mass murder . chicago officials have yet to comment on the monument without a rabbi is freedom and he joined a rally in new york against what he calls praising kenneth says he'll appeal to congress to put pressure on lithuania. public outcry so i can help and contact the members of congress as we're going to do in this case and i want to make that clear

that's the next step to lobby members of congress it doesn't happen overnight to put pressure on them to win it to speak to representatives of the jewish community to tell them don't go to lithuania until they correct this travesty why we don't to lithuania where they're honoring the murder of thousands and thousands of people so it's going to take time but that's going to happen so it was with that in mind we decided to begin the process with the rally being the first step and the plan to follow up with the other steps and we would hope that at some point you know the good people who want to weigh me over i'm going to start saying why are we honoring the guy that killed lithuanians because of people they killed were lit the way they happen to be of the jewish faith so why are we honoring the guy is the best we have can we find a guy that we should honor as being a little when he knew that was not murdering lithuanians of the jewish trait to have any faith i think that's a question they should be asking of him back in around thirty minutes time with more top stories and of course continue with our special coverage of victory day so stay with us.

a part of this all the same time is going to be getting together at the end of the day it is going to be very difficult for you to define two things is simultaneously is the world going to part is going to get getting integrated or together but that's just a matter of. the realities. that is why my first training and my first profession i was a professor of theoretical physics mathematics at the great chance of being educated in in armenia soviet union armenia had one of the well known centrist or theoretical physics and astrophysics in and so i was there or through astrophysicist thinking about the structure of human is the universe and stars and in mid eighty's.
