4:15 pm
which side would side with just. during the break. the first victory parade was held on the twenty fourth of june nine hundred forty five just over
4:16 pm
a month after nazi germany's defeat during the soviet era the next celebrations were held on the twentieth and the fortieth anniversary of the victory since one thousand nine hundred five and the tree parades have been held annually. over the last few weeks in the build up to the day we've brought you many touching stories like a ninety four year old veteran anna who joined the resistance straight after graduating from school becoming a frontline scout she sustained injuries that prevented her from having children later in life her husband died a few years ago so now she's all alone and asked people to. and postcards to mark victory day and the response it seems has been overwhelming. which preceded the. so-called kerry just
4:17 pm
a bit to the ears of the woman who is educated here at the police. really seriously working your. leadership is to be sure that it was and is it easy easy to. turn or to shoot a fish when even fifty six years earlier if it were she to sleep during the leak yet people have barely getting by on. the cheap future of the business and what he says he. will receive when he was in. iraq with. the leaks and. i think. that.
4:18 pm
was. the pressure is mounting on europe to save the iranian nuclear deal as leaders got down to talks at a summit in romania french president emanuel micron's stressed it would be washington to blame for terrans decision to leave the treaty even though he believes that the hard fought a twenty fifteen hour agreement needs surgery. 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 add to it to take into account iran's missile activities. 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 says that it will assess iran's compliance with the deal what has already
4:19 pm
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 is 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 pomp ayers response to terrans and 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 sector from u.s.
4:20 pm
sanctions all this threatens to. really was an agreement a diplomatic agreement of historic proportions and 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 i hear very the trumpet ministration pulled out of the deal to the mantra over the past year has been of much pressure on iran and the europeans have been trying to mitigate this situation throughout the past year and although the u.s. has 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 tehran and guess which side many multinationals are choosing europe's tried all sorts of
4:21 pm
complicated mechanisms to circumvent these new realities there is a system called instead that's not yet operational but they're trying to kind of block the 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 his 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 then there will be consequences in terms of how european we aren't so we. think very long
4:22 pm
and hard before the break we're working together to push back against that to your question about whose side are you on. this is a parlor game that gets played on the same side when the side of europe it was the us that unilaterally pulled out of this agreement now over a year ago if it even if you listen to the opinion of the un it says iran's been complying with the terms of the deal so you've got the us helping 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. in the middle of it all. a second world war monument in chicago is igniting passions it was erected by the lithuanian community which says it honors a war hero and resistance fighter but a leading jewish human rights organization says he was also
4:23 pm
a nazi collaborator the ceremony honoring adult. was held just days after victims of the holocaust were rated around the world the lithuanian foreign minister also took part in the unveiling of the monument when it considers around ask as a national hero and maintains he did not collaborate with the nazis under the code name and then i guess because that was a prominent partisan in lithuania he opposed the soviet administration during and after the second world war although there's no solid proof that he himself killed anyone when the country was all compiled by the nazis the sim on a visa until santa believed he led a gang of local vigilantes which persecuted the jewish community director ephriam as are all things the monument is an insult to the victims of the war. it's basically spitting in the face of how of course survivors of the jewish tribune really a very 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
4:24 pm
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 our schools himself killed anybody but the gang that he headed was actively involved in prosecution from the toy that the soviet union crumbled and this has been a very systematic attempt to rewrite the narrative of world war two and the holocaust the trying to hide the role in the holocaust by local collaborators in that respect you have to keep in mind that only eastern europe did collaboration with the nazis include. active participation in mass murder here cargo officials are yet to comment on the monument we spoke to rob friedman joins a rally in new york against what he calls praising a careless he says he'll appeal to congress to put pressure on the new. outcries
4:25 pm
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 lobby members of congress it doesn't happen overnight to put pressure on the way here to speak to representatives of the jewish community to tell them don't go to lithuania until they correct this travesty why we've gone 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 really 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 went away and you know we're going to start saying why are we honoring a guy that killed lithuanians because of people they killed were lit the way they happen to be of the jewish state so why are we honoring the guy is the best we have can we find a guy that we should honor as being aloof when he knew that was not murdering lithuanians of the jewish rate of anybody i think that's a question they should be asking. english football's feeling on top of the world
4:26 pm
