the pain and suffering endured of by everyone during the conflict was truly a madness thing.

ninth of may is about remembering all of that suffering and sacrifice which ultimately affected every family in the u.s.s.r. we spoke to some of those who gave it their all to and manatees bloodiest.

most of the worst since the i am a national hero where. he'll refund out some of the good and just when you read it is still you. should be getting a good to them want to. know. does that mean you leave me. little you did little did. you. hear. the. whistle. you hold looking forward to you right. now

would you say i see where you are serious who say you are going to bring us here is you going to do you said that you and i were you were on the street yesterday. recently. see what i mean and if they're still. stood out in the media should need ziplock you said it's so obvious you know what. one of the bloodiest battles of the conflict and in fact throughout history took place in southern russia installing what is now volgograd lasted for two hundred days between one thousand nine hundred two in one thousand nine hundred three and cost of the red army more than one million one hundred and thirty thousand soldiers germany's losses were high on the losing the battle no nothing 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 merging here is a letter that was uncovered with the remains of two soviet soldiers it never made it home. i was still in the collab each day and 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.

we will win no matter what. the venture comrades. are at the victory parade on red square has for more than twenty years been a significant element of the celebrations on may the ninth watched by millions and attended by dignitaries v.i.p.'s and most importantly russia's wartime.

it's very difficult to describe the at this. it's. electrically tense but there's so much excitement excitement which is released during the parade itself licky keep. putting. out the.

lid the first to victory parade was held on the twenty fourth of june in one thousand nine hundred five just over a month after nazi germany's defeat during the soviet era and the next celebrations were held on the twenty fifth and the fortieth anniversary of the victory since one thousand nine hundred five military parades have been held annually. well over the last few weeks we have brought you many touching stories from the war like ninety four year old veteran 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 alone on the go ask people to send her letters and postcards to mark victory day and the response it seems has been overwhelming. the. push it seemed to just. step foot they just threw it at it to the end user there were there were these big security at the police. needed to see this regime let's put it this at least it is the creatures eaters are for it and use it to leave even. the parents pushers feed the stress their lives are pushing six years in the earth and therefore she

succeeded during one of the movie theater people that barely did it you were in the room which featured there for sure that. they. were there. they were there to. see if there was. something. that. was. pressure is mounting on europe to save the iranian nuclear deal as leaders good to down the tongues out of your summit in romania french president to many micron stressed it would be washington to blame for tehran's decision to leave the treaty

even though he believes that hard fought two thousand and fifteen agreement needs surgery. defeated from the very beginning of the front has been committed to the deal that was negotiated to sign it and the deal is no supervision we would like to have to take into account iran's listening to it even the 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 that washington has already imposed sanctions on tehran trump reiterated his need for a fresh deal a fair deal as he called it and his secretary of state might come peo said that it's iran that's violating international law. 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 or is a response to terrans and nonsense and yesterday that it too would withdraw from certain parts of the iranian nuclear deal saying that the e.u. china and russia had sixty days to protect iran's oil and banking sector from u.s. sanctions all this threatens to ravel what 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 or years are that something ministration pulled out of

the deal this month in the prior years hasn't seen much in the pressure on the iran that your peers have been trying to meucci gave this situation around the clock yeah and although the u.s. is that of the right wing in the tower and the americans on the conditioning iran and with economic sanctions they are doing well so you see 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 start all sorts of complicated mechanisms to circumvent these new realities of 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 heads and the net result is that tehran says that all they've had from europe

for the past year has been more also poll the fact that europe's in the middle of it it's 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 want anyway take a listen to his response if they break the deal then there will be consequences in terms of how european react so we should be iranians to think very long and hard before they break the deal that we're working together to push back against that to your question about whose side are you on. this is a parlor game that the gets played we're on the same side. we're on the side of europe it was the u.s. that unilaterally pulled out of this agreement now over a year ago if it even if you listen to the opinion of the u.n. it says iran has been complying with the terms of the deal so you've got the u.s.

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 some buying in the middle of it all. the second world war monument in chicago is igniting passions that was erected by the lithuanian community which says it all as a war hero and resistance fighter the believing jewish human rights organization says he was also a nancy nancy collaborator of the ring of opus from the oscars just days after victims of the holocaust were from the around the world were we in one or so. we are. both aware considers won an oscar it's a national hero and mainstream thank you did not cooperate with the nazis. and the code. 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 simon wall wiesenthal center believes that he led a gang of local vigilantes which persecuted the jewish community director efraim zuroff thinks that the money meant 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 there and i can promise you that i don't mean people who are collaborators 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 because 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 holocaust by local collaborate and in that respect you have to keep in mind that only eastern europe did collaboration with the nazis include active participation in mass murder chicago officials are yet to comment on the monument we spoke to rabbi friedman who joined a rally in new york against what he calls praising killers he says that he will appeal to congress to put pressure on leftwing. right. and contacting members of congress as we're going to do in this case i want to make that clear that's the next lobby members of congress it doesn't happen overnight to put pressure on them to wait to speak to representatives of the jewish community to tell them don't go through any until they correct this travesty why we don't live the way any of 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 in here going to start saying why are we honoring the guy that killed lithuanians because of people they killed were lithuanians 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 any nero that was not murdering lithuanians of the jewish straight to have any faith i think that's a question they should be asking. english football's feeling on top of the world right now or at least europe after causing two major upsets of this week in the continent's most prestigious tournament dutch giant killers i.x. fell to a london tottenham hotspur while liverpool staged an incredible comeback to send a mighty barcelona packing on r.t.e. on friday former manchester united supreme i'll say marino goes over the twists and

turns in on the touchline i will be back with headlines then after one save the top of the hour six o'clock but here's a preview of that show for. one of them. that he gets is the. biggest one of all so. that the. having in his hand i have already said sinking that one of them is going to lose means more than the us more than anybody else more than the players more than the fans more than the owners and more than everybody else haddix and says sokol after the game they need a neck massage. because they didn't touch the ball in the second of and they were

just. looking at the wall ok let's go against our principles let's go against our philosophy but this is the way we have to hurt them i am surprised. that. they did nothing for all the screw up it gives. and from minute one and two minute ninety five they play only with their philosophy and in football is not possible didn't surprise me and field didn't surprise me you will gun didn't surprise me the relation between the team and the crew of the stadium and the players that empathy nothing of that surprised me how can boss around the be surprised they were not also the team that sings we are better than them we have better players we are going there we are going to win the game we are going to score a goal and to keep it there were not that two second wall and mentally

even physically. collapse the ball boys in a good structure can also play a part i was a ball boy stop the kid knew what he was going to do then alexander are not. you read the situation. fantastically well it's not easy all looks easy but is not easy and important that the zone was not there the first two guys of the first post door not there i really don't know what happened this fire and all these goals in favor of the people that sinks that no player is more important than the team the final little pool against spurs he was caught the hitch.

i think. anything i was. thinking i think. i was. angry. i think. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the multiple different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and

a fresh perspective i'm used to suppressing. or not. i'm going to talk about football not the or else if you think i was going to go. by the way what is it that's like here. donald trump invoked executive privilege over the moment report this as attorney general barr faces contempt of congress for not releasing that report in full where does the standoff go from here and what impact will this fight ultimately have in the two thousand and twenty white house race we're taking a look on this edition of politicking. welcome to politicking i'm amy holmes in for larry king on when.
