12:04 am
became worse from the 10th of january denounce a plane stop conducting but you aren't but they started dropping incendiary shelf full of white phosphorus there were 2 periods when the terror had reached its highest point during that time hanged in shock people were lying in the street you were afraid to go outside because the cars could have come and taken anyone you were afraid to write a trend as no one knew where the germans might stop a person and take him somewhere terrible he said the movies approached the rules were simple everything was prohibited and you had no rights except working for the nazi trade was prohibited science was prohibited meetings of veiny groups for headbutted no this was a time when the whole society understood particularly in warsaw that he should do everything to do as much harm as possible to the occupier. and august 1944 the polish resistance movement rose up against the occupiers trying to seize
12:05 am
the capital the warsaw uprising lasted 63 days before being put down by the nazis at least 150000 people are believed to have died this is how just love flow and recalls that period. this wanted to. check the machine time so i was sent to deliver some kind of packages i was always successful in getting through the entrance gates to the tram to moran of old as the security guards usually failed to notice me you had to find a place between the kerry cheese so you could quickly disappear into the crowd after getting off which i saw a terrible things there too many dead people in the streets many wheelbarrows full of dead people mostly jews so so many starving and doomed children on the streets on this small ghetto square there were more than half a 1000000 jews in the ghetto people were not human beings german could walk by and punch jap shooter shot
12:06 am
a person and people were treated like dirt. just to have even one issue to muster goes through you know you have to have been was you or saul was liberated on the 17th of january i was already in the camp at that time participating in the death march obviously no one in the march had any idea about that everyone was struggling to survive in my march call and there were about 1200 prisoners along the way those who were holding out the march were killed in the end there were only $200.00 left there we were liberated by the soviet soldiers outside the town of flab. then i spent 2 months in the soviet hospital there i found out that the warsaw had been free that people who survived were very happy and stander students that the war was over. and recent years poland has portrayed the soviet union as equally responsible for the war as nazi germany however
12:07 am
a trove of recently declassified wartime documents points to a different conclusion quarter investigates. the nazi occupation one of the darkest chapters in poland's history nearly 6 long years of death and terror left its capital warsaw all but destroyed the occupiers and their collaborators divided the population by race millions of supposed undesirables shift off to perish in the ovens and gas chambers of the extermination camps women were raped in the streets men women and children mass occurred in pogroms only to be dumped into mass graves by the end of it all 90 percent of polish jews had been exterminated but 75 years ago on the 17th of january soviet forces liberated warsaw back then the people welcome to the soviet troops here's an account from newly declassified documents. the nazis committed a stone nation and terrifying atrocities in poland evidence of human death and
12:08 am
suffering was everywhere posed residents met soviet soldiers with happiness and joy for i was they stood in the streets greece in red army troops they saluted officers and soldiers expressing gratitude for liberating the city from nazi occupation but for the city's government now the day the nazis were expelled is no longer an occasion to celebrate why while today's polish authorities don't look back with any fondness for those liberators or anything to do with moscow right now to them vladimir putin is a liar for daring to say poland benefited from the munich agreement which carved up czechoslovakia in 1938 giving nazi germany and warsaw the spoils the polish authorities also don't like that putin called their pre-war ambassador an anti semite despite the envoy's enthusiastic approval of hitler's plan to deport germany's jews to africa but of course it's all really just russia's plan to
12:09 am
destroy poland's great reputation a lie that is repeated a 1000 times becomes the truth as google said today we're talking about an attempt to undermine confidence in poland in the eyes of the world community and the kremlin's intentions to sow division within the european union and nato putin seeks to portray poland as supposedly the not quite right part of the west while these very statements are part of propaganda preparations ahead of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz and the anniversary of the end of world war 2 could that mean israel's in cahoots with russia's propaganda plot to after all tell of eve didn't invite the polish president to speak at its auschwitz liberation ceremony he's decided to boycott the whole event in protest especially since vladimir putin is on the list of honored speakers it turns out that the presidents of russia. germany and france whose countries collaborated with nazi germany will
12:10 am
speak but the organizers did not agree to a speech by the president of poland the ability to speak in regards to this matter is against the interests of the polish republic ok so poland doesn't want to rub shoulders with those abroad who don't support its historical narrative but at home the law gets tough if you're not on the same page anyone who publicly and contrary to the facts denies crimes referred to in article one shall be subject to a fine or the penalty of imprisonment of up to 3 years the sentence shall be made public. except the law only mentions the crimes of the nazis twice most of the text is reserved for describing the actions of the country's liberators from poland it's not so much a question about who the good or bad guys were now it's a mission to blur the lines between the 2 opposing ideologies fascism and communism as the 2nd world war fades from living memory the victim card becomes that much
12:11 am
easier to play the major offensive launched by the red army in january 1945 was enormously important it destroyed much of the german on those capability i'm with praise in the conference in february by both roosevelt and churchill it was very very significant parts of the defeat of hitler unfortunately there's been a tendency in recent times to simply blame the soviet union and now russia for everything that goes wrong the soviet union lost $27000000.00 i think the crucial thing here is that we need to try and find a language and symbolism of reconciliation rather than pro food to believe recycling the pain from the past i see this is unfortunately as cold war thinking returning. poland's former president left well that's
12:12 am
a believes that while polls have been brought up to see the soviet union as an occupier it's important to remember that the red army was the liberating force. if i were in power i would invite him i would look for positive solutions so that both countries benefit and so as to prevent other powers from capitalizing on our mistakes if i were in power i would allow myself to be invited or i would invite myself because we must remember the past respect the past remember that many people have died and deserve gratitude and recognition but again it's another perspective on world war 2 when the soviet union. the 75th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz will be marked later this month more than a 1000000 jews died in the nothing death camp throughout the day will be screening the documentary big sonja about a holocaust survivor and her fiction notice as a preview. you
12:13 am
are no offense but you no longer a young woman in fact you are one of the last living survivors of the nazis. and i'm aware of it. all you like. you can never forget maybe you can now auschwitz was really like to be inhaled because you would never believe it was a human again due to as a copy of a course for 32 years of the. very day it all seemed so logical for my side to make it right when i get out on the farm saw you oh well you take my song to their next place and hopefully bless my heart hurts. your gay police knew children were suffering the most profound sexual abuse in the northern city of manchester but did not protect them and no independent report has found that after the death of 115 year old girl and care officers in 2004 launched
12:14 am
operation augusta to investigate the issue but few of the perpetrators were brought to justice. if michel investigation was closed due to lack of resources but whistleblower manky
12:15 am
all over a former manchester police detective who worked on the operation augusta says there were other reasons. the decision to close down operational krista was driven by the decision of senior officers to remove the resources from the investigation this was because it was a very complex investigation but there were other factors involved in the decision to close it down there was definitely an element of concern about the ethnicity of the offenders being pakistani man and the children being very vulnerable white children there was also the resources issue and because it's very labor intensive it takes a lot of time it takes a lot of commitment from an organization to resource a job like this and also and that was a focus on what we call acquisitive crime so burglaries theft from motor vehicle
12:16 am
robberies if somebody reported that kind of a crime to the police you would get a 1st class response if you were a child being raped it wasn't being reflected in performance indicators hence the police did not respond. the initial investigation was triggered by the death of victoria go where she was in the care of manchester city council after her mother's death the girl was subjected to sexual assault and injected with heroin by a 15 year old male report says that carers knew that abuse was going on but did not act or police failed to bring the perpetrators to justice 15 year old victoria died after being in minister a heroin overdose a tourist grandmother says that since her death she has been battling to find the truth. she was such a lovely girl she didn't deserve to die i've been fighting all my life for this she told herself with these men. the authorities knew that many victims were being subjected to the most profound abuse and exploitation but did not protect him from
12:17 am
the perpetrators and as a result very few of the relevant perpetrators were brought to justice and neither were their activities disrupted this is a depressingly familiar picture and has been seen in many other towns and cities across the country authorities have now launched a criminal investigation following the report findings that chief constable of manchester police has offered his condolences to the victims adding that officers will do everything to bring the perpetrators to justice also maggie oliver again one thing your police and other officials themselves to be investigated. this coverup that's the only word there is for it was absolutely deliberate this report this review it's an independent 3 view makes it crystal clear that this was a deliberate cover up there was a reluctance to not only that it was pakistani men predominantly who were
12:18 am
abusing vulnerable young white children and very young children that became a political hot potato it was often sad that these kids of 11 and 12 were making a lifestyle choice that they were working as prostitutes that they were kids that is never the case they were vulnerable kids who we had a duty to protect and they all surratt is failed time and time again to do that this is criminal neglect in my opinion it is misconduct in a public office at the highest level and i want to see accountability criminal charges brought against senior police officers senior social workers and potentially going right up to the government if culpability can be shown there for the neglect of people in public office. c.n.n. the t.v. channel dubbed fake news by donald trump and repeatedly exposed as having reported
12:19 am
fake news has announced a documentary on fake news a premier's in march and looks at the impact that distant permission conspiracy theories and false news stories have on the average citizen ask it or examines why the documentary may not be quite as i opening as it claims protecting innocent minds from the harm of fake news has become one of the biggest battles of the day it's what seed facebook twitter and co get tough on patrolling content and it's apparently what inspired this announcement. h.b.o. just announced something i've been working on for a couple of years a documentary titled after truth dissin from asia in the cost of fake news heading up this new project brian stelter host of the c.n.n. show reliable sources now back in august was moved to space silent as one of his reliable guests on his reliable show said trump killed more people than hitler stalin and mao combined than after he was ripped apart on twitter he blamed tech
12:20 am
problems that he didn't hear the gas comments apparently the only thing he can rely on now is the fact that his show is not a smash hit losing over 10 percent of its if you or ship in a year but perhaps that's not surprising given that he previously been described on his own show a somewhat less than reliable i mean this was truly no disrespect but i think you can border on being sort of quite a ridiculous figure but anyway let's take a quick look at just some of the stories stele to conclude in his new documentary how about that one on everyone's favorite topic of russia but it was so we're told with mistakes it was not only retracted but then the 3 journalists who have been working on it resigned oh no that was c.n.n. or apparently how all the details of the infamous steel anti trump dossier had been corroborated one hoops turned out that actually most of it hadn't been still c.n.n.
12:21 am
well we've always got that bombshell report about how trump knew in advance about the trump tower meeting but then it turns out the source actually didn't exist probably not c.n.n. again how trump was the 1st president since bush not to take questions at a press conference and then it turned out actually obama hadn't either also c.n.n. never mind i'm sure they'll try to something up in light of all these mishaps it was inevitable then the people wasted no time in weighing in. wouldn't it be easier to just name it c.n.n. we're very aware you've been working on it probably starring a major role free to include this information conspiracy theories and false new stories surrounding the claim that don't know jay trump was a russian asset conspirator blackmail and get your film crew to interview you and colleagues as among its purveyors easiest booking in the world but what really makes this a jewel of an announcement an announcement of announcements the timing because
12:22 am
c.n.n. has literally just settled a multimillion dollar lawsuit over its fake news coverage of the coding to kids you know the ones who are smeared of bigots and racists mainly because they're wearing maga hats on the topic of bad timing finance card trending on twitter not in a cool way it's featured in the hash tag c.n.n. is trash it's political correspondents found herself in a unique position of being hated on both by the left and right wing media because of this moment at the latest democratic debate senator sanders c.n.n. reported yesterday that and senator sanders senator warren confirmed in a statement that in 2018 you told her that you did not believe that a woman could win the election why did you say that wells a matter of fact i didn't say. you want to be here you are saying that you never told senator warren that a woman could not win the election. senator warren what did you think when senator
12:23 am
sanders sanders told you a woman could not win the election. but according to a c.n.n. commentator the question of whether or not saunders said a woman would never make it to the white house is not actually up for debate because c.n.n. reported on it back in 2018 so must be true so you've really got to hand it to c.n.n. for dealing amongst across and how to lack self-awareness even if it didn't mean to it chant up people at the start of what so far can only be called a bumpy year. france has once again been brought to a standstill trade unions and public sector workers are piling the pressure on the french president over his proposed pension reforms transport strikes hit paris and other cities on thursday and some other allies turned violent.
12:24 am
thousands more demonstrated across the country blocking ports and cutting output electricity generation sites unions called on train metro and hospital workers along with teachers to march on the french couple demanding the complete removal of macross proposals to spite the government's decision to compromise agreeing to drop some of the pension reforms most controversial aspects of the french parliament is due to debate the bill next month as negotiations drag on some have even found a funny side to be about. as the strike continues in fronts we've brought you the congo we've discontentment we've even taught you the violence the other thing
12:25 am
that is quite interesting about protests like this all the fun is that really brings the color if you just look behind me you can to get a sense of just some of these banners that are out today people spend tireless hours creating these banners to try and get them for a moment say on t.v. or social networks to try and get their voices across when to speak to use a ballot they sound very nice sorry i'm going to translate into nice english basically saying not going loves to our professors particularly at the age of 60 plus rove emailed reference to the fact he married a schoolteacher i would. be fair to say bunkum. normally teachers retire at 62 like everyone else but if this reform for the past they will go up to 64 or even moving from case this is meant as the we told the president whose wife is
12:26 am
a teacher. so it's not just the placards that we see at these protests we also see other flags that are regular currencies like this one for che guevara and the flag of the palestinian territories over there all the sort of color that adds to almost every protest that we come to in front of just spotted what looks like quite a nice cargo placard here in paris it's a train let's have a chat to the person behind this. expect watch. have been on strike for 42 days with the railway workers are striking against marcos. michel i think we're witnessing some sort of humorous show here we've got some of the huge looks like the son of margaret thatcher and mr mack all that hair style this is really the heart of margaret thatcher
12:27 am
particularly with like to be pearls on the is around her. for me no protest in paris is complete in till we have met this gentleman this is your baptist and every protest he's out with a new so i mean in this distinctive coloring when you 1st saw paul are joining the fight for social justice the environment democracy democracy everything is going wrong this is a democratic emergency the politicians is not performing his duties and acting to help. both from the simple message is to the more humorous messages it seems you can pretty much find anything on a placard at a protest in front and from everybody we've spoken to it seems that the reason why people are really keen to get their protest banners out here in sharing is to make sure that they seen in the crowds show that you can ski r.t.
12:28 am
in paris. that's a global news wrap up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour thanks for tuning in.
12:29 am
