they're going to have you with us this is r.t. internet. today marks 75 years since the liberation of warsaw for nazi germany by soviet and polish forces the capital's occupied for years thousands were deported from the warsaw ghetto to death camps 200000 soviet soldiers gave their lives to stop the brutal regime in the city and its surroundings.

the cities today empty in deserted the bodies of poles tortured and executed could often be seen in ditches and sewer pipes there is not a single undamaged building remaining in warsaw objects of historical and cultural heritage been plundered and demolished. i. i i. i am. i. feel. it is with great joy as i'm reporting to you that today on january the 7945 joint forces of the soviet army's 1st belarusian front and the polish 1st army have

successfully completed an offensive operation wolf a turning movement and have liberated the city of warsaw from that syrian vader's once and for all. our troops are greeted by local police to proceed to the streets to salute our shoulders no fences with cheers and its 1st woman great city to liberate the city from nazi occupation. joseph levin dusky was a young boy when the nazis took also his how he described life under occupation. we're not sure sure sure there were again when i was 11 years old and it came when expectedly it started with an eye aerial bombardment we didn't even know that this could all be real like a bolt from the blue bombs were falling out from the sky and your family and friends were dying blood and how we're old around with each day became worse from

the 10th of january and now it's a plane stopped conducting but bargains but they started dropping incendiary shelves 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 streets 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 this is the move. the rules were simple everything was prohibited and you had no rights except working for the nazis this was a time when the whole society understood particularly in warsaw that it should do everything to do as much harm a spa civil to the occupier. in august of 1944 the polish resistance movements rose up against the occupiers trying to seize the capital the wall sort uprising lasted for 63 days before being put down by the nazis at least 150000 people are believed

to have died. and some in poland key soviet forces have actually come to beating to the failure of the wall sort uprising by not helping it this betrayed the soviet union as occupies the people little difference to the nazis or a trove of recently declassified wartime documents point to a difference in our own culture 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 astonishing and terrifying atrocities in poland evidence of human death and suffering was everywhere polish 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 envoys 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 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 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 of fascism and communism as the 2nd world war fades from living memory the victim card becomes that much easier to play. the polish government does not officially mark the anniversary of forces liberation with commemorations limited to 2 privately organized events of the israel office of the simon wiesenthal center of the firms or of cable systems some poland's chills relations with russia and wilson's perception of the war. in practically every single post crime in this country they're busy to rewrite the narrative of world war 2 in the holocaust to do 4 things one is to hide or minimize the role played by local local nazi collaborators which at least in europe was extremely significant and you have to remember that

only in eastern europe the collaboration with the nazis include participation in systematic mass murder of jews through they're trying to promote the canard the lie of equivalency between communists and that's the crimes this simply not true they want communists crimes to be declared genocide which they weren't there was i don't want to in any way minimize comedy's crimes which claimed hundreds of thousands millions of victims all over all over the eastern europe but it was not genocide there was never any attempt to totally wipe out the people there was not industrialized mass murder the way the germans created in auschwitz for a blink of bells it's my dad and sobibor. so this is simply that true they were also a glorifying people who fought against the soviets even if they murder jews they helped murder jews during the how. course you would assume that if someone had participated in those crimes that would disqualify them from being the national heroes and the 1st point is they're pushing for a joint

a moral day for all the victims of totalitarian regimes and other words of communism and of nazism and the day they chose of course is august 23rd $939.00 so in other words what are they doing the comparing the country which conceived planned built and ran the biggest mass murder factory in human history auschwitz birkenau with a country with aids for else in the front so many and the crimes of many whose army the red army liberated that that death camp and stop the mass murder so that's absurd. interpretation and this is isolation of history. today by russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov. if you put in the terms to me and lie about our country both was regard to reasons and outcomes of the 2nd world war and attempts to now use these lies to undermine russia's position in the international

arena a bound to continue we know for a fact that our polish colleagues are trying to get western countries attending the commemoration ceremony in jerusalem to poland's viewpoint on world war 2 you know it's simply beyond the pale especially given the tragic context of the event when articles from geneva trinket was on that press conference for lover of made those remarks let's cross live to him now. seems like russia's foreign minister then was was putting the focus on the lessons of history. while indeed. neal hi the world will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of the defeat over nazi germany this year and this is a really big deal for this country which lost millions and millions of lives in this war so several times the russian top diplomat called out some countries baltic

states in particular for what moscow sees as attempts to blur the lines between fascism and communism and also as attempts to rewrite history so at one point certainly a lot of genuinely wondered how come some elements of fascism the neo nazis made it into the offices of the e.u. that's what he literally said but this is less of a question but more of a message to the un to the outside world that shows how much moscow is annoyed by this these kind of things but moving on i'd like to tell you that at such press events usually mr lavrov looks back at what was done and the previous year and what the russian. diplomat proudly pointed out is that now the conflict in syria was in the final stage of a resolution in the final stage of ending the civil war but however

he did blame some other countries mainly western countries for setting preconditions before actually making attempts to help out syria for instance and helping the refugees come back to the country or allowing the delivery of humanitarian aid plus mr lavrov did point out though that some islamic elements of the islamic terrorist groups are actually there is a threat that their hands could get untied because of mistakes deliberate or not by some of the militias on the ground that are supported by the u.s. . at the push to. the east and bank of the euphrates around 10000 i still militants if i'm not mistaken are being held in detention camps by the syrian democratic forces who control those areas these are many could this fighters and receiving a lawman reports which we're currently double checking that these fighters are

releasing these terrorists in exchange for bribes and they're beginning to spread across syria the information is very alarming and we've long weekend our american partners who have sway over the as the if of the need to make sure that i assume militants a multilateral to escape those camps. so you see this is how it happens at such press events pretty much all the time we see a journalist from syria japan of ghana stand stand up and they ask about relations between their countries and russia but then at some point sergey lavrov always comes back to talking about the american behavior behavior of the u.s. administration as the world's police. something that is seen here in moscow as things that are done in disrespect of international law so in response to a question from a japanese reporter surg reminded for example that pentagon is building

a missile defense shield in the land of russia's eastern neighbor and actually went on to say that it could be exploited sorry the u.s. could be exploiting its alliance with tokyo to build up pressure on moscow while it's also convincing continuing to convince everyone in the world that russia is a threat and that russia should be protected against. this issue that should japan is hosting u.s. anti missile defense systems and our japanese colleagues have been telling us all along it's meant as defense against the north korean threat and that's only the japanese military will have control over it but it's the very same u.s. launches that have been tested by the u.s. not only for launching anti missile defensive but also offensive missiles and have a look at the u.s. military strategy they are calling russia a rival so we can't help but worry so. well this brings me

to shortest answer at this press event which i guess serves as a lesson for the future of the future generations of journalists don't ask the russian foreign minister about impeachment proceedings in other countries because he's not the one in charge. on tuesday the impeachment procedure against president trump is expected to get underway in the senate and many in the west say this could do we can do u.s. support for ukraine as transfinite russia's position how could you comment on that . the impeachment is in the u.s. you're american you would know better than me. you know i want to ask me what about the biggest 2020 so far the conflict between the u.s. and iran well i can tell you that of course many things about that were said as

well by the russian top diplomat but just wait for my colleague to tell you a bit more about these aspects of the speech by circular yes indeed we'll get to that in just a moment many thanks for trying with the latest. let's do it just now because the iran nuclear treaty was among other topics addressed by russia's foreign minister and choose to turn arounds european partners triggered a 60 day mechanism that could potentially kill off the ill fated agreement however it turns out they did so under the threat of economic pressure from president trump to pull us out of the deal in 2018. washington for applying double standards towards its partners used the joint comprehensive plan of action remains in. international law it's been approved by the u.n. security council as a compulsory resolution america has decided to enact laws of their own to abandon. complying with the deal good morning everyone else from creating wrong. wrong

complies with the document could ever by a president trump everyone has the power to the u.s. but iran should comply is a disturbing situation. i'm joined now by r.t. correspondent peter peter good to see you tell us a bit more than about what sergei lavrov had to say where do we stand now is there still an iran nuclear deal. it's still there the iranian nuclear deals there but it's hanging by a thread really at the moment if we look back to the beginning of the week 1st on tuesday britain france and germany they put in place they activated this clause in the iran nuclear deal it's called the dispute resolution mechanism all timidly that could lead to the united nations reintroducing sanctions against iran and that would really spell the death knell for the whole of the iranian nuclear deal the iranian supreme leader has reacted to this well this move by these european nations

at the beginning of the week he's reacted though with scathing criticism for them the u.k. germany and france are doing nothing they will serve us interests they just puppets . well while britain france and germany bay not agree with being called puppets of the united states what we've heard coming out from here in berlin from. the german defense minister and widely tipped as a potential successor to uncle americal is chancellor when she calls it a day she said to the world the decision to activate this clause in the iran nuclear deal was was made under threats from the united states threats that a 25 percent tariff would be placed on all imports into the united states of european cars and car parts that would really be quite a substantial amount of money that would jack up the prices of all of all european

exports to the united states when it comes to the automobile sector while britain france and germany have activated activated i beg your pardon this dispute resolution mechanism the respective foreign ministers have issued a statement saying that they still hope that the iran nuclear deal can survive. we have therefore been left with no choice given iran's actions but to register today our concerns that iran is not meeting its commitments we do this in good faith with the overall kingwood jet to give preserving the j. c.p.o. a. well the move by the nations to activate this clause in the nuclear deal. well could see sanctions put back in place those united nations sanctions put back in place on to running around 60 days time as i say that would pretty much well that would be it for the iran nuclear deal and all this all well all people looking

at it would think that would pretty much be the end of it. something that the united states is very keen to see they don't like this deal at all donald trump of course the u.s. president told the united states unilaterally out of the deal back in may of 2018 and since then it's pretty much doing everything he can to try and disrupt it and try and make it all well fall fall down despite those european nations saying that they hope that there's still hope for the iran deal it doesn't look very secure at the moment there are very many thanks peter all of with information for us. and for the news now u.k. police knew children were suffering the most profound sexual abuse in the northern city of manchester but did not protect them a new independent report has found officers in 2004 launched operation or guster to investigate the issue but the report requested by the crime commission adds that the probe was premature leak closed down before it could complete its work.

we fished investigation was closed due to lack of resources whistleblower my dear oliver a former just a police detective who worked on operational guster says that there were other reasons the decision to close down operation orchestra 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 their focus on what we call acquisitive crime so burglaries theft from motor vehicle 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 well the initial investigation was triggered by the death of victoria golyer she was in the care of months the city council following her mother's death the girl was subjected to sexual assault and exacted with heroin by a 50 year old man the report says that carers knew that abuse was going on but did not act or police failed to bring the perpetrators to justice 15 or victoria died after being administered a heroin overdose in tori's grandmother says that since her death she has been battling to find out 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 me herself what these men had done to her. the authorities knew that many victims were being subjected to the most profound abuse and exploitation but did not protect him from the perpetrators 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 are now lost a criminal investigation following the report's findings the chief constable of manchester police has offered his condolences to victims adding that officers will do everything to get justice for the children will supply again what senior 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 knowledge that it was pakistani men predominantly who were abusing vulnerable young white children and their 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 for it 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. for t.v. channel repeatedly exposed as reporting fake news has announced a documentary promising to expose that very subject it premieres in march and looks at the impact that this information conspiracy theories and false news stories have on the average citizen. or examines why the documentary may not be quite as

eyeopening 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 this information in the cost of fake news heading up this new project brian stelter host of the c.n.n. show reliable sources now back. to space silent as one of his reliable guests on his reliable show said trump killed more people than hitler stalin and mao combined that after he was ripped apart on twitter he blamed tech 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 could 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 riddled 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 in the hoops turned out that actually most of it hadn't been still c.n.n. 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 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 tip included this information conspiracy theories and false news stories surrounding the claim that donald j. 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 or an announcement of announcements the timing because they and how they literally just settled a multimillion dollar lawsuit over its fake news.
