of politicizing the past with david superglue a senior historian the international institute for the cost research. in terms of holocaust memory sometimes falling into. politics where what's important is marshalling facts to support a certain ideology or political position and therefore the facts are marshalled very very selectively and other facts are very carefully ignored that's going on that has always been around it's happening i would say. increasingly in certain places and i think part of what we try to avoid here you have to share and we try to avoid that we try to deal with the subject itself and what actually happened and who was involved in what ways and what do they do and how do we teach it there's no doubt that the red army liberated auschwitz and that's historical fact and you know there are several 1000 prisoners in auschwitz the
12:05 am
overwhelming majority of them who were there on the day of liberation were jews as in general at auschwitz what happened and had the red army come a few days later they might have died of cold and of disease and the red army came and started to treat them are you concerned that the memory of the 2nd world war in the holocaust will be revised to the point that future generations actually know what happened futures are actions already don't know what happened in many places young people young adults not children don't even know what the holocaust was on that happened and i think we need to remind people of that or else we risk increase the risk of terrible things like this happening again you know after all of the holocaust happened it can happen again and doesn't have to be germans and jews next time if you want to watch that interview with david silva in full it will be on air after this news bulletin in just 20 minutes time i mean what a poll conducted in the us has shown a significant gap in holocaust awareness especially among the millennial hoarsely it has more on that story. from the ashes of the auschwitz concentration camp

emerged to woods never again the echo through the generations as a warning in a few days one a cause remembrance day will be commemorated around the world the tragedy of 6000000 jews who were tortured gassed and burnt in concentration camps will be remembered but for how much longer according to me some for as many as 66 percent of millenia of cannot identify aspects and almost hoffa cannot even name one concentration camp some don't even know what the holocaust was these be multiple cases of people disrespecting concentration camps with a sophie's something that's all people named and shamed by the controversial your low cost project increasing needs falling on the younger generation to make sure the atrocities of the holocaust are not forgotten like it is going over its whose grandfather was a survivor outraged by recent studies showing the ignorance of 1000000 meals he set up a project called humans of the holocaust while trying to do this project is actually
12:07 am
you know to their own form and to better educate people about what happened in the holocaust and are trying to do it in a different angle trying to because we're speaking about me but i mean it's you know today you have twitter and you have instagram and you have tick tock and you have so much information and you have to get the attention of the other generation humans of the holocaust is a project that tells the stories of survivors and their children they speak about the years in camps and how they lived with this experience off towards some young people have come up with unusual ways of remembering the relatives my grandfather was. a hero for me he was a very very big part in my life. when i was a baby i asked him before i did. he asked why why young girl like you want to do number of holocaust in your head i told him. i want to keep the story alive. to tell my kids to tell my grandkids don't
12:08 am
date good looks wants to expand his project with more human stories so that would remember and never forget i would you for example there is a holocaust survivor named dougal lychner he told me that the only thing that actually kept him going while he was in the holocaust was sense of humor and he suggested that we will take this picture holding you a boom in the sheep of the whole batch the jews were forced to put on their sleeves during the holocaust and in the beginning i wasn't sure that this is exactly the picture that i want to portray you know in this exhibition that when we took the picture and when he actually you know to the moon we actually embrace and he was so happy he had the this huge smile these face and you know everything connected because his message is that is no matter what is happening actually in your life if you will to use your sense of humor you will find the resilience to actually you know to keep forward i'm sure when stories that people will be able to actually to
12:09 am
release and my hope is that you know the people you know when people see the exhibition they will do their own research and they will try to figure out why the holocaust happened and what are the lessons that we are all supposed to learn from you know from the history. of running during which only time will tell. the media is on trial in brazil that's after federal prosecutors charged the warbling journalist glenn greenwald with committing cyber crimes or you coordinated the hacking of top officials phones to get information on a high profile corruption case last year meanwhile journalists and human rights activists sound the alarm saying it's blatant violation of press freedoms one quarter picks up a story. brazil's president has never been a big fan of journalists if they don't go there was a call to give the money to the secular go off i fell for that but the money it

a jail the charges come after greenwald's news outlet exposed a possible conspiracy within the judicial system based on the leaked private text messages they purported to show the event federal judge colluding with the prosecution in a high profile corruption case the same one that landed both scenarios main rival lula da silva in jail preventing him from running for another presidential term the federal judge denied everything and even went on to head the justice ministry as for the journalist to shed light on the scandal he found himself under investigation even though the federal police and the supreme court told the administration to drop the case in our own government president bush norah multiple members of his government simply don't believe in a free press you don't believe in prosper you don't they don't even believe in democracy they've repeatedly and explicitly praised the military dictatorship that ruled the country until they needed 5 years is a pure form of government and this is all about ushering in that level of

12:14 am
with europe as afternoon threats the slap tariffs sort of auto trade at the world economic forum in switzerland that came in response to france has moved to impose additional tax on u.s. tech charts or to shut up there with your reports from paris. not being is a beethoven for me idea is give a little here get a lot there for global companies it's often a direct line to the heart of power for generations boozy lunches were once the fashion but now it seems did still giants more interested in offering up a cup of joe as it plans to introduce a digital tax take for it seems the big 4 that google amazon facebook and apple are trying their best to see up to process. i don't think it's a good idea to talk about politics or policy with a glass of wine in your hand and excellent food offered by a person who has clear interests to represent and then there is a little less transparent lobby because there are members of industry associations
12:15 am
well they have consultants working for them so you talk to people who don't realize if they are representing the interests of google or facebook or silicon valley because the names are different these lobbyists seem to have some very deep pockets according to transparency international in 2019 google spent some 8000000 euros trying to get into brussels good graces while the lobbying budgets of the big 4 have skyrocketed since 2014 so why is this new digital tax regime causing them such a headache well until recently most digital giants pay their tax bill in the country where they're registered but as they've grown questions are being asked as to why they were paying tax income derived in individual countries their fronts led the charge by imposing the so-called tax causing the trumpet ministration to go into a tailspin. but the companies are one of the
12:16 am
british version of. it's going to be. the corner and trump say they are still talking things through possibly. for a free couple from facebook other countries in europe are now gearing up to take a slice of the profits point even the brits you know longer agree with the e.u. on anything on the same page plan to go ahead with article services tax it's really says it to you is gearing up for a digital tax leaving the us to throw more threats of tariffs as if they're like a buy one get one free offer we've been pretty clear that we think that the digital discriminatory in nature but it seems with a new terror threat so almost a weekly basis from the trumpet ministration the french are boyd by the idea of
12:17 am
safety in numbers what will they do tomorrow go off to austria and spain italy the united kingdom all the other countries across the globe to implement digital tax we're going to order global trade which is in nobody's interest and the result is not worth the action it's taken them a while but it does appear that all e.u. countries are now on the same page all in agreement that they should be taxing digital giants which means if no agreement is made globally in the next few months starting with paris next week the u.s. and e.u. the old allies could find themselves going head to head. paris. economics professor steve keen believes america's push for its own national interests is having an effect on the rest of the world. since trump is in charge he'll do whatever he sees as being a win situation for american a loss for the rest of the world i think of the cost of the because these companies
12:18 am
are mainly american and he's going to oppose taxes on them and they'll continue with writing this axis and he could easily threaten to cut access to the guts of the countries if that is just a company's services that they are if they're required to pay taxes in national jurisdictions like europe probably think they have to pay taxes in america after me come in globally and of course that undermines the whole idea of having national succession systems. the president of the philippines as exclusively revealed hill declined the united states invitation to attend the southeast asian nation somewhat in march rigor the tatt say was speaking to our senior correspondent laura guys they have the full interview will be auty this friday in the meantime here's a quick preview i just received a. an invitation for will please name the states where there would be this. have been the distance that was

jails one claim that extremism inside prisons was so out of control they could act as fertile breeding grounds for potential to harvest and the report found that a gang of extremist muslims calling itself the brotherhood actually dominates life behind bars in britain to discuss the issue was stephen morris from the english democrats party and the feet of the ramadan foundation. if you were involved 'd in preparing for terrorism acts then they usually get long custodial sentences and many people in britain whatever your background whatever your diversity would support. how is it possible for somebody who was convicted of a terror plot like a smart car and for him to be released 6 years into his sentence and then go on you know undetected to deport where he carries out the terrorist attack on innocent civilians at the london bridge so yes we need tougher sentences but we need to government to take control and i think all of the past few years we've seen

the government there's been upset about another issues and the last 3 years we haven't been able to address any of these issues why there is the n.h.s. why there is education why there is county terrorism when when we had people after the $77.91 and a lot of people put in prison for various offenses they'll become a lot for parole reviews and they'll become an hour or so we've got to deal with it and we have to make sure that to deal with extremism sometimes you need an extreme . way of dealing with it and that means separate prisons. to try and address the issues and pull people away who may not isolate the extremists from the moderate muslims or the ones who are more vulnerable. back in 30 minutes with the latest headlines we'll see you back that.
