global trade. sanctions. thanks for joining us. welcome to the program. dozens of world leaders are gathering in jerusalem for the city's largest political event to commemorate the holocaust and bring attention to. its time to mark the 75th anniversary of soviet forces liberating the infamous. my dear family i'm writing this letter before my death i don't know exactly when me and my relatives are going to die just because we're jews i'm in a concentration camp before all of us will be shot in a shelter thursday 4 am 16942 farewell to you all.

that i do that i figured out i was. a couple i had several drugs in auschwitz one of the jobs was clearing the ashes from where they burned the jews through a tunnel to a small river and i worked there with another guy who's already he was 32 and i was 16 i didn't know what these ashes were one day when i saw it in daylight i asked them what is the job with doing so he told me what it was i promised myself that my ashes never be. that i would do my best to get something that gave. me a lot of forget it every morning praying i look at my hands and see well i have the

number here and i see it every day and i think the time that i was once again. despite the commemoration and tending to unite nations the polish president won't be attending early hoodoos moscow of rewriting history in an opinion piece calling russia far from a liberator that's the spite sacrificing hundreds of thousands of people in its operation to rid poland of the nazis we talked about the issue of politicizing the past with a holocaust historian who thinks it's important to avoid distorting facts. 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 marshaled 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 at the shen we try to avoid that we try to deal with the subject itself and what actually happened and who is 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 that's historical fact and you know there are several 1000 prisoners in auschwitz the 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 in 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 won't know what happened futures are russians 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 throughout the day meanwhile a poll conducted in the us has shown a significant gap in holocaust the word especially among millennial. has more on that. from the ashes of the all chutes concentration camp emerged to woods never again he echoed through the generations into. warning in a few days one of cause remembrance day will be commemorated around the world the tragedy of $6000000.00 jews who were tortured gassed and burned in concentration

camps will be remembered but for how much longer according to recent reports as many as 66 percent of millennial cannot identify auschwitz and almost often 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 was 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 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 flow and you have to get the attention of the young

generation humans of the holocaust is a project that tells the stories of survivors and the 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 from when i was a baby i asked him before i did that 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 they can over its wants to expand his project with more human stories. so they would remember and even forgive 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 a hard ass was sense of humor and he suggested that we will take this picture holding your boom in the she 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 balloon and he actually embraced 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 release and my hope is that you know the people you know when people see that exhibition they will do their own research and it 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's trial in brazil that's all to federal prosecutors charged the war winning journalist glenn greenwald with committing cyber crimes authorities have accused them of hacking top officials phones to get information on a high profile corruption case last year journalists and human rights activists say it's a blatant violation of press freedoms a quarter picks up the story. brazil's president has never been a big fan of journalists if you don't go there was a look at you the money we've got the secular good we thought that was the but the money it will provide still a difficult but that's what they're doing with them and you are never going to write usually you know very well read through everything in order to really be a bit of both of us on volume thank you. but i asked if i wasn't going on this so it's no surprise freedom of the press is once again under attack in the country american journalist glenn greenwald is facing cybercrime charges for leaking text

messages of government officials glenn greenwald in the free conscious involuntary way directly assisted encourage and guided to criminal group of hackers during a criminal practice acting as a guarantor of said group and also narrow is more than a little defensive he should not be here he says to in brazil where is he he was denounced by the justice system don't you believe in the system at the same time the president's son who is also an m.p. cannot contain his glee. glenn greenwald always said he loved brazil and wanted to get to move the country in depth maybe he will even get to know the inside of 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 that then 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 we don't believe in prosper they don't even believe in democracy they've repeatedly and explicitly praised the military dictatorship that ruled the country until they need to 5 years disappear your form of government and this is all about ushering in that level of repression whistleblowers and watchdog organizations are calling the situation a blatant attack on journalistic freedom absolute resolute this is unbelievably could be for revealing the extreme corruption at the highest levels of both scenarios administration and the nexus then shoot through it to investigative

journalism in brazil in an outrageous violation of press freedom the brazilian government has ignored a supreme court order in charge journalist glenn greenwald with cyber crimes for the intercepts investigative series on widespread corruption in brazil. well the government must immediately condemned this outrageous assault on the freedom of the press and recognize that its attacks on press freedoms at home have consequences for american journalists doing their jobs abroad leg langrune world the prosecution of glenn greenwald is once again putting the spotlight on the current administration's allege of corrupt dealings it's no wonder valsin are or has no love for journalists i don't believe glenn went over the line he didn't go in there and actually hacking himself he tried to protect their identity maybe suggested they delete a file that's not happy and this is exactly what they're charged julian assange chelsea manning had legal access to materials all that julian did was to help or hide her identity by trying to log in under an administrative may not her own name

and the year we see glenn greenwald worked with people who got these messages from what's up or what's not like system and big revealed unbelievable corruption a collusion between the judge and the prosecutors in a case against the lula da silva this is just a little journalistic behavior and i what's happened to glenn is part of a worldwide really crackdown on free press that isn't in a controlled corporate media this is got to stop this is an important case and i hope that glenn gets free and stays in brazil continues to do the job he's been doing. the president of the philippines as exclusively revealed he'll decline in the united states imitation to attend the southeast asian nations summit in march or trigger the task i was speaking to r.t. senior correspondent for i guess the if the fall into you will be here at r.t. this friday is a quick preview. i just received. the

invitation of the world to the united states were there with leaders. in the states i was invited by obama. will you go. you know. didn't you say he wanted to make friends. a yeah but you know one time when i was. being. good at this. and i his should have realized that there was also a head of software. but he said the lady said it's me in the proper venue. to . be united nations read. it but i said in the we're not on it but i swan so i got my soul i.

said i love the class if you get that. son over. this if you want to you know to use. a lot between the world's richest man and the saudi crown prince has got un rights experts involved and useful response to go the south. but we've also discovered that there are genes in our bodies that protect us from a gene we call these longevity genes and there's a set of genes that we work on in my love of harvard called the sort to and and for those to work effectively to slow aging and prevent us from getting diseases they

need a molecule called an 80. operations understand that a cost of doing business is buying and building support in washington d.c. and that includes staffing up with former members of congress put them on your payroll you want to hire a chief of staff from a powerful senator or a committee. member get their chief of staff put them on your payroll as a lobbyist this is what washington does on a bipartisan basis in fact i think it's the only point of true bipartisanship in d.c. is corporate influence over government. welcome

back to the program we are expecting these live pictures to show you from jerusalem international airport where vladimir putin is expected to arrive soon for that remembrance of the holocaust the 75th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz over 45 heads of state are expected britain's prince charles u.s. vice president. israeli. officials and high ranking ministers of course as well will bring you live pictures there where it is expected to arrive any minute of course being one of the keynote speakers at that event the biggest political event in jerusalem to date we can go live now to the city where paula is going to bring us the latest on that paula thanks for joining us what can we expect from the holocaust for mine indeed this remember incident today.

well as you correctly say this is the largest international forum that israel has ever hosted more than 45 world leaders and heads of state are in town to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz death camp now some 1300000 people died in our sweats which is in poland in the 2nd world war 90 percent of them would be russian president will be giving a main address at the memorial be yad vashem holocaust memorial the sauce to noon the polish president asked if he could speak and was told that there was not enough space in the attorney and he could be the main speaker at a different event but he subsequently refused to attend the ceremony and out of solidarity lithuanian plays a. it is not here yet but has today seemed instead the head of his parliament jerusalem where i am is in complete lockdown you cannot move around there are some 10000 security officers and police forces are some control earlier i did speak to

the head of the police who said that they haven't received any specific concerns or any security threats but of course the number one concern was the threat of terrorism so people have been advised to stay home most people will be at home watching television and watching the events of a hugely significant incident unfold. all right paula thanks for the update no doubt we'll get back to you throughout the day as that event takes place. opening another front in the global trade war washington's targeting a longtime ally in europe that's off the renewing threats to slap tariffs on it's all the trade at the world economic forum in switzerland that came in response to the e.u. move to impose a digital tax on giants shot at the whiskey 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. 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 well they have consultants working for them so you talk to people and you 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 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 british version of. it's going to be. gone and from say they're still talking things through. 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 the longer agree with the e.u. on anything on the same page we plan to go ahead with our digital services tax

it's really says it to you is gearing up for a digital tax leaving the u.s. 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 the new terror threat so almost a weekly basis from the trumpet ministration the french are boyd by the idea of 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 that will implement digital tax we're going to order global trade which is in nobody's interest and the result is not worth the effort 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 talks in paris next week the u.s. and e.u. the old allies could find themselves going head to head charlotte even. paris you can mix professor steve king believes america's push for a so national interest is having a detrimental effect on everyone else. since trump is in charge he'll do whatever he sees as being a win situation for america and a loss for the rest of the world i think of the cost of the because these companies are mainly american and he's going to impose 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 the companies services there if they're required to pay taxes in national jurisdictions like europe probably since they have to pay taxes in america from income and globally and of course that undermines the whole idea of having national sex ocean systems. human rights experts at the un have called for urgent

investigation into alleged the mobile phone hacking plot with 3 of the world's richest man the saudi crown prince a forensics analysis of i was in chief jeff bezos phone suggests his device was infiltrated by mohammed bin sullivan through private message bezos owns the washington post outlet where of course dissidents journalist jamal khashoggi worked before being killed at the saudi embassy in turkey that was back in 20 team he's kind of more pain and has the details. you want to fish holes are calling for an investigation into allegations that the phone of jeff bezos the world's richest man was hacked and who is the top suspect the kingdom of saudi arabia this is from the u.n. report the alleged hacking of mr bezos is food m those of others demand immediate investigation by the u.s. and other relevant authorities including investigation of the continuous month direct and personal involvement of the crown prince in efforts to target perceived

opponents the allegation is that the messenger application known as whatsapp was used to violate the privacy of the billionaire business owner in the united states and furthermore that the number used was apparently a number that has actually been used by mohamed bin solomon himself what's interesting here is that not only. jeff bezos the owner of amazon he's also the owner of the washington post that's the newspaper that employed him all to shoji and apparently that is what the crown prince was after the information we have received suggests the possible involvement of the crown prince in surveillance of mr basis in an effort to influence if not sign it's the washington post reporting in saudi arabia these allegations are relevant as well to on going evaluation of claims about the chrome prince's involvement in the $2900.00 mud off saudi and washington post. jamal khashoggi went into the saudi embassy in istanbul 'd and never returned he was literally hacked to pieces in october 28 teams and many

allege that it was the crown prince himself who ordered the killing at the time saudi arabia maintained this was a rogue operation but sense then 5 saudi officials have been sentenced to death over it however 3 top officials including the crown prince's top adviser have been cleared of any wrongdoing now after the killing of jamal to shoji outrage swept the planet the united states included however the trumpet ministration gave a response but it was slow we have identified at least some of the individuals responsible including those in the intelligence services the royal court the foreign ministry and other saudi ministries who we suspect to have been involved in mr death i don't like stopping massive amounts of money that's being poured into our country spending 110000000000 dollars on military equipment and things that create. for this country the kingdom of saudi arabia

purchases huge amounts of u.s. weapons and supplies us oil giants with huge amounts of crude the multibillion dollar relationship seems to take priority over the war in yemen human rights and other concerns riyadh denies any wrongdoing however the united nations once the. usa to conduct its own investigation to get to the bottom of what actually happened however if the killing of jamal khashoggi has shown us anything it's that the relationship with the monarchy is worth more than any allegations caleb mopp and r.t. new york for us the gesture of says it will take more than a killing on the phone to spoil us saudi relations. i don't think anything is going to break anything of the foreseeable on the horizon is going to break these close ties with saudi arabia. you know people had a little moment very nice about killing because after all he was part of the building. he was involved with the cia so this was

a terrible terrible thing just like however they don't they couldn't care less that saudi arabia has shown watering people in yemen in fact we're helping them do it and that means upgrading america's interest but putting israel's in saudis saudi arabia and it gets worse at least until we hear that seem power and i it states and i think it's just business as usual and saudis and all an awful lot has been too long a lot of money in washington and around and around the united states reminds me of when. obama was caught hacking angela merkel's cell phone after here. ukase announced plans to introduce tougher measures on terrorism is part of a so-called major overhaul a lot of tech tests will now assess where the prison is convicted of terrorism are safe enough to be released other measures include a minimum 14 year sentence for those convicted of serious offenses like the directional preparing terror attacks and early release will be denied to those

categorized as dangerous with risk assessments made by specially trained psychologists and in mum's the changes come off the london bridge attack late last year by a former inmate into a 12 month pleaded guilty to multiple type profile terror plots he was given a minimum of 8 years the requirement for his release was a parole assessment and terrorist rehabilitation program he was released in $28.00 team less than a year later he killed 2 and injured 3 in a stabbing attack. but article is ation problem in the u.k. jails has been highlighted before one report labeled the prisons as a fertile breeding ground for potential jihad is another said that a muslim extremist gang dominates life behind bars in britain we discussed the issue with stephen morris from the english democrats party and the habits defeat of the ramadan foundation. what we know now president is the process that.

presently. the. psychologists and the process is just do not work. do not work radicalization is rife within the prisons because we now know better off in fact you actually create more radicalized people and so we need a radical change and you've got to do it. as much as you can in your arsenal to try and address the issue how was 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 the point 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 obsessively about breaks in another issues and the last
