a degree in order to achieve certain political goals when history becomes politics then it becomes dangerous. also award winning journalist glenn greenwald is charged with cyber crimes in brazil reporting on a high profile corruption scandal media and human rights activists from across the world pulling his case a blatant violation of press freedoms. and from china to europe washington is on the brink of another global trade war with the e.u. threatening to impose digital tax on u.s. tech giants now trade in his sights for sanctions. that would mean welcome to the program. dozens of leaders have gathered in jerusalem for the city's largest political event to commemorate the holocaust and

bring attention to a rising wave of anti semitism it's time to mark the 75th anniversary of soviet forces liberating that infamous nazi death camp. 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. but a good one because i did it 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 tunnels to a small river and i worked there with another guy who's already he was 32 and i was
2:03 am
16 i didn't know what these actions 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 promised myself that my ashes never. that i would you want but. it's something you 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 that on the last words again. well despite the commemoration attending to unite nations the polish president
2:04 am
won't be attending the country's prime minister accused moscow of rewriting history in an opinion piece calling russia far from a liberator as this white sacrificing hundreds of thousands of people in its operation to rid poland of the nazis russia's foreign ministry has roundly rejected the prime minister's claims as a blatant distortion of history we talked about the issue of politicizing the past with a holocaust historian who thinks it's important to avoid manipulations. 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
2:05 am
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 would happen 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 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 after all
2:06 am
of the holocaust happened it can happen again and doesn't have to be germans and jews next time. but you can watch sure that interview with david silva in full that will be on air later throughout the day we can go live now to tel aviv airport where the putin has just touched down for that holocaust forum in israel that is the presidential plane air force one landing right there it's fun of course to mark this 75th anniversary of soviet forces liberating the nazi death camp auschwitz over 45 heads of state in attendance russian president also joined from. the ministers and high ranking officials from all across the world. marking heads of state arriving from the 2nd world wars allied nations he's also going to the 1st foreign leader to give a speech after of course is really officials and the president as well of the european jewish congress now the kremlin says putin's address will focus on the red
2:07 am
army's liberation of auschwitz and the soviet union's contribution to the victory over fascism and of course the importance of not distorting historical facts through politics and politicized. and these very prime minister benjamin netanyahu will later unveil a commemorative memorial in downtown jerusalem it's dedicated to the besieged russian city of london grabbed during world war 2 now of course called st petersburg. russia leaders also set for talks with netanyahu on the escalating crisis in the middle east concerning iran will bring you some more live pictures of those leaders are rivals as and when they happen. meanwhile a poll conducted in the u.s. has shown a significant gap in the holocaust awareness especially among millennial. has more on that. from the ashes of the auschwitz concentration camp emerged to woods never
2:08 am
again the echo through the generations as a warning in a few days when it comes from members day will be commemorated around the world the tragedy of $6000000.00 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 millennia of 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 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
2:09 am
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 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 so he asked why why ya girl like you want to do number of holocaust in your head i thought him. i want to keep the story alive. to tell my kids to tell my grandkids don't date good looks wants to expand his project with more human stories so that would
2:10 am
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 a yellow boom in the shape of the yellow badge the jews were forced to put on their sleeves during the holocaust and in the beginning i wasn't sure that this is exactly that picture that i want to portray you know in this expression but when we took the picture and when he actually you know to be able to me 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 release and my hope is that you know the people you know when people
2:11 am
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're all supposed to learn from you know from the history. of running during which. opening another front in the global trade while washington was targeting a long time allowing europe of the renewing threats the slap tariff sort of trade at the world economic forum in switzerland a response to the use move to impose a digital tax on e.u. take drugs. 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
2:12 am
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 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
2:13 am
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. the corner and trump say they are 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 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
2:14 am
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 a boy 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 to 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.
2:15 am
paris economics professor steve keen believes america's push for its own national interests 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 american 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 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 they are the company's services if they're if they're required to pay taxes in national jurisdictions like europe he would probably think they have to pay taxes in america from income and globally and of course that undermines the whole idea of having national succession systems. the media is on trial in brazil off the federal prosecutors charged the world winning journalist grand greenwald with committing cyber crimes authorities have accused them of hacking top
2:16 am
officials fudged to get information on a high profile corruption case last year the journalists and human rights activists say it's a blatant violation of press freedoms one quarter picks up the story. brazil's president has never been a big fan of journalists if you don't go there was a call to give the money to the secular god we thought that was that but the money it will provide still a difficult but that's what they're doing with them and you know you never know if you're right usually you know very motivated to do everything in order to be a bit of both of us on palm. but asking for them going to others 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

2:20 am
a case against the lula da silva this is typical 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 that 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. public the hacking caught between the world's richest man in the saudi crown prince has got human rights experts involved that some of our stories still to come . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. theory dramatic development only. exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and

talk. you know one of the best charts greatest charts i've really been studying for years i don't know exactly how we're going to get into this but i just want to mention right here at the top it's the money velocity chart. the money velocity chart and we're going to be getting into that. but we've also discovered that there are genes in our bodies that protect us from aging we call these longevity genes and there's a set of genes that we were. called the search and for those to work effectively to slow aging and prevent us from getting diseases they need a molecule called. the

program experts have called for an urgent investigation into alleged mobile phone hacking plots involving the world's richest man of the forensics indicate that the saudi crown prince analysis of the i was and chief jeff bezos telephone indicated his device was infiltrated had been solved through a private message. to the washington post outlet journalist jamal khashoggi work before being killed at the saudi embassy in turkey that was back in 2018. as that he told. 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 his phone i'm those of others demands immediate investigation by the u.s. and other relevant authorities including investigation of the continuous munty a direct and personal involvement of the crown prince in efforts to target
2:23 am
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 is jeff bezos the owner of amazon he's also the owner of the washington post that's the newspaper that employed jamal 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 bezos 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 muddle of saudi and washington post showing this democracy jamal khashoggi went into the saudi embassy in istanbul 'd and never returned he was literally hacked to pieces in october 28 teams and
2:24 am
many allege that it was the crown prince himself who ordered the killing now after the killing of jamal khashoggi outrage swept the planet the united states included however the trump administration 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 do. like stopping massive amounts of money that's being poured into our country spending $110000000000.00 on military equipment and or things that create. like. others 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
2:25 am
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. r.t. new york for years the. says it will take more than a killing on a phone hacked spoil u.s. 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 momentary loss about his killing because after all he was part of the nobility he was a. washington post 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 is slaughtering people in yemen and in fact we're helping them do it and that means not putting america's interests 1st but putting israel's and saudis
2:26 am
the saudi arabian interest 1st in the middle east and so we have the same network of power and i it states and i think it's just business as usual in saudi pedal an awful lot has been so long a lot of money in washington all round and round the united states reminds me of when. obama was caught hacking angela merkel's cell phone after 2 years. the president of the philippines as exclusively revealed he will decline the you know it is that it's invitation to attend the southeastern nations summit in months but triggered attacks he was speaking to r.t. senior correspondent well i guess the if the full interview will be here on this friday he's a preview. i just received. an invitation from the state so where do we leave this. in the distance i was invited by obama and the. when you go.
