in order to achieve certain political goals with history. from china. global. trade in his site the sanctions. from moscow thanks for joining us on our teams a national. program. dozens of world leaders are gathering in jerusalem for the city's largest ever political event that's the commemoration of the holocaust and bringing attention to a rising wave of anti semitism it's time to mark the 75th anniversary of soviet forces liberating the infamous nazi death camp. my dear family i'm writing
4:02 am
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 very well to you all. but i ask barack. the other thing i wanted to tell you was that i had several jobs in birkenau in auschwitz one of the jobs was clearing the ashes from where they bug juice through a tunnel to a small river. i worked there together with another guy who was already old he was 32 and i was 16. i didn't know what these ashes were. one day when i saw it in
4:03 am
daylight i asked. what is the job we're doing so he told me what it was. not me. blush. and never forget it every morning i look at my hands and see well i have the number here and i see it every day at a time in. russian president vladimir putin has already arrived in israel and met with the country's prime minister. tells us more about the expectations surrounding before. i'm here to visit and see these weighty president proven rivlin in jerusalem he is meeting
4:04 am
with the russian president vladimir putin as israel hosts its largest ever international forum there are more than 45 heads of state including the russian president the french president a cron at the same time persons prince charles and the american vice president mike pence however the event has been somewhat logged by the disagreement between russia and poland we've seen a major rift with the polish prime minister accusing russia of rewriting history he says of russia is not a liberator but rather was a facilitator of nazi germany and conducted and committed its own crimes both before and off to auschwitz however the fact is that it was actually russia who liberated poland and the russian foreign ministry has responded by calling these comments by the polish prime minister a blatant and a blatant rewrite of history saying that there were dozens of documents and eye witness accounts that prove the contrary it was of course the raid on that
4:05 am
liberated auschwitz source some $1300000.00 people killed and more than 90 percent of them were jewish however the polish president and of course auschwitz is in poland has refused to come to this event because he was not given a speaking spot not yet holocaust memorial has said that he was offered the opportunity to speak at a different event but he has declined the israeli president who even rivlin has said that the history should be left to the historians and that really the world for politicians is discussing the future the israeli foreign minister had this to say. i want to personally thank you for the fact that the red army free downshifts and helped in the victory over the nazis because my mother was one of those detained and was liberated by the red army relatives of those liberated from the camp know who freed them. recent polls show that a growing number of young people have never heard of the holocaust or auschwitz and
4:06 am
i caught up with a group here who are doing their best to try and change this 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 when it comes from members 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 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 so 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 air is going over its whose grandfather was a survivor outraged by recent studies showing the ignorance of 1000000 meals he set
4:07 am
up a project called humans of the holocaust while trying to do this project is actually you know to go on for 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 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 so he asked why why yaar. they're like you want to do number of holocaust in your head i've taught him if
4:08 am
i want to keep the story. to tell my kids to tell my grandkids don't date good looks wants to expand his project with more human stories so they would remember and never forget i would you for example there was a holocaust survivor named google lightning 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 a speech or holding your boom in the sheep of the you will 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 exhibition but when we took the picture and when he actually you know the rooney actually embraced it 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
4:09 am
find the resilience to actually you know to keep forward i'm sure when stories that people will be able to actually to release to and my hope is that you know the people you know with will 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 from history. and running during which. we talked about the issue of politicizing the pasta the senior holocaust historian for the organization behind their memories for him to explain why 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 marshalled very very selectively and other facts are very carefully ignored that's going on
4:10 am
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 is involved in what ways and what do they do and 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 in 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
4:11 am
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. opening another front in the global trade war washington is targeting a longtime ally in europe not so off the renewing threats the slap tariffs on it's also trade at the world economic forum in switzerland that came in response to the e.u.'s move to impose a digital tax on us tech giants on the show that it was q reports from paris. not being is a beethoven or 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 giants are more interested in offering up a cup of joe as it plans to introduce
4:12 am
a digital tax take form it seems that the big 4 that google amazon facebook and apple are trying their best to cozy 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 the 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. 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
4:13 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 gas attacks causing the trumpet ministration to go into a tailspin. but the companies are one of the british version of. 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
4:14 am
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 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.
4:15 am
paris economics professor steve keen believes america's push for its own national interests is having a bitter mental 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 in the case of the because these companies are mainly american and he's going to impose taxes on them and they'll continue with this axis and he could easily threaten to cut access to the guts of the countries if it's just a company he said is there or if there are quantify taxes international jurisdictions like europe probably think they have to pay taxes in america from income globally and of course that undermines the whole idea of having national succession systems. i think a lot between the world's richest man and the saudi crown prince un rights experts involved that some of the news stories that i have this out.

4:23 am
a 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 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 to malta 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 joining this democracy jamal khashoggi went into the saudi embassy in istanbul
4:24 am
'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 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 of theirs 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 multi-billion
4:25 am
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. r.t. new york a former u.s. diplomat says it will take more than a killing out of phone hacking to spoil the 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 reality 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
4:26 am
and that means up putting america's interests 1st but putting israel's and saudis the saudi arabian interests worse 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 the saudis 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 has exclusively revealed he will decline the united states invitation to attend the southeast asian nation summit in march madrid attacks he was speaking to r.t. senior correspondent laura gaz the if the full interview will be on r.t. this friday here is a quick preview in the meantime. i just received. the invitation for the world police state so we're there we should leave this.
