5:04 am
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 maad by the disagreement between russia and poland polish president and of course ostriches in poland has refused to come to this event because he was not given a speaking spot. holocaust memorial has said that he was offered the opportunity to speak at a different event but he has declined 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
5:05 am
comments by the polish prime minister a blatant a blatant rewrite of history saying that there were dozens of documents and i witness accounts that prove the contrary it was of course the raid on that liberated auschwitz source some 1300000 people killed and more than 90 percent of them were jewish 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. israeli president even rivlin has said that history should be left to the historians and everyday the world for politicians is discussing the future recent poll show that a growing number of young people have never heard of the holocaust or auschwitz and i caught up with a group here who are doing their best to try and change this from the ashes of the
5:06 am
auschwitz concentration camp emerged to woods never again 3 echoed 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 recent reports as many as 66 percent of millennial cannot identify asteroids and almost hoffa cannot even name one concentration camp some don't even know what the holocaust was there's 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 air 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
5:07 am
you know to go 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 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. well now as a baby i asked him before i did there that he asked why why you are there like you want to do our number of holocaust in your head i thought him. i want to keep his story. to tell my kids to tell my grandkids don't
5:08 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 was a holocaust survivor named dougal lightner 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 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
5:09 am
people will be able to actually to release and my hope is that you know the people you know with the will see the 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 for from history. again i'm running during which. we talked about the issue of politicizing the past or the see the holocaust historian for yad vashem the official memorial center in jerusalem 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 that has always been around it's happening i would say. increasingly in
5:10 am
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 and how do we teach it there's no doubt that the red army liberated auschwitz and that's and 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
5:11 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 saw through naming threats this laptop on its own who tried 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 they're going to get 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 still giants more interested in offering up a cup of joe as it plans to introduce a digital tax take for it seems that the big 4 that google amazon facebook and
5:12 am
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 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 digital giants pay their tax bill in the
5:13 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 who no longer agree with the e.u. on anything on the same page plan to go ahead with article services tax in april italy 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
5:14 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 the new terror threat so almost a weekly basis from the trumpet ministration the french are 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 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 us and e.u. the old allies could find themselves going head to head.
5:15 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 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 oppose taxes on them and they'll continue with that english axis and he could easily threaten to cut access to the guts of the countries if they are the company's services there or if there are quantify taxes in national jurisdictions like europe he would probably think that to pay taxes in america from income then globally and of course that undermines the whole idea of having national succession systems. packing cloth between the walls richest man on the saudi crown prince has got human rights x. what's involved in you stories still to come this hour.
5:16 am
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only move. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down. you know one of the best charts greatest charts i've really been studying for years now i don't know exactly how we're going to get into this but i just want to mention right here at the top the money velocity. 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
5:17 am
these longevity genes and there's a set of genes that we were. told the search and for those to work effectively to slow aging and prevent us from getting diseases they need a molecule called. the media brazil off the federal prosecutors charged toward winning journalist glenn greenwald with committing cyber crimes authorities have accused them of hacking top officials to get information on a high profile corruption case last year journalists and human rights groups though say it's a blatant violation of press freedoms one quarter picks up a story. brazil's president has never been a big fan of journalists if you don't go that was it will give you the money we've got this if you will go off i bet with that but no money. but what they're doing
5:18 am
with them if you are you know usually you know very motivated to do whatever you know that you are a bit of both of us on volume thank. you but as the president goes 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 a 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 him brazil where is he he was denounced by the justice system and should believe in the system at the same time the president's son who is also an m.p. cannot contain his glee glenn greenwald only said he loved brazil and wanted to get to move the country in depth maybe he will even get to know the inside of
5:19 am
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 wilson our government president bush norah multiple members of his government simply don't believe in a free press we don't believe in press freedom they don't even believe in democracy they've repeatedly. explicitly praised the military dictatorship that ruled the country in tonic nearly 5 years is a pure form of government and this is all about assuring in that level of repression whistleblowers and watchdog organizations are calling the situation
5:20 am
a blatant attack on journalistic freedom absolute red alert this is unbelievably make could retaliation for revealing extreme corruption at the highest levels of both scenarios administration and the nexus then sure threat 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. how 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 lingering 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 all has no love for journalists i don't believe len went over the line he didn't go in there
5:21 am
and actually acted themselves he tried to protect their identity maybe suggested they delete a file that's not how this is exactly what they're charged julian assange or 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 langley in walled worked with people who got these messages from what's up or what's not like system and they 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 that this is an important case and i hope that glenn gets free and stays in brazil gives and has to do the job he's been doing the. u.n. experts have called for an urgent investigation into an alleged mobile phone
5:22 am
hacking prot that involves the world's richest man of the forensics implicated the saudi crown prince that isis of evidence chief jeff bezos phone indicated his device was infiltrated by muhammad bin selman through a private message of as us owns the washington post outlet where dissident journalist jamal khashoggi worked before being killed at the saudi embassy in turkey back in 2018 caleb maupin 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 perceived opponents the allegation is that the messenger application known as
5:23 am
whatsapp was used to buy life 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 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 muddle of saudi and washington post joining 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 many allege that it was the crown prince himself who ordered the killing now after
5:24 am
the killing of jamal to shoji outrage swept to 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. 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 multi-billion 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
5:25 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 former u.s. diplomat says it will take more than a killing and a phone hack to 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 the saudi arabian interest 1st in the middle east and so we have the same network
5:26 am
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 so after 2 years. president of the philippines as exclusively revealed hill declined the united states invitation to attend the southeast asian nation summit in march but richard attests he was speaking to r.t. senior correspondent morag as the full interview will be on friday you can see a quick preview. i just received. the invitation for the world clearly no states i'm going to leave this. in the distance i was invited by obama and the. when you go.
5:27 am
did you see one of the many friends. you have but you know one time you know us. being. me in the proper venue. to the. united nations. so i got my. let's. bring in the off the news global headlines and i mean up next the cause report.
5:28 am
i am. i i. thought. i'd. thank you i. am. is your media reflection of reality. in the world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being
5:29 am
led. by. what is true what is fake. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us and the. already begun the shallows. max kaiser was just searching my 3rd eye there for a moment this is the kaiser report and you know one of the best charts greatest charts i've really been studying for years now i don't know exactly how we're going to get into this but i just want to mention it right here at the top it's the money velocity chart. the money velocity chart and we're going to be getting into that
5:30 am
momentarily stacy in fact that's how you're getting into this chart is by throwing it to me because i have that chart in my 1st headline here and it's a tweet while m $2.00 money stock doubled up 8 trillion dollars since the financial crisis and to money velocity the rate at which people spend money decreased by 30 percent it appears that newly minted money q.e. in stimulus doesn't really make its way to the economy and spending where is the money why print more so as you know the fed keeps on printing more more more their balance sheet is increasing. like straight up v. shaped since mid september early october and yet they're pumping it into a dead system because all they're doing it and all they can do is give it to billionaire bankers who can't even a spare.
