nor did other aspects of history are hardwired or even invented to a degree in order to achieve certain political goals with history becomes politics that it becomes dangerous. from china to europe washington is on the brink of a not that global trade war with the e.u. threatening to impose digital tox on us tech giants don't shop now as if it in his sight. on 3 pm here in the russian capital glad to have your company pick up at the biggest stories of the day so why. not stay as one of reflection dozens of wild commuters are gathering in jerusalem for the city's largest political event to commemorate the holocaust and bring attention to rising wave of anti-semitism it's

time to mark the 75th on a foster of soviet forces liberate infamous nazi death camp auschwitz. 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 very well to you all. but i am 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 into 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 daylight i asked. what is the job we're doing so he told me what it was. not me. blushing. i've never forget it every morning i look at my hands and see well i have the number here and i see it every day the time in. the russian president is attending and he is that and the israeli prime minister earlier dedicated a memorial in honor of the besieged russian city over leningrad during world war 2

now called st petersburg of course for me putin will be joined by heads of state from the 2nd world wars allied nations on will be the fost foreign need to give a speech off to israeli officials on the president of the european jewish congress the government says putin's address will focus on the red tommies liberation of auschwitz and the soviet union's contribution to the victory over nazis and of course the importance of not distorting historical facts through politics portishead tells us more about the exploitation surrounding the forum. well hosts its largest international forum there are more than $45.00 heads of state including the russian president the french president a cron at the same time versions of prince charles and the american vice president mike pence however the event has been somewhat laud by the disagreement between russia and poland polish president and of course our sources 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 we've seen a major rift with the polish prime minister accusing russia of rewriting history he says that 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 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 down schmidt's 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 for 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 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 $6000000.00 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 aspects and almost hoffa cannot

even name one concentration camp some don't even know what the holocaust was they have 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 up a project called humans of the holocaust what i'm trying to do this project is actually you know to their own 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 to talk 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 afterwards some young

people have come up with unusual ways of remembering the relatives my grandfather was. a hero he was a very very big part in my. when i was a baby i asked him before i did their school he asked why why young girl like you want to do a number of holocaust in your head i taught him if i want to keep you story. to tell my kids to tell my grandkids don't date could move its ones 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 google like your 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 it is exhibition but when we took the picture and when he actually you know the balloon we actually embrace and he was so happy he had the this huge smile these face you know everything connected because his message is that is no matter what is happening actually you're 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 with it 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 history. and running during which time will tell what we talked about the issue of politicizing the past

with the senior holocaust historian. the official memorial center in jerusalem he explained 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 marshal 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 was 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 actions already don't know what happened in many places young people young adults not not children but 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. story the people are talking about opening another front in the global trade war washington is targeting a long time ally in europe after nearing threats to slap tariffs on its altar trade

at the wild economic forum in switzerland that came in response to the move to impose a digital tax on u.s. tech giants are to shot a dubinsky reports. not being is a beethoven or for the idea is give a little here get a lot 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 apple are trying their best to cozy up to proselyte. 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. 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 gaffa tax causing the trumpet ministration to go into a tailspin. but the american companies are one of the

british. government. going to be. gone and from you they are still talking things. through possibly over a free couple from facebook other countries in europe 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 it's really says it too is gearing up for 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 the digital tax we're going to order a global trade war 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 jollity r.t. paris while economics professor steve keen believes that 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 of the cost of the because these companies are mainly american and he's going to impose taxes on them and they'll continue

without english axis and he could easily threaten to cut access to the guts of the countries if it's just a company services there if they're required to pay taxes in national jurisdictions like europe probably think they have to pay taxes in america from incoming globally and of course that undermines the whole idea of having national succession systems still to come a knockin cloth between the walls richest man in the saudi queen probably prince has bought one white sox pad from vault thoughts among all stories in just 90 seconds. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race on the spear in dramatic development only really exists i

don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. 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 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 work on in my lab at harvard called the search and for those to work effectively to slow aging and prevent us from getting diseases they need a molecule called in 80.

the media is on trial and brazil loft a federal prosecutors charged award winning jon this guy and greenwald with committing cyber crimes or forces have accused him of hacking top officials phones to get information on a high profile corruption case last year but john listen human rights activists alike say it's a blatant violation of press freedoms breaks it down for us. 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 are difficult but you know 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 palm thank you i didn't know much about 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 set group and also narrow is more than a little defensive he should not be here he says still 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 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 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 needed 5 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 retaliation for revealing extreme corruption at the highest levels of both scenarios administration and the next 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. 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 is a legit corrupt dealings it's no wonder balsa naro has no love for journalists i don't believe glenn went over the line he didn't go in there and actually hacking themselves he tried to protect their identity maybe he suggested they delete a file that's not accurate 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 langrune wald 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. u.n. experts have called for an investigation into not allowed to know about the phone hacking plot involving the wild which is a one off to forensics implicate to the south crown prince then out of his all of alice in chief jeff bezos telephone into kate it has to fight in for trade to buy mohammad to pull someone through a private message saudi officials though have called the allegations. the

information we receive suggests the possible involvement of the crown prince in surveillance of mr bezos in an effort to influence if not silence the washington post reporting on saudi arabia these are league asians are relevant as well to ongoing evaluation of claims about the crown prince's involvement in the 200-1000 murders of saudi and washington post journalist jamal bezos owns the washington post outlet where dissident journalist jamal khashoggi walked before being killed at the saudi embassy in turkey and 2018 the saudi world denied links to the incident back then last month the death sentences were given to 5 suspects in connection with the larger ones while several top officials who were investigated over the killing were cleared of charges due to insufficient evidence the incident strained relations between riyadh and many of its western allies in germany for example as well as several other european states imposed bans

a weapon sales to saudi arabia following the larger washington refused to take action however with president donald trump stating publicly that he didn't want to lose the gulf kingdom's business. i don't like stopping massive amounts of money that's being poured into our country spending $110000000000.00 on military equipment and on things that create jobs like others for this country former u.s. diplomat jim jot just says it's going to take a lot more than a kenning 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 up getting america's interests 1st but putting israel's in saudis the saudi arabian interest 1st in the middle east and so we have the same network of power and client states and i think it's just business as usual in saudi pedal an awful lot of influence along a lot of money in washington all round and round the united states sort of reminds me of when. obama was caught hacking angela merkel's cell phone after 2 years. to drop in a symphony the president of the philippines has exclusively revealed he will deploy the united states invitation to attend the southeast asian nation somewhat in march when drink i detach i was speaking to senior correspondent want guys to have the full interview will be on our team this friday but for now here's a quick preview. i just received. the invitation for the 39 states i'm going to leave this. have

been given the distance i was invited by obama and the. when you go. did you see one of the many friends. yeah but you know one time and i was. being. good at this. now he said of what he had. to say it's me and to prop up a venue. to. be united nations but. it puts it in the. slave.

that's all for now what you know is up next i'll be back to. see them. through. you. will. you. join me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics. i'm showbusiness i'll see that.

operations understand that the cost of doing business is buying and building support in washington d.c. and that includes stuffing up with former members of congress put them on your payroll if 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 partisan basis in fact i think it's the only point of true bipartisanship in d.c. is corporate influence over government.

what makes the world go round hawk watchers well if you guessed gravity you'd be right but if you're living in the global capitalist the economic mess we are today then well it's money money clearly makes the world go round and round and round and round and right off its axis this week just in time for the annual meeting of our financial masters of the universe at the world economic forum in davos switzerland oxfam international released its latest report on the truly staggering wealth inequality that's gripping our world today crunching the numbers the report found that in 2019 the world's billionaires only 2153 people had more wealth than 4600000000 people this great by it is based on a flawed and sexist economic system essentially my friends that means that the very
