thursday to commemorate the holocaust bring attention to a rising wave of ulti semitism it's time to to mark the 75th anniversary of salvia forces liberating ice which they have famous death camp in nazi occupied poland. 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. the other thing i wanted to tell you was that i had several jobs in birkenau in

auschwitz one of the jokes was clearing the ashes from where the bug juice through a tunnel into a small river. and 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 him in daylight i asked him 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 of time in the.

world leaders of the holocaust memorial for and spoke about the importance of remembering the horrors of what happened during a solemn service. you know what you're in there is the international august for a world where nonconductor of loving your spectacle they performed for an audience that's heard among other things israel thanking the red army for its role in the victory over naziism while in his address president putin described the holocaust as one of the darkest moments the world has ever seen. it but your school. before my visit to drusilla i looked through the official documents and reports of red army offices after the liberation of auschwitz concentration camps i must say dick

colleagues it was impossible to read the details of how the merciless machine of people extermination worked these crimes conducted by the nazis were deliberate and well planned what they called their resolution of the jewish issue is one of the darkest emotion full pages in modern world history israel is hosting its largest if the international forum more than 45 world leaders are here in jerusalem attending the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz now amongst those who addressed the crowd was the russian president vladimir putin he said it was the soviet army who brought to an end the crimes of the nazis but that it came at such a huge price some say some $27000000.00 soviet citizens who had died at the same time he said that russia stands for truth and justice for me invited those countries of the world who have held those valleys to stand alongside with that he proposed to me shin up the permanent members of the un security council to be held

this year and he offered russia as the host country to deal with these kind of issues and make sure that such horrendous atrocities do not happen again and use whatever the scheme blown them 1st of all it was the soviet. people who ended the barbaric plans of the nazis as it's been already mentioned here they protected their own land and liberated europe from naziism with the blood we paid for this with the price that had never come in the worst nightmares of any nation 27000000 people killed we will never forget this but despite a 2nd feiss there are those who do not see the soviet union as a liberator in a somewhat damming opinion a piece the polish prime minister say that russia was not a liberator but had actually condoned and assisted nazi germany now the polish president declined his invitation to attend the ceremony because he was not afforded the opportunity to speak like was the russian president and i was the official organizer you have a shame say that he had been asked to speak at

a separate event the russian ministry of foreign affairs has come up quite strongly against the canes made by the polish media is saying that they are essentially rewriting history and that it's a known fact that russia was the army in the country responsible for liberation both auschwitz and poland and the israeli foreign minister agrees. 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 the israeli president has said that the history of the 2nd world war in the holocaust should be lifted historians one statistic to come forward is the fact that a large number of youngsters have had seen the show or know very little about the 2nd world war auschwitz and the holocaust i caught up with it in here in israel who

are trying to change that from the ashes of the auschwitz concentration camp emerged to woods never again. through the generations as warning in a few days when it comes remembrance day will be committed. ated 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 so people named and shamed by the controversial year 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 i'm 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 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 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 from when i was a baby i asked him before i did so 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 some day can of it's ones to expand his project with more human stories so the would we remember and never forget. i would give for example there was a holocaust survivor named dougal like 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 sheep of the 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 the picture that i want to portray and you know it is exhibit that 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 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 from history. and running during which. in time on monday poland will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the arse which death camp the following is a story of a man who survived the horrors there but a slew of sick was actually born in the concentration camp to survive along with his mother we spoke with him about the liberation of ice which. on your mortgage and people tell us but there was no liberation they say so if there was no red army then there wouldn't be me or other prisoners oh my mother i have never questioned

the merits of the soldiers i have always been grateful the prime minister and the president criticized the red army equally it was the same under the previous authorities no they admit there was a liberation of auschwitz but at the same time they say there was no liberation of war so they call that the 2nd occupation admit that auschwitz was liberated but that was so and other cities were not i don't know maybe the americans liberated them we discuss the issue of shifting perceptions of the 2nd world war with a number of observers here swap they shared with us this is a classic case of distortion of history if you try and deny the that only the fact that those who read ot me liberated auschwitz but the incredibly enormous role played by the red army in the defeat of nazi ism. the other hand you can

understand why people who were liberated from that seas but later had to had to endure a soviet system don't feel that they were really liberated there was one person whose response of world war 2 and that of hitler there's one country that's responsible world war 2 and that's not true germany is one of those few cases in history where the war didn't take accidentally it wasn't a mistake and it's one of the clearest cases of good versus evil we have a situation in the world frankly we're facts don't seem to matter anymore people are rewriting facts just to fit their particular narrative and we find that particularly among nationalists the soviet people bled more than anyone else during world war 2 the soviets gave up more in terms of men fighting and civilians who died than any other country during world war 2 and if it wasn't for the soviet union i have serious doubts whether hitler would have been defeated and i don't think anyone can really question that yes the united states is also of course key

and it wasn't for the united states is industrial might the soviet union might not have hung on during the war but the united states provided the industry invited soldiers to obviously many americans were killed but the united states provided the industry the planes the tanks etc in the soviet union bled and fought and bled and defeated the nazis on the battlefield. a russian computer programmer accused by the us of laundering billions of dollars in bitcoin has been extradited to fronts according to his lawyer she claims her client was on lawfully taken from a hospital where he was being treated after being on hunger strike so we. spoke to r.t. . alexander disappear today he was taken by police forces who ordered the doctors to release him even though she was exhausted than now on the 35 day hunger strike. as his lawyer i assure you that they had no

right to take him because today's decision by the supreme court was not executable i have been in contact with all competent greek authorities today and i'm till 930 nobody knew where alexander was it was confirmed to me by my french call that alexander vinegars already in france in the hospital they will try to interrogate him at this state where he has been barred from communicating with me since yesterday night his rights are being violated i'm sure he is very afraid and terrorized by this procedure because he had absolutely no information on what happened there has been a court decision which was available after 4 o'clock but this is not a decision which allows extradition however it is proven that he was moved to

france before even this decision was issued this is a non lawful procedure against a human being who is inside told to his rights and to his dignity let's give you some background to this case 40 year old alexander vinick was arrested in 2017 the u.s. accuses him of funding a digital currency exchange that facilitated cyber crime and drug dealing in the french authorities claim he carried out cyber fraud from his prison cell moscow wants to question him as well although similar charges on thursday greece approved his extradition to all 3 countries before the latest ruling russia's foreign minister criticized the greek authorities for refusing to examine the evidence presented by moscow and earlier this month alexander vinick claimed he had been tortured whilst in greece. they're trying to use torture and psychological pressure to break me they do not allow me to breathe fresh air the last time they let me out

for a walk for a few minutes was on new year's eve i'm a man without rights illegally imprisoned in greece for 30 months without charges they want to destroy me for my knowledge they want my head on a block just because of what i know and my technological abilities alexander of an ex lawyer again talk us through the next stages and defending her client. i am now in contact with my french court liquids already at the hospital where alexander has been transferred or in paris i have already filed a letter with the judges of investigation in order not to examine him in these conditions during the night while he's exhausted and he doesn't know what's happening because i had no time to even inform him of the court decision masking therefore with my letter the judges to respect human rights law and respect procedure give postponement of his hearing and not do not hear him in this frail

condition and of course we have already made an appeal to the united nations working group against arbitrary this detention we are still waiting for them to take action it's very important that alexander be protected and we will exhaust and me legal procedure and anything that we can do to protect this individual because when alexander's rights are violated everybody's rights are violated. the potential huge ramifications following this next story a lot more ruling by the united nations has stated that climate refugees cannot be sent home from countries they're seeking asylum in if their lives are in danger that judgment sets a precedent for future claims. the committees of give you the boss national and international efforts the effects of climate change you receiving states made spores individuals to a violation of their rights thereby triggering dinara full my obligations of

sending states so how did all this come about while the case was brought by an islander from current bazzi in the pacific ocean who claimed he was in danger due to rising sea levels so he applied for asylum in new zealand but was rejected he also failed at the un after that but the case set a precedent that others could apply no that's because the world body rules of the climate crisis could expose individuals to a violation of their rights that states could not legally send refugees back to their countries of origin germany's interior minister has spoken out against the us really. most studies suggest that environmental change is a trigger but not the sole cause of migration decisions political commentator david vomits former leader of the wales green party. thrust on the issues here earlier. i think the u.n. ruling is a good one we're going to see millions and millions of people maybe 300000000

people. fleeing climate change where the through starvation or drought storm flood to certification and we have to be ready for it we have to start talking about this here's the facts on this one 1st of all this is a normal legal decision by the un human rights commission it's just another way till essential exploit the un's puppet to advance open borders and you know even at the most obvious level i can't believe anyone swallows this kind of go this is not restricted to the developing broke world we have most of our cities i think there are something like 32 of the world's greatest cities largest cities are likely to be under water london new york it doesn't make any sense to just to look at this in any way other than the fact that people will be on the move but pepper you've

missed something you've just said so many of 4 leading cities are going to be under water so you see all these people coming from the less developed world i mean we can surely import them and submerge cities and therefore city submerged or i don't mean any road is suggesting that all these people what you're saying is that's bring 3rd world people to submerge their base doesn't make a lot of sense does it i didn't say anything i mean what i'm secure suggesting what i'm saying is what the scientists are saying is that we are going to have our own climate refugees the developing world it's not all flattened it's not all at sea level but it will. be necessary for many many people to start moving in all sorts of places in the world in all sorts of continents no most continents can deal with them internally but some can't well the fact of the matter is that this year. un human rights committee decision it isn't legal it's not binding every

sensible country even germany is going to reject it so people like pepper can continue to dream on but what we need to do as a country is to protect our borders protect our people and look after our own. opening another front in the global trade war washington is no targeting long time allies in europe it's renewed threats to slap tariffs on the blocks trade in response to the e.u. move to impose a digital tax on u.s. tech giants reporting from paris charlotte to. not being is a bit of an art form 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 it seems that the big 4 that google amazon facebook and apple

are trying their best to cozy up to process 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 lot being 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 their h.q.

is registered but as they've grown new questions are being asked as to why they were paying tax on income derived in individual countries their fronts led the charge by imposing this so-called gas attacks causing the trumpet ministration to go into a tailspin friends. but there are companies i don't want to bridge trashing american companies if they're going to be taxed it's going to be. the corner and trump say they are still tooling things through possibly over a free couple from facebook other countries in europe are no 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 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 boy by the idea of safety in numbers what will they do tomorrow to 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 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 joints 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. on the paris lobbies or

a lot from the studio here in moscow for an hour we are crossing to some more great programs though in moments on r.t. international stay close and i hope to see you soon. trade and investment to become magic spells to come economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged between countries and the investment chopped or of a trade agreement is about something very different but won't when investment leads to toxic manufacturing that destroys secret sites all ruins the environment. that means if local communities that are being poisoned if they object if they do anything that the company feels is interrupting their profits they can be sued. the nationals are taking on the whole nation's philip morris is trying to use i.s.t.'s

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. max kaiser i was just searching my 3rd 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 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 prints 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 of spend the money they already have so it just sits there it hoards it doesn't move it doesn't circulate we have zombie companies in a zombie economy it's worse than gold. now that that chart goes back many years and

we've been talking about it for many years and the reason why economists like paul krugman or others modern economist roubini roubini they don't like gold because they believe in this idea fractional reserve banking where banks hold only a fraction of their reserves on their books and they lend that out and then the banks receiving that hold a fraction on their books and they lend that out and they create a velocity of money so that the economy can grow faster and more robustly than if you had gold because gold if it was a 100 percent gold backed economy it would be in virtually impossible to generate g.d.p. growth more than one half a percent 3 quarters of one percent so they want 2 percent they want 3 percent and the only way to do that is by using fear of money and fractional reserve banking so the central bank pumps in the sea out money to keep that fractional reserve

momentum going and then as a bit.
