it was not in attendance after a dispute with russia holocaust survivors say it is vital to distort and politicize the past. no liberation. there would be no me my mother or other prisoners. in their russian computer program or by the u.s. . dollars. according to. thomas certainly glad to have you with us. dozens of world leaders and dignitaries gathered in jerusalem on thursday to commemorate the holocaust and bring attention

it to a modern day resurgence of anti-semitism this comes before the 75th anniversary of the liberation of 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 farewell 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 it in daylight i asked. what is the job we're doing so he told me what it was. not me. blush and i've never forget it every morning i look at my hands and see well i have the number hit and i see it every day time in. world leaders at the holocaust memorial forum spoke about the importance of remembering the horrors of what happened during

a solemn ceremony. that was a performance by musicians from around the world led by a conductor who of course the event was broadcast live online in 6 different languages and president putin gave a speech describing the holocaust as one of the darkest moments the world has ever seen. it but yes it was before my visit to drusilla i looked through the official documents and reports of red army offices after the liberation of auschwitz concentration camp 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 and more than $45.00 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 that 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 soviet citizens who had died at the same time he said that russia stands for truth and justice i mean vita those countries of the world who have held those values to stand alongside with ed he proposed to me shin of the payment and 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. whatever the skin 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 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 says there are those who do not see the soviet union as a liberator in a somewhat damning opinion in peace 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 freed outfits 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 moring 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 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 from members day will be commemorated around the world the tragedy of $6000000.00 jews who were tortured to 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 hoffa cannot even name one concentration. some don't even know what the holocaust was these be multiple cases of people disrespecting concentration camps with the sophies something that so people named and shamed by the controversial your new cast 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 outreach by recent studies showing the ignorance of 1000000 meals he set up a project called humans of the holocaust and what i'm 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 or anyone else 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 the children who 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 that he asked why why young girl like you want to do number of holocaust in your head and i thought even if i want to keep the story alive to tell my kids to tell my grandkids don't they could know which ones to expand his project with more human stories so the would remember and never forget i would you for example add there is a holocaust survivor named google like you know he told me that the only thing that

actually kept him going while he was in the holocaust was a sense of humor and he suggested we will take a speech or 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 the picture that i want to portray to succeed mission that when we took the picture and when he actually you know the loony 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 stories that people will be able to actually to relate to 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 from history. degree granting during which. on monday poland will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the auschwitz death camp the following is the story of a man who survived the horrors of their lives love or sick was actually born in the concentration camp and managed to survive along with his mother we spoke with him about the liberation of auschwitz. 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 or my mother i have never questioned the merits of these soldiers i have always been grateful the prime minister and the president criticized the red army equally it was the same under previous authorities know they admit there was a liberation of auschwitz but at the same time they say there was no liberation of war so we call that the 2nd occupation. was liberated but that was so and

other cities were not i don't know maybe the americans liberated them we discussed the issue of shifting perceptions of the 2nd world war with a number of observers here's what they shared with us this is a classic case of distortion of history if you try and deny the that only the fact that there is a red army liberated auschwitz but the incredibly enormous role played by the red army in the defeat of nazi ism. on 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 responsible world war 2 and that's out of fessler there's one country that's responsible world war 2 and that's not to germany is one of those few cases

in history where the war didn't take quite accidentally it wasn't a mistake it's one of the clearest case of good versus evil but we have a fit situation in the world frankly where 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 had loaded been defeated and i don't think anyone can really question that yes the united states was also of course key and it wasn't for the united states's industrial might the soviet union might not have hung on during the war but the united states provided the industry and invited soldiers too obviously many americans were killed but the united states divided the industry the planes the tanks etc in the soviet union bled and for 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 france from greece this according to his lawyer she claims her client was unlawfully taken from a hospital where he was being treated after being on a hunger strike for more than a month zoe constantinople low spoke to r.t. . alexander disappear today he was taken by police forces who ordered the doctors to release him even though he was exhausted and 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 until 930 nobody knew where alexander was it was confirmed to me by my french call

that alexander vinick is already in france in a 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 his 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 entitle to his rights and dignity some background here for you on the story 40 year old alexander vinick was arrested in 2017 u.s.

accuses him of found a new digital currency exchange that facilitated cyber crime and drug dealing the french authorities claim that he carried out cyber fraud from his prison cell moscow wants to question him as well on 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 that he had been tortured while 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 am 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 vinokourov lawyer again talked through the next stages in defending her quite. i am

now in contact with my french call liquids already at the hospital where alexander has been transferred all year 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 does 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 the legal procedure

and anything that we can do to protect this individual because when alexander's rights are violated everybody's rights are violated. a landmark ruling by the united nations has stated that climate refugees cannot be sent home from countries that they are seeking asylum and if their lives are in danger the judgment sets a precedent for future quantity. the committees of give you the boss national and international efforts the effects of climate change are receiving states may expose individuals to a violation of their rights thereby triggering dinara full my obligations of sending states the case was brought by an islander from your body in the pacific ocean who claimed that he was in danger due to rising sea levels he applied for asylum in new zealand but was rejected also failed at the un but the case set a precedent that others could apply the world body rule that the climate crisis

could expose individuals it to a violation of their rights and that states couldn't legally send refugees back to their countries of origin germany's interior ministry has spoken out against of the un's ruling. most studies suggest that environmental change is a trigger but not the sole cause of migration decisions political commentator david vance and a former leader of the wales green party pippa. gave us their views on the story. 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. 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 simple as our. u.s. has threatened to impose tariffs on cars from the e.u. if brussels goes ahead with a digital tax on us tech giants are dubinsky reports now 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 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 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 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 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 this so-called 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 pot. simply over

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. see paris just under 35 minutes that's when i'll be back with another look at you know international. you know world big partners. and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each

other it's time for critical thinking. it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for washing clothes for watches the hawks. trade and investment to become magic spells to conjure economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged between countries and the invest for chapter of a trade agreement is about something very different but what one investment leads to toxic manufacturing that destroys sacred sites all ruins the environment. that means that if local communities that are being poisoned if they object if they do anything that the company feels is interrupting their profits they can they serve no multinationals of taking on the whole nation's philip morris is trying to use i.s.t.'s to stop oracle wife from implementing new tobacco regulations aimed
