money universal basic. and more church up with what's front running this sunday exclusively on r.t. . well ladies and dignitaries attend a holocaust memorial ceremony in jerusalem ahead of monday's out of a story about king 75 years since the liberation of auschwitz we hear from a survivor of the nazi death camp. come to. know liberation really saved but without the red army there would be no me my mother or other prisoners. the so-called protective cia torture techniques including waterboarding testifies at a military tribunals hearing and says he has no regrets. and the death toll from the corona virus outbreak in china reaches 18 according to state media and there are now 2 and a half 1000 confirmed cases nationwide. from

moscow where it's just past 3 in the morning you're watching the weekly here on out international welcome to the program. on thursday dozens of world leaders and dignitaries gathered in jerusalem to commemorate the holocaust it was time to mark the 75th anniversary of soviet forces liberating auschwitz the infamous 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.

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 the 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. 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 time in the.

world leaders at the holocaust memorial form spoke about the importance of remembering the horrors of what happened israel thanked the red army for its role in the victory over naziism and vladimir putin gave an address describing the holocaust as one of the darkest chapters in world history. before my visit to jerusalem i looked through the official documents and reports of red army offices after the liberation of auschwitz concentration camps i must say to colleagues it was impossible to read the details of how the terrible machine of human extermination works those crimes by the nazis were deliberate and well planned what they called the final solution to the jewish question is one of the

darkest and most shameful pages in modern world history but today not everyone in poland views the red army as the liberating force some of the country's top officials believe the u.s.s.r. was actually responsible for the start of the war and president andre do they refused to attend the commemoration because vladimir putin was given a chance to speak at the forum before him we discussed this issue with historian marc shulman editor of history at central dot com. clearly the fact that poland wasn't there was missed the fact that he wasn't there a little bit less so 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 a polish nationalism is rewriting a little bit of history to better look upon the polish people other nationals to doing the same and people are ignoring the real facts i mean this and 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 in terms of historical fact the us finds present mike pence how the chose not to emphasize the role of the red army in liberating auschwitz raising questions as to whether that was deliberate. when soldiers opened the gates of auschwitz on january 27th 1905. they found $7000.00 half starved half naked prisoners. hundreds of boxes of camp records that documented the greatest mass murder in history this is missed ration in the united states on both sides of the aisle are 1st of all very ignorant of history unfortunately and also there is a kind of a wave of crucify o.b.o. that has swept the us over the past several years started in the democratic party of course trying to find

a way to blame someone for the loss of hillary clinton but now it's that i know it's so bad that anything russian that's mentioned even this even the soviet activity in world war 2 is is just it's just forgotten so you know it's it's a massive stereo on the us part. well one survivor's harrowing story is not only about escaping the death count but actually of being born there too we spoke with him about the liberation of auschwitz and how its perception has changed over the years. people tell us that 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 the previous authorities know the admit there was a liberation of auschwitz but at the same time they say there was no liberation of warsaw recall that the 2nd occupation. was liberated but that was so and

other cities were not i don't know maybe the americans liberated them well one day it will mark exactly 75 years since the prisoners about fits for sept here on r.t. international be following the memorial events of what is an emotional day for so many around the world. and other news from the week a psychologist dubbed the architect of the cia's enhanced interrogation techniques post $911.00 is an apologetic about his role in any torture program that admission came during a military tribunal which is preparing a trial against 5 guantanamo bay inmate the attacks in 2001 whatever personal consequences i would live with i believe there was a genuine threat of an imminent attack i thought my moral obligation to protect american lives outweighed temporary discomfort of terrorists i get up today and do it again. well james mitchell was contracted by the cia in the wake of $911.00 to consult and create an interrogation program for al qaeda suspects he was one of 3

men authorized to carry out waterboarding torture technique that mimics drowning on several prisoners later he and another psychologist set up a company that provided support for the interrogations the cia's program included now illegal coercive measures. in the immediate aftermath of 911 we tortured some. lawyers for the $5911.00 detainees are now seeking for any statements made under interrogation to be disqualified from the trial on the grounds of torture and he will activist sara flounders believes the guantanamo bay court proceedings a deeply flawed. but none of this could possibly be a fair trial i mean how can you have a fair trial with people who've been held in total secrecy whose testimony is based

on torture. the media isn't allowed in the except for conditions so strict that they can't even have a picture of the court room all the testimony is restricted. that none of this none of this a layers and layers of secrecy is about providing any kind of justice or accountability or even of information it is going through a theater in order to once again exert their power their power over people's lives and we should just note that there were juveniles who were youth who were held for years at guantanamo there were people who had nothing to do who were simply sold for bounty who were kuantan m o $780.00 prisoners and then the thousands who were held in secret rendition or around the world no accounting for them so this was

a huge program and its ramifications were still feeling today. well the 1st to say name mr mitchell water boarded was a palestinian man known as abu zubaida he was never been challenged for the crime but remains indefinitely in guantanamo bay he was the 1st known cia prisoner to undergo in hunts interrogation and lost an eye while being tortured during his time as a beta has attempted to illustrate his experiences in a warning that you might find some of the following images distressing. as soon as they locked me up inside the box i tried my best to sit up but in vain

for the box was too short i tried to take a curled position but to no avail for it was too tight the very strong pain made me scream unconsciously. they kept pouring water and concentrating on my nose and my mouth until i really felt i was drowning and my chest was just about to explode from the lack of oxygen . the. long hours went by while i was standing in that position my hands were tight to the upper bars. it felt like an eternity to the point that i found myself falling

asleep despite the water being thrown at me by the guard. there is absolutely no justification that can ever be given or accepted for the horrendous and systematic torture that was used and it was used and authorized from the highest levels from the presidency the f.b.i. the cia the top levels of the military the studies were known the conditions were known this isn't just one or 2 people michel and jennings this was an entire unit set up in order to use torture and to study how to apply the most excruciating forms of torture of pain of waterboarding of slamming of of packing into tight boxes of stress positions and on and on all of this really has to be exposed and there are accounting demanded not only of those who designed the torture but of those who set up these torture camps. and

deadly corona virus outbreak which began in china in mid december has spread to at least 10 countries cases have been confirmed in france the u.s. and australia all chinese authorities say they're dealing with more than 2000 cases 80 people have died in the country so far which chinese authorities have warned that the virus appears to be evolving and is showing greater potential to pass from one person to another presidencies in ping earlier warns of a grave situation at the spread of the virus accelerates 18 cities in one province have been put on lockdown leaving some 56000000 people on the travel restrictions meanwhile the russian health ministry has warned of a serious risk that the current virus could spread across its 4000 kilometer border with china and we can get a sense here of the areas affected since the spill out from mainland china the countries with confirmed or suspected cases china the outbreaks epicenter is far ahead in terms of confirmed episodes and many neighboring nations also have

containment to deal with while as mentioned the virus has traveled vast distances to donal quarter breaks down and what is known about this deadly virus. people are dying of a new virus and it's spreading like wildfire across asia if we still know so little about this mysterious illness. and. this new coronavirus has been identified as a mutation of sars a respiratory disease that killed over 750 people around the world from 2002 to 2003 antibiotics have absolutely no effect on either of the viruses and that's been

enough to put the russian authorities on high alert not least because a chair is a border with china the break of a new corona virus which was 1st recorded in china carries a body logical threats to the population of russia the $1500000.00 chinese tourists that visit russia every year have now become a potential public health risk russian authorities have begun screening them at all international airports prepared to diagnose the virus if it appears on top of that moscow has advised people against traveling to china russia is not alone in being worried about the outbreak reaching its territory a number of other countries have begun screening for the disease at airports as well as opinions nationally in the just cases you know is the answer to one over no phones at places which are further away if this is outbreak continues as we're seeing oversea globally highly connected and so it is likely increasingly

likely that we will see potentially a case of china stepping up containment efforts after she stressed the serious. this of the outbreak on national television the disease also got the attention of the world health organization they've called for an emergency meeting to decide whether or not to declare the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern that's a title reserved only for the most serious of epidemics and with the lunar new year millions of chinese around the world are expected to return home to their families one can only hope beijing will have the situation under control. of the trump impeachment saga rumbles on in the u.s. russia isn't far from the minds of the democrats will break that story down and in moments.

what hope to do so. he put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go right to the press this is what the 3 of them will be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. flesh. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race is on all sides very dramatic development the only really i'm going to lose is i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

welcome back now this week the u.s. and democrats concluded their arguments against donald trump while passing his impeachment trial to the senate russia was a hot topic during the opening speech on wednesday and adam schiff the democratic lawmaker leading the impeachment case mentioned russia several times russian intelligence services russian expansionism russian forces and their proxies russia kremlin russia's president vladimir putin the russian military agency it's we can fight russia over there are the russians through russian efforts thanks to vladimir putin when the president said hey russia if you're listening. they were listening that's the russian story. over the cameras focused on the senate floor due to

a ban on filming it was left a sketch artist to capture the atmosphere in the chamber some of the pictures showed members having trouble staying involved in the process stretching their legs stude ling and even sleeping senators also faced a 12 hour no phone policy will set the desks we spoke to journalist and political commentator chadwick moore and he says that even the strongest supporters of trump's impeachment to board with the anti moscow narrative. the democrats already has 100 percent of their energy and their time into trying to remove a duly elected president from office their biggest hoax russian so completely flat and even their strongest of where everything is a pillar of the president of latter even their strongest supporters the people who most want to believe that the president will be removed from office which he absolutely will but even they've grown bored with this narrative and when they start ripping up russia again. it's just so sad you can't help but laugh and laugh and laugh and below see 7 times at last count referred to russia or putin

is the impeachment proceedings well how do you deal with the most effectively you either mock them and laugh at them or you ignore them and gosh darn it that drives them insane came. on the topic of climate change significantly shaped much of the 2020 world economic forum this week which wrapped up and so on saturday in the luxury swiss result of devils it set the stage for an unlikely battle between america's treasury secretary steve nation and teenage activists that don't book the u.s. finance chief got the ball rolling she the chief economist who is she i'm confused after she goes and studies economics in college she can come back and explain that to us it doesn't take a college degree in economics to realize that the remaining 1.5 degree carbon budget and on going fossil fuel subsidies and vestments died up well stephen ation is not the 1st u.s. official that gretta to work has clashed with of late back in december donald trump

suggested the activists should quite work on her anger management problem and their differences and disputes continued at the world economic forum simon from the in case you missed it team takes a satirical occurring side. it's that magical time of the year when our wealthy overlords gather for the economic forum a glitzy gathering looms for bringing together the world's business elite yet the one percent meat for champagne in the mountains leaving the 99 percent to pray for nonviolent. because hundreds of thousands just to go to davos for that filthy rich demand to be entertained and this year they got rock row tickets for the heavyweight championship of the world though trump says grad. school for gratitude. is in a ski resort this week with an actually gets away with their release sending us a high work. pay for full price ticket.

to a slow start the worry she warms up quicker than the atmosphere. already one year ago i came to divorce and told you that our house is on fire. i said i wanted you to panic you could forget i've been warned that telling people to panic about the climate crisis is a very dangerous thing to do thank god for that because i've got to say with the way she's been talking i thought perhaps no one had told her we must forget about net 0 we need real sea of well all i need is some good news let's see what's happening in the orange corner fear and doubt is not a good thought process because this is a time for tremendous hope and joy and optimism in action. knows what he's doing

and knew there was nothing to worry about carbon emissions we must reject the perennial prophets of doom and their predictions of the apocalypse don't it calm down. i mean and i he's not the life of the party but he's just a kid it seems in the area where trump and grettir can see. today i'm pleased to announce the united states will join one trillion trees initiative being launched here at the world economic forum one trillion trees oh yeah great is going to love that one we're not telling you to offset your emissions by just paying someone else to plant trees in places like africa while at the same time forests like the amazon are being slaughtered at an infinitely higher rate ok so this is going to be a bit harder for what. we all do and is it nothing can be done sitting here right
