i. the nazis factory of death. was liberated exactly 75 years ago by soviet forces the 27th of january has become an international. remembrance day in memory of the millions of jews killed during the 2nd world war. the wrongs. trying to focus on facts not mainstream headlines the united states president references u.s. news outlets and. look at how washington uses language to shape the narrative around the middle east the nation. of russian protests across latin america and u.s. army veteran calling himself. his influence on the region. social media with its

money 69 2nd. thanks for joining us on our team. hawkins thanks for joining us. a monday marks an emotional day for many around the world it's exactly 75 years since the red army opened the gates to auschwitz in poland almost one and half 1000000 people were brutally murdered at the nazi death camp in the most appalling tragedy of the holocaust it's a liberation close to one of the most shameful chapters in history 75 years on the memories of those who survived are still painfully fresh.

the a feeling you'll see at the ball is a boy nazi soldiers and it was in the winter that is at the moment that the mom and i were in the village at that moment the nazis all just started drinking and be trying to the point that they began to pull the children from the 2nd floor did she might heal with us and shoot at them like targets. wishing it that it. would break and if we jumped from the windows into the snow drift and flat footed they shot at us at the local saved us. this is their left over we were sitting on the tram. that when a nazi soldier took a step forward someone shot him in the back. that the transmedia he surrounded they pushed us out and paced us against a wall as. a boy was said to me. i ran to the street to the left. there was a woman with a child. she took my hand i didn't know she was jarman tested it to stop the

soldier she told him that i was her child and he had a skirt and i had mine on proposed deal. with a flat so we were only wearing like dresses they attached us to a convoy of prisoners it was a very moving without food and water with sic the name people that i wear yes when some people fall they shot them immediately when we could not walk we had to carry each other. then we were slaughtered on the left with the sick the lame and old. my mom was just thrown to the right breast the king wanted but that at that and i could ignore it she shouted girls hold each other's hands all your life never bought these were her last words.

if america was at risk honestly if i once who was such in front of street of my sister he found just a wall and we wrote on the wall. we are home yes. i am. the holocaust prisoners had their personal numbers sewn on their uniforms and that's how they were referred to as the number of executions grew it became hard to identify bodies after clothes were removed corpses were sometimes marked with indelible ink and metal stamps auschwitz was the only camp to tattoo prisoners

numbers on their arms and more than 400000 serial numbers were marked that doesn't include those who never marked and sent directly to the gas chambers uniforms had badges primarily triangles but i defy y. the prisoner was there ranging from their political views to a criminal past or homosexuality jews had a double triangle representing the star of david that's a jewish symbol of peace all over reports from auschwitz. many of those who pass through the camp's infamous gate with its marking are by far your work sets you free message survived only a few months a lot of those who arrived here at auschwitz birkenau will murder it immediately for others a more torturous lingering fate awaited as the subject of grotesque and obscene medical experiments over 1000000 people perished here the reichsbahn railway

network was the arteries of the nazi war machine was also the mode of transportation used for what reich leadership with cold matter of factness called the final solution to the jewish question the extermination of european jews and really with those who were the 1st the people were loaded on the trains often and heated freight carriages sometimes people were transported in possible 3rd class passenger carriages they were advised to take all of their valuables with them and some food and warm clothes regardless of the time of year in other words people were led to believe that they were being taken for resettlement they use different tactics to trick people to make them let their guard down inmates had their heads shaved on a rifle that was then packed up and shipped to german companies for use as a raw material gold teeth were also removed and barbaric fashion any possessions taken away suitcases shoes i lasses pots pans those not killed

immediately put to work in a par and conditions for some it fell to fertilizing fields with the ash from bodies of those already murdered in cremated nazi authorities invested heavily in them a car charnel houses to make them as efficient as possible but we thought that there was an attempt to destroy the whole race from babies to old people and to do modern technology auschwitz amazes historians of visitors with this technology. how up today he was just for the purpose of killing people with gas as the end of the war reproached the soviet military closed in on territory which had spent 2 years under the jackbooted nazi occupation reich officials in charge of the camps tried to cover up their crimes those inmates that could work were sent towards germany on what became known as death marches buildings were blown up and bodies burned sending huge plumes of smoke skyward it was these attempts to cover up what had

been happening here that prompted some of your generals to investigate what had been going on. with the book why do we say that liberating and saving the prisoners was truly a heroic deed because a marshal cohen a commander of the 1st ukrainian front received intelligence on this horrific camp and how did they get this information because there was smoke the nazis were burning everything including bodies to raise all traces of their crimes so kind of adjusted the plan of the offensive and auschwitz liberated 2 days earlier than originally planned i have had many conversations with general vassily petrenko he was the commander of a division that took part in the liberation he told me his division was suddenly ordered to change the direction of the main attack so the president's going to be released after heavy fighting between retreating nazi forces and the red army the soviets were able to enter auschwitz birkenau on the 27th of january on entering the camp liberating troops found $7000.00 prisoners in dire need of medical

attention however the hundreds of thousands of items of clothing and almost one ton of human hair betrayed the true extent of the crimes committed here with who did go to the red army arrived and as soon as our journalists the soldiers saw the people from the camps they immediately realized they needed help so they started providing medical care there was a hospital with experience of treating mounir and star. when patients from the besieged city of learning grant and that help save the lives of 7000 prisoners it would take extensive investigation of reich records and the site of the murder camps in order to determine the true scale of the horror the slaughter in 2005 the date of deliberation 27th of january was declared international holocaust remembrance day by the united nations acknowledging both the crimes of nazi germany and the actions of soviet troops in liberating the camp peter all over r.t.

from with birkenau poland. there were actually 3 death camps at the site these are all over took us through the biggest and deadliest auschwitz birkenau the 1st one though our for its number one began its system of murder and torture back in may and 40 prisoners life began at the registration building where he or she received personal numbers and there was assignment to the barracks which would be home as well as block 11 a prison inside the prison used for torture the camp had a gas chamber credit or him an execution wall dubbed the death wall and when the red army entered auschwitz it found about $7000.00 prisoners alive most were ill or dying according to various estimates between 2 and 350 soviet soldiers also lost their lives in combat while liberating the camp that day ended their sights industrial scale mass murder bringing hope the lessons of that pall of tragedy will

never be forgotten. in other global headlines now donald trump and the iranian foreign minister have been trading barbs online it all began with the u.s. president's tweet addressing teheran where he referenced 2 u.s. news outlets the message was also translated in farsi though trump's attempt at the language didn't impress iran's top diplomat. donald trump is better advised to base his foreign policy comments and decisions on facts rather than fox news headlines or faster translators or trumps reliance on mainstream media comes amid growing use by u.s. diplomats of catchphrases the former narrative as r.t. senior correspondent ragas the explain. the reason slogans a superpowerful is because they're simple and dumb intentionally stupid and marketed to the lazy the average person never reads the print it's hard to sell

them complicated things but if you give them a stupid dumb shew good soup invent he can agree with hillside right up works with anything shoes drinks legends and even wars president said we don't want war we want iran to behave like a normal nation we are diplomatically and economically isolating their regime in iran in till they behave like a normal nation we will meet with them where want to sit down discuss without precondition a new way forward a a series of steps by which iran becomes a more normal country what does normal nation even mean nothing but it spreads the impression that iran isn't normal and if people believe it because of a dumb slogan you can do anything to the radiance and the public won't mind they've been at this for a decades and gone through a number of slogans around as the world's biggest dates bonsor of terror as far as

iran goes this is the single biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world iran remains the world's worst state sponsor of terrorism biggest sponsor of terror you think they did the math of course not but it's it's catchy scary and simple a drug for the uninformed all the know all they remember is what's in the slogan take syria you don't need to know what happened who's fighting whom why they're fighting all the need to know is in the slogan assad needs to go time for assad to get out of the way. has to go the future of syria can't include assad the world will not waver assad must go the only way of the civil war will end is. a new government without bashar assad and the thing with these phrases is they're catchy part of the reason why they work so well and the more people that catch on the

better they work making countries like syria become places where people actually want to live means having a government that's not terrorizing its people and that is why as sad must go we hope that these efforts will lead to a new syria with no rule for the shuttle or sit in that they have a slogan for everyone they don't like russia of course lots of nice little catch phrases ambiguous to the point of nonsense but catchy what kind of threat do you believe russia presents to our democratic process in my view the greatest threat of any nation on earth i do feel a democracy under threat there is the challenge from without that is the russian challenge a major threat facing our great nation russia come to think of it you could call anything a threat to democracy social media with all its fake news bad weather that might prevent people from going to the polls but hey at least russia isn't

a grave threat north korea is a worldwide threat that requires world wide action north korea has abandoned its own commitments and violated international law on its nuclear and ballistic missile programs pose a grave threat to peace and security of asia and to the world in the end what scares me isn't shoop and slogans what scares me is how many people believe and that still to come u.s. property owners will have to shelter for prisoners under a new ordinance or that story after this short break. you know world big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up

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 on the back 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 watching closely watching the hawks. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. saying . we ask.

the international the kind of phony in cities banning property owners from conducting criminal background checks on potential tenants oakland city council's move designed to tackle the homelessness process is set for a final reading next month and the target is to help pull criminals reintegrate into society and not end up on the streets. this ordinance is about making sure returning community members have equal opportunities they deserve to successfully reintegrate into our community and this begins with a roof over your had launder the ordinance landlords can be fined up to 1000 dollars for breaking the rules until now background checks were routine make it almost impossible for people with criminal records to rent accommodation of course has one of the highest homelessness rates in california the state with the country's largest homeless population the number of homeless in oakland has surged

47 percent over the past 3 years alone it's i would take a nearby san francisco and berkeley there are now more than 4000 people without a roof over their head they're roughly one percent of the city's population of that number only one in 5 even have access the temporary shelter we discussed the issue of t.v. and radio host culture and turk and prison legal news editor paul right. i think this is very irresponsible on behalf of the government behalf of city officials there's a rate of re offenders that's as high as 40 percent per people who've been in prison and the bottom line is that owners need to be informed they need to protect their property owners that's what this city is about this is not really a correlation between people's criminal history and also there's there are levels of of re offense of all so many public safety issues one of them is that we know is that not having a job and not having a place to live increases reset of his or rates and in fact endangers public safety

if the landlord can find a legitimate reason to deny someone a property to rent to them they're still able to do that they just can't use a blanket issue like a felony conviction or the background checked itself as the basis to deny housing civil liberties should not trump people's safety if we have freedom in america but you know what we can't just bend into p.c. culture that we're so worried about offending everybody that we're putting our own safety at risk as americans and it's something we have to take a good hard look at you know there are plenty of people that have a lot of missions on their record i happen to be one of them and i'll take responsibility for that and although not here right now you know if there's a reason that we need to keep these histories hidden there is probably something to hide it's one thing to say that you know property owners have a right to rent to whom they wish to and another one of the if they're going to be renting they have to comply with laws that prohibit discrimination and i think there's a difference between. between having laws that allow for bonafide or legitimate

concerns were says those that are just the basis for glam boards of bigotry or prejudices this is totally irresponsible to call this bigotry this is not bigotry it's not the same thing discriminating against someone because of a choice that they made to commit a crime is entirely different than excluding somebody based on race how can we meet back in paris that. and this is not going to solve this crisis and i think that's why i'm so upset about this this is really backwards because he is california as an example since those who are talking about tens of thousands of people were convicted of possessing marijuana are you going to use that as the basis to exclude people from housing today when that same activity is legal these people who are homeless are going to have a hard time renting no matter while lot of them are not working they are not employed they do not have the income to substantiate these rentals and it's irresponsible to the owners that are paying taxes and supporting this city it's

just completely the world gone mad out. some news from around the world in brief in china the number of deaths from the corona virus has risen to 82700 others have now been infected health officials are warning the virus may have spread further symptoms sometimes don't show for several days the outbreak which began more than a month ago has moved across the globe affecting countries including france canada and the united states. police in baghdad fired tear gas as thousands gathered for government rallies on sunday just as were denouncing police brutality following saturday's protest where several people were killed and dozens injured more than 600 have died since demonstrations began in october people coming out against corruption and social inequality. american basketball legend kobe bryant has died in a helicopter crash in california along with 8 others on board

a private helicopter went down in a field and burst into flames near los angeles the victims include bryant's 13 year old daughter. u.s. pressure appears to be dividing the long term allies believe years washington backed interim government has cut diplomatic ties with cuba which is blaming the white house as the u.s. blames russian trolls for damaging stability in latin america in explains. the u.s. is ringing the russian alarm bells once again this time for latin america state department analysts found that russian link twitter accounts want to sow confusion in south american nations that oppose the moscow backed government in venezuela in bolivia immediately after president evo morales resigned on november the 10th the number of tweets associated with those type of accounts spiked to more than 1000 a day up from fewer than 5 and in ecuador peru bolivia colombia and chile over

$130.00 day period russia linked accounts posted strikingly similar messages within 90 minutes of one another now amid their unproven claims about a russian descent from asian operation they seem to have overlooked the work of a certain louis sarek who calls himself a cyber rambo it turns out i'm a cyber rambo now the anti morale us activist was tweeting out as many as 69 posts in a single 2nd in his one account and tweeted out more than 13000 messages claiming that the ouster of evo morales was not a coup well the actual nature of events tells a different story than what saurez was tweeting let's review. in the. hours now they tried together here in the to recover political power again and when

they can't win they're like since they invent that it was fraud now we're realize that it was not fraud but the coup de ta. the. the. this is. he does he doesn't know why my resigning so that my opponents can not continue to post acute my socialist drug this it's my duty as an indigenous president and the president of old to seek the east. but saurez voice was amplified throughout the

internet claiming that the ouster of an elected leader by the military was somehow a triumph for democracy and did sorry as go into hiding not at all soros actually boasted about his efforts to sway social media opinion and how they were so effective with an algorithm that was just 25 lines of code. how is this to bolivian with one cleat produces more trees than all the next to efforts to support it it tight so it's important to note that saurez isn't just a person who's highly interested in bolivian politics to oblivion himself he's also a veteran of the us military now he denies that he's currently on active duty or in any way connected with cyber command or intelligence agencies and we'll just have to take his word for it i see the hand of the u.s. in this age see the hand of the cia in this and the national down and for democracy this is an overwhelming amount of social media activity in support of the coup and

this was being done by a us military veteran says clearly was a coordinated effort to overthrow the democratically elected government of a well moralities we have to look at social media as you know just another public platform and in this case it has been and will be used to support today to cause in countries like libya they're going to continue to use both the mainstream press and social media to carry out these types of regime change efforts. but twitter has strict policies against this kind of manipulation when we detect suspicious levels of activity accounts maybe looks and prone to to provide additional information but somehow one guy could have just spammed evo morales out of office so with all this talk of russian bots and kremlin conspiracies perhaps people should look for these cyber manipulators who operate

a little closer to washington d.c. they look mop and r.t. new york up next the little convention shuttle do cool for the national interests hold too much power for all the u.k. viewers it's going on the grounds with the short time thing. in the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the u.s. and the world. max kaiser and stacy herbert dig into the burning questions of this election cycle one topic every week. tax student debt trade wars corporate money universal basic income and more catch up with what's front running this sunday exclusively on r.t. . join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show
