a 2nd. from moscow thanks for joining us and. welcome to the program. a monday marks an emotional day for many around the world exactly 75 years ago the red army liberated the auschwitz concentration camp and poland almost one and half 1000000 people were brutally murdered at the nazi death site in the most appalling tragedy of the holocaust is a liberation close to one of the most shameful chapters in history here's how it was viewed from different sides of the gates. logic gosh well order of warrior to get up we had

a temperature taken every morning other prisoners told us that offer this some might be banned in the credits orian we didn't know what that meant if someone had a high temperature that was it they were gone. morning show called that but i didn't when we arrived we didn't realize it was a camp we could smell burning we had smelled something similar before but here it was unusual acrid heavy after one question we drove the germans out of the village and came out onto a field huge fenced with wire around the perimeter behind us barbed wire there were buildings like barracks we thought it was a german military base. level

we were playing later we saw people behind the fences we were on alert because we didn't know who they were but they realized who we were and started making welcome signals with their hands. or publish anything carefully we so exhausted people they drag themselves out because of the cold. somewhere in blankets or rags we paid attention to the. rise of warmth we felt that they understood everything they owned us to be liberated the hell that they had been kept and it was over for them.

the ambulance battalion began providing 1st aid to prisoners and our kitchens also came. with those. left off the selection they put it in line and took us to the camp and that's it we thought they would burn us alive or shooters one day passed then 2 days and nobody came for 3 days we didn't know anything and suddenly they arrived in trucks put it in them and drove us to the railway station we thought they were taking us to the crime and torreon but then we saw the train. we were waiting for liberation hope saved as we kept holding on to the end of my clearest memories are from when the soviet army came to liberate us it was very moving we never thought we'd survive.

hola course the prisoners had their personal numbers so no uniforms and that's how they were referred to but 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 a more than 400000 serial numbers were created that doesn't include those never stamps and sent directly to the gas chambers uniforms had badges primarily triangles to identify why the prisoner was there ranging from political views to criminal past the homosexuality jews specifically had a triangle representing a star of david a jewish symbol one cost of has more on life and death in the camp. i received

exclusive access to the central archives of russia's federal security service these documents are a testament to the atrocities committed during the 2nd world war in just 4 years the nazis systematically murdered at least over a 1000000 people in auschwitz most of them jews and that's the official number those responsible didn't bother to keep records of the industrial scale of the slaughter i suppose there were around 3000000 people killed in auschwitz 2 and a half 1000000 of them through gas chambers i myself never knew the total number and i have nothing to help me arrive at an estimate i can only remember the figures involved in the larger reactions however witness accounts in the russian federal security service archives show that those figures could be much higher by as much as millions as historian bloody mary mccarthy points out the nazis did everything to conceal the extent of their atrocities as the muscle has been places of mass

destruction were carefully hidden trees were planted photos were seized taking footage of mass executions was prohibited so based on the prisoner accounts the number could be up to 6000000. the newly declassified documents also paint a gruesome picture of the atrocities in the camp the contents of this file will send shivers down anyone's spine professor of going to college a car kloberg took pride in his work into a geisha and files show that his research included female sterilization experiments on children and prisoners contaminated with infectious diseases the patients were deliberately killed so autopsies could be carried out. to do it he thought he was doing it in the name of medicine in the name of healing people all these experiments were conducted mainly in accordance with the s.s. program to annihilate the peoples of occupied countries. gas chambers and mass

shootings by the nazis were not the only means of systematic. thurman nation a large number died at the hands of the guards and supervisors who were picked from among the prisoners by the s.s. alfred's shipped back a former member of the polish on the ground was in charge of a whole block in auschwitz supervisors like him eager for money and an increase in daily rations would execute fellow prisoners and claim they tried to escape their reward $2.00 more experts say and some extra food i didn't report to anyone when punishing the prisoners i did myself a big there with a piece of rubber hose i kept a just for that in the winter people who had to be terminated were forced to work naked until they collapsed and died between 2 and 300 people died this way 3 female s.s. guards in this file were sentenced to death by the soviet union after their atrocities were exposed to. these sadists arrange so-called

races prisoners carrying a heavy load were made to run 700 to 800 meters all while being beaten they dug out a pit about 60 meters long and 2 meters deep women would starve to death and their bodies were burnt in the same pits after the liberation of auschwitz soviet counter-intelligence work meticulously to document and expose these crimes against humanity so that they would never be repeated for money cos we have already moscow . there were actually 3 death camps at the site chutes one was the main one and 1st one to be set up began its system of murder and torture back in may 940 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 a level a prison inside the prison used for torture the camp had a gas chamber a criminal or a man execution will double the death wall and when the red army entered our ships

it found about $7000.00 prisoners alive most were ill or dying according to various estimates between 230 and 350 soviet soldiers also lost their lives in combat while liberating the camp that day ended the sights industrial scale mass murder bringing hope the lessons of that appalling tragedy will never be forgotten. donald trump an iranian foreign minister have been trading barbs online it all started with the u.s. president's tweet addressing to iran where he referenced to u.s. news outlets a message was also translated in farsi that trumps attempt at the language didn't impress iran's top diplomat donald trump is better advised to base his foreign policy comments on decisions on facts rather than fox news headlines or 40 translators. trump's reliance on mainstream media comes amid growing use by u.s.

diplomats of catchphrases to form a narrative as r.t.c. a correspondent wrote guys the f. explained. the reason slogans and super powerful is because they're simple and dumb intentionally stupid and marketed to the lazy the average person never reads the fine print it's hard to sell them complicated things but if you give them a stupid dumb shoop good slogan that he can agree with hillside right up works with anything shoes drinks leg sions and even wars president said we don't want war we want iran to be if what the normal nations 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 decades and gone through a number of slogans around as the world's biggest dates bonsor of terror as far as iran goes dish 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 they 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 that 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 a 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's 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 in that still to come u.s. property owners will have to shell to form a prisoners under a new ordinance more on that story after a short break. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and should. want to be. that you're going to be crushed this is what the 3 of the people are. interested always in the lives of. their ship.

welcome back to the program the california cities by owning property owners from conducting criminal background checks on potential tenants open city council's move designed to tackle homelessness crisis is set for a final reading next month the target is to help form a criminals reintegrate into society not end up on the street. 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 head. well under the ordinance landlords can be fined up to $1000.00 for breaking the rule until now of course background checks were routine

making it almost impossible for people with criminal records to rent accommodation the move is aimed at getting people off the streets and helping former inmates stay out of jail oakland has one of the highest homelessness rates in california itself the state with the most homeless people the number of homeless in oakland has surged 47 percent just in the last 3 years it's overtaken nearby san francisco and berkeley as well there are more than 4000 people without a roof over their head they're roughly one percent of the city's population of that number another one in 5 don't even have access to temporary shelter we discussed the issue of t.v. and radio host catherine 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-offend ers 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 at all so many public safety issues one of these that we know is that not having a job and not having a place to live increases research it is a rates that 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 shucked 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's 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 to prohibit discrimination and i think there's a difference between. between having laws that allow for bonafide are legitimate concerns worsens those that are just the basis for the landlords 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 you know she is california as an example so so so we're 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 what a 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 they are paying taxes and supporting this city it's just completely the world gone mad. in other world news and sean of a number of deaths from the coronavirus has risen to 82700 others have been infected health officials warn the virus may have spread further a symptoms sometimes don't show up for 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 anti government rallies on sunday protestors were denouncing police brutality following saturday's protest when several people were killed and dozens injured more than 600 have died since

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 today up from fewer than 5 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 saga rambo now the anti morale is activist was tweeting out as many as $69.00 posts in a single 2nd in his one account and tweeted out more than $13000.00 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. i. think this is an.

hour from 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 tung. the. do you this he doesn't know why my resigning so that my who does not continue to post acute my socialist druggists it's my duty as an indigenous president and the president of old believe the seeds of peace. 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 over the next his efforts to suppose that it tight so it's important to note that saurez isn't just a person who is highly interested in bolivian politics to oblivion himself he's also a veteran of the u.s. 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 i see the hand of the cia in this and the national down in for democracy this is an overwhelming amount of social media activity in support of the coup and

this was being done by a u.s. military veteran society really was a cool ordinated effort to overthrow the democratically elected government of a well morales 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 us in countries like olivia 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
