other thanks for joining us this. monday marks an emotional day for many people around the world exactly 75 years ago the red army liberated the auschwitz death camp in poland almost 1100000 people lost their lives at the nazi site in the most appalling tragedy of the holocaust liberation closed one of the most shameful chapters in history. there are actually 3 death camps at the site auschwitz one started a system of murder and torture back in may of 1945 prisoners life began at the registration building where he or she received personal numbers and from then on

became referred to by that number then there was assignment to the barracks which would be home as well as block 11 a prison inside the prison that was used for torture the campout a gas chamber crematorium an execution was. dubbed the death wall it's now the place where the memorial wreath placed for monday camp survivors visited the site to commemorate the victims it's estimated nearly $200.00 former prisoners from around the world will also take part in a memorial service peter oliver visited the camp. many of those who passed through the camps infamous gate with its mocking arbeit macht frei your work sets you free message survived only a few months the reichsbahn railway network was the arteries of the nazi war machine it 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 there were through the roof the 1st the people were loaded on the trains often unheated 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 inmates had their heads shaved all arrival that was then packed up and shipped to german companies for use as a raw material gold teeth were also removed in 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 that fell to fertilizing fields with the ash from bodies of those already murdered in cremated but we thought that there was an attempt to destroy the whole race from babies to old people and to do it modern

technology auschwitz amazes historians of visitors with this technology and how up to date 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 right 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 soviet 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 the 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 they originally planned on entering the camp liberating troops found 7000 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 you are putting 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 starving patients from the besieged city of leningrad. i might help save the lives of 7000 prisoners 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. for its birkenau poland. whole course prisoners personal numbers we usually sewn onto their uniforms but as the number of executions grew it became hard to identify bodies after clothes with removed corpses were sometimes marked with indelible ink and metal stamps auschwitz was the only camp to tattoo prisoners numbers onto their arms more than 400000 serial numbers were created that doesn't even include both never stamp but actually sent directly to the gas chambers uniforms or banshees primarily triangles that was to identify why the prisoner was there ranging from their political views to criminal past or homosexuality jews had a double triangle resembling a star of david the jewish symbol in these conditions here is our liberation was viewed from different sides of the gates.

the big. what you guys will order more units in europe we had our temperature taken every morning other prisoners told us that offer this some might be banned in the crime it's oriya we didn't know what that meant if someone had a high temperature that was it they were gone the. morning show called that but when we arrived we didn't realize it was a camp we could snow 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 on to 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. will publish anything carefully we so exhausted people they drop themselves out because of the cold. somewhere in blankets or rags we paid attention to. arise women of war we felt that they understood everything we understood that they were

being liberated 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. to the left after 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 crimean torreon but then we saw the train.

we were waiting for liberation. saved as we kept holding on to the end of my clearest memories are from when the soviet army came to liberate oh it was very moving we never thought we'd survive. when the red army entered ash whitsitt found about 7000 mostly ill and dying prisoners according to various estimates between 230 and 357 soldiers lost their lives in combat while liberating the camp that day ended the size industrial scale mass murder bringing the lessons of that appalling tragedy would never be forgotten . again exclusive access to the central archives of russia's federal security

service shedding new light on atrocities committed in the camp. 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 lemme car of points out the nazis did everything to conceal the extent of their atrocities mr muscle has been in places of mass destruction were carefully hidden trees were planted photos were seized taking footage of mass executions was prohibitive 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 gun ecology car kloberg took pride in his work into a geisha and files show that his research included female sterilization experiments on children and prisoners can salmon aided with infectious diseases the patients were deliberately killed so autopsies could be carried out. to you and 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 this is 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 shipwreck 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 bit there with a piece of rubber hose i kept a just for that in the winter people who had to bit terminated or forced to work naked until they co-op's 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 it 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 ramana cos we have already moscow lottie teamed up with the digital artist and he simeonoff and 9 schoolchildren to create an elevated tribute to the victims of auschwitz and to r.t. dot com to find out more here's a preview of that 3 d. virtual reality project. were. 'd 'd

u.s. pressure appears to be a defining long term split his washington backed interim government has cut diplomatic ties with cuba which is blaming the white house says the u.s. blames russian trolls for damaging stability in latin america to explain all his kaleb open. the u.s. is ringing the russian alarm bells once again this time for latin america state department analysts from the russian link twitter accounts 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 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 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. i. think this is. coming up now they tried to get up to here in the to recover political power again and when they can't win they're like since then that it was fraud now we're realize that it was not fraud but the.

this is that is why my resigning so that my opponents can not continue to persecute my socialist brugge this it's my duty as an indigenous president and the president of old believe 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 that 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 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 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 the thing 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 a little closer to washington d.c. cable mop and r.t. new york. ok still to come u.s. property owners will have to shell to form a prison asunder a new ordinance more on that after the break.

the world is driven by shaped by one person if there is. no dares thinks. we dare to ask. you know world of big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back a californian city is spawning property owners from conducting criminal background checks on potential tenants oakland city councils move designed to tackle the homelessness crisis is set for a final reading next month the target is to help form a 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 a community and this begins with a roof over your head. well under this ordinance landlords can be fined up to a $1000.00 for breaking the rule until now background checks were routine and they

could 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. now oakland itself has one of the highest homelessness rates in california the state which is has the most homeless people in the country the number of homeless in oakland search 47 percent in the last 3 years alone it's overtaken nearby san francisco and berkeley there are now more than 4000 people without a roof over their heads roughly one percent of the city's population and of that number one in 5 of ever had access to temporary shelter we discuss the issue with c.b.s. radio host karen 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 relief of re offense at all so any public safety issue is one of those 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 safety 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 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 to prohibit discrimination and i think there's a difference between. between having laws that allow for bonafide are legitimate concerns or says 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 it was used california as an example so it's also 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 while a lot of them are not working they are not employed they do not happy 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 god may have. got some other world news for you and a plane has crashed in afghanistan's goes need province a provincial spokesman claimed the plane had reported technical problems before crashing and bursting into flames so far there are no details of casualties also not clear whether it was a military or passenger flight but local media reports claim 80 people may have been on board. china the number of deaths from the corona virus has risen to 82700 people have been infected and officials warn the virus may have spread further and sometimes do not show up for days began more than

so when you want to be president. or something wanted us. to be cross it's like the 43 in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the was in the house. last question. during the great depression which i'm old must remember there was and most of my family were unemployed working class and it wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. of there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shape by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo doubt engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles

according to no on chomsky one set of rules for the rich opposite several so. that's what happens when you put her into the hands of a narrow sector of wilf which will is dedicated to increasing power for itself just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. seem wrong. but i'll just tell all. i mean. to say proud to stay active. and engaged in the trail. when something is find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
