conflicting reports over a plane crash in taliban territory in afghanistan as the militant group claims the aircraft belonged to the u.s. air force. it's exactly 75 years since one of the darkest chapters of humanity came to an end with the liberation by saving forces of the auschwitz concentration camp when you were 27th is now international holocaust remembrance day for the millions of jews killed during world war 2. in the news france bans a type of crowd control grenade numerous protesters critics say it's just a political ploy designed to win votes in upcoming municipal elections.

that are joining us this is r.t. international. conflicting reports are emerging about a plane that is scratched in afghanistan's guards need province say taliban controlled territory the militant group claims it was an american actor after while the u.s. media site sources suggesting also it was a u.s. military plane let's go live to kabul to local journalists fighting somewhat more information do we know at this point. according to local prevention will governor spokes person of gosney if the bodies will arrive in a few hours today capital of the province then it will make everything clear whether it was a military plane i there was a passenger plane so it will be more clear but we have to wait and see because

according to the security sources that i have spoken the crew has not arrived yet and. due to the duty area that is under the control of the taliban these security forces have made their way to goal and bring the bodies or evaluate their records so it's not very clear but at the very beginning of the incident we heard a lot of claims that it was either a state company or airline and then we heard it could be an angel plane war helicopter and then the conventional governor office was saying it was a passenger plane which was not afghan plane so there were many conflicting reports and lastly taliban claim that yes it was a u.s. military plane but we still cannot confirm despite the fact that we have seen a lot of footage and pictures on the social media. implying

lotsof. points and marks that is what the taliban claim is equal to those pictures. for us from afghanistan local journalists. thank you. it is exactly 75 years ago that 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 it's a liberation close one of the most shameful chapters in history. why there were actually 3 death camps at the site auschwitz one started its system of murder and torture back emain 940 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 used for torture camps a gas chamber kramatorsk an execution was. dubbed the death wall it's now the place where memorial wreaths are placed and monday camp survivors visited the site to commemorate the victims assessed to make it in $200.00 to former prisoners from around the world also take part in a memorial service for these peta oliver visited the camp. many of those who passed through the camps infamous gate with its mocking arbeit macht frei all 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 through and through through the 1st the people were loaded on to 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 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 losses 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 its technology and how up today she 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 chair. boot of 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 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 was 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 how 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'm a 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 auschwitz birkenau poland. the personal numbers of holocaust prisoners were usually sewn on their uniforms but as the number of executions agree it became hard to identify bodies after clothes were removed and corpses were sometimes marked with indelible ink a metal stamps streets is the only camp to tattoo prisoners numbers on the arms more than $400000.00 serial numbers were created that doesn't even include those never stand still sent directly to the gas chambers uniforms are badges prior marilee triangles to identify why the prisoner was there they range from the political views could be of criminal past even homosexuality juicer the double triangle the bling the star of david 75 years on the memories of those who survived are still painfully fresh.

the a feeling and see if the bill isn't worth nazi soldiers and it was in the winter i did it the moment that the mom and i were in the village at that moment the nazi soldiers started drinking and beats trying to the point that they began to pull the children from the 2nd floor and it did seem mighty deal with us and shoot them like targets. michigan still it's. pretty good if we jumped from the windows into this nature flat thing if they shot at us at the local saved us. this is their left over we were sitting on the tram. pattern that when a nazi soldier took a step forward someone shot him in the back field that the transmedia he surrounded they pushed us out and placed us against a wall. for the much a boy was. i ran to the street to the latvia there was a woman with

a child. she took my hand i didn't know she was german that's typical stop the soldier she told him that i was her child and he had a skirt and i did mine on purpose steal. it that was that we were only wearing like dresses that they attached us to a convoy of prisoners it was a way moving without food and water with sick to name people but where yes when some people fall they shot them immediately when we could not walk we had to carry each other. then we were supported on the left with the sick lame and old and. mom was just thrown to the right breast again or did but that at that and i could ignore it she shouted you girls hold each other's hands all your life never part these were her last her.

for. the civic it was it just got us lawyer fight once who was such in front of st my sister he found just a war and we wrote on the war. we are home. i am. when the red army into the ash hits it found about 7000 mostly ill and dying present as according to various estimates between 230 and 350 soviet soldiers lost

their lives in combat liberating the camp day ended the silence industrial scale mass bringing the lessons of the tragedy will never be forgotten. teamed up with digital august in the simula finance school children to create an animated tribute to victims of auschwitz and to aunty don't call for more information for now here's a preview of the 3 day virtual reality project 'd 'd.

so 5 years after the atrocities of auschwitz ended today more than half of old jewish people living in germany have considered leaving the country because of rising anti semitism that's according to germany's foreign minister heiko mass. it is and that's the nightmare that people of the jews faith no longer a few of whom here in germany and the terrible disgrace 75 years after the liberation of auschwitz the minister also stated there's been at least $400.00 cases of attacks on jewish people in berlin alone in the last 6 months including a shooting near a synagogue in october that killed 2 german army officials said they've investigated bomb $500.00 cases of far right extremism in the army notably there were 5 times as many incidents involving the german special forces or k s k and compared to the rest of the army it comes as a beer brand with nazi era german reich symbols as being on sale in a german store police have since launched an investigation the store later stated

it had discontinued its partnership with the brand nancy symbols are banned in germany except when used in the context of art research or teaching. the kids from the village based jewish institute for democracy and against anti-semitism believes that the government should use laws to fight neo nazis in germany. newspapers are only breaking bad thing and they're not bringing the good things we have it. is not anti-semitic at all you know but the majority has to get up to stand up to do something to to show courage then i would feel better because you know these few very it's only a few entries in this and his ministry do we have here but they are doing our harm to the country they are doing to jewish life here and they are really scaring not only jewish people and that's horrifying at the moment i have no idea what will be are really asking my government be against this racist and be against this national

let's do something we have laws use them. as bandits riot police from using ability style grenades of protests and see it as a cynical political ploy it will explain why after the break. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. get to the right to be close it's like that before 3 in the morning can't be good get back i'm interested always in the water using the caller's. question.

seemed wrong all right old old just don't call. me old yet to say proud disdain become educated and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. from. france's interior ministers announced the withdrawal from police forces of the notorious for grenades which has been responsible for seriously injuring numerous protesters. j.p.

said this decision because they don't have any specific color or description and what happened months ago was the police also used them to remove the threats and protesters voluntarily picked them up and was seriously injured and that's why i think we must remove the well that announcement means it will be the immediate and the glee f. 4 which has been massively controversial here in france over the last few years particularly for its use in the yellow vest protests and that's because of the sheer number of people who remained by that particular going made when it exploded now that announcement has been largely welcomed people saying it's good you're not going to be using this particular grenade any longer but there are suspicions that this is a bit of a political stunt it is just the political announcement issued weeks ahead of actions but it might provoke an internal control of the city this comes just ahead of these really important district in may or elections that are coming up in the next 3 months in france and there's also the announcement that while they may be

getting rid of back believe f. they've already decided what the new replacement for that will be so why all the glee f 4 was so controversial. the national was when people were trying to force their way in the police arrived and threw grenades one hit the guys worked to try to push it away with his hands as a reflex reaction. i don't want to kiss anyone but my mother said she had been targeted and we want to know the truth and did her justice. wasn't able to show that in. explosive it wasn't legal to show that it can take up

to 26 when i was called t.m.t. explosives it's not just the protesters who've been injured by these core needs as if exploded they've also maimed journalists why is it that when he the police were panicking responded with numerous tear gas grenades it also seems to me that they used grenades to disperse the crowd or try to fight against the use of glee and for grenades which are totally from my point of view weapons and of l b d rubber bullet guidance i was angry at the police because i understand that they have to defend themselves in situations of revolt but to use such powerful and uncontrollable weapons after all they can the journalist sam passes by. so it's out with the old but as i mentioned the police are already decided what the replacement will be and that is called the g m l 2 now that's called tradition it says because while the industry has previously said that it's more to the to be genies the good

. will still pose a risk in terms of damage to hearing so it could explode could damage your eardrums and according to some sources it could cause skin muscle and bone lesions so it doesn't sound like that you are totally that different. place book on instagram are continuing to block pro iranian accounts and news agencies this time targeting a professor at the university of tehran he was informed that is sections of broken guidelines in a minute we'll ask the person himself what he thinks about it but the move does follow something of a recent trend the independent iranian news agency fast says its international website has been taken down after apparently falling foul of u.s. sanctions far said it had received an e-mail from a server company which said it was blocked on u.s. orders. also earlier this month press t.v. the english language t.v. network based in around was removed from duty after the iranian funded channel say

their page was closed without warning or explanation and comes as companies are under pressure to comply with u.s. sanctions you did later restore the page. ok we're joined now by the person whose page was blogs to mention him to go around from the university of tehran what's your reaction 1st of all and what reasons we give him for the count being closed. while they were suspended on a number of occasions for photos including a photo of myself during the iran iraq war it was a it was disbanded for a couple of months and then again for a photo that i put up for one of my commanders during the war who was seriously ill because of the chemical weapons ironically the chemical weapons that the united states and the europeans gave to saddam hussein i was also again my account was suspended for that and on the couple of other occasions for similar reasons and then just suddenly. the whole account was disabled without any explanation all

together and i'm not even very active on facebook i mean what i put on my twitter account i put the same on facebook and. the intolerance is on the rise in the united states and in the west towards any alternative use what you think it delegates that the recent trend to block pro we rein in accounts is something that following the orders from from washington does that sound credible to you. yes i think there is definitely a strong link farse news of course now can be reached on farce news dot i r but they intention is to hurt the running media outlets to silence iranians just like they tried to try to silence me in fact i who knows what will happen with twitter of at the moment i have no problem with that with twitter but in future they may do the same thing but there is a trend many iranians have been removed from facebook many lebanese many iraqis

many syrians and many palestinians so there is a general trend to silence these views and ironically these these companies are owned by people who are not very friendly to donald trump so. when the on the one hand trump is trying to silence iranian voices and the trumps opponents are also trying to silence the iranian voices iraqi voices and and syrian voices and i had a different experience as well a couple of years ago i was invited to by the b.b.c. for a debate in beirut and the venue was at the american university of beirut and right before going to beirut the b.b.c. inform me that the american university of beirut has banned me from the campus and it turned out that the state department or threatened to punish them if i was allowed to enter the campus so ultimately after a protest by students and others and some of the media that was critical of the

united states the b.b.c. decided to keep me in the debate which was the right thing to do ultimately and to change the venue so this is the this is the way things work work nowadays just getting back to your own personal experience and you being blocked i mean can you think of any particular you said you post some photos or anything particular you posted or something you could have warranted in any way even even the idea of you being blocked by facebook. no i can't think of anything that i have published that would be. an acceptable as i said the images the statements the. links that i put on. twitter and now the k. . which is not not not home by the united states i have recently joined

that to protect myself from from being silent b.k. dot com but. no there is no everything everything is on twitter actually more active on twitter than i am on facebook and anyone who wants to see what i've written they can look at twitter and see if what i've written is there is dangerous or not i think i call as iran has regularly called the regime i when i speak of the united states i call it a regime or wire when i speak about european governments i call them regimes because the norm in their countries is to call the iranian regime so mile i reversed the language in many ways and i'm very critical of the united states in the way in which it conducts itself as well as the europeans but my twitter account is their friend who went to see if they find anything that's. problematic please let me know. the u.s. sanctions urge facebook to remove any posts that express support for what the u.s. has designated terrorist organizations. that bring up a quote

a big problem then when they got the iranian military the g.c.l. not list. well that is that is extraordinary and that's exactly how the west functions anything that they don't like they'll call to terrorists and then the western media will be silence so when the united states carries out an act of war and murders senior iranian officials like general stolen money or senior iraqi commanders like i will match the alamein this which they did a few weeks ago and they outraged the both countries and the populations we saw millions of people at the funerals of both these men and just just a couple of days ago on friday we saw the iraqis poor on this on to the streets in protest to the united states and calling for their expulsion so the americans they they call them they just carry out they break international law carry out acts of war and they think that since they call a person a terrorist they can do whatever they want so if tomorrow someone assassinates

a u.s. general and says he was a terrorists you know that that means it's the law of the jungle so the americans carry out war crimes they carry out crimes against humanity and they invade countries all illegally and through lives they invaded iraq by claiming iraq was producing weapons of mass destruction and that they were aligned to al-qaeda when they invaded the country they destroyed it killing a 1000000 people no one apologized no one went to jail for it and now they murder iranians by saying they're terrorists iranian high ranking officials and now they silence people like myself just for expressing an opinion or they banned me from a campus yet no major western media outlet will say a word about it whether they're pro traum or anti trying. so many thanks for your time around you my guest political analyst at the university of tehran thank you and let's quickly recap our top stories this hour conflicting reports are emerging
