good evening and welcome this is r.t. international where we start this hour with conflicting reports emerging about a plane that's crashed in afghanistan's girls need province which is taliban controlled territory the militant group claims it was an american aircraft contradicting earlier reports it was a passenger jet u.s. media reports have cited sources also suggesting it was a u.s. military plane a regional government spokesperson says that the flight reported technical problem for coming down a bursting into flames unverified video on social media shows what appears to be a u.s. air force aircraft so far there's no confirmed information regarding casualties. you speak down to political analysts. here welcome back i mean there's going to be strong element of speculation at this point because of so many things that still to be established as concrete but the u.s. interesting really hasn't commented about this plane crash perhaps something we

would have expected but by this point what would you read into that. well yes as you said it's almost everything is going to be surrounded by the speculations even the paladin did not blame the shutdown of the plane almost where the after 5 hours of the crash and initially even some reports surfaced that the taliban even didn't know about this. it was claimed that it was an i know of on passenger plane so there was a lot of confusion around this crash and finally we have a word that it was a u.s. . military. message a plane but the thing is that. you. can't to politicize this is a loss the signal with our guests and most likely political analysts if we manage

to get it back we will try and get it back on. let's move on from the major story from today's exactly 75 years ago that the red army liberated the auschwitz death camp in poland almost 1100000 people lost their lives at the nazi sites in the most appalling tragedy of the holocaust is liberation close one of the most shameful chapters in history. there were actually 3 death camps at the site auschwitz one started a system of murder and torture back in may 940 prisoners life began in the registration building where he or she received personal numbers from them became referred to by that number then there was assignment to the barracks which would be the home as well as block 11 a prison inside the prison used for torture become a gas chamber kramatorsk and execution was dubbed the death wall it's now the place

where the mourning wreath are placed a monday camp survivors visited the site to commemorate the victims it's estimated nearly $200.00 from the prisons around the world will also take part in a memorial service of these 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 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 through the roof 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 in barbaric fashion any possessions taken away suitcases shoes i lasses pots pans those not killed immediately put to work an apartment condo. since for some it felt 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 or visitors with his technology and hope 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 salvia 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 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're putting would have gotten 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 and that 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. from auschwitz birkenau and the personal numbers of holocaust prisoners were usually sewn on their uniforms because the number of executions green they became

hard to identify bodies after clothes were removed coaxes a certain size box with a delicate ink a metal stamps and it's was the only camp to tattoo prisoners numbers on. more than 400000 serial numbers are created but it doesn't even include those never stamps sent directly to the gas chambers uniforms or badges primarily triangles to identify why the prisoner was there ranging from political views to criminal past or homosexuality jews had a double triangle with numbering the star of david 75 years on and the memories of those who survived are still painfully fresh. sit at 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 i feel that task and shoot them like targets. missing is still it's. pretty good if we jumped from the windows into this nature and flat to give it a shot at us at the local saved us. this is there left over we were sitting on the tram. pattern that when a nazi soldier took a step forward someone shot him in the back of spilled milk that the transmedia is surrounded they pushed us out and placed us against a wall. for much a boy was. i ran to the street to the last couple there was a woman with a child. she took my hand i didn't know she was german is that tested it to stop the soldier she told him that i was her child and he had a scar and i did my own proposed deal.

with that of that so we were only wearing like dresses that they touched us to a convoy of prisoners it was a very moving without food and water with sick to name people where. when some people fall they shot them immediately that when we could not walk we had to carry each other that builds until 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 to soil by once who was such in from old street my

sister he found just a war and we rode on the war. we are home yes. i am. when the red army into downshifts it found about 7000 mostly l. and dying prisoners according to various estimates between 230 internet and 57 soldiers lost their lives in combat while liberating the camp that diana decides industrial scale mass bringing the lessons of the polling tragedy would never be forgotten. lottie's to digital and just a nice meal often non-school children to create an animated tribute to the victims

of auschwitz and to come to find out more is a preview of the 3 d. virtual reality project. 'd 75 years after the atrocities of ash it's ended today more than hoff 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. it is an absolute nightmare that people of the jews longer 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 'd alone in the last 6 months including a shooting near a synagogue in october that killed 2 people says german army officials investigated more than 500 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 than compared to the rest of the army. this comes as a beer brand with nancy era german reich symbols has been on sale in a german store police have since launched an investigation the store later stated to discontinue this policy with the brand symbols abound in germany except when

used in the context of art research and teaching. law the siskins from the berlin based jewish institute for democracy and against anti-semitism believes the government should use laws to find new naziism in the country the newspapers are only breaking bad thing that they're not being the good thing is we have a good majority is not anti-semitic at all you know but the majority has to get up to stand up to do something to courage then i would feel better because you know these few very few entries in this and his ministry do we have here but they are doing our harm to the country they are doing opted to wish life here and they are really scaring not only jewish people and that's horrifying moment i have no idea what will be really ask my government be against this racist and be against this national let's do something we have laws use them. i for the break will

bring you the latest information about a plane crash in afghanistan which could reportedly involve the u.s. military. the world is driven by dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask.

you know world big part of a lot of things 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. 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 us return now to our top story this hour conflicting reports emerging about a plane that crashed in afghanistan's gosney province the taliban controlled territory the terrorist group claims it was an american actress contradicting other reports it was a passenger jet ski live to kabul local journalists 5 years across this story what

more information can you bring us at this point. well look we 1st heard that it was a plane class a commercial plane crash owned by state airlines however both from the. airline and ask in civil aviation deny these. reports. in this plane crash took place in gaza knew were partly is under the control of the taliban especially the site of the incident. the group claimed saying it was an american plane that was destroyed after the crash. but we haven't heard any officer confirmation from the afghan government about the type of the plane. but the pentagon and its nadir it denied the report nor confirmed what it said that it seemed best to gating. crash off

a plane in central gaza new province so we have to wait and see it's clear whether it was a passenger plane or a military plane. many thanks to a local journalist in afghanistan there still a ton pfizer with the story. had to france now where the interior minister has announced the withdrawal from police forces of the notorious for grenade it's 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 that's why i think we must remove the glee 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 municipal elections but it might provoke an internal control this this comes just ahead of these really important district in may or elections that are coming up in the next few months here in france and there's also the announcement that while they may be getting rid of back the lead f. for they've already decided what the new replacement for that will be so why all the glee f. was so controversial. in

. the national assembly and 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 the reflex reaction. they 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. an explosive it wasn't legal to show that it contained up to 26 grams of t.n.t. explosives it's not just the protesters who've been injured by these core needs of the 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 guns 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 hit journalists and passers 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 reversion it says because while the ministry has previously said that it's not equivalent to bridging the duty. it will still pose a risk in terms of damage to hearing so if it explodes it 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. facebook and instagram or continuing to block pro iranian accounts and using it

sees this time they targeted a professor at the university of tehran he was informed his actions have broken guidelines the move does follow though something of a recent trend independent iranian news agency far says its international websites been taken down probably falling foul of u.s. sanctions far said deters received an e-mail from its 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 iran was removed from you tube suffer the iranian funded channel so the page was closed without warning or explanation and comes as companies are under pressure to comply with u.s. sanctions and she did later restore the page. we spoke to the very professor whose page was blocked side 100 marandi from the university of tehran he says it's far from the 1st time he's faced such moves on social media. while they were suspended on a number of occasions for photos including a photo of myself during the iran iraq war it was a minister spend it 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 a 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 but apparently intolerance is on the rise in the united states and in the west towards any alternative use. like to say without international the updates on our top stories coming your way.
