the u.s. military confirms that one of its surveillance planes has crashed in afghanistan in territory controlled by taliban militants. 75 years since one of the darkest chapters of humanity came to an end with the liberation by soviet forces of the auschwitz concentration count the 27th of january is now international holocaust remembrance day for the millions of jews killed during the 2nd world war . transponder type of crowd control grenade this injured numerous protesters though critics say it's just a political ploy designed to win votes in upcoming municipal elections.

very well continue watching r.t. international with me carrying our top story this hour the u.s. military forces in afghanistan have confirmed that one of their surveillance planes has crashed in central afghanistan that they currently don't suspect it was shot down. a u.s. bombardier 11 a crash today in gaza the province afghanistan while the cause of crash is under investigation there are no indications the crash was caused by enemy fire traditionally this is this is standard practice the keep quiet and potential casualties and causes for a 24 hour period after anything any event that occurred but many hours after the initial reports emerged they have finally confirmed the. crafter surveillance aircraft has crashed in afghanistan after. the taliban came out and said the same

thing that the united states had lost many they claimed. servicemen military personnel who the taliban is known to sort of inflate statistics to exaggerate the truth nevertheless the e 11 a one of 4 there called why fly in the sky the purpose is to provide communications links between various american units on the ground there always in the air these aircraft avoiding 24 hour 24 hour communications and support surveillance as well this aircraft crashed in in a province that is largely controlled by the taliban and in the side where it crashed up in the hills in the mountains controlled by the taliban the afghan military mobilised they tried to get to this location but due to security concerns they had to stand down and pull back nevertheless we knew that there are red cross and red crescent personnel at the site but because of the lack of signal the

network coverage communication now is is very difficult as you said there's an investigation ongoing it was quite interesting about this is then information about what's actually happened it's been really slow to emerge can you give us a recap of how this crash has been reported well it wasn't just slew it was contradictory as well because initially the report said that there had been a passenger jet a commercial airline the belonging to the area and afghan airlines that crashed with more than 100 people on board a little later the afghan government the self came out and said that this is this is fake this fake news none of our jets had crashed the taliban came out and said that it was in fact an american an american spy. and you know eventually that was that was proven to be the case later we learned that they couldn't get to the site because because the taliban was in control on the ground and indeed the 1st video of the. emerged of the wreckage apparent wreckage of the aircraft we haven't been

able to confirm the video but apparently this video was shot by a journalist affiliated with the taliban as you think this incident will have any wider significance for the war ravaged country and in particular america's mission there well the argument is that there is no mission that you know of the afghan war papers the painted a very confused picture. of the afghan war inside the administration the u.s. government there's there's there's no clear concise objective what the united states is trying to achieve in afghanistan they're dropping more bombs last year the job more bombs than in almost any given year in the last decade and the consensus is that there is no bombing your way to peace or any peaceful resolution will have to be through negotiation that the afghan war is ultimately unwinnable by conventional means. therefore you know what is what is the mission this is this is

just another 5 soldiers apparently 5 that have been killed in a war that is largely senseless that is bereft of purpose or cause is more tragedy to be honest with you than than war casualties or you know collateral damage we discuss the possible implications of a plane crash with political analyst may start for a few regime and political commentator maher anson. the taliban did not blame the shutdown of the blame almost with after 5 hours of the crash. initially even some reports surfaced that the taliban even didn't know about this they have issued a statement the language is in poor schools in have said their good has trashed rather than they have other than being targeted by the taliban if this is actually not an accidental crash if this was a downing by the taliban definitely there will be consequences and i mean military consequences given the fact that the u.s. has a huge foothold in afghanistan and they would not accept such kind of an escalation

to happen especially at this point in time after the recent escalation in the beginning of the event i actually myself tweeted about the taliban showing a statement announcing that they down the plane because i was translating from arabic media but then an hour later it was unconfirmed reports that said taliban actually announced the downing of the plane but not downing the plane so we are having conflicting reports coming from afghanistan but at the same time we have silence from the american side 1st of all when they were asked about whether these reports were right or not the decided not to comment and now they're saying that yes there was a u.s. surveillance aircraft that was downed or that downed you do nickel difficulties they didn't even give a right or an exact expression and a description of what happened but i believe it of action the taliban was behind the downing we will see some sort of an escalation. 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 is liberation close one of the most shameful chapters in history. there were actually 3 death camps at the site auschwitz one started 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 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 a prison used for torture the camp chamber. and execution war. dubbed the death wall it's now the place where memorial wreaths are placed on

monday camp survivors visited this site to commemorate the victim of estimated nearly $200.00 former prisoners from around the world will also take part in a memorial service peter all of the visit of the town. many of those who passed through the camps infamous gate with its marking are by far 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 those who were the 1st the people were loaded on the trains often and heated for a carriages sometimes people were transported impossible 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 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 it 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 how up today she was just for the purpose of killing people with gas as the end of the war reproach the soviet military closed in on territory which had spent 2 years under the jackbooted no. the 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 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 the marshal cohen of the 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 with but 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 mao nourished and starving patients from the besieged city of leningrad and that helped 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. they passed on numbers of holocaust prisoners we usually sewn on the uniforms but as the number of executions grew became hard to identify bodies after clothes were removed corpses were sometimes marked with

indelible incan metal stamps auschwitz was the only camp to tattoo prisoners numbers on their arms all the 400000 serial numbers were created and that does not include those never stand but sent direct to the gas chambers uniforms had badges primarily triangles to identify why the prisoner was that ranging from that political views criminal past so homosexuality jews had a double triangle resembling the star of david 75 years on the memories of those who survived all still painfully fresh. at the bull 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 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 either kill the task and shoot at them like targets. still it's. pretty good if we jumped from the windows into the snow drift and flat roofs and if they shot at us the locals saved us. this is their left over we were sitting on the trial. pattern that when a nazi soldier took a step forward someone shot him in the back of spilled milk that the transmedia he surrounded they pushed us out and placed us against a wall yes i am a much a boy wizard tonight. i ran to the street to the last of the a couple there was a woman with a child. she took my hand i didn't know she was german is that that's typical stop we saw each other for she told him that i was her child and he had a scar and i did mine on purpose steal.

novitiate of that we were only wearing like dresses that say touched us to a convoy of prisoners it was a very moving without food and water with sick to name people but where yes because when some people fall they shot them immediately the sleep that when we could not wash we had to carry each other that it builds until then we were supported on the left with the sick and old and. mom was just thrown to the right breast but that at this 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. rick it was just go to sleep by once who was such in from old street that my sister

found just a war and we wrote on the war. we are home yes. to it. when the word army entered our ships it found about 7000 mostly ill and dying prisoners according to various estimates between 230 and 350 thought that soldiers lost their lives in combat while liberating the camp that day ended the site's industrial scale mass murder bringing hope the lessons of that appalling tragedy will never be forgotten. france's interior minister has announced the withdrawal from the police forces of the notorious the glee f 4

grenade 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 were forced to use them to remove the threats and protests voluntarily pick them up and was seriously injured that's why i think we must remove the glee well that announcement means it will be the end of 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 the political announcement issued we've heard of municipal elections 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 few months here in france and there's also the announcement that while they may be getting rid of bakaly f 4 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 guy's work tried to push it away with his hands as a reflex reaction. i don't want to kiss anyone but my mother says she had been targeted and we want to know the truth and did her justice.

wasn't able to show that it. an explosive it wasn't label 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 grenades as if exploded they've also maimed journalists. the police were panicking and responded with numerous tear gas grenades it also seems to me that they use grenades to disperse the crowd or try to fight against the use of clear 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 passes by so it's out with the old but as i mentioned the police are already decided or what the replacement will be and that is called the g m l 2 now that's controversial it says

because while the ministry has previously said that it's not equivalent to the g the glee. 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 the 2 are totally that different. bolivia's washington backed interim government has cut diplomatic ties with cuba with the island nation blaming the white house it comes as the u.s. blames russian trolls for damaging stability and latin america have more than explains. 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 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 cyber rambo now the anti morale us 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 though like since then that it was fraud now we realize that it was not fraud but the. he does he doesn't know why my resigning so that my who does not continue to post my socialism druggists it's my duty as an indigenous president and the president of old believe the seeds of peace. but soar as 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 is to bolivian with one click produces more trees than all the leftists efforts to support it tight so it's important to note that saurez isn't just a person who's highly interested in bolivian politics 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 endowment 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 says clearly 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 it will be used as support today to us 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. facebook and instagram are continuing to block pro raiding accounts on news agencies this time targeting a professor at the university of to run he was informed his actions had broken guidelines however the professor himself can't recall anything he did worth the effort. i can't think of anything that i have published would be. unacceptable the images the statements the. links that i put on no there is no everything everything is on twitter actually more active on twitter than i am on facebook and my twitter account is there for anyone to see if anyone who wants to see what i've read they can look at twitter and see if what i've written is dangerous or not. the move does follow something of a trend the independent iranian news agency fassel says its international website

has been taken down after apparently falling foul of u.s. sanctions foster said it had received an e-mail from its serve a 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 star the iranian funded channels say their page was closed without warning or explanation and it comes as companies are under pressure to comply with u.s. sanctions you tube did later restore the page was live mohammad marandi again says it's far from the 1st time he's faced such moves on social media. well 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 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 the what i put on my twitter account i put the same on facebook and but apparently intolerance is on the rise in the united states and in the west towards any alternative the use. of british intelligence experts has cast doubt on the infamous still dossier and the alleged trumped russia collusion nigel west who's examined it and also knows it's all the claims it's likely the material will sponsor cases the dossier is a privately commissioned intelligence report it was written by former m i 6 agent christof a steal in 2016 his company was hired to look into allegations of collusion between donald trump and mosco the dossier claims that the russians possess compromising

material on trump obtained when he was in russia 7 years ago we discussed the dossier with nigel west himself the intelligence expert who claims it could all be fake. i was commissioned by a lawyer in washington d.c. city to examine the original circle steel dossier and to conduct a forensic examination and then coming to a conclusion and the background to this incidentally is that i specialize in this particular field intelligence officers and others who fabricated material you have to understand about the management of so orses if you're a case officer and you manage let's say 3 or 4 sources civil tenuously it's very rare that you mix up the tiriel provided by those individual sources so when i looked at the steel dossier the work the trainset of 111 sources referred to the major ones were referred to just simply as a b. c. d. e. f. and g. and a and f.

for example who corroborated each other and by looking at the material one thing seemed very strange either he had mixed up his sources or one particular individual who appeared to be a middle ranking member of management in the ritz carlton hotel and all skip a few months later was described as an expert on cyber warfare and cyber espionage and then a couple months later was also expressing a knowledge of money laundering operation is being conducted by russian emigre is on the east coast of the united states. is a thing i think in class know about combatant. max kaiser financial survival guide liquid assets are those that you can convert
