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

you're watching r.t. international i'm words on a lot to thank you for joining us we started this u.s. military forces in afghanistan have confirmed that one of the surveillance planes has crashed in one of the country's central provinces they currently do not suspect that 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 had occurred but many hours after the initial reports emerged they have finally confirmed that indeed one of the aircraft a 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 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 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 ease controlled by the taliban the afghan military mobilized they tried to get to this location but due to security concerns they had to stand down and pull back nevertheless we know that there are red cross and red crescent personnel at the side but because of the lack of signal the

network coverage communication for now as it is very difficult said there's an investigation ongoing it was quite interesting about this is the information about what's actually happened is 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. airline the belonging to the area an afghan airlines that crashed with more than $100.00 people on board a little later the afghan government the airlines itself 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 as well and 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 the 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 alternately 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 cause there's more tragedy to be honest with you than than war casualties or you know collateral damage. when we discuss the possible implications of the plane crash with political analyst. and political commentator mark. 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 in the languages in. their good house trashed rather than they have been 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 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 technical 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. 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 scientists the most appalling tragedy of the holocaust is liberation close one of the most. shameful chapters in history . there were actually 3 death camps and the signed one started its system of murder and torture back in may 1940 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 the assignment of the barracks which would be home as well as block 11 a prison inside the prison used for torture the camp a gas chamber crim a tory i'm an execution wall the death wall it's now the place where memorial wreaths are placed on monday camp survivors visited the site to commemorate the

victims and it's estimated nearly $200.00 former prisoners from around the world will also take part in the memorial service peter all over visited the camp. many of those who passed through the camps infamous gate with its mocking 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 to trains often and heated for a carriage is 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 head shaved all arrival 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 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 incriminated 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 this technology hold up 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 a gist of 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 how so they started providing medical care there was a horse. brazil with experience of treating mao nourished 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 of a r.t. from auschwitz birkenau in poland. the personal numbers of holocaust prisoners really sewn onto the uniforms but as the number of executions growing became hard to identify bodies after the clothes were removed corpses were sometimes marked with indelible ink and metal stamps and auschwitz was the only camp to tattoo

prisoners numbers on to the arms more than $400000.00 serial numbers were created that does not include those never stamps but sent direct to the gas chambers uniforms had badges primarily triangles to identify why the prisoner was there ranging from their political views criminal past or even homosexuality jews had a double triangle resembling the star of david and 75 is on the memories of those who survived as to painful a fresh. at the bull is a boy nazi soldiers and it was in the winter i did it the prince mama did the mom and i were in the village at that moment the nazi soldiers started drinking and beat trying to the point that they began to pull the children from the 2nd floor

and it did seem mighty hill with us and shoot at them like targets. that it. would put it going to so we jumped from the windows into the snow drift flat significantly shot at us at the local saved us. this is there left over we were sitting on the tram. and that when a nazi soldier took a step forward someone shot him in the back of. the transmedia he surrounded it pushed us out and placed us against me as. much a boy he was. as i ran to the street to the latvian there was a woman with a child. she took my hand i didn't know she was german tested it to stop the soldier should hope. and i was a child and he had a scar and i did mine on proposed deal. with a flat so we were only wearing like dresses that say touched us to

a convoy of prisoners it was a very moving without food and water would say the name people had where. 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 all and. mom was just thrown to the right breast looking at it but that at this and i could ignore it she shouted you girls hold each other's hands all your life never part so these were the last her. for. the city because it just got its own fight once who was such in from old street with my sister we found just a war and we wrote on the war. we home vs. when

the red army entered auschwitz it found about 7000 mostly ill and dying prisoners according to various estimates between 230 and 350 soviet soldiers lost their lives in combat while liberating the camp that day and of the sites industrial scale mass murder bringing hope the lessons of that appalling tragedy will never be forgotten . we'll be back with more international news after this short break.

is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being led so. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. already made in the shallows. i actually don't think monopolies per se are the problem it's monopolistic access that monopolies have to credit what politicians and probably both the crony

financial ism crony capitalism that's the big problem comes. back france's interior minister has announced the withdrawal from police forces of the notorious in 3 f. 4 grenade which has been responsible for seriously injuring numerous protests. 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 as voluntarily picked them up and was seriously injured and 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 we've heard of actions but it might provoke an internal control of the city this comes just ahead of these really important district a mayor elections that are coming up in the next few months here in france and there is also the announcement that while they may be getting rid of bakaly 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 assembly and people were trying to force their way in the police

arrived and threw grenades one hit the guys work to try 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 in. it's an explosive it wasn't label to show that it contains up to 26 grams of t.n.t. explosives it's not just the protesters who've been injured by these core needs as if exploded they've also maimed journalists was that there were huge 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 the 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 the guilty or 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. than other international news facebook and they'd stick around are continuing to block pro iranian accounts and news agencies this time targeting

a professor at the university of tehran he was informed his actions have broken guidelines however the professor himself cannot recall anything he did worthy of a. i can't think of anything that i have published that would be. unacceptable the images the statements the 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 their friend he went 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. well the move doesn't follow something of a recent trend the independent iranian news agency files says its international website has been taken down after apparently falling foul of u.s. sanctions fall said it had received an e-mail from its serve a company which said it was blocked on u.s. order is also earlier this month press t.v. the english language t.v. network based in iran was removed from new cheap stuff at the iranian funded

channel say their page was closed without warning or explanation and this comes as companies are under pressure to comply with u.s. sanctions and you tube did later restore the page will see it mohammad marandi again 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 mere 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 carpet 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 that 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 views. and their view is washington backed interim government has cut diplomatic ties with cuba with the island nation blaming the white house and it comes as the u.s. blames russian troops for damaging stability in latin america as caleb moore can 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 thought to pose 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 $69.00 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 the. hour now they tried to get at the here in the to recover political power again and when they can't win they're like since then that it was fraud now will realize that it was not fraud but the.

this is that is why my resigning so that my who does not continue to persecute my socialist brother this it's my duty as an indigenous president and the president of old believe the seeds of peace. but soar as a 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 cleat produces more trees than all the next his efforts to support it 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 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 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 and will be used as support today to us in countries like bolivia and 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 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. well that is your day for now we'll be back here at the top of the hour with more news from around the world see that.

seemed wrong. to me. to shape out just the consequences. and in detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground the. the world is driven by a dream shaped by. the

day or thinks. we dare to ask. sawing becomes a passer mechanism right so they buy back their own stock with cheap money from the fed and it goes through the company ostensibly to help the company but a stock it's it's disenfranchising the company and then on the other side the executives fear of getting that money from the fed directly into their pocket they use the company as a pastor mechanism so what happens is it leads to incredible malinvestment so boeing now is the longer a viable company. in

europe people are taking to the streets to protest the lack of transparency in treaty negotiations such as the t.t. ip treaty with the us and the seat a treaty with canada. the use of arbitration tribunals a central and totally opaque part of these treaties is a serious threat to the future of democracies. may. be a. tiny little lonia block the signing of the free trade agreement with canada thanks to paul men yet it's minister president yes. 3.5000000 loons.
