you know. 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 with the liberation by savior forces of the auschwitz concentration camp the 27th of january is now international holocaust remembrance day the millions of jews killed during the 2nd world war. and france bans a type of crowd control grenade that injured numerous protesters their critics say it's just a political ploy designed to win votes in upcoming minister elections. live

from moscow where it's just past 5 in the morning you're watching international welcome to the program. we start with this u.s. military forces in afghanistan have confirmed that one of their 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 me 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 that indeed one of. the surveillance aircraft has crashed in afghanistan after the taliban came out 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 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 it is controlled by the taliban the afghan military mobilized they try 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 for now as it is very difficult as you said there's

an investigation ongoing it was quite interesting about this is 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 $100.00 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 if 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 they 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 or cause is 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 security analyst chance to bridge and political commentator marc grossman. much will depend on what the as in any civil airline crash much or depend on that investigation as to of course to discover what the cause of this crash was it's not possible to rule out completely that they set off or shut down at this stage without more analysis from the ground but certainly it seems at this stage that this is one of the least likely explanations even the work turned out to be true on the evidence we've got so far it seems more likely that some technical malfunction pilot error or some other cause was resulted in this accident or this crash taking place 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 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 none of them 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. it'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 signs 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 it 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 the prison inside the prison used for torture the camp had

a gas chamber credit to him and execution wall the death wall it's now the place where memorial wreaths 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 the 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 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 are you glasses pots. 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 modern technology auschwitz amazes historians of visitors with his technology how 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 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 between. them for 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 are putting the red army arrived and as soon as our journalists the soldiers or the people from the camps they immediately realize 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. learning ground 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 ashworth birkenau in poland. the personal numbers of holocaust prisoners were usually sewn onto the uniforms but as the number of executions grew it actually

became hard to identify bodies after the clothes were removed corpses were sometimes marked with indelible ink and metal stamps and fitz was the only camp to tattoo prisoners numbers onto their arms more than $400000.00 serial numbers were created in that does not include those never stamped about sent direct to the gas chambers uniforms had badges primarily triangles to identify why the prisoner was there ranging from their political views criminal pasts or even homosexuality jews had a double triangle resembling the star of david in 75 years on the memories of those who survived are still painfully fresh. the a feeling of a sit at the ball is a boy nazi soldiers and it was in the winter that is if mama did the quick mom and

i were in the village at that moment the nazi soldiers started drinking and bits were trying to the point that they began to pull the children from the 2nd floor and it did seem like the kill with us and shoot them like targets a couple missing is that it. would break and if we jumped from the windows into a snow drift or flat roofs lifted a shot at us of the locals saved us. and 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 of spilled milk that the transmeta surrounded him pushed us out and placed us against a wall. or much a boy was. gutted. 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 not that's typical stuff he sought out before she told him that i was a child and he had a scar and i did mine on purpose steal.

it off that stuff we were only wearing like dresses that if they touched us to a convoy of prisoners along the way moving without food and water would say to name . what i wear yes because when some people fall they shot them immediately as the sleet that when we could not wash we had to carry each other that it builds until then has supported on the laughter the setting and all and i think that mom was just around to the right breast to but that does and i could ignore it she shouted the girls hold each other's hands as your life never part so these were the last her. for.

the civic it was it just got destroyed by once who was such and for all to treat my sister i found just a war and we wrote. we are yes. i am. 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 ended the science industrial scale mass murder bringing hope the lessons of that appalling tragedy will never be forgotten. now and some international

news france's interior minister has announced the withdrawal from police forces have been a tourist for 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 used them to remove the threats and protests voluntarily pick 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 end of the glee f. 4 which has been massively controversial here in frocks 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 france and there's also the announcement that while they may be getting rid of back the leave for they've already decided what the new replacement for that will be so why all the glee f 4 was so controversial. the nationals 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 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 it. 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 as if exploded they've also maimed journalists why is it that when he 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 passers 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 aging of the guilty. 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 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 had broken guidelines however the professor himself can't recall anything he did worthy of a bad. i can't think of anything that i have published would be. an acceptable the damages the state. 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 my twitter account of their friends want 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. or the move doesn't follow something of a recent trend the independent iranian news agency found 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 company which said it was blocked on u.s. or does also earlier this month press t.v. the english language t.v. network based in iran was removed from you tube stuff that the iranian funded channels say their page was closed without warning or explanation and of those companies are under pressure to comply with u.s. sanctions you tube did later restore that page will say it 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 use. but it is a washington backed interim government has cut diplomatic ties with cuba with the on a nation blaming the white house and it comes as the u.s.

blames russian trolls for damaging stability in latin america as caleb maupin explains. the u.s. is ringing the russian bots alarm bells once again this time for latin america state department analysts from the russian link twitter accounts to sort of 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 soares 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 he 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. in the. time that i already know they tried to get to recover the political power and when they count when they're like that it was now we're realize that it was not fraud but the. the. the.

this is. why my resigning so that my opponents cannot continue to persecute my socialist brother this it's my duty as an indigenous president. 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 sore as 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 it has 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 i see the hand of the u.s. in this i 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 sclera lee was a cool ordinated effort to overthrow the democratically elected government of a well moralities 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 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 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. caleb mop and r.t. new york. well that is your news update for now we're back here at the top of the hour with a roundup of the headlines see that. trade and investment to become magic spells to come economic development. most people think about trade they think about goods and services being exchanged between

countries at the end of fast chopped or a trade agreement is about something very different but what one investment leads to toxic manufacturing that destroys sacred sites all ruins the environment. that means that if local communities that are being poisoned if they object if they do anything that the company feels is interrupting their profits they can they sue. the nationals of taking on the whole nation philip morris is trying to use i guess d.s. to stop oracle from implementing new tobacco regulations aimed at cutting domestic smoking rates a french company sued egypt because egypt raise its minimum wage democratic choice trump. joins us as we try to find out what a hottie. during the great depression which i'm old enough to

remember there was most of my family were unemployed. there wasn't it was bed much worse objectively today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america where shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo down engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no on. one set of rules for the rich opposite. to that's what happens when you put her into the. narrows. the truth will switch is dedicated to increasing virtue of christe you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of
