actually. know this. point your thirst for action. a grand. finally holds its delayed victory parades marking the 75th anniversary of the defeat of nazi germany correspondents were right at the heart of the action even on route to grad school. when it comes to weaponry this machine is breathing. for instance a carry guided tank you can see them over that. and other news british workers on the front line fear they simply won't cope with

a massive flow of patients to a 2nd spike in corona virus. and didn't get set for its biggest leap out of long down it's revealed pubs and restaurants will take the names and details of customers to track people down if they're off for the virus outbreak. great to have you with us here. after a delay caused by the global pandemic moscow has finally held its huge military parade marking the 75th anniversary of. so be it victory over nazi germany red

square echoed to the sounds of thousands of marching feet from those tasked with protecting the motherland and hot on their heels quite literally came a procession of military vehicles and equipment before the whole thing was topped off with a spectacular fly past. traditionally

this event is held on may the night but the coronavirus prevented that from happening this year so today was chosen for the jubilee instead it wasn't just picked without any thoughts back in 1945 the 1st ever victory day parade was held on june 24th was when many soviet soldiers had made it back from the front line and were able to share in the celebrations with the entire country. commemoration of victory over germany in the great patrick wall for june 24th 945 fine scheduling a parade of the active army for the navy and moscow garrison the victory parade in moscow's red square.

it was a long anticipated and unfit gettable day some people strongly believed it would come. we were looking at the pile of wet cloths and thinking that the long expected

victory had come and we the war is that how people to free the motherland bring back peace is my contribution. well going to your rounds and reaching the troops we could see rain trickling from their camps but they spirits were too high to even notice it was a gloomy sunday red squares cobblestones were wet the bunches of flowers that we got after the parade were away but years on my heart doesn't believe in those memories the 24th of june 1945 has become a part of my life it was the most cheerful and sunny day.

our correspondents around has to have been saskia to look up at the parade both on the ground and in the skies over moscow and i shared with us why this celebration holds particular meaning for the. just this parade in 1945 it represented the end of the great patriotic war at this parade today tells people that you know life will go back to normal this is the 1st major event in russia since the beginning of the pandemic you know i've written a very interesting statistic a sad but the interesting is that the squirrels behind you the formation is a tree that's about 200 people eat she added the number of civilians that's 27000000 people killed during the great patriotic war it would take them 2 months to march to the red square moves huge boxes 27000000 people is the number of individuals with their own hopes with their own dreams who died in that

war to me actually makes me think part of the day it's up to the present spoken and they say in you to set out our rock and that's because i hear she street and that sound there are echoes of these people 75 years ago on red square think she was celebrated but more importantly so with the people who have fought tooth and nail to bring up out my grandmother for. chachi for india 1000000 plautus independent women's battalion and it was an all female unit that was part of the fuss paid to shawnee and that was part of the city get full says and actually they flew out of fossil in london which is the n.f.l. of russia and they actually managed to break through to judgment a friend says take back and hold the talk to strategic area of the bridge that proved to be crucial and not the battle later on i could go up to any single pass on the street also what did you write it it's to join the war each would keep me 80 tell family story someone who fought and died at starting price so many survived

the blockade of leningrad so many fought with the partisans on so much who on the 24th of june 1945 walked on to that very scrap right behind me what is about to happen the best part of the break that you know i've always found that the be the best part of the break up how the soul spoiled food for aircraft or the helicopters and planes for the money or done life in a right now out of anybody here are in the clue system so that i once had to ride with 70 other people in the in the me 26 these incredible sights rule alef the also roof a reminder of these aircraft to fly with completely different speeds at different heights to go from 8 different and if you still didn't good to precisely the right smoother right movements to give us this spectacular view. it's always the russian flag that ends the parade. route

we did here. for russia today is largely about the will war 2 veterans and survivors who were given thanks for achieving the victory over nazi germany and this year we launched the victory mail project it offers you the chance to deliver your messages of thanks to share. your stories and feelings or even simply just to say hello from a different part of the world and here i have a small selection of some of the letters that you have sentencer let's take a look 1st of all we have this this was sent from ukraine to russian veterans to say thank you we have here one that was actually sent from russian to french resistance veterans of course it's sent here to the arty headquarters and we pass it on to the relevant person and going elsewhere around europe here we have

something that was sent by and if you look closely blue stick you see the lived course which i believe means air mail so this was sent from germany to veterans here in russia the significance of a letter of respect separate germany to russian veterans i think needs no further explanation and finally we have this is rather beautiful. and this was sent from a young girl. here in russia anomic she explains that her grandfather fought on the front line during the great patriotic war suddenly he died before she was even born but she's taken the time to create this handcrafted herself and to pass on her wishes that all the veterans are enjoying the very best of health and it comes from her from her family and all of her friends. are there of course letters from abroad across the world devoted to world war 2 veterans sent in for the veterans who contributed to that victory over nazi is a moment when they arrive at our offices we send them on as

a mention to the war hero heroes to remind them of all about their acts of bravery not being forgotten and there is nothing more touching the seeing some of those letters actually being open. yeah. i think they're all there. here in. the put this need. place you were. right. you would still have over them you know i saw through. the summer when you're putting. words in there that way you would yes soon the news.

with that near get me where it was should be to do it but a very. big way it will meet war. was. the spot where they read with the ringing. of the boys to tell were many have but you flew with the. stars parade so hundreds of military hardware units riding brought through red square all correspondence against off a deliberate trying to with. this is where it all begins this is where all the

military hardware well all military machines are parked station before they roll towards the very heart of moscow and this beast is the one that we are actually going to be riding in. this tank support unit actually has a catchy name and that's terminator 3 and these machines including this one were tested the hard way in 2017 that was sent to syria to take part in the war and that was how they earned their permanent place in the russian armed forces. well when it comes to weaponry this machine is very tough for instance it carries

guided antitank missiles you can see them over there for instance painted red apart from that it has 33 millimeter machine guns and you can see them from over there over here and over there was a massacre in a village is one of the snakes that's eliminated will live up to its name and its reputation because they can hit the sorts of things from infancy to stomach vehicles and even helicopters and low flying telling its. people. that's nearly as it's 6 o'clock in the morning people were lining up along the along along route took the skolem to way to the goods was sending kisses to the fruits of the feet. and so i could see i could see people i could see sergeant and offices kind of enjoying that oppose they couldn't be overly

hopefully obvious and showing the affection back but they still please enjoy those waves they enjoyed people waving the russian flag waving the flags of the military units where those bystanders when they where they used to sit on this rolling just passed us is exactly the terminator that that would he have this was my who been here if you. if you would let me say so igor called it and over well my over it was one of the time. and. date this isn't a tank like i said so and it doesn't have a full payload of weapons but they are very useful in battle because they can carry more than a dozen soldiers in there and they can stay safe which is very important on some of

these machines on tanks as wall of course and on a.p.c.'s you will see men standing through the hatch with their facts straight i was talking to some of the guys asking them how they managed to do what they exercise a lot in the gym because again because of the problems the rats where it sometimes can get a bit shaky i don't these drivers are professionals so i mean. they keep the speed the same and that's important for the call to be event but really it is tough sometimes for the gas to stand there and also some of them are carrying guns now the team for taking have gone past me i can tell you about some of the stuff that will fall eventually. not when where the dust and the smoke get it does much. higher. yes said it should put some say on the war machine what you can see.

that wrong cost me. i could notice them by the special angles on the tour and where the team for take armada tanks it was a different but if a patient. but what makes them special is the sag goals as far as i know. it makes them almost impossible to detect by circling the detection systems. that were used by the older generation you see some of the bigger vehicles passing by right now and you know once i was able to be the actual cow with the driver drawing there were hurtful and i can tell you about my feelings because at some point you're there near the ceiling well it just feels like you're riding a regular truck but then you take a glance out the side there and you realize what's behind you and you realize how powerful these war machines are mostly the color of all these vehicles this dark

gray which is clearly a sign. of what the environment in russia is like but we know that we have harsh winters winters and. perhaps a bit earlier or we could see them coming we had. machines that could be deployed in the arctic and. clearly they do their colors both the whites. what i like is that in the front you can actually see something like going to through a polar bear the machine that you're watching right now and they're passing by it's really the most modern the most up to date to call g. that the russian war army can offer. a guerrilla regiment cool to rodin home of the london english was one of the few old female units separating during world war 2 it was comprised of 37 women who escaped from

a nazi camp in northern france here is a story. asked by the sniffs given that say chile and east africa. out build up on us we have crossed it both saying that me as a blessing. for lifelong friend it's cooling. down a. stash nice try to use to good. morning good. good good. comedian. losing to the city. to see you look to news in.

the east to see both. the bad. thing is just. the bass it's easy to. meet the well being if you. get it it will be like. the sun as a present dark must grow in the east too but you're used to. nice of you it's the leader the presume the so as the lyric i meet it. but new shock to the commish it's not shimmy closer but born to make.

him part of. me and him. these are and if you. are sort of a number which are the vehicle to steer by and point out. i knew who the study but you might google google been. an outboard engine for the ends of the machine and then immediately suggest nationally it's prompting me if that means give temp and say that you. would set off a constant back to eat each leg just. so i am using the above unused also manning. the amp and other. that's a shame in the long term but only in that instance to simulate.

the even and the. the a. model most likely you i'm sure will beat him scars or limb and even teach in the aging shafts they will see a new survey as in that their old receiver portionless the. first and. now

it is based here the soundness. in a funny little league you'll most kids to. see it as a kid. in love to move kids to full sun it's. israel media a reflection of reality. in

a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led to. direct. what is true of his faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex salmond and i'll be speaking to get out of the world of politics or business i'm show business oh so you're.

welcome back the way the coronavirus pandemic has been handled in the united kingdom as doctors feeling they simply won't be able to cope if there is a 2nd wave that's according to a new survey of health care workers obviously as we come out of the locks and now that the numbers are manager paul the question is what do we do in terms of protecting the health workforce because i think a lot of people realize that doctors and nurses and clinicians are burnt out they're anxious that depressed the latest figures from the b.m.a. so which is just being carried out show 44 percent are suffering from some sort of mental health problem i'm nearly half of all clinicians are worried about a 2nd pake so of course there may be a concern over a 2nd it's at that point we can look at that and we may then have to implement sort of regional lockdowns rather than a national lockdown for people's mental health for the economy for the united

kingdom generally we need to unlock and we need to let people get on with their lives the survey conducted by the british medical association also shows nearly a 5th of those polled are not to confident about their ability to cope should there be a 2nd wave a 3rd of them so the simply just not very confident this is the sick survey conducted by the british medical association during the pandemic and gives a clear indication about feelings within the national health service experts say that there needs to be more government assistance put in place in order to support health care workers. not just grown i think secondly it's also ate with the fact that we also eat how to pitch treat some of the illnesses that maybe have been pushed to the background but they do need to come back into the foreground plus a huge element of mental health coming along you know people are losing jobs family members you know financial issues and once you know we might be focusing a lot on the immediate deaths and the immediate health issues with coronavirus

the longer term you know the mental health this youth suicide provides all of that there is also going to have a huge burden on the n.h.s. and health care systems doctors also need time off nurses also need time off there's no amount of burnout so you know will there be enough staff to cope with it will there be enough beds to cope with it and what about the other sort of illnesses that have sort of been left by the wayside what are the surgeries that haven't been done so far what about managing counselors health care professionals who aren't going to need some support because there is an element of post-traumatic stress disorder there in that there is an element of their own mental health and well being and if they would like to continue they need you know there needs to be a lot more support and understanding given to them and the jobs that we do. pubs restaurants and hotels they will be able to reopen from july the 4th in

england but while the 2 meet a social distancing rule is being eased the safety measures are likely to be brought in and some of them are not being met with open arms shoddy edwards daschle report from london. it's nearly 3 months since the u.k. fast went into lockdown when pubs court last orders and restaurants closed doors but despite non-essential businesses reopening the hospitality sector said it simply couldn't cope with the to me to social distancing in place and it seems the government given. the significant force in the prevalence of the virus so we can change the 2 metre social distancing from the 4th of july the announcement came through while i was with the ross sea. tina and with the relaxed he thinks the sector is headed in the right direction to finally get back on track this is what we this is what we do for a living for a choice. in the restaurant industry like a profound love is not an easy life it's

a very challenging and hard life but we live off the energy of the people we live off our customers we live off our teams and we're here because we want to open our doors and we want to recreate those magical memories for our customers but the new normal comes with a new set of rules to make sure it's safe enough bars and restaurants will now have to provide a formal register of customers patrons will have to provide their names and their contact details upon arrival or when booking a table to make sure they're able to be contacted if there's an outbreak of the virus all of which makes popping in for a pint slightly more bureaucratic i probably give the details but at the same time you know if i did feel comfortable i probably just would probably have a drink at home instead you know i mean i'll be fine with it according to people's preferences of course some people worry be. ok i'll never need to hide. from the customer's perspective i feel like it's a bit much but everyone knows the time that we're in and the precautions that we're

going to have to take i think if we're going to get the pub and we have to back then i think it's necessary i'm happy to take it now these are the every major everywhere tell us. so that's another thing. get these hands on our show and even those in the industry think the new normal might be too much to handle restaurants are. places where people come and be social and they enjoy their time so it really depends on like what would it look like afterwards would still be a place where people will be able to do that. because at the moment i think what is needed to stress again is that the narrative needs to change so long as we keep on saying i'll board all social contact where possible a social industry will never come out of this restaurant's know how to keep you safe we've been doing that for years. there's a bigger problem as i get in like the national timeout the needs to be addressed in order for our industry to move forward this is the one we're moving.
