biggest leap out of long down it's revealed that pubs and restaurants will take names and details of customers in order to track them down should there be a further virus outbreak. that great to have you with us this is. after a delay caused by the global pandemic moscow has finally held its huge military parade marking the 75th anniversary of the soviet picture of a nazi germany red square echo to the sound of thousands of marching feet from

those tasked with protecting the motherland and hot on the heels quite literally in a procession of military vehicles and equipment before the whole thing was topped off with a spectacular flight. now

traditionally the event is held on may the night of the coronavirus prevented the articles from happening this year so today it was chosen for the jubilee instead it was a random date spoke at 945 the 1st ever victory parade was held on june 24th when many soviet soldiers made it back from the front lines and were able to share the celebrations with the whole country. in commemoration of victory over germany and the great patrick wall the june 24th 945 i'm scheduling a parade of the active army the navy and moscow garrison the victory parade in moscow's red square. alf. it was

a long anticipated and unforgettable day some people strongly believed it would come. we were looking at that 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 so. we're going to go around and praising the troops we could see rain trickling from their camps but their spirits were too high to even notice it was a gloomy sunday red squares cobblestones were wet the bunches of flowers that we got off to 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. of the parade both on the ground and in the skies over moscow

and they showed where this was the celebration holds particular meaning for them. these parades in 1945 it represented the end of the great patriotic war as this parade today tilts people that you know life will go back to move this is the 1st major event in russia since the beginning of the pandemic you know our grid is a very interesting statistic you're sad but the interesting is that the squirrels behind you the formation is a tree that's about $200.00 people each other the number of civilians that's 27000000 people killed during the great patriotic war it would take the 2 months to march through the red square moves huge blocks of 27000000 people is the number of individuals with their own hoops with their own dreams who died in that war to me actually the most moving part of the day it's all to the present spoken

and they say in unison. and that's because i hear history in 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 it 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 fust post shaunie and that was part of the save you fool says and actually they flew out of fossil in london which is in front of russia and they actually managed to break through to jump into france says take back and hold the top a strategic area of the bridge that proved to be crucial and not the bottle later on i could go up to any single puss on the street asked them what did you write at 6 to join the war each would keep me 80 tell family story someone who fought and died at star. someone who survived the blockade of planning cried so many people with the potted plants and so much 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 i've had a soft spot for aircraft at the helicopters and planes for the my dialogue right now out of anybody here i am the closest so that i once had a ride with 70 other people. in the me 26. i think credible site our off the roof bear in mind all of these aircraft at flag completely different speeds at different heights to go from 8 different air fields to didn't birgitte precisely the right move the right moment to give us this spectacular view. it's always the russian. the brave. new comer needed here. for russia

today is largely about the world war 2 veterans and survivors who are given thanks for achieving that victory over nazi germany this year we launched the victory mail project offering you the chance to deliver your messages of thanks share your stories and feelings or even just to say hello from a different part of the we'll here are some of your letters so let's take a look. first up if you will have to say but there's a ukrainian postmark on this is sent from ukraine to a veteran here in russian we have another one here the descent from someone in russia to a member of the french resistance now they send these letters here to headquarters r.t. and we pass them on to the relative recipients now this next warm if you take a look at the the blue sticker on that you'll see that says look poor. so it's come by air mail all the way from germany particularly poignant i think someone sending

their respects from germany to veterans here in russia and this last one is the most creative and the biggest and i think it's really quite beautiful this is been prepared by a young russian girl who almost explains that her grandfather had fought on the frontlines of that war and sadly died before she was even born but she's taken the time just to express her wishes that all the surviving veterans are in good health the best wishes coming from her from her family and all of rens. mother of course letters from all across the world devoted to world war 2 veterans see contribution to that victory over narcism and once the leaders arrive at our offices we send them on to the war heroes so that they will never forget that their acts of bravery are appreciated and remembered and there's really nothing much more touching i think this is some of those letters actually being opened. yeah me go left. or right. or i think they're all there clean

a outward sharing through. me. he put his seed. splashing you were. right. over them you know i saw through. the snow when you're putting. words in there that way you got good yes soon the. wicked near the room get me where me where should you do it but a very. big way it will meet war. was.

good she was. young man were her lines were read with her reading. the boys were still many have but you flew before. they sprayed so hundreds of military hardware units riding 3 red square all corresponds you can stand off and sleep trunk on top of the action. this is where it all begins this is where all the military hardware well all military machines park station before they rule 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 and their permanent place in the russian armed forces. well when it comes to weaponry this machine is very tough for instance it carries full 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 other low flying telling its. people. as early as 6 o'clock in the morning people were lining up along the along along the 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 the pose the couldn't be hopefully 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 boys stand just one where they used to sit on this rolling just cost us is exactly the terminator not that would he have this was my you've been here if you. if you would let me say so igor called it and over while my over 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. not hide. yes said it should put some say on the war machine while you can see. that straw cost me. i could notice them by the special angles on the tour and where the t. pointing are mounted 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 in the actual cab with the driver driving there were heard still and i can tell you about my feelings because i've had 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 to start grade 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 are there colors both the white. what i like is that in the front you can actually see something like going to through a polar bear the machines that you are 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 or army can offer. the today parades tomorrow the 75th anniversary have been held in 28 cities across russia somehow. other went ahead without spectators to avoid crowds with the current situation with coronavirus bearing so much across the country regional governments were allowed to decide for themselves whether or not to go ahead with today's festivities. a guerrilla regiment called roden

a whole motherland in english was one of the few all female units that operated during the 2nd world war it was comprised of $37.00 women who escaped from a nazi camp in northern france here's a story. we have brought. me. here. to. see you 2 doing.

easy to see the. bad. thing in business. is it's easy to. meet the well being if you even. get in. the sun as cause a dark must throw in the not used to but used. nice of you it's the leader of the species on the size that only it could meet it. but you shocked it

was not good missis not shimmy poser but born to make. him out of cheer when in fact she saw him if you. sort of a number which are the vehicle stupid and point out. i knew the study but you might google google when. they're not would you for them to the. immediacy guest nationally it's trumping me. that you give to them so that you. would stand a chance that i get it with ease then i just. received the news still seem a. little know that.

it's a shame in the long term but only in the. some implement the law to come from. the earth. the end. model my colleague i'm sure will be names cause i live. in the good shafts

raven's you say as in that there are already civil forces that led to. the stand i am not going to base here the sadness. but a 1000000 kill must get used to all. the time on the british position in the. symbolism it is the ultimate form of dismissal essentially it's. the. ski. jump kid.

leg. length. it is a many of the protesters on the streets of america want social justice nominally speaking that's a positive message the problem is how that message is translated into concrete political demands and what happens if you don't agree with those calling it.

will come back the way that the coronavirus pandemic has been handled in the united kingdom has doctors fearing they simply won't be able to cope should there be a 2nd wave that's according to a new survey of health care workers obviously as we come out of lock and now that the numbers are manageable 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 there 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 peak so of course there may be a concern over a 2nd but 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. not survey was talking about their conduct by the british medical association also shows nearly a 5th of those polled are not at all confident about their ability to cope should there be a 2nd wave a 3rd of them said that they're just not very confident this is the 6th survey conducted by the be a major in the pandemic and gives a clear indication about feelings within the national health service experts say that there needs to be more government help put in place in order to support workers within the health care system. it's not just grown i think secondly it's also ate with the fact that we also eat how to treat some of the illnesses that maybe have been pushed to the ground 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 death and the immediate health issues with coronavirus the longer term you know the mental health this youth suicide. 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 not just it's also need time off there's no amount of burnout so will there be enough staff to cope with it will that be enough beds to cope with it and what about the other sort of illnesses that sort of been left by the wayside what. haven't been done so far what about managing councils health care professionals who aren't going to need some support because there is an element of post-traumatic stress disorder 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 will all be able to reopen from the 4th of july in england while the to be to social distancing them as being east other so to measures are likely to be brought in and some of them are not being met with open arms showed it was dashed a report from london. this week alone 3 months in the u.k. fast went into lockdown when perhaps court last orders and restaurants closed their doors but despite non-essential business is reopening the hospitality sector said it simply couldn't cope with the 2 metre social distancing in place and it seems the government agrees. 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. sea. tina and with a 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 made with out of luck 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 price slightly more p.r. critic 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. according to people's preferences surprise some people want the i'm ok have anything 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 and i'm happy to do that take an hour these are them every which you everywhere tell you had said no and so that's another thing to get these on the 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 after which will still be a place where people will. be able to do that. because at the moment i think what is needed i'll stress again is that the narrative needs to change so long as we keep on saying i'll void 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.
