sion has dropped the store in on its own feet and they may have been counting on the fact that nobody would notice this rather gigantic elephant in the corner of the room that they have named the wrong guy saw i think it will now be a laughing stock the european union claims to be the. norm free speech free expression democracy and all of that and yet just goes to show butts all lipstick when the 'd when the lipsticks rubbed off it's a rather play interface underneath. what a mass pity there was no way back in love via soon anyway that's why things looking for russia so far this wednesday the 1st of july the big story from here today just to recap is that we're into the final hours of a week of voting in this country on how much people see it developing over the coming years and a big vote a potential constitutional change will no more tomorrow morning well of course across it all throughout the day as well as it continues for now for me kevin oh in

a word. for the course of a great day for now. let's . let's say. the fight. thank you for. destroying 6 that's right. laverick.

secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived we've been. there were to view houses were. preserved were located and the only people had access to the story investigators covered the darkest dealings of the secret services but i mean. the great ignore. justice. george was made for radio and he excelled at it he would meet people from all walks of life from all over the world he would even meet one of the most historic

military figures of modern times not bad for a farm boy from canada when i started working at sydney in part and broadcasting to the united states and canada there was a young lad very bright boy. i say boy because i was older than he very handsome boy victory and all in and he was married. to a young lady. named ella so one day fell. for her one who was. a custom in canada was you you know you call on your friend if he still see you he needs any help to call them up. i says vic you're one been in jail now come on over come on over. to some fan ok and give him the address he told me dad was. and went to his place. find

how beautiful some strange looking guy is walking around the house. and 19 and didn't realize where i was gone and turned in the right pressed button. does no door opposite opens up and the lady looks out. and who is that they but the minister of culture. it's. where am i i should go i should follow in russian of course who's who's calling to the neighbor . opened up hello up his wife. ellen comes. up and since this is my father. concern to know which is the patronymic country and to know each it which is the most confusing to me. i lost my gift of speech here's the marshal of the soviet killian the highest

military rank just below generalists most stellan. least. we became good friends. and l. it all quite often came to our place. for turkey and. then we met often at his place. in the morning. 10 o'clock the parade starts on the red square. is on the mausoleum. but marshall fruit on his not there. marshall who helped who show come to office. and he was being double crossed. just. come on let's go have breakfast. he used strong words. oh i said being a linguist after the war everything. has already got to drink. or

walk on i suspect i don't know anything you drink. but you can drink cognac today because i'm going to bring kanya. in 10 o'clock 10 o'clock 3 hurried start. and i was washing marshall fruit off what had his reaction. confuse folks to be there taking taking the salute so i can well imagine what he was too little experiencing i didn't comment anything because the war oh mine a comment and i didn't say a single word just bored some more cognac. and i had. breakfast not a tiffany's but which marshall. from just perch at radio moscow to his talent for simultaneous translation george was an observer of the world changing the world

teams of george it was often through sports where there was no politics i also did mainly my work yet radio moscow at that time was translating and as a recorder and interviewing people in russian and translating him. into english. and. there was a lot of public focus on the. track and field meet between deactivates of the united states and the soviet union and there was. great interest in the east track and field nice especially in the long distance runners. because everyone was cheering for the american team who supported the americans and everyone cheering for the soviet long distance runners 1000 the nicky stadium

at the one of these. track and field meets between the u.s. and soviet athletes there was. a long distance race going on in the in the stadium i was in the on the ground in the center on the grass still on the track was around there and. it was very hot that day one of the american athletes fainted while he was on on the track and he fell down and minutely the officials were standing by me and i were ran up there they helped him up to his feet. and he got through did get some spray or something to gain for medicine so he recovered. he should go no longer than let me continue let me continue and he started running again. but in the opposite direction but in the opposite direction he returned running back and they stopped

a minute to stop them and no turn turn this way. they're right everyone was a gas and he started running of course he didn't win so all but but when he crossed the finish line at the end he received a standing ovation from the whole group of the entire stadium packed well over 60000 people soviet fans. in the close of the game a standing ovation. and that's sports for you know politics. there was i think it was 987. a softball team from san francisco came to moscow and they had radio moscow we organized the. not many people knew baseball on this in this country practically none except my

grandson now who plays baseball. and. the plane they came from san francisco veterans veterans not real sportsman. and we play did they with who received a statement a stadium and we played a game of baseball was covered by these the american magazine sports illustrated he which you know and there was a big story about it and it was a very good game we lost the game of course the americans won and the. kansas city runs in their blood baseball baseball's my favorite. game after hockey which the canadian. and after the game or we all went to their hotel we have a nice party and we became friends. no politics and tong after all but there were. when the soviet union versus canada so which

side did you wonder daria. that's a good question but it's the i'll tell you one thing peter it's a silly question for me. because i'm in a when when position i can't both. count the ones i'm glad. the soviet union when so i'm also glad i can't. win one position. one of the most important persons in george's life was his brother karl george was always close with his brother they were not just brothers they were the best of friends when the series oh it was called me is the best your price is the name of the soviet daily. all the games that were played in moscow. the. bring side commentator. who sat there with the ringside commentator and russian was

my brother curl watch. i'll tell you one thing. he. watched most of the games on t.v. and then there was one game. which were playing against sweden here in moscow. at luzhniki stadium. and for some reason he was busy at some other kind of a job he says george will pinch hit for me. ok. on that day of the game. u.s.s.r. sweden and the ringside with me not my brother and i did the whole game in the post post-game conference press. conference and no one. realized it was not my brother but me except one person my mother interestingly it was karl who george owes his acquaintance to his future wife you won't believe me. but how i met

my wife begins with the story about a paper clip. paperclip. my brother was working in the african section was broadcast both in english and french and there was a young lady beautiful young lady. who was translating from russian into french. my brother who sat together with the translators on the 5th floor together with the rest of the translator the young lady would translate into french typing away and my brother was sitting opposite crossed the room and throwing paper clips into her typewriter. to cash her tension. a silly way could think of it both in the long and short of it is he caught her attention and they started going out together. and he says listen dave you got

a girlfriend for my brother and he's he's sort of been doping around nothing nothing. cheers sure i i went in there one on my school me her name is gallina. nearly 60 years of marriage and daughter in 2 grandchildren the family has always had the highest value for george. in my write up in the internet i moved 1st wrote as members of russia today. i wrote. very brief story of my life. and though my last line was. my grandchildren are my life enjoy. my pride and joy. i think pride in

them and trying to give me both in russian it sounds rhymes quite well. iran's a stitch pride and joy. the primary purpose of history is to understand the cost as a guide to understanding the present and future. because a lot of these trees. so how should we find the right balance the statue size the life. thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military and the decision. every song came to a complete. the. whole show

kill me and i see how it destroyed. any screen didn't come in any graham my arm and he write me. if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military is a very very traumatizing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and the offender and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave. the founder who was not even put on the registry this is simply an hour and violent male sexual predators for the large part of whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or a one. time of the time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important. to sustainable tribes board sustainability.

the more equitable and sustainable. they claim their production is complete. if. companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away this is something else this must be going to mean and i mean look. this is the moon we didn't dream and. understood so when. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe from.

isolation all community. are you going the right way or are you being led. away. what is true what is faith. in a world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. aura made in the shallowness. been there was the year 962 soviet american relations rapidly worsened during khrushchev's last years as 1st party secretary the cuban missile crisis becomes the most dangerous point in the confrontation the world is on the verge of a nuclear war in the autumn of 1962 is unclear whether the 2 nations can come to an agreement. i was very concerned about what would happen. i was very concerned.

that was the closest anyone had ever come to that. and that's the time that. the soviet union put into orbit belk and still come into. outer space and they returned. their returns live. later on the. current tune was made by the soviet. cinematographers it was called bell constrained. i translated into english and voiced a couple of commercials about bell constructor which i thought was very good and i like voicing cartoons because you change a voice. you had he have a record leeway of your possibilities george also served in the

soviet military he was trained as a paratrooper so this young man born in canada would parachute over the steps of russia i was called up to. the airborne troops which was a meeting having is a training course is in the south eastern. soviet republic of loose beckett's stun. which is way down south and east. we went by train from moscow and so me of a fire or 6 days i don't remember. i was sleeping most of. and we went through very unusual i say unusual now because not everyone. to spare should come in. io i was 1st home bit wary about that because i was wondering if i can do it.

if i had not enough gumption to make it jump a parachute into a jump out of a plane into nothingness i made 5 chumps. special badge are gone and that and special document jumps were different different types of planes and different types of parachutes double parachutes sometimes which will tell you about the time you are 2nd guessing 2nd or 3rd jump was from a from a very small $99.00 paratroopers jump one after another. they have had. your 1st parachute were opened up automatically because you had reported was on the tip card and then the other one you opened by herself and throw it out and i would throw it out and stead of throwing it. it's opened up

inside the main chute. the main chute was. slower than the other one will unfold up and go down you go down faster to go in while jerks like that. anyway i managed to. land at the time when the main chute was open so it was a soft landing. and anyway. we finally returned from our mission. and i got 2 can't they're very poor was full of people. i walked up to the checkin lady there says no no no nothing until tomorrow. come on let me go home but it's not been 4 months over 4 months in train can and we should wait of them there's an empty seat up with you on and true enough

later i heard the announcement that the plane was going to be. closing check check in time. and sure ok i'll put you on new there's a reason or scene one guy didn't show up. to readers c'sornyn top officers. one was a general i sat down beside him he says hey you need to find a moscow why you dress so scantily as well i've been a training camp for for 4 more over 4 months. and here where born. good he brings out a bottle of cognac and. here are born troops from a different division but anyway he didn't tell me what division it was i didn't i learned from my 1st days not to ask questions especially if you're a foreigner. as the soviet union transformed underclass. it was apparent the end was coming nearer like everyone else around george and his

family there was fear of violence and of people. i'll tell you one thing i was at a loss. for brady i was at a loss i didn't know what to do i think there was. august 19th or august 20th it was a monday or tuesday i traveled to that was when the attempted. overthrow was made in moscow. baron but he was playing lake sand so twangs i had to drive out to the countryside to pick up my mother in law and my daughter i believe they were in there because we didn't know what was going to happen we didn't know what was going to happen we didn't want. part of our family to be split away from us if anything got worse. and i was driving i drove. a 5050 kilometers one way 50 kilometers back and when i was

approaching moscow. already on the outskirts of moscow thanks for. towards the center that's when i really felt bad i didn't know was going to happen. i didn't know what was going to happen. the soviet period of georgia's life it ended with a new russian one can just started during this time a lot of vents have happened both happy and sad and george joined our team and became the main voice of the t.v. channel his beloved brother carl passed away george became a grandfather twice only one film is certainly not enough for us to describe in detail the entire incredible life of george watts it is so bright in full of events proud father husband and grandfather for whom the family always comes 1st

a brilliant professional at his work having gone a long way from a factory worker to a well known translator and speaker the forever remains a man of 2 countries when i speak to russian. to russian affairs especially of russian official. saying we're going to vioxx when i'm traveling or to english speaking people i am george wallace and so. nothing to hide dual citizenship all the same to me. i think everybody should love his homeland. thing wrong with that it's not criminal. there's not criminal here and if you're a patriot you love the place where you were born of course a. valley is my favorite song because i was more in the. afternoon i see nothing wrong with that.

secret prisons are not usually what comes to mind when thinking about europe however even the most prosperous can be deceived we've been busy roads on there were to view houses were allowed to leave prison was located only cia people had access to the story investigators show how they uncovered the darkest

dealings of the secret services but i mean. the great of nor in. hockey seem a bit of sore knee for. crying for justice on. the world is driven by. the dares thinks. we dare to ask. the one guy up here he was a knave found him literally dead like this standing up there

a guy appeared his girlfriend they were found in their apartment that they just. cut all up and they were dead for like 3 days holding each other this wall so people who have lost their life's early to addition yeah this is from akron. that crown is better known as the meth capital and i'm high and it's a city where the number of drug addicts keeps growing every year. i came up when i was 14 and my whole family were drug addicts. throughout much of the 1990 s. and beyond and the doctors were incurred. and in some cases incentivized to overprescribe. i mean enough to sedate a small country why you should also hear about people buy all that stuff and we got to go to bed don't go crazy get you much you know you do. and they're still coming you know one after the next.

wednesday and the lunchtime you know the 1st of july in the headlines deciding rush's next chapter it's the final day of voting on changes to the constitution coming up we'll look at what's being offered we bring you reaction to it throughout the day. i think that it's needed because the current constitution is out of date i think it is nonsense according to all legal logical and ethical norms and all greeks with all of their managements. in other headlines today this intense scrutiny for germany's huge meat processing industry after a major coated outbreak among staff of the biggest plant shut to lights all working and living conditions for the mainly low paid migrant staff there. and seems.
