to life archive footage of some of the soviet soldiers who made think to repass of all.

it's hard to overestimate the significance of victory day here in russia given the immense price all the soviet people paid to defeat the nazis almost no family in the country was left untouched by loss the battlefields of the great patriotic war was soaked with the blood of almost 9000000 soviet soldiers while in the occupied territories more than 7000000 defenders died in total over 26000000 salvi its caves their lives to stop the scourge of fascism. there were so many heroes in the war risking their lives to save others one of them was a soviet soldier unpartisan called nicholai caselli off in the summer of 1942 he helps more than 200 jews to cross the front lines saving them from the nazis in occupied bellerose 6000000 jews were murdered in the holocaust the genocide of the

then to let you know moscow's victory parade starts in just under a couple of hours we're going to have laws for the special coverage for your thoughts throughout the morning as well as of other commemorative events that are happening throughout the day.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on all sides theory dramatic developments only loosely and going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down in.

a good morning let me take you through some of the top stories of reported to you over the last 7 days in our weekly this sunday morning from moscow and the 1st world press freedom day then was marked by u.s. authorities who focused mainly on journalists rights in other countries though the day arrived with the united states seeing itself more than 400 journalists assaulted over the past year there were a 139 arrests and over 100 cases of reporters equipment being damaged and then we checked out the 2021 tracker that showed more and more instance every day in the week r.t.c. goes down after a closer look at press freedom in america. if there's one thing entrenched in the d.n.a. of us democracy that would be putting america on the pedestal of righteousness at every given opportunity like here we're seeing every day. the work that journalists are doing around the world in increasingly difficult and challenging conditions

nothing is more fundamental to the good functioning of our democracies they advocate they seek safety they celebrate the u.s. knows how to throw one hell of a party for a truth teller look no further than julian asuncion he's published so many u.s. secrets america's justice department is captivated by the man they just won't take no for an answer if extradited a son it will be celebrating his accomplishments like the guantanamo bay files or the iraq war logs for up to 175 years likely in a maximum security prison the ruling in his case leaves open the possibility for the u.s. government to pursue journalists and publishers around the world if their reports and noise the washington establishment that essential remains in prison underlies the grievous threat to unfettered journalese that these serious legislation poses

and of course there's no bigger custodian of journalist safety than the modern day america it is incumbent on all of us to counter these threats to a free and independent media including physical risk and arbitrary detention for one saudi journalist physical risk and arbitrary detention escalated into horrible suffering and death in a matter of minutes jamal khashoggi fell out of favor with the saudi royal family and in 2018 was killed inside their consulate in istanbul reports suggest he was tortured before meeting his death beheaded and dismembered. as his killer as go to way on private jets the u.s. could not stand idle in the face of such an atrocity that's one reason we announced in response to the brutal murder of jamal khashoggi the shoji bam to help deter threatening behavior against the media i beg your pardon all this crucial g.

band is it is a visa restriction policy that doesn't even target the saudi crown prince despite the cia itself saying he personally ordered the hit we held accountable all the people in that organization but not the crown prince because we have never that i'm aware of when we have an alliance with a country gone to the acting head of state and punished that person and ostracized him and a cherry on top of this towering pile of a ball crissy is this promise of joe biden to show he was in fact murdered and dismembered and i believe in the order of the crown prince and i would make it very clear we were not going to in fact sell more weapons to them we were going to in fact make them pay the price and make it and in fact the pariah that they are the ban is cosmetic. we know or the murder and and the person who did

order that murders not going to be elder charitable he remains untouched because washington doesn't want to disrupt that relationship and because the saudi government buys billions of dollars worth of us are it's in the same way that we hear them talk about freedom of the prestes or rather hollow empty gestures that our attempt to. essential e massage public opinion or are in any real way attempting to hold people accountable us politicians love to float amid the smoke of virtue and mirrors of morality but then things come into sharp focus and we see just how little. integrity there is left. twitter has suspended a new account sharing donald trump's posts in the week just a day after it was created it was made by the former president's communications team to try to promote his statements well trump also discovered he won't be posting on instagram or facebook and in time soon as well because their oversight

board upheld a ban imposed after the capitol hill riots in january triggering rather an outburst from the former president. the boards fall into the 2 posed by mr trump on general with the 6th severely violate the facebook's community standards and instagram's community guidelines given the seriousness of the violations and the ongoing risk of violence facebook was justified even suspending mr trump's accounts on jenner of the 6 and extended that suspension on generally the 7th however it was not appropriate for facebook to impose am indifferent to suspension what facebook twitter and google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment to old country these corrupt social media account the noose must be a political price and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate electoral processes the tech giants claim the trump violated their incitement to violence policies we discussed the implications for former trump campaign advisor current

jono. should actually terrify every single american in any single citizen in the free world because we're looking at. a private for ration who is operating as a platform and one day and a publisher the next day we can have have it both ways but apparently they are right now these individuals. whether they are the c.e.o. of the company or a board were representative of of the company itself to make these decisions to silence americans or elected officials and not only becomes. a question of free speech we have a corporation an american corporation that is arguably more important and more powerful than elected representatives. big news too since dead and missing in hundreds injured in colombia after a week of anger at tax reforms the proposals now been scrapped but nonetheless the

government's crackdown only spurred on the protests a kind of live video was held in the capital on thursday night with thousands gathering to pay tribute to the dead while voicing demands for the killings to stop the violent reply to the protests was condemned globally but there was only a carefully measured response from the united states a country known of course for pulling out all the stops to support activists in other countries seen a correspondent look closer colombia is a warning to everyone a warning of what happens when people have had enough. millions

of colombians of fall into poverty because of the pandemic and economic woes media and the government plan was to hike to be 80 taxes so taxes on the already impoverished when the people rebelled the state attempted to crush them saying the police had new choice but the bats of them senseless. nothing justifies people who protected by the legitimate decisive citizens to march go out to shoot defenseless citizens and cruel attack police. there eating degrees of outrage today in from around the world for concern to shock to the surface in fact you could even get away with condemning the protesters all over the world citizens in democratic countries have the unquestionable right to protest peacefully violence

and vandalism is an abuse of that right at the same time we urge the utmost restraint by public forces to prevent additional loss of life yes you policeman killing all those silly protesters but then again colombia is very friendly with the us america regularly sends troops there so why ruin a good thing but just for reference listen to how the united states stuka about the protests in hong kong we will continue to stand with hong kong as as they respond to beijing's assault on these freedoms and autonomy and we will not stop calling for the release of those detained or imprisoned for exercising their fundamental freedoms you know how many protesters were killed by police in hong kong. 00 take their days where in neighboring colombia the u.s. tells brutus that behave themselves in venezuela they supported in the coup led by

a man described as washington's napco we will continue to work with our partners across the region both to alleviate the suffering of the venezuelan people and to exert pressure on the regime so the country can peacefully return to democracy will mention of the fact that most of the suffering in that age is due to american sanctions but hey it's just how politics works how much those in power care about the suffering of other people is directly related to what those in power have to get a why let the peasants in the disaffected destabilize colombia when the president is such a good friend. well washington columbia plays a very strategic role for the united states and not in america where there are several united states bases in colombia colombia for many years has been headed by governments and presidents that have been subservient to u.s. interests in the region so you see

a lot of geopolitical strategy being used in the united states of course they would turn a blind eye to human rights abuses in colombia because it doesn't they're. just as ignoring human rights abuses in saudi arabia or anywhere else in the world by a u.s. ally it's what they tend to do they tend to overlook things it doesn't serve their interests. some of the top stories the way back to today victory day here in russia we got special coverage all day on the moscow parades live here in about an hour and. a closer look at the role salvi of troops played in the liberation of you. who will destroy them. shaped.

sinks. to ask. the world with a chance. to see if they too will. into it. which. comes later. should that it is that it's a piece of that issue or a small bubble will burst from the us with. a more the what's called once this issue will. go off it's really. not out of the store to get a good beat and if we did those nobody had of much of a choice but you mean yes the. dog while much as they should but they do you feel

when you get out of the scott. peterson or she comes it's it's awful what you as a mistress. you . for more than 30 years beaten 16 from austria has been searching for information about suv you had to fill in austria during world war 2. is important.
