4 year conflict with nazi germany is known to russians as the greats of patriotic war and will now join and nationwide minutes of silence for those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

all on. the. air by. the defeats of the 3rd reich in world war 2 exactly 76 years ago came at an enormous cost for the soviet union and for the occasion r.t. has brought to life archive footage of some of the soviet soldiers. he made that

victory possible.

russian troops and military vehicles have cooperated 3 moscow's red square full of the capitals and you will see day parade is the biggest of dozens of processions taking place across russia to celebrate the defeat of nazi germany saskia sailor and rory so you say bring us the highlights. today at this few day there will be no dignitaries in attendance so the kremlin basically wanted to say that we would like to err on the side of caution so although we're going to have the big guns the big jets the big tanks and all the different regiments and battalions marching across red square it will be a slightly smaller audience for this year's edition of that image putin flanked by a number of veterans as well who are attending today.

that every single russian will dive into his family archive and his photo album and think of his ancestors and what role they played you know i know for myself on this day more than most i think of my grandmother. houston's 15 years old when she lied about her age and she signed up to fight and she was in the immediate part to independent women's taleo that was the 1st all female polish infantry unit in the red army and something unbelievably beautiful about the fact that decades after she stepped up to see a young girl a child really to fight i'm standing here to try to ration slater quite literally as a symbol of the future that she won for me i would have loved to hear the millions of heroes like her who were courageous of beyond belief i'm who saw things back in belief so they could know that years and years have passed fewer and fewer of that

generation still alive but still to this day we live peacefully and by the motto that inversion goes. no one is forgotten nothing is forgotten. so obvious soldiers stormed birdland in late april 1945 and by may 2nd as the red flag was raised over the reichstag nazi germany formally capitulated a week later veterans who took part in the operation still have vivid memories of those days. well of course the war was won over 3 quarters of a century ago but some of today's veterans are still performing feats that might make you think they were still in the prime of life proving age has no limits. that's my.

today the seventy's think that of those 3 of the great patriotic war the images will be full cost on t.v. media screens and online platforms is hoped to rearrange the event to take place on june the 24th covert restriction for missing. posters a is sunday may the 9th 2021 it's a victory day here in russia the main courageous happened we brought it to you live but we have much more special coverage all day to come to you with more commemorative events taking place including a huge fireworks display in the evening.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is on offer and spirit dramatic developments only mostly engage in loses i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical barring time to sit. him talk.

i am to old welcome back now to some of the top stories from the past 7 days of starting in the united states where world press freedom day was marked by us or dorothy's who mainly focused on journalists rights in other countries the day arrived as it was revealed that the united states had witnessed more than 400 assaults on journalists over the past year there were also 139 a rests and over 100 cases of reporters equipment being damaged and the 2021 tracker shows more and more incidents every day in the week r t z goshdarn of took 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 sunday 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's to pursue journalists and publishers around the world if their report and annoys the washington establishment that a century remains in prison underlies the grievous threat to unfettered journalese that these 2 years 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 that consulate in istanbul reports suggest he was tortured before meeting his death beheaded and dismembered. as his killers got away

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. is 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 punish that person and asked resized him and a cherry on top of this towering pile of paul christie is this promise of joe biden to show he was in fact murdered and dismembered alive believe in the order of the crown prince and i would make it very clear we were not going to interact war

weapons to them we were going to in fact make them pay the price and make and in fact a pariah that they are the baron is cosmetic. we know or the murder and then the person who did order their murders not going to be able to charitable it remains untouched because washington doesn't want to disrupt that relationship as 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 that was sharing donald trump's posts just a day after it was created it was made by the former president's communications team to promote his statement trump is also blacklisted on instagram and facebook that oversight board up held a ban imposed after the capitol hill riots in january and the trick it quite an

outburst from the former president. the board farms the 2 posed by mr trump one general with the 6th severely violated thiis books community standards and the instagram's community guidelines given the seriousness of the violations and the ongoing risk of violence facebook was justified in suspending mr trump's accounts on general of the 6 and extended that suspension on generally the 7th however it was not appropriate for facebook to impose an indefinite suspension what facebook twitter and google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment told country these corrupt social media companies must pay a political price and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate our electoral processes the tech giants claim trump violated their incitement to violence policies we discuss the implications of this with former trump campaign advisor karen geno owner. 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 upgrading as a player and one day and a publisher the next day we can have have it both ways but apparently we are right now these individuals whether this hero of the company or a board were representative of the company itself to make these decisions to silence americans or elected officials it 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. dozens dead and missing and hundreds injured in colombia after a week of anger at tax reforms the proposal has now been scrapped but the government's crackdown only spurred on the protests

a candlelight vigil. so how to make 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 as being closely condemned however it was only a kathleen measured response from the united states a country known for pulling out all the stops to support activists in other countries our senior correspondent mark gaseous looks at why. colombia is a warning to everyone a warning of what happens when people have had enough. millions

of colombians of fool him into poverty because of the pandemic and economic woes medians and the government plan was to hike to be 80 taxes so taxes on the already impoverished when the people rebuild the state attempted to crush them saying the police had new troy's but that's of them senseless. nothing just a force on people who protected by the legitimate desires of citizens to march go out to so 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 protest of 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 city protestors 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 to combat the protests in hong kong we will continue to stand with hong kong as as they respond to beijing says salt 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. 0 think that is where in neighboring colombia the u.s. tells protests this 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 build mention of the fact that most of the suffering in that age is jew 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 wide net the peasants in the disaffected these stabilize colombia when the president is such a good friend. washington colombia plays a very strategic role for the united states in latin america you know there are several united states bases and be at columbia for many years has been headed by governments and presidents that had been subservient to u.s. interests in the region and so you see

a lot of geo political 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. what it will just is ignoring human rights abuses in saudi arabia or anywhere else in the world by a u.s. ally but they tend to do that they tend to overlook things when it doesn't serve their interests. many thanks for joining us on r.t. and so national today that's all from me for now but you know neal will be hit with more in just 30 minutes.

or 2 leave the loser i. lose my. was 6 curious was. cool to. the life it's not true there's no new me it's in the coffin with them with the sea in the nice couple with that feeling relieved the fact that it was. true exploited crew filled in for mass india. weekend with the plane not the class that asked their kid in the news if he knew you at the cuckoo or can you put a shawl of those things off the roof of the lucky believe just all your plates being the least.
