the other side of your screen coming from there luzhniki in bike meant spiral hell as if you know this city every popular place let's say take a listen to what is occurring here that's.

what you're seeing here are among 60 fireworks shows lighting up the skies over the company marking the 76th victory day on the 6 spectacular.

so let's just explain why we're seeing the pictures we are the defeats of the 3rd reich came an enormous cost for the soviet union almost $27000000.00 salvi its citizens both civilians and soldiers lost their lives in the eastern front of world . germany is known to russians as the great patriotic for the occasion r.t.s. brought to life. of some of the soviet troops and me free.

yeah the color footage really is spectacular isn't it just some hours ago russian troops military vehicles paraded through moscow's red square for the capitals a parade the biggest of dozens of perceptions which took place across russia to celebrate the defeat of nazi to the tailor. of the bank.

today at this feat 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 lot of the putin flanked by a number of veterans as well who are attending today.

but that was. then coming. so is this fantastic oh my goodness me i think i'm 90 years old playing with my toys all over again absolutely remarkable display of russian aerospace technology here right above rows square. sensory data. gets knowledge from my friend. we've come to the final great

event that everyone not just the basics. but trail. blacks is going to be any more patriotic on the night they get today is a very powerful tale of collective remembrances as numerous countries stretching over $5000.00 tyneside of the $146000000.00 citizens russia comes together as one and it reminds itself of how much it owes those $27000000.00 each for this hour with each other at the same time last being a very showy public national holiday and also also an intense week costs in all of that every single russian dies into his family archive and his photo album and think of his ancestors and what role they played you know oh i know for myself on the stage more than most i think of my grandmother. she was just 15 years old when

she lied about her age and she signed up to fight and she was in the end be a prophet independent women's taddeo i was the foster will female kodesh infantry unit in the red army and something unbelievably beautiful about the fact that decades of she stepped off as a young goal a child really to fight i'm standing here to generations later quite yet she as a symbol of the future that she wanted for me i would have loved to hear me talk about and the millions of. heroes like who are courageous that beyond belief and things belief that they could know years and years have passed much fewer and fewer of that generation is still alive but still to this day we live by the motto that involved. no one is forgotten nothing is forgotten.

soldiers stormed berlin in late april 145 i may 2nd the red flag was raised over the reichstag nazi germany formally capitulated one week later veterans who took part in the operation still have vivid memories of those days. while many nations contributed to the final victory fighting together with the soviets to bring the devastating war to an end in a number of foreign veterans come to moscow to pay their respects to the solving it . one of the above code on the canvas no the motivation is not a religious no political it's a push the enemy back into this territory the division of soldiers from 22 countries including lots an american from the communists to use muslims and we all

fall together. i was part of a small reconnaissance unit among punks we had in the 2 machineguns from the famous one of the guys was general clark's eldest son in law he was later killed in indochina. i tried to remember how it was a minute that appeared the ultimate price war to reverse. through the bush should the reef rushed to look great and all of a modern mental god no high priority there were players there was shot

6000000 jews were murdered in the holocaust some of the people nicholai rescued recall the horrors of occupation. you see. my sister was one of the many whose lives you saved by rescuing them from hitler's cannibals you saved my life and i cannot forget that. the moon is the seat on the beach didn't sit still. just to be key and you into the dance doesn't dilute when your good will be the nice silk of the london. good. deal until some deluded militarize of you get the. gold new. sleepless night chill the north pole for treats search so dark in our

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. here in dramatic development the only really exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the world is driven by shaped.

thinks. we ask. 20 minutes into the program welcome world press freedom day was mark this week by u.s. authorities mainly focused on journalist rights in other countries the united states itself as witness more than 400 journalists over the past year there are also

$139.00 arrests and over $100.00 cases of reporters or quit being damaged 2021 trucker shows more and more incidents every day r t z versions of takes 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 to pursue journalists and publishers around the world if their report and noise the washington establishment that is sanch remains in prison underlies the grievous threat to unfettered journalese that these u.s. 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 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 ostracized

him and a cherry on top of this towering pile of a ball kristie 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 but i would make it very clear we were not going to interact more weapons to them we were going to in fact make them pay the price and make them in fact the pariah that they are the ban is cosmetic. we know or the murder and and the person who did order their murders not going to be elder charitable he 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 the ridge left. twitter has suspended

a new account that was sharing double trump posts a day after it was set up it was created by the former president's communications team trump is also blacklisted it's on instagram and facebook their oversight board apel the bone impose there for the capitol hill riots in january. the board found the 2 posed by mr trump on general of the 6th so really violated facebook's community standards and 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 jenner of the 6 and extent of the 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 to all country these corrupt social media companies must pay a political price and must never again be allowed to destroy and decimate electoral

process. the take joy in stay mr trump follow elated there incitement to violence policies we discuss the implications of votes with former trump team advisor. actually terrify every single american in any single citizen in the free world because we're looking at. a private for ration he was operating as a platform and one day and a publisher the next day they can have have it both ways but apparently they are right these individuals. whether they're the c.e.o. of the company or a boord representative of the company itself to make this decision says silence americans or elected officials in 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. and let's go live on the program now to jerusalem where is really security forces are bracing for further chaos after several days of clashes in the city which of lift dozens injured tensions have flared up over possible the vixens of palestinians from the claim by . let's cross live even though to our bureau chief in jerusalem paul sr paula a tense situation. there are setting a very tense situation we're looking at be consecutive day of violence not suffer me out the mosque in the old city up jerusalem just behind me you can see where police officers have taken a position and just confronting them on the opposite side of the road up palestinian youngsters who have been throwing rocks and stones in a direction i just want to turn around and being that it was looking praying. and

cloth clothes and still try. what happened is that the massive machine that gives off then kind of putrid water started praying the situation here is far from over this is the worst violence that the significance of them has seen in the cost or day in the form possible use apologies it's because of the fact that the holy month of ramadan the fact that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas has phoned indefinite elections blaming israel at the same time tomorrow is supposed to be to rousselin day now this is an annual commemoration where israelis march through jerusalem and something like 5000 of them are expected to come here this is the mass to be reached the maximum number that israel the authorities are allowing but it certainly is going to provoke tensions because you already have a situation like this when you sign you have a hardline a right wing israelis waving israeli flags that's certainly just going to create an

even more tense situation at the same. time that it was supposed to be a decision tomorrow by the supreme court as to the cubic cent of some 70 palestinian family will some neighborhood known as sharon sharon that has been postponed because of the violence but with this being the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said that he will continue to keep the calm and that he wants me he extremist what he called wyatt's saxton's. but earlier tonight they were clashes in front of the evil university point 3 people were injured and some 3 feet were arrested so we are expecting the showdown here and the old city of jerusalem not far from the al aqsa mosque to continue source few hours and at the same time we are hearing reports of of my limbs elsewhere in the west bank and simply because sometime us people to come out and protest against israel so a very very tense situation interesting and here jerusalem braced for more unrest paula
