i have 2 homeless. ah, i, i guess i should begin with. that's the beginning. my father was russian. my mother was ukrainian, they both lived in 2 neighboring villages in western ukraine. there were serfs, they sell the land, they worked for the landlords. very poor, and when the revolution broke out in 1917, my father, a 16 year old boy at that time, volunteered to join the red army. that was the revolutionary army. at that time to overthrow the czar or the king of the russian empire. at the end of the russian civil war,

the cavalry soldier steppin watch returns to his native village, sidney. but very soon after he receives an offer to work in canada, step on accepts the offer, eventually flees from chaos, hunger in typhus. lighting candidate seems promising. a new employer pays for the moving and guarantees a stable job. 2 years after stephan moves his wife arrives in canada. the settle in the small town of winnipeg across the border with the united states. after a short while, the couple have 2 children, george and karl. the great depression is in full swing. at the height of the great depression, everyone was jobless. everyone was travelling around in bucks cars looking for jobs all over canada than the canadian government launched a program called homesteading. the homesteading program,

which is based on the following the government of canada gave those who wanted to volunteers. busy free land absolutely free for a couple of horses, a cow bowl tree. my father volunteered for a homeless setting and we moved north in manitoba to a place called near swan lake. and there we have plenty of food the day. my father and his friends and relatives built a house. we were there. we started going to school there, walking about 6 miles to a country school. but there was no money, no money. no money was acc, shane my mother made milk with the help of karl and myself were churning. i remember my childhood. oh, churning milk, up and down it. no one knows what

a churn is. and still though no money will exchange. we're my dad, only god who had all the potatoes, vegetables, chickens, everything, dag, some milk, ferreting over all the food when he needed. mm. 19. 39, the beginning of world war to canada, interest the war, alongside great britain, the hardships of the great depression and the challenges of world war to speed up the process of industrialization in canada. the defense industry is rapidly developing. the watts family moves to the city of hamilton, where stefan it's a job at a steel factory, their sons, george and carl, enter the westdale, secondary school of hamilton, and work with their father at the steel mill. the future of the translators relations with language is challenge to say the least. what i was studying, french and latin in west l. secondary school. i was the worst french

language student in my class. and they were teacher handing out papers at the half of the easter holidays, christmas holidays and final exams. i heard the handout, the highest march 1st at the lowest mark's last and i was the last one to get my paper. he is george you fantastic. made 22 out of 100. i got i got his message, of course. on e, sir, when the his handing of the papers after the easter exam. he said george, terrific progress you make. you doubled your marking that 44 bushes still below 50 with a passing mark. and then he says, george, you'll never pass french. finally in august,

local have local newspaper came on hamilton. spect they're the results of the final exams in westdale, secondary school by class, george watts, in brackets 8, i gotta, i gotta look at the end of the 1940s, the world is recovering from the deadly war. george's father was progressively political, though not a communist. none, the less progressives were suspect, and often black was it was his father's politics and love of the place of his birth . at the time, russia then, the soviet union, they drove him to return to help rebuild the country. after the savage invasion and occupation, my nazi germany, my father. when we lived in canada, the 2nd world war broke out and day it was well devastated by the war. and after the war ended, my father was followed the movements of the front. please from frank,

going east and then rolling back towards berlin. and he, the reason we came to the country, he said, let's go to live my homeland and help the people rebuild them their whole mind. i was 20 years old 19 at the time. and my brother was 20 and do we upheld my father's initiative? and we came to this country to help rebuild the family, waited for permission to enter the soviet union for several years. and only in 1951 . the soviet embassy in washington sent a positive response. the watts family set off without having any idea how different life had become in the soviet union. on april 3rd, 1952, george watts, his family returned to the u. s. s. r. we got out of the train that brought us across the river from poland into bela russia to breast. and my father was

so overwhelmed by returning to his native home land. that cares appeared in his eyes. and there he even bowed down and kissed the ground. i was very impressed. i so remember that picture vividly in my mind, my father coming down on his knees and kissing the ground. since the inception of the soviet union, western media had always viewed this country with suspicion and even hostility. george was pleasantly surprised. people were helpful and kind still recovering from the sufferings of the worn. the country with just rebuilding and people were lucky . they felt like they were alive. that's most important thing because life is our

one time gift and you have to live it to the best of your ability. and people were just happy that they were alive. they were helping each other. there may or may, we should all be mayor may we should all be angry because of what's going on. right . can't understand united states history and the role that slavery plate is already a very formal institution. by the time united states became a nation, it actually find the nation, the rise of capitalism clearly on the backs of flight and the slaved efforts. if you had investigated lynchings, any great extent. you can't believe a country and my country still stands in brick. i'm from the south. everybody

know know what this thing to some extent. i would argue that we're still fighting the civil war in the south is 2100 mic. no city, no borders under a piece. and you as a merge, we don't have authority. we don't look back seen the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be doing better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great. the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel

very proud that we are in it together with it's an open secret that private military companies have been playing a role in armed conflicts. world wide. u. s. government doesn't track the number of contractors and uses in places iraq or afghanistan, the united states army and the military and general is so reliance on the private sector. i would call that dependency, but we don't know who's the on the ground presence of these companies overseas. we just don't out west and private military companies can in their turn, views, so cool subcontractors from countries with trouble pass the chances i quite good that they had also been child diligence processes. i was a child, as well as my job professional job is, is with the

whole 141. if i said that looked with no food, no minimum own la, shy, which i mean to be merciless killing machines. now they fight and die in other people's was people carol, lot one or a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this country and then we start asking yourself, why did they die? why do what were they fighting for? nobody bothers asked about that contractors. i we arrived in the city of water, shallow god, which is in the ukraine, which is lof calling now called the lo hans, that to where my parents are buried. and when we arrived, there were, 1st of all,

we had no place to live. the we rented a room and the people, the local people never once seen anyone like that before came to us and proposed to help us in any way they could with food with books for my brother. and i had never read a russian book before and they were very friendly and kind hearted. this is one thing that i experience right from the very 1st day and all through my 65 years here in this country. and i experienced this every day, even now. another thing i noticed at that time, there was no advertisement, no commercials anywhere. there are no, there was only one thing i noticed on the par on the side of

a hope. huge building on brick. there was assigned in russian which red ice cream is a very delicious and healthy food. what kind of ice cream the did mention? this is what the food is. instruct me mean is i remember that the for right from the fur fur thay that we arrived in that city attorney. one thing when my brother and i started setting in moscow that was a 9 king 55. how we weren't hungry. we weren't starving. but i, i, we never turned down any thing that was offered to us to eat her or to drink. and way i remember one thing we're living in the dormitory, out of the foreign language institute. hell not far from red square. and there we could afford on our meager stipend, which is kind of a scholarship that we could,

we could buy black caviar is it was in store just to see a little bit a higher price than the other food products. but that's when we 1st tasted black caviar. never had the black cavern, canada at all. never. not even rick. how would you like to have your name changed by someone in a split 2nd, a new name, not of your own choosing. well, that is exactly what happened to george and his brother. now, they had a russian identity that was in brochure of god. in 1952, within i think was in 2 weeks we had to report to the local police station that was called the militia. in salvage, in that time, go to the passport department and ask for him to fill out on the basis of what,

what kind of document you have. so my brother and i got on board tree carne traveled to the other part of water, shallow grub, and the ge. what do you want boys and little window in door. just know who are speaking in russian were shy with us now. we couldn't speak very well. and his passport console and what's your name? george is wyatt. george. i don't understand anybody mile. to a hair's, here's my birth certificate to written george watts. that's not a russian name. you're gonna be in regardings of make no difference to me than my brother. she's what's your name is carl work after the war against nancy, germany curl. no, that's not a rush name. you're going to be kill. so that's with the lady at the passport does

just like that. a click of the finger gave me one name, my brother, another name. that's it. the fact that george was a need to speaker of canadian english would be a priceless skill for a young man coming from the working class. george, his language skills would be the determining factor with the rest of his life. when i came to the soviet union, i finally realized that my knowledge of english, my pronunciation, of english knowledge of english grammar structure in phonetics was actually a moon. and then we borrow some money from our neighbors to go to leningrad, foreign language institute, andrew, we got a reply from her leningrad here. if you pass your exams, you'll be given accommodations as a dormitory local guard. and i was he in lang grad at

a place called institute of noble ladies, which was later called the ear famous headquarters of the communist party when the revolution started. but anyway, with my brother and i went there, replied we, we finally managed to pass the interest exams were given. accommodations in the dormitory, we began studying everything seemed to be going go good then right after the new year we got called out to the principal, really in russia it's called the director directors lady together with our front edition. and shes you boy, you 2 boys from canada will have to change your pronunciation. what? because we here at our and stood we teach king's english james, james king james english. i said i can pretend i understand.

will you please pour me a cup of tea? will you be so kind as to pc or mac up a t? well, they didn't that there anyway long and short of the story was they transferred us to moscow withdraw combinations which had a translators department. we were welcomed with open arms by the teachers. very good, good teaching staff in moscow. 319 fifties were a time, a great change in the soviet union and on the world stage, after joseph stalin died in 1953, we keep the khrushchev would initiate a political fall with the west. george was in the right place, and at the right time, nikita khrushchev came to, to power a he opened nurse invited businessmen flooded into the us asserts

assignment. hence the big demand for interpreters and translators. here, late in january after the final in the christmas exams are, there was a correspondence from radio moscow course job ish new, minsky. later on, i know we met him and spoke to him very fine. boy, he was taking interviews, but from among the english speaking students, and one of students told him this is why hey, why don't you interviewed to canadian boys, yours? what the canadian life that's how just my accidents. course job ish, new best cases. when he give me an interview, sure, why not? and so we had a very fine interview. he said, j u boy speak very good english. i said was it's canadian english. and he says, well would you come in for our management's invite you to come to work for us? i sir. well, he's why we thought it just in passing later on,

we got to call contact from him. and he has come on up to the radio station. and that was in the center of moscow. and we, they interviewed us. would you like to work for us as translators, announcers, and, well, we do really don't know the particulars of this because we never had done that before. we confessed immediately. but we had the makings of that. in 1957, moscow holds the world festival of youth and students. the festival attracts 34000 people from 130 countries, a record breaking number for that time during the festival. george and his brother were taking their 1st steps in their long career in radio. and so moscow launched our program called come to moscow for the festival. by carl and george were to us, but they changed our name from watts to we had gone to russian sounding name. and

that's where, how we ended up in radio. moscow. later on, we finished studying the institute. we managed to get a job there. i translated, interpreted in the kremlin cru shove, landed bresh. thank god i didn't translate nor by 12 because he never would finish his sentences. never. but i have voiced him even at the r t 3 or 4 times. we shy you so i was voicing him and he's waive to me. i waved back at him and we had translated yeltsin then the kremlin and even song he sang. i hear he was very eloquent speaker. i never, i never translated and drop off. or guys,

i never translated charter the 1000000 wish something atrocious. he didn't know what he was talking about. our translator can translate only what he understands. that's the basic, that's the bottom line. you can translate only what you understand. join me every posted on the alex simon fuel. when i'll be speaking together in the world of politics, sport, business, i'm show business. i'll see you then with james all down through here. all of mr. larry over here. so your camps are always a little nicer than this. this is evidence of absolute poverty. just fair people in

our city and other cities all across america are living like this. we're at the original eden village that opened up in 2018. and right now there's 31 homes on the property. it's a little over 4 acres with 31 homes and a community center. unfortunately, a lot of people don't make it out of edition more homelessness and i'm just really happy. it made it her dad you with me in. ah, oh. wines have been drawn and positions made clear after 2 weeks of high level talks, russia and nato, we main poles apart on how to define pan european security moving forward. moscow is presented its vision in writing while washington falls back on our cave. cold war cliche is the earth's still large

enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff bezos? you know, it's got its tentacles in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon isn't trying to get into the step by step. the amazon empire has extended its group on the world that walks like end up being quite like a dog. it's a dog. so amazon looks like monopoly trades like a monopoly makes money like a monopoly. behaves like monopoly. amazon essentially controls the market place. it's not really a market, it's a private arena, a wild where a single company controls the distribution of all data products and the infrastructure of our economy. is this the world according to long, long mo, when i want something wrong, when i just don't know, i mean you will have to face out disdain because the advocate and engagement
