inside siege are said, the cool. okay, we just interrupt the engine there because as we approach at 11 am, you're in the russian capitalized mentioned the russian leader and other at countries. presidents and prime ministers are coming at towards the tomb of the unknown soldier just outside the friendliness at all the

the, the russian leader moves together with the other members of the countries and the terms the parade say, may dine. that means all of those countries, of course, affected by the 2nd world war. there are people of course, for a symbolic, very powerful image, not every year,

especially. i would submit this here as so many people are involved in another trial at conflict. the other members, they're moving in as well, representing other areas of russia to and they done the re, the, incidentally, as you're seeing there, they are many and leader we saw earlier, the feller roost funeral at respect and leader as well in the leader in the spring and tremendous done as well as the old mets, we believe for an informal at breakfast today. cremeans books person to be true pest golf said at they will perhaps at the meeting again one moment little bit later in the day with not a lot of information at all. not exact. the lot occurs and not respect ad,

but when we know a little bit more of that, we will of course at bring it to use. the mentioned earlier, of course, fewer and fewer veterans of the great patriarch for your and your unfortunately, but their families make sure to remember them. and at this incident is of great pride to them being able to lay their flowers in front of the leaders of those countries, including to allow them to pay the respects for the what was done in years gone by. so that people, the,

the, the, yes, so this is the scene like not in the russian capital live and which is from, at just outside red square of the, to all of the fall known soldier were flowers. and we something at the there, the russian leader as you can see, great thing the, the assembled, yes. the veterans under families always curious to see people traveling from across the country to, to be in the capital for the day and very important for them and their families. that it is. remember the

lady there was a photo of the, somebody from the navy as well. of course the navy, the air force or other members of run troops could debts. they were all in attendance at today. the guards tank army are there, as we saw on all those varying brigades throughout the morning. as they march at rumble through red square, we saw all the different factions of that the, the russian president there reading other guests, including the armenian prime minister. right now the of course, lots of celebrations happening not just in the counselor, but across at rush as well. we already saw some and now the bus stop the 1st to occur and rushes far east, where the rain as they are on it will be twice the day people will be,

will be marching and meeting off with, with old friends from best friends at a life to their families and, and sharing their experience, their, their, their people's experience of what they went through from 1941 to 1945. the width is the security concerns. right now i'm in a central square place is the full of people. it's so full of celebratory events on the 9th of may bytes. right now. as you can see, it's mostly empty. i have seen people in the military uniforms come in here taking pictures. you can see the local authorities have press stop the local square. i can see a lot of cars passing by with the victory flags where the russian flags and the desk republic flags, as well as a lot of people are wearing a middle of a lot of people wearing st. george ribbons as well. however,

central locations here in the nascar mostly deserted at the moment. and once again, this is due to security concerns because the, the city of the mask is under constant shedding by a ukrainian nationalist on less than 24 hours. at least 3 people who civilians have but being willing to advance and more than 20 private houses have been destroyed by indiscriminate. so you crate in our children's shutting now throughout the nights on the eve of the 9th of may. yeah, we've been hearing the work on the air, miss styles defense and just shortly before the parade. those sounds work heard as well. however, the people are celebrating, everybody is congratulating each other on this day. however, the local authorities, once again and for the 2nd year in a row, made the right decision not to create the mass gatherings of people

the so as to not give ukrainians a chance to to just boil this holiday if you will. the party correspond vermont cost drugs, giving us a sense in the done yes. republic. how that is being mark today. thank you. remember returning to red square and must go with a sites of the main parade this tuesday. that is indeed at where the parade's, the celebrations of just wrapped up. now, after being told by his military commanders that his forces were ready, russian president vladimir around an hour ago, address the pride, the country, and the world, and the speech. to commemorate the de ortiz donald quarter out of front row seat and brought us the main part, sell of the president's speech. and she thinks the way, the thing that's been the deal is you have supremacy is repulsive in

itself criminal and deadly. they globally see, however, the western globally significantly it's for you, is still talk about the explosive. it's a d e s colored option, the, but a lot, 0, it's probably probably sites that you provided with all the concepts and to nearly be face all seeds of hatreds. first of all, the an aggressive nationalism is, i mean the but it gets really destroyed. traditional family values like the chalet vehicle that make humans a few. and let me keep that should do all this night. he's been sitting here think facing and been for same there will of up on nation style of the rules going to be 0. and i see the issues essentially a system of pillage behind me, the military parade has just begun. these are the people serving russia that vladimir putin spoke about in his speech that russia will never forget. that will always honor. he mentioned the fact that the heroes of the war of 1812,

also known as the patriotic war and russia, the heroes of the great patriotic war from 1941 to 1945. and the heroes of the special military operation will always be remembered in the men in the hearts and minds of russians. see what you'd say, that is that the worst and that we did today, civilization to the aluminum. again, what are different actually is what's, what a southern border against the motherland. a real war is being waged a little. so this is the results of the catastrophe, the crate in nation. this is that is go into now. so if you click on the hostages to est with whom in the criminal originally monitor was throwing. if the supervisors just took you guns, they became poor ones in there, then that's cool. plans was issued to us and russia. the memory of those will defend them of the land is sacred. we keep it in our hearts, and we are proud. so the participants of this special military operation see me all

those fights in the battle line. so those will supply the phone to save, say, to the wounded. there is nothing more important than the combat work today. course . one of the objectives of the special military operation in ukraine is the not certification of ukraine, the a disarmament and the disbanding of these armed neo nazi groups likely as well. have battalion that one has actually been integrated into the regular ukrainian military as have others along with a very, very many others that are fighting but may have not been integrated into the ukrainian military. this is one of the main goals of the russian military operation in ukraine, just as their forefathers fought in the 1940s to red europe of the nazis of the original nazis. that of course, caused so much death and destruction within the territories. not only of the soviet union, but throughout all of europe,

and in other places as well. so that's what this day is meant to do. it's meant to commemorate the people who gave their lives in the struggle to glorify the men and women who are risking their lives today also to fight fascism. and as you can see behind me, that's exactly who are on parade today. we've got a lot of different branches of the military representative here today from the naval infantry of russia's armed forces to the uh, the, to the power trooper as of the military to the ground army forces, as well as like, was mentioned by the announcer on red square, $530.00 veterans of the current military operation and ukraine. so all of these areas of the russian military are being represented today to commemorate this very, very important day in the, in the, on the russian calendar. the quarter was similar and use lines to run during the day i want to bring you remain is prime minister has said he wants to move the

commemoration of the end of the 2nd world war in europe to may, 8th, not the 9th, to market in line with book arrest western partners to reflect the true symbolism of nazi germany surrender. i'm in the shooting steps to recognize may 8th as an official date for celebration of romania, along with our transatlantic partners. yeah, that tells you praying. and i said earlier that it was swapping i may, 9th victory day celebrations over now to germany with the use europe day festivities instead on the same date victory day would be celebrated again a day earlier. moscow claims the moves of a trail up the country, solving it for father's sama, emotional, hooked off. now by which we are returning the honest history to our states without ideological overtones. it is on me is that most nations of the world, remember the greatness of the victory over the nazis. we will never forget the contribution of the ukrainian people to the victory over naziism. we will not allow

lies as if the victory in the war could have taken place without the participation of any country or nation because alone. what could be worse than an enemy, traitor? here's the landscape, a new incarnation of judas, and the 21st century cancelling the may. 9th victory day. he once and for all has betrayed his ancestors. those who fought in the ranks of the red army, those who suffered and were tortured in concentration camps and those who worked for the victory behind the lines one victory for all fastest collaborator 80 years later. as we heard, one of our guest say earlier as well, presidents lensky is backing the dismantling of memorials. the soviet stores who died liberating ukraine from german forces. his government was being tearing dot monuments of writers, politicians with links to russia as well. um, the ukraine leader. well, he's not the only one trying to rewrite russia's place in the history books. as ortiz read, a cluster of it can take us through the holding military parades and honoring the

millions who lost their lives to dispute to nazi germany is se credit in russia as nearly every household was effected. but for years, the west has been criticized in russia during its collaboration, all of the tragic events and focusing on anything bots. what the soviets actually achieved. russia is flexing its military muscles. russia is hijacked in world war 2 to justify a russian victory. they celebration spelt a diplomatic defeats for russia, boots and sounded like a loser during his victory day speech and so on and so forth. it was all part of an effort to minimize russia's role in this feed, taking nazi germany. and it seems that it started right after the war ended with the voice of headlines like these, the western allies and russia. if only they could get rid of the latter. but back then the general consensus was up. the soviet union deserve the most credit for

nazi germany's defeats in world war 2 will fast forward several decades. and it's a different picture now. they started by trying to convince members of the former soviet bloc that the us to solve, we're not liberators, but occupiers. in recent years, they launched the campaign to equal communism. so naziism and stalling. so hitler and it proved successful in countries like poland and the type republic after the fall of the us, the stock they did the same with a number of former soviet republics and 78 years after the defeat of nazi germany was the war, monuments dedicated to red army soldiers torn down and desecrated in baltic states and ukraine. well, t a has just cancelled life of may as victor they all together. in moldova, they announced that anyone called where in the same to,

to live in on main lives will be fined or given community service. so any one, wherever they're ripping marketing the heroism of their soviet ancestors will be punished because they want this ribbon to be associated with boston aggressive not triumphs pretty good. this, that the ministry of internal affairs is preparing all the necessary regulations. then they will announce exactly how they will document and sanction those who do not comply with the law. i want to note that the decision of the constitutional court contradicts and does not change anything compared to may the 9th last year. these characters all prohibited the use will be sanctioned. those symbols are now binds, but you know what is allowed neo nazi parades and the celebration of nazi soldiers where and not to insignia and tearing their flags. and this is all allowed and happening in countries like lots via poland, ukraine, because they believe that the us us are occupied them and then slave their people.

and now the west is eager to pay russia as the new 3rd reich, and polluted as modern day. hibler. vitamin pollution continues to show the world these, the new hitler. is it commits monsters genocidal barbarism when hitler is dated. poland. and remember in the thirty's, as lots of americans said, why do we care about the success of all your wares colon? this is not our words, not our problem. that's what they say. american 1st, there's an echo of a sentiment that we have in this country today. they want to race history, and this is something which is very bad. and this is, this is the stuff of the talent service. and you can't just destroy monuments and try to rewrite history. and we know that the west has a very big, major identity problem which is global, which is religious, which is, i would say historical, which is cultural. and they think that they could just rewrite history books and demolish statues and say that, okay, they've got a new history, but that's just not the way things work. i think they, it's, it's, and it's

a shame, shameful for these countries to forget the help that they received from the soviet union a to the rate themselves from not isms. i think this is something which they can the dish. no country should do. the must always remember this what some more is that the same confidence who saw for about the hands of the nazis are now refusing to condemn it. and that you was recently joined the list of countries including ukraine, which voted against a us resolution condemning nazi is i'm so maybe most court has the right to annually parade its troops on red square show it's mind to it's underneath and warrants that it won't allow history to be a river, it's in many of these countries are we reading their own past and it says if they hadn't participated as if they were ashamed of participating again and this and his grand fight against the german rice. so i think it's still getting this has to do with the identity problem is because of virginia really is at the state level and

they are, they want to rewrite their histories at this is their own history. a lot of these countries followed up, let's not forget that millions of ukrainians feelings are really to and yet is hundreds of thousands of really doing into sonya in different countries. they stood up. they were not all fighting on the, on the german side and little were to signing this is destroying their home just there either which is something which is again, hurting their own, their, their own histories. damage of, of the, to the, to the uh, to the people, to the ancestors who have done this, of people from these countries. and it can, it just shows how mentally i think the west this ticket, this, it can very well. uh say that it is not uh, partisans of the soviet system, but recall with the soviet did for them. and the site that there uh that their own people went through to the, to the right, their countries and fight against an a, an invading state for a while they struggle for freedom against fascism across the soviet union. on

europe was met, conflict at half a 1000000 soldiers from africa, assured the same fate, king the ultimate sacrifice and the fight against now to use them. as the world commemorates victory de archie visited with mister willie pope. roy, a veteran of world war 2, and i forget to hear his story. little i have, i was in the army, so this, i just follow that and we went up to the, for the independent was on the royal air force base. and we, we try and pilots people, pilots, well luck. it was really, it was very upsetting. it wasn't that easy task, a tool. you know, one thing when you were in the army, there was no such thing as black and white. you were in the army. you were so just together, we will kid 1. 1 i'm to is to destroy naziism and maybe tell us was there any cooperation, old co ordination between the soviet armies and the african armies?

well, good. we were fighting the same will. they will fly to hear from the country and we will find the use from, from africa. we fought the war and we ended the war. and the reason we wait one, the peace to the north african campaign, lost it for 3 years from june 1940 to may 1943, and included bottles in libya, egyptian deserts morocco, algeria, and tune this. yeah, it reached a peak and all our main age at that time when the british commonwealth forces inflicted a decisive defeat on the german africa corps and forced the remaining troops by 2 chimneys, yet no, not fit to prevent it. not see forces from advancing further into africa. among the find yourself, the north african campaign was frank, so long after the war was over, the south african veteran continued his struggle for freedom by contributing to the defeat of the apartheid government. we've got the chance to hear his story from and so why they had involved in 1940 p was say, the pride being

a libya. and in fact, there was one of those who had come checked by the forces of misleading. so after the 2nd world, all, so finally came back and he was one of those who in the club nice as pure soul just and we're giving the bicycle. if you had been working at quote, it bleed into sports. but to join his big concept, it sets build houses here in to be where the storage us we're living and he kept his comrades together. i'm told that he's too much up and down the streets when ever big today came every year. and that, that, that, i think influenced the young people in this area to join m k. when he does positive work to do so. one of the many global stories this victory day to be told i'll be back with more plus a recap of what we saw today in red squared, and indeed other celebrations commemorations across russia as well. stay with us.

this is our to introduction the a, a, [000:00:00;00] the,

[000:00:00;00] the, [000:00:00;00] the, there's an old roman maxim,

see advice that puts you in that pair of them. if you would love peace, be prepared for war. now the logic behind this was an attack was a slightly, if you look like it, you are more prepared. however, in a present day, it seems not about how much you are prepared, but more importantly, how prepared are your alliance. it's sky know, huge it on this edition of 360 view, we're going to take a look at why some countries always seem to a urine for battle. and if a war has become the most profitable business today, let's get started. the throughout history wars have been fought when one country has something, the other ones and generally does not have the ability to do trade for it. now this can be a natural resource, a power structure, or the land itself. most of the complex could be contained to the region. however,

today the world is so interconnected, it's almost impossible to not have
