they probably both joined the communist party either before or around that time.ly decided that his communism and the need to fight fascism trumped his christianity. and so, devout though he was, he went back to the conscription board and said, excuse me, i've changed my mind, i want to go and fight. he did all this training and was then shot and killed. what intrigues me is that you have such passion for him even though you never knew him. but maybe the fact of not knowing him has intensified the desire to do something with your life that you believe he would have been proud of. well, you're absolutely right. on a gig, somewhere in america, we have vets who come at half—time to every show. at one gig there was this chap who was out of the main circle of people wanting to take pictures and get autographs. he stopped me and put his hand out and i took his hand and said, i'm glad you could come. he looked me in the eyes... it's hard for me to tell you this... he said, "yourfather would be proud of you". that meant a lot? it wasn't him saying it that meant it... i ca

the communist party hopes that this memory of this pa rt party hopes that this memory of this part ofto come, even without a castro brother at the helm. now to a notorious case from the past, one of the biggest serial murders in american history. in the early 1920s, members of the osage indian tribe became wealthy overnight when oil was discovered on their land. but soon after, many members of the tribe were shot and poisoned — and the killings led to a pioneering fbi investigation. a new book puts a spotlight on this chilling chapter. the united states was still remarkably lawless country back in the 1920s. particularly in its last remnant of the wild west. you had outlaws wandering the streets with their six shooters in their pockets. you had sheriffs, oilmen, prospectors. my name is david grant, iam also prospectors. my name is david grant, i am also of this book. the indians once controlled much of the central pa rt once controlled much of the central part of the united states and were eventually forced to cede more than 100 million acres of territory. it was at that time that a o

president castro didn't speak himself, but the communist party's second—in—command warned the us presidentfirst such event to be held since fidel castro died at the end of last year, and the last to be led by his younger brother raul castro. he is due to finally hand over the reins of power when he steps down in february, 2018. but the passing to a younger generation presents its own problems to this entrenched political system. the likely successor is the 57—year—old vice president, miguel diaz—canel, a man who hasn't seen military action and or fight in the revolutionary war in the late 1950s. some suggest without those same revolutionary credentials as the castro brothers, he'll struggle to inspire the nation, especially the island's youth. activists who turned out for this event, however, disagree. translation: i'm not worried, because the new generation has been training alongside the new old leadership and will accept them when the time comes. translation: our leaders trust the youth, and have set an example for them, so things won't be left up in the air. translation: we'll make sur

and to investigate how now runs the state and is convincing large numbers of people to join the communist party may have been our allies in world war ii so he starts to investigate and comes up with the term brainwash. and attributes to the chinese but documents show that so that floats around a little bit so that the end of the korean war 7,000 american pows come back. and "the new york times" reported that almost one-third of those 7,000 were convinced to cooperate with the enemy in some form or fashion. so it is a puerto rico disaster in and nightmare and in fact, there are 22 american soldiers that decided not to even come home and are supposedly indoctrinated and decided to stay in korea so the term just explodes to explain what the communists were doing then to the course of the fifties the way to explain what the communist want to do want to come to america to be infiltrating through the several tactics of these technologies to become communist to rob americans of their freedoms. and from there the term explodes on the political left and right to describe how those victims of indoctrinat

investigates how he's running his state and its convincing large numberhisconvif people to join the communist party and run the government in china. these were the allie allies in d war ii and suddenly they are enemies. so he starts to investigate this and writes a book and comes up with this term brainwashing. he is attributed to the chinese but apparently documents [inaudible] with that kind of flips around a little bit and then at the end of the korean war, two years later after the first book in 1953, operation big switch and little switch, 7,000 comeback and "the new york times" reported that almost a third of the 7,000 had been convinced to cooperate with the enemy in some form or fashion so it is a pr disaster and nightmare. in fact, there were 22 american soldiers who got released and decided not to even come home, so they had been in a prison camp with the communists and cod supposedly indoctrinated and then decided to stay in korea instead of coming home so the term brainwashing just explodes. that's the way to explain what the communists were doing to these american pows and then its way

party in germany doing? how is it different than the communist and socialist parties that are all over europe, and does it have anything to do with co-ops? >> yes. the name of the party in germany is called the die linke. "die" is "the," " and "linke" is the german word for "left." they didn't want there to be any ambibiguity ababout we ththey were comingng from, so oy basically call themselelves the left party, die linke, and it is a party thth came together out of two other parties. firirt was the left wing of the social democratic party, the old established socialist party that has been in the government, has s been the government. last leader of germany before angela merkel, the current leader,, was a man named d schroeder, and he was a member of the social democratic party in germany. the left wing under a very, very charismatic leader, which was important, a man named oskar lafontaine, withdrew from the socialist party in order--excuse me--to found this new party the die linke. the other part of the die linke is the party that used to be the dominant party in what was east germany. you know, the east ger

in 2008, liu xiaobo cocharterred a manifesto that shined a light on the communist party of china and its totalitarian abuse of power. although many brave souls signed their names and their face to that document, dr. liu's name was at the very top. for this reason, he received the nobel peace prize. and he also received charges of inciting subversion of state power and an 11-year prison sentence. it is impossible to neglect this stark irony. a man dedicated to nonviolence, imprisoned for promoting peace. motivating dr. liu's tremendous courage and self-sacrifice was a determination to remember what the people's republic of china desperately wants the world to forget -- tiananmen square. a poet, author and political scientist, dr. liu was in 1989 a visiting scholar at columbia university, but when the pro-democracy protests broke out in beijing in june of that year, he raced back to china to support them. he staged a hunger strike in tiananmen square in the midst of the historic student protests and insisted that they would remain nonviolent, even in the faces of the tanks which the ch

because it is straight out of the communist pa rty‘s playbook because it is straight out of the communist party's treatment of liu xiaobo, especially now that he is dead, is frankly mission accomplished. they've shut down conversation about him in china. if you walk into the street and ask anybody, unless they are a tap in —— cuts in person, who he is. 0n certain issues the government puts its voice and on others they stop it altogether. even now broadcasts, everything we've reported on bbc world news, mentioning liu xiaobo since his death, has gone to black. whoever sits in the centre offers. feed and the bbc screens go to black all over china, as they would be now as i'm speaking. this comes as the chinese government faces a storm of international criticism over its handling of the death of this nobel peace prize winner, especially because for years people have been calling for him to be released. they are doing nothing —— for doing nothing more than writing a pro—democracy document. liu xiaobo was the definition of human courage and dignity, a poet and intellectual who strove for a better futu
