a town called bu the town is in eastern europe. the first reason to choose that town is that it was representative of hundreds of such towns over eastern europe from the baltics to the balkans in which there was a mixed population of jews, poles, ukrainians, russians, lithuanians, latvians, and so forth. for ach people had lived very long time side-by-side and which everything changed during the will to -- changed during world war ii. it was also the area in which most jews lived before the war and where most jews were murdered during the war. chooses reasonable to one town, but why this town? i knew something about that town. most of you probably don't know -- is theidual, but only hebrew language author to receive a nobel prize in literature in 1966. he is an amazing writer. i am rereading one of his novels now. czacz. born in bu in that town and as a microcosm of the eastern european jury that was destroyed -- jewry that was destroyed. we studied him in high school, so i thought maybe i wanted to know something about that town.

actually as a result of their victory over hitler, created a different kind of oppression in eastern europe. churchill felt it particularly over the issue of poland because britain had gone to war officially because of germany's invasion of poland. polish soldiers had fought with great courage in battles all over europe, north africa, perhaps some of you have been to casino, monte cassino. if you look at the rebuild abbeys, i can still see it very clearly, rows of white crosses for polish soldiers who died in italy to keep their country free or make their country free again. many poles have never forgiven churchill and roosevelt. they blame them for, if you like, surrendering their country. churchill felt this deeply. it was not clear there was anything more you could do. the red army was already in occupation. these are the hard choices i think about diplomatic life. i think if i were in a similar position, i would have tried to make a go of this relationship, but this is a judgment call. greg: in the front towards the center, please. >> professor, thank you very much. i found it a fascina

defeated the very marked -- the wehrmacht, it was inevitable the soviets would be a force in eastern europe. there are good reasons why there was no second runt until 1944. they are well documented in this museum. the challenges of building up a base in britain, of supplying it, the importance of winning the battle at the atlantic to ensure the supply line and the flow of supplies and reinforcements, and also the possibility for democratic leaders like churchill and roosevelt to engage in the kind of oversight missions that stalin was happy to authorize on the eastern front. because churchill in particular and roosevelt knew that he could not go to parliament or the congress and justify throwing away 100,000 lives just to do a diversionary attack on the french coast. there are good reasons why there was no second front until 1944 but nevertheless it did mean that the red army was going to be in a strong position in eastern europe. but yalta for churchill and roosevelt confirmed the feeling they could do business with stalin. it was a working conference. it was not just about poland. involve

rain comes in the clouds just 17 degrees in moscow but it's a very unsettled picture much of eastern europe some fairly severe thunderstorms and in particular eastern france yet again more very heavy rain it'll trails out across into we could have a civil flooding then by sunday and that system to scare away from still some showers it's a very shy pattern across the u.k. and ireland even old spain and portugal but the really heavy rain that will be across areas of germany and further to the south. 28 degrees celsius before the cloud in the rain arrives i'm beginning to improve in london and paris as you can see that time which is generally in the low twenty's. national debate on migration is a little wrong i still can't. control it and this is heartless and madness how do you define an indigenous person who they benefit isn't this more about living the difference and you and these are and who do they contain. the right to live anywhere in the world who have the right to leave their country. and get his head to head the coup coming on al-jazeera. hello again the top stories on al-jazeera ind

and the reason at the moment was a frontal system that's coming down through eastern europe things that three's company which means all temperatures in here have also come down bosco's in the thirty's and we here we've had talking about the twenty's so the change over the tape taking place and the focus of moscow has a sunny one the temperatures in the low twenty's slowly rising but you know i get the impression then you've got the change in the weather type commune here pushing all this rain further south towards the balkans and you'd be right to think that eastern europe down to the balkans is the area of wandering the thunderstorms sorry for a case of point 3 days over one day of rain and then you've got cloud at least so the rain is coming in and possibly spinning off was natural fact western europe is going to be the new place where having seen all the rain in the east and the cloud in the west western europe now warms up heat wave on the way another extreme yes extreme the weather the new normal rob thanks very much larry. still ahead here on al-jazeera how israel's political

brothels that make money from the trafficking and exploitation of the most vulnerable women from eastern europe and the global south so the question that we need to ask is. brothels not reopen because we know that brothel owners and brothel managers are part of. a global multibillion dollar system. of severe exploitation of human rights violation that do human eyes as women and contributes to severe physical psychological and other harm tena have coronavirus restrictions like closed borders have any impact on the trafficking of women and girls. well the coronavirus has has really. put a spotlight on what happens to the most vulnerable so i am in the united states we see the inequality economic racial and other inequalities that have been exacerbated by the corona virus it is exactly the same scenario for prostituted and sex trafficked women in germany where the borders are closed women are on the street. 5 and again you know if if prostitution were job like any other people would register. germany estimates that up to between 20400000 women and a few men and trans women are in prostitution only
