stalin and knew all the things that he had done. why did he think that. why was there an effort at rapprochement. you're saying after the war. yeah. yes. he knew. and actually both roosevelt and really that the promises stalin had made at yalta in february of 45. right. they were promises and. they realized that in in march and then, of course, roosevelt is dead in april. but he churchill and again, possibly in in not his greatest moment thought that he could influence what what stalin was doing, what he might do, what would happen. he was he was frightened by the hydrogen. churchill was. okay. and of course, you had the atomic bomb and then the hydrogen was much more powerful, right? and churchill was very aware of that, so that his time, his second term, as minister in the international realm, he is trying trying as hard as he can to reduce those tensions and quite frankly, you know, i said the other that if you had a way of measuring self comfort winston, churchill would have been off the charts. he he thought that he could pull rabbits out of non-exis

in other words, the soviet with stalin gone with stalinism. and by the way, today stalinism is back strong, very much back strong. so so watch for that. that this was a diplomatic initiative that was worth taking. and i think that proved to be an important first step. and in creating what i mentioned earlier, that regime by which countries could function without going to war. and i think it we had another crisis, of course, with with cuba several years later, the cuban missile crisis, which then reinforced that cultural educational exchanges weren't enough. you had to have a hotline put in, and also you have to have negotiations on nuclear testing that eventually led to nuclear disarmament talks. and so, i mean, that was a process that had to begin small and then grossed up by step as opportunities arose. i was a student in germany in 64, 65, and then periodic for the next 30 some years and the boy was very important they knew it because they tried to jam it. we could hardly hear it. even in west germany, the jamming was so, but it was not onl

lenin was an enthusiastic terrorist, and of course, stalin took it to a much wider. but then he had more power he had more people he could kill. ambassador, professor, thank you for everything you've done. and you talk about i to leap into two things you mentioned voracious reading and you just replication. so focus in particular on hitler. i'd like to know what your thoughts are on what hitler hitler replicates learn about for united states in india as it relates to the slave trade and slavery in the united states. well hitler didn't pay much attention to the united states. he certainly believed in hierarchy. he didn't think much about africans or african-americans. he never any contact with them. but he certainly believed that the germans were the master and had the right to govern all europe. he believed that slaves were lesser people. interestingly, the people for whom he had the greatest were the british, and he i think regarded what planned to do and did for a few terrible years in europe as being comparable to britain's overseas empire in india. but he was muc

and his view of stalin was very negative.ause he had ruled for 29 years, he was a legend, if you spoke one word against stalin you could be killed. and what khrushchev did was in this one speech destroyed the myth, the legend, the fears that surrounded the russian people when they thought about stalin. khrushchev called stalin a murderer because of what he did during world war ii. he would point out the thousands and thousands of people during the 1930's that stalin sent off to siberia. and khrushchev wanted a different kind of russia. a different russia and he began to release people from siberia, he loosened opportunities to write and to speak and he opened the gates of the kremlin to an influx of western businessmen and scholars and journalists. it was in that opening that i slipped through and a lot of other reporters slipped through. it was an incredibly exciting time. and when i returned to 1959 to cover richard nixon's visit, it was also a stark debate with khrushchev at that time. some people don't member that. it was

who can forget the failed roll-out of dr stalin? dr stalin. [laughter] dr stalin.n declared it was the first-ever presidential commemorative diet coke bottle. which is technically true. because while "the coca-cola company has a tradition of creating commemorative coca-cola bottles in celebration of u.s. presidential inaugurations dating back to 2005," all those were regular coke. there's nothing more flattering than someone announcing, "hey, you! yeah, no, just you. you! go on a diet." yeah! you with the face, you. well, you know what? that is it. if diet coke is cozying up to an authoritarian administration, i am never drinking diet coke again.

we are back to the gestapo and hitler and and stalin and mussolini and the hysteria, and never stops. no wonder why the state run media mob is losing audience day by day. they don't tell people the truth and the predictable comparisons to hitler and stalin, it's on again and again. this is all they know. they don't know about truth, they don't -- they call themselves journalists, they are not. they learned nothing from november. they are not listening to the american people. they are doubling down on dummy, dumber and stupid. it's not just the media. you have uninformed hollywood celebrities also weighing in. we saw selena gomez posting a video sobbing uncontrollably about donald trump rounding up violent criminal illegal aliens. let me ask, where were those 2 years rachel morin, mother of 5, laken riley, what about the hundreds of thousands of missing children, over 350,000. what about the hundreds or thousands of dead americans, young people, from fentanyl and opioids being traffic over our southern border. what about the thousands of americans murdered and and victims of other viol

it seems to carry no weight with power shall saturdays lies about equal guilds between hitler and stalin are actively promoted by the west. conveniently overlooking the indisputable facts, the most european countries except to yugoslavia health with headless genocide of soviet people, the poland particularly excels in the field diverse, a phobia. for example, polish authorities skilfully present the car to investigate was something more risk than the nazi atrocities that claimed the lives of millions of those still close. uh, spurlock. i mean get them measured. even though still good though, i should set or speak to release, which can natalie mary spoke with a young schedule store, especially numerous of my photos here on broke or picture new. do spell it as a deluxe one? yeah. uh well pro sir. before to continue the february 1st for 3, i should certainly yes. yes. lucia. yes, you're comfortable as much in the process, you mean? yeah. and you have to smell when you need it is just real quick. you know with the community splitting it. yeah. it's new. you do, yeah. can you send, you know,

and his view of stalin was very, very negative. but because he had ruled for 29 years, he was a legend. if you spoke one word against stalin you could be killed. and what khrushchev did was, in this one speech, destroyed the myth, the legend, the fears that surrounded the russian people when they thought about stalin. khrushchev called stalin a murderer because of what he did during world war ii. he would point out the thousands and thousands of people during the 1930s that stalin sent out to siberia or straightaway murdered. and khrushchev wanted a different kind of russia, a different russia. and he began to release people from siberia. he listened opportunities to write in to speak, and he opened the gates of the kremlin to an influx of western businessmen and scholars and journalists. it was in that opening that i slipped through, and a lot of other reporters slipped through your and it was an incredibly exciting time. and when i returned in 1959, to cover richard nixon's visit, is also historic kitchen debate with khrushchev a

it is like stalin bosz time.lin double time. this election is for alexander lukashenko, not for our country, what we demand is free and fair elections under the observation of an independent. these early live pictures of a news conference that alexander lukashenko has been holding out for about three hours, russia editor steve rosenberg is on the news conference and will report later after it finishes. stay with us for the latest here on bbc news, much more on the bbc news website or app. whilst it's been a cold and frosty start in the north, with a little bit of ice and a few wintry showers, it's already turning wet and windy across the south and west of the uk with the next storm upon us, and it's likely to be a sustained period of disruptive winds and heavy rain. so there are numerous warnings in force tied in with storm herminia, and it is likely to last throughout the rest of sunday and into monday as well. look at the tightly packed isobars. it's a large storm. spells of rain will run through around that lo

hitler, stalin, mussolini, fascist, racist, not see. this is what the democrats and the state run legacy media mob have become. this is who they have been for ten years. just take a look at how they conducted themselves during rfk's confirmation hearing from earlier today. >> there is no issue that should unite us more than this health epidemic. there's no such thing as republican or democratic children. these are our kids. 66% of them are damaged. i don't think anybody is going to be able to do this like i am because of my peculiar experience, because i've litigated against these agencies. you get a phd in corporate capture and how to unravel it. i've written six books about these agencies. i know a lot about them and i know how to fix it and there's nobody who will fix it the way that i do because i'm not scared i don't care. >> sean: he did an amazing job on capitol hill like all the other cabinet officials that went before the u.s. senate. they are just angry. despite spending more money on health care than any other country, the ov

>> this is the worst instance of stalinism in my sixty-year career. know, stalin was told, sho he me the man and i'll find you the crime. and so laetitia james, the democratic attorney-general, and alvin bragg, the democratic da, tried to find a crime to convict trump of but they couldn't. they couldn't find a crime. they searched the books. they couldn't find a crime. so they made one up, a totally made-up case. if they can make up a case against donald trump, they can make it up against you too. and now they're trying to avoid him getting an appeal. one way was not sentencing him. now they're going to sentence him. this is another possibility. the governor may pardon him. if the governor pardons him, then he still has the stigma of a conviction and there's a question about whether he can appeal if he's been pardoned. they're looking at every possible way of avoiding an appellate reversal because any decent appellate court will reverse this conviction for a dozen different reasons. one, there was no crime. two, there was a [ indiscernible ] three, er

- i hope that you have heard about stalin's time repressions. this is what belarus looks like at the moment. it's the country where you are voiceless. this is the country with constant repressions. this is the country where you feel constant fear. but despite living in gulag, i'm so proud of belarusians that our nation is not giving up. people woke up in 2020. and for four years in a row, already, despite what lukashenko is doing to the country, people every day overcoming their fear and do small acts of sabotage. people continue to communicate. people continue to read alternative news, knowing that they might be detained for this and sentenced to 5, 10, 15 years. so this is our reality. - what is the backstory, give us, about how the two of you met, and finally, you decided to become a subject of a theatrical performance. how did this happen? and how did you become an actor? (interviewees and audience laughing) - do we want a real story? (laughs) - do you want it from the very beginning? well, we get drunk. (all laughing) - but was it vodka or

so we wanted language and that it shall not protect criminals stalin's eventually after a 45 minute private meeting, democrats return to the assembly floor and opted to postpone the vote on newsom's to special session trump related bills and we are adjourned upon leaving the assembly chamber know democrats agreed to explain on camera why they delayed the vote on the bills. >> but they did hand out this statement indicating the vote r president trump's attempts to free certain federal government spending. >> quote, the actions by republicans in washington this week jeopardize the programs and services. californians rely on most from health care to school funding in the assembly. we are going to look closely at the special session, legal defense bills to in short. they are air tight and protect all californians. republicans, though not buying it from the beginning. this was a political stunt by gavin newsom. hey, we're going to trump proved california. that's what this whole thing has been about. >> and for this whole time or we've been saying as republicans to say, stop this politics, let's

skanderbeg square, for example, once home to statues of enver hoxha and joseph stalin, has now had the monuments torn down and the square remade as part of one of the largest pedestrianised zones in the balkans. people couldn't travel abroad, they weren't allowed to drive cars, and they were banned from going into certain parts of the capital city. during communist times, albania became the first country in the world to totally ban religion, leading to countless mosques and churches being closed. but now they've reopened and are thriving again. to find out a little more about albania's transformation, i'm meeting up with eni koco... hello! ..who grew up under hoxha. pleasure to meet you. so why did you want to meet right here? because we are standing right in front of the house where our dictator, enver hoxha, spent most of his lifetime. so did hoxha run the country from this house? we can say yes. together with his mates. we had all the government leaders living here and all the party leaders. we were not allowed to walk in this area. it was totally closed. so in 1990, when we started

actually, people live like in stalin's time era.ation of elections is only for lukashenko. it's not for our country. it's not change of policy. what we demand is free and fair elections and the observation of our democratic partners. so i ask people to prepare their energy, you know, they determine us to a real moment of opportunity that might be connected with vitro of ukraine or some economic issues, or, i don't know, problems with health of lukashenka, like nobody knows. but there might be many scenarios, but not now. i don't want people to be in prison for no reasons. if you look up at the sky you could be in for a treat. six of the planets in our solar system have lined up, in what is sometimes called a �*planetary parade'. after sunset, venus, jupiter and saturn and mars will be visible in an arc—like formation — and can seen with the naked eye. uranus and neptune will also be part of the line—up, but you'll need a telescope to spot them. in tennis, and the men's world number one jannik sinner has retained his australian open
