at the 20th congress of the communist party of the soviet union, nikita khrushchev delivered what became known as the secret speech in which he denounced darling's rule of terror. he also condemned, stolen cult of personality and paved the way for the release of former p o. w, who had been imprisoned will send to work battalions made by one and a half 1000000 veterans had their pensions and benefits restored, revoked by stolen 10 years earlier. the text of the secret speech with soon leaked translated and circulated widely. this helped raise hopes for political reforms in the soviet bloc, and a thor in the cold war. on june 28th, no 1956, an uprising broke out in poland. it soon in spite hungarian protesters who demanded independence and democracy khrushchev and ju cough sent in the red army to crush the revolution. ah. on november 4th, 1956, thousands of soviet tanks rolled into budapest. marshals you coves orders what brutal disband the rabble and disarm the counter revolutionaries. if we depart from hungary khrushchev explained, he will be a boost to the americans, the british, and fr

story of how i bought it, where i bought it , at which session of the supreme soviet or congress of the trade union of agricultural workers. i bought it. well, because it was dear friends. it was a deficit and it was possible, yes, yes, and i have a lot of friends in the sketch trade, with whom we have been friends for a decade. the library is the library of the post-soviet space. when it was already much easier, when the publishers with whom i was friends all gave me a lot of books, many books are becoming simpler. i don't even remember how i got them. and the third library is the library, the most unloved is the library of books, which i did not read until i read the book, i do not put it in another library. this library. i don’t like it, because a sober person understands that in my life there won’t be enough for this library. then i can't stop hurting. then i propose, then i really love one poll. it was held about 10 years ago by one magazine, and there were key ones, as was said. uh, figures of russian literature about books, these were writers, well, in front of me just readers. here is the r

union. it's with the indian national congress and all that there was.ite, the ruling party in calcutta, there were communists and so on. when later , so to speak, the soviet disintegrated, and no matter how strange or vice versa, naturally, relations with india were nevertheless preserved. they never stopped walking from our estates. somehow, gradually, all this began to shift, on the one hand, towards these conservative forces, and on the other hand. and how would these conservative forces themselves begin to take more and more decisive position, but at the same time. it i remember well, like india. this is me, well, i know the middle one, but i know, and at the same time, more and more attitudes and indians towards us became, but by no means the relationship of a younger brother to an older one. they grew up terribly nice it was on the street in the business of others. the city to see huge crowds of schoolgirls in uniform, so to speak, rejoicing in the fact that they have an open social perspective. they began to get more and more space in the process

sixteen, biden boast about being the most pro- union president ever yes and that is the problem. he is bypassing congress introduce antiworker rules. number 17 public sector union specifically with public school system obsessed with indoctrination is a disaster for equal opportunity and social mobility. perpetuate systemic racism but biden backs it. number 18 biden promised to unite the country to end this uncivil war. he did the exact opposite demonizing americans who disagree with him he cannot have four more years of biden's intolerance divisiveness and hate. number 19, america is built on the idea of decentralized power this is the most centralizing in our history control everything from washington d.c., we have to reverse the destructive madness not make it worse. twenty, this administration is a chaotic mess of immature and incompetence. their mishandling the pandemic more people died under trumpet even though they have vaccines and treatments surrendered to the taliban killed 13 of our service members, hundreds of afghans. thousands stranded, millions now starving. america's reputation destroyed a

and also very important i think is the union movement itself in the 1930s. the, the congress of industrial organizations, which is the union federation that was formed in the 1930s out of the older american federation of labor labor, is dedicated on the first to signing up members regardless of race. party for practical reasons, because autoworkers, still, workers meatpacking workers, longshoremen, tobacco pickers, are both black and white. and if you [inaudible] are next on the, like the [inaudible] but also they believe in. it you know, partly because of the background of organizing the last, i think the, might the racial effort. and so, as the cio goals and labor as a whole crew topples its membership from 1933 through 1940, five through 50 million members. it puts pressure on the democrats to accept black people not just as, well they're voting for you because maybe the get jobs, and [inaudible] industry, but to argue that racism is wrong. it's a legacy of the democratic party in terms of race should be abandoned. >> so -- >> this part of the 1960s. >> woodrow wilson was

congress here in the u. s. and they're the european union, they have been cracking down on social media platforms, most notably facebook and the responsibility that these platforms have for the content that they host. and that criticism actually prompt the twitter in recent years to in to more content moderation and moderate the type of speech that was allowed. that's what we saw, the former president donald trump ban from twitter. so if you must, once to open those gates again, he could run into trouble and we know that he prefers a more hands off approach to regulation, to put it mildly so we could be in for some big conflicts. there be a send me some kinda what the latest and surely much more to come thanks very reporting from washington, and we'll have more on ellen musk buying twitter later in the business news with christy flotsam. now let's turn over to the latest developments in the war in ukraine, keys, military commanders say russia has tried to disrupt the flow of weapons into ukraine from allies abroad. with a series of coordinated missile strikes on railway stations. at least 5 people have been re

congress here in the u . s. and they're the european union, they have been cracking down on social media platforms, most notably facebook and the responsibility that these platforms have for the content that they host. and that criticism actually prompt a twitter in recent years to it's 2 more content moderation and, and moderate the type of speech that was allowed. that's what we saw, the former president donald trump banned from twitter. so if he'll a muscle wants to open those gates again, he could run into trouble, and we know that he prefers a more hands off approach to regulation, to put it mildly so we could be in for some big conflicts. there. that was, you have your correspondence to me, some misconduct reporting from washington, and we will have more. i'm ellen musket buying twitter later in the business news with christy plot a chair over now to the latest developments in the warn ukraine. russia has launched a string of attacks against railway stations and fuel installations deep inside the country. it comes after russia's foreign minister said that weapons supplied by western nations could be a quo

of course racial lines and so forth and also very important i think is the union movement itself in the 1930s the cio the congress industrial organizations, which was the union federation this formed in the mid 1930s out of the older america federation of labor is dedicated from the first to signing up members regardless of race. part for practical reasons because auto workers still workers me packing workers. longshoremen. tobacco pickers are both black and white and if you only snap the whites, you're the population can break strikes, you know, and but also they believe in it, you know partly because they're background of a lot of organizers in the left. i think the multi-racial left so and as the cio grows and labor as a whole quintuples this membership from 1933 and 1945 and 3 million to 50 million members it puts pressure on the democrats to accept a black people not just as well. they're voting for you because maybe they get jobs and new deal agency, but to to argue that that racism is wrong and that the legacy of the democratic party in terms of race should be abandoned so that because for the 1960s yeah w

father, thomas d'alesandro, served as a member of congress, and president franklin roosevelt delivered a bold and historic request. in his 1941 state of the union address, president roosevelt explained that democracy itself, democracy itself was under direct -- was under dire threat, not only in europe but around the world. and he called on congress to lend a hand to our allies over seas, bolstering their defenses so they can defeat the evils of fascism. it was this initiative that would be enacted just two months later, then undeniably turned the tide of the second world war, and the lend-lease program would help propel the allies to a victory that preserved the promise of democracy for generations to come. . we see that today as a tyrant seeks to conquer its neighbor. at this moment and this moment we summon our commitment response, a commitment to respond. the ukraine democracy defense lend-lease act of 2022 revives this program waving time requirementments to send critical resources to ukraine. important to know it's about time. time is very important when lives are at stake. in doing so the administration will move faster to bolster the fo

president of ukraine the opportunity to arrange video conferences with the us congress with the british parliament with the european union not only increase his status as a leader, but also lead to billions in military aid dollars, which goes to the ukrainian army and help to kill russian soldiers. thus the military necessity to destroy communications is indisputable, but the russians did not. why because the russians do not see such a war for themselves, as we saw it against iraq, the russians see it. it 's like a special military operation, many scoff at this wording, but this is not a war. if it was a war, ukraine would not have existed for a long time, they would have wiped it off the face of the earth. without a trace, unfortunately , events lead to this, because the ukrainians decided defend in living quarters where if you start bombing innocents will die, but russia's initial approach was a soft approach. they didn't use their military doctrine of using superior firepower when the artillery leveled and then the tanks moved in and ironed everything. they didn't do that. they sent lightly armed detachments that trie

of the party vladimir zhirinovsky and vladimir bogachev at the founding congress of the liberal democratic party of the soviet union. uh, what's the difference say in your program from the program from the platform? the cpsu is fundamentally different in principle, yes, and business-like we are against the fact that in the country in a society of domination some one ideology and in general, for ideology to be the dominant factor in the field of the economy. we are for the market, only it has no attributes of the socialist market or planned, regulated for the free market that exists throughout the world. we're just standing next to the table where people join the liberal democratic party. uh, how to get into this the party needs some recommendations or what? what is the mechanism in this another difference ? yes, there is a printed level newspaper speech the first issue comes out in the coming days you plan. to take part in the next parliamentary elections already as a full-fledged party is necessarily the most active and we hope to have factions in all levels of the legislative bodies in the country in no case will

we are working hard with all the countries of the european union to convince you that this will happen. well, if talk about how the world congress of ukrainians can help spread realistic information about what is happening, because we know that the russian state spends crazy money on propaganda, and this propaganda is nowhere true, children. the international community affects us, it affects many people in the united states, canada, european countries, the fact that there are letters from intellectuals, like in germany, demanding not to supply weapons to ukraine. this is a great proof of how this propaganda works, and we see it even in countries like canada where it is said that we should not arm the so-called nazi battalions, there is a lot of propaganda against the azov battalion, and it is very important that we, as speedy ukrainians, speak about this truth and it is important also that we, e-e format e to such things as ours, join ukraine and even ukraine where this is a charitable initiative where we will collect funds for the purchase of non-lethal weapons for the defenders of ukraine and it is possible for people to feel

he is the amazon labor union, lead organizer and co founder of the congress of essential workers. he joins us from new york. thank you for speaking to the program. this is a watershed moment of amazon, isn't it? as a company, it's managed to keep unions as if it's us operations for more than a quarter of a century until now is so it goes back to c, c o w and chris got fired 1st time. we let them walk out just to make a change and started facility. as you see again, if i chris retaliation is his asthma and articulate. you know, we kind of turn me derek in general. i, you know, do me sort of protests and across the united states and then other workers know that this is not our facility. it's everywhere else besides the u. s. in the foreign world. so you know, it was time to bring it home. so i had to last year start over april and may be ferndale, you to get a unionization side, amazon j k j k was able to log in. it was on the bill 3 years ago. so this is probably one of the fastest immunizations in the united states. and, you know, this is one of the largest companies on the east co

. >> reporter: in response a russian aggression, congress agreed to suspend trade with russia and ban imports. the european union will face up coal, wood, and other products. the general assembly suspended russia from its human rights council. >> it is for international peace and security. >> reporter: president biden said the u.s. is working to further isolate russia. >> reporter: the president signed two bills today. they were signed into law in washington. one prohibiting the importing of energy products from russia and also another one that suspends normal trade with the u.s. and russia and the u.s. and belarus. >> sanctions are nothing new at this point, deborah. the war seems to be escalating but all this brutality. a lot of people are wondering what role i sanctions playing here. >> reporter: it is a great question and asked today at the white house briefing. it is for three reasons. the objective is to be on the record and the right side of history. it was the cripple the russian economy and to really put a crimp in the efforts of vladimir putin's paying for this very costly and deadly war. >> thank you

and now, in the congress of the united states and the parliament of the european union, they are shoutingbandera's lie at the top of their voices glory to ukraine glory to ukraine say it is possible so that after the second world war today's europe will flourish ordinary racism. look what the italian says past the russian wife blocked the account without warning just because my wife is russian. open your eyes. wake up. do not believe what europe says is necessary and they continue to arm ukraine and give it money of 110 million euros. here is a sign forbidding entry to russians in france and here are the russians in paris and france who have to behave with restraint in the building of the russian cultural center they threw a molotov cocktail on the poster of the rachmaninov conservatory appeared graffiti about russian restaurant owners receiving threats. even if it’s not connected with russia, a cute restaurant near stuttgart is good for everyone, but the owner, apparently, decided to play hitler on the institution’s website, such a warning appeared visitors with a russian passport in our

and it state of the union speech onsident biden called congress too increase the federl minimum wage to $1515 an hour. that is a step forward. we should go further. the federal minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 an hour for 13 years. 13rd years. and if the minimum wage had increased at the rate of productivity since 1968, it would not be $7.25 an hour, it would be $23 an hour. so time is now for congress to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. today in america we have more income and wealth inequality than we have had in 100 years. i understand we don't talk about it. i understand that corporate media doesn't talk about it but that is the reality. today in our country the two wealthiest people now own more wealth than the bottom 42% of our population, 130 million americans. two people, 130 million americans. anybody think that that is what america is supposed to be about? i don't think so. during this terrible pandemic, which within a few weeks will claim 1 million american lives, when thousands of essential workers died doing their jobs, over 700 billionaires in america became

the french president, emmanuel macron, calling on the european union to consider sanctions on russian coal and oil. kumasi: congress reached a deal to provide $10 million in additional funding to fight covid-19 half of the money will go toward developing treatments. the package does not include any global aid. the united kingdom is dealing with a new variant, a combination of omicron and ba.2. the entire city of shanghai china is on lockdown as all 25 million of its residents are undergoing covid testing good the city dealing with a record number of daily cases including within 9000 cases on sunday. the cdc will undergo a sweeping review and evaluation starting next week. the director says it will focus on how they can better deliver signs and programs to the public, to modernize symptoms and processes for the future of public health. it comes at the agency was criticized for how it handled the pandemic. reggie: former president obama returns to the white house. he is joining them for the affordable care act and medicaid. it is his perfect public appearance since he left the white house. president biden will announ

sanctions is already being prepared, how bills will be prepared in congress to take away money, and the decision of the european unioneady been prepared. yes, but i'll say it again. eh, stressed the chinese are not afraid. they have finn's famous statement that we are the most important thing for us - this is the fate of our motherland yes, we will never taste the bitter fruits of blackmail we than to pursue our line and i am sure that this will be the case, but they will, of course, take into account the subtleties of politics at different theaters there in europe and in asia there with australia with india with us. all this is calculated, but the strategic line is november-december of this year. the twentieth congress of the party sits dolphins is approved for the third term, a new five-year plan of victories begins, we are moving forward, and the west is absolutely clear. america is leading a clear line on the final division of the world. they can't control the whole world, so they decided to divide the world into a manageable half, and yes, and everything that remains, borders have already been drawn. here they a

the second world war precisely for the supply of weapons by the union to the troops of the united states in europe, and now the congresscalling for a similar initiative in order to speed up the provision and increase the provision of weapons, e.e., american weapons to ukraine, we know that right now the pace of arms deliveries that are at the moment and also the announcement of new packages have practically already created the conditions for an uninterrupted supply of weapons to ukraine, or at least very fast, but this bill aims to speed it up even more and essentially and eliminate all bureaucratic obstacles that may stand in the way of providing military equipment from the united states to ukraine, our colleague katya lisunova spoke with congressman brian fitpatrick and asked him to explain exactly what the importance of this bill is. let's listen to what the golden letter contract said. the concept of lend-lease was first used during the second world war to defeat nazi germany. it was considered a very effective tool, in fact, lend-lease eliminates bureaucratic red tape and it gives the president and his administrat

very important is the union movement in the 1930s. the cio, the congress of industrial organizations, the federation formed out of the older american federation of labor, is dedicated to signing up members regardless of race. for practical reasons because autoworkers, steelworkers, meat packing workers, longshoremen, tobacco pickers are both black and white. and if you only take the whites, the black people can strike. they believe in it partly because of their back ground of organizing the left, i think, the multiracial left. and as the cio grows and labor as a whole quintuples its membership, it puts pressure on the democrats to accept black people not just as well. they're voting for you because they get jobs but to argue that racism is wrong and the legacy of the democratic party in terms of race should be abandoned. >> woodrow wilson was a progressive. so was teddy roosevelt. woodrow wilson was also a little white supremacist. it's not unfair to call him that. >> his father was a confederate minister. >> he was a racist. he did not hide that. franklin
