American how it welcome russia is celebrating victory day marking 75 years since the defeat of nazi germany in world war 2 this is commemorations have been scaled back because of the coronavirus with the red square military parade and a large scale procession both postponed. Russias parade of military might took to the sky today. Moscow coronavirus precautions kept the streets nearly empty this picture a day. It had been planned to be an especially large celebration this year as russia 75 years since defeating nazi germany in world war 2. But the mass perceptions were off postponed by the pandemic. President Vladimir Putin did lead to scale down ceremony at the eternal flame war memorial. But not a word about the virus instead his speech was a rallying cry to the nation. This name if you are of the view we know and firmly believe that we did we are invincible when we stand together when i speak of us congratulations on victory a day or. A day of pride in russias past. But people here have plenty to grumble about corona virus infections are on the rise and the economy is shrinking. Presiding over a time of National Crisis hootin faces plenty of challenges ahead. Or were joined now by. Hes a professor of International Relations at Cardiff University invincible when united professor what do you make of that amir peretz message well this is a familiar message now putin was trying to build them a density. By over you know period of russian history hes trying to rescue from their history something that would speak to russian glory and this is what you know this is the this is the a particularly important in terms of the 2nd you know 2nd world war that still resonates with Many Russians and so he uses that to build all legitimacy in the legitimacy of the regime but he represents. A very sober ceremony due to the Coronavirus Crisis besides the circumstances how much does this day resonate with russians how much does that particularly resonate with younger generations. Well the russians of course are commemorating today with 19 or not we know that parades have been canceled that actually speaks to the responsibility of the government for all their local patriotic agenda they have decided not to hold for rates all the are holding fly you worse s s as as you have just seen. But the russians are still going to commemorate this occasion in the Previous Year of their homes thats because of course we know that the war touched every family every family has a story to tell about their parents or grandparents or no great grandparents who fought in the war so it is really one event in the absence of any other big theme that unites russia this is one thing that brings them together and this is you know this is something that every family understands now with regard to the young people im actually quite surprised that the message still resonates with the young people today whether this will continue Going Forward i dont know. Weve talked about and were seeing the results of the lockdown in russia but in neighboring bellaver it is a very different picture a big military parade just took place there the latest ship seems to be running a country thats marching to a very different drum to say the least well absolutely look the house has been a denier of cold with 19 and he has said today that we have no other choice but to celebrate to have a parade of course he has another choice he doesnt have to do to behave in a stupid and callous matter by parading those people out there and bringing the veterans out there is well so i think its of course very responsible. But look you know we european in europe we were used to to to this kind of behavior from belittles unfortunately. Professor gates retching thank you very much for time thank you.

Korea south koreas center for Disease Control says theres upwards of 2 dozen so far discovered there were 1500 people that had logged into those nightclubs they have yet to contact courting to sources earlier today 1300 of the people that had visited those clubs in the capital so theres a lot of work to do and its expected that the number of new cases will increase and what have advocacy groups being something frank about the trouble. Individuals could be facing at this time. Well one of the things that happened with this cluster was that some conservative religious media organizations mentioned that these clubs were frequented by q people and then other media grasped on to that story in what some people have said you know hunt for click bait to generate more views and to sensationalize this story and really advocate say we need to focus on you know preventing this outbreak and Public Health there is the concern also that with having such a poor record when its come to l g p t q people that it will force people not to come forward to get themselves tested because of the stigma that they will get in their workplace and in their homes if we go back to 2019 there was a case of a sergeant in the military discharged because of his Sexual Orientation largely and so again so through his record in terms of l g b t q people is quite you know suspect and so there are that concerns that again people wont come forward to get themselves tested and that will further you know challenge containing this new cluster franks myth and so thank you very much.
