And it will make that thread that you are placing to retrieve the body and then holding all that land planned for the 9th of may and will encourage you only in solemn do you. Agree especially it will be done in the survey showed that this year where a student came in common recently here. And there will be main parade at the red square and the procession of the merkel regiment. For more on this we go live now to our Senior Correspondent now this is a huge event here and russia how significant is this postponement. Well its the 1st time this is happened in a quarter of a century since 995. 00 that the victory day parade. Be happening that its its been postponed. Unspecified date but leading up to this speculation had been rife with regards to the pandemic what would the authorities do what they. Would they go ahead but they somehow modified the public perhaps that to keep the stands empty but how have the parade happened anyway at the end. That the risks were just too great the pandemic risks that the situation that russia has gotten worse there are now 28000 people that have been confirmed to be infected with the quote a virus more than 200 people dead and obviously the president the president ial administration the government they they had a look at the situation and they decided that but it will be better. Irregardless of the fact that how important these specific especially this. Victory day parade is the 75th anniversary of the completed nation of nazi germany to the top of that midnight on the 9th of may in 95. 00. This is the Diamond Jubilee obviously its not middleton said that its a huge event for russians of political stripes is one of the one of the rare occasions where everybody comes together regardless of political inclinations and political affiliation because so Many Russians have lost relatives of those ancestors radom others during the 2nd world will because of the huge sacrifice that the u. S. Of the Russian Federation made which is incredible incredible for you know Good Government to have to make these tough decisions but as you said that there were. The celebration perhaps. Special but all Public Events have been. May be televised events that definitely will be speeches the silence of the. Media and the russians that lost their lives fighting the. Nevertheless the event itself the main event at the march of the regiment have been related they are now. We do not know when that later date is going to be at this point in time but thats something of course were all looking forward to understanding when thats going to be and when the situation is going to calm down president putin did make the point of saying that it should be done and this here now it is hard to get across the point to an International Audience how important this day is in russia i know that for myself ive covered a couple times and being a part of that immortal what regiment and seeing the massive response in the city is really something to see how do you think the people here in russia are going to react to this announcement story as theyve theyve reacted to things like this always this is something that. Remarked on during the speech what russia the u. S. Is and its citizens food food. Was the fuel that the food for the future of the children of liberty we are now fighting as well except this time it isnt the nazis this time its a pandemic it is a pandemic that is. The biggest crisis this country has faced since the 2nd world war and. There wouldnt be any widespread outrage about them postponing this event as a matter of fact i would say the russians understand the severity of the crisis. Is empty compared to what are these. The usual a problem like this today. At home there have been penalties introduced but the idea that this is an incredibly serious situation if his it is saturated public consciousness the people understand that the you know you this is the time to mess about why and about a parade being counseled on the red square that you know people will take this as something that is commonsense that is that is veterans groups had called for this to happen i mean there had been so much speculation that this was going to happen but the authorities left it obviously to the last moment given how important this how close are these to the hearts of ordinary russians almost every russian family has a relative who died in world war 2 i mean thats thats how thats how big this event is for russians many many people in the west simply simply are incapable of understanding from a historic perspective from a personal even perspective how how close it is to russian the russian hearts but never that this year theyve taken that theyve made the decision to postpone it for the safety of citizens but they they did remark they did stress during his speech Gladney Putin said that we will commemorate and we will pay whom which to the sacrifice of those who fought and died in world war 2. 00 on the 9th of may but without the parade. Exactly and we can only assume at this point that there will be some sort of celebration on the actual day itself given president putins comments to the effect that it does still need to be remembered better and still need to be you know appreciated for their service on that day and we do know that for a while now theyve already recommended that anyone over the age of 65 stay at home here in moscow as you said that the streets in the city are quite empty at this point but i do believe that this sort of announcement just 3 weeks just over 3 weeks before the may 9th celebrations are supposed to happen having this announcement that is being postponed really will drive home for people how serious the situation is and as you mentioned earlier on wednesday russian war veterans did also call for this event to go ahead and be postponed so do you think were going to see some support from them this announcement coming from president putin. Well obviously i mean no one in their right mind would say that millions of people marching through moscow you know including the immortal regiment hundreds upon hundreds of thousands as well as as well as military units thousands of troops with with armor all of them marching through the red square in the midst of a pandemic i dont think anyone would say that that that makes any sort of sense. The public the wide the moost of them i would say that there are of course not about everybody will google take this you know as the understand why this decision was made and obviously 3 the government the government didnt want to do this this is this is why they left it soon late it wanted to see how the situation with the pandemic would develop because in the early days in march for example the confirm the number of confirmed cases infections in russia was very low and there were hopes that we would follow in the footsteps of singapore for example which was south korea which initially after a small outbreak managed to sort of control the infection and limit the spread here were seeing unfortunately an increase day after day an increase in the number of cases like me putin himself said that the peak for russia the infection hasnt been reached yet it is still to come and frankly it would have been irresponsible completely irresponsible to let the parade the immortal the immortal regiment hundreds of thousands of civilians bearing the portraits of their grandfathers and their grandmothers grandmothers who died in world war 2 march shoulder to shoulder through the red square would have made absolutely no sense from from any perspective you know putting peoples lives in danger like that when you could very well to spoon the event of a laser to a safer days have it that. But again as you mentioned commemorate the event on the 9th of may so pay who mage remember the sacrifice and remember what the country had to have to guth through to maintain its independence to maintain. The ability to decide its own future ive got to mention here ive got to mention again how important the victory day parade festivities. For russians this is one of the few times where they couldnt regardless of political affiliation come together under a common bond and it is a joyous event it is a joyous event there are sober woods sober memories but it is a joyous event it is a celebration of their courage it is a celebration of the sacrifice what what has this have to guth route to make sure that we were free we were independent and still happen it will still happen but for now it will happen inside peoples home. Rod right now were showing pictures on the screens of the celebration from last year i know that you yourself have found yourself on red square just you know in the area during this parade can you tell us a little bit of how that feels you were talking about how theres so much respect and celebration and yes somber but theres a bit of a hard balance there that is found can you tell us a little bit of what its like being at the center of this celebration in the russian capital. Its overwhelming honestly its overwhelming perhaps ive had a privileged position during pos parades i was one of the towers one of the kremlin towers overlooking the red square for a number of years now and it is it is indescribable specially when the jets and the planes rue overhead just a few 100 meters above the red square and we up on the tower closest to it and it is honestly. The 1st half of the president s speech and then you have the the march the march by military units that the military vehicles parade over the best in the league of russias military hardware rolling down the red square as a symbol a symbol that the country if you know the government has anything to do with it the country will never ever have to go what it went through during the 2nd world war it will never have to make the sacrifice that it made fighting nazi germany that it made during world war 2 and it is about reassuring russian citizens russian people that you know we are now prepared whatever happens in the future if we are prepared and we will repel any invade that is at 1st at 1st that is something that completely swamps you the sheer magnitude last years parade was the largest by the way terms of military vehicles in terms of personnel involved and a new well meaning feeling of how ground use it its out how grabbing the entire affair is but that is in the sheen the next part is the much of the immortal regiment which is attracted hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people more every year for the past several years has. A massive vent where relatives noted you dont have to be a relative to pick up a post somebody. Perhaps from your family perhaps somebody that the you knew that your. Mother your relatives your friends do you do much with this is from the bible and that is to symbolize the sacrifices that those people made during. To protecting their country the sacrifice is a reporter lives and that they will be remembered forever that the current generation is marching through the red square shoulder to shoulder civilians of all ages veterans they remember and that they will continue to remember the sacrifices that the country may.

Fine art market which i think is a great market to give an indication of where prices are whether heading the fact that fine art of Something Big is another option hausers has gone up dramatically over the past 10 or 1520 years spectacularly so its not reflected in the price of bread and sold it and now its starting to be that way so that inflation that we saw in the High End Products is down going to end up being in the staples like wheat bread the food chicken i just saw somebody post a image of a chicken for sale somewhere that price was 100 percent.

A warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teacher in moscow thanks for joining us for your live news update this hour and we start with breaking news as a lot of reporting has postponed. 75th victory day parade on the 9th of may as well as other mass events to honor the victory over the nazi regime thats due to the high risk still posed by the court. This is what the president had to say. Were now facing a tough choice the 9th of may is a special day for us but the life of every Single Person is priceless to hold the parade on the 9th of may we need to start rehearsals now but the risks posed by the epidemic as well as its peak which we have post yet still high thats why i cannot stop the rehearsals for the parade and of the public gatherings therefore i would change the postpone the rehearsal for the military march on red square and postpone all of the Mass Gatherings to celebrate 75 years since the great victory. To break down the significance of this announcement we cross live to our Senior Correspondent rod gusto of what will happen now after the parade was postponed. Well its been postponed to a later date that it hasnt been counseled and speculation had been right from the in the weeks leading up to this many people had been wondering you know when they would make the decision to go ahead with the parade or to postpone it to cancel it you know to make sure it doesnt happen such a but such a public gathering doesnt happen in the middle of a pandemic and obviously this this is a very difficult choice for the government for blasphemy of putin because of how how important the victory day parade celebrations on the 9th of may for russians. Political stripes and colors will appreciations this is the day when russia comes together to commemorate the sacrifice the 10s of millions of people that died during world war 2 died stopping germany and nazi germany actually inside its capitulation to the allies on the 9th of may in 1985 at midnight so you could understand how how how how high profile this decision was how critical this decision was for the government and obviously make said. Absolutely anyone would be able to understand why they have done this you cant very well have hundreds of thousands of civilians the immortal regiment civilians walking down the red Square Holding holding up banners portraits of their grandfathers of their grandmothers in the middle of a pandemic would be stupid to say the least there had been speculation that perhaps they would scale down certain portions of the parade perhaps. In march of the mortal regiment but have the military 3 aspect of the parade so military units military vehicles marched down the red. But obviously the risk is rising if you said the risks deprive them of the right to continue with preparations for the big 3 day parade or visually they calculated they did them out to be had a look at it from a purely human perspective humanitarian thing to do and they decided that just wasnt worth the risk it wasnt with putting peoples lives in danger but latvia putin did stress that we would pay home which to the sacrifices of our grandfathers of our grandmothers of tens of millions of russians who died due to all. The festivities will mass public gatherings events would be council so perhaps youll see something Something Else undoubtedly will see Something Else. Televised celebrations festivities but. The public ones. Well im sure all of russia will be tuned into one that does and being now something that i found quite difficult is explaining the real significance of this celebration so often people in the west see the pomp and circumstance they see the military hardware and you know the planes flying over and they dont quite understand and its very hard to explain the significance the deeper significance that each and every russian really does feel in connection to that date how do you think how important is it for russians how much significant and close to their hearts is this certain about. Tens of millions of people doug tens of millions of russians died stopping the nazi war machine move russian households lost a Family Member that didnt i mean the that a loon that example a loon to drive who how how big will dw to how huge the suffering was how enormous the sacrifice that russia paid to to keep itself free to rid itself of the nazi menace to rid the world of the nazi menace how big that was lets not forget that the vast majority of the Nazi Movement of its military power perished fighting in russia in the battle of stalingrad the battle of curse the myriad of battles that people dont even know that were absolutely enormous and that happened on the Eastern Front eisenhower himself said after the world the world will that and that in his memoirs he wrote i remember flying through western russia to moscow and he says he didnt see a single house standing from ukraine from the western side of ukraine all the way to moscow he didnt see a single house standing it was absolutely tremendous the price that russia paid had to rid itself to rid the world as i said at the nazi menace and people remember the government has made sure that the people remember with these festivities with the. Immortal regiment families remember i mean he youd be hard pressed to find a russian family that didnt have a Family Member or a relative the died in the 2nd world war i this is the this is ancestral memory this is something that will be remembered for many many. Centuries but decades decades for sure this is something that will fade from living memory the. Facts of still being felt in russia to this day demographic affects the huge shortage of men. With women outnumber with women outnumbering men soon soo much of the 2nd world war had ended and this is something that russians will never forget the sacrifice that the that ancestors. Had to make to rid the country of the nazi menace. Youre talking about there the immortal regiment which is actually become something thats branched out worldwide you see that happening in the u. S. Throughout europe as well and we can only hope that somehow that immortal regiment when its postponed when theres a new date for that here and russia that will also spread out into the wider world as well how much support do you think were going to be hearing from veterans from this decision coming down from president putin well certain veterans groups had cooled for the government to put spoon to delay to cancel the festivities the parade itself the much of the immortal regiment. Judging by the fact that they had left it so late we can presume that they had been looking at how the pandemic could russia develop because it was unclear in the early days early march late march even russia had. Been spared the worst of the number of infections confirmed infections you had been very low and there had been speculation that perhaps russia would be spared the worst of it in the future as well so perhaps we would do follow in the footsteps of singapore south korea for example which by the judged after an initial outbreak that to contain the spread. That hasnt happened we havent reached the peak yet thats like me putin said every day there are more and more confirmed infections 28000 people now confirmed to have the virus in russia or more than 200 people have died as a result of the infection and the government predicts that we will reach a plateau soon. But theres theres no telling how how long this will go on theres no telling how widespread the infection will be the final told you know theres all sorts of models and estimations but that only gets you so 5 if you look at look at the whats happened in the United States russia has taken a lot of measures moscow is empty i have you never seen it in the you know in the holidays and that of some on the weekends but this is never peed. On the weekday people in their media is staying at home the this is the economys paying the huge price and to have the parade and mass public event now in the middle of a pandemic would be it would make any sense from any point of view and im sure that if you ask the people who fought and will go to the veterans that they would say that it makes no sense to put peoples lives in danger which is just. The shape of the parade the brave itself and the festivities the march of the regiment thats about me and said will happen but then they said that when its safe what are the risks are so great so people certainly understand why this is happening and as i mentioned earlier this is this is this is a monumental event every year in russia is the 1st time its been counseled in the quarter of a century people of stripes and colors will beliefs come together to celebrate victory over nazi germany and celebrate and pay homage to the sacrifice that absence the said brad pads that when its made to keep the country independent they keep it free and to make sure that their children was safe. R. T. Senior correspondent mara goddammed breaking down this breaking news for us thank you. Now for further analysis we cross live to military historian mike jones youre very welcome to the port program may 9th is one of the most important days in russias calendar you know it often feels bigger than Christmas Eve and what does this postponement say about the gravity of the situation. Well obviously it says that syria is serious in terms of the spread of the pandemic so weve just heard. Is now spreading and president putin referred to the that is most just about this part of the comic and so is there about the risk to the public to support. The oh good leader thats her i think it would be it would be her to turn to survive mugs corrosion fighting and will do risk in the pariah so i think it reflects serious mess or part of them a producer how much russia and russia go church the law by the surviving draft terms of the great patriotic war. When the parade does go ahead and president putin did make a point of promising that it was going to happen the fear along with the mortal regiment do expect to see a scaled down version with much more limited international participation. Well its possible that it will be a scaled down i mean it it does pound on the medical situation but im i do think that i mean the important thing is that the day my is commemorated and it will be. I think its very important symbolically thats a parade happened later on and im sure it will and in the west sometimes the fixation just on the military hardware this is what the parade is all about well it is a military parade but its much more. And its about. Its about. Remembering the sacrifice of our terms. Now donald trump was originally planning to attend this years may 9th prayed in moscow but he ended up having to cancel his attendance we have seen the 2 countries sort of make an effort to help one another in this situation do you expect him to come over later in the year if it is possible yes. I think hes very keen on coming over. You want tension between between russia and the United States this very important symbolic way of doing it. Now the leaders of the collective Security Treaty Organization which is russia plus 5 other ex soviet states were of course invited to attend this years parade do you expect to see them there when it does go ahead. Yes i do because. This is russias trial but its also the triumph of the soviet union. Soviet socialist republics and i think it will be very important that they all time so yes. As you were saying earlier that you are very hopeful that this will go ahead later in the year that its very significant even just the idea of it even if its just postponed so how significant do you think this is going to be for russians as well if its going to be for postponed that they will all support their hearts into it does not matter now on the date. I think it will be enormously include my lets remember it is very important that this day. Lets remember all. The symbolism is very important and. To it he of russia on the russian people and i think its most remembering that ive seen on the red graph her right im john. Ive spoken thats runs off of to write their own right on the 7th of november 9th to include you know and it would the soviet union how old a military parade with the gentleman on the left. From the capital they were monitoring every 5 minutes whether the cloud cover might break but they still went ahead it was one of the most extraordinary achievements of how to write and i would say that if russia can hold it for right with the german army let you know and then those voters rather and went out and push the job and ill be back thank and do just about anything and the people of russia will be completely behind them when weve been waiting for this announcement more or less for a few days now and in the meantime there have been rumors abound of how they would be able to maybe scale back the audience or do this parade without the veteran sense its already been quite a while that people age 65 or older have been told to stay at home here in russia but that just wouldnt be the same event when it. No i wouldnt one of the most moving things i mean to talk about the whole day because there could thats the parade on the red square up and then i walk through it and then the off the noon thats sure and im f. Im going to go to the museum of the great. God awful on you hill and its quite wonderful because so many russian people come and join them and pay tribute to them and one sees incheon family as ive seen with a veteran in his children his great grandchildren and his great great grandchildren needs a veterans does live at Solyndra Christmas in belen hung boyfriend thats right and then you see the whole extended family so its enormously important and im sure the whole russian people will be behind him. Well and of course one of the most spectacular most moving parts of the day is the immortal regiment when you see literally tens of thousands of people making their way through the streets of Moscow Holding up signs holding up pictures of people who were lost during a war and ever since 2012 countries around the world have taken part in that moral regiment honoring their relatives who fought in the war do you think that those will still happen later in this year as well yes i do. Believe it will be international because its not a norm is the important part is to where people pay their respects so this is the route sacrifice. When we. Say things like 27000000 its a huge number and its impossible its just. So when we have the immortal regimen and we make that sacrifice perth im not so enormously important i mean smash movie so i mentioned its about is a reminder that it was a column of the law and it was about the soviet Union Britain i mean United States of america together we think its a clash of so brutally really important and i think you will go ahead in search of being a military historian can you tell us is there any sort of event that really can be compared to the grand jury that is may 9th especially given that you said that youve been in attendance yourself. No its. You know ive been to many of this is absolutely exceptional because. Without a shadow of a doubt the right of the russian people and the soviet people who broke the back of a nazi war machine understand what their sacrifice lets be achievement is just honest and. Dignity for quiet mode. So its quite you very very special and i think time for. Both america and the west to exceptional. To. Move in 1000 has claimed over 135000 lives worldwide there have been numerous pandemics of course over the course of history with far greater loss of life and yet weve never seen a Global Action on this kind of scale do you think is different this time and what do you make of the response that have been taken. Well it is different in the sun. We have them a much more Sophisticated Media so news travels fast and were much more where. I am there is of course and element of fear and not that weve got huge technological changes in which we are able to save lives. And im reminded of something that during the great patriotic war it wasnt just the bravery of russian soldiers on the frontline but it was the exceptional magical the germans as they were losing a 944 trying to infect russian soldiers and civilians with time for us and this was cult the Russian Medical Service had developed a vaccine and they prevented the loss of thousands and thousands and thousands of lives. Russia and the world can take. Scientific a medical and i think because of this we are understandably anxious to limit the loss of.
