Despite the channel itself being exposed as a misinformation mecca. A very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our church here in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. Party marks 75 years since the liberation of warsaw from nazi germany and by soviet and polish forces the capital was brutally occupied for years thousands were deported from the warsaw ghetto to death camps its estimated that more than 5000000 poles one in every 7 citizens died in the war. I. The cities today empty and deserted the bodies of poles tortured and executed could often be seen in ditches and sewer pipes there is not a single undamaged building remaining in warsaw objects of historical and Cultural Heritage been plundered and demolished. I feel i am feeling i feel. It is with great joy as im reporting to you that today on january the 7945 joint forces of the soviet on his 1st television front and the polish 1st army have successfully completed an offensive operation with a turning movement and have liberated the city of warsaw from that sea invaders once and for all i am our troops are greeted by local police to proceed to the streets just salutes how soldiers and officers with cheers and its 1st woman great city to liberate the city from nazi occupation. Just lovely what does he was a young boy when the nazis took warsaw heres how he described life under occupation. More now im sure sure sure didnt know were getting when i was 11 years old and it came unexpectedly it started with an aerial bombardment we didnt even know that this could all be real like a bolt from the blue bombs were falling out from the sky and your family and friends were dying blood and holes were old around you so theyd stayed became worse from the 10th of january and now its a plane stopped conducting but bargains but they started dropping incendiary shells full of White Phosphorus there were 2 periods when the terror had reached its highest point during that time hanged in shock people were lying in the streets you were afraid to go outside because the cars could have come and taken anyone you were afraid to write a tram as no one knew where the germans might stop a person and take him somewhere terrible most of the members approached the rules were simple everything was prohibited and you had no rights except working for the nazis this was a time when the whole society understood particularly in warsaw that it should do everything to do as much harm a spa civil to the occupier in august 1944 the polish Resistance Movement rose up against the occupiers trying to seize the capital the warsaw uprising lasted 63 days before being put down by the nazis at least 150000 people are believed to have died as how just love lewandowski recalls that period. Time so i was sent to deliver some kind of packages i was always successful in getting through the entrance gates to the tram to miranda vote as the security guards usually failed to notice me you had to find a place between the carry so you could quickly disappear into the crowd after getting off i saw a terrible things there too many people in the streets many wheelbarrows full of dead people mostly jews assume many starving and doing children on the streets on the small ghetto square there were more than half a 1000000 jews in the ghetto people were not human beings german could walk by and punch jap shooter shot a person and people were treated like dirt as we were liberated by the soviet soldiers outside the town of flubber then i spent 2 months in the soviet hospital there i found out that the warsaw had been free due to the people who survived were very happy and stander students of the war was over. However the polish government does not celebrate the occasion limiting commemorations to 2 events organized privately in recent years poland has portrayed the soviet union as equally responsible for the war as nazi germany or assad has been crystallize for allegedly attempting to rewrite history. Recently declassified wartime documents point to a different scenario from the one presented by polish authorities. Points. The nazi occupation one of the darkest chapters in polands history nearly 6 long years of death and terror left its capital warsaw all but destroyed the occupiers and their collaborators divided the population by race millions of supposed undesirables shift off to perish in the ovens and gas chambers of the extermination camps women were raped in the streets men women and children mass occurred in pogroms only to be dumped into mass graves by the end of it all 90 percent of polish jews had been exterminated but 75 years ago on the 17th of january soviet forces liberated warsaw back then the people welcome to the soviet troops heres an account from newly declassified documents. The nazis committed astonishing and terrifying atrocities in poland evidence of human death and suffering was everywhere polish residents met soviet soldiers with happiness and joy for i was they stood in the streets greece in Red Army Troops they saluted officers and soldiers expressing gratitude for liberating the city from nazi occupation but for the citys government now the day the nazis were expelled is no longer an occasion to celebrate why while todays polish authorities dont look back with any fondness for those liberators or anything to do with moscow right now to them Vladimir Putin is a liar for daring to say poland benefited from the munich agreement which carved up czechoslovakia in 1938 giving nazi germany and warsaw the spoils the polish authorities also dont like that putin called their prewar ambassador an anti semite despite the envoys enthusiastic approval of hitlers plan to deport germanys jews to africa but of course its all really just russias plan to destroy polands great reputation a lie that is repeated a 1000 times becomes the truth as google said today were talking about an attempt to undermine confidence in poland in the eyes of the World Community and the kremlins intentions to sow Division Within the European Union and nato putin seeks to portray poland as supposedly the not quite right part of the west while these very statements are part of propaganda preparations ahead of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of auschwitz and the anniversary of the end of world war 2 could that mean israels in cahoots with russias propaganda plot to after all tell of eve didnt invite the polish president to speak at its auschwitz liberation ceremony hes decided to boycott the whole event in protest especially since Vladimir Putin is on the list of honored speakers it turns out that the president s of russia. Germany and france whose countries collaborated with nazi germany will speak but the organizers did not agree to a speech by the president of poland the ability to speak in regards to this matter is against the interests of the polish republic ok so poland doesnt want to rub shoulders with those abroad who dont support its historical narrative but at home the law gets tough if youre not on the same page. Anyone who publicly and contrary to the facts denies crimes referred to in article one shall be subject to find all the penalty of imprisonment of up to 3 years the sentence shall be made public except the law only mentions the crimes of the nazis twice most of the text is reserved for describing the actions of the countrys liberators for poland its not so much a question about who the good or bad guys were now its a mission to blur the lines between the 2 opposing ideologies fascism and communism as the 2nd world war fades from living memory the victim card becomes that much easier to play the major offensive launched by the red army in january 1945 was enormously important it destroyed much of the german on those capability with praise in the conference in february by both roosevelt and churchill so it was very very significant parts of the defeat of hitler unfortunately theres been a tendency in recent times to simply blame the soviet union and now russia for everything that goes wrong the soviet union lost 27000000 dead i think the crucial thing here is that we need to try and find a language and symbolism of reconciliation rather than profitably recycling the pain from the past i see this is unfortunately as cold war thinking returning. Polands former president lech walesa believes that while poles have been brought up to see the soviet union as an occupier its important to remember that the red army was a liberating force. I would invite him i would look for positive solutions so that both countries benefit and so as to prevent other powers from capitalizing on our mistakes in power i would allow myself to be invited or i would invite myself because we must remember the past respect the past remember that many people have died and deserve gratitude and recognition but again for to theres another perspective poland fooling into the captivity of the soviet union for 50 years follow us throughout the day for our special coverage of the anniversary including the documentary big sonja about a holocaust survivor and her rickshaw notice what you can see on our t. V. Today r. T. Has also launched the hash tag of victory pages documentary platform on social media heres a quick look. Russia has a new Prime Minister lawmakers approved the chemistry of mahatma shift in on thursday with president putin then signing off on the appointment a dark horse and politics until recently and systems rise has taken many by surprise heres a quick look at his record for the past decade interest in was at the home of russias federal tax service during a time in office he managed to drastically cut red tape digitalize in the Tax Authority interest and reforms have often been held up as an example to other government institutions the previous governments resignation and mischa since appointment came after president putin proposed amendments to the constitution. But it delusion with the amendments i suggested yesterday do not affect the fundamental basis of the constitution further in russias development as a law of the state the goal is also to enhance the effectiveness of the countrys institutions to strengthen the role of Civil Society and to enable the Political Parties in a regions to make decisions vital to the countrys development. For more on this were joined live by Franco Frattini at italys former foreign minister and current president of the Intelligence Society for International Organization youre very welcome to the program do you see the logic behind russias constitutional reforms thank you. Well i think it is a very important step forward the one undertaken by the president because the path of reforms is absolutely important to modernize the state to digitalize to state and i think a reform in the constitution would bring old so that balance of powers between deposit meant and the president ial power of course rush out would remain a president ial republican disease. You talk about this being imbalance of power and yet we see western media painting president putins removal of some of his own power as and a very negative light colling at some sort of ploy or a plot to retain power what do you make of that. Well i think in many cases the pictures from the western media not correct because in that way the simple idea of introducing the confidence vote from the duma to the next government is a very step forward on modernizing the state and then i repeat on balancing the powers of respect to the Current Situation of the russian the constitution i think it is important it is of course very much depend on how fast the reform will be put in place and implemented im confident then president putin will achieve that result quite soon and define a result will be how having a person as a Prime Minister knows very well done ministration he was really good on modernizing the Tax Administration in iraq. And i think president putin made a good choice. Do you think that the Mainstream Media coverage that were seeing at this point is down possibly to a genuine lack of knowledge of what the amendments mean what they say or do you think its a deliberate strategy to confuse the public. Well very often it happens that. Many media make comments on amendments on loads on project or reform and constitution we doubt knowing in details what is the reform or the rules without the proposals so i would suggest before putting for so negative comments to study to understand wont work talking about what is the reform and nonsense and then maybe we can make some comments now before Something Interesting to note is that italy has of course had technocrat governments and russias new Prime Minister is being called a technocrat by sound do you think he is going to be a good choice. Well well i think we will have to rely on the season of president putin im sure you know ride moment you would make a decision on what would be the government during and after the constitution are we for is not about us to decide not up to us to say what issue do we shouldnt do. Each and every state has a different different situation it needs only we have a Prime Minister which is a very esteemed lol your is a professor but not all the states out there see each and every state has ease all the way. Weve been speaking with annaliese former foreign minister Franco Frattini thank you so much for your time and your comments. And other news u. K. Police knew children were suffering the most profound sexual abuse in the Northern City of manchester but did not protect them thats according to a new independent report officers and 2004 launched operation augusta to investigate the issue but the report requested by the crime commissioner adds the probe was prematurely closed down for complete its work. Officially the investigation was closed due to lack of resources but was a large maggie all over a former Manchester Police detective who worked on the operation augusta says there were other reasons. The decision to close down operational krista was driven by the decision of Senior Officers to remove the resources from the investigation this was because it was a very complex investigation but there were other factors involved in the decision to close it down there was definitely an element of concern about the ethnicity of the offenders being pakistani man and the children being very vulnerable white children there was also the resources issue and because its very labor intensive it takes a lot of time it takes a lot of commitment from an organization to resource a job like this and also and that was a focus on what we call acquisitive crime so burglaries theft from Motor Vehicle robberies if somebody reported that kind of a crime to the police you would get a 1st class response if you were a child being raped it wasnt being reflected in Performance Indicators hence the police did not respond. The initial investigation was triggered by the death of victoria she was in the care of Manchester City council after her mothers death and the girl was subjected to Sexual Assault and injected with heroin by a 50 year old man the report says that carers knew about abuse was going on but did not act or police failed to bring the perpetrators to justice 15 year old victoria died after being administered a heroin overdose or tourist grandmother says that since her death she has been battling to find the truth she was such a lovely girl she didnt deserve to die ive been fighting all my life for this she told me herself with these men. The authorities knew that many victims were being subjected to the most profound abuse and exploitation but did not protect him from the perpetrators as a result very few of the relevant perpetrators were brought to justice and neither were their activities disrupted this is a depressingly familiar picture and has been seen in many other towns and cities across the country authorities have now launched a criminal investigation following the reports findings the chief constable of Manchester Police has offered his condolences to the victims adding that officers will do everything to get justice for the children. Whistleblower maggie all over again want Senior Police and other officials themselves to be investigated. This coverup thats the only word there is for it was absolutely deliberate this report this review. Is an independent 3 view makes it Crystal Clear that this was a deliberate cover up there was a reluctance to knowledge that it was pakistani men predominantly who were abusing vulnerable young white children and their Young Children that became the political hot potato it was often said that these kids of 11 and 12 were making a lifestyle choice that they were working as prostitutes that they were kids that is never the case they were vulnerable kids who we have a duty to protect and they all surratt is failed time and time again to do that this is criminal neglect in my opinion it is misconduct in Public Office at the highest level and i want to see accountability criminal charges brought against Senior Police officers senior social workers and potentially going right up to the government if culpability can be shown there for the neglect of people in Public Office.
