I dont have a warm welcome to you im not that cheap. One leaders have gathered on the Southern Coast of england to mark the 75th anniversary of d. Day the day in 144. 00 when an odd forces landed in normandy and began to retake europe from nazi germany. Representatives of 16 nations joined Britains Queen elizabeth at the ceremony in portsmouth where many of the troops in box for normandy on june 5th 1944 among them among the leaders are french president Emmanuel Mccraw and german chancellor Angela Merkel and u. S. President honored from 3 attributes the allied soldiers sailors and airmen who gave their lives in the invasion the stars of the day are the veterans of that campaign some 300 taking part in the commemorations. Now did began with Operation Overlord a massive Naval Operation to ferry American British canadian and other allied forces across the English Channel to the french coast and i drew means the largest sort of its kind in the history of modern warfare some 7 pounds and ships and Landing Craft headed for a 50 mile stretch off the french coast and the code names of those landing beaches are etched in history utah gold juno and sword and todays commemorations didnt begin in france though but at the english naval base of portsmouth from where d. Day veterans are to depart on a ship for france also imports look that is our correspondent shot of parts who has come covering those commemoration ceremonies for us tell us whats been happening there so far to mark the day. Yes it was here in. Force of the thousands of soldiers who were leaving in 44 you can see the hobbit behind me and this is where the ships were departing from normandy this is also where this commemoration ceremony just took place with 16 leaders there on stage reliving andrea and acting that memory of the day and keeping that memory alive with musical performances the World Leaders read poems a diary entries from soldiers in parts of very emotional events and theres also something that concrete that came out of this event a d. Day proclamation from those World Leaders to ensure that those horrific events. Never be repeated again and that conflict should be resolved peacefully and that lots of. Money is the queen is that 16. 00 World Leaders up there but the may be heroes really the veterans also attending the commemoration. Absolutely 300 veterans that attended the ceremony here they are all over 90 years old of course now and they were really at the center stage of this ceremony it was all surrounding them on entering them the queen the queen address them and her speech she said i am part of that war generation and i know the sec rafah is as you have made for us to live in freedom so very emotional there and those veterans. With leaders with the queen it must be a very interesting experience for them at that age and those veterans will be departing on a ship tonight from this harbor to normandy you where those events will continue to take place those come immigration. Events will continue tomorrow so much of symbolism and so much of history shall we continue our conversation lets take a look at the events of 75 years ago and at some of the days legacy. At 1st glance its hard to see any sign of the horrors that this stretch of sand played host to. But 75 years ago on june 6th the fate of an entire continent rested on the soldiers who came ashore here on omaha beach. Operation overlord saw a combined force of nearly 160000 American British and canadian troops land on the beaches of normandy. Gaining a foothold in nazi occupied france came at a heavy price. The fison on d. Day and in the weeks afterwards claimed the lives of tens of thousands of allied soldiers. But their sacrifice hastened the defeat of hitlers 3rd reich. Commemorating the fallen became an important ritual for the victorious allied powers a reminder that they fought on the side of right in a just war. The germans also suffered heavy casualties but it wasnt until 2004 that france invited a german chancellor to take part in the end youll commemorations. What was once viewed in germany as a calamitous defeat is now seen as marking the start of the long road to peace and liberation. Do you do. The successful invasion completely changed europe for the best they brought us democracy we lost the war. Weve had 70 years of peace here. All the people lying in the cemeteries there. This is what goes through my head when i visit them on d. Day. All those people died for us so that we could live in peace. You know. When france and germany 1st commemorated the invasion of normandy together it was seen by observers as a sign of deepening european unity in the face of strained transatlantic ties. And face with threats both foreign and domestic the bond of european unity continues to be put to the test 75 years after the events of d. Day. There telling that a shot of fonso is in a pool with one shot german chancellor Angela Merkel is also attending the ceremonies explain to us the significance and the symbolism of having a german chancellor at these commemorations. Yeah of course im retired theres a huge significance behind that it wasnt until 2004 we just heard that a german chancellor participated in these events of course huge significance there and also this day is just it was a key event. That really changed the course of history and created a new world order a new world order established on democracy and peace created after that the United Nations and the European Union and these institutions and values have now come under pressure by the u. S. President but also for example by the british decision to leave the European Union so its interesting to see these World Leaders uniting today and coming together in a peaceful way 75 years after those nations really fought each other to the death.

Friendships must be cultivated to that end china bestowed an honorary doctorate on russias president last month at a press conference for the event Vladimir Putin praised the 2 countries relationship to finish to the east.

The president ial visit to St Petersburg has been in the works for a long time. Yet china and russia support each other diplomatically against ansi globalization protectionism and unilateralism this fully reflects the high level and special nature of the 2 countries Strategic Partnership. Both russia and china are permanent members of the United NationsSecurity Council where they often block resolutions from western countries especially relating to syria and venezuela. And other key part of the russian chinese relationship is increasing military coordination russian t. V. News recently showed joint military exercises 3000 chinese soldiers joined hundreds of thousands of Russian Troops on maneuvers last year alone chinese numbers a sign that the russians dont completely trust them yet oh. We dont intend to become dependent on china thats why were developing relationships with japan korea as the end countries and india russias asia policy is more than just a china policy but its. A sign that Russian Foreign policy is based on pragmatism and can be easily adjusted depending on which way the wind blows. And for more on the meeting between the leaders of russia and china indeed obvious emily should have been joins me now from our Moscow Bureau every what is an important visit what is planned for the day. Well she has already arrived in moscow where he was given full on earth he was received with full honors and hes already behind closed doors in a meeting with Vladimir Putin at the kremlin palace theres a lot on the agenda for today its expected that during this visit 30 deals will be signed and the 2 leaders will be discussing a lot of the big issues on the agenda in International Politics today including the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula the crisis in venezuela and also the Iran Nuclear Deal which both sides want to salvage but one of the main things on the agenda today amrita is a display of kind of bombastic Friendship Head of the visit both sides were making remarks about the depth of that friendship just now in the Opening Statements the 2 leaders made we heard the mere putin saying that relations had gotten up to an unprecedented level this this visit is rather long but chinese leader will be here for. 3 days here in russia and he will also hand over today in a ceremony to the moscow zoo 2 pandas in a symbol of friendship and the 2 leaders tonight will be visiting the bolshoi so a lot on the agenda including the symbol that signal of friendship but what they miss it do the 2 leaders want to send a with a meeting to the outside. Well both sides as i said sending this signal that they are a united front and that signal particularly is supposed to go to the u. S. And to the west on the whole both sides. Are united in their kind of anti u. S. Position both sides have talked a lot in the past about the unilateralism of the u. S. The way that the u. S. Is trying to kind of create this world order that they are in charge of and how both sides do not agree with china and russia china has been pushed into that position as it were by the trade war that the u. S. Has started with it but russia is there ready to welcome china with open arms russian fact has been trying to kind of pivot towards asia including towards china since 2014 when it was hit with International Sanctions after the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula so this is certainly a convenient situation for russia right.
