A series of attacks on sailboats off the coast of spain. Im rebecca it is welcome to the program a safe fire between mania and as a vision appears to have been short lived the 2 former soviet republics agreeing to hope their decades long conflict over the disputed region of nagornokarabakh after talks brokered by russia but shortly after the cease fire came into effect h. Side blamed the other for breaking the armistice caught in the middle are thousands of displaced civilians good move good move a new group and some of their rent child forced to take refuge in a school. And hes just one of several azerbaijani families here. Lead here from nearby villages there are scaping heavy fighting near the border of not going to carry back that tone that lives apart. In the mess we have cash in the gulf as we have children we were forced to come here but we go back and forth even if they destroy our house we will go back. To you know guy that a fight. Over the border in the disputed region of nagornokarabakh this armenian father surveys the wreckage his 2 sons have been fighting to protect this breakaway territory he blames azerbaijan for the devastation. There from us every day 15 to 20 times a day we cant leave basements all shops are closed theres nothing to eat. One of go in or carry back is officially in azerbaijan its controlled by ethnic amini and forces the last 2 weeks have seen the worst fighting since a war over the disputed territory ended in 1994 russia has been mediating between these 2 former soviet states in the early hours of saturday morning a cease fire was announced. The republic of john and the republican for mean you are starting substantive negotiations with the game of achieving a peaceful settlement as soon as possible. Now there has to be an exchange of prisoners and the repacked relation of bodies. But for families like these cold stop in this conflict their biggest dream is for a last piece. Lets bring in our moscow correspondent any show and they both sides are accusing each other of violating this latest ceasefire but this dispute is being rumbling along for decades why is it proving so difficult to seoul. This is an ongoing conflict that has been going on since the dissolution of the soviet union and this is the worst fighting weve seen a century since the ninetys both countries this is one of many conflicts actually that is kind of rumbling along in the post soviet sphere what you have to understand is that both countries were part of the soviet union so it didnt really matter where the borders were they were part of one country it didnt matter that this ethnically armenian part or section was kind of within by john but now that the 2 countries are of course independent countries that has become an ongoing difficult conflict and this time of course the power balance has kind of been thrown off by the involvement of turkey defending what. The president of turkey calls its brothers john people in azerbaijan are ethnically turkish and that has kind of thrown the whole balance of this conflict off making it even more difficult to resolve to of course the fighting has been taking place on russias doorstep and yet most hesitant to get involved why is that. Russias been the traditional peace broker in this conflict and thats a complicated role because both by john and armine are close allies of russia russia considers both countries to be part of its kind of traditional sphere of influence because both countries are post soviet but russia has closer ties with armenia armenia as part of an Economic Union with russia part of a mutual defense pact as well but with the kremlin i think somewhat distrusts armenia since nicole touching on the president there now came to power in street protests in 2018 that is always a reason for the kremlin to distrust people people who come to power in revolutions or protests thats something that the kremlin is not a fan of and of course turkeys involvement as i said makes this much more complicated now. And in the show and in moscow thanks very much for analysis.

Like a scene out of a horror film a group of all cruise surround a sailboat off spains Atlantic Coast they appear to want to play not entirely unusual. But the game turned serious one orca begins to ram the hole and attacks the rudder until the boat can hardly maneuver. There have been several such attacks since august but.

Ill leave you now with the royal ballet well have more news at the top of the hour thanks for watching. In mexico many pushes cold loves us right now in the World Climate change history and awful story this is my Plastic Waste film just one week. How much worse can it really get. We still have time to ask im doing. This. Plus a. Cold war was an ideological war people said you know it just. Not clear what system is best what system will prevail. In fact if it was shut down a long time the issue of who was more powerful economically to use was not totally clearly displayed in the west and the sputnik shock caused total panic sets for the proof. How surprising was that now its us who are showing the west showing the americans what technical progress is taking issue from its. Done its job to see if i needed to use the military doctrine at the time was mutual assured destruction we were prepared to think at a time. Really were. Just going to throw in the 1st 15 minutes of a war germany would have gone up in flames like a tool which. It had we were really scared because it could all kick off any time someone goes crazy and bam were in the middle of a 2 minute. The 2nd world war came to an end in europe in may 945. 00 with germanys Unconditional Surrender the victorious powers divided the ruined country into 4 sounds a bucket patient it was supposed to be temporary but communist leader Joseph Stalin was in little mood for compromise with the western democracies france britain and the us. This Ideological Division led to the cold war a battle for dominance over the world that would last for decades and split europe into 2. Nowhere was this more evident than germany or the iron curtain ran through the middle of the country and the city of berlin was divided by a wall. Here and is alone in western germany the war came to an end on. April 16th 1045 when american troops arrived. It ultimately became part of democratic west germany. But not everywhere liberated by the americans ended up free. Is the version that most people could accept was to say who liberated us we were liberated by the americans and we suffered under the russian sit in that was this one thing that was the short form in other words the soviet unions contribution to liberating germany from fascism shrank to virtually nothing in the states to send then. There were similar scenes at 1st in holland as an eastern germany in late april 945 it too was taken by american troops. For 9 year old. The liberators were enemy soldiers but they were quite different from what he had been told to expect. They entered the town in good spirits and she have any as if it were nothing special at all from the obvious because we met them looked at them stupid as it was we bravely rejected the sweets and chocolate they offered us up for what i got but that was how we have been brought up sadly the americans were soon replaced by the russians allowed by the produce holding ton of fun it wasnt. The russians came and the americans left. The allies had agreed that holland would fall into the soviet occupation zone the days of sweets and chocolates were over. For then was there some sort of new york to an arched we were afraid of the russian soldiers of one of them had assaulted our mother on her way to night school as eventually to learn russian for us fortunately it happened near our house got so drunk i heard my mother screamed and ran down until i was only in the. 9 years old at the time i just saw the russian let go of her and disappear was a funny are pretty short and sweet on folks like to. Write from the start relations between russians and germans were fraught with problems it was a different story from the western sectors the division of germany had already begun. In late july 945 stalin met with u. S. President harry truman and british Prime MinisterWinston Churchill and pottstown their berlin but no longer united against a common enemy there was little they could agree on. At the meeting in point system stalin had said right from the start the germany was not to be divided but truman categorically rejected that idea in his briefcase his assistant was carrying 3 all full models for the division of germany ok. The victors mistrusted one another. Now that the struggle against nazi germany was over each wanted its own germany its own sphere of influence its own buffer against the others. Germany was divided into 4 parts. French. British american. With the 2nd world war behind them disagreements between the soviets and the western allies were out in the open the soviet union had lost more than 20000000. 00 people and was economically devastated stalin demanded 10000000000 dollars and access to their war Industrial Area and western germany stalin needed coal and he held a bargaining chip much to the. German prisoners of war. Stalin had thousands of them herded through moscow even before the war was over. But this humiliation of the losing side failed to achieve its desired. Back to. This and. The mayor was silence and people just stood there and looked and there was no shouting no outbursts of rage just this total silence absolute the shtetl in its own minds that the dimensions of the tragedy on both sides were so massive stock that had to my view to you might say that People Fairly quickly felt sympathy for the germans they were hungry and racket. In 1945 more than 3000000 german men were imprisoned in soviet camps many would not see their home again for many years if at all. The german prisoners were forced into reeducation. Socalled and teach us schools for anti fascist were designed to expunge the old ideology and instill communist ideals. And movements the who would know me the red army colonel tried to free us from this nazi ideology this view so that on our return to germany we would actually be educated marxists who were coming from imprisonment as friends of the soviet union and theres a sort of dont you think you function of. Naziism was thoroughly discredited and communism and to fill the ideological vacuum the soviet union now controlled one half of europe and believed it was only a matter of time until it controlled the rest communist ideals had attracted many followers in the west now there were fears communists could take advantage of the postwar instability to seize power as my most leverage because i have from this the angst speak to his destiny it is important to understand i think that there was this great beer that socialism was still a seductive ideology a field of the shit if you look east during the. 1950 s. People spoke about a domino theory and here and this fear was not unjustified after all for a long time socialism had been a fascinating idea. Unlike today and back then it was often langhams as a notion of freedom if you liberation and selfdetermination concepts pushed him for good and. So was the soapie a triumph over nazi germany not also a triumph of communism over a need. Or should an overdue even merely give up for before the war there were many people in america in france and britain who were convinced of the superiority of the soviet system he would need to dig up some had come from the United States to help build up the system to then claim the war sure would. Not be saved but the most of soon to get feed benefited the soviet union in so far as roosevelt and churchill to acknowledge that it was russia that had stopped hitler and broken his back so just be you to watch a. Good deal more still ahead after reaches its gross sales as a result of respect for the soviet union had grown. A bit of a lost its good. I believe churchills famous speech in missouri when he used the term. Not the start of the cold war. We need. To reveal some sort of. What i mean theres this. Rubbish becky in the baltic. In the adriatic and i are. Standard across the continent. I will look at the a state of central and. All the famous it is and the population. Why. I must be. The us responded with a show of by natural might in 1947 that approved the marshall plan. Officially known as the European Recovery Program it was designed to immunize europe against the spread of communist ideology. Containments was the term president harry s. Truman used to describe this investment. I believe. That it mu
