then you said rita was the focus on this about the 2 little things for the show kills c ventures or to this agency, right. and which shows up in the do it yourself. here is on the search the lead you were suddenly plunged into a series of dramatic scenes involving drunken soldiers raping or attempting to rape young french women. relative so truly to intervene would often get themselves killed. the in the summer of 1944, the normandy landings brought with them a wave of rage,

several 1000 of them according to estimates. for the 1st few weeks, the us army let things slide, but faced with complaints from the french authorities, it decided to crack down. mary louise roberts has studied sexual violence, controlling through dozens of military court cases, commodities. so then i tell you the sensible says in the book, i think the stereotype of the erotic french foreman in particular, was reinforced during the 1st world war, because uh, american soldiers deployed there in 1917, came back and told tall stories of you know, brambles and beautiful french women and struck saint raymond, and that they were easy bremen. and the american army encouraged this

view because uh, the average american soldier did not really understand why they were fighting in france. and they understood in some ways, but pacific theater because the americans had been attacked bug in france, even though the french were oldest allied as they struggle to find a reason to fight and liberate the french people. so the american army, true the newspaper, which is called stars and stripes, which is the g o newspaper, created and recreated the stereotype. and the title would be, this is what we're fighting for. they showed cartoons and pictures of women embracing g eyes and kissing jean eyes. so this gave soldiers about to arrive the idea that if they liberated the french, they would be not only warmly welcomed,

but welcome to the beds of french women. the west has been at war with russia for a very long time. currently, this is expressed through nato's proxy war on russia. losing in ukraine, nato has turned to a symmetrical warfare, including terrorism. instead of a negotiated peace, we are again going up. the escalation, flatter the,

towards the end of the 18th century, to wave of equalization, goes to the colonizers to focus their attention of the gun at period, from outside, the brutal legacy of european imperialism, and the systematic exportation of african peoples and resources. many of all nations remain quotes in the grip of neo colonial systems. africans must meet the lords allstate own land. the must us on the only results this is starting to leave africa and all the developing countries alone. the west needs to stop with the foreign interference. they know nothing and divided africa is a weakened africa. that is how they use the phrase this tons. this seems to divide us. and so bridges of understanding instead. today that opportunity lies in cooperation with nations across that drove ourselves. and with a lot of like rush you the

it as it was a yeah, the planet and then you guys to reach me is me . well, i'm just dancing to see my friend that she didn't always just give me reason to zone s a b z. i have a new phone. i don't know why she was sick on the phone. i lay sure that who the people who might be cascade, who made the offense, why she knew, come that email thought going through. so about the home you sound like they knew? pardon me, off. i know e. uh 0 is one thing shows the email i see is evil for both of them as well. oh oh i do usual for an order until usual, fairly new to plan a p certainly could do me a moment. he is who coordinates on them?

ask or the yes the girl had gone to the base. ask her what for to have a look like everybody else? the mother answered super supposed to be nice. did he follow you through the tenants? don't ask the little girl didn't know she hadn't been aware of night, most falling. we were getting ready for bed. when we heard someone walking in the court yard, the soldier had called out. men was out. the mother had closed the shutters right away while the father locked the door. the father yelled at the soldier to go away . there's no mademoiselle for you here. lieutenant stone wanted to know whether the father had insulted the soldier. for example, or had they called him a new no. we told him to go away. all she could say

was that the soldier got mad and started kicking the door. they were terrified. they thought the door of the key then the father and the mother leaned against the door and stayed there for a long time, pushing against it alone. i don't know. he was pounding hard at the door was shaking. we were still pushing against it. then he stopped, we heard him walking and we thought he left. and that's when he fired at the door. the father collapsed after school and was blown off. the mother didn't understand right away. on the after did she realize that she was covered in blood and in her husband's brains and half her cheek was torn off. and that's good. let's stop there . said lieutenants, don't it's terrible. absolutely terrible. the

a but just 500 meters from the, the new farm. the supplies battalion setup can't like all logistical military units. it was made up mainly of african american soldiers, who were rarely engaged in combat. being asked to shed blood for their country would have afforded access us to the full citizenship. they were still denied in the united states. under pressure from the southern lobby street, segregation rules were enforced. as this, there were in fact, to us armies. black soldiers had their own barracks and campaigns and were always commanded by white officers. these young african american soldiers of 1944 are now almost all deceased. to bear

witness to the segregation. i found an interview with one of them, filmed in 2003. the african american army was officer by flight people. usually people from the south who had been racist all their lives and who hated african people. stevens non commissioned officers like sergeants, you know, going on, and of course, the captains in the majors and the tenants. we have all the white people, usually from the south. so that we would, we would like slaves on the plantation and that's what we felt like, you know, father told us, do you belong to god and you belong to no man. and you fear only god

and know me. so we grew up that way. so to come into an army, to fight against a racist murderous society and be segregated nat on it. that was on her own and unbearable terrible. so this was, this was really what made the meeting with the french farmer so precious to me because it was so human. everything was so warm. his wife was, we was crying, he was crying. i was crying. he dug up the calendar to see is buried. so that's what he called a bush. c could not have it, you know, that it was just a beautiful moment that i never forgot. and i think is the source of my love for france to this day.

the september 1944. you was now wearing an american army uniform. he settled in law that for a few weeks, sharing the day to day life of the military staff and a boys highschool requisitioned by the army. the village hall was transformed into a court room for a series of court martials. first was the case involving peace. he could feel whose grandfather, vixen's wife and daughter were called as witnesses. during the confrontation, they were unable to recognize the accused. he was a black man and it was pitch dark. the. no,

i'm sure hold on, put it in the truck. also make sure everyone's on the value to the money that go mouse here. if you know you don't know if that is it, do i think that's good. so we have a date for him or don't both in your home on a by the way. yes, we use it that way i. i looked a voice on the launch. i may send it to you. a positive on dish. only thing sounds buffering my phone, say don't go mouth, shut it off. the rouge. amazingly pulse is hopefully not. it's just one that is one of the, the review that's itself is offered to you all play all day by that. i mean, you knew me was the data. so yeah, i can survey alex of course. thankfully the military tribunal was set up in the party room a little before 9. everyone was in place. even the defendant, a cat, a very young cat, less than 20. gracious young cat. surprised worried with big shiny eyes. a

sad cat standing alone between 2 guards from the military police and with rifles. a cat. we didn't even dream of taking a leap. the accused was probably the james hendrix. the charge was premeditated murder and attempted rape. the only black man in an all white court room. he remained silent throughout the proceedings. the court was made up of a dozen officers with limited knowledge of criminal justice. hendricks. his young lawyer, had only ever studied business law. the beginning bradford's argument was brief. he made no attempt to deny the horror of what had happened, nor to invent and mitigating circumstances. he pled guilty and made it clear to the

court that the murder were deeply regretted. his act as awful as it was, the terrible thing of which he was accused was simply an accident. he was not an assassin. he had not premeditated any of it. certainly he deserved punishment. but let this punishment the imprisonment for as long as they liked. spare him the news by sparing his life. give him a chance to redeem himself the don't let me close the door. this here is some 40, so the risk includes big minutes. the critical power info i'm going to provide you with the effects of, of i see this on certainly one quick thing. there's a quite a known for some quite or addition done with one really sadly me to come a google is usually one of the g is usually a little to clean up. um,

can you go ahead and put it on goals are a little too too big it is to sell for some valuable pieces and continue to store at the top of the subdivision dismissal includes cl, my we actually service it does is looking at a more structured objection, blendy quite as you know, so far as you need to be in the district by to tell me that domain is a mix so. so this will investigate crisis film back to the, to take a fresh look around as a life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really one say better wills. and is it just as

a chosen few fractured images presented to this, but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the king has been gucci ongoing? the ukrainians all abide making promises, which really had no intention of fulfilling. and uh, i left my mind is, is, is almost criminal because its outcome has been hundreds of thousands of lives. the

the hello and welcome to cross stock were all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . the west has been at war with russia for a very long time, currently spaces expressed through nato's proxy war on russia, losing in ukraine nato. his turn to a symmetrical warfare, including terrorism. instead of a negotiated piece, we are again going up the escalation latter. the cross walk in ukraine, i'm joined by my guess michael rossi and new york. he's a lecture of political science at rutgers university in miami. we have nicholas babies. he has an.
