live from the russian capital this is the trick for us today top stories this hour massive austerity cuts in the government's budget policies are blamed for losing control of the streets after four nights of riots in the u.k. . president can also cause he is cutting short his summer holiday to hold an emergency meeting on the euro crisis as fears grow france could be next in line to lose its top credit rating. activists in russia are taking matters into their own hands when it comes to catching paedophiles who escape justice current sex crimes are also slammed for being in adequate and keeping the threats from the playground

. that's all from me build up and he said no he should be here within thirty minutes time with the latest news as it continues here on r.t. in the meantime we follow the journey of two colombians as they try to find the truth behind the deaths of their relatives in a mysterious military operation. as you can see. course in the old regions of colombia the state fights all armed groups with the same zeal. that the first let's say.

the. term positive is let's say a colombian one sees this and it consists of assassinating a person. killing innocent victims. from the city rejects and outcasts are enticed with job offers both legal and illegal they are quickly recruited are recruited here taken to other areas of the country and murdered they take them from own region to another they dress them up as warriors after killing them like guerilla fighters i make it seem like they died in combat as they passed them off

as fighters killed in battle then they tell us they were guerrillas who died in combat that's why they are known as positive will. keep. going. back. but i got here in tuesday and i wasn't sure he was dead i was sitting right here when i asked my mother. do you know replied they found. who did he go off with. i think she got away with another woman but she told me he'd been found dead but it was tough but i said i couldn't believe it until i saw him i wouldn't believe it it's a lawless and. the cuban or form of torture but it is carried out according to this procedure therefore it's presented as a positive result but it conceals a breach of the law before the fuel from the false is positive those are killings

committed by law enforcers and both of the killings are passed off as successes in the colombian internal conflicts which the government denies and simply present as a fight against terrorism every morning. in december quarter later of quite tech a investigative police. informed me that something serious had happened to alexander he said he wanted to see me. he told me alexander had died on september seventeenth at five am. and she wore bayaka during a clash with the army. i think it's part of what i once called the pater ship of the positive within the police forces

. by that i mean that the instrument the barometer to measure the effectiveness and the results of the police forces is the number of positive. cases we have registered between january two thousand and seven and june two thousand and eight are five hundred thirty five unlawful executions reported to our organizations. at first there was a decree known as the cap to creep relating to rewards for operations of national importance. in other words troop members were given significant sums of money if they shot individuals who were thought to be guerillas . what the country wasn't told is that when the decree was her vote a secret directive was a shoot that kept the same rewards for every enemy shot. it was hers have to achieve results their careers are sest according to performance if they've got

nothing to show and they have to be created. by repeating the government's firm will to achieve a country without colors about paramilitaries or drug trafficking or corruption. in the e.u. . to. me they gave me judges number of the josh was doing with the case and i contacted him it was already late so i called him the following morning we arranged to meet

the next day in the human rights office she was going to meet the representative and invited me to the meeting i said all right i went through and i gave my evidence and asked to see the photos she asked me why i wanted to see them and i said i needed to be sure it was really him so he showed me them. i have to stick to my hand the letter is c.n.n. which then can stands in the way or was she has the same to me here alex alexander was a year older than me when he died he was thirty one. he suffered from a mental disease called bipolar affective disorder he had a son a young boy of my mil's dois he showed me his tattoo. and i just felt that i wanted the ground to open out the loo and small me out. it was so tough. i just put my hands over my mouth and couldn't say anything. he came up to me to

take back the photo book. interest in the photos were scanned but i told him no sir i'm strong enough to look at them. and certify to see all i disappeared from the neighborhood. out about four pm. it was killed the following day eleven hours later at about five am. it was found about one hundred sixty kilometers away when. he left me the photos and i kept looking at them yet. they put an old rifle beside him. and i noticed he had a white t. shirt and a jacket that given him. alexander was mentally ill he was never in the army he didn't know a thing about weapons and they had placed

a machine gun beside a really powerful weapon. next to the other boy they put a less powerful gun even though he was good with weapons. he knew everything about weapons how could he have just an old rifle while alexander who was sick someone who had a few screws lose how could he have a machine gun. that killed them and they put weapons beside them it's easy. i. was it doesn't prove that the case exploded precisely one month after the defense minister declared september ninth national human rights day in the us. he

also said that unlawful executions were practically over. and the defense minister told us on september the ninth just over a month ago what follows song continue ignoring reality they try to sell a false hope government policy regarding extrajudicial executions as they improperly called they use the numbers due diligence to mice police forces but when these reports are actually investigate is nothing is ever found that. in late september the events in so archer were revealed. these events unearthed a truth that can no longer be headed.

cases of young people disappearing and so watch them found murdered in a canyon in the sometime dare region of north and inclement tara were published. it was the last straw. with the reports made public the overwhelming natural reality of fossils positive was an extrajudicial killings. many people didn't believe it and. it started to become clear that it wasn't just isolated cases but a model the scandal showing the full atrocity of the fossils positivist case finally exploded. i had the opportunity of presenting the problem to present a real bear on various occasions in the past both in private and in meetings in washington and in bogota. he never wanted to discuss the issue. he would get

angry and nervous whenever it was raised. it would discredit it as an international smear campaign. oh it is not a guerrilla has a new strategy because. every time a warrior is shot dead it is immediately claimed at home and abroad. that it was an extrajudicial execution. along. the at the seafront must be a has the largest number of murdered union members in the world simply because they were doing their job that. is

the colombian state or peculiar historical times sociological reasons has slowly turned into a criminal apparatus for the men of at the very least for the whole institutions of the states have taken on this form. first through torture but then with the desaparecidos of the creation of paramilitary groups that turned into a strategy which has had the form of a very strong national structure. without enough and i would we put it this way then the practice of extrajudicial executions and forced displacement. the forms of social control in such an elitist and all sorts hereon country and in such a polarized society turns violence into a tool for regular isolation. was

. going to stoke on beyond this state. if colombia has generated policies that favor a massive systematic violation of human rights this columbian has very serious deficits as far as justice is concerned all right general rule in colombia is impunity. for the policies of secure a dad democratica which propelled this government are founded on the militarization of society in other words on the growth of the war machinery and the colombian army has grown rapidly in the last few years it has doubled in strength because of the

armed struggle in the country so there is a whole range of controls and internal systems we believe ought to be reformed and improved it is also characterized by the creation of a secret police which persecutes opponents so as to turn the paramilitary groups into a structure so even if they have been apparently just bonded they will continue to operate very intensely controlling a good part of the national territory. if they call me and i reply i am a colombian to secure a dad democratic a is a good thing a problem is that there are bad elements in the army in the police and in other bodies they aren't applying the law as they should what's wrong with the security that democratic is the rewards given to servicemen when they turn up with a positive. is the rewards policy is necessary to fight crime. but we really should revise our

policy where we if we don't it is either interpreted wrongly or fulfilled in a criminal manner it is in the more people that are shot the more convenient it is for a military unit or individual soldier because it allows them to get home leave to go and see their mothers and girlfriends it also allows them to advance in their careers to win the respect of other service men. it helps gain decorations and it often wins them rewards in cash which also end up in the hands of civilians were critters of these young men and of some service men. to be. with.

you. in. this it was there i first took part because of a neighbor of mine. his name was probably oh son one santiago. my job was to go around powers with him to help sell cocaine. on january third or fourth two thousand and seven zero asked me for the first time to help him take

a bunch of young guys someplace. when we got there we got a call from the army i didn't know was for the army i only found out there and then but those kids were for the army. the look is it when you just know you you know rumors going around the neighborhood about these guys say they got the money straight out of the hands of the army people they deliver the kids to. school what you want americans you the army by them like merchandise bob you would give me four hundred six hundred or seven hundred per person leave me a mine just over there. a friend came looking for him at a mall five thirty pm. lady ask him you know you're looking for cancer it's a blond kid she leaned out of the small window on the second floor and came out with a standard somewhere in the park top for a while and then left and that was the last time anyone saw him. look it is

what they were saying in the bars was that they would give you two million pesos for every kid's things you just have to convince them by promising a job and simply take them out of town and hand them over to the army and you know they say he'd been offered to pay eight hundred thousand passes plus board and lodging. we went there to pick up two kids is it was about seven or eight pm and there was an army lawyer waiting for us. coming and then there's this we got out of the taxi with the kids would be a went over to speak with the army guys while the two kids waited. and then just the two of us got back into the taxi and headed back to. be with and as we know they ended up lying in a field somewhere armed and dead. and it was good for business too because of a shot dead an enemy. soldiers would get home leave and then we could sell i'm cold

. there's this young woman so we'd get to jails for the price of one. that. you know. that's what these people were saying in the bars. because they are people without ordinary feelings. they just go around telling people how they sold them and how much they made. all of. them got no problem telling you what happens to these kids with their lovely what was it the procedure was always the same we take into account yeah and when the order came from the battalion to deliver them would hand them over to the army.

after seeing the photos i got in touch with actor and they told me i had to go to iraq to stop custody prestigious to get custody of the body once they gave us news the delivery we went to recover the bodies. once they gave us notice of delivery we went to recover the bodies. which. we left at half past three in the morning. to go to the human rights office.

to. me it was going to go to barber koa at about nine am. there they gave us the medical examination papers for my brother alexander with the . relics on the limo and for no barrel of the other young man who died with him. at the medical examination office they gave us the death certificate and the woman who was the medical examiner there were cold war. so they'd give us the bodies we thought that if we arrive in time you could have buried them in the guitar the

same day as. if they'd injured him because what i got is that they hit him with one or two bullets. and on the death certificate it says death do you just several gunshots. a. lot of the my saddest part of the story was when nobody arrows mom asked me the meaning of death by acute hemorrhaging i mean. people killed because she didn't understand them and. i thought the clearest thing to say was that they bled to death about cute him around chickening mia we asked what it was and they said they'd let to death both of them actors brother and. you know and they died so close to

the hospital in the city you know it wouldn't. again logical for the army people themselves even if they were real criminals take them to the hospital to try and rescue them but instead they left them to die like dogs in the middle of a field. why did they leave them to bleed to death because it was more worthwhile this way it was worthwhile to let them die so they could show them off as on some suppose he keeps. saying. the. least

so. just see. if see. if. more news today violence is once again flared up if these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada past showing corporations are. safe. wealthy british style. sometimes such classes.
