government reducing his pension to nothing. just defense contractors all lined up for business as india expands to popularize a military it's by corruption stuff isn't crumbling weaponry. but next starts he is speaks to a former f.b.i. informant who says the so-called war on terror is actually a war on it's not. whitney's critique one take who was recruited by the f.b.i. to take part in the agency's most controversial tactics he was a confidential informant sent to infiltrate college for indian mosques to root out radicals and to investigate and use them community from within and now six years later he is with civil liberties groups to complain for their rights thanks for having me back in two thousand and six he became five there for
4:32 am
a serious planning for its tell me how did that happen while i was successful as an informant from two thousand and three to early two thousand and six working on murder for hire. robbery is a pretty white supremacist groups. and one day i was i was speaking to my handler her name was tracing had. i said i think. i'm interested in it for trade mosques and she said oh my god that would be amazing you would be told they need to live in a specific kind of man. a certain man who can. with the proper training can adapt in the end to the muslim community learn the language learn the religion and use the religion and the culture against
4:33 am
the muslim community the f.b.i. supplied me with sophisticated surveillance devices they were called key fobs it's like a remote control horrible control. maybe if you five six of them. they're always charged. and i left them around the mosques where i would frequently pray i had one my pocket the entire time always on and i had the other key fobs just laying around in certain places where they wanted me to target like the mom's offices. certain board members offices. certain worshippers cars in their homes so those devices were pretty much use on
4:34 am
a daily basis did you use anything nation that you require to create other informants yes yes that was part of my role on operation flex for example in my conversations or in their private conversations. with say certain things would come up like if the a muslim man was married and he had a girlfriend the mistress if the i would use that information to blackmail that individual to become informant or if someone perhaps had a different sexual orientation. the f.b.i. would use that information. to blackmail them to become an informant or a certain youth if they had recreational drug use. or desire to use certain narcotics a misdemeanor level. the f.b.i.
4:35 am
would use that to blackmail them to become informant you've said harry in one of your injuries that advised time you thought you were in touch. because i was protected by the f.b.i. under the bracket of national security so that is the most touchable bed individual can be. were the local police ordered federal officials cannot arrest them because of transactional immunity and bedtimes you have any concerns about which we doing grown yes i did. but. i was being paid a lot of money at the time. and i was assured by my handlers. that the information that i was gathering and the method that i was using to gather it.
4:36 am
was far more important than the violation of anyone's rights. so i continued my handler karen armstrong head serious concerns about the method in which i was tasked to use to gather information but he was overruled by the operational. leader paul allen to keep me using entrapment types of methods to gather information somebody from that entrapment is a necessary evil it is a part of the price he paid for national security do you agree with that. i don't agree. in retrospect especially because again i i use those techniques on daily basis for over a year. but i disagree. and the reason why disagrees because
4:37 am
entrapment methods. never stop it always grows there's no boundaries for it if i can seek out an individual and get them coerce them in some way to do something they normally wouldn't do. that behavior. from the informant. only grows into more of a violation more severe violations. of the civil rights of americans so i think it travelling alone must be stopped how widespread entrapment and or enforcement agents us in the us in my experience and i've worked
4:38 am
with. several federal agencies in several local police departments. as informants. how to do this on each and every operation in case i worked on. a large degree. a large degree of entrapment. it is the principle that it best not justice that is a grave injustice and i believe yes the f.b.i. bus rethink their policies and procedures. because i believe that entrapment creates any. because all impression really is is the bottom line it is setting someone up against the u.s. entrap people who tried to abroad yes yes.
4:39 am
operation flex began in the united states and flex expanded into beyond the borders of the united states and there are people that get a stand and a certain few in iraq. a few in yemen. who were. entrapped. but they would use that method and trap it was used to blackmail them to become informants not lead to an arrest it was to blackmail them now in regards to become put he was implicated somehow in dealing with charles taylor. when he was a present liberia. he was accused of having ties with. our you have been serially young among
4:40 am
other areas in the in the world of africa rather where he was accused of providing arms. usually when they want you they meeting federal authorities the a.t.f. f.b.i. they will arrange some type of operation with a lure you in an entrapment manner where you may be innocent of that particular crime but they'll use that arrest to pressure you to plead guilty on other arrests so having known the methods of the f.b.i. the a.t.f. which i work as the informant with those individual agencies not only the f.b.i.
4:41 am
i would say entrapment is definitely there are other minority communities in america targeted asked in constantly as muslims no i think the muslims today are what the african-americans were in the fifty's sixty's and seventy's i think the order of today. where the f.b.i. needs an enemy they found it in islam. and i think unfortunately the so last a long time religious war yes but they will never say that because they can't supply lation of one's constitutional rights. but that's exactly what it is the war on terror is a war on islam thank you welcome. hold
4:42 am
it. hold it. there luck.
4:43 am

4:47 am
through the match but there was a dramatic finale to this one truck four point one back through and tony came here with less than a minute to go a then replace the bell ten best with an absolute play to try to snatch an equaliser because i've always gone to romance ivanka he took advantage of the late empty netter the final score them three weeks resign to have a god or not we were not in the best of seven series in the world when he joined anonymous that in the final. we won in football chelsea have reached the champions league semifinals after a two one win. at stamford bridge but sent the london side through three one on the aggregate to set up a showdown with barcelona and blues in. them it's called right to face the. would be exciting to play two games against. one of the best teams in the world. we were on the strategy that will suit our players and the team to face.
4:48 am
the really because jerry garcia had cancelled that. parts of the penalty with five minutes to go before popped up with the wind that the death row in contrast crazed for the fighting when. the old. man will face by new next thing his thanks for the title. of the list of requests for someone who's not favorite a superhero we have a semifinal against byron got a hold to be very balanced we are two good strong teams that are playing well and has an extra motivation of playing the final at home real madrid has been two consecutive years and semifinals and that is normal did we also have the extra motivation of trying to reach the final the second time when we couldn't reach it last time. another thought will use free face to give russia seven hundred million dollars to help stage the twenty eighteen world cup this cash injection makes up
4:49 am
the bulk of the world cup budget according to russian sports news that italian and is similar to the man south africa received to host the last world cup the remaining one hundred million dollars will come from the sponsors funding will also be monitored by a special new body called arena twenty eight team currently thirteen russian cities are bidding to be among the eleven which will host the matches and inspections of those will take place over the next few months. or more believe we're getting selected all the news and they will all be named in september we have decided that it's going to be twelve stadiums eleven cities so more screws likely to offer cheeriness. now not every russian football fan can go to poland and ukraine this summer to watch your eight twenty twelve so for the first time in a decade big screens will go up across the country to show all the matches fans owns will be set up in moscow st petersburg and five of the cities where supporters can watch every game at the championships the zones will also be in place for the
4:50 am
london olympics enjoying the day it will be sporting activities for kids and during the evening matches and we're also going to be on sale for the adults former russian midfielder alexis minute in the zones which generated great atmosphere among the non travelling fans that. one fan wants to watch a football match i want to go with friends not be true pop over can cheer on the extreme however some i'd recommend supporters come to fans own suitable stands and feel like a part of the action i think this professional transitive tragedy in poland and ukraine them. russia's women's football it's a mess had their year a twenty. stented but after they lost two nil at home to group leaders ensley watching a forest change. board by resoundingly win over macedonia last weekend russia's women were in the mood for results against group leaders italy but that prospect was never going to be easy the italians won all of the previous five group games
4:51 am
including a comfortable two nil win over russia in italy and there was also the small matter of the story not conceding a single goal in the process while registering twenty three but russia's group record of only one defeat in five meant they seemed well prepared for the challenge however from the get go it was clear russia was in for a tough ninety minutes just a few seconds in the italian should have scored and this really put unity set the tone for the remains of the half eight minutes on and italy went ahead through veteran patricia penney call who headed home from a deflect across a goal down early on russia failed to get their rhythm when they did get forward it was brief and ineffective but they did manage to keep the italians at bay going into half time trailing by that solitary goal despite it being a weekday over five thousand people were on hand to give the russian team their vocal support the second half started with a flurry with both sides coming close to scoring but if that was a sign of things to come it's batted to deceive the game became weary with the
4:52 am
russians running out of ideas and italy content to sit on their lead but when it looked like russia was finally step up their game their once again caught on the break and found themselves to kneel down. this result of course soon to be talons and even though the russian side huffed and puffed until the final whistle the results remained unchanged despite his team's dominance italy's coach had considered russia their main group rivals and said the difference between the two sides was simply confidence we are the same but. only now is he and it will be. more confident about the game russia's coach was understandably disappointed but adamant his team would still qualify for next year's european championships we must fingers we do. and for me i have in my head no questions and no negative think that we can
4:53 am
do it it's impossible we must be complacent people to swim russia remain second after the defeat two points ahead of poland while having played the same amount of games when a win would have set them up well in the fight with italy over first thought they will now surely have to settle for a position which is still far from guaranteed in the end it was too much for the loss of a national football team. willing to nail on the day but it was a fantastic day of course ball sun is shining i always thought the good performances from both sides and now for the russian team it's up to them to secure the runners up place to qualify for next year's european championships and that starts with greece on the sixteenth of june. r.t. . good luck to them next to boxing where dennis lebedev has defended his w.p.a. interim title in style in front of his home crowd in moscow the russian knocked out
