withdrawing troops in line with the u.n. sponsored peace plan but the opposition claims it's still under attack the security council is to consider more pressure on both sides to confine with an april twelfth ceasefire down on its next a former f.b.i. informant tells us why he thinks the war on terror is actually a war on islam. what it means craig montane who once recruited might be out behind to take part in the agency's most controversial tactics he was a confidential informant to infiltrate college for indian mosques throughout radicals and to investigate them community from within and now six years later he is with civil liberties groups to campaign for their rights thank you for having me

back in two thousand and six you became five range syrian against islam for its tummy how did that happen what i was successful as an informant from two thousand and three to early two thousand and six working on murder for hire operations robbery is a pretty widespread this is groups. and one day i was i was speaking to my handler her name was tracy had. i said. i'm interested in it for trade mosques and she said. oh my god that would. be easy it would be cold they need. a specific kind of man. a certain man who can. with the proper training can adapt and go. to the muslim community learn the language learn the religion and use the religion and the

culture against the muslim community the f.b.i. supplied him with sophisticated surveillance devices recalled key fobs it's like a remote controlled horrible control. maybe. between five and six of them. there are always charged. and i left them around the mosques where i would frequently pray. i had one in 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

a daily basis some believe 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 may use those tactics on a daily basis for over a year. but i disagree. in the reason why i disagree because entrapment methods. never stop it always grows there's no boundaries for it if i can seek out an individual and get them. worse and 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 of traveling the world must be stopped e.g. to use danger mation 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. this is certain things would come up like if the muscle man was married and he had a girlfriend the mistress the f.b.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 informant or a certain youth if they had recreational drug use. or desire to use certain narcotics and a misdemeanor level. the f.b.i. would use that to blackmail them to become formal he said early on in one of your injuries that 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 intractable bed individual can be where the local police or the federal officials cannot arrest them because of transactional immunity and ten times as you have any constraints about which we grown yes i did. play

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. 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 test 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 how widespread entrapment and or enforcement agents is in the

u.s. in my experience and i work with. several federal agencies in several local police departments. as informants. and i'll say this on each and every operational case i work on. a large degree. a large degree of entrapment. is the. best justice better grave injustice and i believe yes the f.b.i. bless rethink their policies and procedures. because i believe that entrapment creates. any. because all interested really is is the bottom line it is sitting someone up does the u.s.

entrap people who tried to. abroad get. operation flex began in the united states and flex expanded. beyond the borders of the united states and there are people who are against them in a certain few in iraq. a few in yemen. who were. entrapped. but they were used 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 trolls taylor. he was a present liberia. he was accused of having

ties with the are you have been serially young among 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 lure you in 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 d.n.a. a.t.f. which i worked as a foreman. with those individual agencies not only that. i

would say entrapment is definitely there are other minority communities in america targeted asked him to concentrate assonance sense 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 want to say that because they can't violation of one's constitutional rights. but that's exactly what it is the war on terror is

a war on islam thank you you're welcome. the goal. lifts. her mother. would speak. to. her.

mum will. ultimately be a mum of good luck. mum just see the amount to a limited amount. of her. little mug shot i'm a little. bit on sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and any glimpse something else you hear sees some other part of it and realize that everything is ok if you don't i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

a champions league semifinal with holders boss alone after a late two one win over ten man at stamford bridge the blues goes through three won on average yes and caretaker manager at about thirty minutes i can't wait to face possibly. be excited to play two games against. probably one of the person teams in the world. we will find a strategy that will suit all clears and all the team to face also on a well frank lampard suppose hard penalty put chelsea to knock on august and brumfield could read captain maxi pereira sent off but the blues enjoyed a nervous finale arthur have you got his head puts the visitors one goal away from winning the title it's a last gasp of blast from something huge but i was not relish chelsea into the last fourth or the sixth time or nine years and set up a repeat of last night's emmy final against barcelona meanwhile in madrid cristiana and although scored twice as reality two and eight to overrule.

them so that's what it was for someone who's not favorite a super favorite we have a semi final exams byron got a hold to be very balanced where it's. chant teams that are playing well byron has an extra motivation of playing the final at home we all madrid has been two consecutive years and semifinals and that is normal that we also have the extra motivation of trying to reach the final of the second time when we can reach it last time. but it means on the focus now shifts to the rope early quarterfinals this thursday night and athletic bilbao are looking to maintain the momentum of their late comeback in last week's forty when shall go the line shrugging off their poor domestic form to lure back from two one down however on sunday they were outclassed by barcelona two million the spanish league there forced into the last five league games and coach is urging his men to seize the initiative right away. in the sort where they will go out and try to win the game just like we always do

it was really to dominate throughout to claim victory if we don't take control of birds a disadvantage there has always been my game plan for any match point because social to have everything to do to overturn the deficit they need to win by three goals all better and hope their top scorer raul will have his striking boots on the former real madrid and spain legend netted both of their goals in that forty defeat by athletic and says he can't wait to return to the sun molests they do. want to surprise you it was always a privilege to play at the stadium when i was a trio but read the games he was very tense as well as being created shows because of the grateful rivalry for me it's always been a very special ground with a great atmosphere it's a great honor to come back here for such an important game show but i'm guessing. elsewhere however that's a sound balance they are all to one down in their respective times but enjoy the relative comfort every way girls going into the home legs against athletic and very

sporting he said out well respected. moving on to other thought war news and the first set to give russia seven hundred million dollars to help the. restage the twenty eighty plus cash injection makes up the bulk of the world cup budget according to russian sports minister. and is similar to the amount south africa received to host the tournament the last tournament remaining one hundred million dollars will come from sponsors the funding will be monitored by a special body called arena twenty eighteen 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. so you live. in a pretty way against and just elected all over the news and they will all be named to september we have decided that it's going to be told stadiums eleven cities so more snow is likely to offer to marina's. well meanwhile with two months to go until the european championships in poland and ukraine russia has announced that

for the first time in a decade big screens will go up across the country to show all the games fans as well we saw last oh something to bet on five other cities during the day that we sporting activities for kids volunteering even latches will be there on sale for adults and former russian and for the likes of these items will generate a great atmosphere that much of what a fan wants to watch football march we want to go out with friends told me to hop over to cheer on their team oh there's someone i'd recommend supporters come to fan zone see the stands and feel like a part of the action or i think that's professional chanted try shooting in poland and ukraine little shit and in the meantime the russian women's sports team has had a euro twenty thirteen qualification hopes ten said after their last scene it was home to a group italy trying to reports. bored 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 including a comfortable two nil win over russia in italy and there was also the small matter of the story look conceding a single goal in the process while registering twenty three but russia's group record of only one defeat in five minutes 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 elite paternity suit the turn for the remains of the heart eight minutes on and italy were to hear through veteran patricia krenwinkel who headed home from a deflect across a goal down early on rush of people 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 the sole terry goal is spite of being a week day over five thousand people were on hand to give the russian team their focus was on the second half started with a flurry with both sides coming close to story but if that was

a sign of things to come it's flattered to deceive. the game became weary with the 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 they'll once again call on the break and found themselves to nail down. this result of course suited the talents and even though the russian side huff and puff until the final whistle the results remained unchanged despite his team's dominance italy's coach had considered russia then main group rivals and said the difference between the two sides was simply confidence we have the same but. equally now is the end of the beach. 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 call doing it and for me i have. in my head no question of and nor will they get to think that we can't do it it's

impossible we must be so complacent must think that we go 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 stuart they will now surely have to settle for runners up position which is still far from guaranteed in the end it was too much for the arsenal football team the italians 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 close to qualify for next year's european champions of and that starts with greece on the sixteenth the microphone go. over to boxing now where russian cruiserweights denise lever there has defended his w.p.a. interim title in style after knocking out shaun cox early in the second round in

front of his home crowd here in moscow well that was the clear favorite before a punter even throwing and although cox not competitive in here the opening round the russian swiftly stopped him in the second and this was a thirty two year old's first defense of his belt and seventeenth that level of record now stands at twenty three wins in just one defeat and he feels he did everything right on the night. when michael marmot young as soon as i store it in my food to the edge he wants to throw punches but he can learn and lost confidence you can be the judges where he was the world for me because. my best and i will do them better in the next. little while you started the first the second round i was sure that you would knock knock him out because it was obvious that first of all you. he found a hole in his defense and it was a matter of ten or fifteen seconds if you didn't learn this punch then you would

have learned it fifteen seconds later the. first major of the year the masters has got underway in augusta with tiger woods the favorites to capture his first title but i have the tournament's there were some mixed news for pirate hounds and the johnson bird well they were the joint winners of the traditional par three curtain raiser unfortunately no winner of this event has ever gone on to claim the masters in fact all sixteen of them fails to make the cut so bert and harrington seen here with his children have to break that curse in the meantime thomas bjorn had one of the shots of the day producing seventy fourth hole in one tournament the fifty two year history very goes going going. you got. seventy four. and finally so i was like you are god and i'm just one win away from reaching the gary part finals for the first time after beating tractor three one on

how rice well i haven't got one the last two matches to take a two one series lead and they continue that momentum from the off going one the up to it yeah got a variant before the next they are usually double their lead the way through the match but there was a dramatic finale a track that pulls one back through and on the team can use less than a minute to go and they then replace their goaltender with an outfield player transnational equaliser but it was a lot of guys. who took advantage of a late empty netter final score against three once well and got the last three one off in the best of seven series and who just won moved into joint to number moscow in the final. and also the sports news.

from. the.

long.
