and i welcome you watching live from moscow with me andrey farmer. our top story a three year old russian boy has died in the u.s. allegedly at the hands of his adoptive mother the claims come a month after a new law came into effect banning american citizens from adopting russian children following similar cases moscow is demanding severe punishments for the death of maxine however according to russian diplomats the u.s. state department has so far been reluctant to cooperate with an investigation artesian report has this report. that this case unfolded in texas according to officials three year old maxime died on january twenty first at the hands of his adoptive mother the probe conducted by russia's investigative committee revealed

that maksim was beaten by his adoptive mother who according to officials also fed him strong psychotropic medication and investigators say that the boy allegedly died before medics arrived at the scene but that it was his adoptive mother who had called the medics to begin with an autopsy reportedly show that maksim suffered multiple injuries to his head his abdomen and internal organs prior to his death officials say the three year old boy's arms legs and head were also covered in scratches and bruises this is just one of twenty cases when a russian adopted child dies in the custody of an american family here in the states some examples include back in two thousand and eight a russian boy died after spending nine hours in a car with temperatures reaching up to thirty two degrees celsius but his adoptive father faced up to ten years in jail for manslaughter however he was found not guilty and walked free there was

a case in which an american mother. boarded her adoptive russian son on a flight to moscow and giving him just a note saying she doesn't want to be his mother anymore in the few weeks past few weeks russia did adopt legislation banning u.s. adoptions of russian children it was criticized by many saying that it prevents russian children from having a better life in american families russian officials say that the new law it's targeting the u.s. legal system that according to russian officials has been treating cases of russian children of cruel treatment to manslaughter with it admissible leniency. unfortunately is usually months after russian child has done to the american side informs us about it and want. it was five years after a boy died and that's how our cooperation with us works they do not inform us fast enough or the information is not reliable the right tens of thousands of russian adoptive children living in the us and we haven't got

a clue about the lives of most of them there is no confirmation that they're all right and they're not being abused do you want to show it's an investigation into the death of maxime is still ongoing to find out greater details. there i've been author of several books on international adoptions says despite washington's promise to better investigate the abuse of russian children by their american adoptive families the longstanding problem still hasn't been properly addressed this is the ongoing problem and what russia has been demanding from or from the u.s. for years is follow up but the united states is not set up to follow up on adoptions once they're finalized that's been a thorn in the side of russian officials for good reason with these now twenty cases of abuse that have resulted in the death of these twenty four children and we don't know how many other children are. living with abuse or you know that haven't

died from it ecuador's leader rafael kobe is celebrating having secured a third term as the country's president colleagues martie spanish channel spoke to the newly reelected leader and among other issues i asked him about his take on the future of the world's top whistle blower and wiki leaks added to the sun she remains holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london. if it's up to europe now it's aqua who has used its sovereignty to do what it had to do i mean our country doesn't have to ask anybody for political or offer explanations but we're facing an immense arrogance and a policy of neocolonialism they want us to provide some explanations over the granting of asylum why on earth should we do that any way and on top of that they want us to cancel that decision and we will never do that. activist and radio show host on one commission says it's curry's opposition to the white house

that could keep him in office for quite some time. the sentiment on the ground with most ecuadorians as well as the growing sentiment throughout latin america is that those who continue to align themselves with the u.s. unconditionally are not going to find support from the people of people who eventually are the ones who are going to be casting their ballots during these elections has been outspoken against us the new york colonization has been an outspoken against all of the new york liberal agenda and u.s. imperialism quite some time folks are done with this whole all model where we're going to continue to be can you know continuously improve ritually dependent on us and it is corporate interests that those days are done hopefully. as the u.k.'s relations with europe turn increasingly salah london appears to be seeking an alternative market to support his debt stricken economy the british prime minister is on a three day visit to the country's former top colony india in

a bid to with officials and investors david cameron has called on new delhi to cut regulations and make take to encourage crime to trade ties with the k p n he says britain wants to become india's economic partner of choice the visit comes as fronts also seeks to expand its ties with the rapidly growing asian economy just last week president francois hollande was in india to hammer out a lucrative deals some observers say london will face challenges in winning over new delhi. the size of the delegation certainly shows the aggressive nature of far right mr cameron's drive to seek trade abroad right now prime minister cameron is not the best friend of the rest of the you especially france and germany so i think the interests of the two countries france and britain are quite separate that britain feels that because of the historic on

relationship with india. britain can. then perhaps first with the indian government however i would say this the historical memory is of course only a root doesn't sit very well with the indians still. meanwhile reports reveal the u.k. has already made a killing by selling weapons to an asian country accused of grace human rights violations sure lanka has allegedly bought more than three million pounds worth of small arms and ammunition from london that's despite the country's record of mistreating minorities and suppressing separatism antiwar activists jim brann believes the u.k. is placing geopolitics over human rights. because there's the geostrategic questions because sri lanka occupies a very strategic position. in the indian ocean you have the united states what they call the pivot toward asia which britain is dutifully going along with good

relations with sri lanka would be very valuable in that context also because this whole idea that britain abides by human rights criteria in arms exports simply doesn't make sense and generally should be discounted the answer trade is a very hard. profitable geo politically important business and that's the business which gauged in arms sales in general and in. particular. still to come few playing with fire. but the fire. with up to four children a day with weapons in schools according to. look at how the worrying trend is being dealt with. and israel continues its push for more settlements we report.

live . but i welcome back now a pile of textbooks a lunchbox and a knuckle duster how is that for a regular kit in a british school bag or sadly for u.k. parents a recent study shows an ever increasing number of peoples are being caught with weapons in british schools sarah first looks into the figures now and investigates the shocking trend. you probably end up in a dead end job or in prison you'll be lucky to be alive when you're sixteen. you know our parent is gone our courage is not for no for my teaching them to say anything about a stark insight into the reality facing some christian school children despite having one of the best education systems in the world the latest research estimates

that up to four peoples a day a court with weapons in british cools guns knives and knuckle dusters just some of the items confiscated by police are members always searching the school and. gone to the school i had. gone. on about the fire schools are supposed to be a safe secure environment where the focus is on education the thinkers have revealed that hundreds of weapons are being seized in schools every year with a number of violent incidents on the rise the reality for many schools across the bay is that your classmate can quickly become your enemy and the school playgrounds can be a dangerous place but it's not only the peoples who are subject to violence in london alone this being more than four thousand assaults on teachers by peoples

over the past year is it's a shocking indication at the levels of violence in school it becomes normal to. get involved in this you get sucked into this last thing to violence the best approach. is it's just about waking up in the morning and going for run yeah after a while it becomes normal to you stephen is now working with us charity x l p thirty nine hundred ninety six after school stabbing founded patrick regan has been helping young people tackle gun culture and violence a member could come. me wearing a bulletproof vest underneath his school uniform he said i'll be dead by thursday according to patrick it's early intervention which is key prison is forty thousand pounds a year a young person's secure unit is one hundred sixty five thousand pounds a year a murder can be a million pounds a year to investigate so actually you know if we intervene earlier keep kids in

education keep that sense of a safe place an environment where they can grow and flourish then it is far better and that doesn't take into consideration the emotional course you know i have to deal with people who've lost their sons and their daughters the gun and knife crime . so we have to address it earlier the problem of violence in schools is not a new one but it's not something you're likely to read about in a school prospectus and it's particularly acute in the country's deprived in a city of course schools on the whole do not want the public to know that they have a problem with children bringing weapons onto the premises so they do not readily give the information so i guess the problem is significant or they teach it can now search people's if they suspect they're carrying a weapon many theel politicians are still failing to sit up and take notice and until more is done to address the problem the children who attend these schools will continue to learn these lessons. so if there are thirty london.

west so this is really a signal which is supposed to hide the essence of this project and it is to treat bashar and his government as members of joint enterprise so i think this is just a choreographed ross concealed cards that the decision in washington has already been made but luckily bashar is proving to be a much tougher nut to crack than they expected. more news in r.t. this hour police and striking workers from spain's iberia airlines have clashed in madrid but a house airport during attempts to clear a terminal of protesting crowds iberia stuff announced a five day walkout against plans to cut nearly four thousand jobs the spanish carrier merged with british airways and twenty ten protesters and i blame u.k. managers for the looming cuts the strikes have already grounded hundreds of flights and are expected to cost the struggling airline millions of your race. relations

west bank the country's vowing not to backtrack from its settlement plans israel's been eyeing a disputed area of land known as a few yeas even though building there might drive a stake through the heart of any future peace solution with the palestinians slayer investigates. it's rugged unremarkable landscape largely empty but full of meaning this is one of the west bank's most sensitive pieces of real estate for fourteen years plans to build here have existed but were kept on hold but all of that changed last november less than twenty four hours after the u.n. general assembly recognize palestine is a nonmember observer state television fast tracked construction plans here prompting the palestinian government to call it a slap in the face of the entire world. this plan to build here is not legal according to international law which states that when one country occupies another

it can and change facts on the ground israel is doing exactly this while also getting people out of their lands soley for the benefit of the settlers. known as the one this controversial patch of earth exists between east jerusalem where palestinians aspire to establish the capital of a future palestinian state and the huge israeli settlement of ma'ale adumim it is the last remaining corridor between the large palestinian cities in the west bank and of plans go ahead and the israelis extend this area it would cut into a big chunk of the west bank effectively driving a wedge into the middle of any potential palestinian state critics have warned that filling the space with jewish homes amounts to a doomsday scenario effectively striking a fatal heart attack to the two state solution but for now the plan is to build a garbage dump in this valley with the waste that comes from jerusalem and then in about twenty to thirty years when it's full to build a park on top of us here you can see that palestinians fear it's part of

a long term strategy to extend the one and build new israeli settlements it's not surprising this is not the first time that such a plan is submitted it is a ongoing policy that has been growing for years now in at the end to grab palestinian lands but first the israelis need to get rid of the people who live here among them around three arab jerusalem neighborhoods and one hundred fifty bed ones for whom this has been home for nearly half a century mohammad cushion is angry he says tel aviv doesn't want him and his tribe here but it also refuses to allow them to return to their original village in the negev desert from where they fled after the creation of the state in one nine hundred forty eight when a lot of it is discrimination they give the settlers everything they want we're as we do not ask for anything besides laying in the land and they want to evacuated us and our children live surrounded by war it's like being in a prison one of them that they will grow up and will not make peace in the future

with an israeli side was a lot tel aviv complains the bed when camps were set up illegally without permits. and stand in the way of urban planning but critics say this is just an excuse for a land grab it makes me furious this dump site is going to harm the environment and it's going to harm the health of the people and they make it harder and harder to find a solution for the situation demolition orders have already been issued threatening to destroy the last remnants of bedwyn life in these hills and while israeli officials say the construction anyone if it happens at all is many years away it cuts to the heart of the israeli palestinian conflict which fundamentally is about the land and the fate of the people who live on a policy r.t. in the west bank. and a few minutes time it is time to break the set with abby not seen here announcing.

all those north korean scamps added again another nuclear test in north korea has made all the headlines trust me nuclear missiles are something worth being concerned over but haven't we heard this song and dance before all the way back in two thousand and two the north koreans according to the b.b.c. ruled that they have a secret weapons program and turned their young beyond nuclear reactor back on since then every once in a while a missile flies and people see the war is coming and silence then another test of some sort shock horror and then silence again with crew just uses this is a bargaining tool to get what they want and rather how wacky the north korean state may seem they understand that launching one or two missiles against united states means they probably won't even hit their target and in return their entire country will be turned into ash instantly this situation really isn't cause for concern until something big changes like the us not being in a position to support south korea japan or some other dramatic event that changes

the game like china giving up their support for the north korean side but for now the cycle just keep going on and on and about two years the same headlines will be back with the same fear will be back a lather rinse repeat but that's just my opinion. lol. you live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous bad luck i got so many i mean the town i know that i'm sitting seems really nice. and we're all for it so personally apologized and said. the worst you were going through the
