international news and comments twenty four hours a day this is. now 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 doing similar cases where moscow is demanding severe punishments for the death of maxine. quoting two russian diplomats the u.s. state department has been reluctant to cooperate with investigation. reports now. 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 or manslaughter with it admissible leniency. given to the unfortunate leads usually months of the russian child has done to the american side informs us about it and want. it was five years after a little he died and that's how our cooperation with us works if they do not informants fast enough or the information is not reliable the right tens of thousands of russian adopted children are leaving in the us and we haven't got

a clue about the lies of most of them there is no confirmation that they're all right and they're not being to be related to what if you want to share it's an investigation into the death of maxime is still ongoing to find out greater details or mere or even the author of several books on international adoption says despite washington's promise to better investigate the abuse of russian children by their american adopted families the long standing problem still hasn't been properly addressed this is been the ongoing problem and what russia has been demanding from 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 children and we don't know how many other children are. living with abuse you know that haven't

died from it. could those that lead their efile career is celebrating having secured their third term as the country's president colleagues for marty's expanded child spoke to the new the reelected leader among other issues he was asked about his take on the future of the world's top whistleblower and wiki leaks and it's a judge in the son's remains holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london. sort of yes it does and that but i think that's for the practical implication of julian assange the situation is up to europe to resolve it the problem will be solved if the u.k. grants or the safe passage and that hasn't been any intention to disrupt the prosecution process according to the swedish justice system in spite of the nearest misinformed allegations that if they send a prosecutor to ecuador's embassy in britain and record the interrogation on video which they can do it would on twist this not about is if they really have to interrogate him that julian assad was never even officially presented with charges

if a songes lawyer goes on it's lucky at the european court and achieved a safe passage for songe to staying at the ecuadorian embassy the situation we finally resolved it is all now in europe's hands but there is a lot of arrogance involved here a neo colonialist sentiment too they would like us to offer explanations as to why we granted him asylum why on earth there's more they even want us to but truck on our decision but we will never do this it puts all of them with us activist and radio show host solomon commits long says qur'an is 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 us unconditionally are not going to find support on 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 new

york colonization has been an outspoken against the neo liberal agenda and u.s. imperialism for quite some time folks are done with this whole all model where we're going to continue to be you know continuously improve ritually dependent on us and it is corporate interests that those days are done hopefully. now as the u.k.'s relations with europe turning christly sour the government there appears to be seeking an alternative markets to support its debt stricken economy british prime minister is on a three day visit to its former colony india bid to woo officials and investors david cameron has called on new delhi to cut regulations and make tape encourage stronger trade ties. the pm says britain wants to become india's economic partner choice as it comes as well it's also seeks to expand its ties to the right the growing asian heinecke just last week president francois hollande was in india to hammer out the deals some observers say london will face challenges in the winning

open you daddy. the size of the delegation certainly shows the aggressive nature of the far right mr cameron's drive to seek trade abroad right now prime minister cameron is not the best friend all the rest of the you especially france and germany so i think the interests of the two countries france and britain are quite separate 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

a country accused of gross human rights violations has allegedly been three million pounds worth of small arms ammunition from britain that's despite the asian countries record of mistreating minorities and suppressing separatism antiwar activist jim brown believes the u.k. is placing geopolitics and human rights. because there's the geo strategic 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 and good relations with the shura langkow 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 arms trade is a very hot. profitable geo politically important business and that

the business which gauged in arms sales in general and in sri lanka in particular. still to come few this playing with fire. almost close calls. i see it is first a little shotgun and lots of fire lit. up for children a day with weapons in u.k. schools. we don't know how the worrying trend is being dealt with. and does israel continues its push for more settlements reports more controversial area or not and it is the one that's threatening to kill off any hopes of the fall of two state solution.

he is he has. to. say. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture.

without. a few textbooks a lunch box and a dangerous weapon quite what you do expect to find in a british school bag sadly for u.k. parents a recent study shows an increasing number of pupils with knives and other weapons in british schools so forth examines the figures and investigates the. things 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 carrot is not for no for. a stark insight into the reality facing some of britain's schoolchildren despite having one of the best education systems in the world the latest research estimates that up to full peoples a day with weapons in british schools guns knives and knuckle dusters just some of the items confiscated by police are always searching the school and.

gone to the school. going. on about the fire schools are supposed to be a safe secure environment where the focus is on education the thing as it were built 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 playground can be a dangerous place but it's not only the pupils 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 finding the school becomes normal to. get involved in this you gay. sucked into this last laugh into violence the best approach. is it's just that waking up in the morning and going

for run yeah after a while it becomes normal to stephen is now working with us charity x. lp set up in one thousand nine hundred ninety six after a school stabbing founded patrick we gain has been helping young people tackle gun culture and violence i remember a kid coming up to me when a bullet proof vest underneath his school uniform he said i'll be dead by thursday according to patrick it's early intervention which is key in 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 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 to gun and knife crime. so we have to address it earlier the problem of violence in schools is not

a new one it's not something you're likely to read about in a school prospectus and it's particularly acute in the countries deprived in a city. 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 all they teach is 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. r.t. . are still in britain with a handful of sports stadiums across the u.k. already being named after. arab companies petro dollars from gulf states are continuing to rebrand the country on the website find out which of the u.k.'s

universal political and legal culture the whole world is defined by the post-modern west so this is really a signal which is supposed to hide the essence this project and it is to treat bashar and his government as members of joint. enterprise so i think this is just a choreographed toss to conceal the fact 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. so more international news in brief now but they send striking workers from spain's iberia airlines have clashed in madrid and said ports in attempts to clear a terminal of protesting crowds barbera staff announced a five day walkout against plans to cut four thousand jobs a spanish carrier merged with british airways in twenty ten protesters are now

a policy or investigates. its rugged and remarkable 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 tel aviv fast track to 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 cannot change fact 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 commodore between the large palestinian cities in the west bank and of plans go ahead in 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 part of 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 bedouins 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. it is discrimination they give the settlers everything they want whereas we do not ask for anything besides staying in the land and they want to evacuated us our children live surrounded by walls it's like being in a prison one of them they will grow up and will not make peace in the future with the israeli side us a lot tel aviv complains the bedwyn 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 it policy r t in the west bank. well coming up find out why some russians choose to celebrate new yeah on an overnight train stay with us where. do we speak your language anything about the will not advance. your music programs and documentaries in spanish what matters to you breaking news
