world news and much more you're with kerry johnston. rush is demanding answers as to why a three year old boy died eventually at the hands of his adoptive mother in the united states. to the grim statistic of twenty russian children who died after the doctored by americans a few weeks ago a new door came into effect in russia burning u.s. citizens from bringing russian children into their families because of abuse across about events for artie's maria for national joins us now here in the studio maria tell us what do we know about maxine short life yes indeed it's very short life unfortunately mcclim is the elder of children born in the scot free of russia

russia's western region both he and his brother whose name is real were adopted by the château family having reportedly been abandoned by their russian mother he flew with his adoptive parents from russia to taxes in october two thousand and twelve after which little or almost nothing was heard about him and his brother there are however some forty graphs i hope we can see the now. they surfaced since his death on twenty first of january in why don't we it is claimed scraped and broken blood vessels are visible ront his eye would happen. so what actually happened on june twenty first and to us about that well have been the suggestion is continue right now and of course it's too early to say exactly what happened on january twenty first but it's reported that maxim's parents and doctors parents called medics to the property but that the boy had died before he could

actually be treated on that day texas child protection services received a reporter nick simms death which alleged physical abuse and neglect and neglectful suppresion or simply neglect where is his brother right now. that is a very good question right now curial is in america and he is with his father of course while the investigation is continuing his adoptive mother has been suspended from living with him although we are hearing that he is allowed to see him once a week and we spoke to foreign minister human rights envoy mr dog who explained that the case is ungoliant and that child protection legislation is actually been observed and of course this comes just weeks after the d.m.a. yakovlev law which bans americans from adopting russian children doesn't it yes you're absolutely right and. i mean it was adopted from that very often urge where

jackal of leaves before he is adoption in two thousand and eight also he also died . just three months later after his adoptive father forgot him in a locked car in a parking lot for nine hours and fifty degrees he is became just too hot inside in the boy died. and was accused of the murder and face up to ten years in prison but walked free actually and. we have been able to speak to children's rights and he has explained why russia has taken such a firm stance here in this case. unfortunately it's usually months russian child has. the american side informs us about it and one case it was five years after a boy died and that's how our cooperation with us works they did not inform us fast enough or the information is not reliable 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. of course it's very important to stress that it's a developing news story and we'll be updating us on this and a new detail. ok very tragic cases indeed ok very thanks a lot for joining us here in the studio. also with this earlier the u.s. have promised a more thorough investigations of the abuse of russian children by their adoptive american parents but mirror or even who's written widely on international adoption says the long standing problem still hasn't been properly addressed. sort of yes it does see him in a practical sense 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 a safe passage moderately but hasn't been any intention to disrupt the prosecution process according to the swedish justice system in spite of the numerous

misinformed allegations see if they send a prosecutor to ecuador's embassy in britain and record the interrogation on video which they can do it would under twist this not about is if they really have to interrogate him that julian assad was never even officially presented with charges if lawyer goes on it's lucky at the european court and achieved a safe passage for son to staying in the ecuadorian embassy the situation we finally resolved it is all now in your hands but there is a lot of parents involved here neocolonial sentiment too they would like us to offer explanations as to why we granted him asylum why on earth there's more that they even want us to but track on our decision we will never do this or this will put up with us and apologise that i was of course a report about ecuadorian career as promised more years of revelation after a sweeping victory they can use their time on sunday and still will that upset the u.s. and britain and sweden with that decision to grant asylum to the wiki leaks founder

julian assange back in august but to bestow on the radio show host solomon. door and president is enjoying popularity at home partly because of policies which stand up to the my tats. 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 from the people of people who eventually are the ones who are going to be casting their ballots during these elections there has been outspoken against us on new york colonization is been an outspoken against the neo liberal agenda and us imperialism first 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 depended on us and it is corporate interests that those days are done hopefully careers very well aware of the fact that u.s.

uses net national in down with for democracy and the national democratic institute as organizations that go in and their their primary role is to destabilize democratically elected governments and to it and to topple them as ronald reagan said in ninety three when he started the national debt in dollars for democracy he said he wanted them to operate like the cia but just overtly and covertly struggling to get its economy growing a u.k. is now knocking on india's trade doors prime minister david cameron is in the british former colony and sing it to open up more investment in the u.k. delegation includes the business leaders from more than one hundred companies several ministers and he's what's said to be the biggest ever team taken abroad by prime minister cameron claimed enduring britain were on track to double trade between them i twenty fifteen and he wants the u.k. to become delhi's partner of choice and west has had been craving for india to free up making nations for yes this is from holy half an inch in dallas school of

international affairs and debbie is skeptical about cameron's promise of huge trade growth and description of relations with india as a special. what we would like to see here. and you get a good relationship that is on a level footing in and based on mutual benefits and interests between india he's been seen as invite him to france all along was here recently and it is almost like a bee line of. course there are trying to ruin here especially because of the mystic consumption based economy most of us and europe as you know has been completely suffered by austerity so on one hand they're trying to promote bilateral trade and expanding on the other hand you know the shrinking of the state under these conservative policies is not going to help them revive the group and in the absence of brought you don't have these corporations going to manufacture and export goods or services so i think we have to be realistic i mean the governor of

the bank of england when king himself said that we're only halfway through the global economic crisis if that is so then we are looking at two thousand and eighteen is the only statement we want to come out of this crisis so until then i think most of these targets are mostly aspirational and i would be surprised if these are not meant. well coming out the kids are not all right certainly not in british close rooms investigate why weapons in school bags of becoming aware of the widespread among pupils in the u.k. to study reveals a local violence that's just ahead. monthly reports from one of the most sensitive lots of london the west bank and israel's construction thugs in a key palestinian area so off the break.

he is he it's. easy to. get off sometimes you see a story and it seems so for lengthly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else and you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard welcome to the big picture.

live.

i. live. live. live. live. live. live. live thank you without. school it should be

a safe place but in britain a disturbing number of pupils in class not just as a recent nationwide study shows four hundred children a day are being suspended because of the threatening behavior sarah first met a youth worker for whom violence at school was an amenity. settlings 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 teaching them to say anything about 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 a court with weapons in persists cools guns knives and knuckle dusters just some of the items confiscated by police are. searching the school and.

gone to the school. gone. around to see this first shotgun about to fire schools are supposed to be a safe secure environment where the focus is on education the figures 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 playground can be a dangerous place but it's not only the pupils who are subject to violence in london alone this being moved in four thousand assaults on teachers by peoples over the past year is it's a shocking indication of the levels of violence in schools it becomes normal to. get involved in this you get sucked into this last laugh into violence is the best approach. is it's just 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 set up in one thousand 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 a hundred and 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 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 and you can't so we have to address. 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 for 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 say it's people's if they suspect they're carrying a weapon then he thiel 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 by. r.t. . what are some of the stories r.t. dot com is covering right now. but you notice the french president is there but receiving a rather quiet welcome here strike news blackout very low key that's online.

venezuela's president chavez has returned home after two months of treatment in cuba the chance that you know this is unexpected come back on twitter posting simple messages and breaking the silence he's been keeping since early november fifty eight rolls absence from his own inauguration ceremony from to the opposition to outrage and demands for a new election. thousands of rioted in the west bank's two largest cities in support of hunger strikers held in israeli jails israeli forces dispersed dozens of palestinians who blocked a road in one city some staging a protest there a un office and another demonstrators one the e.u. to take action for better treatment of prisoners and their release public anger flared up over uncertainty over their fate and claims in a critical condition had been wrongfully detained. well despite brewing anger in the west bank and u.n. calls to stop settlement expansion there israel is showing their intention of

freezing its plans made last year the israeli government pledged thousands more homes in the long disputed area and there is even one vital corridor between the large palestinian areas middle east correspondent wallace there reports on how the construction could prove fatal for any potential palestinian state it's 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 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

encountered change facts on the ground of what israel is doing exactly that so we're also getting people out of the land 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 if plans go ahead and the israelis extend the syria 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 mark 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 and 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 a hundred and 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 when a lot of them it is discrimination they give the settlers everything that they want to them and 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 walls it's like being in a prison one of them that they will grow up and will not make peace in the future

with the israeli side was a lot tel aviv complains the bed when camps were set up eagerly 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 and 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 ash policy r.t. in the west bank but on the way in the program saying in the new year on the railways russian style.
