russia demands justice for the tragic death of a three year old russian boy allegedly killed by his adoptive mother in texas the u.s. state department seems reluctant to cooperate with the investigation and. they would like us to offer an explanation of why we grant him asylum why on earth newly reelected ecuadorian president rafael correa tells r.t. he won't back down from the west after being pressured over granting asylum to whistleblower sons. with reports that up to four children a day are caught with weapons in british schools party takes a look at how the worrying trend is being tackled.

broadcasting live from our studios here in moscow this is r.t. i'm kerry johnston now russia is demanding answers as to why three year old boy died allegedly at the hands of his adoptive mother in the united states maxine because men had to the grim statistic of twenty russian children who died after being adopted by americans a few weeks ago a new door came into effect in russia banning u.s. citizens from bringing russian children into their families because of abuse will cost about eight months for r.t. now here in the studio is very often national a memory of what we know about maksim short life yeah it's short life indeed very tragic story all that scene was the eldest of two brothers born in that scoff region in the west of russia right next to the border with this tornado and both he and his youngest sibling killed real were adopted by the family from the. united

states having been abandoned by their russian mother mcphee and real. flew with the new family from russia to texas last october and after that little almost nothing was heard about them until monday when it seems tragic death was revealed but of course the circumstances of the couple weeks the journey twenty first we know exactly what happened what were the circumstances while the investigation is continuing right now but it's reported that maxime's parents called medics to their property but that the boy had died before he could actually be treated on that day texas child protection services received a report and look seems death which alleged physical abuse and neglect full supervision or put simply a neglect and where is his younger brother curial this is the question we are asked to we asked that the foreign ministry's human rights and worker center there. truly are very concerned about carroll's welfare let's take a look at what he has to say about that. concerning the second

he lives with his adoptive father the mother who surname is chateau is not allowed to live with the second child during the inquiry but nevertheless she can see him i think at least once a week this decision was taken by the u.s. authorities if the investigation proves the mother is guilty in the death of the child the question will be raised about the future of the second boy. one of the options russian authorities are seeking is for korea to come back to russia where he has some relatives still and of course all of this off the d.n.a. yakovlev door which was banning adoption by. americans are banning americans for adopting russian children i should say. because me it was adopted from the same often age where eighteen month old jacqueline flipped before his adoption in two thousand and eight he died just three months later his adoptive father forgot he

was in the back of the car leaving him in a parking lot for nine hours in fifty degree heat his father was accused of murder which carries a ten years a jail term but the court let him walk free we have been able to speak to the children's rights on woodsman and he has explained why russia is taken such a firm stance in this case let's take a look. even unfortunately it's usually months of a russian child has died in the way of 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 do not inform us fast enough or the information is not reliable there are 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 what if you want to show tonight. of course we have across developments as inquiry into makes a mess death expands ok tragic cases indeed thanks so much and i thank you.

still with this the u.s. promised some more thorough investigations of the abuse of russian children by their adoptive american families the mirror rebin who's written widely on international adoption says there is no protection for adult children in the u.s. and the control of preventing abuse adopted children are no more protected here in the united states whether they're internationally or domestically adopted no matter what country they were adopted from once they are adopted into a family they are treated as if they are the same as they were born into that family and there is no greater protection afforded any adopted child than there is any other child so it's only if abuse is reported there is a high demand for children for adoption and the demand is great for russian children in particular because they are caucasian and most often blond haired and

blue eyed and they are little more desirable children for adoption since most of those adopting are core cation and they simply prefer a child that looks like them so there there is high demand but russian need not commodify children and yield to that demand russians and any country can protect children better within their own country and i could during that lead their f.l. career has promised four more years of revolution after a sweeping victory secured him a third time on sunday spanish channel spoke to the reelect president as he gave up his final four year run at the helm correll was especially vocal on helping the world's top whistleblower juden the sausage he's been in the ecuadorian embassy in london for exactly eight months now. 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 the problem will be solved if the u.k. grants are safe passage that hasn't been any intention to disrupt the prosecution process according to the swedish justice system in spite of the nearest misinformed allegations 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 it herself julian assad was never even officially presented with charges if a songes lawyer goes on is 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 backtrack on our decision but we will never do this or this will put up with us. on late watch

ati's full interview with ecuador's newly reelected president tear at eight hundred forty five g.m.t. . korea set the us britain and sweden with that decision to grant asylum to the we can expound back in august activist and radio show host element comes home says the ecuadorian president is enjoying popularity at home partly because of policies which stand up to the white house 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 is many outspoken against some of the neo liberal agenda and u.s. imperialism versus 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 the u.s. uses net national in downward for democracy and the national democratic institute as organizations that go in and their their primary role is to destabilize democratically elected governments and so it's and to topple them as ronald reagan said in ninety three when he started the national debt endowment for democracy he said he wanted them to operate like the cia but just overtly and covertly syrian official says two mortars have exploded near one of president assad's three palaces in damascus the blast struck the southern wall of the residence in northwest of the city was in damage but no casualties earlier a card lost at a syrian capital claimed at least two knives. britain meanwhile has failed to convince the e.u. foreign ministers to ease an arms embargo on weapons shipments to syrian rebels though they did take the surprise step of allowing other types of aid into the

country u.k. hailed the move as a success say more talks will come in three months time has been striving with france for direct arms supplies to opposition forces us to gates is the same but the rebels and the government talk committing war crimes and the those guilty should face justice at the hague for the chronicles magazine foreign affairs editor thanks. for teens just to cover for a powerful outside force pulling the strings. the i.c.c. is not the forum for any country to see the justice the power of the i.c.c. prosecutor to act depends on the will or the political masters so ultimately it's a political court and the foundation of the entire and if it. is the ideology of the universal political and legal culture the whole world is defined by the post-modern west so this is really a particularly 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 pass 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. well coming up the kids are not all right certainly not in british close friends investigate why weapons in school coming widespread among pupils in the u.k. as a study reveals a catalogue of violence that's just ahead. and we report from one of the most sensitive plots of land in the west bank and israel's construction plans and the key palestinian area. after the break.

ok back here with our team struggling to get its economy growing the u.k. is now knocking on india's trade doors prime minister david cameron is in the british former colony hedging it opened up for more investment the u.k. delegation includes business leaders from more than one hundred companies several ministers and m.p.'s what's said to be the biggest ever attain taken abroad by prime minister cameron claimed india and britain were on track to double trade between them by twenty fifteen now he wants the u.k. to become a debt is part of choice investors have been craving for india to three out regulations for years austria m.h.l. yeah on the agenda our school of international affairs in new delhi is skeptical about cameron's promise of huge trade growth and its description of relations with india as a special that's what we would like to see here. and you get a good relationship that is on a level for dunedin and based on mutual. interest between india he's been seen as

reporting throughout france all along was here recently and it is almost like a bee line of our major force they're trying to call good will in here especially because of the domestic 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 trigger an experiment on the other hand you know the shrinking of the street 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 will manufacture and export goods or services so i think we have to be realistic i mean the governor of the bank of england himself said that we're only halfway through the global economic crisis is that we saw then we are looking at two thousand and eighteen. the only statement we are going 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. school should be a safe place in britain a disturbing number of pupils in class armed with knives and knuckle dusters recent nationwide study shows four hundred children a day are being suspended because of their threatening behavior sarah first met a youth worker for whom violence was the norm. teaching about certain things you probably end up in a dead end job or in prison you'd 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 christian 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 remember we're always searching the school and

. gone to the school. and i see this person was shot down and lots of 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 more than four thousand assaults on teachers by peoples even 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 thing to 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 thirty nine hundred ninety six after school stabbing founded patrick gregan has been helping young people tackle gun culture and violence a member could come. up to me when a bulletproof vest underneath a 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 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 to gun and knife crime and you can't so we have to address it earlier the problem of violence in schools

is nothing 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 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 it's done to address the problem the children who attend these schools will continue to learn these lessons. so if there are thirty. stories r.t. dot com is covering right now i agree schizo v.i.p. visit but not that you'd notice the french president is there but receiving a rather quiet welcome as a media story has caused
