hello very good evening shoe it's eight pm tuesday night here in moscow my name is kevin always good to have your company all right then our top story russia is demanding answers as to why a three year old boy died allegedly at the hands of his adoptive mother in the united states maxime cruz when adds to that grim set of statistics twenty russian children have died so far after being adopted by americans only a few weeks ago a new law came into effect in russia banning u.s. citizens from bringing russian children into their families because of abuse well it gets across developments now with artie's maria for national maria you know the details were coming in the last twenty four hours again another sad story what we know about what happened to maxine what details will come through today indeed a terrible story in a very short life of mcphee we know that he was the youngest the eldest story of the two brothers born in russia's western region of course in a small town near the border with his twenty year both he and his younger sibling

whose name is q. real were adopted by the shadow family from. the united states having reportedly been abandoned by their russian mother both maxime and cureall flew with a new family from russia to taxes after which actually little was heard about the boys until monday when mick seems death was revealed this happened back on the twenty first adjourned readers know the details of only just come out why the delay well although. now almost a month ago when the station is still continues through early to say exactly what happened and why they have been such a delay in the announcement of the death of. scene but it's reported that mike seems parents called medics to the property but it's also reported that the dye the boy died had died before he actually could be treated. we also know that

on that day texas child protection services received a report on maxime's death which alleged physical abuse and neglect so he's got a younger brother as well as nick carroll was he that's what we asked russian foreign ministry's human rights envoy constant all go off and we can now hear what he has to say about that look a sense of that almost you could do concerning this. he lives now with his adoptive father the mother who certainly in this chateau is not allowed to live with the second child during the inquiry but nevertheless she can see here i think at least once a week this decision was taken by the us authorities if the investigation proves the mother is guilty in the death of the child the question will be really about the future of the second boy richardson. clearly russian authorities a re much concerned about the situation involved in the welfare of cureall and they're saying that he could be in danger right now again and one of the options

they're seeking easeful could have to come back to russia where he has some relatives and we're here in the several families from the boy's native region have already expressed their readiness to adopt a reel and now of course this is after introduction to do law here in russia that was introduced to stop americans also adopting children because of avoiding abuse of course it is missed the boat this time but the law is introduced no isn't it yes it is and another coincidence is that might seem could mean was adopted from the very same orphanage where eighteen month old dimitri leave before he was adopted in two thousand and eight and another tragic story he died just three months after he was adopted his adoptive father for gore he was in the car and. who was leaving him in a parking lot for nine hours and the temperatures were really high and it was very

hot inside the car and the dye and the boy died the man the doctor father was accused of the murder and he was facing up to ten years in jail but the court let him walk free and we also have been able to speak to. child children and i want to to hear what he has to think that. even unfortunately it's usually months other russian child has died anyway is that the american state 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 the right tens of thousands of russian adopted children were leaving in the us and we haven't got a clue about the whys of most of them. they're all right and they're not being able to listen to what if you want to share it. of course it's developing news story and . as inquiry into maxime staff expands absolutely my thanks for now we sure did

well over the us promised more thorough investigation of the abuse of russian children by their adoptive american families but mira reburn who's written widely on international adoption says there's no protection for adopted children in the u.s. and no control over 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 and they are them the more desirable children for adoption since most of those adopting are core kaizen and they simply prefer a child that looks like them so there there is high demand but russia need not commodify children and yield to that demand russians and any country can protect children better within their own country. they could order me to rochelle correia is probably full use of revolution after a sweeping victory secured with. the spanish channel spoke to the elected president does he get up for his final four year run at the helm craves especially vocal in helping the world's top whistle blow julian a son who's been ensconced in the ecuadorian embassy in london for exactly eight months now. sort of yes it does 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.

granted 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 so the recording interrogation and video by which they can do it would under twist this not about is if they really have to have terra gates here that. it was never even officially presented with charges if a stange is lawyer thousands of dollars on it's lucky at the european court and achieves a safe passage for sanchez to staying in the ecuadorian embassy the situation we finally resolved it is all now in your hands but there is a lot of arrogance involved here a neo colonialist sentiment to say they would like us to offer explanations as to why we granted him asylum wouldn't they why on earth there's more they even want us to but drunk on our decision we will never do this it puts all of them with us. and we invite you to watch out his full interview they could always newly reelected president here eighteen forty five g.m.t. . well correia upset the u.s.

britain and sweden of course for that decision to grant asylum to the wiki leaks founder back in august activist and radio show host solomon cummins cion told me 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 where has been outspoken against us new york colonization is a been an outspoken against the neo liberal agenda and us imperialism for so quite some time folks are done with this whole old model where we're going to continue to be can you know continuously in perpetuity dependent on us and it's these corporate interests that that those days are done hopefully the career is very well aware of the fact that the u.s. uses net national in dhamma for democracy and the national democratic institute as

an organization as they 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 one thousand and 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. the 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 residents of the northwest of the city causing damage but no casualties earlier a car blast in the syrian capital claimed at least two lives britain meantime has failed to convince e.u. foreign ministers to an arms embargo on weapons shipments to syrian rebels although they did take the surprise step of allowing other types of aid into the country the u.k. held the move as a success saying more talks will come in three months time now it's been striving with france for direct supplies to the opposition forces who investigators though say both the rebels and the government are committing war crimes and that those

guilty should face justice at the hague for the chronicles magazine foreign affairs editor thinks a criminal court is just a cover for a powerful outside force pulling the strings. the i.c.c. is not the whole room or any country to see the justice the power of the i.c.c. the prosecutors lacked 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 for the whole world is the find by the post-modern west so this is really a sequel 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 farce with

a sealed 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. the kids are not all right so we go to british classrooms we talk about that very soon tonight investigating why weapons and school bugs are becoming boringly widespread among pupils in the u.k. studies reveal that that's just ahead also reporting two for one of the most sensitive plots of land in the west bank and israel's construction plans in a key palestinian area so after this breaking. news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has

been seeing from the streets of canada. showing operation the day. wealthy british science. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer or a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on r t.

l again 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 urging for it to open up for more investment the u.k. delegation includes business leaders from more than a hundred companies several ministers and m.p.'s as well said to be the biggest ever team taken abroad by prime minister cameron claimed in europe britain were on track to double trade between them by twenty fifteen and that he wants the u.k. to become a new delhi's partner of choice now investors have been craving for india to free up regulation for years there's a lot of money at stake here professor serum charlier from the school of international affairs in his delhi told us he is skeptical though about cameron's promise of huge trade growth that his description of relations with india is quote special. what we would see here in india. and you get a good relationship that is going to look for the union and be used on mutual

benefits and interests between india and he's been seen as imported into france all along was here recently and it is almost like a bee line of. course there are trying to interfere it's been. interesting 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 buy leverage through going to 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 broad 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 himself said that we're only halfway through the global economic crisis if there be so then we're looking at two thousand and eighteen. the only statement we're 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 of course but in britain the disturbing number of pupils in class these days with knives and knuckle dusters a recent nationwide study shows four hundred children a day of being suspended because of their threatening behavior first met one youth worker for whom violence was a norm. 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 far 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 with weapons in persist schools 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 gun about to fire or 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 the 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 teaches by peoples over the past year is it's a shocking indication at the levels of finding the school 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 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 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 or 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 many theel politicians they 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. r.t. . should go through stories or go online to not have our amongst the a very many greece gets a v.o.i.p. visit it's not what you notice when you check yourself or don't believe me that

your french president is there but receiving a rather quiet because of media strikes caused the news blackout very low key back story there's online. banking on banksy. by the mysterious renowned street artist which was thought stolen at one point in the u.k. if you remember the headlines. that were surfaced in the united states is up. option two mystery and rubble at our home.

could have some other stories making headlines now today starting in yemen a military helicopters crashed in the capital killing at least nine people injuring dozens more aircraft was on the train for when it came down the number of casualties is expected to rise though because there are cops a plunged into a building contain shots and how it happened in change some now will be revolution which ousted previous leader began two years ago. placing striking workers from spanish airline iberia have clashed it at madrid's main port during attempts to clear a term of protesting crowds of beriah staff on a five day walkout at the moment against plans to cut a four thousand jobs spanish carrier merge with british airways back in two thousand and ten in protest of slave u.k. placed forces for the cuts the strikes are already grounded hundreds of flights and are expected to cost the struggling airline millions you. bet as well as president chavez has returned home after two months of treatment in cuba for cancer it now

has his unexpected comeback on twitter posting several messages and breaking the silence he's been keeping since early november the fifty eight year old's absence from his own inauguration ceremony prompted opposition outrage and demands for a new election. that launched from us thousands of rockets in the west bank's two largest cities in support of hunger strikers held in israeli jails israeli forces dispersed dozens of palestinians a blow. to road one city with some staging protests near a u.n. office in another demonstrators want the e.u. to take action for better treatment of the ailing prisoners and back their release public anger flared up over uncertainty. claims that in a critical condition of being wrongfully stated before this. despite growing anger in the west bank and the un calls to stop settlement expansion there israel is showing no intention of freezing its plans it seems late last year the israeli government pledged thousands more homes in the long disputed area known as the one the vital corridor between large palestinian areas

a middle east correspondent paul asli a reports next than 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 encounter and change facts on the ground israel is doing exactly that while also getting people out of the lance 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 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 mark palestinians fear it's part of a long term strategy to extend iran and build new israeli settlements it's not surprising this is not the first time that such a plan is submitted it is a burst of ongoing policy that has been going 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 a 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 make of 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 whereas we do not ask for anything besides laying in the land and they want to evacuated us there are children who live surrounded by walls and it was 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 bedwyn 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 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 point to see r.t. in the west bank causing great programs lined up for tonight up next in fact the prospects of a post dollar world maybe that much because it is here in just a couple of minutes after the break.
