state department says it's too early for conclusions after the death of a three year old russian boy in texas. died almost a month ago after allegedly being beaten by his adoptive mother however u.s. authorities claim they're still waiting for autopsy results as part of their investigation. is in the family's hometown. russian officials are outraged at yet another case of a death of a russian child living an adoptive family in the united states we're standing outside the home of allen and laura shadow parents two three year old max shadow known in russia as mean the three year old boy after suffering severe bruises to his legs head and internal organs had died in january this year just a few weeks after his third birthday right now his parents are not making any statements if you call their voicemail it says if you're a reporter or news agency we have no comment now according to russian officials the

investigation that they're conducting they're saying allegedly was the mother of the child that was behind this death they're saying not only was the child severely bruised but had also been fed for a long time anti-psychotic drugs meant to treat sky it's a free mia in adult drug that is sold by prescription in the united states we do know that the younger brother of much sodium t.d.o. continues living with the family here at the county sheriff's office an investigation is currently ongoing in cooperation with russian officials and local child protection services on the afternoon of january twenty first the local police department had received a call from a local hospital emergency room while a police officer was on his way there the three year old boy had already died unfortunately. this particular kind of calls for. every day. somebody has had a heart attack we don't put it. we have a child that's been injured in an a.t.v.

we don't put a pressure unless we start suspecting that something may be out of the ordinary. it wasn't a little bit later that we started getting some suspicions of what was going on and then all developed from talking to the parents the people that lived there he just took a little more time for us to develop. currently an autopsy as. underway and the police is not really releasing any further details in terms of what they can tell us about this case what we do know is according to them the autopsy results may come as soon as this afternoon to any time from a month from now tell us that there are no suspects in this case as of yet and no arrests have been made a mistake. after county texas. already posed from the foundation against child trafficking it says the whole adoption system in the u.s. is flawed and lacks supervision. now protection because you know this is just

assertion is is the national conference i mean the u.s. is at state level the company so it's not the u.s. state department can use interfere this is adults and children actually said like any other children in the u.s. like children love of their parents and so state level cannot interfere of that you're going to rush out who are in danger of an enormous are in in in child protection in supervised care summarized very by rights out there from officials from the state and want to child adults i don't think you very easily get that's out of five a family and it's basically like any other child so there's nobody supervising and there's nobody except enough for you are legally close enough and reforest will be a light sensor rush out there just rock the boat i don't hear the choir for i shall adoption agency for two thousand and one of those people fortunately for us to say anything to be critical about production one has to work on the children work with

the powerless and work towards reintegration into the family. not to aspiring to become an e.u. member has been urged by the council of europe to improve its record on press freedom the country is now the world leader in imprisoning journalists under the so-called antiterrorism nourse they allow authorities to detain suspects for long periods of time before being formally charged artie's or any collusion as this report. it's because of people like me near that turkey who is the number one spot in the world for the number of journalists in jail nadeem was arrested and held for two hundred days his charge up to mean classified documents and insulting government officials he suspects it was because he published a book investigating the death of another journalist which unnerved government officials. the main reason the government arrests journalists just to stifle voices of disagreement the best way to do that is to silence the journalists who speak out

against the government then their audience will also fall silent that's the main reason behind the imprisonment of journalists it's not just journalists you get put in jail doctors students labor union leaders the risk of people being thrown in jail in turkey. his words are backed by research from the committee for protection of journalists which claim turkey their cake was for journalists for writing anything their thirty's might consider on turkish on par with terrorists the problem with press freedom in turkey stands mainly from the legal framework it has to be reformed and it has to be fundamentally reformed in order for turkey to stop conflating terrorism with journalism turkish officials promised last november and proposal to parliament that laws be changed to improve the treatment of journalists at the time the country's news agency is quoted the turkish deputy

prime minister who responded to this report for us the number is not important we are greatly saddened even by one journalist being jailed for their rights in drawings journalism activities most jail reporters have been incarcerated over their legit connection to organic on a deeply secret anti government organisation most of whose members have never been identified and which exist many believe only in official papers turkish journalists . affiliation with a unicon is just one of many clever ways the government gets away with locking them up. the government says. press carte enough to qualify as journalists. and that's of course a primitive reply. which befits will. be a prime minister who set the seven on a night people. because. why because i know that had

prescott's journalism is about a popular career choice for young people in turkey the country boasts numerous newspapers and a plethora of to be channels but in the current circumstances every reports could end up being a one way ticket to jail. because i teach journalism in a university families of my students tell them go learn journalism but don't become journalists still a lot of young people feel it's a good way to express their view on the government the disagreement so it's a popular career but a dangerous one this c.p.g. says turkish officials use all their legislative powers not just incarcerate journalists but also scare them from reporting anything the government doesn't like a tactic that won't deter people like nadine. there's no fear my trial continues i may be out of jail but i'm still facing a fifteen year term and in turkey anything can happen the police can accuse me of anything but being a member of

a terror group for example someone can send them an anonymous letter mail use it as evidence and i'll be back behind bars. in turkey. i t. . now russia is currently hosting talks on the syrian conflict arab league chief now bill at arby's there along with the foreign ministers of five other arab nations moscow's top diplomat sergey lavrov says the situation has started moving from a dead end with both sides apparently thinking of opening up some sort of dialogue let's get more on this now from artie's eagle some positive comments there can we really expect to see the syrian opposition holding some sort of peace talks with the regime in damascus. earlier the leader of the syrian opposition for the first time said that they're really to negotiate with the government but only on condition that the release one hundred sixty thousand prisoners will be claimed have been jailed because of their political views the government on its head and said that it's ready to talk but without any preconditions or clearly there are

still major sticking points including the feet of president assad but russia's foreign minister says that there is room for potential progress now moscow has been saying that it's not taking sides in this conflict but is calling on the international community to require equal pressure on them in order to begin a political process in syria and the foreign ministry says the end of the arab league has great potential. in the meantime of the situation in syria continues to deteriorate and on tuesday russian emergencies ministry's plane evacuated around one hundred russian and c.i.s. citizens and there's also speculation that several russian navy ships have been sent to the mediterranean to assist possible further evacuations. ok that's. going to thank you very much for that that was from live from moscow thanks for your time now when it comes to the methods used to become the world's

leading superpower it seems anything goes but as we reveal later washington's strategies could soon be more about loyalty to the stars and stripes rather than just the military might. and a new method of making a living tissue called bio printing could be of great medical benefit but a danger in the wrong hands we explain why in a few minutes. wealthy british science. is not on. the. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy. you think you understand it. and realize that everything is.

welcome to the big picture. good leverage surely. to build a most sophisticated. fortunately. mission to teach you. to care about humans and. this is why you should care only. now what's the greatest to secure america's future global influence is it the military troops or drones perhaps well it could be something as simple as education . expects. the u.s.

is investing in potential for invaders by educating them in america convinced that back in their home countries when the time comes most of them will side with u.s. interests impair our future generations of political leaders who've had a positive american experience and they are more likely to be global partners libya's mahmoud jibril could be one example having studied in the u.s. he went on to become the head of libya's transition government he's now the leader of one of the country's biggest political parties there's little doubt which country he would favor when it comes to dividing lucrative oil deals in the future u.s. foreign service officers had their eye on him even before the revolution broke out a leaked diplomatic cable from november two thousand and nine written by the u.s. ambassador to libya gene credits described mr general as quote a serious interlocutor who quote unquote gets the u.s. perspective and of course mr gibril is not the only one who gets the u.s.

perspective i'm not going to measure how many kids were really just on a program what i'm going to do is look at where they are five years later and you know what ninety two percent of the people who go on u.s. government exchanges go on to work in civil society positions in the parliament or in an ngo sariah took a two year course in public diplomacy in two thousand and six at the university of south in california in this particular program this was. every single lecture has a state department member that's. so you know that you're not really learning public relations. how to implement. the u.s. trade and development agency an offshoot of the state department's u.s.a. id claims that what they call aid is actually investment agencies deputy director says every one dollar they invest they get eight dollars back in u.s.

exports america's officials maintain that it's hard to overestimate the benefits of investing in public diplomacy the investment i do not call it spending it's an investment it's absolutely an investment and there's a return on investment. and it's very hard to quantify that return completely but i can tell you that you could quantify troops but you don't have to send somewhere so i never pursued a career with that training she were seek to. bring other countries i mean i may not be fond of the government in iran but i support it's not pretty and i was sitting last. lectures and people saying how do we think the market i'd be undermined the government so for me it was a real challenge to see the programs through this age it was. definitely

the soviet union we thank you two thousand and seven when i was in the program they have already started the push towards africa diplomacy is good business as it's been made clear by the state department time and time again getting foreign leaders and their advisors to think in english and to subsequently favor the united states in their policy is much cheaper than bombing their country so the state department will certainly be more forceful in their efforts at exercising some power in washington i'm going to shake them. struggling to get its economy back on track the u.k. is knocking on india's door it is the british prime minister is the day in new delhi where he's looking to boast a trying time david cameron says he wants a special partnership between the two nations and also become the first serving pm to voice regret over one of the british empire bloodiest cameron will lay a wreath at the scene of an a tourist massacre of unarmed civilians despite these moves new delhi appears

cautious over any potential new partnership the indian premier expressing concerns over a number of issues including a deal for british built helicopters and the u.k.'s visa regime professor three children from the school of international affairs believes cameron is not facing up to the reality of the situation. it's what we would like to see here. and you get a good relationship that is on a level footing and be done with benefits and interests between india he's been seen as important to our friends all along was here recently and there is almost like a bee line of course there are trying to pull in europe especially be going to consumption because the condominium most of us in europe as you know has been completely suffered by austerity so on one hand they're trying to promote bilateral trade and expanded on the other hand you know the shrinking of the state under these conservative policies is not going to help them revive to the groot and in the

absence of growth to be honest you know we 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 as the only time when 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. more international news the prime minister hamadi jabari has stepped down after his own ruling islamic party rebuffed i finally left it to form a new government that is expected to deepen the political crisis there's been a stalemate over the drafting of a new constitution for more than a year to barley called for a new cabinet after the assassination of an opposition leader sparked a fresh wave of unrest in the country has struggled to find political stability since the arab spring revolution in twenty eleven. scuffles between police and the

gas industries have gathered in london for the international petroleum week while some experts suggest tensions in the middle east are inflated prices there are also concerns that the sanctions on iran could be increasing costs for the can cime is r.t. sarah ferguson explains. thousands of oil and gas professionals from around the world have gathered here in london for the annual international petroleum week listened to talks from senior industry figures last year and the buzz around sanctions on iran dominated the talks these sanctions were supposed to bring iran to the negotiating table over their nuclear program that the sun and the sanctions could have come at a worse time a loss of production in south sudan in yemen in the north sea and now in syria has been driving prices higher for the reigning queen still in demand in asia with the u.k.'s problem with millions of home struggling with fuel poverty being echoed all

across the european union right now is it the european consumer has been hardest hit by these sanctions we've been speaking to some industry insiders to find out what they think so obviously you've got the private companies then sort of carrying out political decisions that having very tough economic or would he say today looks like they all will and gas companies sort of in bed with the government i don't i don't see that we are taught i think the politicians around the world have to make the decisions companies have to get on with business technology business commercial business right now always the way with iran oil being used as a political weapon and i wouldn't use that sort of phrase i mean i think it's always the case as years go by governments around the world surpluses on trade and other things become part of the company's job is to apply the best technology to the best and the best commerce to comply with whatever the environment is at the time to get the best deal for can seem is ultimately ultimately that's the job yes

it can seem is it saying right now there are gas and oil prices through the roof of the best think yes you're right on the best thing we can do is invest so i unfortunately the age of easy oil and cheap oil i think is past but we're finding more oil in the technology is getting better and better what we've got to do is to ensure it doesn't keep on the best thing that we can do is to go. technology deployed get the best work practices get the financing and get additional oil production because that's the best thing the companies can do to dampen say it right the potential rising prices thank you very much for joining us thank you sir sanctions on iran were triggered by western claims the country seeking to build an atomic bomb r.t. caught up with the man many suggest prevented a u.s. strike on terrans controversial nuclear program back in two thousand and seven the full interview later today but second is a quick preview of. the judgments that we made was that it was a political decision to halt the weaponization portions of its program or continue

to fizzle material fizzle material was the pacing element is that the. at the time required to go from physical material to or. if we did it was shorter than a dime to get fissile material on but they've halted it. for terminology we used was because of international scrutiny and pressure but that sense it was a political decision it was a matter of a technical problem. or a change in geo political situation they still lived in a tough neighborhood. that they could turn this program back on again at any time and we also said in that release part we weren't sure we would know if they turned it back on.

now this sounds like an odd question but can you print an extra copy of my liver police in a few decades it is possible scientists will be able to do just that a method called by printing uses real cells that can be put in a special printer cartridge to produce a living tissue but for all its medical benefits the area might hold some future threats as artie's marina portnoy expects. major universities corporate laboratories and biomedical engineers are printing experimental heart valves need cartilage is bone implants kidney cells and even healing tissue now three d. bio printing essentially squirts ink of the living cells to build up to shoot structure eventually biomedical engineer is hoped to print out taylor tissue suitable for surgery and entire organs that can be used in transplants experts say that ideally they would like to create organs for those that are on lists waiting for organs and possibly you know in life circumstances in dire life

circumstances so pioneers of this bio printing believe it will be a huge benefit to to the public and to the medical community to i could essentially use photographs of you and then create a three d. image of you which is quite scary because with these three d. printing we don't know how far will go how far will develop and to know that a stranger can find a piece of your hair or your cigarette but if you smoke or a glass that you drank out of or even a few pictures of you and create a three d. facial structure of you is is a bit terrifying i mean forget about surveillance and privacy issues knowing that a stranger could do something like that view it doesn't mean it doesn't keep a sense of calm within the public and this is just the start of it who knows how it

will develop five years from now maybe a person can be cloned or a parent person can be replicated between their photographs between the hair and their d.n.a. and between them and also add to that the virtual identity that most people have created for themselves online through social media through uses of skype through e-mail essentially there's a footprint of someone everywhere be through your hair or your activity online and that could essentially be duplicated with all this new software and technology that's pioneering right now. interesting stuff now you can head to r.t. dot com for more on the stories we are covering plus everlasting social networking a brand new online app or soon a live twitter he uses to keep posting from beyond the grave check out exactly how on our website and there are also the death of russia's mafia godfather grandpas son means a serious reshuffle in the criminal world find out why gangster get togethers into
