and i welcome you watching r.t. live from moscow with meat and dairy farm now our top story almost a month after the death of a three year old russian boy in texas local police still continuing their investigation russian officials believe maxime could mean was abused by his adoptive american mother but u.s. authorities say they're still waiting for a topsy results artes and 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 alan and laura shadow parents two three year old max shadow known in russia as a 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 voice mail 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 adults a drug that is sold by prescription in the united states we do know that the younger brother of much steam 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 these kind of this particular kind of calls for. every day. somebody has had a heart attack we don't put pressure. 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 as according to them the autopsy results may come as soon as this afternoon to any time from a month from now please tell us that there are no suspects in this case as of yet and no arrests have been made and stars are churkin party after county texas. already post from the foundation against child trafficking says the whole adoption system in the u.s. is flawed and lacks supervision health protection because you know this is. just.

the national company i mean the u.s. state level the company so it's not the u.s. state department in the fear. adults of children actually said like any other children in the u.s. like children of their forums and so the state level cannot interfere if you're going in russia who are in your homes are in child protection supervised care. by rights out there from official from the safe water child abduction and up thank you very. well private family like any other child and so there's nobody supervising and there's nobody not for you anything you post adoption rate for. russia very often but i don't view the parents by the. adoption agency. and none of these people. say anything about you know

one has to work for the children work with the power and work towards reintegration into the family. now turkey 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 law they are now authorities to detain suspects for long periods of time before being formally charged. reports. it's because of people like me near that turkey holds 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 opting in 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 who get put in jail doctors students labor union leaders risk or people being thrown in jail in turkey. his words are backed by research from the committee for protection of journalists which claim turkeys are gay glaus for journalists for writing anything their thought is might consider an 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 a proposal to parliament that laws be changed to improve the treatment of journalists at the time the country's news agencies 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 and drawings journalism activities jail reporters have been incarcerated or they're legit connection to organic on a deeply secret anti government organization most of whose members have never been identified and which exists many believe only in official papers turkish journalists say a. where they're going to go on is just one of many clever ways the government gets away with locking them up. the government says. prescott who qualify as journalists. that's of course a primitive reply. which befits will. be a prime minister who said seven on a night people. because. prison by 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 report 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 their disagreement 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 nadeem. 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 of 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 it even goes cold. russia's foreign minister says continuing use of force in the syrian conflict will not lead to a satisfactory conclusion so a lover of made the statement while hosting talks with the arab league chief. and foreign ministers of five other arab nations moscow says the situation has started moving from a dead end with both sides apparently thinking thinking of opening up dialogue article peace can offer as more earlier the leader of the syrian opposition for the first time was said that their religion negotiate with the government but only on condition that the release one hundred sixty thousand prisoners will be claimed to have been jailed because of their political views the government on its said that it's ready to talk work without any preconditions 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 moscow has been saying that it's not taking sides in this conflict but is calling on the international community to acquire equal pressure on them in order to begin a political process in syria and the foreign ministry says the inverse of the arab league has great potential in the meantime of the situation in syria continues to deteriorate you know it's usually russian emergencies ministry's between 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 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 strategies could soon be more about loyalty to the stars and stripes rather than just about military might and a new method of making a living tissue called bio printing could be a great medical benefit but a danger in the wrong hands we explain why in just

a few minutes. do we speak your language or not advance. your music programs and documentaries in

spanish what matters to you. a little tonnage of angola's stories. for you here. in the spanish to find out more visit. welcome back now what's the greatest to secure america's future global influence is that the military troops will try to sway to pays and a quest for a foreign regime change educating potential leaders within the walls if u.s. schools is another approach washington has mastered can each can investigate. 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 leave us 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 n g o 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 park remember this. so you know that you're not really learning what we. think how to implement. the u.s. trade and development agency an offshoot of the state department's usa id claims that what they call aid is actually investment the agency is deputy director says for 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 the 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 it in troops that you don't have to send somewhere so i never pursued a career with the training she were sieved. it was interfering other countries i mean i may not be fond of the government in iran but i support a hundred percent it's not pretty and i was sitting last lectures and people saying how do we think the market i would be undermined the government so for me it was a real challenge to see the programs through this iraq which it was their lead definitely the soviet union we thank you two thousand and seven when i was in the program they had already started the push towards africa diplomacy is good business as i've 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 soft power in washington i'm going to check on. struggling to get its economy back on track the u.k. is knocking on india's door it is the british prime minister's third day in new delhi where he's looking to bolster trade ties there 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 at the save scumming laid a wreath at the scene of 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. from the school of international affairs believes cameron is not facing up to the reality of

the situation. sky. 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 inviting him to france all along was here recently and there is almost like a bee line of major four hours there are trying to organise when you're going to become something busy gardening and most of us in europe as you know has been completely suffered entered 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 the group and in the absence of growth to be honest you know there are 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. in other news the prime minister has stepped down after his own ruling islamic party rebuffed a final effort to form a new government 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 barely called for a new cabinet after the assassination of an opposition leader sparked a fresh wave of unrest in the country tunisia a struggle to find political stability since the arab spring revolution in twenty eleven. scuffles between police and a handy fascist protesters have broken out at cambridge university the leader of the french for a national party marine le pen is making a speech there hundreds demonstrated against the decision to invite the right wing politician ben who is often criticized in france for her extreme views she killed

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 are having very tough economic as they already 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 see with 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 seppala says on trade and other things become pretty the company's job is to apply the best technology to the best in 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 as if saying right now they're getting oil prices through the roof of the best think you see 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 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 get. 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. it right the potential rising prices thank you very much for joining us thank you. well the 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 airs later today here on our tape but here's 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 fissile material was the pacing element. that. the time required to go from physical material. we did it was shorter than the physical material. but they've halted it. for.

terminology we used was because of international scrutiny and pressure but that center 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 the program back on again at any time and we also. released part we weren't sure we would know if they turned it back on . can you print an extra copy of my liver please and if you decades it's possible scientists will be able to do just that a method called bio printing uses real cells that can be put in a special printer cartridge to produce living tissue but for all its medical benefits the area might hold some future threats as artie's marina portnoy explains

. 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 of the living cells to build up to shoot structure eventually biomedical engineers hope 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. fascinating stuff now for more on any of the stories that we're covering you can go to our web site at r.t. com also there everlasting social networking a brand new on line up or soon allowing twitter users to keep posting from beyond the grave check out exactly how at our web site also there the death of russia's mafia godfather grandpas son means a serious reshuffle in the criminal world find out why gangster get togethers into moscow restaurants didn't turn out all that well for almost one hundred crooks stay with the latest cross talk debate coming up for you right after a short. choose
