course we're watching. almost a month after the death of a three year old russian boy in texas local police are still continuing their investigations russian officials believe. it was abused by his adoptive american mother u.s. authorities say they're still waiting for autopsy results. in the family's hometown . russian officials are outraged at yet another case of the 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 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 deal 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 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 it 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 mistakes or r.t. after county texas. already posts from the foundation against child trafficking says the adoption system in the u.s. is flawed and next supervision. protection because you know. just.

the national company i mean the u.s. state level the company so it's not the u.s. state department in fear this is. actually just like any other children in the u.s. like children of their farms and so the same level of fear of children in russia who are in homes are in child protection supervised care. by rights out there from official from the state wanted to have adoption adopt. well freida family like any other child and so there's nobody supervising and nobody can offer you anything you post adoption reform. russia very often i don't view the power and by the. adoption agency. and none of these people. say anything critical about cuba one has to work on the

children work with the current and work towards reintegration into the family. 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 and the so-called antiterrorism laws or it is are allowed to detain suspects for long periods of time before being formally charged parties are reports. 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 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 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 turkeys are laws for journalists for writing anything their thirty's might consider and 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 in drawings journalism activities most jail reporters have been incarcerated or 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 again a con is just one of many clever ways the government gets away with locking them up . the government says. press carte enough to qualify for as journalists. and that's of course a primitive reply. which befits will. be a prime minister who said the people did prison 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 news papers 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 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 because there's 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. r.t. . russia says it's ready to host talks between the syrian rebels and the government that's according to foreign minister sergei lavrov he's been talking to the arab league chief in moscow. the situation has started moving from a dead end both sides apparently thinking of opening up dialogue for martys to go to school 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 without any preconditions or clearly there are still major sticking points including the feet of president 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 acquire apply equal pressure on them in order to begin a political process in syria and the foreign ministry says in this 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. when it comes to the methods used to spread global influence it seems anything goes that's we reveal later washington strategies could soon be more about loyalty to the stars and stripes than just military might. and a new method of making living tissue called bio printing great medical benefits but a danger in the wrong hands explain why in a few minutes. we

are focusing on the problem. because no one thought to drink no good schools. no permits when you feel part. of the local what's not going up up is a law in the local needs you want a community l.n.g. molton will be used. i don't get it. done for artist i was fights back almost fights. fights. fights right.

technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. ok back here with art. the world's leading figures in the oil and gas industries have gathered in london for international petroleum week some experts suggest tensions in the middle east are inflating prices are also concerns that new sanctions on iran could be increasing costs for consumers the surface reports. thousands of oil and gas professionals from the well 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 with

a new clear program that has some and the sanctions could have come at a worse time a loss of production in south sudan in yemen in the will see 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 of course the european union right now is it the european consumer has been hardest hit by these sanctions we've been speaking from 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 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 and now we see with that with iran oil being used as a political weapon i wouldn't use that sort of phrase i mean i think it's always

the case through as years go by governments around the world seppala says on trade and other things become pretty the companies job is to apply the best technology to 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 they get annoyed by fifty the rule of the best think yes you're right on the best thing we can do is invest so i unfortunately view of easy all 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 get the 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 the senate right the potential rising prices thank you very much for joining us thank you senator. well the sanctions on iran were triggered by western claims the country is seeking to build a nuclear bomb r.t.

caught up with the man many suggest prevented a u.s. strike on iran's controversial nuclear program back in two thousand and seven the full interview airs later today on r.t. but here's a preview for you. the judgment 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 time required to go from physical material to. 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 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 . now what's the greatest tool to secure america's future global influence some would say to the military others would point to troops on the ground or drone strikes here is the u.s. is also using its well respected education system for long term geopolitical gains . to do that spain bearing fruit and it is going to ports. 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 in power 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 leave years 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 engine 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 being taught 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 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 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. it is very hard to quantify that return completely but i

can tell you that you could quantify troops but you don't have to stand somewhere so i never pursued a career with the training. other countries i mean i may not be fond of the government in iran but i think. 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. it was. definitely the soviet union. two thousand and seven when i was in the program they had or distorted the 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 power in washington i'm going to shake them. now to some more international news for you that's an easy on the prime minister. stepped down after his own ruling is the party rebuffed a final effort to form a new government that's expected to deepen the political crisis there's been a stalemate over the drafting of a new constitution more than a year to bali called for a new cabinet the assassination of an opposition leader small to fresh wave of unrest in the country. has struggled to find principles to believe since the arab spring revolution in twenty seven. scuffles between police and protesters have broken out cambridge university the leader of the french national front party marine the pen was making a speech hundreds demonstrating against the decision to invite mean. politician. who is often criticised in france for her extreme views secured third spot in the

french twenty twelve presidential election and hold almost eighteen percent of votes. writing appears to have intensified in northern parts of mali where french soldier and around twenty militants have been killed in an ongoing operation against the islamist insurgency after driving the rebels out of the key towns of timbuktu and france and its allies focused operations in the mahdi's mountainous least eight french hostages are believed to be held in the area france has so far lost two servicemen since its intervention in the west african country began last month. brogue areas entire government has resigned after a series of nationwide protests some of which led to violence the security forces crackdown on dissent have been taking to the streets to voice i'm going to restoring electricity prices and austerity measures and departure was announced by

the minister point resort he says he can stay in power amid such a crisis. but it's the stuff of science fiction but experts say that in a few decades scientists may be able to replicate human organs a method called by the printing uses real cells that can be put in a special printer cartridge to produce living tissue for all its medical benefits the area might also future threats as well and so it is more in a partner experience. your university's 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. well head to r.t. dot com for more on the stories we're covering including everlasting social networking a brand new online app will soon allow twitter users to keep posting from beyond the grave check out exactly how on our website. and the death of russia's maffia
