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 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 we get these kind of this particular kind of calls for. every day.

somebody has had a heart attack we don't put a. 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 is underway. and the police is not really releasing any further details in terms of what they could tell us about this case what we do know is according to them the autopsy results may come 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 meanwhile the children's own but some in moscow says russia has the right to demand the return of the other child who was adopted by the american family if it's proved they cause the death of his brother ronnie post from

the foundation against child trafficking says the u.s. adoption system that supervision. session is the national company i mean the u.s. state level the company so it's not the u.s. state department here this is. actually like any other children in the u.s. like children love of their forums and so state level if you're about children in russia who are. in child protection supervised care. by rights out there from official from the save your own child abduction i don't think you very. well fried a family like any other child so there's nobody supervising and nobody. anything you post adoption reform. russia very often i don't.

buy the. option. and none of these people. say anything about you know. who are of the children work with the power of the workforce reintegration into the family. press freedom has become one of the key roadblocks to turkey's e.u. membership a journalist rights watchdog report says the country has become the world's number one media prison and the reporters are detained on the anti terrorism laws on a being held without charge for prolonged periods of time the details now from artie's really good a scam. it's because of people like me that turkey who was 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 turning 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 cake laws 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 reform in order for turkey to stop conflating terrorism with journalism turkish officials promised last november

at 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 and drawings journalism activities must deal reporters have been incarcerated over there 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. melissa say affiliation with again a con is just one of many clever ways the government gets away with lucky the most they know these. developments say this. without just cut the hook enough to qualify for as journalists. and that's of course a primitive reply. which befits well there'd be

a prime minister who said this to people. because germans are interested why because i don't have prescott's journalism is about a popular career choice for young people in turkey the country boasts us news papers and a plethora of t.v. 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 the families of my students tell them go learn journalism 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 on a lot of dangerous one this b.j. says dick is official views all the religious leaders 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 me doing this because there's a book 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 i can do and the police can accuse me of anything but being a member of a terror group for example then someone can send them an anonymous letter mail used as evidence back behind bars we were. in turkey. i t. . with traffic halted school shots and hospitals desperately understaffed labor unions in greece are involved not yet another twenty four hour strike over the country's crippling austerity where around forty thousand people have marched nathanson anger at spending cuts and tax hikes they say there were some clashes arrests or injuries labor unions are demanding the government gets rid of the bailout deal which requires further severe austerity measures while the e.u. has struck a deal in hiring the european commission to verify the budgets of the box members documentary filmmaker iris just a phantom says greece is turning into debt ocracy. when you have human

stead leg there is no one that greece and other countries of the european very very are facing you start losing levels of democracy and i'm afraid that's how the don't forget that one year ago we had nothing like the crankcase there and after the election we have a government that promised to renegotiate the bed but never did something they only invest in riot police and being unconstitutional. and we both more spirit the country i'm afraid that we are. becoming a third world country not only as far as the economies closer but also as far as democracy is force or europe was one of the major players that destroyed the greek economy by forcing business there the measures only countries that said that we we not follow the orders of the i.m.f. or big financial institutions managed to survive. this crisis and i don't

mean on countries like argentina or i slunk who didn't own know any of the proposals of the big financial institutions or the you or the governments. well high fuel prices are hitting pockets around the globe but the root cause is ranging from a restive middle east to recession that's why the movers and shakers from the world's energy sector are in london to see how to find a way out he was the one that's later. the printer that could really give you a hand after the break the scientists on the verge of developing a machine to reproduce and living to shape the cloning concerns surrounding it.

fresh air is ready to host talks between the syrian rebel. in the government with indications that the situation is moving out of its dead end well that optimism is from foreign minister sergei lavrov he's due to meet his syrian counterpart on monday the opposition leader also expected to visit the russian capital it's not known when one hour from r.t.c. were pissing off earlier the leader of the syrian opposition for the first time has said that they're ready 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 you know 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 fate 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 acquire apply equal pressure on them in order to begin a political process in syria new didn't until recently there were those who discouraged the opposition from participating in dialogue with the regime just this far as i understand now the situation is changing and so it's important that this readiness of the syrian opposition leadership will be met with the government's response so that they are willing to do the same 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 a high fuel prices have been a burden for many consumers but even those working in the industry say it's holding

the world back from recovery making it worse so the sanctions on iran and the ongoing uncertainty in the middle east well in two thousand to keep players from the oil and gas industry and now thrashing out the problems and possible solutions in london so first has been hearing from the experts. 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 over the need clear 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 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 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 the oil 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 always stay with that 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 served as as years go by governments around the world surpluses 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 fear the rule of the best think yes you're right on the best thing we can do is invest so i unfortunately of the age of easy or 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 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 assert right of potential rising prices thank you very much for joining us thank you so. well sanctions on iran have reduced its oil exports and investors will keenly watch next week's nuclear talks for signs of a shift deep seated tensions remain in the west which suspects terrified of developing atomic weapons back in two thousand and seven the white house came close to launching military action against iran but was stopped by a national intelligence report saying iran had halted its scope that program r.t. has spoken to its author. the judgment that we made was that it was

a political decision to halt the weaponization portions of its program or continued to fizzle material as a material was the pacing element. that the. at the time required to go from physical material to a bomb. we did it was shorter than a dime for 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 this program back on again at any time and we also said in that release point we weren't sure we would know if they turned it back on.

and you can watch the full interview with the former chief of the u.s. national intelligence council at six forty five pm g.m.t. right tara. now how do you ensure your allies of the future well one way is to educate them in your own country while they're young there are a fair few potential for only this currently in america's education system getting insight from miller is including former secretary of state hillary clinton who signed on with a public speaking agency is going to chicken that has been finding out it's a strategy that's already bearing fruit. 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 engine sariah took a two year course in public diplomacy in two thousand and six at the university of south in california and 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 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 but you don't have to stand somewhere so i never pursued a career with the training. i mean i may not be fond of the government in iran but i support a hundred percent it's not going to and i was sitting in this class. lectures and people saying how do we think the market i'd be undermined. so for me it was a real challenge to see the programs through this age it was their lead definitely are some of the soviet union in two thousand and seven when i was in the program they had already started the push towards africa diplomacy is good business as has 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. if you have a smartphone app for just about everything we tell you. to post some. tweets to come but i don't need to twitter keeps your online spirit. off you've moved to the dolphin. also there are reports this to mysteriously charges a secret cia prisons. exponentially detained and tortured back down to that. call. is easy.

there are computer printers that can bring us a vivid color and even photo quality how about one which prints human organs that's in development and alan scientists working on it think it will prove a watershed moment for medicine and the fears over human cloning could make so-called people printing hard to sell as miniport not expensive. 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 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 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 it 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 a quick look at some other world news now starting with the ongoing violence in syria a footballer has been killed and several other players injured after a mortar bomb at a stadium in damascus two shells landed in the sports facility in the center of the

city where homs based team was training but they earlier two mortars exploded near the presidential palace in the syrian capital causing damage but no casualties. france's far right leader has been to britain but often less than warm welcome there in the pen was invited to cambridge university eight un french politics police clashed with around two hundred anti fascist demonstrators outside the venue and is often criticized in france with views came third in last year's presidential elections has been a year wimpy for nearly ten years. and the bold garia is entire government has resigned after a series of nationwide protests reached its peak public anger was initially over soaring electricity prices and the storage measures later took an antigovernment twist the prime minister of the e.u.'s poorest country said he could not stay.
