to meet even that store interest lies. the latest news and the week's top stories in the weekly on our c with me you are a very warm welcome to the program. the death of a three year old boy in the uighurs has caused a storm of outrage and the son to the side of russia it was revealed this week that the russian abductee died whilst in the care of an american foster family the boy's adoptive mother claims it was just an accident but most are suspects the taller might have been killed from in the city trick innit. twenty russian children in the last seventeen years died in their adoptive american families most recently here in texas mark seemed was me and known to locals as max shadow just what i heard on the

news. just that kid had some scratches. that's all i know three year old marquis him and his younger brother keel lived in this house with their adoptive parents in a rather secluded neighborhood it was from here that on the afternoon of january twenty first the boy was taken away by an ambulance never to come back his legs had an internal organs were allegedly severely bruised. it could mean could if this is confirmed as a result of the investigation that maxime's death was a result of certain violent actions but specific circumstances of his death have yet to be announced i can't get into because it would be speculative. for the results to the russian officials had no knowledge of the incident until almost a month after the boy's death it wasn't a little bit later that we started getting some suspicions of what was going on and that all developed from talking to the parents the people that live there it just took a little more time moscow says this is far from the first time it has been left in

the dark about an adopted child stuff. even unfortunately it's usually months after a russian child has died in the u.s. that the american side informs us about it and one case it was five years after a boy died a probe is now being conducted in texas and russia has an ongoing investigation of its own. if as a result of the investigation it is determined that maksim was killed by his mother for example if this is the conclusion of the investigation naturally those responsible for the death of the russian boy will have to suffer the most severe punishment there have also been allegations that the mother continually fed the child drugs intended to treat schizophrenia and adults meanwhile at the u.s. state department we obviously take very seriously. the welfare of children particularly children who've been adopted from other countries according to moscow little co-operation was shown until it was demanded political. or you're going to.

come up with almost two dozen deaths caused by abuse and even manslaughter russia in a move often criticized recently opposed to ban on american adoption of its kids i've always believed that russia should stop these adoptions and i hope that they maintain this ban and don't yield to pressure autopsy an investigation results are expected to take weeks if not months to be announced no arrests have yet been made the dead boy's younger brother's destiny is yet to be determined for now he continues living in the adoptive family where his brother died while the investigation is slow paced and the alleged information on the little boy's life and death extremely scarce one of the questions that demand an answer is why should it take a rigid push from abroad for the us to pay attention to yet another tragic destiny of a hopeless child to whom it promised a better life on its soil and r.t.e. act or county texas. now born over brains that british schools.

almost couldn't score so. i see this person was shot down a bunch of fire coming out report and how up to four children a day are called brain weapons into u.k. schools with authorities desperate to end an epidemic of violence. escalating but now the u.k. prime minister david cameron has boxed the idea redirecting hundreds of millions in foreign aid money towards military operations security peacekeeping and demobilization are the most likely recipients and barry gardener who's a labor m.p. things that the aid will fall into the wrong hands. i think we can absolutely have no short cuts when it comes to human rights if you look at the rajah parks regime it is quite simply a clip top christie family is stealing the wealth of that island in the most

disgusting way and i am appalled that it still appears that the commonwealth will be having its heads of government meeting there later on this year. so i believe that we should be having very little to do with that regime at the moment it is being subject to the united nations asking for it to address the issue of war crimes that took place at the end of the conflict with the time the population. so it's a regime with the a very questionable past that the un is asking for serious reform and so far that hasn't been forthcoming millions uneasily will be electing their names the government on sunday in a parliamentary poll that will define rome's economic fortunes leading the race of three functions the democrats the party of political perineal silvio berlusconi and a moment led by a movement led by a former comedian who has captivated thousands with his anti austerity rhetoric.

raising rock. close elections for it's least that's how it's gets one of the top days to the week in the parliamentary elections the clerics they're going to start to say and if they vote at least elections then the country is not going anywhere at. least for these decades of taliban militants illa . obviously didn't have a hard time finding they had a good hard lately he's been. explicit a problem. he's useless the to. the sunnis. or at least the w.c. elite the one of the most regions leaned on some form of parties

out there it's all lies and because it's in the cells in the south the saudis take everything. and it's a little bit a little bit wrong still to get the sunnis when this is lindsay certainly not in. the political arena league with a. lot of the political forces. loveless his son the same way with the republic elite . legal. or illegal the link is still a you. can't leave

threatens to strike hezbollah over the border into lebanon something that middle east expert tariq ali says could have disastrous consequences. there is often worse than their bite but worth it to do they would be dealing with a totally different entity limby deal within syria because as follows a popular mass organization with support of a very sizable section of the lebanese population watched that good to be a good being to reopen the warmth of previous civil war in lebanon which no one wants neither has learned nor its opponents and back up don't forget the last chance to crush a split i was made by these release who invaded lebanon on the bare roof tried to brochures but suffered reverses themselves in a recent attack he was in and the syrian government. because they introduce stabilize further there should be

a political settlement so that this ugly stalemate should not be allowed to continue to have you know any longer saner elements within the opposition to sit down and see what's going to be sorted out even at this late hour late stage. because if this doesn't happen that will look spanish history of seeing into lebanon and then anything's possible going to take the palestinians are demanding an international investigation into the death of a palestinian prisoner in an israeli trail it's reported he died of a heart attack but it's alleged he was being interrogated at the time this follows a week on the left which saw hundreds of west bank residents clashing almost daily with israeli settlers and police dozens were injured in the fighting for in support of for palestinians a hunger strike in israeli jails on monday negotiators sent a letter to the e.u. foreign policy chief requesting help in securing the prisoners release while read

we are at the war of media even you know that media play the role of by diminishing a very aggressiveness of the israeli response during the war as post-war symbolism cements each side's perceived triumph over the other it's only a matter of time before the decades long conflict erupts again into missiles in the skies. tell of a. president struggle so a peace process is with promises while he's annoying foresman tactics cause more anger in a few minutes report on the alarming allegations of abuse and torture used by local police while the government hundreds out of weapons to the lowest ranking officers some to the break.

secretary of state mr kerry ran into some geography problems when referring to democratic reforms in the non existant country of cures ixtapa they fight corruption in nigeria they support the rule of law. they support democratic institutions and george kyrgyzstan is the country kerry should have said but unfortunately his speech was written with the mistake of reporting from new york. r.t. . now creating of the internet of a moving to censorship opposing adult movies a line of critics alarmed this is the tip of the internet plumb down i've told that to the headquarters. egypt's president has moved parliamentary elections forward five days to april twenty second struggles with the street violence and golfing in the country so on the how than weeks approaches with the

a car that stamps on a person with a shoe shattering the glasses and pushing them into his eyes what car only injures a person's head but not their legs. right now egypt is witnessing unprecedented levels of police violence against protesters rights groups reporting with at least ten x. additional killings by security forces since president mohammed morsi to power the worse the violence often occurs in places like this infamous security directorate behind me which can be blamed for mohammed's balcony however the most worrying trend activists say is the targeting of children in an impoverished district of alexandria explains how her thirteen year old son abdulrahman was detained for over two weeks for being a bystander at a demonstration. the police used violence against children my son has cuts and bruises all over his body a hunter young children because kids can try on away from them. no police told us

paving the way to internet oppression. a very slippery slope to start going down the path of any sort of censorship for whatever reason because of course once you are in a position where authorities can look into what is being passed down the wires and then choose to block whatever they want violent porn to begin with then of course they have the tools to look into other communications and blocked other things in the future the issue of the issue of porn and the issue of terrorism has always been used to justify any sort of attempted censorship in a crackdown on freedom of the internet and this is crucial for the development of the global facility as soon as you start allowing certain technologies to be important to the internet to stop uncensored certain mation they will be misused. some international news in brief for you this hour tens of thousands of them gathered across spain to show their anger at restarting measures put in place by the incumbent conservative government two people were injured and fishing more

us it's violence in schools that are more urgent topic across the atlantic knuckle dusters knives and even firearms are increasingly finding their way into british schools with authorities trying to curb the apparent epidemic our first let a youth worker who says the violence at school was the norm for him. 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 for no for teaching going to say anything about a stark insight into the reality facing some of christian school children despite having one of the best education systems in the world the latest research estimates that up to four peoples a day a court with weapons in british schools guns knives and knuckle dusters just some of the items confiscated by police are members always searching the school and.

gone to the school. good scores going. on about the fire or schools are supposed to be a safe secure environment where the focus is on education the thinkers have revealed that hundreds of weapons are being seized in schools every year with a 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 playground can be a dangerous place it becomes normal to you. you get sucked into this last thing to violence 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

now say it's people's if they suspect that carrying a weapon many politicians is 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. so. stay with us after the break for an in-depth look at rebel militants in the niger delta who bombs together in the face of government corruption.
