this is our see coming here live from moscow hello and welcome to the program it's been three years since wiki leaks released a graphic video done to the collateral murder showing u.s. helicopters slaying over a dozen iraqi civilians these didn't show the world and also left a mark on many american soldiers who witnessed the massacre and one of them has exclusively spoken to r.t. revisiting the tragic day he says destroyed his life. back to what it was the video that put wiki leaks on the map turned the tide of war in iraq and landed private first class bradley manning in military detention but for army veteran ethan mccord it was just another day on duty the helicopters are approximately about a mile and a half away. when they resume in these guys. and from looking out american can't see anything. that right there is obviously a camera dangling. if you're to really pay attention. that guy has in a k forty

seven right there baghdad iraq two thousand and seven the two hundred sixteenth battalion was out patrolling a volatile part of the city i was about five blocks away four or five blocks away to the. to the left of the screen this was a battalion wide mission and then the situation turned deadly. we heard the apaches firing. ethan and his infantry squad it began running toward the scene to provide support again the apache helicopter opened fire. when he arrived on the scene the apache guns were quiet the accused enemies were dead. one guy's head the top of his head was completely off and the brains were. were on the ground and the smell. the smell so . i don't even know how to describe it when he approached the van

a noisy thing wasn't expecting a cry of a little girl and she was four years old. you could tell she had a wound to the stomach and. remember looking at me in. the blood around her eyes made her eyes so ghostly why isn't grabbed a girl and ran into a nearby building he didn't pick glass out of her eyes so she could blink and handed her off to a medic i went back outside and. was told to take pictures i started taking pictures of the inside of the van and that's when he discovered the little boy and that's me. that is a little boy who i originally thought with despite their injuries the children survived but part of ethan changed forever that day i couldn't stop myself from crying i couldn't stop myself from feeling the way that i was feeling when he did seek mental help he says he was mocked by his commanders and threatened with

expulsion from the military when i started drinking and metal have given me prescriptions thirteen prescriptions. geodon depakote. prozac and i was i was a zombie but things got worse it's started daydreaming of killing my own children and everybody around me so even took matters into his own hands i had already began drinking pretty heavily and. i had down all the pills and i drank a fifth of. ten o'clock in the morning. and my wife at the time found me that was the first time even tried to take his own life after that he was dismissed from the army i was kicked out with no disability . no benefits from the army was whoever he returned to wichita and then even

attempted suicide for a second time. i actually wrote a poem right before i did. put the gun in my mouth and. i don't know if i really want to talk about. these then story is tragic yes but he certainly isn't alone tens of thousands of military veterans suffer the effects of p.t.s.d. long after they leave the battlefield and for those who simply can't cope with the stress often times they choose to end their own lives their fathers and brothers sons and soldiers and now they're simply another time and american wars abroad in the past two years alone ethan has lost eight of his veteran brothers to suicide and his outlook on life hasn't improved with time i know that i will never ever

ever get better i'll never get over this for the world the collateral murder video was just another black mark on an unpopular war for ethan it was a catalyst that made him question the entire purpose of the iraq war you know america. john wayne you know we were the white house. americans are always out well we're going to try to help people that's all we did was try to spread freedom and democracy through the barrel of a gun history will be the ultimate determinant of how the iraq war is viewed but for ethan and so many soldiers suffering from post war stress the future is far and the past is too much to cope with reporting from wichita kansas meghan lopez r.t. . and more on this story plus the for collateral murder video is available on our website ossie dot com. north korea has once again made the international community wary of a possible conflict on the peninsula by suggesting that foreign embassies iraq your

it feels threatened it knows it was under the overt explicit list of the american government some musical and it needs to make very clear that it will not tolerate any kind of infringement of its sovereignty any attack and this is what all of this is about is to show that it's willing to defend itself. the world keeps a close eye on the birthrate break in china panic is already spreading across neighboring countries six people have died so far out of this sixteen infected think is far from an epidemic altie is case of pale the looks now at who might hope to benefit from any bird flu like that. the panic is already spreading across the globe over fears of a bird flu epidemic in china twenty thousand birds were slaughtered at one local market japan has but health warnings on people coming into the country from china hong kong shares slumped in chinese airline stocks in an attempt to restrict travel

dollars the same happen to other countries in the region they can china their number one trade partner the place previously occupied by the u.s. on the top of that china and brazil have recently struck an agreement to ditch the u.s. dollar and trade in their own national currencies similar agreements have been made between china and russia and china and australia china's rise has certainly faced criticism and accusations of currency many people ations from washington d.c. is the us is feeling that is losing its position as the world's leading economy. but china consistently demonstrated its resilience in diplomacy and its independence in the economic decision making so the tropical island of none may be nothing like the mighty slopes of switzerland but the economic agreements made here may send avalanches across the globe that are just as powerful and will become bring the forum for you throughout the next three days on and online or on.

the sort of twenty first century vigilantes to really get the true information it's easy to say one thing you know corporate billionaires and fat cats and all of that it's another to actually see it in writing those two point five million accounts and see who's hiding what so i think you're going to see of furtherance of that kind of vigil and secondly it'll be interesting to see what happens in the euro zone most of all i mean you have riots in several countries right now from regular you know folks who are being asked to take their belts not just not take vacations but having trouble feeding their children meanwhile the leaders friends and like their colleagues are busy stashing their money away and not paying arguably their fair share of taxes i think it would be pretty devastating if something didn't come out of this. and as always we'll have more news for you online including exxon mobil has become the winner was safe that's just one of the ongoing operation after

out that there's six hundred and fifty four n.g.o.s currently operating in russia many of them dealing with the internal politics of russia and these new laws were in place to find out basically just where the cash that goes to finance these non-government organizations is coming from and just regarding how much that cash is it's around one billion u.s. dollars a year so they wanted to find out who's putting money into russia and where that's coming from. the law does not prohibit then he thinks you know there's a limit or close down anything through the organizations financed from abroad or not forbidding to carry out any type of activities including internal political ones the only thing we want to know is who receives money and where it goes i repeat the law is not some sort of innovation of our own the shockwave still being felt from cypresses recent financial dire straits putin said this we're

going allegations that cyprus has become some kind of laundry for dirty russian money that those making those allegations well they better have some pretty hard facts to back them up is that fair that people invested their funds merely deposited their money with banks without breaking any laws whether the laws of cyprus are those of the european union just this she sixty percent of their deposits forfeit that they did not violate any rules as to the allegations that cyprus was as they say in the financial community a laundry for dirty money they have to be supported with hard facts that we create that option no we didn't it was the european union that created. or rather it was created by the cypriot authorities with the approval of the european union while syria was a top were a major topic that was touched upon during this interview putin saying that an end to hostilities must come from both sides in the conflict this is always been

russia's point to to find a solution to what's going on in syria he also touched on the point of what's always said that russia is arming sounds like to me a putin said there's no laws anywhere that would make darts illegal to assad there's no law stopping the doing of business with a legitimate government which the assad government still remains however what there are laws against is arming paramilitary groups the recent past three point five tons of munitions and weapons have been given to the opposition fighters in syria by outside forces now there are laws against that serious international law and he said that that must stop and you can no longer r.t. dot com for a full transcript of the interview and find out what not to push and have to say about other pressing global issues. u.s. secretary of state john kerry is a jew and is

is largely wife february's elections were described as a victory for but agree of those five star party a movement which positions itself against everything italian politicians have done or said in the last two decades italy is european union's third strongest economy in the us any small storm in the country may pretend a tempest for europe putting the future of the euro at stake different italy will. regarding your stance this will influence the european politics some analysts say the e.u. states may share common currency and enjoy open borders their attitude towards one another is infused with discord for the moment it has been yes. well we could do a much much more you know by agreeing among countries on the financial. disparagingly called pigs. it's not pigs it's its financial attack and it's
