the top of his head was completely the brains were. on the ground and the smell. the smell still haunts me. and i witness to the notorious civilian mass slaughter by u.s. troops in iraq which was caught on video he tells me that taking part in the campaign left his own life in a state of ruin. north korea's a suggestion that pyongyang embassies be evacuated leaves the international community unsure of the communist states true intentions. taking advantage china's new a strain of bird flu kills. we investigate who could thrive from the spreading panic. a very warm welcome to you from all of us here at. your world why. it's

been three years since wiki leaks released a graphic video dubbed the collateral murder and shows us how to cope to slaying over a dozen iraqis the incident shocked the world and also left a mark on many american soldiers who ended up witnessing the massacre one of them though spoken exclusively. here it. ultimately revisiting the tragic day of the soldier in question says the events ultimately destroyed his life. by the way 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 these guys. and from looking at him as you can't see anything. that right there is obviously

a camera dangling. if you're to really pay attention. that guy has 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. on the ground and the smell this 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 think she's 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 then picks 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 i 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 crown row. 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 and. 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 the barrel of 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 i'm on that story plus the for collateral murder video it's available on our website to talk. north korea has once again made the

international community wary of a possible conflict on the peninsula by suggesting that foreign embassies evacuate their staff and the warning follows reports that pyongyang placed two of its middle range missiles on a mobile launchers on the east coast in turn south korea and america moved interceptor missiles and warships to the region such moves are increasingly putting the north on the offensive that's according to political writer and journalist dan glazebrook. north korea's. whole intention is to show its willingness preparedness to defend itself should war should all be launched upon it of course the every year we have these massive provocations of joint u.s. and south korean war games exercises right on the borders of north korea this year the provocations were stepped up to actually simulate a nuclear missile attack on north korea b. two bombers were used for the first time along be fifty to use an f.

twenty two bombers so this military to military provocation from the u.s. north korea feels rightly threaten the scene what's happened to iraq to libya and so on it feels threatened knows it was under the overt explicit list of. the american government some years ago 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. live from moscow this is r.t. as the world keeps a close eye on the bird flu outbreak in china a panic is already spreading across neighboring countries six people have died so far out of the sixteen infected of figures certainly far from any type of epidemic . and looks now at a who might hope to benefit from any type of bird flu hype. 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 says slumped in chinese airline stocks in an attempt to restrict travel vietnam bans poultry imports from china and taiwan it raises quarantine level alerts while the u.s. and china are already looking into creating a vaccine for this specific type of bird flu co-produce is already poised to jump in and produce a cure at a price of course now let's look at the example of the swine flu epidemic which cost the british taxpayer one point two billion dollars off of the government panicked and splashed out billions on vaccinations pharmacy school giant class a smith kline secured a billion dollar contract from it making a billion dollars from vaccines alone last year i reality four hundred fifty seven people died from swine flu

a third of which dive regular flu every year so while china battles with the flu drug companies are no doubt preparing for a multi billion dollar order. it wasn't only britain where big pharmaceuticals made billions from the swine flu pandemic let's take a look at how the fear spread across the globe during our broker ultimately after the first suspected case was reported in mexico in the third month of two thousand and nine the next month then the epidemic word is first mentioned in headlines around the world ok so later towards the end of april first confirmed deaths of the swine flu it quickly becomes though the most covered story in global media then we basically approaching spring and then to some of the june june of two thousand and nine the world health organization says well we've got a pandemic on our hands a pandemic meaning a global crisis mass vaccinations on the. in the summer of two thousand and ten as you see the hype escalates very very quickly indeed forty million expired doses

destroyed at a cost and i should say a loss of two hundred and sixty million dollars safe to say by that point however the big pharmaceutical companies made all the money they needed to make we'll just have to wait and see what the current bird flu hype leads. i think. so. this is ought to be on rory sushi still ahead for you in the program the asian economic forum turns global heads of state and business leaders from all over the world attending on mass all t.v. reports from china. plus the war of words the escalating tension between israel and palestine sparks an advertisement for time in new york just ahead for you.

the international airport in the very heart of moscow. a pleasure to have you with us thanks for joining us here on out it's he heads of state business leaders and nobel prize winners of all gathered in china to discuss economic and other pressing global issues the twelve forum has already proven a truly global event this year and once again bringing the world's attention to emerging nations ever growing economic clout a local correspondent alexander reports from china. when people hear it in all week

for the first thing that comes to mind is the snow will escape in doubles but this is not changing as the repertoire eyes of the so-called asian tigers has shifted the focus east towards when it comes to the world's economic development established twelve years ago the ball form had its main focus in asia but it left the door open for other countries to join in the years later in two thousand and thirteen we have top ranking government officials and business leaders from all over europe and america attending the conference including bill gates christine legarde and george soros and the excitement is understandable as well america and europe have been dealing with a no go in economic recession china's trade ball in his skyrocketed for example the trade wall between brazil and china in two thousand and twelve alone has reached a whopping one thousand percent or seventy five billion u.s. dollars the same happened 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 feel lation from washington d.c. is the u.s. 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 will be covering up the forum for you throughout the next three days on air and online on odds. you would believe economic forum for the big players who are shaping tomorrow's global ecology while twenty thirty the stakes are high today on our t.v.

. just a moment on the aussie world update for now a billions of hidden dollars stashed in tax havens have been brought to light the international consortium of journalists has leaked a report exposing offshore ties of some well known corporations and high profile figures for example the election campaign treasurer for france's president alon a moderate program from financial advisory a.c.m. partners says facts whistleblowing it's becoming an effective trend. let's use france as an example if you look at what's going on there you have the president he's pushing for a seventy five percent tax on millionaires well some of his body employees and close colleagues are getting their money offshore so i think you almost have to rely on the sort of twenty first century vigilantes to really get the treatment for me should 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 a further ends of that kind of vigil and secondly it'll be interesting to see what happens in the euro zone most of all i mean and you have riots in several countries right now from regular you know folks who are being asked to tighten their belts not just not take vacations but having trouble feeding their children meanwhile the leaders friends and like i said 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 the us. and i would go to much more news for you online including exxon mobil has been named the winner over safety award despite the ongoing cleanup operation after its oil spill in the u.s. state of arkansas will and ossie dot com we've got a timeline of the spill with more footage on background for you. plus we tell you

why creating human organs using a three d. printer could replace traditional medicine in the not too distant future. but for now and u.s. secretary of state john kerry is doing israel hoping to restart in active peace talks between tel of even ramallah i mean while the two nations have been engulfed in renewed turbulence sponsored by the death of a former hamas member in israeli custody we did manage to speak to one of the palestinians are currently detained in an israeli prison about the conditions they continue to face that. we suffer from an incredibly low standard of medical assistance among those detained here there are at least twenty five people who suffer from cancer and they're not getting the treatment they need the most recent example is abu hamed dyer who died in the prison hospital but this hospital is really like a jail like the ones in fascist germany during the holocaust it only has a small infirmary if you get placed there for several hours you leave with sick

kidneys or liver or any other kind of disease his life could have been saying if you receive treatment at an early stage medical assistance in the prisons is not given on purpose they do it to break the will of the detainees we are a people who are forced to live with occupation we are demanding that the international community take historic responsibility for the life of palestinians we are demanding that the international community uses the security council to free the sick detainees we're talking of those who are mortally ill i was just released from a hospital where i saw a young man suffering from kidney stones who was only getting painkillers instead of treatment there are people among us who spent thirty five years behind bars. an international committee who would visit these prisons and prison hospitals all of them. and the death of a palestinian. large scale protests i'm renewed violence. at

the high tension in the middle east it's all spilled over now into a full on propaganda war in america the international community continues searching for the best path to a middle east peace agreement the issue has sparked a tension at war in new york i propose to mean group recently unveiled an ad campaign that calls on the us to stop sending three billion dollars in aid to israel every year the poster compares israel's policies to the south african apartheid and also includes a quote from doesn't tutu who led the fight against the apartheid now this campaign . is being sponsored by the american muslims for palestine national grassroots advocacy group now in the meantime grow is really a group called the american freedom defense initiative is planning to fire back with a campaign depicting what it calls islamic apartheid the counter ads which have already been submitted to transit officials for approval show the image of two blindfolded

iranian men getting wrapped with nooses the caption below reads under islamic law shari'a another ad shows a woman dressed in a white burqa getting whipped and there the caption reads under islamic law rape victims are tortured or killed unless they agree to marry their rapist last year the american freedom defense initiative sponsored an ad campaign that compared muslims to savages those ads debuted in new york city's subway stations jewish organizations in the majority of new yorkers criticize that campaign as hate speech a tone of speech that does nothing to assist in cementing a permanent peace plan in the middle east reporting from new york marina. into biase world update now with the latest update on the death toll off there in a legally constructed building in the indian city of mumbai collapsed the number is now up to seventy two officials also say that over seventy have been injured rescue

workers are searching through the massive pile of debris all their hopes on diminishing of finding any survivors. the president has refused to apologize this after he apparently was caught on a microphone calling his counterpart from argentina an old hag argentina has filed a protest against its neighbor. thought to be critical of christine a coach in his recent meeting with a new argentinean pope. and it was the latest eurozone crisis seemingly i should say resolved in cyprus the spotlight has shifted towards the block's third largest economy and submerged in recession at least since twenty eleven italy also remains in a political stalemate after the latest election five weeks ago failed to result in a coalition government as nazis really go to school reports the uncertainties putting the future of the euro in a very fresh perspective. a country with a glorious past and

a very uncertain future the word crisis has been used so often in recent years with an e.u. nations that it may have lost all meaning but recent elections in italy have shown a total collapse of mario monti's austerity measures which were supposed to yank the country out of the economic hole it didn't achieve much other than create division and uncertainty right there everybody understands the deep crisis and the. proposition from the side of the power two trillion euro that's the amount of italy's national debt threatening to force entire cities to declare bankruptcy tax hikes pay cuts sporadic corruption scandals and youth unemployment at over thirty percent these are the top of the list of reasons italians say they have lost faith in country's politicians and that is largely wife february's elections were described as a victory for bet agree loz 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 and you for in italy. i regard the extent 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. with disparagingly called pigs. it's not figs it's its financial target it's a private attack italians headed to the polling stations desperate for

a leader who could bring back stability and prosperity the nation once enjoyed but the results seemed to show unity only in the resoundingly no to this series of measures put in place by mario monti begging the question just what kind of future is in store for the euro zone. in rome even r.t. . and our economic experts max kaiser and stacy herbert they'll be discussing the issue of debt as they deliver their own take on the financial headlines of course in the cause report coming up in about an hour and five minutes from now. is that if you live on one side of the wall your interest on that debt is near zero or zero or less than zero if you live on the other side of that wall your you pay twenty thirty forty eight hundred nine hundred thousand percent annualized interest on that debt everyone has debt but the difference is it what what side of the apartheid wall you live in do you live in the interest rate ghetto or do you live in the interest rate of valhalla. now

i know that's old from me finale but in just about thirty seconds from now it's breaking a sat next on a. what if one third of the population of a capital city of a small arab country took to the streets in protest while the mainstream media would scream the people of nation x. are crying out for democracy we have to intervene and take their oil i mean help them but the earth shaking a large protest is in arab country it's in paris france and for traditional marriage yes protesters in paris claim that they had eight hundred thousand people on the streets of france's capital and even though the police said that half those

numbers for a city of less than two point five million people this was a huge protest for a card list the european union loves to educate the world about democracy and show that's liberal values around and yet that doesn't really seem to listen to the citizens very much who want to stop the madness of waves of illegal immigrants bailing out members on the times of other nations and for focusing the union's national attention on social issues like gay marriage instead of creating jobs to the e.u. officials out there who claim to believe in democracy maybe it's about time you. actually try you know listening to a few will disagree with you before you keep promoting policies against possibly the will of the majority but that's just my opinion.

a good cause you never seen anything like this i'm still. happy friday everyone with all the stereo bought in the nuclear war with north korea i think it's important that our leaders are keeping a cool head about it take for example oklahoma senator jim inhofe put some words of advice on how to deal with the current state of affairs he said quote i think something of a preemptive strike something like that going to get their attention. great idea a preemptive strike against nuclear armed north korea and what could go wrong you know for a senior senator to you this kind of rhetoric is not only careless it's dangerous which is exactly why we need to keep these are blood thirsty warmongers in check. where you are she repeated.
