thanks so much for joining us here on day to share with your worldwide news live from moscow. it's been exactly three years since wiki leaks published a graphic video which. blot on america's reputation but the footage which shows u.s. helicopters killing more than a dozen iraqi civilians not only shocked the world but how did die impact on american soldiers who witnessed the massacre. we spoke to a former army veteran who shared his memories of a day he would rather forget. for 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 it now you can't see anything when that right there is obviously a camera dangling. if you're to really pay attention. for 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 apache was firing. ethan and his infantry squad 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 still haunts me to. 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 i. remember looking at me and. 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 was 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 then everybody around me so even took matters into his own hands i had already began drinking pretty heavily and. 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 . 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. where put the gun in my mouth and. i don't know if i really want to talk about it. he's been 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 the also 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 tragedy and american wars abroad

in the past two years alone even 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 of 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 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 do is try to spread freedom and democracy 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.

you can check out all t. dot com for more information related to this wiki leaks video of course as well as the storm which followed it's really. for now foreign embassies in pyongyang are staying put despite warnings from the regime that to evacuate the north korean government says according to guarantee the safety of diplomatic enclaves citing tensions on the threat of war at the north in the meantime is primed at least two ballistic must missiles in response to u.s. and south korean warship encroachments geo political analyst a twenty first century wired dot com patrick henningsen says so far he sees only hype in the crisis. the big question is how this hyped up at the beginning had to do with a nucular threat from north korea and there's a series of things that have gone on in the last months to get us to that conclusion and i can't help but remember in the run up to the iraq war everyone was asking would saddam hussein used chemical weapons or not but no one actually asked the question does he really have them in the first place and the same question i

just asked regarding north korea what is their nucular frett and as far as i can see as far as u.s. officials actual emissions are there is no need no nucular threat as we can say into ballistic missile threat to the united states so this is very much overhyped in the cold war theatrical sense but the pivot towards asia from the united states is a very real ok right now since this crisis began the philippines is already okayed the use of more bases for the united states in that country and there was a deal to decommission some of the okinawa sites in japan and that might be off the table as a result of the hype of this particular conflict so. complex it needs a reason to exist and i believe the north korean threat to be a theatrical real gives just that reason gives the pretext for the expansion of the military economy from the u.s. side. and if you're wondering how the korean situation devolved to the level it's

up today you can catch up by visiting a timeline of events at our daughter com so i'm from pictures and videos we've got full analysis of what's transpired in these last few rather hectic weeks. a second chinese city has begun culling birds in a wave of panic about a possible avian flu outbreak the fears have also spread to neighboring countries six people have died out of the sixteen infected those are figures far from any type of epidemic artie's kitty pilgrim looks now who might hope to benefit from more of the 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 drug produces already poised to jump in produce a cure out of 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 black say 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 die 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 the only britain where big pharmaceutical

companies made billions from the swine flu panic let's take a look at how fear spread across the globe during that outbreak ultimately before a suspected case reported in mexico in march two thousand and nine then there would epidemic was quickly quickly used in the media that was just three weeks or so later that the media jumped on the word epidemic truly getting a bit of panic out there when it comes to the issue of deaths from bout of the flu in addition here first confirmed death was an april two thousand and nine so ultimately from march to the end of april swine flu becoming the most covered story in the media and of course as you notice as you notice from the time line here the stage from discovery to death to panic comes very very quickly indeed the world health organization do squares a pandemic that means it is a global outbreak mass inoculations begin as well and then by the end of the day in the middle of june two thousand and ten the united states realizes that forty

million expired doses must be destroyed but will be at a loss of two hundred sixty million dollars ultimately though by that point in time probably safe to say the big pharma companies already made a big fist full of cash over this free or so we'll just have to see when it comes to the whole avian flu in china where will it lead and where will the hype lead we'll just have to wait and see well more news to come in just a moment if you can do stay with us live from moscow this is art. clinicians. accreditation three times for charges free. range month free. free studio time free. download free blog plug in video for your media projects a free media dog party dot com. place.

science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered. international airport in the very heart of moscow.

it's just about quarter past the hour here in moscow this is the russian capital has accused the un of trying to undermine the investigation into the use of chemical weapons inside syria and the syrian government claims rebels used illegal agents near the city of aleppo last month killing twenty six the opposition however directs the blame the massacre as well as you can see next to me right now we have all these maria from our show and you've certainly spent a fair amount of time in the country covering the conflict and trying to get a balanced interpretation from both sides here but if you could just tell us why is moscow on the happy with the way the united nations is handling this investigation into the use of chemical weapons almost most crusading that you hands reaction to damascus requests to an investigation is not constructive and doesn't actually help to investigate what happened in syria in march russia's main concern is that iran has asked inside for an unlimited access for its acts free to any place in syria including we can guess military and secret places and also un has demanded to allow

them to interview people they think they should talk to in the frame of this investigation and also the fact that the u.n. has said that the investigators will use every nation in fleet to travel risk and. reaction to what happened in iraq during the investigation over the use of weapons of mass destruction there stressing that results were badly and. many people have already paid their price for that and are still paying the salute absolutely maria but could you just take us back and give us a broader picture here take us back about the alleged use of chemical weapons use and how did this game suddenly lift off you with such drama it's absolutely what it is i mean this is actually what you described that the blame game i mean shortly after that happened and still we don't know exactly what happened but shortly after something happened and we're not far from the country's biggest city aleppo we saw you receive in conflicting reports and as it's often been the case. of

syria during this two year long conflict we started receiving reports from both sides with both sides accusing the other one well. the country's national. stated that the rabble had used. containing cameco agents and. at least fifteen people were killed and mainly civilians the reports were saying the same time we've been hearing from the rabble saying that the army had attacked some targets in syria using chemical agents well the positions of the sides were sounded even similar and it's always been like this it's very hard to verify. or are even now we don't know we're just going to ask you i mean you've been you know you've been covering the conflict you've been on both sides of the front of it how difficult is it to try and

understand which side is actually speaking honestly it's actually it doesn't change anything whether you're in the studio in moscow or in damascus it's very hard to to to to determine who. behind what you can see i mean you can see a terror attack happens i mean you see that i mean. you see a car exploded but you can't say for sure who did that and at the same at the same time it was quite easy because the picture depended on which side you were talking to and. which one the arguments of which side you're hearing well if you are with the rabble than traveling with them and speaking to them that's for sure they all the tunnel blame the army for everything that happens in syria and the same with. the current authorities every time something bad happens they say the rebels are behind but when you when it comes to going to damascus or the some of the outer

lying areas where you were in syria what can you tell us about the methods of war being used by both sides or first of all. the weaponry both sides use in getting more and more sophisticated since both sides have axes. ways to arm them and as for the tactics you know. pretty much all kind of tactics any army in the world is using this is will the army see this in with the rabble them in their tactics very very much one interesting thing that i remember. is that the rebels i mean they're carrying weapons when we see them when they're posing for the cameras but they don't care in the weapons with them all the time and once the army comes to the area to liberate the syria from the rabble they just throw the our friends because they have storage of weapons everywhere. we talk about main cities of syria like damascus the homes of their poor and in many places

throughout syria so they don't have to carry weapons and once the the army comes they throw the weapons and the crittenden being civilians they just leave the area safely and the moment the government forces clear out they put their weapons back our that's too late very very hard to tell you know who is on the opposition who all the rebel fighters are but you know the blame game has been going on since day one maria i understand in the near future you're going to be heading back to that same part of the world so looking forward to more of your reports are to you correspondent a great pleasure to have you in the studio today thank you thank you very much. well a call of despair from palestinian prisoners in israeli jails inmates say they've been left to waste away behind bars and denied any medical treatment of the alleged inhumane conditions or claimed to be behind the recent death of a palestinian official in israeli custody which was followed of course by in the west bank and gaza and we did manage to speak to one of the prisoners who described the plight of those locked up.

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 daya 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 we ended minding an international committee that would visit these prisons and prison hospitals all of them. as mention of the death of. renewed protests tension triggering an all out war in new york the conflict between israel and palestine is reflected in the new wave of propaganda by an activist group supporting both sides and we've got more on the inflammatory rhetoric in a couple of. asia focused but global in scope the twelfth. is kicked off to much fanfare in china as europe and america struggle to boost the economy national leaders and big names in business have gathered to talk about how to give the emerging markets shot in the arm a local correspondent. reports from china. when people hear it can only for

the first thing that comes to mind is this no escape in doubles but this is now 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 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 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 evelyn says across the globe that are just as powerful. and i do stay with us for our continued coverage from this big for. you would delete 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. . the u.s. secretary of state john kerry is due in israel hoping to kick off again peace talks between television from ramallah and follows renewed. by the death of a former hamas member in israeli custody and. found out we have a high tensions in the middle east of spilled over into a full propaganda war but this time in america as the international community continue searching for the best power to a middle east peace agreement the issue has sparked a contentious ad war in new york are purple a sunni and group recently unveiled an ad campaign that calls on the u.s. 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 dozen to two 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 rowe is really a group called the american freedom defense initiative is planning to fire back with a campaign depicting what it calls. 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 burka getting whipped and there the caption reads under islamic law rape victims are tortured or killed unless they agree to marry their rapist now last year the american freedom defense initiative sponsored an ad campaign that compared muslims to savages those in new york city's subway stations jewish organizations in the majority of new yorkers criticize that campaign as. a tone of speech that does

nothing to assist in cementing a permanent peace plan in the middle east. reporting from new york. artsy fartsy time here on the program the latest round of international talks on a bronze nuclear program just wrapped up in kazakhstan no breakthrough there have been reached however western delegates praised the quality of that for the negotiations saying there was a genuine exchange of opinions for the first time the u.s. china russia the u.k. france and germany have all proposed easing economic sanctions in return for iran stopping uranium enrichment at twenty percent tehran says it's responded with its own set of proposals but those of not being with the. thousands of teachers protesting against education and labor reforms have clashed with police in mexico around eight thousand demonstrators marched through the streets of the capitol police barriers outside government offices blocking traffic police then responded

with tear gas the controversial reform which limits union power came off to the arrest of the head of the main teachers' union was accused of stealing over one hundred fifty million bucks. are just a moment here and see we report on the lives of palestinian families living cheek by jowl with an israeli waste this is. you know when the history of any culture there are some dark chapters throughout human history there's been war on every continent and religious strife and oppression every culture has some skeletons in their closet and in recent u.s. history the scandals prison at guantanamo bay as making patriotic american scurrying around a decade or so rather than slamming the door shut on get mall i hate that term

condemning it as one of the greatest mistakes in american history and gloriously declaring on t.v. channels and newspapers the country wide that it shall never be repeated again the pentagon instead wants to blow another forty nine million dollars expanding it even if you are one of the types of things that american gulags are supercool and awesome do you realize that it takes over one million dollars per year per prisoner to keep the place open are you sure you don't want that money to go towards something else like your children's education the thing that burns me up about this the most is that obama promised if elected to close guantanamo bay and as commander in chief of the armed forces he could do this whatever he wanted no amount of filibustering by the republicans could stop him obama you promised hundreds of millions of people to do something very simple start the paper work tomorrow buddy make the nation look better that's your job but that's just my opinion.
