boston marathon i have left a story that including an age old border more than one hundred forty are in hospital with a virus injuries many have lost limbs in the bombings is necessary trick you know has the latest now from the scene all the traffic. the state of massachusetts holiday turns into a tragedy in the heart of boston just several minutes before three pm local time at the finishing line of the boston marathon two explosions seconds apart from each other killing at least three people according to witnesses who were on the ground during the explosions the situation was extremely chaotic terrifying body parts were seen flying about blood everywhere i was there with my sister she had left work early and she when the first bomb went off there was just a silence that went over the crowd and then i immediately screamed started happening and she grabbed my hand and just start running so we started running but the place for we were at where the stage comes out where people run through the

finish line crowd automatics and it became an immediate really very very scary situation where a woman was on her bike and had fallen and people were just able to get out and at that point the second bomb went off and i that was what i really found and made up this was something that i could perhaps die from and i think that was when i became more of a this wasn't just an accident are an electrical problem that this was definitely an intentional act and in terms of the measures that local officials had put in place we do know that a no fly zone was imposed over boston for several hours earlier today no flights are allowed back into the city again so phone service was shut off for several hours also in fear that further explosions more remote donations could take place and of course so several hotels in the area including the one behind me people were evacuated from those hotels the locals were advised to stay home and not to come

out into public spaces we do know of course that security is going to be heightened in the hours and days to come here in boston and it has also been beefed up in major cities throughout the united. it's including of course new york city where two successful terror attacks so-called successful terror attacks had taken place and sixteen plots averted in the last two years and in terms of what's going on in boston right now we do know the investigation is ongoing the f.b.i. is right now in charge of this case but we're being told that police here on the ground are looking into surveillance photo of a man carrying two backpacks but no people have been taken into custody as of yet and one of the major questions that remains to be answered is whether or not this attack was a domestic or foreign one and. boston massachusetts and no one has yet claimed responsibility for the tower entente well the white house

says the perpetrators will feel the full weight of justice. reports u.s. president barack obama said that the u.s. does not yet have all the answers as to who is behind the attack why they did this but obama said the u.s. will find out who did it and will hold him accountable he would not go into detail he said an investigation is ongoing and that. the u.s. federal officials will be helping out boston in any way that city needs as they continue searching for clues as to what caused two to the bombings there were proximately twenty seven thousand people participating in the boston marathon and tens of thousands on the streets watching the event and also securing the perimeter ironically there were so many police officers on the scene so many emmaus workers and yet this explosion went off and just about ten seconds later a second explosion went off there is some horrific images out there of some of the

victims some of whom lost limbs what history has shown is that if the u.s. is attached washington to brutality and it has retaliated over the course of more than a decade we did have. the patriot act in the aftermath of the september eleventh attacks that department of homeland security was created then the controversial drone program was implemented under the ministration of forged w. bush and it was carried out double down by president barack obama but what many would argue is that even with all those different measures put in place through war and through surveillance that it still doesn't prevent horrific attacks like the one that was seen unfolding in boston. and veteran john says the bombing will be used by washington to justify additional security steps as the extensive measures already in place to prevent the tragedy. even with peter

attack even with the end the even with the surveillance states that it's been going on even with with that with all the wars going on you know in enough gas and in yemen and in pakistan and all the truth program is attacked not to happen i'm not going to speculate on on who did what and whether or not this was caused by a foreign national it was just it was caused by domestic terrorists one thing is for sure that the government the united states government will use this as an excuse to continue and to tread on the trajectory of even more pure israel and even law our security of even more i mean what's next t.s.a. at every marathon t.s.a. in every street corner and that's going to be the solutions and that's going to be put forward for the past that basically past decade you know when you when you call

someone on the terrorist you're basically saying that what the government does to terrorists or people accused of terrorism to your own came with your opinion with them being indefinitely detained being put in and get no you're ok with them being spied on you are you are ok with them being assassinated because that there's what picture this government is doing to people suspect did of terrorism stay with us here on the latest on the boston bombing and we've got more details and analysis on that taco bell website. and that is all this capital caracas police have five tear gas to disperse crowds protesting that the trial results of the presidential election it came after venezuela's electrode body rejected calls for a recount of sunday's vote that china says hunt picked successor when by a razor same majority and there's also reports continuing with the trial the smoke course is going to prove a tough task for the new president elect. when the results of the presidential

election on april fourteenth was announced there were huge celebrations in this district heavily supporting nicolas maduro the so-called successor of us now his supporters tell me that although the margin between my daughter and his main opposition in this was very small they say that with this victory the spirit of the . chavez continues to live on in the for a very very big job there's a lot of problems that he has to solve even supporters reiterate the fact that there are a lot of problems that have to be addressed such as food shortages medicine shortages as well as the issue of crime been really want this addressed because they say they just don't feel safe on the streets but there was also the parroting of the one of the world's largest oil reserves as the world will be watching on how this is going to be managed moving forward and also model will have a quite a very short a grace period in proving his ability to unite

a very divided country we've seen in the elections it was almost a fifty fifty split between between model and the u.s. and one more task would be to see the military support you know that will go chavez was was a former army tank commander you have the military support and this is something that model will have to work on but perhaps the biggest challenge for nicolas maduro is filling his predecessor shoes as many of his supporters have been saying a vote for model is in fact a vote for who got shot this. independent election observers dr drew now buxton believes the simming the front of vote could spark major tensions around the oil rich state. slim margin but the races are observed yesterday was one that was fair it was transparent this is a fully automated voting for sestak obviously it was a very very narrow victory for him adorable really to call into question the capacity in the technical feasibility of the voting system i think is very very unfortunate i think the way that these should be presented is actually to the see any which the should then investigate rather than this being something which is used as a mechanism to generate publicity so i think we really need to wait for the results

of the see any investigation before we can comment on that my immediate concern now is that if the united states does not recognize the election process here in the picture that the right this is going to once again put venezuela on the united states on a very very strong bilateral clash is going to be even more problems going forward in that relationship spain i believe has come out and said that it's not had to recognize the victory at the moment again i think it's very unfortunate in some way responsible for these countries to be pronouncing so soon and we really need to see the old it's of this voting process before we should be making such diplomatic declarations. and coming up in a couple of minutes as greece secures the next tranche of bailout funds from his international lenders in exchange for slashing thousands of jobs and also he takes a look at what the economics trade has done to the country's industrial sector that's one of the bright. wealthy british scientists i. asked time to write my book.

negotiations but only if america softens its stance. there have been a number of initiatives coming from the obama administration some meetings in the past over the first term even though the official policy was of course strategic patience in other words basically ignoring north korea's long as possible china of course is very interested in seeing negotiations go forward south korea under its new leadership are going to have a has proposed discussions with the north so all signs point toward negotiations on the other hand the united states has also said look there might be some preconditions here and preconditions in the past of basically scotched any attempt to have any negotiations so i think of the united states really wants to see some negotiations moving forward it's going to have to go to the table without any preconditions and staying with north korea the b.b.c. is under fire for pushing the boundaries of ethics for

a good story the london school of economics believes the broadcasting used a trip by students as a cover to shoot a documentary about the secretive state without the university's full consent they general secretary of the elysees students' union alex because day explains why the situation is causing such anger that. group was just told that their one journalist would be a print journalist only it wasn't until they actually arrived in north korea did they find out that they'll be a document to which they be appearing on it wasn't until they arrived in beijing to fly over to north korea that they were joined by the journalist when we're talking about a trip like this where the risks are involved i think it's so important that students would have been briefed all stages and would be made aware and they just went in this case the b.b.c. deliberately mis held information from them i mean they could have been detained a couple of years ago and to an american journalist were found to have been doing undercover journalism in north korea they're both sentenced to nine years of hard labor obviously right now as we just head the climate north korea is even more heightened than it was back then but students should have the right to make that

decision for themself whether or not they're going to face danger on the problem for us is that the b.b.c. made that decision for them and students after returning home they received threatening letters from the north korean government and now we're in a situation where not only is the wealth of our students at risk but also elysees work i couldn't work in researching places like north korea and other political sense of areas which is so important and that's been jeopardized because alice is now associated with undercover illegal activities with students' lives and i think that's not ok and for the b.b.c. to go out publicly and say deceit is ok and that and the length they will get their thirty minute documentary i think i send such a negative message especially at this time when the b.b.c.'s reputation isn't perfect and i think they should make sure they have enough trust in their viewers. later the poor are wrong we're live a broadcasting in britain so that's has caused a raise in the u.k. to let the public go cost as dangerously impartiality close and present their

coverage in a way that reflects company's dues and opinions the details are coming up. after paying tribute to its fallen on memorial day on monday and celebrations voices sixty fifth anniversary the stitches come as until iran rhetoric reaches fever pitch and the palestinian issue remains an open wound with a peace solution nowhere on the horizon is policy or. the country celebrates its sixty fifth birthday but it comes against the backdrop of settlement expansion continuing it also ignores the existence of a huge palestinian population of which israel cannot control these kind of steps threaten many are warning and in fact in fact we see this in many editorials they threatening to turn israel into a non democratic country where doc style of religion holds sway and there is a sizable and noticeable upsurge in the form of white religious minority in this

country that although small does have a very vocal representation and this is why many are saying sixty five years on the country claims to be the only democracy in this region but there are real concerns over just how much power the religious have on monday the country held its national memorial day it is a day for israel's foreign soldiers as well as victims of terror there were a number of alternative memorials that were held these call for attention to be paid to palestinian victims that they received very little attention in the mainstream media the criticism by and large is that it will commemorate all its wars as having head the higher moral ground when in fact there are very big questions over whether or not many of the wars were in fact legitimate war such as the fifty six sinai. campaign the eighty two war in lebanon and the two palestinian intifada these are wars that are controversial but they are not presented like that in the general israeli discourse although there are widespread celebrations

throughout the country there are a lot of person and important and critical questions that are being asked the situation between israel and its bordering countries is unclear the situation between israel and the palestinian territories is ambiguous and the future status over jerusalem is also unresolved many are saying that in fact the situation between israel and its neighbors remains fragile and unstable which is why many are asking what exactly is there to cheer about sixty five years on. the u.s. military has confirmed the number of hunger striking detainees at guantanamo bay has gone up again are now stands at forty five that's still around three times less than the figure claimed by the noise of the captives as the protests news the middle of its months any desperation has been growing with security guards firing normally lethal rounds over the weekend when several inmates resisted being booed into single cells in the she says it's for speeding so the cops moves to prevent

them from dying from starvation in a while administration officials say washington is still committed to shutting down the facility despite legal hurdles preventing its closure even repatriation of detainees cleared for release years ago and he gave. here's a breakdown of who's currently held captive at the u.s. prison in guantanamo fifty four percent are yemeni nationals that is ninety five captives out of one hundred sixty six just a few more figures a total of eighty six personnel as there have been cleared for release fifty six of them yemeni nationals three years ago the u.s. suspended all transfers of detainees to yemen what seems to aggravate the psychological torture of indefinite detention is knowing that your nationality is something that you cannot control is the sole basis of that ordeal the first lawyers say what they deal with now is collective punishment by the u.s. government based on nationality which is a clear violation of international law when pressed for answers the administration

the state department specifically which was in charge of those transfers they point the finger at congress at the moratorium that the lawmakers put in place that the defense authorization act that they passed but lawyers say those are just excuses our clients are coming to grips with culture they may well die it's going to not because the state is unable to transfer but because unwilling to do so as of now it's not just the yemeni nationals who are stuck in this legal limbo but the rest as well michael williams senior advisor for. guantanamo policy in the office of the legal advisor at the u.s. department of state testified before a human rights commission and here's what he said we will continue to work through the secretary of state and the other arms u.s. government to accomplish transfers some here have voiced the idea that whatever is keeping most of those people there has nothing to do with the law but more with the fear that even those who had been wrongfully captured and held there for years for

no reason have witnessed so much at that prison including torture and other forms of humiliation that fear that the u.s. may have created its own enemies there you have dozens of people cleared for release and still languishing in prison so they may have fallen victim not just to their wrongful capture but now to do worse politicians assumptions of what they may or may not do in the future in washington i'm going to check on. our web site www dot com to get more comprehensive coverage of today's top news stories from around the world and you can find a bride born of lame alito this guy above the spanish capital madrid boxing astronomers and onlookers learn more about the mysterious object online. as they are going to go on and he's expected to bring the country's most notorious legal industry poppy cultivation is reportedly set to hit a record high this year. calls

are being made in britain to reassess the way the country's broadcasters bring news to the public and initiative and insta free them from their legal duty to uphold impulsion ality and love the coverage reflect the opinions of their own as oh she is one of the cover cults. the way that newspapers and news channels are regulated in the u.k. is stossel any different so newspapers and online news portals they still regulate themselves that means that they can be as politically biased as they please the example being the guardian on the left in the u.k. or the london times on the right but for news channels it's a whole different story they're legally bound by often to be impartial and if they're deemed not to be they can be fined or even have their license revoked but in a day and age when the media is converging and news portals are looking more like television channels and television channels have their own websites is this regulation surely

distinction fair and does it make sense well the lords communication committee have come out with a report recommending that the government removes the impartiality rules from known public broadcasting i'm joined by lord richard inglewood who's the chairman of the lords communication committee to talk about this so if the way that the industry is regulated right now is outdated is that impartiality for us to compete york city tonight not entirely no for many of the carried the public service broadcasters in this country should exist at the exactly the same way as they do not doesn't personality exist at all well it's a very slippery concept as you quite rightly say but one of the advantages of a plural media landscape is that different people will approach the question of. impartiality from slightly different perspectives i don't think you can say impartiality means that there is one way of doing it which is the only right way

but what impartiality does do is cut out the kind of political pressure to. ising but you're quite right in saying you find it quite a number of newspapers and in certain news providers from outside our jurisdiction already you can get stuff off the internet from these other companies providing with extremely partial support for the end of the day in the world of the internet if you really want to know you're always going to be able to find in effect a load or it should inglewood thank you very much for your comment well thank you very much for taking part in the race has managed to secure the next tranche of bailout funds worth eight point eight billion euros from the european union after agreeing to cuts that include slashing four thousand a public sector jobs almost three times more jobs are expected to become next year with a plan to later employ young that stuff on smaller wages on does the country struggles to get back on its feet it's being humbled by an industrial sector literally clambering to pieces on his own boat on what the story. cobwebs

a ghost factory and the only fertilizer coming in here is imported from elsewhere in europe it produced specialist fertilizers until one day the workers were called together and told by the owners that the know how for their products had been sold off and that operations would be stopped they are all at the it's criminal that a profitable industry will shut down an industry that produced high quality material only the human workers now see the cruel irony that since the factories closing fertilizer prices have tripled but it's a wider fear that one skilled workforce is a laid off it's all too hard to bring them back from us in the path of those if this the unemployment rate here is thirty percent or by the years and it could be over thirty eight with no fission policy the situation is out of control yes he said because the mother got the workers across northern greece are desperate desperate to keep their jobs to get back into jobs and to be paid for their work it

always been and will always be censorship but this where word list is just silly there is a common expression on the russian internet that russian mainstream media connects up more and i is ation of society russian t.v. does have all the bloody violent action movies as well as scandalous talk shows which are kind of more like freak shows and plenty of reality t.v. where young people pretty much act like subhuman animals in a cage they've got all that so the government is basically saying that if some guy on t.v. because there are twenty people blooded limbs flying that that is totally ok for television unless they come out for bid sweer while doing it you can show brainless materialistic dimwits sleeping and fighting with everything that moves on a reality show but if they say that one magic three letter russian word then it is over the line this is not a logical way to conduct censorship but that's just my opinion.
