a local had informed officials that he had seen a man covered in blood and they were able to through a helicopter that had that had heat signature technology to be able to track down the young man even though he was covered up in the boat standoff between him and the police lasted for several hours and eventually they were able to arrest him and take into custody we do know that he is in serious medical condition and has been taken to a hospital in boston now to talk a little bit more about the identities of the two brothers of course we're talking about twenty six year old and a nineteen year old who have lived in the united states since two thousand and three the older brother twenty six year old to milan died last night in a shootout with police here greencard the younger brother was a nationalized citizen they have been living in the united states for the last ten years and their colleagues and friends and former schoolmates acted shocked when they found out that these two brothers were behind the boston tragedy we do know

that the f.b.i. in two thousand and eleven upon request of a foreign government had taken the older twenty six year old brother in for questioning trying to establish whether or not he had any leads to which stream is words the united states president of course barack obama has addressed the nation really thinking cooperation and. questioning really the fact that somebody who was brought up in the united states of course the brothers have been here for the last ten years was able to commit such a horrific act and the latest for now is that the younger brother that is now in custody is going to be treated for any kind of injuries that he had there are reports that he had a lot on him and officials have confirmed that he was in fact seriously injured so he will be treated now and then the legal part of this case will certainly move forward and as i said. boston massachusetts. some of the most the memorable pictures from friday's manhunt in boston of able to see the news all the terror

suspects are captured sent a wave of public euphoria through the boston area there is dramatic images there in a special photo section way you can also see how the standoff unfolds it now in an exclusive interview the mother of the two alleged bombers told r.t. that one of her sons had been hounded by the f.b.i. for several years but that there is no way either of the brothers could have been involved in every terrorist attack artie's the medina caution about travel to dagestan and soft rush away the mother now lives to find out more about the family's back story. the investigation into the background. brothers has brought us here to this part of the capital of dagestan now this is the house where their parents live however as we tried to reach them this morning it turned out that they fled to the neighboring region of chain to their relatives to avoid old the

attention meanwhile this morning i managed to speak to the mother of the two brothers and she told me how devastated she is and that she still can't believe that her sons may have been involved in the bore me in our how nobody talked about . my. got involved in the reagan. years ago he was told by a b i like fly by they knew what my. what action what. he was going how could this happen how could they were conjoined we. never ever heard this is not my sons are in and those neighbors we spoke to are shocks they said that it was a very nice and a very quiet family. i know the brothers very well from the childhood we used to

live in chechnya together i was the neighbor then we moved here i know they couldn't have carried out the attack and they couldn't have been involved in it they spent most of their lives in the us study that they didn't have any links with another militant. some of them even remember the brothers especially the older one time let alone when he visited. here so basically the whole neighborhood is just in shock of the alleged bombers have links to russia's north caucasus moscow responded by warning against closing terrorism as either domestic or foreign new york's former mayor rudy giuliani has already admitted that the u.s. has for a long time turned a blind eye to terrorism in russia's north caucasus previously the western media labeled of the region's armed groups as a freedom fighters but as alexia's chefs he reports about perception could not change. when news broke of an unexpected north caucasus traced to the boston

bombings literally every global media outlet was quick to put the word into their headlines told by a source that they fled the russian caucus to chechnya he is an ethnic chechen brothers is that to be ethnic chechens lived in kurdistan and darkest before coming to the u.s. the two suspects were branded as coming from a russian region close to chechnya indeed many may need reminding of the name and location of republic of the good stand where the two supposedly came from but the word certainly rings bells probably because of the media headlines in the one thousand nine hundred and at the beginning of the new millennium that's when russia had a military operation in the north caucasus. russian troops deployed in the republic can finally be drawn the rebels fighting for independence or go have been dramatically reduced it was called the church of independence had no become the ultimate judgment that conflict often went beyond the borders of the chechen republic let's remember apartment buildings bombed in moscow

a theater siege in the russian capital and a school takeover in russia's north thousands of civilians were killed but the men who had blood on their hands were often described as freedom fighters and rebels by the western media at times it even sounded like a romantic image the reality is that in the north caucasus russia has been fighting the same war which america embarked upon after the twin towers were brought down against global terrorism mosco never made a secret that those fighting on the side of the chechen militants were closely tied to al qaeda and were financed from abroad by terrorist organizations worldwide but it's only after nine eleven the transport bombings in madrid and london that understanding the notion that terrorism has no nationality has started to appear in the global media from freedom fighters to armed dangerous terrorists most wanted man in america years have passed media labels have changed the question is whether it change in attitude towards a common enemy will follow in due course. security expert john good that says a washington issued for us abandon its cold war driven policy of sheltering chechen

separatists since the collapse of the soviet union in december one thousand nine hundred one the united states has continued to deal with russian issues based on its old cold war paradigm and to a large degree the us originally came out in support of the chechen cause for independence it was then the enemy of my enemy is my friend paradigm and the russians continue to be perceived as it is a inherently bad inherently evil if you will going back to the soviet era and the american perspective was that any group of people trying to rescue their independence from russia therefore must be good and this all a significant measure of u.s. government will support even to the extent of providing political asylum to one of the chechen leaders who was at the time under indictment for terrorism in russia. and the czech republic has somewhat unwillingly and undeservedly become

a tangled up in the boston terrorist attack after the internet lit up in confusion over exactly where and even watch chechnya was this moment of caucasus province ended up being wildly mistaken for the czech republic member of the european union and they close ally of the united states twitter and ses poor girl have been awash with the end repos about the czech republic's role in the boston bombings in fact to god so bad that the czech government was forced to step in to clear up the confusion the country's ambassador to the united states released a statement condemning the boston attacks and offering condolences to the victims' families but make it quite clear that the czech republic should not be confused with chechnya right national security is something that the united states has been pouring billions of dollars into since nine eleven but after two young men with crude homemade bombs managed to cause devastation at

a public event in boston that investment is now being questioned marina point explains. in a post nine eleven america washington has taken wide reaching measures and defense for and spending has hit unprecedented levels because officials say that's what was needed to keep america safe the department of homeland security was created along with many other law enforcement agencies the patriot act was passed sent up a very complex and far reaching surveillance system which includes c.c.t.v. cameras in major cities facial recognition iris scanning cyber surveillance and officials say this was all to keep americans safe as was the passage of the national defense authorization act in addition to all the measures that have been taken domestically over the past twelve years america has waged two wars overseas that across the country more than two trillion dollars but after the events that

unfolded about boston marathon bombings many critics believe that washington has spent a large amount of money and wasted a lot of resources and at the end of the day it has not kept americans any safer. this illusion that technology is going to save us that filling our skies with drones and covering our buildings with surveillance cameras and treating every airline passenger as an intentional terrorist is going to save us is an incredible delusion means that the causes that are possible here range incredible inequality in our society the promotion of violence in our society the idea that we're going to continue on the course we're on in these terms and then save ourselves through technology. is an incredibly misguided delusion it's just not going to have earlier this week u.s.

secretary of state john kerry insisted that that america's investment in foreign policy is national security insurance. and by making the right small investments upfront kerry insisted that costly conflicts can be avoided in the future but as this past week has shown the cost of pressure cookers does not amount to a lot of money and washington's investment was enough to prevent a deadly terrorist attack in boston that clean the lives of three people and hospitalized more than one hundred seventy reporting from new york. r.t. . tell us how you think of the boston marathon bombing investigation will unfold so far here's what you've said already on r g dot com let's take a look at the poll sixty one percent of you now believe that the truth will never be revealed as the second suspect will die in hospital only sixteen percent of you there believe that the brothers a guilty and acted on their own while only thirteen percent of you think that third

suspect might appear oh well ten percent all of you think that this is a big a mastermind behind this so if you want those numbers to change and you want to hear what you have to say cost that vote at our home. syria's rebels are hoping for in the hardware will come they always seem as we get a few minutes they want actions are not promises from the international back as who are meeting in turkey stay for that. marquee fueling flames of the west to mr pole position gridlocked nobody's agent was involved with the right to be seen to be credible. when the bureaus are busy with a formula for controversy burning rubber on the streets of paris trying to fly ship

welcome back you're watching our team iraq's first election since u.s. combat troops pulled out is being mobbed by attacks reports of blossom mortified new polling stations are mounting capping a campaign that saw a spike in violence in recent weeks with more than a dozen candidates assassinated and sectarian tension rising it doesn't look like the new beginning many hopeful as you see capping off reports from baghdad. there's been about a dozen small explosions in northern cities in iraq in three different areas as well as several rounds of mortar fire that have landed in several cities polling stations targeting polling stations south of baghdad we're hearing that there have been injuries but no casualties confirmed as of yet now this comes amid incredibly tight security restrictions here all across iraq even getting to the studios here in baghdad we had to pass multiple checkpoints and what these attacks indicate is

that despite these security restrictions determined insurgents are still able to carry out waves of violence and of course this comes on the heel on the heels of numerous attacks that have rocked iraq in recent months and weeks now what we're hearing from voters here is that the corruption is really the number one concern they feel that of corruption was addressed in these kinds of attacks wouldn't really be taking place so much well most of them have been blamed on the insurgency the revived insurgency of al qaeda in iraq there are it's clear by talking to voters that there are plenty of other parties and political interests that are vested in this wave of violence that we do know that elections have been postponed in a third of iraq's provinces including the controversial ambar province where large scale demonstrations have been taking place over the past three months against this government we here at r.t. had a chance to get into a very difficult journey despite the roadblocks despite

a ban on journalists to actually enter the area but we want to find out what the people there have to say about these elections and about the situation in iraq today and let's play you that report right now this is rather a dangerous area for me that's why i'm dressed like this i'm trying to not attract as much attention foreign journalists have been banned from covering these protests from entering the anbar province altogether and al qaeda elements are still here in fact among the crowd you'll see some black flags later on when we go into to the crowd. which have been associated with al qaeda groups the protesters have been demanding more equality they feel like they've been discriminated by the shiite led government of nouri al maliki they want a change in power in politics they want more rights they want more quality they also want a different political system now the amber province. has been the heart of the insurgency and the war now it's the heart of the anti-government protest perhaps

a fault line of sorts that threatens to divide iraq let's go and talk to some of the people. who don't believe in this election we don't believe in it because it's sick tarion sectarian tyrion. the candidates for the government the system is unjust which is why we are promising here we are demanding change to the constitution and this government. these people will not be turning out to vote for saturday's provincial elections that's the first election since americans have left from the country in december of twenty eleven the government has postponed elections in several sunni provinces the anbar province where we're located right now as well as the province the government says this is because of security and indeed attacks have been escalating over the past weeks and months but most of the iraqis that you speak to here say that this is not the case it's politically motivated of course the recent weeks have proven

just a bloody backdrop to the elections numerous attacks all across the country have killed scores of civilians there's been political assassinations of candidates running for office political gatherings have been targeted on thursday a car bomb took place in baghdad in a largely sunni area in a cafe internet shop where a lot of young people tended to go out it's a situation that's reflective of the state of iraq today a country that has been torn apart by war but doesn't seem to be and closer to healing the wounds in the divisions that have been on the least during that occupation. john r j you would take a closer look at what life in the wrong has been like since the american troops left revelations from across the spectrum in baghdad taxi nextel. clear image of iraq after invasion. twenty day taxi trip through the country. the road full of. clear evidence

from north to south of. the ridge mountains of iraqi tragedy. after the war waiting for peace. i got a taxi on our t.v. . as sunday's formula want to grand prix in bahrain heads for the start line of the pro-democracy protests solve all revving up tens of thousands have turned out in recent days accusing the event of racing on their blood they blocked the roads with burning tires and hurling petrol bombs at riot police who responded with tear gas there have been more than two years of protests in bahrain often ending in violence with believe with more than seventy people killed on both sides the country's most famous human rights activists in a village obvious serving a jail sentence for posing anti-government messages on twitter have another activist jihan cousin really explains the opposition is almost powerless to influence the situation in the kingdom. during the urgency or

security emergency law before two years the regime was arresting every person who was trying to talk and expose the region violations maybe roger was the only voice who was talking behalf of the people to the media and he was in contact with the human rights organizations being human rights activists unfortunately we don't have that much power to improve the situation what we can do is just to document the cases deliver to human rights organizations and spread the weirdness of being peaceful in the protests by sunni report came up with with this saying that the government should rehab elate torture victims they did not take a step and this saturday is a friends of syria meeting in istanbul may prove a turning point for the rebels who expect their international back has to turn promises into action they want their west and arab allies to provide be arms they

need to topple the regime of bashar assad but the meeting comes against a backdrop of mounting concerns over extremist groups within the rebel ranks as maria for national explains. the meeting in turkey comes when the situation around syria is heating up dramatically and the countries will decide to go are losing patience and well their gender is unclear the right indicators that a military solution could be discussed in istanbul just ahead of the seventeen nation group conference britain and france informed the un but they have credible evidence that syria used chemical weapons at least once while the u.n. investigation over the issue is told two major european powers have stated that soil samples witness interviews and opposition sources prove nerve agents were used in and around the cities of aleppo homes and damascus it hasn't been specified which site did it but president obama had earlier made it clear no matter who is going to utilize chemical weapons once it happens it will be

a red line and while u.s. officials have stressed the deterrent effect of such remarks many have taken it as a clear signal of possible military intervention the mission in turkey also comes just days after america's defense secretary said around two hundred u.s. troops will be sent to jordan's border with syria to bolster jordan's training and defense capabilities as one jordanian minister later commented they have also been confirmed reports that the u.s. agreed to deploy two patriot missile batteries at the border in response to detaining authorities and syrian opposition requests in another significant twist the jackpot a looser front to the most attractive force fighting to topple assad recently confirmed it had links to al qaida something america claimed months before blacklisting the group as a terrorist organization but even after these revelations the head of the syrian national coalition them rela uniting political and military opposition groups and recognized by the majority of the friends of syria group referred to as druthers russia has warned the meeting in istanbul could have

a negative effect in promoting dollars between the sides of the conflict and in its hopes common sense will prevail rich national chain from middle east. some of this hour's world news now a powerful earthquake measuring six point six in magnitude as russia china southwest and she won a province in leaving one hundred twenty people did thousands of others injured and almost ten thousand homes destroyed army units have been deployed to the stricken area to search for survivors it's in the same region that suffered a massive earthquake five years ago which killed nearly seventy thousand people. but it sounds of former leader pervez musharraf will remain in judicial custody for two weeks after being arrested on friday it's unclear whether he'll be placed under house arrest police custody or in jail until his next court appearance on may the fourth musharraf is accused of illegally detaining judges and suspended the constitution up to imposing emergency rule back in two thousand and seven

a former military leader could be jailed or full life if convicted. by these thousands of protesters have turned out in the town to in all the way in spain angry at the arrest of six of the basque aide to youths who were taken into custody on friday morning they were convicted by a madrid want to pull belonging to the band of pro independence organization that is allied to the eta group which has ordered a decades long violent nationalist campaign for the bus region. you know if that's a day cause a ripple it's yeah and i see in just a few minutes. oh

no who lazy bureaucratic and trivial censorship strikes again but this time in russia a bill has been signed into law that will put fines on individuals and legal entities for using vulgar already in the media one major flaw of many with this is that they really don't know which words are going to be considered vulgar i guess these words are so awful that they cannot even write them down i'm not naïve there has 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 conducts more and eyes ation of society russian t.v. does have all the bloody violent action movies as well as scandalous talk shows which are kind of 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. comes there are twenty people blooded limbs flying that that is totally ok for television unless they come out for bid swear 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. news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images. from the streets of canada. showing operations to rule the day.

welcome to the kaiser report imax kaiser there's ever get the feeling that nobody actually knows what they're talking about that politicians central bankers and unelected bureaucrats are just talking out of the bottle it appears you're right they've just been making it all up stacey max when you look out across the world and we've had this financial collapse one thing you've noticed the response that unifies all our western nations is austerity make the people pay for their sovereign debt crying that we're not sovereign debt crimes first but we're financial debt crimes second person of all so there's been a big little loops this week reinhart.
