than theirs and i have brothers who who'd spent around half their lives living in the us are believed to have carried out monday's twin explosions which killed three and wounded more than one hundred days later they were traced in a fierce manhunt is all one brother did and the other critically wounded he is now under armed guard and associates looks back at the week which kept boston in fear. mayhem took place here at an area still cordoned off at a sporting event that attracted tens of thousands of participants and thousands of spectators from all over the world two bombs went off just seconds apart from each other at the finishing line of the boston marathon the explosions were so strong that the second degree flying on rooftops ripping off people's lives leaving three people dead and over one hundred seventy five people injured despite all of the money the united states security it was a surveillance camera of a department store that helped pinpoint the two brothers behind the tragedy several memorials like this one have been set up throughout the city of boston to remember

the victims of the three people who died including an eight year old boy to young women a twenty nine and twenty three year old over a dozen victims remained in critical condition for several days many of them needing follow up surgeries despite having between the two suspects lived in an apartment on the third floor of this building in cam bridge now they came to the united states the two brothers of chechen origin back in two thousand and two the younger brother joe hart became a naturalized citizen on september eleventh last year the older brother had a green card dreamt of joining the united states olympics boxing team to get a passport all of the people who knew them were shocked to find out that they're the suspects in the bombings but law enforcement officials are saying that they had indications from the russian government to look into the identity of the older brother to milan they did in fact bring him in for questioning back in two thousand and eleven to try to establish any possible links to extremist groups at this time

they removed the older brother and of course now following the days after the bombings at the finishing line of the boston marathon law enforcement yet again tried to stab wish any possible links the brothers might have had with extremist groups after monday's bombings late on thursday afternoon the f.b.i. finally released photos of the two suspects the ended up coming out of their. fighting killing an mit officer hijacking a car releasing the person to whom that car belonged and got in a car chase with police the police officers said that the two brothers were throwing explosive devices out of their car and shooting over a dozen police officers were wounded as a result eventually the older brother twenty six year old to milan got out of the car to continue the shootout with the police officers the younger brother stayed in the car ended up running over his older brother getting a win the car which he eventually abandoned and was able to get away on foot in the meantime police officers captured to marilyn and took him to this hospital in

boston suffering multiple injuries this is where he died shortly after one thirty am on friday morning and unprecedented manhunt for joe hart continued for over twenty hours involving thousands and thousands of federal and local law enforcement officers were currently in watertown just several minutes outside of boston now law enforcement officials have established a perimeter in this area going from door to door trying to locate joe harz whereabouts where they ended up with finding him was just a block away from the area they were searching he was hiding out in one of the houses in this area in a dry docked boat a local neighbor in the person living in this area saw a blood trail and led police to the area where just car was hiding now a helicopter off the officials was also able using heat signature technology to locate joe hart hiding out in this boat even though he was covering himself up now

it's important to note a. two hour standoff and shootout between police and joe hart continued eventually we know that there was negotiating attempts because the officials were very interested in getting him alive eventually they were able to arrest him take him into custody following his arrest or higher was taken to. the same hospital where his brother died also suffering severe injuries he's undergoing medical treatment under heavy security and officials are saying that the legal proceedings against him will begin as soon as he's able to communicate after a week filled with tragedy shock fear and a mass lockdown in the city of boston has breathed out a sigh of relief that locals want to see justice and find out the motives behind the terror rocks that made so many question the illusion of safety they have been living under mr marty massachusetts. the suspects of family claims they had been and the f.b.i.

surveillance for the past five years and refused to believe the young men carried out the atrocity are t. traveled to the north caucasus where the brothers parents now live to learn more about their background. that middle and sad and naive and amateur boxer who dreamt of representing his adopted country the united states he claimed to have no american friends but married a local woman katherine and they shared a daughter by contrast his younger brother john had a period well adjusted popular in high school and even won a college scholarship yet sadly they were revealed as the main suspects in the boston marathon bombings their father was the first to step up to claim his two boys were set up i'm confident of my children's innocence and i'm not sure what how thought i'm only god knows no one in the household ever owned any weapons i think my children may have been framed their mothers to be duds shared her biggest

suspicion telling r.c. that her family was under constant surveillance raising the question why her sons were not stopped if they were supposedly planning terrorists in our house nobody talked about the caribbean my son printed on or got involved in the reagan years ago he was told by a b i like by five he knew that they knew what my thought was the one they knew what action and what. we were going how could this happen how could they they were conjoined we. never ever had this is not my two sons are in an ethnically chechen that same night family first moved from kyrgyzstan to dagestan a republican rushes north caucasus this is the house where the brothers parents live but now there is no one here it's not a nice family i voicing any contact with the media neighbors here are in deep shock

at the news in disbelief that any of this happening to the saturn i 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 studied the works there they didn't have any links with the hobbyists and other militants the youngest brother joe hart on his plate of the social network went back to mansion at this school number one in my high school and money those places where he used to study however here are very few people remember that our lives brothers. the family came to doug a stun in september two thousand and one with the boys from year olds to our school then they apparently managed to get papers to leave duncan stone they left in less than a year they didn't spend a long time here and they didn't grow up. in search of a new line and new ambitions indeed after a decade in the u.s.

the heart became an american citizen last year but in that time something or someone made the top of my brother's seemingly turn against the nation which gave them asylum and wish they'd spent the most significant part of their lives by in the bush no artsy reporting from russia's stand republic. joining me now live is former f.b.i. agent colleen a rally mr ali as we've been reporting a russia apparently warned the f.b.i. that one of the suspects was following radical islam but the f.b.i. found nothing suspicious how likely is it that the u.s. security forces missed these vital clues that could have prevented the boston attacks. well of course i've written a piece called chechen terrorists in the neo cons where i allude to part of the problem but in fact the lack of follow up that the f.b.i. has had is not unusual the three other you know

terrorist cases we've had in the united states abdul matal of the underwear bomber should and even major hassan were also you know characterized by lack of investigation and follow up even when for instance in the underwear bomber the father called up so these tips these very key tips are going on investigated it is the case also of musawi before nine eleven where i was the whistleblower about these failures and we continue to see this play out over and over where the real terrorist incidents are ignored where it while the f.b.i. puts enormous resources into profiling and of course even some cases subtly pressuring entrapping all kinds of other cases so why is this happening why this reaction why they are not taking some. you know reports seriously and then

they take some suspicious seriously how how is this happening in a place with security is so tight everybody is monitor and if they key words like radicalism and bombs all we could to kill people short of those i keywords that the f.b.i. should have picked up on either either way whether it's homegrown or anywhere else they would have done that the same thing else which well there's two are possible explanations here and maybe both one is what i was just talking to there is this idea that when you're looking for a needle in a haystack the answer is to put more hay so they are collecting lots of data watts of data massive data and innocent americans that's all part of this top secret america and actually it hurts. the ability then to hone in on the real critical pieces and this again is what i just mention the other potential explanation is that you know that this idea terrorism is such

a confusing concept because we have our terrorists and their terrorists it's the definition is supposed to be acts of violence against civilians for political purposes but you see this over and over where there the you us considers that there are good rebels and good freedom fighters at the very least the separatists in other countries are not considered as terrorists we have a whole establishment neo conservative establishment in the us now are heavily involved in propagandizing that there are good rebel groups for instance in iran is the latest example of the mujahideen call that actually was on the u.s. terrorist list but now have been delisted to become the good rebel fighters against iran ok let me quickly ask you this then after the revelation of the suspects came out that they were of chechen origin the u.s. media quickly shifted their focus to the armed groups in chechnya which they put

trade as the freedom fighters but now as for roche's terrorists how would you explain that i might be as a terrorist yes and of course my my piece is as how shocked i was watching rudy giuliani on a morning news show a couple of days ago saying that he was so surprised that the that this had a link to check she and groups because in his case his meal kind buddies including the former cia director woolsey had been are part of a group that are helping and trying to legitimize the chechens and the reason they're doing this as they did with the mac the same group that by the way is for a political reason. it's and of course this is it may be rude giuliani is that ignorant he doesn't even understand but in the musawi case which was the only example of finding a terrorist suspect before nine eleven the brill hang up and problem in that case

was because the f.b.i. and other figures did not understand that the chechen group and was actually considered under faisel law for purposes of getting authorization to monitor you you need to show that the person is acting on behalf of a foreign power which includes of a terrorist group and there was a lot of confusion as to whether it been could have at the time loose our we had intent there was intelligence he was working for was actually a part of a spice legitimate slice of foreign power so to juliani was completely disingenuous feigning surprise at this because if he if he even had the slightest understanding of nine eleven he would know this mr ali i'm just a little time with you but i just want to quickly ask you the group of congressman says that the surviving suspect to be denied a different

a defense attorney and he should be declared an enemy combatant competent and shipped to guantanamo what do you make of that well it's very difficult to go against this horrible propaganda in the united states that draws wrong conclusions from. there we're going to end up with thousands of cameras in public places we're going to end up with the f.b.i. doing even more of its ill considered preemptive targeting and and making these boasts that they can prevent which is not true it's actually the opposite and in fact we're also going to we're we're going to probably see. terrible conclusions formed and public safety exception by the way preexisted nine eleven the. we should have been able to interview very in a very limited way without an attorney in order to prevent future deaths the reason when that was disregarded after nine eleven and actually for several years it led

the us to overreact with the commissions and what cheney and john yoo did which was take the us to the dark side of torture and all of these extremely illegal actions for my f.b.i. agent coleen rowley speaking to us live here on r.t. thank you thank you bye to all the details on the boston bombings of the manhunt of that followed and the investigation all available on our t.v. dot com also there you can see some of the most dramatic images from this week in boston that and much more on life. in the in.

the boston marathon attacks were not the only tragedy to hit the u.s. this week paul full blast all routes through a small texas town and when state off to fertilise upon caught fire at least fourteen people lost their lives most of i mean emergency responders and almost two hundred were injured at. a boat during the break i think we're getting you know the explosion which is believed to have been an accident a flattened entire neighborhoods in the town of west leaving several schools and a nursing home in ruins a spokesman for the texan department of public safety was at the scene and describes what he saw. i can tell you i was there i walked through the blast area are search some houses earlier tonight massive just like iraq just like the murray

building in oklahoma city same chrono exploded so you can imagine what kind of damage we're looking out there. i think is us is believed to have been called spy on morning and night trade a potentially explosive stored at the plant in large quantities fears of a toxic leak and for the explosions led to a mass evacuation but now the people are returning to their homes there remains a question mark over how the plan slipped through the next the net of safety inspections jeffrey pattison from the school of medicine at wisconsin university things federal regulations of protecting business interest at the cost of human life there's been this montreaux that we have to deregulate we have to take away regulations so business can thrive and obviously we see examples like this or fukushima for example where when we do that we suffer the consequences in the end and so i think and we're seeing it with the environmental protection agency today

where they are probably getting new regulations if there is a mother she lurcher that will allow all of the cleanup to be in much more lax than it currently is and not force people to be moved out of the area because of radiation damage so there's this tremendous move. to to deregulate things to take away the powers of the e.p.a. and other regulatory agencies and i think that's a we're seeing now that that's a very dangerous precedent there's little time to celebrate full vent as well as new leader as he gives a rough of rider from his rivals as we report when we come back.

thanks for staying with us here on our team nicolas maduro has taken the reins of power in one of the world's most oil rich nations he was sworn in as one as well as president on friday but it's been a rough start for the chosen successor of the late good chavis has as never victories fog post-election violence that left seven people dead the government blames the opposition for instigating the clashes which erupted when thousands of supporters do as main rival took to the streets they demanded a total vote recount country's top electoral body finally agreed to a partial audit but cautioned that the result was irreversible until william. robinson professor also shelley g. at california university says the protests that might be part of an ongoing effort to destabilize venezuela. this is good a new tactic on the part of washington and on the top of the a not a new tactic on the part of the new of the venezuelan opposition and generally the far right in

latin america which aligns with washington the idea is you have an all out to stud was and this civilization campaign this is simply another tactic within that campaign there's been diplomatic isolation economic sabotage our military activity the attempted coup d'etat in two thousand and two massive us financing for the internal opposition including for property they say and for the organizations that he represents and so we see this very often when there's all the action which is very close and when the united states wants to get rid of the government in this case then the do the job is with little governments around an election it will launch violence and trying to create chaos and instability and the united states will not recognize the results and this is really at least of this is an incredible the focusing on the part of u.s. foreign policy because mexico just had elections in which there was massive for all because mexico is a close ally of the united states it's the u.s. immediately recognizes the results in the rooms the charges by opposition that therefore there is such as no moral authority whatsoever to talk about the going to

sort of them elections. and we've got a more analysis on what the paris charges landscape in venezuela could look like on our comp don't miss out on our invasion section the way you'll find dramatic pictures from the recent protests that along with plenty of other stories waiting for you online. the checkered flag to come down on formula one's about rain at grand prix a race which just hours before it began protests against the lead to even to being hosted in the country it followed days of mass protests leading up to the race by activists angry that it was being used to must the gulf kinda grave human rights abuses rallies for democratic reform have been ongoing for over two years of in turning violent with more than seventy people killed on both sides a crackdown even extends to writing on twitter with the country's most famous fumin rights activist the real roger being behind bars for posting anti government messages are she's going to boycott reports now on his struggle. not long before

his imprisonment bahrain's most famous human rights campaigner was in london talking to another prominent activist and whistleblower julian a son so we came here to london's ecuadorian embassy which the wiki leaks founder has been calling home for some ten months now in order to have a chance about the man at the forefront of bahrain's pro-democracy struggle i began by asking assigns why he was so keen to invite me to be over a job for an inside view on his exclusive r.t. show braid has nine hundred thousand people. has one hundred fifty thousand twitter followers or is predominantly all the people to vote for. since the risk of a number of other activists in the brain scream. that you wrote you. were right was the most prominent voice for the. speaking to julian

assange over job was on. equiv the cold about his determination to fight for democracy in bahrain if you have a goal if you believed in did just tools you'll recall. you will tell me if you want to overcome those difficulties and you know that the changes that you are fighting for it's been good for hundreds so fields is not an easy thing to change through to achieve those changes you have to be willing to pay a price and my that price might be your lives for to be over a job that price has become is freedom three months after that interview was that he was sentenced to three years behind bars but according to a staunch keeping him in prison on the current charges is going to be increasingly difficult for the bahraini government. cartoonish form of despotism he did not resign on him to the same standard of criticizing your authority it's hard for the

people with that much courage you can. become to be coward so i think is long term prospects accorded good amnesty international have labeled him a prisoner of conscience but unless the international community wakes up to abuses in bahrain there's little hope that maybe over jobs going to be tasting freedom any time soon ali boyko r t london's ecuadorian embassy. coming up at fourteen hundred dollars per ounce gold is helping fill the colombian civil war in a few minutes r.t. takes you to the route on the right.

i reckon cardiologist dr omar our. he c. claims that the war in iraq destroyed iraq's environment even worse than dropping the bomb on hiroshima did dr al kooper he see puts to data that the number of pressed cancer cases has grown in the country from fifteen to thirty times cases of congenital heart disease have become fifteen times more frequent and cases of leukemia have increased thirty fold the doctor puts the blame on the weapons used in the one thousand nine hundred one and two thousand and three invasions of iraq and which nato forces used white phosphorus depleted uranium rounds and other toxic gases and poisonous substances human rights watch and the world health organization have measured radiation levels in iraq and consider many places in iraq even some very far from the fighting to be contaminated naturally radiation is not racist and foreign soldiers in iraq are not immune usa today even published research results that found that depleted uranium was indeed in the lungs and other organs of navy vets who filed for health compensation claims yet you know saddam hussein seemed

like a pretty bad guy but there are always ways to get around the confines of a dictatorship but there is no way to escape from radiation it is truly present so for the invasions of iraq good for the iraqis well it doesn't seem to be doing too good for their physical health but that's just my opinion. the international and world in the very heart of moscow.
