spittal and has been able to make a written statement for the first time the nineteen year old received a throat injury during a fierce standoff with police and is still unable to speak charges against the alleged bomber due to be filed later on monday for more details now he is anxious to see. he's currently at a boston hospital being treated for injuries we're hearing that he is awake and answering officials questions sporadically in writing they're asking him about any further possible accomplices in the boston bombings case as well as whether or not any further explosive devices should be of concern to officials but as of yet we're not hearing any details officials are not revealing any details in terms of the answers that is giving them course all of this comes after he was arrested friday night after a mass lockdown took place in boston after a unprecedented manhunt that took place here and a several hour shootout between law enforcement and this nineteen year old suspect

we do know that he suffered injuries to his throat and was unable to speak and this is precisely what officials have been waiting for to be able to communicate with him to find out the motives to the boston bombings as well as the participation of any per possible further accomplices apart from the two brothers that have been hunted by a officials here throughout the week nineteen year old dzhokhar and twenty six year old to milan and of course we have to note that the miranda rights have been revoked the rights and he has to remain silent as well as the rights to a lawyer are being denied to him because officials are interested in being able to question him without being able to use this right and the fact that his miranda rights have been revoked is receiving major criticism throughout the united states and causing really a lot of debate between certain politicians and civil rights groups also it's important to mention that republican lawmakers in the united states have been suggesting that to be treated as an enemy competent this is also been a topic of much debate because we are of course talking about a u.s.

citizen as we do know in back in two thousand and eleven they did receive a request from a foreign government this is russia's government that said that they should look into the identity of the older brother the older suspect to milan back that he was twenty four years. old and the f.b.i. did receive recommendations that they investigate him they did in fact ring to milan in for questioning the followed his phone calls they intercepted his social relationships as well as his activity online but did come to a conclusion that he is not dangerous and did end up freeing him and of course because the f.b.i. right now is being criticized for this they're going to trace their steps back look into what exactly they could have missed but also try to establish right now with the second suspect being alive whether the two brothers had any kind of connection to extremist groups that they might have overlooked two years ago and in the time in the years and days leading up to the bombings that took place here in boston also of course they're going to consider and look into the purposes of the trip

that the older brother to milan when he went back to the north caucuses for about six months they're going to try to see whether or not this time was used for him to be able to communicate with extremist groups on the ground and r.t. boston massachusetts while i form a federal agent says the u.s. needs to rethink its policy on terrorism and who it deems to be a danger to the country. this idea terrorism is such a confusing concept because we have our terrorists and they are terrorists it's that 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 the us terrorist list but now we have been delisted to become the good rebel fighters against iran and. the revelation that the boston terror suspects are of chechen origin has seen an influx of journalists to russia's north caucuses where the brother's family live while the parents are no longer willing to comment on the issue r.t. has been i would say speak to another relative who knew the alleged bombers from childhood. really almost anyone who has any links with the top of my family is really in deep shock after what happened both relatives and friends now the brothers spare and stopped talking to the media assets early saturday but i managed to speak to a close relative of the family now her name is. and he was she was married to the boy's uncle now she told me how really tragic and difficult the life of the type of

family was and that for years they have been moving from one place to another as the father couldn't find a proper job and they've moved twice from kyrgyzstan's first to then the two daggers down were they span just a bit over a year and till they moved to the united states in two thousand and two she even showed us some pictures that we're taking during that time pictures that captured both brothers in their early trials of women in one picture the older brother is just a bit over a year old now she spent a lot of time with tom avalon when he came here to dagestan last year to visit he has parents and she describes him as a very family loving and caring young man and when i asked her whether he expressed any x. her interest in this law she told me that his interest was never overwhelming. the middle and wasn't a religious fanatic he was curious about religion he started to be really

interested in islam about three years ago but he was never a radical we would talk about his commitment to religion but it wasn't extreme it was really hard for her to speak she told me that. the younger brother was planning to come here to dagestan this may and now their father plans a trip to the united states to bury his son to meddle and so as for many here if she couldn't the woman couldn't really believe that they were involved in the tragedy. it's impossible to believe that they could have carried it out just impossible it's terrible. but if you can believe it there are children who respected their parents a lot time or learned was very attentive to older people to sperm for him have and was of use mother's feet both parents mobile phones are switched off or rarely own line and it's really impossible to reach them but i have since managed to speak to the mother of the two brothers and kept repeating their first answer in this and

she also mentioned that her eldest son tamerlan was under constant surveillance for years when both parents before mentioned told them that the i'll be i can talk to right after the boston bombings and ask him for questioning however the hour or the hour later denied that information now as for the father i spoke with him also in a telephone conversation just yesterday and he told me that he doesn't want to talk to any media right now so really dozens of journalists from all over the world is that how descended on this region hold that the man's family will speak and eventually shed some light to how their boys and did up the main suspects in the boston terrorist attack. to go to r.t. dot com to get the full picture of what the past week has meant for this is the sense of boston the photo gallery contains images of the tragic events unfolding at the marathon as well as the manhunt followed.

about international and in the very heart of moscow. welcome back the u.s. military has acknowledged that over half of my bay prisoners on hunger strike among the eighty four protests is five have been put in hospital work life threatening conditions and sixteen are being force fed. and explains why the inmates have resorted to such desperate measures. 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 prisoners 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 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 cold the me will die is going to not because the state is unable to transfer but because unwilling to do so the transfer of structures are difficult for example they would require the secretary of defense to personally certify that receiving state taking steps to ensure that a prisoner can ever threaten the united states in the future whatever threaten might mean in that context. and obviously no state can guarantee that a future event will or will not occur but that was the point the point was to discourage transfers from guantanamo citizens of forty eight countries in total

have been held in guantanamo since the opening of the prison in two thousand and two the majority of them were from afghanistan and over the years most of them have been transferred back to afghanistan the second largest group of captives were from saudi arabia and yemen and pakistan but you see the scope of the manhunt it included forty eight countries as of now it's not just the many 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 for us government to accomplish transfers first of all mr williams of the state department gave this testimony in the middle of march that is three months after the state department shut down the office that was working on those transfers so it is not clear how they continue to work on it

if they shut down the office that was doing that also defense lawyers present at this commission hearing saw the response as an attempt to water down the core issue to walk it down in legal details which seem to have no effect on the outcome of the indefinite detention that they're asking for or justifying is under the laws of war and in the states united states mind that that. that war ends at the end of hostilities against two al qaeda and associated forces well what does that mean that's indefinite that is the epitome of indefinite 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 weakness so much at that prison including torture and other forms of humiliation the 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 u.s. politicians assumptions of what they may or may not do we in the future in washington i'm going to check on. we've got plenty more stories on our website including activists from anonymous call for a web blackout in protest over an infamous cyber intelligence bill that allows authorities to harvest private information without a warrant. also their nasa's kepler telescope spots three planets where human life may be sustainable while still scanning the skies for an earth like home with a star like this for more details just go to dot com.

israeli police are being accused of using a handcuffed palestinian teenager as a human shield after they were seen parading him in front of an angry crowd however they say they only wanted to calm the protesters down with the story he's our middle east correspondent for the slip. on friday israeli police paraded those handcuffed palestinian youth during protests that were taking place in the palestinian neighborhood of abu dis which is on the outskirts of east jerusalem human rights groups have accused the army of using the child as a human shield defense for children international palestine has posted a video on you tube that shows helmeted is raided border policeman removing this young palestinian who is identified as mohammad asif interior from the army jeep and forcing him to stand besides them with handcuffed hands raised above his head

human rights groups have released a statement saying that they're outraged that israeli soldiers continue to use palestinian children in this way as human shields with impunity but claim is that the teen was deliberately exposed to danger after he had been taken into custody and the israeli army spokesperson however has said that the move was to calm the violence especially after four hundred palestinian protesters attacked an israeli border police vehicle for almost four hours earlier this week palestinians mock the annual palestinian prisoners day and this was possibly the palestinian national council back in one thousand nine hundred eighty four as a means of consolidating efforts to support palestinian prisoners who are currently being held in israeli jails on wednesday about three thousand palestinian prisoners refuse their food this is in solidarity with the event at the same time activists told fifty metres of the prison fence that off the prison which is on the outskirts of ramallah in the west bank where they mounted a palestinian flag and this forced the i.d.f.

as well as israeli border police to use why it control measures to disperse the group also in gaza hundreds of people marched from gaza city to the offices of the international committee of the red cross the palestinian authority has sent and urgent matter to the european union foreign policy chief catherine ashton calling for a prompt intervention to save the life of prisoners in. israeli jails who are currently conducting a hunger strike the most notable among them is a prisoner somewhere out if so we who has been striking for some three hundred days there are four thousand nine hundred palestinians who are currently held in israeli jails hundred sixty eight of them are and administrators detention without charge or trial. wealthy shakes and billionaire ali got into graces it auctions off seventy thousand prime state properties national landmarks historic palaces and even entire islands are going under the hammer at a frantic pace things though there's little to say on the matter with the fire sale

demanded by the e.u. and the i.m.f. chief paymasters a fact that for one filmmaker shows how far greece has fallen we have a soaring unemployment that in a few months we reach thirty. people in committing suicide in the streets we have homeless all around so we're living in a humanitarian crisis that we haven't seen since. world war the economic elites that actually control the greek government at least some point to what i imagine the c b troika wanted to do now that the real now is that there is a problem that we cannot continue with this just there in the policy unfortunately the same field doesn't happen for the greek government that beyond there is coming from brussels or are or barely. to cedar revolution that you don't accept these are staring people you see. everything we collapse in a few dates or for

a few hours the country should default and probably even exit the euro zone drawing doesn't understand that his biggest struggle and especially math and europeans are not buying the desk here to save big financial institutions and be banks don't pay attention to the illusion. well greece isn't stopping it selling off what's above ground either with the country's mineral riches to open to the highest bidder and that has divided even the ranks of sterett weary greeks on the one hand it could spell ruin for the environment and local businesses and on the other it's jobs for a country wracked with unemployment artie's tom barton found himself in the thick of the conflict. protest in paradise the cause proposals to expand gold mines he won a mountain road near the village of strat-o. ne in northern greece there were the protesters logs in their position against the

mine here further on the mountain road the riot police blocking them from getting to the village this process is just one of those showing the intensity of feeling surrounding the subject here greece's kalki dukie peninsula is renowned for its roots but it also contains precious metals which canada's eldorado gold corporation wants to extract that split the region in yet a source locals want to protect their traditional trades. mining activity is the worst that could happen to this area mining and beekeeping cannot co-exist. and protect the health and environment that i'm in panic because the mining will destroy our clean air and clean water part of the problem is the process used to extract and purify gold and other metals which critics say will lead contamination by cyanide and other chemicals this method. results in getting

the metals from being off. all of that my thoughts the majority of them and live in there with a lot of that is it to us as we travel up into the hills where forest has already been where the mining company security trails us and persuades them i mean supper last october that you do that with security and locals are you arguing that this is a checkpoint they don't want us to film we want to pass honest public roads but i don't this show was about the mission to between the locals and a mining company or something good. tensions indeed the locals have destroyed some of the companies heavy machinery and ransacked the police station police have raided homes in the middle of the night to arrest suspects and fired tear gas at protesters. but there is much support the elder brother here is criticism both from the government and other villages whose mining populations welcome the possibility of thousands of extra jobs at a time of deep recession around half of the nearby villages approach mine and

deeply critical of anti money protest has to go up with you these people who are unemployed cause many problems by telling law it's only purpose is to shut the mines down in fact they want nothing they don't want any development. goals. but they say they won't be leaving the area. locals in the area source say they won't let mining go ahead without a fight but that if they do lose they will be leaving this corner of greece that they love so much tom bottom. coming up and i say we look at a part of the us determined to live by its own rules the republic of texas is next .

the movie world war z z being first zombie which stars brad pitt as one hundred seventy five million dollar budget has been recalled by paramount executives not because this is probably yet another stupid violent zombie movie but because the chinese might get offended according to the wrap dot com china was supposed to take the blame for starting the evil zombie apocalypse this time but china becoming the largest foreign market for american movies made artistic integrity fly out the window to protect the bottom dollar as is tradition and hollywood this is not the first time that there has been pro-choice the censorship in hollywood the remake of red dawn which was originally a cold war era a minstrel show against russians was supposed to show. a chinese invasion of america this time however they have changed it to north koreans who can't even defeat the us military in south korea let alone at an away game in the usa the thing that is interesting is not the censorship is the fact that they will said

sort of movies for whoever's got a lot of cash culture the big markets won't be offended but countries with small markets will this is a complete prostitute mentality show that love to any guy who's got bills in his palm you know i was always pretty sure there were a lot of prostitutes working in hollywood i didn't know they actually started making the movies but that's just my opinion. the international and world in the very heart of moscow. rocks can.
