last week's terror bombings in boston reportedly conscious now in hospital 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 and charges against the alleged bomber are due to be filed later on monday details now from montes honest. 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nineteen year old dzhokhar and twenty six year old to milan and of course we have to note that the miranda rights have been revoked the rights he has to remain silent as well as the rights to a lawyer are being tonight to him because officials are interested in being able to question him without being able to use this right and the fact that his miranda rights have been revoked is receiving major criticism throughout the united states and causing really a lot of debate between certain politicians and civil rights groups also it's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 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. hold and the f.b.i. did receive recommendations that they investigate him they did in fact bring 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 to 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. boston massachusetts. and in the meantime a former federal agent says the united states needs to rethink its policy on terrorism exactly who it deems to be a danger to the country. this idea terrorism is such a confusing concept because we have our terrorists and their 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 neoconservative as stablished me in the us now i have only 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. on the revelation that the boston terror suspects are of chuch an origin certainly seen an influx of journalists to russia's north caucasus where the brother's family lives while the parents are no longer willing to comment on the issue on t.v. has been able to speak to another relative who knew the alleged bombers all the way from childhood. really almost anyone who has any links with the family is really in 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 price who must be money 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 i have family was and that for years they have been moving from one place to another asked the father couldn't find a proper job and they've moved twice from kyrgyzstan first to church now than to dagestan were they span just a bit over a year and still they moved to the united states in two thousand and two she even showed us some pictures that were taken 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 time evelyn when he came here to dagestan last year to visit his 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 she was curious about religion he started to be really interested in islam about three years ago but he was never a radical who 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 just 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. if you can believe it there are children who respected their parents a lot timberland was very attentive to older people to family for him have been was of use mothers 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 sons were innocent she also mentioned that her eldest son tamerlan was under constant surveillance for years when both parents before mentioned that told them that the i'll be i can talk to him right after the boston bombings and ask him for questioning however the outfield would be out 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 holds that the man's family will speak and eventually shed some light to how their boys and up the main suspects in the boston terrorist attack. are you can check out all three dot com to get the full picture of what the past week meant for the citizens of boston. lined up photo gallery

contains images of the tragic events unfolding at the marathon as well as the manhunt but for the good. from our julian assange spent ten months holed up in for those embassy in london the u.k. you spend millions on watching the door he faces extradition to sweden for questioning over sexual assault allegations although no charges have been brought against him. the boy could manage to speak to him at the embassy. one thing that's got the man excited is politics as many of you will know he's making a bid for the australian senate there's now a wiki leaks ponty that stands for truthfulness and the free flow of information the free flow of information and when i was still in the songs about how he sees this chances at getting into the senate considering that he's holed up in the embassy and campaigning is going to be very difficult he actually mentioned that he's got quite a considerable interest in both him and the wiki leaks party and in terms of

political goals of sorts is very clear he says he wants to put a stop to the u.s. corruption in north korea so let's take a listen to him elaborating on that point. though was the u.s. embassy in forward even back in the nineteenth seventy's even when he was a member of senior member of the new south wales it's very medium term for me to believe people. sitting prime minister can rub it happened in part because she sent a voice to the simplicity that it's pretty simple really stop there's a constant back and forth in this sort of preparation. for that she was gracious himself with various parties very recently there's been reports that ecuadorian diplomats in the meetings with the labor party in the u.k. actually raised the issue of julian assange perhaps in an attempt to get a guarantee of safe passage for julian assange and in case labor does come to power

after the general elections in twenty fifteen but when i asked just songs about it he was quite skeptical when he told me that he doesn't really think that there is going to be a change in the situation depending on which have a political party is in power in the greek a certain let's take a listen to what he meant by that and to his assessment of british politics the united kingdom. nation in your politically be institution. it's political it's my heart it's my six. this is what. controls the. elected purpose of. the purpose that. they represent forces to exist because these institutions when i speak to julian assange actually according

to him he said that the cost of policing the embassy is tipping four million pounds now and actually while we were filming outside the building i got chatting to some of the officers there in djibouti and they were unusually frank we actually had a bit of a loft with one of the officers because he said that he worries that a songe could be snuck out of the embassy in an ostrich suit or some sort of fancy dress outfit but on a more serious note he said that he feels for the guy because he's stuck in a very tiny space you know when you see pictures of the embassy in the newspapers it looks like a big sprawling building in actual fact it takes up just the first two floors of this residential block so this is a very tiny space that he's confined to and when i asked the officer about how he feels about the cost of policing the area you can sense a bit of frustration he said that all this money is going on watching one man when there are very crippling budget cuts taking place to police forces across the u.k. . formula one has wrapped up in bahrain with anti-government protesters

the international airport in the very heart of moscow.

thank you for joining us here on our show live in moscow where the u.s. military has acknowledged that over half of the guantanamo bay prisoners are now on hunger strike among the eighty four protesters five have been put in hospital with life threatening conditions sixteen and i'll being force fed these guy nature can reports on 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 defense 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 so he may well 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 a 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 then yemen then pakistan but you see the scope of the manhunt it included forty eight countries 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 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 was an attempt to water down the core issue to block 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 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 u.s.

politicians assumptions of what they may or may not do in the future in washington i'm going to check on. and you can find even more news stories on our website. including for this hour a perverse from anonymous call for a web lockout in protest over an infamous cyber intelligence bill but ultimately allows the authorities to harvest cry. that information without any type of. telescope spots three planets where human life could be sustainable all still scanning the skies for an earth like home with a star like our sun more details that are. wealthy shakes and a billionaire all agog flocking to greece as it auctioned off seventy thousand prime state properties and national landmarks historic palaces and even entire islands are going under the hammer at a frantic pace athens though has little to say on the matter with

a fire sale demanded by the e.u. and the i.m.f. its chief paymaster is a fact that for one filmmaker shows how far greece has now for. we have a soaring unemployment that in a few months we reach thirty bursts and we have people committing suicide in the streets we have homeless all around campus so we're living in a humanitarian crisis that we haven't seen since i would say the second world war the economic elites that actually control the greek government at least some point to what i imagine d.c. be truly wanted to do now that the realize that there is a problem that we cannot continue with this just thirty policy unfortunately to sci fi doesn't happen for the greek government that the us will be on there is coming from brussels. or barely. the seat of a relation that you don't accept these are staring to or you see. everything we

pull out in a few days or a few hours the country should default and probably even exit the eurozone drawing doesn't understand this because troika and especially math and europeans are not the just here to save big financial institutions and be banks don't pay attention to the illusion. now greece isn't stopping at selling off what's above the ground in the countries minerals also open to the highest bidder and that has divided even the ranks of austerity wary greeks on the one hand it could spell ruin for the environment on local businesses but on the other it's jobs for a country of iraq with unemployment artist on bottom find themselves right in the thick of it. protest in paradise the cause proposals to expand gold mines here well on a mountain road near the village of star tony in northern greece there were the protesters lodged 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 did keep an insular is renowned by tourists for its tea but it also contains precious metals which canada's eldorado gold corporation wants to extract but 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 the metals the majority of them and live in there with a lot of residuals as we travel up into the hills where forest has already been where the mining company security trails us persuade them up and stop us out you get very little security and locals are going extinct this is expected point they don't want us to film we want to pass honest public roads but i don't just show some attention to between the locals and mining good idea of the good. intentions indeed the locals have destroyed some of the company's 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 butt. there is as much support for eldorado 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 mining protesters to go up with you these people who are unemployed cause many problems by telling lies their only purpose is to shut the mines down in fact they want nothing they don't want any development. eldorado gold refused to talk to it but they say they won't be leaving the area. locals in the area saw us 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. i've got more news in about a half an hour's time but up next hour let's take a look at the place that made the week in the world of sports.
