t. with me rule research welcome to the program the surviving suspect in last week's boston terror attack is reportedly awake and responding in writing to questions put to him by she's a nineteen year old. is in intensive care under armed guard after he was severely wounded in the throat in a shootout with police and the investigators task is to establish why an american citizen and his brother could have allegedly committed the deadly boston marathon attack and indeed if they were any accomplices or reporting from boston artie's anastasio choke on a. 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 i have 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 pearl 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nineteen year old dzhokhar and twenty six year old to milan and of course we have to note that the miranda rights have been revoked the rights and he has to remain silent as well as a right to a lawyer are being denied to him because officials are interested in being able to question him without being able to use this right and the fact that his miranda rights have been revoked is receiving major criticism throughout the united states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 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 trying 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 party boston massachusetts. and the relatives and friends of the family say the older brother kept a low profile during his trip to the north caucuses last year and that he didn't seem like a religious fanatic correspondent medina caution of a travel to the darkest on republic to try and get in contact with the alleged bombers relatives. 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 as a thirty 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 had been moving from one place to another as the father couldn't find a proper job and they've moved twice from kyrgyzstan first to church now than to dagestan where they span just a bit over a year and till they moved to the united states in two thousand to seven showed us some pictures that were 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 time evelyn when he came here to dagestan last year to visit she is a 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 believe in their children who respected their parents who loved timberland was very attentive to older people to use family for

him have been 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 sons were in this and she also mentioned that her eldest son tamerlan was under constant surveillance for years when both parents before mentioned and told them that the i would be i can talk to him right after the boston bombings and ask him for questioning however 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 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 has been a question of all right there after the revelation about the suspects church and already the u.s. media wasted no time shifting focus to the groups in chechnya to establish a russian connection to the case of those who had previously seen mostly as freedom fighters and also you know as merciless terse former f.b.i. agent coleen rowley explains the change. 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 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 u.s. terrorist list but now we have been delisted to become the good rebel fighters against iran. of the us and may be changing its move towards chechen militants amid suspicions they may be connected to the boston bombings but things were different just a few years ago when it was quite willing to see some of them among its own soil in two thousand and four american authorities granted political asylum to key touchin extremists. despite a warning from russia that he had links with the region's terrorists. now after the dramatic manhunt for the brothers still very skinny lots of uncertainty surrounding this case at r.t. dot com we have an opinion piece pointing out several glaring inconsistency in the official account of the standoff with the suspects. for now the

e.u. has given the green light to talks for serbia's membership to the block it's not on the heels of belgrade approving an e.u. brokered deal with it or break territory because of o. and the deal grants cause of those ethnic albanian leadership control over the area while serbian minorities will receive autonomy's within calls of let's get some more insight on this now from a nickel about an. analyst now joining us here live here on r.t. a pleasure to see you today so ultimately of the movement you're planning you're planning a rally later today against the e.u. brokered deal i mean maybe i'm a bit confused what is your stance on this deal now and possible e.u. ascension. movement. through the syrian national interest. as well. you know we. are.

the wall. that is agreement is going to be. not so so this is. relevant today i mean you talk about a diplomatic victory i mean serbia used to say that it was not going to use cause of i was a bargaining chip in its session process it is not effectively what's already happened no no no there can be no diplomatic victory over kosovo because that kosovo is not a state by province of serbia so any. degree magic. can be achieved only against some other state but not against kosovo now if i may the deal is portrayed as a landmark agreement possibly putting an end to tensions between serbia and kosovo but serbian officials received death threats after it was signed i mean all the

tensions really over perhaps they still persist this is just a process you know because. they get to know serbian good they are doing some great job but they are not doing it because you're betraying your country you will get to find any possible way to. made it real a victory so they rented a crowd of detritus people are sending to them because. we don't know what never going to happen it's just pride as i said if i may what why do you think the e.u. is still an alluring prospect for serbia given the tough times that block is enduring like what's happening in greece for example spain italy portugal. well. not because so-called prosperous future for serbia will never come all the problems

that serbia had to deal with in the past decades are just another way of making do state and nation we bicker e.u. doesn't want us in europe do you want our resources our money our territory all right. joining us live here on r.t. many thanks of the thank you for your time today thank you thank you. well it's good to have you with us here on r.t. while some countries buying on the door to get into the e.u. and others are finding the membership rules are driving them into desperate measures greece is up for grabs with the largest fire sale in history from pristine coastlines to ancient palaces just to keep its economy afloat details coming a bit later in the program. for now though it's been ten months since julian assange entered the ecuadorian embassy in london seeking asylum and he's stayed holed up there ever since with ecuador and the u.k. locked in a diplomatic standoff over how to deal with the son the cost of policing the site

is continuing to mount and the u.k. is set on extraditing the world's best known whistleblower to sweden for questioning of a sexual assault allegations i mean. go to read chance to talk with us. 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 our studio in a songe 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 mentions that he's got quite a considerable interest in both him and the wiki leaks party and in terms of political goals of silence is very clear he says he wants to put a stop to the u.s. corruption in all syria so let's take a listen to him elaborating on that point the current foreign minister bob carr was

the u.s. embassy before it even back in the nineteen seventies even when he was a member of senior member of the new south wales strain your current prime minister julie get out your role as the sitting prime minister to rub it happened part because she sent a envoy to the us embassy let's put to this committee stop there's a constant back and forth in this year long sort of preparation. where she was gracious himself with various parties very recently there have been reports that ecuadorian diplomats in the meeting with the labor party in the u.k. were actually raise the issue of julian assange perhaps in an attempt to get a guarantee of safe passage for julian assange orange in case labor does come to power after the general elections in twenty fifteen but when i asked just about say he was quite skeptical 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 u.k. so let's take a listen to what he meant by that and his assessment of british politics. the united kingdom is. the nation you're pretty clear institution so it's probably a couple of months for my six to break so this is what. controls the behavior of the media. and elected representatives simply represent. they represent the forces to exist on the big institutions or when i speak to you in a science 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 on duty 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 could sense a bit of frustration he said that you know 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. . you know just a moment here on our two you will be talking to an official of the buffering center for human rights all about the ongoing mall in the country that will be after a very quick break.

the international world in the very heart of moscow. live from moscow this is a formula one has wrapped up in bahrain with anti-government protesters clashing with police to try and disrupt the controversial hosting of the event security officers stormed areas where program form activists gathered suppressing most opposition marches the protesters have been using the formula one race to draw attention to human rights abuses in the country the morning more international pressure on the ruling family let's not talk to cite you'll see if i will huff the head of monitoring in the center for human rights joining us live here now on r.t. from the capital good to see you today so i thank you for sharing your time with us here a lot see the formula one race ended without any disruption or do you think the opposition

managed to make the world watching the event more aware perhaps of what's going on in bahrain. i mean yes of course no one with this set up that is and will. do anything. for the little one but there we have to get the media attention which when she we want to do more than one hundred magazine many media building behind it and this is a good thing that we don't get all day i mean we are part of the media whether that i mean media or for the media they don't cover what's happening in my country but you think that you know i'm sorry do you think though it was the very fact of the race being held that prompted the protest told to the protesters simply used the event as a platform yes of course the protests did that and we have. come out of the other side of boston and. thirty one of the jonas only took up one of the of pointless but we have succeed to do it took up out of the other side of the tent to of the sexy to come out of the other side of the thousand of people who are

demanding democracy and the future that doesn't have people who are so we don't just thousand and that's happening. to my people in bahrain this is what we have all of this was kept out of by the media and by the national media so we have succeeded that well i mean certainly certainly the demonstrators the opposition have been have been moving and i'm working hard on the streets for many many months now we've been seeing your opposition marches taking place on a regular basis all you achieve thing and the thing with your opposition march is you keep talking about people being being tortured and harassed and oppressed and any any positive results. i mean we have been struggling peacefully for two years an addict and i mean even if we compared the people it also. started two years ago and still did it but. we also said one hundred and if we didn't know that you

want the event because of the complex many country are supporting the when but that does not mean that we would not if you did you see we will achieve it today on the it takes time but we will continue the peaceful to put this we will continue this that i'm going to continue to focus on one hand what people will achieve their demand and i'm sure they will keep it to be only but. even many would have pollution and many did not seize it within a few months or one month it takes time by. specially i would say i'd say as you say when you're having a revolution or even a civil war or a massive uprising of course it does take time indeed to get your results but where do you actually see the reform campaign going from here because as you said two years worth of protests and marches and demonstrations what's next. no i don't think it was i need a phone. down and continuing the killing is continuing that the acting is continuing. to the government this. time they have. to

put this sort of they have one hundred protesters so far and many many house away admitted you because over that one but i mean. i don't think i need a film so far out of me and also the same they did a prime minister who was in his position. so i mean i don't think it is to. continue to use them to. the center for human rights joining us live here on our team from the capital many thanks for your time today thank you. but we are coming to you live from moscow and from ancient palaces to entire islands greece is selling off seventy thousand lots of state assets to desperately raise whatever cash it can it's being described as the largest a fire sale in history but it's vital to getting the next financial injection in

the country's creditors and there are no limits on the paymaster's appetite as one greek filmmaker told us here at all it's a. we have a soaring unemployment that in a few months we reach thirty bursts and we have people committing suicide it 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 second world war their economic elites that actually control the greek government and they supported what i imagine these to be troy wanted to do now that the realize that there is a problem that we cannot continue with this was there any policy unfortunately the same field doesn't happen for the greek government that the best for me or there is coming from brussels or or barely. the decision to the realization that you don't accept these are staring to or you see. everything we pull out in a few days or or

a few hours the country should default and probably even exit the euro zone drawing doesn't understand this because droid guy and especially math and europeans are not buying the best gear to save big financial institutions and b. banks don't pay attention to the relation. and into the world update now starting with a gunman that's opened fire in a shop in western russia killing at least five clothing a fourteen year old girl it happened in the town of belgrade near the ukrainian border governors that would have begun firing in the street before entering the shop of the killer then fled the scene and is now being hunted why. there is no sign of the angry protests ending in new delhi where hundreds of people have been rallying for a third day of a police conduct after the rape of a five year old girl officers are accused of ignoring the girl's parents when they

reported her missing the child's condition is said to be slightly improving and a second man has been arrested over the years sold their regular protests over the authorities failure to clamp down on attacks against women. at least one hundred eighty five people have been killed in northern nigeria in intense gun fights between the military and islamist insurgents the clashes began on friday near the border with chad and members of the book militant group attacked state troops that the insurgency has been simmering since two thousand and nine and has claimed thousands of lives book is demanding the release of his jailed members i want to impose islamic law in the region. a new unmanned rocket has blasted into orbit from nasa space ford off the coast of virginia. as rocket represents a key milestone for the private u.s. company behind the launch of orbital sciences corporation which plans will to regular deliveries to the international space station. and after

a very quick break here and looks at why the u.s. has increasingly got its eye on this is. the movie world war z z being for 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 in hollywood this is not the

first time that there has been pro-choice 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 censor movies for whoever's got a lot of cash 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.

today. these are the images. from the street. showing up for a chatroom. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle rising china in a pivoting america according to a recent white paper china's military establishment is carefully watching and becoming very concerned over washington strategic planning in the pacific ocean.
