reports now on one of the concerns failed to prevent the boston tragedy. as the dust settles in the wake of boston bombings the question many ask is why and how could u.s. federal authorities fail to act on the valuable intelligence from two years ago stating that the middle of was radicalized dangerous and quote prepared to join unspecified underground groups that's the information the f.b.i. says they received from the russian government so two years ago the f.b.i. interviewed the guy and reported back to the russians that they found nothing suspicious since then they've apparently failed to monitor the middleman because if they have they probably discovered his you tube page under his own name by the way full of radical content with a playlist titled terrorists so you have intelligence from a foreign government you have the individual openly sharing radical content and yet somehow he's off the radar the fear is the reason the f.b.i. dropped the ball on the alleged russian intelligence is that they treated it as
1:04 am
soley russia's problem they may have taken the marylands chechen background into consideration and they may have ended up looking at this individual from a more political rather than purely law enforcement point of view this is possible given the history of all the requests and pleas that russia has made in the past with regards to a number of individuals from north caucasus accused of crimes particularly those of chechen background one example yulia moderates who was known as the right hand of the internationally recognized chechen terrorists. just a quick reminder of who was he was killed in two thousand and six. record as a chechen militant leader included in one thousand nine hundred ninety five he and his gang attacked the city of good yarn of took up to one thousand eight hundred residents of that city hostage in a hospital including one hundred fifty children at least one hundred forty people died as a result of that attack also as he gained power in the region stated his objective to have all muslim regions in russia break away from the country it was basically
1:05 am
a call to start a war on all fronts among his other heinous acts that was to. school hostage crisis in beslan in two thousand and four terror that russia will never forget it left swe hundred and thirty four people dead one hundred eighty six of them children so the right hand of this monster who helped stage all this whore. modify arrives in the us somewhere around the year two thousand settles down in boston by the way and receives political asylum despite russia's pleas to treat him as a clerk criminal at the beginning us federal authorities appealed the boston course decision on granting him asylum then they withdrew their opposition after a number of political heavyweights in the us tuned in to support the chechen militants including former sector of state margaret albright so when questioning u.s. federal authorities reaction to the alleged russian intel on the middle ansara naive it is important to keep in mind the mindset perpetuated in the u.s. for many years in favor of the militants in russia and against the russian

government's actions to stop them new york city's former mayor rudy giuliani spoke to the confusion that many americans had as they learned about the background of these brothers the chechen revolution against russia is an islamic based revolution they wanted islamic state in russia. not inherently anti-american right anti russian. that it america i mean and in fact here's the odd part of this if anything we've been i'm not going to say sympathetic with them but we've certainly been critical of and how far he's gone in dealing with so if anything they should they shouldn't have this anger at the united states so given all this maybe maybe this political mindset has prompted authorities in the u.s. to drop the ball on valuable law enforcement intelligence on top of james petras professor of sociology at big until university believes the u.s.

is walking on very thin ice when banks questionable on functions elsewhere in the world. the u.s. government is working with extremists to day in libya working with islamic extremists in syria they have been working in other places with islamic extremists on the one hand they oppose them on the other hand they instrumental lies them and hope they can discard them once their adversaries undermined and i think this is a very dangerous game that washington's playing and this case we see the boomerang effect with the terrorists that once allied with the u.s. china around him point did guns at underbellies tie gets the united states supported to chesney and terrorists when they were working against russia when they

a dangerous job that required courage but while british forces withdraw the afghan interpreters who made their what possible are being left to fend for themselves rafi worked at camp prince in the helmand province he says he gets regular calls from the taliban this is your group or for. the ball or you are all sent for those you have to be if i catch you then i read you some six hundred fifty interpreters just like rafi remain in afghanistan with no right to settle in the u.k. many of these translators are washing on the frontline so they're working with soldiers and risking their lives in exactly the same way soldiers do wearing the uniform or in their combat fatigues following their rules at least twenty to been killed many more horrifically injured that's a danger they knew about when they signed up the danger they didn't know when they signed up was that at the end of that i've been to that ten year i mean both times
1:10 am
when you when you finish the job and you've done it very well that's a thank you for the end of that job in this case it's a death threat it's a risk to your life because what's happening now is that as british troops withdraw afghanistan is not a safe place for these people the scene is that as having been seen by the taliban as having collaborated with the enemy and dave in the past year targeted killings of so-called international collaborators by the taliban have doubled according to the un mission in afghanistan last year six hundred ninety eight civilians were killed and three hundred seventy nine were injured in assassination attempts if they do not take the responsibility of saving their lives and providing them a peaceful environment. that will mean that they have only used those interpreters and left them. in

zealand down norway are among the countries to publicly pledged to resettle any formally employed afghans to feel their lives are at risk in the u.k. there's also been a precedent interpreters that worked with british forces in iraq were offered asylum automatically i think we are a match of all of these people who are willing to risk their lives to support us and the second one is a programmatic basis which is we will be involved in events overseas in the future of our military clearly will lead to people helping them and who is going to help our military if they realise that they're not going to help themselves senior military and political figures that urging the people who work here in the u.k. foreign office to rethink the policy and campaign is gaining momentum over sixty thousand people have signed an online petition urging the british foreign secretary to offer a bulk resettlement program while the politicians think it over and here the men that risked their lives to help british forces say that the waiting game is getting

striving for a bridge and an independent future. republican texas i don't see. this is as he welcomed back mired in a struggle for economic supremacy and military domination of asia the u.s. and china are now contesting the moral high ground to beijing's released its latest briefing on the human rights situation in america in response to a similar report from washington a reckless foreign policy indiscriminate wiretapping and raise based rights were
1:16 am
just some of the issues brought up. a report. after years of swallowing the accusations of violating human rights beijing is fighting back last year the u.s. state department issued its scolding human rights practices report now china held a mirror to washington to the u.s. again accused china of limiting internet freedoms the so-called great firewall of china where beijing has long being under scrutiny for blocking many western websites such as facebook google and you tube but those criticizing china are no saints sounding people and says the bills to control internet data have made waves across the atlantic lately and the u.s. government approved interception of private text messages and e-mails for security needs are hardly contributing to online freedom china's single party political system and lack of democratic elections also came under fire the chinese report made its wife back at america's multi-party system saying that in what seems to be a democratic process it's really not the people that the amount of money spent on
1:17 am
combines which really decides the winner is the largest part of the us report was dedicated to human rights as they are today from harsh labor conditions to poor salaries indeed china's status of being the world's factory is nothing new and the cheap labor force concept has long been debated beijing hit back with a scathing claim that in the country where racism and discrimination officially do not exist after american and hispanic employees earn forty percent less than the white population in the united states and that's through the glass ceiling for women who earn a twenty percent smaller salary than men the us report also lashed out at the treatment of prisoners and members of opposition in china contrast that with a country which runs notorious guantanamo prison and the allegations of multiple human rights abuses within its walls with china highlighting full statistics on all deaths in u.s. prisons and the use of brutal force against peaceful demonstrators in twenty twelve it is no secret that china has a checkered human rights record but by countering the claims of those who it
1:18 am
believes should get its own house in order it is quite clear that beijing no longer wants to see a monopoly in the market of examining human rights. and eric draitser analyst said stop and parrot isn't docomo says there's a link between those nations labeled rights offenders and those who opposed to u.s. interests for the united states to talk about human rights it's incredible hypocrisy when you have a massive hunger strike going on in the concentration camp known as guantanamo when the united states has engaged in violating the human rights of the people of libya of the people of syria of countless other nations around the world the chinese certainly have a lot to answer for for in terms of their own human rights record but the examples that their report highlights are all not only accurate but very telling we should also remember too that the it is the and it states which monopolizes control of international institutions such as amnesty international human rights watch doctors
1:19 am
without borders and so forth which act as the arbiters of human rights sitting in judgment of countries whether they are or are not violators i'm not suggesting that there aren't good people who work within some of these organizations or that the organizations themselves don't sometimes do good work but often what you see is those who are deemed as violators of human rights are those who sit on the enemy's list of the united states the united states pretends that it has the option of being the arbiter of truth that is to say whatever the united states determines to be human rights violation is whatever the united states does is not a human rights violation as china's report war and much as i've gone time appear to be getting was the u.s. military's this punched and imagine sitting of doctors to the facility as medics already that a wound by a long term hunger strike at stevens in august or tied on a medical corps officer and a former senior adviser to the defense department sort of might not be known before
1:20 am
the protest. typically people get very sick after about fifty days in which they've not had any food but are taking water so they may be getting very sick and i think there's a fear that a number may die within the next several weeks but all the world medical associations are categorically and ethically against force feeding the reason being is that is in fact disrupts what is most important which is establishing a constructive relationship were poorer with the hunger strikers and being able to discuss the terms of their protest the this is a they if they have it also. really overrides there are some autonomy which is very important in medicine we except that is one of our ethical principles so that by and large most organizations across the world feel that it is not acceptable and in

this particular case what it does not help resolve their grievances and help resolve the conflict that we're having between the detainees and the authorities the full time line on the hunger strike as well as interviews that inmates know isn't come to thursdays at all it's own home run by you can also stay up to date with the status of russia that tends to visit the count. on to government fighters in syria will now be able to fill that conflicts with money from oil exports to the e.u. the union has decided to ease its all in bonded with the rebels now transactions will have to be approved by the opposition's national council but as investigative journalist willie brown dunn says in this case the he is giving helping hands to terrorists. it's a blatant lie to say look we are afraid of our lives right we are afraid about god but in reality one sees him arming and financing and supporting. in syria
1:22 am
the european union still officially recognizes the government even though they have an r.v. any i'm best embassy able to airlift and then they don't recognize as a government these rebels there said they're a legitimate representative but that's meaningless in diplomatic and in any law so what they're doing is legalizing. non gang the european union waving the flag. it's madness we in belgium at the moment out our arresting people because they're radicalize muslims who have fled and now when they're on the other hand our foreign minister says we should buy and finance all those are up there's no logic in it it's just complete lunacy germany's pulling out the stops to keep its economy growing with people sensitive to anything seen as a financial product on the state like immigration which is now at

1:27 am
interesting is not the censorship is the fact that they will censor movies for whoever's got a lot of cash 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. regarding what the republic of texas was eighteen thirty six a number of people who moved here from north america. at the invitation of the mexican government to settle here they were being. chased out by a new president of mexico was also
