the latest news in the week's top stories here on our t.v. russia reportedly provides the u.s. with their recording of a phone call involving one of the boston bombing suspects as investigators dig further into the details of the terrorist attack. warhawks said their sides on syria rumors that the military there has been using chemical weapons while damascus bound to ourselves are under a lot and he and calls the charges if they are faced lie. jobless numbers hit new highs and you are as the crisis deepens with brussels this week sounding the alarm over the cost of its tyranny strategy. and the official number of guantanamo bay hunger strikers reaches one hundred doubling over the past week as

a figure grows so does criticism of the harsh techniques being used to force feed those who refuse meals. this is already coming to live from the russian capital i'm marina josh and welcome to the program u.s. media say russia has given the f.b.i. a tape of an intercepted phone conversation between one of the alleged boston bombers and his mother the recording was made back in two thousand and eleven and reportedly contains vague references to jihad at the time russian authorities notified the u.s. that it was concerned over one of the suspects extremist views are to get it should count reports on why moscow is warning failed to prevent the tragedy. in the wake of the boston bombings it's the f.b.i. now bombarded with questions how could they let the alleged boston bomber tamerlan

and i have go off the radar after they've been warned about him multiple times over the last two years russia warned not only the f.b.i. about tamerlan sinai have did they drop all the f.b.i. . dropped the ball his no question but they dropped the ball here there's no doubt about it she was on the radar and they want to go he's on the russians radar why wasn't he a fly on i don't want to wear the russians right and did the united states ignore their warnings disrespect repeated warnings from our lawns are now i have someone you tube page full of radical content friends driving a car with a license plate that reads their own east the number one all of this was missed it's possible that they were too down by some preconception of who would be a possible jihadi that they were not able to see something in front of them maybe they work thinking well if these guys are chechen you know they hate the russians they don't hate us politics may have been the reason why u.s. authorities failed to connect the dots on tom along and i have another possibility

is that poor relations. between moscow and warship devalued the russian record something that the russian president says has to be fixed if we truly undertake a joint efforts we will not suffer these blows and take such losses if one more possible the us authorities politicized the intelligence given the fact that russia's concerns had been ignored before you yes amada the white head of the internationally recognized chechen terrorists science was given asylum and now lives in boston. for russia's accuse of heinous crimes against innocent people is still seen in the us as a chechen freedom fighter 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 putin and how far he's gone in dealing with. so if anything they should they shouldn't have this anger at the united states many ask whether tom airline may have learned about bomb

making on his trip to russia but there's a pretty much closer to home according to a senior government official quote they got their instructions on how to make bombs from the internet is newsworthy to know that nobody has to travel anywhere or get any specific in person training from some expert somewhere in order to access instructions for making explosives when joe parts are not i woke up this week he reportedly told the authorities that he and his brother were motivated by a desire to defend islam because of the wars in iraq and afghanistan many terrorists have tried to politicise their heinous acts but that doesn't change the fact that there are heartless killings when federal authorities look at any intel on a potential extremist problem or political rather than purely law enforcement point of view that could be a recipe for future disasters in washington i'm going to. now the cases put the spotlight on america's aggressive policies abroad which may have served as a pretext for the boston bombings john glaser editor of antiwar dot com believes

the u.s. role in conflicts around the world as greatly increased the terrorist threat at home. the fact that they cite us foreign policy as a motivation in fact for their attack shouldn't be really surprising every attack that wasn't an f.b.i. hatched sting operation since nine eleven has had that all of these terrorists that want to attack the united states and commit heinous violence on us have in their mind some motivation of u.s. foreign policy u.s. aggression in the middle east you know in a rock and get us there in pakistan and yemen palestine conflict and on and on and on a lot of what obama has done in terms of trying to be less aggressive towards the muslim world to simply make his secret the bush administration is quite open obama has chosen to make all of this covert he's done the drone war which is

a secret war that nobody will admit to in pakistan or in yemen and somalia a lot of this is still going on and still generating fierce hatred from a lot of people who resent u.s. aggression reports also suggest that the mother of the brothers has also been on the radar of the u.s. security services her name appeared on the terrorist database more than a year before the boston bombings took place and now the one is considering abandoning her american citizenship one of her sons was killed in the police and the other faces the death penalty be dots or not the however insist that her oldest son was in fact murdered by police after they captured him alive she reached that conclusion after seeing video footage posted online that allegedly shows thomas on being put into a police car naked after he was searched for explosives the next day images of his dead body were released and here's what she had to say at a press conference earlier this week. you know what you mean you do.

not worry. but i do not think you have the money why did. you why did you want to know. why. both suspects have spent a large part of their lives in the united states despite their roots in the russian north caucasus justin ruddock the former just as a part buys or believes the boston bombings were a result of homegrown u.s. terrorism here's a taste of the full interview coming your way later this hour. the narrative that they tried to feed everyone from the get go was that he had they had recently come to be u.s. and that they were radical islamic jihadists and as the story evolved in you learned well they came over here the suspect who's been charged was nine years old and then you get senator saying like senator grassley saying we need

to be tougher on immigration what are you going to do ask a nine year old if they have a propensity for terrorism. now the e.u. also faces concerns over homegrown terrorism and alarming number of young you were peons have joined the uprising against president assad in syria and that sparked fears they could bring terrorism back home details just ahead. also top officer criticizes the e.u. for leaving the united states to bear the financial burden of keeping the alliance afloat as the finance cuts jeopardize its effectiveness. now u.s. senators are stepping up their war rhetoric following allegations that syria as used chemical weapons against rebels damascus though calls the charges brazen lives

reminiscent of the buildup to the invasion of iraq and its weapons experts who are now asking questions all the evidence and witness accounts from an alleged sarin gas attack simply don't match the facts they say but hawks in washington are undaunted demanding that obama act now to secure syria's chemical weapons stockpiles for historian gerald horne the sole sounds very familiar it's deja hullo group we will remember. disaster is an adventurous so u.s. and british invasion of iraq in two thousand and three based on allegations of weapons of mass destruction that proved to be faulty therefore we must have some very difficult and searching questions for example what was the chain of custody with regard to these samples taken from the vattel field of syria to laboratories in london and in washington was there or was there the possibility of contamination

or foul play or hanky panky with these samples and how can you show that the regime rather than the rebels actually used these alleged chemical weapons and since we already know the security and divisions within the military is driving the conflict in both syria and iraq how do we know that some renegade soldier in the syrian military who is actually collaborating with the rebels watch these chemical weapons so as to provide a rationale for intervention by going in washington these difficult questions that must be answered well native syrians are not the only fire is battling the forces of bashar the law said that you and i tara chief has voiced concerns over the number of europeans joining the ranks of the rebels the main concern is that you are up could see all these people returning radicalized after the conflict and are just are silly reports on the mounting fears of homegrown terrorism. syria's two

year old conflict has already seen a spillover some neighboring countries but now it is extended far beyond that it's estimated that hundreds of europeans from fourteen countries mostly young men have joined the rebels in syria in fighting against bashar al assad london based international center for the study of radicalization with a tall figure at six hundred. hearing and those are the media coverage of the radicalization of young people has recently focused on a specific story of a father in search of the son dimitriy want to have enjoyed a radical islamist group that had gone to syria to join the fight. of the week. to practice some. planes are flying overhead all the time when we are on the streets or inside a building we have a bomb was dropped on us i haven't had a contact with. him he's here in aleppo i spoke with dimitris lawyer who's in

constant contact with him and he says the father is hell bent on finding his eighteen year old son. we don't expect that you will send the writing that's that's clear so that's also why didn't he. want you to go in and i want to do something for myself a son who started changing all three years ago a problem with to us that at a certain moment. was influenced by some radicalized made contact with some people on the streets and there was also a story about. told love. girlfriends and didn't it didn't work out and there was some frances say ok come with us and very slowly started it he was really influenced and really brainwashed that are the words of my client. started wearing other clothes. five times a day things like that so it was

a little bit awkward for some fifteen sixteen years also it was really on the influence of radical. political people this ruby you had come into contact with shari'a for belgium a radical islamist group whose leader followed had been arrested for hate speech and calls justifying the use of violence. there is judgement day if you're if you're a muslim you're go to paradise if you're this believer you will go to hell terrorism expert claude many cases the rise of radicalized is alarming many of whom are easy prey the first. question is why they convert and usually they don't convert because. they convert because of a problem at one moment in their life most of them have no political ideas to go to fight because the fact. and their goal is to fight if. they don't meet

mr vane's the. intersect. the people who live just fall quoting them and for a little convincing them that to be good must mean they want to go to so you have to sign off to be to the to the extent that if. authorities are paying even closer attention with alert levels heightened while worried family members of some of the youth fighting in syria have been calling for a clampdown on radical groups the best they could do short of going to syria themselves although that may not be completely out of the question does or sylvia r.t. antwerp in belgium rus fran it who runs against violent extremism network says monitoring fighters returning from syria is essential for the new security there is a threat which emanates from those individuals who have been radicalized overseas

and come back because they will be far more effective terrorist operators than individuals just radicalizing in their front room because they want to receive training in terms of what the europeans can do to counter this threat and it's very important for them to monitor not just people leaving but almost more so the individuals coming back because we've seen this happen before and in afghanistan in the eighty's bosnia in the ninety's and iraq in the two thousand that those individuals have gone overseas receive combat training and come back can encourage others to go and do the sent and also can provide training and leadership. now a wave of violence swept across iraq this week leaving more than two hundred people dead and critics warned the rise in the deadly clashes in bombings could tip the country into a civil war between sunni and shia muslims that's coming up in the program. and a look at the investigation into a mosque in a region psychiatric ward fire that killed thirty eight people this week careless

smoking and sedated drugs are side of this possible reasons for the high death toll . now one hundred guantanamo bay detainees are now officially on hunger strike that's the latest number recognized by the u.s. military out it's almost doubled over the past week but the figure is still far lower than the side of by the detainees attorneys they believe as many as one hundred people are taking part in the protests against intrusive searches and the mishandling of coal runs that's out of one hundred sixty six prisoners that are held the detention center and as you can see on the chart here twenty people are now being force fed via nasal tubes which is said to be an extremely painful procedure and five have been hospitalized although according to prison authorities their conditions are not life threatening meanwhile retired army medical corps

officer dr stevens in august says the practice of force feeding is unethical and doesn't help establish dialogue. all the world medical associations are categorically and ethically against force feeding the reason being is that it 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 their 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

now china has accused the united states of or a range of human rights abuses including spine on its citizens and add to the record now this week from the scene spelling out the reasons america has no plane to occupy the global moral high ground. and it's been disheartening week for the eurozone with unemployment in spain breaking twenty seven percent of reaching a new high and france figure is so grim in fact that they've left brussels questioning the benefits of us territory the presidency of the european commission declaring a monday that you were drive to slash spending has reached its limit meanwhile there have been worrying signs of public unrest war fresh protests have been held across the eurozone with official polls showing distrust to work. as more than doubled paul howell from the newly launched alternative for germany party says that

repeated blunders leaders have left little room for optimism. the fault of teaching them to give amends in the european union especially in the euro states has done such a lot of things wrong and has misused the treaties we made and which we swear that we would be kept all the time that there is no face and evil in in our experts to stabilize or even to defeat the crisis my impression is that we try to game you know two. european partners you must do it the german way but the other countries especially in southern europe they have to find their owed their own to which one of the most important too is to get back their old currency i think that these countries are more or less on their own they have to manage their problems for their own country and and the troika be the tool it's especially not into naturally the two it would help countries like portugal spain or greece now where the euro crisis raging on the clamor to join the union is dying down coming up in the

program here in our team return to a success story in iceland where the opposition is poised to win the general election void by its and to european message. and this top officer has called for more financial help from the e.u. in order to keep the alliance afloat he's accused the block of getting a free ride with washington bearing responsibility for the majority of defense spending nato has already suffered cuts amounting to forty five billion dollars which equals germany's entire military budget while the military the military alliance is popularity among european soldiers is also nosediving as they are numbers in the blog has plummeted nato survival now depends almost japan's almost entirely on u.s. spanning which makes up almost seventy five percent of its budget hole garner have the departments of international and comparative politics at the american

university of paris says the gap between the u.s. and the e.u. is growing wider. it's just a pool resources because of the fact that the europeans are so cutting so drastically and by the way so are the americans beginning to cut in europe and europeans only spend about twenty one to twenty five percent of nato's overall defense so the idea is the pool resources but the there's a lot of problems in that and you have to come to an agreement as to which resources should be american and which resources should be european in the past the we go back to the war in iraq in the one nine hundred ninety s. the problem was intelligence satellites europeans didn't have it the americans did that gave them control it was of the europeans one of the develop their own area and satellite for example so finding areas to full resources that everybody agrees is already problematic sixty thousand people signed a petition for the u.k. to speed up grammas sound to afghan interpreters again so how british troops are

now finding themselves said the mercy of the vengeful taliban which has branded them anime collaborators. this week a fire broke out at night in a psychiatric ward outside moscow killing thirty eight patients and staff only three people made it out alive are going off was on the scene looking at the possible causes of the tragedy. it was around half past one in the morning when a nurse that tiny psychiatric hospital in the village located around eighty miles away from moscow noticed smoke in one of the hallways she trying putting out the fires self but the flames were spreading too quickly and of course we saw the front entrance catch fire we dashed forward and broke the door we saw one man line and cautiously we try to help others but there was too much smoke and we had to run away one view local saw was happening some of them rushed to the hospital to try to help with the fire was already too powerful for them to handle only two patients

and that nurse made it out alive while dozens of others didn't and this is a psychiatric hospital and patients are given drugs and investigators say you know that could be one of the reasons why so few people made it out alive they say that most of the others it's very likely simply were not able to wake up when the fire started due to the heavy medication another problem is that the nearest fire station is located around thirty miles away from here that combined with bad roads were the reasons why it took over an hour for the first rescue teams to arrive investigators say that some of the patients died from smoke inhalation but most simply burns to death in their beds. the nurse who worked that night is unable condition in hospital but she is obviously shocked by this terrible and painful experience experts who are already able to investigate the building where the fire took place and they see. that it started in

a source for backing up rumors that one of the patients could have left a lit cigarette on it. it's not allowed to smoke there most probably someone lit is cigarette in bed and it all caught fire obviously right now many questions need answering there's lots of uncertain information and contradicting information as well but hopefully the ongoing investigation will help shed some. on the reasons behind one of the worst hospital fours in russia in years you go to school of moscow region while you go to our website for lots more news including the canadian government is considering topping out the state coffers by slapping a tax on the right to get online currency and you can get the details on our t. dot com. and play it on thick. has been sending us president barack obama lavish gifts worth forty thousand dollars including

a designer golf bag and crystal labs find out what other gifts made it to the white house on our website. today. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing operation throughout the day. now the same parties that oversaw iceland's economic collapse in two thousand and eight are now poised for a spectacular return to power vote counting is in full swing there following saturday's parliamentary elections the opposition's victory though is likely to put a name and talks on iceland's accession to accession talks with the european union the island nation was desperate to join in the aftermath of its financial collapse

but in. essence waned to make is seen widely as a textbook example of a fish in recovery and it all happened without any major cuts dr steve mccarthy from the birmingham city university believes iceland's in a pants from the e.u. is actually helping it to recover. there was talk about joining the e.u. but i think that that's out of the question that they realize that their sort of their best strachan for recovery is to remain isolated or to sort of to be independent as it were europe does not offer salvation i mean what iceland does have is the fact that it's in relative terms on the edge of the world i mean it's in the sort of the it's an isolated nation. and indeed is an island so it's effectively as we say in this country it's stuck it's fingers up at the rest of the world and so we're not giving your your money back home what can you do short of invading iceland which was never on the agenda it has been up to sort of to look to

its own sort of end to look after itself if you like for other european economies they're much more interlinked into europe iceland is not and so what it's been able to do is to sort of concentrate on reinvent and sort of things it's good up which it's as i say it's indigenous industries. and more of the week's news and today's stories for me in just a moment stay with us. i'm a the second to be a big money in stevia to which is both a cultural contemporary i don't take no logic east of the auditorium so join me to almost say honored c m a the second as we bring you the glitz the glamour and the best of the best in the performing not trying to add marines to team.

which i. love good will. come out but i made a little. welcome back you're watching our day coming to you live from moscow now more than two hundred people have been killed across iraq this week in a series of bloody sectarian attacks one of the deadliest to place in the er the city of kirkuk on tuesday what intense firefight broke out a security forces raided a sunni anti-government protest camp the clashes stoked anger between sunni and shia muslims that analysts warn could drag the country into civil war president

nuri al maliki said on saturday that violence in the bring syria is fueling religious tensions political analyst dan glazebrook says the wave of violence comes as a direct result of the occupation of iraq i think what we need to understand what we're seeing here in iraq is that we're seeing the fruits of this policy that was adopted about six years ago by the u.s. and saudi arabia in particular if you look at the way that the occupying powers are behaved ever since two thousand and three since the start of the iraqi occupation they've done everything it seems possible to try and foment sectarian is in the constitution introduced was completely based on confessional identity not on national citizenship sunni militias were to be equipped financed and armed by saudi arabia and qatar in order to wage basically sectarian war against shia muslims and we know that these two powers say that saudi arabia and qatar and the forefront of representing imperial u.s.

and british interests in the region so nothing gets done without the say so of these other powers. activists are waiting for the british prime minister to decide whether to grant asylum to afghan interpreters who worked with u.k. forces during military operations this week sixty thousand supporters side a petition launched by one of the interpreters and he's been forced into hiding by the taliban who consider him an anime collaborator and his art is probably boyko reports there are hundreds like him. it was a dangerous job that required courage many of these translators in washington the frontline said they're working with soldiers risking their lives in exactly the same way soldiers do but while british forces withdraw the afghan interpreters who made their work possible are being left to fend for themselves this is your order. and shadows. or you are all sent for those you have to be if i catch you

then i would if you rafi were to camp prince in the helmand province he says he gets regular calls from the taliban some six hundred fifty interpreters just like rafi remain in afghanistan with no right to settle in the u.k. those times when you when you finish the job and you've done it very well there's a thank you at the end of that job in this case it's a death threat it's a risk to your life but seen by this how about this having collaborated with the enemy and david the past year targeted killings of so-called international collaborators by the taliban have doubled got in touch with the foreign and commonwealth office who are responsible for the interpret his asylum claims this is the response we've got people who have put their life on the mine for the united kingdom will not be abandoned the government has put processes in place to move the service given by former enterprises with h m forces is taken fully into account if individuals apply for asylum in the u k.

the keyword here is individual for the moment it's a case by case basis according to the foreign office to make sure the personal circumstances are recognised case by case the sign of claims can take months even years there's no accountability every other nato country that directly employed interpreters has offered them some kind of special program visa program asylum britain's the only country that has an interest or dragging its feet unless we will be involved in events overseas in the future military clearly will need to have people helping them but who is going to help if they realize they're not going to help themselves senior military and political figures in the people of the watch here in the u.k. foreign office to rethink the policy in campaigns 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 man

that risked their lives to help british forces say that the waiting game is getting deadlier by the day we were helping the people but all they see is that reward with the aggression forces in afghanistan which are so-called the no two forces old eyes of forces to every other of the national. aggression forces and once they leave. the people who be in danger and will be fools to some wrongdoings of the americans who have been into choose and their families. r.t. london. russian opposition leader has gone on trial embezzle men charges he faces up to ten years behind bars for allegedly stealing half a million dollars worth of tempera from a state owned company nevada is neither the charges insisting it's a stitch up and a case against him is purely political they must occasion was shot twice due to

lack of evidence with a defense claiming there is still not sufficient grounds to open the trial the volley is name is more often associated with the wave of russian opposition protests that started in samara twenty eleven. now the us faith hard is of spying on its citizens a lack of democracy and ingrained discrimination this week after beijing released a report into rights abuses in the country china is used to taking flak over how it treats its own citizens here shasta explains these findings raise questions over whether the u.s. has any right to preach morals to other nations after years of swallowing accusations of violating human rights beijing is fighting back after last year the u.s. published its scolding human rights practices report now china held a mirror back to washington and its role of international human rights judge. let's take a look at where the two clash the u.s.

again accuse 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 cispa 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 can brains which really decide the winner is the largest part of the us report was dead tonight 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 head back with a scathing claim that in the country where racism and discrimination 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 u.s. report also lashed out at the treatment of prisoners and members of opposition in china contrast that with a country which runs a 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 human rights record by the by countering the claims of those who it 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 now take a look at some other stories from around the world. bangladeshi police have seen six people in connection with wendy's factory collapse which killed some three hundred sixty people among those arrested are at least two engineers responsible

for the building's construction and two owners of the factory rescuers have been working round the clock since the tragedy say the voices of survivors from under the rubble are getting weaker nine hundred people are still missing trapped under the debris. three blasts have ripped through the pakistan sea of karate killing at least four people do of the targeted supporters of liberal political parties ahead of the may eleventh elections in the country no one has so far claimed responsibility but the taliban recently threatened three parties that it sees us to secular including those targeted in the latest attacks. in the u.k. hundreds of protesters have marched outside a royal air force base after it started operating unmanned aerial vehicles in afghanistan activists are demanding an immediate and to the program because of the high civilian death toll linked to drone attacks the ministry of the fans has confirmed reports that the first amanda overseas flight was recently directed from

britain the missions are said to be mostly for surveillance although operators have the option of using the vehicles on board weapons. now the investigation into the boston are some bombings continues while questions are being raised or how this could happen in a country that pours billions of dollars into national security will be discussing the issue it was just one route for justice department ethics advisor that's after a short break stay with us. i am from. the lord that. us and then every day she says another body in the body in a syria or syria in arabic.

in rhetoric a lawyer and a former ethics advisor to the department of justice joins me today to talk about the boston bombings thank you for joining us on r.t. i want to start with the charges that the u.s. said they will charge the suspect with weapons possession of weapons of mass destruction what is that well i wish i could tell you more about that but i haven't actually seen that charge leveled against anybody it's obvious that they are considering the weapon of mass destruction to be the bomb which they termed improvised explosive devices so they gave it this military kind of term for what most people would consider a bomb and weapons of mass destruction obviously sounds pretty. pretty horrific but they were talking about homemade bombs

pressure cookers and now they're talking about weapons of mass destruction i mean how how how is that even possible when you're talking about homemade bombs i honestly believe that it's because the defendant or the suspect here is muslim obviously there have been a number of white people who've committed massacres lately in aurora colorado holmes shot up the movie theater adam long shot up all those children at sandy hook elementary school and none of those people were charged as terrorism or with terrorism charges we also so a lot of the media play into that right after the bombings a lot of people were talking about possible connections to different people different countries even what do you. do you make of that i think immediately there

was very much a desire to frame this as an act of terrorism and therefore to try to put the label on here on these men that they were islamic jihad is and i mean the only. positive spin i could give that is that they were trying to people were trying to distance themselves from it to make it feel more normal but the more sinister interpretation is obviously we have a lot of islamophobia and muslim bias in this country as evidenced by the fact that the man charged for this massacre is being treated as a terrorist and charged with. carrying weapons of mass destruction whereas other people would get different charges like timothy mcveigh did for his bomb making and because of his background maybe there was a lot of or there were a lot of arguments leading out first reading his rights. then to charging him as

a enemy combatant or as a u.s. citizen and now all the arguments about his rights and interrogation. i mean where is the legal system in all of this well the legal system should never put up with that i mean i think most people most reasoned people would knew that he should be mirandized and maybe there was a small window during which they could ask him about immediate public safety concerns but that was it and then they needed to mirandize him and read him his rights in terms of trying to call him an enemy combatant that is specifically so they would not have to mirandize him and we've seen that in other cases with who's a. where they initially called him an enemy combatant and he didn't get to see

a lawyer for three and a half years so all along there's been this effort to treat him differently than we would an ordinary criminal who should be tried in federal criminal court and as you say that's the background maybe that his background that is when into this that's actually. leading into the events or leading into the conclusion that's how you know not even so much his background as meeting from chechnya i think it was more discovering that he and his brother were both muslim and discovering that the brother not the actual defend but that the older brother had been watching radicalized video propaganda i actually watch the same stuff as part of my job. in national security and human rights so that doesn't necessarily mean you're

a terrorist russia tried to warn the us try to tell them that they should check into this but the minute the news came out everybody was talking about his background everybody was even confusing with the czech republic what do you make of all of this if it was a massive ignorance on the part of americans in terms of. religion obviously islam is a peaceful religion.
