today's news and the top stories that shape of the week on our t.v. the f.b.i. reportedly gets a russian wiretap where one of the alleged boston terrorist talks jihad one of the why the u.s. might have dropped the ball in russia's warnings two years ago. the u.s. and britain side evidence of the syrian government using chemical weapons some made accusations their rhetoric sounds all too familiar with the one who ceded to western intervention in iraq. no jobs no new grim figures of from violence and spain well the e.u. why despair leads iceland pool on joining a struggling union. and a one hundred one tunnel prisoners are now on hunger strike the official number more than doubling says the military trying to break from months long protest by

force. it's it's five pm here in the russian capital you live with us on our t.v. on up the weekly with me till i'm let's say russia has reportedly given the f.b.i. the tape of a phone call between one of the boston bombing suspects and his mother where they discuss jihad a soldier have been secretly recorded in twenty leavened a year russia want the u.s. about one of the sinai of brothers radical religious views the u.s. though found nothing suspicious of making checks. again on why the f.b.i. might have failed to take proper action. 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

i have go off the radar after they've been warned about him multiple times over the last two years russia warrant none of the f.b.i. about tamerlan son i have did they drop the ball the f.b.i. . dropped the ball here is no question 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 flannery we don't want him or the russians right and did the united states ignore their warnings to disrespect repeated warnings tom 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 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 or lon may have learned about bomb making on

his trip to russia but the answer could be 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 if 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 politicize 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 stick on. sanaya of alleged confession that the boston attack so a motivated by america's actions in the muslim world every night a debate about u.s.

policies abroad the editor dot com believes that getting involved in foreign conflicts has increased the terrorist threat at home. the fact that they cite us foreign policy as a motivator in fact for their attack shouldn't really surprising every attack that wasn't in the f.b.i.'s hatched sting operation since nine eleven has had that component 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 rocket to get us there in pakistan and yemen use real 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 actions 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 pakistan or yemen and somalia

a lot of this is still going on and he still generating fierce hatred from a lot of people who resent us aggression the mother of the boston marathon bombing suspects that was added to a federal terrorism database eighteen months before the attack american officials revealed that detail observation accuse pretty self murdering her eldest son. he was alive why do you. want to know more on r.t. dot com find out how she bases his asians on in consistencies and the authorities account in the manhunt for the thumb my brother. britain and the u.s. said to this week there's growing evidence that the syrian government has used chemical weapons the u.s. had warned that the yields of such arms crosses a red line israel's already called for intervention but of the u.n. said the assertions to meet the standards of say witness accounts don't put facts

of the weapons the story in general don says we've seen this kind of rhetoric for. it's deja vu all over again we will remember the disaster as 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 ask some very difficult and searching questions for example what was the chain of custody with regard to the samples taken from the battlefield of syria to laboratories in wonder 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 next security is going to visions within the military is driving the conflict in both syria and iraq how do we know that some women

a good soldier in the syrian military who is actually collaborating with the rebels want these chemical weapons so i asked to provide a rationale for intervention by london and washington these are difficult questions that must be answered. native syrians are not the only find battling against president a son to the. terror and shiva as one that europeans traveling to syria to join the rebels could pose a threat back home after they return fares are going throughout europe that it's young muslims that could get in touch with islamic faction among their position that's a sillier reports. syria's two year old conflict is already seen to spill over 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 fighting against bashar al assad the london based international center for the study vatican has ation put the tall figure at six hundred. well

here and i'm still sure the eat it coverage on the radicalization you. people has recently focused on one specific story that of a father in search of the son dimitriy wanted southern georgia radical islam this group that had gone to syria to join the fight father had gone all the way they are hoping to bring his somebody. built planes are flying overhead all the time when we are on the street or inside a building we have a bomb was dropped on us i haven't had a contact with a year and we should meet here in aleppo we spoke with dimitris lawyer who's a constant contact with him and he says the father is hell bent on finding his eighteen year old son. we don't expect that he will send me to syria i think that's that's clear so that's also why didn't he. was eager to go in self he said i want to do something for myself

a son who started changing about three years ago the problem with to us that certain moment he was influenced by some radical list girlfriend and he didn't he didn't work out and there was some francis a you can read those and very slowly started that he was really influenced and really bred to us to grow beards and. started wearing other clothes. five times a day this groupie who had come into contact with a shari'a for belgium a radical islamism group whose leader followed belka some had been arrested for hate speech and calls justifying the use of violence over there is judgement day if you're if you're a muslim you will you will go to paradise if you're this believer the older you will go to hell terrorism expert glowed many gay says the rise of radicalized us is alarming many of whom are easy prey the first. question is why they

convert. and usually they don't convert because due to me they can vote because of a problem at one moment in their life most of the if new political ideas they go to first because the fact if they were they don't meet mr to convince the. b. intersect trapped in the net of people they're just talking in and from the convincing them that to be good in the scene they want to go to so you have to say no to commit another terrorist attack. authorities are paying even closer attention with alert levels heightened while worried family members of some the youth fighting in syria have been calling for a clamp down on radical groups the best they could do short of going to syria themselves although that may not be completely out of question the source is the r.t. . the euro zone's had another troubled week with protests taking place in several

crisis hit countries its main almost thirty people were injured in clashes pretty so when over a thousand protesters voiced their anger over a new record high unemployment figures the jobless rate is now at twenty seven percent and to a surge of protests well the held in greece and portugal the discontent comes as official polls show that trust in me you institution says reach an all time voting leader of the u.k. dependent upon to told us that anyone with money invested in the single currency zone is now at risk. maybe investors should be worried all over the euro zone particular southern euro zone i mean i i been pondering for years you know what would happen when spain finally went back how would they possibly deal with the sheer scale of the bailout that would be needed which perhaps would be five or six hundred billion euros how could this happen without huge american support of lobel help because what cyprus has done because the template of the what they will do in future is they won't buy all countries out there i will do it by steam. investors'

money by taxing people on their properties and by forcing central banks into selling their holdings of gold i mean this is a truly assist. situation so my advice to people is if you own property if you've got money in bank accounts in the eurozone get your money out before they come after you because it's perfectly clear that is their plan heading on from here it's quite extraordinary that. these countries that are in trouble with the eurozone they've effectively given up parliamentary democracy and handed it over to a very arrogant troika ultimately the euro zone is going to break up the economics that break it up it may be civil disobedience or violence on a very large scale that eventually get some of those mediterranean countries out and after that i think the big question then is well what is the european union for . with these financial crisis still running hard to iceland cold feet over joining when we come back with force on the island nation that bounce back but those voters

have turned to decide of the euro skeptic. my skis i'm a this i going to be a b. money in stevia to choose which is both a cultural contemporary i am technology to serve the auditoriums 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 arts pride of marines to team.

the international airport in the very heart of moscow. welcome back you're watching our t.v. now the number of hunger striking going to animal prisoners like knowledge by jail officials has jumped to over one hundred this week now the figures has doubled since the military conducted a violent raid in the facility forcefully moving inmates refusing food into singles male cells and imposing a lockdown two weeks ago now the number is still follow was then that of the

detainees lawyers claim it is now the last they believe that as many as a hundred and thirty people are actually taking part in this a protest against mistreatment and indefinite detention many refusing food for the parts three months let's take a look at these a figures now what the lawyers tell us is that over one hundred and sixty six detainee's actually on hunger strike but the guantanamo officials tell us that only one hundred are actually on hunger strike that is the official record from the guantanamo detainees twenty percent of them they said are being force fed while only five percent of them have been hospitalized officials say that those in hospital do not have life threatening conditions however clive stafford smith actually says who's a lawyer for several of these detainees a shared with us some of the examples of the mistreatment they could be prompted to the hunger strike. for isn't it doesn't exactly what they told the six being

dressed up you notice if they're in their outfits come and basically be to not to make them do it pendant to the floor and check to describes how this one guy who's three hundred pounds sits on and sometimes he's in the stomach and i've seen the bruises on him from this process every time i'm there and this comes up i write to the admiral in charge of the general in charge i've never yet got a reply from him i'm in the best one can do is complain loudly and tell me when you get out what you see this change there because unfortunately the federal judge is there for all charge of the case and it's really just last week that he has no jurisdiction to order the military to behave better under the circumstances. later today hear more from clive stafford smith the lawyer for fifteen guantanamo detainees including the last remaining british citizen it's also available online

at r.t. dot com. icelanders drifting away from the e.u. to a skeptical position parties one worries for use in a parliamentary election this week now it's not expected to form a ruling coalition the opposition's victory is likely to put an end on iceland's assertions talks with the european union that had been desperate to join in the aftermath of its financial collapse but enthusiasm has since waned the rage of rekha is widely seen as a textbook example of efficient recovery and the out of self populate comics dot com says iceland has nothing to gain from e.u. membership. i believe it's because they are against joining the euro and i believe that's what the icelanders are voting for now is not to get into the euro which is which the socialists were doing they were cheating there was some sticking points but i think the senators just said they don't want to join the euro they're doing

quite fine with their own right now they get almost all the benefits of belonging to the european union i think they belong to their trade already their their trade union so they have all those benefits and they keep their own currency i would say that the main problem is is that they need to keep their own currency to recover just as all that is doing now in the last year it's just yet. nato supreme allied commander in europe has called them as contributions to the alliances defends us spending on balance and accuse the e.u. of getting a free ride at washington's expense is not the furthest to sound the alarm over europe string king military spending let's see how that trend has affected nato so far together european nations have slower as the edge leaves a forty five a billion dollars which is almost equal to demand entire military budgets not the cuts have also led to military personnel in the european states and to decline more

than twenty five percent since the turn of the century nato survival now depends almost entirely on the us spending which makes almost a seventy five percent of a b. actual budget but the rigorous often activists from stopping nato international says u.s. contributions to the alliance are a means of buying influence. the fact that the u.s. is paying seventy five percent or you know the expenses of nato is not so surprising considering what the u.s. gets out of the u.s. can purchase you know the political loyalties of countries and in a condition of economic destitution and i think particularly those in eastern europe after the collapse of the socialist law let's recall toward new members of nato in the post cold war period all incorporated into nato within one decade from one thousand nine hundred to one thousand nine hundred thirty year and these are countries that have been forced to send troops into an act of war zone the individual armed forces of each nato nation are going to become less and less

national more and more international more and more sort of subservient to brussels and ultimately to washington and more designed for expeditionary adventurous abroad such as those in libya afghanistan in the indian ocean on the mediterranean sea in the balkans and so forth they have to protect their own homes. canada is planning to coin it in a with the new digital dollar online with details of how the government day is considering topping up state coffers by slapping a tax on big climbs the running gate online currency. and a presidential perks of former president french leader nicholas a crazy sent abroad obama lavish gifts with forty thousand dollars including a designer golf bag and crystal lamps find out what i'll be made it to the white house that are key to. one of russia's leading opposition activists the anti-corruption campaign or less in a while new went on trial this week on embezzlement charges he's accused of

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 says the bills to control the 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 but the amount of money spent on complaints which really decide 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 u.s. 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 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. i had a look at the lives of rebel fighters in the oil rich region of nigeria.
