today's news are the stories that shape the week when artsy the f.b.i. reportedly gets a russian wiretap where one of the alleged boston terrorist talks you had a look at why the u.s. might have dropped the ball on russia's warnings two years ago. u.s. and britain cite evidence of the syrian government using chemical weapons amid accusations the rhetoric sounds all too familiar with what preceded western intervention in iraq. no jobs no hope new green figures problem violence in state while the e.u. wide despair leaves iceland joining the struggling union. and one hundred guantanamo prisoners are now on hunger strike the official number of more than doubling since the military tried to break the months long protest by four.

all over again even from what if you just joined us this is weekly from r t a round of the big stories of the last days with me ken i would first tonight is reportedly given the f.b.i. the tape of a phone call between one of the boston bombing suspects and his mother where they discussed jihad it's thoughts have been secretly recorded in twenty eleven the year russia warned the u.s. about one of the brothers radical religious views the u.s. though found nothing suspicious ultimately checks is out he's going to teach you can on why the f.b.i. might have failed to take the proper action. in the wake of the boston bombings it's the f.b.i. now bombarded with questions how could they let the actual boston bomber tamerlan off the radar after they've been warned about him multiple times over the last two years russia warrant not only the f.b.i. about tamerlan son i have did they drop the ball the f.b.i. . dropped the ball is there should be drug of all there's no doubt about it she was

on the radar and they let him go he's on the russians radar why was a flag put on him or the russians right and did the united states ignore their warnings 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 audience the number one all of this was missed it's possible that they were too down by some preconception of who would be a part of the if 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 warships devalued the russian record something that the russian president says has to be fixed if we truly undertake a joint effort we will not suffer these blows and take such losses if you want to

toss a ball that u.s. authorities politicized the intelligence given the fact that russia concerns had been ignored before you yes ahmad if the white head of the internationally recognized chechen terrorists science was given asylum and now lives in boston. who rushes accuse of heinous crimes against innocent people is still seen in the u.s. 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 this from the internet no 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 hart's are now if woke up this week he reportedly told the families 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 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. have sledged confession that the boston the talks were motivated by america's actions in the muslim world regard to debate about u.s. policies abroad you know sort of untold a cold believes that getting involved in foreign conflicts has increased the terrorist threat back at home. the fact that they cite us foreign policy as a motivator in fact for their attack shouldn't be really surprising every one to f.b.i. hatched saying 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. policy u.s. aggression in the middle east you know in our rock in afghanistan and pakistan and yemen has 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 them some 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 and yemen and somalia a lot of this is still going on and he's still generating fierce hatred from a lot of people who resent u.s. aggression the mother of the boston marathon bombing suspects was added to the federal terrorism to eighteen months before the attack american officials revealed that detail of to police of murdering her eldest son.

family says he was alive today what. do you. know about an hour on r t dog confines and how she bases their accusations of inconsistency to the authorities account in the manhunt for the survivor brothers. the eurozone had another trouble with protests taking place in several crisis hit countries insane almost thirty people were injured in clashes with police when over a thousand protesters voiced their anger of a new record high unemployment figures the jobless rates no twenty eight in greece and portugal the discontent comes as fishel polls show that trust in the e.u. institutions has reached an all time low. and the partnership which used to be at the heart of the decision making cool times to france where lund's ruling socialists in france have attacked the german chancellor for acting only in her country's interest they said in a draft document on european policy and although party officials later said the

strong words would be removed the sting reflects growing resentment against german austerity no surprise as this investment advisor patrick young is on the line now to give us somewhere well informed comment patrick i mean present alliance party allies have since backtracked on this of us as i said what's left the sour aftertaste what is the state of relations these days well the tragedy is that the core by all of the european union for so long frankly german relations are plummeting to new lows because i mean essentially you've got mr hollande to it's less than a year already can't even less popular than actually charles de gaulle was when they had to move him to an airport in germany in one nine hundred sixty eight and up the german air force guard him against student revolutionaries that's pretty bad to manage that in peace time in nine months he's got a regime that's scarred by the fact that it's got a very corrupt individuals amongst them that lied about their tax affairs all the time but they've been putting taxes up on everybody else so therefore the french

are left in a situation where they're desperate to do any. thing and basically the sixty's or seventy's level of the law ticket they want to include the economy by spending lots of money that france doesn't however they're hoping germany's going to give them and mrs merkel says no new criticism can save some former french province of france for failing he said relations are set to get worse or at the core of this is it just that germany wants france to spend money that hasn't got or is there more to it oh i think there's a lot more to it i mean what is obviously there is this dynamism of the whole degree of difference of opinion i mean mrs merkel is a rather stand boring german christian democrat she believes in essentially managing your person who's very clearly has the socialists are like all french governments and particularly socialists they believe that they should be harvick they should have the right to spend anybody else's money willy nilly even their own on occasion when they have it and ultimately that's a big clash but at the same time there's a problem because actually the ship is carrying part of the fundamental bobrick of

the european union at the moment and that is the between the northern european nations led by germany who are seen to be fiscally signed and pragmatic and sensible of by their remit coming out of the nest old tend to come closer to the mediterranean and they're led effectively by from some in france likes to think that it's still a first world economy but the difficult years their numbers really aren't dramatically better some of the economies of the mediterranean such as say if police or spare them campaigned on pledges to resistance to america's policies he softened the theme after that but to say he's going to bow to pressure about what i do for hard is i mean his popularity has plummeted so vastly and so quickly it's very difficult because i mean ultimately the last french presidential election was fought on a juvenile debate it discuss a high the french government whoever it was going to be were going to and therefore it's ridiculous i mean it's the sort of argument that wouldn't even grisoft. second

grade students union advantage countries for president that sort of an institution it's a disaster holland has said he's going to relax on rich he's had to ultimately backtrack on up he's cracked down on corporations he's having to crack down a lot because ultimately there's a great sucking sign does all of the corporations and indeed the wealthy entrepreneurs lead the country and therefore he's left with position hastert ultimately tried to skip somebody else another he's decided if mrs merkel everybody thinks they can attack germany and get the germans to open their purse strings a final thought the e.c. president admitted this week that you're about to submit you think i gave her full day that our border will make any difference at all i don't think it'll make any difference whatsoever because the problem is that mr barroso is only echoing the words of actually grips portugais statesman their first post military dictatorship president of ninety seven actually said it's time to leave the euro it's time for portugal to default and actually there's

a grain of truth or not so alternately mr barroso is trying to keep together incredibly different viewpoints but which is and ultimately the miracle is that the euro will survive this far but it seems very difficult to actually put a long term bet in its favor patrick young fans have so much nice to see tonight and with these financial crisis still running hot iceland is getting cold feet over joining shortly than tonight we report on the island nation the back but it is voters have turned decidedly euro skeptic. as quote a few minutes but next britain in the us said this week is growing evidence that the syrian government has used chemical weapons the us aboard that the use of such arms crosses a red line israel's already called for intervention but the un said the assertions do not meet its standard of proof while arms experts say witness accounts don't tally with the effects of the weapons historian gerald horne says we've seen this kind of rhetoric before. it's deja vu all over again we will remember the disaster

as an adventurous 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 there 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 vattel field of syria to laboratories of wonder and in washington to whether the possibility of contamination or file player with the 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 divisions i must try to get both theory and iraq how do we know that some renegade soldier in the syrian military was actually collaborating with the rebels watch these chemical weapons so as to provide a rationale better than in washington these are difficult questions that must be

answered is native syrians are not the only fighters battling against president said the eames anti terror chief has warned that europeans traveling to syria to win the rebels could pose a threat back when they were ten there's a growing threat europe that it's young muslims could get in touch with his name is factions among the opposition tesser a sinner reports. syria's two year old like has already seen the spillovers in 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 put the tall figure at six hundred. people here and there were built for the media coverage on the radicalization of young people has recently focused on one specific story out of a father in search of the son of dimitri want to stop him short of radical his law

this group that had gone to syria to join the fight father had gone all the way they are hoping to bring to somebody. planes are flying overhead all the time when we are on the streets or inside a building we had a bomb was dropped on us i haven't had a contact with yeah you can reassure him he's here in aleppo we spoke with dimitris lawyer wasn't pantech with it and he says the father is hell bent on finding his eighteen year old son that you and we don't expect that he will send me to syria i think that's that's clear so that's what we'll also why didn't he was what he did to go he said i want to do something for myself a son who started changing about three years ago a problem with to us that at a certain moment he was influenced by some radical list plaint and he didn't he didn't work out and there were some friends who say ok come with us and very slowly

started it he was really influenced and really brave to us to grow beards and. started very vigorous. preaching for if we five times a day this group be you would have come into contact with the issue really for belgium a radical islam is a group whose leader followed belka some have been arrested for caught over there is. judgment 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 glowed many cases the rise of radicalized youth is alarming many of whom are easy prey the first. question is why they convert and usually they don't convert because dude to make sure they can vote because of a problem at one moment in their life most of them have no clear political ideas and the goofy if they were they don't meet its mission to convince them. they could be in

a sect the could have trapped in the net of people who just talk writing them and for convincing them to move the model to science or to commit another terrorist attack if. authorities are paying even closer attention with alert levels heightened while worried family members of summer youth fighting in syria pouring down a radical groups the best they could do short of going to syria themselves although that may not be completely out of the question does our sylvia our team antwerp in belgium. stay with us about with more national news just. steve i'm a the second to be. here to see what's contemporary i'm to logically serve the auditorium so joining me to my must say i'm honored c m a the second as we bring you the glitz the glamour and the best of the best in the performing for i have not

number of hunger strike in guantanamo prisoners acknowledged by jail officials jumped to one hundred this week the figures doubled since the military conducted a violent rape of the facility inmates who are refusing food or being put in solitary confinement or guards of imposed a lot as well a fortnight ago but i'm still follower than some of the detainees attorneys claim they believe as many as one hundred thirty people are taking part of the protest against mistreatment and indefinite detention either way more than half the one hundred sixty six prisoners carry on the war twenty being force fed strapped to a chair with a chub down the nose and throat five inmates have been hospitalized. so the prison authorities say they condition they say is not life threatening. he's a federal public defender representing a guantanamo prisoners who spoke recently carlos hi there what's the latest you got for your client. what condition is he and the rest of the inmates in that he's telling you and i talked to him on friday by telephone he indicated that they are

using a large tube in his nose a size ten instead of a size eight which is causing him pain he went into detail about the raid he wanted me to underscore that this is a peaceful protest they intend no i don't want any pain either engages in violence has it wrong this is a peaceful protest against what's happening in guantanamo well i guess the authorities will say they've got a judy of care to look after these guys as well they say none of the threatening true or false do you think completely false obviously anyone who's been to is and who's lost at this point. to them or more of his body weight in a very dire position where is the boundary call as much if you lost the line to hopefully can still hear me so we just lost the line a second carlos well here's the boundary between the two here. is it justified do you think. i well listen

if you're going to be force fed listen to the men do not put a bigger two and punish them in the way you do it but the issue here is with the president again president obama must pick up the ball and end this strike the military has come around and is admitting that they can't get a full scale strike to the duration which we've never seen the president has to intervene yesterday's at the correspondents' dinner making jokes while men are dying and one time oh we asked that he has some attention so call this is why the prisoners have protests we've seen a spike recently that's one of the reasons yes all know. that that's the fuel that's driving the fire now the military could negotiate an end to this in a matter of days if they would incorporate those if they work with them and talk to the man instead of exerting force i think they could end the strike however the fuel behind the fire is the indefinite detention until president obama does something about that we're going to be stuck in the same position maybe in two or

three months when something else happens it's complete they didn't doorstep here two or three months i guess the sub's fact is there's likely to have been a death toll to buy that within two or three months is it no well i think the military's admitted that i mean you have been the person that they're going to be multiple deaths because of this and that's just that's the fact that's what happens when you have hopelessness and that's when what happens when you have this terrible situation that's being aggravated by the military now the military is not has fault here they need to negotiate an end and not just try to exert their will on these hopeless men but ultimately the moves have to happen in washington have the president say we're dedicated to closing it and i'm appointing somebody to do it and there's not only that i does not all that could stop this hunger strike now or is it cost the point of no return almost. now the military still can end this by negotiation and fight right he said nobody in the care of his talk to them in

a meaningful way they just attack and exert their will so i think that military negotiates they can end the strike but that's not going to end the problem the problem will remain until the president sets to pick up the ball and follow through with his promise to close guantanamo and if he doesn't people will die thanks for being on the line call us want a federal public defender representing a guantanamo prison a lot for us to think that later tonight we're here for another lawyer clive stafford smith who represents fifteen guantanamo detainees including the last remaining british prisoner his interview available for you on our website. iceland is drifting away from the e.u.

after euro skeptic opposition parties won most votes in a parliamentary election this week it's now expected them to form a ruling coalition of trying to put an end to to iceland succession talks with the european union it would be desperate to join in the aftermath of its financial collapse but the enthusiasm is since waned reykjavik is widely seen as a textbook example of the fission recovery the editor of popular economics dot com told us iceland's nothing again no from the membership. i believe it's because they are against running the euro and i believe that's what the icelanders are voting for now is not to get into the euro which was a socialist were doing we were negotiating that with some sticking points but i think the higher standards just said they don't want to join the euro they're doing quite fine with their product right now you get almost all the benefits of belonging to the european union i think they block their trade already their trade union so they have all lost benefits and they keep their own currency i would say the problem is is that they need to keep their own currency to recover it just as

all that is doing now in the last year the stories making headlines right now tonight an apartment blocks collapsed in northern france it's left at least two people dead nine others were injured in a suspected gas leak exploded at the four story building rescue teams have been deployed to try to retrieve two bodies still under the rubble of the destroyed complex. policeman have been shot outside the italian prime minister's office in rome one is in a serious condition in hospital it happened as enrica letter in his cabinet sworn in the president's palace interior minister called the incident a tragic unemployed man after the arrest of forty nine year old sea italy play democrat letter early this week which put an end to a two month political stalemate. at least two people have been killed and twenty five injured after two bombs exploded near a pakistan election office the child reported to be among the casualties it's the latest violence that's linked to the may eleventh general election earlier on

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 and hollywood this is not the first time that there has been pro-choice and the 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 u.s. military in south korea let alone at an away game in the usa the thing that is twisting is not the ship is that that they will censor movies for whoever's got a lot of cash countries 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.
