i'm kerry johnston. syria's prime minister has survived a bomb blast targeting his convoy in the capital so ten people died and thirteen others were wounded in the explosion which happened in a busy district and local correspondent. with the very latest from damascus. the blast took place today in nine o'clock it targeted the prime minister convoy in. western eyes see it was a bomb that was attached to a b.m.w. a black that was parked two days ago in that way where the convoy usually goes from his house to his office usually the convoy goes from different roads every day but this time he was this way and intentionally. placed led to the killing of one of his but that took place near the garden and the school thanks god this happened when the children went inside so one only two of them were

injured in this list as it's it's and it's technique and it's way it's very close to what's usually shepherd to north which is a part of the. usually doesn't them ask is. how they usually do that a bomb being a bombing is raising questions about rebel tactics the editor of politics first magazine told us how it's likely that western aid is ending up in the terrorists' hands. the fact that civilians have been killed as well demonstrates just what is the heinous nature of the free syrian army that they're quite prepared. to kill not only the syrian prime minister but also fellow syrian civilians and this is something which is just completely ignored in the west and is no different so the terrorist bombings that occurred in london in july two thousand and five the various groups that make up the free syrian army have made it very clear that their ideology is islam islam they wish to look place the secular progressive states that

is syria which should really look and many of these groups are linked to al qaida for example the elements are fronts so the fact bath of western governments led by and principally by the united states has been has been send in the hundreds of millions of dollars to the so-called free syrian army really you have to sort of think about it yourself is the money going to end up in the hands of terrorists yes it is without any doubt whatsoever and western intentions in syria come up in today's cross-talk program where people have elex that was behind it president obama's red line the syrian conflict and could nato countries break the civil war deadlock.

there appear to be more questions than answers the boston bombing investigation continues with one suspect dead and the other in custody and online and media frenzy is in overdrive and speculation is right along theories is that the older brother at sinai off was killed by police after being captured not before is not a geisha and shared by the suspects mother who cited inconsistences and police reports and footage from the manhunt when other suspicion that search triggered online disputes is that the whole thing was staged allegedly backed up by pictures from the blast site well new revelations are also emerging but are not from the usa or russia has many a cautionary tale with a very details. speculation continues regarding where exactly the elder brother to meddle on saturday night became so interested and radical islam in russia's north caucasus during his six month visit or in the united states where he lived for over

a decade the theory of possible a third country being involved is now circulating in the media and that third country is georgia which time or allegedly managed to visit during his trip to russia back in two thousand and twelve now this theory is fueled by the latest revelations coming from georgian prime minister. he believes that the previous government led by president mikhail saakashvili before he dissolved some of his powers wasn't involved in recruiting and training a group of chechens and that these camps were later set up to send trained militants to russia's volatile north caucasus to further destabilize the situation there now prime minister really believes that there are strong suspicions that the story to us worked closely with terrorists as a. book of sorts and so it is possible that terrorists had been trained in georgia but the investigation is underway this week for its results we will get

a lot of new information maybe even some shocking findings there are suspicions that there is work with terrorists and militants if this information is confirmed this will be shocking some say that the investigation will hurt the country's image but the country's emerge will only be hurt if somebody else conducts the investigation so far it remains unclear whether this ricin news has sufficient grounds on the one hand it could just be the latest twist in the ongoing political rivalry between two political factions in the country president mikheil saakashvili and the new government led by prime minister when you should really on the other hand it is really well known that georgia. wasn't ready on friendly terms with russia after her sacrifice really came to power so there could be some real grounds for the speculation so now investigators must establish whether there is a new frontier opened up in the terror trail and whether this takes the boston

bombing choir in a new direction u.s. investigators are also convinced not have been carried out without special training the list of suspects keeps growing as investigation continues details much more at all to dot com. the russian born couple are battling the u.s. courts for the return of the five month old son the baby was seized last week by child protective services after his parents didn't want him heart surgery or waiting for a second doctor's opinion. nicolo told r.t.

shawn told us about their plight we have been shocked when they walked in our door and just they all of them and saying is just let us see your son if he's ok and i said i'm holding him in my arms he is ok you can take a look and they're saying give me your child and that's when they took away no paper not so ever they've been providing and they just walked off the door was any reason given behind the nine eleven call from the hospital after you took your own child to another hospital for a second opinion i mean have they given you any reason whatsoever. they say that his and them urgency that he's almost dying then needs medical treatment and that he needs needs to get back to the hospital immediately. i do believe this . no he was fine he was laughing he was eating he was a normal child

a normal baby to go home and he was released from the from the other hospital that we took him to the doctor released to be do statements so the parents are basically good to go home with their baby in the b.b.c. from their arms very interesting now taking a step back facebook and social networks they are a way for you to get support and you said facebook shut down the page that you set up to get support for your case they give you any reason why they close down this page no i think it has everything to do with the government we got a lot of support we got a lot of prayers a lot of people who were there you know just praying for us and all all site in the first facebook page a blog called facebook basically my sister in law called facebook no answer every question as she was asking them there was no answer coming back we opened a second facebook page for support same thing happened again your child hasn't been

a lot of home in four days what's going through your mind it kills me i don't have my baby of me at nighttime i just visiting him like been visiting him three times today for an hour and you're leaving at seven o'clock of again the hard going home you baby snatch the few you're just feeling empty there's missing something in your in we're just waiting for tomorrow stay just to you know like coming in this court hearing good news taking your baby going home or going to a different hospital. well russia's child rights on woodsmen says he's across the case and will provide support to the parents who can talk to their lawyer in the u.s. who brings the government has a head start over nicholai family they were provided with medical evidence that said the baby was fine to be taken home and despite the state decided to. manufacture an excuse to take this baby away i think what it comes down to is the parents did. appreciate the opinion of the doctor in the hospital and

in my opinion what they did was that upset the initial physician and he decided to make a call to child protective services and say that there is a child who has an imminent danger of death what he didn't know what the time was that they'd gone to a second hospital and it's different doctor said no it's not an issue history says that c.p.s. will win this case at the initial spot. judge judges will tend to err on the side of caution i am hopeful that when all of the evidence is put forth and the facts are shown it will be very clear that these are wonderful parents who have taken every measure to care for their son have done everything appropriately and have done nothing more than just like one particular doctor and wanted to have their son cared by someone who they had stayed in confidence and. now a series of car blasts have killed nineteen people in southern iraq several fences

the international landlord in the very heart of moscow. talk about more world issues for you now china's clout in east asia rapidly grows in japan is looking to forming its ties with russia as a counterbalance the country's leaders are meeting in moscow with big deals on the table to fill the energy gap left in japan for me for sima nuclear disaster the

office can offer falls. russia and japan have a long and very complicated relationship there is the territorial dispute over the south and cool islands there's still more peace treaty all the way back from the times of the second world war but if you look at it then japan's relations with its while the other regional players are just complicated if not more especially with china where there is an even bigger territorial dispute which has almost reached the stage of full scale military confrontation then there is talk your strategic go once with washington and its growing military presence in the pacific including troops bases the joint drills and all that is definitely not helping improve relations with china which is russia's strategic partner but times are changing and some of the global economic centers are now shifting towards asia and many analysts say this is maybe a good time for talk you have to start looking at changing its foreign policy to improve relations in its neighborhood which would only be greeted with applause by

the japanese public which has really become tired of all these ongoing unresolved problems and also after the fukushima disaster japan shut down most of its nuclear reactors and is really hungry for energy right now which is yet another reason to improve ties with moscow. well washington is diligently weaving some more web regulations government gets its way into the providers could be threatened with very compounding fines if the debtor refuse calls to wiretap their clients want that on t. dot com. and ukraine marks the twenty seventh anniversary of the world's worst nuclear plant accident you know in vision section pictures reports of the tragedy.

five car blasts have killed at least eighteen people in shia dominated provinces in southern iraq countries experiencing its most severe spate of sectarian attacks since the us occupation tensions mounted after a deadly army radio city anti-government protest camp last week one hundred seventy have died in recent ashes the shia led government has also banned ten t.v. channels including al-jazeera reporting inside the country saying inciting sectarian rest the cage and tsunami aid organization s.o.s. iraq says the latest spike in violence is more than just a religious standoff. after ten years of occupation because we consider distil an occupation there is still no basic services people are randomly arrested they are locked up without charges they are door church women children and men are

being raped that's why the protests started by the way and. this talk about sectarianism this is totally wrong and these are not sectarian protests these are protests against a situation that is untenable for the iraqi people. there is poverty there is unemployment there is no health care that if. you get a cage system has collapsed the media has been very weak until we covering these protests have we seen images on television about the millions who were in the streets in ramadi fallujah. mosul no we haven't because this acute of the forces didn't want them to go to these places. turkey may be another step closer to peace with kurdish militants stoneworkers participated with drew the limits from turkish pitcher next week. at ending point woods ending the thirty it's claimed forty thousand lives as mary for national reports there is still distrust

on both sides which is making a peace deal shaky. three of these men sons are in the ranks of the p.k. k. want to get real a movement trying to turkey's military for the rights of kurds and in almost thirty years of armed struggle thousands on both sides have died. younger son and man them and one of no one would go into the mountains without a reason voluntarily sacrifice a warm and comfortable life for a disturbing existence on the run of in a harsh mountainous environment turkey treats the kurds with no respect we had to stand out on a milestone agreement between the turkish government and the p.k. k. includes a cease fire fighters would have to lay down arms and give up their struggle but that won't necessarily mean families are united they can do mountains in iraqi kurdistan away pick a fight as a base for a great natural fortress and install to little hands anyway in these mountains the

fighters are hiding know how many they are and it is to these safe haven that those of them now fighting in turkey will most likely withdraw too if the peace process lives up to expectations. turkey's prime minister and on who has been personally negotiating with jailed kurdish leader or john says it would be sabotage if those retreating take their weapons with them but one former p.k. came second and current kurdish national congress member believes this is exactly what will happen but as i. always called for a kurd fighters they have more weapons and they'll never give them up easily or ever leave them on turkish territory. the reason is not only get real principles a member of the only pro kurdish party in the turkish parliament told me that while everyone types for the past they're preparing for the worst from the other side actually there is no food trust from kurdish sites to government. because we have

very bad experiences since establishments of torture public up to now a massacre on rights violations denial and amazing they say that many other bad things have happened to us the ruling a k party which is the driving force of talks with the p k k and or john wants everyone to show just a little more optimistic on an issue which has been the result of losing over thirty thousand lives in this country will come to it and i think that is more important than how it is who it is who is who is going to brief i think those are the many do actually share some hope although perhaps even more worry that in these details lies the devil reef nationality from turkey. now for a round up of some other international news now powerful blasters passes for the building in central prague one person is thought to be held with dozens more injured several others are believed to be trapped under the deadly police say the

explosion in the fire that followed were only caused by a gas leak running out windows and nearby buildings. firefighters have managed to put out the blaze. after hours of bangladeshi garment workers are demanding the death penalty for the owner of a tower block but last killing at least three hundred eighty one of their colleagues demonstrators have also voiced their anger over for safety conditions in garment factories of course the country called say a number of vehicles have been torched by demonstrators including underlings these used rubber bullets and tear gas to bring the rest under control. libyan foreign ministry in tripoli has been surrounded by up to two hundred militants demanding that syria posts in the new administration are not given to members of the former gadhafi regime officials that are gay she is with the group began actions tried unsuccessfully to storm the interior ministry and the state news agency on sunday. fifteen thousand jobs have been struck off in

greece the mass public sector layoffs starting immediately this was the reaction this parliament signed away the jobs together with an extension of taxes it's all a part of the effort to push through e.u. and i.m.f. mandated austerity in return for a bailout cash at the eurozone the tide is turning on the austerity architects germany french president francois lowndes party spot a diplomatic gaffe by describing german chancellor angela merkel as selfish and draft document on european policy party officials have since said soften it in an investment advisor patrick young says it highlights a growing rift between the euro zone's two big hitters. for sure it's tearing up part the fundamental fabric of the european union at the moment and that is between the northern european nations led by germany who are seen to be fiscally signed and pragmatic and sensible of what their economies and then you hope to restore the

country and come closer to the mediterranean and their lead effectively by france i mean france likes to think that it's still a first world economy but the difficult years their numbers really aren't dramatically better than some of the feeling economies of the mediterranean such as say if. you look at french eleven a situation where they're desperate to do anything and basically move us back to the sixty's or seventy's level over the last decade they want to and that lift the economy by spending a lot of money that france doesn't however they're hoping germany is going to give them and mrs merkel says no all the slash and burn economic policies of the greek government are taking a heavy toll now everywhere in the country many people are leaving the cities for the greener pastures about explains why. the young man from the sea theodorus is in his forty's but what he used to make his living at a newspaper in greece's second seat on a commune he's now returned to his roots on the northern greek coast is theodorus

his fresh fish shop he took it over when his uncle retired two years ago and now clear doris is making a go of it himself far away from the big city. his decision is part of the trend greeks unable to make ends meet in the cities looking to areas with smaller economies and costs but. the company i work for cut our salaries so i decided to come here to find a better life for my children and me it has cost us also gave up a life in athens to open a guest house in the hills of northern greece the life of the city advertising manager was good he said but people should think before writing off the world outside. and that there you go there are many opportunities for you to make your life better in a small town rather than afternoons. and the potential reverse brain drain from cities back to the regions could hold hidden benefits being educated and hip with

the experience of cuban working in the areas and all the experience of the money gives living in the city lives i mean these are these people be. my pill to do the countryside to develop not that everyone relishes the prospect demetrius moved away when he was eighteen and is now a freshly out of work t.v. director he finds adjusting to life back here difficult he wanted to stay in the capital in a piece for free i was forced to come back here because of the high rates of unemployment in athens it was a matter of survival for me for these three greeks as for increasing multitudes of others this move choice or not is a path away from unsustainable living in cities hit by economic crisis here at least if they have less new arrivals or old home commas have the scenery and the see tom bottom r.t. . well next the syrian refugees who found

a new refuge in this something the russian republic and in a few minutes stay with us. most people in the western world would agree that having laws that officially creates second class citizens is totally unacceptable we can look at the way jews were treated in nazi germany or blackstar in apartheid in south africa and the slavery jim crow airs in the usa as examples of legally dividing society by necessity i think most people in the e.u. with their modern sensibilities would find these practices be bob barrack and backwards but my question is that why is there to this day officially sanctioned second class citizens in certain e.u.

countries or to be more accurate i should say non-citizen residents of the two million people in latvia around three hundred thousand of them are considered non-citizen residents who can neither vote nor hold public office these non-citizens are russian speakers of various ethnic backgrounds whose children also by birth bear the non-citizen status not happy being on the bad side of e.u. apartheid the non-citizens have a larger glee doesn't vote for their own parliament because they can't elect to participate in the left field what even if the parliament has no power whatsoever it will be their chance to shine a light on the issue which the mainstream media has been keeping quiet for years you know you'd think that people would be outraged over segregation but what happens to russians and russian speakers is just not cool or hip or trendy or convenient enough for the mainstream media to take notice but that's just my opinion.
