minister has survived a bomb blast targeting his convoy in the capital is thought ten people died thirteen others were wounded in the explosion which happened is a district his local correspondent. with the very latest now from damascus. last took place today and nine o'clock it targeted the prime minister's convoy in their area of eastern and western i.c. it was a bomb that was attached to a b.m.w. a black that was parked two days ago in their way where the convoy usually goes from his house to his office usually the convoy goes from different routes every day but this time he. was this way and intentionally. placed lead to death killing off one of his but because that place took place near . the school and thanks god this happened when were the children went inside so what only two of them were injured 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 group usually doesn't this and how they usually do that bombing or the bombing is raising questions about rebel tactics the editor of politics first magazine told us how likely it is that western aid is ending up in the hands of terrorists. the fact that civilians have been killed as well demonstrates just well the nature of the free syrian army that they're quite prepared to kill not only the syrian prime minister but also 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 well let's just have a look at the this is the so-called free syrian army they've made it the various groups that make up the free syrian army have made it very clear that their

ideology is islam islam they wish to replace the secular progressive states that is syria which should we look for and many of these groups are linked to al qaida for example the illness or fronts so the fact that western governments led by and principally by the united states has been has been send in the hundreds of millions of dollars so the so-called free syrian army really has 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 or western intentions in syria come up in today's crosstalk that we're into the valley to today what's behind that president obama's red line in the syrian conflict could nato countries break the civil war deadlock. the thing. is.

there appear to be more questions than answers there's the boston bombing investigation continues one suspect dead in the other in custody online and media frenzy is in overdrive and speculation is rife among theories is that the older brother. was killed by police after being captured is not a geisha is shared by the suspects mother who cited inconsistences in police reports and footage from the manhunt for another suspicion that's triggered online disputes is that the whole thing was staged allegedly backed up by pictures from the blast site when you revelations are also emerging but not from the usa or russia as we are with the very latest details. speculation continuous regarding where exactly the elder brother at the middle on saturday night became so interested in radical islam in russia's north caucasus during his six month visit or in the united states where he lived for over a decade if 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 really 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 a strong suspicions that the authority this 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 let's wait 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 george. jo 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 investigators are also convinced such an attack could not have been carried out without special training the list of suspects keeps growing as investigation continues details of that and much more dot com. a russian born couple of battling the u.s. courts for the return of the five month old son the baby was seized last week by child protective services or to spend a night in heart surgery while waiting for

a second doctor's opinion a mix in on the hello from thomas about the part. of been shocked when they walked in the 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 with 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 he's in them urgency that he's almost dying then needs medical treatment and that he needs that 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 normal baby to go home and he was released from the from the other hospital 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 of 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 did they give you any reason why they closed 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 sighed 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 open 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 babe it's not the if you're just feeling empty there's some missing something in you're 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 home woodsmen says he's across the case will provide support to the parents talk to a lawyer in the u.s. who believes the government has a head start of the nikolai 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 didn't. appreciate the opinions 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 at the time was that they'd gone to a second hospital and its 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 faith and confidence and. sort of caught of killed nineteen people in southern iraq sham problems this late in the program we take

the international airport in the very heart of moscow. by now as china's clout in east asia rapidly grows japan is looking to warm its times 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 the fukushima nuclear disaster well

the details it's live now to go fishing off for you russia japan relations have been at the best reason they have they said how important all these meetings. well one of the biggest outcomes of this meeting is that both russia's president and the japanese prime minister said that they're very keen on speeding up the signing of the peace treaty in fact prime minister abbott said it's quite unusual that it still hasn't been signed you know almost seventy years of passed since the end of the second world war and mainly it's because of the ongoing territorial dispute around the south coral islands and sure the relationship between russia and japan is quite complicated but if you look at talk u.s. relations with other regional players there is often just as complicated if not more especially when it comes to. with china there's an even bigger territorial dispute which is almost reached the stage of full scale military confrontation then there's japan's. with the u.s. which includes washington growing military presence in the region including troops

bases joint drills and so on and all of that is definitely not helping improve ties which i know which is russia's strategic point and basically for the past a few decades it was japan and the u.s. on one side and china and russia on the other side but times are changing and global financial centers are now shifting towards asia and many analysts are saying that talk with him to change its foreign policy to improve relations in the neighborhood including you question which would only be greeted by applause by the japanese public where many people have really grown tired of having all these problems stacking up throughout the years and also after the fukushima disaster and shut down most of its nuclear reactors and it's clearly very hungry for energy and according to russia's president vladimir putin's russia is really to satisfy this hunger. this kind of life from moscow thanks for that update.

washington is definitely weaving some more regulation if the government gets its way internet providers could be threatened to sue a very pounding families if they dare to refuse calls to wiretap their clients on that r.t. dot com. and ukraine marks the twenty seventh anniversary of the world's worst nuclear plant accident you know in vision section we have pictures reports of the tragic. five car blasts have killed at least eighteen people in dominated provinces in southern iraq the country's parenting its most severe spate of sit in the u.s. occupation tensions mounted after a deadly army raid on

a sunni anti-government protest camp last week over one hundred seventy have died in recent clashes the shia led government has also banned ten t.v. channels including al-jazeera from reporting inside the country saying they were inciting sectarian armrest joining us live now is iraq human rights campaigner. thanks for joining us here on r.t. around two hundred people dead in sectarian violence in the last week alone why is the government there struggling to maintain security. because the government actually carries state terrorism itself that is the reason. can you imagine what would you call attacking people who are peaceful sleeping at night attacking them and killing them and torturing them what would you call that wouldn't that be called state terrorism this is evidenced by the statement made by the minister of education who has just resigned because of this massacre as well as by

a statement on television by one of the sudras m.p.'s last night dr madurese stating that these people were peaceful were not wanted were not terrorists what would you call that wouldn't you call that state terrorism if that's the case then do you think this is going to spill over into civil war. no it will not spill into civil war this government was brought in. the iraqis consider it as an occupation government it carries out what it's monsters say it was brought in by the americans with a group in agreement with iran and iran is now backing it completely i think that there is now a complete interest between the americans and the iranians two days ago the deputy of the rain and revolutionary forces entered that he was with us they thought that their people were with the swat team that attacked we attacked the. protesters he

admitted that there's a lot of evidence coming out the government is involved in this but we will not allow it to go into a civil war literally because we do not have sectarian strife like we have been living together peacefully for hundreds of years ok there but there you know as i want to sort things out really are skewed and you mention the u.s. the u.s. would say got rid of saddam hussein. and was also know that a lot of saddam hussein was off to representation by campaigners like yourself saying that there was a lack of human rights so how can you can play now. i'll tell you something these people were not containers for human rights they were all sitting outside for four years for tens of years plotting against iraq when the americans of the iranians to invade iraq they actually brought in a constitution that split the the the mosaic of iraq to try to split the mosaic of

iraq this is what happened and the americans were forced out basically a certain extent most of their troops were taken out as a result of the resistance that force them now they're sitting on their bases and they're watching what is happening why not you divide and you rule ok that's the past what's the future going to be the future is that this government has to go it has and a new constitution has to be written there are enough constitutional lawyers in iraq to be able to write a national. constitution a patriotic constitution without it being having written by by an american who thinking in the states and translated into arabic by british translators believe it or not ok now if i just go back to something a recent developments iraq has suspended the licenses of ten regional television networks saying they promote sectarian conflict isn't really there for them and they're just reporting on what's happening on the. no i tell you if you watch it is

not their fault it does they do not encourage sectarian conflict if you look at the . channel stations that are financed by the government they are all every day twenty four hours a day. incite sectarian conflict you should listen to them they don't want anybody reporting about the situation as it is on the ground. thank you very much for joining us here live in r.t. today. thank you. for roundup of some other international news at this hour. powerful blast partially destroyed a building in central iraq one person has been killed dozens more injured several others are believed to be trapped under the debris they say the explosion the father followed were probably caused by gas leak running out windows in nearby buildings of marriage though to place.
