tonight and our top stories are as you just heard series prime minister survived a bomb blast today targeting his convoy in the capital it's thought ten people died and thirteen others were wounded in the explosion which happened in a busy district is local correspondent dilip my was eenie with the latest from damascus. the blast took place today in nine o'clock targeted the prime minister's convoy in their area of eastern as western i see it was a bomb that was dashed to b.m.w. a black that was parked two days ago in the way where the com for 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. led to death killing off when you know his body could that place took place near can the garden and the school thanks god this happened when when the children went inside so what only two of them were injured this list as it's it's and it's sticky

and it's way it's very close to what's usually shabbat and most of which is a bottle that. usually does and the mask is and how how they usually do that bombing. will be following the latest from syria over the course leaving those details coming in now and unconfirmed reports is developing news story this the russian passenger playing jet has been targeted with two missiles from syrian territory another pilots are said to have maneuvered the plane with two hundred people on board of the time so the missiles exploded midair getting up from two sources in moscow allegedly got their information from syria so we're trying to get clarification on that once again unconfirmed reports a russian passenger jet with two hundred on board has been targeted by two missiles from syrian territory versus a still to be clarified meanwhile questions are increasingly being raised about the syrian rebels tactics the editor of politics first magazine told us today is bombing in damascus shows western aid is likely ending up in the hands of

terrorists. the fact that civilians have been killed as well demonstrates just as the heinous 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 fact 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 is the ism they wish to look place the secular progressive states that is syria which should be and many of these groups are linked to al qaida for example the al nusra front so the fact that western governments led by and principally by the united states has been has been sent in hundreds of millions of

dollars so 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 western intentions in syria came up in today's crosstalk as well with people over at seven thirty pm g.m. what's behind president obama's red line in the syrian conflict and could nato countries break the civil war deadlock all that explored. is. there appear to be more questions than answers is the boston bombing investigation continues with one suspect dead and the other in custody still an on line a media frenzy is in overdrive and speculation is rife among the theories is that the elder brother tamela and sort of naive was killed by police. after being

captured and that's not a geisha shared by the suspect's mother who cited inconsistences and police reports and footage from the manhunt and there's another suspicion too that triggered online disputes and that's the whole thing was staged allegedly backed up by pictures from the blast site well new revelations are also emerging too but not from the u.s. or russia has been a caution of with more details. speculation continues regarding where exactly the elder brother to meddle 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 the theory of possible a third country being involved is no circulating in the media and that third country is georgia which tomorrow 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 was 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 even if she really believes that there are strong suspicions that the authority has 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 events will only be 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 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 saakashvili 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. we will be following up u.s. investigators are also are convinced such an attack could not have been carried out without special training the list of suspects keeps growing as the investigation continues details of much more of that as well that dot com a website. campolo

buckling the u.s. court for the return of the five month old son the baby was seized last week but child protective services offered parents tonight him heart surgery while waiting for a second doctor's opinion on a new told r.t. thomas about their plight. 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 so ever they've been providing an awful door reason given call from a you took your child to another hospital for a second opinion i mean have they given no reason whatsoever. they say that his and them urgency that he's almost dying during the needs medical treatment and that he needs that needs to get back to hospital if. you do believe this. no he was fine he was laughing he was eating he was a normal child a normal baby to home and he was released from the from the other hospital that we do came to the doctor release to be. a statement so the parents are basically good to go home would there be to be safe and. 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 a 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 added to that i 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 know as soon 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 have my bit 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 again the hard going home your baby's not the few you're just feeling empty there's some missing something in urine we're just waiting for tomorrow's day just to you know like coming in this court hearing good news taking your baby going home or going to

a different hospital russia's child rights some bushman cities across the case will provide support to the parents we talked to the lawyer in the u.s. believes the government has a head start over they collide a family. provided with medical evidence that said the baby was fine to be taken home and despite that they 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 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 in a different doctor said no 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 wonder 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 had to have their son carried by someone who they had faith in. series of killed at least nineteen people in southern iraq shia provinces in the program we take a look at how the comes. amid the rising number of sectarian attacks since the u.s. . also fifteen thousand state workers aside. just a couple of minutes from. science

is china's clout in east asia rapidly grows japan is looking towards ties with russia as a counterbalance the country's leaders meeting in moscow with big deals on the table to try to fill the energy left in japan of the fukushima nuclear disaster it was 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 even though i mean he was back the end of the second world war and mainly it's because of the ongoing territorial dispute around the south or cool 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 then it's often just complicated if not more especially when it comes to ties 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 should you go us with the us which include not that but we know the presence in the. including troops and bases drawing jewels and so on and all of that is definitely not helping improve ties with china which is russia's strategic partner and basically for the past a few decades they were 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 you mean i'll be looking to change its foreign policy to improve relations in the neighborhood for good by applause by the johnnies public where many people have really grown tired of having all these resolve problems stacking up throughout the year and also after the fukushima disaster and shut down most of its nuclear reactors and it's very hungry for energy to russia's president vladimir putin's russia is really to satisfy the stronger. person off the on line

a sunny anti-government protest camp last week over two hundred died in recent clashes governments also banned ten t.v. channels to including al-jazeera from reporting inside the country saying they incited sectarian unrest some from the organization s.o.s. iraq told me this latest spike in violence is more than just a religious standoff. 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 women raped that's why the protest started by the way and . this talk about sick gary and this is totally wrong with these are not sectarian protests these are protests against a situation that is untenable for a for do you. see the rest unemployment there is no health care that if.

you get a cage system has collapsed in the media has been very weak until we covering these protests have images television about the millions who were in the streets in ramadi fallujah gooks mosul no we haven't because the security forces didn't want them to go to these places turkey may be another step closer to peace with kurdish militants the kurdistan workers' party is preparing to withdraw from turkish territory next week which would be a key turning point towards ending the thirty year conflict this claimed forty thousand lives there's riff notion of the still distrust on both sides which is making the peace deal shaky. three of these men sons are in the ranks of the guerrilla movement trying to turn to military for the rights of kurds almost thirty years of armed struggle thousands on both sides have died google owns youngest son and man them and. no one would go in mountains without a reason they were voluntary secular so warm and comfortable life for

a disturbing existence on the run up in a harsh memes in this environment turkey treats the kurds with no respect we had to stand out a milestone agreement between the turkish woman p.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 basis for a great before it's too late in the girl's hands no one can say exactly where in these mountains the fighters a high don't 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 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. insurgent and current kurdish national congress member believe this is a plan that has knowledge among. 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 and member of the only pro kurdish party in the turkish parliament told me that while every side types for the past they're preparing for the worst from the other side actually there is no food cross from kurdish state to government. because we have very bad experiences since establishments public up to now a massacre from rights violations the denial and i may say that now that bad things have happened to us the ruling a k party which is the driving force of talks with 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 how it is who it is who is who is going to i think know that the many do

actually share some help although perhaps even more worry that in these details lies the dad will brief notion r.t. from turkey rather some other world news stories now internationally the mayor of prague confirmed the blast that rocked the city center and into they was a gas explosion plenty five people including several foreigners were injured in the incident but no deaths have been reported the place sealed off the popular tourist area and evacuated over two hundred people from nearby buildings fearing further ghastly. police have been granted fifteen days to question the owner of the tower block in bangladesh that collapsed and killed at least three hundred eighty one people meantime thousands of garment workers well to demand the death penalty for the and voicing their fury over poor safety conditions in the country's close factories places rubber bullets and tear gas to bring the unrest under control after demonstrators torched several vehicles including an ambulance. fifteen thousand jobs have been struck off in greece with the mass public sector layoffs

starting immediately this was the reaction then as parliament signed away the jobs together with an extension on taxes it's all part of the effort to push do you want to return for a bailout cash for the year or the tides turning on the austerity architects germany french president francois hollande party spot a diplomatic gas by describing german chancellor angela merkel is selfish in a draft document on european policy party officials have said said they will soften their tone but investment advisor patrick young told me it highlights a growing rift between the eurozone too big it is. it sure is 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 seeking to be fiscally sign pragmatic and sensible of what their economy and then you hope to restore their hopes of the mediterranean and their lead affectively 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 village economies of the mediterranean so just say if. you look french you live in a situation where they're desperate to do anything and basically move us back to the engine sixty's or seventy's level of the last ticket they want you in at least the economy by spending a lot of money that france doesn't hour but they're hoping germany is going to give them and mrs merkel says no. well the slash and burn economic policies of the greek government are taking a heavy toll but not everywhere in the country many people are leaving the cities for literally greener pastures told by looking at that side of the story. the young man and the sea theodorus is in his forty's but while he used to make his living at a newspaper in greece his second city thessalonica he's now returned to his roots in the northern greek coast this is theodorus is fresh fish shop he took it over when his uncle retired two years ago and now theodorus is making

a go of it himself far away from the big city. his decision is part of the trip weeks i take ends meet in the cities looking to areas with small recolonise 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 and to open a guest house in the hills of northern greece the life of a city advertising manager was good he said but people should think before writing off the world outside. thing that there you go there are many opportunities for you to make your life better in a small town rather than in athens. and a potential reverse brain drain from cities back to the regions could hold hidden benefits being educated and here with the experience of keeping work in the areas and all the experience of the money gives living in the city lives i mean

these people be. killed when we 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 it difficult he want to stay covered 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 little else new arrivals or old home comers have the scenery and the sea tom bottom r.t. . next to go the story of the syrian refugees who found a new home in a southern russian republic this story then coming up after this break.

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 areas in the usa as examples of legally dividing society by necessity i think most people he you with their modern sensibilities would find these practices to be bob baer american 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 as non-citizens

are russian speakers of various ethnic backgrounds whose children also by birth bearer of the non-citizen status not happy being on the bad side of apartheid the non-citizens have logically decide to vote for their own parliament because they can't elect a party to let feel 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.

i am from. the war in syria i like a war and. just i don't go to see my friends. my name is. i came here because i want for my children.
