austerity. four am in moscow as a good to have you with us here on r t at least eighteen people including a ten year old girl have been injured during a shooting at a mother's day parade in new orleans an f.b.i. spokesman says there is no indication was an attack of have was an act of terrorism or he's got a cheeky and has been covering this story for us and we'll get her update with all the latest events a little later in the show but first we're going to go live to former cia agent glencora with some perspective on this so the f.b.i. is claiming so far that this is not any kind of act of terrorism in fact they're still investigating this whole incident no one's been arrested yet how do you assess the events. i think seeing this they're cleaning may be

a little overstated the case in the states the lack of indication is more modest comments just are but i think if they make sense it doesn't have any of the hallmarks or most operandi of terrorists that i ever worked against you know about the intelligence united states it seems knowing nothing more than media reports to have been either astounding we have a tourist by a terrorist and i don't think that's the case or more likely sir but. while. now washington has been tightening security in general after the boston bombings and i would suppose that local police forces are also picking up on that too do you think though there's anything that actually can be done to really make a dent in the kind of random act that this could be just a person with a gun. well this is one of the terrible problems in american society certainly is

pervasive this is guns and then violence is much more gun violence in the united states than other societies the police and all of the local ups federal are very active and quite confident in their work but as with a hundred million guns around in violent. stuff as i understand it there were ten policemen spread throughout the crowd. the dentist parade i guess you call it as it occurred so the police presence he's been quite. conscious and incompetent. addressing the gun violence is a big issue tonight status now do you think that we are seeing a kind of a surge in violence in the us in recent months or is it just more of a perception of it because of the media saturation when something big happens. i think it's the latter really the statistics show happily a slow long term decline i believe in the number of violent acts committed of all

kinds in the united states over the past fifty years sixty years since world war two the gun violence i think included so that's a long term good news story but media attention given the horrors that happened in boston my hometown actually. i think draws our consciousness to the suspense more i don't think it's a search do you think that. fear that is created then by the coverage of this sort of thing especially in the era of a twenty four hour news cycle which admittedly we're part of here as well but kind of feeds the be so to speak i think there is you know much of this yes. expression jump the shark i think comes from but a dozen years ago when the media were different channels will pick up on the story and start to follow it's all of them together it was sort of a herd mentality to this and that does create the impression among the public that

they are sometimes there's more to a given subject than there need be so this is a dilemma twenty four hour cable television dozens of stations yes i think the trends as the need. for violence in the united states actually are slowing down there's a strong correlation between young male populations examine demographics and violence and there's operations age if you are males. seen that it's all right former cia agent glenn karl thanks very much for your insights my pleasure. joining us and more with some updates from this so what is the latest we have on this investigation. well met new orleans was celebrating mother's day with over three hundred people participating in a parade police say three individuals are believed to be responsible for starting

the shootout up to seventeen people were shot as a result among them a ten year old girl she was treated at a local hospital doctors say she suffered to graze wound which that she's in and in good condition up to four of the wounded are believed to be in critical condition. now this is not the first attack at a public event in recent months. give us more of the background on that please. well matt exactly another public event and other tragedy there is a manhunt underway for the three suspects who police believe have managed to escape one of them is reportedly wounded in the same way as investigators of the boston marathon bombings appealed for crowd sourced photographs new orleans police have urged anyone with any photographs of the parade to step forward so just in boston the police are drawing the public into the manhunt certainly putting nearby neighborhoods on high alert police are going door to door in search for suspects

and of course everyone is hopeful that they will find them but at the same time many are looking at these recent public events which have gone terribly wrong in thinking where the law enforcement can really provide security at outdoor gatherings like could have been early warnings that were missed the perpetrators of this shooting in new orleans we don't know who they are but we do know that in the u.s. there's very little control over in whose hands guns end up guns are freely sold going shows and online and all of this makes people nervous about their safety at public events naturally. live in washington with an update thanks very much. nine people have been detained by turkey in connection with saturday's deadly car bombings there killed forty six people and injured more than one hundred in a town near syria's border with turkey hours after the incident on a rush to place the blame for the attack on syrian intelligence agencies damascus though denying any involvement turkey's foreign minister called upon the

international community to quote act against the assad government our middle east correspondent paula sleeper has more. turkey has blamed the syrian president bashar assad for these bombings without having undergone any kind of investigation what they have said is that syrian intelligence is to quote them the usual suspects now the difficulty turkish prime minister says that the organization and the members behind the attacks have been largely identified but what is worrying is that this does say it's a bad precedent to merely blame assad right away without giving any kind of proof or any kind of conclusive evidence as to why you say that nine people have been detained all of them are turkish citizens according to the turkish deputy prime minister and he has stressed that there be no links to the syrian opposition previously three of the five suspects arrested after the bombings were said to have been the syrian nationals not syria has denied that they are behind the attacks the syrian government issued a statement in which it said that we are saddened by the fall of martyrs in turkey

yesterday in one way or another the turkish people are syrian brothers the turkish prime minister has said that the attack could also be linked to the peace process with the kurds and they of course have for a long time been at odds with the government the north of syria is the region bordering turkey and that's where extremist opposition groups are particularly active what is unclear as of yet is how many of them could have in fact crossed over into turkey now the city where the explosion occurred has received tens of thousands of refugees and it is possible that some of them already core elements there's no proof to say that they are there's no proof to say that they are not of these radical elements all setting up their own infrastructure and there are many groups among them such as the mistrust front and the salafist if you've already done so we have been receiving reports that in aleppo for example there are reportedly some twenty rebel brigades operating and they've set up the machinery of government and justice in the quilter's that they have taken over they've set up

courts for example that all manned by lawyers and judges they've set up schools they say so that they. no vacuum in the administration and public institutions so you certainly do have this very warning phenomena that there is a launch number of extremist elements that are operating particularly along the syrian border jeremy solid a professor of middle east studies at bill ken university thinks the attacks could have been the work of extremists linked to syrian rebels and not the government. we know for a fact because because the main islam is fighting group in syria has admitted it's that al qaida in iraq and. in syria one in the same and all the fighting groups in syria and they're all working tactically with. so al-qaeda is in syria we know that that's not confirmed the smallest been suspected from the stops and so what we're saying now is kind of charge and countercharge. as people try to put the

blame for this on to someone else my conscious mind my feeling about this kind of guess would be that the party responsible that is one of the groups because of anyone has a reason for trying to heat up the situation and dragon. countries it would be them the fact is that the third one is going to washington this week and syria will be on top of the agenda and my feeling is that the take you want to anybody that have obama won't bite if he won't commit america to take a more involved over syria i don't think that turkey will do anything key issue here is what kind of evidence are they going to come up with will they come up with any evidence that's going to convince us that this in fact was an action carried out by the syrian intelligence service so there's a many many unknowns right now and most everything is going to depend on the outcome of the talks in washington but you know obama and. meanwhile united global effort to end the syrian conflict gotten off the ground finally the u.s. and britain and russia have agreed to international peace conference is that could

be held by the end of may there are some diplomatic obstacles about washington and london still considering sending arms to syrian rebels something russia strongly opposes or reports. after months of fiery exchanges on the syrian conflict the major international players russia the united kingdom and the united states have managed to find a common ground principled position has been accused of supporting only one side of the syrian side of the syrian rebels russia has been particularly concerned with the calls across the atlantic to arm the syrian rebels to provide them with military training and even possibly. into the conflict by force also. with statements in the western countries. at the same time the western world has never been saying that it's the syrian people that have to choose their new government they have to choose their new future hardly anyone expected after all of

these. between the u.s. state secretary john kerry and the russian president and the russian foreign minister produced something positive nevertheless international conference which is to be called by the. direct result of the meeting in moscow that a conference is expected to have both the members of the syrian opposition and the syrian government at the same negotiation table at the same time a press conference between the russian foreign minister lavrov and john kerry took an interesting twist when a reporter asked about the bill to support the syrian rebels with weaponry which is now being considered by the u.s. congress the reply from the u.s. state secretary was that if the united states finds substantial proof of chemical weapons were in fact used by bashar assad's troops in syria something which hasn't yet been proven of course then this bill will ultimately become reality which many experts have already described this as

a certain leeway for the united states to still have a certain leverage in the syrian conflict now also on the british prime minister david cameron came to the city of. russia. and the biggest and sego of that meeting was whether david cameron would sing to the same tune as john kerry did in moscow it's no secret that we have had differing views on how best to handle the situation but we share fundamental aims to end the conflict to stop syria fragmenting to let the syrian people choose who governs them and to prevent the growth of violent extremism so i strongly support the conference that mr lavrov for mr kerry agreed this week to deliver a political solution a solution which has a transitional government based on the consent of the syrian people as a whole so clearly the events of the of this week have given us a clear indication that there may be interesting things to come in terms of the syrian conflict and this conference can actually produce something of

a peaceful solution now is shiri factor stands former prime minister's claiming victory in the country's a storage general election which will mark the first transition between two civilian governments this is supporters of his rival imran khan took to the streets to protest the unofficial results the election campaigns been the bloodiest of the country's history with more than one hundred thirty people killed in the last month including dozens on the voting day or he says he has more from islamabad. the threat of violence pakistanis came out in record numbers to vote in the election which will determine the fate of the country for the next five years and as the votes are counted the man poised to come out at the very top is not wash and his party fourteen years after being ousted in a military coup he is on the road to a third term as pakistan's prime minister will have numerous problems to deal with from chronic power cuts to a taliban insurgency will be pushing to create free market economic policies and further strain ties with the united states but the vote has also crushed the hopes

of millions of pakistanis who want to see real change in the entrenched political system they were counting on cricket legend imran khan and his party he had rallied massive support here in the country with calls to end corruption and to end u.s. drone strikes especially among young voters but it wasn't enough to put him at the top still a significant victory for his party now the pakistan people's party which form the outgoing government took a beating in the polls paying a price for being seen as failing to tackle corruption unemployment and violence while in power of course this in many ways is a historic election it's the first time a democratically elected government is replaced with another the first time that a staggering sixty percent of voters turned out but also on a darker note the first election to go down as the bloodiest in pakistan's history now a string of bomb blasts disrupted election day killing dozens of people the violence came on the heels of a bloody intimidation campaign by the pakistani taliban which is claimed one

hundred thirty lives leading up to the vote the group is fighting to topple poppy stone's u.s. backed government which it sees as quote on the islamic now there were also some allegations of voting irregularities and problems in certain areas mainly in caracas new voting will be held at forty two polling centers where officials said elections are free and fair overall however a successful largely successful election here in pakistan we will of course keep you updated. on the latest reporting from islamabad i'm lucy kalpa now. and still to come this hour unfulfilled promises as francoise longs popularity hits new lows are he takes a look at why people say they are so one happy with the french president only a year after his election victory still to come stay with us. the civilized world produces more food than it needs. well people die of hunger in

other countries. millions of victims every year. where a meal is the most treasured. is flood or droughts to blame. and it was a bad year without a train. we couldn't climb anything. but there was great hunger. it was a good help comes too late and with no good intentions. diplomacy and business on up to.

the illusion of safety trumping you're right seems to be the main political theme of post nine eleven america and no one is pushing the keep you safe at any cost more than new york billionaire mayor michael bloomberg who recently had to defend his stop and frisk strategy after giving a speech to police brass stop and frisk is the practice of just being able to search anyone in new york at any time for any reason with your hands this gestapo style practice has been in place since two thousand and two but thankfully was finally recently found to be unconstitutional by a federal judge you know the fourth amendment all the talk about no unlawful search and seizure seems pretty clear to me why did this take so long to figure out bloomberg despite that silly constitution thing stands firm with this policy to occur and if you end street stops looking for guns they will be more guns on the street and more people will be killed it's just that simple well to that i would say if you stop nazi style first kings of random innocent people there will be more

freedom on the streets it's just that simple but that's just my opinion. twenty seven minutes past the hour now portugal's unemployed middle level had a staggering eighteen percent this week with close to half the population of young people now out of work over a ports scores of portuguese are hurrying up to jump ship for jobs and better prospects abroad. leaving home in search of a better future it's not wanting to or outside portugal it's needing to work outside portugal victor is a journalist he's heading off to angola to work for a magazine because there just isn't work in portugal that allows him to support his family he says this is a problem that affects all portuguese society you have. people

united states for the past thirty six years no candidate has entered the white house without winning this swing state while high on doubt italy wields an enormous influence in the arena of u.s. presidential politics the state is currently garnering headlines for its presence specifically the medieval type punishment being imposed on countless citizens who are drowning in debt. according to a report released by the a.c.l.u. of ohio thousands of citizens are illegally being locked behind bars because they are too poor to pay their debt and we saw some really troubling numbers one case that we looked at out of mansfield ohio there is a gentleman and his crime against the community was he let his dog walk in his mobile home park without a leash he was fined thirty dollars and he ended up being found in contempt of court and was sent to jail for not paying for

a thirty dollars fine i'm open to what we're doing is going to change that fifty five year old jack dolly was incarcerated three times for failing to pay nine hundred dollars in fines every ninety days you had a jail date. and if you weren't working well you're going to jail. i don't have a problem all i was working playing on my find that they set me up on a payment program which was reasonable for me but upon losing my job i had no income debt prisons violate the us and. oh hi oh constitutions according to the a.c.l.u. most of the defendants weren't given hearings before being jailed for outstanding fines if the court had taken any time to ask whether or not they couldn't afford to pay that they would see that these were people who just simply cannot pay they were individuals who are homeless many who haven't worked for months if not years people who are disabled people who are taking care of disabled family members these are

people who are working and just don't feel like spending the money these are people who literally have no money people like dante stiles who is unemployed and says he often has to choose between feeding his two children or paying his fines a far more so back and forth back and forth in court back before a concert days here fifteen days here and while the cash strapped citizens are incarcerated in debtors prisons. there are fines keep growing like credit card interest it's described as a vicious circle it was seven hundred thirty thirty seven dollars ok at the eleven days when i went back to court at the court course and paranoid the public defended it went up actually two hundred dollars more than one point eight million ohioans reportedly live in poverty and more than four hundred thousand are unemployed i want to get it behind me dolly lost his job last year after missing work for a ten day sentence in debtors prison i had just started the job i was probably

there not quite a month. i was expecting a paycheck so i'd gone in early to get a paycheck so i could go in and pay on my fine my release was terminated from my job dollie has received just fifty dollars credit for each of the sixteen days he was illegally imprisoned but most like styles have not and the state revered for predicting america's presidents has garnered a new reputation for how it punishes the poor. artsy ohio. and up ahead r. t. takes is he with a.j. jacobs esquire magazine editor at large or restless a man who became a living experiment by filming everything in his life from dusk to dawn take a look. modern russia was built on coal. fields for its factories. coke for

remarkable health ten hours of video esquire magazine editor at large. twelve weeks logging his life i live it sticks in there and it fills whatever you're looking at documenting every second the camera that looks like an oversized bluetooth. this so-called self surveillance seems extreme but in an exclusive interview with jacob says it's only a matter of time before the majority will be living this way a.j. jacobs thank you very much for sitting with r.t. thank you. so for the past fifteen years you've essentially make your life a series of experiments you told me at least twenty five experiments you've conducted. why have you decided or why did you decide to do this well i think it's the best way to learn about something is to become a human guinea pig so if i want to learn about religion i i try to live by the bible if i want to learn about outsourcing i outsource my own life so

that's i feel it's a good way to learn how to improve your life because after the experiment maybe i won't do everything i did during the experiment but i always take away something that makes my life a little better are you capable to live a normal life as a normal human being while you're doing those experiments no it depends on the experiment but sometimes it's quite difficult sometimes it takes over your life and drives my wife crazy let's talk about one of your most recent experiments since the life logging experiment that you conducted for about three months he was sensually were videotaping every minute of your life for us right from them to moment i woke up until the moment i went to sleep i have a little camera in my ear that was videotaping everything and the idea was that our memories are terrible and this was a away where i could actually remember so when i got in an argument with my wife and she said oh you never said that last hour you told me the before i went i could actually say well let's go back to the videotape and see what really happened and

how transparent can a life of a human being get when you're. recording every second of your day well it's a it is a bit of a problem because you know we do things that that are a little embarrassing but i thought this is sort of taking the whole idea of facebook and twitter and taking it to its logical extreme this is what we're going to be doing where all of our lives are going to be on the record so we're all going to be like politicians whatever we say will be recorded are there any destructive you know elements to that oh yeah i think it had some big downsides i mean just the when i went over an argument with my wife you know that was horrible because it was a lose lose because if i was wrong then i was wrong and if she was wrong then she just got angrier so there are problems with it but there are also great things about it you know when i have kids and whatever they did something cute i always

had it on tape but didn't the way that your friends behave with you did their interaction didn't change i mean how do people change when they know that you're videotaping them yes sometimes it's freaked him out so some would you know literally dive under tables to avoid being videotaped but it also had an interesting effect because people act of a little better they you know people didn't want to gossip in front of me so it will be interesting when everyone has these little video cameras which i believe is coming and then i think we'll see maybe the world will be a better place you also describe conducted another experiment called the unit tasking experiment tell me about that well this was because i'm a terrible multi-tasker so when i'm on the phone i'm also you know typing e-mails and watching t.v. and riding my bicycle and you know everything at once but the studies show that's

terrible for you and that is actually not efficient it's the opposite of efficient so the idea was. let me try to do one thing at a time so if i am on the phone that's all i'm doing i actually blindfolded myself so i would concentrate on the phone call and that it was wild because it totally changed my life you know you realize that when you have conversations and you're multitasking there are terrible conversations when you really focus you actually listen to what the person is saying and you respond it's the it's a it's a bizarre concept as technology evolves there's many more distraction i know that are created so what what kind of effect and that have for our society i think it's it's bad i mean the scientists i talked to said it's not a small problem this is the eleventh plague multi-tasking it's making us do.
