economically and strategically later on. a very warm welcome to you if you've just joined us here on our team when live from moscow and you're with me to bang with a. russia's security forces say they have killed a key deputy of the country's most wanted terrorists during a special operation in the north caucasus aren't his he got a piece going off has the details bandito operation took place in a residential neighborhood. in the caucasus police blocked a private house suspected militants was riding the refused to surrender only a woman accompanied by a child came out she's believed to be the wife of one of the armed men and shortly

after she did they opened fire and were eliminated now soon after the operation ended the investigators found out that one of the militants was the right hand men the number one terrorist. responsibility for various terror attacks across russia including the two moscow metro blasts and the attack on the airport and to the operation continues a set of successful efforts in russia since just announced that before a plan to attack moscow by a group of terrorists now all this adds up to the visit of the head of russia's security council who's now in the united states and does have some useful experience he could share with american counterparts when it comes to tackling terrorism since international terror is one of the mean mutual threats that russia and the united states share his visit does come shortly after the recent terror attack in boston which was

a planned and conducted by the time my brother's before the war. while the caucasus for russia is one of the most volatile region since just on monday four people were killed in the southern republic. in two car bomb explosions now surely the country's security services do have a lot to talk about lots of spheres where they can work together following the direct orders of the presidents of both russia and the u.s. for the security services to intensify cooperation. now professor alexander dolmen says that in the wake of the boston bombing the u.s. stance on global terrorism needs to change. the preparations for the visit began long before the. attack. but it was same time of course it should be a kind of a counterpoint during these negotiations because the main message that should convey to you is that where in the same boat. we need to do something about it to

my american friends you need to stop providing the status of refugees the chechen terrorists you need to disband the so called american committee for peace in chechnya which is now action is called american committed for peace in the caucasus as you can see those people who were killing the russians they start killing americans unfortunately in the last several decades the position of the united states was so different from the position of russia regard and regard in the caucasus regarding the overall disintegration of the russian federation i believe it paradoxically is a boston attack and they have a kind of a healing psychological effect on the american society american government. three and a half months into the guantanamo hunger strike and the u.s. military running the facility and the fresh pressure to close the camp on a tour as international group of had to vist known as anonymous have threatened to

disrupt prison activity was in the authority to shut down wireless internet access as a precaution most of the one hundred sixty six detainees at guantanamo lost dubbing themselves in protest at indefinite detention without charge artie's marina one of the captives lawyers. thirty five year old detainee all week was reportedly shot several times by get more guard last month his attorney ramsey kos on joins me now to speak exclusively to r.t. about what happened mr costin thank you for your time. when it was your client shot and what were the circumstances of the ship on saturday april thirteenth of this year the bottom of the military prison at the station decided to rape and six the prison facility at guantanamo pipeline trollies misleading conduct a direct order to move all the prisoners to solitary confinement and that was just one additional way that the prison the station wanted to try to break the hunger

strike what happened on that day according to mr allawi is that in the process he was shot without any warning for absolutely no good reason by one of the u.s. army guards had dangerously close range using rubber coated steel pellets that are only safely used outside of a certain range he was shot in five places one shot was around the heart another shot was in his elbow another was in his shoulder and there were a couple of impact on the size particularly the shot that went to his heart the dark horse of range even a rubber coated steel pellet can penetrate skin and can be fatal the authorities at guantanamo endangered mr always life for no reason they gave him no warning they fired on him repeatedly and then following that fact they delayed the medical team . that he should have received immediately as the u.s. government acknowledged that this shooting did take place absolutely and i received confirmation in writing by an e-mail from the department of justice that mr all he

was sustained what they described as minor injuries but then when i heard the description from mr all we solved it was very different from what i saw on the governments and we also received confirmation in writing from the u.s. government via e-mail that he was being force fed. that is a violation of international law fact that it is done in an unnecessarily painful and brutal way that does that prisoners are strapped down to these restraint chairs that they have to force down their nose into their stomachs there are many other ways to to feed prisoners even if those prisoners wish to be true. and the u.s. government is again doing it in a deliberately filing way in order to break the hunger strikes the only official who is responsible for the existence of guantanamo today as far as i'm concerned as far as my clients are concerned is president obama himself he needs to take concrete steps towards closing the prison and i don't believe the man i want to animal will interrupt their hunger strike unless president obama takes such concrete steps and one very obvious concrete step you can take is to begin by

releasing some prisoners who are food for transfer who can be repatriated or resettled in another country like another one of my clients shakur aamer who's been approved for transfer for years the u.k. has been asking for his release that's the united states' oldest and most trustworthy ally he is a very natural source that the president is serious about closing guantanamo we need actions we need deeds not words mr president thank you very much for your time and really thank you. as the hunger strike continues well past one hundred days since it began we full comprehensive coverage of events as they unfolded on our website to head to our dot com for the raw between u.s. officials and detainees lawyers as well as testimonies from former guantanamo inmates. released the july which. programs and documentaries in arabic it's. the teachings of the world talks of your peace. treaty story tell you.

the arabic for me visit our big. city protest leaders in iraq are demanding autonomy from baghdad according to reports on the country state media meanwhile a fresh surge of nationwide sectarian violence has left at least twelve people did the country has been in the grip of the worst sunni and shia to attack since the two thousand and three us led military intervention here it is tell us more. take us through why and what's fueling this ongoing violence well basically it goes all the way back to the very sort of the beginning of a you have to understand there's two major factions within the religion and those of the shoot the sunni and the shia and they have been fighting for centuries so we've had it's not something new that has appeared but in iraq in particular it has gotten a lot worse ever since the visions you have said and in fact there is there people

are so the experts are saying that. actually it's been going great it's going it's growing worse with every single year in fact the u.n. mission for iraq has estimated that just this past april was the worst month in terms of deadly attacks in iraq since two thousand and eight if you look at the numbers there are truly staggering in a very frightening way. in april alone more than seven hundred people were killed sixteen hundred were injured or you can see that for for the for the four months the first four months of the year more than two hundred people have been dying every single month and just this week alone just on monday thirty people were killed those bombs were exploding this was it was the sunni is targeting the shia. neighborhoods in the major towns of the major cities of ago. of course but usually sometimes it's the other way around of course the sunni's in this year's arts are using each other and of course the situation is this frustration and the

tension is stemming from the fact that there is quite a distinct nation nationwide breakdown if you were to look at the map you could see that there are some provinces right there will be colored kind of mustard yellow there are primarily sunni and the sunni tribal leaders are saying we want autonomy we want independence from the shia government who they believe are persecuting them so the prime minister nouri al maliki is apparently agreeing to think about possibly providing that autonomy to the sunni provinces but he says of course it has to be done in a in a legally binding in a proper manner and that means more time and while the time is is taken by the authorities to examine whether or not they can give the autonomy to the regions we could be looking at a lot more blood being spilled in iraq and we also have to understand that iraq today is what syria could be tomorrow because the two countries of course are very much alike in that they have. these two religious point of this to do religious majorities you can say and of course there is a lot of competition rules of

a lot of anger between them and in fact you have to understand that the conflict in syria at this point is primarily a religious one and not so much political well. they're taking us through what's fueling this ongoing violence spill over in iraq by the middle east analyst chris the bambery says a splitting up iraq along think tarion lines would only lead to more violence which is increasingly spilling across borders in the region. iraq has been a unified country for a long time and yet doing so based on the same terry and head count by dividing the country out particularly by excluding the sunnis from having any control of the oil fields was a recipe for state to conflict and that's what we've seen but was adding spice that is the question of what's happening across the border in syria because we are seeing an alliance between al qaeda elements in syria and sunni sophos in iraq

they've united and it could involve these are times i think anyone in iraq must be terrified of the situation in syria is spilling over into iraq and indeed across the region we're seeing the possibility of further tension the possibility of that spilling over into lebanon so this sectarian violence which is terrible in iraq is now becoming very intertwined with what's going on in syria with them with an open border between the two countries there and even if they were granted that's one of the inside inside iraq they're going to use that as a continuation for carrying out those same turning killings and as i say that will spoil it all and by what is happening in syria which is increasingly a sectarian conflict so no mansour is it will not stop the sectarian killings i think unfortunately the only way likely to get worse. in just a few minutes we look at don't want to upset the normal peace and quiet for a nobel peace prize ceremony host city of starcom which for one might be turned

thanks for staying with us here watching our team journalists and free speech activists in the u.s. ranting on the justice department's probe into a fox news reporter the government's paul james rosen's phones logs personal e-mails and security badge records over an alleged conspiracy rosen all charged

with any crime but there's a deep suspicion that national security is now a pretext to keep america's reporters on a tight leash just last week it was revealed the u.s. government tapped the phone records of a.p. journalists these events exposing the fine line between the demands of media freedom and those of statehood so i'm a grandmother from wide awake news told our tucson thomas that journalists are paying the price for going beyond official sources if you're talking about restoring these insulation this is critical so it's three hundred parkins just says he thinks it can be reported this shouldn't beat the jury with laughter the jury was to do use jock and not the intersect is dysfunctional government it's all in the search planes now the government is investigating reporters in the hopes of finding leaks within its own ranks and you kind of touched on this just a second ago why do you think it has chosen this approach rather than looking for the source of the actually to scare the hell out of the body who dares to stand up

to the party well into the agenda large and this isn't just the building industry should it's the previous administration it will be the next administration it's controlled totalitarian trevenna go government it should reset its nose and it's going to continue to run free of the people this country. and staying with the us the search for survivors continues in the suburbs of oklahoma city devastated by one of the deadliest tornadoes anya's a massive cycler tore through a residential area leaving calles in its wake. the local media exam medical examiner's office has revised the initial number of data down from fifty one to at least twenty four some of the victims are schoolchildren but at the figures are still expected to rise as rescuers continue to sift through the rubble president obama declared the area

a disaster zone aliant me uncle smith who's involved in tackling the aftermath of the fukushima tragedy says politics needs to be taken out of the aid work and prevention measures. i used to live near kansas and so i know you know the seriousness of tornadoes i've been one very close to one but i cannot imagine what hardships they are going through in pain we have to be very careful and consider you know any kind of warning system should be completely not political you know the words it has to be on the best scientific knowledge that is the way to protect the people as much as possible but a lot of times these decisions are political about what kind of warnings to shoot or what kind of preparation to make and that's absolutely not excusable i don't know what the case is in oklahoma but i know that that's for sure in japan what

happened and trying to reestablish your life back where where you were located before i mean rebuilding complete cities towns villages is just incredibly difficult and it's just so much hardship and to increase that hardship because of poor political decisions is just inexcusable. we're keeping you updated on the tornado tragedy in the american midwest on the air and online with the latest footage photos and i would miss icons from the scene at our team dot com. sweden could be paying a tough prize for his policies on immigrants and multiculturalism. opted into violence for a few hours as crowds of the angry mobs news from migrant families burned cars and smash windows and whole stories at police offices was believed to have filled the

ride was the death of a sixty nine year old men allegedly shot by police in the area last week of the chairman of sweden's national democrats planted told r.t. this new trouble highlights old policy flaws. this is fairly new to to sweden. and this is a clear consequence of this multiculturalism politics that sweden adopted around the eighties and increased it in the ninety's and now we are seeing these problems but these politics is not working and we have seen this this is not a unique one single occasion we have seen this in gotham bergen several times and even in the city where i'm elected councillor inside italian rule not have this ethnical based riots against swedish authorities i think that sweden has been trying harder than any of the country in europe to try to push for integration where we invested billions into it and taxpayers' money were tried everything that

that the scientists have passed presented and still is not working the problem that they did the core here is that these people they don't identify themselves with this with the society or swedes and it's clearly not working it's not working this really is not working in france or in the united states there is and i think we'll see more of this if we don't change the politics. in the future. one man keeping a distance of from sweden is world famous whistleblower julian assange she has disclosed a link to u.k. intelligence message the colder temps are extraditing to straiten on charges of sex abuse and the stories that r.t. dot com. plus the u.s. military could lose a key logistical hub on routed to afghanistan if a newly drafted bill gets the backing of the us government we report online. well more than

a billion people in egypt expect china and india to carry some clouds or imagine what they could do by joining up they've agreed to a hundred billion dollar bilateral trade target for twenty fifteen artes and reform a explains what's driving them. along with russia india and china are leading members of the brics economies amberley greater cooperation could be hugely beneficial to them both not just in terms of increasing their financial clout worldwide but also their political muscle too and here's why the sheer size of their combined population means they have a huge consumer market a staggering two point seven billion people live in these two countries that is a third of the world's population what's more there's plenty of room for future economic growth this is a pivotal possibility for the future of it as a region if you look at the overall trade that's been going on it's a very interesting story you know nine hundred ninety one they start liberalizing

the indian economy all of their all of their perspective looked west for business with china came along and liberalized somewhat later they've changed the rules of the game they know it can look around that neighborhood and also look east in order to develop a greater amount of business and therefore through trade we're going to see a very strong axis being built by these two nations because at the moment trib is not considerable between them. and statistics underline the point over the last decade and a half bilateral trade between them has jumped from three billion dollars a year to seventy four billion by two thousand and fifteen china and india hope the figure could top one hundred billion at the moment they largely sell resource based products to each other china for example exports iron and steel while emirate in india trades copper and cotton but there are new areas developing the growth of

india's i.t. and software industry is rapid as is china's manufacturing and textile sectors and both provide a market for each other's goods analysts say could be a match made in heaven delhi has the high tech know how well beijing provides the manufacturing might the only obstacle see growth it seems a political one to both countries still involved in border disputes although their leaders say they intend to work towards a settlement and that could unlock a vast economic boom in this part of the world. international affairs analyst us sriram child yes as a beijing and new delhi of all it takes to make a good business. president xi jinping chose russia for his first foreign visit after assuming office and premier li kitchen has chosen india for the first foreign visit so it does show that for the chinese the greeks formation is very critical in india also we take it seriously and interpret street has been growing into tremendous space and if you are trying to trade for

a victory to reach up to one hundred billion dollars in the next couple of years so that's a very ambitious target of increasing it always with forty percent and if they are cheap it it's going to benefit the rest of the brics countries in so far as it's already creating momentum because india and china are obviously the two major economies in the brics formation and there is an effort on the part of india to attract chinese investment especially in our infrastructure sector so the growth edge and of these two missions which is what is making them so important in the world is very connected to truly investment strategies and that for i think the chinese premier means when he says that this is going to this partnership if we can iron out some of the i'm comfortable aspects of it it will turn out to be of invent competition. now to other international news the highly debated bill to meet the

life same sex marriage in the u.k. has been polished by the lower house of parliament but one hundred sixty one m.p.'s including members of the prime minister's conservative party said no to the government's plan it's been a flagship pleasure for david cameron despite here for opposition from fellow tories and still has to get through the house of lords before it can become law there's been criticism that there is here is distracting west minister from my heap of other problems the british government facing. legalizing same sex. ridge has segin a dramatic and tragic turn out across the channel in france and elderly award winning historian has shot himself did at the main altar of notre dame cathedral in paris the seventy eight year old had been involved in an intense campaign against france's decision to allow gay marriage and had earlier written a damning critique on his block. a police

vehicle has struck a roadside bomb in western afghanistan that has left a six a local officers dead it's not clear who's behind the attack but it came during the taliban's annual spring offensive the reason all breaks of violence are being seen as a test for afghan security forces i heard of u.s. troops withdrawal next year. when we come back it's the man who'll tell you the thing the old banker wanted the kind that reports. although i was born after the vietnam era i remember t.v. discussions about that buddhist monk who burned himself to death as a form of protest the commentators on the news said that people there just have a different mindset that westerners could never understand you know which is

probably true but they were implying that people in the west are just different and would never use this absolutely extreme form of protest which is also probably true until just recently with the cost of electricity exceeding the income of the average ball garion and a new government coming to power that looks exactly like the old government that collapsed at least six ball gary and have used self-immolation as a very desperate and extreme form of protest but why kristen ghodsee a professor at bowdoin college who has extensively talked to bulgaria protesters claims that those who self-immolating are just incredibly desperate and cannot feed their own children and the people are actually becoming the for communism because at least that system at the people's basic needs the current democratic system from the populace perspective according to her just cycles through a few new crooks every few years although it does get media attention and you may be feeling desperate suicide is never an answer the more living bulgarians the better bulgaria's chances believe me but that's just my opinion.
