is two pm in moscow watching r t with me marina joshie welcome to the program a chechen immigrant killed in the u.s. during questioning over his alleged links with one of the suspects the boston bombers was an armed according to law enforcement officials ever given to dosh if was shot dead by an f.b.i. agent when he allegedly became violent and initial reports claimed he attacked officers with a knife or he's worried or not has more. well the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting of abraham to dosh of have turned even murkier according to the washington post post which cites law enforcement officials the twenty year old chechen immigrant was an armed when he was shot dead during an f.b.i. interrogation last week now federal officials and nationally said that adoption became violent and lunged at an f.b.i. special agent with a knife while he was being questioned about his ties to alleged boston bomber boston marathon bomber. and unsolved two thousand and eleven triple murder that

took place in boston now at the time of the shooting up to half a dozen law enforcement officials including two massachusetts state police troopers and an f.b.i. agent from the agency's boston division were present at the florida condo which was not far from universal studios but the f.b.i. has provided you details after the shooting saying that the matter is being investigated by a specific f.b.i. review team and the f.b.i. may not finish its probe for several months now news is coming out that this man was on arms so where does this leave the initial story that the f.b.i. presented to the public now the f.b.i. meanwhile has been under enormous scrutiny for missing several warnings about tomorrow on the biggest warnings coming from a russian intelligence officials years ago indicating that may have links to extremist groups the f.b.i. for whatever reasons did not follow up and probe the matter to the fullest extent

and that some would say led to the execution of the boston marathon double bombings and now we have this development unfolding where our man that was shot and killed by f.b.i. agents turns out according to the washington post to have been on the arm so clearly the f.b.i. is going to have a lot of. questions to answer in the coming days with these new developments on this story. r.t. has been covering this case and the converse is surrounding it from the outset we've got all the details as well as our interview with the father of the man who was killed on our website r t v dot com. syria has received its first batch of russian and aircraft missiles and that's what president assad told a house of a lot television network statements adding fuel to the tensions over the last three hundred air defense system with the u.s.

slamming russia's actions and israel signaling it would prevent it from becoming operational our disposal years following international escalation over syria. well school says that it will continue to supply defense missiles calling it a balance that is designed to deter foreign intervention inside syria the russian foreign ministry says that it would strain this is to quote the ministry some hotheads from the conflict to the international scale but the united states as expected has condemned the sale while here in israel the israelis are saying that they will act to prevent the three hundred missiles from becoming operational on a syrian soil the israeli defense minister moshe ya'alon says that if the missiles reach syria and to quote him israel will know what to do at the same time controversy continues over the lifting of the e.u. embargo for lethal aid for the rebels inside syria now as we know twenty five countries voted against it only the u.k. and so on to push forward with the german chancellor angela merkel saying that her

country will live or send arms to the militants in syria despite all that's left now in this interview with his t.v. the syrian president bashar assad says that there are around a hundred thousand foreign mercenaries who are fighting on the side of the rebels inside syria he says that his government will not stand in the way of groups who want to fight for the liberation of the going on and he has warned to quote from this interview that the syrian army will retaliate immediately to another israeli strike inside syrian territory washington has said nothing about this huge number of fallen most recent operating inside syria although it has been critical of his beloved fighting on the side of the syrian president aside there is an international peace conference that is being planned in geneva next month that will be brokered by both the u.s. and russia but in the same interview to his ability the syrian president assad said that he was not particularly hopeful that anything would come out of this he did

however say that syria will take part but again that he doesn't expect any kind of big decisions to be made the opposition meanwhile remains divided. this video has emerged from the recent syrian national coalition meeting and it shows the frustration of envoys of both western and arab nations when the cincy fails to broaden the coalition by making more seats available the french ambassador testifies to members of the opposition he was angry over the coalition's failure to agree on introducing new members you don't deserve so you're the one member of applies. when you cut the weapons the french ambassador then says did i say so i didn't say that what it does seem is that the collapse of the talks had a lot to do with the push and pool of various foreign powers jockeying for influence within the coalition to the u.k. now were one of the alleged machete killers who hacked a british soldier to death on a london street has been officially charged with murder michael is currently in

court the gruesome killing has added to the anti muslim and to immigrants elements in the country that authorities are now increasingly under fire for downplaying the race and religion factor in crimes the tory of oxford grooming bring case being one of the most recent examples are to go explains. across the country many have been shocked at the uncovered sexual exploitation rings first in rochdale then brother and darby and most recently in oxford gangs of men vulnerable young girls some as young as ten with presence in order to gain their trust then they force them to take drugs rape them and finally they sell them off into prostitution they reported gangs are made up of muslim men their victims young white girls says the government choosing to ignore obvious marcuse when it comes to these horrific crimes race and religion to talk about the issue i'm joined by sean thomas he's a writer and journalist shawn you've written about the case in oxford is there an

elephant in the room is the government choosing to shy away from making a connection between these men's religion and their white victims i think unquestionably yes in the past there is some evidence that these crimes have been going on since the early one nine hundred ninety s. if not before. additionally a labor m.p. and crier raised the issue maybe ten or fifteen years ago and of course in a tourist leave the head of the british national party a far right politician raised it in two thousand and one and in two thousand and four i want it was right in two thousand and four it was a subject of a secret b.b.c. documentary and the reaction of the of the political and legal establishment to nick griffin enough for a politician raising the issue was to try and silence him not to investigate the crimes that he regarded as being an ethnocentric if not racist politician but but they did what they ignored everything he said and instead tried to soften his point of view so the crimes went on for another five or six years at least before they

originally put it became finally revealed in the last two to three years you've also mentioned in your writing that it was a muslim prosecutor driving the sentencing in the oxford case do you think anybody who is known muslim feared being branded a racist if they look too closely at the case the fact that it took a muslim prosecutor in the northwest of even to funding cut through the. yes there was a problem a show that that what prosecutors what social workers what legal offices and what politicians were very wary of addressing the issue because they are all terrified of being associated with the b.n.p. with the far right of being seen as racist it can it can ruin careers if you get that label and yet the government hasn't taken this up as an issue you think it's too dangerous a can of worms to open yes completely and in fact to be fair to the government the police forces they are now in fact tackling this crime pretty damn seriously i was reading a report where they were said there were nine fifty four ongoing investigations into into separate asian grooming gangs around the u.k. . that is an astonishing figure that's fifty four gangs each of these gangs may

have dozens or even hundreds of victims so we are talking about possibly five girls who've been abused raped and even possibly murdered in the last twenty years because this crime was ignored i mean it is very shocking we have to accept that yes white people can also be victims of racial crimes and i'd say these girls were such victims and thomas many thanks for your comments there you have it the muslim council of britain is going to dedicate their next meeting to talking about how they can stamp out such cases of abuse but we're yet to hear anything from the government on the issue. artsy london. well let's now discuss this further with a sebago a u.k. based freelance journalist and blogger has been reporting constantly on radicalism related issues and he joins us live from london as a thank you very much for being with us here in the program so do you think there's a really this massive trend of racially and religiously motivated crimes in the u.k. or isn't just an unfortunate coincidence what's your take i don't i don't think it

is racial or religious i think that i was quite shocked by your report on the way that your reporter approached this and also the contribution look if these guys were muslim and they claim that they were the crimes that the committee to not islamic. radicalization to be grooming girls but drugs and alcohol is something that is the case the muslim faith and as for race the majority of the grooming that takes place in the u.k. is did white men and these men talk to vulnerable girls that happened to be white and i don't think there's a racial element to this. you know in this particular case we have a situation where i mean we're dealing of course with a very multi-ethnic community there but how can you actually defuse tension. but you can defuse tension by not making sure that you put it in context and the fact that you can't keep referring to people's race or religion is not something inherent in someone's rate or you know biological makeup that makes them groom

groom women these are not racists racially motivated grooming attacks these of these are pretty tree men targeting vulnerable guilt and those vulnerable girls happened to be white if those girls had been asian if they had been black these men would have still done done the skoda the same actions so obviously i said you know the authority is indeed faced criticism for downplaying their religious factor in the crimes like the word murder in the oxford grooming ring in the one hand but then on the other wouldn't paddling it promote more islamophobia and as a consequence more attention to how can you actually reconcile these two positions whereas the golden mean bill you can't you can't pander to people that criticize the authorities for saying that you don't bring religion and religion has no bearing on this thing what you need to do is have an open discussion about the treatment of women by men in general across society talk about massage and talk

about patriarchy and talk about sexual abuse and empower women to be able to speak up with godless of the background of the men and we need to put this in context the majority of sex attacks assaults grooming draitser by white men it's not asian men the majority here and i think that we need to put this in context it's meant to text against women race and religion has nothing to do with it. but what can be done to educate both communities on these factors obviously like i said earlier i mean when you're dealing with multi ethnic situations there there is a lie i mean on the one hand have to be politically correct but on the other by being politically correct are we like covering up you know certain issues that should be on the surface and i don't think we are covering up i think look these cases a lot of publicists in the british media the b.b.c. scotland used all refer to the race and religion of these guys so it's not covering up taking place i think how you reconcile this we have on this discussion about

sexism in society the approach to women in society and how we treat victims of sexual abuse i think that's how we reconcile this not not concentrate on the red herring which is race and religion all right sebago u.k. based freelance journalist and blogger thank you very much for joining us here from london thank you. well so i had for you this hour here on r t wretchedly up cyber tension the last boosts its digital warfare capabilities recording thousands of packer's for internet attacks and reports come as obama prepares to confront china over its digital offense plus. essential olympic awards the mouse for the sochi twenty fourteen winter games have been unveiled and our teams and farmers here in a few minutes with a look at the designs that are much more coming up in the program.

a clear image of iraq to replace the. twenty day taxi trip through the country. the roads full of danger. clear evidence from north to south. the route of iraqi tragedy. after the war waiting for peace. talks e t. do we speak your language as anybody will or not advance. what programs are documentaries in spanish what matters to you. but i want to turn to bangalore stories. here. altie spanish to find out more visit actuality that tito is calm.

welcome back here with our tina cyber tantrum players between the u.s. and china as president obama gets set to confront chinese leader xi jinping over hacker attacks on american military networks meanwhile reports say washington's launched massive preparations for on the cyber war so the u.s. apartment of homeland security is recruiting hackers opening up to forty thousand job vacancies for cyber warriors the obama administration pledged to boost spending on cyber security and raise its funding to three billion dollars and twenty thirty forty u.s. teams of cyber agents are to be formed and thirteen of them assigned to launch

hacker attacks are just going to investigate. the cyber race between the u.s. and china is starting to look like a real arms race it has its drills its spies and both sides accusing each other of cyber attacks this june china will be holding drills with special i.t. units within its army for the first time the chief of the u.s. cyber command general keith alexander says the u.s. is now busy setting up forty new teams of cyber agents that will both protect america's critical infrastructure from hackers as well as launch attacks against the country's adversaries and so that there is no confusion as to their capabilities general keith alexander says quote i would like to be clear that this team is an offensive team the offensive nature of u.s. cyber defense program is emerging new reports which say a large chunk of the country's current cyber endeavors does not rely on defensive strategy as one might imagine but instead involves offensive operations launched with the intent of causing harm on the computers of adversaries

a recent reuters article cites defense contractors and government officials most of whom speaking on condition of anonymity and the article says that the us government has become the biggest buyer in a burgeoning gray market where hackers and security firms sell tools for breaking into computers the u.s. has demonstrated its ability to carry out a cyber attack against a foreign country when they attacked iranian nuclear facilities a similar attack against the u.s. would be seen as an act of war by the pentagon's own definition there's a certain game of words going on here when it's against the u.s. it's called a cyber attack when is the u.s. doing it it's called installing software but there would be no cyber race without spice and the latest development here is that the chinese have reportedly hacked into the pentagon's most sophisticated weapons systems leaks confidential report by the defense science board intended for pentagon leaders says two dozen system

designs were compromised those systems are said to be critical to u.s. missile defense and aircraft. us officials point to china u.s. news outlets run articles with headlines like this one china is winning the cyber war because they hacked u.s. plans for real war china traditionally denies the accusations of cyber espionage but if the accusation is true if one still has to ask the us what do you expect when they see your cyber or forces attacking another country's infrastructure or when they hear you say you're a pivot to asia pacific with all that military gear to counter china in washington i'm going to check them. in another science other warfare has stepped from the pages of science fiction made a recently released a manual on the international law applicable to digital warfare daniel long unearth the hat of the kountry risk solutions the dangers of a cyber attack shouldn't be underestimated. so i wrote where there was very much

here to stay it's very much a part of our daily lives and the trick is going to be to try to make it less of an everyday occurrence and more manageable that's only going to come with time but right now i think the u.s. and every other country in the world is quite vulnerable to cyber attack but we've already seen that everything from. nuclear installations in iran to the idea of electric grids in the united states or extremely sensitive defense and intelligence secrets have been vulnerable to cyber attacks whether it comes from a government whether it comes from a very still the individual hacker there was the case just last year stratfordian united states was a private company which was hacked by a teenager who managed to get through with firewalls and basically. make his point clear and he was subsequently discovered of course but this can be done by an

individual imagine what could be done on the part of governments there are so many things that happen every day that we hear nothing about. takes around two months to climb world's tallest mountain and just a few minutes to get down at r.t. dot com watch the record breaking jump marking sixty years since the first sand mount everest. plus the canvas bag much anticipated star of the political talk show on r t sparks controversy over host larry king go to the common section on r.t. dot com we're the debate is getting fired up. i would rather question should people be busy for instead of speaking there but

that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on our t.v. question more. now with less than a year left before the twenty fourteen winter olympic games kick off and sochi the designs of the top awards have been unveiled in saying that as a book artist under farmer with a ceremony in russia's northern capital. now holding up one of these will be the dream of every athlete competing in sochi twenty fourteen which begin in just a month's time and here in st petersburg the medals were revealed for the very first time to the public designers hope to capture russia's sense of national identity and character and they've tried to do that by showing the warm waters of the black sea crashing into the ice of krasnaya polyana up in the mountains and if you look very closely you will also notice

a patchwork quilt thing here and that is meant to represent the multi ethnicity of russia a record thirty eight hundred of these will be produced matters because sochi twenty fourteen will be the biggest winter olympics in history and also if you win one of these you will need a very strong net because they do you weigh in at something like over five hundred grams i spoke with jimmy fortunate shanker who chairs the sochi organizing committee and he hoped that when someone does game one of these they will also take away the spirit of russia on a more serious note mr chernyshenko also addressed security concerns and said that the government had taken exceptional steps to guarantee the games would be safe and secure he also talked about the possibility of a lack of snowfall because sochi has experienced a very mild winter but he has said that tons of snow is now being stored under thermal blankets up in the mountains to cover any shortfall essentially the message is sort she is ready and from friday there are only two hundred fifty days to go

and three farmer. simply to spoke. and i was take a look at some other stories from around the world and u.s. army soldier will plead guilty to killing sixteen civilians in afghanistan in a deal to avoid the death penalty staff sergeant robert bales will have to go into details of his rampage last year final sentencing is set to be announced in september bales is accused of murdering villagers during a nighttime raid most of them women and children. in italy a tornado has ripped through the industrial district of a small town just outside the land some buildings were completely destroyed and several vehicles overturned by the twister the town center was also hit with homes damaged and trees uprooted there are no reports of casualties. at present today here in our he'll be back with more news about half an hour up next though a man crosses post war iraq in a taxicab a look at the violence played country in our special report baghdad taxi stay with

us. destruction is one thing the media does very well we all tend to focus on one spicy issue of the moment and ignore the rest jimbo's are definitely worth the media attention but let's not ignore the fact that the food people eat around the world is an attack from multiple fronts antibiotics are often overused and cattle which can and eventually sadly will lead to anti biotics resistant bacteria evolving animals are also injected with various hormones which can make their way into our stomachs and speaking of mysterious things getting into our body pretty much any

crops a jew we are doused with all sorts of pesticides and sit. top of powerful fertilizers which can affect bodies of water far beyond the fence of the farm obviously technology has been and should be used in farming so we all don't starve i get why pesticides exist and why they start giving diseased animals antibiotics but there comes a point where outputting a lot of poisonous food will kill you just as dead as slowly starving will there is a healthy middle ground out there somewhere but if we only worry about just the g m o's and only win that battle then we'll still be eating food loaded with bad stuff just other bad stuff but that's just my opinion. visiting the general hospital in pfluger is like living it was a nightmare. children with two heads tumors wealth of nations missing limbs

and macao brain on bearable little they say every family here is sheltering or hiding a deformed monstrous child. who . get away and the grandmother you know my daughter cries all day long it but she hopes to see her daughter get better. i deeply affected i leave the city with its newborn monsters. we head for baghdad on the banks of the tigris. baghdad can be translated as the garden of peace. but it's a bitter fragile peace the patrols are iraqi wearing uniforms applied by the u.s.

the army is divided by political religious and tribal conflicts everyone fights for his own camp. the president is kurd the prime minister shia and the parliament is run by sunnis. in paradise square opposite the royal mosque stands a concrete pedestal. here once through the absolute symbol of power stir a. actual saddam hussein. on april ninth two thousand and three it was torn to the ground of the united states believed to have wonderful. nine years of past the square is empty and the city appears to be in

a state of siege. oh is that our passenger alley a theater director back from exile in paris waited for a long time to see his enemy for all and returned to his native city. where i was thrown in prison and when i got out i was given five days to leave baghdad and iraq that gave me to. put folly the combat continues. and it's through theater that he hopes to win it is methodist to re-invest the public with a sense of resistance and a taste for life. i'm not out. today i see a country filled with weapons the overriding color in the city is khaki the color of soldiers because i see young people with no future men and women deprived of any feeling of citizenship the grown people have forgotten their rights and their duties. as if they.
