attempts to stir up the war from the inside. which in our day coming to a line from moscow marina joshie welcome to the program. now it's emerged that attach an immigrant killed in the united states during questioning over alleged links to one of the boston bomb suspect was an armed law enforcement officials had earlier claimed he attacked an f.b.i. agent with a knife and was shot in self-defense if we're going to dash of father says he finds it hard to believe. we still will not hear from the photographs that were sent to me it's evident he was shot six times to the body and once to the head at the back of the head it looks like a finishing shot of an assassination to me it looks as if they came to his house like bandits and shot him in cold blood from the photos his house looked like it

had been robbed he was questioned for eight hours without witnesses or a lawyer no one can tell for sure what happened there until there is an official investigation. the f.b.i. says it's launched its own investigation of the incident but it could take months to complete. looks at where the agency stands on the issue. but that 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 few 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 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
9:03 am
extremist groups the f.b.i. for whatever reasons did not follow up and probed the matter to the fullest extent and that some would say led to the the execution of the boston marathon. 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. dot com has more on the boston marathon bombings and connected cases so long gone for details of the investigation and reaction from officials and relatives of the accused. to the u.k. now where police are on alert as one of the suspects in last week's gruesome killing of a british soldier appears in court the broad daylight attack in london set off

a barrage of anti muslim an anti immigration protests and it's all added fuel to claims the authorities have turned a blind eye to the racial and religious aspects of crime example in the natori is oxford sex grooming ring artist billy boy has a story. across the country many have been shocked at the uncovered sexual exploitation rings first in rochdale then rather and dobby 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're imported gangs are made up of muslim men their victims young white girls so there's a 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
9:05 am
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 notoriously 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 to nick griffin enough for a politician raising the issue was to try and silence him not to investigate the crimes that he obviously is regarded as being an ethnocentric if not racist politician but but they did but they ignored everything he said and instead tried to saw his point of view so the crimes went on for another five or six years at
9:06 am
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 prosecutor in the north west of even to finally cut through the. yes there was a problem here 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 front tacking 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.
9:07 am
but in itself that is an astonishing figure that's fifty four gangs and each of these gangs may have dozens or even hundreds of victims so we are talking about possibly fisons and sizes of girls who've been abused raped and some 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 what 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 of artsy london and the far right and islamic angles to fans leaders reportedly planning national rallies of more than thirty locations on saturday but mohamed shafique from their ramadan foundation tells us that most britons see beyond the need for gender. they don't represent our community i think is very clear they think the white girls are worthless they think they can be used and abused in this horrific way and we must
9:08 am
stand up against we need to see real action from the police and the authorities to deal with this threat but we don't see the same protest is when white people are convicted of child sexual abuse eighty percent of child sexual abuse carried out in this country are carried out by white men yet we don't see the english defense league in the british national party fascist groups marching the streets of this country but actually i think the majority of the british people recognise that this is a very small minority of people they don't represent any particular part of our community and actually all people from all parts of our society can be affected by child sexual exploitation or earlier we talked to andrew no folk chief investigative reporter with the times this carried out a two year investigation into the sexual exploitation of teenage girls by gangs of man and he says it's up to the muslim community to stamp out the practice multiculturalism is a very thorny issue in this country the idea that you should allow different
9:09 am
communities to develop for italy and to continue with traditions which. which make them feel more comfortable with their life in a country where those traditions are completely alien now the way to tackle the crime is. increasingly convinced for the muslim community itself to take the lead in exposing and eradicating those who think it's all right to do this to girls and there are some very encouraging signs finally that some leading muslim organizations are prepared to try to grasp the nettle on this and do something about it. i think that person has become too much for some brits who are heading for the hills they would r.t. as we report on what's causing white flight sounds as figure show ok asian british people are leading there are now ethnically dominated cities and suburbs. read a cyber tantrum the u.s. plows billions of dollars into digital warfare while president obama prepares to go

from china over a timeline offensive. syria has received its first batch of ass three hundred surface to air missiles from russia according to media reports citing president bashar asad the fam systems are designed to repel aircraft and missiles neither of which rebels fighting the syrian army have but it's enough to make israel see red as the country's fighter jets are no strangers to syria's skies our middle east correspondent policy or has the details. to say is that it will continue to supply a defense missiles calling it a balance that is designed to deter some intervention inside syria the russian foreign ministry says that it will restrain this is to quote the ministry some hotheads from escaping 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
9:11 am
operational on the syrian soil these way the 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 ball good for lethal aid for the rebels inside syria now as we know twenty five countries voted against it to get paid until it's pushed forward with the german chancellor angela merkel saying that her country will never send arms to the militants in syria despite the sniffed president bashar assad says that there are around a hundred thousand fallen mercenaries. who are fighting on the side of the rebels inside syria washington has said nothing about this huge number although it has been critical of his fighting on the side of the syrian president assad while there is an international peace conference that is the unplanned in geneva next month that will be brokered by both the u.s. and russia president assad said that he was not particularly hopeful that anything
9:12 am
would come out of this he did however say that syria will take part the opposition meanwhile remains divided this video has emerged from the recent syrian national coalition missing and it shows the frustration of envoys of both western and arab nations when the s.n.c. fails to broaden the coalition by making more seats available for liberal members the french ambassador told one of the members of the opposition you don't deserve death made to which 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 has a lot to do with the push and pull of various foreign powers jockeying for influence within the coalition. of the syrian national coalition has set another condition for its participation in russia u.s. sponsored peace talks in geneva next month the group says it won't join the conference unless urana has renounced all involvement in the syrian war the
9:13 am
statement follows the syrian army's advances in the central part of the country with the e.u. arms embargo now lifted something the rebels may try to gain the upper hand on the ground so we are conducting a vote on our side to r.t. dot com and if you have some other ideas of that do us no so far let's take a look at the votes that we've got well as we can see most of those who participated in our online vote think that this will only prolong the war costing many more lives thirteen percent and are saying that the out of all. zimbardo will save the rebels from losing the war the rest are somewhat split between two views some believe this will give the golf marquees a new channel to fund the syrian rebels while others thing that lifting of the ban will be used to pressure on us and at peace talks so do us know what you think by logging on to our website or to call and leaving your vote there also you can leave

back you're watching r t you know china has flatly denied allegations that it hacked into designs for u.s. military hardware including blueprints for the world's most expensive fighter jet but washington isn't taking any chances and is said to be beefing up its cyber capacity for a future cyber war well the obama administration has pledged to spend three

billion dollars in two thousand and thirteen to stave off online hacker attacks and forty teams of american cyber agents are to be formed thirteen of which will be engaged in offensive operations our team is going to have a story. 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
9:17 am
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 attack the iranian nuclear facilities and 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 it's 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

9:21 am
feels the area she lives in it's lost all sense of community all people i knew when i moved here have gone they've all moved away. now mostly flats with very transitory population but perhaps surprisingly it seems many of the older generation of migrants who live around here and it settles and builds up businesses agree that integration is not working is whether that maybe should be ethnic cultural diversity in london that's part of what makes one group so why do you think it's seeing a lot of talk about these are the problems the right to go to zero has its foreign people as more or less these european people they just interested to do a short journey make their money and then run off their country and there's no investment in very very return to their country there's nothing to rebuild the country is only for themselves to make money and that's you know that's what i first of all i mean i've been to this country when i was like twenty three years old now i'm forty three years old so i'm an investor in business i'm doing so many

a very alienating effect what's been seen across the cape for a long time has been most acute in london but the figures aren't the full story avoiding ethnic communities does play a role in so-called white flight but evidence shows that race may not be the main driver i think the main thing about that white flight reminds us of is that there is a problem the mistake it makes that says that problem is just about ethnicity it's not it's about age and it's about mixing between people of different incomes and we need to address all these things together there are now concerns britain could see yet another immigration surge at the end of this year when some twenty one million romanians and seven million bug ariens will be free to travel and work across the e.u. only a fraction of those are forecast to actually come here that previous immigration under-estimates coupled with white british relocation changing the face of london's ethnic makeup without much understanding what the full ramifications of that might
