a morning parent is for justice the father of the check young man killed by the f.b.i. during questioning talks to r.t. about the suspicious circumstances behind his son's death and his plans to hold the agency accountable. u.s. secretary of state heads to brazil to face demands for an explanation as to why washington is spying on the whole of latin america mostly targeting commercial secrets. russia's interior ministry says the sochi winter olympics will be safe and comfortable for the gay community and everyone else following fury over a new law banning homosexual propaganda.

hello there it's nice to have you company you're watching our team coming to you live from moscow. now the father of a chechen man shot and killed while being questioned by the f.b.i. in his own home news in the u.s. to demand someone be held accountable for his son's death he brought him todashev his family are convinced he was unarmed while being questioned about his dealings with the man accused of carrying out the boston marathon bombings there are allegations the man was shot in the in the back of his head while on the ground artes and. met the morning father who wants justice for his son. a quaint residential neighborhood in florida and a father who can't hold back his tears. nothing will bring me peace as long as i live from the moment it happened i haven't been able to forget about it even for a second barely containing his grief. takes

a moment several times during our interview. a few days ago he arrived in the u.s. from russia to seek answers for his son a brother games tragic death this is the entrance into the condo where twenty seven year old lived minutes away from disney world it was here that on may twenty second after reportedly being questioned by officials for hours he was shot and killed by the f.b.i. under circumstances most of which remain murky. from reminiscing about ibrahim as a child who was very much into sports. to looking through graphic images that a parent should never get to see images that will haunt him for the rest of his life which four or five shots right into the heart i've never seen things like this even in the movies not in the u.s. not in russia nowhere. such violence from law enforcement nowhere have i seen anything like this in. the morning fathers on

a mission to uncover the truth behind the f.b.i.'s killing of his son and he's even willing to say. this but i want justice honestly because an unprecedented intentional murder of my son took place. ibrahim came to the u.s. in two thousand and eight to study english and ended up staying to pursue a career in martial arts this spring he was questioned in connection with a triple homicide in massachusetts as well as the boston marathon bombings as officials believe the chechen young man had been friends with the deceased suspect a milan sir. the father says the only connection his son had to the tsar knives was a chechen background that had once prompt a. them to exchange phone numbers were given received multiple fatal gunshots to the heart and head during the night of the questioning the f.b.i. claimed a violent confrontation took place but has been blocking autopsy results from going public some reports suggested breggin was armed with a knife others

a broomstick but there are also claims that he was not armed at all demands from the american civil liberties union and the council on american islamic relations for florida authorities to hold an investigation were declined while the f.b.i. claims to be conducting an inquiry of its own as a new chairman now they would never be able to prove his guilt in anything but because they killed him if they kept him alive tried him that would be a whole different story. showing us the postcards from american sending condolences to his family by key hopes those behind his son's killing would show some heart as well. maybe the f.b.i. will have some kind of guilt resurface and it meant that they committed this fatal mistake for several years prior to his death ibrahim was not able to leave the u.s. while waiting to be granted a green card he eventually received permanent residence status and had plans to visit home on may twenty fourth but he died two days earlier. i'll never get tired do what i can i'm just not able to leave this.

r.t. orlando florida. the u.s. is striving to play down any rift in relations with latin america caused by the revelations of the n.s.a. spying abroad secretary of state john kerry is on a visit to two of america's chief allies in the region but the surveillance issue is clearly casting a shadow over the talks south america is fuming over edward snowden's revelations that the n.s.a. targeted most of the nations on the continent by monitoring internet traffic brazil colombia mexico and venezuela apparently of most interest local media suggest the spying goes. beyond military affairs to commercial secrets including or oil and energy resources john kerry tried to defend the controversial program during talks in colombia but he faces a much more difficult task in brazil which is believed to be the n.s.a.'s prime

target in the region ronnie covello now reports. it's going to be john kerry's first visit to south america seen stake in the secretary of state job but apparently not they used his specter to face up to a variety of questions raised about the incident involving president gore ollie's from believe us when he's airplane was blocked in europe recently and in the wake of the revelations that washington has been the spying in america. today for mation release by future blow were told in brazil was the top original target for the n.s.a. surveillance program washington was a brain please being on b.b. and solved brazilians telephone records as well as private e-mails for about a day kate brazil's foreign minister talking about through all that has said that this can't be left out of the conversation between two top countries the us right after the. paper published an article in july you and the n.s.a.

collecting data on been solved telephone e-mail conversations in the country the foreign minister suppressed deep concern and asks for a small nations in father will brazil once the matter addressed at the united nations to find a legal way to protect the rights of citizens and preserve the servant of the countries meanwhile it looks like the most provocative relations are you still to come deem agree world the america who publishes golden legal documents claimed that what has seen so far just days. of a much bigger case he promised to release thousands of files in the upcoming weeks or so related to what he say is the secret united states surveillance of the global internet. that has reportedly told brazilians ofi shows

that disclosures we'll unveil more gate. it will solve the americas and spy world white and brazil in particular so it looks like washington has somebody shows to our and out why the n.s.a. scandal seems to be taking on a broader dimensions running her fellow to r t brazil. and geo political analyst eric draitser explained to us why brazil is among the top targets of the n.s.a. surveillance program the surveillance was targeting economic interests business interests this adds an entirely new dimension to this story because as we all know brazil is one of the world's leading emerging economies of course it's the united states and the ruling class in the united states that is tremendously fearful of the rising economic power of the brics grouping it is not just a formality that we use this term it represents

a shift in the global economic balance of power and the united states knowing that its economic power is waning is using alternative means to exercise his gemini and project its own power and the surveillance that the n.s.a. operates within other agencies as well that is a fundamental part of that whether it gives the united states an upper hand in negotiations whether it allows them to use blackmail and other forms of leverage all of this is part of the the eternal kid if you will of u.s. imperialism in latin america and around the world. still plenty more to come this hour including iraq's wave of death the latest string of attacks leave over three hundred people dead just after the bloodiest july for five years plus we look at china say they take the u.s. as the world's top oil importer easing concerns over the global effects of its slowing economic growth these stories and more coming up over the next twenty

minutes or so. meanwhile russia's interior ministry has called claims of discrimination and bias towards homosexuals in the country far fetched and guaranteed the safety and comfort of anyone competing in the upcoming sort she winter olympics this was in response to global protests by the gay community who were calling for russia to be stripped of the games for introducing what they believe is an anti-gay law you see catherine of looks at what's causing the strong reactions. the international reaction as well as domestic here reaction here in russia has really been hinged on what the law does and doesn't do and there's been a lot of misconceptions about it so let's really break it down now the bill criminalizes the public expression of support for so-called nontraditional relationships russian lawmakers say that it doesn't outlaw homosexuality it merely discourages the discussion of it among people younger than eighteen now the law doesn't outlaw gay sex which was actually legalized in russia back in one thousand

nine hundred three it also doesn't explicitly ban the participation in gay pride parades the problem however is that the defendant of propaganda is rather vague and it's based on intent so anyone who distributes information for example with the intention of persuading minors that nontraditional sexual relationships are attractive could be accused of breaking this law any individuals or organizations who are accused convicted of violating it face fines foreign citizens could potentially face up to fifteen days in prison deportation and denial of the entry into russia now will most activists believe that this law will not to be widely enforced there is concern that it effectively gives some local governments carte blanche to say to ban gay pride parades and to discourage people from discussing lesbian gay bisexual issues on the internet so that's the worry the thing to keep in mind however is that russian society is very traditional and conservative and

there is in fact a lot of support for this legislation here domestically the independent center a polling center here in russia had actually found that seventy three percent of respondents support any government efforts to curb homosexual propaganda in fact at least the texas haven't really changed over the years it also found that four out of five russians say that they don't have a single lesbian or gay acquaintance so that is why there's been such a difference in for example the western and. national reaction versus the reaction right here in russia that's a perfect opportunity to sort of make political statements for whatever issue that comes up this is the the main sort of social hot button issue that's been raised internationally originally the law had sparked a boycott of russian vodka and gave them bars across north america and elsewhere with people dumping a box and front of russian embassy as eventually the calls moved on to boycott the twenty fourteen winter olympics in sochi one of the prominent british actor stephen

fry of course raised intense controversy when he wrote an open letter to the prime minister david cameron as well as the international olympic committee suggesting calling for a boycott suggesting fact that there should be a boycott of the cames even comparing them to the games held in berlin in one thousand and thirty six of course that was in nazi germany but we should also states that most officials including u.s. president barack obama had said that the boycott is unnecessary and that these games should continue to be attended by the athletes now here in russia the russians forced minister said that foreign athletes will be expected to respect the laws of the country but the head of russia's the olympic committee alexander also spoke out on this issue he said that russia will do its best to effectively keep the guests on the participants safe and comfortable that very mixed reaction internationally but russian officials are trying to encourage athletes to to feel

comfortable and to of course participate in these upcoming sochi winter olympic games where you might call a group and his guests discuss what has changed the law was introduced. we are an international community bonded by the homophobia that affects all of us and what we have to do is take a stand against the fact that the government is actually preventing education rather than propaganda that is desperately needed feel people who are growing up lesbian and gay growing up with prejudice this causes death it causes distress anti gay bullying is terrific but it also is deep in issues because of the huge fines it imposes an organization and individuals who even mention gay rights but i write i just you know i like you i constantly as a journalist here in suicide put you know i constantly as a journalist here go on about gay rights in russia and i on this channel i've spoken various networks around the world about this i've not been penalized or find

out or i'm just trying to give people at home the reality of the situation here i posted on facebook on saturday night probably for obviously the protests and as as a. journalist here i know the reality of life and i just wanted to put to stop the styria you know it doesn't snow all year around there's a simmering active thriving gay community in russia and indeed in sochi when i was filming the last week there was one that i just wanted to actually give my car on humble mature opinion regarding gay life in russia and i was nothing short of i was assassinated for a for having possibly you know you know pro you know thoughts on russia which is seen as evil russia want to talk about a political commentator alexander london as well as the recent levada poll recently saying that more than half of russian support the law and conservative traditions alexander your thoughts on the well i think first of all i've been asking some

people here what is it exactly that british athletes are playing to do in sort of other going to. gay lifestyles or are they going to compete there actually in the games themselves but that may tell you something about the league. the lord be here and the game will be as well we've. none none existing debate about gay marriage same sex marriage the debate was suppressed by the liberal elite nobody was allowed to say anything the moment you questioned you know whether it's a wise thing to do you were immediately accused of being called before but i think it's time for the gay community to realize you cannot prevent the people from having their own views and in london you know of what was there one complete and i think it's total implodes total intolerance by the by the liberal elites they're not allowed this political correctness has turned into censorship from l.g. bt sport is it right to boycott the olympics no it's not trying to completely calls

for bhutto sochi olympics because lympics plates don't deserve treatment in the modern history of the movement we had to boycotts. nine hundred eighty and in the early one nine hundred eighty four. couldn't compete in a highly competitive atmosphere for twelve years i always bring up to two comments regarding this entire situation first of all i think the law is wrong the law is bad and it should be cherry and so i think the timing for the russian government with such coming up is terrible but it's one thing the second thing is why does nobody ever mention qatar the world cup coming up is that because two reasons i think that is i spoke to one of our friends in the government the in the u.k. he said that's because it's so suppressed over there it doesn't matter which i think is just ridiculous and the second comment was that because it's football home a sexual interest doesn't go along with our sport which i think is absolutely ridiculous all of the countries and i think this gets forgotten have signed in

a limb pick charter which states that there is no kind of demonstration or political religious or racial propaganda allowed or any olympic sites venues or other areas is the l g b t community going to allow this a. to become about gay rights and not about the olympics and also what about other minorities that feel like may need to have their say at the olympics how many protests are we going to see or we're going to have a gay pride protest and then a protest about western countries that what was said to intervene in syria and then another protests from the environmentalists they don't think the olympics should be held there at all everyone's going to want to have their say it without say this morning we're going to take a quick break now but we'll be back in two minutes. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you

knew you don't know i'm trying hard because the big picture. speak your language. programs you documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world talks about fifty rpm to be intriguing stories are you. trying. to find out more visit or a big old t.v. dog called.

welcome back now a suicide bomb in central iraq has killed at least sixteen people just a day after al-qaeda claimed responsibility for a string of attacks that left over ninety of these dead since the beginning of the month violence has claimed the lives of more than three hundred people a figure that is fast approaching the total for the entire month of august last year this july was also the deadliest month since two thousand and eight marketing guy who has investigated the consequences of the u.s. led military campaign in iraq thinks the war has made the country fertile ground for terrorists kind of ironic that the u.s. now is to chase al qaeda in iraq while before the war al-qaeda was almost totally absent from the country so i do think it says something about the chaos the

military intervention has brought about it says something about the fact that when you destroy a country obviously all kinds of terrorist groups armed groups will be free to act in any way they like let's be honest i mean there's no way just a bounty will solve the problem of terrorism in iraq terrorism is not for just by repression it's followed by giving basic services by giving health care to the iraqis by giving a decent education system those things should be guaranteed the destruction brought about by war has. totally destroyed any form of health care i mean at a decent level at least. some other world news now happening this hour reports from egypt suggest police are vast people living close to a major city in protests in cairo to leave their homes thousands of protesters who support as did president mohamed morsi a still waiting for the police to carry out a threat to remove them but authorities have perspire on storming two major cities apparently to avoid bloodshed protestors have already spent more than

a month in the camps demanding morsy be reinstated to office. next door israel's missile defense system has intercepted rockets fired from egypt's sinai peninsula on to the city of the latter a salafist groups responsibility for the attack saying it was in response for the killing of four suspected militants last friday a state of alert was issued in the region with egypt's military coup generating phase of increased violence in the region. fifty six people have been killed by suspected islamic militants in northeast nigeria in two separate incidents one attack left forty four worshipers dead in a mosque during morning prayers while another twelve civilians were killed in a mass shooting it's the latest in a slew of violence blamed on religious extremists in may the government declared a state of emergency in the northeast in attempting to combat the rising violence.

china is likely to overtake the u.s. as the world's largest crude oil imported this year according to report by the energy information association with millions of drivers thursday for petrol and growing industrial production beijing's liquid fuel imports are forecast to rise to over six million barrels per day artie's business correspondent katie pilbeam has more. well investors really it's a sigh of relief that we see we had a a metal is rally on our hands at one point and it's not just oil that's making its way to china in record amounts but soya beans iron as well but the oil really demonstrates a change in dynamics is a global shift the u.s. has been the top or the consumers it's the early ninety's or the fact that china is growing they need the oil for that they need it for their cars for their factories for the infrastructure but really aligned to this is what's going on in the u.s. domestically to show you gas through and they're far more self-sufficient than ever

before the people who are set to benefit iraq especially that's where the most oil goes to more than half actually comes from iraq and the middle east in general but russia is also going to want to listen in to this we know that russia wants to tap in being neighbors into this market just like china more attractive this data really but as well as that it's not just about economics is about politics as well with the oil market because it is such a tumultuous region the oil producing countries and the maybe pressure on china now to be more vocal in what's going on there the u.s. ups more less inclined less motivated to be so going forward talking about responsibility also the emissions carbon emissions we know china isn't exactly admired for that eco ethe also be interesting to see if they follow in the footsteps of the likes of europe japan who are more conscious in this department or follow in their predecessors the u.s. and gas girls a lot. and you can read about the rivalry between the u.s.

and china on the line also there nobel prize for a whistleblower supporters of u.s. army private bradley manning he was facing up to nineteen years in prison for leaking secret data put one hundred thousand signatures on a petition to get their hero recognition. also traveling in achieve faster than a plane billionaire inventor alone. his hyperloop project could revolutionize into cities travel around the world so you can just go online to find out the details. i'm back in about half an hour's time with more news for you coming up in a couple of minutes it's breaking. be nice in here and i would say.

the u.s. government project arrow marty has been in place for twenty years this project was designed to break the media monopoly on cuban television by putting u.s. government propaganda up to t.v. screens this injection of american t.v. works with a blimp and a c one thirty military plane working in tandem you know this would actually be a major achievement in the history of technology if it actually worked this program which over the years has built up a billion taxpayer dollars simply does not work but continues to exist despite the cuban government completely blocking the transmission the official logic of continuing the program is that it would send a bad message to the cuban government if they stopped brilliance and action but the big question is who gives the u.s. government the right to propagandize cubans just because they have a different lifestyle doesn't mean it is wrong and the u.s. government does has the right to destroy it and even if cubans on mass actually do hate their system then it is their job to change cuba not the military industrial complex and its cronies in washington but that's just my opinion.

to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous. i mean. i know that i've seen really. or. worse cheaper to live a long life out of a. radio guy. what. if you've never seen anything like this. let up guys i'm having martin and this is breaking the set you know you'd think

that with all the uproar over the n.s.a. leaks we would be hearing at least some type of reassurance that warrantless spying would be scaled back you know obama has told the public that he wants more oversight in the agency's data collection program very few people are taking him at his word and one of those skeptics is former n.s.a. and cia director michael hayden who had this to say on face the nation. president is trying to take some steps to make the american people more comfortable about what it is we're doing that's going to be hard because frankly bob some steps to make americans more comfortable while actually make americans less safe great so not only is and mean unwarranted surveillance unlikely but the scope of secret spying is only expected to grow in argues that another terrorist attack on the u.s. is likely to happen and when it does we should expect the n.s.a.'s data collection tools to be used even more aggressively as if it isn't aggressive enough already guys i really don't know what more power the n.s.a. can really grant itself at this point so the prospect of those bugs you out to join

me and let's break the set. how people walk down the street and suddenly been stopped by police for no apparent reason and not only stopped but patted down their belongings search for drugs or weapons it was exactly the experience for nearly five million new yorkers who over the last decade have been randomly stopped on the street and searched by officers of the stop and frisk program and now after ten weeks of legal debates and a class action lawsuit federal judges finally ruled this program to be unconstitutional the judge ruled on nineteen different stops that were made without reasonable suspicion citing testimony from witnesses who say they were targeted because of their race alone and while mayor bloomberg and white p.d. commissioner kelly both tell the program as being the reason crime is a forty year.
