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 . the father says the only connection his son had to the tsar knives was a chechen background that had once prompted 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. now they would never be able to prove his guilt in anything 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 he hopes those behind his son's killing would show some hard. as well most you know 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.

n.s.a. surveillance program washington was a brinkley's being on b.b. and solved brazilian's telephone records as well as private e-mails for a ball today kate brazil's foreign minister through all that has said this can't be left out of the conversation between two top countries they promise right after the . paper published an article in july you and the n.s.a. collecting data on be dissolved telephone email conversations in the country the foreign minister suppressed deep concern and asks for a small nations in father bill 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 me why 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
3:07 am
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 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 america's a spy world the white and the brazil in particular so it looks like washington has some he 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. political analyst eric draitser explained to us why brazil is among the top tonkatsu of the n.s.a. surveillance program the surveillance was targeting economic interests
3:08 am
business interests this as an entirely new dimension to this story because as we all know brazil is one of the world's leading emerging economies of course 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 breaks 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 with and 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 good tool kit if you will of u.s. imperialism in latin america and around the world. just coming up to ten past
3:09 am
eleven here in moscow still ahead this hour iraq's wave of death the latest string of attacks leave over three people dead just after the bloodiest year life of five years plus we look at how china is set to overtake us the world's top oil importer easing concern over the global effects of its slowing economic growth for these stories and more coming up in a few. brushes interior ministry has called claims of discrimination and bias towards homosexuals in the country far fetched and guaranteed the safety and comfort event he won competing in the upcoming sort cheap winter olympics this was in response to global protests by the gay community who are calling for russia to be stripped of the games for introducing what they believe is an anti gay law lucy catherine of looks at what is causing the strong reaction. the international reaction as well as domestic here reaction here in
3:10 am
russia has really been hand 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 eighty and 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
3:11 am
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 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
3:12 am
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 wall had sparked a boycott of russian vodka and gave them bars across north america and elsewhere with people dumping a box gunpoint of russian embassy as eventually the calls moved on to boycott the twenty fourteen winter olympics in sochi and 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
3:13 am
games should continue to be attended by the athletes now here in russia the russians force 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. whether you're my colleague and his guests discuss what has changed off the mill 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
3:14 am
lesbian and gay growing up with prejudice this cause this day it causes distress anti gay bullying is terrific but it also is deep in issues because of the huge fines it imposes a little denies ations and individuals who even mention gay rights but i will write i just you know 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 probably but for others in the protests and as as basically a scouse journalist here i know the reality of life and i just wanted to put to stop the exterior you know it doesn't snow all around there's a simmering active thriving gay community in russia and indeed in sochi when i was filming there last week and there is one that i just wanted to actually give my calm humble mature opinion regarding gay life in russia and i was nothing short of
3:15 am
i was assassinated for a for having possibly you know you know pro you know thoughts on russia which is seen as the as evil russia want to talk about a political commentator. there 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 that well i think first of all i have been asking some people here what is it exactly that british athletes are planing to do and sort your other going to. get lifestyles or are they going to compete they're actually in the games themselves but let me 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
3:16 am
a wise thing to do you were immediately accused of being a comma for i think it's time for the gay community to realize you cannot prevent other people from having their own views and in london you know of what was there on computers and i think it's total impellor and total intolerance by the by the liberal elites that not allow 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 book of sochi olympics because lympics slates don't deserve such a treatment in the modern history of the movement we had to boycotts it must be nine hundred eighty and in the early one nine hundred eighty four slaves couldn't compete in a highly competitive atmosphere for twelve years i always bring up to two comments
3:17 am
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 that'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 my friends in the government the in the u.k. he said that's because it's so suppressed or that it doesn't matter which i think is just ridiculous. because it's football have a sexual interest doesn't go along with the sport which i think is absolutely ridiculous all of the countries and i think this gets forgotten have signed into lympics charter which states that there is no kind of demonstration or political religious or racial propaganda allowed at any olympic sites venues or other areas is the community going to allow this a live picture to become about gay rights and not about the olympics and also what about other minorities that feel like they 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 want russia to intervene in syria and then
3:18 am
another protest from the environmentalists they don't think the olympics should be held there at all everyone's going to want to have their say thanks for being with me this morning we're going to take a quick break now more news in a couple minutes. wealthy british. market. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger the no holds barred look at the global financial headlines cons are reports.
3:19 am
again 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 dead body in the country has claimed the lives of more than three hundred paper in the first two weeks of. already approaching the total for the whole of last year it follows july which was the
3:20 am
deadliest month since two thousand and eight. who has investigated the consequences of the u.s. led military campaign in iraq thinks it's the u.s. led operation that has sown the seeds of terrorism. kind of ironic that the u.s. now have 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 on 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 fall 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
3:21 am
a decent level at least. a quick look now at some other world news is our reports from egypt suggest police have asked people living close to a major city in protests in cairo to leave their homes thousands of protesters who support asad president mohamed morsi are 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 elat a salafist group took 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 fees of increased violence. and fifty six people have been killed by
3:22 am
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 is the latest in a slew of violence blamed on religious extremists in may the government declared a state of emergency in the northeast in an attempt to combat the rising violence now china is likely to overtake the u.s. as the world's largest crude oil imported this year according to a report by the energy energy information association with millions of drivers thirsty for petrol and growing industrial production beijing's liquid fuel imports are forecast to rise over six million barrels per day earlier i discussed the market reaction with artie's business correspondent katie. well investors really it's a sigh of relief that we see you we had a metals rally on our hands at one point and it's not just oil that's making its
3:23 am
way to china record amounts soybeans iron as well but the oil really demonstrates a change in dynamics is a global shift the u.s. has been the top or consumer since the early ninety's so why are we seeing this shift with 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 with this is what's going on in the u.s. domestically the shale gas boom they're far more self-sufficient than ever before so this could have a big impact do you think on the global it was mostly yeah i think the people that are set to benefit a rock especially that's where the most oil goes goes china more than half actually comes from iraq and the middle east in general but russia is also going to want to listen into 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 it's about politics as well with the oil market because it is such a to mulches region the oil producing countries and the maybe pressure on china now
3:24 am
to be more vocal in what's going on the u.s. perhaps 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 their 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 will follow in their predecessor the u.s. and gas girls alone. you can read about the rivalry between the u.s. and china online also their nobel prize for i would sue blower supporters of u.s. army private bradley manning who is facing up to ninety years in prison for leaking secret data but one hundred thousand signatures on a petition to get their hero recognition. also datti dot com traveling in achieve faster than a plane billionaire inventor elon musk believes his hyperlink project could
3:25 am
revolutionize into city travel around the world just go online to find out more. coming up next it's the kaiser report. the u.s. government project marty has been in place for twenty years this project was designed to break the media monopoly of 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
3:26 am
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 cuba is 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 it's cronies in washington but that's just my opinion. welcome to the kaiser report i'm max kaiser last week in london a sixteen and a half ton confluence of wet wipes and lard was found lurking in the sewer system
3:27 am
no it wasn't j.p. morgan's london whale nor was it j.p. morgan's derivatives book its manipulation of the energy markets or its bogus mortgage backed securities this was a whole different ball of wet wipes and lard this was. burke tell us more stacey yes max this is fat bergen it was lurking in the sewage system here we're going to use this as a metaphor for the global fat burger fraud going on around the world so first let's look at this thing that was in the sewage system here blimey it's slimy meat fat bird london sixteen point five ton confluence of wet wipes in lard the thirty three thousand pound berg came from modest beginnings flush wet wipes of food waste created from brits pouring grease and fatty foods dema drene fat bird creation is a vicious cycle thames water media relations manager simon evans told henry
3:28 am
gibralter of cities fact clings to wipes wipes cling to the fat oh right it's big as two of these huge london buses and they noticed it because the water in the toilet started backing up so this is analogous to the debt concentration or confluence of debt in the global economy it's backing up in terms of you see you know certain things happening like prices of certain items keep popping up as a result of this massive debt debt berg at the center of the financial system or in this case the lard and wet. wipes. that confluence concentration at the center of the of the london toilet system the sewer system. a lot of the similar influences well the london sewer system is one of the oldest in the world and it's and it's still is the same exact victorian sewage system that worked beautifully
3:29 am
for one hundred years and then modern technology of wet wipes and lard. everybody eating out fast food conveniences advancement of society has created these confluence of lard and these giant birds in there and the same thing with the global financial system which worked fine until we had this creation of derivatives which allowed for not only debt to build up but also fraud to build up because you could hide it all behind you know the wet wipes that made it look like it was you know it cleaned it up and made it look clean but it was creating disasters elsewhere and we didn't see it by the way that burger fraud only when the it started backing up the global financial system ok so the way the derivatives market are meant to clean up balance sheets of banks like j.p. morgan goldman sachs they use what wipes their their spewing out or they're in this case deficit ing risk that in their.
