for justice the father of a chechen 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. the 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. and russia's interior ministry says these sort she winter olympics will be safe and comfortable for the gay community and everyone else following fury over a new law banning homosexual propaganda.

and i welcome you watching r.t. coming to you live from moscow. now the father of a chechen man shot dead while being questioned by the f.b.i. in his home has traveled to the u.s. to demand someone be held accountable here but he family insist he was unarmed while being interrogated about his links with the men accused of carrying out the boston marathon bombings there are allegations he was shot in the back of the head artes and this is the grieving 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. of 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 greg 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 you know where. such violence from law enforcement nowhere have i seen anything like this. the morning father's 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 with the 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 abdul by key hopes those behind his son's killing would show some heart as well most of 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. field and r.t. orlando florida the u.s.

is facing a rift with latin america caused by revelations of n.s.a. spying secretary of state john kerry is visiting two chief allies as the region fuse showing washington monitors internet traffic across the continent john kerry tried to defend the program during talks in colombia but faces a much more difficult task in brazil which is believed to be the n.s.a.'s prime target. as this report. 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 rush of questions raised about the incident involving president gore rallies from believe you know when he's airplane was blocked in europe recently and in the wake of the revelations that washington has been the spying law in america according to you from a should release by future chief blower it were told and 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 the has said that this can't be left out of the conversation between the two top countries they promised that right after the new global abuse paper published call in july you and the n.s.a. collecting data on been involved 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 serving of the country's me why it looks like the most provocative relations are you still to come diem agree world america 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 relate to what he say is the secret united states surveillance of the global internet. that has reportedly told brazilians sophie shows that disclosures we'll unveil more eat your gate. hey will solve america's a spy world a white and brazil in particular so it looks like washington has some he shows too are you an 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 that'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 american around the world. and while countries such as brazil

look for a way around americans of violence file. marks ten years of outsmarting governments by launching a sense of dodging online browser you can read more about the new software at r.t. dot com. russia's interior ministry has called claims of discrimination and biased towards homosexuals in the country far fetched anger in t. 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 is causing the strong reaction. the international reaction as well as domestic here reaction here in russia has really been hands on what this 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 activist 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 of polling center here in russia have actually found that seventy three percent of respondents support any government efforts to curb the 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. 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 us 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 russian sports minister said that foreign athletes will be expected to respect the laws of the country but the head of russia is 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 william i totally agree sushi and he's guests discuss what's changed the rule 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 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 on organizations and individuals who even mention gay rights but

i'm going i just you know i think i can easily answer journalists here in suicide but 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 you good people at home the reality of the situation here i posted on facebook i started writing about any abuse on face 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 styria you know it doesn't snow all year round there's a simmering active thriving gay community in russia and indeed in sochi when i was filming the last week and there is one that i just wanted to actually get my car on humble mature opinion regarding gay life in russia and i was nothing short of i was assassinated because there are a whole lot of for having possibly you know you know pro you know thoughts on

russia which is seen as as evil russia want to talk about it's 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've been asking some people here what is it exactly that british athletes are playing to do in sort of other going to. get a lifestyles are they going to compete actually in the games themselves look let me tell you something you're both believed. the lord be here and the game will be as world. 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 else no one can prevent total

implodes dolan's 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 sochi olympics because lympics slates don't deserve such treatment in the modern history of the movement if 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 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 a sports one of our friends in the government the in the u.k. he said that's because it's some suppressed over that it doesn't matter which i think is just ridiculous and the second comment was that because it's football homo 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 limping charter which states that there is no kind of demonstration or political religious or racial propaganda allowed to 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 want russia to intervene in syria and then another protests from the environmentalists they don't think the olympics should be held there at all everyone is going to want to have their say is plenty more to come this hour including iraq's wave of deaths the latest string of attacks leave over three hundred people dead just after the bloodiest five years plus we look at

how china is set to overtake the u.s. as the world's top oil importer easing concern over the global effects of its slowing economic growth that these stories and more shall. i would rather as questions for people to see things look instead of speak on their behalf and that's why you can find my go larry king now right here on r.t. question more.

welcome back 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 violence in the country has claimed the lives of more than three hundred people in the first two weeks of all this and

that number already approaching the total for the whole of august last year it follows july which which was the deadliest month since two thousand and eight marketing 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 terrorists. kind of ironic that the us 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 details 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 through the rockies 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 with force from egypt suggests police have asked people living close to major city in protests in cairo to leave their homes thousands of protesters who support president mohammed morsi is 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. city authorities in jerusalem have given the green light to the construction of over nine hundred settlement has in occupied territory in the east of the city is likely to increase the divide between israeli and palestinian sides who assured you to begin peace talks on wednesday another one thousand two hundred settlement homes have already been given the go ahead in the west bank despite calls from the international

community that there should be no new obstacles to the negotiations. 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 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 information association with millions of drivers thirsty for petrol and growing industrial production beijing's liquid fuel imports are forecast to rise to over six million barrels per day well earlier i discussed the market reaction with r.t. business correspondent katie. well investors really it's

a sigh of relief that we've seen we had 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 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 a consumer since the early ninety's so why are we seeing this shift with the father china's 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 you think on the global yeah i think the people who are set to benefit of 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 into this we know that russia wants to tap in being neighbors into this market just

make 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 to mulches region the oil producing countries and the maybe pressure on china now 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 or follow in their predecessor the u.s. and gas girls in the way. and you can read about the oil rivalry between the u.s. and china online and also their nobel prize for whistle blower supporters of u.s. army private bradley manning who is facing up to nineteen years in prison for leaking secret data put one hundred thousand signatures on the petition to get

their hero recognition and traveling in achieve faster than a plane well billionaire inventor elon musk believes his hype project could revolutionize into city travel around the world just go online to find out more. coming up next on our prime interest. the u.s. government project aero marti 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

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 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. well if you will the moment like these policies it's a. pleasure

to have you with us here on t.v. today i roll researcher. good afternoon and welcome to prime interest i'm harry i'm boring and i am bobby english let's get to today's happening. there are now a national security issue that's according to the new york department of financial service is a very thinly veiled threat slash press release compared virtual currencies to the wild west as the domain of narco traffickers and criminals the same in new york that it is in the common interest to bring virtual currencies quote out of the darkness and into the day into the light of day a compelling use of dramatic metaphor is new york this is mr spitzer yes we do and

prime interest last week we called it the mainstream media when they floated the idea that no one would go into jail over the six billion dollar london will debacle well now the media is following a different story which is to say someone might actually go to jail no not mr diamond or any of his direct underlings just certain mid level employees what's more mary jo white head of the f.c.c. to regulate state p. morgan passed to recuse herself that's because as we pointed out before she represented that the too big to fail banks for becoming as the regulator. and speaking of j.p. morgan as we like to do it seems there's been no farther. and you know about the energy market manipulation to see if d.c. is finally getting involved and quote probing those actually warehouse metals that would be the likes of j.p. morgan and goldman sachs unnamed sources to reuters a state of the commodities regulator is finally investigating big bangs his
