12:05 pm
to see his son's killers punished. chuckin i should say i went to meet the grieving father. 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
12:06 pm
a parent should never get to see images that will haunt him for the rest of his life. 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
12:07 pm
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
12:08 pm
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 i'll do what i can i'm just not able to leave this. field and r.t. orlando florida. and we are coming to you live from moscow as it seems that dark clouds are gathering over relations between the u.k. and spain london is considering unprecedented legal action over madrid's lengthy checks at the border into the british territory of gibraltar and downing street claiming they are politically motivated and all the royal navy ships are also expected to drop by the strait although it's a claim to be on a so-called show jeweled exercises but it's prompting one spanish general to call
12:09 pm
for their access to the rock to be blocked starsailor explains. it all started with spain saying that it really wants to protect its interests mainly fishing interests as this whole spat this whole story was sparked by gibraltar's building of an artificial reef which spain claims is the strong fishing in the area and therefore it had imposed a border checks on those going to one from a gibraltar a british held territory of beer for causing a lot of delays and right now the rhetoric is escalating between britain and spain over the matter britain is threatening e.u. legal action over spain say what it says it's a politically motivated move and london mayor boris johnson actually said that it is quote unquote tantamount to a blockade even used particularly harsh words saying quote i hope one way or another we will shortly prior spanish hands off the throat of our colony end quote and also light can be actions of the spanish government to the franco the time of
12:10 pm
military dictatorship favorite sport as reported by the spanish press is considering escalating this to the level of the united nations even floating around the idea of spain and argentina presenting a united front over gibraltar and the falkland islands and clearly as britain boris johnson in particular is criticizing spade by raising the a franco era you have spain you're highlighting what critics without a doubt will be see as britain's. year or habits and now all of this is happening as thousands of royal navy personnel have already set sail for the mediterranean in what the ministry of defense has insisted it is a long scheduled a training exercise well long scheduled or not it seems the timing is not lost on the london mayor boris johnson as he said that quote the deployment should send a clear signal to the spanish it seems that the spot is continuing to go on. and on
12:11 pm
to contributor should return three things the whole scandal is supposed to distract spanish people from the real problems of. thousands of companies register their fake registrations in effect to avoid taxes it's like and some people come into this like some sort of gangster island which britain wants to protect for itself of course other people are saying that both of mariano rajoy. and his government ministers they want to avoid they want to create a distraction from the disastrous economy that now exists in spain as he continues policies a bit like britain's extreme austerity sixty percent youth unemployment of course in spain and the i.m.f. even saying that's going to last some time so this is a kind of diversion well the absurdity i suppose is that david cameron wants to take it to the european court of justice and it was only a couple of weeks ago that david cameron here in his own minister were trying to pull out of european court of justice trying to avoid the obligations. joining us

12:14 pm
thanks for joining us here on r.t. now the u.s. secretary of state currently on a rather uncomfortable trip to latin america where it seems that sorries not soothing the strain created by the spy revelations of edward snowden certainly it was a tough task for john kerry defending washington's far reaching surveillance this during talks in colombia but now it's walk of shame continues to brazil which is apparently thinking twice now before proceeding with a hefty four billion dollar deal to purchase american fighter jets and more now from iran you could avail. according to you from aisha release by future blow were told in brazil was the top original target for the n.s.a. surveillance program washington was a brinkley's being on the unsolved brazilian's telephone records as well as private e-mails for about a day kate brazil's foreign minister talking about all the has said this can't be
12:15 pm
left out of the conversation between the two countries the problem was that right after the new global abuse paper published in july you and the n.s.a. collecting data on been solved telephone e-mail conversations in the country the foreign minister spread deep concern and asks for east 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 countries. looks like the most provocative relations are you still to come deem agree world america will be published as gold and legal documents claimed that what it has seen so far just these mollies is a lie us 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
12:16 pm
states surveillance of global internet. has reportedly told the brazilians sophie shows that disclosures we'll unveil more each a gate the table solve the americas in spy world a white in brazil in particular so it looks like washington has some issues to iron out why the n.s.a. scandal seems to be taking on a broader dimensions running her fellow to r t brazil. and as a secretary kerry justifies surveillance in latin. america pirate bay used once again sticking it to the copyright in forces and celebration of its tenth anniversary the flagship pirate web site has released a modified browser intended to circumvent censorship and i speak to r.t. the leader of the swedish pirate party commented on the science extraordinary voyage and gave her thoughts on surveillance it is actually quite amazing that the
12:17 pm
part of still alive and it's been around for ten years and ten years is an eternity in internet time and it's also a site that has been persecuted by by a lot of corporate industry companies especially from from america from hollywood and but also music industry but i think also that the copyright industry will have a really really hard time trying to close them down even in the future at the core your party focuses on no free flow of information how does a lens figure in your party is thinking the right to personal integrity is incredibly important important for the pirate party and it's also very closely linked to file sharing because if you want to stop file sharing someone somewhere needs to know everything that you send and receive with our computers. you all know what we do with computers today i mean we work over the internet we data over the internet we buy you things we communicate with our friends so to have someone monitoring everything that you do online is a huge integrity infringement and it's
12:18 pm
a problem that the whole world has to be with because it's it's not something that only american citizens are targeted with it's something that everybody who uses the internet is potentially targeted with. a website with the latest stories for you including a contagious. radioactive fuel would be detected over the crippled fukushima nuclear plant and find out how many people have been exposed. in the controversial. frankenfood. expected to bring it. before we get to the. participants of the sochi winter olympics will not be discriminated against as a result of russia's new law against homosexual propaganda to minors the country's
12:19 pm
interior ministry has dismissed any claim to the. baseless this follows a wave of protests against the new law by western communities. what's causing all the stuff. 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 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
12:20 pm
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. finds foreign citizens could potentially face up to fifteen days in prison deportation and denial of every entry into russia now almost 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. it's 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
12:21 pm
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 international 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 in front 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
12:22 pm
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 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 the east. he said that russia will do its best to effectively keep the guests and the participants safe and comfortable that very mixed reaction internationally but russian officials are trying to encourage athletes to feel comfortable and to of course participate in the upcoming sochi winter olympic games . now initially on the outskirts of syria's civil war kurds now find themselves
12:23 pm
caught right in the middle a report suggested al qaeda linked jihad is slaughtered more than four hundred fifty kurdish civilians including women and children and are believed to be holding an even more than that hostage if confirmed kurdish leaders in iraq say they are now ready to come up and intervene human rights activist assad the wanni he says the militants want access to natural resources that's the purpose of the end of the day. these groups so you can start going to islamic states they supposed to go there'll coil rich areas of kurds and they said they are supportive very well both ok so there are two factors one of them is that these groups want to establish their own islamic state many islamic state which is a project to establish a huge islamic state in. syria and iraq now they see that kurds are facing the kurds is a challenge to that and the other factor is that turkey is pushing these groups
12:24 pm
against kurds because turkey is not happy that careers. are willing go to try to establish their own internal me in that region and because of issues in northern syria. or not into the r.c. world update some of the global headlines for you in brief to iraq we go now another two car bombings have again shattered the peace in the country if indeed there was much of it in the first place seven people killed one of the explosions targeted a shia mosque south of the capital baghdad and more than three hundred people killed in the country last week alone all of this in a string of terror bombings and shootings of july set a tragic record with a monthly death toll on a level not seen in almost half a decade. a massive gas pipeline explosion has rocked the state of illinois to the north of the village of erie a one mile radius including part of the village has been evacuated with children and women among those taken to safety for the flames are expected to be active for hours despite fire crews managing to shut down the line they got.

hundreds of demonstrators have clashed with police in the brazilian city of rio de janeiro this was on monday night security forces resorted to tear gas to disperse a stone throwing more people have been demanding answers over the disappearance of a bricklayer it was last seen in police custody in june of this issues aggravated current tensions with the local authorities who are also accused of corruption with activists calling for the city's mayor to pack as bags and go. now china is likely to overtake the u.s. as the world's largest crude oil imported this year that's according to a report by the energy information association with millions of drivers a thirsty for pets rule and growing industrial production of beijing's liquid fuel imports are forecast to rise to over six million barrels a day kitty pilgrim reports. well investors really it's
12:26 pm
a sigh of relief that we seen we had a metals rally on our hands at one point and it's not just oil that's making its way to china at record amounts but soybeans i and as well but the oil really demonstrates a change in dynamics is a global shift the u.s. has been the talk of consumers since the early ninety's 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 the people who are set to benefit a rock 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 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 to mulches region the oil producing countries and the maybe pressure on china now
12:27 pm
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 predecessors the u.s. and gas girls a lot. well thanks for joining us here on out see on real research show you in moscow and he's not afraid of upsetting the big boy bank is just a moment he puts them in a stranglehold. the

u.s. government project arrow 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 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
