washington to ensure that a russian pilot jailed in the u.s. is given urgent medical treatment constantini health is critical but he has been refused access to a doctor. reports. first he received twenty years in prison in the united states for a crime he never committed on the american soil now it has gone from bad to worse for russian violent constantin you know. he called me in the morning and told me he felt very sick and that he'd be lucky to survive until monday he seems to be having heart attack because he told me he was suffocating experience and heart pain and was almost unable to walk when he felt sick they put him in lock up and left him on the cold floor while he was off or it was flu medication and some antibiotics you know show because lawyer told r.t. that the head doctor at the new jersey prison where he's being held will not expedite his treatment monday as also

a federal holiday in the united states so my supposition would be that any kind of medical treatment so constant in your i shan't go could be provided only on tuesday the u.s. center was arrested in twenty ten in liberia on suspicion of drug smuggling he was reportedly severely beaten before being transported to the u.s. where he received a twenty year prison sentence this is something we are seeing repeated over and over again kind of arrogant attitude that washington has toward other countries and particularly to other countries for nat. doing what washington wants to dictate to them to do the presence system of the united states has no terror notoriously. disregarding of the rights of prisoners even the most fundamental rights including the right to look to the moscow has been insisting all along that the way you know shank this case has been handled regardless of whether he committed the crime or

not is a gross violation of human rights probably very beginning keys so if you're a shrink it has been absolutely politicized we have expressed many things over the seriousness of having failed to get through to washington via official channels the russian foreign ministry resorted to social media and posted at. for help on its facebook page ever since you know it was delivered to the u.s. russian officials have been denied access with the situation now taking a dramatic turn russian foreign ministry officials are once again demanding to be allowed to see him along with their own doctor as that is of course if you know shanker himself lives to receive that help. now according to the u.s. department of justice more than forty five thousand people have died in custody in american jails due to health causes in the space of a decade the added terror of prison legal news alex we have been told us that keeping inmates alive isn't always a priority in american jails prisoners might have very serious medical conditions

can sometimes be very near death and they are told to sign up on a sick call or that they'll refer them to the nurse the next week or there might not be a doctor at the prison that weekend and so they have to wait until the next week to see medical staff. go receive the twenty year sentence he did not receive a death sentence but unless he receives adequate medical care he and other prisoners with serious medical conditions can die while in custody mr you're ashamed go was basically kidnapped you know when he was taken into custody overseas by u.s. officials. the united states really does not have a lot of respect for the rule of international law when it conflicts with what they want to do. now still to come on the program swiss support for tighter immigration rules sparks a hit debate in the e.u. . if you like i mean the phone to your to come from your phone my you know its own

target the district where she'll leave tripoli is divided into sunni and shia parts ironically by the street called syria two years ago we filmed on that street by street in the city of tripoli separates the whites and sunni neighborhoods in this part of north running like a merger between those who support the syrian president and his regime and those who want him out today we can't get. cacheris intention was. who do you fight against who is your enemy i'm addicted to my fight against the infidels those who don't carry the flag of far lebanon is probably the war spillover of the syrian conflict and while the world is hoping for peace to come back to that middle east country war seems to only spread further on. people here seem to be used to seeing fighters carry sniper rifles through busy markets

they tell us everybody here has a weapon and is ready to fight. it will come to these can go outside you will see every day to raise a look at first told us that it doesn't take well you know for someone who zero experience become a real fighter. a week's training and you are in for a life time of obedience rosario rules for those who want to become one day dean you have to forget about money and be ready to die or to be arrested and to accept that no one will take care of you or your family let jihadi flags on the walls weapons on the floor this is the life of a true fighter. it's tough and the rules are strict. who introduced himself as a tripoli sunni leader says many yous are willing to join the club even from now until i grow up i'm ready to defend myself i'm ready to kill

a whites and syrian army and you're ready to kill for them over for that. we give and while the syrian conflict expands a legion of fighters on to these deadly weapons and an even deadly ideology is on the rise. from lebanon meanwhile in geneva a second round of syrian peace talks has failed to produce results. very very sorry and i apologize to the syrian people at a press conference year mediator lakhdar brahimi apologised to the civilian suffering from the un resolve conflict and the warring sides remained locked in a stalemate where the government wanted to focus on combat terrorism in syria and the opposition refusing to set aside their calls for ossett to step down jonathan steele a columnist for britain's guardian newspaper says one of the k. obstacles to peace is a foreign aid being provided to syria's rebels. it's hard for sides to admit it to

spend all this money in treasure and lives for not getting victory in shows and you still cling to that hope the guessing that was a question with the un question from me and it's the regional countries judge to convincing the government and the opposition that they must make a deal and it's done that would help could it also means cutting back on home supply as you lose jihadi fighters going in and stopping it being a proxy war in research into being what it should be just an internal problem among siblings while lines are now climbing a one hundred twenty story building takes nerves of steel. that's what these guys clearly have in spades scaling china's tallest building with no safety gear and their permission you can see the full video and the emotion section on our website . plus teams that can accompany humans in space and don't even need much maintenance find out about about harvard's latest robotic operations or to dot com

shaking your head oh switzerland's decision to limit the number of foreign workers perhaps the latest example of the growing feeling of nationalism where do you think this trend could be heading luxembourg certified percent of foreigners deliveries it very well because luxembourg is a growing economy growing service sector and i have seen the reaction of swiss industry today in the three was upset with this very slight majority because they need to. hold phobia ration is just disgusting. i mean if you have enjoyed your degree i'm here i'm outta here i know you've. got all of our c o two already. written what you are a lot of jobs that have been done by the polish in your. view or your industry is totally different or. just a mild order in a quote of. yours or whatever will hold your own and go on firstly

minutes we all have to play nice with all of that share our toys joe the introduction of quotas for foreigners would all be create more job opportunities for the swiss themselves i mean that's that's a good thing isn't it every country should choose their future and have their choice about do we have common roots and if you're member of a club you follow the roots if you don't want to follow the rules then you have to leave the club that's quite simple and every club to it is the same thing. now a brief look at some other stories making news around the world and europe is seeking to bolster its digital the fansub language merkel has called for a separate communications network that would prevent e-mails and other data from being harvested amassed by u.s. intelligence german chancellor has also criticised internet giants for their practice of basing their service in countries with low levels of protection and undermining the privacy of their users she plans to discuss the plans with french

areas the majority of families living here are pro gun learning to fire is often part of a child's education the moral value of protecting the family is more important than the physical aspect where in south dakota. jack is five he can barely get out of the car in his own but every weekend his father teaches them how to shoot with real bullets under the watchful eye of his mother gretchen your occurs and stuff. your glasses down. the other. one. jack hasn't been learning long and already he likes helping his dad set up for him it's just like any other game. i've been shooting since i was five or six. and i were in the shoe. in our or. brains or we had in california and i used to go around and shoot every day after

school i started shooting not turn i was probably a late teen. with brian he would go to the shooting range and he took me with a few times and tell me how to should have been doing it ever since i think it's important that women know how to shoot that they can protect themselves. the weapon is heavy difficult for such a young child to handle gretchen doesn't intervene she wants her some to feel empowered. because we're made to feel the heat that. we teach jack that guns are to kill in the right situation. he's learning as a tart to just learn as a target shooter for hunting but if the situation should arise.
