does it do anything. to teach religion and why you should care about you and. this is why you should. only. coming up on our t.v. iraq isn't golf and violence as another city falls into the hands of isis militants they inch ever closer to the nation's capital of baghdad a look at the growing threat from isis coming up and in eastern ukraine a russian t.v. reporter and crew member loses their lives it happened during a shelling attack in a region where ukrainian troops still battle anti kiev separatists the latest coming up and guantanamo guantanamo bay officials claim that three detainees committed suicide but a new report claims there's been a cover up about the actual cause of their deaths more on that later in the show.

it's tuesday june seventeenth four pm in washington d.c. i'm manila chan you're watching r.t. america overnight clashes with shiite militia men in baquba iraq leave forty four dead and much of the city in the hands of sunni militants from the islamic state in iraq and syria or better known as isis president obama has already deployed two hundred seventy five armed forces to iraq to provide support and security for u.s. personnel at the embassy in baghdad officials within the administration say that the u.s. is also considering air strikes on areas now controlled by the insurgents along with sending one hundred troops to further train the iraqi forces as the clashes in book quba continue government forces are focused on regaining control of the strategic city it's the latest it's the last city between isis insurgents and the

capital of baghdad as the sunni al qaeda offshoot push the shiite government further south with fewer and fewer government strongholds in the country. but just who is this group who is isis we're hearing so much chatter about this organization but how powerful are they joining me now from beirut is lina khateeb director of the carnegie middle east center thanks for joining me today lina let's start with a little bit of history where did i says actually get their start. i says have origin and that and i'll try that and what it should offer us is vision on iraq and free thought and i can troops and the country and you know what is actually going out of certain sunni areas in iraq so a group that is not quite as. wired marginal meanwhile. here you.

have to go into iraq as well before. to our pressure on iraq you know what do you see here and i'll writing start that if you have this. regime where released from prison and also or and i was in syria and now what we're seeing is a group that has or will hold you wrong and syria and iran on her or her origin was right now as as far as we know isis used to be associated with al qaeda why did al qaeda split from them. what she did about as i said i just as i have been in the navy was the regime had been direct way where. the. organization that i knew the new emerging group i'd be more

three i end up owing a different vision from god oh my god so this room under the ground are already off and now they are. on arrival and now we've heard a lot of reports about where al qaeda is getting their money where are these guys getting their funding where is the money trail where does the paper trail lead. going to get money from joining our well both and you know. it's also engage in a new thing and pose stationed all trolls in the area i'll also often just not. around. i'm going to be i know all those i did manage to stay over or longer million dollars from. them for by. now. isis is a sunni militant group what is the relationship with the sunni is as

a whole. well i. hold to be more than i most of them do not support isis and the muslim to be living under isis rule well i mean have you brought is that result. of the current governor or were that guarding this is. the sunni shia the show me a lot of otherwise hunters are going to be bombing more is appropriate or at least thirty people are protected were guards. now speaking of the kurds in the north sectarian strife between the sunni's the shiites the kurds is by many accounts the actual central problem in iraq now is carving the country maybe into three states a possible solution as it is an option that's viable. fortunately iraq is very very complex situation and suit me thinking.

of the country with problems and monetary things that were dashed in there and. because you have this isn't a state next to next british ah you are not going to save them borders especially not all of these save your place in your community sharing what is there any possible hope at all to see a diplomatic solution to all of this or or is this a sign of a coming revolution. i love i was going to see a. new mate for the war baby she has many love so the solution will get ugly government. made it was as soon as i heard men not on duty. regional actors like on the.

whole have the. drive operate. out of the house international partners like you and i. just no possible solutions without any bloodshed it sounds like thank you so much for your time and your insight that was lina continued director of the carnegie middle east center and the militant suspected in the deadly attack on the u.s. mission in benghazi libya has been captured by american special forces the pentagon says ahmed abu khattala will be tried in the u.s. court system he's currently being held in an undisclosed location last year the u.s. filed charges against khattala and a number of others suspected in the attack until now no one had been arrested in the september twenty eighth attack that killed ambassador chris stevens and three other americans the obama administration has come under intense criticism from

republicans for being unable to apprehend those responsible for the attack the pentagon says the u.s. military in cooperation with libyan law enforcement personnel captured khattala on sunday officials said there were no civilian casualties related to the operation and all of the americans involved have safely departed libya their president released a statement in part it said the fact that he is now in u.s. custody is a testament to the painstaking efforts of our military law enforcement and intelligence personnel because of their courage and professionalism this individual will now face the full weight of the american justice system. and the crisis in ukraine has claimed the life of one t.v. reporter and one of his crew members in a deadly shell attack in the eastern city of lugansk igor cornell yoke a reporter for russian t.v.'s rosia channel sustained wounds from a ukrainian shelling earlier today he died shortly thereafter at the hospital

artie's roman coaster of has the story. that's the name of the journalist he was there rushed into emergency room where he had died during the operation as a result of his wounds that early reports suggested that he was a severely wounded as a result of heavy artillery shelling in the field village which is in its suburbs. gonski and he had said to colleagues with him an entire filming crew and one of them is on the launch and it's so far on no no he is the sound engineer meanwhile another man another member of the crew the camera man he's apparently safe and sound right now looking at that footage the very last step but it's the crew the guns just before the heavy began the camera man was apparently about one hundred meters away from where the shell hit the russian the camera crew and

they were among the locals who wanted to for the there as well and that was artie's roman kosar revenue crane in that report he said the fate of the sound engineer was unknown but just a short time ago rosia t.v. confirmed confirm that sound engineer and tonga lotion was also killed in that attack and the night of june ninth two thousand and six three get mowed detainees were found hanged in their cells in an apparent suicide as what the nabl criminal investigative service purports or better known as and c.i.s. recently throw harper's magazine published and eyewitness account of a military policeman describing what he saw the night of june ninth he his was just one documented account uncovered by seton hall researchers as released by four together with senior fellows at the center for policy and research the students

discovered this document along with more damning evidence related to the three mysterious deaths. that night. they've uncovered a startling mosaic paper trail that points to a systemic m.c.i.'s coverup of the suspicious events that resulted in the death of these detainees for example a case statement by the medical examiner was extracted from the n.c.a.a.'s records and replaced by three blank sheets of paper in the version the students reviewed through the foyer release they found one of many disturbing accounts that one of the men was found still alive with faint vital signs as he hanged in his cell joining me now is the scene hall professor who led the researchers in this bombshell discovery professor mark denbeaux thanks for joining us today professor now let's start off with this what caused you to initially question the original

and c.i.s. reports that stated that the detainees just simply committed suicide or guess the simplest answer was that the description given by the admiral that night which was that the three people who committed suicide by hanging up so in their cells was an act of asymmetrical warfare and there was something of my students were trouble about so tell us lee disregarding three people's deaths as if it was a or war attack and then of course i did represent several detainee's so when the deaths were first announced our along with almost all the other of us lawyers spent the anxious two days wondering if our clients were alive or dead asleep in my case martin where were all you mentioned asymmetrical warfare can you explain to us but that is. yeah i think that that was a model used for a long time to explain the conflict. that arises when you

sort of plan for modern warfare which is tanks planes people in uniform machine guns fighting other armies in uniforms with machine guns but of course the problem is there really are no more set piece battles coming like that and nobody is going to go out stand and fight the u.s. air force by shooting their guns out of them because we don't the. power is so great so the future is going to be in a sense sort of chaotic and disorganized rather than said these battles for the last couple of years and i think the use of the word asymmetric warfare the phrase was designed to show that the way in which acts were being done would be called warfare to justify the actual result for instance if these people did it as an act of warfare than the assumption was that there was a symmetric warfare and there was no reason for anybody to feel sorry for them

because they were just people who died in the equivalent of combat that struck us as sort of pretty harsh and not very plausible right so that was the first red flag so tell us about the research process that you and your students conduct and in uncovering these documents. well it took two and a half years but eventually the and c.i.s. investigation was published and we decided to look into it this would have been in two thousand and eight two thousand and ten and there were three thousand pages of documents in a big jump all that numbered redactions sometimes small sometimes large routes dates messed up names messed up and it was clearly a design to make it or least it was provided in a way that made sorting through what and c.i.s. found almost impossible but my first set of students spent a year and a half going through that and they wrote

a report called death in camp delta and death in camp delta described what the n.c.a.a.'s actual findings were about the conclusion of the data that the c.i.s. investigators can you tell us what those were what were those findings well i mean for instance if you believe the c.i.a.'s findings or doubt it would suggest that three people in a cell block with twenty four people in it if it was full and it wasn't were guarded by five guards and on a round the clock constant video monitoring there was always at least one guard live on the floor at all times but the n c i s investigators concluded that the men have been dead for more than two hours when they were finally brought into the clinic. that would obviously mean that if they had hung themselves in their cells they had to be hanging there for more than two hours while being watched by guards so it seemed as if the guards let them hang let this happen now allowed it

to just transpire right in front of their eyes no i think probably my students as they puzzled through this over and over and over again couldn't believe that's what happened and they said that if that were the case and we have some soldiers who are also law students here they said if guards were guarding twenty people and three of them hanging to death in their cells for hours the guards would go to jail. the one of the questions my students asked was what ever happened to the guards who reportedly let three people dead in their cells for hours and in the course of looking into that they realize no guards were ever disciplined and that led the students to conclude that while however they died it wasn't an act of asymmetrical warfare hanging in their cells. now do you feel that there has been adequate media coverage of these deaths and in the information that you and your students

have uncovered can say i feel like you know this is the first that many people are hearing about this the no one question the m.c.i.'s reports well you know i guess no academics ever think their work. or cover their expenses enough in the program but the first report death in camp delta did generate a major piece of very harper's magazine in which they described a major investigative report of their own based on our best as well so it started to end quote if you have built and then created some interest and several congress people were interested. and several newspapers the st louis post dispatch or the special prosecutor appointed there was some response but not a great deal i think there's a lot of want tolerable. and i think that people would like to believe it's closed and go and there's a sense that people's over look it sure i have i have

a feeling we're going to be looking a little more little further into this with you a little further down the line that's all the time that we have professor thanks so much that was seen all law professor mark denbeaux thanks for joining us sir and despite the federal aviation administration promise of reforms a new report states that air traffic controllers are at a greater risk for fatigue errors and accidents due to heavy work schedules and national research council report found that the f.a.a. has been allowing controllers to work schedules that put five work shifts into twenty four hour periods these kinds of schedules are popular with air traffic controllers because at the end of the last shift they have eighty hours off before returning to work the next week that's what the report stated and from a fatigue and safety perspective the scheduling is questionable and the committee was astonished to find that it's still allowed under current regulations. the

report was written at the behest of congress by a twelve member committee of academic and industry experts after a series of dangerous incidents occurred back in two thousand and eleven when several air traffic controllers were found to be sleeping on the job the f.a.a. responded to the report saying that it is quote adding limitations to its shifts and scheduling rules the national air traffic controllers association defended the scheduling citing a two thousand and nine study conducted by the f.a.a. and now said that examines how late night work schedules affected controller performance the committee however was denied access to the f.a.a. nasa study because the results remained in quote official use only format since two thousand and nine still ahead here on our teeth at a canadian grocery store a horrible hidden surprise bacteria was found resistant to normal antibiotics

more on this superbug at the supermarket after the break. in the financial world moves. to serious development i mean i'm going to be very lonely take you through. life there are there are books.

so we live in a society where we carry around bottles of hand sanitizer in our desks we carry staplers pens and anti-bacterial wipes but that's not enough to stand up against a new strain of bacteria discovered in a canadian grocery store here to tell us more is our to use meghan lopez we've heard of antibiotic resistant super bugs making their way through hospitals in the past but a new discovery by canadian researchers has taken the fear of this type of bacteria to the checkout line for the first time ever an extremely deadly type of antibiotic resistant bacteria has been traced to a food products u.s. center for disease control and prevention published a study this week reporting that the bacteria was found in a package of raw squid in saskatoon canada in the supermarket the store says that the squid came from south korea dr joseph rubin is one of the scientists behind the

study he explains to me why this is such a scary finding which should concern professional. this type of resistance has never been found before. so what are the implications of this finding our. potential population at risk of exposure to these are. now includes people who purchase these products potentially. rather than people who have a travel history to areas of the world where these organisms are demick and been hospitalized recently or received by out exposed so that risk proportion of the population is much much greater than it before now if you're wondering why food inspectors didn't catch this earlier it's because answering a pro beall drug resistant surveillance programs in the united states and also in canada are limits of popular products like poultry beef and pork but with more people in north america branching out and eating foods from nisha marcus those

surveillance programs may soon need to expand and to be clear it's not entirely uncommon to find any biotic resistant bacteria in food this bacteria is so scary because it is resistant to carve a penance those are considered humanity's last resort and the biotics when nothing else works so if something like this exists in our food supply and becomes why spread we have no way to combat it medically researchers don't know at this point how this antibiotic resistant bacteria got into the squid they say the squid could have picked up the bacteria in the ocean when it was caught along the supply chain or even at the market where it was sold this is still a limited study with minimal implications at this point but if you are concerned and want to be safe dr rubin says there are ways to protect your family. the key take home message for concerned consumers would be to practice good food hygiene in

the hall meeting should it employed cross contamination in the kitchen knife using the same cutting board or meats as they would serve ready to eat food products or fresh fruits veggies or knives cleaning and disinfecting kitchen surfaces and making sure to cook food to a proper internal temperature. so in the short term cleanliness is the key to staying healthy while researchers look for a long term solution on how to address this potentially catastrophic problem reporting in washington may lopez r.t. . and president obama will sign an executive order prohibiting workplace discrimination for federal employees on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in november the senate voted sixty four to thirty two to pass the employment nondiscrimination act which would prohibit companies from firing someone based on their sexual orientation and gender identity president obama has urged

congress to pass legislation that would extend workplace rights to all employees but speaker of the house john boehner opposed the measure and refused to call a vote however this executive order is strictly aimed at protecting those who work in or with the u.s. government the order would extend rights to sixteen million workers and give additional rights to fourteen million other workers while the president does not have the authority to extend the rights to those who are not under federal recognition he has signed the order with the hopes that it will encourage nationwide support obama also signed an executive order back in february raising the minimum wage for federal contractors after congress also failed to pass any legislation on that president the president has turned to executive orders in recent months saying if congress will not act he will. and in world cup
