coming up on r t iraq is involved in 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 a crew member lose their lives it happened during a shelling attack in a region where ukrainian troops still battle anti kiev separatists the latest coming up. and one ton of obey officials claim that three detainees committed suicide but a new report claims that there's been a cover up about the actual cause of their debts more on that later in the show.

it's tuesday june seventeenth eight pm here in washington d.c. i'm manila chan you're watching r.t. america. overnight clashes with shiite militia men in 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 u.s. 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 more troops to further train the iraqi forces as the clashes in book continue government forces are focused on regaining control of the very strategic city it's the last city between isis insurgents and the capital

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 really i was joined earlier by alina director of the carnegie middle east center i first asked her how isis got their start. i think those have of origin in and i'll try that in iraq what it offers us and asian or iraq i've been very small that i can troops and the country and the guy get off what is actually an awesome service in the area in iraq so this room does not fly just became why i want to know me was i shot at some of those areas.

how did we go into iraq and bob well before the current uprising in syria i too was pressure on me from the government i want to be here and i did i thought he had the . greatest with the. majority from prison and i'm not as they all for him and i. am now what we're seeing is a group that will hold you down and i don't know where either or i just have now as as far as we know isis used to be associated with al qaeda why did al qaeda split from them once he had ended up as i said i think this has been a neighbor the other regime has been direct way where. all of the. organization that knew him or didn't go i'd be more free i ended up following

a different vision from god all upside so the group members are going to try to and now they are. right. 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. i'm going to get money from her choices are well both and you know. it also engage in a new thing and both patient all trolls in syria i'll also often just not far as. i can see i know all those i did manage to stay over or longer million dollars from god you don't provide an area now. isis is a sunni militant group what is the relationship with the sunni is as a whole. well. that is out of the holes in the mother.

of all those bones and more about that and that is muslim to be living under isis rule oh we've got your god is going to go oh well that be of the current government motors that regarding. this is going to be a shadow government a lot of i want to have are going to do something more than seventy already thirty just because we're going to. now speaking of the kurds in the north security and 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 is it is it an option that's viable. or admittedly iraq very very complex situation the thinking god in this country

will be the problem and not really because we're in a position of the country is if you haven't been to. bridge. you are not going to have a stable border it's not a state with you if you're going to. 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. ah i was. being the i'm too me or i'll. shoot me. oh the government. was. not a big. regional actors like bob. dole have a lot of. drive operate. out of the house.

like i. just no possible solutions without any bloodshed it sounds like thank you so much for your time and your insight that was lena contained director of the carnegie middle east center 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 la guns igor cornélie 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 kosar of has the story. if you get a card you know what's the name of the journalists he was there rushed into emergency a 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 all heavy artillery shelling in the little village which is in

a suburbs. gone scans he had said two colleagues with him an entire filming crew and they told one of them is on the last and it's so far on no no he is the sound engineer meanwhile and the other man and another member of the crew the camera man he's apparently safe and sound right now looking at the footage the very last supper but it's all the group of the guns just before heavy began the camera man was apparently about one hundred meters away from where the shells hit the russian a camera crew and they were among the locals who wanted to for the there as well. and that was artie's roman kosar of in ukraine in that report though he said the fate of the sound engineer was unknown but just a short while ago t.v. confirmed that the sound engineer and tumble lotion was also killed in that attack

and the night of june ninth two thousand and six three get most detainees were found hanged in their cells in an apparent suicide as what the naval criminal investigative service purports or better known as and c.i.s. recently harper's magazine published an eyewitness account of a military policeman describing what he saw the night of june ninth his was just one documented account uncovered by seton hall researchers as released by four year together with senior fellows at the center for policy and research the students discovered documents 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 system a systemic and c.i.s. cover up of the suspicious events that resulted in the death of these detainees for example a key 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 the foyer released version 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 i was joined earlier by seton hall professor mark de bono he was responsible for leading the researchers in this bombshell discovery i first asked him what caused him to question the original m.c.i.'s reports. well i guess the simplest answer was that the description given by the admiral that night which was that the three people committed suicide by hanging up cells in their cells was an act of asymmetrical warfare and there was something of my students were troubled about so callously disregarding three people's deaths as if it was a war attack and then of course i did represent several detainees so when the

deaths were first announced i along with almost all the other of us lawyers spent the anxious two days wondering if our clients were. alive or dead obviously in my case mine we're not we're all on you mentioned asymmetrical warfare can you explain to us but that is guy 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 i mean nobody is going to go out and stand and fight the u.s. air force by shooting their guns because we don't have the powers 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 rights and 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 jumble that numbered redaction sometimes small sometimes large crowds. 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 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.s. findings or doubt it would suggest that three people and they so block with twenty four people in it if it was full and it was and 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 the men have been dead for more than two hours when they were finally brought into the clinic but that would obviously mean that if they had all of 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 were also law students here the state of guards were guarding twenty people and three of them hanging to death in their cells for hours the guards would go to jail . as 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 at it that they realize no guards were ever disciplined and that led of the students to conclude that well 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 if they're going to enough in the program but the first report death in camp delta did generate a major piece of our harper's magazine in which they described a major investigative report of their own based on our investigation as well so it

was started to end quote in camp delta and that created some interest and several congress people were interested. and several newspapers the st louis post dispatch want to have a special prosecutor appointed there was some response but not a great deal i think there's a lot of watada moment and i think that people would like to believe it's closed and go on 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. despite the federal aviation administration promises 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 a national research council report found that the f.a.a.

has been allowing controllers to work schedules that put five work shifts into four twenty four hour periods these kinds of schedules are popular with air traffic controllers themselves because at the end of the last shift they have eighty hours off before returning to work the next week the report stated quote from a fatigue and safety perspective this scheduling is questionable and the committee was astonished to find that it is still allowed under current regulations. the report was written at the behest of congress by a twelve member committee of academics 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's quote adding limitations to its shifts and scheduling rules now the national air traffic controllers association defended the scheduling citing a two thousand. but by the f.a.a.

and nasa that examined how late night work schedules affected controller performance the only problem though the committee was denied access to the f.a.a. nasa studies because the results have remained in a quote official use only format since two thousand and nine and still ahead here on our t.v. at a canadian grocery store horrible hidden surprise bacteria was found that is resistant to most normal antibiotics more on the superbug at the supermarket after the break. on marinating in the financial world. series development i mean i'm. only taking a. new life there are. three like me what you come to use this is. what your comedy used to be

a bare bones did no holds barred fight to sit down. with prior winding into the next or the corporate elite billionaire freaks while they're going. well that's what you get with my new show projected in night. so we live in a society where we carry around bottles of hand sanitizer and in our desks we carry staplers pens in anti-bacterial whites but that's not going to be enough to stand up against a new strain of bacteria discovered in a canadian grocery store here to tell us more is our cheese 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 product 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 explained to me why this is such a scary finding which should concern professional. never been. with the implication being are. potential relation risk of exposure to these or. includes people who purchase these products potentially. rather than people who. travel history to areas of the world where these organisms are and have been hospitalized recently or received an a buyout expense 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 markets those surveillance programs may soon need to expand and to be clear it's not entirely on common to find any bionic 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 white 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. in the fall making sure that a void cross contamination in the kitchen not using the same cutting board meets as they would food products or fresh fruits and veggies. cleaning and disinfecting kitchen services and making sure to cook food to a proper internal temperature. so in the short term climate lena says the key is saying house a while researchers look for a long term solution on how to address this potentially catastrophic problem reporting in washington by and lopez are taking. and on world cup news vice president joe biden dropped into brazil for the u.s.a.'s game yesterday against

ghana and the third time was the charm the u.s. won two to one finally beating the team that eliminated them from the tournament back in zero six and two thousand and ten the game started off with the fifth quickest goal in world cup history as u.s.a.'s clint dempsey scored in just the thirty first second of the game perhaps that goal took the staying out of the kick to the nose by a gun as john boy that left dempsey bloody but he battled on going to deny equalize until andriy a goal in the eighty second minute rousing fears that ghana would knock the u.s. out yet again but just four minutes later john brooks snatched the lead back with his first goal in his first game for his country no doubt the u.s. team's win put vice president biden in a good mood before he had to get down to business and meet with brazilian president dilma rousseff today for some loaded diplomatic talks relations between the two

largest democracies in the hemisphere stalled last year when documents leaked by edward snowden revealed that the n.s.a. had been spying on brazilian companies the state run oil company petro bras government officials and even on rousseff herself now biden called his conversation with rousseff today quote candid and a short her that the internet is quote not a government tool of repression and a russia just played its opening game of the world cup against south korea in the city of cool it was a neck to neck game with both sides scoring one goal the final result was a tie of one to one russia will play their next game against belgium on sunday while south korea will play against algeria on the same day. and before we go don't forget to tune in at nine pm for larry king now tonight's guest is comedian and big

bang theory star simon helberg here's a part of what's to come what you make of the big bang theory being banned in china . i think it's it's they won't release a tremendous amount of information about what happened why do you guess. i think you know some of the some of the articles i've read it seem to imply without sounding egotistical or anything that the show is such an unbelievable influence on the the youth and the entire country. that i think the government is afraid to influence them to what that is the question that has never been answered but i guess people are incredibly i think it's making well i think what it is maybe is that it's giving them enough confidence to feel like they might actually fit in and have a place as these as outsiders and as. as as part of the human race and in the struggle that is

a life and i think maybe that government the government fears that they will become empowered with their own self assured in this. so tune in tonight at nine pm right here on r t america and that does it for now for more on the stories we just covered go to you tube dot com forward slash r t america and check out our website r.t. dot com for a slash usa you can also follow me on twitter at manila chan for now have a great night. it's. the sankyo.

to. the dark frank was an acted in two thousand and ten to help the police of wall street the f.c.c. clean up some of the corruption of our financial institutions and one of the provisions of that act just made headlines in a really funny way the bill set up a whistle blowing program for the f.c.c. where employees at crooked by mantle institutions are encouraged to report corruption where they work by sending and none of his tips to the f.t.c. and if they do and their tips pan out they can receive awards for up to thirty percent of any monetary penalty at these he recovers from the information and that can add up to others out of money last fall the f.t.c. awarded fourteen million dollars to one whistleblower and just recently the f.c.c.

handed almost a million dollars to another two anonymous was the blowers those are huge rewards which means the conduct of the employees we're reporting must have been awful but those millions aren't the funny part of the recent news the funny part is there's this person who keeps submitting anonymous tips over and over again they submitted one hundred and ninety six. whistleblower application in hopes of cashing in on a reward it's like they're playing the lottery or something and they think they've got to be in it to wit it and that these p.c. is so tired of putting man hours and money into looking into these claims that they just sent the person a cease and desist order and it gives the hilarious part according to the order of the persons whistleblowing forms lack quote even a superficial factual nexus the order calls the claims of aig utterly

incredible and patently false the tone of the letter is so low and petulant you just can't believe it's coming from the as these thieves so here's this very serious matter how corrupt our financial institutions are to the point where they're robbing all of us blind with bad mortgages and bomb investment instruments and we've got whistleblowers treating the matter like another a.t.m. machine wires we've got what is the post to be the police of wall street acting like angry teenager is sending hate mail and setting up rewards programs because the system is just that screwed it think about that we have an anonymous program at that as these the because the institutions we all trust with our hard earned money are that corrupt our whole financial system is a total joke what's not a joke to me if that were some reason we all keep buying into it that doesn't.
