florida was investigated by the f.b.i. twice before he committed his mass murder. turns out they deemed him not to be dangerous but don't forget about dylan rufe the self-proclaimed white supremacist who killed nine churchgoers in south carolina. well it turns out he was able to purchase his weapons because of errors in the f.b.i.'s background check process and then there is no adel hassan he shot up a u.s. military post in texas back in two thousand and nine. the f.b.i. was fully aware that he was online in communication with top al qaeda leaders they still didn't bother to investigate him i think we've seen time and time again over the last he is our intelligence agencies across the west dropping the pool in terms
2:31 am
of getting tips being aware of potential threats and not following up on those threats and due to taking out defensive measures it seems lessons not being learned they need to have a proper view about you know what exactly are the threats what are they trying to do how can they best protect the people of their country to protect against these threats and that doesn't seem to be done it's not like these federal law enforcement agencies are lazy just recently we heard from the f.b.i. that chinese foreign exchange students are a threat to national security we also have federal agencies urging us not to buy chinese brands of cell phones and more recently congress renewed the power of the n.s.a. to wiretap and spy on american citizens some might come to the conclusion that it's not incompetence or a lack of effort the issue is rather the type of threat these agencies are choosing to focus on caleb oppen r.t. new york. post in school to. she has been left scarred after being mauled

by an israeli army dog in a case of mistaken identity a word of warning you may find some of the following pictures upsetting the victim dzhokhar was assaulted during a raid by israeli defense forces in the west bank they were searching for the alleged killer of an israeli man who has the same surname as gerard you can see the extent of some of the injuries he sustained during the morning mr is expected to require further treatment including a skin graft on his arm he also has a leg injury. so cut that on the sort of the day i woke up when i heard explosions i looked at my house door and it had been destroyed by an i.d.f. bomb and after that there were several other explosions that destroyed the windows and damaged the house i went immediately to my children's room and we gathered after that there was another explosion that destroyed the bedroom door i saw a dog it started to attack me and bite my shoulder and then it started to bite my leg and i was screaming. oh mr juror was allegedly attacked in front of his wife
2:33 am
and young children. this incident has had a psychological impact on my husband my children and who i so i am staring at and was hospitalized and i see he waking up at night shaking. the eldest son also wakes up screaming that he is and the little one is waiting he was a terrifying experience the dog attacked my husband for over seven minutes and i tried to help defend my husband by grabbing the dogs had a vision that i couldn't get. or we are the idea for a comment on the case they responded by saying john are hard previously threatened civilians in jewish majority areas of the west bank they also say the raid was conducted in accordance with standard procedures and was immediately given medical treatment however he disputes those saying he had to wait to be treated.
2:34 am
afterward i was bleeding for more than two and a half hours and they took me to the hospital a note that i only got treatment at the hospital itself not from the i.d.f. . also a journalist my explain mental says the use of dogs is standard i.d.f. policy. this you know is being cast by the israeli military and government as kind of an isolated incident but as any of us who follow the situation in the west bank know this is far from isolated it's part of a clear policy of using dogs as kind of an advance team during home raids of palestinians there is also a high profile case in twenty fifteen of a sixteen year old from the southern town of beit omar also a town that's under pressure from from jewish settlers where he his home was raided by an israeli dog unit this is a sixteen year old named him he was badly mauled by
2:35 am
a dog you know these dogs apply two thousand pounds of pressure per square inch and israeli soldiers were taunting him on video there's actually video of this incident and now comes up behind him and the palestinian human rights group all hawk are suing not israel but actually the dutch company for winds canine which supplied those dogs and has supplied what it calls biting dogs to the israeli military for violating u.n. conventions on companies operating in conflict zones so this is a very significant lawsuit and it speaks to a wider policy of what the israeli dissident journalist gideon levy calls lynching by dog. the russian men's ice hockey team is through to the quarterfinals of the winter olympics self to beating old rivals the usa for now any agenda join found chuang for the build up to the match. tonight's the night of the

2:38 am
of the week. well meanwhile on saturday the women's team from russia made history thrashing switzerland sixteen years ago through their first ever olympic semifinal well that's despite the fact four key team members were not allowed to compete at the games by the i.o.c. . well the russian players had faced a wave of criticism back home after they lost to the u.s. however they bounced back from that defeat and are now targeting a podium finish. now u.n. report says unexploded bombs were littered the iraqi city of mosul for decades to come and could endanger civilians the clearance work will be difficult as many of the explosives are buried under around eleven million tons of rubble the senior program manager for the u.n. mine action service says the situation in the city resembles the aftermath of world war two. becomes so explosive a house it is very it is of unseen previously on the sea in proportions in
2:39 am
terms of the contamination that we experience it is a mixture of coalition ammunition that has been fired and that has failed to function we are still made at least ten percent of the domination. that has five been fired has failed to function we also find that ice is a mission that has been fired has failed to function but with higher failure rates in addition to that we also find improvised explosive devices different types of explosive improvised explosive devices with different fusing systems all in common a combination with rubble high degree of rubble we estimate eleven million tons of rubble in western mosul at least. and in general very difficult conditions to work under. it is a situation very similar to after the second world war of course what we are doing
2:40 am
right now is that we are clearing we're serving we are clearing critical infrastructure but stay aloft maybe twenty years maybe even longer there will still be explosive contamination. it is almost impossible to say we haven't got the full scope of contamination in mosul yet we haven't been to a locations but it is a question of years and until everything has been cleared it is probably more than ten years well the vast sum needed to restore and rebuild the country is estimated at eighty eight billion dollars according to the iraqi government but a global conference into eight pledging age raised only thirteen billion well the u.s. led coalition started its anti eisel campaign in twenty sixteen but they've been present in the country since the iraq war in two thousand and three washington has pledged just three billion of the funds necessary for reconstruction and even that
2:41 am
was not direct financial help the money was loans and financing to help american firms invest in the country much work remains to rebuild iraq and modernize its economy the signal is strong. and iraq's ministry of fire will sign a three billion dollars memorandum of understanding the telephone at the site of the announcement by the us government representative in the kuwait conference was clear that they will not provide anything except perhaps some investment in iraq we believe that the iraqi government with all its political factions should have joined forces and demanded to pay you money and it was just when we while the u.s. military plans to radically boost its stockpile of artillery munitions by eight hundred percent that's an increase of almost one hundred fifty thousand shells.
2:42 am
well the order includes one hundred fifty five millimeter artillery shells which are widely used by nato as naval forces and g.p.s. guided excalibur rounds are also on the list that his mind will close dangerous situations security on the bridge says washington is trying to send a message i'm bolstering its arsenal almost certainly one can say that these are used these are heavy weaponry they are used mainly in conventional conflicts what we're seeing here is a very large increase that i think can't be completely explained by replenishing used resources the what's being attempted i think it's a gesture it's a symbol that is saying we are massively increasing our defense expenditure in the
2:43 am
areas that are likely to be used in a possible combat scenario with states rather non-state actors and invariably of course they're talking here about russia possibly china iran and others and that would be consistent with the new stated u.s. security policy of confronting those states by any standard this isn't a very great increase in the number of shells being ordered a power for stockpiling which again means that the obvious effects for preparing for war. now crossing a frozen siberian lake on a pair of seventy year old skates might not be everybody's idea of a daily commute but it is for one russian grandmother.
2:44 am
2:45 am
looking at value surveys russians are so different from the european neighbors. when it comes to individual rights and freedoms however they do have a very low tolerance for uncertainty in politics that translates into a strong electoral advantage for the incumbent making power transitions rare and precarious what would it take for russians to stop playing it safe politically.
2:46 am
2:47 am
so they have all this is an israeli practices they are precious oppressive measures being deployed against the palestinian people everywhere around the set of colonialism the theft of our land and the many many. you know there's a stating things then there are so many years of doing of course the gun calls and the intifada uprising. that just. sir i want to do things that show everybody is doing so to be very clear place go away go to. management. and they on
2:48 am
they they have one they have and they have male then you. must get me you need to feel this very. soft yeah and then what do you how to become a something like nobody looks local just at one then the. family might if this new . album in the book there's you still want to talk more next. hey everybody i'm stephen bob taft hollywood guy you know suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v. i'm going to suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru well he's a little bit different i'm on the day one good morning no no one knows up with all
2:49 am
the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have some fun meet everyday americans good morning and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people. in early february of two thousand and fourteen as the made crisis was getting more violent there was a phone call that was intercepted it was a call between the secretary of state for european affairs victoria nuland and the u.s. ambassador to ukraine geoffrey pyatt. private chats between top u.s. diplomats was leaked. you know what he. i just think.
2:50 am
working for you. probably. so you had this remarkable phone call. of the u.s. government apparently talking about a coup or how they were playing to restructure the government of ukraine. exactly i'm not saying the whole u.s. government feels that way the there is there is division on this but the neo conservative element wants very much to change the strategic dynamic in eastern europe. very smart people and they've been at this for a long time they came in around the issue of propaganda they studied how to create hot buttons for the american people they had this experience when they were getting
2:51 am
the american people to get excited about central america back in the one nine hundred eighty s. . and they've been applying those same strategies ever since they were dedicated to achieving their goals they still want to get rid of certain governments they want a regime change in syria for instance regime change in iran. very skilled at this and they have a lot of allies now inside the news media inside the government means the. they can do a lot to control the narrative of any story so i think in america these days we have somehow told ourselves that there are a lot of ways of dealing with these problems other than hard power blabber putin cares about hard power the neoconservatives can now demonize a leader of a country that sells with the american people so you don't just sort of argue a policy you attack the leader so the neoconservatives became very skilled at picking out leaders finding their ugly traits and then highlighting them you had
2:52 am
a co bitch you might say was a rather clunky political leader but you make him into a devil he is he's totally corrupt and he's evil and he wants to kill people in the made in these wonderful white headed demonstrators so you get a black cat versus white hat and then you keep repeating that basic scenario and it works with the american people and got to realize what lattimer putin is he's an old k.g.b. colonel it wants to restore the russian empire you make them into demons and the american people find that the way they can understand the world once that happens it's very difficult for a journalist or anyone else to say you know hold it that guy he's got more of a great happen a white hat or a black at and if you say that you suddenly or you're unico which apologist for europe putin apologist and and then the attacks come on to the person saying it the journalist the academic or whoever. any good director will tell you that tempo and rhythm are the most essential components to hold an audience's attention
2:53 am
. some are you know will get pretty mean you know with my them since they all of you must you suck it out of the news of. the chest to mobile you. can also be called a method of betrayal when the allies and followers are relentlessly thrown into the revolutionary flame. the idea is simple when the preparation. work is done the trigger just needs to be full the second machine into full motion. the murder of politician ruffy courier e led to the cedar revolution. looking back at the mysterious poisoning of viktor yuschenko right before the orange revolution of two thousand and four we see now that he became a sacred victim himself. most political analysts believe the compassion of the ukrainian people at that moment tilted the scales giving him the presidency.
2:54 am
the number of victims among the protesters during your oh my done totalled over one hundred they are called to the heavenly hundred all the sacred victims were immediately mythologized. the beating of students on november thirtieth two thousand and thirteen was the obvious trigger of your own my done those who sent trained provocateurs to the square very well realised that peaceful protesters were the ones who would get hurt the most. it's hard to keep protests going for months on end tension subside and people inevitably get tired. holidays are also a big danger for revolutionary masterminds people want to be home with their families and friends and one needs to get inventive to keep people in a cold tent city.
2:55 am
on christmas day of two thousand and thirteen tabloid journalist and political want to be taught the on a chart of all was chosen to become the tool to whip the protests on my don back up a civic activist in journalist known for investigating corruption among senior officials was beaten outside. trains capitol on christmas. her heroic deeds as a reporter looked more like petty crimes trespassing on the presidential residence of victory on a covert each leading the rioting crowd to seize the key of city administration building breaking into a car of the security service of ukraine it looked like tatyana was more interested in making news than reporting it and gaining name recognition that could be turned into votes for her struggling political career in the opposition party fatherland
2:56 am
she gave the world media a christmas present in two thousand and thirteen when she was cruelly beaten by unknown assailants on the road despite the fact that in just three days all the suspects were arrested and confessed to beating tatyana during a road rage incident world media kept insisting upon the political background of the crime instantaneously tatyana became a heroic martyr uniting people around her image the beating coming and the political turmoil in ukraine this is drawn if protests your own my done was once again center stage and tatyana in less than two months after the assault she was already healthy enough to attack the office of party of regions the party a victory on a covert each letter to the zealots much in the people in my neck to look at this in a disability which in my view is they got it because it was like this group is the first one of the staff member sixty five year old i.t. specialist of lattimer's a hot of was killed during the attack. so where is tatyana now
2:57 am
well she finally got her position of power in the new government. one month later the time for another act in the play came armenian ukrainian protester sir gagne go on was one of the first to arrive at my don he wasn't radical or violent but instead naive and full of hope. watching surrogate read a patriotic poem is like watching a casting tape. for the role of a sacred victim lead to simple money the most common solicitousness. mortises. unfortunately sergei got the part betrayed by his brothers in arms this video would eventually go viral after sergei was killed early in the morning of january twenty second two thousand and fourteen the circumstances of his death remain unknown to this day even though the whole area of
2:58 am
protests was heavily filmed at that time there were no records or witnesses to help the investigation and his body was moved immediately from the scene of the crime. sergei became the first killed martyr of your own my don and in a heartbeat the police officers were appointed as his killers almost two years later the official investigation would still deliver no results now it is widely believed that nico yon's murder was staged by provoke a tourist to escalate the conflict. god speaks to people with the language of signs on january twenty sixth two thousand and fourteen hope francis prayed for ukraine addressing thousands of people at st peter's square in vatican city p.d. . paid speeches. after the prayer to white doves were released from the papal window and were immediately attacked by
2:59 am
a crow and siegel those who understand the language could easily read the meaning of this ailment soon great forces the siegel and the crow would be tearing apart two slavic nations the white doves this omen gave hope to the ukrainian people saying that by god's will the doves would be saved but it also predicted severe hardship and many victims. the events which could enter into the history of the color revolutions as the most massive human sacrifice yet arrived right on schedule one month later. told weeks this european topical has been the scene of a violent uprising. today but you're still yet the protesters are pushing up towards the government district arms here with molotov cocktails that we saw and shotguns to. there are casualties on both sides that it would take.
