5:00 am
around the house. the 2nd 2 weeks. where you know explosives started coming in they were trading at and they needed me to translate maybe the 1st member of the americas it's just the whole firefight. on that particular morning different entities had. information that all saying to be pointing to the same place a suspected bomb building. so. the multi-functional team went out. to the little. this compound was sort of isolated. first rate outside the door beside it like a shower stall. they told me to stand there to kind of make sure nobody comes through. to the afghan
5:01 am
nationals agree that they're going to walk in the door and they're going to learn to talk these guys out well as soon as they step through the entrance of the door they were cut down by such. fallen selection. and then what i've described is play on dodgeball with hand grenades hand grenades just came flying over the wall. one of the 2 days this leader made. it and i think there was a debate thrown inside the house. and something just exploded beside. i got tossed i don't know 2 or 3 metres back. i got up and that's been the last my left eye and my right eye was pretty badly damaged.
5:02 am
and helicopters and airplanes started me. just waiting to be. 3500 pound bombs and dead center of that compound. gradually the guys started treating this as. today and things became quiet we moved down a little closer so we had a little bit quicker reaction time that they needed us guys start hearing breaking news that they were streaming and showing and. i got scared i was thinking what should they do which they didn't know what to do. so i was just going to throw this canadian baby just scare them away. and i just remember being. dumbstruck that there was somebody alive and that after all that bombing after all
5:03 am
the war that's that we dropped in there somebody was still alive and. one was shot and killed immediately. after throwing the hand grenade. then i think on or turn the corner or was shooting at the 4th i think and split when they won and. so he threw a hand grenade. i probably shouldn't even talk about it nobody claims to have seen me through the aid. and this soldier has you know i testified that i was under that debris and they couldn't have seen me so i always hold to the hope that you know i mean my memories were not truth. i
5:04 am
reach down the move debris there's dead bodies land there. the body on top and gaping holes in the chest. and you can see down into the chest cavity and. this is all we think this one might be alive. the soldiers came in and they put me on the ground. see there are some rules to war. anyone when now become your responsibility so this wounded combatant person child terrorist calling what you will you have to treat them in accordance. with or said in perfect english just kill me now and then someone else replied.
5:05 am
no you're going to live to tell all. i wish i could say i felt compassion for prisoners at that time i really didn't they were the enemy and that's the way it is and that's how it has to be you know it's very easy for people who've never been to or say oh you have to know you know you can't. the 1st time i saw him or he was really bad off he had a really large hole his chest so it was just you know. he had shrapnel all over his face. i don't know how he lived through it he was really gone. a soul stitching all over his body and he looked like. an autopsy had been performed on what he was a life or i was 15 and marrow. was really creepy
5:06 am
a look like some horrible went down there. people would fit me scream at me quoting the murder of calling him a killer calling the scum bag they said that he was responsible for the death of an american soldier so they were filled with hatred and they would tie me up to the bed. taking him out of the cell getting him. while his hands the shackled while he's got all these blooms and his shoulder on his chest to lift up crates of water. pile them up kick them down again and make him palm up again and again. you could hear people screaming all the time. and then a guy would go for a few days and hear screaming screaming screaming and then he would come back. just . destroy person so you can only. imagine what happened to him. they always call me the monster driver very loud voice
5:07 am
and you know i was basically yelling and throwing furniture around or going in there and performing a stage play in this is the character you have to be well you know i'm going to be that. he had a lot of tattoos that people that he did interior interrogate would come and tell me or stories. they were using stress positions the most common was to have them on their knees with their back straight but off their heels and their hands straight up in the air it's pretty painful your knees start really hurt your whole body hurts and. blows to the stomach slaps to the face trix in the ribs covered a mortar had a mixed really cold. situations just don't control the shaking of whole body doing everything but threatening them and then force a miracle gro on to let their minds take over. he come back tired exhausted. dazed. he was shaken very clearly by the
5:08 am
interrogations. he's just a child who's mind that played with. sexual. abusers. who were drugged. in the late. order aborted darks sleep terror ation music it's just. they thought the whole book. the most tranquil i would see him was when he'd sit and read the koran with a voice that is almost or double just enough that he doesn't get punished. it put the rest of us to shame because people are always trying to complain about something while the other i never saw this but complain. i remember just looking out of a nose the 1st time i ever really had any of the moral contemplation of how just
5:09 am
a war is that this happens to a child that he gets wrapped up in something like this. in the criteria to go to guantanamo i was speaking a western which. some general somewhere decided that hey if this big a western language well there are was way above my pay grade that was decided at a near one of those things that again i thought it was ridiculous but it was my job and hey sorry you got a good want on i'm out. there with our shave their heads completely shaved to beards burn their uniforms that they're wearing there was and put them into these blue jumpsuit. and then they would get these goggles that had green duct tape on the helps a lot of them put those on they would put their money for a rifle range over their ears. open mitts on their hands and then there would be double shackled on the hands going around the rim waist and legs shirt
5:10 am
a long way sure of course and then they would put them on that was c 130 or c. 17 and they were cargo strap the prisoners to the floor but anchor 100 back. for a while here in beirut doing to. their arm on most dangerous. best trained best killers on the face of the earth. terrorists there bob makers there are members of al qaeda the taliban and i think i know for certain is that these are bad people. there was nobody who sounded proud of having him in custody and it was always something that if you speaking to an interrogator who didn't like you it was
5:11 am
something you could get back with that other than the octogenarians that you have in custody you also got children like i'm a father and if he's in custody being treated this way and he's from a and neighborly allied nation like canada what hope do the rest of these people have . and this one guard in guantanamo he would go out of his way just to humiliate me tell you guys me he was just trying to get me to do something cursed mean you know insult me. and he was really getting under my skin. then i fight to know i want to know who that guy is. you know i'm going to stand up in the window and wait for him and know who he is so i can get back to him the next i get an opportunity and i just stood up at the door and i'm waiting and then i was thinking you know if i knew who that person is i'm going to out him. i'm giving him
5:12 am
more power of myself i'm giving him a place in myself that he doesn't deserve. he's not worth me caring. we can all imagine what this guy is going through the thing is if a person can inflict pain on another person and find pleasure in that. person must be going through a lot of problems like mental problems i don't know how he lives with this clue just so. he's probably even the worst pain the. thing is causing me it's temporary i'm going to be frustrated for a little bit but he's the one who's going to have to deal with this conscious later . you want to talk or somebody. don't they so. right there when you go back to challenge. well it's not anything like that.
5:13 am
i had about a young canadian cute who was detained abroad but there was not much information about 5 i wanted to do something. i was just so offended the law could be so some thought. is oh it is it is. not all. it is it is there are very busy very. you know there's no money to live a really well she you know my daughter but i mean you're very good medical care. you're not here. i was keen to see omar kind of this young kid i had been fighting for for years and then i walk into the sound. and i see this boy sitting on the edge of
5:14 am
a bed and this was cooled with no windows there were no blankets and the bed making a prisoner such as zoom out uncomfortable was part of the program. and he was twitching all over 2. and i just thought it was so incredibly wrong it was you know a young child to be locked away in a coal. gloomy said but it was chained to a floor and moved like some throws and he had tried broken but i. remember thurston. really. everything is just a general memory gone time with just you can i can tell you about it period but i
5:15 am
can see it wouldn't be a go terms you would see in the floor. you'd be locked in this is just a complete earning th song done. and. and i often thought how do you. how do you propose that because i get claustrophobic. i don't know what would have happened to me if i was close to full rich. and soon i was leaving i think i don't want to. be back and then you said anybody least. i think in the beginning. he's he's here also me. and then i have. just another person you know. every i don't think you'll come come in touch with us.
5:16 am
including your father i told you i think it but you know something that they cure visits. they were very interesting though they were very good and they were very hard at the same time. because you know i was interested in i get adjusted to the life i know what i can expect i know it's going to have been and then you come in kind of reminding me of what i don't have. a lot of if carried a to end a big am to end a big am to end.

5:21 am
ever this 3 days after he canceled peace talks with the taliban over the killing of a u.s. soldier those are the headlines a full news hour after the 2nd half of witness. orders. of the 1st few years in one ton of i was just all over the place more schumi and. ideologically it was just a mess i would be around a bunch of people outside acting like and talking like then they're just doing everything they're doing and then they'd move me to a different place and i have to adapt to the new air neighborhood. or
5:22 am
their services or. they have surpassed. all of us as physicians particular psychiatrist and is senior officers get too much experience with people who are highly manipulative so i ask myself when i met omar where's the manipulation not if there is a manipulation where's the manipulation you don't get. why you care but i want a lot of the almost all of those ah yes. i thought busy of this all it was yes there was. will always realized. already a very. you know busy .
5:23 am
as he was being questioned by the americans he was of course given water to train. but that he was not allowed to urinate and he had to have some point felt that he was going to splatter was going to burst and he was told to head to urinate on the floor and then after urinated on the floor he was told well now he had to clean it up bad he was not given towels or allowed to take his shirt off but they had to in fact sort of roll around it to clean up the urine on the floor and that's what has been described as the human. and i just couldn't believe what had happened to. you know out here so here's
5:24 am
a young man younger than my own children who's been there at that point for 6 years. but 3 days a week or i say. tell me something that you help me that you show my government your will even help us against a group of people who are bent on doing bad things she looks. like. but i want to live just point helen right here only. everybody recognized the prisoners and the soldiers those who are true to themselves those who are true understood that there are all rules. of children at war that the american military and everybody else is supposed to study and know we have over 1200 american soldiers killed in afghanistan.
5:25 am
i'm a 15 year old boy. from about. when these guys went to camp and they were making smores and learn how to tie knots they're learning how to make bombs and kill americans of course he defended himself he just did not give any you know why i thought they would vidia simple kids but it turned to be the at once if you were in that situation would you have done. i have the last drop of blood for want of me to you know that he didn't want to wipe for 4 hours 3 of his friends were with him and been killed use the only sole survivor what did you expect him to do when any kind of fire for happens anybody who's still standing is fair game because anybody who's not taking part in it's going to have cover when it's a war you're shooting at him why did he shoot at you if you kill 3 why can't he kill one many why is it why does nobody say you killed 3 of his friends the one
5:26 am
does everybody say he killed an american soldier and we're going to hold terrorists accountable when they kill american military forces he's a terrorist when i took the job i came into it believing the whole worst of the worst montra you'll see evidence when we get into the courtroom of the smiling face of omar kotter you know as he builds bombs to you have children merican is. first 18 years there is the one member. and i just took it as being fact until he no one got into more and you know witnesses started talking. i heard different fares you know what happened. the last time just for over a week. though is my memory more accurate a soldier who was. actually there. are one side over. that person or
5:27 am
the other side. said it does make a difference. it's a mockery of justice. we had to think spin from start to finish. no evidence of torture was committed. there was a visitor of any defense. in order to conclude this is a rigged system. i think you have to infer that the president the congress neema prosecutors the judge the jury the convening authority the court a military commission to review the d.c. circuit court of appeals and the u.s. supreme court are all corrupt i felt like mickey mouse disney world you know they wanted to call this military justice having a 2nd rate process. and so in order to call it military somebody had to put on the costume. the joke we used to make was that yeah to lose to win because if you get charged as a war criminal and convicted with
5:28 am
a room with 7 people that have been convicted and sentenced 5 of the 7 aren't kuantan a mono so if you actually get charged and convicted as they were criminal you've got a 5 in 7 chance of going home. if you're never charged with a crime you could spend the rest of your life sitting in guantanamo which is extraordinarily. ironic i persuaded oman to plead guilty to take a deal and wanted one of his 1st thoughts was the canadian public will believe i'm a terrorists and i said to him you know if he don't do it to me you spend the rest of your life here. but i was the only way out. which i decided twice and both times they just suspended it. so i knew that i was never going to be charged in a magical missions the only way to get my case resolved to take
5:29 am
a plea deal e.g. use one you know one time when the rest to come back to canada there's no injustice that was done up until 2010 when we went down there for trial and offered a plea bargain that might have been an injustice because that was what i felt was a political decision they did not want him to be the 1st one they did most of the guantanamo child was the 1st one he has i think well for ever be a murderer. a you get my children my entire family home or carter is a well known supporter of the al qaida terrorist network and a convicted terrorist. the carter family was viewed as canada's 1st family of terror and no one was really rallying to bring him home.
5:30 am
for a family is their very opinionated and that's not always a smart thing. they've said things that there. was not a very smart there that they should have said well if you didn't go and meet kids on the street well nothing to do with andy and the only delay to die in your bed to die is he as a martyr yeah he answered and i know. you've been a symbol very very simple 98 it's have it have it you know i mean one time i'm all for 20 years and if there is any place where i was going to be brainwashed was in guantanamo where i only had. only one source and florence and that was not necessarily their healthiest and i think i did ok here i live in canada my family is only one 3rd of and 4 and. 5 but i
5:31 am
have a 1000000 other influence so all i don't think people should worry about my family if anybody's going to be. affected i think they may be affected by the truth of that their. i hope so any race his notoriety or his fame or infamy what do you want to call it in kuantan a mole is one that's been created for him by those who are holding him he didn't do it himself he's nothing he's really done in incarceration in custody that has made his case more prominent than anybody else's his circumstances of what what's made that happen and his treatment and who he was when it started i.e. a being a child the child who grew into a man in kuantan a man knows nothing other than that you know you raise your children to own up to what they do you accept responsibility for it ask forgiveness and
5:32 am
we don't conduct ourselves that way as a country and that's really just bewilders me. there's a saying that's attributed to gandhi is through our suffering they're going to see the error of their ways through our injustice they'll see the error of their ways and their words through mars' and justice that definitely i started to see there if you wish to know it was definitely here or to help me in that sense in the sense of regaining my humanity was was partially because of him i guess i want to thank him for that. after a decade long legal battle all marred catterick is back in canada. this whole transfer has been quite a shock to my system at least in guantanamo all he had some come of camaraderie from fellow muslims. and the long road to ride on canadian soil. there's an attempt to stab him you know have interest then i was able to negotiate
5:33 am
his transfer to reverence and since he's arrived in edmonton his wife has been missing. this course of prednisone just. percent but i have never met anybody who's been so abused and so abandoned by so many we should know better than omar khadr. if this guy came up to me and he told me he killed a soldier and my family in the military and i'm going to punch you. there was a mistake on my door that opened that chance i have seen the face. i try not to on the past. it was either that. or. be. you know who calls to in aid and misery and think of how bad life is but that's not going to get me anywhere i tried to think about things that
5:34 am
will hopefully make my life and hopefully the life of the people around me better. one more quick thing out to the families to be with you for a long time. and i really appreciate it. for the last 11 years. for what you guys is not to give me a pretty good feel very good very. good good night. the problem with what i'm saying is people are just going to think that i am ph. you know you go through a struggle you go through a trauma you're going to be bitter you're going to hate some people it's just a normal thing to do and this guy i'm not having. he's naturally emotions it's probably hiding something it's exciting and weird and he's just trying to find his new balance a zone of it will be i'm sure it will be great for him to have a chat with here hey you had. a sister that's.
5:35 am
one time did you get to see him you know like for it. i. i could have stayed up all the. as that are so i still feel that i want freedom why i can just go on i'm tempted to see how far i can go without sleep to. jolt clearly you've done that once before years ago it's not a good thing because her father was the difference i seriously. how much too much of the oh you well know i was never normally thought course it's a list of some of the. place to go before you know i sent it to me breakfast really not very much so this is a really big they never asked me to use it to be the secret to get. you know my
5:36 am
stuff tell me the stereotype if you know. what. i've. been reading through forever. if it's your for good you know you know at 10 o'clock on a few ish rock that means you've got to be to bed by 10 o'clock. blues album. does. not go out so somebody says complained i hear they're going to we're not feeding you enough not going to be sad about it 3 when you see my wife. you feel you don't hunger strike. just look here is the most dangerous and sorry i'm sorry. there are no secrets here.
5:37 am
it's just that both the things you just go right but. i have to plug it in closely 24 hours for 2 hours. but every get around to. various i play it here and there and this is who i was really up close to it. it's sort of leslie guest 1st for that side of the interest you just heard a. little about your fear that you day. i don't wish people to love me i don't wish people to hate me i just wish for people to just keep tabs. in though i don't like the big list of the. a lot of ways so luisa had.
5:38 am
been the custom to just stay on the. same thing they had. him in guantanamo. buildings are very close so when you look up there's always a building around somewhere so i almost forgot how to list the sky was very low it's getting larger. i would like to be given the chance i spent i don't know i don't. i've done 13 years and. police is here. if the cops are here they're going to want me to stand out there. so my son.
5:39 am
well could. begin to do what they're sure we show the best earth hope is that there are things going to go very well and i guess just to reassure us well they're served by. not sure how you're feeling. your experiences but we are here to help so if we go away for a week's holiday i'm just and don't do the job well not without food it's makes it easy to go rice where someone is less than friendly or you do encounter some issues with worms there are some problems that come up please do let us know and we can hope you noticed as best we can arrange for a 100 people listen call for you we're here to work with us from charlotte smith and harder to you thank you very much like this like today all right thank you thank you they're just taking it to far it's good luck thank you. for the longest time. buddy is that i wish that i could just get out of
5:40 am
prison and the next door on the street who nobody knows. nobody gives a steak and. that would be. discarded yeah i'm sure you know how to make it oh yeah sure my worst interest to know you already you go love something in my life i love so. what do you. that's abstract i don't have anything. mature this ticket like i like goodness i like. peas things like happiness i like doing so abstract ideas. i'm still new in the material world. and i have to figure out what other people have you had to write to be
5:41 am
international usually out i like people those are beautiful things either. to support my. room in a different room then as. i would into wish this extreme as an anybody but i have a hard time thinking about wishing that i haven't gone through this experience that people today say happy fairy cliff you can go back would you change anything i would change you know the firefight mary but within that teens a lot of things that i've come to know wonderful people i've come to know myself because of this experience. and it's a very hard trade for me. but things happen for a reason and sometimes you have to fall. to be able to
5:42 am
appreciate standing upright it's been an incredible journey routinely in this since just. it's just the beginning. this guy's not going to resist. the you know he's a card or these guys are stubborn streak and. you know that's what give me. so that's one of the basic skills i went to learn a startup in my window. my
5:43 am
problem right now is i'm trying to do everything all at the same time. i don't know if i'm worried or are sometimes just they were in that it's not going to just going to to experience everything. that's. in a few days. call down and start taking thing is a little bit slow or. try to enjoy. is the small things around. the effects of the incarceration i don't think they manifested in day to day life they manifested at night when you're alone with your thoughts and then they will come rushing back when you know i'm busy and that's when it happens and it still happens. from time to time the effect of that.
5:44 am
but most people don't get to see that. i think the market would might be quite different because. for a significant portion of life i think probably not the majority of his life he'd be more present in the not so he will require a great deal most of what i know this is real but. being living christian for 12 years or 13 years and i've been carrying myself in that particular way for that long. and it's going to take some. of a not too long to get a some time to go kind of ease up and. the guard down. no one of those days of jumping to the bed or crawl under the bed ready and just cram as a. hello
5:45 am
again it's good to have you back we're here across parts of australia the big problem over the last few days and couple of weeks has been the wildfires that have been burning across parts of queensland as well as new south wales now we are to drought situation and the temperatures are on the rise many locations have actually lost water in some of the reservoirs making it very difficult to put out some of

now some bits had been leaked a few weeks ago but this is the official release reading through it as i'm sure you've done over the past 2 hours anything that we didn't know that we hadn't heard before well i think one of the most striking things about this as you said some of the information and this was leaked to the sunday times a number of weeks ago the government were very quick to dismiss this as being the kind of worst case scenario they said that this was out of date and that they had been working since then to try and mitigate for these problems now as you said a monday they were forced by parliament to publish these interesting lee they have changed the title on these documents from the base scenario which is what it said to the sunday times to the reasonable worst case scenario and today they have they have come out and said that these are again things they're working to mitigate not an expected outcome but so if you notice they say that what was leaked was out of
5:52 am
date who actually put this together was at the previews it to reason is government that actually put this document one assumes in its original form together yes the government are saying that these are this is analysis put together prior to the previous government but that is still currently the kind of base standard that they are working from but that they are planning to release further documents in the next couple of weeks based on updated planning and having else but obviously there are very significant effects that have been in these documents that they simply can't have worked to mitigate you know you know for years i've been told that a lot of this was project fear by remaining is that you know it was going to be that bad but i suppose now that because this is all about a no deal breck's it and now it does seem to be. maybe more or less realistic an option because in the scottish courts actually one of the at the highest court in scotland has said that what boris johnson did by perogue ing by suspending parliament was actually a lawful so what does that do to the possibility of
5:53 am
a new deal breaks it which presumably might make some of these scenarios a reality so we expect that this case that was decided ruled unlawful in the scottish courts is going to go to the u.k. supreme court and choose the of next week now lawyers in england an english court system say that there is no chance that this will be upheld scotland england have different legal systems and something can be unlawful in the scottish system and then lawful in the english system so ultimately i don't think the legal case is going to overturn the suspension of parliament but already tonight we have seen opposition m.p.'s furious at what is in these documents saying that it's ridiculous that they are being blocked from being able to scrutinise the government properly questions to ministers about the contents of these documents because parliament is corrupt it is of course no deal breaks it is what 67 weeks of their yes what do you think that this you know this document was released
5:54 am
a few hours ago it's quite late in the evening here in london but tomorrow morning what do you think the public reaction will be to this i think at this point we're so entrenched i still think the government and ministers they're already coming out to try and water the stone to say we we're working on something new already and the other side are furious we're going to end up with this continued argument of project fear and project reality but there's elements of this i think will genuinely worry people specifically things about medicine shortages about food prices going up electricity prices going up crucially for the political situation the discussion about ireland is fascinating we've heard repeatedly that the government have said they will not institute. border on the island of ireland even in the event of a new deal but this planning document from the government says that the situation would be unsustainable after just a couple of days because of the political pressure you know this is
5:55 am
a really serious moment now for the negotiations as well it is indeed john johnston political reporter from politics home thank you so much for trying to i guess the clarify so far as we can this situation thank you and as we were just saying a scottish court has ruled that the u.k. prime minister a suspension of parliament was a lawful judge just said that boris johnson's intention was to restrict parliament critics insist the suspension was a cynical ploy to shut down the bait about breaks it johnson has vowed to take the u.k. out of the e.u. by the 31st of october a little over 2 weeks after parliament is meant to reconvene while the government says it is a feeling the scottish ruling at the u.k. supreme court trying to hold reports. opposition parties say it's a strong and important judgment while downing street has described it as disappointing a unanimous verdict by a 3 judge panel in scotland's highest court has found that on the question of prorogue in parliament boris johnson did act illegally motivated it said by the
5:56 am
improper purpose of stymieing parliament each opinion expresses the view that the advice given by the government to her majesty the queen to prove parliament for months of timber to 14th was unlawful and that therefore the prohibition itself is unlawful this is all provoked a storm of controversy with opposition parties demanding the immediate recall of parliament some m.p. suggesting boris johnson should resign with deliberately misleading the queen but the government is resisting both calls saying it wants to wait for the outcome of an appeal to the supreme court over there just across parliament square the pro gay tional parliament the government insists it's perfectly standard practice to bring to a close one parliamentary session in this case historically long and to open a brand new one with a new set of legislative priorities that we have a court seeing that the predication of parliament was unlawful that it's nolen for
5:57 am
eat it so it seems to me that the prime minister the government should immediately cease the unlawful predication and we call parliament immediately well of course the government will say that that they won't act on the scottish reading alone that's disappointing bit predictable in the light of how they conduct themselves but the supreme court will consider these matters next week and on what they say will be shortly in the supreme court will in fact be considering 2 appeals the other against a decision by the english high court but it found in boris johnson's favor on the question of whether he'd abused his power in suspending all eyes then on this building next week with the government for the moment it seems can. turned to see what happens. still to come on al-jazeera this news hour condemnation and anger over benjamin netanyahu has planted an explosive the jordan valley will have reaction from the palestinians who live there back home in
