eyelids with that. right now new new one will walk to eye. i got one artsy. the u s senators are investigating one c i a detention and interrogation program the white house continues to withhold thousands of documents about an hour to find program. so why the secrecy latest on that hand. eonmobil ohio officials have put a halt if ranking officials made the decision after a series of earthquakes rattled the buckeye state. so all the breaks. hi def racking more on that coming up. for us eating and get now common practice among many

detainee is who went on strike. now quasi discounting the contract has been banging on the strikers. but it is torture. one that lawsuit and gitmo there. a new. thursday marks. i want. i read a bit and watching our team era. oh my housemate have played a larger role than once thought a dispute between the c i a and the senate intelligence committee. according to a new report put out by mcclatchy newspapers the obama administration has been withholding about ninety four hundred documents at the senate intelligence committee requested as part of its review of a former c i a detention and interrogation program. over the course of the investigation the white house has repeatedly teasing reportedly ignored or rejected multiple requests from the beach with you those

documents. yesterday president obama said that he supports the committee's investigation experts say. we have worked with the senate committees so that the report that they are putting forward is well informed and what i said is that i'm absolutely committed to be classifying that report as soon as the report is completed. so then one of the demons the that's the way none that much more i was joined earlier by matthew kelly drew vehicle fell at the bill of rights defense committee for assassinate this and find that the white house was involved and stonewalling the investigation. one could certainly draw that conclusion yet. what's interesting is that senator dianne feinstein actually made no mention of these documents during her senate speech. and when she called out this enda for stonewalling other documents on the s senator dianne feinstein of course is a democrat you think it's all at all possible that einstein is protecting the white house here. i think it's entirely

possible and in. the jesus didn't mean the rest of this conflict really comes around territory. you have the sense like committee on intelligence really focused on just that for intelligence surveillance court in its oversight of the ca concert with their assets at the white house conservatives priorities in each branch is protecting its own turf. and so in these things come into conflict with the seats certain figures began to erupt and in what is ordinarily a harmony between intelligence agencies that today finds that could be protecting the white house while the same time trying to get at the doctors that they requested from this day. it seems like it's all going to unravel very shortly. i wanna take a closer look at what feinstein said yesterday because she didn't end up receiving speech but take a listen to a portion of that workaholic. or recognition c i a surge of computers used by an oversight committee. what an

appropriate. the site of the constitutional implications. the ci search may also have violated the fourth amendment the computer fraud and abuse act as well as an executive order twelve triples three since the signs and say she is looking for an apology for this date inappropriate behavior. you think you know violating the fourth amendment warrants more than an apology. yes i do think that by leaving them with men is absolutely worth more than an apology and said you know the ability to get recompense from the cia is going to be extraordinarily limited on the part of progress in the senate. and you know the grand irony all this is that instead of accountability which is why citizens are demanding from feinstein the foreign intelligence surveillance court of the across the country to do in california right with which the wishes of representatives she doesn't ask for accountability. she asks for

an apology as it is somehow a personal slight. instead it is laid against the constitutional protections guaranteed as american citizens for whom this report concerns was the theme of accountability a nice and say that's a director john brennan has denied that these allegations are true but if the c i a is found to be in the wrong here when all this is said and done do you think john brennan shy or perhaps even would be held accountable should absolutely wanted. i think it's anybody's guess you know this is not at first i was gay. tonight a major transaction the extraordinary rendition. i see a black sites. they deny the actual abuse torture the first place which is now well documented so these days the nihilist meaningless essentially will he face accountability is a different question when you have people like dr who has no bald faced lie to congress for an nsa over reaches. i think it's unlikely that the director the caa will be held accountable it should be up to these types of

transactions because we're seeing now added that at this level. accountability is not something that can be afforded the peoples of the ordinary processes of the senate. brian wells said sen feinstein siege a number of people including at her snout and have come out to see the senator from voicing opposition to this gaga's spying the senate staffers and such yet pleasing so poor for the nsa is a sign of ordinary americans you know we've known that she's been a proponent of the nsa spying for a very long time. do you think that's a valid critique it's absolutely a valid critique and you know that the layer underneath the layer under the names of speech is that the essays activities are creatures of the obama administration guess whose activities were shifted policy away from foreign conflict away from war or towards john strikes with the evolution of an ever increasing surveillance tape that sort of we the kids in the obama doctrine of the c i a menace as they relate to

that torture torture programs run by the caa are part of what you might be called bush doctrine. so when you look at his political plans. it makes sense that feinstein will post yea. beach with sport and they overreach because the clerk locations are just trying on our calendar no legal fellow at the bill of rights defense committee thanks for weighing in. adam while the birthplace haven't seriously stop one ohio county in the span of just two days and now the ohio department of natural resources is awarded the oil and gas firm that's drilling wells nearby to cease its operations on investigation is carried out. so what does all of this half to do with tracking rt scary and boring explains chris murray played in the morning counting ohio this week triggering the ohio state department of natural resources to order a halt on tracking operations near the tremor sites. on monday and tuesday five small earthquakes between him and two to one point two when bree play now one in a plane and scale were recorded

there were no damages or injuries but nearby towns. oh the shakes. coke or energy is the only company with tracking operations near the earthquake sites which is producing oil and natural gas at utica shale. although the increased oil and gas drilling in central southern us have been tied to an increase in the number of earthquakes in the region there is no evidence to show that i drop fracturing is actually the pots. when i spoke with the dnr they said were halting operations and so we know for sure. what's the cries of the earthquakes tracking is a procedure that includes drilling deep into the art been checking barton out the water and chemical waste the industry claims to be benign into the dense rock formation to create fracture is that allow for oil and natural gas to flow out of the broth to be extracted but as the second part of the process of scientists have type two earthquakes in the past. during the fracturing process about two thirds of the water and

cracking through its rights to the circus state of ohio work wires that wastewater be injected back into the air via injection wells as the process has been done since the eighties and occasionally teaches the pressure underground this can make own sled and cards from earthquakes covered the court has no injection wells in poland ohio near the earthquake recorded sightings. when the dnr order to help or energy to hold tracking operations only one other seven wells in the area was producing oil and natural gas work has halted tracking and development and this time production in the utica shale began just three years ago in two thousand eleven according to the ohio department of natural resource is there about two hundred forty five wells in the utica shale for new thing about a billion dollars worth of natural gas and oil a year hydraulic fracturing has contributed to the magazine's recent build an oil production to countries on the path to be the largest

oil producer in twenty fifty units according to the international energy agency in paris. cutting the country's need for foreign oil. in washington d c kerry and boring for tea ukrainian prime minister arson me nuts and yup address the united nations security council today regarding the situation in crimea residents of the region are gearing up to participate in a historic vote that would allow them to decide if the region should become a part of russia in response president obama said the us would completely rejects the outcome of the boat. if the election goes ahead on sunday. for more on the latest let's cut our cheese marine up or deny an hour the studio summary not and you've been following at the security council meetings dancing and just wrapped up his address at what he had to say. ukraine's appointed prime minister mr yes you can address the members of the security council he spoke in the english accusing russia of violating the sovereignty and

territorial integrity of his country. he also called on russia to withdraw its forces allied to the barracks forces of course he's referring to him and cried me up he said that he is willing to being deeds of wheat rice and diplomatic dialogue to help resolve the crisis tie in the ukraine. he actually switched over to speaking russian fur to have a few minutes when addressing five the russian ambassador stature can buy it directly but he did not continue making the same accusations that he's been making up for the past few past few weeks actually a pointing finger at russia for saying that russia is to clean up with a crisis that is instilling in ukraine how did the act council members respond to that address. well add that to be honest here are a lot of the ag and un ambassadors within the security council putting a lot of pressure on russia we do know the u s investors many of the european investors are siding with that ukraine's

appointed prime minister many of them also reiterated the calls that were made by mr gets a new high asking russia to help de escalate the crisis emu creek calling on russia to help us stop or even not acknowledge the referendum in crimea that his plan to add to take place on sunday. heidi say that many ambassadors to the accused russia of nineteen nineteen by the conflict for not playing a role in helping resolve the conflict as we know of russia does not see the situation the same way that the usa and many of the european countries which have been aligned with ukraine's opposition from mines had been seen that doubt crisis way. i knew we'd obviously heard a lot from obama and carried the u s crude clearly does not want this referendum to half and this sunday is there any chance they could get called off. well we don't know what the chances are we do know that the us secretary of state john kerry whelan will

be meeting with his russian counterpart sergei lavrov within the next twenty four hours i are both very oh well experienced diplomats it seems like they get on pretty well together and are able to communicate well with one another but when you it's clear that the us and russia do not see the prices in the new creed does seem a way to the us is not one eight knowledge of russia's position on it and what russia saying is taking place there that there are some numbers by up to date in the ukrainian opposition that are of the radical elements that i the russian minorities mercedes says the russian minorities living in ukraine on the iron arm are feeling pressure they're having breaks taken away from them there are valid concerns that russia has raised about the preteen places in the us it doesn't really seem to be acknowledging or taken as seriously as rochelle would like one more thing to mention that took place in the security council's that russian gas through to the un reminded all the members of the security council of

the day us and european support of kosovo unilaterally declared independence of violation of international law the us and europeans acknowledge that and i and shirt that said why is it ok for her cos of what to do something like that to determine the fate of a better future. but it's not ok for those living in crimea to do the same. alright marina fortnight out from the i word york studio things about reporting. chris is in ukraine will be part of the focus of politicking with larry king this evening when tonight's guest is former secretary of defense william cole and this led him to say about how president obama is handling the ukraine crisis i think he's trying to conduct himself with some dignity and. and not getting into the name calling. and this is something that we really have to stop because of name calling doesn't make us better make some smaller the satay of a substitute for policy and suddenly kissinger said is simply a mask for the absence of a policy. so stop the name calling and

continue to negotiate with the russians continue to talk to them. so ten at nine pm tonight here on rt america while the us has officially sent home in guantanamo bay detainee who had been held without trial for twelve years forty four year old made the box that became the first prisoner release from the pentagon detention center this year. this transfer takes a prisoner population down to one fifty four. in early two thousand when the bottom line to afghanistan and according to a beach miles received weapons training and a militant camp there soon after he fled to the sun bowl was the leader turned over to the united states nonetheless the model was cleared for release from gitmo in two thousand and seven. however he was among dozens of detainee is to remain stuck there all the obama administration's efforts to close down the detention center were stalls. the boxer returns algeria where he faces a twenty year sentence after being convicted by algeria on

terror related charges and while one man is being freed another is still fighting to go back to his home country of the yen and not have signed that has been held without charge and get most since two thousand to. though he was technically cleared for release in two thousand nine and that means he's been at guantanamo for twelve years. the sun has now become the first guantanamo bay prisoner to have his claims of abuse at the military base considered by a us court of law. as a long time on the second son says he has been force fed more than five thousand times and the last seven years. during that time period her attorneys say that conditions were abuse it and are considered a form of torture. a son's case presents the first legal move to be brought before civilian courts following last month's decision by a federal appeals court to allow this kind of challenge to move forward. as the first comprehensive hearing in the us judicial system over the legality of

force feeding. there's a lot at stake here. i was going to earlier by one of the waiters representing his case jon eisenberg i started out by asking john to talk about water to work which is a practice his clients as was used on hand the kitties who wanted closure. being in choking. hubby is achieved by a force in copious amounts of water or fluid into the stomach. in a short period of time because the sea. stomach and intestines to expand income balls for a painful way choking. this was also known as waterboarding. that is when water is poured over cloth into the map and causes a trapeze in taste and the feeling of drowning. and is not something your client in that house and i had experienced how would you describe his force feeding conditions. he is being used as water field prompting

rather than tolkien or waterboarding is not being water boarded. as far as we know he is being given the very large quantities of fluid through oversized nasal gastric feeding tubes in a short period of time perhaps two thirds of a gallon in craps thirty minutes twice a day. which is causing him considerable pain the people leave on the sky in the process. occasionally a sometimes fatally alas that is given to the detainees in conjunction with the liquid nutrient what causes them to dedicate time before a screening process. afterwards are held in a restraint chair for as much as two hours equally sitting in our own filth. lau. or talking about a man who was in force fed over five thousand times which is hard for anyone answer to wrap their heads around what the long term effects has a scan on his body or his health. more

generally. he is suffering from chronic pancreatitis. he is weak. one can only speculate as to psychological condition he's been sucked in to do's for. for seven years he is. enter a portion of discipline. and this whole bean the first case requiring a us judge to review again no prisoners and detail testimony describing the treatment. one how come they add is the prosecution seeking here. well not quite prosecution the initiative for it to us. the petitioner know what outcome is mr hassan seeking. he's basically seeking two things first. cc abusive techniques being used in this for speeding. we've been feeding tube in from time to time over a period of thirty to forty five days as is customary medical practice and slow down the forests being so that it doesn't

approach the form of abuse has been crafting since the middle ages. secondly he is also seeking to forestall the force feeding until it really necessary in federal prison system. hunger striking the detainees prisoners are not force fed until the imminent risk of death or great bodily injury mr hassan is asking for that as well. don't force feed him yet he is not dying gone for a speedy any of these detainees until it is absolutely necessary and if it is to be done to it in a humane fashion. these forced feedings are being employed not. the medical necessity but. two callers. these men from seizing a hunger strike to send this to be clear that al calm. it is the case if you guys won this case are only applied to the non husain. but as you know what kind of implications with

this half or other detainee is what an impact is immediately for them as well i believe it would and i believe it too it is hard for me to believe that if a court the term and scan in appellate court affirms that these men are being force fed a decently and cream and shirley said the government would stop but only for a team of the sun and would continue to command unconstitutional and internationally condemned practices upon all the others and i in conjunction with this news story were also learning that there are new guantanamo bay prison guidelines and described hunger strike and dt needs as undergoing a long term non religious found stand. so there are no longer categorizing. and then as hunger strikers. what's the rationale behind that. he did snuggle to figure it out as of last march

the regulations governing how to strike in guantanamo bay were information. the end of this past year in november and december. the government re drafted that the regulations called protocols are standard operating procedures company for a speeding at guantanamo bay have kept most of those rejected provisions secret. i have seen some of them. i am not permitted to see others of them. but what i have seen that decimated seated i cannot discuss in . what i can tell you about the revised code also publicly. this was an unreleased and redacted portions of the revised protocols. they are no longer just a hunger striking the address to. of weight loss detainees with weight loss. i believe the government since the hunger strike of last year has engaged embarked upon a new tactic of rebranding the hunger strike as nothing more then

unexplained weight loss they are no longer releasing the figures for how many people are hunger striking and being force fed. our understanding from the detainee is is currently thirty five of them or so our hunger striking at about sixteen of those are being force fed. but the government will not confirm or deny this they have decided and then the very orwellian twist to oppose the hunger strike by pretending it's not happening i am not the sun has been cleared for release. he's been cleared since two thousand nine the department of justice announced today that one of his spontaneous was released back to algeria what's the holdup in his son's release. we would have to ask president obama. i do not know the one that did the detainee who was released today was one of four detainees that commenced

the similar actions of the songs. last summer in which reprieve the uk and i were the lawyers on their behalf. two of those forty detainees have now been released. which is a very good thing. two of them remain at guantanamo bay as well as the mud house on hand at this point i believe about seventy four others roughly seventy five remain at guantanamo bay who have been cleared for release. why they have not been released yet. i don't know but it is the time is here all we do appreciate you coming on and breaking down this case jon eisenberg promo console forty nine has signed. late this afternoon received a statement from the pentagon regarding this matter it said eisenberg has no access to health records sell all kind of dumpy and mounds of paper used or the time it takes to deliver it is interesting but the relevant council usually

where lane the agenda of their clients is nothing you know what i can tell you is that the masses and ministered on the few at guantanamo. reply err they are both humane and necessary to preserve life. to sochi russia now where the paralympics has wrapped its seven day is a quick look at the medal count so far russia is currently in the lead with a total of fifty medals. i also have the most bronze silver and even gold medal wins and second places ukraine with fourteen total medals canada is in third with ten medals and the us is in four h fair followed by germany japan austria and france. today was the day of big wins in the men's ice sledge hockey semifinals. team russia won in a crushing defeat against norway in a surprising forty zero sweep. team russia will now go for the saturday final where he faced teen usa dominated can about with a score of three to zero. well
