time for now join me in less than fifteen minutes sun two can get more news from what site r.t. dot com slash business. in

the united kingdom she's available in the house bill and. the old waverly hotel they can also tell the. country house full of the full tongues. the creamy to feel. the oil the rubens hotel. are you watching. the cia it comes under fire as one of its operatives to court for minor offenses despite being one to ten at times.

one of five ships stranded in the frozen sea rushes follows coast between the waters. us finds that paying afghan when the show is to hold back taliban influence is not enough to buy their loyalty. as the u.s. ignores tera claims against iran it's put on trial for only minor charges or teen out in the spotlight on what barack handles people which it thinks are extremists. today i'm talking to courtney bush she's a paralegal for the human rights organization reprieve she looks into people detained in guantanamo bay and other cia detention facilities i'm talking to her on the occasion of the ninth anniversary of the printing of guantanamo bay called me bush thanks very much for talking to us now you've recently come back from

guantanamo bay tell me a bit about what you saw there what the conditions were like unfortunately we no longer meet the prisoners in the camps so we don't see the conditions in the camps any longer what we do is meet them in a separate. holding camp whereby were brought in the detainees are brought in separately and we meet in trailers. so what we know is what we hear from the men of what the conditions are like. unfortunately there is a lot of building work going on in guantanamo right now which leads us to believe that it's nowhere near closing as obama would have promised back in two thousand and nine when he took office which is unfortunate but. the men say that everything has improved conditions have definitely improved since two thousand and five which was probably the worst year for the men there and what reason are you given for not being able to go inside the rules change every time you go to guantanamo every time we go there's a new

a new rule that we have to abide by or remeet them differently in different locations so while lawyers were previously meeting with their clients in the camps we were not told of a direct reason why but apparently this makes it easier to transport the men it makes it safer. they don't give us direct reasons i'm not someone who's interested in the prisons about prisoners' rights in general how do you feel about not being able to see the conditions in which they're living and you always want to see what your president or what your client is is subjected to so it's. it's very hard not to see i witness what they're going through they do tell us. again it's always nice to know for sure that there's no degree of exaggeration to what they're saying and that you can say with confidence what they're what they're it's objected to a lot of the details that we've heard about the treatment that terror suspects have been subjected to england have been truly shocking i'm told that waterboarding and other forms of torture have you met people who was subjected to these forms of

interrogation absolutely these these methods of interrogation the enhanced interrogation techniques as they're so referred are not are not the did not happen to the minority they happen to the majority so what happens is you get instructors who are interrogators and in the guards who are trained in these techniques that are actually used in military training. to help army men and women in resist interrogation being used on these men in guantanamo bay so the majority of our clients have had at least one of these techniques used on them. or legalities saw it rarely. what do we know about the effectiveness of the reliability of the information that's of taint under torture. well we know about you can't rely on this information you can almost get

a person say almost anything you want them to if you're torturing them and having them await forty eight hours seventy two hours. we know this from men and women who have undergone this training in the army we know this from men and men who have been held in p.o.w. camps in communist countries and say the vietnam war. you will say almost anything under torture just to have the torture and what does reprise make of these methods of interrogation from a legal perspective well they're illegal under the geneva conventions the geneva conventions afford you prisoners of war the right to be treated humanely and without degradation these treatments obviously do not do not. stand up to this standard of treatment. it is illegal but unfortunately in two thousand and two after the prison first opened george bush declared that these men were not prisoners of war they were enemy combatants and therefore did not fall

under the geneva conventions we still hold that this is a legal and if it's not illegal it's completely immoral anyways what's morale like among the prisoners that you've met recently the men who are still there are obviously tired they're depressed they're withdrawn we try to give them as many updates as possible about men who have been released. but sometimes it's only serves to make them realize what they're missing a lot of the men feel that their lives are passing them by while they're stuck in this prison but at the same time do not want to return back to their home countries because they're they fear prot persecution or torture so they are kind of in this this limbo where they don't want to go home but they don't want to be in want on him only more they've spent eight. nine long years there that's their life and so it's just passing them by the one hundred seventy three prisoners left in

guantanamo bay what are the stories give me some examples of what some of the most opposed to. a lot of them are ridiculous charges so a lot of our clients are facing a charge that is listed on their combatant status review tribunals in their administrative review boards as as for instance running away from the incoming northern alliance well that's because the northern alliance is bombing the cities they're in so obviously they're running away from the bombings in the conflict that of course is now being held against them as a charge and holding that up to say that they're terrorists. you have people who have lost their passports or are on forged passports for asylum reasons . and this is being held as as proof as they're terrorists so it's a lot of different charges you have associations which in in law is not supposed to convict you is not

a sign of guilt but it is in their cases what's the purpose of your work there and do you feel that you are able to sort of progress towards your goal to make a difference our goal is obviously to find a safe home for every man and get them released from guantanamo unfortunately we keep it we keep putting walls for instance. we've we've always held that people who won their hadiths cases about is people who have been declared by the courts that they've been held illegally that they would not be returned forcibly repatriated to countries that will persecutor torture them that they have a better chance of being resettled in a third country that will offer them a good new home unfortunately on thursday a far far he who is a winner was just forcibly repatriated to algeria so that's just another instance of a row. bloc that we continuously run up against closing guantanamo within a year was one of president obama's campaign promises to years of now paused and

it's still open why was this promise broken and can you see any signs of him making good on it is. the reason it was broken is political. obama to congress and. nobody you wanted. is brought to the states so there was the idea of opening a supermax prison in illinois that went for not part of the problem is that european countries are sick and tired of giving these men homes in the united states has done nothing to offer them the home considering that the united states is the ones who made the problem so obama's kind of ran into this problem where by the congress and the american people it by large do not want to get mowed detainees brought into the united states but without that he's got nothing to do.

as for the future of guantanamo it's looking less and less likely that it will be closed any time in the future. on thursday he signed a he signed the national defense authorization act which is for the fiscal year of two thousand and eleven which made it harder for detainees to prove brought to the united states for civil or for criminal cases and that's just another roadblock in his closing the camp it is a tricky issue there isn't it because a lot of these prisoners have literally nowhere else to go they fear of persecution if they're sent to their home countries and the country is on willing to welcome them is that an issue that's moving forwards or backwards it's going backwards unfortunately. a lot of the men do fear persecution and torture in their in their home countries. out of the european countries have offered homes to at least one of the men usually many more so they feel like they've done their part it is

a costly procedure to bring men to and to a new country and get them settled and give them language classes. without the united states doing so the european countries have decided that i have come to the realization that they have to be or all the responsibility the same national defense authorization act signed on thursday has made it that much harder to resettle. resettle men in their countries because it made the loops much smaller to jump through for the for the government to send them to different countries we talk a lot about closing guantanamo but at the same time it is at least a detention facility that we know about isn't there a fear that if it was closed detention secret detention would just go underground and that is a worry but that is a worry whether or not one tunnel remains open. united states has used underground prisons for years and we know of these. to transfer men to and from before they go

to guantanamo they're held in secret prisons. or only just finding out about some of these prisons and facts that were used years and years ago. and the united states of course is changing its its m.o. in secret detention it's doing proxy detention instead of instead of secret detention so you're always going to run into that whether or not kuantan a mole is open and we've been hearing more and more reports of secret cia facilities in eastern europe do you do you know about that. there are ongoing investigations in many of the eastern europe countries for instance in lithuania last year there was a parliamentary inquiry which found that there were two secret prisons in the country. that held that the secret prisons were probably not used however there is now a prosecutor prosecutorial in. that is still ongoing it started last year and it's still in the process in lithuania. we know of some secret prisons in poland so

there are definitely there has definitely been the use of secret prisons in eastern europe it is a current issue we're still investigating it we're working with the inquiries were doing our own investigations were doing our own litigation to to crack that open and find out the truth thank you very much thank you. we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from around the world.

we've got the future covered. he. says. wealthy british. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy

with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines kaiser report. on. the cia comes under fire as one of its operatives goes to court for minor offenses despite wanted for a string of terror attacks from the last one the five ships stranded in the frozen sea russia's far east coast is going towards the ice breakers are struggling against severe weather. and the u.s. finds that paying afghan militias to hold back taliban influence is not enough to

buy their loyalty. paula sports news with. hello there thanks for watching the sporting this is what is coming up. messi has voted world player of the year for a second time in a row beating team a shabby and iniesta. michael vick starts to be n.f.c. in the pro bowl but his eagles side crash as the pack is in a pile. on some of the fun in winter we look at how the beach so far is gaining popularity one of the coldest countries in the world. but first faith has handed out its annual awards as leno messi getting his second straight world play of the year trophy while josie marino was named best coach the arch in time won the faith about one dollar trophy ahead of barcelona teammates having and as anderson yes i

think for the record since the merger of the previous board and european football of the year awards the winner voted for not just by g. but also coaches and captains of national teams judge marino was voted the world's best after leading into milan to travel out the. i want to believing scores in the english premier league tim cahill is knocking him in for his country scoring twice for australia and therefore when i were in india in the asia cup lots of india next pats living in canada showed up to support their team but they were silenced by eleven minutes into the match brett emerton right to go so i tracked and soaking up the striker for the a. series of flag punches to celebrate his pride mark believed was doubled in the twenty fifth minute by harry you can take for granted thank you there is a great left footed finish to make it to neil and just before half time brad altman scored his fifth in ten matches to head for another great cross i think you bring

your other four julie arrive twenty minutes into the second half and a free steak isn't equal to the point delivery. by the head of irrepressible australia hold the number one. on the show while. i mean more liverpool's new manager kenny dalglish says he took the job act of respect for the club the fifty nine year old replaces roy hodgson until the end of the season and says he could never have turned me off. seeing a training session on monday. last month united in the f.a. cup he won eight league titles. and even though this is only until the end of the season he says there is no way he could have turned the club down. for. the more. straightforward yes it would be. so it was. wrong.

to. most here from. where it was. just a. let's turn to ice hockey now because in the cage shell is just over a month left before the playoffs and the next dozen or so games will be crucial in this audience who make it into the last sixteen in the pick of the gang on monday become a really good thing. for you when wish came to the last inside in sixteen sports unama stay six elsewhere starting with the title lost five four two large pieces after a penalty shootout and the last one on penalties treating their nominee and it is playoff time in the n.f.l. the wild card brand is over already and a couple of unexpected results in saturday with both in the united is colts and the defending champs the new orleans saints crushing and no shock star on sunday

however michael vick's amazing year is over the fence paved the way for the green bay packers in philadelphia early in the game here the eagles offense completely and seeing while the packers opened up the two possession late our knowledge is escaping from the pocket and finding james jones in the end saying to make it fourteen zero and it's right there in the truck in for chad just managed to field goal before the break we came up with a different mindset for the second half i think dr dick a twenty four yard touchdown to jason to make the four point gain i the practice however i might the scoring cost of brandon jackson the remaining seventy yards the end zone to take the thing back to the trade center. the eagles have put off or keep coming back through the course of the season and they were close to the other one there is it takes it because it's just too far right and they got the full back with enough chance of winning but that's by me she's crying both prosecute the. intersection of the gang but it was just so i think the fact is on trial next up

for then the atlanta falcons. decline before that game because the city chiefs hosted the hard hitting baltimore ravens and started this one suggested another upset came out charles taking it all of the way the forty two yard touchdown run to put the changed. isn't. that would remain me school for them it was always right is off to that talk about how to teach and write a new school for the from the inspection system here not just one change by ten i was in with gangs i'm late for school to try to connect with one plan bolding for annoying art school to make it twenty three second. block or two touchdowns and then release me god he added to twenty five yard touchdown run late to me to extend the ravens me to thirty seven not time finished ultimate advancing to the same division against the pittsburgh steelers. meanwhile it looks that because of the postseason only. one of the two touchdowns for new york jets and stuff today do

nothing for me but we'll go with three seconds left to the jets to be sure ryan friday will have their hands full facing a tree that's the biggest upset place in seattle where the seahawks the nod to defending champions the saints about marshaling for the longest run the free spirit became just in time breaking its own attacking songs by two extending c. as being easily eleven points of being used to go even the thing scored on the following drive because like you kadok bad as the next seattle seahawks. start attendance and former u.s. open champion juan martin del potro has begun to come back from injury with win everything each on a low post at the sydney international reaction time showed he has lost none of his fighting qualities saving a life as much point in the second set. of the saudi said it's the banks thank you god sixty like. last week i will be asked.

to go through and. through. our margins are. good. friends. so you are. now finished with football of sorts where russia is one of the leading nations in beach soccer that's the name the game the country's largely cold climate hasn't stopped the russians from advancing in this sport is running costs are half reports . it started as a pastime when the sands of brazil's beautiful coastline but now beach soccer will the shell case to the world and that's when to sixteen summer olympics in rio de janeiro brazil is are naturally the kings of this sport but russians are not too far behind and there isn't a full bore russia has been actively involved in beach soccer since one thousand nine hundred five so we called some point early and have the time to train players

that could be competitive in european under global events and we began with building the infrastructure that's why beach football is one of the sports to to live russia to rank high in european and world competitions maxime is the president of f.c. city from st petersburg a club that's unique to russia in a few ways in terms of beach soccer they were the first ones to create a ladies' practice group along with a reserve squad for now the team success has been mostly local but it has plans to make it to the top nationally and internationally as well it's nice to have the we made a thorough selection and fields new players who showed promise all the banks are performing as a result of a new team and one missing petersburg championship we decided to transform ourselves into a serious speech soccer club that the russian national team has become one of the sports powerhouses international tournaments in the country attract huge crowds in the summer but the long winter in most sports limits players and fans to just

a few warm months per year it's helped the national team's global success could result in a surge in popularity of this and another fun version of football throughout russia by can you have we have proper infrastructure and with good stadiums it's not easy to stage a compander to attract fans but when it's done we'll have the pleasure of seeing the stands filled to capacity in brazil for example forty five thousand people may attend a league match and up to twelve to fourteen thousand when it's a national team match it's a show of prominent celebration something for us to learn from. well it's the city continues to learn and could probably teach their skills to others take a look at what it could be missing at your next beach soccer event.

he didn't like. even though advancement of beach football is far from ideal in russia the country's national team it's constantly ranked in europe's top three in two thousand and nine the team even became a euro the champions that's something the country's irregular national squad led by andre out of shoving and kompany could probably learn from rome on coffer of argentine st petersburg that is always spoke of fernando whether he's coming out. hungry for the full story we've got. the biggest issues get

a human voice ceased to face with the news makers.
