insouciance. but it was everything really good and it seems to say. though she shared her thoughts with her diary it all became evidence in the trial but counterrevolutionary activity. the evidence which condemned to label. the diary of a soviet school on. it's . say the wiki leaks founder julian a fall into the pit in the u.k. court as he fights extradition to sweden over. a cell phone

is the accusation from planes. to eventually hand him over to the u.s. well the next technician herring will take place in. washington is accused of protecting a former cia agent he's wanted in. the deadly times newest book is on trial in the u.s. for all their offenses including immigration fraud. and help is on the way for the last of five ships trapped in ice off russia's far east coast for almost two weeks the previous vessel was transported to safer waters by two icebreakers earlier this morning. hours this tuesday mogs that nine years since the opening of the u.s. detention center in guantanamo bay cuba all see it turns the spotlight on washington's controversial practices that.

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 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 mainly in trailers. so what we know is what we hear from them and 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. the fortunate. 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 column 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 and as 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 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 injected into a most of the details that we've heard about the treatment that terror suspects have been subjected to in guantanamo bay it's 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 guards for the training and in these techniques that are actually used in military training. to help army men and women resist interrogation being used on these men in guantanamo bay so the majority of our clients have have had at least one of these

techniques used on them and. what do we know about the effectiveness of the reliability of the information that. well we know about you can't rely on this information you can almost get a person say almost anything you want them to do this you're torturing them and having a wait 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 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 while they're illegal under the geneva conventions the geneva conventions afford prisoners of war their 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 moral 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 who 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 country because their. persecution or 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 tom only more they've spent eight. nine long years there that that's their life and so it's just passing them by about 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's 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 and 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 laws 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 hitting walls for instance. we've we've always held that people who won their hadiths cases about it 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 persecuted 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 devious winner was just forcibly repatriated to algeria so that's just another instance of a roadblock that we continuously run up against closing guantanamo within a year it was one of president obama's campaign promises two 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. the reason it was broken is political. obama to congress and. nobody wanted. is brought to the states so there was their 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. considering that the united states is the

ones who made the problem so obama's kind of run into this problem where by. the congress and the american people 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 close in time in the future. on thursday he signed a he signed the. national defense authorization act which is for the fiscal year two thousand and eleven which made it harder for detainees to group brought to the united states for civil or 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 any 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 a lot 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 so the european countries have decided that there have come to the realization that they have to be are all their 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 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 prison facts that were used years and years ago. and the united states of course is changing its m.o. in secret detention it's. doing proxy detection is that instead of secret detention so you're always going to run into that whether or not kuantan a moe's open and we've been hearing more and more reports of secret cia facilities in europe do you what 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 back the secret prisons were probably not used however there is now a prosecutor prosecutorial inquiry 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. 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.

so much brighter if you. from funds to. start don't come. here for the feast we've got. the biggest issues get the human voice face to face with the news makers. this is not a good warm. place in which it should see everybody you should support retreat they have no idea about the hardships the face . plate one it's this is. all going to new sims in the army the life level you see them is the most precious thing in the

world. uses of self-sacrifice and terrorism with the goal to understand fully the end you have to live a. real life stories from would need. to treat nineteen forty five don't call. the way he needs to come to today in the phone towns appeared in the u.k. cause of the following six traditions we've been over thirty. percent of followers that the accusation of complaining they are cut led to me but to us that extradition hearing will take place in a full. fledged washington if the candidates are protecting

a film with cia agent seems wanted in the uk and america the deadly terror attack of some of its own strong in the u.s. brother of ben truth including immigration reform. and health is all the way to the five ships trapped in i thought process is far east coast tollways two weeks previous the vessel was pointed to safe and we were to see life break is this morning. coming up a little bit to sports news with angie foma. hello there thanks for watching the sport and this is what is coming up. messi has voted world player of the year for a second time in a row beating team a shalvey and iniesta. michael vick starts to be n.f.c.

in the pro bowl but his eagles side crash as the pack is in the playoffs. and so much 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 with little messi getting his second straight world player of the year trophy while a jersey marine who was named best coach the arch in time won the faith abound door trophy ahead of barcelona teammates having and as an anderson yes i do feel represents the merger of the previous code and european football of the year awards the winner voted for not just by g.e. 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 a strike and therefore when i were in india in the asia cup lots of in unix pads living in canada showed up to support their team they were silenced by

a letter anything to match brett emerton right now so i tracked and setting up the striker for the idea that. there is a flag punches to celebrate the birth oftentimes cried mark believed was doubled in the twenty fifth minute by harry you replace it alex thank you very great left foot and finished make it to neil and just before half time brought home and scored the script in ten matches the header after another great cross i mean brain your other four julie arrived twenty minutes into the second half and a free steak is equal to the point delivery. by the head of irrepressible australia hope the number one. show was on monday. i mean more live reports new manager kenny dalglish says he took the job back to 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 after last night in the f.a. cup he won eight league titles

a manager 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. it was straightforward yes it would be. so it was. overseas. most here from a far away. but. this is just the. let's turn to ice hockey now because indicate shell is just over a month left before the playoffs and the next dozen or so games will be crucial in deciding who will make it into the last sixteen in the pick of the gang on monday comrie get beat. four to

a winning wish him to the last inside in sixteen spots unama stay six elsewhere starting with the title lost five four two large pieces after a penalty shoot out and then also 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 indianapolis 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 wild accusation that the team is actually our knowledge is a statement from the pocket and signing james jones in the end saying to make a full season and its right to exist before just managed to field goal before the break we came up with a different mindset for the second half i think drawing with a twenty four yard touchdown jackson having to make the four point getting i the

puck is however i might buy the scoring cost of brandon jackson the remaining seventy yards the end zone to take things back to the trade center. the eagles have pulled 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 for me she's probably both probably be the intersection of the gang but it is just so i think the fact is on track stuff then the atlanta falcons is. good for that game because city chiefs hosted the hard hitting baltimore ravens in the start of this one suggested another upset came out charles taking it on the way the forty two yard touchdown months before 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 new schools the from the one that's just ahead not just one change by ten i was in with gangs in the late third quarter try to connect with one plan bolding for nine yards or to make it twenty three

seven. block or two touchdowns and then release me god he added to twenty five yard touchdown run like to me to extend the writing's me to thirty seven not try to finish o.t. more advancing to be seen divisions against the pittsburgh steelers. meanwhile it would set the coast to the postseason only. one of the two touchdowns for me you get on saturday you do nothing for me though because three seconds left to the jets the vision ran the day will have their hands full facing me treats the biggest upset place in seattle whether seahawks tonight the defending champions the saints how about marching for the longest running free spirit became just in time breaking its own attackers on his bike to extending c.s. being easily eleven points of things to go even the same school in the fall and tried to be like

a target but as the next seattle seahawks. start attending and former u.s. open champion juan martin del potro has begun to come back from injury with win it with the channel at the sydney international reaction time showed he is lost none of his fighting qualities saving a life as much point in the second set time. the saudi said the ranks thank you looks like. the last thing i would be asked. go through. or montes are. good turns a guy. from. so you're. now finished with football of sorts where russia is one of the leading nations in beach so that's the name of the game the country's largely cold climate hasn't stopped

the russians from advancing in this sport is running costs or have reports. it started as a pastime in 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 i'm 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 and that has plans to make it to the top nationally and internationally as well does not

have the we need a thorough selection on fields new players who showed promise of a better performance as a result of a new team and one missing petersburg championship we decided to transform ourselves into a serious beach 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 but then you have four we have proper infrastructure and with good stadiums it's not easy to stage at them pains to attract fans when it's done we'll have the pleasure of seeing the stansfield to capacity in brazil for example forty five thousand people may attend a league match and up to twelve to fourteen thousand once a national team match it's a show

a 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'd like. given the advancement of beach football is far from ideal in russia the country's national team is called but they ranked in europe's top three in two thousand and nine the team even became the euro the champions that's something the country's irregular national squad led

by andre out of seven and company could probably learn from rome on coffer of art think fate and bird. that is all the spool fernanda weather is coming up. they were telling it's filled with joy. with parades and marches. inspiring people with insouciance. but it was everything really good and the allowed to speak out. though she shared her thoughts with her diary it will became evidence in the trial for counter-revolutionary activities. the evidence which condemned to a label.
