more news today violence has once again flared up to find these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china operations are today. and i'm happy and seeing the last five eyes bound ships with three hundred people on board has been told to safety by breakers up for almost two weeks stranded on russia's spar east coast. also this hour the world's most notorious detention center at guantanamo bay has turned nine years old as part of obama's pledge to close it down the president still holds almost two hundred inmates in legal limbo.

the white plague returns to great britain files of being diagnosed daniel e. with tuberculosis the infection is spreading beyond high risk groups into the wider population. around the clock around the world this is r.t. life here in moscow so the ends in soit for the final ship that has been stuck off russia's far east coast more than three hundred crew members have been jewed a two week ordeal but are now being escorted through the frozen seas by two ice breakers that already led a smaller ship to safer waters. is following the progress of katrina so the ships are on the home straight now to less troubled waters. all right but we know that

this rescue operation is proceeding smoothly and the two ice breakers are working hard to battle the conditions the tough weather conditions that have made this rescue operation so incredibly challenging the admiral my current band the crossin ice breakers are at the moment in this sea of a hole it's kreskin the larger of the two stranded vessels at this supply vessel. they had already allowed to open waters the smaller of the two the refrigerator and they have left to safety and now they have returned back to the supply ship the supply as she is has some three hundred people on board and the sheep and the cargo need to hard together make up to thirty two million dollars and the problem has been that the sheep is considerably larger than any of the ice breakers so the ties breakers have been maneuvering and they have joined in on behalf or to to make the larger channel in the eyes simple tiny asleep i'll be

normally an ice layer in that area is up to want to meters but these here with these six trimly freezing weans and waters it looks like a slice by and that have gone on top of one another those layers and they make up two three four meters at times and a ball as far as the crew is concerned we know that there is no immediate danger to to any of the three hundred crewmembers and there are also thirty five crewmembers on board the smaller sheep that had been rescued already and they have enough supplies and they have enough food for the moment but what's being said about why these joint vessels were in the bay during such harsh conditions. why indeed it's actually the transportation ministry had warned that the c. of a whole it's going to be particular in normal weather conditions are quite hard to say listen to the gate in winter and these here with temperatures going down to

some minus twenty seven degrees celsius and with these northerly we it's been a very dangerous and extremely hard to navigate and they had sent those alarm calls but still many vessels had to these freezing waters and as a result got stranded. some. from december twenty ninth to january the third some five vassals got stranded two of them were rescued by ice breakers and one managed to free itself and at the moment two other vessels are being freed being towed to safety by the ice breakers and all in all it's a very costly gratian because cargo on board on board the supply ship was what some ten million dollars and it's now that it's out of action it's course some. thousand dollars a day and of course not local authorities are. picking up the bill but one wants

the rescue mission is over and the crew is home and. safe of course the questions will be raised about why those vessels that were in those waters and of course somebody will have to pay out all right thanks very much indeed. in moscow. but we're coming to you live from the russian capital here more news to come this hour for you including the important illness that lighting britain. i was so ashamed to me maybe because i come from sri lanka originally boils a disease of poverty and. to be is back and spreading through the u.k. ranking at the worst in western europe. victims and doctors give us their stories plus. still think progress following the u.s. and russia china is next in line to put a stealth bomber prototype into the. story

still to come but first the twenty first century's most infamous detention center still holding invades despite president obama's election promise to get it closed guantanamo bay it's become a trademark for human rights abuses since taking its first prisoner nine years ago and as you have his reports full from happy at having america's dirty work still carried out on its soil. it's a place forever immortalized by images of torture known by its abbreviation america's notorious detention facility in guantanamo bay cuba has been the source of world condemnation where abuse lack of legal recourse and indefinite detention is the norm it's also been the subject of decades of strife with cuban authorities who argue the forty five square mile military base violates cuban sovereignty and amounts to a military occupation the greenland under which u.s.

has to be on cuban soil to kuantan a moment let's hear a piece. from earliest earliest years of the twentieth century the plot amendment was imposed following the u.s. occupation of cuba after the spanish american war in one thousand nine hundred three was extracted from the bench you've been governing under under threat under duress and in clear contravention of international laws like the vienna convention the us government threatened to continue its occupation of cuba unless cuban authorities agreed to lease the land for america's military base indefinitely or for as long as it paid the cubans it's nearly runs the rent check four thousand and eighty three dollars. after the cuban revolution swept the island nation one nine hundred sixty its revolutionary leader fidel castro cashed only one check and he insists it was an accident no checks had been cashed tents and protest no such she

would never be signed today knows a treaty signed today would never be internationally recognized today the united states. will hunt down. and punish those responsible after nine eleven the bush administration swiftly turned its military base into a detention facility declassified documents show the u.s. government used cuban soil to evade national and international law to interrogate terror suspects a strategy journalist pepe escobar argues is convenience you can ship to cuba and never bring them to the u.s. mainland and they are going to live there for ever in a state of legal limbo most of the remaining one hundred seventy three prisoners at guantanamo bay have been detained there since the facility opened nine years ago awaiting trial. president obama recently signed away his right to bring detainees to u.s. soil making it unlikely that any of them will see

a trial or freedom any time soon some argue the u.s. violates cuba's sovereignty for this reason because this is the only latin american country for the past over this past fifty years has said you know straight to the eye of the american government or as they would say the american empire a country cubans believe should give rights to its detainees and give back the land that's right fully there is this our t. washington d.c. . human rights activists have been holding a symbolic demonstration in front of the white house calling for quantum obey to close for good they wore black could some orange jump suit to represent its inmates christine. they call themselves anti torture is there with a group called witness against torture and maybe it's yearly pilgrimage here to washington d.c. to bring attention to the fact that the detention facility at guantanamo bay is

still open there are in fact one hundred seventy three men still detained there and they're represented by people here and jump you know they started the rally in front of the white house the home of u.s. president barack obama who started off his presidency with a pledge to close down the detention facility at guantanamo bay and yet two years later it is still open and nearly fifty of those one hundred seventy three men inside are considered too dangerous to release but too difficult to prosecute so what that they stay until they die. so they've come out here for the last several years there is a slight change this year to the prison uniform many here are wearing stickers with the image of private first class bradley manning he's accused of leaking those secret documents to whistleblower website wiki leaks he's being held in solitary confinement we hasn't been charged and a lot of people here say this is torture in the same way that the prisoners being

held at guantanamo bay are also tortured reporting in washington christine for sound. willing to publish these stories of detainees and what he calls america's illegal prison so as sole aim was to hold people indefinitely while flying below the human rights radio. people should always have cared about guantanamo bay because the whole point of setting it up by the bush administration was to create a new category of human being in detention who have no rights whatsoever the problem is that there's still this novel category if human being neither criminal suspects no prisoners of war held in this open ended detention which now because president obama has found it so difficult to close it is really looking like arbitrary detention one hundred seventy three men still held and it's looking like for the forseeable future very few of those people are going anywhere they're not

going to have trials they're not going to be released that's a profound disappointment because the whole existence of the mo really remains offensive to people who believe in the law and in justice what they've actually done was rounded up people in such a random and haphazard manner that they had so many innocent people there they had people who knew nothing about anything but they felt that they had been trained to resist interrogation by al-qaeda and so they introduced a torture program that so like their kind of made evil which. journalist and author and the worthington. international investigators are due to deliver their final report on last april's plane crash which killed the polish president lech kaczynski and ninety five others the document is expected to shed light on previously unknown facts and point to those responsible for the tragedy well we'll bring you full coverage later today. the tragedy.

in the kitchen see plane crash. known as the white plague in nineteenth century england tuberculosis is now increasingly a modern day minutes for those living in the u.k. future as the tb capital of western europe the illness outbreak in britain has been connected to both poverty and immigration while up artie's has been discovering the infection is now spreading beyond those high risk groups. it's a fatal illness most common in the victorian era as a result of badly ventilated damp living conditions but tuberculosis is alive and kicking in twenty first century london a recent study shows tb has hit a thirty year high in the u.k. with more the nine thousand cases diagnosed annually the reasons for this increase

is largely due to the number of people who are right in the u.k. with infection tb infection who usually would have acquired the disease because of their association of having lived in a country with a high incidence of tb. and also because of trouble to those countries britain has become known as the tb capital of europe pull some of felt from tb alerts which aims to draw attention to the threat of tuberculosis thinks that's a bit strong but still it is the one country in western europe where the numbers are continuing to reuters it can affect everybody but most commonly it affects people who are poor and that's to do with arab spring when you. close proximity of poor immune systems and so on it's a shocking indictment of the way poor people live in the u.k. particularly those who originally come from abroad but unlike in other countries

where tb is a problem in the u.k. it's no longer limited to the poor or those with chaotic lifestyles stemming from drug or alcohol abuse or homelessness sharma pereira is a middle class journalist who's lived in the u.k. since childhood she was ill for five years we can tired with debilitating night sweats before doctors finally diagnose tuberculosis deep in my heart i knew something was wrong i'd stopped working i'd stopped doing all the things that i normally do a movie of all of energy. but i've become the sort of role of the tired grumpy middle aged woman. doctors aren't sure where pereira picked up the illness but say she could just have been standing next to the wrong person on london's public transport network i was so ashamed because tb to me maybe because i come from sri lanka originally was a disease of poverty and it's. not deliberate but

a lack of cleanliness a lack of hygiene. to me. it was consumption it was what me. was it was what it was to do with sort of dampness it was d.h. lawrence it was not comfortable. in my nice little move west london home pereira now has to take antibiotics for six months and will then be well statistically she's much more likely to take the whole course of treatment than someone poverty stricken or addicted to drugs or alcohol not finishing treatment leads to drug resistant tuberculosis already on the rise in the u.k. in the late one nine hundred eighty s. the us had a similar cases of tuberculosis the way they solved that problem was by pumping vast sums of money into its ironically the u.k.'s one of the world's largest foreign aid with huge investments in fighting tb abroad but in austerity hit

portugal will try to raise much needed cash on the bond market on wednesday while trying to convince the world it doesn't need a bailout to solve its debt problems it's a critical period for the country at a time of year when governments raise crucial funds by getting investors to buy in but it could come quite a price portugal's likely to pay higher interest rates with investors jittery over the country's stability prime minister says it won't need belts like greece and ireland although all the major euro currency countries of france and germany want to plan money and that's because they're worried the debt crisis will spread to neighboring spain which is by far of larger economy a collapse would be destructive but financial adviser marco probably a portugal rescue wouldn't solve the fundamental flaws in the euro zone concept. this is not in any kind a way a final solution for the european debt crisis it is just buying time for these

countries so that hopefully they will be able to get control of their fiscal situation and the markets will start to to believe in them again that they're able to service their debt moving forward in reality what's happening is burdening this country with these countries a lot more debt to service and the jury is still out on whether they can actually turn their fiscal position around over the next few years you can't save all the banks and save all the countries because at some point someone's got a fire or all which is the other option which we've been pursuing so far is that we just carry on printing money and everybody carry on printing money and we end up with hyperinflation and most currencies then become worthless so at some stage someone's got to fail but what we're doing is patching up patching up patches up hoping that the issue's going to go away pushing the can further down the road now the europeans have to start thinking about a complete reform of the european structure. well as we'll hear later this hour

a british you. has been telling us that no matter how much the eurozone circles its wagons the prospects are bleak. it is extremely dangerous as we've seen with the euro to force such divergent nations together i think the tensions you create economic and political opera fairly dangerous i think personally i think the euro will collapse and soon i think it could be generally february could collapse you i mean really you cannot i saw the strange rate mechanism the fall rather to the euro you cannot buck the markets as mrs thatcher said at that time and effectively what's the e.u. is trying to do with this massive bailout package seven hundred fifty billion euros is to try and buck the markets but you can't do that you national governors never have enough money to actually out maneuver and out bid bond markets or

private markets they have more money available. and it's not going to work. china has confirmed it's conducted the successful test flight of its new stealth fighter it is now the third country to put a stealth prototype into the air following on the heels of russia and the u.s. but a technology strategy analyst told r.t. that china has a long way to go before it can boast having a next generation jet. normally every six foaling generation should be much difference in capabilities from the previous one it should be multi-functional multi-role aircraft which is able to be reconnaissance aircraft intercept ground attack and so on so for the chinese machine we should probably call demonstrate of technology all brought prototypes because we already had it in russia of both. before design view or they had a prototypes which they used to work on sort of technologists but they never start

serial production and i think these chinese machine they are more comparable to these demonstrator of technologies of two russian design bureaus than the real current american in the russian field generation aircraft. well time now for some other world news headlines now in our world update stage of the day a suicide bomb blast in afghanistan's capital kabul has left two dead and an unconfirmed number injured the attackers said to have been riding a motorbike when he blew himself up alongside a bass the explosion happened close to the parliament building and offices run by foreign companies. to australia now over fourteen people have died and ninety eight missing in the country's worst flooding for a sentry thousands of residents in brisbane the capital of proven evacuated their homes a massive floods hit the central business district water levels expected to reach their peak in the region by thursday many residents stocked up on food supplies and headed to emergency shelters. haiti is marking the one year
