4:05 am
controllers do not have the right to refuse pilots something that they want to attempt they can only advise them they cannot refuse them so it is it's actually. a misleading statement and in a lot of parts of the world it's actually wrong for the polish president to say the controller should have told the pilot not to land the controller did not have the right to tell. not to make an attempt. now the investigation went on her mom told her. that all of the main pages on that investigation and the large volumes of documents to mark the year we spoke to john from the told us what he thinks of the quality of this. my experience with the russian investigators has been very good they're very high quality organization and i believe that it was the

investigation was generally cure it out in accordance with the international civil aviation organization and x. thirty nine which is the international standard for accident investigation. when this accident but it. will go with working very closely together and it didn't play out that way for months here poland and russia have a very deep and difficult history together and some believe that the reason i'm holding out a draft report is because. i think that the polish reaction to the russian report is undoubtedly going to be clouded with the emotion that this event in genders and the polish people. i think what the what the polish government wants to be able to present to the polish people is that this was not purely the fault of the polish crew
4:07 am
and that russia take some blame for it as well i don't think this is very much to do with the facts i think it's all to do with politics. you see it's going that this final court in the next couple of minutes it's expected to believe it or you are. on. board. thanks a lot as you say. throughout the day and internet of their reporting for us there in central moscow the international investigation commission delivers the final report into the fatal air crash involving the president's plane near smolensk last april and by the way you can watch it live on our website it's on r.t. dot com. well we're coming to live from moscow more news to come this hour including the imported illness that's lighting in britain. i was so ashamed to me maybe because i come from sri lanka originally it was

4:09 am
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 the kuantan a more military piece. from earlier earliest years of the twentieth century the platte amendment was imposed following the u.s. occupation of cuba after the spanish american war in one thousand nine hundred three was. from the bench you've been government under under threat under dress and in clear contravention of international laws like the vienna convention the u.s. government trying to continue its occupation of cuba unless cuban authorities agree
4:10 am
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 it's revolutionary leader fidel castro cashed only one check and he insists it was an accident no checks have been cashed tents in protest no such she would never be signed today knows the treaty signed today will never be internationally recognized 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
4:11 am
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 then you straight to the eye of. 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 there. washington d.c.
4:12 am
. human rights activists have been holding a symbolic demonstration in front of the want calling for guantanamo bay to close for good they will in orange jumpsuits to represent his inmates well christine freezone was that. they call themselves anti torture or with a group called witness against torture and made its 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
4:13 am
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 is 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 our team. and he wasn't and he's published the stories of detainees and what he calls america's illegal prison says guantanamo sole aim was to hold people indefinitely while flying below the human rights radar people should always have cared about guantanamo bay because the whole point of setting up by the bush administration was to create a new category of human being in detention who had no rights whatsoever the problem
4:14 am
is that there's still this novel cats agree 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 the kind of medieval which. journalist and author

4:23 am
it was what. it was what it was to do with sort of dampness it was d.h. lawrence it was not comfortable. in my nice little west london home perera 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 britain it's unclear whether the money will be available to stop the spread of the disease. now before business news let's check
