dislodge one of the most powerful militaries in the region the turkish planes and that interfere in syrian air space just a few days ago came to realize that the silk syrian military has nothing to claim with so i think that diplomacy is the only way i'll let us hope that the north atlantic powers that we learned from the libyan experience we know that they dropped tons of weapons in libya in order to dislodge the regime of mr gadhafi under the guise of humanitarian intervention. wiki leaks is promising to present a different take on the ongoing syrian conflict us online group has started publishing the so-called syrian files millions of emails that it warrants will expose the west's hypocrisy and dealing with damascus earlier i spoke to our correspondent sara firth who's following the developments from london. this is the biggest release since we had cable gate which gave us the u.s. diplomatic cables and a really unique insight into the workings of the u.s.
4:07 am
government now the syria files is even bigger than that it's supposed to be eight times bigger than the u.s. diplomatic cable leaked in terms of documents and a hundred times bigger in terms of data now in the same way that we saw the u.s. diplomatic cables released its thought similar things going to be happening with the syria files wiki leaks have partnered up with different media organizations around the world and they go three the dates and released this in small stages now so far from what's been released already we've had a very interesting insight into the workings because these are the e-mails that were being exchanged between senior political figures in syria ministry figures corporations around the world the first scene of the really week that an italian company had been providing communication with the syrian police and the syrian army now they that contract is signed back in two thousand and eight when relations with
4:08 am
the syrian regime were much stronger with the west it shows that the technical assistance still being provided as late as february of this year say you know clearly that company more than happy to continue providing that assistance even as the violence he claimed a huge number of lies in the country and so you know i think probably there's going to be a lot of very nervous companies around the world is going to be a lot of nervous members of the syrian government certainly as we once again has this major coup in providing us with you know a very unique glimpse of what is going on now what about julian assange train oh he's been holed up in the door in embassy awaiting his solemn but answer has i haven't heard any comments from the chief whistleblower he did he released a comment three one of his spokesman sara harris and she said on his behalf what's . files waiting to do is not to embarrass one side or another it was a to give us really an understanding of what was going on and use that there was

a need to understand the culture that we'd be able to find some sort of rest of the . poignant words from the man himself who is of course of the moment is a very. in the ecuadorian embassy here in london still. thinks the battle against that it's this is sweden and again indeed the thoughts of the u.s. if he were to be sent to sweden. the fact that the syrian files are making headlines despite all the criticism julian assange and wiki leaks are faced prove the group significance that's what just one radix as national security and human rights director at the government accountability project if these leaks were meaning was flawed or not in the public interest in knowing cared no one would report on them and they would see julian assange djoser crackpot and no one would need to mention to it the fact that they're being reported on inherently shows their worth despite the fact that credit card companies that chilled doll financial

support to wiki leaks and he is holed up in the embassy this organization is continuing to function which is a testament to the by. the organization at this time and i find all of this to be very interesting because it shows a number one the leaks is alive and well despite the best efforts of so many countries to shut it down and number two that as much as the mainstream media wants to distance itself from wiki leaks the syria piles are the front page of every major newspaper in the world right now and don't forget the wiki leaks editor joined us and has been hosting his own interview program right here on our t.v. all twelve additions of which are always available at a sound r.t. dot com. there hasn't been a. t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact.

a major some into a new infrastructure for its military base out kuantan i'm obey the u.s. government repeatedly pledged to put an end to the controversial detention facility that's based at the site and used to hold terror suspects or she's going to church again has more. forty million dollars will be spent to lay out this underwater fiber optic cable from south florida to cuba where the guantanamo bay prison camp is located the base commander said it only makes sense if we're going to be here for any period of time an infrastructure project like that may well suggest that the u.s. military's preparing for detentions and other operations at the guantanamo base for the long term when president obama was first running for office he pledged to shut down guantanamo in very strong terms in two thousand and nine he even signed an executive order to close it but not only did he not shut it down but the u.s. is obviously renovating guantanamo in this case by improving communications and the
4:14 am
argument is you don't make such an investment to pick up and leave guantanamo has made a black hole in america's human rights record indefinite detention torture around eight hundred people went through the camp within the last decade of america's war on terror the majority of them had nothing to do with nine eleven that's according to a former chief prosecutor guantanamo now the prison house is one hundred sixty nine detainees the government says eighty nine aren't those threats but president obama and congress have blocked their release as for the rest some of them have a shot at a military hearing but forty six don't have that chance because the government says they can't be tried for one reason or another the u.s. supreme court keeps refusing to take up one tunnel detainees petitions what has been striking to me was that the u.s. prides itself on the rule of law and human rights but at the same time has denied legal process to these detainees practice for sure and not just the one possible but in secret prisons around the world human rights organizations have issued
4:15 am
reports on all kinds of violations but to the u.s. it's been like water off a duck's back u.s. lawyer and attorney eric montoya who's represented some of the detainees at guantanamo believes the american leadership is totally failing to practice what it preaches. it's you're saying one thing and doing the complete opposite on one hand you know we're closing the base but on the other hand we're crafting warner state of the art you know penal institutions in the united states there's a big disconnect between the justice department between homeland security between the president and states and our foreign policy and i think we need to evaluate you know why we're spending millions upon millions of dollars on something that should not even be there in the first place later today we speak with british wire and university professor philip sands who says legal advisers practically gave the leadership unlimited power to do anything they want. but number of the lawyers
4:16 am
involved very senior love had no real background in the subject of international law the protection of the right individual and were very ideological in their approach basically they saw their function as law is not as be to give independent legal advice but to give the president the tools to do what he want to do that's not the function of a lawyer in any society in any democratic society. greece's farias at the british prime minister over his remarks the u.k. could restrict greeks from entering the country the move could also prevent other eurozone citizens coming to britain to escape recession at home greek m.p. ever khai believes david cameron striking a populist now just to try to keep a hold of his party. cameron's losing his party it seems that the democratic party is going really better so maybe it's like
4:17 am
a populism or trying to say something i've used this kind of statements to increase his popularity we are less likely to leave the country so nothing like that to be a problem and greeks in every county they've moved to they would grant the immigrants went to fairly or anywhere else they just created jobs and work really hard their way there so they wouldn't create a problem even if that would be the case it's against all the rules of the european union saying something like that while we're trying to get us out of this crisis i don't think it's good it was just pointless for me. and if you're headed online here are some of the other stories worth checking out on our website r.t. dot com. the fukushima power plant disaster may have been triggered by a tsunami but japan says it was human error that led to the disaster unfolding and . we've got the footage of a massive fire that raged in the russian capital find all the photos other videos
