it was faced with going out of business until twenty five villages stepped in raise five thousand pounds to keep it open and offered to walk there for free i couldn't live in this village without. the community nature of literally the free workforce allows it to stay open and breakeven i think people are happy in their lives by working for free. to come in and do something knowing that your contribution has a meaning or purpose isn't. it just heritage and we've got to make sure it does continue for the next generation volunteers who run the say that there are two secrets to success the locally sourced produce means that propping up the local economy take for example your free range eggs delivered from a nearby village there's a second so recess secret alerts the famous chocolate biscuits customers travel

far and wide for this homemade treat but even with volunteers staying open is hard the onslaught of major national chains whose immense buying power tempts with food sold for next to nothing has killed off thousands of independent british shops leaving villages and now wake up against supermarkets and we all use supermarkets but to be able to have a local store which does local produce and is something where you can chat to people you meet everybody but the gossip goes on here is amazing it would be dreadful if we did it because once you lose something like this you can never get it back again and they're not alone in getting together to save their small shop from extinction there are three hundred other communities stores in some of the u.k.'s most rural pockets winning customers by knowing that retail means detail. in really difficult economic times but they're really punching above their weight. something. very often quite different from what

a supermarket is. is offering for example they offer cafes they're offering postal services they're offering somewhere to go in and talk to your neighbors and your friends and if working for free is what it takes to keep it hearing him shop open and so be it well and you. really do it's the kind of spirit that could see this tiny store whether the worst and hopefully stay open for another three hundred years. r t north norfolk u.k. washington's infamous rendition regime was one of the key issues raised during a week of pretrial hearings for the alleged mastermind of the nine eleven attacks and his four accomplices in guantanamo bay we wanted us to go into america's so-called black sites abroad have revealed little so far and as artie's alina good reports even if facts were forthcoming justice might not be. guantanamo may

hold all the headlines but all the interested it means people are moving their focus elsewhere so-called black sites secret prisons were established by the cia during its well publicized war on terror unlike the cause however these secret facilities were never publicly discussed by the authorities the us claimed they could hold prisoners outside the us because then they wouldn't be subject to the geneva conventions to international law and humanitarian law reports suggest such prisons were in existence from two thousand and two basically not long after the events of nine eleven the us government denied the existence of these prisons until two thousand and six now the only country in europe which has acknowledged the presence of a secret cia facility on its territory is lithuania and if you were to look at it you will you will see something almost a deliberate site except for the imposing fences surrounding it likewise a suspected secret prison poland is believed to be located here apparently in one

of the most beautiful spots in the country according to various reports mostly from journalists or human rights organizations so-called high value detainees were flown in by the cia for interrogation at these polish facilities. i managed to get flight records from the airport in germany where it's clear that they have learned an aircraft used by the cia very important evidence because until then everyone denied b.'s landings and reported different destinations of these flights to europe controlled however just like their american counterparts the authorities in warsaw have been extremely frugal with the details and investigation into the secret prisons has been dragging on for almost five years now but what earth during its course remains unknown therefore the extent of the investigations progress just like any information about the torture of prisoners regarding who was where when and how all of it remains a mystery and the investigation is rumored to conclude next month by the looks of

it whatever its outcome it may also be a state secrets and swept under the carpet a senior counterterrorism council that human rights watch and reprisals says that those responsible for administering torture in guantanamo and the so-called black sites were never really punished. one of the issues that they did have raised there were they want to. preserve they consider them to be themes and crime which i did with while the men were tortured there and i think that's where we're going to and i mean they have a very strong argument that they were secret unicode detention plates where people were tortured in violation of u.s. and international iraq so there was never any reader going around president obama closed down but the reality is the real concern in the us is that no senior official has ever been held accountable the only people who can prosecute him for detainee abuse have been first of all very limited number of people and always low level people never the senior official who created the regime of torture and

ordered it and didn't implement those human rights watch of the own reappeared then there are grounds for a criminal investigation into the congo and senior officials are all the way to the top or the former president george bush and other. well reportedly being held hostage for eight months by russian mafia an irish real estate tycoon who claims he was given a punishment he'd never forget was into the man's forehead and the website. of the moment the russian football premier league's dog and squad was said to be the third most expensive transfer in the country's history discovery he said to join some friends of the club. medical workers in bahrain said they're being targeted by the authorities for treating injured protest is to say the retribution has been severe while the

government insists it's now investigating the allegations. looks at those at risk for trying to help. nada dhaif was among a group of doctors who were trying to help the injured during a protest in bahrain she claims that after violently crushing the dissent the all thora g.'s turned their attention to her and her colleagues who were providing first aid they deny. health care to the patients and protesters. the doctors did not obey the orders for such. decided to punish those doctors i was taking place for ten days that i didn't know where it was. all that time i was blindfolded and handcuffed i was in a solitary confinement for back to twenty one days. and they would just open the door of the cell and beat me up and there was a member of the royal family who directly was responsible of my torch or she she

was beating me and she looked at me almost two dozen doctors were arrested back then this for the fuel the anger of the protesters and turned the hospitals grounds into the scene of the rally the salmaniya hospital is bahrain's leading medical institution and that's where most of the arrests have been made after those events it now looks like a fortress guarded heavily by the right police and not everybody can get in human rights activists say if you had suffered for speaking out against the regime and decided to come here for treatment you could make matters even worse for yourself anyone who was injured from the protests they cannot go to the hospital because they will be arrested in the gated beaten and taken to the jail last year many protester and in jail where torture and certain money are we have a story and testimony of people and protesters being tortured and the jail but in

my country protester were tortured and so. britain not who was charged with treason and sentenced to fifteen years in prison before being acquitted because of what she believed to be international pressure on bahrain's government the fate of many other doctors remains unclear the person who allegedly tortured not and others princes. has been officially charged by police she denies all allegations against her meanwhile the guy. women stands recently at the action it took against the hospital was the right thing to do. these doctors managed to control the emergency unit and the first floor of the hospital and started to perform political acts when a hospital is turned into a base for political ethnic work this is a real disaster we had an unbiased committee investigating the hospital condemn the acts of these doctors as. the case against one of the members of the world family may seem as an indication that bahrain's government has bowed to the negative

global reaction with the doctor scandal being far from the only torture accusation c.c.t.v. cameras have been installed at all prisons in a move to become more transparent according to the authorities but with protests in the gulf states still continuing and accusations of human rights violations intensifying the opposition is still wondering what happens in the places where the cameras cannot see. reporting from the kingdom of bahrain. be more in the weekly or naughty i'll be back with more from twenty minutes from now in the meantime coming away the master of hollywood psychological thrillers direct a brand to palma talks to r.t. about real life spawns invasion and the military america that's next.

rep or loopy fiasco actually caused a fiasco by singing a song highly critical of president obama ironically at a concert in honor of his second inauguration according to the huffington post he was prone offstage by security for insulting the dear leader the sounds really bad like something out of one thousand nine hundred four where thought. come out of nowhere the second you say something out of line about the party bog to the song loop it was singing had been going on for thirty minutes at that point this rant was more like a hip hop filibuster stopping the whole show and dragging on and on and on the so i think security just wanted to silence him in general not silence his anti obama opinions so you know loopy next time when you want to bring up obama's drone usage or total disregard for the constitution then keep it under three minutes and

everything will be just fine but that's just my opinion. there are twelve cities in the united states in which half of the people with hiv aids lives within a year of a diagnosis of. over six to two percent of. i diagnosed with aids this is a problem that frankly is substantially preventable it was like the big elephant in the room and nobody wanted to talk about it they were really good public health campaigns that people were really focused on this problem you know you certainly should be able have a lot less h.i.v. a lot less human suffering. that. little.

mission impossible director brian de palma it's great to have you with us. oliver stone who wrote the script to one of your best known films scarface said in an interview with r.t. that americans are living in an orwellian state it might not be oppressive on the surface but there's no place to hide so eventually some parts of you is going to end up in the database where according to historian peter course nick the us government intercepts over one point seven billion messages a day i you know well that will likely understood notice paranoia because i like myself a very strong. views about what our american foreign policy is and so needless to say i've probably been followed around since the sixty's because i made very political antiwar pictures of me in the sixty's.

so i sort of accepted basically. and my last week's political picture were back to. my country because i was criticizing our foreign policy and the fact that what the hell are we doing in iraq. is terrible things happen when you put these young boys in these worlds where they don't understand what they're fighting for why they are. so i can understand why all over things were being followed all the time we probably are your drama we docked it which still is what the war in iraq provoked political debates in america with claims it portrays the us soldiers in a negative flight. sensitive to such critique even your films title makes it clear that the truth about the war in iraq has been edited and hidden from them or it can public unfortunately america you can never say anything negative about the troops

even though they're over in a country they shouldn't be doing things where a lot of innocent civilians are getting killed. they're all valued warriors. well i think our foreign policy is incorrect i don't think we should have been in iraq it was i think we were lied to by our government and what happens when you put young boys in situations where they don't know why they're there there and it's even worse than being because not only are you wouldn't terrible environment where everybody basically wants to kill you. and you walk around and suddenly the earth explodes and your best friend just lost his leg. you. detest the people you're supposed to be fighting for. and you do crazy things and that's what to redact it's about and that's what cancer does the war was about. these

wars make no sense and crazy things happen here if studied the phenomenon or rather the pathology of violence for a while for decades why is america so keen to get involved in conflicts whatever they hop on from afghanistan to libya shooting first and thinking later many things in here that we're repeated over and over again that you know sort of. create this and this atmosphere one is america is the greatest day should in the world i don't know how many times i've heard that do they say that in russia do you say russia is the greatest nation in the world or not so i often i yeah and why are we all over the world why are we in countries you know we have you know a military presence all over the world why because we're the policemen of the world

who who who decided this you know. so consequently we get ourselves in a lot of trouble but you know there's also an economic thing according to president obama and economic recovery has begun but america cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many can barely make it where we sell. planes guns rockets missiles to all these countries all over the world so you know that we're that's one of our biggest industries it's our biggest export defense america spends as much money on military security intelligence as the rest of the world combined you know you're dealing with a big you know economic reality you know the idea that we would cut any money to the defense budget is like unbelievable let's get a few more planes let's buy a few more ships for what you know we're going broke doing this and there's like

you know it's like what eisenhower warned you know the military industrial complex watch out it just grows and grows and grows and nobody can seem to stop it barack obama has been recently sworn in for his second term but you don't seem to be very happy with his achievements oh no i think obama's trying to change some of this but here you're dealing you know our country is very split we have kind of liberals and he the cosa we have this kind of very conservative center of the country and that's why it's a difficult to get anything done in the congress. i mean why do we have guns but about guns all over the place you know we're slaughtering children and people think oh well maybe we need more policemen in the school rooms i mean you know it's crazy but guns is big business and they like to sell guns and we are probably the only country in the world that has guns all over the place following the mass shooting

at the elementary school in connecticut in december the los angeles police department has decided to deploy six hundred police patrols at the elementary and middle schools do you think increasing police patrols could help hold violence some say that the real purpose of the police buildup at schools is to make kids used to their cars. the presence off police and the growing atmosphere of fear there was an incident in china were you where somebody went to school and attacked all the children fortunately he only had a knife so is merely bennett's to stab a few people and kill no one when you have automatic weapons that can fire and one hundred rounds i don't know in ten seconds you it's crazy and it's like these are the kind of things that make no sense in america and are obviously after this last terrible tragedy they're trying to make some changes in the gun rules oh

so i can buy an automatic weapon with a magazine that holds two hundred bullets to go hunting it's absurd but these are the kind of things that does drive you crazy i mean it makes no sense whatsoever zero dark thirty the controversial years drama focusing on the decade long manhunt for a summon bin laden has been slammed for excessive violence and depiction off torture to find such criticism fair enough absolutely no big surprise we tortured a few people to find out where the terrorists were wow. i can't believe that america torturing people what's going on in guantanamo bay those poor guys have been there forever is the war ever over. maybe we should waterboard the bit little bit but only been there for ten years where does this glorification of mode and so

to come from well i think the use of torture in. and the big book is very realistic. in a way i don't know why everybody so surprised or upset but the fact that you would say that americans actually torture people is like possible but it's ridiculous of course they torture people. i like most of the action packed crime dramas targeting men your latest passion as if it were exclusively about women and for women now in the past some ladies have actually accused you of being a missile engine ists is this sex not the three your final answer to them well i had made it through in quite a while and the producer really made religion a french movie it was approached in toronto when it was shown that american producers point wanted to make an english version of disease and they were so much

interested in making an english version he decided to make and sell so he was a viral my fellow so he sent the film to my agent and i looked at it and i had made it through in a long time and i had sort of taken a couple of years off because i had you know daughters in school and i kind of like the idea plus i like you know making a film in paris or out of piracy louis ultimately shot at berlin. i like working in europe i like living in paris and i like the characters that you know these two. aggressive women fighting for power within the sabotaging agency i like women i have worked with women my whole life i went to a school as a graduate school it's a. lauridsen which i was the only male amongst hundreds of women so i'm very used to being in large groups of women i'm used to working with women i get along with

them i don't know where i got this pathologist reputation because i love to shoot women i love the dress them up i love to make them look beautiful oh of the follow them around with cameras because they are appealing to my i and this movie was full of women they had we had the two competing executives we had the assistant that's in love with her boss and then we have this beautiful russian ballerina so what more could i ask for thank you very much. pit mission and free accreditation and free transport judges are free to make amends three kids free. free.
