i welcome you watching r.t. live from moscow. lawyers for guantanamo bay inmates say around one hundred men in one of the prisons are on hunger strike in protest over disrespecting the koran and confiscation of personal items the prisoners condition is said to be rapidly deteriorating and reaching a potentially critical level geo political analyst ryan dawson who's written extensively on guantanamo believes inmates they're desperate to draw attention to widespread human rights abuse. they really have very little other recourse other than a arguer strike it's not the first hunger strike they had it before and five when it went to the point where eighteen people were hospitalized it's hard to get lower

than guantanamo bay a lot of these men are detained without trial some without even charges it doesn't mean they're innocent but it doesn't mean they're guilty either and the problem is secrecy when you have this level of secrecy you just creating a environment for abuse because they are basically human beings with no rights and they can defer stronger stragglers overbreeding from the ira which is the inmate response force this one again confiscating their items this is the little freedom they have and so this is a really a low point but i don't know if it's a new low point because it's continually low and you can have your say when you think the u.s. will finally close guantanamo on our website this hour more than half of you currently sixty percent say the u.s. has no interest in closing the prison a fifth of you believe it's only it will only happen when america runs out of money to maintain it slightly fewer say guantanamo will be closed only when there is another prison somewhere else and just three percent say it will happen when the

u.s. defeats terrorism all over the world so do you go to r.t. dot com to cast your vote. now the european parliament is set to vote on banning all forms of pain or graffiti in the media including the internet the aim is to help eliminate gender stereotypes that the women but there are privacy fears that it will mean allowing web users to be policed even in social networks and their own photos as artie's test explains. the criticism is coming from the civil liberties fighters those campaigning for freedom of speech and expression as well as some politicians because they see it as a an infringement of sorts so one of the strongest voices coming from rick fall which the founder of the swedish pirate party here's what he said on his blog he says this surrenders attack on our fundamental freedoms of speech and expression needs action now well basically what the critics are saying is that in this

proposal it is quite lengthly there are a lot of words there that we use that are quite vague and broad a such as the term media and therefore it could be abused to another. from the pirate party is christian engstrom said that this may eventually include all internet related activities such as a private emails or even social networking is no one who will decide what to blog will be do want to form sort of a sixth sense or monitoring censor monitoring monitoring regulatory body which will be kind of a big institution this is what actions on companies so essentially again what critics would look at here is the fact that there's a control of the media that's not specified and not given the details on what the so this is what it is to say that although this may not be legally binding at this point what happens is it could be shaping the thinking in the e.u. with regards to matters of dealing with an now this is really a sensitive topic because on the one hand they're saying that there is really a fundamental and justified need to address those challenges facing women's rights

and role in society and you on the other hand the manner in which control may be imposed how broader or encompassing these powers may be is really what's worrying those campaigning for freedom of the internet of speech and of expression what are some could soon become european democracy to attempt internet censorship by using radical internet filters to block online pornography but who should choose what gets. now pakistan could become a victim of the american sanctions which are meant to target iran's energy sector washington's threatening penalties following the launch of a joint iranian pakistani gas pipeline project on monday the deal will help to ease pakistan's energy crisis but washington's concerned it would also enable iran to sell more gas and undermine u.s. sanctions against it well that could a she joins us now he's the president of the

lobbying group pac nationalist forum thank you very much for joining us the first question i mean washington was quick wasn't to threaten pakistan with these sanctions before the ink was dry on this project so why is pakistan still pressing ahead with it. well obviously the united states does not have much options when it comes to pakistan they need to stand for the withdrawal of american troops and other nato troops from afghanistan and pakistan is the only way out and as long as they need this route it is not expected that washington will really force ahead with the imposition of sanctions in buxton but they would still it makes sense for them to make use of statements right now in order to maintain and sustain the pressure on the iranian government and of course for the for the overall purpose of meeting their policy guidelines with

regards to iran so it just seems to me and seems to really many people here in pakistan that the pakistani government did not go ahead with this project without taking everything into consideration one of the key points that i'm sure box the decision makers took into account is the fact that the united states may have to resort to giving some sort of indirect exemptions to the pakistani government exemptions from the from the law that imposes sanctions on countries dealing with iran and of course the united states has done this in the case of several companies belonging to countries that are allied with the government of the united states so there is a possibility that the u.s. government while publicly maintaining pressure will privately choose a course where it might try to accommodate some of the pakistani reasons behind going ahead with this project you mentioned the reasons that it is it pretty much a statement i mean there are commercial reasons on the behind this project but the

iranian leader calls it a show of resistance against domination the other similar feelings in pakistan do you think. there is no question that the pakistani government is also sending an indirect signal here that we have reached a point in time since the alliance between the two countries after nine eleven we've reached a point in time where the pakistani interests are really dying diverging from those of the united states and they do not meet or see eye to eye on everything and certainly the they do not see eye to eye on iran and this project in particular the united states has done a given box than a lot of lip service to pakistan's energy requirements the us government tried to engage pakistan to meet box on the energy requirements but it failed to for example meet keep iraq study demand to spend approximately one billion u.s. dollars on

a mega energy project in pakistan that would have solved the energy crisis in this country the united states unfortunately despite passing several. pieces of legislation to provide aid to pakistan including the very famous kerry lugar aide bill failed to commit that kind of money to pakistan's energy needs and i think it is the box any decision makers have reached the conclusion that they can wait no longer and that they have to take decisions that would meet the pakistani interest and the certainly the this decision on the iran gas pipeline is absolutely critical to box on security and the energy it's ok you say it's critical to pakistan but what about the relationship between pakistan and the u.s. surely that's just going to increase tension between the two isn't it. under sanctions that might follow both countries. yes yes both countries will be able to sort of maintain. an acceptable level of engagement with each other and it is not

expected that this project would lead to a major rupture between both countries and both islam about in washington have faced critical moments over the past five years in their relationship and they managed to sort of get over those points of crisis and it just seems to me that this is one more point of crisis in the bilateral relationship that both governments would manage to overcome although i just i can see how this box to any decision actually you would do would. sort of create a huge dent in the american policy of containing iran it would do so it would create a lot of anger in washington d.c. but as i said earlier it doesn't seem that the american decision makers have many options really to pursue when it comes to parks and at this point in time when they need. for us hardware and troops withdrawal from afghanistan ok mr quest we've run

out of time ever thank you very much for your analysis on the situation that's half met the president of the pakistani lobbying group nationalists or still ahead this hour germany's famous thrift and efficiency takes a knock from some oddball budgeting fancy a carrot it's just one of the bizarre investments from the federal pot we'll show you more and tell you how taxpayers are reacting. plus one of google's main competitors is up for grabs with. you for a stock market float we'll tell you why. it's .

welcome back. voted overwhelmingly to remain in overseas british territory but the results not likely to help end the bitter dispute between kerry and argentina when his aires claims the alus were stolen from it by britain two centuries ago referendums also spot when you'd accusations over britain's overseas policies as aussie sarah firth explains. protecting people's right to felt determine their own future and britain's made a huge amount of movies and fuss over this when it comes to the folk and items referendum so you've got to read a lot of that today it's going to be in all of the papers it's going to be on most of the nice channels a story you won't have heard about many kids indeed might never have heard of is that the take of itin snout the fact that you would have heard of it doesn't make it any less shocking shakos eyed and possibly british indian if you see how it's

free and though grouping abidance the largest of which is the a garcia not many people know that as the large us military air base from which we see in the us launch attacks on iraq and afghanistan but back in the one nine hundred sixty s. and that was home to a population of roughly the same as the folk in guidance around two thousand indigenous people that and the u.k. struck a deal with the us which flew them get a discount on arms and saw the us get diego garcia for their military base and half of the population will they were forcibly evicted from their homes many of them who would move to move rishis where they've looked out by dave in object poverty ever since and now we also have a number at the table side and is living here in the. ok and i think what's even more shocking is that this isn't a partisan justice this is something this before why wait till today the government today is still fighting the takeoff's islanders right to return home it's very

shameful governance in britain. if britain is to great itself around the world and supporting the rights of self-determination of those in the fore and gardens and what about the rights of the trade goes on and now i think what side of this about that story is that many of the to go see and say here in the u.k. now all spirited women he simply want the right to return home and he put that in stark contrast with what's happening in the filter and guidance right now on the one hand you had put it by saying as many huge amounts of money sending troops to defend this that if the effects of this colony against argentina came in on the other hand you have been spending equal amounts of money to stop to take a fight in this from returning to their home to the contrast really is a very stark tale of two audience really and how different we seem to take our side is treated to the folks in the island as one international business consultant agency pucci explain to us why he thinks the referendum is

a pointless step in the long running dispute between britain and argentina. it's like asking the ultra right wing israeli settlers on the west bank whether they want to continue being israeli really want to be comparison to me and maybe they should open up immigration ima give twenty or thirty thousand argentinian settle there there we can have another referendum and see what happens as far as argentina's concern just as argentina made a serious serious mistake in one thousand nine hundred two to take on britain and the united states it is also making a rather a ridiculous of making a fool of itself with its claims now because argentina has no military prowess or credibility whatsoever so britain in a way are laughing their way as they. seek out against and exploit this oil for those sixty six or sixty some odd billion barrels are just a rough estimate but the whole continental shelf which is very shallow or on the fork in my weakness seems to have really huge oil reserves and on top of that it is in an area which is not

a hot spot for the united states and britain as the middle east is and i'll be back with more news just after this quick break. wealthy british. guys. find out what's really happening to the global economy with. headlines.

not really. well i know it's going in projects i would hope that they will invest money into schools and they will give it to disadvantaged families would you be willing to sponsor a study on the educational benefits of comics or invest in virtual reality three d. software for yachts or how about buying into the production of purple carrots most wouldn't but these people are and most of them don't even know it. a text based rights group in germany has revealed a number of controversial projects some costing millions of euros a coming straight from the federal budget the biggest problem we have is clearly our national debt we have to pay twenty three billion euros per year just on the interest the government should be wise with its money does not sponsor these bizarre projects the bundestag affection for cinema has cost the country some ten

million euros with the state backed three d. adaptation of the famous tarzan story come into the world screens these summer german drama cloud atlas was also partially funded from federal reserves the irony is that this questionable state spending is exposed at a time when germany and go america personally is pushing other european nations towards the toff austerity since the start of the crisis the iran chancellor has been travelling from one hundred country to the next urging savings and sacrifice but it seems what was preached abroad isn't being practiced at home this is another one to start a project bicycles germans are known as a cycling nation twenty five thousand euros to fund my courses including practice and theory on how to keep your balance how to speed up and slow down how to use hand signals and not to use your cell phone while cycling so great isn't it though there is one but in this program you must be

enough to keep the stench of garbage away from city dwellers but close enough for some to conclude it's making the bed when tribes who inhabit these hills sick of not hussein is recovering from cancer he says he can prove the dumb caused it but suspects it did. our children play next to the dump our animals in the nails in the garbage and later die we always smell garbage day by day the dump is getting closer to ahmed and his family because these radio authorities don't want it spreading to the expanding settlements on the other side israeli law says a land full should be two kilometers from where people live this one's a stone's throw away. there are a lot of people suffering from a lot of illnesses that we've never seen before some of them are skin illnesses there have been cases of cancer and people have died some of the garbage being dumped here has chemicals and gases and for as long as these hills fall into palestinian territory they'll continue to fill up with israeli waste these bed when

tribes were forcibly moved here a decade ago the one similar magic herders were compensated with cash electricity and water supplies this is a mountain of waste that's been building for seventeen years it's convenient for the israelis to dump their garbage here because it's not too far from jerusalem and this is after all contested occupied land. these reedy health ministry has found that the dump is producing methane gas amongst others with long term health risks for the last few years talk to her son has been researching the health effects of bed with living near the rotting waste water getting out of of being sides these waters just goes into the ground leeching the alcove where we have the water of drinking water we have a well where were the people drinking water from these wells and we found during our research that there's some heavy metals inside these wells but land here is expensive and building

a new waste site would cost money it's also not clear where these big one communities could move to the lack of building space means they forced to put up tents closer to the landfill site. it is not normal that we live in a dump it's supposed to be far away from people who all the time it's getting closer it's very hard to live here the only solution is to move this dump away from here in its defense that you recently municipality says the site is legal but it has until the end of this month to respond to a court order to stop dumping here each day more than a thousand tons of garbage is deposited on ahmed store step potentially a ticking bomb for people who live on the fringes of society. or r t l jabal village in the west bank is just coming up to help us three here in moscow and back with more news for you in about thirty minutes time next day is abby martin and breaking a sweat. the

month before the oscars and what annoys you with their predictions and the most after everyone complains about the results but it is a big talked about much as the few hundred people who gathered to protest the glimmer filled award show why protest the asker's you ask. well although the film life of pi won the oscar for best visual effects effects to you that made the movie look so amazing were the men hughes has filed for bankruptcy quickly after the film's release you know that seems like a bit of a discrepancy i mean the group that made the best visual effects in the world in two thousand and thirteen is flat broke how can that be this reminds me of how the lead creators of call of duty modern warfare two were let go directly after the release of the game which to date is the eighth highest grossing video game of all

time this was done supposedly to dodge paying them the royalties that they you know earned through hard work the problem is that we live in a world where only the bottom line count making as much profit as you possibly can damn the consequences it's just good business practice they say well it might be profitable but it's bad for society as very bad for visual effects and videogame artists but that's just my opinion. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear see some other part of it and realize that everything is ok. i'm time part of the big picture.
