u.s. officials in the mainstream media dismiss any ignore allegations of life threatening crisis at one time where more than one hundred detainees are reportedly on hunger strike for second month. despite two years of violence and seventy thousand lives and losses syria someone's summations are richer send more arms to the rebels including antitank m. and g. eight conference. and no one said a decade of policy shift is complete in china where the new president and prime minister said to employees political policies that will shape the world.

it's four pm here in moscow you live with us on our t.v. good to have you company with us lawyers for more than one hundred taney zone hunger strike at guantanamo bay say many of them are close to death the situation has become so desperate to representatives off the captives have made a direct appeal to the u.s. defense secretary but he was officials deny the allegations and much of the mainstream media remains on moved as archie's can and should you can report. guantanamo detainees have been on a hunger strike for more than a month now the facility which is now on strike holds most of the inmates there one hundred thirty people out of one hundred sixty six the total number of prisoners at guantanamo the detainees through their lawyers say most of them are taking part in this we cannot verify exactly how many will left a message with robert do ran the media person from guantanamo very much hope he will get back to us the attorneys for the detainees are saying their health is deteriorating we spoke with. her client there says he lost twenty pounds is the

beginning of the strike at the beginning of february said she and a number of other attorneys had sent a letter with their questions to the authorities at guantanamo copying the justice department she said they hadn't responded yet. just point the strike is more than thirty days old and by day forty by we understand from medical experts there are serious health repercussions that start happening like last year any chancel blindness and in a couple of weeks worse than that ultimately you know that substantial as they are for this well it strikes continue for weeks we've just no response to that letter so our parties also say they want to response from the authorities more meaningful than the few remarks by the prison spokesperson in the media robert duran i mentioned him earlier responded to the allegations that the prisoners copies of the koran had been mistreated and that's what presumably triggered the strike he said it was a routine search for contraband and quote the koran is treated with the outmost

respect end of quote it may very well be so from the conversations that we had with the lawyers i got a sense that this act of desperation is not just about the koran the lawyers are saying that these detainees desperately want to get the word out about the situation that they're in not formally accused of anything not knowing whether they're ever going to see their day in court detained indefinitely the u.n. says holding detainees indefinitely at guantanamo bay amounts to torture four years ago president obama signed an executive order to stop torture there but according to the un indefinite detention itself is also a form of torture it's hard to measure the degree of desperation among the inmates there half of them eighty six to be precise are sitting there with papers from the u.s. government which can clear them for release and yet they're still there are human rights organizations where port hundreds of suicide attempts at least seven of them were successful a detainee named odd non latif took his own life last september he was cleared for

release by both bush and obama administrations and yet never released he had spent eleven years at one tunnel that gives some idea about the level of hopelessness cause. by indefinite detention so it's somewhat obvious that through this hunger strike the detainees want to make themselves heard and it's not easy we're one of very few channels to congress this story there is a desire to kind of forget about one problem and it's very much reflected in the mainstream media here and in the scarce we're porting that we have seen on the air in washington i'm going to check on one of the lawyers for the detainees eric one tall that says of the u.s. president should on on his long running pledge to shut down the obsolete and expensive facility there are people in guantanamo bay right now that have been determined by the obama administration to be clear of any charges but they

languish down there because we have policies of no transport to certain countries like yemen it's really an abominable you know humanitarian situation where you're depriving these people of life and liberty and for no really valid basis president obama in his first term within twenty four hours said you know i'm going to close guantanamo bay because this doesn't need to exist and yet we sit here how many years later and we talk about you know all of the the budget cuts and all the concerns in the millions and millions and millions of dollars that we're spending upon this facility the medical care the transportation of personnel to and from the upgrade of the facilities this is just nonsense a call it makes absolutely no sense and somebody needs to go down there make some decisions and clear their place out because it has no purpose other than babysitting a bunch of adult people that have been cleared of any wrongdoing and they just need

to be you know sent send help. human rights groups around the globe are raising realize i'm a over the cruelty being inflicted at guantanamo to mark mason an expert on depression says the conditions get more detainees are being held in a tom tom and then to top. we are social animals very few of us run off to the mountains and live in a cave not at all to be facetious but each one of us has a very important schuman interactions ranging from our family members to communities and now quite frankly with the internet we are should not put this is site is something trivial to me and many people in our generation in this day and age i have important contacts people important to more life around the globe so putting people and the isolation chamber alone is is unequivocally

torture treatment we have the conditions here where they know they're in indefinite detention and that that context where we have individuals incarcerated isolated from each other and they don't know if they're going to get out tomorrow or never and that sets up a circumstance for extreme a psychological stress and on our website and we want to know your opinion on the matter every voice come flat out say dot com where you can tell us a when and if you think when tom obey will eventually close. right adem so far most of you believe we give more will always be open because washington has no interest in shutting it down around a fifth of you say the facility will cease to exist when the us runs out of money to maintain it slightly less of you reckon it will close after another prison is set up as a replacement and barely any of you think the painful history of guantanamo war and

went to the us a defeat international terrorism so if you haven't already. head over to r.t. dot com and cast your vote at the we want to know what you think. the bloody conflict in syria has reached a thirty year and yet as some european nations want to pour more weapons into the crisis torn country france and britain are threatening to bypass the e.u. arms embargo it's not lifted in order to back the rebels fighting against president assad the civil war has already claimed an estimated seventy thousand lives earlier we spoke to archie's marie ivanovna who has followed to the nation's plight from the beginning. i always compare today syria with the country i once visited before war and hatred and devastation came to these lands what we see today the country is

destroyed. and its heritage is damaged and despair is in the and fight is in so it's very painful to look at how the country actually has been changed talked wants to father whose son was just killed in a fight in the clashes he was he was so called. i was like how you feel about that you just lost a kid he was like i'm proud to be the father of a martyr because this is this is a fight against forces that. want to destroy our country and i want to protect my country and here is my input to this fight the hardest thing for me and for my crew was to to understand that to digest if you want that. peace and war we're sharing the same reality and gunman killing innocent civilians and children. had been cutting has of their people and again

civilians taking dinners and families walking on the streets in the same place at the same time and me is part of this reality as well there was there was the most difficult thing to understand cause space to see the future in syria but not in syria which is right now on the ground but in that syria that they used to leave before it's been a country of an amazing diversity it's been it's been one of the strongest points of assyrians and actually and actually it's it's been a very chilly turned to this series weakest points and i've been working on these idea and here's my report about that this part of syria known as mr. tamia between the tigris and euphrates rivers is considered a cradle of civilization has been home to many ask nic and religious groups living in peace and harmony for ages people here believe this diversity is serious strong

point but some warn it could also be used against the country and that's something to destroy. and to regime slogans in syria have been repeated to the longest of arab spring countries but assad didn't step down within weeks like the leaders of to measure and egypt nor did his regime fall within months like colonel gadhafi is in libya opposing sides have gone beyond demonstrations and clashes killing us have become an every day reality of those wanting our son to go both at home and abroad have decided to target would hurt the most serious diversity pitting people against each other after every massacre and every killing rivers of blood have been joined by streams of mutual accusations and hatred. the first blow was dealt to relations between the country's sunni majority and the ruling she had minority some more ignorant position and sometimes executed

. in order to make a city and it's not the more me once the one i don't. give our unity that we live in all of all of. it gabriel and poise from commercially living in syria's north east all green sunni dominated turkey and mostly shia iraq says here in about six tarion intolerance is something new for syria and very alarming. will feel this pressure for months now especially from gulf countries trying to drag us to this perilous share sunni game it's a big threat because a to society from the inside. and some say it's been feud from the outside it is part of the u.s. strategy and some of the western strategy is to destroy syria by syrians and by arabs and this they are doing successfully another blow followed with an explosion

at palestinian refugee camps in syria and the cold blooded murder of palestinian conscripts these drive a wedge between the two arab peoples previously on friendly terms they wanted to both weaken the regime and spread despair among palestinians. with kurdish villages in syria's north east targeted the kurdish syrian peaceful co-existence has also been endangered but one o'clock its approval cations a pure and very dangerous moment syrian kurds want to be integrated into syrian society have rights and be respected some turkish kurds maybe do as early ones killing his own people we've never been treated like that but of course when violence targets us it can't not affect relations. and fears are that those who wanted to see the fall of the regime will witness the country's fall instead. refinish from syria. our to contribute to action

a tons of believes that is aya to anti us that point is going to eventually backfire on the foreign nations doing it by definition that would be supplied by the french and british governments would be in the wrong hands because they are supplying rebels in a civil war and therefore they are the wrong hands no matter who britain or france and so this is i suppose what's interesting here is that washington is much more nervous about the arming of rebels because they are obviously concerned that the afghanistan scenario is beginning yet again but it is so sad that leaders of countries like france and britain can think of these as a missed because the blowback will be phenomenal. we just can't take it no malls says a new york because in just a few minutes we report on how allegations of brutality by the n.y.p.d.

these anger is the fact that the autopsy on kamandi gray was released on wednesday indicating that the sixteen year old boy was struck by the seven times by bullets and three of those bullets hit him from behind and this clearly. that has already been boiling for days many new yorkers believe this is another indication other example of a loose for talent of police targeting minorities according to the new york city police department what they say is that on saturday evening two plainclothes officers got out of a car in east flatbush around eleven thirty pm it was an unmarked car and were approaching kamani gray they said and at that point he was shuffling with his pants or his belt and according to police they say that gray out a gun and pointed it at the under cover officers and that's when they fired off a levin rounds at the teenager shooting him seven times by friends and family of

gray i spoke with one personally told me that this young boy would never ever point a gun at police at any police officer let alone you know two that were there on scene and there's more insight into the case coming up later this hour in breaking news that with maybe martin. what are the odds of the government or. in china the shift from one generation of leaders to the next one is a complete with a new prime minister league who chiang and now in charge of the world the second largest economy and there are a number of challenges of the successor of wen jiabao will have to face during one of the expected to be a ten decade in office a decade in office rather now

all the any leading china expert martin jogger's that is a washington that is getting increasingly what tends over the growth of its asian rival. it's the whole way now in which the chinese leadership is constructed i mean if it's if it's going to shift it's not a shift now it will shift you know several years down the road i think what would it mean for nations that the united states i mean relations with the united states have started to be getting more complicated and i think the reason for that is because the full you know china was very much still a developing country and a much weaker global power down the united states but china of course has been growing like crazy and is more and more present around the world in different continents and different countries so. interests are larval to be in conflict in more areas than with previously the case and i think this is the reason why it's getting more complicated. stay up to speed with the current
