ghar ghar t.v. dot com. u.s. officials and the mainstream media dismiss and ignore allegations of a life threatening crisis at guantanamo where more than a hundred detainees are reportedly on hunger strike for second month. by two years of volumes and seventy thousand lives lost in syria some was some nations are ready to send more on this to the rebels including antitank an anti aircraft weapons. and to the once in a decade policy shift is complete in china where the new president and prime minister said to impose political policies that will shape the world.

at six pm here in moscow you live with us on r.t. i'm to one with say. lawyers are for more than one hundred detainees on a hunger strike at guantanamo bay state many of them are close to death the situation has become so desperate representatives of the captives have made a direct appeal to the u.s. defense secretary but u.s. officials deny the allegations and much of the mainstream media remains on moved as artie's gannett should you can't 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 deal 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 things like loss of hearing chancel blindness and in a couple of weeks we're stunned that ultimately you know that substantial is there 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 where one of very few channels to congress this story there's a desire to kind of forget about guantanamo it's very much reflected in the mainstream media here and in the scarce where porting that we have seen on the air in washington i'm going to check on human rights groups are on the plane raising the alarm over the cruelty being inflicted at guantanamo delta mark mason an expert on depression says the conditions that give blood detainees are being held in a little too short of torture 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 very important schuman interactions ranging from our family members to community and now quite frankly with the internet we are should not put this is site is something trivial. and many people in our generation to this day and age 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 in debt 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 our web site we want to know your opinion on the matter every voice counts at our or you can tell us when and if you think one time away will eventually close let's look at our pipe all here serve all most of you believe they give more will always be open because washington has no interest in shutting it down a round of for of you say the facility you will cease to exist when the us runs out of money to maintain it slightly less reckon it will close after another prison is set up as a replacement and barely anything there that the painful history of guantanamo will end when the us defeats international terrorism so if you haven't already just head over to r.t. dot com and have your say. the bloody conflict in syria has reached a third a year and yet some european nations want to pour more weapons into the crisis torn country you foreign ministers will look at the possibility of lifting an arms in

bargo in syria next week after france and britain made a major push to put to more guns into the hands of anti assad forces the civil war has already claimed an estimated seventy thousand lives earlier we spoke to r.t. is maria for national who has followed the nation's pride from the beginning. i always compare today's 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 the air so it's very painful to look at how the country actually has been changed i've talked wants to do a father whose son was just killed in a fight in the clashes he was he was so called process i was like how you feel about that you just lost your kid and 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's my input to this fight the hardest thing for me and my crew was to to understand that to digest if you want that. peace and war were 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 because they still 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 ideas 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 athletic 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 the regime slogans in syria have been repeated to the longest of all the 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 killings have become an everyday reality those wanting to go both at home and abroad have decided to target what 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 to move in once the one i don't. give our unity that we live in all of all of. 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 from months now especially from gulf countries trying to drag us to this perilous share soon again it's a big threat because a to society from the inside. and some say it's been few from the outside it is part of the us 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 a palestinian refugee camps in syria and the cold blooded murder of palestinian conscripts these drove 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 across 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 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 weakness the country's fall instead. from syria. country which action or a time to believe that is diet and that flight is could eventually backfire on 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 the 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 the mists because the blowback will be phenomenal. we don't take it anymore well say new york is saying just a few minutes alluding colton how allegations are we tell it by the n.y.p.d. have taken the people of brooklyn to the limit. and there's now a new play in the quest to find life outside the blue planet to find out who is said to rival nesses curiosity a robot on mas off to a shopping. cart

welcome back you're watching r t n china the shift from one generation of leaders to the next one is a complete new prime minister likud china is now in charge of the world's second largest economy efface is the challenge of boosting economic growth which has slowed in recent years a recent report of from price water coopers a says that by twenty seventeen china will match the u.s. as of the world's leading economy before surging ahead also to increase is military spending now the struggle for regional influence between beijing and washington is longstanding this map now that we have up all for you that's coming up now well this map of the the whole increase in its military presence shows that the

u.s. has actually increased its presence there we go the u.s. has increased its presence actually are surrounding the chinese area. which has caused a concern for the chinese leaders now we can talk live with correspondent and away in beijing about this now china is the world's second largest economy and promises to become the biggest how will the new leaders in show growth continues. well dirty used to be a superstitious belief almost in china about eight percent growth rate of the national g.d.p. however that number has been slowed down to about seven point five percent that this number being subscribed to by the national people's congress right now going on in beijing it has to be a slow down number because china is doing this transition from a growth in quantity to a growth in quality but the same time has to be at a certain level the number because it has to enjoy or make sure that there's going

to be nothing employment opportunities for the common people is just just an economic issue rather is a political issue of how to do that many argue it is extremely important to do reform reform really has been the key word for the new generation of leaders coming into power recently mr lee could chow who is did now the cut chinese premier he's been talking about reform is the largest ever this china can enjoy over its course for the progress you also said reform is almost like rowing a boat these are not going forward you're going backward but a lot of tough but whether real actions can be taken really fast enough we officially about that's still a question highly there but many chinese have been talking to are quite confident about the future that the my have in the next two years even though the number you measure might not necessarily be what they are looking at still china's economy is moving up that is for sure back to you and now there's an ongoing powell struggle taking place in the age of pacific how will the new chinese leader to deal with

that. it is interesting you use the word power struggle with the child. is according to the official sources of these do not see it that way because china the chinese president mr xi jinping after being elected by the national people's congress was calling him a delay to our president obama of the united states and he advocated if the two countries could have mutual respect and openness to one another things can be better and he's been talking about a new kinds of relations between new powers and that of course the definition is not being given by the chinese side however it seems that the u.s. has already got its own definition for example pivot to asia or rebalancing and as a result there has been increasing number of turturro disputes and or disputes in other stores between china and some of the asian neighbors will start to come in

the united states by be a backup for them in the region but the china seems always want to have a peaceful neighborhood does seems to be a really believe the chinese have been holding over the history and it is important that the chinese believe to settle your territorial disputes with its eight neighbors is as east asia however it is pointing his finger to japan and say it is a mistake up to japanese to that they be making over the past two years in terms of territory this is with china that you can away thank you very much for that analysis live from beijing for us here on our team. also and leading china expert martin jog says washington is getting increasingly more tense over the growth of its asian rival. the whole way now which the chinese leadership. it's going to shift it's not a shift now it will shift here several years down the road i think what it means for nations with 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 fool you know china was very much still a developing country on a much weaker global power down the united states but china of course has been growing like crazy is more and more present around the world in different continents and different countries so. interests are going to be in conflict in more areas than with previously the counties and i think this is the reason why it's getting more complicated samp to speed with the current international news online and call where today we report on an ill fated campaign i report suggests the much anticipated nato with jol from afghanistan in twenty fourteen will leave the country defenseless against militant attacks. also online just days after the inauguration of the new pope but the pontiff the sister claims he is just the man to cope with the many scandals surrounding the camp in

a simmer ahead of the country's may general elections. on the way back to the syrian conflict our team brings you the personal experiences and recollections of journalists who spend seven months in the water on state. a u.n. investigator ben emmerson has decided to not let the sins of the recent past go he's demanding that the u.s. government release documents about the cia's program over addition and secret detention of suspected terrorists everson believes that there is now credible evidence that shows that cia black sites were used to extradite suspected terrorists with neither charges nor access to a lawyer you know nothing says protect

a democracy like snagging people in foreign countries without even charging them with a crime this huge investigator may have good intentions but the thing is that no matter how much he and his u.n. pals urge the u.s. to prosecute officials connected with torture or expose classified information they really have no power to do anything if you haven't noticed the u.n. is very happy to section punish someone countries birdie if you out there naive enough to think that they'll sanction the usa or send a peacekeeping mission to stop the human rights violators in washington not a chance the un really has no business meddling in the affairs of sovereign countries but they do it all the time but there is a zero percent chance that the un will stand up to the bad behavior from the us government no matter how much it's investigators whine and plead and beg but that's just my opinion.

they've been living this way since the seventeenth century. their rituals are strict. their communities on the silicon. they clearly distinguish between their own and the alien. and guard their family and thing and the treasure. a whole. morning's today violence is once again fled up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. shining top for a shelter all day.
