pledges to station a permanent force in mali described early claims there and the insurgency mission would be over in a matter of weeks. i did take me on a hunger strike of one ton of obey allegedly trying to take his own life as inmates reach breaking point with the protests now in his third month. and no escape from prying eyes the private investigation industry is thriving in britain as a leg of legal restrictions allows anyone to tabs on you at any time. wherever you're watching from around the world or this is our duty to bomb would say the pentagon is sounding the alarm over the french troops withdrawal from mali saying local forces are unfit to take over paris pulled the first contingent out of the

volatile state on tuesday they plan to withdraw three quarters of their force by the end of the year and keep a thousand strong deployment the front intervened in mali in jail region dr islam as rebels out of the country and as syria polls a lot has changed for paris as since the start of the mission they say though that they still plan on that continuing that reduction of their four thousand strong military personnel currently on the ground and keeping these a one thousand troops they say will be part of a few sure you when a peacekeeping mission however this is in stark contrast to what french foreign minister now for five years had said in sharing everything. regarding france's direct involvement it is only a matter of weeks later on we can come as barca but we have no intention of staying forever. now the french have gone into mali a warning against the threat of as long as the extremism advanced in europe now clearly any plan of

a complete withdrawal is off the table now this one thousand troops that they plan to keep on the ground falls under a call made by u.n. secretary general ban ki moon and deploying about eleven thousand two hundred troops and one thousand four hundred forty police on the ground in mali after major combat now bunking with one also includes a parallel force one that will directly deal with all kind of the link militants and extremists according to reuters and this is likely to be french troops as well while also spoken with a former french intelligence officer who had been stationed in northern africa and the middle east for about twenty years and he says the from the very start he had been doubtful that this operation in mali was going to be short exposure to the insurgents and distance from the cities ok it was not so complicated. and so what they would do to get through to the people from jeff is to come back

exactly as they did you have got to stand against this when the soviets. in the one nine hundred ninety exactly as they would do in afghanistan in the year when the last american so deal with exactly as they did as they did an iraq when the u.s. troops. did so from his book if not before because i'm going to see shortbread don't exist now where francois long had first announced this military operation in mali two thirds of the french people were in support of these actions now many observers and analysts have already said that if this becomes a long drawn out war public opinion could quickly change. just as the first foreign troops were leaving mali france was engaged in a major often serve to wipe out militant hideouts in the previously liberated area of the country artist hugo of peace cannot examines the challenges throughout the campaign that stretched the military from the very beginning. miley has become yet

another front in the global war on terror but this anti terror operation just may be too difficult to scale down so quickly first let's review what's already been done and more importantly how efficient is what this operation started with and support of ground troops from the skies has always been one of its foundation stones the first planes to battle the islamists came from here a french military base in chad helicopter support came from another base in so some of the aviation was a leader to the capital of mali and some other bases were engaged as well like the ones in ivory coast and year but then there's the question of refueling the mission for pilots going out of chad for instance usually takes seven to eight hours and they have to be refueled five times along the way this is where the u.s. and germany come in but if german planes have to come from sinegal an american planes have to come all the way from spain so all together this is quite

a complicated combat scheme when it comes to ground troops the french got into this by themselves somalis army was and still is demoralized if four and a half thousand troops even can be called in the army and pretty much the only supporters that the french have and quite unexpectedly i might add are two thousand troops from chad and when it comes to the west well no one's keen on sending troops there directly britain is only looking at sending combat instructors to train troops with all this effort paris has managed to push the islamist to the north of the country securing key cities with fighting still going on in the mountains and a string of suicide bomber attacks in the several cities it's clear that the islamists are not exactly all out nor are they defeated which raises the comparison with another country afghanistan where the terrorists live in the midst of peaceful civilians the also use so-called hit and run guerrilla tactics so the french have been combing through have valley north of golf believe that. many of the islamists

can be hiding there but the question is what comes next if we look at the neighboring countries well their borders are porous and experts say the islamists could travel through them without any serious problems they also warn the past decades has shown that such interventions don't solve crises but deepen them and generate new conflicts there are rising fears nearby western sahara could turn into a new terror hub and right now it's really unclear who's going to turn who's going to take care of that problem and hell if most of french troops to leave it's going to be a completely different game for the remaining thousand the un is talking about some additional attack force but so far it's merely an idea while the clock is ticking investigative journalism michel call on the things that africa is instability in the proof is the perfect excuse for the west to intervene and explain the continent's untouched resources. if you want to establish it in your region first

you have to get rid of the river shamisen you have to ask why the out of this region you have to consider that africa. hundred percent of all raw materials crude crude for the economy grows up when the contras especially china brazil india and so on. would have to go similar that actually the united states very active in the region we africa and installing military bases try and kills armies in somalia i. mean all the area out there you have to consider that for trying to keep the prevalence of the companies so there is actually do daldry that really. be antonymous. decide about what will be done with the results as you have to consider

the. war and also the next country in the area very important we know you're in your group and they are poor because of the kind of miracle and there is not the west and you have to cope where we. grow seen great history or leave you where. you lose. it's a fight actually against africa and against the possibility of. as a mass hunger strike at guantanamo bay continues for the third month a lawyer for one of the protesters has just been told his client tried to commit suicide according to a letter from another inmate to the incident took place last month it's still not clear whether the men succeeded in taking his own life the u.s. military has strongly denied the claim saying there have been no reason suicide attempts and that no lives are in danger at guantanamo lawyers meet a different picture that some one hundred thirty detainees. trying to starve

themselves to death protests at least treatment and indefinite detention legal appeals and a mounting public outcry are putting more pressure on the white house to deliver on its promises to close the facility but as they have it as you can report the pentagon is committed to pumping more cash into keeping it open. the time of each detainee in guantanamo costs us taxpayers eight hundred thousand dollars a year there one hundred sixty six captives on the island now half of them have been cleared for release so there's absolutely no reason to have them there but the u.s. still spends millions of dollars every year to keep them behind bars many find it even more puzzling in light of ongoing furloughs among public sector workers let's put this number eight hundred thousand dollars in perspective not a lot of people can boast costing the government eight hundred thousand dollars a year a prisoner in the u.s. cost the taxpayers twenty seven thousand dollars thirty times less that is the average salary of

a public school teacher here is fifty one thousand dollars one guantanamo detainee cost taxpayers more than the president himself he makes four hundred thousand dollars a year and if you think that the details of a luxurious life there you're wrong to quote general john kelly who is in command of the facility is falling apart so there he was two weeks ago asking congress for almost two hundred million dollars to renovate one tunnel that should come on top of the one hundred seventy seven million dollars that the government spends every year to keep the prison running will the investment make the detainee's lives easier most of whom are there without having the informally accused of anything maybe not that none of these projects would still lifestyle if you will but some of the projects will curity better ease of movement for them that will benefit the guard force not the detainees but on top of renovations there are the costs and the taxpayers bill for keeping guantanamo open is only going to go up there aging as we

all are and there are a certain lack of support facilities in that general area. and if we're planning on keeping them there forever there's an enormous amount of expense in terms of both caring for the inmates. and then also dealing with our staff down there that has to do that. you know i think medical care is one of the biggest concerns this kind of investment suggests that the authorities they're not going to see the prison close they need time pricing keep saying they're committed to shutting it down but they never say when in congressman smith metaphor we've got you know the not to use the cliche joe but it is the hotel california you check in but you can't ever check it in washington i'm going to check on you as a whole as an authentic colonel barry when dead to represent the some of the detainees and that's was but i know from guantanamo he said the president not being

held without trial because no charges can be brought against them i don't think the problem that's a really it's a blunt automobile i think the problem originates in washington d.c. i've reviewed the cases of my clients and i can tell you that the information in those cases it takes three ploy let's talk about what is the so-called evidence came about it was back in the bush cheney administration we were talking about imminent attacks and danger color charts and wonder do you can crop dusters and attack forces attacking them like it's going to be friday that's the same information that they're trying to say today that somehow relevant or valid when in fact if they could find even what i am sure you would shut me up they would do that human rights organization that's supposed to be here get something which in fact is doing very little i think that the regime finally indicate to. you that they've been wholly irrelevant and that you know if you're a human rights organization and you're supposed to be involved in report on what's happening in a prison officer or that's out of sight and out of mind and you fail to do that

then you've made a decision connected to favor one side and that's not the mission we were in guantanamo bay. the u.s. military has bugged the media from visiting the facility until at least next month and art is already in the queue they for any axes in the meantime they would bring a new comprehensive coverage of events at the detention center with testimonies from lawyers as well as commentary from officials experts and activists all on the website dot com coming up but here on our see the. cool thing we have slaves we report on how many young educated greeks as seen the moving abroad as the only option as a study and joblessness take a strong stranglehold on their country.

the movie about international airport in the very heart of moscow. you're watching argy live from moscow thousands of private investigators are now operating in britain and their ranks continue to grow with the help of modern spyware readily available in stores anyone can become a p.r. and legal loopholes allow them to work on license and andre just it sounds rude reports. for you to watch somebody or watch them. you know fortunately there are a lot of people though no use bribery the use corruption and the and. it's not difficult to make yourself visible it's more difficult to be relaxed lawyers because when you first start you're always thinking oh my goodness they they know i just know they know that. they don't there are now an estimated ten thousand

private investigators operating in britain despite being perceived as a shadowy world of whispers in secret the industry continues to grow in fact it's moving from the shadows and on to the high streets as of course the covert devices fulls more and more individuals are making the surveillance gadgets easily available in stores like this one and the world of private investigation it's attracting some interesting characters i'm just not suspected as who just twenty one years old live is worked at answers investigations for a year now she knows her way around like a verse a quick well she's fast learning the tricks of the trade electoral rolls lars investor. out of all of that kind of stuff it's all available quite a lot of people mainly because obviously they've ration is there is always been there but they just ashamed. i think. that it has nothing really but

recently the law governing public surveillance in the changed the protection of freedoms act two thousand and twelve was introduced ensuring local authorities obtain legal authorization before they put anyone under surveillance after it was revealed that many were using surveillance for minor matters such as littering the private investigators though no such law exists i could go out and do surveillance so i don't have to get any or four of his from anybody of. surveillance want to want a recent reports by big brother watch documented local authorities who will bypassing regulation by hiring private investigators. why many and now calling for industry licensing i think it's absolutely essential that we have some kind of regulation over private investigators

a licensing system that means that we know who exactly is license and means of surveillance like. having spent thirty years in the police force former detective inspector james harrison gryphus plays well the risks of private investigation in the wrong hands you know you've read about the killings and all that sort of thing that go on when people disappear and there's a lot of people disappear. under pressure from from people to do certain things that they don't want to do and then the people who pressure on them want to find them and you've got to do your due diligence and make sure that you're not putting anybody you know in a position of danger but with tell you that cameras listening devices tracking devices and much more all now available cheaply on the high street these days anyone can be a private investigator there's nothing secret anymore in this in this country i mean walking down the high street you know under surveillance surveillance the surveillance is just there it's what happens. you know if it's

a way of life that was me but the lack of regulation means that in the u.k. right now anyone can at any time be watching you no one is watching that sort of. london. on our karma right now cos league heroes of find out how us pharmaceuticals giants have made a seven hundred billion dollars over the last decade by overcharging since as citizens. make up a load of founder kim dotcom is demanding an apology from the new zealand government find out it was absurd to the had turned a billionaire on our dot com. welcome
