with international news and comment twenty four hours a day and so to our breaking news this hour the u.s. military says there have been clashes between prisoners and guards amid a hunger strike at guantanamo bay the military coup says detainees are preventing guards from one of them during a hunger strike that has dragged on for more than two months officials say when officers tried to move prisoners from communal to single cells they resisted with improvised weapons leading guards to lethal rounds no injuries have been reported following the incidents which happened just hours after red cross representatives left the facility prisoners went on hunger strike in february in protest at alleged mistreatment and indefinite detention. lawyers claim that most of the one hundred sixty six prisoners who are taking part in this are on hunger strike we'll bring you a live report on this breaking news story now i believe from our reporter

who is in washington d.c. so gonna tell us what do you know about this incident so far. not much actually apparently this was a secret pre-dawn operation it took place hours after delegates of the international committee of the red cross left the remote island prison and a statement released by the u.s. military says the guards at guantanamo have fired four rounds of prisoners from non-lethal weapons they say the detainees covered surveillance cameras windows and partitions to prevent the guards from observing them during the ongoing congo's strike the guards allegedly clashed with the detainees which military officials say led them to move the captives from communal to single cells the military says the detainees used improvised weapons to resist the transfer they say that's when the guards started shooting at their captives as of now we have one side of the story

that of the u.s. military very soon will hear from the lawyers of the detainees and what they have to say that is of course if they have by now managed to get in touch with their clients there it's not clear if having moved them to single cells the prison also imposed other restrictions on them on top of the prisoners have been starving for more than two months now trying to bring attention public attention to their plight because they sense the administration would rather forget about them the state department closed the office that was working to transfer the remaining captives half of them by the way have been cleared for release their attorneys are saying that the prison has it has been doing all possible to stop the hunger strike they've been force feeding those who refuse all food they were there were claims that they brought down the temperature in the cells to make it harder to endure this strike and now we hear that they put them in separate cells. we're going to

thanks very much indeed for that would of course we'll be following developments there in going to them over the next few hours in the coming back to you then in washington d.c. but for the moment thanks very much indeed for that. but artie's going to come there in washington moscow has drawn up a list of americans suspected of having links to torture illegal arrests and the abduction of russian citizens and burned them from entering its territory the move as a response to washington blocking russians which officials in moscow dismissed as russophobia my colleague rory sushi spoke to our he's ready to question over about the standoff . russia has fired back but ultimately who's on the list and why did russia feel the need to publish it the first place right well it well it is really an exchange of a list of people that both countries suspect of violating human rights now fast the u.s. came up with this so-called magnitsky list of that was supposed list late on friday and that it was russia's turn ready and it responded with

a similar measure here but if we take a closer look at russia's list and it consist of two parts here are the fast one is devoted to those people responsible for human rights violations at one time a detention facility that there is a second part and there it is devoted to those people responsible for numerous human rights violations of those russian citizens abroad while you talk about these two lists here let's address a slightly smaller one is now being known as the guantanamo bay lift it's got four officials on it here we are here's one of them here david addington know formerly of the george w. bush administration he was supposed to oversee various methods of torture going on in guantanamo bay join you also of the george w. bush administration he actually wrote some memos on methods of torture including sleep deprivation and of course the in from of waterboarding and using the word in for most let's go to geoffrey miller. one taught him obeying cuba but also for most

abu ghraib prison in iraq of course that had amounts of scandals coming from that prison geoffrey robinson as well here's a man who was supposed to monitor human rights abuses them obey but all that was really triggered by the u.s. move and my colleague and this they see it in the new york now tells us what was really behind this whole situation and what glad to these contra measures the obama administration has released a list of russians to be blacklisted under the so-called magnitsky act despite moscow's calls not to put such a list together in the first place let alone publish it the list includes eighty nine. including sixteen judges and investigators in the united states accused of human rights abuses going to there were actually to the magnitsky case these individuals will be forbidden from getting a u.s. visa as well as have their assets frozen so they might need to keep was a russian lawyer who was arrested for tax evasion in two thousand and eight he died a year later while still in pretrial detention at the age of thirty seven since

then the u.s. has eagerly been exploiting the circumstances of my death which president putin said was a tragedy moscow warned washington that its handling of the case was a domestic issue for russia and russia alone and that the americans must not interfere responding to the so-called magnitsky list russia's prime minister admits in the fears of so the u.s. has the right to bar anyone from entering its territory by simply denying them a visa so the purpose of this additional ban is unclear except for its symbolism russia's concerns that the release of the documents comes at a bad time apart from putting out a strain on u.s. russian relations it comes ahead of the visit of the u.s. national security advisor to moscow on monday well what moscow is really mostly for straight about is that all these russians on the list had never been under any investigation and it was never prove that they had links with human rights abuses but non the last washington still without proving any of their guilt labels human

rights violators. under pressure from the members of the united states going there's been a serious blow to relations and mutual trust between russia and the united states and we had to respond and react to the proportionality to interfere in their internal affairs but you know one of the points i find very curious is the fact that all these lists there are no high ranking officials but from what i understand that could all change you're absolutely right here in these lists are the shirt for a longer extended list of both countries presides now there are reports that the. the u.s. secret list that has not been published yet even includes the name of the chechen leader thereof and russia in response says that it has its own extended version of the list so as you can see well a lot of a symmetrical moves here a lot of a tit for tat as some might say but apart from just the the law being that these so-called black lists between moscow and washington and washington and moscow the

two biggest boys on the block have also been trying to create laws that ultimately compound each other exactly well fast the u.s. introduced the need skill law and than it was followed by russia introducing a law that among other things banned u.s. citizens from adopting russian children and that adoption ban came after a string of child abuse this cases by u.s. foster parents however non the less russia was still highly criticized for the adoption ban the you asked if it's russia does not give a chance for a better live to so many children but what's so interesting here is that rory do you know which are the countries that never ratified the most important document pro-tax children rice across the globe the u.n. convention on the rights of her child or what i understand why do you know the

almost the entire united nations signed off and ratified this document but there were two left of to write two countries somalia and the united states some of the united states and in a culture about thank you well there are voices within russia claiming the magnitsky list has sunk the chance for moscow and washington to reset diplomatic ties alexei pushkov he's the head of the foreign affairs committee in the russian lower house of parliament he believes president obama is trapped by an anti russian mood among american lawmakers. the irony of all of this is that to my mind president obama has become hostage to this list has become hostage to the anti russian elements in the u.s. congress because basically obama needs a corporation was russia is a corporation in korea it is a corporation on iran on so many other regional and global issues corp if he wants to make progress in the cuts. nuclear armaments and so on birds by having signed

this law is like shooting oneself in the leg so i don't really see the rational for this from the point of your obama administration which claims to be an administration that is paying attention to multilateralism to international partnerships well i can say that by having enlarged the list the obama administration is definitely narrowing very much the possibilities for such a partnership with russia. well on our website at the moment we're asking you where the route between moscow and washington will lead to log on to our t dot com it's on our home page and vote on our on line poll well let's see how you've been voting so far here the results on screen most of you believe this will lead to even more tit for tat measures between washington and moscow twenty one percent think that this will not affect the key political issues between the two countries a slightly smaller number believe the end has now come for any dialogue between the two basically scuppering any chances for the resetting of those diplomatic

relations and some of the fear that measures will escalate and be blown out of control that's the minority fifteen percent so far that's what you think r.t. dot com good to hear from me. israel is under fire from human rights organizations over alleged mistreatment of palestinian children in israeli custody issues brought to light by the detention of a fourteen year old palestinian who also happens to be a u.s. citizen and claims to being physically abused during arrest and interrogation and under wabi an advocacy officer at a prisoner support and human rights association representing the detained palestinian child showed the details with r.t.

. behind it is being held in all thought a military prison which is just outside of ramallah we have had limited access to mohammad since his arrest his father has not seen him except in the few minutes during his court proceedings but we do know from what he has told us in the court that he has been. potentially abused in the prison he has told us that he has been slapped in the prison his braces are broken off and we are very concerned that he is being mistreated while under interrogation and in the prison we have heard several cases from other children as well forced confession. very harsh interrogation where they are denied access to their families and lawyers and they are coerced into confessing under harsh conditions for example we've had children who have told us that they've been threatened with sexual abuse with not being allowed to go back to school and so forth in the case of mohammad specifically. his father was at the police station and he heard his father's voice and interrogators

told him just confess now and we will let you go home with their father and so this poor child who has no idea what's going on ended up confessing to something and just because he was told he would be able to go home after this. was actually extended for a further two days because he is a dual citizen and he has much more attention for this case but the fact of the matter is that seven hundred palestinian children are arrested every year and they face the same conditions that mohamed faces as well as. the room more than just allegations of children being abused in custody the issue of palestinian prison this is a major sticking point in volatile relations with israel is. explains. the issue of palestinian prisoners is a burning one in the relations between israel and palestine there is almost five thousand palestinian prisoners some of them have been in israeli jails for decades

a lot of them have been there in the so-called preliminary detention which means that they're arrested with no charges pressed against them they're not told exactly what they're being arrested for and they're held in confinement with absolutely no legal substance to their confinement but the. time period from which they're jailed keeps being extended almost indefinitely and there's hundreds if not thousands of them and of course the palestinians are trying to get away with the prisoners have been trying to battle it with by their own means and that is a lot of them have actually gone on hunger strikes and in fact all of the forty five roughly forty five hundred palestinian prisoners forty two hundred of them have been on a hunger strike just recently but another probably died while in the desert from from cancer and his relatives as well as lawyers are saying that he was not treated properly by the israeli jail officials and unfortunately again this is not an isolated case they're saying that a lot of palestinian prisoners who are in israeli jails are not being given the

proper treatment by the authorities and this is an issue that has been on the surface for a very long time and even the is some of the israeli knesset members are saying that this is perhaps the easiest issue to solve you know to kind of settle the dispute between israel and palestine or at least take a first step but unfortunately these really physicians do not seem to be taking that very important first step. plenty more ahead for you this hour naughty including a retrial of egypt's president while the current leader faces mounting pressure. to look at mohamed morsi as failure to address the rise in sectarian violence that's coming your way after a short break stay with us all to you live in moscow. the

group of international and world in the very heart of moscow. news continues here in less than twenty four hours from now venezuelan stop voting for a new leader it's not a presidential election was triggered by the death of his last month will determine the course of one of the most oil rich nations in the world a short presidential campaign. allegations of conspiracies and assassination plots let's take a look at the to counter that. with. in the capital. important elections for the venezuelan people certainly snap elections after the death of this about a month ago it has been a short campaign and for every one who has been unfolding there are two top contenders in these elections on the one hand you have a nicolas maduro he's the acting interim president of the country he was the vice president during the thomases time and on the other hand you could come into this

as i have run i guess a good and options in october two thousand and twelve and he's a rival was talking about bringing change to the country now there's been a lot of name calling during this campaign period you have a model accusing us of being at the prince of the bush was he not representing the poor calling him capricious some of the other hand she's accusing me of being a liar or using this as a body to run a political campaign now however they did talk to both of them tough on the issue of tackling crime in the country this is a top concern of the citizens here they want to see the quantum level addressed and brought down the smallest of government bureaucracy and inefficiencies in the work staunchest supporters very loyal to. this system for the social socialist revolution began to continue this and some of them out of this loyalty to vote for nicolas maduro on the other hand you have those people who have been blaming the government for a lot of the problems of the country not least of these two which is why bureaucracy and what they say is

a bit of stagnation in terms of the way business is going in the country and they say they will vote for the best so many are watching these elections closely not least of which is the united states and has had strained relations so with the country during the time of google chavez the for everyone else who is observing and want to know what happens next the question they want to answer really is what stuff is that is really going to take in the hands of somebody other than this. would be really more expert opinion on venezuela's future over the next twenty four hours and also don't miss live coverage of the election here on alt. the retrial of egypt's deposed president hosni mubarak has opened with a surprising move on the part of the judge who has withdrawn from the case referring it to another court announcement was met with angry shelves and is about was only sentenced to life for conspiring to kill protesters during the unrest that toppled him but a retrial was ordered after he appealed the verdict the proceedings are taking

place against the backdrop of growing discontent with the current president's policies morsi in his ruling islam is party are facing mounting pressure of a lack of democratic reforms and a worsening economic situation in addition the current government is also blamed for a rise in sectarian violence is true. days after a brutal assault on egypt's main coptic cathedral activists and opposition leaders meet to discuss a response many of them like tony sabri a christian protester who was trapped inside the church say they're still in shock . because. their taxes from everywhere even from the street next to the gas stations by the. police called insults out of this one a civilians bombarded us with molotov cocktails rocks rubber bullets and live ammunition and the police protected the whole michael they were bishops fainting

and. the nation was shocked on sunday and bloody scenes of egypt's security forces firing tear gas and birdshot bullets directly at mourners gathered on st marks beach or here behind me one of the main churches to coptic christians president mohamed morsi has promised to investigate and his alleged comments saying an attack on this could be true was an attack on himself has done little to satisfy the coptic christian community with divisions deepening between the two religions many fear the worst has yet to come in the aftermath of the attack coptic pope to watch the second criticize the president for failing to pay. text the cathedral members of the clergy present at the scene also demanded answers. the cathedral has never been attacked before who were the people outside the cathedral and why did the police not even attempt to intervene why didn't they arrest one single person. had been a riot egypt director of human rights watch agrees government neglect is contributing

to rising sectarian turmoil part of the problem is the way the authorities respond to incidents where there's violence between muslim and christian communities there's a long history of purity for sectarian violence and a fairly it's really acknowledge that there is a serious problem the reason sunday is such a worrying precedent is that we saw the police we saw images of the police finding with people who are throwing stones or sometimes shooting at cathedral grounds leading member of the ruling freedom and justice party dr amr darrag admits the police behaved unprofessionally but claims the state is not to blame the christian community has been suffering from the from the behavior of the previous regime you find all the time people trying to ignite the situation trying to cause chaos trying to spread violence as part of the of the air force to. bring down the revolution so it is very likely that these forces are behind this as we would like

to know who is behind this and bring it to justice despite these assurances with only two prosecutions for sectarian violence since the revolution many believe the new muslim brotherhood government is continuing mubarak's culture of impunity in the meantime thousands continue to demand justice for the cathedral victims and christians like tony say they will continue to protest in till the government acts this is true for r t. well turning to some other news making headlines this hour on the world in london's trafalgar square hundreds of opponents of the late margaret thatcher have been celebrating her death the former prime minister's strongest critics and together in the british capital she died but remains deeply divided over the legacy of furniture and her there from the age of eighty seven renewed the debate over time. power which ended over two decades ago.

hundreds of people turned out in berlin to protest against the eviction of a sick sixty seven year old woman who later died in a homeless shelter mourners laid flowers and lit candles in her memory rapidly rising rents in the capital or force the number of long term residents from their homes to the outskirts of the city where costs are cheaper. in our world update the first case of bird flu has been confirmed in the chinese capital beijing it seven and nine virus has already killed eleven nationwide with more than thirty having being infected but critics are warning against mass panic because seen in the case of swine flu in two thousand and nine when pharmaceutical companies benefited after government splashed millions on vaccines many of which were later thrown away. well that brings up the fate for the moment i'll be back with a news team with wolf in about thirty four minutes from now in the meantime we have the latest edition of our financial program the kaiser report that's coming away after the break.

with oil pipes bursting in arkansas people across the u.s. they start to realize that they are moving towards what the atlantic calls the infrastructure cliff in short america's infrastructure start to get a bit old and according to infrastructure port org the u.s. needs about three point six trillion dollars of infrastructure spending by two thousand and twenty to turn things around the site sponsored by the american society of civil engineers gave all aspects of american infrastructure bridges and drinking water in schools cetera some pretty bad great except for solid waste removal for some reason in their opinion everything in the us is going to crap except for america's ability to throw solid crap away i'm not trying to sit here and scare you there is nothing to fear this is a big challenge but it is a very possible one to accomplish according to cost of war dot org the last ten

years of war have cost about three point one trillion dollars just cutting wars in half by fifty percent could put a huge dent in the infrastructure spending and what about all those billions in bailout that were spent you see the money is there it just gets wasted if the money stops getting thrown away and starts getting spent on a well planned infrastructure then the infrastructure will start paying for itself rock'n infrastructure creates wealth so don't fear the infrastructure cliff just stop wasting money or allowed politicians to waste money and everything will turn out to be just fine but that's just my opinion. download the official location. stream quality and
