years do you think the condemnation from the u.s. now that we're hearing will sort of influence the situation at the prison and we've been covering this story at length as you know. the doesn't seem to agree much give over the last couple of months. well we finally heard from president obama yes you have been silent for many many years how since he committed to close the curtain and yesterday we finally. i really need you to ever have your confirmation that the president i'm destroyed because new york law and i'm sure you've been speaking to me telling your brother to still have the same resolve as what went into this. is the resolve is still there we just had our counsel visit yesterday we had my co-counsel and richard said will be next week and he remains committed so you continue to protest not just. a priest but now also wards of the prisoners and his indefinite detention without any sort of records and

a severe denigration of civil rights and civil liberties and the aggregation of power by federal government authorities and by law enforcement against individual since two thousand and one a round seven hundred and ninety billion dollars had reportedly been spent on cementing america's homeland security apparatus a platinum wall of defense easily shattered by inexpensive pressure cookers ball bearings nails and differing bomb building manuals that could be found on the internet you just can't prevent terrorism. with with these surveillance technologies i can go into a right and walk with the makings of a bomb. build a bomb in my own house put it in a backpack. put it on a street corner and kill fifteen or twenty people three people died and more than two hundred seventy were hospitalized last month after twins exploded near the boston marathon finish line by terrorist attack in broad daylight that no camera or

law enforcement official was able to prevent i believe this was a massive failure of the sick the surveillance state that we've created in america since nine eleven we have spent over seven hundred billion dollars on national security and a lot of that is surveillance with the help of surveillance video the f.b.i. was eventually able to identify the boston bombing suspects however the best images did not come from a public camera the video was reportedly filmed by a private camera belonging to the department store lord and taylor every publicly installed camera for every camera that the n.y.p.d. puts out or bloomberg kelley puts out or or some security agency puts out there's anywhere from thirty to fifty privately installed as they're being installed everywhere it's a pin up the car everywhere you go you're being watched in new york city the u.s.

capitol of surveillance four thousand security cameras are mounted just in lower manhattan alone just a visual recognition has become the new normal in the big apple and recently city officials proclaimed privacy to be off the table the attacks in boston and the news that new york city was nest on the terrorist list shows just how critical it is for the federal government to devote resources to high risk areas it also shows just how crucial it is for the n.y.p.d. to continue to gather x. to expand its counterterrorism capabilities and intelligence gathering activities meanwhile u.s. president is questioning whether his administration needs to apply new strategies to tackle domestic terrorism or the more things that we can do. whether it's. engaging in pune engaging with communities where there's a potential for self radicalization of this of this sort. is there work that can be done in terms of detection detecting terror in the homeland eleven and

a half years after america's global war on terror began marina port r.t. new york. now take a look at some other stories from around the world an american citizen has been sentenced to fifteen years of hard labor in north korea accuses him of attempting to overthrow the regime the forty four year old was arrested last november after entering north korea as a tourist this comes at a time of tense relations between pyongyang and washington which escalated after north korea's third nuclear bomb test in february. sorties in chad say they for oil the plot to overthrow the government several people including an opposition lawmaker have been arrested a government statement says security forces have been tracking the earlier is for as fair as that for the past four months and the central african nation has a long history of uprisings the current president himself after nine hundred ninety . at least twenty two people were killed in iraq on wednesday in

a series of attacks across the country this comes after last week's bloody clashes that sparked a wave of violence claiming over two hundred thirty lives and fueling fears that the nation could slip further into sectarian chaos the latest and arrest comes a decade after once proud claim a victory in its operation iraqi freedom norman solomon director of the institute for public your accuracy things instability in iraq is only likely to deepen. there's a very corrupt interest truck sure and a lot of political repression torture and chilling both in public and behind prison walls which was also the case under saddam hussein but i think that by most measures the magnitude has been the u.s. in a worse in the last ten years going forward the prospects look very grim i think that the united states government should be apologizing to the american people for the

lies and especially to the iraqi people because of so much evil and injury that continues to take place because of and in the aftermath of the invasion occupation under the bush cheney administration it was all effort to justify a pump up the war on things laureus a lot of the problem we have is that the. reality of the war is followed up by president bush and then president obama to the extent that there's not honesty about the whys that were the basis of the war and the suffering that is the result of the war. construction is in full swing and the russian far east to finish the country's new space launch side the first unmanned launch from the new cosmic drone was expected in two thousand and fifteen with manny more flights to follow r.t. later she ask your reports on what's behind the ambitious project. this site is now

a manned space ship will take off from here to the moon which will then circle the earth satellites orbit just the beginning that life will play way to a whole new moon exploration program with plans to build an observatory and the research lab on the lunar surface already voiced by russian scientists should that be successful a whole string of facilities including helium mining shafts may follow there's even a possibility that now lifeless planet could be made inhabitable by humans and enjoying a quiet evening watching lunar landscapes from the balcony of a moon hotel will no longer be science fiction but an absolutely real option well of the case for investing in gold is stronger than ever despite the recent price live according to our financial guru max kaiser his latest show coming up at seven thirty am g.m.t. explains why. that's a new phenomenon usually when the price of gold goes down people have been sellers because they believe hollywood they believe washington they believe obama they
