and. the united nations can damage what it calls the torture of detainees at guantanamo bay while the lawyer for one of the captives u.s. authorities are not doing enough and the message are strong there. countdown is on for the grand opening of st petersburg's a new multimillion dollar mariinsky to europe and take you on an exclusive tour of the venue. displaced by violence in their homelands but in the west we look at the lines of refugees where we are asylum claims rejected by the leaving them with nowhere to go. they want to know is he going to live from the russian capital is ten am here on marina joshie welcome to the program the united nations has branded the treatment

of detainees at guantanamo bay as torture the u.n. human rights office says that indefinite detention and force feeding constitute inhumane treatment and violate international law this comes as more prisoners joined a growing three month hunger strike at the u.s. facility in cuba the american military admits that the total number of protesters is now over one hundred but lawyers for the captives have said all along that the actual figure is even higher twenty three detainees are now being force fed a procedure that said to be extremely painful well earlier my colleague kevin no one spoke to spoke was cindy who represents one of the inmates and she says washington is failing to take the steps needed to defuse the crisis and one tunnel . the prisoners are quiet over and over and on strike february sixth he has chosen. not to speak and the. in protest of its intention forcing

someone to do what they don't want to do or at a time now strapping them to chair and sticking to their nose is depriving them of their liberties and you have it walk with their own body but you don't love to do that anywhere and most places in the world to kill yourself is not legal. sure they get a jew chief care the prison doubly that has to come into it somewhere. yes but the problem here is that this wouldn't help to force this problem could be resolved something as simple as meeting with them talking to the prisoner at discussing with them what it is it's going to mix and the hunger strike and it's as simple as allowing them to return or to not have their current search that they haven't seen very many years do you think the condemnation from the u.n. now that we're hearing will settle in for just ration 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 on the issue he had been silent for many many years how since he committed to close the curtain and yesterday we find we. really need you ever and your confirmation that the president well destroyed his new york law and i'm sure you've been speaking to me telling your brother to still have the same resolve visually went into this. the resolve is still there we just had our co-counsel visit him yesterday we have my co-counsel and richardson will be with me next week and he remains committed so you are continuing to protest not just. at the base but now also forced even of the prisoners and his indefinite detention without any sort of records. coming up in the program here in our teeth brother a blind american security system is set for

a major overhaul after it failed to prevent the boston terror attack despite the war than a decade of costly surveillance. same bit as burke that is various world renowned mariinsky theatre which introduced the nutcracker ballet to the world is poised to celebrate the opening of its new state of the art twin you with a grand. would say takes you back stage of one of the most ambitious cultural projects in modern russian history. it was a full house here at the marion ski theatre she had the pre opening evening performances where veterans of my reinstate war veterans as well as a performance arts culture and of the who's who of us and peters that we invited here for there's a pretty rehearsal evening now of course everybody in st petersburg and around the world has been waiting in anticipation for this new space as we all know as marine steve the mother started the new marine skis be to as well renowned to but after

ten years and seven hundred million dollars are spent on making this grand space we're already to see what it was like and why importantly what the sound from the performances sounded like and nothing was short of a spectacular now of course this evening was meant to highlight how the space can work in terms of the different genres and the different performances from opera to ballet to all kids show us all here in this interchangeable stage of course so one of the best people we're looking on for tonight was none other than a district director over the marines do you fear one and what if you fear to see a valerie get together he gave a stunning performance when he moved us of course he was not the only pulmo we were looking for one of the one of russia's renowned pianists was also here who should a little bit about what he thought the space meant for him in the best new.

worlds. one of the most important things to steve fossett is incredible now do we know that the performances do sound amazing and we know what to look out for on the grand opening of mary's give here to chief what about the space itself where early on i caught up with some of us in petersburg to see to find out what they thought about the space that this is so great to meet so for more of them and or with our future isn't. modern technologies that's why i. like this building this fear too will attract more young people about the pre opening performances highlighted of the capacity of the stage the supreme variety of the performances they can actually put up on the stage and of course on how to merge very successfully classical as well as contemporary performances so join us on our eighty on the second of may as we bring you live here on the ground to air opening performances at the muddy ski theatre to

from st petersburg that's it for me for now i look forward to giving you more i'd tell you everything you need to know about this new space join me to mahmoud's a second of may money here on r.g.p. petersburg well the curtain rises on the inaugural performance at eight pm moscow time and will be also bringing you full coverage online at r.t. dot com. tens of thousands of rejected asylum seekers are living in the u.k. without homes or jobs and unable to go back to their own countries artie's point boyko went to glasgow to find out more about their plight are as floodwaters on iraq he's been in glasgow for five years and he's had three asylum claims rejected so he has no right to work and nowhere to live he's here illegally or just been this shit for three artists i can go back to you know because i am under the threat

the assassin of my family all my family nowadays he sleeps on the floor of this gym in a shelter inside the local community center but for iran and others just like the abject poverty he's subjected to is still better than going home or the home office to get in as like this is. the home of his so you know i can see where they are not the right they lend to us. how is iraq safe. the. last america last week a lot of people being kidnapped by the teacher is in iraq in the spirit of my city where the home of his isn't always a safe i mean there is no theories about are they lying to you they one thing you go back i mean. they want to get the radio off you we asked the u.k. home office about their policy towards just she silence is this is the statement we got failed asylum seekers have no right to remain in the u.k. and no need for protection they have

a duty to return home and any support provided is temporary well individuals make those arrangements the u.k. government will see people don't need to be in this situation but i think that callously masks the reality they are in limbo mainly for years i have to tell you who are living with nothing absolutely nothing not even the u.n. millennium goal over in five dollars pity this is absolutely nothing glasgow city authorities say they want to help people like harassed but that their hands are tied because of policies made over six hundred kilometers away in westminster the law has been constructed in such a we actually illegal for the council to provide support for asylum seekers so what has happened is that the numbers of people have started to build up with apparently the isis or school scotland's biggest city is the first in the u.k. openly condemned the government's treatment failed asylum seekers we want to treat

people with compassion in school and they get in government and the star where well it's not known exactly how many destitute solem seekers there are drifting about the state because of the home office projects a case they slip through the net or disappear from the view of authorities so they're left with no support no way of working in a city that's just behind the post in the u.k. the shell volunteers provide a hot meal for a few hours at least men and women can experience a safe environment i think it must be really difficult to be in a city. you don't know anyone. you might be called speak the language you don't know what the law is you don't know your rights. you don't know what you're going to do you got no money. it must be a frightening less frightening experience lee to be that lost at seven fifteen it's time to wake up. and face another day of trying to stay and survive in the united kingdom i never expected.

they treat me like that i want to have a better life and i want to have a job so i want to leave i mean like that as a human being so at the moment i feel i am an invisible person in this country. r.t. . and coming up this hour here in our team sky high and this shows after years of the patents all the saudi to. russia is building a new spaceport on own soil to test a new generation of rockets and launch lunar expeditions the full story is just ahead.

the to cut. cut. through. welcome back to washington to live from moscow now some u.s. officials are calling it tough for national security measures in the wake of the

deadly bombings more than a decade of multi-billion dollar surveillance at the expense of civil liberties has failed to prevent terror at home as artie's more important reports experts say washington security strategy has already cost far more than its worth. september eleventh two thousand and one terrorism claims the lives of nearly three thousand americans and the construction of a super sized us security paradigm begins. surveillance technology has become the driving force behind washington's counterterrorism strategy bodies scanned at airports faces filmed on the streets and social media closely monitored in cyberspace there has been a severe denigration of civil rights and civil liberties and the egg ational powered by federal government authorities and by law enforcement against individual since two thousand and one around seven hundred and ninety billion dollars has

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 from building manuals that could be found on the internet you just can't prevent terrorism in the current model with these surveillance technologies i can go into a right and walk with the makings of a bomb i can 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 twin bombs 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 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 and 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 additional 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 it's to expand its counterterrorism capabilities and intelligence gathering and activities meanwhile the u.s. president is questioning whether his administration needs to apply new strategies to tackle domestic terrorism or. more things that we can do whether it's. gauging in 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. r.t. new york. will stay up to date on world events twenty four seven by along on to our

sentenced to fifteen years of hard labor in north korea gang accuses kenneth bay all of attempting to overthrow the regime the forty four year old was arrested last november after answering north korea as a tourist and this comes at a time of dance relations between pyongyang and western powers which escalated after north korea's there are nuclear bomb tests in february. forty's in chad say there for oil the plot to. overthrow the government several people including an opposition lawmaker have been arrested a government statement said security forces have been tracking the conspirators for the past four months the central african nation has a long history of uprisings the contras and him selfe came to power after a coup in one thousand nine hundred. twenty two people were killed in iraq on wednesday in a series of gun and bomb attacks across the country and that was after last week's

bloody clashes which claimed over two hundred thirty lives and fueled fears that the nation could slip further into sectarian dance the latest on the rest comes a decade after washington's proud claim a victory and its operation iraqi freedom norman solomon director of the institute for public accuracy thinks instability in iraq it's only likely to. 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 by most measures the magnitude has been the u.s. in a worse in the last ten years and 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 is something glorious a lot of the problem that we have is the. reality of the war is that by president bush and then president obama to the extent that there's an honesty about the whys that were the basis of the war and the suffering that is the result of the war. the construction is in full swing and russian far east to finish the country's new spaceport the first a man launch from the new facility is expected in two thousand and fifteen with manny more flights to follow are his next here cesky reports. this site is now being described as the main construction side of russia's far east in just two years time this will become the to priority facility in russia the brand new

cosmodrome. this will make russia independent mostly independent from the baikonur cosmodrome which is now using and paying an annual rent of six hundred million us dollars of this will also make life easy in terms of political decisions on several occasions blocked the launch of russia's satellites and manned space ships of course when russia will have its own space port here in the far east this problem will no longer exist there will of course be some disadvantages for instance the transportation of the russian carriers to the cosmodrome here in the far east would now take several days to deliver them to the baikonur cosmodrome which is two thousand five hundred kilometers away from moscow this side here is five thousand five hundred kilometers from moscow so it will take longer and a little more closely but the advantages which exist in this project of having its russia having its own cosmodrome are much much more significant in the first place

the parts of the carriers the parts of rockets which are falling off from the rocket when it enters the atmosphere will no longer full on to the land and of course will no longer create risk of these parts holding on to populated areas in the case of the drum these parts will fall into the ocean but the biggest and the most significant benefit which russia will have from having its own cosmodrome is its lunar program more than half a century since soviet union lost the space race to the united states russia will be relaunching its lunar exploration program by the year twenty thirty as its expected space ship a manned space ship will take off from here to the moon which will then circle the earth satellites orbit. just the beginning that's why it will play way to a whole new moon exploration program with plans to build a sort of a tory and the research lab on the lunar surface already voiced by russian

scientists should that be successful a whole string of facilities including helium mine 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. now the cash for investing in gold is stronger than ever this find the recent priceline according to our financial guru max kaiser he explains why in his later show that's coming your way in just over an hour 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 believe donkey now people know that obama bernanke in ways of the all they want america is full of books who they don't believe them anymore so when the price goes down the demand surges demand surges on price breaks that's something new in the

past fifty years we have not seen this in fifty years when the price goes down demand increases because of the watchers of this show around the world in hotel rooms in airports and homes throughout the entire globe and they're in the hallway they're saying because you're going to buy gold and the demand was stampeding for the gold they love it they know the dollar was done. and coming right up a look at the history behind labor day breaking the set that's after the break. a famous american political figure ron paul has decided to create his own liberty oriented home schooling curriculum at ron paul curriculum back to give parents not

turn of the standard public education you know when i was a kid homeschooling was only for like the kids of wacko's and cultists if you met someone who was homeschooled you always look at them with some sort of suspicion like what's with that kid with what's with his parents i mean who would home school their kids well let's look at it this way who would grow their own food when american supermarkets are stocked with pure healthy and natural food the problem is that food in stores is now loaded. with all sorts of mystery chemicals and g m o's and it makes perfect sense that nowadays people are in droves starting to grow their own food and this logic applies to education too when public education becomes so dismal it is perfectly logical and reasonable to try to educate your kids yourself the no child left behind program did a fine job of making the american education system lower the bar down to the very basement of the lowest common denominator i mean if you think there should be more in a high school graduates had besides reading writing and arithmetic that homeschooling might be for you as art sports and music and science programs all across the nation bad due to lack of funding is wrong post libertarian curriculum what's best for

your kids i can't say but it's definitely worth taking a look at other alternatives given the d. minus quality of public education holidays but that's just my opinion. to live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how savvy less and less. i mean. i know that i'm. really messed up. in your career so closely the. worst cheaper to live. by the house of a. radio guy. what you are about to give yourself a seen anything like this until. you

get. what's going on i have a mind and this is breaking the sat so you get no hunger strike going on where over one hundred prisoners are starving themselves to death senate message to the world well obama's been gravely silent about this new development up until now yesterday during a press conference one. porter pushed the present on the issue you know loves to avoid the most. probably where they are growing. right. there. is any surprise really for this writer. inside their confines i've asked my team to review everything that's currently being done in guantanamo everything that we can do administratively and i'm going to reengage with congress to try to make the case that this is not something that's in the best interest of the american people let me just reiterate that question

a reporter says is any surprise really that the prisoners would prefer death rather than to have no end in sight to their confinement and is it now before i continue let me just say kudos to c.b.s. as built went to was actually bold enough to do his job and asked the president the right question but to president obama who actually had the nerve to answer by projecting the blame on congress alone shame shame on you because we all know it's your fault before anyone else is and you know i think colonel morris.
