is r.t. coming to you live from the russian capital on marina joshing welcome to the program of the united nations has brand of the treatment of detainees at guantanamo bay is torture the un human rights office says that indefinite detention and force feeding constitute inhumane treatment and violate international law this comes as more prisoners join the grueling three months hunger strike at the u.s. still and in true by the american military admits that the total number of protesters is now over one hundred lawyers for the crowd have said all along that an chill 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 irwin spoke with cindy who represents one of the inmates and she says washington is failing to take the steps needed to diffuse the crisis and guantanamo. the prisoners are crying over and over and on strike it's february sixth he has chosen

not to eat any of the cards and. as to its intention forcing someone to do what they don't want to do or tying them down or strapping them to chair and sticking to their nose is depriving them of their liberties and you have a walk with your own body but you don't love to do that anywhere and most places in the world to to to to kill yourself is not legal. surely to get a jew cheap care the prison w. that has to come into it somewhere. yes but the problem here is that this really wouldn't help to force this problem could be resolved something as simple as meeting with and 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 crown searched that they haven't been security for many years due

to the condemnation from the u.n. now that we hear it will settle 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 on the issue he had been silent for many many years how since he committed to close the prison we find we. really need you and your confirmation that the president destroyed his new york law and i'm sure you've been speaking to me telling your brother to still have the same resolve is what really went into this. is the resolve is still there we just had our counsel visit yesterday we have my co-counsel and richardson will be with you next week and he remains committed so you are continuing to protest not just. at the base but now also for speeding up of the prisoners and his indefinite detention without any sort of records. well coming up in the program big brother blind america's security system

your. world. one of the most important things start pushing for six years incredible now do we know that the performances do sound amazing and we know what to look out for on that the grand opening of money is to see what about the space itself where early on i caught up with some of subpoenas back to see to figure out what they thought about the space but this is a great meet so for more of them or our. future is in modern technologies that's why i. like this building is here to will attract more young people about the pre opening performances highlighted the capacity of the stage the supreme variety all the performances they can actually put up on the stage and of course how to merge very successfully classical as well as contemporary performances so join us on our

go back to you know because i am under the threat the assassin in 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 him the abject poverty he's subjected to is still better than going home and the home office to get in as like this is because he was you know like your pupil in the home of his so you know you can save for them the right they learn to us that how is iraq safe. the. last time i heard it were last week a lot of people being kidnapped by the teacher is in iraq in the especially in 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 redo of you we asked the u.k. home office about their policy towards destitute siloam see kez 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 but this is absolutely nothing glasgow city authorities say they want to help people like iran's but 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 destitute people have started to rise over the years it's a terrible situation it's a humanitarian crisis or. scotland's biggest city is the first in the u.k.

to openly condemn the government's treatment have failed asylum seekers we want to treat people with compassion in school and they get to government let us do that in the standard where well it's not known exactly how many destitution asylum seekers there are drifting out the city because after the home office rejects a case they slip through the net and disappear from the view of the earth or seize so they're left with no support and no way of working in a city that's just been ranked the most violent in the u.k. at the shelter 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 because speak the language. you don't know what the lore is you don't know your rights. you don't know where you can go what you're going to do you got no money must be a horrific frightening less frightening experience the to be that lost at seven

fifteen it's time make up. and face another day of trying to stay and survive in the united kingdom i never expecting they treat me laying 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 underneath them in pairs and in this hunting party boy artie. and coming up this hour here in our sky high and after years of the cannons on the saudi to. stand rush is building a space port on foreign soil has a new generation of rockets to launch a lunar expeditions the full story just ahead stay with us.

welcome back you're watching our teano some u.s. officials are calling for tougher 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 as failed to prevent terror at home as artie's marine apartheid our report experts say washington security strategy has already cost far more than for us 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 films on the streets and social media closely monitored in cyberspace there has been a severe denigration of civil rights and civil liberties and the aggregate 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 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 of bomb building manuals that could be found on the internet you just can't prevent terrorism in the current model with these surveillance technologies are can go into a writer and walk out with the makings of a ball. and 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 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 in 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 next 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 its to expand its counterterrorism capabilities and intelligence gathering activities meanwhile the u.s. president is questioning whether his administration needs to apply new strategies to tackle domestic terrorism and so on. there are 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 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.

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 you didn't used to take place because of and in the aftermath of the invasion occupation under the bush cheney administration it was all effort to justify and pump up the war is something glorious a lot of the problem that we have is that the reality of the war is by president bush and then president obama to the extent that there's not an honesty about the whys the more 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 country's new spaceport starch me first on manned launch from the new facility is expected in two thousand and fifteen with manning more flights to follow our 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 top 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 u.s. dollars of this will also make life easy in terms of political decisions on several occasions asked unarmed blocked 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 right now it takes 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 risks of these parts holding on to populated areas in the case of the was drawn 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 by the twenty thirty as it's expected

a space ship and space ship will take off from here to the moon which will then circle the earth satellites orbit just the beginning that flight will pave the way to a whole new moon exploration program with plans to build an observatory and the research lab on the. 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 the appeal of gold investments is stronger than ever despite the recent price lie according to our financial guru max kaiser explains why his latest show take a look. that's and 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 dollars and one america is full of book 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 say because you're going to buy gold and the demand was still being for the gold they love it they know the dollar was done. well don't miss the show here in our t.v. and just a couple of minutes. 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 cultus 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 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 up with all sorts of mystery chemicals and g m o's and it makes perfect sense. nowadays people are intro 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 right now to richmond that homeschooling might be for you as art sports and music and science programs all across the nation to the lack of funding is ron paul's 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 nowadays but that's just my opinion. i am x. kaiser welcome to the kaiser reporting some people are directed to paper yes it's a thing. strange addictions like these usually start of childhood are often related to something missing in one's diet zinc iron gold but the thing about paper

addiction is that you need more and more paper to keep you hi stacey max so what we've seen over the past few years since the financial crisis began these groups of paper addicts have been telling us everything's going to be oh ok as long as we just add more paper inject more paper into the system so i want to look at some of the excuses that paper addicts who by the way they think they look hot they're making so much sense and they're rico suave a but in fact to the rest of us we see a pimply faced him a seated slurring his words no teeth addict lying in the gutter so why gold bulls shouldn't get excited by the massive purchases of physical gold an asia because while the gold sell off has prompted some buying from consumers it's resulted in panic selling among e.t.f. holders so of course the e.t.f. is g.l.d.

and this is the paper gold and he gives us chart from no mara and this shows you that e.t.f. have provided sixteen point six billion dollars worth of gold supply year to date and the red lines represent the investor in g.l.d. buying or selling its propaganda on joe we don't know and business aside or over there any blodget they put they put out as propaganda and they put out misinformation they lied to the public by riff indicating that jail days in some way related to physical gold it's just paper gold and it has a fractional italy in significant meaning when looking at the global physical gold demand that's overtaking the paper.
