live from our studios here in moscow this is r.t. on carriage. united nations has branded the treatment of detainees at guantanamo bay torture the un human rights office says indefinite detention and force feeding constitutes inhumane treatment contravenes international law when it comes as more prisoners join the grueling three months in a strike at the u.s. facility in cuba american military admits that the total number of protesters is now over one hundred but lawyers for the captives have always maintained this twenty three detainees are now being force fed procedure that said to be extremely painful my colleague kevin owen spoke to cindy represents one of the inmates she says washington is failing to take the steps needed to defuse the crisis. the prisoners are quiet ohio has been on strike since february sixth he has chosen not to eat not to speak any of the cards in protest of this attention forcing someone

to do what they don't want to do it and tying them down strapping them for a 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 doubly that has to come into it somewhere. yes but the problem here is that this really wouldn't help the worst this problem could be resolved with 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 the qur'an or to not have their qur'an searched as they haven't been to see very many years do you think the condemnation from the u.n. now that we're hearing will settle influence the situation at the prison that we've been covering this story at length as you know the doesn't seem to be much give

over the last couple of months. while 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 condemnation of the president destroyed his new club show you've been speaking to me telling you about the state of the same resolvers what really went into this. the resolve is still there we just had our co-counsel yesterday we have my co-counsel and richard said will be with me next week and he remains committed so you continue to protest not just. at the base but now also for speeding up the prisoners and his indefinite detention without any sort of records. coming up in the program big brother blind america's security system looks for a major overhaul after it failed to prevent the boston terrorist attack despite it

he sleeps on the floor of this gym in a shelter inside the local community center but for iran as and others just like him the abject poverty he subjected to is still better than going home and the home office did it in as like this is. the home of his where they are now the right they lying to us. how is iraq safe. the. last time i heard it were last week a lot of people being kidnapped by the authorities 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 they lying to you they one thing you go back i mean. they want to get rid 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 maybe 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 this is absolutely nothing glasgow city authorities say they want to help people like arise 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 destitute people have started to rise over the years it's a terrible situation it's a humanitarian crisis or school scotland's biggest city is the first in the u.k.

many u.s. government officials are calling for tougher national security measures in the wake of the deadly boston bombings and more than a decade of multi-billion dollar surveillance at the expense of civil liberties and failed to prevent terror there's not even a point now 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 to u.s. 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 ration of power 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 pressures ball bearings nails and a free bomb building manual that could be found on the internet you just can't prevent terrorism in the current model 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 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 cameras 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

measures the magnitude has been that even 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 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 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 honesty about the lies that were the basis of the war and the suffering that is the result of the war. now construction is in full swing in russia's far east to finish the

country's new spaceport. with a. new facility is expected in twenty fifteen with many more flights to fly to. before. 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 looked 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 demand to just 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 more 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 west coast because withdrawn 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 year twenty thirty as it's expected

a 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 our whole human 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 the whole string of facilities including helium mining shafts might 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. there now the appeal of the gold investments is stronger than ever despite a recent price slide that's according to our financial guru max kaiser is the latest show are coming up twelve thirty g.m.t. explains why. that's a new phenomenon usually when the price of gold goes down people have been sellers

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 it into 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 that all of these people are in droves starting to grow their own food and this logic applies to education too when public. education becomes so dismal and it's 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 the 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 that total 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 holidays but that's just my opinion.
