the un condemns the force feeding of guantanamo inmates is torture as the hunger strike struggle sees twenty three prisoners being fed against their will. ten years of two centuries of talents one of the world's most ambitious new theaters opens in a couple times. and constant but can't go tens of thousands of refugees in the u.k. are being refused to sign the officials insisting they have to go back to the troubled home that it's.

news and much more twenty four hours a day this is. force feeding inmates are they going to one of the bay prisoners torture breaks international law that's how the united nations label the treatment of detainees at the facility as many as twenty three prisoners are being forced to eat through nasal cheaps as a mass hunger strike and there's a three month mark the lawyers for the inmates say that as many as one hundred thirty of the one hundred sixty six detainees are taking part but the u.s. military insists it's only one hundred prisoners describe the force feeding procedure is one of the most painful things he's ever experienced their protest is over the indefinite detention and invasive searches five of them now need to supervise medical care for prisoner lawyers cindy told my colleague kevin irwin if your thirty's are failing to take simple steps to resolve the crisis. the prisoners are. in on strike february second he's chosen not to eat any

of the cards in protest against ransom forcing someone to do what they don't want to do or and now strapping them to a scare and sticking to their no is. no liberty you have it walk with. you but you don't love to do that anywhere and most places in the world to kill yourself is not legal. sure they're going to juice the prison doubly that has to come into it somewhere. yes but the problem here is that this. problem could be resolved with something as simple as. meeting with them talking to them. discussing with them what it is. and the hunger strike at the symbol as they return or. not have their qur'an searched and they haven't seen very many years but we finally heard from president obama yes you have been silent for many

many years how. since he committed to close the refinery. and your condemnation of the president. and your client show you've been speaking to me has been telling you about the state of the same resolve went into this. as the resolve is still there we just had our co-counsel yesterday we had my co-counsel ann richards and we were next week and he remains committed to you continuing to protest not just. at the base but now also even of the prisoners and his indefinite detention without any sort of records or present obama meanwhile says he'll work with congress to convince them that keeping the prison open isn't in the interest of the american people because of the motor in the phone down and out he's breaking the sense the president's already missed the chance to close the capital much on

a date. colonel morris davis who was the chief prosecutor guantanamo bay said it best right here in breaking the set. he made in two thousand and eight and the first thing he did after the lilly ledbetter act in two thousand and nine when he took office was sign the order to close guantanamo but at the time the democrats controlled the house and the senate now certainly the right wingers the wing nuts have made it hard for him to close guantanamo now but he had kind of that sweet heart period where he really been committed he could have done it he let the opportunity yet obama talk is cheap you had a chance and you blew it because you chose to cater to the most extreme members of the g.o.p. instead of keeping the promise that you campaigned on one that valued human rights and justice and the rule of law so just remember if these prisoners die blood is on your hands.

you can get the full story and much more on breaking the set on r.t. in just under an hour and a half or you can watch the latest edition on line any time you like and r.t. dot com. now in a few hours' time a sun petersburg's world renowned ballet and or prevent you will get a modern high tech twin well here's a quick peek at what will be the first star studded performance risky to theatre. well the head of the venue and their. conduct the god of what is also his sixtieth birthday prima ballerina. and spanish tenor siegel domingo will be among those starring at the premiere it's about to show you right now but let's go live to say who's got a lot more to tell us over to you what's it been like so far. well

carrie good evening to you and two of you definitely we've all been waiting for an anticipated plaza talia's as a basing and a little bit less grand as expected but the few twists that will surprise a few people let me tell you a little bit about where i am today at the marines. opening day and of course i'm standing right here at the college just hours before some of the of the arts and culture here in st petersburg and around the world joining us to celebrate this new space now let me tell you and our viewers a little bit about what makes this a building so special now not only because it's in one of russia's cultural centers the st petersburg but it's also because it's managed to blend itself in the neal classical architecture of a st petersburg outside of the building is the latest with leinster and law it's

just next door to its mother sister. now also inside it's much more impressive this building is seven thousand meters just about seven thousand which is where it is about two thousand people and it's seven stories high as well as a three ball floors the below it meaning that we can see as big as we want to productions one of the other impressive things about the c o two is the actual wall as you can see right now it's actually blending in with my dress. on the wall which actually lights up when today's instant peter's square when it's just dark and you need a little bit of light that actually acts as that now rounds of the corridors and the lobby of the space is crystal's and just it's very contemporary but it feels that anyone who wants really to be part of the theater can come in here and enjoy it and not be intimidated by that but of course i'm not don't take my

word for it because others have been you. today just to take a sneak peek at what we have here and we have of course one of the russians a renowned ballerinas who spoke a little bit about what she thought about the theater. that i can't speak about all theaters in the world i haven't been in them all but when i compare this theater to everywhere i've been i think it is the best in the world not just because of its huge scale it is also very convenient all stages have their flaws they can be uncomfortable and my credulity this stage is perfect and there's a good view from every seat and what acoustics it's because of the mood i'm sure it will be as great as the old marine ski theatre in a couple of centuries the new era and the new fame of the marines with. that was a meyer protest to russia's renowned ballerina they're talking about how huge the

actual auditorium as well as the production space is now let me give you some stats here that's just shows you how impressive the space is the scale of the theater is just over a thousand are we talking about a thousand theater people from the dress designers to the people who work behind stage to accommodate over two hundred dancers over and over one hundred and twenty it's a huge the stage is so impressive and has been done exactly for those reasons so that those productions that are big and impressive can be staged i'm not alone today i with a very modern add here with me about it and use that we have been here we've seen this you've been around the world you're an actor yourself how impressive is the space for you what i think that today the opening of the world speech it really is heralded a new era in the this is history of the whole complex and indeed many people are comparing this to the to the lincoln center in new york the fact that you have the concert hall that opened in two thousand and six you had the grand theater regional

theater which is still next in going strong which opened. but i think the main thing is is that it's going back to the grand days of russia it's going back to the pre revolutionary world with the. first thing i know you look fantastic yourself with your. it's also very important to note the technology and that's what's making a difference with this. and indeed you can compare. it to. but in many ways this is bigger and better than ever before and you know the whole technology aspect of it is what makes it as unique as that's what most people are very impressed with the scale of the technology the sound that comes out of the auditorium and so forth of course but i think some people have been a little perturbed over the aesthetic look of the building has been quite controversial it has it's speaking about that i mean the sydney opera house had that. example let's talk about all those control of the sydney opera house it was

over budget i mean this ground building twenty one billion rubles which i believe is around seven hundred million and it's been compared to the city opera house because basically they say it was over budget it was it was full of stress and controversy regarding it opened and it was seen by the australian people is this monstrosity this ugly building at the end of the piece and what have they done to create such a cultural catastrophe but of course through through the years and through the decades as they. the love of the city opera house by this random scandinavian architect was growing to be loved and adored by the people and not as a sense of culture but also as an emblem and indeed an icon for for the city and the country and we hoping that the new marines will do exactly that and much more time for those who love the arts and culture closer margin and this is going to stay with us throughout our coverage. and state changes so that will have one.

coming up where you will be talking to some of the most influential people in the arts and culture world here in some people and later on president vladimir putin will be making an appearance here to actually open up and give his blessings to the new theatre of also mentioned earlier on. valerie getting sixtieth birthday but it's also his twenty years as are the artistic director and maestro of that this wonderful of all have more for years going to be a packed a couple of hours this day chita right here on our. boat looking very smart and i must say before to sing a bit more of this later let's actually thank you both for now at the marine speak . now moving on to some other news those fleeing their countries to seek a safer life in the u.k. can often end up with neither a job nor a place to live tens of thousands of rejected the saddam seekers are struggling to

make ends meet while being on the go back home is probably going to go has the story of one such man in glasgow are as floodwater 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 i just been this shit for three years i can't go back to iraq 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 him the abject poverty he subjected to is still better than going home and the home office. is. where they are not right they lying to us. how is iraq safe the. last time i heard it when last we got a lot of people being kidnapped by the to do it is in you know in the especially in

my city. well 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 rid of you we asked the u.k. home office about their policy towards destitute has 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 arrests. the u.k. government will say people don't need me in this situation but i think that callously masks the reality they are in limbo many for years i have to tell you who are living with nothing absolutely nothing not even. the u.n. millennium goal over and five dollars pity this is absolutely nothing glasgow city authorities say they want to help people like iran's 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. to openly condemn the government's treatment of failed asylum seekers we want to treat people with compassion in school and they get in government won't let us do that in the standing in our world it's not known exactly how many destitution asylum seekers there are drifting about 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 behind the most violent in the u.k. the shelter volunteers provide a hot meal for a few hours at least men and women can experience

a safe environment i think must be really difficult being that. 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 weigh what you're going to do you got no money must be a horrific frightening less frightening experience 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 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. now when the street cameras don't

capture criminals in time just add some or all of the other states following the boston bombings from big brother has been expanding for over a decade with limited success. digging deeper tomorrow space adventures this huge hole in the ground in russia far east and in the next chapter in close make explorations that's what the heck.

is he. welcome back u.s. lawmakers in surveillance advocates of calling for more nationwide cameras in the wake of the deadly boston bombings billions of dollars have already been spent over the past decade and there are more than fifteen million cameras nationwide another

prevent them i think tragedy has more on how the u.s. security strategy could have already cost more than its worth. seventh two thousand and one terrorism claims the lives of nearly three thousand americans and the construction of a supersized the u.s. 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 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 a free bomb building manual 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. billboard 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 seven were hospitalized last month after twin bombs exploded near the boston marathon finish line i 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 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 manhattan alone facial 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 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 the the more. things that we can do whether it's. in gauging in 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 marina port nine r.t. new york the workers celebration that is may day saw its fair share of anger in many parts of europe a squeeze wages fewer jobs and tougher conditions so much as we want and spray tear

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 asked on are 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 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 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 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

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 up with all sorts of mystery chemicals and g m o's and makes perfect sense that 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 to find 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 to the lack of funding is wrong post libertarian curriculum what's best for your kids hey 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. yeah welcome to. the air you can feel it.
