the force feeding of. hunger strikes. ten years of work. talent one of the world's most. tens of thousands of refugees in the u.k. being refused asylum. to.

international news and comment twenty four hours a day this is. our top story now force feeding inmates at the guantanamo bay prison this torture and 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 tubes as unless hunger strike then there's the three month mark where lawyers for the detainees say that as many as one hundred thirty of the one hundred sixty six inmates are taking part in this military insists it's only one hundred a prisoner described the force feeding procedure is one of the most painful things he's ever experienced when the protest is over there indefinite detention and invasive searches five of them i don't need supervised medical care of prisoner oh yes independent told my colleague kevin irwin if your thirty's are failing to take simple steps to resolve the crisis. the prisoners our client has been on strike for february sixth he has chosen not to eat any of the cards in protest and now it's

time to forcing someone to do what they don't want to do or and now strapping them to scare and sticking to their nose 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 judy of care the prison doubly that has to come into it somewhere. yes but the problem here is that this wouldn't happen this problem could be resolved with something as simple as. meeting with and talking to the prisoner and discussing with them what it is. and the hunger strike at the symbol as allowing them to return or to not have their crown searched and they haven't seen very many years but we finally heard from president

obama he had been silent for many many years how since he. i mean it's a close we find we are really need you and your confirmation that the president. has new york law and i'm sure you've been speaking to me telling you about the state of the same resolvers what went into this. is the resolve is still there we just had our co-counsel yesterday we spoke also and richard said. next week and he remains committed so you continue to protest not just harshly. but now also even other prisoners and his indefinite detention without any sort of records or president 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 but as the mountain found out on auntie's breaking the set the president already missed the chance to close the camp at

a much earlier date. colonel morris davis who was the chief prosecutor guantanamo bay said it best right here on break in 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 control 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 the sweet heart period where he really been committed he could have done it and 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.

get the full story and much more on the breaking the sex it's here on r.t. in less than thirty minutes time or you can watch the latest edition on line any time you like and r.t. dot com. now in a few hours time petersburg's world renowned body and oprah venue will get a modern hit it's when it's a quick peek at what's called the first star studded performance theater. while the head of the venue larry. we got what is also his sixtieth birthday. and spanish tenor suited to me be among those starring the premiere that's about all we're allowed to show you right now let's go live to say who's got more to tell us all about it when you were there at the approve you know how was it.

absolutely carrie we were at the preview of the gallery opening but today is actually the day we want to talk about it it's the actual opening day now of course we're expecting the news we've all seen petersburg russia and of the all of them cultural the world the world really but let me tell you why we're here we're talking about a receipt here to the grand opening and the building itself now i want to tell the specifics your building is over seven thousand just square meters is that has the capacity to actually have two thousand or did says which will be above the seven levels of the building really underneath as well that this shows on the scale of the home big the productions that actually go on that the stage is now inside we talk about the onyx wall which is going to be an amazing feature wall of you have all those dark nights but before i get into that i want to say actually just get a reaction from one of russia's and premier ballerina. this this guy yeah we had

this to say. that i can't speak about all see it as 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 crew did it to this stage is perfect and there's a good view from every seat and what sticks is because of the mood i'm sure it will be as great as the old marine skis he attained a couple of centuries the new era and the new fame of the marine ski with great. pride join with me and now after the rescue yes it itself it is a the odd thing tag to all of this big nipples who built it with me as a method to judge diamond tooth we're so impressed with what you've done but i want to talk to you a little bit about the controversy of the building because not everyone in st

petersburg was actually looking forward to. the completion of this building what's your reaction now that it's done and dusted well again if you know it's when some isaac's two feet or so people thought it was terrible into school when choco ski performed his throws on a concerto it was trash song and good company let me tell you about the criticism that started before the building was finished when the hoarding was still up the lights were not the only reason we're talking about it is these things sometimes have a longer we're going to play or do they seem to be greedy or motor control but you can soon tell from the regions now that's old news and we shouldn't talk about it anymore ok then let's talk about the importance of the building and times of culture and odds and of course blending itself within the st petersburg society that's exactly what we have the point about simply to spur one of the most beautiful cities in the world it was amazing continued in the streets. lovely scale

very simple and straightforward neo classical architecture we did not want to fracture like many modern cities are made up of every different kind of building in the result we struggle so this building is a contributor to that but it's also not for us so in order to make it more equal than it's equal we have back to the ways in the internet and analogous for the comparable would just as the people stand in trust to the streets so order to moria stands and controls to its enclosure it stands through like a church on the feet and it's good to get the importance of the on it because it's really the holy of holies it. just is the churches of the holy of holies of the faith. i feel like i'm not so sure right even this is actually if we had to and it's a grand opening and your passion is resonating here because i think everybody feels how wonderful and the pulsating through them all but visibility i'll have more for

you in the next i'll pull the stay here with us tonight on live from arias. get it to you here in st petersburg. or k.-et about anything elegant as always thanks very much i would join you with much more they throw. only thing on to some other news now those fleeing their countries to seek a safer life in the u.k. and often end up with neither a job nor a place to live tens of thousands of rejected asylum seekers are struggling to make ends meet while being unable to go back home aunties point boyd who 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 treated as like this especially was iraqi people the home of his that you don't see where they're not right they lying to us they 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 iraq in the especially in my city where the home of his isn't always a safe i mean there are no it here is 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 silence seekers 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 it 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 but to you 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 on the streets of all 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 destitute 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 all thirty's 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 be called speak the language. you don't know what the lore is you don't know what rights. you don't know where you can get what you're going to do you got no money must be horrific frightening less frightening experience leave that to be that lost at seven fifty it's time to wake up. and face another day of

trying to stay and survive in the united kingdom and for expecting 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 am underneath them in pairs and in this hunting party boy. when the street cameras don't capture criminals in time just add some more coal in the united states following the boston bombings you know big brother has been expanding for over a decade with limited success. funds digging deep for tomorrow's space adventures on this huge hole in the ground in russia's far east in the next chapter in my kinds of cosmic explorations that's all that.

seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are ruled the day. usno makers and surveillance advocates are calling for more nationwide cameras in the wake of the deadly boston bombings the billions of dollars have already been spent over the past decade and there are more than fifty million cameras nationwide but none could prevent the marathon tragedy report now has more on how the u.s. security strategy could have already cost more than it's worth 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 scan the

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 power by federal government authorities and by law enforcement against individual since two thousand and one hour 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 malice and of 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 or 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 avoid forced an 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 or kelly puts out or or some security agency puts out there's

anywhere from thirty to fifty hardly 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 is wondering how do you think a 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 x. 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 answered. are there more things that we can do whether it's. engaging in engaging with this where there's

a potential for self radicalization of this. is there work that can be done in terms of detection detecting terror in the homeland eleven and a half years after our war on terror began. are to. many parts of europe a squeezed wages fewer jobs and tough mission. website for more pictures and videos. so. all. of this. is he.

is actually. 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 a 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 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 risk of these parts holding on to populated areas in the case of the west coast because we're 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 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 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 you guys coming up is breaking the set with abby martin stay with us.

famous american political figure ron paul has decided to create his own liberty oriented home schooling curriculum at ron paul curriculum 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'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 mr chemicals and g m o's and it 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 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 highest graduates had besides reading right now to richmond to 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 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. if you live on one hundred thirty three bucks a month for food i should try it because you know how fabulous i had luck i got so many i mean. i know that i'm still the same really messed up. in the old story so i personally apologize if the. worst cure for that was a little white house or the. radio guy for sale minutes from

a quick profit on what clothes were about fifty years you've never seen anything like this i'm told. what's going on i've got a martin and this is breaking the sat so you get a hunger strike going on where over one hundred prisoners are starving themselves to death sent a message world well obama's been gravely silent about this new development up until now yesterday during a press conference one reporter pushed the present on the issue you know loves to avoid the most. for the problem where there's a growing odor strike that's one potable salable that there is any surprise really that they would prefer death rather. when the inside of their confinement 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 that any surprise really that the prisoners would prefer death rather than to have no end in sight to their confinement and as it now before i continue let me just say kudos to c.b.s. is bill plante who 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's and you know i think colonel morris davis who was the chief prosecutor going to.
