1:08 pm
detention forcing someone to do what they don't want to do and tying them down strapping the interest chair and sticking to their no one is depriving them of their liberties and you have their own body we just had our council visit yesterday we have my co-counsel and richard said will be with you next week and he remains committed to continuing to protest not just. at the base but now also force feeding of the prisoners and his indefinite detention without any sort of requests this problem could be resolved something as simple as meeting with and talking to the prisoners at discussing with what it is that the contents 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 that they haven't been security for many years
1:09 pm
but we finally heard from president obama on the issue we have been silent for many months many years however since he committed to close the prison we find we. really need you'd prefer and your confirmation that the president. those fleeing the country to seek a safer life in the u.k. you can often end up with neither a job nor replace to live tens of thousands of asylum seekers are struggling to make ends meet while being unable to go back home either probably because the story of one such mom glow scope. 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 artists 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 as and others just like
1:10 pm
him the abject poverty he subjected to is still better than going home and the whole facility as like this is because he was iraqi pupil at the home of uganda save where they are not right they lying to us they how is the iraq safe the. last time i heard it will last we got a lot of people being kidnapped by that you know it is in iraq in the especially in my city where the home of his isn't always a safe i mean there is no tourism but they lying to you they want in you go back i mean. they want to get rid of you we asked the u.k. home office about their policy towards destitute 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
1:11 pm
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 meeting the u.n. millennium goal of around five dollars 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 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
1:12 pm
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 sees 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. the shelter volunteers provide a hot meal for a few hours at least men and women and 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 your rights. you don't know where you can get what you're going to do you got no money it must be horrific frightening less frightening experience leave that 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.

1:23 pm
