morning to you from moscow where it's not what just after. the worldwide news thank you for joining us today. it has been exactly one hundred days since detainees at guantanamo bay prison camp started their hunger strike. now the official number of inmates refusing food has been increasing on an almost daily basis and has reached at least one hundred around thirty hunger strikers are being subjected to force feeding a controversial tactic condemned by the un and the international medical community as in humane and all those numbers are only likely to grow because what started as

a strike against mistreatment has turned into a battle against indefinite detention and washington's broken promises to close the prison at the center of america's war on terror of the explanation now the latest on this to ati's guy in a chicken. after years of the national injustice and indifference and after more than three months of starvation one tunnel detainees have finally got the president's attention i'm going to go back after they've heard these words before as president i will close guantanamo reject the military commissions act and if you go to the geneva conventions and now we're dead it needs to be closed now congress and again as many times before the white house if it were sponsibility to congress there's much he can do administratively without congress without having a legislative act even under current restrictions the administration has the power to use national security waivers to release many of these men which it hasn't used

but it's the charge that well the fear that if you release some of these prisoners that have been accused of being terrorist in the past and and they do something else or you find them going into terrorist organizations you pay a heavy political price for that so many of these men have fallen victim not just to their wrongful capture but also to u.s. politicians assumptions of what they may or may not do in the future but you can or you can or will people want to maybe you know this is a we're not future police here so far the administration's only response to the crisis of one problem or has been to force feeding troops down detainees nostrils the fact of the matter is that when an individual makes a decision of sound mind makes the decision to refuse food as a political protest then as we said in a joint statement it is not open to the states in a second chance to force them to do each. and the force feeding here involves the

insertion of a tube of some significant on the diameter through the nasal passages and into the stomach in the most horrible of circumstances the un special rapporteur on human rights also told me that he was encouraged. to hear the president once again express commitment to close the prison president of the united states has said kuantan a moser problem and yet on the ground for some reason the camp administration continues to treat these men and humanely and did not deny them basic dignity for years the administration has been gauged in verbal and legal acrobatics to justify its inaction on guantanamo and still not clear how long before people there start dying but one thing is clear the elephant in the room just too big to ignore in washington i'm going to. well here it all to you we have spoken to. he was detained at guantanamo bay for four years he also went on hunger strikes during his

time he tossed the current protest could be the last for many who have lost hope of getting either a trial out of really. i stayed five years in a long all together and. they always force me to sign papers that i should agree that i'm a member if i tie them. every time when i refused to sign those kind of papers they tortured me in different kinds. of ways like waterboarding. electroshocks imo selfless couple times hunger strike in doing my time in rooms in office so i can understand those detainees over the. more than eleven years over there they still didn't have to try and if you are in the system it's very difficult to get even even if they go home and notice that you are innocent. ninety five percent of those prisoners already know what has to try and they still are not

getting a trial for the future that's mean they can stay all their life over there even if they are innocent i myself i think it's going to be the last time a strike for the most attorneys. i believe they will know will start again to eat. talk he's been following the hunger strike from the very beginning now well before us authours even admitted it was taking place we've been gathering comments from prison officials and detainees attorneys and activists give you a full account of the situation and all that plus the timeline on the protest all available for you on our web site www dot com now one of the many reasons and many calls for closing down guantanamo bay prison is simply because it is the most expensive prison on the planet to maintain and operate for example each of the one hundred sixty six inmates costs american taxpayers at least nine hundred thousand dollars a year much much higher than the cost of keeping best soil now some of the things

that pays for according to those held at guantanamo is a regime of force feeding deny. water isolation and low temperatures some detainees claim a simple telephone call to lawyers results in a degrading body search my colleague bill dollar talked to a spokesman from the u.s. military authority that oversees guantanamo he denies there is widespread abuse ongoing at the facility one hundred training leave the camp. what we call a full risk which is a pat down search not unlike you to experience going through airport security if you are selected for secondary screening in the united states it's quick it's not for putting on and it's not in there it's so. it's not the detainees job to tell the truth the lawyers just repeat look at this hearing and say that all of those allegations are false what about the end of the nations of the many years i just want to let me ask you about the allegations about the unsafe and inhumane full speeding those prisoners who are on hunger strike do you deny that what

their policy is being i'd say it's true their life their lawful needs we currently have one hundred hunger strikers today we have currently thirty who are. being unfairly said you know good nutrition supplement. most of them when they're ordered to do that great compliantly and take it a percentage about a third need to be taken to their their heating but it's not a procedure that done in hospitals and nursing homes every day. it's not done to harass them but it's cute it's getting life to sustain life while we've been hearing from the medical justice network who is saying that doctors are accused of looting in torture that the campaign that's been agreed on by the world medical association and the u.n. . yes and we disagree with them it's

a matter of national policy our courts have upheld that. sustaining life she lawful means lawful and. we will get a medical protocol where we evaluate the community based on their weight loss income or that would be. we we allow them to hunger strikes that if they get to about eighty five percent below below eighty five percent of body weight that some damage could be done you know we will do the involuntary feeding all of those allegations are false they're not they're not being subject to extreme temperatures are not being denied food and water conditions are good or vacant possible would be you know they had satellite television they had communal living you had all kinds of good things from your your producers you're welcome to come carol rosenberg of the miami herald who think you're more than sixty town and we're trying to kind of

facility you try and see for yourself. but the picture drawn by the guantanamo bay spokesman contradicts what detainees lawyers are saying federal public defender call us want to represents one of the hunger striking prisoners it's all my colleague that the situation is far more drastic than the authorities ever want made public arbitrary detention it goes against everything that every international law every human rights organization the u.n. says that's completely wrong force feeding goes against what what everybody says is correct it's defined by the those groups as torture so on this issue unfortunately the president is on the wrong side you've been there i was talking to the spokesman of the detention center a little earlier they are not saying he said the conditions were perfectly normal satellite t.v. communal areas is that true now. the military is all wrong and they're doing all the things to drive in the wrong direction remember this is the same military that

the night of strike was going on for a long time same military they said if you're force extracted from your cell a tube down your nose in your fed that that's not force feeding the president framed it this way we've got two bad choices either they die or if we force feed them well there's a third choice and the third choice is releasing the innocent men which he has the power to do that would end the strike the military has another choice too they could negotiate with the men and with people like myself they did that we could end the strike in a week and we could we could roll this backwards but instead of deescalating they ask a late over and over again it makes you wonder whether or not the military wants this to continue because they're certainly doing exactly the opposite of what they should be doing to end the strike. and force feeding is one of the issues most concerning detainees lawyers so we decided to explore why exactly this procedure is causing outrage among human rights organizations a clear and perhaps

a bit too clear of an explanation now swansea's alexia shifts. what i'm about to describe to you is not torture these are the details of force feeding by prison guards in guantanamo which were made public in the leaked report first of all the feeding process itself involves handcuffs and mask and belong to the inmates are cuffed to a chair then a guard covers their head with a mask officially to prevent speeding and biting and insert a tube into their nose prisoners have reported several cases when they nearly suffocated because the tube was pushed too deep into their nostril once this is over inmates are taken to their cell where they are forbidden from drinking water or vomiting the nutritional liquid there is even a special guard who oversees that the inmate keeps it all inside if they do for up they are punished by being placed in a restraint chair to break this hunger strike prison authorities have attempted to separate the protesting inmates over one hundred men have been thrown into solitary cells to as it was put by prison officials prevent them from achieving solidarity

it seems this move did not bear fruit despite the core of the protesters being isolated from other prisoners the number of hunger strikers has only increased the medical condition of some of them has seriously deteriorated but they complain that they are not receiving proper medical assistance reports from within the walls of guantanamo suggest that prison doctors blindly follow the orders of the military rather than acting according to their medical oath something that violates international acknowledged rights of a prisoner but those fortunate enough to have had the doctor's attention hardly feel in safe hands according to the experts the choice of medication is somewhat bewildering as the queue of the various health conditions caused by a lengthy hunger strike but rather to facilitate force feeding one of the drugs used is fairly grand which deals with north korea vomiting and it can also act as a sleep aid another one is reglan which treats heartburn and known for neurological side effects so long term use and all of that is added to the prison guards acting

without the consent of inmates who legally have the right to refuse medical treatment but in the case of guantanamo there is a special rule which puts force feeding on the same level as forced medical aid. and here in r.t. we will continue our coverage of this milestone one hundred days of the hunger strike more expert analysis and opinion coming up on our see throughout the day. hunger strike despair pushed to the limit. nearly one hundred guantanamo detainees are screaming for justice. where is the evidence for. thanks for joining us here on our show in the russian capital the alleged cia agent caught right here in moscow was offering one million dollars a year for passing on classified information and that evidence comes from wiretapped phone conversations between him and the security officer he was trying

to recruit and the recordings made public by russia's federal security service. restored some. more. talk of the warden you want to store attack us because of more just at the bottom of a million dollars of course you want to focus on some. ideas that. now the alleged regime has been handed over to american authorities and is now waiting to go to the u.s. and washington has issued no official reply so far the u.s. media is reaction to the new spy scandal well basically a mixture of laughter and disbelief at the alleged agent's clumsy recruiting techniques i ridicule is a fairly common reaction to stories like this but previous cases show it doesn't make them less true british intelligence analyst glenmore trinny a harvey he says is just another point scored in the everlasting russian american spy game. it is a great success for the f.s.b.

the russian domestic security service what finally fail to do is follow a set of rules which the cia have always had it's called the moscow rules it requires that you vary the pattern of your behavior your constantly told what is happening as a great game well in this particular instance russia has called america has lost but make no bones about it there will be a few ripples at the moment and before we know relations are you better normal and as i say. the cia will replace with another intelligence officer and the game will continue i really fascinating interview there you can watch it in full with. the british intelligence analyst available for you right now on our web site out to you dot com and also online we've collected a selection of the top spy scandals of the twenty first century involving the u.s.

markets why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger or a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report. live from moscow this is our team with me rule research ten minutes on the kaiser report for now though france says recession for the second time in five years and

the numbers come as president francois hollande marks one year in office which some of labeled as a total disaster as aussies test there are reports there are doubts over the whole euro zone's ability to manage its crisis economy. now we're looking at a cafe culture here in paris still continuing looking calmer wherever this is a far cry a contrast to the other images that we've seen across the country such as protests against president francois launce the first anniversary as president has there seeing him as not having done enough for the economy or those administering a sturdy protest now the a french finance minister had come out saying that this contraction that we're seeing now is a result of the overall depressed environment that france finds itself at its neighbors in the euro zone area however it is still a blow to were found swollen to what dan has been seeing a lot of criticism for the policies that are in place and also there have been a lot of economists who have been calling france for some time now as

a ticking time bomb in europe it's one of the core countries now that we're seeing in recession no longer the so-called periphery of the euro zone such as countries like greece or portugal but a core euro zone nation so what do these numbers really mean for france being in a recession it would be extremely difficult to get out of the speciation. steamy bag the policy we try to use now going experience he's cutting labor cost cutting the politician a worker of course we'll have a show shown in part and you're not going to spend your afternoon in nice coffee like this one because you know it becoming too expensive for you well as these the small numbers hit europe and france finds itself officially in a recession the question really there is how long is it going to take before economy starts growing and growing again and stop being in the red and also the concern is the longer it is the we see the sustained the lackluster numbers the harder it will be for a recovery to take place reporting from paris i'm tests are still yeah. and in just

three minutes here on r t it's going to be max keiser and stacy. delving into the global financial headlines will be coming up with a rather surprising theory on how the markets truly are right. scientists used to believe that the earth was the center of the universe today economists who call themselves scientists claim that the economy revolves around these central banks and this is the fractal reserve system behold the sacred dow as you know of course we have this secret dow if the dow jones or the nikkei or the footsie if they rise if they continue to rise then all will be ok in the economy so we sacrifice our wealth our economy jobs everything to rising a rising dow well it's not what we have not predicted in other words we said that after the two thousand a crisis that there would be massive money printing and one of the likely outcomes

would be hyperinflation in the stock indexes. downloading free music in the united kingdom may soon be a thing of the past british record labels have come up with a list of twenty five services they're willing to take to court to stop online bootlegging and save the shrinking profits. from story. well record labels could be about to launch the biggest battle yet against pirate sites and what's alleged will be the main blocking blitz in the ongoing fight against websites the file sharing and infringe on music copyrights the question to the service providers so i ask. in the recent past being asked to block websites certain websites that are illegally file sharing music now it's thought that the british industry trade body fifi i launched the previous successful legal action is set to take a third wave of action now p.d.

i haven't yet responded to this latest information but it's good that would be targeting sites such as the us based file sharing sites. and what would that mean well for bush. easy kinda street they wave be able to access these sites any more this action is aimed at targeting the casual illegal dilator of kools for the hardcore pirates they'll simply move on it's thought of the vast array of websites that you have out there at the moment so already questions being raised as to just how effective any legal action would be. seeing these five sharing sites as a preview ever more popular next told the chopping board if this music industry attempts to continue this crackdown on other legal file sharing. this is on t.v. and online for you right now human rights watch demands an investigation into claims of torture during a friend's formula one grand prix in bahrain but as the crackdown on the protest

movement continues unabated you have to want to talk you can learn more on how bahrain's officials are keeping a grip on the opposition. while they can also learn about a more atomic trouble in japan a nuclear reactor is in danger of being permanently shut down because it's located over an active seismic will find out whether time's running out for the officials to close down the story. before we get to the world update for now though the u.s. justice department has defended its surveillance operation on the associated press news agency attorney general eric holder says wiretapping the phones of one hundred journalists was necessary to protect americans from the leaks that could endanger the safety but norman solomon from the famed media watch group he thinks it's more aimed at making an example of a.p. in order to scare off any would be whistleblowers. that is really one of the last refuge of scoundrels when it comes to top leaders who want to turn off the tap of

information reaching their own public that those leaders would rather the public be kept in the dark about and i think what we've seen with these revelations about the phone records of a.p. reporters is that this is a ministration which has already waged a larger war against more whistleblowers than any other in u.s. history has continued to push the up and tried to have a chilling effect on not only journalists but the sources within the administration . ok before we get to the cause report let's jump into the world update now starting with texas where several tornadoes have ripped through it in one area one area that was seventy five homes destroyed and six people killed though the number is probably going to rise a many others have been injured and rescue teams are continuing the search for survivors on the rubble next stop along the southern tornado alley is oklahoma.

in spain hundreds of blocks clashed with over three hundred policemen in the city of on that i was thirteen officers were injured two people arrested on charges of assault and the crowd was trying to prevent security forces from arresting an alleged member of the radical proboscis independence group that she's linked to a two thousand and eight attack on a police station in faces five years in prison. to syria where pro assad refuge losing coding women and children came under fire from rebels and they returned home in the southeast town of yarmouk government soldiers are comforting the refugees for tun fire and claim to have killed ten rebels at the incident happened just hours off the un general assembly decided to back the opposition in a new resolution. just. like i said the kaiser report in just a moment.

a fairly dickinson university study has revealed the twenty nine percent of americans think that a revolution will just happen in america but needs to be done in order to protect individual liberty if respondents consider themselves conservative and that number is bumped up to forty four percent that's nearly half also fox news found out that since nine eleven the percent of americans willing to sacrifice their personal freedom to reduce the threat of terrorism is at an all time low this number might sound trivial but it only takes a tiny percent of the population actually start a revolution i mean how many communists were in russia at the start of nine hundred seventeen and how many were there at the end revolution may sound like a nice thing to a growing number of people but the media wrongly portrays revolution as some fun video game battle where freedom fighters toppled

a statue of the dictator and then democracy just instantly comes about and life is good and happy i'd ask you to ignore movies like v. for vendetta and look at history revolutions cause horrible destruction that could take decades to repair i guess what when your economy collapses because a revolt infrastructure breaks down and the shelves go bare also professional revolutionaries get their supplies from somebody and a foreign powers would have say funded barrack and revolutionaries they would want . something in return aloha and goodbye alaska if you look at history then you'll see that revolution is brutal and ugly and it's truly the last resort but still is a resort but that's just my opinion. critique free storage free. range month three. three. two two three. zero three
