it. was. gone tunnel day hunger strike enters its one hundredth day the number of inmates refusing food is increasing and the use of force feeding has been condemned altie has extensive coverage of this iteration of the detention center. from the dips into a second recession as it flounders and europe's financial slump and damaging present along is already tarnished reputation even further. intelligence experts say russia won this round of this ultimate spike game as mosco releases the pool of blood top recordings of the u.s. agent made minutes before his arrest. on the day the music died u.k. citizens could feel the full brunt of the british record industry as it moves to clamp down on file sharing websites.

and you saw in russia and around the world this is all see was me your national thanks for joining us today marks a dark milestone in the history of the world's most maligned prison one hundred days of a mass hunger strike had gone ton i'm ok. one hundred sixty six inmates one hundred thirty are on strike according to prisoners while the military only admits to one hundred at least a third of them are being force fed a procedure recognized by various medical organizations as painful enough to constitute torture and by all accounts there's no end in sight to the protest

prisoners say this is the only way for them to be heard having been forgotten in the holes or washington the hunger strikers are seeking and then to indefinite detention and for president obama to keep broken promises and shut down the facility he is going to check on explains. after years of the inaction injustice and indifference and after more than three months of starvation autonomy detainees have finally got the president's attention i'm going to go back at this 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 again 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 you can do administrative leave without congress without having 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. 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't 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 going carnival 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 our joint statement it is not open to the states in a circumstance to force them to do each. and the full speeding here involves the

insertion of a tube of some significant done 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 infamous prison president of united states has said kuantan a moser problem and yet on the ground for some reason the camp administration continues to treat these men in humanely and did not deny them basic dignity for years the administration is engaged 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 got too big to ignore in washington i'm going to check on. all she spoke to norad colonel as a former detainee who spent two years in gone tom owen he described what he went through having also taken part in hunger strikes during his time that he told us

what's motivating the inmates to put their lives on the line i stayed five years and going on with all together and they always forced me to sign papers that i should agree that i mean member if i tie them taliban and every time when i refused to sign those kind of papers they tortured me in different kinds. of ways like waterboarding. electroshocks i'm also a couple times hunger strike and doing my time and going to normal so i can understand those detainees already 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 knows that you are innocent. ninety five percent of those prisoners already never had the trial 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're innocent. and we've also heard from many of the inmates are lawyers and one of them clive stafford smith who represents federal prisoners so it's ridiculous to keep detainees locked up just to prevent them from telling their story but talking about as you well know eighty six of one hundred sixty six prisoners have been cleared for release that's fifty two percent of men third and most of the people i represent there's only one way to end the strike fairly and that is to take the prisoners who've been cleared for release and set them free every single prisoner who's been set free in great britain and of been fourteen of them has behaved impeccably when they came back here unless you think it's wrong to go around telling the truth and giving speeches and writing books but none of them have done any criminal offense say for one who got a traffic ticket one time and it would be so perverse wouldn't it if we argued we

can snatch up innocent people abuse them for eleven years and then say because we've had beers then they might hate us therefore we'll keep them forever i mean that's ridiculous keeping the prisoners housed isolated and under total control doesn't come cheap either u.s. taxpayers are shelling out nine hundred thousand dollars a year for every inmate and gone tunnel and there are one hundred sixty six of them what's was that cost is likely to grow given new bills presented by force feeding doctors and medication and he's an expat a chef skit was an explanation of the practice. 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 the long tube the inmates are cuffed to a chair then a guard covers their head with a mask officially to prevent speeding and biting and insert its you 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 at 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 sea of 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 you also spoke to the authorities overseeing gone tunnelling beta had this side of the story and they the captain robert durand a spokesperson for the camp denied any widespread abuse how does a sanity policy of the united states and its drudgery of life through lawful means

we have currently thirty schools are. doing and cheerily said it's not a it's a procedure that's done in hospitals and nursing homes every day sustaining life she lawful means lawful if they get to about eighty five percent below that below eighty five percent of body weight some damage could be done we will do the involuntary seating it's not the detainees job to tell the truth the lawyers just repeat look at this case they're not they're not being subject to extreme temperatures they're not being denied food the water conditions are as good as they can possibly be you know they had satellite television and they had communal living get all kinds of good things. but the picture drawn by the gone can of a spokesman contradict so detainees lawyers are saying federal public defender colace want to represent the hunger strike in prison and he pointed out that the minute she hasn't always been forthcoming with the truth 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 denied a strike was going on for a long time so the military has no credibility on the issue you have innocent men in solitary confinement and the military now has began new procedures like searching the men's genital areas before they come to talk to lawyers there they've never done this before they've employed this as a tactic to try to keep the men away from the lawyers and it's this is so transparent that they have no credibility on the issue i choose to ignore them i focus on the president because the president needs to step in here to not only hand and the hunger strike but more importantly to close guantanamo and he can still do it. let's now take a look at how the timeline of this standoff had gone time and according to the hunger strike began on the sixth of february but the next month the military denied any protest was going on lawyers for prisoners told a different story though describing their clients. and from.

lack of food and losing weight fast it was only on the fourteenth of march that authorities admitted to a hunger strike but only acknowledging that very few inmates were taking part in the following days gone tunnel of a spokes persons limbaugh said lawyers reported fabrications and false so during that time more and more people joined the hunger strike at the beginning of april the pentagon cancelled flights for lawyers to go on time and also began hearing all the military's standing to pile pressure on inmates to enter the protest detainees began to tell of the harsh force feeding techniques. called cells and april there was a military raid on the cell block that housed most of the prisoners with gunfire being reported for the first time and gone tunnels history the prisoners were split up in the pirate effort to force an end to the hunger strike towards the end of april as a number of hunger strikers soared the military dispatched

a further forty eight medics to assist in force feeding and monitoring inmates health and at the end of april barack obama finally acknowledged a strike describing the situation as problematic and vowing again to try to close the camp and we'll continue our coverage of this milestone one hundred days of the hunger strike with more expert analysis and opinion coming up on r.t. throughout the day. and of course the hunger for justice has seen kara's reaction from washington so far and i actually want to know you always want to hear your opinion or to think on the issue and the question is do you think the inmates will finally get what they want and let's now have a look at how online paul and right now right now i can't see anything right now so far more than half of you think that the hunger strike will only lead to further tightening on the screws of cam delta around a third say that fatalities are unavoidable the rest of you that voted more

pessimistic either thinking that concessions will be made and those cleared for release it will be freed on the gone time of a count will finally be closed. hunger strikes despair pushed to the limits. of the one hundred one tunnel detainees are screaming for justice. where is the end for. wealthy british style. time right on the. market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy

this is actually coming to life for most co welcome back the french economy house slipped a bock into recession after being dragged further into europe's financial troubles and the poor figures are stocking up against president all alone and whose regimes have slumped with a record speed c there are reports now on how the financial woes in europe's second largest economy has raised fears i wouldn't. i 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 there seeing him as not having done enough for the economy or those administering a steady 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 our fund 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 it would be extremely difficult to get out of the speciation. really bad policy which are used now going. spain she's cutting labor cost cutting no work of course we will. and you are not going to spend your afternoon in nice coffee like this one because you go to becoming too expensive for you well as these the small numbers had 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 that we see the sustained the lackluster numbers the harder it will be for

a recovery to take place reporting from paris i'm tess are sylvia. and i noticed alex cobell believe that the french need to overhaul the financial policies to get the economy back on track. what we saw in france was not a stereotype but what we call the first facility which is forced to stereotype forces first a pretty if your higher taxes higher public burning and public spending the average french worker is to accept fifty seven percent the. proportion of public debt. on the g.d.p. is a ninety eight percent so clearly we should look the other way and consider structural reforms lower taxes lower back spending and lower and coming up later this hour mark skies and stays ahead but falls behind king big shots to take cover as they come out with some interesting thoughts on how the markets operate.

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 but that'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 index. one hundred thousand dollars up front and one million per year apparently bets the

intelligence analysts to glenmore training are hard things russian counter-intelligence has won this round of the great game it is a great success for the airspeed the russian domestic security service what foley failed to do is follow certain 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 free large as the great game will in this we did to resistance russia has scored america has lost but make no bones about it there will be a few recalls at the moment and before we know relations for normal and those i say . the cia will replace only with another intelligence officer and the game will continue. it could be the day the music died as

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 envoy up and tried to have a chilling effect on not only journalists but the sources within the administration . now to some other news making headlines around the world and please be aware the following footage contains graphic content there's a grisly video allegedly shows fighters would be all nusra front a rebel group linked to al qaeda executing eleven government soldiers islamists can be heard shouting god is great after a child is fired this comes a day after the un general assembly condemned the forces of seaward of president bashar al assad a new resolution of the motion of war by council and other arab nations was adopted by a large majority. the wave of violence that has tried to wrong house continued

of the kaiser report. a fairly dickinson university study has been revealed to twenty nine percent of americans think that a revolution won't just happen in america but needs to be done in order to protect individual liberty if respondents consider themselves conservative than 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 an all 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 topple the statue of the dictator and then democracy just instantly comes about and life is good and happy i don't 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 fundamental can 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 it still is a resort but that's just my opinion.
