fly from moscow it's with me rory sushi a pleasure to have you with us today we'll start now with the world's top headlines the u.s. government is fighting a legal effort to stop the force feeding of hunger striking detainees at guantanamo bay lawyers for several prisoners have appealed to a washington court to intervene but the administration says federal judges have no say in what happens at camp or the mass hunger strike or the notorious u.s. military physical facility now entering its sixth month nearly two thirds of the inmates have joined in the protest against a ledge to mistreatment and detention without trial in fact it's the largest strike in the camps eleven year history military doctors are force feeding forty five detainees to try and keep him alive the highly controversial practice though has been condemned around the world but is still being defended by certain u.s. officials as ati's guy in a chicken now reports. the u.n. calls for the us to stop force feeding guantanamo hunger strikers the practice is

against international law and is seen by many as a form of torture and here is one thing first the guards strap the detainee down to a chair like this one then they put a mask over his face so that the detainee can't move bite or spit then the nurse snakes the feeding tube into nasal cavity the feeding tube which is roughly the size of a pens in court for each word this well this is not an actual feeding tube but it gives you an idea here and this area is very rich in nerve endings and patients report extreme pain during the procedure and the nurse pushes the troop further down the throat creating a tightness that makes breathing difficult at that point patients typically feel pressure on their chest along some say it feels like they were drowning then the staff taped the troop to the detainees know so that they can bite or swallow it and then two cans of nutritional substances are being funneled

through the tube now we road to guantanamo and asked whether they use an anesthetic for this seemingly painful procedure here's the response typically not however it is so veil of all of the detainees requests it mostly take these prefer to use standard all of world to lubricate the truth. us of officials are trying to make it sound like it's not as bad but here is how one of the detainees a yemeni man somewhere in a jailhouse on the bell the squires what for speeding actually feels like i will never forget the first time they passed a feeding tube up my nose i can't describe how painful it is to be force fed this way as it was thrust it made me feel like throwing up i wanted to vomit but i couldn't there was getting in my chest throat and stomach i had never experienced such pain before i would not wish this cruel punishment upon anyone we also asked the kuantan official how many detainees resist the procedure and how many give their consent to it and he went back saying the majority of the days when his

report completely and do not resist detainees are given a choice to eat a hot meal drink the liquid near trained or be entrails fit all the detainees see the choice differently take a listen to. when they come to force me into the chair if i refuse to be tied up they call the team so i have no choice either i can exercise my right to protest my detention and be beaten up or i can submit to pay in full force feeding for most people these detainees are out of sight out of mind as sudden as it is they see physical suffering as the only way for the world to draw the world's attention to their plight we can't hear their voices but here's what they write i'm doing this because i want to know my destiny i cannot abide not knowing anymore i just hope that because of the pain we are suffering the eyes of the world will once again look to guantanamo before it is too indefinite detention is the worst form of torture. respect us or kill us it's your choice the u.s.

must take off its mask and kill us the obama administration doesn't want. to die but neither is it in a rush to give the detainees their lives back in washington i'm going to check on. and the way medical personnel are treating detainees virtually amount so that of malpractise that's the view of dr frank arnold the regime which the joint task force for guantanamo has written for the cleveland of these people requires truly abusive care and also is involves the use of medicines which are dangerous they are not allowed to behave like doctors and are compelled by the military hierarchy to behave like jailers in particular several of them have commented to me through their lawyers that when they are asked to doctors for example to stop the environmental manipulation which leaves them

freezing. or we humans for various disturbances the doctor says they have no power to do anything and as one of them's one of the hunger strikers what is the point of a doctor like right now one of the detainees has written a letter to his lawyer claiming he and other inmates are being sexually assaulted by the guards this during full body cavity searches every time they leave an end to their cells now form and get most guarded terry holbrooke's he says some staff have been mistreating detainees to try and get revenge for nine eleven. could be thrown in the toilet or thrown on the ground or mistreated in some other form and cetera that happened often and aggressive searches of detainees person that happened as well if there are motivation behind it i would say that that somewhere in the british occasion of the american society we led the soldiers to believe. in abusing

detainees it's going to somehow even the score for nine eleven there are soldiers in the army in the navy air force marines and cetera who think that if they kill an arab they mistreat a muslim if they abuse a detainee it's going to somehow balance the score for nine eleven and it's not really difficult to step back and realize nothing is going to bring those people back to life and it mounting public and legal pressure barack obama has now appointed a new envoy in charge of closing guantanamo bay sloan he's already had a tour of the prison but has so far made no detailed statements on how well when he intends to shut it down i mean while obama has come under fresh fire for not using his own authority to end the history of good mo as a he's a really good points now as president i have tried to close gitmo i transferred sixty seven detainees to other countries before congress imposed restrictions to effectively prevent us from either transferring detainees to other countries or

imprisoning them here in the united states. these restrictions make no such this statement coming from the person many referred to as the most powerful man in the world may sound sincerely frustrated but many believe it has little honesty to it that while one has been blogging obvious he's been claiming that he can't do anything but that's simply not true he's operating a droll assassination program claiming he has the power to do that is present the united states and yet somehow he's claiming that he doesn't have the power to close down a military prison and she's the commander in chief of the united states armed forces is not a bit strange they fishel and most often cited reason for not releasing prisoners even the eighty six cleared of all charges they have no place to go especially the so-called indefinite detainees terror suspects considered too dangerous to read go but impossible to try in either civil or military court largely because the

evidence supporting claims of their terror activity has allegedly been received through torture and interrogation which cannot be used as evidence in court the very existence of these men was shrouded in secrecy with the u.s. officially revealing their identities only several weeks back after they'd been entertainment for years another sign the u.s. isn't really considering shutting down the prison is the amount of money poured into good lol the jail is a record setter dubbed by some as the most expensive jail in history annual cross of the base operation runs at just over one hundred fifty million dollars it means nine hundred thousand dollars per prisoner every year eighteen times the average yearly income of an average american household the latest innovation of the base of fiber optic cable to connect it to the u.s. mainland for the sake of better internet service for military personnel stationed on cuba will set the taxpayers back another forty million should the congress approve it hardly sounds like

a necessity if the prison was to be shut down then again there are still those who believe being held in guantanamo is tantamount to staying at a luxury resort in tropical paradise one of those is the house speaker and the mint opponent of get most closer. i don't know that there's a terrorist treated better anywhere in the world than what's happened at one town and we've spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build a facility that has more comforts than a lot of americans get but those who know what this movie is like back to differ well maybe they should go and try it you know they think it's such a fantastic place they should try twelve years of indefinite detention and see how much they enjoy it and perhaps force feeding and confinement i mean we know that prison conditions in the united states which has the largest prison population in the whole world a far from ideal we see the force feeding going on at guantanamo bay the solitary confinement the the invasive physical searches of prisoners we have these

journalists you have various other people who are allowed to visit guantanamo bay but they never meet the prisoners they never see the actual conditions that these people are being held and what the prisoners say about why she happens there's probably a lot more accurate since they've been subject to this but this wife claims that guantanamo is just sort of a vacation camp perhaps of its exotic location it remains one of the world's most notorious prisons where people are held without trial for years and the conditions are such that inmates choose to go without food for five months rather than accept the conditions they're being held in in cuba r.t. . an attorney for one of the detainees being force fed. he says the protesters are simply trying to get heard by obama who does have the authority to put an end to the prison. they find it very painful they find it very degrading they find it humiliating. they are on hunger strike in order to express themselves in the only way available to them to speak out against very definite detention many of them are

being held in solitary confinement it's become increasingly difficult for them to communicate with their lawyers they do not want to die that's not the reason why there are now under stress they want to be heard they want to speak out against their floors. and you want to be either tris or released person and obama himself as the commander in chief of the united states he has the power to stop but we're hoping that he does very soon. if you can i do stay with us here on r.t. throughout the day our special coverage of the mass hunger strike at one ton of mowbray which has now reached its one hundred and fifty a day mark. it is not a surprise to me that we have problems and one time during a time of budget cuts we spend one hundred fifty million dollars each year to imprison one hundred sixty six people get more as become a symbol around the world for an america that was the rule of law.

thanks for joining us here on arts here i'm rule research showing in moscow and latin america has put on a joint show of outrage over what they called political terrorism by washington leaders that met after a number of e.u. countries refused the president of bolivia as jet access to their airspace after which he was forced to land in austria and then searched amid rumors that the u.s. whistleblower edward snowden may have been on board latin american leaders echoed president evo morales as anger while meeting in bolivia venezuela's leader says it shows how an american elite rules europe and the argentinean president suggested it's odd that morale is plane was diverted by those who usually talk about upholding human rights ecuador's leaders said the u.s. is trying to colonize the region and even more allies himself stressed that he will not hesitate to shut down the american diplomatic mission in his country. a little

but you know we will clearly examine it and if it's necessary we will close the u.s. embassy in bolivia we do not need the american embassy we don't need their cooperation or diplomatic relations with them while they conspire against us from within our country and from the outside my hand won't shake to close the u.s. embassy we've got dignity we've got sovereignty without the us we're better politically and democratically without the i.m.f. and world bank we're better economically so we do not need them. and a policy of development specialist powell or a phony he says latin american countries are revolting against what they see as the dominance of one global power. these rules of international law have been told to be. shaken. i would say since one thousand eighty nine all i'm. told that even in the western powers there is

a situation where someone is more equal than. the beauty of a sovereign state decisions. completely. to favor the major interest of the center of the imperial system which is washington in this case. closely following the reaction to washington's moves across latin america monitoring the developments in the case whistleblower edward snowden who ultimately sparked this ongoing diplomatic spat and the. pirate party wants the former cia employee given citizenship to save him from his legal limbo in a moscow airport transit lounge meanwhile here in just a couple of minutes rallying for rights schools of american independence day with demonstrations against the national security agency and the practice of illegal searches and the details are coming up short.

blind to what is happening in their country. the american dream is disappearing. the poor are left hopeless the streets are full of angry crowds. fighting against. the american dream. wealthy british style. markets. i know what's really happening to the global economy is.

mohamed morsi the former egyptian leader was brought to the streets but stability though it's yet to follow a day off to egypt's president was toppled the army is widening its crackdown shutting down media and arresting those close to the deposed leader is muslim brotherhood party is calling for a wave of protests on friday reporting from cairo true. had the interim president adly mansour who is the head of the constitutional court sworn in yesterday he made some reassuring sounds the nation that he would have a as

a technocratic. council to be the country he even extended a hand out to mr brotherhood saying they would be included in the map and it's the road map of the future however really we are seeing a seriously divided country we have the supporters of the deposed president who say they are reeling they don't understand what happened they're extremely confused they maintain the president is still the president and they are not backing down on the other hand as you know we had jubilant scenes when the president was ousted protesting feel that the army has really listened to their voice and delivered on this i mean while people are worried that the military he's troops on the streets right now are looking for power with lots of people discussing whether or not this is a military coup they're waiting to see if the military will deliver on their promise of this just being a transitional period at the moment people are very nervous they're worried about the feature of egypt this huge divisions that clash is still continuing between supporters and opponents of the former president we don't know where the president

is we've got all these arrests happening every day with t.v. channels being shut down leaving pro brotherhoods so it's very very unstable really on edge here in egypt so speaking of the supporters they say they feel out loads and they feel targeted by the military and rights groups are responding to this is saying they feed that this could be a crackdown on the mr brotherhood which is something that we've seen in the past under hosni mubarak and former presidents when the group was banned this could push them underground and push them to be more violent if they feel that they really backed into a corner to really we're seeing you know quite a lot of tension here in egypt with expected clashes today. in cairo egypt's foreign minister in the meantime has assured u.s. secretary of state john kerry that the overthrow of mohamed morsi was not a military coup for although the will of the people the war correspondent and columnist to eric margolis adult star saying the ousting of a legitimate leader has little to do with democratic principles. it is nothing to

do with democracy when you've seen the legitimately elected. overthrown. is i see it shameful that in the west you're needers are pussyfooting around. it is not this is an old fashioned military coup the army four hundred forty thousand man. trains were a domestic control. and there'd be egypt's police forces who were. going to ruin the tories for premier crush this sense street demonstrations so. it's going to be very difficult for the brotherhood to assert it's. twenty minutes past the hour here in the russian capital r t dot com is your source for more news updates and videos let's have

a look and see what's standing by for this hour right now where you can read the story of a teenager who was not only incarcerated but also beaten up for his online posts and find out which remarks landed him in such hot water. and scientists getting all excited about a new out of this world discovery the existence of space when they tell us they're also on the website right now. in the meantime there were thousands of rallied across the u.s. and abroad against the n.s.a.'s massive global surveillance program or the restore the fourth movement to initially emerged on a social networks but quickly gained support with its calls to respect the fourth amendment of the bill of rights that protect citizens ultimately against illegal searches and seizures one of our correspondents a marina she visited such a protest in new york. on the birthday of america's independence hundreds are taking to the streets in new york city and throughout the country to take part in the restore the fourth rally this is

a campaign that watched last month in the aftermath of edward snowden's revelations about america's call for spying program a program that has shocked those living in the united states and those living around the world now the restore the fourth aims to offer if you were stored the fourth bill of rights which protects us citizens from on the lawful search and seizures the purpose of this rally organizers say is to spread awareness and spur political action against unconstitutional spying by the us government press freedom not advocates that we spoke with say that these protests are crucial because mainstream media is not adequately covering the n.s.a. leaks and their importance to everyday citizens i believe that the fourth amendment is being breached by telling the government but by the police with search and seizure with the n.s.a. leaks and everything has been coming out even though they say that there's laws

that make everything they do legal it seems like legal gymnastics to me i voted for obama twice i donated twice but i'm tired of the expansion of these programs that seem to violate our rights it really frightened me that the director of national intelligence lied to congress and i haven't really been any repercussions we're living in the midst of the of the largest. you know an unreasonable search and seizure system we've ever seen in the history of mankind is completely suspiciousness search and seizure of our information and that people should be infuriated that this crowd has marched more than kilometers down manhattan with andy here at federal hall where the first congress passed the bill of rights in addition to this event more than five hundred thousand people have signed an online petition stop watching dodd was demanding full disclosure of all. and i say programs now although this rally may be over those participating in it say that their campaign is just getting ready from new york marina portnoy writes. and

one of the organizers of the rally in new york he says current government surveillance is ultimately on the mining the legal values of the country it is necessary for surveillance to occur however the problem with the way that it's being done now is that it is wholly unconstitutional and i would say that many people feel that way but the fourth amendment says the government can search and seize any information without a warrant and although warrants can be issued through the five minutes act they're usually done after the fact after the search has been done and they've had a almost one hundred percent approval rate of these firings after the fact we hope to be able to make the. programs constitutional by explicitly prohibiting surveillance of americans without warrants fact by probable probable cause. our

straight into the world of that we go to the syrian opposition it's now urging the u.n. and western countries to intervene and provide aid to rebel held areas that's off with a fractured coalition met in turkey on thursday to try and elect a new leader of the opposition wants to reassure their backers they can be trusted with more weapons and that the syrian army is reason the advances of the west not considering sending even more to the conflict zone despite many fighters having direct links to al qaeda. and to peru where police have been firing tear gas at hundreds of students on civil servants who are rallying against tougher laws introducing annual assessments for government workers and university professors and critics say the reform will cost jobs and jeopardize the independence of universities though the president disagrees he says it will improve. south africa's former president nelson mandela is said to be in a critical but stable condition and the apartheid hero has been receiving treatment
