international news and comment online on screen twenty four hours a day this is. at least three people are said to have been killed and several injured as troops in egypt. mohamed morsy backers the military has denied shooting live rounds saying it only used rubber bullets and tear gas middle east correspondent paula is in the egyptian capital following the escalating situation. placed three people have been killed and several dozen injured in the latest round of clashes between the pro morsi supporters and the military the confrontation took place as a group of demonstrators pushed their way forward to go into the headquarters of the republican guard building now going to eyewitnesses one of those killed managed to put up a poster of the deposed president on the barbed wire surrounding this building when he was shot in the head it is believed that president morsy and some fifty five members of he's asked of parliament are currently inside the headquarter building

the army however has denied using live ammunition it says it has only used blank rounds and tear gas the interior ministry also saying that they would no deaths reported in front of this building all of this is happening on a friday of rejection there are mass demonstrations happening across egypt the muslim brotherhood and other islamic groups have called for their supporters to take to the streets to express their anger against the ousting of the old major from present elfie here in cairo there are thousands of protesters gathering in massive city the military also continues to round up the muslim brotherhood leadership there are a risk warrants for some three hundred top islamize figures we know that dozens of them have already been arrested and that many of them are in hiding fearing that the hunt for them is on this city is a sense of deja vu i mean it was only two years ago that hosni mubarak was ousted

from power and now this week we see the same happening with his successor the point of a nice to be made that mohamed morsi was elected by democracy that is the point he continues to make the point the court has continued to shout and they say that the only way to get rid of a democratically elected president is at the ballot box and also make the point that he's only been in powerful one year and that he inherited a a system that was internally corrupt any needs to be given a full to. office to deal with the entire country is in a state of high alert the police had ice and their presence particularly in north and south sinai and in the suez earlier this morning there was an attack on an airport there egypt has also closed its border with gaza a full fearing third of myself and further attacks coming they have to be talking about a country that is not only facing internal division that is not in any faith they can turn up protest but it's also just great promise. five

months and counting that's how long the inmates at the guantanamo bay prison have been refusing food to protest what they call inhumane treatment despite international outrage over the situation the hunger strike is showing no signs of ending and today we're taking a closer look at why. so nearly two thirds of the inmates have now joined the protest against the indefinite detention without trial forty five of those prisoners being strapped to a chair and having nutrients forced down their nose twice a day the government says the procedure is done in the most humane way possible and it's trying to prevent death by using it but you've got to look at how the controversial practice is actually carried out and what the prisoners say about it . the un cost to 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 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 incorporates or this all this is not an actual feeding tube but it gives you an idea 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 nose so that they can bite or swallow it and then two cans of nutritional substances are being funneled through the tube now we rode to guantanamo and asked whether they use an anesthetic

for this seemingly painful procedure here's the response typically not however it is available if the detainees request that most detainees prefer to use standard all of oral to lubricate the two you are still trying to make it sound like it's not as bad but here is how one of the detainees a yemeni man somewhere in our g. all house on the bell describes what force feeding 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 want to devolve it but i couldn't there was good 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 won't be. saying the majority of the detainees report compliantly and do not resist detainees are given a choice to eat a hot meal drink the liquid new trend or be enthralled fed by the detainee see the

choice differently take a listen. 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 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 paid 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 inmates to die but neither is it in

a rush to give the detainees their lives back in washington i'm going to check on. around one hundred forty people from the u.s. navy's medical personnel performing these procedures and dr frank arnold he believes that these medics are being negligent and abusive towards the detainees only because they're following orders from the military. 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 each week. for various disturbances the doctor says they have no power to do it and as one of them one of the hunger strikers what is the point of a doctor like right. well attorney ken marino has served in the u.s. air force for nearly two decades and conducted more than a thousand interrogations during his tenure let's talk to him live now did you actually talk to people yourself. no i didn't in fact i was one of the people that was stopping torture when i saw it and arguing against even technique x. that i considered to be abusive such as you just heard which was the manipulation of temperature to force people or course them to provide information but where that tough interrogation methods which you felt were justified when you had to ask these sort of people questions there in guantanamo. i mean the ward tough to me

tough to me is a is a good interrogation that's performed ethically that course of that. starts with report building and then makes a very strong argument for detaining to cooperate and terribly that to me is a tough interrogation using harsh techniques or what people have called enhanced interrogation techniques which to me are just another name for torture abuse are not tough interrogations are actually the easiest for detainees to get through because it's mostly about enduring pain and if you reinforce to them that we're their enemy force by using pain it becomes very simple for them formula to to just resist answering the questions you're asking you would actually get the answers you're looking for through the in the hunt interrogation techniques you plops would get the answers you're looking for with alternative methods is that what you think. yeah i never saw enhanced interrogation techniques or anything even

close to that work in fact in almost every case i saw them used the detainees recessed and essentially hunkered down quick cooperated even when they were providing basic information quit volunteering at all and it made the process much longer because you have to send in a new interrogator start the report process all over in a race from their mind all that or try to race in their mind all of that bad treatment no one prisoner in the end it takes longer right now one prisoner we're learning is saying that many of the detainees are being sexually assaulted during invasive boarding one of the with the authorities be doing that. if it's true. well i can only assume that they're doing the searches because they've found contraband within the cells but i think they really need to weigh you know what is the value of these searches which they which the cheney's obviously consider sexual

assault in there's a lot of things short of sexual assault you know touching during physical searches that paintings will find offensive that aren't going to help you. do in terms of our image in the world in the way that we treat detainees but what seems crazy is that you will invading somebody's body space when they're already detaining guantanamo what math will be they will be highlighting that. you know the it beats me what they're hiding i think i think the bigger picture here has to do with leadership and the way the detention facility is run and the detention group is run if if relations have gotten to the point where they are now where you have one hundred fifty detainees who are hunger striking in you have these allegations of sexual assault in some type of a poor within the process is completely broken down and that's that's really an issue of leadership of the people who are running the prison and why they can't

maintain discipline without having to use these extreme methods methods which the u.n. human rights council has said violate the minimum standard for detainees treatment and this sort of treatment is it not encouraging provocative attacks by people who are clearly not in the prison itself but it will actually provoke people to retaliate by terrorist attacks and provoke move on its. you know i still work in the middle east and i still hear time in and time out from people there on the street that when tom obey represents the idea that america is at war against muslims it's not at war against criminals who commit terrorist acts and we cannot erase what's happened at the time of day in the past regardless of how well you know hard we try going to obey as i learned in iraq when we debriefed foreign fighters was his number one recruitment tool along with abu ghraib and it will continue to be so long as it is open and especially in light of the fact that

eighty six of one hundred sixty six detainees have been cleared of any wrongdoing and cleared for release this is you know the indefinite detention of anniston people is a great selling point for al qaeda to recruit new fighters that america is not the country that it says it is former senior military into going to turn you can read and thank you very much indeed your thoughts on the tea things. well the united states is running up quite a bill by keeping guantanamo bay guantanamo bay open as well one hundred fifty million dollars per year now that's how much the pentagon is spending on the facility that's roughly a million prisoner compare that to the costs of regular in within the u.s. then put that into perspective the average american citizen makes nearly one thousand times less than what the government pays for each guantanamo prison that well that stay with us here in our t.

because we'll be covering all things guantanamo throughout the day and we'll be talking to former prisoners their lawyers and military personnel about the situation at the facility. it is not a surprise to me that we. during a time of budget cuts we spend one hundred and fifty million dollars each year to imprison one hundred sixty six people dead more as become a symbol of around the world for america the quotes the evil. stories ahead including outrage in south america triggered by the grounding of the libyan presidential plane with the president saying he is ready to close the u.s. embassy in his country blaming washington for pressuring europe to block his moral net coming up after this break.

language of all but i will only react to situations i have read the reports so the point is that no i will leave the state department a comment on your latter point of the month to say that the security of a car is on the job here no gonna. take you no more weasel words. when you question and be prepared for a change when you should be ready for. freedom of speech and down to freedom to costs. more news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are today.

news continues here in r.t. latin american leaders have been infuriated by the recent grounding of the bolivian presidential plane condemning it as a slap in the face for the region they've been rallying in support of their colleague ever but our lives whose plane was rerouted over suspicions the n.s.a. leaker edward snowden was on board well they're now demanding an apology from france italy portugal and spain europe wide slammed their actions as political terrorism to the international right of asylum a harsh comment here from venezuela to the u.s. a league the rules europe and the president of argentina said it was curious morale his plane was grounded by those who used to talk about protecting international rights while the ecuadorian president said it felt as though they are being treated

like a colony and the bolivian president himself said he's even ready to shut the american mission the embassy there to his country. we will clearly examine 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 with the u.s. we're better politically and democratically with the i.m.f. and world bank we're better economically so we do not need them in spain says it and other countries were told snowden was on board the bolivian plane but it's refused to say where the information came from despite south american leaders claiming washington's hand was behind the diversion of president when on his plane the u.s.

has remained quiet policy and development specialist part of the phone says that the u.s. has built a global power system where sovereignty is in question. the rules of international law have been totally. shaken. by it would say since one thousand nine hundred nine on. a level that even among the western powers now there is a situation where someone is more equal than others and the possibility of a sovereign state to adopt a decision regarding a side or protection of a certain individual are completely put aside. to favor the major interests of the center of the imperial system which is washington in this case. the grounding of the bolivian presidential plane in europe comes hot on the heels of revelations about the vast snooping activities of the us which targeted e.u. officials and citizens the move by europe's authorities therefore has certainly raised eyebrows according to investigative reporter dave lindorff. it's quite astonishing

to me to see how the leaders in europe germany and france and several other countries spoke out angrily at finding out that they were being spied on that their embassies were being spied on in washington that the e.u. off system cells in europe were being spied on and then all of a sudden they all flat out said first of all they would not grant asylum to snowden who led them to know all that and then they key in on this flight that they thought was carrying snowden i think what was happening was the u.s. probably told them about a plane that had snowden on it didn't bother to tell them that it was a presidential flight. meanwhile the man who blew the whistle on sweeping global bugging tapping and intercepting is still stranded in a moscow airport you can head to altie dot com to follow the unfolding snowden saga license part of the law he wants the whistleblower to be given citizenship to save

him from legal limbo in a transit lounge. another click away and if you don't come california police arrest a man for playing loud music and videotaping them before they bend that he's don't have to pay it jumped at an officer. time now for all welled up late this. and we're just getting the news that police in peru have clashed with well i can't bring you that story for the moment but i can bring you the story concerning yes i can't talk to you about the police in peru they clash with protesting civil servants in lima using water cannons and tear gas to break up the

crowds as they rallied against new laws forcing annual assessments on government workers this is the most recent of a string of protests against multiple reforms that have been taking part in cities nationwide critics say job losses are on the horizon on thursday students demonstrate against changes to education. a suicide bombing has rocked a predominantly sunni town in iraq killing at least four people and attackers in uniform detonated his car packed with explosives just before midday prayers as follows a wave of bombings across the country choose day which claimed fifty six lives in one day alone according to un statistics more than seven hundred people were killed last month in iraq as a country goes through a spiral of sectarian violence. simple homes have been hit by some of the heaviest boteler since the beginning or the syrian conflict artillery and air strikes and now its best six day a syrian army led offensive said to be backed by the lebanese way of has been are

is muted with strong rebel resistance this comes as revelations show support for the opposition may have backfired as terrorist groups aspire to europe according to the show office intelligence chief. the echo of discontent over the n.s.a. sweeping surveillance program is now rocking the us itself as more than one hundred cities across america marked independence day with a mass rally against spying the restore the fourth campaign initially kicked off on social networks and has rapidly game support calling for respect for the fourth amendment of the bill of rights which protect citizens against illegal searches and seizures of porn are caught up with 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 wants last month in the aftermath of edward snowden's revelations

about america's cool 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 game to offer to restore the fourth bill of rights which protects us citizens from on the lawful search and seizure is the purpose of this rally organizers say is to spread awareness and spur political action against unconstitutional spying by the u.s. government press freedom out 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 only the government but by the police with search and seizure with the n.s.a. leaks and everything that's 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 frighten 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 on unreasonable search and seizure system we've ever seen in the history of mankind is completely suspicion less 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 cost the bill of rights in addition to this event more than five hundred thousand people have signed an online petition stop watching dr 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 for new york marina march. he's an organizer of the rally in new york says

the fact the u.s. government has been spying on electronic communications without valid warrants makes surveillance unprecedented and unlawful. it is necessary for surveillance to occur however the problem with the way that it's being done now is that it is totally unconstitutional and i would say that many people feel that way the fourth amendment says the government can search and seize any information without a warrant and although warrants and be issued through the amendments act they're usually done after the fact after the search is done and they've had a almost one hundred percent of. these firings after the fact we hope to be able to make the. programs constitutional by explicitly prohibiting surveillance of americans without warrants backed by probably probable cause. to bring it up to date for the moment i'll be back with

a news team in just over half an hour as the news continues in the meantime we've been in the deep into what cools the wall street crash and the great depression that's the heist next one on t.v. . as a personal lives in russia i get asked very often why i had a console fat well are americans actually fat or is this just a myth from some hater countries the centers for disease control have declared obesity to be a disease that's a twenty point nine percent of adult americans are obese and that is an all time high people blame the sedentary lifestyle as the cause yes if you were out all day at work and then all evening after driving the home sure doesn't help your waistline but problems can have multiple causes and the authors of the book rich
