to find out me visit our big don't go t.v. george called. six months of starvation guantanamo god will save the hunger strike is on the way but desperate prisoners stay good despite repeated force feeding and invasive body searches. tough times for the u.k.'s youth who will look at the plight of jobless the young bridge two years off to violent riots rocked london and other parts of the country. and to four hundred fifty kurdish a women and children are reportedly killed in syria as radical islamic militants attack kurd villages.

it's nine am here from other russian capital moscow you're watching r t with me tom would say it's good to have you company with us of the small. it's now a hall for. prisoners began their hunger strike so u.s. military says the self-imposed starvation protests is waning because inmates have been eating off to dos to as is tradition in the holy month of ramadan but painful force feeding procedures and invasive body searches are still part of the dating routine for many of the prisoners is a washington correspondent than if she can. every day in guantanamo it's groundhog day whether you're a guard or a prisoner that's how one officer described life would get mail every day's the same as the last then there is no escape for many inmates it's a painful routine routine that includes regular searches and force feeding twice a day for those who are on hunger strike the latest account from the prison comes from a british resident named shakur amr has been held for eleven years of good will never

charged with any crime shuckers been on hunger strike since january has also refused to leave his cell he writes i have said what i want to do just sit there for a week doing nothing just sitting it's about as nonviolent non-problematic protest as you could imagine but they won't let me do it so the forcible cell extraction ting carries him out of the cell his hands and feet in shackles to a special place where they perform a search a pet down which armor and other inmates call the diploma sarge they flipped me over for the surge mostly that's just an assault sometimes a sexual assault we call it to get my message they carry me like you suck of potatoes which is really painful for me. guantanamo officials actually responded to our inquiry about shocking allegations by saying we don't comment on any detainee allegations made through their defense attorneys regardless of how ridiculous and absurd the allegations might be by saying this guantanamo officials may be

suggesting the trucker's allegations are ridiculous and absurd could be but nonetheless has a history of torture and abuse which washington has tried to cover up by hiding behind state secrets privilege if you listen to the officials you're led to believe life would get more was not so bad the inmates can watch cable t.v. they're well fed and force feeding is not as bad as it sounds no matter what the u.n. says after all they use a lubricant to shove the feeding tube down the detainees nostrils to make sure the detainees don't resist of course they struck them to a chair on the receiving end that is on the detainees and is of course a completely different story they report pain humiliation and despair that's their routine in washington i'm going to check them. now i'm done i'm a bay is already of the world's most expensive prison but new data from the u.s. defense department shows the bill is running even higher than previously thought

another facility opened in two thousand and two and its overall price tag will top five billion dollars by next year keeping one hundred sixty six inmates house at the prison means u.s. taxpayers are picking up the tab of over a million dollars a day when tunnel bay is located in cuba so the u.s. has to spend plenty of cash on shipping food materials and flying personnel here's how the total tab breaks down for the with a big chunk of this allocated to prison stuff and security guards another large chunk of taxpayer funding goes to maintaining a high security wall court keeping the prison running seems meanwhile seems to serve as a recruitment tool for terrorists worldwide that's what the senior counter-terrorist terrorism counsel for human rights watch told us the problem we have with one tunnel that as long as it remains open as long as the u.s. engages in this eleven years plus regime if you go to tension then terrorists will

continue to have a very powerful tool for recruitment in order to say to young disaffected manager out of the affected regions look at what the united states is doing to your brothers look at what the united states claimed it would stop doing because of course the man and one time on people around the world you know that president obama lashed opposed pantano was in one year taking office that was four and a half years ago and there is now closure and there's a very simple way to close it down and that's either prosecute people for hunger sufficient evidence of crimes in legitimate courts like the u.s. federal words and release the others that has always been the way to close guantanamo. the prisoners began refusing food because they've been detained without charge and once more humane treatment the u.n. special report awful torture trying to find out more about the conditions but he told us that the pentagon only offered him a very limited toll on the facility. unfortunately i was not allowed to visit. the town of obey at least not in the terms that i have to apply under the rules

that i am subject to i did get invited by the pentagon but on conditions that i couldn't accept because conditions was that i would see only the parts of the prison that they wanted to show me and specifically that i could not have individual meetings with within maids they claim that they can only give me the same terms that they give united states legislators for example or that they give giorno their store other visitors but i am to speak the united nations special rapporteur on torture and the terms of visits to detention centers but i apply have been approved by the human rights council so i'm not asking the united states to give me any preferential treatment but i also cannot give the united states preferential treatment by. now president obama still has in close guantanamo bay

despite the making that promise side during his first campaign during the two thousand and eight campaign r.t. political commentator sam sags told breaking the said why he thinks the prisons are still open. i think the most pressing question when it comes to guantanamo right now is you know twelve years on all the rhetoric that we've heard from the obama administration all this talk for years now that it needs to be closed you know what's keeping this facility open certainly there's a lot of blame to put on the obama administration but we also have to go back and look at the bush administration because this was created under the bush administration in two thousand and two and it was created in dick cheney openly says this they wanted to put a facility off u.s. soil so that they can get around certain rights that these detainees would have if they were on u.s. soil and also the bush administration committed torture to get a lot of this information a lot of the time here so here we are twelve years later president obama is afraid that if you release of these people they might commit some terrorist act in the

future really that's not a way to govern out of fear the rest of these detainees are people who the government feels that they have a strong case against that they've done something wrong but none of the evidence they've gathered is permissible in court so they can't exactly hold them to this normal trial so instead they're just leaving them there indefinitely it's poor planning was shortsighted planning to create this facility and there was just fear that's keeping it open. plan to more issues covered in breaking the said to which is here at six thirty g.m.t. now we've been monitoring bank one time a hunger strike since it started at the beginning of february and we've clinical old it all for you on our website let's take it to the dot com has all guantanamo fine line we've got all the latest updates a plus for his head prisoner calms reaction and expert analysis of what's going on

at the notorious summit. right from the scene. first for you and i think that you're. when our reporters were very. vehement. two years a sense of honor and drives a rock to london and other cities and towns across the u.k. and britain to the still feels left behind with the government pressing on with cats on thousands of young people are fading and forming into long term joblessness once more in cvs way is certain and long before the unrest in twenty eleven youth unemployment has been rising steadily since the two thousand and two figures almost

doubled in the past nine years and currently stands at almost a million meaning that one in five brits aged sixteen to twenty four don't have jobs and the number of those not study is also on the rise according to the universities and colleges admissions services applications from any student saw at their level lowest in the past four yes this as a to wish in fees have tripled in twenty twelve parties a star for its med a young brit to took part in the riots two years ago to find out if anything has changed. everyone. wanted to. meet charlie at his council house it's been almost two years since the westin imprisonment as a result of his participation in the london riots he received a six month sentence for theft to charlie the impact of his actions have lost it follow along you would think that.

you know where. this thing. hasn't made it. through. it's big. i would never. kill these one of those he would have been dumped in the aftermath of the rioting with the turn barrel also pretty cool he met with many young people he got caught up in the violence and her new book seeks to what she says is an isolating and stigmatising tight so i spare you for the time to deliberately because i knew it was a phrase that gets used by politicians by the media to describe well often to describe young people in general which is just complete misnomer very unfair and i'm just so

we're not almost one hundred percent of the time the motivations behind the riots were complex the basic economics play a key part of the rich poor divide so it's stream at the moment the poor are kind of thing and the thing that you know that being left behind that was a phrase i heard in my research a lot you know we're being left behind and so i think it might be the start of something more i don't think the problem is it's gone away so they haven't gone away then we're going to see more more problem until the things start to get results but the spark that started the riots largely attributed to the sheeting and killing by police of a man named mark duggan here in the london borough talking two years on and friends and family is still awaiting an inquest expected in mid september but as they wait but on so many questions still remain over the ensuing violence some putting it down to mindless criminality others to deep rooted social problems that many feel

guilt have not been dealt with indeed youth unemployment in the u.k. remains that crisis levels latest figures show that nearly a million people between the ages of eighteen and twenty pool around. i'm never going to join in because also. i think for me a bit of. a country. i mean it was i was performing a job. apart from with a criminal record. at the time of the riots the prime minister described the behavior of people like charlie as mindless criminality pure and simple often they need to. listen to us more because we live in the last basically in the slums we haven't got nothing so they need to sort of listen to us and let us just put our world across and maybe what we need or what we want not necessarily what we

want what we need and what might help us if they become who is in front of you right now what would you say to him that you think young people need right now to help you serve more you've crops and more to do maybe more funding to do things he says he's going to do this and that to help people. when we're going to be given. us as after all so i hope you know you've given there's all this talk about this and there's no action. scene on the. surface i see london. most stories ahead for you here on our team shooting the turkey trial to curtail a coup riot police are fired tear gas thousands of demonstrators says a court hands out prison terms to lawyers journalists and a for one army general we'll have more on that in just a few minutes don't go away. the

main competitor girl on the market is mother nature. may customers struggle with her. fight for each draw from in those dirty supply. let people think are your prices purer water. bottle life on our cheek. they use it up there and wash their hands. and flush their toilets with the same warning that this series is selling and spraying water. right on the scene. first street. and i think that you're. on our reporters' twitter. instagram.

to be in the. welcome back you're watching our militants in syria have reported he apparently killed four hundred fifty kurdish civilians so it's being reported along with unverified horrific footage by an iranian news channel which has claims that one hundred twenty children. well monk there is a slaughter now the other three hundred thirty victims are said to be women and it's believed that gunmen affiliated with or the radical militant al nusra group attacked a villages in a kurdish dominated region in northern syria so far and i have a government and all the rebels have confirmed the report we cannot verify this disturbing footage is showing people being torched alive meanwhile two hundred

civilians or from two kurdish of villages are being held hostage by an al qaeda linked a group of militants launched militants launched an assault on tal iran and a cell there is not abducted were killed while others with forced to leave violence has been spiraling in the region with kurds gathering volunteer fighters to stand against terrorists and in the same way from the kurdish democratic union party says the ultimate goal of islam is behind the attacks is to expel all the kurds from syria the most serious thing is the harveys group. the islamic state of iraq and syria there are more dangerous and more serious threats after the kurds have declared. expel all the characters from syria they started to ring and terrorizing the

civilian people pulling the people most of the you have to use your house and the way that we're going to expel you call all of you we allowed to take what ever we care and and what ever we wanted to do. codes in turkey gathered near the syrian border in solidarity with kurds in syria who are falling victims to jihad his attacks their protests ended in violence with police firing tear gas and stone throwing crowds at least one person is thought injured and twelve arrested. brand new asylum documents in hand and a say whistleblower edward snowden is now free to roam russia after receiving permission to stay last thursday well as location will be kept secret for security reasons his revelations of u.s. dragnet surveillance that continues to resonate around the world of an as well as a foreign minister told r.t. spanish channel that snowden's leaks only confirmed what his country suspected

while ago when a woman the we had always strongly suspected the u.s. was carrying out surveillance across the world america excuses its nuclear activities by saying it's based on legislation and congress gave its approval along with the supreme court of the government to simply put it into effect but there are a lot of ethical questions as to how this program is being implemented in regard to society in this case the rights of u.s. citizens are being abused and the sites we also see that the program involves other nations who are not obliged to abide by american laws this is what makes it all very serious. nearly three hundred people have been convicted of plotting to overthrow the turkish government the verdict in the five year long lens trial saw the head of the army lawyers like anti-mason journalist get long prison terms of some of them jailed for life and thousands joined in protest and against the verdict and clash with police slamming the trial as

a witch hunt international relations a professor mark ellman from big can do university says of the turkish government fears a military policy grab similar to what happened in egypt. on the one hand you have the charge that there's a deep state military intelligence the prime minister but the prime minister's supporters certainly seem to feel that there's a deep plot against them organized by security forces not just in the last few months we've seen this dramatic shift in the middle east which is why i think they feel particularly vulnerable they see the muslim brothers in egypt who they see very much as just a party. pushed out of power they feel that the americans and europeans are tolerated i think in the encroaching government circles in our party circle say fear that although this particular case got going some years ago now the threat for what very perceived as the secularist military alliance against them could have indorsement from our side. former u.s. servicemen are switching sides to join the bad guys online were important one more

are working for mexico's drug cartels and hit men adding trainers and the f.b.i. says they recruitment. and it's revealed that boston bombing suspect a madman other than i ever had been reading wife's releases literature before the attacks get the full story at r.t. dot com. now to some more news making the world headlines at this hour three people have been shot dead at a town hall meeting in print media in the united states an armed man blasted through the wall of a municipal building and opened fire witnesses say a local official then tackled the man before shooting him with his own gun police have confirmed the suspects arrest but have declined any further comments. yes the flooding has struck a northwestern chinese province down calls left residents trended and traffic at

a standstill escalators and relieve teams were called in to help with extensive damage a series of floods and landslides has forced mass evacuations for over a month now. pig to ridiculous and downright bizarre are some of the words used to describe footage from the desh board mounted cameras in a russian cars now the dash cams kedge everything from driving offenses tomatoes and they're wrecking up to hits on you tube arteries visit friends takes a look. if it wasn't for this we would never have seen this the eleven thousand ton meteor that impacted chelyabinsk in february the video was breathtaking the world asked when did russia become the authority on the so called dash cams george fetch macof says we have russian roads to think they're so bad that proving he isn't negligent in a crash can be tough without one two weeks ago i. was in the

traffic accident it wasn't my fault it was just a problem with the road. record for. me to say that it's not my fault it's not just the roads it's also scams like this one people throwing themselves at cars to collect injury money it's a known fact that while driving down the road in russia you never know what might sail past you it could be a boat a tank. a fighter jet. or even a passenger plane crashing into a highway it's never dull. and it's very often phalaris mostly because it's happening to someone else like this video really i don't like it why don't we deal with. it. yeah when the guy said oh ok.

people love russia nonchalance when faced with calamity all seriousness aside just think of all of the comedy missing from the internet rushing dash cams are made illegal because what makes it so uniquely russian isn't just what's happening on this side of the dashboard but the reaction inside the car but yet when we are very concerned with the sound oh i want to learn the russian word for holding. the. end. fact the russian reaction seemed so laid back its spawn parities on russian television according to automotive journalist alexander pickle nko these little cameras are now a part of the culture judging by the survey that we conducted of the forty million drivers in this country every ninth one thousand video recorded essentially then since the entertaining and sometimes embarrassing videos are a byproduct of the effort to patrol the roads dash cams may stay where they are

securely mounted to the dashboard and feeding them so if you find a dash cam video of yourself being laughed at on the news after an epic evening out you may just have to turn the other cheek because this points your collateral damage in moscow lindsey france our team. well i guess the desk cam story continues up next the billion dollar business that's visited by simple drinking water bottles life on ati. wow revolutions in the middle east sure get a great deal of coverage what you don't mix a lot of sense revolutions or exciting t.v.

peaceful protests or nice but footage of molotov cocktails flying and crazed crowds of local middle easterners really grab attention so there's a logical natural reason why some protest movements get a lot of coverage in the mainstream media well others kind of don't please forgive me for being conspiratorial but there is one revolution going down which does have all the exciting visuals of the arab spring but just doesn't get any of the mainstream coverage in fact unarmed people in this country recently stormed the parliament trapping ministers and lawmakers with that they held them down for eight hours demanding the government resign until police with shields smash their way through creating a narrow corridor through which the officials could escape now that sounds like exciting and visual news but why did you hear about it all over the mainstream press that's because it didn't happen in libya or egypt or any other exotic country but in good old boag area right in the e.u. where u.s. and e.u. interests are best served by the status quo being maintained there is no need to hype up an intervention or kinetic action in bulgaria the only time you ever hear

about the need for a crackdown in bulgaria is when a government there actually started working in bulgaria own interests and not the us use desires but that's just my opinion. i. the population of pakistan totals one hundred eighty million and it's still growing in the horn there are ten million people clean drinking water is in short supply. for nestle introduced pure lies bottled water was a rare sight in pakistan. now nestle dominates a vast market that it created itself i grew up in a city where you could go just like anyone else would also water and you would get a glass of water for free without any fear of its quality or it sounds and what's

happened over the last ten to fifteen years i mean in my own consciousness is that i have seen and witnessed a replacement of drinking water a commodification of drinking water. i would see that it's nestle that's done it it's been a confluence of factors nestle appeared on the scene it started providing your life drinking water and all of a sudden coca-cola shows up that's the shows out and then a whole bunch of private manufactured watersports shows up as well all producing clean water clean water because of the terribly old and creaky infrastructure of the sanitation authority and then before you know it everywhere you go if you ask for a glass of water i have to be fifteen rupees. this water is not drinkable we have to drink it as this is the only water available once we drink this water we get different stomach diseases. the water is too

dirty you have to boil it you filter it. out and then drink it. if you have a meal you have to rush to the toilet because the water can't be digested when you're out there long water worms inside there. moving inside we don't show this water to the children otherwise they won't drink it and everything will be a mess. this leap your life is the safe alternative delivered directly to. the service for the well to do. we film at the home distribution station in the upmarket area is gone but. i introduced myself to the station manager and asked for permission to film. what is a problem.
