3:01 am
it's eleven am here in the russian capital you live with us on our t.v. with me to mom would say it's good to have your company with us let's take a look at the news this hour. it's now all of us as prisoners began their hunger strike the u.s. military says the self-imposed starvation protest is a waning because inmates have been eating after dusk as is tradition in the holy month of ramadan a painful force feeding procedures and invasive body searches are still part of the data routine for many of the prisoners here's our washington correspondent in a church camp. every day in guantanamo it's groundhog day whether you're a guard or a prisoner that's how one officer described life and get mail every day is the same as the last and 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 aamer has been held for eleven years of good will
3:02 am
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 expression 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 shakur armor and other inmates call they get moma sarge they flipped me over for the surge mostly it's just an assault sometimes a sexual assault we call it the get my message they carry me like you second potatoes which is really painful for me. guantanamo officials actually responded to our inquiry about chuck ramos allegations by saying we don't comment on any detainee allegations made through their defense attorneys regardless of how
3:03 am
ridiculous and absurd the allegations might be by saying this quantum officials may be suggesting the truckers allegations are ridiculous and absurd could be but nonetheless more 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. their welfare and force feeding is not as bad as it sounds no matter what the un 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 it's of course a completely different story they report pain humiliation and despair that's their routine in washington i'm going to check them. went on a mobile is already 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
3:04 am
and the 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 a house at the prison means you have spares are picking up a tab of a million dollars every single day one time a bay is located in cuba or so the u.s. has to spend plenty of cash shipping food materials and flying in personnel now here's a total to have a breakdown for the year with a big share of the spending allocated to prison staff and security guards now another large chunk of taxpayers funding goes to maintaining the high security wall courts keeping the prison running meanwhile seems to serve as a recruitment tool for terrorists worldwide that's what the senior counterterrorism 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
3:05 am
continue to have a very powerful tool for recruitment in order to say to to young disaffected man throughout 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 in montana my own people around the world you know the president obama pledged to close guantanamo was in one year of taking office and that was four and a half years ago and there's no closure and by there's a very simple way to close it down and that's either prosecute people for hundreds the fission evidence of crimes in legitimate courts like the us federal courts and release the others that has always been the way to close guantanamo. the prisoners began refusing food because they being detained without charge and one more humane treatment the un's a special repertoire for torture trying to find out more about the conditions but he told us that the pentagon only offered him a very limited tour of the facility. unfortunately i was not allowed to visit.
3:06 am
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 reading from within me they claim that they can only give me the same terms that they give united states legislators for example or that they give giorno this or other visitors but i am desperately 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. president obama still has and close guantanamo bay despite the fact
3:07 am
that he promised that in his a first a campaign back in two thousand and eight now our chief political commentator sam sykes told of breaking the said why he things the prisons 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 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 detainees 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
3:08 am
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 that was just fear that's keeping it open. phantom zero is covered in breaking the set which is here at eleven thirty g.m.t. we've been monitoring the guantanamo hunger strike since it started at the beginning of february and we've chronicled it all for you on our website r.t. dot com as our one ton of our time life we got all the latest updates the plus for send prison accounts reaction and expert and alice is of what's going on at the notorious prison. right to see.

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 see this dramatic shift in the middle east which is why i think very few are particularly vulnerable very good 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. of the way it was servicemen are switching sides to join the bad guys online we report on how the war in more working for mexico's drug cartels is hit men and traders and the f.b.i. says the recruitment is set to increase. and does reveal that

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 adult 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 reside until police with shields smash their way through creating
