the force feeding of inmates and fresh claims of sexual abuse by guards groups pantano bay prison where a mass hunger strike is and are at its seventh month. two years after violent riots swept across the u.k. britain as you say they lack government support with one of five young people out of work. on walking the tycoon and once russia's richest man may how hot a coffee can be freed in a year's time after the country's supreme court cuts his prison term by two months .

this is r.t. coming to life from the russian capital i'm marina josh and welcome to the program whereas for several inmates a guantanamo bay prison who are on hunger strike have filed a fresh appeal for u.s. judges to intervene and stop force feeding the facility the painful practice slammed internationally a store tour has continued to rock remedy and with a mass hunger strike now in its seventh month meanwhile the un's chief proper terror on torture has told r.t. is being denied full access to the detainees. unfortunately i was not allowed to visit. my database 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 they could not. i have to do the job of meeting. with inmates they claim that they can

only give me the same terms that they give united states and i just dados for example or that they give giorno this or other visitors but i am despite the united nations special reports on torture and the terms of visits to the detention centers but i applied 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. now while the u.s. economy is taking a hit in the face of widespread budget cuts money still flowing towards keeping the going tom obey facility open the chair of the u.s. senate intelligence committee has already slammed its continued operation as a massive waste of money the pentagon estimates the total cost of a tour used presume will top five billion dollars by the end of next year keeping one hundred sixty six inmates a house there means u.s.

taxpayers are picking out a tab of over a million dollars every single day and because the u.s. military facility is located in cuba the pentagon has to spend plenty of cash on shipping food materials and flying in personnel or here's how the total tab breaks down for this year with a big share of the spending being allocated to prison staff and security. now some of the detainees maintain the u.s. military is stepping up efforts to try and break the hunger strike the latest revelations point to the alleged sexual abuse of prisoners as are just going to check on their reports. 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 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 never charged with any crime trucker's 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 teen 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 chucker armor and other inmates call the good moments song they flip 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 a second 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. their welfare 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. well we've been closely tracking the going tom of

a hunger strike since it began in february and you can always had to our website for a full timeline of events at the tour u.s. facility we've got all the latest updates including first hand accounts from detainees and their lawyers plus statements from u.s. officials and reaction from observers it's all just a click away. it's been two years since a wave of riots and looting swept across the u.k. with fear is rising that conditions are ripe for a repeat of the violence where the government on a stary drive thousands of young people have fallen into long term joblessness and the seeds were sown long before the end rest in two thousand and eleven as youth unemployment has been rising steadily since two thousand and two with a recent figure standing at almost a million it means that one in five brits aged sixteen to twenty four are out of work and the number of those not study is also on the rise according to the universities and colleges admissions service applications for english students are

at their lowest in four years this as the tuition fees tripled in two thousand and twelve artists are first met a young brit who took part in the rise two years ago to find out if anything's changed. there are more than are what they wanted to warm up on the police bus when it was a meet charlie at his council house it's been almost two years since his arrest and imprisonment as a result of his participation in the london riots he received a six month sentence but that the child of the impact of his actions have lost it. would work for. you know what about. those things. because it made you feel knowing you were both in.

it's big. i would never. kill these one of those who would have been dumped in the aftermath of the rioting with the turn barrel you also play courtney met with many young people who got caught up in the violence and her new book seeks to debunk what she says is an isolating and stigmatising title i. deliberately because i knew it was a phrase that gets used by politicians and 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 inaccurate almost. behind the riots were complex but the basic economics play a key part of the rich poor divide is so extreme at the moment and 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 problems of going away they haven't gone away then we're going to see more more trouble 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 of tottenham and 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 problem that many feel will have not been dealt with indeed youth unemployment in the u.k. remains that crisis levels are never going to join in because. i think. i didn't. so i'm going off and i'm in the same sort of boat as i was before i went into

a poll 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. a sort of. listen to us more because we live in the last basically in the slums we haven't got enough and so they need to sort of listen to us and let us just put across and maybe what we need of what we want not necessarily what we want but what we need and what might help us if they become is in front of you right now what would you say to him that you think young people need right now to hope well he's had more you've clubs and more for you subdued maybe more funding to do things he says he's going to do this and that i hope people. when hope going to be given us is after all so i hope you know there's all this talk about this and there's no . semen on the heart of the surf i see

london and the m.p. for toll now i'm aware of the rest was sparked in two thousand and eleven has accused the government of burying the report on the riots more than half of the panel's recommendations there haven't been addressed at all and its final response which was supposed to outline the efforts to tackle the causes of protests one of the former senior policy adviser on equality says westminster has learned no weston's from the unrest two years ago. the government is one of the most incompetent polk's wall governments we've ceding british political history. tends to run into the sound ending glorious ineffective fadia i don't think the needs of the community all the conditions that give rise to the two thousand two thousand and eleven. disturbances have been simply exacerbated made more acute and there is a bigger group of people now affected so i think the likelihood of

a repetition of the kind of seeds we saw two thousand and eleven is it is almost inevitable given the government's role to failure to respond to the needs and issues to what they call zs and catalyst all but the two thousand and eleven disturbances. coming up for you with god cars making stars videos from vehicles in russia get scores of hits online as dashboard cameras capture some of the most bizarre and hilarious highway escapades we explore how the country's become the world authority on this so-called dash cam shortly here in r.t.e. . wealthy british style. time to write for.

welcome back you're watching r.t. and let's go to our top story now the mass hunger strike. antonymous which has angered its seventh month we can now talk about this and get some reaction from the u.k. from was a bag who was held at guantanamo bay and released without charge mr begg thank you so much for joining us here in r.t. to discuss this well as we know during the month of ramadan and some of the hunger strikers dropped out of their hunger strike do you see this as a temporary measure or is this a sign that the protests is nearing its sand. no it's most definitely a temporary measure it's one that of course people going to be fasting during the day anyway from sunrise to sunset and as a respect i mean this is iraq iraq ironic but the americans are not force feeding

people during the day they're doing it now during the night when the people are not fasting but the of course that's only for the people that are hunger striking and the hunger strike will i believe recommence as soon as ramadan is over because this isn't about. this is about a concept for justice that these people have been fighting for which they have no choice but to hunger strike to the point which they're ready i believe to even die while the plight of hunger strikers has caught the attention all over the world from human our right our kids and a journalist there but the u.s. military continues to force feed the inmates why are they not listening to the world community is criticizing this measure well it's it's really sad because it looks like they're not even listening to obama because obama reiterated earlier this year that he wants to close guantanamo because of the height of the hunger strikes and he responded to that again saying i want to close guantanamo he keeps

getting blocked by congress but really this is bigger than simply obama saying something he has to follow through there are several countries where the individuals can and should be returned to most of them in fact the overwhelming majority of them know being charged they're not going to be designated for trial by military commission or anything else they should be returned home if they had been convicted they would have served now the equivalent almost of a twenty five year sentence a life sentence and so the answer is that there's simply not enough will in the united states of america not in the amongst the american people sadly and certainly not among american politicians to do the right thing which is to release these men return them back home and let them live the rest of their lives with their families like the most like like all of us have like the former guantanamo prisoners the six hundred of us who've returned to. try to build up normal lives. well the hunger strike has been going on for six months now and judging from your experience of being there you know the conditions of their captain how long can indeed individual

actually last in such conditions. well clearly they've lost it for twelve years almost there are nine people who didn't last nine people have died in one tunnel. and you know there are several people who have literally lost their mental faculties amongst the methods used against them the recent ones now is that these people are being sexually abused which is a shocker arm of the british resident who still held the he says now that he's being actually six abused especially when he's getting legal visits so every time his lawyer comes he is. strip searched he is violated he has the cavity search performed on him and then when his lawyer leaves and he's taken back to his cell the same thing happened so this dissuades a lot of the prisoners to even want to see their lawyers and of course this is a situation that would be intolerable absolutely anywhere else in the world but.

it's ok because. the rule of law simply doesn't apply and this is what continues to be. you know the darkest blackest page for the history of the united states in modern times and i think obama recognizes this but i think everybody else around him and particularly congress keep putting these blocks on and make america in a position that is completely untenable and guantanamo continues to exist do you hold anyone personally for what you had to go through and for what the others are going through now. well absolutely look last year i was at this war crimes tribunal that was set up in malaysia where prominent u.s. law enforcement a lot more makers and prominent makers from around the world came together and put charges against president bush donald rumsfeld dick cheney. and several of those who were part of the bush administration who had ordered. all that other great who

had ordered torture who it's redefined the concept of torture as something that was organ failure or death otherwise it's not torture so all of these people were found guilty in that tribe human in malaysia so if any of these people were to go to malaysia they would be arrested under a war crimes warrants however the rest of the world hasn't followed suit where it should have and it doesn't matter whether it's an individual or it's a state and if the state conducts crimes that it should be held accountable and the accountability process is something that obama has said before he came into power that the cia operatives who tortured individuals who were later sent to guantanamo will not be arrested or charged they will simply want to turn the page over and not torture in future but the people who did the torture will get away scot free all right and that was muslim bad joining us live from birmingham and muslim bag-o. was held at guantanamo bay and released no charge thank you so much for talking to us here in r.t.

. russia's jailed former oil tycoon the hotter kosky could get out of prison sooner than expected and that after the country's super in court partially upheld an appeal by his lawyers all the details now from artie's medina has been following the proceedings. russia's supreme court has reduced by two months the prison terms for that of course he and his business partner plucked only because of the rule of the court was to rule whether their second conviction for money laundering and the basle men should be a left it now the defense team often called had a cough he demanded their leave saying that they were convicted on charges that were in valid right from the start and while leaving the court building the lawyer said that they would appeal this decision now because that post he was not present at this court hearing useful boy video link from the prison colony and he was due to be released in the cobra two thousand and fourteen but now he will walk free

a year from now and he is business partner just several months earlier in may two thousand and fourteen and also earlier this month the european court off human rights which has criticised the trials are held against both businessman for a number of times now still reject their claims that there are cases where politically mots of ages. was a rest of back in two thousand and three two years later he was convicted tax evasion and while still serving his sentence he was convicted down for the second time and last year the courts reduce his sentence to eleven years. for you question over there and hotter kosky as multi-million dollar embezzlement trial sparked debate about how tough russian laws that tackle konami crime really are and earlier i talked to business presenter katie pilbeam and she explained the recent trend to relax legislation and what effect it could have on the investment climate . the business community to get

a positive it was seen as reducing red tape making russia more transparent a more friendly place to come and want to do business on the almost one for entrepreneurs boris toss off he said at the time it's quite full morale is great for the ethics in that it would lead us into a more prosperity more development so it's seen as modernizing russia in a business platform and certainly a great sign for investors you know because i have been cautious when it comes to russia so if i get good it's going well as well i would say the g. twenty coming up in exactly a month's time now we know that russia is going to take cases self investment opportunities and he economy is still winning at the moment so i would say it's clever timing as well for a much say now more stories for you to check out at or to dot com including in free dataflow we trust our activists are kicking off a campaign to register their own church to make copying and sharing files on why the sacred right plots. by recycling electronic waste

properly you can get hold of precious metals even gold but instead of turning it healthy profit british firms are flooding developing countries with millions of tons of outdated old tronics tell you why online. apic ridiculous and downright bizarre and those are the comments you'll most likely find under you tube clips from dashboard mounted cameras in russia they've been catching everything from driving offenses to meteorites and could now service top content for hours of comedy well into france takes a look at what's become a young line hallmark of today's russia. 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 cam 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. didn't 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 hilarious mostly because it's happening to someone else like this. i don't like why they're on the radio.

and. 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 oppression 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 playing here and with the sound up i want to learn the russian word for holding. that. in. fact the russian reaction seemed so laid back it's beyond parodies 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 has a video recorder cording to legal experts were slang cannot have it any lawmaker wants to pass legislation preventing provocative video from being posted online whether for privacy or decency he is going to have a tough hill to climb legally but just to get caught with dash cameras issue of privacy is irrelevant because they document events in public areas 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. now after the break it's over to max kaiser for some hard talk on money matters d.c. .

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 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 was 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 usa use desires but the ashes my opinion. welcome to the kaiser report i-max kaiser is george osborne the straw man of treasury secretaries according to wikipedia straw purchases any purchase where in

the agent the straw person agrees to acquire a good or service like a mortgage for someone who is unable or unwilling to purchase the good or service himself and the agent transfers the goods and services to that person after purchasing them. the mind boggles let's get stacy herbert in error to discuss this yes max today this morning across the world i've been noticing that this scam that happened in the us towards the end of the housing market bubble which was a famous case in arizona where this guy had a development he wanted to sell and flip all these condos so he got some straw persons to buy the properties and start bidding wars as if there were some huge demand for their property so with this in mind i would look at this headline no rush to sell lloyd's shares as bank returns to profit u.k. taxpayer now is thirty nine percent of lloyds max and the shares are booming shares left as it was announced it made.
