the force feeding of inmates and fresh claims of sexual abuse by guards groups guantanamo bay prison where a mass hunger strike has entered its seventh month. two years after violent riots swept across the bay britain's youth say they lack government support with one of five young people out of work. unlocking the tycoon once russia's richest man male hodder cos he could be freed in a year's time after the country's supreme court heard his prison term by two months . it is five am in moscow you're watching r t a marina joshing welcome to the program

how lawyers for a several inmates had one time obey for isn't who are on hunger strike have filed a fresh appeal for us john just to intervene and stop force feeding at the facility the painful practice slammed internationally as torture has continued throughout dramedy and was a mass hunger strike now at its seventh month meanwhile the un's chief robert her on torture has told r.t. is being denied full access to the detainees. unfortunately i was not allowed to visit. my 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 beatings within me they claim that they can only give me

the same terms that they give a united states and i just dados for example or that they give giorno this or other visitors but i am desperately united nations special reports 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. while the u.s. economy is stagnant hit in the face of widespread budget cuts money still flowing towards keeping the guantanamo bay facility open the chair of the u.s. senate's intelligence committee has already slammed its continued operation as a massive waste of money the pentagon estimates the total cost of the tour his prison will top five billion dollars by the end of next year keeping one hundred sixty six inmates housed there means u.s. taxpayers are paying out a tab of over

a million dollars every single day because the u.s. military facilities located in cuba the pentagon has to spend plenty of cash shipping food materials and flying in personnel while here is how the total tab breaks down for this year with a big share of the spanning be allocated to prison staff and security guards or former guantanamo detainee muslim bad believes the hunger strike will flare up with fresh force after the holy muslim month of ramadan and on wednesday. this isn't about. this is about a concept for justice but 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 clearly they've lasted 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 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 now some of the detainees maintain the u.s. military stepping up efforts to try and break the hunger strike the latest revelations point to the alleged sexual abuse of prisoners as you can now report. 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 aamer 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 pat down which 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 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 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 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 can always head to our web site for a full timeline of events at the natori is facility we've got all the latest updates of course 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 at r.t. dot com. right to see. first story. and i would think that you're. on our reporters were very. busy and.

now 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 with the government on the 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 was a recent figure standing at almost a million it means that one of five brits aged sixteen and twenty four are out of work and the number of those not studying is also on the rise according to the universities and colleges admissions service applications from english students are their lowest in four years of this as a jewish and fees triple in two thousand and twelve r.t. sara for us met a young brit who took part in the riots two years ago to find out if anything's changed. everyone.

i 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 for theft to charlie the impact of his actions have lost it far longer. than that but. you know what a lot. of things. how does it make you feel knowing your the. world it's big no one. i would never. tell these one of these he would have been dumped in the altima the rioting with the barrel also probably courtney met with many young people he got cool stuff in

the violence and her new book speaks to what she says is an isolating and stigmatising tight so i tell you sparrow you have to talk to deliberately because i knew it was the 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 unjust 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 we dream at the moment and the poor are kind of being and i think that you know that being left behind that was the 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 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. tributed 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 for on thursday many questions still remain a vivian suing violent some putting it down to mindless criminality others to deep rooted social problems that many feel guilt have not been dealt with and indeed youth unemployment in the cave remains that crisis levels i'm never going to join in because i was so drunk i mean good enough and good for me i didn't i'm going off and. still in the country close to one job so i'm still looking for work so i'm going off and i'm in the same sort of boat as i was performing a job apart from we've 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 you often 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 of course 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 people need right now to help preserve more you've crops and morphing 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 buses after all so i hope there's all this talk about this and there's no action seen on the heart of. i see london the m.p. for toll now we're rest was sparked in two thousand and eleven has accused the government of burying the report on the riots and more than a half of the panel's recommendations haven't been addressed at all in its final

response which was supposed to outline the efforts to tackle the causes of protest once former senior policy adviser on equality says westminster has learned no lessons from the end rest years ago the government is one of the most competent polk's world governments we've seen in british political history all the initiatives to tend to running to the side and being 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 exacerbate seed made more acute and there is a bigger group of people now affected so i think that the likelihood of a repetition of the kind of sees 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 catalysts of the two thousand and eleven

and the scope of u.s. snooping operations revealed by the fugitive whistleblower edward snowden are of no surprise to me as well and that's what the country's foreign minister allies how exclusive we told our spanish channel when the woman the case we had only strongly suspected that the u.s. was carrying out surveillance across the world it was an american excuses its nuclear activities by saying it's based on legislation and congress gave its approval among with the supreme court 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 besides we also see that the program involves other nations who are not obliged to abide by american laws if this is what makes it all very serious. look at some other stories from around the world iran's new president

ridiculous and downright bizarre those are the commons you'll most likely find under you tube clips from dashboard mounted cameras and russia they've been catching everything from driving offenses to me to yours and could now service top content for hours of comedy went to france takes a look at what's become the online hallmark of today's russia. if it wasn't for this we would never have seen this the eleven thousand ton meteor that impacted you have been 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. 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 rush hour 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 kaleri it's mostly because it's happening to someone else like a speedo. i don't like what they want to deal with. and. yeah when the guy said. ok. people love russian 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 playing here when they found oh i want to learn the russian word for holding. them. in. 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 cording to legal expert bruce lang 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 pill to pine legally but just begin with dash cameras issue after the city

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 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 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

us use desires but that's just my opinion. good afternoon and welcome to prime interest. i'm perry i'm boring and good let's get to today's headlines. h.s.b.c. has a fired at the pope one of the world's largest british banks was actually founded in hong kong and shanghai that's where the h.s. and h.s.b.c. come from but now they've decided to cancel the accounts that belong to forty consulates and embassies including that of the vatican now this has thrown the diplomatic arena into disarray as they were no forced to appoint another too big to fail bank in britain the questions as always are why why no remember that four to four point two billion dollars plan for the legit be facilitating money laundering to let drug drug cartels perhaps h.s.b.c.
