tonight the force feeding of inmates and fresh claims of sexual abuse by guards grips time obey prison where a mass hunger strikes and its seventh month now. two years after violent riots swept across the u.k. britain as you say they lack government support with one in five people now out of work. and unlocking the tycoon wants riches the richest man in russia mikhail khodorkovsky could be freed in a year's time after the country's supreme court says prison by two months. we're going to interview stone is darcy come to life kevin only this first lawyers for several inmates a growing time of a prison who are on hunger strike and followed

a fresh appeal for us judges to intervene and stop force feeding at the facility the painful practice internationally is torture as continued throughout ramadan with the mass hunger strike now into its seventh month meanwhile the un's chief reporter on torches told r.t. he's 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. the parts of the prison that they wanted to show me and specifically that they could not have individual meetings with 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 jordan

a list or other visitors. despite the united nations special rapporteur on torture and the terms of visits to detention centers but they 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. or while the u.s. economy is taking a hit in the face of widespread budget cuts money still flowing towards keep immigrant talent would be a facility open the chair of the u.s. senate intelligence committees already started its continued operation is quote massive waste of money the pentagon estimates the total cost of the notorious prison will top five billion dollars by the end of next year keeping hundred sixty six inmates housed there means u.s. taxpayers are picking up a tab of over a billion dollars every single day and because the u.s. military facilities located in cuba the pentagon also cause us to spend money on shipping food over their materials and flying in personnel as well here's how the

total tab breaks down for this year the with a big share of the spending being allocated to prison staff and security guards let's get some reaction from the u.s. based social studies director alan singer is joining us on the line now hi allan looking at the figures here it seems over the past month at least the number of hunger strikes gone down from one hundred to fifty seven what accounts for this change do you think that's good news no. well it's not good news if you'd like to close guantanamo look people are do tremendous stress this is not easy circumstances hunger strikes are hard to maintain i suspect we're going to look at repeated protests repeated efforts to get out of guantanamo so you know people will try different strategies this is only a temporary hiatus but there are some prisons of course facing charges that sufficiently harsh back in their own various home countries they could even face

the death penalty so the counter-argument here is surely despite everything that's bad about guantanamo the better off there again no or yes this is the thing one of the prisoners is being highlighted recently shake out a mirror he's been held at guantanamo without charge or trial for alleged and years and he has been approved for transfer and the british government has repeatedly calling us a central car there evidently the obama administration would rather send up for incarceration in a different country without laws and legal system so changes could be made there are more humane circumstances people could have trials but the obama administration seems to be resisting all possibilities what he has said again that he wants to close that he has now employed a new envoy every time to cut a type of congress but this is the thing congress is part obama through transparent detainee however obama is commander in chief for the united states armed forces and this is a military president he could use his powers commander in chief to make an executive

decision and close it now obama has a very limited view of the presidency and is crippled this presidency yes let him hostage and the nation hostage to a rabid white majority that controls the house of representatives but this is obama's choice it's obama's there's zeshan he could expand his concept of the power of the presidency he can't act as commander in chief for the united states he refuses to do so he's trapped in his own interpretation and to think anyone's ever going to be brought to account over this force feeding of inmates has been slammed worldwide as torture is anything to be brought to book or no. i don't know you know what we have is people in power make their own decisions people in power are never applied to trial you know germans and japanese were brought to trial after world war two but the united states has never been held accountable for the bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki jitters are really called to account and the world that we

living in a course of final thought even if guantanamo does close eventually if when there are other facilities like it so it's going to make any big difference anyway look it because you know if one time a will be somebody like it'll be a symbol of international pressure on the united states forcing united states slip up international law i mean the united states is just violating principle of their principle the latest suspend the forced pack down of generals and boxes need to expose person claims as a circus or to locate contraband i pads or medication you know i have my little i.p.a.d. air and i have my i pad headset and i'm wondering how the inmates are hiding these behind your penis isn't in there but cracks it makes no sense it also begs the question why a inmate can have an i pod so you know right states is just systematically violated

its own procedures a federal district judge called this a file way an appalling violation of human rights and the obama administration got a stager permit this out stick that's been doing basically a good thing but yet we got to leave it there thanks for making the point so clearly out of alan cigna the social studies director on the line from new york state thanks sir thank you very much house university. some of the detainees who maintain the u.s. his military is stepping up efforts to try and break the hunger strike the latest revelations point to the alleged sexual abuse of prisoners got a huge account of his that side of it. 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 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 he's 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 selve 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 shakur armor and other inmates call the good moments sarge they flip me over for the search mostly it's just an assault sometimes a sexual assault we call it to get my message they carry me like you second for teachers which is really painful for me. one time of the child 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 truckers allegations are ridiculous and absurd could be but nonetheless get 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 here 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 they do. don't resist of course they strap 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 on well we've been closely tracking the growing time of

a hunger strike since it began in february as you'll know if you watch this regularly couldn't always head to our website for a full timeline of events at the new tourist facility r.t. dot com we've also got latest updates there too including first hand accounts from detainees and their lawyers a statement as well from u.s. officials that we have plenty of it for observers all just a click away party dot com. just the two years now since that wave of riots and looting swept across the u.k. with fears rising the conditions are right maybe for a repeat of the same kind of violence with a government on the austerity drive these days thousands of young people who fall into long term joblessness the seeds for so long before that arrest in two thousand and eleven as youth unemployment been rising steadily since two thousand and two is take a look with the recent figures starting at almost a million it means therefore that one in five brits aged between sixteen and twenty four are now out of work and the number of those studying is not is also on the

rise as well apparently according to universities and colleges admissions service applications from english students are at their lowest in four years this is the two issue fees tripled in two thousand and twelve the sort of first met one young brit who took part in the riots two years ago to find it if anything has changed. i wanted to. ask what it was i mean 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 but to charlie the impact of his actions have lost it far longer you. would think that. you know where. those things. doesn't make it. through.

world often we do know about its big one. i would never. kill these one of those who would have been dumped in the altima the rioting with the barrel you also probably courtney met with many young people he got caught up in the violence and her new book seeks to bunk what she says is an isolating and stigmatising tight so i had to talk 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 freeman the moment and the poor are kind of

being 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 have gone away they haven't gone away then we're going to see more more trouble until the things start to get results on the spot it starts at the right it's 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 over the ensuing violence some putting it down to mindless criminality others to deep rooted social problem that many feel they will have not been dealt with if indeed youth unemployment in the cave remains that crisis levels are never going to join in it's because i was so drunk i think that nothing good for me i didn't wasn't going off i'm. still in

a constant 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 before going into. 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 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. 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 more maybe more funding to do things he says that he's going to do this and that to help people. when the winds are going to be given. whens i hope there's all this talk about this there's no actual.

semen on the heart of. the london one of the snapshot there of life for the young briton the course the preamble to the report what we should have said is people studying is not on the rise as you like i got it from the reporters well let me start with this morning national news coming up shortly it's now twenty sixteen moscow time. wealthy british. time to time. the market. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines kaiser reports.

interview. russia's jailed for mikhail khodorkovsky could get out of prison sooner than expected that's the country's supreme court posh we have held an appeal by his

lawyer as well the details about this some. of the she's been following the proceedings. russia's supreme court has reduced by two months the prison terms for me how high that of course he and his business partner don't leave now the rule of the court was to rule whether they are a second conviction for money laundering and embezzle and should be a left it now the defense team often called had a cough he demanded their release saying that they were convicted on charges that were invalid right from the start and while leaving the court building the lawyers said that they would appeal this decision now because of a 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 october 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 their cases were politically mots of age it. 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 to the second time and last year the poor to reduce his sentence to eleven years. russia's foreign minister says so do love rolf says the gruesome situation in syria's north to foster way to the plan geneva two peace talks the top diplomat there referring to reports new reports in of a new bloody massacre by the old nusra front of maybe up to four hundred fifty could be civilians but he's going to joins us now live disturbing details coming through a reno we still need to get a handle on this but what do we know so far. absolutely well at this

point we know that this reports have surfaced very recently four hundred fifty people are said to be killed by news or front at least hundred twenty of them are said to be children the rest are elderly and women but again at this point we cannot get any confirmed reports that these indeed are true reports of course this doesn't mean that the situation in the northeastern part of syria where a majority of kurds that populate the country live is not a battleground it is a better one is a matter of fact we don't get we do we have three boards that murders of kurds are happening for example we have heard from one of the men that we have spoken to his name is yes seemed out of bush and he said he described the situation of what happened in the village where his relatives live. or militants and other rebel force surrounded they started going from door to door in every house if there were any men. and took women and children hostage the rebels came into the house of my cousin she was at home so they murdered him took the women and and children.

at the same time there are also reports that at least two hundred people have been taken hostage again from kurdish villages and again this was a job done by al qaeda affiliated groups which are operating in north syria we do know that the reason for this such as such a bitter standoff between the kurds and the these armed extremist groups is is because the kurds essentially have been really good at pushing out the extremists from this region they have been a lot of people are a lot of those in the opposition are saying the kurds there by have to show their police and the president also by kurds and says that there is simply trying to clear their this land which they have been historically living for ages they're trying to clear it off the presence of extremist groups particularly off the. considering the fact that al qaeda has already expressed that they are rethinking their own state in this very part of the region you have to understand why the

kurds are so bitterly involved in this fighting there was a report that one of the kurdish leaders has been killed in a car bombing which was staged allegedly by. militants as well and kurdish militia leaders have called on all kurds to come and join forces in fighting extremists in north korea and we also have heard from current in iran who have expressed their full readiness and desire to do so so this is definitely a situation and the region to keep an eye out for because you would think that the battling in syria couldn't get any worse well we have spoken to some people who say it actually could censor renders the details coming through as they were on top of it will bring our viewers more as we get it for the update. we bring in some other headlines now we're making news tonight. president hassan rouhani says iran could hold direct talks with the u.s. on its nuclear program but only if the country's rights won't be infringed the president fully a cabinet has already appointed a problem reformist as his deputy brawny was elected on

a platform promising dialogue with the west hoping that when the country's isolation he says his number one priority is to lose. in the grip of sanctions which dealt a severe blow to iran's trade medicine and banking sector. the afghan taliban doesn't plan to take part in next year's presidential elections and will wage war until foreign troops leave the country that comes from a statement from the movement's elusive leader. it follows last week's deadly clashes between taliban militants and security forces that left over one hundred people dead more also claims that the taliban will try to reach an understanding with all factions in afghanistan if it comes to power after nato troops withdraw next year. none of them. on a totally lighter note their pick ridiculous downright bizarre there's some of the comments the most likely find on the you tube clips from dashboard mounted cameras those dash cams in russia have been catching everything from driving offenses to meteors and now could serve as top content for hours of comedy lindsay friends

takes a look at what's become the online hall mark of today's russia. if it wasn't for this we would never have seen this the eleven thousand ton meteor that impacted 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. 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 hilarious mostly because it's happening to someone else like this video really i don't like why i fell in the video with. 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 of russian 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.

the. end. fact the russian reaction seemed so laid back its bond 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 fool to million drivers in this country every ninth one has a video recorder cording to legal experts who are 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 again almost caught with dash cameras the issue of privacy is irrelevant because the document events and 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 at this point your collateral damage in moscow lindsey france our team. russians come anyway much

cuz it does ruffle some feathers of more of the richest one percent because report on air after this quick break. 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 are nice but footage of moloch tough 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 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 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 was 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.
