tonight the force feeding of did make some fresh claims of sexual abuse by guards grip school in thailand where bay prison where a mass hunger strikes ended its seventh month. before its of yet another massacre emerge in syria were up to four hundred fifty kurdish civilians said to have been killed by al-qaeda linked rebels. and as a rand is new president hassan rouhani says he's open to talks on the country's nuclear program we ask how willing is washington to play ball. even live from moscow start international have been our eyes to the company lawyers

for several it makes a grant telling the bay prison who are on hunger strike a filed a fresh appeal for u.s. judges now to intervene and stop force feeding at the facility the painful practice slump internationally is torches continued throughout ramadan with the mass hunger strike now into its seventh month meanwhile the un's chief reporter on torture has told r.t. he's now being denied full access to the detainees. unfortunately i was not allowed to visit went on i will be at least not in the terms that i have to apply under the rules that i am subject to did get invited by the pentagon but on conditions that i couldn't accept because the conditions was that i would see only the parts of the prison that they wanted to show me and specifically that they 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 journalists or other visitors but i am disputing 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. because put in perspective as well while the u.s. economy is taking a hit in the face of widespread budget cuts many still flowing towards keeping going tandem obey opened the chair of the u.s. senate's intelligence committees already slammed its continued operation is quote massive waste of money the pentagon estimates the total cost of the tories prison will top five billion dollars by the end of next year keeping indeed one hundred sixty six inmates housed there means u.s. taxpayers a picking up a tab of over a million dollars every single day because the u.s.

military facilities located in cuba there's little just sticks as well the pentagon has to spend plenty of cash shipping food materials and flying in a person now this is how it all breaks down is take a look with a big share of the spending being allocated to prison staff and security as you can see there u.s. motor attorney barry wing guard who represents two of the detainees there told me the hunger strike could resume he worried in full force when the holy month of ramadan ends on wednesday. i was in guantanamo bay last week and in that sense of desperation that's going on in guantanamo bay has an abated in any way shape or form i find it kind of odd that we score how one ton of obey is doing by the number of prisoners willing to starve themselves to death let us first look at the fact that only twenty men of the hundred sixty six that remain will ever be charged with a crime according to the united states government the sense of desperation is overwhelming as far as ramadan goes the men were given a choice in that choice was you can spend your religious holiday by yourself

without any of your personal effects or hygiene items such as soap in water or in towels and things of that nature or you can break the hunger strike and spend it in a communal setting with the rest of your brothers the way ramadan is supposed to be spent so i think after ramadan you may see a resumption of the hunger strike. 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 a he's going to come reports. 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

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 sucker armor and other inmates call the good moments sarge they flip me over for the surge mostly it's just an assault sometimes a sexual assault we call it to 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 quantum officials may be suggesting that truckers allegations are ridiculous and absurd could be but nonetheless ignore 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 are 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 out. we've been closely tracking the growing tide of a hunger strike because you know what year since it began in february you can always head to our website if you want a reminder of what's going on with

a full timeline of events the tories facility because all the latest updates including first hand accounts from detainees of the lawyers and statements from yours officials and plenty of other reaction as well from observers just click away r.t. dot com. yet another shocking massacre by al-qaeda linked rebel groups has been reported in syria it's believed government of villages in a kurdish dominated region in the country's north killing maybe of to four hundred fifty civilians so far neither of the government nor the rebels have confirmed that report ortiz or nicholas could tells you what we know. four hundred fifty people are said to be killed by a nose or front at least hundred twenty of them are said to be children the rest are elderly and women but at this point we cannot get any confirmed reports that these indeed are true reports the situation in the northeastern part of syria is a battleground it is a bitter one that 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 to bush and he said he described the situation of what happened in the village where his relatives live. another room surrounded the 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 and my cousin she was at home so they took the women and children and. 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 and the reason for such a bitter standoff between the kurds and these armed extremist groups is is because the kurds essentially have been really good pushing out the extremists from this region that a lot of those in the opposition are saying that they are by have to show their appreciation to the president also by the kurds and says that they're simply trying

to clear their this land which they have been historically living in for ages they're trying to clear and. present extremist groups particularly off the al qaida and considering the fact that al qaeda has already expressed that they are thinking obviously their own state in this very part of the region you have to understand why the kurds are so bitterly involved in this fight roams to president hassan rouhani says iran could hold direct talks with the u.s. about its nuclear program but only if the country's rights are not infringed. as the president of this country i announce that these slummy republic of iran has serious political will to resolve this nuclear issue while preserving the rights of the reigning nation at the same time we will consider removing the concerns of the other side we hope that the other side has the same political will if this is indeed the case then the desired result will be achieved not in the long run but in

fact in the short term. president rwandese forming a cabinet now and has already appointed a problem before he says his deputy president was elected on a platform of promising dialogue with the west hoping to win the country's isolation but just days before his inauguration u.s. lawmakers approved a new round of tough sanctions on tehran middle east analyst matthew or koski says the american establishment unlikely to fall for the charms of iran's new man at the helm being in the house not yet heard about the choice of nuclear negotiator on the part of fear our president hassan rouhani still to. name all the negotiator that will be obviously a very good sign if that person is someone the u.s. is willing to negotiate with a bit further how much the obama administration can do with the senate and the house being constrained by the constraining part in the u.s.

administration we now know obviously that the u.s. senate and the house are going to willing to impose new sanctions on iran that is not quite something obama would want to see of the moment so it is rather a question of how much independency can the obama administration have. these visa v the house and senate. it's been two years since a wave of riots and looting swept across the united kingdom with fears rising the conditions are ripe for a repeat of violence maybe too with a government son and a sturdy drive thousands of young people to fall into long term joblessness in the seeds was so long before this unrest in twenty eleven is youth unemployment in fact 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 between sixteen and twenty four are out of work but the number of those not studying is not on the rise either according to universities and colleges admissions service applications from english

students are at their lowest for four years so they're not in colleges and schools either this is the cherishing fees tripled in twenty twelve r.t. sara firth met a young brit who took part in the riots two years ago to find out if anything to change. everyone. wanted to. know 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 lasted far longer you. would think that. you know where. this thing. has an.

interview about it's a big no one. i would never. tell these one of these he would have been dumped in the aftermath of 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 debunk 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 the phrase i had

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 these 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 because they wait but on thursday many questions still remain over the ensuing violence some putting it down to mindless criminality other to deep rooted social problems that many feel will 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 think that nothing good for me i didn't i'm. still in a constant place two hundred troops are still looking for work so i'm going off on

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 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. of course and maybe what we need or what we want not necessarily what we want but 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 i hope people. are 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 whole of man so i see london. coming up on the program unlocking the tycoon once russia's richest man could be freed it is time now the country's supreme court says prison time but two months i'm kind of no more on that story than the global two but after this quick break open stay with me. wealthy british. markets. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's concert for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines kinds are reports.

of. russia's jailed for oil tycoon mikhail khodorkovsky could get out of prison a bit sooner than expected that south of the country's supreme court partially upheld an appeal by his lawyer as well the details now from. russia's supreme court

has reduced by two months the prison terms for jail to me. and his business partner plucked only because of now the rule of the court was to rule whether their second conviction for money laundering and basle men should be a left it now the defense team often called had a coffee demanded their leave thing that they were convicted on charges that were invalid right from the start and while leaving the court building the lawyer said that they would appeal this decision now because of a post he was not present at this court hearing he spoke 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 has 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 soft 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. but it will get a crush of told me he believes failing to see the public perception of his case has changed. when we talk about dark or ski there's always a sort of a you know a feeling that we're talking about the political prisoner rather than a businessman call broke the law and i think that is important to be understood in this case that this is a criminal case mr could of course he himself is in denial because he still believes that he can spin this game you know use this victim card in the sense that he's a political prisoner and i think that he created quite a powerful machine a p.r. machine for himself at the time and he also thought that maybe certain politicians

at the time you know members of the duma who whom they he befriended he thought that he was probably indestructible we don't know about the situation general about this case you know it's just like russian and they're all basically like within their own it's continuous took some folks have come up but i think generally that if he comes out next year i think his best bet would be to go away. and cut across his multibillion dollar embezzlement trial sparked debate about how tough russian laws that tackle economic crime actually are joshie took to ati's business present to katie pilgrim she explained the recent trend to relax legislation and what effect to good have on the investment climate. the business community to get as a positive it was seen as reducing bad tape making russia a more transparent and more friendly place to come and want to do business and the ombudsman for entrepreneurs boris thought of he said at the time it's great for

morale is great for the ethics in that it would lead us into more prosperity more development so it's seen as modernizing muster 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 a good time well as well i would say this about the g. twenty coming up in exactly a month's time now we know that russia is going to say cases sell further investment opportunities in the economy is still welling up at the moment so i say it's clever timing as well for a much there was always for the check on our website or to dot com including in free dataflow we trust russian activists and kicking off a campaign to register their own sure should attempt to try to make copying and sharing files online a sacred right r.t. dot com fun read up all by recycling electronic waste no irony here you can if you do it properly get a hold of precious metals even gold but instead it seems turning a healthy profit british firms are flooding developing countries of millions of

tons of data the tropics electronics begs the question why. r.t. dot com. the doors at u.s. embassies and some consulates across nineteen countries of the middle east and africa will remain shut for another few days they have suspended work because of what's been described by some lawmakers in washington as the biggest terrorist threat since nine eleven reports have suggested an intercepted phone message between senior al qaeda operatives could have raised the alarm however no specific details of the threat of surface r.t. contributor afshin return to things washington's been using the alert for motives other than protecting americans. this is enough to rush off a temporary asylum to edward snowden along came a terror threat based on presumably national security agency u.s. national security agency bugging of a phone call between al-qaeda leaders our here and the al qaeda in yemen leader. after all what better time to explain to the american people that edward snowden

must be a traitor because what the n.s.a. is doing is monitoring phone calls to protect us personnel the media in the united states and across europe so quick to report exactly what the u.s. state department announced without question it is merely this is the what the united states say it must be true regardless of the fact that come so soon after edward snowden got asylum in russia was also remember what must minimize the threat of terrorism against u.s. installations because it was president obama has been a great recruitment sergeant for al qaeda whether it be the drone strikes and of course the continued support for syrian al-qaeda in syria. right change of pace and. epic ridiculous downright bizarre even there the most likely find under you chew clips from those dashboard mounted cameras all over the place here in russia they've been catching everything from driving offenses to

meteors you can forget that picture they could service top content for hours a comedy obviously different takes a look at what's become the online hallmarks 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 thank there 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 you know. i don't like what they want to deal with. 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 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 free to get on with the sound oh i want to learn the russian word for holding.

the. 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 recorder cording to legal experts who are slang cannot have if 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 you can almost bet 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. the ladies who win the fight to. come in your way after this quick break might cause a ruffles the feathers again of the richest one percent there is no escape i'll be back with more news just over to see 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 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 that's just my opinion.

welcome to the kaiser report i-max kaiser is george osborne the straw man of treasury secretaries according to wikipedia a straw purchase is 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 themself 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.
