many questions but no one says. i'm going to get some information that. the e.u. delegation looking into us spying in europe comes away empty handed well i mean tunnel review into america carries on. it is laughable it is just about as laughable as wall street banks regulating themselves. they are human beings after all there's no reason to expect that they enjoy being here as torture accusations keep piling up on guantanamo bay prison officials inside the camp try to convince our crew that. some of them actually enjoy being. with us for the story. secret deal to water down regulation behind the back of brussels.

giants. from the news team good morning and welcome to today's program live from moscow with me. here in the capital why do you spy an e.u. delegation is met america's intelligence officials face to face to hear their explanations how the u.s. national security agency was apparently topping the phone calls of tens of millions of europeans but intercepting the communications of world leaders as well but the missions members were clearly disappointed by the response they got. reports from washington. the e.u. delegation came to get answers from the n.s.a.

and they got nothing keith alexander told members of the e.u. delegation that they are not spying on european citizens on a massive scale obviously there is no way of checking it i caught up with some members of that delegation who said this is going to give some figure some information. don't clarify. the situation this is. just a failed we are allies the masters of violence cannot be based on the question against the terrorists and of course not to. have information about telephone or fungal or medical it cannot be justified in the fight against terrorism here to the figures we have seen the europeans have helped him to collect information about other regions of afghanistan yemen and so on not overall. figures. in terms in german need to give in to the french if you german troops there would have done them. yet so keep alexander told them whatever intelligence european

agencies are sharing with the n.s.a. is from war zones again no way of checking any of that so just a symbolic gesture on the part of the e.u. delegation to ask those questions well they definitely need to show european citizens that their representatives are not completely new and so they came to washington expressed a reserved indignation quite reserved and agreed to cooperate further we've seen it before and in the meantime a special intelligence committee launched a review into the u.s. surveillance activities overseas and may even try to restrict them although this is something the n.s.a. chief is trying hard to prevent from listen it is much more important for this country that we defend this nation and take the beatings. it is to give up a program that would result in this nation being attacked attitude here showing there's little chance the u.s. will give up its wiretapping issues this according to american geo political

analyst eric draitser. to entrust the scene bureaucrats like clapper and others who have been caught lying publicly on the record to congress and to other policymakers and officials about the nature of these programs about what the united states is doing about its very operations in the most public sense of the word and so we are to intrust these people with some kind of an internal review it is laughable it is just about as laughable as wall street banks regulating themselves. more details of the techniques the n.s.a. uses are being revealed a report in the washington post shows the agency has been harvesting huge troves of data from google and yahoo by simply breaking into their communications setups this leak sketch chair from an internal presentation shows how the n.s.a. intercepts google traffic by tapping into the company's data cables millions of

records collected in this way every day and then well there's a little doodle from one of the technicians as you can see the n.s.a. guys there up the engine is assuming perhaps to enjoy what they're doing if indeed the smiley face is anything to go by. by to get more impression of what these doodles mean just check out the column just a click away no matter how hard the u.s. government is working on mending the shattered image of the guantanamo bay prison the flow of criticism continues to shallow and down on the facility a new report by a u.s. based human rights group was found quote systematic violations at the site and called for its immediate closure. for its aunties and i went to guantanamo bay to see what it's like for herself an exclusive inside report here on alt. every morning at eight am the u.s. national anthem erupts across the beast that holds america's most scandalous

president no one likes to be spit on no one wants to have their own on torture hunger strikes and suicides have marred this place since two thousand and two and they're human beings after all they're there's no reason to expected they enjoy being here you know we pretend otherwise prisoners held indefinitely in the name of the never ending war on terror whether they're innocent or guilty is not our job right now we have the court system determined that in just over a decade a total of seven hundred seventy nine prisoners the majority released without charges today one hundred sixty four remain over half of them cleared for release but still kept locked up. on the other side of the barbed wire. life is a blast. there's water and ice there's nothing really bad about here just like any common american town now is awfully scared to come here but i mean it's absolutely beautiful place and you get around all the other stuff getting

around the other stuff is not hard a lot of what goes on here is kept under a thick veil of denial and secrecy delta house is a hospital and library and this is also a place where patients are force fed and even though the hunger strike is largely and officially said to be over we know that at least fifteen people are continually being force fed here today a tube is passed down through a person's nostril and pushed all the way down to their stomach before it's passed down the nose we lubricate it and we give the patient a choice do they want to have the key which is agent to. numb the area or if they want to lubricate the tube. most of our patients have been using all of you seem to like it in fact some of our patients are so. used to this they will describe which nostril they want this while major world medical bodies are in agreement that for speeding is not ethical and

should not be practiced the force feeding them i've got my clients of experience to guantanamo they've certainly described the storage or the restraint chair that they're strapped into they actually call the torture chair an arabic force feeding takes up to forty five minutes and is performed twice a day the patients that had the civilian world have said it feel strange i've never heard insisting on. i have not heard that good move fishes are beyond nonchalant about the highly criticized practice you might feel differently from the way i might feel it uncomfortable has been the most of it i have heard but they don't even believe in what they're saying anyway because they know it sounds stupid i volunteer that the procedure be demonstrated on me request a client the prisoners who've not met one another and speak different languages keep saying the same thing that we were tortured fused. tied. to the chair legs to the ground they. struck across and they forced in a tube into our noses never in thirteen years have detainees been allowed to speak

directly to a journalist while remaining it gives only leaking statements through lawyers they would love nothing more than to sit down with journalists and just tell them you know about their daily lives but communicating seems to only occur here if someone was a point where maybe they had been verbalizing a lot of hopelessness we were immediately intervening and trying to assist that person to make sure that there wasn't any thoughts of maybe wanting to harm themselves or in their lives with charts like these often used to pinpoint patients despair you asked them how do you feel right now and they'll be able to point to it we have not had a patient in this area. thank you meanwhile six suicides and dozens of suicide attempts have taken place at the detention facility we haven't seen any autopsies the u.s. government hasn't released any formal reports or findings we're now inside two active camps at guantanamo camp five single cells where the so-called clients are

held camp number six is one filled with communal cells when officials. there will be boarded by being allowed to live in groups while detainees are kept away from us what we witness are clean empty prison cells with cozy pajamas colgate toothpaste and maximum security shampoos paraded in front of journalists as proof everything is so much better here than any silly horror stories we all have heard of. cuba. another scandal the back of the prison just last week james cornell the lawyer of a man accused of aiding the nine eleven attacks has now claimed his client suffers from major health problems after he was tortured by the cia. immediately upon being transferred to guantanamo bay mr abu cheek went to the medical staff and complained that he had suffered a head injury while in cia custody. nothing was done to follow up on that there's

no investigation into someplace else told military commissions there's no investigation into the possibility of a federal civilian court there are still a significant number of people who are on hunger strike at guantanamo bay who are being force fed and sometimes hospitalized the most important question is the silence of the defendants that they can't tell anyone whether that's the un special rapporteur on torture or members of congress and their staff who are investigating the issue they can't tell anyone about what happened to them in cia custody that's what we're challenging because if we can break the silence on that question there could be real movement on guantanamo bay. well thanks for joining us here on aleksey international still to come on the program by bailout. the number one priority would be to make a decision that is based on what is the best and most suitable and sustainable existence for all people the for economy of the head of the irish government and

kenny talks about becoming the first country to turn the financial boat. on the syrian conflict is forcing millions out of their homes but most of them can't go too far away and to stay inside the country under constant threat of terror attack we meet one of the families in just a minute. well the. money it's technology innovation all the is developments from around russia

cameron for all his wealth preferred to negotiate with the e.u. the need it all together and germany. is the linchpin that holds the entire project together and yet these two countries that are reportedly cutting a secret deal to protect their main industries against the e.u. regulations it's a tit for tat thing britain is proposing to support germany's to delay the introduction of a cap on carbon dioxide emissions which will harm b.m.w. mercedes. and in return britain seeking germany's help to protect the banking sector from the weights of brussels regulations the proposed deal may also include germany's help. bankers' bonuses something the tory policies controversy points against the tide of public opinion but it's not just germany and britain practically every member has something to complain about belgian. pricing

institutions like the european central bank. well officials might have a few political leaders have got to decide in the interests of europe and that's the decision that was made it's very clear so for to an all of the reason since. i moved was after promise and i'll start this we will be the first your own country to exist below the number one priority would be to make a decision that is based on what is the best and most curable and sustainable exists for our people for economy owned was a forced entry having to deal with the scale of borrowing to support to be capitalized banks and not have the facilities of resilience from the european perspective that we have negotiated with our colleagues they thank you union supervision new regulations and the possibility of a recapitalization. so what does it take for different people of every walk of life to survive in today's economic rat race you can find out today in the kaiser report . six other running you can do to keep in the same place said the red queen to

alice it takes all the printing you can do to keep in the same place said the banker is to bernanke it takes all the working you can do to keep in the same place said the near futile fact of the chumps we have to work for a living but i say not only does it take all the running printing working but it also takes other bombing stealing and defraud exploring and dying shaking breaking and taking to stay in the same fricken place isn't the right stacy. or the kaiser report a bit later here on r.t. for now let's shift gears to washington d.c. and the iraqi prime minister has are the u.s. to bring its airborne muscle to his country to tackle the snowballing violence more than four hundred people have been killed in the state just in this month alone and my colleague bill dog he spoke with karen kwiatkowski she was in the u.s. air force she believes bringing any more weapons into iraq will only worsen the situation. airpower is not the solution to the kind of sectarian strife that you're

seeing in the urban areas. all it's going to do is what it's done for twenty years it's been a destroyed buildings and people pollute the environment it doesn't work very well and you mention collateral damage well that's the rule that's kind of the rule when we use airpower we expect and we get plenty of collateral damage and you can't you can't really make up for that by saying i'm sorry you said only pointing the finger of blame at the political system that the prime minister there but just how much is the u.s. responsible for the situation now in the wrong oh my goodness i mean you know twenty years you know nine hundred ninety nine hundred ninety one we've been the bombing the dozen years of on between that second invasion then we put in place puppet who maleki amazingly is still there one of the guys we've been working with for a decade these people do not have the credibility that they would need to be true leaders political leaders of a unified iraq and they're facing problems that are well beyond their capabilities

the office of civil rights in the city of seattle washington has told city employees that certain terms may not be used in official emails and discussion scoring to google fox news these terms would be brown bag and citizen ninety nine percent of americans when they hear the expression brown bag think of taking a nice healthy lunch you know in a brown paper bag to work with themselves but in politically correct insanity land these words are obvious reminder of the days when a person's skin color was compared to a brown paper bag to determine race well if any were even remotely linked to an incident of racism needs to be banned then we've got to get rid of the word blanket because they gave the native americans disease still blankets to kill them i and they block their land with beads so we've got to get rid of that word to remember the separate drinking fountains and segregated buses based on race in america yes so we can't say those words anymore either we might just possibly remember

something bad which could lead to the ultimate horror of the modern western world unpleasant thoughts we see a lot of western countries the term citizen becoming offensive because it makes resident foreigners legal or illegal feel like second class people well compared to actual citizens legally you kind of are if you're offended that you are not treated as a citizen of seattle why not assimilate become a citizen of the united states join the team but that's just my opinion. hello all i'm abby martin and this is breaking up the set you're get the feeling

that u.s. policy is still running on a cold war mentality or maybe just the cold war grudge case in point tuesday's u.n. general assembly vote to finally bring an end of the fifty year old economic embargo against cuba this is the twenty second year in a row the u.n. voted to condemn this blockade but this time the vote was especially are stored in an unprecedented roll call the u.n. g.a. voted one hundred eighty eight to only two and a favor of and in the decades long embargo that is largely isolated the small caribbean island and guess who were the only two may vote yep none other than the good old us of a are inseparable partner in all things undiplomatic israel and even though the overwhelming majority has already been tallied twenty one times before every time it does the u.s. government knocks it down faster than you can say crippling economic sanctions following the vote cuba's foreign minister spoke out about the embargo to the

general semele by saying quote seventy six percent of cubans have lived under its devastating effects since the day they were born it provokes hardships and is a mass flagrant and systematic violation of human rights. the foreign minister also reminded the un that the economic damages have amounted to well over one trillion dollars since it was instated under president kennedy and at this point the world is wondering what the hell is the point in continuing the blockade and for that matter what legitimacy does an international body like the un even have if the global community can vote almost unanimously on a change in policy and have zero zero effect on its outcome there remains to be no rational argument for the us to continue depriving the people of cuba financial stability and international trade people are suffering right now and this country an able to live up to its full potential so if you think the charade needs to stop once and for all and stick around.
